Tang's dining table

In the early morning, Yun Chu walked into the Wannian County Government Office.

This time, all the colleagues in Wannian County came very early and lined up neatly to welcome the arrival of the county official. But it was different from usual. This time, even the handymen in the county government stood at the back.

Yunchu dismounted in front of the notice board at the entrance of the yamen, handed the reins to the doorman, and began to check the notices on the notice board. He saw that the latest notice on it was also from two months ago, and it was about the distribution of grain reserves.

Yun Chu turned his head and looked at the doorman and said, "How can you be so lazy in government?"

The doorman bent down and said, "It's because the prince is not here."

Yun Chu snorted coldly and said, "If I die, you will stop working?"

After the words came out of his mouth, Yunchu felt that he shouldn't say these words to the doorman, so he stomped into the Wannian County government office with his hands behind his back.

Seeing that Shen Ru and others were greeting him respectfully with their hands solemn, they didn't want to criticize others at this time, so they raised their hands and said, "I have the intention."

Everyone stepped in and returned the courtesy: "We sincerely welcome the return of the county magistrate."

Yun Chu waved his hand and said: "This year's annual leave is cancelled. During this period, the salary will be doubled. In addition to the sacrifices, no one will be missing. Shen Ru, Zhang Jia, Chen Hongming, you three come to my house, and the others will leave."

When Yunchu returned to his mansion, he immediately noticed that the furnishings inside had been greatly changed, and he frowned and said, "Why is it so troublesome?"

Shen Ru said without changing her expression: "Wu Chengsi stayed here for a day, and Liu Nayan also stayed here for a few days. The people below felt it was unlucky, so they cleaned it again and changed the furnishings inside."

Yunchu took one look at the lit red clay stove and let it go. After filling the copper pot with water and sitting on the stove, he said, "Tell me, how much damage has been done to Wannian County?"

A trace of pride flashed in Shen Ru's eyes, and then he bowed and said: "The county has ordered my subordinates to look after the house. Although I don't have the ability to expand the territory and seal the wolf as a cub, I am still capable of being a housekeeper. "

Yunchu sighed and said: "So, you have attracted all those people's attention to the capital pool?"

Shen Ru smiled and said: "Since the Lord once said that the capital pool will explode sooner or later, my subordinates feel that it is better to explode early than to explode late, and it is better to explode in our hands than in the arms of others.

In this way, we will have fewer wolves in Wannian County in the future. "

Yun Chu raised his eyes and looked at Shen Rudao: "It's time for you to leave Wannian County. As long as you have the ability, stay here and use your talents. Think about where you want to go as soon as possible. I will take advantage of this moment to keep my word. I will write the recommended memorial."

Shen Ru chuckled and said, "The lower official wants to compete for the position of Doctor in the Department of Household Affairs."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "I'll be rich once I get started, and I'm not afraid of overwhelming you to death."

Shen Rudao: "Since I can clearly organize the wealth of Wannian County, there is no reason why I can't organize the expenses of a household department."

Yun Chu sighed and said: "Don't be too ambitious, and don't be too anxious to get promoted. This is not a good time to be an official. The bigger the official, the greater the chance of unlucky one."

Shen Rudao said: "Except for the fact that Dr. Duzhi is still eye-catching, the rest are insignificant."

Yun Chu nodded and said: "Then let's wait until the end of the year. If the Liushui brand matter is not resolved, I will have no shame in helping you compete for the position of Duzhi Langzhong."

Shen Rudao: "Of course it is."

After dealing with Shen Ru's matter, Yun Chu looked at Zhang Jia again and said, "It's amazing. Even a seventh-grade political officer like He Yang Ling looks down on him. What do you want to do?"

Zhang Jia said confidently: "The county magistrate under me is from the sixth rank. If he went to Heyang, wouldn't he be demoted?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Can't you tell which one is better, a sixth-grade general officer or a seventh-grade official official?"

Zhang Jia said with a smile: "I still feel more at ease following the county magistrate."

When Yunchu saw that Zhang Jia was not good enough, he ignored him and said to Chen Hongming, the head of the household: "Your experience is a bit lacking. If you want to be promoted directly to the chief registrar, you may not be able to go through the official selection process." make life difficult for."

Chen Hongming stepped in and saluted: "I am ready to make new achievements."

Yun Chu nodded and said, "Where are you going to make your contribution?"

Chen Hongming said: "Please allow the county magistrate to allow me to follow you and participate in the resurrection of Liushui Brand at any time."

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Don't risk your life just to get promoted. It's not worth it."

Chen Hongming said with a smile: "Wealth can be found in danger, so I am well prepared. Furthermore, following the county magistrate, I don't know where danger will come from."

Yun Chu smiled and shook his head, ending the formal conversation.

Seeing the water boiling on the stove, Zhang Jia quickly prepared cans of tea. After the four of them drank the tea, Yun Chu said to Shen Ru: "Since you have preserved the vitality of Wannian County, then show it." Show it to me."

Shen Ru smiled and said: "Please make specific requests from the county magistrate."

Yun Chu laughed and said, "Everything is like yesterday...can it be done?"

Shen Ru laughed and said, "This is natural."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Then go ahead and do it."

Zhang Jia stood aside and said with a smile: "I don't know if this year's bonus can be paid out. It stands to reason that merchants all over the city are in bad luck. If according to what the county magistrate said, everything will be the same as yesterday, once this money is paid out, will it be People poking us in the spine?”

Yun Chu said: "Distribute it as usual. Since the rules have been established, everyone is waiting for the money with blue eyes. Since it is ready, let's distribute it. Remember that this year's material purchase will be more abundant, so you can have one more sheep. "

Zhang Jia bowed and accepted the order. Seeing Yun Chu pick up the tea cup again, the three people who knew Yun Chu's habits also left one after another.

Yun Chu spent an entire morning acting as a humanoid seal, of which criminal judgment documents accounted for about half of all documents. Liu Nayan and Wu Chengsi, these two bastards, have done nothing serious at all.

Yun Chu searched these documents at a glance. Unless he was preparing to report a death penalty case to Dali Temple or a Fenghua case, his search speed would slow down. When encountering ordinary dispute cases, he would not even read them and would just stamp them.

Anyway, it was just a few days in jail, or a whipping, and the most serious thing was just being put on a leash, and being paraded in front of the county government office was not a big deal.

In fact, death penalty cases can also be swept away, but Yunchu himself feels that he needs to be cautious. The real decision on whether this death row prisoner will be executed after autumn is a matter for Dali Temple.

He, the local chief official, had to take the Fenghua case seriously. If the Fenghua case turned into an ethics case, if Yunchu hadn't noticed, all the imperial censors would have rushed up and eaten him alive.

The foundation of the Tang Dynasty's governance is etiquette. If it is destroyed, it means that Guo Zuo is destroyed. There must be no mistakes. Once discovered, they must be dealt with immediately. This is something that the county magistrate Yunchu can handle flexibly. .

This flexibility ranges from decapitation to scolding and enlightenment, it all depends on Yunchu's choice.

Of course, in the Tang Dynasty, the royal family did not care about this thing, and ordinary people must abide by it!

It wasn't until noon, when Yun Chu took a sip of cold tea and stretched his waist, that he realized that the sun outside was already setting in the west.

After washing his hands, the handyman came in and cleaned the inkstone on Yunchu's desk, rearranged the desk, and collected the discarded papers. Seeing that there was still water in the teapot, he asked carefully: "Can you bring lunch?" ?”

Yun Chu waved his hand, got up and went to the canteen of the county government office. After not sitting in the county government office for a long time, it was time to talk to some newly promoted officials while eating.

There were many officials who ate in the county government canteen. Yun Chu knew most of them, but Yun Chu had never seen a few of them.

What makes Yun Chu most sad is that the Wannian County government office is much cleaner now. At least minor officials like Li Jingxuan's son-in-law and the son of the Minister of Household Affairs have disappeared from the county government office.

This group of people have the sharpest sense of smell. When Wannian County is good, they will swarm here. Once Wannian County becomes the center of the storm, they can run faster than anyone else.

However, he was still a little surprised to see Lu Zhaolin eating in the cafeteria.

When Zhang Jia saw Yun Chu come in, he picked up the empty rice tray that had been prepared and prepared to cook with Yun Chu.

Seeing that Yunchu's eyes fell on Lu Zhaolin, he explained while loading his food: "The Jinshi who was a Jinshi two years ago was selected by the Ministry of Household Affairs this year to be an eighth-grade official in our county. Currently, he is following the chief registrar. He helped mainly by publishing some proclamations and writing documents for the six departments. I heard that he was still compiling the "Wannian County Chronicle" in private. Generally speaking, he was a motivated and cheerful young man.

This guy's poems are good. The chief bookkeeper commented that although the poems he wrote are not as majestic as those of the county lord, they are also rare and fresh and meaningful. "

Yun Chu asked the cook to serve him a bowl of noodles, and while he was waiting for the noodles, he waved to Lu Zhaolin. He was quite familiar with this person. When he was competing against wealthy families in real estate in Chang'an, Lu Zhaolin's grandfather contributed a lot.

Ever since Yun Chu came in, Lu Zhaolin's eyes had been following Yun Chu. Yang Jiong beside him whispered: "Do you want to go over and talk to the county magistrate?"

Lu Zhaolin shook his head and said: "I really want to know how the county magistrate wrote "The Wine Will Come in". Although it breaks the rhythm of many poems, it makes people unable to bear to criticize it, and even gave rise to the idea that this poem should be like this. Written with emotion.”

Yang Jiong smiled and said: "Nowadays, when you are running errands in a government office, you always have the opportunity to ask for advice in person. Look, the county magistrate has called you over."

Lu Zhaolin quickly wiped his mouth, then quickly came to Yun Chu and saluted, "I have met the county magistrate."

Yun Chu put spicy chili into the noodle bowl and said with a smile, "How is your health, Azu?"

Lu Zhaolin said quickly: "Last night, I was still praising the county magistrate's new poem "The Wine Will Come in". He also said that this poem broke the barriers of poetry since the Five Dynasties and was the first of its kind."

Yun Chu waved his hands and said: "It's just a matter of words. Since you have entered the government office, you must put official duties first. Poetry is just a minor thing after all. As an official, you must protect the people. This is the first priority."

Lu Zhaolin saluted again and said: "A lower official will not dare to use poetry to abolish government affairs."

Yun Chu nodded with satisfaction, picked up the noodle bowl and said, "That's very good!"

Oh my God, my brothers and sisters are so awesome. They get more than 50,000 votes a day. Can you believe it? Come on, come on, come on, come on, kill me with your monthly tickets.
