Author: Use your soul to aim

From a distance, it looked like the city wall was complete with watchtowers. It wasn't until I got closer that I saw that the city wall was still dilapidated, with only a part of it covered with bricks, and the city towers were in disrepair and were about to collapse.

When I walked to the city gate, I saw several government officials standing there lazily with swords in their hands, charging people who entered the city.

When he arrived at the city gate, Ding Bo dismounted his horse and went to the Yamen servants and asked them where their superior was.

Then they followed the yamen servant to find their superior. After a while, Ding Bo came over with a yamen servant. The yamen servant first greeted Zhang Zongxian and saluted, "Young man, pay homage to the county magistrate. I have already sent someone to inform Dian Shi, please."

The county magistrate, please wait a minute." At this time, the county government received the news and immediately got into chaos. Dian Shi was not at the county government office and went to Dian Shi's home to invite him.

Dianshi was stunned when he received the news. Normally, when taking office, he had to inform him when he would come here so that he could be prepared. Although Emperor Wanli had always been at odds with the officials and had been reluctant to appoint officials, Qingjian County had also been waiting for more than ten years.

There is no longer a county magistrate, but I still know the rules and regulations of taking office.

He secretly scolded the magistrate's master for not knowing the rules and just bringing the magistrate here.

Dian Shi first sent someone to tell everyone in the county government not to panic and not to announce that the magistrate had arrived.

Then he immediately took a car and rushed to the city gate. Zhang Zongxian was a little impatient waiting at the city gate, and thought of going directly to the county government office. He wanted to pick up his horse and go into the city, but the government officials at the city gate did not dare to stop him, so he let Zhang Zongxian in.

city ​​gate.

After entering the city gate, you first went to the urn and then went to the next city gate before actually entering the city. At this time, Dianshi's carriage arrived.

Dianshi got off the carriage and immediately walked quickly to Zhang Zongxian's horse. He bowed first and saw that Zhang Zongxian was still on the horse and had not gotten off. He felt a little unhappy, but he could only bite the bullet and say to Zhang Zongxian.

"Qian Zongsheng, the official historian of Qingjian County, paid a visit to the county magistrate."

When Zhang Zongxian saw this scene, he almost blurted out the word "flat body". Before he said it, he felt something was wrong and immediately changed it to "flat body".

"No gift."

He also felt that it was a bit inconvenient to speak on a horse and then dismounted.

The situation was a little awkward at this time. Zhang Zongxian didn't know what to say. Qian Dianshi didn't know what to do. There are a set of rules for new officials to take office. The county magistrate didn't know what to do, so he ran away without notifying the local officials.

Came to take office.

I also didn’t see the magistrate’s master being present. There were many things that couldn’t be told to the magistrate in person.

At this moment, the head of the official office came over and first paid homage to Zhang Zongxian. Then seeing that the scene was a bit embarrassing, he said

"I think the county magistrate must be tired from the journey, so why not go to Zhichun Tower to have a rest first, and wait for the county government to clean up first."

Zhang Zongxian also felt that standing here was not a problem, so he asked them to lead the way to Zhichun Tower.

Along the way, everyone saw the master and servant with two horses and a carriage, but no master or anything. They were a little suspicious of someone pretending to be the magistrate, although the superiors had notified that a newly appointed magistrate was about to take office.

Qian Dianshi thought that when he arrived at Zhichun Tower later, he could test this person's edict and avoid being pretended to be a joke to officials in other counties.

The county town is not big and there is only one main street. Soon we arrived at the Zhichun downstairs, and the shopkeeper welcomed everyone to the dining room on the second floor.

The shopkeeper was also surprised that he was suddenly informed that he was going to receive an important guest today. In such a small county, not many people usually come!

Along the way, Zhang Zongxian looked around curiously and excitedly, and even when he reached the private seats in Zhichun Building, his excitement did not pass away. Qian Dianshi and the others sat down and looked around at each other, not knowing what to say.

Finally, Dianshi, who had been in power for more than ten years, spoke up.

"Everyone in this county sincerely welcomes the County Honorable to come to our county. The County Honorable's arrival has made the county prosperous. But why didn't the County Honorable inform us in advance so that we can organize the county gentry to welcome the County Honorable?"

Zhang Zongxian thought to himself: How did I know that guy didn't inform you, and I also crossed over halfway. Seeing that Zhang Zongxian didn't speak, Qian Dianshi continued.

"Your Majesty, I wonder where your master is? Is he still on the way?"

How did Qian Dianshi know that this guy didn't have a master at all?

Ever since Zhang Zongxian's father died, he has been silent all day, and the neighbors have rumored that he was the one who made his father angry to death.

He himself felt that he spent every day in self-blame. After three years of this, coupled with the fatigue of the journey to take office, he finally became depressed and was finally possessed by Zhang Xiaolong's soul.

Although Ding Bo is a housekeeper, he doesn't know much about it. He knows that there are some rules for officials in the capital, but he doesn't understand the affairs of this place. They don't have the money to find the master anymore, and they think they will have money when they take office.

At this time, Ding Bo, who was beside him, also sensed something was wrong and immediately said, Master, it will take some time before he can come over if he has something to do. Dianshi thought to himself, this is really a fake, how can Master not come with the county magistrate, how can he do this?

Dian Shi was helpless and finally said that he wanted to see the edict and sue him. Ding Bo took it out of his arms and showed it to Dian Shi. After reading it, Dian Shi thought there was nothing wrong with it, but he still felt strange that the county magistrate was so ignorant of the rules.

Then he asked Zhang Zongxian which year he was doing.

Dian Shi did not dare to directly ask the Jinshi of that year, fearing that he was not born as a Jinshi and would offend him. Zhang Zongxian knew that the guy was an ignorant person, so he directly said that he was from the Imperial College and did not take part in the imperial examination.

Now everyone understood, it turned out to be the prison student who donated the money. No wonder he didn't understand the rules and didn't even bring a master. Could this official have also bought it?

After Qian Dianshi learned the details of Zhang Zongxian, he was not polite and directly talked to Zhang Zongxian about the rules for the new official to take office.

You must first choose a date to notify the local government of preparations, and ask the ceremonial office to prepare a list of the gentry who will come at that time. When the date arrives, everyone in the Yamen must wear official uniforms to welcome you, and accompany the new magistrate to worship the city god.

Then he went back to the backyard of the county government office to change clothes and meet the local gentry. After getting to know each other with the local gentry, they would go to the Confucian Temple to worship together. Three days after taking office, the meat stored in the ceremony room would be distributed to the gentry who were present that day.

Zhang Zongxian would be laughed at for taking office so rashly.

After hearing this, Zhang Zongxian knew that he was embarrassed, and the father who received the goods did not say a word in his suicide note.

He asked Qian Dianshi in a low voice how to remedy the situation. Qian Dianshi said that he should first let Zhang Zongxian live in the small courtyard behind Zhichun Building for a few days. He had asked the people in the county government not to announce that he was here, and would wait for them to choose a day before leaving quietly.

The city gate circled around and came back to hold the inauguration ceremony.

Zhang Zongxian could only listen to Qian Dianshi's arrangements and expressed his gratitude to Qian Dianshi. Then Qian Dianshi warned everyone not to spread the news about the arrival of the county magistrate, and asked everyone to go back and prepare.

He also told Zhang Zongxian to arrange his accommodation by himself and asked the boss to free up the small courtyard so that no other people could disturb the magistrate.

Zhang Zongxian has actually felt that behind the respect of everyone, there is already a trace of contempt for him. In this society where everyone is inferior and only good at education, an official who relies on donations means that he will not have the support of the same year, and will also be rejected by the majority of imperial examinations.

The officer's colleagues and superiors look down upon him and ostracize him or even embarrass him.

After staying in the small courtyard of Zhichun Tower, Zhang Zongxian felt deeply that he did not understand the various rules of the Ming Dynasty officialdom and had to find a master.

The question is where to find a master? Ask Uncle Ding, he doesn’t know, and hiring a master is not cheap. Uncle Ding took stock and estimated that he could make a hundred taels if he sold the horse. But he hasn’t taken office yet.

Selling horses.

Doesn’t this make these local people look down upon them even more? Now we can only take one step at a time.

Not long after lunch the next day, Qian Dianshi came to the small courtyard where Zhang Zongxian lived.

Three days after I reported to Zhang Zongxian on the selected date, the famous gentry in the county had already notified the list and brought them over. Everything needed for the sacrifice was also prepared.

After listening to the report, Zhang Zongxian first praised Qian Dianshi for his work, and then asked about some precautions during sacrifices.

After Qian Dianshi left, Zhang Zongxian went back to the house and took out a pen and paper and quickly wrote down the precautions that Qian Dianshi just mentioned. He had never practiced calligraphy in his previous life and now he could only write with a calligraphy pen.

After writing down the precautions, Zhang Zongxian began to recall TV dramas, novels, history books, etc. he had watched before. He wrote down everything he recalled, fearing that he would forget it after a long time.

For example: Wanli was the Carpenter Emperor, and the Carpenter Emperor died a few years after he was nine thousand years old. Then came Chongzhen, who was soon beaten to the capital by Huang Taiji, and Li Zicheng's rebellion. The more Zhang Zongxian recalled, the more something was wrong.

It is now the forty-sixth year of Wanli, so Wanli has only a few more years to live.

The carpenter forgot that he had been emperor for a few years, which must not be long, so it is estimated that Chongzhen will succeed to the throne in less than ten years.

As long as Chongzhen was in power, there have been many disasters in the north. Various peasant army uprisings, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entering the customs. Thinking of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs, they shaved their hair and changed clothes to leave their hair without leaving it, and there was also the ten-day ban on Yangzhou.

Immigration from abroad closed the door to the country, and what followed was a century of humiliation in modern times.

No, Shaanxi is too dangerous. You have to leave Shaanxi as soon as possible, otherwise you will either die from natural disasters or be killed by the rebels. But in the end, you will have to go through war and eventually be ruled by the Manchus after leaving Shaanxi.

No, he couldn't be ruled by the Manchus. He didn't want the money, let alone the hundred years of humiliation. Besides, after traveling through time, he felt an indescribable kindness when he saw the people around him wearing Hanfu.

I wanted to wear it before I traveled through time, but I wasn’t as open-minded as a girl. I was embarrassed to wear it, so I could only watch the video and give likes to my fellow Hanfu robes. Now that I have traveled to the Ming Dynasty, I have to keep the Han family clothes.

The Manchus must not be allowed to enter the country, and Shaanxi cannot be in chaos. People must be fed to avoid chaos. However, there are too many natural disasters in the Little Ice Age. It is snowing in Guangdong. How can we keep people fed?

?By the way, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., these crops are cold and drought tolerant and suitable for planting in the north.

We need to send people to the south early to search for these crops to see if they have been introduced to the Ming Dynasty. If not, we have to go to the Americas to look for them. There are still less than ten years left and we must find ways to promote them.

Even with these crops, the Manchus still had to be wiped out, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would be brought down by the Manchus sooner or later. They had to find ways to make money first. Once they had money, they could bribe Jiuqianshi to get promoted.

When the time comes, bribe Jiu Qiansui to arrange for him to go to Liaodong, and try to wipe out the Manchu Qing first. If that doesn't work, rebel and join the rebel army. Anyway, the Manchu Qing can't be allowed to enter the customs.

Now we can only take one step at a time. The short-term goal is to earn a lot of money and get promoted. The long-term goal is to eliminate the Manchu bandit group.

How do you make money here? On the way here, I saw that the products here are not very rich and it would be nice to have enough food.

How about we do engineering and large-scale construction? No, there is no CT in Ming Dynasty! We can’t develop tourism either. How about inventing something like glass soap?

But after thinking for a long time, I didn't remember how to make these things. I just know how to repair the hoofs of the stove. It seems that the only way to do business is to do business, but doing business also requires capital and supplies! Hu Biao and the others must have smuggled tea to the grassland.

Well, let's go back and ask Ding Bo how he got connected with Hu Biao and the others, and see if he can participate.

I thought there must be a shortage of everything on the grassland, and I still need capital. Where does this capital come from? I wonder what the county magistrate’s monthly salary is?

How often can I make an advance payment? I don’t know how the Qianzhuang in the Ming Dynasty developed, and whether I can borrow some principal.

During the three days of waiting, Zhang Zongxian, in addition to eating, recalled and recorded the knowledge before the time travel every day. The key historical content was also encrypted in pinyin, and he also thought about the future path.

I decided to establish a foothold in Qingjian County first, then raise some capital and start a business to make money, and then bribe Shangguan to get promoted.

Three days passed quickly, and Qian Dianshi came over again and arranged two smart government servants for Zhang Zongxian to dispatch.

On the day when he took office, before dawn, the Yamen officials rode their horses, led Ding Bo, and drove the carriage to the South City Gate early. As soon as the city gate opened, they immediately left the city gate, circled around, and rushed to the North Gate.
