"Mom, the place in the back is too small to accommodate so many of us." After a pause, he added, "The houses are all in ruins."

On the way, Xiaozaizi heard from his mother that they would live in the house behind the county government office. Naturally, Xiaozaizi wanted to take a look at the place where he wanted to live.

He had just slipped to the back by himself, and when he saw it, he was disappointed. The yard was really shabby, with weeds growing beside the walls. There were several houses, but only one had a good door and no window paper on the windows.

He just touched it lightly, and the window frame fell down, almost hitting him. Even if he was young, he knew that no one had lived in these houses for a long time.

Alas, no wonder his mother told him to be prepared to endure hardships. The conditions here are so bad, not only that they are not comparable to the capital, but even Ancheng where they lived is much better than this.

Yu Zhi looked at the worried little boy. She knew what was going to happen just by looking at the county government office. It could probably accommodate their family of three and two maids.

Uh, that was a mistake. She only thought about the remoteness of this place and was worried that she wouldn't be able to find anyone to take advantage of it, but she forgot to consider whether it could be a place to stay. If she had known better, she wouldn't have brought so many people here.

"It doesn't matter. If the place is small, we can expand it. If the house is dilapidated, we can repair it. Don't worry, there will always be a place for you to live." Yu Zhi pinched Xiao Zaizi's face, and with a thought in his heart, he asked him: "Mom, let Sister Xiaodie go.

Looking for an inn, do you want to go with me?"

Magistrate Lan hasn't left office yet, so he must be living behind the county government office. It's natural that Yu Zhi won't be dealt with by others. Isn't this just asking someone to leave? Yu Zhi is not a fool, so naturally he won't do such a thing.

The little boy was very excited, "Okay! Sister Xiaodie, let's go quickly. Mom, I will definitely find you a clean inn to stay in." He also gained a lot of knowledge along the way, and he knew that when staying in an inn, you need to find a clean one.

"Then we'll leave it to Zhouzhou for our accommodation tonight." Aunt Yu Zhi smiled and encouraged him, but she was not optimistic about it. However, they will probably stay in Shanyun County for a long time, and a child as big as Xiaozai should also

She knew how ordinary people lived, but she didn't want to raise a stupid son who said, "Why not eat minced meat?"

Wen Jiuxiao was asking the old Cangtou who was guarding the door. Maybe he was too powerful. The old Cangtou had never seen the world and he spoke in dialect. Wen Jiuxiao listened for a long time but didn't understand what he said. Fortunately, he

At this time, Magistrate Lan came back.

Seeing Magistrate Lan, the old man looked like he saw a savior. He raised his voice and said, "Mr. Lan, you are back. The new county magistrate has arrived. He has been waiting for you for a long time."

He babbled a lot and pointed at Wen Jiuxiao. Although Wen Jiuxiao didn't understand, he could still guess the meaning.

"Master Lan." Wen Jiuxiao cupped her hands towards Lan Huanping.

"Master Wen?" Lan Huanping returned the greeting and asked tentatively. He had very limited information. He only knew the name of the new county magistrate who came to take over his place, but he didn't know anything else. He had heard from someone who was looking for him in the village that the new county magistrate was the new one.

The county magistrate who came was so grand and had so many followers. Just now he had seen so many cars and so many guards with his own eyes, and he was wondering in his heart, why did the imperial court send a son of a noble family to such a place?

However, this is beyond his control. He is old and has not made any achievements after working in Shanyun County for twenty years. The most sorry thing is his wife and children who stayed in his hometown. Now that the court has sent someone to take over, he also

It's time to go home and spend time with your family.

Oops, I feel so sorry for the folks in Shanyun County that I couldn't lead them to live a good life.

Lan Huanping is an old man in his fifties, with gray beard and hair, wearing a coarse cloth, and his trouser legs are still stained with mud. It was said before that he went to the village to inspect, but seeing this, he went to the ground himself?

"That's right." Wen Jiuxiao respected Lan Huanping very much. Isn't a county magistrate who can stay in Shanyun County for twenty years and go to the field in person not worthy of respect?

Lan Huanping is a son of a peasant family. He was a Jinshi in the middle of his life. Although he was not among the same Jinshi, his ranking was very low. He had a family background but not a family background, and he had a background but not a background. His friends in the same year all came from a similar background to him.

, the good job will never be his turn.

In the end, there was only one magistrate left in Shanyun County. No one else wanted to come, so he came. County magistrates are usually elected every three years. Why did Lan Huanping work for twenty years? Because this place is too poor and chaotic.

, no one wanted to come, so he had to work one post after another. Later, when he got older and got seriously ill, he missed his hometown very much, so he went to Zhezi to beg for his bones.

No one dislikes a humble and courteous person. Lan Huanping's first impression of Wen Jiuxiao, a member of the aristocratic family, was very good, "They are all old and decrepit. I have kept Mr. Wen waiting for a long time. Let's go in and say this..."

"He glanced at the motorcade lined up in front of the Yamen and felt very embarrassed. There were so many people and there was no place to accommodate them!

Wen Jiuxiao said quickly: "Please, Mr. Lan, show me a flat and spacious place." There is no need to think about the house, it would be nice to have a flat land.

This was easy to handle. Lan Huanping breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the open space next to the official office, and said: "How about there?"

"Very good!" Wen Jiuxiao had actually set his sights on that place for a long time, but he was new here, so it was not good for him to make his own decisions.

Zhuo Zhengyang and Qingfeng led the people over to make arrangements, and Wen Jiuxiao followed Lan Huanping into the house. He had to hand over the documents first. Lan Huanping looked at the documents that Wen Jiuxiao handed over and made sure they were correct, and returned them to him.

"It turned out to be Marquis Pingbei, but he was too old to be trusted."

Lan Huanping was surprised. This man's background was too good! Not only was he well-born, but he was also capable, and he had also won the first prize. Anyone who became an official in the imperial examination would have a high regard for those with good knowledge.

The doubts in his heart became more serious. How did the first-rank marquis, the young minister of Dali Temple, and the young master of Wu'an Marquis come to Shanyun County to serve as a small seventh-rank magistrate? Was it due to exclusion and conspiracy, or...

Forget it, forget it, he is already leaving, why are he worrying so much? Look at this guy who came to take office with so many people and cars, he must be rushing to make some political achievements, he is young

He was promoted to Shaoqing of Dali Temple, which shows that he is capable. No matter what, as long as he can manage Shanyun County well, the people's life will be easier, which is better than anything else.

With this idea in mind, Lan Huanping told Wen Jiuxiao everything he knew, everything about Shanyun County, and even his many years of experience.

As the two of them talked, Lan Huanping's impression of Wen Jiuxiao became better. He was a young man with a lot of troubles in his heart and his own unique insights. And Wen Jiuxiao also admired Lan Huanping even more.

Can you imagine? Lan Huanping came to office alone. He had no county magistrate, county lieutenant, chief registrar, or historian. He held many positions in one person. The entire county government was run by him, the county magistrate, and seven other officials.

Quickly, add an old man as a janitor. He has been working for twenty years. He loves the people like a son and has a breeze on his sleeves.

This is a model worker!

The more they talked, the more they talked. If Yu Zhi hadn't sent someone to deliver lunch, they would have continued talking hungry.
