After the case of Yong Ping Bo was settled, Fang Yingwu's life as a county magistrate gradually got on the right track. Lou Tianhua was in charge of the reception room and assisted in handling county government affairs; Wang Ying, because of his proficiency in writing, was responsible for keeping the magistrate's seal and managing the official seal.
Fang Yingshi is the bodyguard on the outside and the gatekeeper on the inside. The three of them perform their duties and everything is in order.
As for the others, although Team Leader Zhang Gui and Zhang Gui had their moments of failure, they still had a lot of merits. Fang Zhixian directly created the title of "Chief Team Leader" and asked Zhang Gui to take this position.
And he was in charge of all the government servants, which was regarded as a reward based on merit.
Originally, Fang Yingwu wanted to name him "Chief Catcher", which is how he was called in the novel, but Zhang Gui insisted on changing it to "Chief Catcher" because he said this name was more noble.
As for the others... Fang Yingwu called Lou Tianhua, "The Ministry of Household Affairs sent a letter asking the county to dispatch thirty officers to escort the Beijing Bank to the border town."
Lou Tianhua was puzzled. There was nothing special about this matter. It was handled as usual. Why did he have to call him over to explain it specifically? Then he heard the magistrate Fang order: "I think I will let Qian County Cheng lead the team! Then from there
The county government will find a group of incompetent people to dispatch, and if there are not enough people, they will be recruited from the household registration."
In this way, Lou Tianhua suddenly realized that escorting supplies to the border was a hard job. This was obviously an attempt to defeat Qian Xian Cheng, who had been restless some time ago.
Master Lou had no objection to this. When the proprietor's position was not stable some time ago, what Qian County Prime Minister did was seen by everyone in the yamen. If the proprietor didn't show some expression, wouldn't it look too weak? So he followed the order.
Go down and execute it.
However, it was said that not long after, Qianxian Cheng came to the second hall angrily and wanted to see Fang Zhixian. However, he was blocked by Fang Yingshi and was not allowed to enter. However, Qianxian Cheng roared a few times in a very disgraceful manner, causing others to watch the fun from a distance.
It was put in.
The Prime Minister of Qian County got angry and asked the other County Magistrate: "This county has never had a case where the Magistrate personally escorted someone there. I don't know what the Magistrate's intention was."
Fang Yingwu replied cheerfully: "Ah. This work is related to the morale of the border troops and is very important. In order to show the county government's attention, I had to pay the county magistrate a trip."
Qianxian Cheng obviously did not accept this "love" and said: "It only takes one or two men to escort the silver supplies to the border town. Why do I need to go down there?"
Fang Zhixian spoke very seriously, "Because this matter is important, we must send trustworthy and reliable people. Looking at the county government, only Mr. Qian's character is the most trustworthy to me, so I entrusted him with such an important task. I hope Qian
Sir, please do not let me down."
Seeing a young man in his twenties talking to him in an official tone, Qian Xian Cheng went crazy and said angrily: "I am also a seventh-grade imperial official, how can I do such a thing as a trafficker and a pawn!"
Fang Yingwu slapped the table and reprimanded loudly: "What are you talking about? Since you are an official of the imperial court, your job is to serve the country and share the worries of the king. How can you be afraid of hardship and fatigue when you see the errand, and push back and forth? The sage wrote
Is this what I teach you? If you don’t want to do something, you can resign from your job and return to your hometown to be free and at ease!"
Qian County Prime Minister almost wanted to vomit blood, but had no choice but to come out. Fang Zhixian sneered a few times and said a few words he learned from reading officialdom novels in his previous life. It was quite useful. It is no wonder that leaders like to talk like this. The existence of official accent also has practical significance.
of.
The next day, when all the subordinate staff came to pay homage to the county magistrate, Zhang Gui, who had just been promoted to the head of the team, wanted to actively show his demeanor as a confidant of the county magistrate. He stood out from the crowd and said: "The eldest master has been in office for a long time. His family members
The belongings etc. have not been moved yet. I have nothing to do recently. I volunteer to help!"
The county magistrate Fang pondered for a moment and then refused: "I live in the county government, and everything depends on the public treasury. This is due to the people's support. If I move my family members here, it will cost more and consume public funds! Not to mention that my home is not far away.
It’s convenient to come and go, so there’s no need to worry.”
After that, Fang Yingwu said again: "I am the only one who lives in the houya, and there is no need for many servants to serve. We can count the number of people and send away all the excess people!"
Although Zhang Gui regretted not being able to help with personal matters, he still responded to the situation with flattery: "My lord is really selfless!"
When Fang Yingwu came back to the second hall, he saw family members waiting. When he saw Fang Yingwu, he reported: "The eldest man in the family ordered the younger one to send a message that my wife is going to give birth."
Fang Yingwu heard the cheers and said: "This is a happy event!" He stopped working now and took Fang Yingshi out incognito, left the county government office through the back door, and then returned home.
As soon as they entered the house, they were filled with joy both inside and outside. Everyone's face was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the doorman called out to each other: "Young Master! Madam has just given birth to a little son!"
When Fang Yingwu saw his father sitting in the hall, Shi Shiran stepped forward to congratulate him: "Congratulations to my father for having a son. Oh no, more children will bring you more blessings!"
Fang Qingzhi habitually reprimanded: "You are the father and mother of a county now, and you set an example for hundreds of miles. You have no formal appearance at all. How can you educate the people?"
Fang Yingwu lowered his head and said, "Yes, that's what father taught me."
Fang Qingzhi rarely felt that he was a little too much. It was not pleasant to say this on such a happy day, so he calmed down and said: "This is a happy event for the Fang family, and it is also a happy event for you. In the future, we must be respectful to each other and live in harmony.
As a brother, you should love and give in to each other."
Although Fang Yingwu didn't get permission, he took the initiative to find a chair and sit down on his own, and said lazily: "Father, what are you worried about? I understand very well, son. But don't worry, father, other people may cause trouble."
Jokes about brotherly feuding will never happen in our family!"
Fang Qingzhi nodded happily, "That's good if you have this to say. I hope you can remember what I said today."
Fang Yingwu suddenly said with a smile: "Well, most of the disputes between brothers in other families are about fighting for the family property. But in our Fang family, I would like to say something treasonous, father, what family property can you leave behind? What can you have in your box?
A few copper coins? A few acres of land in the mountain village in my hometown, what else can I fight for?
Even if my father has a bright future in the future and can be kind to his descendants, it will only be a quota for the Imperial College. Whoever wants it can take it. My son, a member of the Huiyuan Council, is very rare for this.
So father, please rest assured, my son, I will not do anything ridiculous like begging for nothing! Then naturally the family will be harmonious, and we will be safe every year!"
Fang Qingzhi stared at his son again and again. Why did his words sound so awkward? What kind of sadness is it when the father's struggle is completely looked down upon by his son? A few days ago, I met Yang Tinghe who was the same year.
My father, Yang Chun, must have felt the same way. He was really in the same boat!
Fang Yingwu stood up and said goodbye: "The inner courtyard must be busy today, so I won't go visit my brother. It won't be too late to see you again tomorrow when everything is sorted out. Father, please take care of yourself and don't be overjoyed and hurt yourself." (To be completed.)
