It was already noon when Qin Dewei finished his troubles at the Qianye Office. Gu Qiongzhi's house was also at the other end of Sanshan Street, so he could stop by for lunch on the way back.
So Qin Dewei sent the others away and went to Gu Qiongzhi's house. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes lit up. Mrs. Gu actually changed from mourning clothes to regular clothes, which were still summer styles for home. The three words were thin and translucent.
I really couldn't tell it at first. This waist seems to be thinner than Wang Lianqing's, tsk tsk.
"Why did you suddenly change your clothes?" Qin Dewei asked casually. It was indeed quite new.
Mrs. Gu gently waved her small round fan and said, "I've long been tired of wearing my mourning clothes. It's time to change my taste."
Qin Dewei always felt that there was something more in his words, so forget it, it was too tiring to think so much, life is rarely confused, and there is nothing more important than food in the world. So he urged: "I'm hungry, serve food, serve food!"
While Mrs. Gu ordered her maid to prepare the food, she asked curiously: "Did you really go to the Qianye Office?"
Qin Dewei drank tea and said, "Go and seal their door."
Mrs. Gu finally felt comfortable both physically and mentally, but the little man actually sealed up the entire Qianye Office for her own sake, regardless of the consequences! Is this how King Zhou You treated the princes in a beacon-fire show?
Wouldn't it be too impulsive to just do this? It would be difficult to handle if Qian Ye Gong goes crazy.
So Mrs. Gu quickly advised: "I have already expressed my anger. After you have eaten, you should go and unblock me. You have to let people run their business."
Qin Dewei always felt that Mrs. Gu had misunderstood something. He had only sealed the main gate and the temple, but there must be a back door. Then why couldn't the Qianye Office be able to operate and make a living?
Forget it, forget it, it’s too tiring to think so much, life is rarely confused, the world is big and there is nothing to eat.
In the afternoon, Jiao Deqiu, the general manager of the Qianye Office in the same city, went to Jiangning County Office and asked to see Magistrate Feng on behalf of the entire industry.
Manager Jiao still had the reputation of being a scholar, and he was a legendary Confucian businessman. Magistrate Feng had to give him some dignity to receive him. Then Manager Jiao severely complained about what Qin Dewei had done that morning.
The seal with the county government's official seal is still affixed. The gate and shrine of Qianye Office were directly sealed, allowing passers-by to watch outside. It became a joke!
But Feng Zhixian, as the eldest lord of Zhengyin County and a figure like Bailihou, was the representative of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty in front of the common people below the rank of a juren in this three-thirds of an acre of land.
Even if a direct superior like Fu Yin comes, if the county magistrate doesn't want to bow his head, no one can force him to kneel down, and he might even be praised for his strength. After all, everyone is an official of the imperial court.
What is a court appointee? Under the official system of the Ming Dynasty, county magistrates were not appointed and selected by the governor or provincial officials. Everyone, regardless of their official position, was directly appointed by the court, so they were called court appointees.
This is different from the system of later generations. Therefore, despite the low status of the county magistrate, there is no personnel relationship with the superiors. He is only subject to administrative and judicial duties. In addition, he has to accept the annual examinations of the superiors. We really cannot compare the official ethics of later generations.
View the Ming Dynasty.
This is also the reason why Magistrate Feng dared to cooperate with Qin Dewei in teasing the government. All in all, Magistrate Feng's status is here. It is impossible to just listen to what others say and only respond to Manager Jiao until the facts are found out.
After seeing off Manager Jiao, County Magistrate Feng sent an order to tell Qin Dewei to come over immediately!
The errand boy went to Qin's house in Qingxi but couldn't find anyone. He then went to Wang Lianqing's house in the old courtyard but still couldn't find anyone.
Finally, he had no choice but to return to the county government office, where he found Mr. Xiao Qin’s uncle, Mr. Qin Baotou, and asked: "Uncle Qin! Where else is Mr. Qin going? The elder has said that he must be found!"
Chief Qin Xiang frowned. His eldest nephew had gone to the Qianye Office on Sanshan Street in the morning. Then he must have stopped by someone else's house, so he replied, "I'll go find him right now!"
The errand boy said quickly: "I can just go, I don't dare bother Uncle Qin!"
Capt. Qin was also helpless. At this time, the eldest nephew might have taken a nap at someone's house. If outsiders knew that he was sleeping at the widow's house, wouldn't the boy's reputation for innocence be lost?
So Qin Captou insisted: "It doesn't matter, I'd better go. It just so happens that I also have something to say to him."
When they arrived at Widow Gu's house, Capt. Qin called the door. Not long after, he saw his eldest nephew coming out with sleepy eyes.
Without even thinking about what to say, Mr. Qin grabbed his eldest nephew and left. He first left the disputed area in front of the widow's door. Then he told him: "The county minister is looking for you in a hurry! I think the county minister is a little angry. You have to be careful."
good!"
Qin Dewei rubbed his eyes and said nonchalantly: "How can we, the county magistrate, not be angry?"
Qin Baotou was speechless. If you dare to say this, it is a miracle that the county magistrate has not beaten you.
When he arrived at the county government office, Qin Dewei walked through the front courtyard and came to the back hall of the magistrate.
When Feng Zhixian saw Qin's staff, he slapped the case and reprimanded him: "What are you talking about! Why did you seal the door of Qianye Office? I think you are really lawless, and you are becoming more and more wanton!"
If you don’t give me an explanation, I will definitely not forgive this behavior of bullying the market and insulting merchants today! I must not follow the example of the sages and kill Ma Su with tears!"
Qin Dewei showed a standard smile with eight teeth and asked softly: "County Lord, do you want to enter the local eunuch temple in the future?"
Feng Zhixian: ""
It's coming, it's coming, this devilish temptation is coming again! It's damn tempting again!
In the early Jiajing years of the Ming Dynasty, the social system was still somewhat regulated. It was not like the complete collapse of etiquette and music in the late Wanli period, when famous officials and local virtuous people were overrun.
At this time, the standards for local officials to enter local famous official temples were relatively strict, especially those in imperial capitals like Nanjing.
Being able to receive sacrifices as a famous official in the capital after death is a great honor for scholars and even for the entire family.
Qin Dewei continued to smile and asked softly: "My lord, do you want to get rich overnight and legally own a thousand gold private property, and it is a real private property that my wife doesn't know about?"
Feng Zhixian: ""
It's coming again, it's coming again, this devil's temptation is coming again! It's tempting to be tempted!
"If you have anything to say, just say it, and if you have something to say, let it go!" Feng Zhixian's eyebrows trembled for more than a dozen times before he couldn't help shouting! How come this damn little aide can always hit his own weaknesses accurately!
Qin Dewei took out a document from his pocket and presented it to Magistrate Feng respectfully.
Feng Zhixian opened it excitedly, skipped the front with great experience, and quickly found the most critical section in the middle and back sections.
"Two thousand taels of idle silver from the county government's treasury will be put into public shares of a private bank in the county, with a promise to return 40% of the profit after one year. The total capital together with the money will be two thousand eight hundred taels."
Feng Zhixian raised his head blankly, and he realized that he was ignorant again.
In this paragraph, I can really understand every word, every group of words, and every sentence, but after reading them together, I don’t understand the meaning at all? What is this for?
Also, what does it have to do with the official temple and the private property of a daughter?
