Li You knocked on the door, and Xiaozhu soon opened the door and exclaimed: "Long time no see, Master!"
"Only three days? Why did it take so long?" Li You asked as he entered.
"An ancient saying goes, one day without seeing you is like three years." Xiaozhu said seriously, closing the door.
Li Youqi said: "We haven't seen each other for a few days, and Xiaozhu has learned to put away his schoolbag, but it should be like three autumns after not seeing each other for a day."
"Sister Jin taught me this, and I think this sentence is very appropriate. However, Sister Jin said that it is appropriate for her to use this sentence, but it is not suitable for my family. Master, do you know why?" Xiaozhu opened his eyes and looked forward to the master's enthusiastic answer.
Master Li You kindly touched the little girl's head and said, "You will understand when you grow up."
When Jin Baoer heard Li You's voice, he also came out and said, "Congratulations, sir."
Li You teased: "Marrying a stupid lady is not as interesting as Aunt Jin."
Jin Baoer lightly punched Li You and said, "I know how to make fun of people, but now it's no better than in the past. It's a big deal for others to hear."
Li You went into the house to chat with the two girls, and had lunch here. When he was about to leave, Jin Baoer suddenly mentioned Sister Li Mei: "Sister Li came here yesterday..."
"You scolded me?" Li You said bluntly.
Jin Baoer said cautiously: "I do have some complaints about the master."
"What did you say?"
"Sir, you are no longer as innocent and sincere as you were before. Now you actually indulge your own disciples and entangle good women while pretending to be stupid in front of them..."
It seems that Sister Li Mei also got the news about his marriage. Li You said: "If she comes again, tell her to endure it for a few more days!"
Jin Baoer covered her mouth and smiled: "She can't bear it anymore."
"Could she be moving away?"
Xiaozhu interjected: "She said that if I don't care anymore, she will claim to the disciples that she is your lover! I guess the disciples won't dare to pester her."
Then there was no need to worry about it. Li You thought, it would be best to let his father-in-law know that there was a lover of his son-in-law next door to the new house. He said goodbye to his concubine and went to the Liu Mansion, and took his wife home without mentioning it.
The Xishui Inspection Department, where Li You is about to take office, is located on a high ground at the intersection of Taihu Lake and Xuhe River. The entire Inspection Department has a total of 150 soldiers, 13 sentry boats, and one passenger ship. There are also another
There are four scribes, six servants, several handymen and cooks, and the soldiers are equipped with bows, arrows, spears, and daggers. It can be said to be the strongest violent organization (whether legal or legal) from the surface of Taihu Lake, the coast to Xujiang County.
Unlawful).
The duties of the Inspection Department are very simple. Otherwise, how would Inspector Liu dare to leave the Xishui Inspection Department to Li You? In short, it is to catch thieves, rape, capture fugitives, and smugglers. They are all daily tasks.
Public security affairs are not responsible for complex local government affairs. They can only review cases but not judge them. If you have to compare them, it is the standing militia and the police station.
In the early years of the Republic of China, the assessment principle for the inspection department could be summarized in four words - nothing happened. It sounded very happy and beautiful, and as long as nothing happened, it was the most qualified. Later, Emperor Taizu probably felt that this was outrageous, so he decided
Different levels of assessment standards were set for catching 30 thieves, 100 people, and 200 people.
I went too far, but said that Mr. Li You, the deputy inspector of the West Water Inspection Department, was temporarily acting as the deputy inspector of the West Water Inspection Department. He ignored his newlyweds and was diligent in his official duties. He resolutely came to take office on the fourth day after his marriage. If
There are evaluations, and an advanced worker cannot escape. But if you marry a wife who is no different from a pillow, you probably can't talk about the love between newlyweds.
The process of taking office was uneventful. His father-in-law, Inspector Liu, first called the people in the government office and a dozen police officers who had stopped patrolling today to show Li You over. After that, Inspector Liu handed over the judgment hall and the signing room to Li You.
Li You went home to take care of himself and take care of himself in old age.
Li You reluctantly sent his father-in-law out and stared at the old inspector's retreating figure until he disappeared on the river. Because there was a square object engraved with the six characters "Xishui Inspection Division Seal" still in his arms.
He kept it in his pocket, and his father-in-law took it away, which made Li You reluctant to part with it.
However, he was reluctant to leave. When he returned to the signing room, Li You, who was sitting in the inspection chair, could no longer restrain his excitement, and a burst of triumphant laughter suddenly broke out in his throat.
Even if the subordinates in the official office heard it, who would dare to say a word?
After being suppressed for so long and driven by others for so long, Li You finally has a one-third of an acre of land that he can be the master of. No matter how high the sky is outside, at least in this Xishui Town, no one can control him in the past ten years.
(ignore father for now).
After laughing a lot, Li You quickly got into the role, and he once again invalidated the laws of Piaotian literature and online novels. In this place where Inspector Liu has been running for more than ten years, and where no outsiders can intervene, there will be no subordinates who dare to confront his son-in-law.
Li You has thought a lot about how to do this job in the past few days, and has also talked with his old father-in-law, and gradually he has some lazy ideas. In order to achieve the goal of making the job bigger and stronger easily and easily, he must at least keep his position, which is nothing more than two things.
There are two aspects: one is official reputation and the other is reputation.
Official reputation means to be strict in doing things. Don't think it is a derogatory term. Li You is not like an official like a county magistrate. Sometimes he may need the reputation of loving the people like a son. On the contrary, as a peace officer, he should be strict and harsh. In the officialdom of this era,
There is often a reputation for being capable and daring to do things. There is a strong market for the saying that only by fearing authority can one be virtuous, as long as one is careful not to overly abuse the people and trigger civil unrest.
Fame means continuing to plagiarize poems to become famous. Having a big reputation will naturally bring great benefits. Li You has always believed in this. Is there a more cost-effective way than this? Can he get this position without fame? But he must continue
It may be more difficult to become famous than in the county town. After all, Xishui Town is one level lower than the county town. It needs to be carefully considered.
At this time, a servant holding a famous thorn reported: "The ambassador from the West Water Taxation Bureau is visiting."
Li You took a look at the ambassador and knew that the ambassador's surname was Zhang Shiying, so he hurried to the gate to welcome him.
This Xishui Town is a traffic hub, where goods from all directions gather. The county designated this place as a market, which is regarded as a bulk goods distribution center. It also set up a tax bureau to collect commercial taxes. All goods entering the market must be traded.
Collect taxes.
The official of the Taxation Bureau is an ambassador. Like the inspector of the Xishui Inspection Department, he is a ninth-grade official. He is also the only official with a rank in Xishui Town besides the inspection. He took the initiative to visit, and Li You couldn't be rude, so he naturally wanted to
Go out to welcome.
Mr. Zhang was in his forties, with a sparse and handsome appearance. He was originally an unsuccessful scholar, so he chose Gong to serve as a ninth-grade miscellaneous job. When he saw Li You, he held up his hands and said, "I'm sorry to come to visit you. I'd like to thank you, Mr. Li."
"
Originally, Li You could not be called "Master" at this time, but everyone knew that he was definitely going to succeed, so it was not an exaggeration to call him "Master Li" in advance.
Li You also said a few polite words and invited him to come in for tea and talk. One of them was a ninth-grade military official, and the other was a ninth-grade miscellaneous worker. Their statuses were extremely equal. After a while, they became familiar with each other and treated each other like brothers.
All I could hear was Zhang Shiying, Lord Zhang, saying: "In the future, if you are an official in the same town, you should get closer and get around more. I will hold a banquet tonight, please honor me, my dear brother."
