Chapter 145 Entering the city to take office
Because the city gate guard spoke in Langzhou dialect, he couldn't understand a single word in Langzhou dialect.
Fortunately, Zhuge Qing, who was beside him, understood and replied with a smile:
"Mr. Kong first came to Langzhou and still couldn't understand Langzhou dialect. Please ask someone to arrange a carriage to take us to the government office. This is my documentary, so you can take a look... Also, the person next to me also came to Langzhou with us. He is a classmate of Master Kong. He just lost the documentary because of some accidents and needed to be reissue. You can register and let him go in with us."
The city gate guard nodded quickly and asked someone to arrange a carriage and asked someone to notify the government officials Wu Mian to come to take office.
...
In the study of Langzhou Prefecture, Li Mingtian, the governor of the prefecture, nodded and said, "I understand."
After retreating from the city gatekeeper, Li Mingtian sat behind the case for a moment and sighed: "It's really not the time to come."
After saying that, he was about to get up, a middle-aged man in armor suddenly ran into the study: "Lao Li, I just heard that the new magistrate has arrived!"
Li Mingtian stood up and sighed, "I understand, I'm going to welcome him now. By the way, you ask the people in the household to prepare it. When he comes, he will definitely ask about the household registration tax and food. And the people in the official room, let them come over. In addition, let the people in the ceremony prepare and hold a banquet for him... There is no need to be too luxurious. We don't have that many good things, but we can't be too bad either."
The middle-aged man frowned when he heard this: "How great is it to let you succeed to the magistrate, but he even got one..."
Li Mingtian suddenly slapped the table: "Be careful! It is also a blessing for Langzhou to make a top scholar to be a magistrate!"
Zhao Zhicai was so scared that he shrank his neck, then he said with his neck in his arms, "It's a big deal! I've inquired, he's just a young man in his twenties! He has never done any official job, but he's the top scorer in the exam. Can he manage Langzhou well?! Haven't you been in Langzhou well for so many years? Then the emperor is too..."
After smashing the inkstone at his hand into the middle-aged man's head, Li Mingtian said coldly: "Don't give it to yourself, and don't cause trouble for me and the people of Langzhou!"
After saying coldly, he sighed and said, "First see what his attitude is after the banquet set up by the person who ate the ceremony. If it doesn't work, I will find a way to squeeze him away. In this situation in Langzhou, a headless leader is not allowed."
The middle-aged man didn't hide, and let the inkstone hit his head and bounced and fell to the ground. He curled his lips and said, "What do you think? I want me to say..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Mingtian glaring at him again, and immediately shrank his head and whispered: "Notify the household house to organize the household registration and grain tax, let the people from the official house come over, and then let the people from the court house hold a banquet, right? I understand, I will do it right now!"
After saying that, he ran out of the study, and was as enthusiastic as he was when he came.
Li Mingtian sighed at his back, then glanced at the Buddha statue on a bookshelf in the study and whispered: "Amitabha, I hope the new magistrate is a wise man."
...
He arrived at the government office in a carriage. After Wu Mian and Zhuge Qing and Qiu Mingzhi got off the car, they saw that there were already a group of people standing outside the government office. The leader was wearing the official uniform of the governor. He was about forty years old, with a serious face, firm eyes, and three long beards under his jaw. He was elegant and solemn.
After seeing Wu Mian get out of the car, he stepped forward and bowed and said, "Lu Mingtian, the chief minister of Langzhou Prefecture, has met Lord Kong."
As he moved, the people behind him bowed and greeted each other.
When the city gate guards came to report, they had already explained Wu Mian's appearance, and they would not admit their mistakes.
Wu Mian hurriedly reached out and helped him up, and smiled and said, "Please get up by Lord Tongzhi, please get up by everyone, you are so kind!"
He stood up, Li Mingtian made way and said, "Sir Kong, let's go in first. The banquet at the ceremony will take some time to eat."
feast?
When is this time? I'm still going to have a feast of wool!
