The county government is the center of Huairen County, but judging from the completeness of the building, it does not look like a central look at all, and it is covered with dilapidated and weeds. If you want to say anything different from the street, it is that it is still clean, and there are always people who clean it at all times.

Of course, this kind of rags and old age is not the special place in Huairen County. It is generally the case in the whole world. The so-called "iron officials who have flowing water in the yamen" are appointed by officials every six years and every nine years. This yamen is a temporary place and is not worth spending money and grain construction. Moreover, since the founding of the country, there are still some conventions and superstitions. For example, if you want to repair the yamen, it means that the yamen is corrupt, and if you want to repair the yamen, you will not have the luck of being promoted, etc.

Chang Kai walked very quickly, greeting his colleagues along the way, nodding to the greetings of the deputy and white servants. He did not enter the dilapidated yamen main hall, but turned around the gate and turned into a low room next to it. They were all blue brick houses, with two grid doors, and a sill window on the upper part. This format is decent in the homes of ordinary people, but it is very shabby to put it in the homes of wealthy people. However, in the yamen, it is common to have dilapidated buildings, and it is like this everywhere.

However, this time the low and dilapidated rooms are the center of the entire county government - the Six Rooms. The court has the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works. Correspondingly, all the yamen in prefectures, prefectures, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen, the yamen and the workhouse. The six departments of the court are the major national affairs, and the six houses in the local government are specific and minor affairs.

The county magistrate, the auxiliary magistrate, the chief clerk, and the clerk of the county government are all officials, and they are unified and managed by the Ministry of Personnel. They are all from other places to serve as officials. They serve every few years and have a variety of official positions. It is difficult to have a specific understanding of local government affairs. The clerks of the six rooms are all locals, and they have been engaged in this industry for generations. After so many years, they have been familiar with government affairs and huge connections. Therefore, these people are the ones who really make the decision in local prefectures, prefectures and counties. The officials who have passed the imperial examination have to rely on the officials to do their work.

Chang Kai is in the fast-track team and the one who deals the most on weekdays is the torture room, but he did not enter the torture room today and went directly into the household house. The county's household house manager is responsible for levying summer taxes and autumn grains, labor labor service, and miscellaneous taxation. The county's finances are all in the hands of the household house, and the department in charge of the money bags.

Although there is a county's finance and taxation here, the layout is very ragged. The floor is not even bricks, and the furniture used is still old and ragged. The only neat thing is the large wooden cabinets that place documents and contracts, and at least paint is applied. Many people sit at the wooden table, either making plans or taking notes, while more people are drinking tea and chatting.

Although there were not many people in the households who were wearing new clothes, Chang Kai knew them well. Most of the people in this house were dignified and the middle-aged man sitting in the center was even richer. Although he sat on the dilapidated table and stool, the teapot and tea cups he used to drink tea, the top-notch products from Jiangnan were famous teas from Nanzhili, and even the magistrate might not be able to enjoy it.

When he saw Chang Kai coming in, most of them just glanced at him. A few familiar nodded and greeted him. The clerk in the Sixth Room thought he was a decent person wearing a long gown. He never looked down on the roles of the third yamen runners. Chang Kai didn't care about this. He had a smile on his face and briskly steps. His waist was half bent and he ran to the middle-aged man sitting in the middle, bowed and greeted, "Jin Guannian, Chang Kai greeted you."

The person in charge of each house in the six houses of the yamen is called "Jingcheng", and the deputy is "Guan Nian". The household house manager's surname is Jin Liang, and everyone respects the position. As for this "congratulations" is originally a military ritual, and military officers in the garrison greet the superiors who have a small rank difference, because Datong was originally a military town, and it has become a common etiquette and custom over time.

To Chang Kai's attentiveness, the Jin Guannian didn't even raise his eyelids, casually flipped through the account books on the table and said calmly: "It's Chang Kai, is there anything wrong?"

Jin Guannian was reserved and indifferent, but Chang Kai was not dissatisfied at all. The status of both sides was too far apart. It was already polite to be able to call out a name and ask what was wrong. Chang Kai glanced at the house. Many people seemed to be settled and drinking tea, but they deliberately or unintentionally turned to this side. They all wanted to hear what he was talking about. In the six-bedroom and three-bedroom yard in the county government, there would naturally be open and secret struggles. Knowing more information can be used as favors and bargaining chips even if you can't use it. Besides, the fast-paced class constable came to find a person who was in charge of the household management. These two sides are usually irrelevant.

Chang Kai has been in such a long time and is certainly not vague. He ignores Jin Guannian's frown and dissatisfied. He leans into the other party's ear and whispers a few words. This makes the clerks in the household office even more curious. He also sees the surprised flashing across Jin Guannian's face.

After whispering, Jin Guannian had already looked as usual. He swept the circle with a calm face, and the civil servants who were curiously looking down.

"It's a good day today. Lao Chang, please accompany me out for a walk." Jin Guannian stood up and said. The title of "Lao Chang" made Chang Kai smile and his waist bent a lot.

The two of them walked out of the house slowly. As soon as they left, the house was no longer so quiet. Several civil servants stood up directly from their seats, went out and looked around for a few times before leaving quickly.

Jin Guannian and Chang Kai walked in the county government one after another. People kept saying hello on the road. Jin Guannian nodded lightly. Only one or two people would make him a little more attentive. When others saw Chang Kai, they would nod and greet him, and just want to go over.

After leaving the yamen, he walked west for a distance and became much more secluded. Jin Guannian turned to look at Chang Kai and said, "Old Chang, your father was extremely sick when you were fifteen years old. Your two uncles were about to take the position of this fast class. At that time, I was working as a clerk in the official room. When Lao Jingcheng and Lao Guannian talked about this, Lao Jingcheng wanted to give the position to your second uncle. I also took the courage to say a few words to you, which made Lao Jingcheng very unhappy."

Chang Kai knew that the cause and effect of the past was that the head of the fast-pang was saved by his father. He asked Master Jing for this matter and then fell on him. It had nothing to do with Jin Guannian, but he had to admit it when he mentioned this favor. After all, this was to make a difference to bring the two closer together.

After working in the yamen for a long time, a fool will become smart. Chang Kai is already full of gratitude and tears. He will continue to pay homage to the gift. Jin Guannian naturally knows and is tactful to support people.

"Old Chang, there is no need to talk about the past. Today you talk about the boy who turned stones into gold. Does anyone know about this matter besides me?"

"Second Master, I'm a little girl who goes into the city. I'm here to find me again today. He doesn't recognize the others in the yamen, and others don't know."

Guan Nian is the second seat of the sixth house, and it is a rule to call "Second Master". After hearing Chang Kai's answer, Jin Guan Nian nodded and took a step forward and said, "You fast class has a lot of dealing with the three and nine schools. I also have a few people who need to use it. Why not just treat the people directly. We will add the wealth in their hands. How about this?"

Chang Kai was stunned. Jin Guannian continued to ponder, "I knew about taking out dozens of taels to buy a house yesterday. I didn't care much at that time. Today I heard you say they want to receive goods. Thinking about the business of Dachuanxing and Hebian New Village, I'm afraid these half-year-old boys came out with a few thousand taels. Why leave this wealth to others?"

Households used money and food on weekdays and secretly deducted them to swallow them up. They were very sensitive to the relationship between such wealth. Although Zhu Da didn't spend much money, it gave Jin Guannian a guess. This outrageous guess was not the water without a source. The business of Dachuanxing and Hebian New Village was too great. It was passed on by word of mouth, and the truth was very exaggerated.

Chang Kai never thought of thousands of taels of silver, but what Jin Liang and Jinguan Nian said was very reasonable. Dozens and hundreds of taels are not worth taking too much risk. But even if you don’t take all of them, you can make the whole family rich and have no worries for generations, which is worth taking risks.

This thought flashed in Chang Kai's mind, and then he remembered the moment when he was pressed by Zhu Da's dagger on the city gate suspension bridge. The half-sized man, who was as strong as an adult, had a smile on his face, but said the threat of killing people. Next, he found his house. Chang Kai even thought of Zhou Qingyun even more. He didn't speak much, looked at people with a squint, and then thought about it. This was the same look as the butcher where to cut his flesh.

The more Chang Kai thought about it, the more he thought that the first time he came to Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, and the second time he took someone else.

"Old Chang, have you taken advantage of this matter? Comparing small money and big money, you have to be clear about it!" Seeing Chang Kai's silence, the Jinguan Nian reminded in silence.

"Guan Nian, there is someone behind this kid!" Chang Kai replied subconsciously.

"Inspector Zheng was destroyed this time, and Qin Chuan had a falling out with the Yang family again. What is he worthy of a scholar? The scholars on the ground are still scholars until they die." Jin Liang knew more than Chang Kai. As for the words "A scholar is a scholar until they die", it is said that scholars in Huairen County and Datong Zuowei did not pass the imperial examination, which is considered to be a decline in literary style.

Although the scholar was fame and fortune, he could not fight against the county government and officials. If he really wanted to take ruthless measures, it was not that he could not eliminate his fame. Qin Xiucai was originally afraid of everyone, but that he was supported by the Yang family of the Wu family. Later, he collaborated with Zheng Xunzheng. At that time, his fame and talent were valuable. Now both of them were not worthy of them. Who cares about his identity as a scholar and gives the most face? If people say that the world respected scholars, they were just afraid that they would go further in the road of fame and science and technology, but there was never a precedent here. He was a scholar all his life, so what else should I care about?
