Chapter 797 Uninvited Guest

Yang Zhicheng and his wife, who originally wanted to make Wang Shiyuan a son-in-law, heard this and it was like thunder.

The couple stood there for a long time without any response.

Yang Qian, who was sitting aside, was also shocked, and tears flowed down her face.

Although Yang Qian also loves Wang Shiyuan deeply, her ideas are not quite the same as her parents.

Although Wang Shiyuan is a poor orphan, such a young child is well-read in poetry and books. She feels that Wang Shiyuan's previous identity should not be simple.

Good men are determined by all directions. People like Wang Shiyuan should not stay on the construction site for a long time.

So she wiped her tears, endured the sadness of being about to part and said:

"Father and mother, my younger brother are ambitious. We are not suitable for him. It will delay him over time. If he really wants to leave, let him go!"

Yang looked at his daughter in surprise:

"Qian'er, Shiyuan will definitely go and I don't know when we will meet again. Do you want him to leave?"

Yang Qian's pretty face turned red:

"Mom, we can't delay him. As long as Shi Yuan has a future, it's enough..."

Wang Shiyuan looked at this beautiful and understanding sister with gratitude.

He was also very reluctant to leave. He knew that he might not be able to see Yang Qian again after he had gone.

"Don't worry, sister, no matter when, Shiyuan will never forget you and your uncles and aunts."

Yang Zhicheng and his wife looked at each other, and the wife looked at Wang Shiyuan kindly and said:

"Shiyuan! Auntie wants to entrust Qian'er to you, but I wonder what you think?"

"this……"

Although Wang Shiyuan likes the beautiful young lady very much, he never expected that his wife would be so direct.

So Wang Shiyuan looked at Yang Qian next to him. Yang Qian's pretty face turned red, and she stood up shyly and ran back to her boudoir.

To be honest, Wang Shiyuan really wanted to agree to Yang Zhicheng and his wife, but he knew that he could not make the decision.

But he could not directly refuse Yang Qian and Yang Zhicheng, so he made up his mind to take Yang Qian back to the capital after he returned.

"Uncle and Auntie, Shiyuan alone cannot decide the lifelong affairs. Shiyuan has a relative in the capital. After Shiyuan returns, he will inform you of the details and will definitely bring Qian'er's sister back."

Yang Zhicheng and his wife were shocked:

"What? Do you have relatives in the capital? Why have we never heard you talk about it?"

"I'm sorry uncle and aunt. I have relatives at home. I was dispersed at that time. Shiyuan never went to find him, so he never mentioned it."

The couple nodded and said in unison:

"Oh, that's the best. I hope you will reunite soon. Don't forget us then. Don't rush back to fight. Stay here for a few days!"

Before Wang Shiyuan could agree, someone suddenly knocked on the gate outside the courtyard.

"Bang bang..."

It's already evening now, who else can come to the Yang family?

Yang Zhicheng got up and went to open the gate of the courtyard. He was stunned at the time and saw more than a dozen people standing in front of the door carrying several boxes.

Yang Zhicheng said:

"Who are you? Have you gone to the wrong place?"

I saw that the person in the head was a middle-aged woman who looked like a matchmaker in terms of dress.

Seeing Yang Zhicheng open the door, the matchmaker-like woman immediately stepped forward and said, "A thousand blessings:

"Hehe, we didn't go through the wrong door. Congratulations to Boss Yang, a noble man has taken a fancy to your daughter, carry it in!"

Before Yang Zhicheng could speak, more than a dozen people had already carried several boxes into Yang's house.

Yang looked at these people and was also confused at the time. For some reason, she came back so many people.

Only when these people put the things into the room did Yang Zhicheng react.

"Matchmaker? Are they here to match the matchmaker for their daughter Yang Qian? But Qian'er has already betrothed to Wang Shiyuan..."

"Congratulations to Boss Yang, our pavilion chief Li Jun, for his love for your Yang Qian, and I was ordered to come and talk to the media."

In ancient times, most people didn’t know what kind of official he was.

In fact, the first time the pavilion chief was born during the Warring States Period.

At that time, countries in the Warring States period often set up pavilions in border areas and appointed pavilion chiefs to take on defensive duties.

After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, the power of the pavilion chief was more refined. The folk grassroots of the Qin Dynasty included "township", "li" and "table" below the "county".

Among them, "Qingshan" and "li" are local administrative agencies that manage rural tax household registration.

"Tail" is different. If the two "tails" are separated by ten miles, a "tail chief" must be established to manage local public security.

In fact, at that time, the administrative agency at the "township" level also had the position of "travel" responsible for public security.

However, the scope of work of the "Kail Head" is different. In addition to managing public security, the "Kail Head" also needs to manage the local postal and communication system and receive personnel from time to time.

Unlike the rural administrative agencies such as "village" and "li", "pavilion chiefs" were spread all over the city and rural areas at that time.

The twenty-four streets and twelve city gates in Kaifeng City each have pavilion chiefs.

In addition to managing public security, we also need to review the business trips and travel.

The pavilion was not originally a military unit, but a military unit, but it was more like an outpost, but not used to station troops.

Officials at the Pavilion level have not been included in the state-owned officials. They are considered to be a temporary official to maintain local security and do not enjoy national treatment.

Although it is not a national organization, does it belong to a local organization?

However, it does not belong to the local two-level officials and county magistrates (counsels), and they have the power to establish their ranks.

For example, the chief clerks in local governments, Cao Guan, etc. do not belong to the national organization, and they are considered to be based on local finance.

However, the scope of the pavilion is too small (usually ten miles), and locals are generally responsible for it, so the local finance does not care.

It seems that this pavilion chief is someone whom grandma doesn’t love and uncle doesn’t kiss him.

So what's the use of setting up him? In fact, the pavilion chief still has some little power because the government has to rely on these pavilion chiefs to deal with civil issues at the grassroots level.

Therefore, relying on this power, they can also obtain income outside the system, which is better than the people.

Liu Bang, the Emperor Taizu of Han, once served as the head of the Sishui Pavilion. Many people think that the pavilion is a village, or the head of the pavilion is an official like the director of the management and security.

Actually, it is not. The Pavilion is a military unit and he cannot manage civil affairs.

What can Liu Bang manage? In fact, if you have the ability, you can manage anything if you hang the name of the pavilion chief.

The official system is always determined by the previous dynasty and always lags behind the development of the times. It cannot be regarded as the scope of management too seriously, nor can it be compared with today's official system.

It’s just about taking care of everything. In fact, if you can control it, you can say that you don’t have the right.

But today the pavilion chief is different. He is the brother-in-law of Zhang Huli, the co-minister of Kaifeng Prefecture.

The head of the little pavilion usually manages more things than the county magistrate. To be more precise, he is meddling with other people's business by relying on his power, and the county magistrate dares not offend him.

Tongzhi, the title of an official in the Ming Dynasty.

Tongzhi was the deputy chief of the prefect, the fifth rank, and was appointed according to the matter. Each mansion had one or two people, but there was no fixed number.

Tongzhi is responsible for the division of local salt, grain, catching and stealing, river defense, sea border, river engineering, water conservancy, clean up military registration, pacifying and pacifying civilians and other affairs. Tongzhi Office Office is called the "Director".

Another deputy magistrate is called the prefectural Tongzhi. He is from the sixth rank and has no fixed personnel and is in charge of all affairs in the prefecture.

Although Yang Zhicheng didn't know much, he still knew a little about the name of this pavilion.
