115 Don't tremble, squires, I am the master of the sky!(1/2)
All the minor officials, soldiers, yamen runners, villagers and people in Danyang County were submissive to the reputation and momentum of Xiaohunhou, and bowed their heads to greet him, daring not to speak.
Only Li Gannian is used to it.
He raised his head and chest, stepped forward, and bowed and reported: "Mr. County Magistrate, all officials of Danyang County, yamen runners, three elders from each township, pavilion chief, and the main hall of the village. Three hundred young and strong people are here to welcome the Grand Priest. Please inspect the County Magistrate!"
But I saw a young and handsome young county magistrate who was fair-skinned and pampered, stepping out of the carriage.
It was Xiaohunhou, who was famous in Jinling City, who was the new magistrate of Danyang County.
When the old county magistrate saw the little marquis, he suddenly felt oppressive as if the superiors came to inspect and inspect.
He couldn't help but bowed, showed a flattering smile, and said to the direction of the carriage: "Prince Li Fu, please bow to the princess, and come to the little marquis!
The officials had already prepared the documents, money and grain accounts, and warehouse keys to the little marquis came to hand over and counted them."
Danyang County is the fief of Princess Li Yu.
But this is a "false seal".
Li Yu himself had no right to control it, so he could only be managed by the imperial officials.
The many kings and princes of the Great Chu Dynasty had empty titles, and only the princes and kings of the Xiang family were "real titles". The princes and princes personally took charge of their own fiefdoms and could hold troops and respect them.
Li Fu, the county magistrate, was an official appointed by the court.
However, the money, grain, taxes and taxes collected from Danyang County were all included in the account of Princess Danyang.
The magistrate of Danyang County is actually equivalent to the steward of Princess Danyang in his fiefdom. He was appointed by the court, but he was also responsible to the princess.
Chu Tianxiu has now become the magistrate of Danyang County, the little marquis, and the husband of Princess Danyang.
He and the princess are the real masters of Danyang County.
Princess Danyang has temporarily changed from a false seal to a real seal. As long as Xiaohunhou is not transferred, the couple will have the final say in everything in Danyang County.
This is also the only exception to the Great Chu Dynasty in recent decades.
Of course, the poor land in a mere county, with 3,000 households, only 100 soldiers guarding the city, and only 100 runners in the county government, so the court would not care too much.
Li Fu claimed to be a subordinate, and was extremely humble, so there was nothing wrong with this.
"Well! Just count the accounts and let the county magistrate Li Gannian check the money and food."
Chu Tianxiu said: "I don't know if the old county magistrate will be transferred after the handover?"
The old county magistrate smiled bitterly, "The senior official is already fifty or sixty years old, and he is old and has no hope of promotion. He should return to his hometown to enjoy his old age. He has retired to the court and returned to his hometown with the court's grace. After the handover, he will clean up and go back to his hometown in ten days."
Chu Tianxiu nodded lightly, and with a "majestic" look, he swept over the county officials, soldiers, yamen runners, the three elders of each township and hundreds of strong people.
The county magistrate in the county town plucked up his courage and said, "County magistrate Zhao Hu, leads the soldiers of Danyang County to meet the county magistrate and the princess!"
Only the county magistrate Zhao Hu was wearing a worn leather armor and a big knife on his waist.
The 100 soldiers guarding the city were all crooked, holding broken spears in their hands, without armor, only wearing military uniforms, stumbled their heads, and were squinting, standing without standing, which was obviously a lack of military equipment.
It can also resist the 20 or 30 small bandits and bandits.
If hundreds of large bandits appeared, these soldiers would probably be ruined.
"District official Jiang Gang, please see the county magistrate, please see the princess."
Dian Lie and hundreds of yamen runners, each with a slick look on his face, dodging his eyes left and right, and smiling flatteringly.
As for the villagers, pavilions, and the main men, they were all gentry and landlords from each township, so there was no need to say much.
The so-called strong people are a group of farmers in their twenties and thirties who often work in the fields. They are quite strong in linen and have some strength in their hands.
However, this is already one of the best "elite" in Danyang County.
Chu Tianxiu looked at them and knew the family background of Danyang County and was very disappointed.
well!
A group of crooked men and jujubes in Danyang County, a group of short men were among the top ones. The more than ten royal guards he brought could defeat all the soldiers and yamen runners.
But he still has to rely on this group of people to manage Danyang County.
"Dear county officials, gentry, elders, I think you have heard of my reputation as a young marquis. Many people slandered my reputation and said that I was an extravagant playboy. This is all slander, and you don't believe a word.
Actually, I never take every needle and thread from the people, and I especially care for the people.
Our county magistrate came to Danyang County to take office, and was to be the master of Qingtian and lead you to become rich! We have to do ten days of work a day. We strive to make ten years of wealth within one year.
Listen to the words of this county magistrate, just follow this county magistrate!
Don’t ask what the county magistrate can do for you, think more about what you can do for this county magistrate. If you do more, the county magistrate will naturally see it and give you a heavy reward."
Chu Tianxiu looked kind and kind, and preached his policy to everyone in the county.
As for whether they can understand it, it doesn't matter.
As long as you are willing to work.
“…”
"It's... the county magistrate!"
When the county officials and fellow villagers heard this, they looked at each other, their faces pale as snow, and their calves were trembling and cramps.
Yes, the county magistrate does not take the common people one needle and one thread.
But, you are a big eater!
Even the Prince Ping’s Mansion dared to eat, but he became a son-in-law from the door. Even the Shen Mansion in Jinling dared to take it. It is said that he borrowed 100,000 taels of silver in one breath, but he did not pay back half of it.
The water in Jinling City is too deep, and it cannot be destroyed by Xiao Hunhou. It can be seen that our county magistrate is well-known and has no one to cure it!
In Danyang County, there are a group of grasshoppers with small arms and calves.
Even the rich squire is not a little bit of oil and water, and a creaking bite is not enough to fill the gap between the teeth.
How can I eat Xiaohunhou?
Judging from Xiao Hunhou's tone, he actually had to do ten days a day and earn ten years of wealth in a year!
Listen, is this still what people say?
This clearly requires the 3,000 households in Danyang County to squeeze out the three thousand households to feed Xiaohunhou.
This is the number one playboy in Jinling, Xiaohunhou!
All the county officials and gentry were panicked, their hands and feet were weak, and their faces were depressed, feeling that the sky in Danyang County was dark.
...
Li Yu was in the carriage, looking at the terrified expressions of the county officials, yamen runners, and fellow villagers.
She suddenly understood why her husband wanted everyone from the county government to go out of the city to welcome the arrival of the new county magistrate.
It seems that this move is too aggressive.
But these county officials are all old men who have been doing decades.
When the new county magistrate is just coming, they will definitely be dissatisfied and dissatisfied with their own majesty, and they will be passive and negligent in their work, and even disobey orders.
If the county magistrate is a little softer.
It is entirely possible that these treacherous officials from the county town join forces to bully the county magistrate and underestimate the county magistrate.
Before the husband arrived, he made a direct warning, which made them afraid of the new county magistrate from the bottom of their hearts.
In this way, the county magistrate can be able to manage the government easily.
...
The sky is getting darker.
It's already afternoon.
Chu Tianxiu briefly delivered a policy speech outside Danyang County, then boarded the luxury carriage again, and took the county officials, soldiers, yamen runners, and fellow villagers back to the county town.
Danyang County is a low earth city with dilapidated gates and walls covered with moss and various grass vines.
Chu Tianxiu was surprised when he first saw Danyang County.
If Jinling City is the world's largest city, the city walls are made of blue bricks, and it is the most prosperous and luxurious place.
Then Danyang County is a large earthen enclosure outside Jinling City.
poverty!
Poor county!
It is indeed a small county town in a remote countryside.
After entering the county town, I naturally went to the county government first.
Chu Tianxiu came to the county government and was shocked when he saw it.
Although this county government is built quite grandly, the outside and inside the door are dilapidated, the roof tiles are all light and leaking, and even a beam is crooked and can only be reinforced with wood, as if it may be poured out at any time. It is simply terrible.
“Why not repair it?”
Chu Tianxiu asked in shock.
