In the early morning, the sky was still dark, and the clouds and mist made the morning light covered tightly. Only the crowing sound of the rooster made people realize that at this time... it was dawn.

At Feiyu Peak, countless supplies had been moved down a few days ago, and large trucks were waiting at the mountain gate.

Chen Kaizhi and his soldiers went down the mountain on this dark morning in the sky. Taking advantage of the cold streets on this street, they rushed all the way to Longmen Ferry.

Here, dozens of horse boats were waiting, and the soldiers of the Warriors' camp board got on the boat one after another. Chen Kaizhi had already stood on the side of the boat, facing the first dawn that overflowed in the early morning, and in this gentle breeze, he looked at the rippling water surface in the canal.

It's finally about to set sail.

This time, the future is somewhat unpredictable, but Chen Kaizhi knew that he had no choice.

If you want to blame, just blame the brother from the Ministry of Personnel.

If this guy hadn't pulled himself into the water, then... well, it must have been him.

After walking all the way, I finally arrived at Jinan Prefecture.

This Jinan Prefecture is the provincial capital of Shandong, but Chen Kaizhi did not enter the prefecture city because the governor of Jibei had nothing to do with the prefecture city of Jinan. He led the vast team directly to Zhangqiu.

Zhangqiu is a county, not far from Jinan. Although it belongs to Jinan Prefecture, there are county magistrates of Jinan Prefecture, but at the same time, there are many government offices.

Chen Kaizhi brought a mighty army into the city. He came to greet him by the prefect of Jibei, as well as the county magistrates of Boyang, Lu County, Gucheng, Luoyin, Zhuxian, Pingyuan and other counties, as well as the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture, as well as the counties of Qingzhou Prefecture, as well as the county magistrates of Dengzhou Prefecture and the counties under his command.

Later, there were co-magistrates, general magistrates, inspectors from the Water and Land Inspection Department, school officials from the governments, county teachers, assistant officials from various counties, such as county magistrates, chief clerks, etc.

Looking at the vast team, there were probably no less than 300 people, Chen Kai couldn't help but be shocked. Even if he didn't care about the civil servants, the officers and soldiers under the inspection, these three or four hundred officials were enough to match the Warriors' camp.

As soon as Chen Kaizhi's horse arrived, there were Li Dongsheng, the prefect of Jibei, Wang Changming, the prefect of Qingzhou, and Chen Rang, the prefect of Dengzhou, who came to see the ceremony quickly.

Chen Kai got off his horse, and Li Dongsheng said, "Governor, this is Zhangqiu. Each yamen temporarily lives in the headquarters. The Governor comes far away, but he is afraid that he will be exhausted. Please go to the city to rest first."

Chen Kaizhidao: "Are the governments of all prefectures and counties here?"

"Everyone is there, one is not one." Li Dongsheng seemed to be secretly observing Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but sigh and couldn't help but quip: "It's true that when you enter a city, your subordinates are crowded together. It's convenient to find someone to ask questions. But what do you do on your own? Or is it just unemployed?"

Li Dong said angrily: "Why did the governor say this? We are busy with official duties and dare not neglect it. Let's talk about the prefect of Jibei. A few days ago, a officials in charge of the custody of the head of the head did not rest for several days. They suddenly vomited blood. The officials personally submitted the court to the court, wanting to ask the court to commend it."

When Chen Kaizhi was in the capital, he knew that they were busy with official duties, but... someone actually vomited blood... Damn, it's so amazing...

While walking, he walked into the city with Li Dongzheng and couldn't help but say, "How many civil servants are there in the mansion?"

Li Dongzheng asked respectfully: "Did the governor talk about the prefect's office or does it cover the counties?"

Li Dongzheng was still observing Chen Kaizhi in secret. In the past, there were also royal families who came to control Jibei, but over the past few decades, there were no royal families who were willing to come here. Chen Kaizhi was the first one, and he was quite curious about Chen Kaizhi.

Chen Kaizhi's way: "Of course it is the prefect of Jibei."

Li Dong said seriously: "There are ninety-five civil servants in each room in the mansion. In addition, there are also two hundred and twenty-one servants in the family."

Damn... Chen Kaizhi was shocked directly. This is the standard configuration of the Great Chen Prefect's Office. No one is missing. In this way, there are still people who are busy with copywriting and vomit blood...

Obviously, this prefect Li is not a person who eats a good meal. An ordinary prefect really cannot know everything in his territory.

Can……

Chen Kaizhi still found it strange. There were a small Zhangqiu County, three prefecture yamen, several water and land inspection departments, more than twenty county yamen, more than twenty county schools, and several various yamen. Compared with other prefecture yamen, there were many civil servants and servants in the prefecture yamen. Some people were so tired that they vomited blood.

Chen Kaizhi was shocked and said calmly: "Let's go to the prefect's office and sit down."

"Okay, Governor, please." Li Dongzheng looked calm and made a gesture of inviting him.

Chen Kaizhi led the way, but unfortunately the Warriors Camp behind him could not keep up, because behind him, there was no place for the Warriors Camp to stand, and all of them were officials of various official clothes.

Chen Kaizhi ordered people to settle in the Warriors' Camp. This was not a problem, because there were several water and land inspection departments here. What does the water and land inspection departments do, which is equivalent to local government soldiers, so there are also a few large camps and water camps here.

Thinking of the fact that there are many military camps here, Chen Kaizhi finally felt a little comforted.

He followed Li Dongzheng all the way to the prefect of Jibei Prefecture. This office was no different from the prefecture of other places. There were several gatekeepers in front of the gate. When they saw Chen Kaizhi, they quickly saluted. In order to prevent them from "cheating", Chen Kaizhi quickly stepped in and went straight to the magistrate hall in the prefect's office.

There are three rooms in the judging hall, namely Water Conservancy, Criminal Prison, Household Administration, Chen Kaizhi entered the water conservancy room. When he saw that there were seven or eight clerks inside, some were writing at the desk, some seemed to be calculating money and grain, holding an abacus in his hand, and there were also old officials, looking down at the map, and whispering to the minor officials that this was an absolutely lively labor scene, and everyone performed their own duties.

Even... Perhaps because the public housing was stuffy, many people were already sweating like rain, and drops of sweat fell on the desk. But they didn't bother to wipe it, and they still bent over the document. Some people's eyes were covered with blood. I think... they were exhausted.

When they realized that someone was coming, they all looked up at the visitor in surprise, so they put down their abacus or put down their pens to come and greet them.

Chen Kaizhi laughed dryly and said to Li Dongzheng: "Master Li, it seems that everyone is very busy."

Li Dong was solemn and said loudly: "Jibei Prefecture will never raise a idle person!"

Chen Kaizhi actually believed it because Chen Kaizhi touched his conscience and said that he had not seen a single idle person so far.

At this time, Li Dongzheng said again: "Since the Xiaguan ruled Jibei Prefecture, he has made great achievements in governing officials. He has laid off several redundant officials. All the officials under him have devoted themselves to the king's politics!"

"Has redundant staff been removed?" Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but be stunned. He found that coming here was simply a journey of exploration and discovery.

Li Dongzheng nodded and said as if he was aware of it: "Yes, when the lower-ranking officials took office, they found that the biggest problem of Jibei Prefecture was that there were too many redundant staff. Didn't the subordinate officials say that there were 95 civil servants in the mansion? In fact, at that time, there were 172 civil servants, many of whom were known as civil servants, but they were not well-known. The subordinate officials were ordered by the court to govern the prefect of Jibei. How could they allow these big rats? They had to make drastic moves and cut off all the old and weak, and they would never allow them to have a good meal here."

Chen Kaizhi sighed and couldn't help but say, "It's a good job."

"Where is it?" Li Dongzheng sighed: "This is just a job that the lower officials should do."

I don’t know which assistant official in Jibei Prefecture was, and said frantically: “Li Futai is famous for governing the place. Last year, the Ministry of Personnel praised Li Futai for it. Everyone praised Li Futai as a capable official and a good official.”

Chen Kaizhi was a little stunned. Damn, when he was a Hanlin last year, he had never received a commendation from the Ministry of Personnel. The evaluation was just a good one. If you want to be commended, you not only have to be rated as excellent, but also need to find a few typical examples from these outstanding officials. This difficulty is not only difficult, but it is not easy.

It's so full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Chen Kaizhi's biggest regret is that he has never received any commendation from the Ministry of Personnel in the Hanlin Academy and has now become a royal family. This regret is intentionally impossible to make up for in his life. Just like the person who collects medals, there is always one missing, so he has a long regret.

Chen Kaizhi came out of the water conservancy room in the Tongzong Hall and continued to walk to the main hall of the prefect's yamen.

Here, he and the officials sat down one after another, but their thoughts were very complicated and they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Inspection work? People are very serious about their work! Deploy the work? It seems... there is really nothing to arrange. For example, we must strictly open up private salt dealers, uh... Chen Kaizhi believes that in a small Zhangqiu City, there will definitely be several thieves selling private salt, but there are thousands of officials here, and there are people in every prefecture and county. It seems that it is really not a job for Jibei Prefecture to order the county below to take care of it. Besides, isn't there a Zhangqiu County Magistrate here?

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "Master Li is a very simple person."

This is not a praising him, because Chen Kaizhi looked at the main hall, which was very simple and simple. Except for Chen Kaizhi who didn't know what the prefect of Jibei and his colleagues were busy with, Prefect Li was simply impeccable.

Li Dongzheng shook his head lightly and said, "Eat the king's fortune and loyalty to the king, this is the right thing to do, and the governor praised it."

"Then..." Chen Kaizhi finally asked his most relevant words: "Where is the Northern Yan Army?"

"It's on the other side." Li Dongzheng said: "When you leave Zhangqiu City, there is a river. On the other side of the river is the fake Zhangqiu County of the people of Beiyan."

Actually... Zhangqiu County is not complete, one is real. Zhangqiu, is it... there is also a fake. Zhangqiu? In other words, the place where you are is only half of the county...
Chapter completed!
