Chapter 330: County lieutenant is also an official

County lieutenant?

In the back garden of the new house, four ladies surrounded Chen Ao, Zhenzhen, Zhou Ruo, and Tang Moer all showed a hint of disapproval. Chun'er didn't know how old the county magistrate was. A trace of longing flashed in her eyes. She now had long hair tied up and a phoenix hairpin, which was less cute and more mature. She was wearing a round-necked long skirt, with a graceful look, but her character was still the same as before, and she was too good to be in a little desireless. Anyway, as long as her husband was an official, she neither understood nor cared about what official he was.

There are about three official officials in a county, one is the county magistrate, the other is the county magistrate, and then the county magistrate. The county magistrate is the assistant magistrate, who controls documents and warehouses. As for the county magistrate, he is in charge of public security. He has a low rank but his responsibilities are important.

Chen Ao felt a little guilty when he saw the three ladies. He couldn't help but think that Cai Jing, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, and Sima Guang were all founded by county magistrates, so they wouldn't be so despised?

Chen Ao emphasized and said, "I'm wrong, it's not the county lieutenant, it's the county lieutenant of Renhe County!"

Zhou Ruo curled his lips: "The county lieutenant of Renhe County is also a county lieutenant." She was born in the Duke's Mansion and met many ministers, so she naturally would not take a county lieutenant seriously.

Chen Ao said: "The county magistrates in Renhe County are different. Madam, think about it. For the same county, Renhe County has a household registration of 100,000. What is the concept of 100,000? In other prefectures, some counties only have one thousand households. The county with more than 10,000 households is a big county. Renhe County is located in Hangzhou and is combined with Qiantang to become Hangzhou Prefecture. Hangzhou's registered population has exceeded 200,000. What is the concept of 200,000 households? One household has five people, and 200,000 households is a million. Madam, the relationship between this county magistrate is very important. For the husband, he is worried that the population is too large and cannot afford such a major relationship. The public security of a county magistrate is more than that of a family along the way."

Zhenzhen said: "I heard that Hangzhou Prefecture is very prosperous, but the population of 200,000 households is a bit scary. In this way, Renhe County has more population than Xijing?"

Chen Aohe nodded and said, "Cities with a population of over 200,000 in the world are just Beijing and Hangzhou. Which one do you think is the more household registration in Xijing than Hangzhou?"

Chen Ao deliberately exaggerated Renhe County to teach his wife not to underestimate this county lieutenant. Since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, there has never been a single appointment. He started from the grassroots level first. Those who had just entered the court had a great future than those who had been out of the country. That is Gao Qiu, who is now a Taiwei. Before promoting him, Zhao Ji also asked him to go to the border army to gilt.

Therefore, Chen Ao must leave this time. Not only did he want to be a county magistrate, but he also wanted to achieve some political achievements. He just wanted to go to a foreign land. He felt a little uncomfortable. After staying in Bianjing City for a long time, there were too many things worth nostalgic about and his mood was a little depressed.

After explaining to his wife, he asked Liu Sheng to get some clothes. Chen Ao personally rode his horse to the Duke Qiguo Mansion to find Zhou Zheng, and revealed the appointment of the court. Zhou Zheng carefully analyzed for him: "You don't have to worry about this trip. You will be promoted soon. But you should be careful. One of you is a county magistrate and the other is a county magistrate. Only by pressing the one on the one on the other can you stand out. Your Majesty makes such arrangements, I'm afraid you will have to take this Zhou Qing to take the exam for you. You should do it yourself!"

As he said, he said, "This trip to Hangzhou, I will be back to the court in a short time, so there is no need to take my family. I will choose a few family members to go with you. It is more convenient along the way. You can decide on other things yourself."

Chen Ao thought for a while and said, "What father-in-law meant is that Zhou Qing went to Renhe County but Cai Jing?"

Zhou Zheng laughed and said, "The most important thing about Cai Jing is to resume at the right time, so why do you need to cause these right and wrong? Zhou Qing recognized the thief as his father, shameless and followed Cai Jing's path. Cai Jing ran for him, so his Majesty naturally could not refute his face. However, the appointment and removal matters were all controlled by Your Majesty. As for what his Majesty was going on, it is unknown."

Chen Ao gritted his teeth and said, "I feel uncomfortable when I see this Zhou Qing."

Zhou Zheng refused to comment and suddenly said, "There are no acquaintances in the Duke's Mansion in Hangzhou and cannot take care of you. Perhaps Eunuch Yang and Lord Tang will arrange everything for you."

Chen Ao nodded and said, "Then I'll go to Tang Mansion now."

After leaving the Duke's Mansion, he arrived at the Tang family all the way. When Mrs. Tang saw him, she said with a smile: "Why didn't I bring Mo'er with me? I miss you very much!"

Chen Ao said: "If my mother-in-law wants Mole, it won't matter if she moves there for a year or two."

Mrs. Tang smiled: "I want to live in a small place, but the dead ghost refused to say that there is no reason to live in my son-in-law's house. Humph, he deserves to be poor in his life, and he is just rational and reasonable all day long. Can this be finished?"

Chen Ao couldn't help but smile: "Did your father-in-law quarrel with you again?"

Mrs. Tang suddenly felt a little embarrassed to say this in front of her son-in-law, so she whispered: "It's just a quarrel."

Chen Ao said: "My mother-in-law will move to the mansion in a while. Anyway, I have to take up my post in Hangzhou. Moer and the others are very bored there, and it will be more lively with their mother-in-law."

Mrs. Tang looked at Chen Ao in surprise and said, "Why don't you bring your family?"

Chen Ao said: "It will take two months to travel back and forth along the way, and I don't know when I will return to the court again. Besides, it is always inconvenient for so many female family members to travel."

Mrs. Tang nodded, Chen Ao said it was true. In this era, there were many inconveniences for women to catch up, so apart from some necessary things, most of them could be avoided, not to mention that the road is not peaceful now, and it would not be fun if something happened halfway through.

Mrs. Tang said, "When you leave, I'll bake some cooked biscuits and meat for you to take them on the road. That dead ghost came to Luzhou to take his post and ate my cooked biscuits and dried meat."

Chen Ao responded and said, "Is my father-in-law at home?"

Tang Fu*** shouted: "Dear, your son-in-law is here, why are you hiding in the house?"

In fact, the Tang family's house is not big. Tang Yan had heard about Chen Ao and Mrs. Tang outside, but he thought that he was an elder after all, so how could he be so big or small? It would be better to be a little arrogant. Unexpectedly, when Mrs. Tang called out, Tang Yan was ashamed and ashamed, and hurriedly said, "Is it Chen Ao? Come in."

Chen Ao hurried in, saluted, and called out father-in-law.

Tang Yan coughed, nodded and said, "I just heard you say that the Ministry of Personnel has issued an appointment?"

Chen Ao said: "It's the county magistrate of Renhe County."

Tang Yanxi said: "I know how many people can't even reach this dream. It's great if you have such luck." Then he said: "Speaking of this, I have many students in Hangzhou. I will write a few letters to you in a few days. If you have free time, go and visit me."

Chen Ao did not refuse. No matter in any era, what officials talked about is relationships, classmates, and in the same year, these are all means to build relationships. If you are too arrogant, you will seem to be self-admiring.

Tang Yan asked him again what books he was reading recently. Chen Ao only said that he had written a few classics. Tang Yan shook his head: "Now he has an official position. Although the classics are important, he doesn't have to read them all day long. I have some time to read more classics and history, which will be very helpful to you. I also don't have to be too rigid with my colleagues. You should do whatever you want. Your future is promising, and you don't have to learn from me. I am a gentleman who can only suffer a loss."

Tang Yan's words meant Chen Ao sighed, took a few sips of tea, and said goodbye.

It is not far from the Yang Mansion, and I have nothing to do. I went to the Yang Mansion again. Yang Jian was still on duty in the palace. Who doesn’t know the new son-in-law outside? I hurriedly came over to serve him and invited him to have tea. The official family in the mansion was called Yang Tian, ​​who was busy with the son-in-law. The Yang Mansion was no smaller than the Duke’s Mansion. It was a new house. It was only ten years after it was built. It was very grand. After entering the main hall, Chen Ao went to see the calligraphy and paintings mounted on the wall. His father-in-law collected a lot of good things. The inner ministers of the years have not been in vain. He was greedy for what he should be, and he had not left behind. Although this magnificent mansion was suspected of being a nouveau riche, in Shen Ao's eyes, it was like entering a museum. It was the teapot, which was probably a treasure among the treasures.

After drinking a few sips of tea here, I sat for a while and was about to leave, Yang Jian came hurriedly and said with a smile: "I heard from the doorman that Xianxu is here, haha, it's just right, and the family has something to say to you."

The two sat down and Yang Jian said, "This time you and Zhou Qing go to Renhe County to take up your post. You must be careful. Zhou Qing is taken by His Majesty to take the exam for you."

Zhou Zheng had this speculation before, but now, after hearing what Yang Jian said, there was undoubtedly accurate news. Chen Ao deliberately looked surprised and said, "What am I doing in the school exam?"

Yang Jian said, "You don't have to pretend to be confused. You don't know who Zhou Qing is? Your relationship with Cai Jing is well known. The Zajia told you directly. If you don't press Zhou Qing under your feet, Renhe County would rather not go there, but you don't have to be afraid. He will never make any trouble. The Zajia has already given instructions and he dare not come out blatantly. You should also pay attention to other matters. The Zajiajia has already connected the joints in the Hangzhou Bureau. If anyone in Hangzhou is embarrassed, go directly to find the Qiangong of the Zajiajia. No matter how big the matter is, the Zajiajia will take care of you."

Chen Ao was ashamed and said, "I am going to be an official, what can I do?"

Yang Jian thought for a while: "That's right, it's best if you can't go to the office. Also, since you are going to take the post, just take the official boat of the Bureau. You can get there in half a month, so as to save you from fatigue along the way."

Chen Ao said: "I'm afraid I'll go to the post with Cheng Hui and others."

Yang Jian smiled disapprovingly and said, "Then ask Cheng Hui to get on the boat with you, it's just an empty boat to get back."
