Chapter 335: Encountering the power of dissatisfaction

After the delivery of the former Promoter Zhu Zhan, he found an excuse and said he was going to go to Changzhou, so he stopped staying for a long time and said goodbye.

Chen Ao sighed, and from then on, he, as a county magistrate, officially took office; in fact, the establishment of the county magistrate is also very simple, mainly divided into six houses, like the six departments of the court, they are all officials, households, rites, soldiers, punishments, and labour.

The three main officials in this county government are the county magistrates, county magistrates, and county magistrates, and they all have their own main responsibilities. The county magistrates are in charge of the official room and the work room, and they are in charge of the center. The county magistrates are in charge of the ritual room and the household room, and they are in charge of the teaching and the money and grain. As the county magistrate, Chen Ao not only has to be in charge of the punishment room, but also has to be in charge of the military room. Although the three people are divided into primary and secondary, they also perform their duties.

Therefore, the county government is divided into three classes, which refer to the three classes of Zao, Zhuang and Kuai. The soap class is the soap official, in charge of the internal staff, and the county magistrate is in charge of the central government. The Zhuang class and the Kuai class are jointly responsible for the arrest and guards. The Kuai class is under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate, mainly to go to the countryside to urge grain. The Zhuang class is a common security personnel on ordinary streets, and is under the responsibility of Shen Ao.

Chen Ao sorted out the relationship in the yamen, but he didn't find it complicated. Soon after, the two guards and Dutou of the Zhengfang and the Military Office came to see each other.

Chen Ao is their immediate boss. I heard that his boss was in charge, so this rule was inevitable. Ai Si and Du Tou were both the leaders of Chen Ao. These two Ai Si were wearing black long gowns and long laces of Confucian laces. They were obviously scholars. Therefore, when they saw Chen Ao, they called themselves students or backwards. These two were not young, and this title made Chen Ao a little difficult to accept, but they also understood that this was the rule in the yamen, and they should still abide by what they should be followed, and then they asked about their responsibilities.

It turns out that one of the two magistrates is Song Dajiang, who is the magistrate of the magistrate, who is responsible for the case work in the magistrate. In other words, if someone wants to sue, the complaint will first be passed to Song Dajiang. After Song Dajiang puts forward his opinions, Shen Ao will then read it. Those who can undertake this work must be proficient in the laws of the Song Dynasty. After all, the chief officials who came out of the imperial examination only know the Four Books and Five Classics. Not to mention the thick laws of the Song Dynasty, even the format of the complaint is only half-understanding.

Another guard was tall and thin, named Chu Han. His name was very elegant. He was the guard of the military guard and was also in charge of documents, recording the number of people in the registered army, the monthly food and wages and labor service.

Chen Ao did not put on an air of official position in front of them. Since they called themselves students and backwards, they also called them husbands. The two were flattered. I wonder if this new county magistrate did not understand the rules or did he deliberately respect them.

The Ai Shi is considered a civil servant, and as for Dutou, he is naturally a military servant. One of Dutou, Chen Ao has just met him, and the one who stopped him at the door was named Liu Bin, the Dutou of the Zhengfang. The other is the Dutou of the Military Office, named Cao Xian.

Both of them saw the courtesy. Chen Ao said a few words to them, encouraging them to work well, and then said, "Let's all be separated, be busy with official duties first. If you have any private matters, let's talk about it after you have handed over the shift."

Song Dajiang smiled and said, "Sir, the students have raised some money and want to invite the adults to drink a glass of water and drink to welcome them. I will be in Yanyun Restaurant at noon tomorrow. I hope you don't refuse."

Chen Ao smiled and said, "Okay, when you come and call me, I will definitely arrive."

Seeing Chen Ao agreeing, Song Dajiang and others left happily. As soon as they met, it seemed that although this county magistrate was young, he was not a strong man and was still easy to get along with. What these officials feared the most was to meet a boss who was hard to talk to. Seeing Chen Ao so easy to talk to, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Dutou, who was named Liu Bin, did not leave for a long time. Chen Ao raised his eyes and said, "What, does Liu Dutou have something to say?"

Liu Bin hurriedly said: "I offended the county magistrate just now, so I will forgive you."

Unexpectedly, he officially apologized again, Chen Ao waved his hand with a smile: "Didn't I say it? It doesn't matter, I have forgotten this matter. There are many places to rely on you in the future, so you can do it well."

Liu Bin agreed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sir, I have something to say. Just now, Lord Zhu was busy making payments with him because... because..."

Chen Ao remembered that Liu Bin had just shrilled himself, and felt that Zhu Zhan's reaction was a bit abnormal. A former county magistrate saw him coming to take office as if he had been drought and rain for a long time, which was a bit strange. He said, "Tell me."

With Chen Ao's encouragement, Liu Bin smiled bitterly: "Actually, Lord Zhu is in a hurry to make a deal with you because in a few days, those nonsense scholars will be posting."

"Post? What post."

Liu Bin said: "October 13th is the annual Lantern Festival in Xichun Bridge. According to legend, there is a famous prostitute there who fell in love with a scholar. The scholar went to Beijing to take the exam, but a wealthy family wanted to defile the famous prostitute. The prostitute called her lover's name and fell into the river. For this reason, the scholars simply gathered together on this day to commemorate the famous prostitute. The scholars gathered together, so they had to recite books and make pairs, talk about the piano and catch chess, and slowly, this rule was followed."

Liu Bin's mouth was a little dry, paused, and continued to smack his lips: "But later, the Duke of Jing changed the law, especially the imperial examination system. In the past, he used to take poetry, but now he wanted to write classics. It is important to know that Hangzhou's literary style is prosperous, but literati despise the classics. These scholars gathered together, and were naturally a little cynical and looked down on the officials who selected the imperial examination..."

Liu Bin said, looking carefully at Chen Ao, suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. The Lord Shen in front of him was also an official from the imperial examination, so he had to bite the bullet and continue, "So whenever this time, they would come to write a letter of war and ask the county magistrates of Qiantang and Renhe to attend the meeting to compete with them for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Lord Zhu was afraid of causing humiliation by himself, so he wanted to hand over to you immediately so that he could avoid this Lantern Festival and let the Lord be ridiculed by those scholars on his behalf."

Chen Ao became more and more confused as he heard it: "Why don't you issue a letter of war to the county magistrate and the county magistrate, but you want to choose a county magistrate?"

Liu Bin smiled and said, "According to the rules, the county master is the lord of a county. Even if these scholars do something wrong, they will never dare to bully the county master. As for the county magistrate, they are in charge of the etiquette room. This etiquette room is where scholars store copywriting. Do scholars dare to provoke him? If they accidentally lose one or two files, they don't know how much trouble it will take to reissue it. Only the magistrate... cough cough..." Liu Bin couldn't continue, and the meaning was very obvious.

When Chen Ao heard this, he suddenly felt unfair. These damn scholars thought they were just soft persimmons. Is the county magistrate so miserable?

Chen Aohu said with a face: "Even so, they are just scholars, what are they afraid of? As far as I know, Lord Zhu is also a Jinshi, can't even compare with scholars?"

Liu Bin said: "Hangzhou's literary style is so prosperous that even a three-foot-foot-foot-year-old child can recite a few poems. Although some scholars who are hang out in Xichun Bridge are also down-and-out, most of them have a good family background. They have always regarded themselves very high and have no intention of taking the exam. They say that they can do classics and do not know how to be knowledgeable? Therefore, they are devoted to studying poetry, essays, and are proficient in various miscellaneous studies. Not to mention that Lord Zhu was born as a Jinshi, but I am afraid that he would be able to compare with these miscellaneous studies. In recent years, the county magistrates in the two counties changed like a lantern, but most of them were in a mess."

Chen Ao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Can you not go?"

Liu Bin smiled and said, "If you don't go, you will be timid. Those scholars are quite famous in the scholars. If you don't know, you will think that the adults are afraid of them!"

Chen Ao finally clarified the whole story. Most of these so-called scholars are arrogant people with superior family backgrounds and unwilling to be officials. They are addicted to poetry, songs, music, chess, calligraphy and painting all day long. They despise those who write classical articles to seek official positions. On the one hand, they have the mentality of not being able to eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour. On the other hand, they think that poetry, songs and essays are real talents and knowledge, and are dissatisfied with Wang Anshi's reforms.

The biggest characteristic of such people is that they oppose authority, so they deliberately provoke officials. Most of them have backgrounds and are not afraid of a county lieutenant, so they are so arrogant.

Chen Ao thought about it and suddenly felt that he was very sad. The county magistrate was also an official. It was really outrageous.

Liu Bin continued: "Sir, it was originally not a big deal for you to make a payment with Lord Zhu later. Just wait a few days and after those people took the war letter and handed it to Lord Zhu, Lord Zhu would not be able to push it off. Alas, Lord Zhu was about to get white hair for this matter. He was ridiculed and humiliated last year. This year, he wanted to go away immediately. At that time, Lord Zhu urged him to make a payment, and the younger one winked the adult, but it was a pity..."

Liu Bin sighed and felt very sorry for Chen Ao. In his opinion, although Chen Ao is the top scholar, if you talk about miscellaneous studies, you are not the opponent of scholars and students who are immersed in love all day long. With the methods of those people in the past, they naturally want to deliberately ridicule Chen Ao. The county magistrate just took office, so he let some scholars bully him. It is really not nice to spread it.

Chen Ao pursed his lips and said, "I understand this. Please remind me if you have any questions, go and do official business first."

Chen Ao smiled and was already calculating in his heart. It’s not certain who would give him the right move! A group of little kids, my buddies would deal with them one by one sooner or later.

Chen Ao stepped out of the sign-in room and returned to the yatang. Yu Bichen had already written the official document and asked someone to send it out. He smiled and called Chen Ao and sat down, and said to Chen Ao: "Your family, I have arranged it in the Houya. You are a newcomer. If you have any needs, you can tell me."

Chen Ao thanked him, and Yu Bichen smiled and said, "You are Tang Jijiu's son-in-law. I have no reason to take care of you. I am not to hide it. Tang Jijiu and I are old acquaintances. They worked together back then, but he has entered the court, but I am still doing business... Alas, it's better not to say it."

Yu Bichen couldn't help but look like he was not satisfied with his talent. He paused for a moment and continued, "Chen Ao, there are not many rules in the yamen, but he can't ignore them completely. If you don't understand some things, come and ask me directly. Okay, go to the yamen to clean up first!"
