Wu Sunchang always feels like he has been bullied.

He was originally the director of Renqiu County Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Although he had no one under his command, he was a poor official, but he was also a department head. This time, the crown prince supervised Nanjing, and various places selected elite officials to Liudu to listen to him. Wu Sunchang was finally elected. The Ministry of Personnel added him the title of ninth rank, but for some reason, he was asked to rush to Tianjin to walk south.

From Renqiu, you can go south to Linqing and then walk to Nanjing by the canal!

"Brother Wu is still vomiting?" A friend I met on the boat patted Wu Sunchang on the back.

Wu Sunchang, who had already vomited almost the same amount of clear water, immediately poured up again, vomiting twice, and was dizzy. He shook his head and gasped, "It's a good thing that's it, otherwise he must die on the boat."

The man seemed to be fine, laughed and said, "Brother Wu has to be a river boat in front of him. It will take at least three or five days to get from here to Nanjing."

"Brother Liang is this..."

"I'm here." The brother Liang said with a smile: "I just went to the dock to read the official dispatch card. I was transferred to the Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Shipinsi Zhaomo. Unfortunately, it was my brother's hometown."

"No wonder..." Wu Sunchang knew that the crown prince had changed his rules and liked to use local people as officials the most. Although being an official in another place was not a clear and unspoken rule, there were few cases of violation of this rule in all dynasties. What was guarded here was that local officials were local tyrants and formed vassal states. Obviously, the crown prince was not worried about this.

"Brother Wu has time in the future, so he can come to Songjiang Mansion for a while." Brother Liang bowed and was about to say goodbye.

Wu Sunchang quickly grabbed his arm and said, "Brother Liang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are one, I dare to ask about the rule of your country. What should I pay attention to first?"

Brother Liang patted Wu Sunchang's arm and smiled and said, "Learn Wu's words first."

Wu Sunchang's head exploded with a thud!

It’s better to die!

The orthodox Mandarin of the Ming Dynasty was Fengyang Mandarin. The emperor and the prince were born and raised in Beijing, but the official language of the court was still Fengyang. In addition to Fengyang dialect, Beijing Mandarin and Nanjing Mandarin are popular Mandarin in the north and south. The former is similar to Mandarin in later generations, and even new time travelers can barely mix together. Just be careful not to bring out the Liaodong military dialect - that one is more like Mandarin in later generations, but will be despised.

Nanjing Mandarin can refer to Nanjing dialect in later generations, which is somewhat difficult for northerners. However, the people do not use Mandarin, and what they speak is local dialect. Even Nanjing people four hundred years later will have some difficulties.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the officials were in a difficult situation. In addition to the officials from all over the country who formed their positions in the world and fought against the officials, the more important thing was that officials served in different places and could not understand the local dialect. The officials who had the right to communicate in languages ​​could naturally do many ills. For example, in Jiangnan and other places were pretty good. In the end, there was a gradual process. Those officials who were appointed to work in Fujian and Guangdong were the worst. If they offended the local officials, they would not even have enough food.

Wu Sunchang had been learning Wu language from Liang for several days on the boat. He thought it would be no problem to say hello to someone on the street. When he got off the boat, he met another Wu person, but he spoke in Gusu dialect. His confidence was instantly shattered. Only then did he realize that Brother Liang had slowed his speech several times in order to teach him.

——When Qin Shihuang was in the same book, he had a homophone and had not been the same for two thousand years!

Wu Sunchang felt like he had a knot in his heart.

"Wu Sunchang! Wu Sunchang!" Under the on-site official sign, someone shouted Wu Sunchang's name loudly.

"I'm calling you!" Brother Liang pushed Wu Sunchang: "Now all the people who call are appointed nearby. It seems that you don't have to go to Nanjing anymore."

"Good luck, luck..." Wu Sunchang staggered over and said loudly: "Here! Here! I am Wu Sunchang."

The man who called the name glanced at Wu Sunchang and said loudly: "Wu Sunchang was given the title of the lord of Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture."

Everyone around them looked enviously.

Wu Sunchang was stunned.

Brother Liang stepped forward and bowed, "Congratulations, low titles and high titles, and a bright future."

Wu Sunchang was still afraid of Suzhou dialect and asked in a low voice: "How far is Suzhou Prefecture from here?"

Brother Liang laughed and said, "This place is the jurisdiction of Suzhou Prefecture."

At this time, everyone stood on the boundary of Chongming County. It belonged to Suzhou Prefecture. Opposite Wusong River is Shanghai County, which belongs to Songjiang Prefecture.

Although Chongming is in Suzhou, Wu Sunchang has to walk one more day more than Brother Liang to get to the post. Finally, the itinerary on this day was by land, and there was a public carriage to ride, which made it much easier. There were only three people who arrived at Suzhou Prefecture together. The other two were newly graduated young men, with no beard on their mouths, just a circle of hard hair.

Wu Sunchang, who has a baby face but is actually twenty-one, naturally became the leader of the three-person group and was regarded as the backbone by the other two. However, after Wu Sunchang knew that they were studying accounting, he restrained a lot. In comparison, he did not have professional skills, and his previous job was more like a errand-runner.

"When I get to work, I have to go around more to handle the business properly." Wu Sunchang said to the two.

"It depends on Brother Wu's advice." The two said one after another.

Facts proved that Wu Sunchang's greeting was so timely. As soon as the three arrived in Kunshan County, they were extorted by local officials. The county magistrate looked cruel and seemed to have seen enemies who took their wives and killed their relatives. From the county magistrate to the clerks below, they were all gloomy. Even Bai Yao, who had no identity, was careless about them, rolling his eyes and even shouting.

The entire Kunshan County Government is like a ghost, and you can drip water into ice when you walk in.

Wu Sunchang led two scared little brothers out and encouraged them to comfort them: "Don't be afraid! We are the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Can they eat us?"

"Brother's legs don't shake..."

“…”

With this attitude, the county government naturally did not arrange food and accommodation for the three of them. Wu Sunchang had finally managed the industry and commerce, and was familiar with the inn and food price standards so that he would not make a joke. However, he soon discovered that the prices in Jiangnan were quite strange. The prices of copper coins were low, while the prices of silver were high. If you follow the theory that rare things were expensive, it seems that Jiangnan had more silver and less copper coins.

Although I couldn't understand the economic principle, Wu Sunchang couldn't control it much, because I had to think about how to get along with Shangguan and colleagues when I arrived at the county government tomorrow.

The basic configuration of the prefectures in the Ming Dynasty is a member of the magistrate of the seventh rank, a member of the eighth rank, a member of the ninth rank, and a member of the ninth rank, and a member of the non-class statute of the classics.

The crown prince expanded the official system and added county magistrates to the original basis to the inspection department and township chariots, which belonged to the command and command system. He also set up a county magistrate to separate the judicial powers of the magistrate and county magistrate. At the same time, he required all yamen to add a janitor to use it to count the administrative income and expenditure of the office.

As for regular meetings, project establishment and other systems, it is common sense in the north. Wu Sunchang was taught these rules from the first day of eating public food, which was taken for granted. After arriving in Kunshan, he found that he had really been to a foreign land.

The magistrate here is basically the magistrate and the county magistrate. The Dianshi also manages the county police station. Only four people from Ma Bu Kuaishou serve as police officers. Zhaomao is useless, but there is only a sign hanging at the door of the house. The county magistrate is short of staff, and it is said that he is still waiting for the Dushi to send people. As for daily work procedures, such as regular meetings, project establishments, minutes, and notifications... everyone seems to have never heard of it.

"Which job should the subordinate be in charge?" Wu Sunchang asked weakly.

The magistrate drooped his eyelids and sat upright on the official hat chair, and said leisurely: "The master should have been in charge of the entire county's household registration and handling of documents. At the beginning of last year, Nanjing came to Nanjing and urged the household registration of the people to be registered again. This official handed over this matter to you. If you want to do a good job, don't let the emperor down."

"The official understands." Wu Sunchang paused and said, "Master, look at this manpower, money..."

"The county still owes a lot of taxes, so how can I give you money? As for the manpower, just find some to save yourself." The magistrate raised his hand and touched the teacup on the table.

Wu Sunchang had no choice but to say goodbye, and said in his heart: I don’t give money or people, so I want me to do a major project to form a household registration and a civilian? I don’t know where Kunshan County has done now.

When he returned to his post office, Wu Sunchang called the household official and saw that he was an old man in his fifties and was unwilling to use his official power to suppress him. Not only did he let him sit, he ordered someone to serve tea, and then asked politely: "How has the progress of the matter of registering households and people in our county since last year?"

There was no resistance on the old man's face, but said, "I haven't bought it yet."

"Why is this?" Wu Sunchang was stunned: The Fenqin Office issued the official documents last year, and it was already too late. Why did it not start when you get to the local area?

"The third master Rong Bing," the old official bowed a little, "This matter requires no one, no money. The money transactions in my house are already very complicated, so where can I get the time?"

"This matter is a major event in the court. If you ask questions at the top, what should you do?"

The old official stopped talking, just sat silently, like a stone carving. No matter what Wu Sunchang said, the old official in the house just thought he couldn't understand, and occasionally responded to it and no longer used official language. He just used Kunshan dialect to deal with it. He heard that Wu Sunchang was furious and wanted to beat him up.

After driving the old official away, Wu Sunchang's anger subsided slightly. He suddenly heard someone pulling outside the door and shouted, "Who is outside? Don't you understand the rules!"

The curtains were separated, but Lu Wei and Yang Xiang were two accounting students who came with Wu Sunchang. They squeezed into the door together, but they pulled a soap li with rat whiskers.

"What's the matter?" Wu Sunchang suppressed his anger when he saw Lu Wei, Yang Xiang and asked.

"Let me tell you what you said before and listen to the third master." Lu Wei pushed the Zaoli behind.

The Zaoli came forward timidly and greeted Wu Sunchang, saying, "Third Master, the villain is also the rumor he heard..."

"Say." Wu Sunchang felt nervous for no reason.

"It's said that the eldest master and the second master are going to send you a chance."

Wu Sunchang frowned: "I have only been in office for two or three days, and the official duties I have received are not yet Cheng Wen's day. How can they send me the blame!"

"It's the third master's residence..."
