268: A new official takes office(1/2)

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xie Lang had only more than two months left for delivery, and his lower abdomen became even more protruding.

Xie Chen accompanied Xie Lang and his wife to have a reunion dinner in the palace at noon, and left the palace in the afternoon. They had a class reunion party in the evening.

Xie Lang once attended a party, but only went there once, because there were inevitably various comparisons during the party, and she couldn't stand that kind of atmosphere.

Xie Chen doesn’t have to worry about this place. After all, no one’s identity is as high as him. Where can he brag about it?

Lin Pu Mansion received the mistress of the Song family at noon that day. After all, Song Lu's father was a county magistrate and was not allowed to leave his post alone, so only Mrs. Song and his son came this time.

After entering the door and asking each other for a visit, Lin Xiang talked to Mrs. Song in the front hall about the marriage of the two children.

"Madam Song, I believe you also know that your two children will go to Huaian County, Yuzhou soon. During their tenure, they cannot leave. If they do not achieve results, they will naturally not be promoted. They will be at least three to five years, and at least seven to eight years, or even in this life, but the child's marriage cannot be delayed."

Mrs. Song knew very well that the two elders of the Song family were excited from the bottom of their hearts to get to the marriage of the grandson of the prime minister's mansion.

"I wonder what kind of opinion is the Prime Minister?" asked Mrs. Song.

"In my opinion, it is to let the two children register for marriage in the next two days, and the bride price will be handed over to the Song family. In this way, the two children will have a clear road. When the two children stabilize in the future, then hold a wedding banquet. What does Mrs. Song think?"

"This..." Mrs. Song was a little confused.

It is a big deal for children to get married. Even if the merchants get married on the day of their wedding, they have to hold a big banquet. Even if it is a little simpler, it is not easy to save.

In Mrs. Song's opinion, this approach of the Lin family is really inappropriate.

The daughter is also the treasure of the couple. How can a big marriage be played?

However, what Lin Xiang said is not unreasonable. The two children went to the same place, and they were willing to do so. Yuzhou was not close to their families. If they were not settled, they would not be at ease if their daughter went there.

Song Lu didn't care about this. Although there was no banquet, as long as they registered, they were legal couples. The banquet was just a signboard. She didn't care whether there was or not.

Seeing this, Mingzhuo stood up and bowed to Mrs. Song, "Madam, I really love Miss Song. Today, I will make a vow to you in front of my grandfather. As long as Miss Song does not do anything that goes against our relationship, I will never do anything that will be sorry to Miss Song in this life. I am willing to be harmonious with her and go to my old age together."

When Mrs. Song heard this, her face was a little dull.

What is the status of the Lin family and what is their Song family?

Even if he didn't rely on the Lin family, Ming Zhuo's father was at least the prefect of Yongzhou, a fourth-rank official, and a rank-rank official, and was not something the Song family could provoke.

Even if Ming Zhuo raises a concubine and drinks a flower wine in the future, the Song family would not dare to stand up for their daughter.

Now she sat down in front of Lin Xiang in front of her, so she promised that Mrs. Song could not be surprised.

Seeing that his daughter was pulling her clothes behind her back, Mrs. Song felt a little reluctant, and at the same time she thought to herself that she would not be able to stay.

"Since that's the case, I will take this marriage on my behalf." She reached out and helped Ming Zhuo up. "She was carefully cared for by my husband and I. Now she has graduated from women's university with excellent grades. In the future, she will ask Mr. Ming to treat her kindly. To say, Mr. Ming doesn't want to listen, if Mr. Ming and his daughter are not in love in the future, please see my kind motherly heart, give her a decent and let her return home safely."

"Mrs. Song is so serious. The boy and Miss Song have known each other for two years. They fell in love when they first met. Since then, they have never forgotten them. How dare they treat her? Please be content with Mrs. Song."

He said this, and Mrs. Song's heart was relieved.

The next day, the Ming family changed to ask Ming Zhuo to go to the Song family's temporary residence to send several boxes of bride gifts. There were no large items, but the gift list was very gorgeous. After all, the two of them would set off to work in three days. Even if they prepared the large gifts, they could not take them away. However, they would not be afraid of having the gift list. In the future, even if the two left, the Ming family would prepare all the items on the gift list and then let Song Lu take them away.

With the status of the Ming family and the Lin family, we definitely did not dare to give these brides.

Because the Song family was not here, they didn't care about preparing gifts for a while. Therefore, Mrs. Song did not keep any of the boxes of dowry gifts, and asked her daughter to take them away. When she returned home, she would prepare some gifts with her husband and let someone deliver them to her daughter.

The two went to register for marriage, holding the bright red notebook, and for a moment they seemed to be dreaming.

"Lulu, after today, you and I will be husband and wife."

"Yes, I just hope that I can be together with my husband in the future and support each other for a lifetime."

"I will definitely get you what you want."

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the training, hundreds of outstanding graduates packed their luggage and went to their own positions.

At the same time, these 100 newly promoted court officials also got a tram when they obtained their official position.

The trams specially supplied by the government are different from those used by ordinary people, and the license plate numbers can be independently distinguished. The models and colors are different from those that people can buy on the market.

The overall model is masculine and masculine, with black color, and the license plate needs to be processed at the local area. If the road is inspected, you can hand over your official position to the other party, and the local highway manager will release it.

Of course, the car will only be given to local county magistrates, county magistrates and prefects. Others can use their cars to buy them at preferential prices by relying on their official positions. That is not a model exclusive to the court.

But this is also beneficial. The car you buy is yours and will be given to you by the court. If you transfer the car in the future, the car will be kept in the yamen and cannot be taken away.

Song Lu knew that her mother-in-law didn't like her very much, but as the first graduate of the law department of Chang'an University and the first three graduates in women's college, Song Lu had her own pride and would respect her mother-in-law. If her mother-in-law never liked her, she would probably stay away. If the quarrel was considered a big deal, she would only be invisible.

It also means that their family is in the territory of Yongzhou, and they will not be transferred to Yongzhou in the future. After all, the court has explicit regulations that officials are not allowed to serve in their ancestral homes.

Therefore, after getting married, the two left the Ming family and would not have any friction with their parents-in-law and uncle.

Furthermore, she studied the law and memorized the laws and regulations carefully.

She can respect her parents-in-law, but she has no direct support relationship. The income from marriage is their marriage property. In the future, even if she is divorced, she will need to divide the marriage property. The pre-marital property is not allowed to be divided, and the dowry is the woman's pre-marital property.

The marriage law of the New Law of the Great Zhou Dynasty played a good role in protecting women.

This has never happened before.

There are many other detailed regulations, which try to be fair and just, so that people will not suffer losses or take advantage of others.

Lin Yao did not like this daughter-in-law at first, after all, the lintels of the two families were not very compatible at all.

But when she was sending her son and daughter-in-law away, she saw that the big boxes sent to the Song family were all moved to the car. She then pulled Song Lu and whispered: "Child, do you want to take these things away too?"

Song Lu nodded and smiled, "Mother, my mother said I would take all these away, so I won't keep them at home."

The bride price at this time is considered as compensation from the man to the woman's parents. After all, if you marry someone's daughter, you can't express anything.

Most of them will leave some bride gifts and then buy some for their daughter to take them away.

Some women's parents will still keep them all, which is something that only parents who have no feelings for their daughter can do.

Now that Lin Yao saw that her family had not left behind at all, she gave it to Song Lu, she felt a little bit of recognition in her heart.

Although the Song family is not tall, it is still very good at being a human being.

As for the woman's dowry, Lin Yao didn't care whether her parents gave her or not. Anyway, even if she gave her, she was still a daughter-in-law. Moreover, the Song family didn't care about the banquet, so she was willing to take a step back.

"After going to the post, you young couples need to support each other. Your father-in-law is also in an official position. It will take at least twenty years to retire. Naturally, I can't help you. You must understand each other and send letters to your home if you have something to do."

When Song Lu saw that her mother-in-law seemed to be easy to talk suddenly, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother, daughter-in-law understand."

"That's good. While it's still early, you can set out earlier and don't be able to stay in the evening."

"yes!"

In the car, the two were sitting in the back, with a servant and a girl in front of them, and they were their servants respectively.

Song Lu said to Ming Zhuo: "You are still smart and know how to show your mother."

"We are already married, so naturally we are a husband and wife. Besides, letting our mother see that scene is not a deception from her. My father-in-law and mother-in-law did not leave any of them. This is true. Even if we deliberately let our mother-in-law see it, it is to make your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have a harmonious relationship. If your mother is happy, you don't have to worry about it."

"Yeah, thank you."

"The family doesn't speak two families." Ming Zhuo patted her hands, "Going to office is the little life for us. I might be very busy in the two years I just went there, so you have to take care of yourself."

"I understand, don't worry." When the new official takes office, he naturally needs to implement all good measures in place. The most important thing is to let the local people live a comfortable life. He must be very busy. He punishes rogues, coordinates local neighbors, and also finds a way to make a fortune for the surrounding villagers.

How could she complain because her husband didn't have time to accompany her? After all, the two still have decades to do, and it is their duty and obligation to benefit one side.

Such situations as the two of them have happened everywhere.

If the distance is close, you can arrive at the office in one or two days by car, and if you are far away, you can also take seven or eight days.

Because they knew that there were irregular supervision of Jinyiwei in the world, they did not dare to take it lightly. After taking office, they first learned about the local situation, and then managed and improved it with local officials.

The ministers of the Ministry of Personnel who taught them said that the promotion of officials by Your Majesty is not about age, but about political achievements.

If you do well, you may also be prime minister at the age of 30. Ordinary people may stay in office for the rest of your life and be promoted. As for those who use their power to harm one's own party, they will be dismissed from office at the least, and they will be sentenced to jail at the worst.

After years of hard study, who doesn’t want high-ranking officials and generous salaries? Besides, young people always have the spirit of daring to fight and make a breakthrough. No matter what in the future, they want to make political achievements now and glorify their ancestors.

Nowadays, many counties and towns in Dazhou are temporarily supervised by the chief clerk, and there is no county magistrate.

Although the students who graduated this time will not have parents’ officials in every county and town across the country, they will at least be relieved.

Besides, there are already defense centers stationed in the local area, and the chief clerk dare not act rashly. Who can make the people go to the top? It is the second-rank general entrenched in the capital?

Although the second-rank rank seems to be invincible, you have to figure it out that there are only two first-rank high-rank officials in the court now and one of them is in the first-rank rank.

Su Ying was the first-rank prime minister, General Yao Huifang was the first-rank general of the country, Deputy Prime Minister Lin Pu was the first-rank prime minister, and the others were the second-rank.

If the local defense commander is attacked, a letter can be directly reached by Tianting. What about the chief clerk? He has to send it to the county magistrate's office first, then submit it to the prefect's office, and then the prefect's office will report it to the Ministry of Personnel, and then submit it to His Majesty for the front line. The difference is not a small matter.

Moreover, since the defense offices were stationed all over the country, ordinary people would be keen on finding defense offices when encountering problems, but their respective county governments were neglected.

This scene they were happy to see in the past is now compared by the defense center, and it is inevitable that they feel uncomfortable.

The people sued them and thought that the people were just full and were full and were looking for trouble.

The people did not look for them, but they felt that they were neglected and had more authority in the defense center.

Especially when seeing that during festivals and holidays, the people in the defense center were blocked by the smiles and festive gifts of the people, the chief clerks felt uncomfortable.

The defense centers solve the troubles for the people almost free of charge, but their monthly money is settled in the yamen.

Therefore, as soon as some county magistrates took office, the local chief clerk began to wear small shoes for the defense center and said some sarcastic words to mislead their boss.

However, after the Ministry of Personnel's strict training, these chief clerks could not control the new county magistrates. Besides, they were all excellent graduates, and they learned that the national conditions were much better than those of them, frogs in the well.

Therefore, as soon as he took office, he was anxious to communicate with the local defense commander and the legal officer in terms of work, and then he began to rectify the county government.
