As the magistrate of Xinfeng County, Chen Wannian has been busy recently.

I was so busy that I weighed my weight yesterday, but I actually gained three pounds again...

"You can't go to the banquet anymore..." Chen Wannian said to himself in the bronze mirror: "If this continues, your highness and Shizhong Zhang will not like it!"

As the county magistrate, Chen Wannian is now full of crisis.

because……

The people below are so capable!

Among the pavilions in various villages in Xinfeng, there are simply hidden dragons and creeping tigers!

Wang Ji, the Qiangfu in Linwei Township, was directly released by Shizhong Zhang as the magistrate of Lintong County. After only one month of his tenure, he was praised by the whole county. Both the gentry and nobles were obedient.

And there are as many as six people in Xinfeng County who are similar to Wang Ji’s ability!

Not to mention Hu Jian, Sang Jun, and Ding Yan, such powerful people with outstanding abilities in their respective fields.

On the contrary, his status and ability are becoming more and more embarrassing.

In particular, the Xinfeng system is about to expand, from one county to four counties.

Maybe in the future, I can still surpass Jingzhaoyi.

And this period of time is an extremely critical node.

As an official fan, Chen Wannian dreams of climbing up!

He doesn't want to be a laughing stock.

If it is in the future, Xinfeng will have all grown up and down, and two thousand stones will run around the ground, and the Marquis will grab it with one hand.

He is still the county magistrate.

That would be too tragic.

He knew very well that his abilities were far inferior to those elites of the Imperial Academy.

The potential is even more impossible to catch up with bugs like Wang Ji and Gong Yu.

People can never forget everything they see, and can learn from it. They have strong acceptance, eloquence, mind and ambition, are far beyond the reach of an official fan like him who only wants to be promoted.

In terms of making money and calculating accounts, he is not as good as Sang Jun and his powerful officials in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Fortunately...

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Chen Wan said in a young voice: "Fortunately, I have always been obedient..."

This is also the only advantage he can find.

All the orders of Zhang Shizhong should be obeyed with all his strength; all the will of His Highness Changsun should be implemented with all his strength.

Don’t distinguish right from wrong, don’t think, focus on execution.

Therefore, for half a year, his status as a county magistrate and the position of the third person in Xinfeng have not moved at all.

After tying the ribbon around his waist, Chen Wannian put on his crown and hat, walked out of the door, and came to the county yard.

As soon as he arrived in the yard, Chen Wannian saw an old man with a dove stick. With the help of two young people, he came in from the main gate of the county government office tremblingly.

Suddenly, Chen Wannian's eyebrows jumped up.

For any county and township official at the grassroots level of the Han Dynasty, the most feared thing is this kind of old man with a dove stick.

Because no one can afford to offend!

Just as I was about to run away, I heard the old man's voice: "Mr. Chen, don't hide from me anymore!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wannian smiled bitterly in disappointment, lifted up the ribbon, went forward, and bowed with a respectful disciple, "How dare you avoid senior?"

"The elder General Xu, the chief of Xinfeng (river crab), is Zhang Shizhong and His Highness Changsun, all regard the elders as their troops in the town pavilion. It is too late to welcome the subordinates, so how could they deliberately avoid the old general?"

The visitor hummed twice and said to Chen Wannian: "If this is true, that would be great!"

"County magistrate, I ask you - Xinfeng County soldiers, when will you recruit soldiers?"

"The veteran general... please come in..." Chen Wannian lowered his head and served the old man carefully: "Shizhong Zhang and His Highness Changsun are coming back soon. At that time, why don't the veteran general ask in person?"

"Well!" The old man leaned on the dove stick in his hand and stepped forward: "I am here to wait for the Shi Zhonggong and His Highness Changsun!"

Chen Wannian quickly smiled and said, "The official is waiting for the veteran general to enter the county yard to rest..."

But the old man pushed him away: "The county magistrate has his own official duties, so there is no need to waste time on me!"

"Then... the officials sent someone to serve the old general..." Chen Wannian bowed deeply, watched the old man, and with the help of his children, he walked into the side hall of Xinfeng County Government.

……………………………………

After watching the game, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin drove back to the county town.

Today, a road paved with gravel and sand has been built between Huiqu Ranch and Xinfeng County.

Therefore, the time to and from the ranch and county town has been greatly reduced.

In just one quarter of an hour, Zhang Yue and his party returned to the county government office.

As soon as he got off the car, Zhang Yue saw that at the county government gate, Chen Wannian seemed to be scratching his head and looking at something.

"Civilian Magistrate Chen..." Zhang Yue walked forward and asked, "Why are you looking around at the county government office?"

When Chen Wannian saw Zhang Yue, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Shizhong, Old General Xu is here..."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he also frowned: "Is it a matter of recruiting troops for the county soldiers?"

Chen Wannian nodded.

It happened that at this moment, Liu Jin also came over surrounded by guards, heard the conversation between the two and asked, "Is it the old general Xu in Yangli?"

Chen Wannian hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to your Highness, it is the Old General Xu in Yangli!"

"Oh..." Liu Jin listened with a solemn expression and said, "The old general came to the county government office and went to visit and pay homage!"

"Your Highness... wait..." Zhang Yue hurriedly grabbed Liu Jin and said, "I will go with you..."

Xu Rong, the three elders of Yangli, is now the most well-known and respected old man in Xinfeng.

It is not only because he is old enough, but also because he has visited the emperor, praised him and given him a canopy.

It is also because of Zhang Yue and Liu Jin's respect.

The Xinfeng policy is not only to build water conservancy, promote millet seedlings, and build workshop gardens, in order to eliminate interference and occupy the moral commanding heights.

Whenever there is any interest in Xinfeng, all the big and small matters, I will ask for advice and ask for the opinions of the three elders from all over the country.

The degree of democratization and the depth of the three elders' participation in politics and policy discussions are the best among the Han people!

It is precisely because of this that although many people criticize and attack some of Xinfeng's policies, no one dares to completely deny everything about Xinfeng.

Even the most stubborn person has to admit that "Xinfeng's elderly care, respect and respect for the elderly have a style of three generations, and the old love!"

Not to mention, Zhang Yue also asked the pavilions in each township to sign and improve village rules and regulations.

This is even more hymn.

Whether it is the modern literature school or the ancient literature school, they all think this is a good thing.

However, everything has two sides.

Just like now, the three elders in Xinfeng have become more enthusiastic about participating in county affairs than ever before.

No matter what happens, I want to express my opinions and talk about my own opinions.

Some people are easy to talk to, and the government does their work. Even if they don’t agree, they will help the government.

But some are more stubborn and difficult to convince.

For example, this old general Xu...

…………………………

Zhang Yue followed Liu Jin and entered the county government office. Under the guidance of Chen Wannian, he came to the side hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the three elders of Yangli whom I met when I first came to Xinfeng for inspection. They were sitting upright in the guest room, sleeping and resting.

Hearing the footsteps, the old general opened his eyes, and immediately stood up with the help of his children, greeted Liu Jin, bowed and said, "The old minister of the mountain and field, Xu Ronggong, asked His Highness Changsun for his safety..."

"Ask Zhang Shizhong's wife..."

Liu Jin hurried forward, bowed with his disciple's courtesy and said, "Hao, please give up the gift, I will not be able to give up the gift of the general..."

Zhang Yue also said, "The old general has ruined his younger generation. How dare I call him great in front of the general?"

So, the two replaced Xu Rong's children, one left and one right, and helped the old man in the county sit down. Then Liu Jin asked kindly like a disciple: "The old general is not in Yangli, why do you come to the county government?"

"Your Highness is very loving, and the old minister is in the Wumen!" Xu Rong smiled and enjoyed this kind of treatment very much. He glanced at Zhang Yue and said, "The old minister is here to ask Zhang Shizhong when will the Xinfeng County soldiers recruit soldiers? How much does it take to recruit..."

Zhang Yue listened and quickly smiled, "Why should the old general come in person in person? Send a son and nephew to come with a letter, and the younger generation will naturally give you a reply..."

Liu Jin also said: "What Zhang Qing said is very good! The old general is very old, how can he be exhausted?"

He looked at the children of Yangli on both sides and scolded: "In the future, if the old general has something to do, you will come to Xinfeng County Government to find an orphan for the old general!"

"No!" The left and right children quickly responded with confidence.
