Chapter 7 I'm here to help you
Xiao Yue'er was very happy while eating desserts.
She thought He Jin was good-looking and spoke nicely, and she was simply a talent. Yue'er liked it...well, she liked this talent who invited her to have snacks.
But as she ate, she thought of a question: "Young Master, how do you know so clearly about Mr. Chen?"
"Because my father used to be a clerk in the yamen, although he was not familiar with Master Chen, he had never heard of Master Chen's hobbies..."
As he said that, He Jin saw that the person in front of Master Chen’s door had almost gone, he looked at the sky again and said to himself: “It should be almost done…”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a figure appearing on the street: The man was under fifty years old, wearing a cotton coat and a long goat with a slightly sad face, and he was holding his goatee while walking...
He Jin immediately stood up, picked up the gift and pulled Xiao Yue'er, and walked to the man: "Sir Chen, boy He Jin, the son of He Bao, the former official of the punishment room, came to see you for something."
Chen Ming looked reluctant when he heard this and was about to refuse, but Xiao Yue'er said loudly: "Master Chen, just talk to the young master. You specially brought you the best Jinhua ham!"
Yue'er is childish and beautiful, and her voice is soft and soft, which instantly makes Mr. Chen Ming's love spread.
Especially when he remembered that He Bao died in office and He Jin was so intentional... Chen Ming stumbled for a moment, then said, "Since that's the case, please come in and talk in detail."
When he arrived at Master Chen's home, He Jin looked around and found that although there were constant gifts from the old man in front of the door, the house was covered with walls and a lonely lamp was like beans.
It seems that the old man lives a very deserted and poor life. No wonder he never forgets to eat a bite of Jinhua ham... It turns out that it is because, well, he can't afford it at all.
He Jin was such a clever person. When he saw this situation, he took a photo of Shaoxing’s daughter Hong’s wine seal without saying a word.
Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine filled out, and He Jin immediately said, "Master Chen, the boy came in a hurry and didn't prepare any good gifts... How about we chatting while eating?"
Chen Ming was immediately amazed and laughed: You guys have been filmed and opened the wine, can I let you take it back?
So, he could only say half-spokenly: "Then I would like to thank Mr. He for your hospitality..."
After saying that, the three of them started preparing for the preparation together.
Soon, the southern specialty wine and food brought by He Jin, such as glutinous rice lotus root, pickled pepper chicken feet, pickled spring bamboo shoots, dried fish... were placed on a table full of them.
Of course, the main dish is the steamed Jinhua ham.
"A top scholar can be produced in three years, but a good ham cannot be produced in three years. The most authentic ham is the Jinhua ham." As soon as he sat down, Mr. Chen Ming was furious and knew it like a treasure: "In addition to the 'two-headed black', the salt that is pickled must be salt, and the smoke that is smoked must be pine smoke, and there are many other requirements, which are very complicated and demanding..."
As he said that, he had already put a piece in his mouth, his face full of happiness: "But, it's all worth it!"
He Jin immediately agreed, "Eat never tires away from fine food and stews. Mr. Chen is really a person who understands all kinds of flavors of life."
This flattery was beautiful, which made Chen Ming look very happy.
But after all, he was a mature man, and then said, "Okay, you kid is considerate. Let's talk about it. What's going on when I came to find me this time?"
Yue'er was about to speak after hearing this, but He Jin was quick-witted and quickly picked up a chopstick of Jinhua ham and stuffed it into her mouth.
After blocking Yue'er's mouth, he slowly spoke: "Before my father was alive, I admire Mr. Lucky character. I am not talented. I heard that the master has something difficult to solve recently, so I will help me."
Mr. Chen couldn't even eat ham meat anymore, so he widened his eyes and looked at He Jin: You kid came to visit with something in a big bag, obviously begging me to do something, but he said he was here to help me solve my problems......... Are you shameless?
However, even though He Jin's face was thicker than the city wall, he still said lightly: "If the boy guessed well, the master should be worried about how to deal with the new master's affairs recently?"
As soon as these words fell, Chen Ming couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, and his expression became solemn: Because He Jin guessed nothing, he was frowning when he first came back, but he didn't know how to deal with the new master.
He followed his former Magistrate Mi to Cizhou, but unexpectedly, the White Lotus Sect was in chaos during his tenure, and Magistrate Mi also lost his post and dismissed from office.
Originally, Chen Ming had prepared to roll the rolls and return to Jinhua. However, the new master thought about him working diligently, so he continued to hire him as the magistrate of the state yamen.
Chen Ming was naturally grateful for this, but at the same time he also knew what kind of mess was in the yamen.
But the new magistrate was young and energetic, thinking about making some achievements, and asked him several times, hoping to come up with a charter - for this matter, the old man was so worried that he almost pulled out his beard...
But if you say a thousand words, how did He Jin, you, an outsider, know about this kind of thing?
"Sir, don't make a fuss, you just guess it casually." He Jin was so relaxed that he shook his hand and said, "I heard that the new master is the governor appointed by the emperor."
"As such a emperor's favor and the new official's three major furious results, the master can't wait to show his strength."
"But the master was just Jinshiro last year and had no experience in having an agency. When he came to Cizhou, he looked dark and naturally had to rely on Mr. Chen's wisdom... In this way, the boy's guess was natural."
He Jin's words were easy, but it was heard in Chen Ming's ears, and he was surprised: A young man who had not yet reached the top, but was not in the yamen, could guess the master's thoughts so accurately.
Moreover, you can also use the opportunity to find yourself, making it impossible for you to refuse...
This kid is so wise and close to the demon!
At this moment, Chen Ming couldn't help but become cautious, raised He Jin a level in his heart, and said, "See Mr. Yi, how should I deal with it?"
He Jin smiled and said, "Sir, since the master's eyes are dark, why not start with familiarizing himself with the county affairs?"
"For example, I would like to visit the Sales Bureau, the Yangji Academy, the Anji Academy, the Luze Garden, and encourage poor students in the county to study... Isn't it great if I am familiar with government affairs and people's livelihood?"
OK, not good at all!
To be fair, He Jin's suggestion is to avoid the important things, and a typical example is to only do temples and not chant scriptures! Because of condolences to charities and doing these face-saving projects, it does not solve practical problems at all except for being good-looking and pleasant.
But some things have to be like this, because no one can find fault with these face-saving projects.
On the contrary, in this way, everyone still praises the new master's virtue and praises the master for being polite to the people. This is a rare good official. If the reputation is good, officials will rise to the top and rise step by step.
Mr. Chen's staff for many years naturally understood the mystery and his eyes lit up.
But then, he shook his head regretfully and said, "Although this plan is stable, I think the new master is a truly ambitious person. He may not spend any effort on these flashy things..."
"It's not that he always did this." He Jin still had a backhand and explained slowly: "The master was thinking of making drastic moves, reforming the administration, and sweeping away the perfunctory aura of the state. But the question is, can he do it rashly now? Just like two armies faced off, we have to pay attention to the first politeness and then the army?"
"First rituals and then troops?" Chen Ming narrowed his eyes and couldn't help but a gleam of light came out.
"Not bad!" He Jin clapped his hands and said, "It is the best way to make a decision before moving. The boy's suggestion is not to let the master just live, but to let the master slow down first."
"At least, the master has to explore the reality and reality, right? After a long time, the problem will surface and then have a reputation for the people. Only in this way can one kill the throat with one sword!"
"It's amazing!..." Chen Ming couldn't help but exclaim.
Then, the more he looked at He Jin, the more he felt that he was a big baby. He couldn't help but speak out: "Boy, come to the yamen with me. With your ability, you will definitely be prosperous in it!"
He Jin smiled and bowed and thanked him: "I really want to do it, I dare not ask for it..."
As soon as he said this, Chen Ming realized: This kid... he suggested that the master do those face-saving projects first, and then he, the son of a former official, wanted to come to the yamen to do an errand. How could the master disagreed in order to win people's hearts?
Why is this ghost boy’s mind so unfathomable and unscathing?
