Chapter 46 Resignation
The news was that the county government issued an appointment to appoint Zhang Jiuyan as the village chief of Zhangjia Village.
Zhang Jiuyan was only puzzled by the appointment that fell from the sky.
The village chief is equivalent to the village chief. Although he is a sesame and mung bean, he is still an official at least. How could such a thing fall on his head?
Zhang Jiuyan didn't know that this was related to Mr. Huang Yasheng and Mr. Huang.
Why do you say so?
It turned out that everyone in the county government knew that Huang Yasheng and Zhang Jiuyan had a good relationship. At this time, Zhang Tianshou, the head of Zhangjia Village, died. No one in Zhangjia Village went to the county government to engage in activities and snatch the position of the head of the village.
So the county yamen official and the head of the house appointed Zhang Jiuyan for Huang Yasheng's sake.
Zhang Jiuyan didn't want this appointment, so Zhang Jiuyan found the county government for this matter and explained his purpose.
The person who received Zhang Jiuyan was Chen Sheng, the head of the county yamen.
The county yamen official house is in charge of the activation and removal of officials in a county, as well as the investigation of the gentry's Ding You, etc., which is considered to be quite powerful.
If someone wants to be a village chief, or wants to join the county yard to be a yamen runner, the first person he is looking for is the official and the housekeeper.
Chen Sheng was dressed the same as Wen Cunyi whom Zhang Jiuyan met in the county government last time. It seemed that Wen Cunyi was the owner of the house in charge of tax collection and other matters.
The structure of the county government and the court is similar. The court has six ministries, namely the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Justice.
The county government corresponds to it, there are six houses, namely the ritual house, the official house, the work room, the household house, the military house, and the punishment room. Some places also call these six houses the Six Departments.
Of course, the responsibilities are similar, but the six departments of the imperial court are in charge of the whole country, while the six wings of the county government are in charge of the whole county.
After the ceremony, Zhang Jiuyan said, "Mr. Chen, I really can't take responsibility for this appointment. Please take it back."
“Hahaha,,,”
Chen Sheng laughed and said with a joke: "Jiuyan, Jiuyan, the size of the village is a clerk. He is considered a person from the court. No one can even think of it. You are even pushing it out. You are such a wonderful person."
Chen Sheng's words are half true, because if someone wants to act and become a village leader, they are all cruel people and hard-hearted people. They hope to make a fortune by relying on the village leader's little power.
Those who are not strong enough dare not be considered as beings in the village.
Let me ask, if a family really has no money to pay taxes, and you are the village chief, will you bear to force him to sell land and land, and sell children and daughters?
If you can't bear to force them, you have to fill the tax.
So it is not easy to be a errand manager. I don’t know how many of the errand managers are hard to get tired of their hearts, and eventually they ruin their family.
This is the reason why Zhang Jiuyan is unwilling to be the village chief.
Zhang Jiuyan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Chen, I am a weak person. I really can't do it here."
Chen Sheng glanced at Zhang Jiuyan, suddenly changed his face and said angrily: "Can't do it? This is the appointment of the county government, and the county magistrate nodded. You have to do it even if you can't do it."
Zhang Jiuyan was stunned by Chen Sheng's sudden change of face.
Then Chen Sheng said again: "Since you have an old age with Mr. Huang, I can show you a way to make a fortune.
As a village chief, as long as you are hard-hearted, as long as you can settle the relationship between the county government, two taxes a year, and the village fields, mountains, rivers, soil slopes, wastelands and gullies. You can move them all for a year, and you will be more than you do as a commoner in your lifetime."
After saying that, Chen Sheng ignored Zhang Jiuyan and left.
Chen Sheng was a little disappointed. He thought that Zhang Jiuyan would come to thank him after he got this post as a village leader, but he didn't know that he was unwilling to do it.
If the appointment of the village chief had not been gone, it would be too troublesome to change it, and it would be inevitable that the county magistrate would have an unknown impression.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have told Zhang Jiuyan so much that he would just be driven away, and he didn't like to be a trash.
He couldn't resign, so Zhang Jiuyan had no choice but to go back.
When leaving the county yard, Zhang Jiuyan took out seven or eight copper coins and gave them to the guardian to ask how Zhang Tianshou's case was progressing.
The yamen runner got the copper coins, and Zhang Jiuyan was also a village chief, so he was somewhat embarrassed, so he did not hide it and said that the case was settled.
The county government determined that it was a murder and robbery caused by refugees entering the village.
Now the victims have been arrested. The county Zunshengtang asked about the case, and the refugees signed and sealed. Now they can only wait for the imperial court to issue an approval document and then they can be investigated.
Zhang Jiuyan was not surprised by this result, because there were countless unjust, false and wrong cases in ancient times, not to mention that it was now that it was impossible to find out. Just find a refugee to take the blame, and a large number of cases could be closed.
Zhang Jiuyan smiled helplessly, mourning for the Ming Dynasty and for the world.
Although Zhang Jiuyan should be the most happy as the biggest beneficiary of the case closing, Zhang Jiuyan was not happy at all.
After leaving the county government office, Zhang Jiuyan bought a chicken on the street, and then went to his sister's house to visit her.
After several times when I came to the county town, Zhang Jiuyan did not visit his sister's house, which was unreasonable.
However, it was not that Zhang Jiuyan refused to go, but that it was really difficult for his sister's in-laws to talk to, which was unreasonable, so Zhang Jiuyan naturally didn't want to go.
Zhang Jiuyan walked on the street to Baoshan Lane. A familiar voice came, mixed with the charming laughter of a woman.
Zhang Jiuyan looked over curiously and saw that it was his brother-in-law Li Fugui.
At this time, Li Fugui was hugging a woman dressed in a charming manner and was shopping for cloth shop.
Zhang Jiuyan didn't know this. He was furious and threw the chicken on the ground, rushed over and grabbed Li Fugui's collar, and punched Li Fugui in the face.
"Li Fugui, my sister is pregnant at home and gives birth to a son for your Li family. Do you dare to play with women here?"
After saying that, he punched Li Fugui in the face again, which made Li Fugui's face mark and blood bleeded.
When the guests in the cloth shop saw someone fighting, they were frightened and scattered.
The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper of the cloth shop did not understand the situation, and did not dare to come forward to persuade the fight. They had to say no to fight, no to fight, and say something to them.
The noise was too loud, and many people gathered outside the cloth shop to watch the fun.
The people are like this, and they don’t watch it when there is fun, unless the sun strikes the west.
Li Fugui was suddenly punched and at first he also turned around, but when he saw that it was Zhang Jiuyan, he was furious and scolded: "Zhang Jiuyan, you are crazy, I am your brother-in-law, you dare to hit me."
"Brother-in-law, that's a big deal."
Zhang Jiuyan glared and went up to beat him again, but was pulled by several cloth shop mates. Zhang Jiuyan scolded: "Your damn family doesn't have much money, and you still learn to play with women. Ah, are you ashamed?"
Zhang Jiuyan looked at the charming woman again and cursed: "You stinky bitch, don't you know he has a family? You're hooking up with him, why are you so mean?"
