Chapter 75 New Year's New Weather
Before the 20th day of the first lunar month, a bang sound rang out from the Kunshan County Government.
The sound was not harsh, but it was extremely penetrating and could spread throughout all corners of the yamen, including the chief clerk.
The Great Wall was so tired last night that Bai Shouli, who was sleeping with his head covering, was awakened by the sound of soul-like snaking, and his head was exposed in anger.
"What's the news? The one who sells tofu?!"
"How can tofu gangzi be so loud?" His wife sat in front of the dressing table, slashing her eyebrows and hair while saying, "I sound like the sound of cloud boards in front of you."
"What does it mean? It's all!" After the New Year, the chief clerk who turned back into a fat white man again. After his wife's reminder, he felt like he was stung by a bee. He rolled and jumped off the bed and said, "Official robe, the master is placing the yamen. If it's too late, he will eat the board!"
"Ah? Have you ever been in the yamen?" His wife didn't care about dressing up herself anymore, so she quickly got up and found him official robes, black gauze, and official boots.
He also called for his concubine to help him and helped the master dress neatly as quickly as possible. Bai Shouli rushed out of the bedroom like a cannon popping out of the chamber.
"Wait, belt, belt!" His wife chased after him with the black horn belt.
Listening to the sound of the cloud board that was tight and urging death, Bai Shouli seemed to see the gloomy face of the master.
The fat white man didn't bother to turn around, and just like running on the relay, he grabbed his belt and ran forward.
When he left the house, County Magistrate He who was almost following the opposite door was full of arms.
"You forgot too?" He Wenwei asked while tying the buttons of his official robe.
"When did you last time the Paiya? I don't remember it." Bai Shouli tied his belt while walking quickly: "When the master took office?"
"It's almost the same." County Magistrate He smiled bitterly.
When the two assistants rushed to the second hall, they saw a group of miscellaneous officials, clerks, and yamen runners all coming in panic. Some even wore boots and slippers. Some people didn't even wear official hats.
The second hall was noisy, like entering a bathhouse. Only Xiong Dianshi was dressed neatly and stood there with a calm mind.
"I'll go, Lao Xiong, do you still remember to have to yamen?" Bai Shouli tied up his belt and stood opposite him.
"Today is the first day after the Yuan Dynasty holiday. Even if the master does not rank in the yamen, I plan to train the third yamen runners." Xiong Dianshi said lightly.
"You are cruel." Bai Shouli curled his lips. The widower was a pervert.
~~
After the second bang was beaten, everyone was scheduled to stand, and then Fan Datong shouted at the top of his voice: "Master is here!"
All the officials bowed together to welcome the county magistrate to the hall.
Zhao Shouzheng was wearing a black gauze and a small blue flower tray collar and a right-sided robe. The patch on his chest was not an ordinary magistrate's magistrate, but a egret representing the sixth-rank genus.
This is the result of Suzhou Prefecture, in order to commend him for his contribution to water control, specially wrote a letter to the Southern Ministry of Personnel after the flood last autumn, requesting him to be promoted...
Because Zhao Shouzheng was an official demoted by Emperor Longqing himself, the Southern Ministry of Personnel did not dare to be good at it and kicked the ball to the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel also asked the emperor for instructions. Finally, Longqing personally criticized:
‘I will be promoted after just a few days. Isn’t this killer material becoming more and more arrogant? At most, I will restore this product. I will stay in Kunshan for three years before watching it.’
Before Zhao Shouzheng was demoted, he had just been awarded the title of the sixth-rank Hanlin editor, so the Southern Ministry of Personnel gave him a piece of erotic zipper and asked him to replace it himself, which was a reward.
Although all the officials in Jiangnan were unfair to him, they all said that the emperor was targeting him. Fortunately, Mr. Zhao was very open-minded. He only wanted to serve the people if he was not of grade.
So on the first day after the holiday, Mr. Zhao was determined to refresh himself, to eliminate the debauchery and slackness during this period, and to devote himself to the construction plan of New Kunshan!
This is the only time I knocked on the cloud board of the Paiya for a leap year or not...
Sitting down after the big case, Zhao Shouzheng looked at the disheveled officials coldly.
"What kind of style is it! Get back, put on your clothes and come again!" Mr. Zhao snorted, and several officials hurriedly left.
"Do you think that if the embankment is repaired, everything will be fine? Finally, you can enter the warehouse with swords and guns and put the horses in the south mountain?" Zhao Shouzheng harshly started the hall and said:
"Look at you, it's unreasonable to be like during the Chinese New Year!"
The officials lowered their heads in shame.
"It's almost the first month. Haven't you had enough holidays yet? I'll give you another ten days!"
After the Chinese New Year, the two people at home revealed their nature again, and once again let Mr. Zhao eat all his energy. It is beneficial to his physical and mental health when he vents here.
The officials under his command are also good-tempered. After all, they just received so much silver reward from the master, which may include the money for being scolded. He can just scold him, but he will not be short of one tael of silver anyway.
When the officials came back in a well-dressed manner, Mr. Zhao stopped his scolding and asked with a stern face: "Have you reflected on me?"
"I have reflected on myself, and I have reflected on myself deeply." The officials were eager to shake their tails and beg for mercy.
"I know what's wrong?" Zhao Shouzheng asked with a hug.
"We are lazy." County Magistrate He blamed himself: "It's not far from time to relax."
"Yes, the master scolded him well. We forgot the eager expectations of the 300,000 Kunshan elders." Bai Shouli hurriedly continued.
"Hmph, this is almost the same." Zhao Shouzheng said with a look of a glare: "My son said... Uh, my son is so young, and his grades only represent the past. Pride will ruin the great situation we have worked hard to get."
"Yes, yes." Everyone was taught respectfully. "We will follow the great master's teachings and will never forget them!"
"After the water conservancy project is repaired, we can finally return to our jobs and make up for the things that have been left behind in the past six months as soon as possible!" Zhao Shouzheng waved his arm and decisively said: "Everyone reports, what else do you have to save on your hands?"
There was quiet under the hall.
The officials looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"Why, I even forgot about any errands I had?!" Zhao Shouzheng was angry again.
"Don't calm down." Wei Wenwei quickly explained: "It's really not a single official business in the yamen."
"Ah?" Zhao Shouzheng didn't believe it.
"Really, Master." Hu Sili of the household house nodded and agreed: "The villain has the most complicated business. When he went to work from the sixth to the tenth day of the lunar month, he thought he could do a few items. Unexpectedly, when he opened the Jiagekuan, he saw that all the files from last year were processed and archived. The errands of this year were not here, and he ended up doing nothing in those days..."
"Yes, Master." Xing Si Li of the torture room also said: "All the cases in this room have been concluded, and even the accumulated cases from many years ago have been completed. For this reason, the Southern Ministry of Personnel has specially commended the article."
"Oh?" Mr. Zhao widened his eyes. "Why don't I know about this kind of good thing?"
