Chapter 171 I Came Quietly
The Anton Province is located in the northeast of Great Chu, with its capital called Anzhou. The entire Anton is not big, and Anzhou is similar to some small and medium-sized cities in the mainland. Every spring, strong winds blow sand and attack Anzhou, and Anzhou can be covered with an inch of sand overnight. Because of the harsh climate of Anzhou and it is an area that is attacked on three sides, it is so poor that it is very poor. Every year, the imperial court needs to support money and food to survive.
Perhaps the sandstorm has been raging all year round, and the entire city of Anzhou looks very old. The town governor's yamen in the Inspection and Affairs Office is located at the north end of Anzhou Central Street. This is a dilapidated yamen. If it weren't for the seven big words "Anzhou Branch Office of the Inspection and Affairs Office" written on the plaque, if it weren't for the two lazy wolf-toothed officers and soldiers at the door holding spears and leaning against the door to eat melon seeds and chatting about family matters, this place would look similar to the old ancestral hall of a dilapidated family.[bsp;
There are not many pedestrians on the street. The central street is full of Anzhou's official yamen. From south to north, the more eye-catching yamen are the Andong Governor's Office, the Anzhou General's Office, and the Department of the Inspection and Affairs Office. Don't think that the Department of the Inspection and Affairs Office is the most broken storefront. There are many institutions of the yamen on this street, and the characters on the plaque can no longer be seen clearly. When the door is pushed, it will creak and the door panel will sway as if it is about to fall off.
Qin Fei and his group did not receive the guessed courtesy.
The officers and soldiers guarding the Anzhou city gate lazily checked Qin Fei's appointment letter, and then pointed to the direction of the Central Street, too lazy to take some roads.
All the officials in Anzhou chose to ignore the arrival of Qin Fei, the new supervisor of the Procuratorate Office, and made Qin Fei feel cold that he seemed to have arrived at the prefecture of Wu.
Standing in front of the branch office of the Inspection Office, Qin Fei looked at the dilapidated yamen and smelled the decay smell that emanated from the door, and couldn't help but raise his thick eyebrows.
The wolf-fanged officers and soldiers guarding the door saw a group of people wearing inspection hall uniforms coming, and they were a little more regular. They knew that a new town supervisor would take office in the past few days, and that was the big boss of the future, so they didn't want to offend him.
Qin Fei's group was very simple and basically maintained the configuration of going to northern Xinjiang.
Li Hunu was received by Governor Yi. During that meeting, Governor Yi said sincerely to Li Hunu: "I know you were the general before, and it would be useless to ask you to be a Tongzhi Governor in Anton. However, Anton's geographical location determines his importance. Our inspection office needs a general who can conquer and fight and command troops. The highest commander of the wolf teeth troops in a province is Tongzhi Governor, who wants to accept the jurisdiction of the provincial town governor. I don't want to force you, please seriously consider whether you are willing to go to Anton and assist Qin Fei."
Unexpectedly, Li Hunu only asked: "How many people are Andong Langya? I can't take care of the lack of soldiers."
Governor Yi smiled and said, "Anton has a large number of troops, and nearly three thousand wolf teeth are distributed throughout Andong. In the past, when you were the general of the first town, you had more than 10,000 people. Three thousand people may be a little short. I can allow you to recruit troops on the spot and expand them to five thousand."
At that time, Qin Fei stood aside and didn't find anything strange. Later, he learned that the number of the Wolf Tooth troops was strictly limited, and the Office of Survey itself had great power. If the direct army was stronger, it would be an unsuppressible monster. Governor Yi allowed the increase of troops to 5,000 in Anton, which means that he had to find a way to dismiss two thousand in other places... It was simple to increase troops, and as long as money was given, someone would be willing to join the army, and could be dismissed...
Li Hunu happily accepted the position of Tongzhi Governor of the Wolf Teeth Army and became the leader of Andong Wolf Teeth.
Another important person who followed Qin Fei to Andong was He Kun. After making contributions in the northern border, He Kun had the opportunity to be a small official in another place. However, He Kun's young experience does not mean that the He family has no political vision. The He family recognized Qin Fei as the future giant of the Procuratorate Office and would also be an important figure in the court in the future, and his status is likely to reach and surpass that of the current Governor Yi. Therefore, the He family firmly sent He Kun back to the Procuratorate Office. After the assessment of the teaching department, he believed that the cunning He Kun was very suitable to serve as a liaison officer in the branch office.
The branch office of the Procuratorate Department is mainly responsible for supervising whether officials are corrupt or abused, monitoring the army, and paying attention to the civilian dynamics. If someone sets up a mountain and becomes a bandit, the Procuratorate Department is too lazy to care about them, it is usually handed over to local governments and troops to wipe out. But if someone raises the banner to rebel, or calls himself a king or an emperor, even if there are only thirty or fifty people, the Procuratorate Department will use the wolf teeth troops to destroy it without hesitation.
Because of the functions of the branch office, there are many opportunities to deal with Anton's various yamen. This requires a liaison officer who is cunning and can act like a rogue and not afraid of trouble, and can appear for the town supervisor.
He Kun is not a fool. He went to another place to be a minor official and definitely did not have the prospect of following Qin Fei. Although he had to suffer some hardships and risky to come to Anton, there was nothing in the world that could benefit without giving anything. Looking at the emperor's glory, ask them about the dangers in the battle for the throne, which is no less than being the first in the formation of thousands of troops!
Zhou Liyuan is an old acquaintance of Qin Fei. He is honest, does things well, and has extremely good skills. With Zhou Liyuan as the captain, he led ten good players from the Executive Office to serve as Qin Fei's guard.
Logically speaking, it is difficult to find someone better than Qin Fei in Anton. The guard team is just a decoration. However, the official has the dignity of an official. Pang Zhen is the best master in the world. If a madman runs to Pang Zhen and howls and wants to fight one-on-one, would he really need Pang Zhen to slap him out? Of course, it is the guards around him who will do it for him! Besides, these ten people are not from the teaching department, but the executive department, which is very telling - they can be bodyguards or assassins!
And the one in the team has nothing to do with this line is the poor Ninth Princess.
Your Majesty said that the Ninth Prince was mainly subject to Qin Fei's supervision, and of course, Ajiu would go wherever Qin Fei went. In fact, the little abacus in Emperor Chu's heart was rumbling. It was not easy to find a few well-deserved women in Andong, a place where Andong was not shitty. Ajiu was also a beauty, and she would have some feelings for her for the same term as Qin Fei and stayed in Andong for the same term. If Qin Fei had an impulse to force him to take the blame, Emperor Chu would never mind. He would have a stern face and give Qin Fei two ways, one was to be the son-in-law, and the other was to kill him. He believed that Qin Fei knew how to choose!
Li Hunu, the former general of the first town in the northern border, was the first nine princess of the Great Chu Empire, He Kun, the second generation young master of the He family in the court, plus the most outstanding genius in the Chu State, and Qin Fei, the youngest governor of the Inspection Office...
These four people stood at the door of the branch office and felt that they could not find their presence at all. The whole of Anzhou chose to ignore them!
Qin Fei's thick eyebrows slowly fell down, and a figure snatched out of the branch gate, shouting loudly: "It's true that the governor of Qin Zhen is here... I'm hoping to die of old brother..."
Qin Fei had read the information. The governor of Andong Town was named Cai Xuewu. His name was a bit feminine, but he was a burly man. According to the information of the Inspection Office, Cai Xuewu was a scout of the army before. Because of his outstanding performance, he was transferred to the Inspection Office. He started as an inspector and continued to be a governor. However, this person's talent was at most a talent for governors. In the complex place of Andong, Cai Xuewu suffered a lot. He wrote reports every few days to ask to return to Dongdu. Even if he was demoted to be a governor of Tongzhi, he was willing to do so.
Because there was no suitable candidate to come to Anton, Cai Xuewu, who was familiar with the environment, was forcibly suppressed by Anton. Until Qin Fei rose like a comet, Governor Yi fulfilled his wish - to demote him back to Dongdu and become Qin Fei's position, and the old case office Tongzhi Governor. Qin Fei came to Anton with a swagger.
Cai Xuewu enthusiastically pulled Qin Fei's arm and greeted everyone behind him: "All of you are invited in, come in, and let me talk to you when I and the governor of Qin Zhen are handed over!"
Qin Fei was forced to walk into the branch office by him. The entire office was indeed very old and dilapidated. Many paper windows were broken, and the lime painted on the wall fell, revealing the green bricks inside.
Pushing open a door with paint off, Cai Xuewudang walked in first, pointed to four stacks of official documents on the table and said, "Governor Qin Zhen, I have already dealt with the official documents here. From left to right, they are the personal information of the department, the files of Anton's officials, the equipment of Anton's military and generals, and the last stack are the likely active Wei Wuzhang and the spies of the northern border."
Cai Xuewu opened the drawer and took out the seal. Suddenly, he seemed to have put down a thousand kilograms of huge rocks. He let out a long sigh and laughed wildly: "Director Qin Zhen, it's great that you are here. The old brother can finally leave this ghost place!"
"Not it?" Qin Fei frowned: "After this, he is the highest official of a province. When you return to Dongdu, you have been demoted!"
"Brother... Oh, I won't say anything anymore. After you become the governor for a few days, you will understand!" Cai Xuewu was obviously in a terrible mood and said, "Where is Anton? Look at the Anton government taking our inspection office seriously? When you arrived in Anzhou, none of them went to see you. The officialdom is concerned about face, but they don't give us the inspector's face at all. I'm not going to greet you, but no one told me. The inspection office is ours, and no one told me. Do you know how difficult it is to be the governor?"
Qin Fei comforted himself: "Fortunately I brought my team."
"Don't think that's useful." Cai Xuewu opened another drawer, took out a box, and handed it to Qin Fei: "Brother, the first problem you need to solve when you take office is your salary this month."
"What's the meaning?"
Cai Xuewu smiled and said, "Fortunately, I will stop working today. I hope you will be in this burden. The local inspection department needs salary this month, so there will be a total of 19,450 taels. In this box, all the money left over from our division!"
"Is there a silver note inside?" Qin Fei took the box as big as a palm.
