Chapter 1044: The New Official's Three Fires
On the sixth day of April, it was another sunny day.
Liu Ji was so excited last night that he didn't go to bed until midnight, but was suddenly awakened by the sound of a cloud board in his sleep.
However, there was a kind of trance that reminded him of the time when he was the county magistrate. At that time, because he had to get up every day to make breakfast, he would often hear the sound of bamboo boards.
"Master, it's time to get up!" A plump and beautiful woman, with eyes like the moon and a figure full of feminine curves, reminded her softly, leading several maids in.
When Liu Ji saw Yun Niang's appearance, he knew that this was not the county government of the past, but the No. 1 government in the world - Shuntian Prefecture. He was no longer a small seventh-rank county magistrate, but a high-ranking third-rank Shuntian Prefecture Yin.
.
Yun Niang looked at Liu Ji's wandering look, but she smiled happily, as if she had guessed something, and waved her hand to the maid to put the copper basin on the table and put the towel into the copper basin filled with warm water.
Under Yun Niang's service, Liu Ji washed himself, changed his clothes, and put on his brand-new set of third-grade official robes. He looked in high spirits. Looking at Yun Niang's affectionate gaze, his heart immediately
There was a kind of excitement, but it was a meaningful look at Yun Niang.
Like most officials, his wife stayed at home to serve his parents, so he also lived a life of separation. Yun Niang, who always accompanied him, was his concubine, given to her by the Lianghuai salt merchants.
Although Yun Niang's family is in decline, she can be considered to be from a wealthy family. She is knowledgeable and courteous, and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a good companion for him. If he hadn't found an excuse, he would have divorced his family.
Wife, help Yun Niang to the main room.
"Master, it's ready!" Yun Niang thoughtfully helped arrange the clothes, but reminded her softly.
Liu Ji also looked at himself with satisfaction, and then glanced at Yun Niang, who had driven countless men crazy, and then walked outside with official steps.
After having breakfast, he walked from the back house towards the court hall. He did not stop at the second hall, but passed through the Yin Gong Gate and went directly to the lobby.
The officials in the hall had already arrived. He first glanced at the subordinate officials standing in the hall, nodded politely, then walked into the courtroom and sat down in front of the long case.
"Greetings to Mr. Fu Yin!"
All the officials saluted politely, senior officials bowed, and the lower-level officials, clerks and yamen servants all knelt down politely, demonstrating the supreme status of Liu Ji, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture.
Liu Ji sat on the chair in the lobby with high spirits, looking full of energy. Looking at the crowd of people kneeling down below, a feeling of pride suddenly arose spontaneously.
A month ago, he was just a small seventh-rank engineering major responsible for supervising the Wanshou Palace project; a few days ago, he was a fourth-rank Taichang Temple Shaoqing with only a part-time job.
But as if in a dream, he is now sitting in the lobby of Shuntian Mansion, becoming a high-ranking third-rank Shuntian Mansion Yin, with hundreds of subordinate officials, scribes and yamen under his command.
Now he is the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, and the next step is to be the Minister of the Sixth Division. The next step is to compete for the throne of the Secretariat of the Sixth Division, which makes him full of unlimited daydreams about his official career.
Of course, due to his background, he may never want to join the cabinet and become a prime minister in this life.
Huh?
The admin officer in the courtyard was kneeling obediently, but gradually he realized that it had been a while, so he secretly raised his head and saw Liu Ji sitting on it with a silly smile on his face.
This is not the majestic Shuntian Fuyin, he is clearly a... fool.
Why……
Dai Tongpan looked at this scene and shook his head gently.
Although the newly-appointed Shuntian Prefecture Yin came from a scholarly background, he was definitely wrong if he really thought he could easily dominate the Shuntian Prefecture.
As soon as he thought about this, he turned to look at Lin Haoran. He always felt that Liu Ji's appointment seemed to be too smooth, and Lin Haoran did not seem to be sitting back and waiting for death, and he might have some other options.
Lin Haoran, who was wearing a crimson official robe, was sitting on the seat. He looked very peaceful, and there was no abnormality on his fair face. He didn't seem to mind at all that his position as Shuntian Prefecture Yin was taken away.
But when this scene fell into the eyes of all the officials, they had different feelings. One was intoxicated, and the other was extremely calm. It was hard to say who lost and who won. This Liu Ji may not be the second Huang Zhongda.
"Everyone, get up!"
Liu Ji quickly reacted and said to everyone with a smile. But while he was speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Haoran, knowing that this person would become his biggest obstacle to governing Shuntian Mansion.
Sun Tongxuan carried out the personnel count as usual. Except for Mo Fei, the official who was sent to Songjiang to investigate the case, all other officials were present, which was considered as giving the new governor a lot of face.
It was Liu Ji's first official appearance in front of the public, and he spoke eloquently: "I am in charge of Shuntian Mansion. I am responsible for repairing water conservancy, cultivating virtues among the people, making exiles peaceful, getting rid of thieves, relieving the poor, and prosecuting prison cases."
, However, it is difficult for me to do my job with my own strength, so I hope you can work together to help me!"
Hearing these remarks, all the officials had become accustomed to it, and even Judge Dai Tong couldn't help but yawn.
Chen Tongpan had already fallen in love with Liu Ji, and the people nearby had their eyes lit up and almost clapped their hands.
But at this moment, Liu Ji suddenly changed the subject and said: "Prime Minister Lin, are you willing to help me?"
"I'm willing to be a lower official!" Lin Haoran answered Liu Ji's eyes in a polite manner.
The corners of Liu Ji's mouth raised slightly, but he nodded slightly and smiled: "Very good! Lin Fuyin, you are from the local area, so you are certainly no stranger to water conservancy matters. From now on, you will be responsible for the water conservancy construction of Shuntian Mansion!"
Dai Tongpan is a veteran in the officialdom. He immediately smelled the conspiracy and was about to speak out to stop it, but Lin Haoran smiled and saluted: "I obey my orders!"
Liu Ji suddenly felt happy and continued casually: "Prime Minister Lin, since you are already responsible for water conservancy, you are inevitably unable to do anything else. Let Chen Tong handle this public security matter!"
The word "huan" undoubtedly reveals a lot of information, and makes the matter of picking fruits reasonable. This is indeed an official with a background in science and technology.
Liu Tongpuan swallowed secretly and couldn't help but look at Lin Haoran worriedly. The public security was already different from what it used to be. Due to the expansion of personnel, even the Jin Yiwei dared to challenge others. They were already a force that cannot be underestimated in the capital.
"Liu Fuyin, I'm afraid you don't know something when you first come here! The current effectiveness of public security in the capital is all due to Lin Fucheng. If he is handed over to Liu Tong, I am afraid that he will be like in the past, making the capital a mess.
