Chapter 050 County Primer
Lin Zimo's official document on the war situation reported to the government office was opened by the magistrate and immediately dumbfounded. 300 people in Pingnan County repelled 3,000 rebels. Although the governor of Xunzhou could not immediately distinguish the authenticity of this matter, he realized that the official document appointing Lin Zimo as the county magistrate of Pingnan County could no longer be suppressed. In this matter, after careful consideration, he finally made a quick decision to deal with it, in order to "add to the icing on the cake".
The official document of Xunzhou Prefecture was soon sent to the government office of Pingnan County, and Lin Zimo was immediately promoted from the main book of Zhengjiupin to the county magistrate of Zhengbapin. When the new Pingnan Zhixian County did not take office, he was in full charge of the affairs of the whole county. Lin Zimo, who read the official document of his appointment, was in a good mood and rewarded the servants who came to deliver the official documents.
The bookstore and the small officials who got the news in the government office came to Lin Zimo's government office to send gifts and congratulations like horse lanterns. They believe that sooner or later he will take the position of Pingnan Zhixian County, and the appointment of him as the county magistrate is only excessive. Although this group of people are classless, they have long been old fried dough sticks in the government. Their eyes are very sharp.
Wang Pengfei naturally doesn't want to fall behind. After all, he is Lin Zimo. If his " boss" is promoted, then his life in the county government will be better. Although he was only a catcher, the staff in the government knew that he was Lin Zimo's confidant. Since his master has been promoted, people naturally respect him more and more.
Wang Pengfei, who came in with gifts in his hands, saw that there were a lot of things in the room and expected that some colleagues had taken a step ahead of him. Putting down his things, he didn't say much, but walked to Lin Zimo's side with a kettle and added water to the cup beside him. Lin Zimo, who had noticed his arrival for a long time, did not stop his official business to talk to him.
After pouring the water, Wang Pengfei stood quietly until he saw that Lin Zimo was finishing his official duties and said, "Congratulations, Lord. Oh... Look, my mouth is really stupid. I used to shouting and couldn't change it."
Lin Zimo, who didn't mind at all, picked up the tea cup and smiled and said, "No, you'd better sit down and talk."
Wang Pengfei, who walked back a few steps, sat on the chair and said with a bright smile, "He Xi, Lord Lin was promoted to the position of county magistrate."
"Your news is very well-in-aped." Lin Zimo took a sip of tea and said lightly, "I haven't been idle here for half a day. I can understand why they came to give gifts. You are my man. There is no need to do that."
"Your excellency, I have to get involved in your nobleness." Wang Pengfei, who was in a good mood, said with a smile.
Lin Zimo, who looked happy, immediately laughed. He was not proud of his promotion, but felt that Wang Pengfei's words were a little interesting. What's so noble about me? I'm just doing what I should do. It is reasonable for him to be rewarded. Lin Zimo is an official who knows Pingnan County, but he is not so good. This is not a place for singing and dancing. I really have a feeling of governing the army and managing the people.
Zhao Wenxuan, who received the news late, also took a lot of gifts to congratulate Lin Zimo's rise. The two are brothers, so he is sincerely happy. Zhao Wenxuan's congratulations is not for the purpose of intermingling relationships, but the righteousness and affection between brothers. He is extremely concerned about this kind of relationship and relationship between himself and Lin Zimo.
"If you do this, our brothers will see each other." Lin Zimo looked at Zhao Wenxuan who came in and said, "You are all here, so I'll tell you the truth. This time, I can get the position of county magistrate, which is not due to guarding the city, but should be the previous deal between me and Zhang Chi. As for the defeat of the rebels, it has indeed played a catalytic role for me. I have written about the credit of both of you in the official document, and it must take some time to get a reply.
"Brother, you just blamed me for being outside." Zhao Wenxuan said, "I don't see my brother until I see him. Since you and I have become brothers, I absolutely believe in you. Brother, you don't have to think too much about this matter.
Wang Pengfei stood up and said hurriedly, "I believe that adults will definitely follow you for the rest of your life. In fact, I was a person with no merit. I just stood on the southern wall, blew the wind and looked at the scenery. As for the two adults, your credit is indeed not small. If it hadn't been for you in Pingnan County, it would have been out of place.
Lin Zimo said that in order not to make them think that they had monopolized the credit of defeating the rebels. I don't want to affect their relationship due to unnecessary misunderstandings. He clearly knew that the road ahead was still very long.
"This is the result of everyone's efforts. Wenxuan and I just did what we had done. Lin Zimo is modest.
"Big brother is right. We just did what we should do." Zhao Wenxuan echoed his words.
Wang Pengfei, who is deeply touched, has served many masters, and it is the first time he has seen such a modest adult. He was secretly proud that he felt that he had followed the right person. He felt that there were good officials like Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan in this county, which was a blessing for the people. Wang Pengfei firmly believes that people like them have an unlimited future, and this is just a temporary place for the two. Feeling that his identity was not suitable, he found a reason to say goodbye to Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan.
"Brother, why did you deal with people like Zhang Chi at the beginning?" The puzzled Zhao Wenxuan said what he thought in his heart, "People like him are really a complete scum and hypocrite."
Seeing that there are no outsiders here, only his brother Lin Zimo made his debut with Pan Tuo: "Being an official is also strategic. A clean official is not necessarily a capable minister, and a corrupt official may not be a good minister. Although Zhang Chi is indeed not a good bird, I found a chance to rise from him. From the bottom of my heart, I naturally don't want to be just a small landlord. Just like you don't want to be just like a small household.
Zhao Wenxuan, who is proficient in martial arts, is really not an actor, so he seems to understand his words. His brother-in-law and he are both ambitious men, which makes the hero feel naturally born. Lin Zimo is good at literature, and he is good at martial arts. Together, the two are the best combination of literature and martial arts.
Before leaving the government office, Lin Zimo found two powerful Si, hired a car, and moved home with the gifts given to him by everyone up and down the government office. When he had just entered his house, his buttocks were not hot, so he heard Wu's mother run in and say that someone came to worship him. He has known it for a long time, and his hand is making a gesture of invitation.
"Lin Jieyuan was promoted to the county magistrate of Pingnan County. I came uninvited and wanted to buy a glass of wine." Wang Fugui came in with a big belly and said with a smile on his face, "Is Lord Lin still used to living here? If I'm not used to it, I will live in a big house in the east of the city.
Lin Zimo, who asked people to serve him tea, thought that when you donated money, it was a three-stop. With this high promotion, he immediately came to pull relations and engage in political investment. This man really answered the sentence: If you don't see a rabbit, don't scatter an eagle. I'm not a rabbit. Of course, I won't get too close to you. However, you can't look like a Bodhisattva who doesn't eat the world's fireworks.
"It's very good here. Our whole family lives in a very habit." Lin Zimo said calmly, "I appreciate your kindness."
Wang Fugui, who is a little anxious, is the richest man in the county and has to deal with the people in the government. Your business and industry need to rely on the support and protection of the government. He doesn't want to be blackmailed by ruffians, scoundrels, unruly people and so on. Business people are not allowed to do anything that is uncompliant and illegal, otherwise there will be no profiteers.
The good relationship between Wang Fugui and Lin Zimo comes from interests rather than friendship. To put it bluntly, he made friends with Lin Zimo's seat, not himself. The little men who followed him sent gifts one after another. 30 pieces of fine silk and satin, 500 taels of silver, 20 pieces of all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, and 10 sets of high-quality rouge gouache.
Wang Fugui took out another land deed, a land deed and a house deed on the table from his sleeve, for fear that he would not accept it and said, "I know that Lord Lin's family has a large population, so I hope you have the right to accept it."
Lin Zimo slowly picked up the tea, his eyes did not squint, and said lightly, "This is not good! It's really not in line with me to take the salary of the court and collect your things.
"I'm friends and the same family. It's normal to give you some gifts." Wang Fugui, with an anxious expression, said, "The flat-headed people walk and congratulate each other to give gifts. Therefore, there is nothing inappropriate."
"You are really a person. Don't do this when you come to me in the future. Lin Zimo deliberately pretended to be a gentleman and walked through the motions and said, "Don't do it again, or you won't want to enter my door again."
"I remember it." Wang Fugui, who stood up, said naively, "Your Excellency's teaching is to make me better than ten years of reading."
The goal had been achieved, and he and Lin Zimo chatted with each other for a while, and then got up to leave. Lin Zimo looked at the property placed in front of him and thought that there would be no exception in the past. If I really don't accept Wang Fugui's gift. He won't think that he is as clear as water, and he will think that he is too little.
Wu's mother, who sent Wang Fugui away, returned to the front hall to ask for money and said, "Congratulations on your promotion. Mr. Hexi has risen to a higher level.
