Chapter 2840 county government

This time, they did not use official posts to enter the city, but queued up like other people to enter the city. In fact, they did not need to go through another passage. There were only so many people, and they entered the city after a while.

As soon as he entered, there was a street. Bai Shan lowered his eyes and looked at it. The road was fairly smooth, with some small stalls on both sides. There were not as many people walking around as Qingzhou City, but it was still orderly.

Bai Shan and Zhou Man simply dismounted and walked along the crowd, observing the situation in Beihai County along the way.

The colors of the clothes worn by the people here are less concentrated than in Qingzhou City, mostly gray and dark cyan. Bright colors are rare, but the faces of the people are still vivid. People walk slowly on the streets, occasionally three Groups of five leaned against each other and laughed.

Bai Shan walked along this street until he reached the gate of the county government office.

There will be fewer people in this area. The county government is facing the street, but there is a small square in front of it. There is a wall on the side. Post notices on the notice wall.

It's just that under normal circumstances, few people come to see the notice wall.

Bai Shan and Zhou Man handed over the horse to Daji and walked up to watch.

There were a lot of notices posted on the notice wall, there were wanted notices for arresting criminals, and notices advising Nongsang to teach lessons. The paper had turned yellow, and it should have been posted for a long time.

Looking at the latest piece of paper, it should be a notice notifying the court that a new county magistrate has been appointed, and further ahead is the notice that Lu County magistrate Gao Sheng has become the magistrate magistrate of Yidu County, and will be leaving Beihai County in a few days.

Bai Shan looked at it and nodded and said, "It seems that Magistrate Lu has indeed taken care of Beihai County well."

Man Bao nodded and looked at the yamen who kept looking at them. She lowered her voice and said, "They want to chase us?"

Bai Shan followed her gaze.

The two yamen guarding the gate of the county government noticed them long ago, and their eyes met each other. After a moment of stunned, the two yamen still walked over aggressively with the big knife on their waists in their hands, "What are you doing?"

Bai Shan felt that they were too fierce, and they just came to see the notice. Wouldn't such fierceness scare his people who wanted to see the notice.

So Jun said with a straight face: "Where's your Fang County Chief?"

The yamen also looked at his face, and the other party's clothes looked good, and there were so many carriages and servants behind him. Seeing that Bai Shan was not very good at speaking, they immediately changed their attitude and said: "Our county chief is in the yazhong. , who are you?"

Bai Shandao: "I'm your new county magistrate."

The expressions of the two of them were blank, and they glanced at the carriage and attendants behind them. After they came back to their senses, they immediately bent down and said respectfully, "It turns out that it is the magistrate, please come in, the little one will go and call the magistrate. "

After saying that, he left one person to greet Bai Shan and the others, and he ran into the county office to notify the county chief and others.

Fang Xiancheng and the others received news from Qingzhou City yesterday. They knew that the new magistrate was coming, and they also knew that the new magistrate Lu was entertaining them in Qingzhou City.

They thought that Bai Shan and the others would stay in Qingzhou City for two more days, so although they were preparing for the meeting, they didn't expect anyone to arrive.

So Fang Xiancheng hurriedly led people out to greet him.

Fang Xiancheng is a black-faced man in his thirties, even darker than the Dong Xianwei behind him. He doesn't seem to laugh often, so when facing Bai Shan, he twitched the corners of his mouth and found that his smile was not successful, so he just kept it straight. With a bow on his face, "Xiaguan has seen County Magistrate Bai."

With a slight smile on Bai Shan's face, he nodded and replied, "I'm new to this county, so I need your guidance and patience in the future."

Of course, it wasn't Bai Shan who said he was the magistrate, he was the magistrate, and there were still some procedures.

After entering the county office, Bai Shan took out his letter of appointment and official seal, checked that it was correct, and then looked at Zhou Man who was standing behind him, and said, "The county magistrate is tired, why don't you settle down first?"

Bai Shan nodded, "Let's settle down today, I still have work to do for you all."

Fang Xiancheng didn't dare, and took Bai Shan and the others to the backyard of the county government.

Generally speaking, county magistrates live in the backyard of the county government.

There is a small gate between the county office and the backyard, which is used by the county magistrate.

Therefore, everyone went out of the county office and went around to the back, where there was a large corner door, and the carriage could enter by dismantling the threshold.

In the future, the people of the Bai family will go in and out through this door.

There are two courtyards inside, but the place connecting the county government office in front is a small garden, but the small garden is bare, not to mention flowers, not even root vegetables, but some grass grows, and some places are left to be pulled out. Grass, someone is cleaning it up.

Fang Xiancheng quickly explained: "Knowing that the county magistrate Bai is coming to take office, the county government sent someone to clean up in advance, but everyone is slow, please don't blame the county magistrate."

Bai Shan smiled and nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, we'll take care of it slowly."

As he went to the back yard, he asked curiously, "I see there are only a few trees in the garden. Why doesn't the county magistrate plant flowers and plants when he is here?"

Fang Xiancheng said: "When the county magistrate first came here, he heard that the soil in Beihai County is not good for growing things. He didn't believe it, so he asked people to dig some soil and spread it in the garden. Later, some flowers and plants were planted and they did not survive. , the county magistrate simply stopped planting it."

Bai Shan: ... You can also choose to pave the soil, right?

Bai Shan nodded without commenting.

The two courtyards in the back are side by side. The main courtyard is relatively large, and there are helpers coming in and out. Bai Shan glanced at them and saw that they were scrubbing tables and chairs. Let them all retire, I have a lot of people with me, just go back and clean up."

He pointed to Liu Gui and introduced them: "This is my housekeeper Liu Gui."

Liu Gui immediately saluted them, and then followed a clerk to gather all the people in the backyard together.

The county government assigns helpers to the magistrates. There are not many, usually two or three. The wages are paid from the county magistrates, mainly to take care of the magistrates who take office alone.

After all, some county magistrates are poor, and they may have a servant with them, and that servant may also be a clan member.

The servants assigned by the county government are usually servants with a limited number of years. Beihai County has also assigned two to Bai Shan, a woman and an old man, but they are not from the same family. Washing, shopping, cleaning and cooking are very versatile. He has served five county magistrates, and is an old man of the county government in the true sense;

The old man was guarding the concierge. He didn't come here for a long time, only four years ago. He was hired by the county magistrate after he took office.

He was a lonely old man. Because he was homeless, he was left in the backyard of the county government by the county magistrate Lu, and he was always watching the door for the county magistrate Lu.

After seeing the two of them, Bai Shan handed over everything to Liu Gui, and Fang Xiancheng and the others set a time for Bai Shan to pick up the wind and wash the dust in the evening, and then they also left.
