Chapter 789 Changshui Baixian Cheng (Continued)
Everyone in the county government today felt that something was wrong, mainly because Li Hua, the censor who seldom came to the county on weekdays, had been in the county government a few hours ago, and it was said that he was waiting for the county magistrate to finish his official duties.

However, many officials think that this is just an excuse. In their eyes, this Li Hua is not easy to provoke. Although the other party's official position is not high, but he is a censor. Even if the county magistrate makes a mistake, he can directly stab him Going up, the county magistrate couldn't eat and walk around, so other officials usually hide if they can.In the entire Changshui county mansion, the only exception is Baixian magistrate, and when it comes to Baixian magistrate, everyone in the county mansion admires and is in awe.

Although he is only the second in command of Changshui County, in fact, many things cannot be done without the nod of Baixian Cheng. Because of this, the county magistrate Zhu Sanjiang was quite dissatisfied with Baixian Cheng, and he fought openly and secretly for a while.

Now that Zhu Sanjiang was in the study hall, his expression was a bit unsightly.

"Although Li Hua is the censor, he just stays in the courtyard of the county government for nothing. This is not a problem. The officials below are all terrified, and they don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Li Hua's gourd." At this time, the secretary whispered beside him.

Zhu Sanjiang waved his hand: "If he wants to stay there, let him stay. He is the censor and has the authority to supervise the officials of the place he belongs to. What are you afraid of? As long as you act according to official duties and enforce the law impartially, the censor cannot How are you."

"What the county magistrate said is true!" The chief registrar nodded hurriedly, and then changed the subject: "But having said that, Li Hua and Bai Xiancheng are a little close recently. I'm afraid there is something tricky inside."

The chief registrar is not young, and he looks like an old man in the officialdom. He said this now, obviously there is something in his words.

Zhu Sanjiang frowned: "If you want to say something, just say it, don't play tricks on me."

The master hurriedly said: "Recently, the Baixian Cheng wants to implement a policy of streamlining officials. You know about this matter, and you have already opposed this view in the county government last time, but Baixian Cheng also has a lot of officials. It's unreasonable, even though it didn't pass in the end, but I don't think Baixian Cheng intends to let it go, maybe Li Yushi came here because of this matter."

When the registrar said so, he naturally had his own ideas.

In his opinion, the method of streamlining the officials of the Bai County Prime Minister is absolutely unacceptable. If you want to know, on his own side, many relatives and friends borrowed his relationship to enter the county government to make a living.

And if you say it, it's a big face, and it's an 'iron rice bowl', stable, don't look at the businessmen who are doing business outside, so what?There are profits and losses in doing business, but in being an official, you can make profits without losing money.So for them, this official position, even if it is just a small official, is not in the mainstream, but as long as they have an official status, they will have a salary, and even if they don't work, they can eat and drink without worrying about it.

In addition to relatives and friends, the Registrar is actually secretly buying and selling the seats of some small officials, and the price is quite astonishing. Among them, the seats of county government officials and fast arresters are the most sought-after. After all, this is not a border state. If it is a border state, the selection criteria for county army officers and officers is extremely strict, and no one dares to play tricks on this matter, but inland states, especially rich places like Huzhou, have no foreign invasion. So it has to be a lot more relaxed, which also gives him a chance.

It is conceivable that in the eyes of the chief registrant, what Bai Xiancheng wants to do is not only to cut off his money, but also to push him to death. That is the enemy of life and death, so if there is a chance to deal with Bai Xiancheng, The registrar will never be soft-hearted.

What's more, the Registrar knew that Zhu Sanjiang, the county magistrate, had darker hands and feet than himself, and secretly arranged more seats. Therefore, they are now grasshoppers on the same rope and must be unanimous to the outside world.

As a county magistrate, Zhu Sanjiang's official position is higher than that of the Chief Registrar. Naturally, his level is also higher. How can he not see what the other party thinks and worries.

"You, think too much, no matter whether the surnamed Bai has any ideas, even if he has any ideas, what's the use of finding Li Hualai? What's more, he is crazy to want to streamline the current officials. I also feel that this surnamed Bai has some abilities. Now it seems that he is just an unrealistic lunatic. Who does he think he is? A mere county magistrate dares to touch this kind of thing. Let alone him, it is me. Even the magistrate of our city mansion, even the governor of Huzhou state capital, would never dare to make such an opening, it would offend all the officials in the world, so I said, ignore them, they want to make trouble and toss, let it go They go, and in the end, they either do nothing or get burned."

Obviously, looking at the level of the problem, this Zhu Sanjiang is obviously higher, and the analysis is more thorough.

Hearing this, the Registrar was also relieved, and secretly despised the Baixian Cheng in his heart. In addition, he thought about it again, and felt that it would be good for the other party to make things bigger, because if he insisted on doing this matter of streamlining officials, it would definitely hurt the other party. If the official position is not guaranteed, and the other party loses his official position at that time, won't the county magistrate's seat be vacant?At that time, is there any possibility for him to be in the top position?

Thinking of this, the Registrar became a little excited.

He has been in the county government for more than ten years, and it has been a long time since he reached the position of chief bookkeeper. If he can seize the opportunity this time and continue to move up a level, to the position of county magistrate, that would be even better.

Moreover, I heard that Zhu Sanjiang has a backer in the city mansion, maybe in three to five years, Zhu Sanjiang will be transferred to the city mansion, then, the county magistrate of Changshui County is not his own pocket in the middle?

Thinking of the excitement, the Registrar's face flushed, and he was already imagining the future.

Li Hua is still waiting, the Baixian Cheng has a lot of affairs, the county magistrate Zhu Sanjiang is very good at employing people, and has handed over many tedious things in the county to the Baixian Cheng, but he himself is quite relaxed.And recently, in the county government, it seems that there is a lot of rejection of the Baixian Cheng. It is difficult to catch them. Some people have not learned the serious skills, such as this crooked way, but they are all self-taught.

Li Hua knows all these things, but it's really hard to get their evidence like this kind of procrastination, and if officials violate the official law, this matter is the matter of the censor, but other ambiguous things, his censor History doesn't matter.

Li Hua is also aware of the recent situation in the county government, and also knows why Bai Xiancheng encountered this kind of "squeeze", but the more he encountered this kind of predicament, the less he had the intention of retreating and compromising. Why, the reason why Li Hua respected and admired Bai Xiancheng so much.

From Li Hua's point of view, it is really a bit of a shame for the Baixian Cheng to stay here as an eighth-rank county magistrate.

Li Hua had always been worried before, but the strange thing that happened today, the mysterious visitor, made him feel that Bai Xiancheng is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

Now Li Hua boldly guesses that the mysterious visitor is likely to be the example of the literati, and now the second-rank immortal official Shangshu Ling Chuxian of the Shoufu Pavilion, if it is really this Lord Chu, then everything will be nothing up.

But Li Hua felt that he might be thinking too much.

How could a fairy official like Master Chu Xian appear in a small county like Changshui?This is something unimaginable, and if it is true, how dare Bai Xiancheng speak to Lord Chu in such a tone?

This is also impossible.

So now Li Hua was extremely curious and a little apprehensive. He only hoped that Bai Xiancheng would finish the matter soon so that he could ask himself clearly.

After waiting for a long time, Baixian Cheng finally came out, Li Hua hurried to meet him when he saw this.

"Master Bai." Li Hua saluted, and Bai Xiancheng's face was a little tired, but he still nodded and said, "Master Li, what are you doing here?"

"Li Hua, I have something to ask Mr. Bai for advice." Li Hua looked around at this time, and found that this was not a good place to talk about, so he took a step to speak. Bai Xiancheng probably thought of what the other party wanted to ask, so They also nodded, and the two left the county government one after the other.

Many officials behind were pointing and discussing secretly.

"This county magistrate, this county magistrate's seat, I'm afraid he won't be able to sit for long. Let's see how long he can be proud."

"Who says no? He was only the second in command, but he dared to propose such a whimsical, even naive and ridiculous idea. I think he didn't regard himself as a county prime minister, but as a prime minister."

"Hahahaha, it's really ridiculous. I don't know how this kind of person got the seat of the county magistrate, but it seems that that's all. This Changshui County is still for Mr. Zhu, just to curry favor with the master. My lord, it's better than leaning on this county magistrate who is about to die."

The eaves of the sunset, the sun sets.

The scenery in Changshui County is very good. There are more than a dozen stone bridges in the clear water river in the county. and beauty.

Li Hua followed behind Baixian Cheng, and tried to speak up several times, but he didn't have the courage.

Just halfway there, Bai Xiancheng spoke first.

"I know what you want to ask, Mr. Li. To be honest, in Changshui County, you are superior to others in terms of literary talent and knowledge. You are also a talent to be made. If you are not too pedantic, you will go well in the future." Farther away, the stage where you can display your mind and ambition will be even bigger. Now, you can ask nothing. I will give you a chance. If you want to display your ambition in your heart and contribute more to the holy dynasty, think If you want to stand on a higher stage and do something truly meaningful, then follow me back and you will know who that person is. Of course, if you don’t want to and just want to live a peaceful life, I won't force you either, now that you go back, act as if you don't know anything."

This is equivalent to giving Li Hua a choice.
