Southern Song Dynasty small landlord

Chapter 147 Sincerity?

When Qin Shou and Zhang Xiaosong came to Fuzhi, they saw a man in his early fifties with a pot belly walking towards the Yamen at the gate of the mansion. Zhang Xiaosong followed behind Qin Shou and whispered: "He is the man. Sergeant Cao joins the army and pays loyalty."

Qin Shou nodded, he was really as good as he looked, he was not a good bird at first glance, this body was made of fat and oil, the two slowed down, and did not rush forward to greet Fu Zhong.

In the Song Dynasty, local administration was divided into two levels. The first level was the prefecture, state, army, and supervisor. It mainly had the post of magistrate (prefect) and general judge. If the ministry is repaired or abolished, you can directly write to the emperor.It is also regarded as "supervisory state".

There are six Caos under the state capital, who are the hands and feet of the prefect and the prefect. They perform their own duties and jointly help the prefect handle various government affairs.Sergeant Cao joined the army in charge of marriage, land, and fight lawsuits, and Qin Shou's purchase of land naturally found him.

The second level is the county level.Officials at the county level mainly include the county magistrate, county magistrate, master book and county lieutenant.It is called Lu above Fuzhou, and the officials at the Lu level include supervisors and commanders.This was the basic framework of local administration at that time.

Qin Shou was still very surprised that Zhang Xiaosong was able to get through the relationship between soldiers and Cao Junjun. Qin Shou didn't know that money played a role in this. Although this is a society with distinct levels, money is not the same thing. Zhang Xiaosong got Qin Shou His instructions were to run relationships at all costs, so he naturally chose this great god.

Look up and look at the three big characters on the plaque above the Yamen: Lin'an Mansion!Thinking that the entrance hall of Lin'an Mansion will be changed in a while, I don't know if it will be demolished and rebuilt after Zhao Gou comes.

I don't know who wrote the three big characters of Lin'an Mansion. They are full of grandeur and exude a majestic righteousness, but the current official history has exhausted this righteousness, so there is no trace of righteousness. At the same time, the management of these errands is lax enough. However, the news of Gao Wang's death hasn't come to light yet. Could it be that their family members don't know about the dark room?
"Master, shall we go in now?" Seeing Qin Shou staring at the plaque in a daze, Zhang Xiaosong asked aloud, looked at the plaque curiously, but found nothing unusual.

"Go in!" Qin Shou raised his foot and walked towards the gate of the mansion. Just as he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he was stopped by the servants.

Zhang Xiaosong came forward from behind, took out a bunch of copper coins from his sleeve and handed it over, said in a low voice, "We have an appointment with Mr. Fu, please let me know."

The yamen servant weighed the string of copper coins, nodded expressionlessly, exchanged glances with another yamen servant, then turned and walked inside.

Qin Shou sighed in his heart, this officialdom is really dark, before the door is entered, all kinds of little ghosts appear, look at how long this person stretches his hands, even if he has no money, he can't even enter the house, Zhang Xiaosong On the other hand, he looked accustomed to it. It seems that he has experienced many such things with Zhao Yulin during this period of time.

There are few employers in history who are as relaxed as Qin Shou, and they are not afraid that their subordinates will run away with money, and they will directly delegate power. I didn't think of it at first.

So Qin Shou has been proud of his vision for a long time. The real leader is nothing more than that. Standing on a high place, pointing at him casually, and having his younger brother charge forward, Qin Shou really gave birth to a feeling of elation.

The two of them didn't wait long before the yamen servant returned and stretched out two fingers at Qin Shou. Qin Shou put his hands behind his back and gave him a sideways glance without moving.It was Zhang Xiaosong who jumped out from the side, touched another string of copper coins and stuffed them into the hands of the yamen servant, and the yamen servant showed a smile on his face.

After collecting the money, the yamen servant said: "You two, please follow me."

"Thank you, big brother." Zhang Xiaosong thanked, stepped aside, and asked Qin Shou to go forward.

As the yamen servant moved forward, he crossed the gate and walked through the corridor, and soon turned into a quaint and atmospheric room. This is where Fu Zhong worked on business. Hearing footsteps, Fu Zhong who was in the room looked up and took a look. With a smile on his face.

He is in charge of marriage, land and other work in Lin'an Prefecture. These are lucrative jobs. Although the invasion of the Jin soldiers has brought great damage to Lin'an, but now that the Jin soldiers have retreated, he will be the uncle, and he will no longer have to worry about money. .

The guard knocked on the door panel twice and shouted: "Master Fu, someone will bring it here."

"Well, let them in!" Fu Zhong shouted in an official tone.

The guard responded, and pushed open the door to invite Qin Shou and the two to enter. Qin Shou walked into the room, raised his eyes to look, and intertwined with Fu Zhong's eyes in space. Flickering, Fu Zhong was stunned for a moment, then got up and said: "Official Qin, please sit down."

"Thank you, my lord!" Qin Shou bowed his hands and saluted, and sat down opposite Fu Zhong without any politeness, and Fu Zhong was stunned again.

Standing behind Qin Shou, Zhang Xiaosong wiped a cold sweat from his heart. He felt that Qin Shou was not as good as himself in dealing with officials. Is this because he is too sincere or he doesn't know how to be modest?Zhang Xiaosong lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, thinking that Qin Shou was too honest, otherwise he wouldn't have delegated authority in everything.

Qin Shou sat down and saw Fu Zhong standing there in embarrassment. He felt happy and said, "Master Fu, please sit down. You already know the reason for our visit. When do you think it will be settled?"

Fu Zhong smiled awkwardly, sat down, and looked sideways at Zhang Xiaosong.

Zhang Xiaosong cupped his hands at Fu Zhong and said, "Master Fu, I will do as you suggested before, and I will be thankful after it is done."

Well, Fu Zhong nodded, looked at Qin Shou's immature face, and asked, "Is this your young master's?"

Zhang Xiaosong laughed a few times, and said: "This is our boss, no matter what happens, the boss can make the decision, so don't worry, Mr. Fu."

Oh!Fu Zhong nodded, thinking in his heart that the high-sighted master in front of him should be a petty official who came out for a trial. He didn't know much about human affairs. Thinking about it this way, Fu Zhong felt that Qin Shou's behavior could be explained. Makes sense.

However, Fu Zhong couldn't figure out the background of this Qin Shou, so he didn't dare to make things difficult for Qin Shou. Anyway, he can get it if he has money, no matter what his background is, he looked at Qin Shou with his big eyes staring around. Looking at him, as if he had never seen the world, Fu Zhong wondered again, does this person really have a background?
Qin Shou, who was staring at the room decorations, didn't know that Fu Zhong's mind had changed several times in this short period of time. Speaking of which, Qin Shou was not frightened by the room decorations, but surprised.

This room is too clean, except for a table and a few chairs, there is only a three-dimensional cabinet, there is no calligraphy or painting of famous people, it is too shabby compared to the furnishings in the previous life.

Looking at Fu Zhong's big belly, Qin Shou wondered if Fu Zhong had eaten the things in this room. How could there be such a poor office space?
