"Master Zhang, this..."

After Zhang Chu and the young official in soap clothes surnamed Li came out of the Junchengguan Temple, the young official in soap clothes surnamed Li suddenly raised a big sleeve towards Zhang Chu with an embarrassed look on his face.

Zhang Chu knew what was under his sleeves, so he didn't reach out to pick it up. He just smiled lightly and said, "Master Li, you're so polite. Just think of it as a greeting gift."

Although this small official in soap clothes named Li was a bad official, he was Shi Anzai's personal entourage. Zhang Chu couldn't offend him for ten taels of silver. It was not worth it.

It may be difficult to get this kind of person to do something, but if you let him do something bad, everyone is a good hand.

It is already an established fact that he will become an official in the county government, and Zhang Chu must make plans for the future.

The soap-coated clerk surnamed Li couldn't tell whether Zhang Chu was pretending not to care or whether he really didn't care. He forced a smile and took a step towards him, about to put the silver coins hidden under his sleeves back into Zhang Chu's hands, "Don't dare.

, how can the subordinates accept..."

"alright!"

Zhang Chu was too lazy to push him back and forth to get some broken silver coins, so he simply took out another ten taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand, "We will be colleagues from now on. If Mr. Li is so polite to me... again, I will be so polite to you."

But let’s just pretend that Mr. Li doesn’t regard me as one of his own.”

"Okay, this is my first visit to the county government. Why don't you, Mr. Li, introduce me to the distribution of the various yamen in the county government?"

This time, the soap-clothed clerk named Li finally realized that this man was a wealthy and powerful man who didn't care about this little bit of money.

He put away the two ingots of silver with peace of mind, smiled warmly and cupped his hands towards Zhang Chu: "Master Zhang, don't call me the official anymore, it's too embarrassing. The official's surname is Li, and his name is a good character. Mr. Zhang

You might as well call me by my real name."

"Okay, Mr. Li."

"Master Zhang, please come here. Has Master Zhang seen the vermilion-red official temple?"

"I saw it."

"That was Master Di's official temple, Anwu Terrace. Now that Master Di is no longer in the county government office, Anwu has been granted the title."

"That black official temple is the north tower of Lord Nie's official temple. Lord Nie was not in the county government office, so it was closed."

"Master Li, where is the official temple of the county thief Caohou Juntanghou?"

"Oh, Master Hou's official temple? It's on the right side of your official temple and military headquarters."

"Oh, that's a coincidence..."

…

"Master Li, why are you free to come here today?"

Li Liang led Zhang Chu into the county military department, and a middle-aged scribe wearing a blue official uniform greeted him with a smile.

Zhang Chu took a look at the blue official uniform he was wearing. He was obviously a high-level official, but he took the initiative to salute Li Liang, a junior official in soap clothes. It seems that Shi An's move this time directly improved the level of civil servants.

The status of the county government!

After the middle-aged scribe greeted Li Liang, he looked at Zhang Chu and asked with searching eyes: "This is..."

Zhang Chu didn't look at him anymore, and turned his eyes to look at the official temple.

Each official temple in the county government is equivalent to an independent office building.

This Junbingcaoguan Temple is in the form of a quadrangle, about the size of two basketball courts. It faces the south and the north gate opens to the west, which seems to exclude the north from this place.

At this time, he was standing in the courtyard. There were weapon racks on both sides. There were some weapons commonly used in the army such as swords, guns, swords and halberds on them, indicating that the chief official of this official temple was a military general rather than a civil servant.

The lobby is located in the south, with red as the main tone, green tiles covering the roof, and two stone lions as tall as one person standing in front of the door, both of which look a bit majestic and murderous.

The houses on both sides of the lobby were slightly lower than the lobby, with small rooms separated in the middle. Zhang Chu counted fourteen rooms in total.

Looking at this posture, does it mean that there were a total of twelve lower-level officials under the county soldiers and cao during the heyday?

Zhang Chu couldn't help but recall the duties and powers of the county soldier cao.

The county soldier cao is in charge of the military affairs of the county, including but not limited to city defense, bandit suppression, water transportation, and Chidao management. He has jurisdiction over the city guard and the Xiang army.

Zhang Chu of the Xiang Army was not familiar with it, but Zhang Chu of the City Guard was familiar with it.

Jintianfu City Guards has 4,000 troops, led by four gate guards, and is divided into four main gates.

If the organization of the Xiang Army is similar to that of the City Guards, then the Xiang Army should also have four generals.

In addition to various clerical, logistics, axle load and other officials, the number is almost the same.

But now, except for the middle-aged scribe in front of him, there was actually no one in the official temple.

The Xiang army has gone to northern Xinjiang with the former county soldier Cao Song Tianqing, and the people of the Xiang army are no longer here.

In the previous episode, the Northern Barbarians' ferocious cavalry attacked Jintian Mansion from four gates at the same time. The city guards suffered serious casualties. Even the city gate guards were attacked and killed by the Northern Barbarians' insiders. I don't know who is still alive now...

Zhang Chu thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized that he, the acting county soldier responsible for the defense of Jintian Mansion, was actually an empty shell with neither many soldiers nor many generals under his command!

No wonder Shi Anzai forced him into the position of county soldier, with an attitude of "If you don't want it, I will be unhappy." It turned out that this position was basically a scapegoat.

Who takes the blame for who's misfortune...

Damn it, Hou Juntang, you cheated on me again!

After trying to figure out the key points, Zhang Chu's face suddenly turned dark.

"Master Liu, this is Mr. Zhang Chu, Mr. Zhang, the fake county soldier Cao recently appointed by Mr. Shi. Mr. Liu will inform you all soon that he is here to pay homage to Mr. Zhang!"

Li Liang introduced.

When the middle-aged scribe heard this, he quickly bowed his head to Zhang Chu and said respectfully: "Liu Shuxin, the chief secretary of the Military Department of Xiaguan County, pays homage to your lord."

The chief clerk, that is, the head of the clerk who handles documents, can barely be considered an official...

Zhang Chu reluctantly whispered: "Get up!"

"Thank you, sir."

Liu Shuxin straightened up, clasped his fists respectfully and asked, "Sir, do you want to raise your account?"

Zhang Chu pondered for a few breaths and said: "That's all, I'm here today to check in, so I won't raise any troops. I'd like to trouble Mr. Liu and send someone to inform you sirs to take stock of the affairs of the department. When I draw the Mao tomorrow,

Report to this official... I also ask Master Liu to tell all your lords to take stock clearly. If there are any untruths or omissions, everyone will be very unhappy!"

When Liu Shuxin heard this, he secretly glanced at Zhang Chu with a bit of contempt in his eyes.

When I first arrived, I didn't think of any way to win over my subordinates. Instead, I immediately settled old scores. At first glance, I knew that this was another man who entered the official career with the help of martial arts!

They old horses have countless ways to deal with this kind of simple-minded and well-developed limbs, forcing him to either bow his head or have no choice but to have fun in this yard!

Liu Shuxin was slandering in his heart, but he bowed his head without hesitation on his face: "Yes, I will send someone to inform you all."

Zhang Chu nodded, and finally raised his hand to Li Liang: "I'd like to trouble you, Mr. Li, to lead the way. I'll go home and rest first."

Li Liang returned the gift: "Your Majesty, your black gauze robe is fully equipped. Did someone send it to your house?"

"Then it will cause trouble for Mr. Li again."
