PFC Chapter 288 Lin Xiaofan is the county magistrate?
Chapter 288 Lin Xiaofan is the county magistrate?
"Oh, who did I ask? It turned out to be Brother Lin. Song Shang, you kid still knows how to come back to see me."
The boss warmly welcomed the two of them into the house, and then made tea for them.
However, Lin Xiaofan noticed something strange. Bao Tianqing was limping when he walked. It was obvious that his leg was injured.
"Tou Bao, who hurt you like this?"
Lin Xiaofan asked with concern.
Could it be that there are bandits making trouble again in Degao County?
He had seen Bao Tianqing's strength before, he could dance with a spear, use a sword, ride a horse and shoot an arrow. If prepared, a dozen ordinary people might not be able to defeat him. And there's no fighting around here, so the only ones who can hurt him are rogue bandits.
From now on, he will be the magistrate of Degao County. If there are rogue bandits, they must be eradicated as soon as possible.
"There were rogue bandits in Minfeng County next door. I happened to be there on business at the time. I couldn't stand them, so I led a few officers and soldiers to fight. As a result, one of the bandits with a bow and arrow shot a cold arrow while I wasn't paying attention, wounding me. It’s up to me.”
"But this is strange. This year is obviously a good harvest year, and people have enough food in their homes. There shouldn't be many people who want to go to the mountains to become bandits. But in just half a year, nearly a hundred bandits have developed in Minfeng County. .”
"According to their county magistrate, the leaders of this group of bandits are so skilled that they cannot defeat three or four officers and soldiers. Coupled with a few bows and arrows in their hands, six or seven police officers in Minfeng County have died. ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan's eyebrows wrinkled. The distance between the two counties is not far. If these bandits develop further, they might attack Degao County. This thing is definitely a disaster.
"This is a matter in the county next to them, and we can't get involved. Fortunately, the front line has stabilized, and we can send some troops to encircle and suppress the bandits. Let's not mention this matter. Brother Lin, I heard that there is a businessman in Minfeng County who has some A lot of sulfur. He said he would be coming to Degao Town in two days and would come find you then. Brother Lin, you are still in Lijiazhuang, right?"
Bao Tianqing said.
"Thank you, Brother Bao. I have moved to Degao Town."
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan opened his mouth to answer.
"It's better to move here. There are city guards here, so it's safer. Although Brother Lin, your guards are very strong, but you should be more cautious in this era. If you encounter anything in the county in the future, just come to me. I will As a head catcher, I still have some say in this county."
Bao Tianqing patted his chest and said.
Hearing this, Song Shang almost laughed out loud. If something happens, it's unclear who will help whom.
As a head catcher, Bao Tianqing had some status in Degao County, but compared to Lin Xiaofan, he was obviously not good enough.
Lin Xiaofan is now the magistrate of Degao County, with a higher official position than Bao Tianqing. In terms of prestige in people's hearts, Lin Xiaofan had just repelled an army of 200,000 soldiers a few months ago, which could be regarded as helping all the people of Qingzhou to prevent a disaster.
Seeing that Lin Xiaofan's expression remained unchanged, he resisted the thought of telling the matter.
"By the way, Brother Lin, where is your address? I will ask the businessman to find you then."
Bao Tianqing asked.
"I now live in the former county magistrate's compound."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"The place where the county magistrate used to be? Brother Lin, you actually bought the whole place. I'm afraid that house is not cheap, right?"
Hearing this, Bao Tianqing was shocked.
He had seen that courtyard once, and it was considered one of the best in Degao County. Not only is the location good, it also occupies a large area.
Now Lin Xiaofan can actually afford to buy that house.
While several people were chatting, the knock on the door rang again.
"I'll go."
Song Shang quickly stood up and opened the door. Bao Tianqing and Lin Xiaofan were both injured and had difficulty moving.
The door opened, and a pretty figure stood at the door, it was Zhao Shan.
"Baotou, our new county magistrate..."
Halfway through her words, Zhao Shan noticed Lin Xiaofan sitting beside him, with a bit of surprise on his face.
"Brother Lin, you are here too. I happen to be looking for you. When you take office, I plan to hold a banquet for you so that you can get to know the famous people in Degao County. Do you have time when you can? ?”
After Lin Xiaofan became the county magistrate, he would inevitably have to deal with these people in the future. It was necessary to hold a banquet to let them get to know each other in advance.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaofan thought for a moment. Although he had a lot to do now, it didn't matter. But if we do it today, it will be a bit hasty.
"How about tomorrow night?"
"Tomorrow night is okay. It just so happens that you will take office tomorrow and there will be a banquet in the evening."
Zhao Shan opened her mouth and settled the matter.
"Wait a minute, Miss Zhao Shan, Brother Lin also wants to be an official in Degao Town?"
Bao Tianqing reacted and asked.
He thought about it carefully, Lin Xiaofan had made such great contributions, and his official position must be quite high. There are not many positions in this county. The only high-level ones are a county magistrate, a county magistrate, a bookkeeper, a police officer...
There are people in other positions, but the position of county magistrate is vacant. So, could it be that Lin Xiaofan is the county magistrate?
"Yes, Brother Lin will be the magistrate of Degao County from now on. You must cooperate with his work well."
Zhao Shan said.
Bao Tianqing froze on the spot, feeling a little unreal.
He fully recognized Lin Xiaofan's ability and potential. Moreover, he also made great achievements in the battle of Qingzhou, and his future will be bright.
But it was still difficult for him to change his mind. In his heart, Lin Xiaofan had always been a young man who had just started his career.
"Brother, if anything happens to Brother Lin in the future, I will have to rely on you."
Song Shang joked from the side.
Hearing this, Bao Tianqing's old face turned red. Just now he had said that he would protect Lin Xiaofan. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the other party became his boss.
"You talk too much!"
Bao Tianqing raised his foot and was about to kick Song Shang, but the injury on his leg made it difficult for him to move, and Song Shang easily dodged this attack.
"You guys keep chatting, I still have some things to do."
Zhao Shan spoke and then left the room.
"Brother Lin, you will be the head of our yamen from now on. How about I take you around here first?"
Bao Tianqing said.
"Then I'll go to the trouble of arresting the leader."
Lin Xiaofan cupped his hands and said. He will also work here in the future, so he might as well get familiar with the environment first.
This yamen is not big, with a lobby and a few offices-like rooms, and the rest are rooms for the yamen servants.
"Brother Lin, in this yamen, the county magistrate, county magistrate, chief registrar, and head catcher belong to the imperial court. In addition, there are many yamen servants who help with work. The main things they deal with are, first, documents and files, and second, warehouses, The third is food and horses, the fourth is taxation, the fifth is household registration, the sixth is arrests, the seventh is monitoring prisoners, and the eighth is handling cases.”
"Although it sounds complicated, most things can be handled by the people under you. When the people below can't handle it, just take action. Just like the previous county magistrate, the detectives and I are responsible for arresting, Supervising prisoners, handling cases, etc., the chief clerk is responsible for document processing, household registration, etc., while the county magistrate is responsible for warehouses, grain and horses, tax collection, documents and files, etc. The county magistrate only inspects the work on weekdays."
Considering that Lin Xiaofan had just entered the officialdom, Bao Tianqing explained it very carefully.
