Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 2840

They didn't use official posts to enter the city this time, but lined up like other people. In fact, they didn't have to take another channel. There were so many people. They entered the city in a short time.

Once in, there was a street. Bai Shan looked down and saw that the road was fairly flat. There were some small stalls on both sides. There were not as many people walking around as Qingzhou City, but it was fairly orderly.

Bai Shan and Zhou man simply dismounted, walked along the crowd and observed the situation in Beihai county all the way.

The colors of the clothes people wear here are less concentrated than those in Qingzhou City. They are mostly gray and dark cyan. Bright colors are rare, but people's faces are still vivid. People walk slowly in the street and occasionally lean together in groups to talk and laugh.

Bai shanshun walked down the street to the gate of the county government.

There are fewer people in this area. The county government is near the street, but there is a small square in front of it. There is a wall on the side. That is a notice wall. Generally, the county government will post notices on the notice wall in addition to telling the main street.

But usually few people come to see the notice wall.

Bai Shan and Zhou man give the horse to Daji and go up to have a look.

Many notices have been posted on the wall, including wanted notices for arresting criminals and notices for persuading students to teach Nongsang. The paper has turned yellow and should have been posted for a long time.

Looking at the latest piece of paper, it should be a notice informing the imperial court that a new county magistrate has been appointed. Further ahead is the notice that Lu county magistrate has been promoted to Yidu county magistrate, and will leave Beihai County in a few days.

Bai Shan looked at the back of his chin and said, "look, the Lailu county magistrate really takes good care of Beihai county."

Man Bao nodded and looked at their Yamen. She lowered her voice and said, "do they want to drive us?"

Bai Shan looked down her eyes.

The two yamen guards guarding the gate of the county yamen had noticed them long ago. They looked at each other and were stunned. After that, the two yamen guards still came over with big knives in their hands, "what are you doing?"

Bai Shan thought they were too fierce and just came to see a notice. Wouldn't such ferocity scare his people who wanted to see the notice.

So Jun said, "where's your county magistrate?"

The Yamen servicemen also looked at their faces, and the other party's clothes were not vulgar, followed by so many cars, horses and servants. Seeing that Bai Shan was not easy to talk, they immediately changed their attitude and said, "our county magistrate is in the Yamen. Who are you?"

Bai Shan said, "I'm your new county magistrate."

The two men's expressions were blank, glanced at the carriage and attendants behind them, and immediately bent down and respectfully said, "it's the county magistrate. Please come inside quickly. I'll call the county magistrate."

After saying that, he left a man to greet Bai Shan, and he ran into the county government to inform the county magistrate and others.

They received the news of Qingzhou City yesterday. They knew that the new county magistrate was coming and that Lu county magistrate was entertaining their new county magistrate in Qingzhou City.

They thought Bai Shan would stay in Qingzhou City for two more days if they said anything. Therefore, although they were preparing for the meeting, they didn't expect anyone to arrive.

So Fang Xiancheng hurriedly led the people out.

Fang Xiancheng is a black faced man in his thirties. He is darker than Dong Xianwei behind him. He doesn't seem to laugh often, so when facing Bai Shan, he pulled the corners of his mouth and found that he didn't smile very successfully. He simply bowed with a straight face, "the lower officer has seen Bai county magistrate."

Bai Shan smiled, nodded and replied, "this county is a newcomer. In the future, you still need a lot of advice and forgiveness."

Of course, Bai Shan doesn't say he is a county magistrate. He is a county magistrate. There are still some procedures.

After entering the county yamen, Bai Shan took out his appointment book and official seal. After checking it, the county magistrate looked at Zhou man 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'll thank you for your official business."

Fang Xian Cheng dared not even take Bai Shan 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 Yamen and the backyard, which is used by the county magistrate to go to the Yamen. People usually don't go here.

So everyone went out of the county government office and went around to the back. There was a big corner door. Open the threshold and the carriage can go in.

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

There are two courtyards inside, but the place connecting the County Yamen in front is a small garden, but the small garden is bare, not to mention flowers, not even vegetables, but some grass grows. In some places, there are pulled grass, and someone is cleaning it up.

County Magistrate Fang quickly explained, "I know that magistrate Bai is coming to take office, so the county government sent someone to clean up in advance, but everyone is slower. Please don't blame magistrate Bai."

Bai Shan nodded with a smile and said, "never mind, let's clean up slowly."

As he went to the back yard, he asked curiously, "I see there are only a few trees in the garden. How come the county magistrate didn't plant flowers when he was there?"

Fang Xiancheng said: "when Lu county magistrate first came, he heard that the soil in Beihai county was not good for planting things. He didn't believe it, so he asked someone to dig some soil and lay it in the garden. Later, he planted some flowers and plants and didn't survive. Lu county magistrate simply didn't plant them."

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

Bai Shan nodded and didn't comment.

The two back yards are side by side. The main yard is relatively large. There are helpers coming in and out. Bai Shan glanced and saw that they were scrubbing tables and chairs, so he didn't stop them. Instead, after nodding, the other county magistrate said, "let them all step back. I have a lot of people with me. Just clean up later."

He pointed to Liu GUI and introduced them: "this is my housekeeper Liu GUI."

Liu GUI immediately saluted them, and then followed a Yamen to gather all the people in the backyard.

The county government is equipped with helpers for the county magistrate. There are not many, usually two or three. The salary comes from the county government, mainly to take care of the county magistrate who takes office alone.

After all, some county magistrates are poor. They may have a servant around them, and that servant may be acted by their clansmen.

The servants assigned by the county government are generally servants with years of service. Beihai county has also assigned Bai Shan two, a woman and an old man, but not a family. The woman looks like she is in her 40s. She does washing, shopping, cleaning and cooking in the backyard. She is very versatile. She has served five county magistrates and is really an old man in the county government;

The old man is the gatekeeper. He hasn't been here long. He has only been here for four years. He was hired by Lu 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 kept watching for the county magistrate Lu all the time.

After Bai Shan met them, he handed over all the people and things to Liu GUI, and the county magistrate Fang and they set a time for Bai Shan to receive the wind and wash the dust in the evening, and then left.
