Chapter 59 Qinzhou officials
Qinzhou.
No matter how desolate Qin is, it is still the capital and the economic, political, and cultural center of the entire region. Needless to say, it is very prosperous.
Above the city gate, there is a big word "Qinzhou". At the city gate, there is an endless stream of people going in and out.
Some were pushing wooden carts, some were carrying goods, and some were going to Qinzhou for the market. It was bustling and lively.
After arriving here, businessman Jia Ming went to do his own business, while Xiao Yuan called Ye Cheng and said to him: "You take the soldiers to the prefect's mansion first, while Peng Shuang, Master Liu and I will go wherever we go.
Walk."
"This, sir..." Ye Cheng was a little confused.
Xiao Yuandao: "Look around and you can get a feel for this place. Over at the Prefect's Mansion, the officials should have received the news and are waiting there. Go and tell them that there is no need to greet them, just say that I will be there later."
"Understood." Ye Cheng responded and started to make arrangements.
After he left, Xiao Yuan stuffed a bundle into Peng Shuang's arms: "I'll find a place to change your armor later."
"oh……"
He was going to wear casual clothes and walk around Qinzhou City first. After Ye Cheng accepted the order, he also led a large group of people to the prefect's mansion.
The location of the Taishou's Mansion is located in the very center of Qinzhou. It occupies a large area and is the first official office. It has a natural style.
When Ye Cheng arrived, as Xiao Yuan said, Qin Governor Shi Guoqian, together with a group of Qinzhou officials, had been waiting at the gate of the mansion for a long time.
The top executive is about to take office, and these officials dare not refuse to welcome him.
Many people were actually a little uneasy because they didn't know what kind of person the new governor was and what he would do next.
Especially Guo Qian, he felt very unhappy, because in his opinion, the post of prefect was vacant and he was definitely going to be promoted, but Xiao Yuan came by air.
When they saw Ye Cheng's large group of people, all the officials tidied up their official uniforms, because they had already received the news and knew that these should be the guards of the new prefect.
Ye Cheng was dressed in a general's armor, with a cloak on the back and a sword hanging on his waist. He was walking in the front. When he approached, Guo Qian was the first to greet him. He slightly cupped his hands and said, "This general, has the Grand Administrator arrived?"
"Ah, this sir is polite, but the governor is not here." Ye Cheng also clasped his fists and said, "But my lord asked me to tell you, there is no need to greet him, he will be here shortly."
"Ah? This..." Guo Qian was a little confused. He couldn't help but look at each other and other officials, and then said: "I wonder what the prefect meant?"
"I don't know either." Ye Cheng spread his hands, then took out his military badge and relevant documents, showed it to Guo Qian and said: "We are all soldiers under your lord, now we can enter the prefect's mansion to arrange defense
Yet?"
These two thousand soldiers followed Xiao Yuan all the way, and are now more like his bodyguards. And Ye Cheng's identity is now known. In Guo Qian's opinion, he should belong to the people around the prefect, so he does not dare to offend easily.
, but said with a smile:
"Of course, I'm afraid General Lao will be responsible for guarding the Prefect's Mansion from now on."
"Of course." Ye Cheng nodded, his attitude was quite modest, and asked Guo Qian: "By the way, I haven't asked this gentleman for advice yet..."
"Ah, I am Shi Guoqian, the governor of Qin."
"It turns out to be Mr. Guo. I'm disrespectful." Ye Cheng quickly raised his hand.
"General, you're welcome. Since the Grand Administrator has given instructions, please come in." Guo Qian said and extended his hand as an invitation.
"Master Guo, please." Ye Cheng said politely, and then, led by Guo Qian, a group of officials and soldiers entered the prefect's mansion.
As soon as he entered, Ye Cheng pointed to the door of the mansion and said, "Twelve people will be left here, two on each side, divided into three teams, and they will take turns guarding."
"Yes!" an officer responded and immediately began to select soldiers.
At the entrance of the Prefect's Mansion, soldiers with halberds and straight waists soon appeared on both sides.
"Leave ten people here."
"There are eight people left here..."
Everywhere he went, Ye Cheng also started pointing here and there to arrange the defense work.
The governor's mansion, which was originally unoccupied, soon became filled with soldiers.
After a simple arrangement, Ye Cheng had already walked through many courtyards. At this time, he also stopped and began to ask: "Master Guo, where is the study of the prefect?"
"This way." Guo Qian began to lead the way again.
Not long after, everyone came outside the study. Ye Cheng first looked up at the surrounding environment, then nodded and said straight to the point:
"Sir Guo, I need to trouble you to send the official documents on Qinzhou's people's livelihood and taxation in recent years to your study."
"What?" Guo Qian frowned and showed a slightly unhappy expression.
You must know that he is the governor of Qin. In terms of official rank, he is much higher than Ye Cheng. How could he be willing to obey his command? The reason why he was brought in was because he did not want to offend.
Listening to what Ye Cheng said now, how could Guo Qian agree? Ye Cheng naturally understood what he meant and quickly explained: "Master Guo, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that. These were all explained by the prefect himself, so..."
"Oh, that's it." Guo Qian first showed an expression of sudden realization, then rolled his eyes and said: "Since the prefect has given instructions, I dare not disobey. I will have the official document delivered to me later."
"Thank you, Mr. Guo." Ye Cheng quickly clasped his fists.
"Hey? General, you are polite. As the prefect, I want to see the official documents. These are what I should do."
Guo Qian waved his hand, and after leading Ye Cheng to familiarize himself with the environment, he no longer wanted to stay here, so he said: "Since the prefect has not arrived yet, I will not disturb the general's arrangements and leave first."
"Okay, Master Guo, please go slowly." Ye Cheng politely responded. After Guo Qian left, he also began to direct the soldiers below to clean the room and move here and there. Soldiers could be seen running around everywhere in the prefect's mansion.
After leaving the prefect's mansion, a group of officials from Qinzhou gathered in front of the mansion again. Someone said:
"When you take office, you have to check official documents and review past taxes. The person who comes here is not a good person..."
Someone else shook his head and agreed:
"Yes, I first sent the guards to the prefect's mansion to arrange defense, but I didn't arrive for a long time. What an official power..."
"Hey, by the way, I heard that the new governor is a young general. He has been on the battlefield. I don't know what he is like..."
People talked a lot, but Guo Qian sneered and said:
Chapter completed!
