Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

After Su Jin finished reading the imperial decree, Tong Ran kowtowed to thank him.

"Master Tong, please come up," Su Jin said, "My lord is really young and promising. Our family has been with His Majesty for more than 20 years, and we have seen so many adults. You are the fastest promoted, even Mr. Fu Ge back then. go up."

"Grandpa Su is absurd." Tong Ran cupped his hands, "How dare Tong Ran stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Fu Ge."

The elder Fu Ge that Su Jin said was Fu Lin, the chief assistant of the cabinet. When he was young, he was promoted to two ranks in three years. Tong Ran had heard a little about him.

Tong Ran spoke politely to Su Jin again, and he looked outside the palace, where the guards were standing with swords in their hands, all of them were from the palace.

"My lord Tong, there are 20 imperial guards outside the hall, all of whom are elites from various armies. Your majesty has an oral order that Jinhe prison is no better than Xiaoguo County, and you still need some of your own people around you. It is inconvenient to write these in the imperial decree. , so Your Majesty specially sent me to deliver it to your lord." Su Jin said politely.

Tong Ran couldn't help but glanced outside the hall, and said cautiously: "Eunuch, what you mean is that these guards will...follow me from now on?"

Su Jin smiled kindly: "Yes. The post of inspector was originally a military post, and later he became a local official of mining and smelting places in various places. Mining and smelting are the lifeblood of the country. A hundred personal soldiers can be dispatched from nearby military towns in case of major incidents. Now the Jinhe Supervisor only has deputy envoys, and I am afraid that there are not enough soldiers in the prison, so His Majesty selected these people to send them here."

Su Jin said this with a smile, like gossip, but he was surprised in his heart.

Almost all the inspectors in various places hold important mineral deposits in their hands. While the imperial court needs them to protect the mine deposits, it also prevents them from supporting themselves. Therefore, the military power given is no more than 100 people, and at most they can block a small group of mobs.

Although His Majesty did not expand the military power in Tong Ran's hands, the imperial guards selected were all elites who could be worth one hundred, and these 20 people alone were much stronger than the hundred soldiers of the ordinary supervisor.

Furthermore, the imperial bodyguards are the emperor's personal guards, and it has never been heard that any official has insufficient personal guards and has to use the emperor's personal guards to fill the number.He carried out His Majesty's will with fear.Although this county magistrate Tong is capable, there are many capable officials in the world. I have never heard of anyone who can win His Majesty's favor like this. polite.

After all, Tong Ran had only been a county magistrate, and was far less familiar with Dacheng's officialdom than Su Jin, so he was mostly surprised, but he didn't appreciate how different Chu Jun treated him.He cupped his hands and said, "Please thank you Your Majesty, Eunuch."

Su Jin returned the gift: "Definitely, definitely."

Su Jin also called the leader of the guards and introduced him to Tong Ran. This man was named You Yang, and he possessed a low-rank righteousness, higher than Tong Ran.

You Yang saluted Tong Ran respectfully, every move was very neat.

After the imperial decree was proclaimed and people recommended him, Su Jin gathered up his whisk, bid farewell to Tong Ran, and brought his people back to Beijing.

As soon as Su Jin left, the atmosphere in the county government became relaxed, and Sang Le was the first to say: "Congratulations, my lord, for your promotion."

Gao Zhuo, Yuan San, and other scribes and government servants who heard the news also congratulated Tong Ran. "Wow!" The little tiger jumped off the chair and scratched Tong Ran's robe, "Wow!"

Tong Ran bent down and picked it up: "Are you hungry?"

"Wow!" I'm not that greedy.

Tong Ran turned her head to Sang Le and said, "Go to Huai Tanglou and let me know and arrange a few big tables. I'll invite everyone in the yamen to dinner."

"Yes!" Sang Le took the order and left, and the others were even more excited, calling for the county magistrate to treat him to dinner.

"Don't forget your appearance, be quiet." Gao Zhuo said to Tong Ran after drinking a word from the yamen servants, "I'm going to congratulate you on your promotion, but the yamen servants and clerks both have official duties, so it's not appropriate to go to dinner."

Tong Ran rubbed the little tiger: "You can arrange these things. If you can't go, you can ask Huai Tanglou to deliver the food. It's the same to eat in the county government."

"Yes." Gao Zhuo said.

Huai Tanglou is a first-class and expensive place in Xiaoguo County. Whether it is eaten in the past or in the county government, everyone is very excited.

But Gu Lan couldn't feel it at all. He glanced at Tong Ran anxiously, wondering if he should step forward to congratulate him.While hesitating, Tong Ranxian noticed him and said loudly, "Master Gu, why haven't you left yet?"

As soon as Tong Ran said, everyone in the hall paid attention to Gu Lan.Gu Lan blushed, and hurriedly cupped her hands and said, "Master Tong, it was Gu Lan who was rude just now, please forgive me."

"Master Gao," Tong Ran called Gao Zhuo, "Master Gu said he has gained weight recently, and he won't go to Huai Tanglou for a while to eat. I don't know if there is any energy in the county government that can make him consume some?"

Gao Zhuo immediately understood and said: "Today, I have someone tidy up a few rooms in the backyard. If Mr. Gu is free, he can help."

Gu Lan was shocked, he was a civil servant, he was not good at physical ability, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.Tong Ran didn't give him a chance, and said directly: "That's a good idea, Mr. Gu, let's go and exercise your muscles, and set off with me in a few days."

Before Su recently announced the decree, Tong Ran was at the seventh rank, and Gu Lan was at the sixth rank. Even if Tong Ran was angry, he couldn't say much.After Su recently announced the decree, Tong Ran jumped to the fifth rank, and he wanted to punish Gu Lan. Even if he couldn't find a reason on the surface, there would always be other reasons to torment him.

Now this excuse is a great way to give him face.

This person is now his immediate superior, Gu Lan didn't dare to make any further pushback, so she agreed and followed Gao Zhuo to work.

At noon, Tong Ran was putting Yan Yan in Huai Tanglou. Besides the people from the county government office, there were other people who knew or didn't know Tong Ran who came here with gift money and gifts.The banquet at Huai Tang Lou was very lively, and the news of Tong Ran's promotion spread throughout Xiaoguo County.

After the banquet, Tong Ran stayed in Xiaoguo County for a few days.The construction site in Fuqiu Village was still in progress. Tong Ran went around and made some minor adjustments.Fu Xuan's terraced field design drawing was also completed. Tong Ran gave him the power to take full responsibility. He also sent Yan Shishi, who had participated in road construction and was familiar with Xiaoguo County, to assist him. The two were about the same age. Great and very speculative.

After everything was arranged properly, Tong Ran ordered Gao Zhuo to act as the county magistrate temporarily, and took the twenty imperial guards given to him by Chu Jun, as well as Yuan San, Sang Le, Qiu'er, and others to Jinhe Supervisor up.

On the way, Tong Ran called Gu Lan into the carriage.

Gu Lan was forced to work as a coolie by Tong Ran for a few days, and her back was sore. "My lord's way of torturing people is really..." Gu Lan couldn't help but babble, Tong Ran gave him a look, and he immediately shut his mouth tightly.

"Don't dare to compare with Mr. Gu." Tong Ran smiled half-smile.

Gu Lan sneered: "Don't hate me, my lord, there is really nothing Gu can do about it."

"It's time for you to come. I'm going to Jinhe Supervisor now, but I don't know the situation. Tell me about it." Tong Ran said.

Gu Lan hurriedly agreed, and began to speak seriously.

The little tiger found a comfortable position on Tong Ran's lap, wagged its tail, rested its head on its overlapping paws, and listened seriously.

"Jinhejian didn't have any official envoys. There were only two six-rank officials, the supervisor and me, and a few minor officials of the first rank. The others were easy to deal with, but the supervisor was a bit difficult." Gu Lan said.

At the same time that Tong Ran received the imperial decree, the prefect of Shanglang Prefecture, the magistrate of Dingxian County, the governor of Longyou Road, the governor of Dunan Province, the prefect of Zhuoyang Prefecture, the supervisor of Jinhe County, and others also received the imperial edict or orders from the imperial court. .The change of the administrative division is not a trivial matter. The six ministries have sent special personnel to coordinate the matter. There are affairs that need to be adjusted in several places involved.

Because Shanglang Mansion designated six villages, it also sent the relevant files of the six villages to Jinhe Supervisor according to the imperial court's order.

Tong Ran hadn't arrived at that time, and the person who received the file was Jinhe Supervisor Wei Shangjiang.

He is an official of the sixth grade. When Jinhe Supervisor had no official envoy before, he overwhelmed Gu Lan, the deputy supervisor, because of his military power.

When he received the documents from the imperial court, he even thought he was dreaming again, until the file from Heishi Sixth Village was delivered, Shang Jiang slashed with his backhand, and cut off the ear of the stone lion in front of the inspector's yamen with his sword.

"My lord, please calm down, and the little ones are also grievances on your behalf. But His Majesty's will must not be disobeyed, and the magistrate must do it impartially." Said the official of Shanglang Mansion who came to deliver the file.

Shang Jiang snorted coldly: "Grandpa, I know exactly what kind of thing your magistrate is. I just treat him politely for the sake of helping him a little bit, and now he is out of his charge, and there is no need for him to cry like a cat." Fake mercy."

The official said with a smile: "What are you talking about, my lord, the magistrate will remember your benefits."

"So what if I remember? How many years have I been Jinhe Supervisor? Fight for me!"

"My lord, you can't talk nonsense. The magistrate has always acted impartially, and he never favored anyone because he took advantage of him. Mr. Tong was appointed by His Majesty. Even if you have dissatisfaction, you can't say it out loud. Nah!" said the scribe.

He didn't know which part of Shangjiang's rebellion was touched by his words, he drew out his saber without saying a word, and swung it directly in front of the scribe.

The blade stopped against his forehead, and the clerk was so frightened that he almost peed on his pants.

"Go back to me and tell you adults, stop being hypocritical in front of me. But a child who is promoted by the grace of the Holy One, all the hundred soldiers of Jinhejian are under the supervision of me. One life!" Shang Jiang said.

The scribe could not stand still for a long time, almost crying and knelt down to him, begging for mercy.

"Throw him out." Shang Jiang said.

"Yes!" The ten soldiers behind him responded in unison.

A worker passed by the gate of the government office without daring to take a second look, and hurried away with a wooden cart.

Shang Jiang called a soldier and said, "Go and find out how long it will take for that boy surnamed Tong to arrive. I want to prepare a big gift for him."

The soldiers understood as soon as they heard it, and with a clear smile, they clasped their hands neatly and said, "Don't worry, my lord, even if the supervisor comes, we will swear allegiance to you to the death!"

Shang Jiang nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and let him go.
