The demon world I designed

"Hey, Chen Qing...oh no, Master Chen, you just came back?"

At the gate of the government office, a tired Chen Qing, with sleepy eyes, and the groom Lao Meng finally came back. Chen Qing, who had been running back and forth for two days and could no longer keep his eyes open, saw a bunch of familiar people sitting at the door drinking porridge. After seeing his face, he suddenly lost sleepiness.

"Gu Zhuangyuan, when did you come?"

Gu Beiquan, who was said to be the number one scholar, twitched slightly, put down his porridge bowl and stood up: "I have met the magistrate."

Although the others were reluctant, they all put down their porridge bowls and saluted: "I have met the prefect."

"Everywhere, we are all classmates, no need to be so polite..." Chen Qing smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed to slits, and he kept polite words on his lips.

Ma Erniang on the side looked at so many scholars saluting Chen Qing, and not only thought to herself: This son of the Chen family is really promising, he has become a prefect directly. It seems that he has really survived the good times, unlike him. That brat of my own is a fool at reading, and he has also picked up on his damn father’s bad habit of gambling...

While thinking about it, he quickly served a bowl to the young prefect: "Hurry up, I've just cooked the meat porridge. I put ginger in it, just in time to get rid of the cold."

There are so many officials here, so you should take the opportunity to get to know them, maybe you can get a good job for your two sons.

Chen Qing's index finger twitched when she smelled it, and she and Lao Meng each took a bowl.

"Our Magistrate Chen is quite busy." Zhuang Yuanlang looked at Chen Qing who was eating porridge like a starving ghost, with disdain flashing in his eyes: "I heard that we arrived in Liuzhou City a few days before us, but in the end nothing has changed here. I don't know, Magistrate What are you busy with?"

Chen Qing was drinking porridge. Hearing these words, he didn't want to talk to the other party. Liuzhou City is like this now. I'll be busy for you for a month. Will you change it?

"Master Chen has also seen the current situation, what do you think?" Another tall scholar asked slowly while drinking tea.

Chen Qing could hear the voice of Shen Yuan, who was ranked second in the new department, without even raising his head, and he felt depressed...

These guys can't bear to watch him take a sip of porridge when they're full, right?

The horseman on the side felt uncomfortable when he heard this. Although he also felt that his master was a bit dishonest, he was still running around all night for Liuzhou. What did these uncles do? So noisy...

"Daddy, why does it smell so good?"

In the carriage, the ghost child was obviously attracted by the scent and opened the carriage curtain sleepily.

What a cute doll!

Everyone was stunned when they saw it. The doll with its head in the carriage was like a porcelain doll offered in a temple, making people feel loving and affectionate. A group of dissatisfied Jinshi all showed gentle smiles on their faces.

I thought in my heart that Chen Qing herself was ordinary, but the baby she gave birth to was actually pretty...

call…….

Suddenly the morning breeze blew, and the carriage curtain was completely blown open.

The smiles on everyone’s faces froze!

so big…….

Ma Erniang, a woman who had given birth to two children, turned red at the sight. What was going on with this baby? How old is the doll? Why is it so majestic down there? What did you eat growing up?

"Ahem!" Chen Qing choked on the porridge, quickly put down the porridge bowl, and stepped forward to close the curtain of the carriage: "Ahem... Ma Erniang, do you have any looser clothes for children? Give me two pieces first. Put on the doll."

"Oh, uh? Chen Qing? Do you have a child?"

Chen Qing was laughing loudly, and just as he was trying to find an excuse to excuse himself, another huge noble head popped out of the carriage.

"I go……"

Ma Erniang was so frightened that she stepped back, and the others were also frightened.

"What's this?"

"Ah...this...ahem..." Chen Qing coughed and explained: "It's just a mountain turtle. According to some people's description, it is an auspicious one. Isn't this...something unspeakable happened in Liuzhou?" I just want to bring auspiciousness over to calm people’s minds.”

Poof!

Some people immediately choked on their porridge, and the leader, Gu Beiquan, the number one scholar, also sneered: "Our Lord Prefect, you have been so busy these past two days that no one can see you. Is this what you are doing?"

"Chen Qing..." Another familiar middle-aged face next to him finally spoke: "Your Majesty and you have important responsibilities, and the more important they are to you, the more this happens, the more we cannot let down the grace of God. You..."

Listening to the voice, Chen Qing knew which one it was without even looking at it. Besides Liu Yiqi, who else could have such a guy who loved to use the tone of an old-timer?

He was not in a hurry. This group of Jinshi were not convinced by him, and he knew the reason. He, a programmer with three degrees, was recruited by Penguin to be a senior executive, and few of the students who had resumed diplomatic relations with the Qing Dynasty were convinced by him.

But at the beginning, the group of top students were at least very skilled and good at coding. They were a little arrogant and unambiguous in their work. How could the group of guys who pointed out the world in front of me be of any use to me? He is too lazy to spend energy on them...

"Now that you have seen the situation here, do you have any thoughts?" Chen Qing asked slowly while drinking tea and gargling: "If you have any good ideas, I will never be greedy for credit, so I will write a letter to you. Guarantee, give up the position of magistrate to a worthy person. Now is the time for the imperial court to recruit people. As long as you dare to issue a military order and guarantee that you can solve the situation in Liuzhou, the imperial court will make an exception and promote him. How about it? Which sir is willing to give it a try? "

As soon as these words came out, all the Jinshi who had been chattering just now fell silent.

Chen Qing looked at it for a moment and then sneered: "Oh, you still have no idea after a long time?"

"Master Chen!" Gu Beiquan was immediately annoyed and said, "Do you think the arrangement from above is a joke? The court has already made arrangements, so of course everyone should do their job!"

"Oh, so Gu Zhuangyuan accepted the court's arrangement..." Chen Qing put down his teacup and put away the smile on his face: "In that case, how should I do it? It's not your turn to criticize, right?"

"You..."

Gu Beiquan was so angry that his face turned red. The other Jinshi also looked unhappy. However, the new second-rank scholar Shen Yuan just sneered slightly, and his eyes were still so arrogant.

"Since everyone has their own job, let's talk about it in the court documents." Chen Qing looked at Ma Erniang and the groom who were stunned beside him, and smiled and said, "There are no outsiders, so let's discuss it here."

Chen Qing took out the document and said, "The document says that Gu Zhuangyuan is Tongpan and Shen Bangyan is Tongzhi... Hmm?"

Chen Qing was stunned and felt that it was a bit unreasonable. Why should the second-rank official be one rank higher than the champion?

Many Jinshi without background were puzzled by this unreasonable point, but Gu Beiquan, the champion, just snorted coldly and said nothing more, and even dared not show any bad face to the new champion next to him.

The reason is that he knows the other party's background.

Shen Yuan was from the Warlock Academy. With this background, it would be useless even if he passed ten champion exams. In the Jin Dynasty, the difference between warlock civil officials and non-warlock civil officials was like heaven and earth. If warlocks were not too rare, ordinary people like them would not have the chance to become officials.

Chen Qing didn't hesitate for long, and continued: "According to the conventions of each prefecture, Tongpan and Tongzhi can be sent out or work in the same city with me. If they are willing to work in the same city with me, then Tongzhi and Tongpan will be in charge of grain transportation, supervision and arrest, river defense, agriculture and sericulture, etc."

"My Liuzhou is one of the main trade routes in the south of the Yangtze River, and river defense is particularly important. Now that the court has withdrawn the navy, we can only rely on the help of the two neighboring states for river defense. Rebuilding the river defense and attracting merchant ships to return is imminent. Who is willing to take this job?"

"This..." Gu Beiquan choked suddenly. He didn't expect that Chen, who was born in a mud-legged family and had no government training, could speak so well right from the start.

He also knew to throw out the most troublesome mess.

Everyone knows that the river defense involves huge interests. It is responsible for the registration and management of shipping goods, and it is necessary to deal with the generals who are responsible for mobilizing soldiers. Now the civil and military are not used to each other. The most difficult job is to deal with the military generals. He, a Jinshi who is not a sorcerer, does not have the confidence.

He said sullenly: "I am not talented and learned. I am afraid that I can't handle such important government affairs. Otherwise... Lord Shen, take a look?"

Shen Yuan was born as a sorcerer, and he thinks he is more confident than himself.

Shen Yuan frowned when he heard this. He wanted to compete for the river defense. Not only did he have great merits, but he also had more money. However, he was more informed than Gu Beiquan. He knew who the new general was when he came from the capital.

It would be fine if it was someone else, but it turned out that the madman from the Yuchi family came this time, and he was really a little nervous.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Master Chen, there is a shortage of officials in Liuzhou now. It would be a waste of manpower for the three of us to govern in Liuzhou Prefecture. How about... we send them out?"

He thought clearly that if the Jiang defense could not be won, the remaining grain transportation, supervision and arrest, and agriculture and sericulture were all government affairs with a slow return cycle. Especially in the current situation in Liuzhou, the government affairs given up by the other party were thankless. Instead of fighting for power in a mess, it is better to send them out to important counties to be the chief officials.

Not only are they not restricted, but they can also achieve more political achievements.

Gu Beiquan's eyes lit up when he heard this. He obviously thought of this, so he hurriedly said, "Master Shen is right. Now that there is such a shortage of manpower, it is better to send them out..."

Chen Qing curled his lips. He knew that the other party would answer like this.

When he left the capital, Wei Gongcheng had already revealed to him that the new general of Liuzhou seemed to be the eldest brother of Yuchi Peng, who was an extremely troublesome person. If the champion or runner-up had some background information, they would not think of competing with the madman of the Yuchi family.

But he didn't buy it. No matter if he was crazy or not, he had to take charge of all the government affairs in Liuzhou. Whether it was the city defense or the river defense, he would not allow it to fall into the hands of others. This was related to the later plan of conferring the gods.

Even if the king of heaven came, he would have to fight!
