Chapter 1501: Han Banner World 191 Decisive Battle 6

Stepping into the current Shannan County Government Office, Mingtai found that he had nowhere to start, because the Government Office was still a large construction site, with people building walls, leveling the ground, repairing doors and windows, and building tiles. There was work everywhere. workers, and a middle-aged man in official uniform was tucking the hem of his official robe around his waist, standing in front of the lobby door and shouting. From time to time, he would bend down to grab a pile of tiles, straighten his waist, and With a wave of his hand, he threw the whole pile of tiles into the hands of the roof workers. Not only this official, but also the few guards in the government office were like this official. They were all covered in dust and sweat, and they were working together with the workers.

All this made Mingtai and his entourage dumbfounded.

After throwing another pile of tiles onto the roof, the official turned around inadvertently and saw Cao Tianci and his party standing at the gate. He laughed a few times, clapped his hands, and ran over in large strides. Mud splashed everywhere he passed, adding a lot of mud spots to his already dirty official robe.

"Minister Cao, you're back. This must be Commander Ming. I've heard about your name for a long time. I've heard about your name for a long time!" The official ran to the gate in a few strides, greeted Cao Tianci first, and then turned around. He turned around and looked at Mingtai, his hands stretched out enthusiastically.

Looking at those gray hands, Mingtai hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook it with his opponent.

"Wonderful, Commander Ming is indeed a great person." The official smiled even more happily, "I'm going to treat you tonight, Wu's Winery's top collection of fine wine. It's not available on the market!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Tianci couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Chen Gang, you bastard, when I came here a few days ago, I asked you to serve this wine to guests, but you pushed me left and right, and refused no matter what. I just met you for the first time today. I took out the wine without hesitation, are you afraid that I will hold a grudge? "

Chen Gang rolled his eyes. "Minister Cao, look what you said. With your status and your relationship with the Wu family, you can still get this wine no matter how small it is. If you can get even less of it, I am different. In order to get this jar I've worked hard on the wine. It cost me a lot of favors. Old Wu Yizheng gave me a note to get this jar. Isn't it a waste if you drink it?"

When Mingtai heard this, he felt embarrassed. He waved his hands and said, "Mr. Chen, you're being polite. You shouldn't take it seriously. Just order some wine."

Chen Gang shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, just because Commander Ming, if you are willing to reach out and shake my dirty hands, it is worth this jar of wine. You must drink it, you must drink it."

Cao Tianci shook his head repeatedly: "I dare you to take revenge because I refused to hold hands with your dirty hands when I came two days ago."

Chen Gang laughed.

"Commander Ming. Let me introduce it to you.

This is Chen Gang, the new governor of Shannan County. He was promoted from Cangzhou. When he was in Cangzhou, he was responsible for the economic development of Cangzhou. He did a great job and kept coming up with fantastic ideas. The Political Affairs Hall transferred him here, and it was precisely They took a fancy to his talent in making money. Shannan County is located at a strategic location connecting the prairie to the mainland of Qin. If this place develops, it will be extremely beneficial to the future development of Qin and the prairie. "

"It turns out to be Sheriff Chen!" Although I had already expected it. But Mingtai was still surprised when he heard Cao Tianci's formal introduction, and Qin Yijian and others behind him took a deep breath. The dignified governor of a county, who was a high-ranking official in the border area, was actually doing the work of a migrant worker in the government office, and he didn't look like a high-ranking official at all.

"It's funny, it's funny." Chen Gang smiled at the crowd: "Chen used to be just a businessman in Cangzhou. He gave up business and entered politics. The people of Cangzhou looked up to him and chose me as the deputy county governor. Fortunately, I made some achievements. "

"It's not an achievement." Cao Tianci said with a smile: "In selecting you to come to Shannan County, it is rare for the political affairs hall to have unanimous opinions. You must know that the county guards who were sent to Chu District to receive them in the past few times, then One of them is not blushing."

Chen Gang chuckled, but his face was full of pride.

"Don't be complacent. If you don't do well this time, the people of Shannan County may not choose you!" Cao Tianci joked.

"Don't worry, Minister Cao. I'm still confident about this. After three years, I vow to remove this code and give orders clearly. Please come here, please come here. The main hall is still being renovated and I really can't get involved. Let's go Narrative in the side room.”

Compared to the messy lobby, the side room was clean, but there was still a smell of lime. Apparently the walls had just been painted.

"Chief Chen, with all due respect, you are the governor of a county. You must have a lot of things to deal with. Why did you do this?" The two parties sat down, and Mingtai also asked politely, although it was only the first time with Chen Gang. We met and only exchanged a few words, but Mingtai, who is good at observing people, has discovered that this person is an extremely straightforward and capable person, and he must not like to beat around the bush. Cao Tianci asked him to take a walk around Han, take a look, and get to know the real Han. Mingtai felt that if he wanted to understand Han, it would be better to get to know the officials of Han first. Over the years, he has always been curious about the efficiency and integrity of Han officials.

Upon hearing this, Chen Gang couldn't help but sigh, "Who says it's not the case, but look at my government office, it's a mess. During the war, our Chief He was very happy with the artillery, but after he finished the battle, I'll be miserable if I leave and take over. Those profiteers are the ones I hate the most." At this point, he couldn't help but laugh. Cao Tianci and Mingtai also laughed, because Chen Gang himself said before that he was also a businessman before.

"Those merchants, they hired everyone at high prices and ran away. I couldn't find anyone. Later, I finally got more people, but I had to repair the streets and city walls first. I couldn't let the city be in a mess while I I just care about my own comfort. This delay has lasted until now, but the manpower is always insufficient. I am idle now. If I can help, I can always go faster, and I can save one person. Wages, right?”

Listening to Chen Gang's explanation, Mingtai and all the people from Qin were dumbfounded.

"Shouldn't we build the government office first?" Qin Yijian asked in surprise. "Also, those businessmen really dare to steal people from you?"

"Why don't you dare? The price they offered is high, and I only have this little money in my pocket. You don't know, but Minister Cao knows what kind of person that stingy guy Wang Wudi is. With just such a little money, what can I do? There are so many, there is no way to save one.”

"Why are there so few people in the government office? I saw only seven or eight people just now. Does Sheriff Chen rely on these few people to help with errands?" Qin Yijian continued to ask.

"That's enough, that's enough!" Chen Gang nodded and said, "Each department under the government office has its own specialized department. I can't use so many people here. If there are too many people, things can't be done. It's easy for you to push me aside, and it will be hard to change later. When I'm not working, I'll hire a few people again. After I finish my errands, I'll go back to each house to find my own mother. By the way, Minister Cao, our Emperor once said what to do with our officials. Coming?"

"Your Majesty said that officials should be treated like servants and livestock. If you want to be an official, you have to do this. Otherwise, why would the country pay you such a high salary?" Cao Tianci said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, that's the truth. If it's too hard, don't be an official!" Chen Gang laughed.

Everyone who comes from the Qin State is silent. Being an official in the Han State is still a hard job. I am afraid that no one in the Qin State is willing to work as a county guard like Chen Gang. Mingtai also understood that the thinking of Han officials and the thinking of Qin officials were not at all the same.

What does it mean to be people-oriented? that's. What does it mean to put the people first? Han officials have already done it.

When the food was put on the table, Sheriff Chen Gang, who was covered in stinky sweat and mud, finally went to wash up, changed into a clean robe and came back again, carefully holding a wine jar in his arms. Putting the wine jar on the table, he took a deep breath and shook his head: "Commander Ming, although this jar is ordinary, it is not the fancy wine packaged by Wu that claims to be high-end wine. If it can be compared, this is the real Wu’s top wine.”

"Returning to basics, as it should be." Mingtai nodded in praise.

Cao Tianci on the other side was impatient and reached out to grab the jar. He was a good martial artist. Chen Gang was just a businessman in the past. Cao Tianci reacted quickly. He only reached halfway and the jar was already in Cao Tianci's hands. In his hand, he patted open the mud seal and tore off the sealing paper. A refreshing fragrance immediately spread throughout the room.

"Be careful, be careful!" Chen Gang said repeatedly.

"What are you afraid of? If I spill a drop, I won't have a drink today." Cao Tianci laughed, stood up, flipped his wrist, and a stream of thick wine fell down, just enough to cover Ming Ming. The cups on the table are filled.

"Good skill!" Mingtai himself is also a master of martial arts, so he naturally knows the difficulty of Cao Tiancilu's move.

Cao Tianci smiled and filled up the drinks for everyone at the table, "Everyone who meets you has a share. It is a rare and rare taste of good wine."

A jar of about five kilograms of wine was filled with a third of it immediately. Mingtai watched as Chen Gang's eyebrows moved every time he poured a glass of wine. He was obviously very distressed and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. Seeing Cao Tianci come back and put the wine jar on the table, he lifted it up, handed it to Chen Gang, and said with a smile: "One glass of good wine is enough. I will save the rest and think about it. I will drink it all in one go." It’s boring.”

Chen Gang was overjoyed and held the jar tightly in his arms, "Commander Ming is indeed a man who knows how to drink." He stood up, hugged most of the jar of wine, and walked away quickly, leaving Cao Tianci standing aside for a moment. Unsatisfied.

"It's a pity. I was going to knock his bones and suck out his marrow." (To be continued.)
