"Xiaoguan Zhou Tai met with Lord Zhu. Xiaguan was selected by Shu Quan of the Ministry of Personnel and was appointed as the magistrate of Jingnan. When he took office, he happened to be a Japanese enemy. He was delayed in the city for several days and was only accepted today. I hope that the Lord will forgive him. This is the title of the official position of the official, so please review it by Lord Zhu."

Zhou Tai was led by Liu Dianli from the east hall of the county yard, bowed and bowed to Zhu Ping'an, and then respectfully placed the famous book with his position written on it with both hands on the table in front of Zhu Ping'an, then took three steps back and bowed to Zhu Ping'an three times.

Zhou Tai was very polite to Zhu Ping'an, and he was a little restrained and had a standard feeling of visiting the leader.

"Mr. Zhou has worked hard all the way, so why should I be very polite? Please sit down quickly."

Zhu Ping'an glanced at Zhou Tai's famous Cambodia and confirmed that it was consistent with the notice issued by the Ministry of Personnel a few days ago. He stood up enthusiastically and bowed back to his favor, helping Zhou Tai with a hand and asking him to sit down.

"Thank you, sir." Zhou Tai felt a little at a loss when facing Zhu Ping'an's enthusiasm. The sir seemed to be too enthusiastic...

Can Zhu Ping'an not be enthusiastic? Zhu Ping'an has been waiting for this day for countless days, waiting for the stars and the moon, and finally came to Zhou Tai, the new magistrate of Jingnan who succeeded him.

When the new magistrate of Jingnan Zhou Tai came, he could serve as the assistant chief of the Zhejiang Censorate.

Of course, Zhu Ping'an was not eager to be promoted, but to be in his position and to plan his politics. The great Japanese storm in Jingnan has begun. Only when he has a higher position, the greater the power he has, and the greater the role he can play.

After a few simple greetings, Zhu Ping'an and Zhou Tai handed over the seals, account books, fish scale albums and other confidential matters, briefed the county government affairs, and introduced Liu Dianli and other clerks to Zhou Tai one by one... In this way, the old and new Jingnan magistrates completed the handover.

Next, Zhou Tai's ceremony of receiving seals and ceremonies will be held the next morning.

Zhu Ping'an will not participate in these things.

After a brief contact, Zhu Ping'an still had a good impression of Zhou Tai. Zhou Tai is a calm person and follows the rules. He is not the kind of vain person. He seems to be a practical person. Zhu Ping'an is still more at ease when he handed over Jingnan to Zhou Tai.

After the handover, Zhu Ping'an said goodbye to Zhou Tai, Liu Dianli and others, and prepared to set off immediately to serve as the assistant chief of the Zhejiang Censorate.

Huaer had already packed up his things in the backyard, and as soon as Zhu Ping'an came back, he set off. Of course, Liu Mu, Liu Dadao and others were also accompanying him, as well as the witch Ruonan.

Zhu Ping'an refused and stopped Zhou Tai, Liu Dianli and others' requests, and did not want to mobilize the masses to avoid the trouble of the people and money. Of course, he did not want to alarm the people in Jingnan. I walked gently, just as I came gently, waved my sleeves without taking away a cloud...

However, Zhu Ping'an was still a little wishful thinking.

Zhu Ping'an stopped Zhou Tai, Liu Dianli and others from seeing each other off, but could not stop the people in Jingnan.

Just now, when Zhou Tai came to serve as the magistrate of Jingnan, the people knew about it as Liu Dianli and other county clerks and clerks from Jingnan, as well as the rich and wealthy merchants and great merchants from Jingnan, who came out to greet him.

The new magistrate has come to take office. Wouldn’t it mean that our county magistrate is about to leave?!

The people are not stupid, they will know just by thinking about it.

Therefore, the people were waiting early near the county government office, with people at the front and back doors, waiting to see Zhu Ping'an off.

"County Zun, the County Zun Lord has come out..."

In order not to disturb people, Zhu Ping'an deliberately left through the back door, but he heard a shout as soon as he left the door.

After this shout, there were more and more voices of "County Lord came out", just like I wanted to attract friends. After these shouts, footsteps rushed over from all directions.

Looking at the group of people outside the door and more and more people coming over, Zhu Ping'an was stunned.

"Minister, are you leaving?"

"County Master, please don't leave, okay?! Just be our parents' officials here, we beg you..."

"County Master, don't leave...what should we do if you leave?! We will never meet a good parent official like you again."

The people said emotionally outside the door, and even some older men knelt down.

"Uncle, aunt, please come up with a blind date... I'm leaving. Jingnan has the trusted magistrate Zhou, and he will take good care of everyone." Zhu Ping'an hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old man with gray hair and an old man with equal gray hair closest, and said to everyone.

"County Master, we don't recognize anyone, we recognize you. Only the county Master keeps us in mind, treats us well, helps us reduce taxes, seeks justice for us, and saves us from floods and Japanese pirates... We have lived a good life. After so many years, we have been a magistrate, and we have met a parent official like you, who is a good magistrate, who truly makes decisions for the people and asks for the people."

"Minister of the County Please don't leave, stay, and then be the magistrate of us."

The eyes of the people were wet.

"What are you doing one by one? Are you going to repay kindness and revenge?! The reason why we can stand here alive and our lives are getting better day by day is all given by Lai County Master. The county master is promoted, and you don't let the county master leave. Are you going to ruin the future of the county master?! Besides, can you stay if you let the county master stay? Do you treat national affairs as a joke?! The county master is promoted, this is the emperor's destiny! It is a matter of losing your head! You are all too selfish!"

An old man squeezed in front of everyone with a cane and shouted angrily to everyone with a cane.

"Yes, the county master has been promoted, and we cannot stop the county master's future."

"The county magistrate is kind to us, we cannot repay our grudges."

"We have been promoted to the county magistrate, and we must be happy for the county magistrate, and we must see off for the county magistrate."

"Old woman, go and catch the chickens we raised and see them off to the county emperor."

"We will collect Cheng Yi for the county magistrate..."

After the old man finished teaching the lesson, the common people figured it out and expressed their opinions to see Zhu Ping'an off.

Some of the people caught chickens, some led sheep, and some used fruits, farmers and sideline products. Of course, even more, Cheng Yi's silver coins were indispensable. The people spontaneously paid out their pockets, with a small amount of 100 yuan and a large amount of 100 taels of silver. Not long after, they gathered a large basket of copper coins to break up silver.

"You guys are on a blind date, especially you are so old, and you are still here to see Ping'an off, which makes Ping'an grateful and uneasy. I have all received the wishes of Ping'an, and I will not need these silver, money and other things."

Zhu Ping'an was very moved, and of course he firmly refused everyone's kindness, not even a grain of rice or a penny.

"County Master, we are people from the mountains and fields. We have never seen the world and have no culture. But we know everything in our hearts. In the past, several magistrates only knew how to collect corvee labor and collect money, grain and taxes. They did not do anything for us, but instead caused resentment from the heavens. Since the county master came, we knew what parents were. The county master made a fair decision and made a decision for us. The county master released prisoners who did not pay taxes and returned home to harvest in the autumn. The county master reduced taxes for us. The county master saved us from floods and Japanese pirates... These are all the favors of the county master to us. Fortunately, we survived, lived well and had dignity... Now the county master is about to be promoted, and we will see us off for the county master. These are our insignificant thoughts. Please do not refuse and must accept it, otherwise we will be uneasy."

Several old men stepped forward and said excitedly, Zhu Ping'an must accept Cheng Yi they had collected.

"You are so sad that Ping An has done nothing but his duties, which is far from what you said. The wishes of the elders and fellow villagers are so peaceful that they can never accept silver, money and other things."

Zhu Ping'an resigned.

The people refused to accept it and insisted that Zhu Ping'an accept it. This was a stalemate for a long time.

"This is the hard-earned money of the elders and fellow villagers. Ping An accepted this article as a souvenir and will never forget each other." Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an had no choice but to take out a copper coin from the money basket to represent the acceptance.

The people admire Zhu Ping'an even more.
