LNMTL needs user funding to survive Read More

Yang Ling sits in the sign room, looks at one pile of records of front pile to be in a daze. He wants to put into the work immediately, is like a layman for the first time to the pile a person of high rotten fishing net, complicated, does not know that starts from where. 杨凌坐在签押房里,望着面前堆集的一堆案卷发呆。他很想马上投入工作,可是就象一个外行人乍对着堆得一人多高的烂鱼网,千头万绪,根本不知从何处下手。 If you think that the county magistrate responsible work knew, may not only be being all right on the television seeing sits in seven halls the racket the gavel, a finance of county, tax revenue, transportation, regulation, all wants the county magistrate to decide, originally the county magistrate besides the county assist and official in charge of documents and archival materials, one group of criminal case secretary, the finance clerk and pettifoggery adviser, County Magistrate Min this crude person county magistrate all loses to Yang Ling now altogether, even if an experienced Shaoxing adviser, feared that still wants the heart busy foot to be chaotic for a while. 如果你想想县太爷负责的工作就知道了,可不仅仅是电视上看到的没事坐在七品正堂上拍拍惊堂木呀,一县的财政呀、税收呀、交通呀、律法呀,所有的一切都要县太爷来拍板,本来县太爷除了县丞、主簿,还有一堆刑名师爷、钱粮师爷、刀笔师爷,现在闵县令这个半吊子县太爷一股脑儿全丢给了杨凌,就算是一个富有经验的绍兴师爷,怕也一时要心忙脚乱。 The sign room is the string candied fruit three one-story houses including to compose, usually the advisers and staff of county magistrate read the official documents and processing government affairs here. In front of the sign room is the county magistrate hears a case to decide the seven halls of matter, but back is a county magistrate dwelling. 签押房是串糖葫芦般的三间平房连起来组成的,通常县太爷的师爷、幕僚们就在这里阅览公文、处理政务。签押房前边就是县太爷问案决事的七品正堂,而后边则是县太爷一家的住处。 Since helped Ma Family solve the human life lawsuit, County Magistrate Min appreciated to him greatly, immediately then asked him to be the adviser to your family place. Yang Ling was worrying that from is idle, was being supported very also shameless by a little miss, immediately joyfully compliance. 自从帮助马家解决了人命官司,闵县令对他大为赞赏,当下便请他到府上担任师爷。杨凌正愁自已无所事事,被一个小姑娘养活着忒也无耻,当下欣然应允。 However as a result of Han Youniang that plaintive look, he must state clearly to County Magistrate Min, being the adviser is also only expedient measure, when next year term examination, must go to the provincial capital to attend the provincial-level civil service examination, County Magistrate Min also readily agrees. 不过由于韩幼娘那哀怨的眼神,他只得对闵县令言明,做师爷也只是权宜之计,待来年大考,还是要去省城参加乡试的,闵县令也一口答应。 Actually he from knowing the will of heaven shortly, usually inquired that also knows even if at that time tested into the foremost person in the field, the best result was still stays in Capital City to be an academician to edit, can be assigned away from the capital a county magistrate to be great immediately, simply did not have the high official to do, now also stems from the sense of responsibility of love and man of Han Youniang, wants to leave behind a family property to her as far as possible, does not want to attend the provincial-level civil service examination, but could not support the tender feelings of woman, Han Youniang was young, was pair of quiet hidden bitterness resentful look, made him change the mind sufficiently, at least in the surface was so. 其实他自知命不久矣,平时向人打听也知道那时就算考上状元,最好的结果也就是留在京城做个翰林编修,能马上外放个知县就了不起了,根本没有大官可做,现在也只是出于对韩幼娘的疼爱和男人的责任感,想尽量给她留下一份家产而已,根本不想去参加乡试,只是架不住女人的柔情,韩幼娘年纪不大,可是一双幽幽怨怨的眼神儿,足以让他改变主意了,至少表面上是如此。 County Magistrate Min is the main strength family background, the trusted subordinate who leads is also becomes a soldier, governs with this county really knows nothing, in the county original County Deputy Huang is vaguely and ordinary like the clay sculpture woodcarving to him all day, sends the pay every month time can also see that he runs to get the meter/rice to draw money at the back of the spatial pocket, cannot see the shadow of this person simply. 闵县令是大兵出身,带过来的亲信也都是当兵的,与这一县治理实在一窍不通,县里原来的黄县丞对他不阴不阳、整天就象个泥塑木雕一般,要不是每月发饷银的时候还能看到他背着个空口袋跑来领米领钱,简直就看不到这个人的影子。 The Jimingyi common social practice is fortunately simple and honorable, more than two years also has no serious offense, but the period of achievements term examination , the royal government must inspect the official achievements shortly every three years, although County Magistrate Min the mind is thick, must be unavoidably from already calculating. 亏得鸡鸣驿民风淳朴,两年多来也没有什么大过,不过眼看每隔三年政绩大考之期将至,朝廷要考核官员政绩,闵县令虽然心眼儿粗,也不免要打些自已的小算盘。 The royal government term examination, do the achievements by what come? Actually only different/two kinds, governs next pure brightness, one is the taxes is prompt. So-called governs next pure brightness, without the farmer unrest, the merchant merchant strike and student protested and does not have the major cases, that then can report the piping time of peace scene of a high moral standard in society and law and order prevail. 朝廷大考,政绩由何而来？其实不外乎两样,一个治下清明,一个是税赋及时。所谓治下清明,只要没有农民骚乱、商人罢市、书生抗议、没有大案要案,那便可以上报个路不拾遗、夜不闭户的太平盛世景象了。 Jimingyi has two teams of officers, to add on the messengers of Yichengshu and county office again, strict of Yousheng the general third-class county management, for two years but actually no important matter happened. But this taxes promptly otherwise, because the local area is the places of many business guest collections and distributions, this business payment of taxes silver but actually also receives promptly, but the nearby resident takes in the mountain the inhabitant for many, usually the dwelling dispersed and was not manageable, in addition the hillside fields are barren, Mongolian harasses to grab once for a while, this taxes paid in grain payment is not quite ideal, when term examination unavoidably became the County Magistrate Min soft rib. 鸡鸣驿驻扎着两队官兵、再加上驿丞署、县衙门的差役们,管理之严尤胜一般的三等县,两年来倒没有什么大事发生。可是这税赋及时则不然了,由于本地是诸多商客集散之地,这商赋税银收得倒还及时,可是附近居民以山中住户为多,平时本就住处分散、不易管理,再加上山田贫脊、鞑子又时不时来骚扰劫掠一番,这粮税交纳颇不理想,大考之时不免成为闵县令的软肋了。 County Magistrate Min serves as an official to do ignorantly, went to a prefectural city few days ago, listened to Shangguan Laodiao such matter, knows that the civil official inspects many saying that was worrying does not know how should show off from already achievements, the space falls down Yang husband, he naturally entrusts with an important task, longed for that he can help from cause the nice result. 闵县令做官做得浑浑噩噩,也是前些日子去了趟府城,听了上官唠叼这样事,才知道文官考核有诸多说道,正愁着不知该如何显摆自已的政绩,天上掉下个杨相公,他自然委以重任,企盼他能帮助自已弄出一点象样的成绩来。 But the government operation method of this time is really not Yang Ling can find that Yang Ling previous generation, although achieves the department head of insurance company, but that time management structure and system, without this department head, the operation of entire organization will not come under too many influences, now is different, almost the joyful and sad occasions want him to make a decision, Yang Ling made badly battered, then the daily official documents process continually clearly, how cannot have achievements. 可是这个时代的政府运作方法实在不是杨凌所能了解的,杨凌的前世虽然做到保险公司的处长,但那时的管理架构和制度,哪怕没有这个处长,整个机构的运作也不会受到太多的影响,现在则不同,几乎大事小情都要他来拿主意,杨凌闹了个焦头烂额,便连日常的公文都处理不明白,如何能有所建树。 He straight body, beats the waist to read that pile of records distressfully, close to the end of the year, hands over the transporting place to have the western region special product that a number of Imperial Palace manage to transport to Capital City, the large cart and mule uses insufficiently, requested that the county administration solves. 他直了直身子,捶着后腰愁眉苦脸地看着那一堆案卷,临近年关,递运处有一批大内采办的西域特产要运往京城,大车和骡马不敷使用,请求县衙予以解决。 Meets the receiving place to receive the Ministry of War official letter, in the near future will have the army to transfer, must in the night after Jimingyi, this night open the city gate, to arrange the messengers and officers guards the city gate, to take strict precautions against some people while to enter a city also to arrange at night randomly well. 接承处接到兵部公函,近期有大军调动,要在夜间经过鸡鸣驿,这夜间开放城门、安排差役和官兵把守城门、严防有人夜间趁乱进城也需好好安排一番。 The end of the year is near, the curfew has cancelled, related public security, arresting a thief and other matters, he is the criminal case secretary, naturally must arrange to process to him on. 年关将近,宵禁已经取消,有关治安、缉盗等方面的事,他是刑名师爷,自然也要安排到他身上来处理。 The smoke news and hot news related needed materials of beacon tower need to replace, the farm cattle of suburbs Dou to be missing, the city west Liujiaao domestic three years of big fat pig to be robbed, Lijiaji several vagabonds to sexually harass young widow easily, the child of city north boss Hao to play the firecracker to ignite the firewood pile of He, He Jia visit theory injured the daughter-in-law of Hao, Hao considered He Jia to come to commit murder to offend somebody, He considers Hao to ignite the fire. 烽火台的烟讯、火讯有关用料需要更换了、城郊窦家的耕牛失踪了、城西刘家坳易家养了三年的大肥猪被盗了、李家集几个地痞调戏小寡妇儿了、城北头儿郝家的孩子玩炮仗点着了贺家的柴禾垛,贺家上门理论打伤了郝家的儿媳妇,郝家告贺家上门行凶伤人,贺家告郝家引燃大火。 What awfully is, the peasant household that falls behind the government authorities taxes are too really many, some only towed for 1-2 years, some fall behind is ten years, the Chen Zhima rotten millet, does not have a clue simply. 更要命的是,拖欠官府税赋的农户实在太多,有的只拖了1-2,有的拖欠已达十年之久,陈芝麻烂谷子,简直没个头绪。 From the beginning Yang Ling also pounds on the table to want the king Squad Leader belt/bring person to go falling behind most, time longest defiant person Hong Mancang (full warehouse) grasps, wants to come to execute one person as a warning to others, when listened to king Squad Leader to tell on him the taking office county magistrate to use this method, finally also compelled Hong Mancang (full warehouse) wife to hang oneself, Hong Mancang (full warehouse) to become the half-crazy half summit, after matter bore children knows indignantly by some writers, on matter noisy household section, after the county magistrate dismissed from office the matter that removed must give up. 一开始杨凌还拍着桌子要王班头带人去把拖欠最多、时间最长的刁民洪满仓抓来,想来个杀一儆百,待听王班头告诉他上上任县太爷曾经用过这个法儿,结果逼得洪满仓的老婆上吊、洪满仓也变得半疯半颠,事情被一些文人举子知道后愤愤不平,事情闹上户部,县官罢官免职的事之后只得作罢。 Official in charge of documents and archival materials king Yangzheng looked this young colleague treats people, management to be earnest friendly, therefore told him secretly, County Deputy Huang stayed the year long, he to serve two county magistrates in this county, person who this old county assist has the means very much, could be the slippery customers on government, might as well sought help from him. 还是主簿王养正看这位年轻的同僚待人和气、办事认真,于是偷偷告诉他,黄县丞在本县呆得年头最长、他已经侍候了两任县太爷了,这位老县丞是个很有办法的人,算得上官场上的老油条了,不妨求助于他。 Yang Ling listened to this saying to clench teeth and buy ten jin (0.5 kg) fat pork, one package of good tea to come to seek for advice, that County Deputy Huang taught the little grandson to practice calligraphy unexpectedly hand in hand, listening to the Yang Ling purpose in coming to be light smiles, performs pulled some no is not willing to help him kibitz, but that pork and tea leaves were actually honest kindly accepted immodestly, made that Yang Ling did not know whether to laugh or cry. 杨凌听了这话咬了咬牙、买了十斤肥猪肉、一包好茶上门求教,谁料那黄县丞只是手把手地教小孙子练字,听了杨凌的来意只是淡淡一笑,尽扯些有的没的就是不肯帮他支支招儿,不过那猪肉和茶叶倒是老实不客气地笑纳了,弄得杨凌哭笑不得。 „Oh!” Remembers this matter, Yang Ling sighs layer on layer/heavily, a little loves dearly from spent that 24 writing money, in the family/home that small girl buys the meat occasionally, digs up to draw to his bowl, from does not hate to eat one, the one had only known might as well with going home to give that pitiful and lovable little girl the meat hits to have a sumptuous meal. “唉！”想起这事儿,杨凌重重地叹了口气,有点儿心疼自已花的那二十四文钱,家里那个小丫头偶尔买点肉,都扒拉到他碗里,自已不舍得吃一口,早知如此还不如把肉拿回家给那可怜又可爱的小女孩儿打打牙祭呢。 He takes pen in hand, calculates the good result writes on assumes the land tax that in the official documents of household section will report will need next year: „Jimingyi official alley difference total 79 people, errand runners and minor employee 158 people, in city garrison troops 260 people, long-distance coolie 45 people, post horse 82, annual pay 76,472, horse material 52 stones. In addition: The west gate fights the stage to present the fissure, must patch, the idea needs the silver coins 1162”. 他提起笔来,将算好的结果写在上呈户部的公文上申报明年所需的钱粮:“鸡鸣驿一众官员衙差共计79人,驿卒158人,城内守军260人,长夫45人,驿马82匹,年支饷银7647两,马料52石。另:西城门战台出现裂痕,需予修补,计需银两116两”。 Takes to blow the above ink marks the official documents post, put in processing carefully in one pack of official documents, curtain lifts, a azure robe person took a step. In the room several other are responsible for transcribing that reorganizes petty official being busy of copy clerk to stand saying: „Sir Min”. 将公文贴子拿起来吹了吹上面的墨迹,小心地搁在处理好的一叠公文上,门帘儿一掀开,一个青袍人举步走了进来。屋里另外几个负责抄录整理文书的小吏忙站起来道:“闵大人”。 Yang Ling looks up, sets out to salute hastily. That person of County Magistrate Min, wore the body common clothes, he beckons with the hand at will, screamed to shout: „Good was good, seeing the weather is common, but also the good any ritual, saw that the double-hour, does not disperse early today”. 杨凌抬头一看,连忙也起身施礼。那人正是闵县令,穿了身寻常衣裳,他随意地摆了摆手,大声嚷嚷道:“行了行了,见天儿常见,还行个啥礼,眼瞅着时辰不早了,今天都散了吧”。 That several petty officials start to pack the thing busily obsequious respectively, Sir Min arrive in front of Yang Ling, saw him to process nearly half of official documents, turned upwards the thumb saying: „Mister good skill, this county to look at these things on the headache, cannot think that you processed half quickly, ha haha”. 那几个小吏忙唯唯喏喏地开始各自收拾东西,闵大人走到杨凌面前,见他已处理好了近一半的公文,不禁翘起大指赞道:“先生好本事,本县一看这些东西就头疼,想不到你这么快就处理了一半,哈哈哈”。 The Yang Ling forced smile, he processes indeed quickly, but mostly is the thing that under the deck meets, truly thorny where wants to process is so quick, and does not raise the person who these aging fall behind the payment of taxes to want the gate don't kind, the evil intention falls behind, truly, these statistical survey work must be done poor for a long time. 杨凌苦笑不已,他处理得的确很快,不过大多都是上承下接的东西,真正棘手的想要处理起来哪有这么快的,且不提那些陈年拖欠赋税的人要门别类,恶意拖欠的、确实家境贫寒的,这些统计调查工作就要做上许久。 When these this were lost the farm cattle and that to be stolen case which of fat pig must process does not need to send several people to go, investigated most quickly also for three days five days, these disintegration things were not big, but which important person required the time, must process to want quickly also quickly not. 单是那些这家走失了耕牛、那家被偷了肥猪的案子哪一件要处理时不需要派几个人去,调查起来最快也得三天五天,这些散碎事情都不大,可是哪一件都要人要时间,要处理起来想快也快不了。 Before looked television these served as an official often did surveys in a quiet way, checked to come to light the case, it seems like it was is purely talked nonsense, day of some so many things must be done, where often left the yamun to check what case by him personally. 以前看电视那些做官的动不动就微服私访,把案子查个水落石出,看来是纯属扯淡了,一天有这么多事情要做,哪里由得他动不动就离开官衙亲自去查什么案子。 However these matters he is naturally unsuitable to complain to the county magistrate, must say repeatedly: „Where where, the Sir overpraised”. 不过这些事他自然不便向县太爷诉苦,只得连声道:“哪里哪里,大人过奖了”。 Had a look at these petty officials to be exposed, the County Magistrate Min racket his shoulder said grinningly: „I am a careless person, does not need to come scholar that set with me, when does not have no need for such air/Qi in the tribunal. Right, tidies up follows me quickly, Ma Yicheng to thank your me, asking us to go to Hongyan Building to drink to see a play”. 看看那些小吏都走光了,闵县令笑嘻嘻地拍拍他的肩膀道:“我是个粗人,不用跟我来读书人那一套,不在公堂上时用不着这么着气。对了,收拾收拾赶快跟我走,马驿丞为了答谢你我,请我们去鸿雁楼喝酒看戏呢”。 Yang Ling listened to hesitate saying: „? Whether this Sir advances one step, I must first go home one to tell the wife one, so as to avoid she worries at home”. 杨凌听了不禁踌躇道:“啊？这个大人是否先行一步,我得先回家一趟告诉内人一声,免得她在家牵挂”。 County Magistrate Min laughs loudly, to rub beard beat a fist on his shoulder ruthlessly, ridicules saying: „Where comes this to be wordy, when the man, wants to go home naturally went home, when does not want to go back the woman is staying at home well, told her to do really? Walks, young but actually in lived to fear the problem”. 闵县令放声大笑,一撸胡子在他肩上狠狠捶了一拳,笑骂道:“哪来这许多啰嗦,男人嘛,想回家时自然就回家了,不想回去时女人就好好在家呆着,告诉她作甚？走走走,年轻轻的倒生了个惧内的毛病”。 County Magistrate Min also he explained things, draws him to go out then walks, Yang Ling was helpless, must go along with him. County Magistrate Min wore the civilian clothes, the non- official who sits in his office sedan, in addition this Jimingyi city is not then big, in the north-south city gates only then four li (0.5 km), Hongyan Building by Jinguang Temple, is only away from a street with the county administration, did not ride the sedan patiently. 闵县令也不由他分说,拉着他出门便走,杨凌无奈,只得随他而去。闵县令既穿了便服,便也不坐官轿,加上这鸡鸣驿城也不大,南北城门间只有四里地,鸿雁楼就在金光寺旁,和县衙只隔着一条街,更不耐烦坐轿去了。 Two people walked Hongyan Building, Ma Yicheng and Ma Ang and Ma Lian'er have waited in a building private room, here was a theater, said is, also to be separated some independent spaces in center good position with the screen. 两个人步行到了鸿雁楼,马驿丞和马昂、马怜儿早已在一楼雅座相候,这里本来是个戏院子,说是雅间,也不过是在正中的好位置处用屏风间隔出一些独立的空间罢了。 The one who made Yang Ling accidental/surprised was County Deputy Huang unexpectedly also, meets unavoidably each other smalltalk. Ma Ang closed/pass for more than ten days in the prison, that hot tempered temper restrained much, saw savior Yang Ling, among the facial expressions is greatly intimate, goes forward then to hold on to his arm, the expression of gratitude. 令杨凌意外的是黄县丞居然也在,见了面不免彼此客套一番。马昂在大牢里关了十多天,那暴躁的性子收敛了不少,见了救命恩人杨凌,神情间大是亲热,上前便把住他的手臂,道谢不已。 Yang Ling and Ma Ang with are young people, but gentle and elegant delicate, vigorous tall and strong, heavy features, quite hits it off well with one another unexpectedly, actually a different number. Ma Lian'er today is only the pale powder and pretty makeup person, when charming face that suitable happy is angry suitably to Yang Ling the facial expression may act with constraint much. 杨凌和马昂同为年轻人,不过一个文质彬彬、俊雅秀气,一个矫健魁梧、浓眉大眼,竟也颇为投缘,倒是一桩异数。马怜儿今天只是淡施脂粉、靓妆可人,一副宜喜宜嗔的娇媚面孔对着杨凌时神情可矜持了不少。 The Yang Ling measuring appliance is uncommon, first meeting, in the Ma Lian'er heart had several points to like to him, but along with, even if knows that he had married the wife, to him, Ma Lian'er then already treated as the benefactor with liking the opposite sex friend. 杨凌仪表不凡,初次见面,马怜儿芳心之中就对他有了几分喜爱,只是随即便知道他已经娶了妻子,对他,马怜儿便已当作恩人与喜欢的异性朋友罢了。 Concubine's status could not be higher than several points the servants, don't said that he was only a scholar, even if he saved the governor, although Ma Lian'er was only the daughter of low level government official family/home, has not made concubine's possibility decisively, therefore the feelings had been strangled in the seed. 妾的身份比奴婢高不了几分,莫说他只是个秀才,就算他是一省巡抚,马怜儿虽只是个低级官吏家的女儿,也断然没有作妾的可能,所以情愫已被扼杀在萌芽之中。
