Chen Fei's carriage came to Shuozhou City and was preparing to take over as the county magistrate of Shuo County under Shuozhou. Because Shuo County is a county attached to Guo, the county magistrate is actually in the city, so the governor and his county magistrate are actually working in the same city. The biggest disadvantage is that the influence of the superiors is too great. As long as someone gives an order, you can come here to trouble you. There are many positions in the prefecture government offices, although they seem to be relatively low, but what people say in front of the governor, you must be careful to serve them. So it is very troublesome. This is why one is not the reason why he should not be the county magistrate of Guo County. As for now, Chen Fei has no choice but to be the county magistrate of Guo County.

Chen Fei's carriage arrived outside the county government office, and as soon as he got off the carriage, Chen Fei frowned. However, what surprised Chen Fei was that the county government office was deserted and very secluded. Chen Fei slowly walked outside the gate and knocked on the door.

"Who!" a person who looked like a clerk came out and asked.

Chen Fei saw this scene and immediately asked: "Is this how you work? Today should be a day when you open the door to work, why are you so negligent? Don't you know that the court spent money to support you to let you do things well and serve the people? But now you are all lazy, what do you think?"

"Who are you? Even the magistrate of Niu County is like this. What's the case with us?" asked the clerk.

"Who am I? Look at what this is!" Chen Fei took out the official document given to him by the Ministry of Personnel.

The clerk was very disdainful at the beginning, but after reading the official document, he immediately said arrogantly and respectfully: "Oh, it's the new county magistrate, please hurry up. Our Niu County Magistrate has been waiting for a long time, so please hurry up and hand over to the Niu County Magistrate, and then prepare to take office!"

Chen Fei looked at the clerk coldly, and finally knew what kind of birds this Shuo County was. With a lazy and irresponsible county magistrate, his subordinates would naturally be the same as the upper beams and the lower beams were crooked. Since the county magistrates were so irresponsible, the subordinates, the chief clerks, county magistrates, and even ordinary clerks and clerks were naturally extremely lazy. This is what the so-called top leader brought about, and the top leader could influence many people. If the top leader is a good official, then it could also influence many people. If the top leader is not a good official, then the subordinates would be dragged into the water. This situation will be the same until later generations. This is actually the biggest drawback of man's governance. If you want to change this situation, you must let the government evolve into the rule of law.

However, Chen Fei knew that it was impossible for the government to evolve into the rule of law in a short period of time, but Chen Fei also knew that after he took over, the first thing he had to do was to catch was discipline. Judging from the situation of the county government today, if the discipline was not grasped, he would not know what it would become in the future.

"Oh, County Magistrate Chen, you are so young and promising! You have become a county magistrate so young, and your future is limitless! And I heard that County Magistrate Chen was born in the imperial examination, so he is a capable person! Unlike those of us who are ordinary scholars, they are discriminated against!" County Magistrate Niu laughed.

Chen Fei saw that Niu County Magistrate was about forty years old, and he was still a county magistrate. In ancient times, he had no future. He claimed that he was also a clerk, so he might have slowly climbed up from an ordinary clerk. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, many lower-level officials were gradually promoted from an ordinary clerk, and then became officials of the grade level through the opportunity of entering the river. However, people with such backgrounds were much worse than those who rely on their parents' family background and those who had imperial examinations.

Chen Fei actually believed that the officials who climbed up the lower class were the best, but in ancient times, this was a feudal era, which focused on the knowledge of Confucianism and did not pay attention to the experience of lower class work. If there were two people, one was from the imperial examination and the other was from the low-class scholar, the ones who were given priority were definitely those from the imperial examination. And almost no one of these scholars had ever been prime ministers. Therefore, such people were discriminated against and it was difficult to have any good future. In the Song Dynasty, such people were suppressed and almost impossible to be promoted to officials above the eighth rank. As for the Ming and Qing dynasties, they were even more humble.

Chen Fei is both pitiful and hateful to such people. Poor because they are responsible for the most ordinary administrative work in a country, equivalent to civil servants in later generations. However, their salary is very low, and there is no way to compare with civil servants in later generations. Whether from income or social status, their promotion channels are very discriminated against and they are almost unable to be promoted. Even a small number of people who have the opportunity to become officials cannot become senior officials. When there is no hope of promotion, they think about how to live by themselves, and be a monk and a bell for one day. Many people even began to use the power in their hands to engage in corruption, so in ancient times, there was the saying that the official was as slippery as oil.

The Niu County Magistrate is now an official who is a clerk, and he is old and has no hope of promotion, so he has many situations of just living by himself, not seeking merit but seeking nothing wrong. Chen Fei is very unaware of this guy who has been used to become a rubber man by time, so Chen Fei does not intend to use any good attitude to treat him.

"Mr. Niu County, my official documents are real. Have you verified it? If it is verified, then hand over it quickly and I can take over it." Chen Fei said lightly.

"It's really boring!" The magistrate of Niu County cursed inwardly.

County Magistrate Niu verified Chen Fei's handover document, then took out the county magistrate's seal and printed the seal on the blank area on the document, and then signed his own name. Chen Fei also signed the document and also printed the seal, so that the handover was completed.

"Niu County Magistrate, we have completed the handover and I have officially taken office. Now you are no longer the magistrate of Shuo County, you can leave! I will give you an hour, pack up your things and leave quickly!" Chen Fei said coldly, obviously he had no good impression of mediocre officials like Niu County Magistrate.

"You--" The Niu County Magistrate was so angry that he couldn't speak. Even if he was his ex, the handover was completed. Chen Fei shouldn't speak to him so rudely!

"Let's go!" Niu County Magistrate Niu Tou left, obviously not wanting to say much to Chen Fei.
Chapter completed!
