Chapter 96: Idle Officials Busy (Part 1)

"Chen Fei, you are the local parent here, and you can be considered half of the master. Take me around and see how?" Princess Wanchun said.

Princess Wanchun hopes that Chen Fei can take her around to see the scenery. As for the scenery, it is second to see it. After all, there are not many scenery here to see. But the point is that she asks Chen Fei to take her to see it. The important thing is that the person who takes her to see the scenery. Why should Princess Wanchun come to Shuo County to take care of Li Lizhi? Is it because she is her aunt? This is obviously impossible. The point is that Chen Fei is the county magistrate in Shuo County. If Chen Fei had not been the county magistrate in Shuo County, Princess Wanchun would not have come to "take care of" her niece.

"Princess, I'm a little busy today, I'm afraid I don't have time!" Chen Fei said.

When Princess Wanchun heard this, her face turned down. Chen Fei was so disrespectful. Originally, the meaning of his princess invited him to go out was obvious enough, but Chen Fei was still so ignorant, which made Princess Wanchun a little angry.

"Princess, you see, after I have finished my business during this period of time, I will definitely go and play with you. OK?" Chen Fei asked.

Princess Wanchun snorted in a low voice: "A bastard who is unfamiliar with the charm!"

Princess Wanchun left immediately, and the official Fang Shuzuo Yang Jiaxiang next to him immediately asked curiously: "Mr. Chen County, now our Shuo County is in the slack farming period and does not need to organize the people to farm. There have been no cases recently, so it is still very leisurely. Why don't you accompany the princess to play? If you can win the princess's favor, then will your future be extraordinary? Moreover, the most important reason is that you will not delay official duties. After all, there are no official duties to deal with recently, and they are very leisurely. You have given up the opportunity to accompany the princess in order to handle these unimportant official duties, so this is not..."

Yang Jiaxiang did not say the word behind. Obviously, this is just a fool? As long as the princess can be happy, then maybe the princess will go back and say a few good things to the emperor. Isn’t it much better for her future? Why have many officials liked to please the relatives of their superiors since ancient times, and did they want these people to help her speak a few good words in front of her superiors? But now Chen Fei has given up the opportunity to accompany Princess Wanchun for the sake of uneasy official duties. Isn’t this just to be far away? If Chen Fei had not been the county magistrate, he would have been scolded by Yang Jiaxiang long ago. Don’t waste opportunities so much!

"Didn't you say you're very leisurely now? You'll give me all the official duties for the next month at one time! I'll have to work overtime in the past few days!" Chen Fei said.

"Working overtime?" Yang Jiaxiang didn't know what it meant.

Soon, Yang Jiaxiang brought the official duties that he had to handle for a whole month. In order to get the official duties that he had to handle for a month, Yang Jiaxiang deliberately ordered the clerk below to find out some things even if he had nothing to do. In other words, he deliberately wanted to increase the workload of Chen Fei, the county magistrate. Chen Fei did not need to handle it, and he handed over the matter to Chen Fei. Everyone couldn't figure out what Chen Fei was thinking, but he was the county magistrate, so he could handle it himself.

"Okay, it's getting close to dusk, you guys go get off work!" Chen Fei said.

But Yang Jiaxiang immediately said: "Mr. Chen, if you don't get off work, how dare we go back!"

"Let you go back quickly and go back, don't talk so much nonsense! I'll stay here to handle official duties!" Chen Fei said.

"this……"

These clerks thought that Chen Fei was so stupid that he took the initiative to seek death for himself. He took the initiative to increase his workload. Recently, it was obviously the most leisurely time, but Chen Fei was still so busy. No one understood what this means. Since ancient times, everyone liked high-paying positions with high salary? But Chen Fei, this guy, not only did not think about leisure, but also increased his workload, which made everyone unable to understand. But if they couldn't figure it out, they didn't think about it. Since County Magistrate Chen got off work for himself, they took the initiative to get off work and didn't have to stay here to accompany Chen Fei.

"It's the third update!"

The day passed quickly, and it was at 3 o'clock in the evening. This time was probably 11 o'clock in the evening in later generations. At this time, for the ancients, they had been resting for a long time. Even for later generations, there were not many people working at this time. However, the second halls of Shuo County Government were still on, and it was obvious that there were still people working.

Chen Fei gave all the documents one by one, and these documents were all planned for the next month, and now they will be completed within a few days. But in fact, these documents do not require so many, but Chen Fei deliberately asked them to condense them to a few days to process them, so Chen Fei seemed very busy. However, Chen Fei had his own ideas to do this.

"Chen Fei, why are you still doing things? Let's take a break quickly!" Princess Wanchun said.

Princess Wanchun saw Chen Fei so "hard" that she felt a little heartbroken, so she came over and persuaded Chen Fei to take a break. After all, Princess Wanchun also regarded Chen Fei as one of the closest people she was, so of course she couldn't bear to see Chen Fei so much. So she persuaded Chen Fei and let him have a good rest.

"Princess, I have to deal with it as much as possible. Since ancient times, officials have to work diligently. If they are not diligent, the people will suffer." Chen Fei said.

"Hmph, I just think about your official position. Is there anything else in your eyes?" Princess Wanchun asked unhappily.

Chen Fei said helplessly: "If I don't make my official hat bigger, then how can I talk to you at that time!"

Of course Chen Fei knew that although Princess Wanchun had the right to choose her husband, if her husband had a low status, she would not have face! So of course Chen Fei had to find a way to be promoted as soon as possible so that he could speak to her and then have the opportunity to marry her.

Chen Fei, an official who was born in the imperial examination, was already one step behind those officials of those aristocratic families. Many of those aristocratic families entered the officialdom at the age of ten, and were able to become sixth and seventh rank officials at the age of sixteen or seventeen, while they became fifth ranks at the age of twenty. Moreover, officials of those aristocratic families can be promoted first, so the advantage is not just a little bit. Chen Fei has checked the information and actually many aristocratic families were monopolized by officials in the early years of the Tang Dynasty. It is a bit difficult to be an official of a poor family!
