Chapter 569 You let me see the gate
In order to solve the matter that Chen Fang almost beat Gong Aoqing to death, Jimo came up with an idea to make Chen Fang an official. Only with such a status can Gong Xiaobai's side and the second prince's side have a good relationship with Gong Aoqing. Ao Qing will not be too passive in the event confrontation.
As for what kind of official Chen Fang should be, everyone decided on an official position after thinking about it for a while.
This official position is very small, but its responsibilities are very important. It can be regarded as the responsibility of the security of Indomitable City. The daily benefits of people's livelihood cannot be held by ordinary people, only the closest people can hold the post.
After the discussion, Wu Mei and Gong Xiaobai went to contact the noble concubine Wu Yaoyan to come forward, and the imperial court issued an appointment document on the same day, formally appointing Chen Fang to the official position, and the appointment document will be delivered to Unyielding City in due time. But Chen Fang was ready to work that day.
"City gate officer, what the hell, you let me see the gate!"
Chen Fang jumped up excitedly after hearing the official position that Meimei said.
I’m a young man, I’m not in my third year, my wife is not married and her career is not successful, what can I do, I have to go to the gate, why do you want me to retire early, drink tea on a reclining chair, watch the morning glow, the east rise, and the sunset go home?
"What about the gate? It's the city gate officer. It's responsible for access inspection, cooperating with tax collection, closing switches and other important responsibilities. It's an important official position at the gate of the unyielding city. This city gate officer is too important. It's so important that we don't dare to do it casually. If you find someone to be the one, you are afraid that the entrustment will be inhumane, and everyone in Unyielding City will be harmed." Charming said seriously.
"really?"
Chen Fang didn't believe it, the city gate official just looked at how important the gate was.
Gong Xiaobai came up to support Wu Mei and said, "Uncle, look, it's like that Unyielding City is our home, and the gate of this city is the door of our house. If the gate is not guarded, if the thieves come in and out at will and steal money, then our house is not It’s too bad. Besides, if the entrustment is not human, and there will be a siege battle in the future, once the door is opened, will the city be broken without even fighting, and the unyielding city will change hands like this. Do you think it is very important? , Is it necessary to let someone who everyone trusts be the one?"
"That's right." Chen Fang nodded.
Chen Fang himself has read a lot of historical novels, and recalled the incidents in ancient wars, some deeds that could easily break the city, often caused troubles at the city gate, either the city gate officials were bribed, or the gatekeepers on duty opened the city Na Jiang, donating one door to send one city away should not be too much, I have to say that the city gate official status is like a dog, but it is the most important thing, and only cronies can't be in charge.
"Uncle, you said that for everyone's safety, should I leave such an important position to the person I trust most? " Gong Xiaobai said with sincerity in his eyes.
Chen Fang looked at Gong Xiaobai's sincere eyes, scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed by what the other party said.
Chen Fang was a little confused, "This, Xiaobai, it's not that I'm being hypocritical and unwilling, it's just that this city gate official is a little too sloppy..."
"Chen Fang, do you think the status of the city gate officials is low and they have no rights, and if they speak out, they are like the gatekeepers at home. They will be despised and disrespected by others, and you also feel that this is for Xiaobai to be his subordinate. Very awkward."
Having known each other for so long, Mei Mei easily saw through Chen Fang's thoughts.
"How can it be, haha, haha." Chen Fang sneered, and the charming words hit his mind.
Chen Fang has such a mentality now, you see, the people he knows are all in important positions, and the charming Jimo is Gong Xiaobai's think tank and staff, equivalent to the existence of a military adviser, and also participates in the management of Unyielding City, and is known to patrol The captain of the team, responsible for cleaning up and expelling the mutated creatures within the territory of Unyielding City, who just looked at the gate when he fell on himself, was somewhat damaged in self-esteem and had a psychological gap.
What's more, becoming a city gate official is equivalent to becoming Xia Gong Xiaobai's subordinate, changing from an equal relationship to a subordinate relationship, which made Chen Fang a little uncomfortable. Although Gong Xiaobai's temperament would not put on airs, but It still made him feel awkward, which was the main reason for Chen Fang's entanglement.
Jimo walked up to Chen Fang and said softly, "Chen Fang, don't think too much, just treat it as a favor for Xiaobai, and we won't look down on you, and you should know that the purpose of letting you be the city gate official is to settle the situation. Gong Aoqing's affairs are the only ones that let you do it, and if the matter is resolved in the future, no one will stop you if you want to do it or not."
Hearing Jimo's words, Chen Fang suddenly realized that there was something wrong with his thinking just now, and he forgot that he came up with such an idea just to clean up the mess for him, and suddenly felt that he was too much and too hypocritical, and he was entangled here for the sake of face. It's so ignorant and flattering too much.
Chen Fang figured it out, and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, I really take myself too seriously. This city gate officer was thought up by everyone because of the trouble I caused before, and I'm still here to pick and choose. I really shouldn't be entangled, I'm sorry."
Everyone was relieved that Chen Fang was able to realize this, and they didn't really care if they apologized or not.
"Uncle, I don't know about other places, but in Unyielding City, the north and south gates, everything is up to you. No matter who it is, even if I get there, I have to follow your rules." Gong Xiaobai said solemnly.
By the way, Unyielding City has only two gates, north and south.
Gong Xiaobai directly delegated power and made a guarantee at the same time. If it is true as he said, then the status of the city gate official is different at least in Unyielding City. Regardless of the great power, at least on the one-third-acre land of the city gate, Chen There is no check and balance in defense, and it is quite free.
When Chen Fang heard this, it could be possible, and immediately raised his eyebrows and said happily: "Okay, okay."
"I give you power, but don't use it indiscriminately. Say it first. Xiaobai doesn't care about you. We didn't say it. Some rules that have been set before cannot be changed randomly. The rules that will be established in the future require our consent to implement them. Even if you do something wrong. It will be punished." Mei Mei pointed to Jimo and herself and said to Chen Fang.
Meimei and Jimo are not officials appointed by the imperial court, they are only assisting Gong Xiaobai in dealing with the big and small affairs of the Unyielding City in private, even though they are not officials, they can manage them, this is the power given to them by Gong Xiaobai.
What Mei Mei said was not aimed at Chen Fang, but she was simply afraid of him messing around. After all, Chen Fang was an inexperienced rookie, and the city gate was an unyielding city gate, so there should be some supervision.
Chen Fang didn't care about his charming attitude, and naturally he wouldn't change the rules randomly. Isn't it good to follow the rules and go straight to it? It's even impossible to set up new rules. I feel that I am capable, so I might as well drink tea on a reclining chair when I have this time.
"When will I go to work? How many subordinates do I have?" Chen Fang asked.
"It's fine today, without subordinates." Charming said lightly.
Chen Fang listened and jumped, "No men? Are you kidding me? If you don't have men, let me guard the city gate. I can split it into ten or twenty parts, and it's impossible to guard the city gate separately."
