Chapter 84 It will be too late if we don’t hurry up!
"Mr. Jia, please."

"Master, please don't call me Mr., I really can't bear this title, it really makes me ashamed, just call me Wenhe."

"Okay, okay, Wenhe, Chief Clerk Jian is just ahead."

Liu Bei welcomed Jia Xu into the county government with a smile, and he gave Jia Xu almost the greatest respect.

Gongcao was in charge of political achievements and merit assessment, but his power did not stop there. He was also able to interfere in all government affairs except personnel matters.

Although he is not as good as the chief of all officials and focuses on military affairs, he is not as good as the chief secretary.

It is definitely not something that the chief clerk in charge of documents can do.

The position of Chief Clerk of Jincheng County was given to Hua Tuo, and the greatest sincerity Liu Bei could show was the Gongcao.

We can't just take out the Inspector who is responsible for supervising subordinates. A county is so big that there are four Inspectors in the county government.

Liu Bei asked again tentatively: "What about the assistant secretary under Gongcao?"
As a result, Jia Xu flatly refused. He was not a fool. How could he not see Liu Bei's intention? A scribe under the command of Gongcao? There was no Gongcao at the moment. He was the scribe under Gongcao. He was called a scribe, but in fact he was doing the work of Gongcao. In this way, how could he get by and do his job well? This was absolutely unacceptable.

Jia Xu replied: "It is better to be a secretary under the chief clerk."

Liu Bei immediately understood what Jia Xu meant. It turned out that Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe just wanted to find an easy official position.
But Wenhe, you made the wrong choice.
Liu Bei did not care and said no more. Instead, he nodded and agreed. He treated Jia Xu as before and wanted to send him to Jian Yong personally.

This surprised Jia Xu a little.

Liu Bei led Jia Xu through the corridor and passed a corner.

A noisy sound suddenly came out. Jia Xu looked over curiously. Officials of all ranks were busy running around. Suddenly, the bamboo slips that had been piled on the cabinet for a long time were about to collapse. Fortunately, an official stopped it with his body. Before Jia Xu and Liu Bei could come forward to help, several officials swarmed up and quickly propped up the cabinet.

The officials who picked up the bamboo slips did not classify them according to their different types, but instead reviewed and processed them.

Jia Xu's mouth froze, and he thought to himself: Oh no, did he make the wrong choice? Are these people subordinates of the chief clerk? ? ?

When Jia Xu and Liu Bei entered the house, the busy officials did not stop, but only respectfully called out to Liu Bei, "Lord Liu."

"Xianhe."

Liu Bei led Jia Xu to stop in front of a person.

Jia Xu raised his eyes and thought, is this person Jian Zhubu?
When Jia Xu was looking at Jian Yong, Jian Yong was also looking at Jia Xu. He had only heard of Jia Xu from Fa Zheng. During this period, he was concentrating on government affairs and didn't care about other things at all. He thought to himself: Someone who can be praised by Xiao Zhi must be extraordinary, right? Finally, I have a good helper.

"Xianhe, how have you been these days?"

"Thanks to the Lord, it's very good!" Jian Yong responded unhappily.

Liu Bei was not angry, but smiled and said: "Xianhe, let me introduce you to a great talent, the one behind me, his surname is Jia, his name is Xu, and his courtesy name is Wenhe. He is from Guzang, Liangzhou."

"Wenhe, this is Jian Zhubu, his surname is Jian, his given name is Yong, and his courtesy name is Xianhe."

Jia Xu hurriedly bowed and said, "Xu, I meet Master Jian."

"Mr. Jia, don't be polite."

Jian Yong, contrary to his usual behavior, stood up enthusiastically.

Jia Xu's mind was full of doubts. Why was even this Jian Zhubu so enthusiastic? How strange, how strange! When did he, Jia Xu, become so famous?

Jian Yong stood there in a daze. When he wanted to continue speaking, his words were stuck in his throat. This was not good. He did not seem to ask what official position Liu Bei gave to Jia Xu. Would he find someone to look after him like he did with Hua Tuo?

Thinking of this, Jian Yong shuddered violently.

Liu Bei understood Jian Yong's meaning at a glance, and without waiting for Jian Yong to ask, he added, "Xianhe, I will recruit Wenhe as the chief clerk."

Jian Yong was happy but also a little angry. He was happy to have a helper, but he was angry that the talented person recommended by Xiaozhi was only given the position of a clerk.
Seeing this, Jia Xu said, "Master Jian, I know myself well. I have no strengths. I am just an eight-foot tall man. I can only be a secretary because of your appreciation."

"I see."

The doubts that had been accumulating in Jian Yong's chest suddenly disappeared. He was not a fool. After listening to Jia Xu's words and seeing the helplessness in Liu Bei's eyes, he immediately understood that it must have been Jia Xu who took the initiative to request it.

"Xianhe, just treat Wenhe normally."

The soldiers arrived, and Liu Bei left in a hurry after saying this, leaving Jian Yong and Jia Xu staring at each other.

"Wenhe, have you ever been involved in government affairs?" "Jian Zhubu, I dare not lie, I am not familiar with government affairs. Although I have served as a minor official in the past, I did trivial things, which are really not worth mentioning."

"I see."

Jian Yong gave Jia Xu a high score in his heart. From what he heard from Jia Xu, he knew that he had been a minor official, like Gongming and Wenyuan? Was he involved in government affairs? Did he also come into contact with the people?
In any case, they are better than the soldiers who start from scratch, right?

Jian Yong nodded, "I understand."

No, you don't understand. Master Jian, am I talking about the same thing as you think?
Jia Xu looked at Jian Yong deeply. Under Jian Yong's expectant gaze, he wanted to say something but stopped. No, the matter would only make things worse. He gave up. Whatever.

"Okay, since Wenhe has no doubts, let me wait and start."

Jian Yong copied out a stack of bamboo slips and handed them to Jia Xu.

"Wenhe, there are some government affairs here that have been dealt with. Take a look first. I'm right next to you. If you have any questions, just ask me."

"it is good."

Jia Xu said nothing more. He took the bamboo slips and sat next to Jian Yong to read them. The more he read, the weirder his expression became. How could these political affairs be so simple? ? ? The result could be obtained with just a glance.

Jia Xu stole a glance at Jian Yong and found that Jian Yong was so focused that he was completely unaware of his gaze.

He raised his head and looked around.

What he saw instead were officials busy working, and the whole room was filled with the sound of bamboo slips being flipped.

This really made Jia Xu curious and confused.

What’s even more surprising is what happens next.

Time passed quietly as Jia Xu pretended to be serious and flipped through the bamboo slips. The light in the room had become dim, and a yellow halo appeared on the horizon.

For the entire afternoon, apart from going to the toilet and handling government affairs, he really didn't see anyone walking around casually, and no one came to care about him.

He felt like he had become the hermit of Nan Guo, who was just filling in the gaps among the mediocre performers.

Strange.

It's really weird.

Jia Xu also knew something about Jincheng County. There were a lot of government affairs piled up, but there was no need to work so hard, right?

Just as he thought, there were still people reading by candlelight at night.

Jian Yong's face changed and he said
"It's broken, it's broken, we have to speed up."

"?"

The strange behavior of the chief clerk aroused Jia Xu's curiosity, and he couldn't help asking, "Chief clerk Jian, what's wrong?"

"Of course Hua Changshi is back!"

"Hua Changshi?"

Jia Xu's curiosity grew stronger and stronger. He had met Hua Changshi before, a kind-hearted elder who cooperated with Captain Zhang. Why did this Jian Zhubu fear him like a wolf or a tiger?
"Wenhe, you don't know! If it's really Hua Changshi's footsteps, we will be too late!"

"Too late? Too late for what?"

"I don't have time to handle government affairs, so I'm forced to rest!"

"what?"

as predicted.

Not long after, Hua Tuo rushed in and drove them and Jian Zhubu out by himself.
