Chapter 330: The Old and New Prefects Gamble

Besides, he took out his signature move again, spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Nier, you don't know, it's not my business, I can't help it, just wait, that's two years of work." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xiao Nier always thought that his statement was an excuse to leave the first time to Pomegranate, but now seeing his bitter chirping, her heart immediately softened, and she didn't blame him, pretending to be happy.

"Brother, I said, then you don't feel bad, don't suffocate. Xiao Nier asked in a whisper.

"I'm also uncomfortable, so I can't be together now, otherwise it's even more uncomfortable. ”

Besides, I don't understand what the mechanism in my body is all about, and it is probably a protective measure. It's winter now, but in the spring when the spring flowers are blooming and the spring breeze is drunk, there was indeed a period of time when he was tormented and miserable, and he couldn't stop it.

He had seen several statues of Vajra Arhats, all of them had a painful expression, expressing puzzlement, and only after seeking advice from a great monk did he know that the most painful thing for people to quit instinctive desires is the most important thing, and after this pass, they will usher in the dawn of cultivation.

Su Dongpo once said that it is easy to endure pain, but it is difficult to endure itching, it is easy to endure crying, it is difficult to endure laughter, it is easy to endure death, and it is difficult to endure desire. This is the three easy and three difficult things in life, and this is also the truth. Dongpo has been romantic all his life, and there are countless bubble girls, and it is estimated that he is also deeply tormented by too strong desires, so he has such a life experience.

Ji Xiaolan, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, followed Su Dongpo everywhere and wrote a "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang", and also served as the chief compiler of the "Siku Quanshu", which can be regarded as a generation of celebrities, but in fact, he only learned how to deal with women, and he didn't even learn the surface of the moral article.

Besides, he is also an iron fan of Su Dongpo, but he doesn't want to learn, and he knows that he can't learn it at all. That kind of celestial man can only look up, and if he leans up, he will only be an imitation of Dongshi.

Xiao Nier secretly resented and left, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, and she was still muttering in her heart, is it that someone's immoral girl has bewitched Xiao Nier during the day? In the past two nights, Xiao Nier has persecuted him several times, so bitter.

Among the maids who came during the day, many of them have been broken, of course pomegranates and silk can't see it, but he, the miracle doctor, can see it at a glance, and as for who these girls lost their hands, he is not interested in inquiring. It's the same in those maid rings in the palace, it is estimated that they were all poisoned by the little prince, this is nothing, anyway, those personal maid rings, in addition to being concubines for the master, are with the children of the family, relatively speaking, they prefer to choose the former.

Besides, she didn't deceive Xiao Nier, she really practiced calligraphy in the middle of the night, and then began to meditate until dawn, and then went out to practice the five bird opera to warm up.

Day after day, the Spring Festival has arrived in an instant, and every family has hung lanterns, and the banks of Suzhou Creek are full of river lanterns, reflecting the entire river surface like a fire dragon.

Moreover, the same is true at home, there are lanterns hanging at the gates of the inner and outer courtyards, and small lanterns are also hung on the withered branches of several large trees.

The little prince followed Wei Guogong back to Nanjing for the New Year, and the New Year is also a major day to worship their ancestors, so of course they can't stay in Suzhou.

Fang Buzhan still stayed in Suzhou, and he had the posture of vowing not to withdraw troops if he did not solve the case. Under the persuasion of Wei Guogong, Lian Daning also began to hand over the official duties of the successor Suzhou prefect, and all the accounts of the yamen were spread out on a table in the lobby, and the successor prefect led his staff to check and check item by item.

Lian Daning had a deficit of 67,000 taels of silver on his account, and the two of them played Tai Chi every day because of this. The successor prefect also understands that this is a common practice, and everyone knows that after he has been for one or two terms, maybe the deficit is more than now, and the purpose of the inspection is just to want Lian Daning to take out his personal money to make up for him.

Lian Daning is such a strong person, even if the other party is a protégé of Gao Gong, he will not give an inch, and list the sources and reasons for these deficits one by one, most of which are necessary to be sent in the officialdom, and the number of gifts given to the major yamen of the six ministries of the Nanjing Cabinet every year, and he did not stuff a tael of silver into his pocket.

Lian Daning's accounts look seamless, God knows how many ambushes were fought inside, a banquet costs fifty taels of silver, and two hundred taels are made in the accounts, anyone can do this kind of accounting, and they must do this, otherwise the official will not be able to live.

Facing the accounts, the successor prefect smiled silently. The two are competing openly and secretly, and the two sides are betting on scheming to see who can't hold on.

Lian Daning is not afraid, he is willing to accept it or not, anyway, he is not in a hurry. As for the shortfall, he was not afraid of people grabbing pigtails, and after Fang Buzhan looked at the accounts, he also nodded frequently: "It should be the same." "He is a prefect, so he can naturally understand what is going on at a glance.

The successor prefect has just been transferred from a poor county, and he has not made any oil or water in the past few years. Unfortunately, at that time, the real estate was privately owned, and the government did not have the right to buy and sell land.

Lian Daning was not in a hurry, and the successor prefect also dragged on, but he refused to sign the handover documents. If the new official does not sign, it means that the handover has not been completed, and Lian Daning cannot leave. When it came to the Spring Festival, the two were still so stiff, and Fang Buzhan mediated twice, but it didn't work. The successor prefect opened a minimum condition, wanting him to sign the handover documents, and the deficit must be added to the deficit by two and one, that is, Lian Daning has to pay 30,000 taels of silver privately.

After Lian Daning found out, he replied that don't say 30,000 taels, even if he doesn't give three taels, he is willing to spend me with me to the end.

The emperor is not in a hurry to be a eunuch, Fang Buzhan can't hold back, he has already heard some rumors, Lian Daning is operating in secret, and wants to be transferred to Nanjing, in that case, his plan to thoroughly investigate Lian Daning will fail. No, he went to persuade the successor prefect again, who knew that this person was also a stubborn species, and he didn't have 30,000 taels of silver to make up for it, so he said that he wouldn't take this stall, otherwise he would ask his boss Yamen to adjudicate.

During this period, Lian Daning visited Chen Musa twice in private to explain the situation, but Chen Musa just told him one sentence: "There are many people who want to sit in the position of Suzhou prefect, and he has picked it? ”

Chen Musa is good friends with Zhang Juzheng, but he is very disgusted with Gao Gong. Gao Gong relied on his high talent, and won the trust of His Royal Highness King Yu, with a high-spirited style, except for the emperor and King Yu, no one in the world was in his eyes, even when the first assistant Xu Jie, he dared to step on it.

Gao Gong and Xu Jiedou actually have nothing to do with Chen Musa, what makes the old master angry is that he still steps on Zhang Juzheng and Chen Yiqin, two colleagues, everywhere. In fact, these two people were both instructors of the crown prince Yuwang, and they will definitely be ranked as prime ministers and scholars in the future.

A moment of pride does not mean that a lifetime is smooth.

The fall of Gao Gong is doomed, in fact, the nail has long been buried, and in the first year of Shenzong's accession to the throne, he was dismissed from the capital and blasted out of the capital, and he was not even given a stagecoach, so he had to hire a car all the way back to his hometown.

Hearing Chen Musa's words, Lian Daning was more confident, and went back to deliberately shoot the case and let the people below pass the word, not to mention 30,000 taels of silver, and there was no money.

Fang Buzhan was really anxious, he was full of fire, and his boss yamen ruled that he was the boss yamen, how could he decide? You let the officials not lose money, okay, in the future, the senior officials of the central and provincial government yamen will bring dry food and clean water to do things by themselves, and let the local people pull the carts and build the roads. Whoever sets this rule is to be scolded for being stinky, especially in Suzhou, how can the big man go home empty-handed, not to mention anything else, each person wants a few pieces of Suzhou embroidery is worth a lot of money, and it is strange that the accounts are not empty.

Of course, the successor prefect also has its own difficulties, if you admit it now, needless to say that the account deficit will increase several times when you leave office, the problem is that you don't have the money to spend now. In the first two years, the new officials have to carry out some policies to benefit the people, and they can't just make money. During this period, not to mention how the family he brought with him lived, the staff who followed him also asked him to pay a monthly salary.

Although everyone knows about the deficit, no one will say that this is the unspoken rule of officialdom. It's like a game of drumming and passing flowers, maybe when it stops, the flowers will be unlucky in someone's hands. At this time, the deficit is a big crime, and there is no need to add the crime, and the corruption case is clear.

The main culprit of Taizu's embezzlement case had to be skinned and hung in various pavilions for public display, but now although it is not so cruel, it is indispensable to be exempted from official exile, and it is even possible to go to prison for a few years, and the family property will be confiscated and returned to the public.

For example, if there is a big policy change in the imperial court, or the emperor's grace is vast, and the world is amnesty, the superior department can do tricks and kicks to write off all the deficits, but this kind of thing is hard to come by, relying on luck rather than ability.

The successor prefect saw Lian Daning's situation, knowing that the prefect of Suzhou was oily but under great pressure, and he couldn't help but be vigilant, if the book deficit continued to swell, it would be equivalent to pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers to be an official. In front of him, Lian Daning is still the first assistant protégé, and he was still squeezed out.

The successor of the prefect of Suzhou, surnamed Wei Minggao, is a native of Quanzhou, Fujian, but he looks like a northern man, and looks more powerful than Lian Daning.

Although he did not officially take over the prefect, he had already moved into the yamen, and it happened that Wei Guogong returned to Nanjing and handed over the seal letter to Fang Buzhan first, and Wei Gao lived in a house where Wei Guogong lived.

The old and new prefects meet every day, but they don't talk about official business, but about Fengyue, as well as the customs and customs of their previous places, both of them look at each other with affection, without a trace of sorrow, let alone hostility, but like old friends who have made good friends and reunited after 20 years of separation, and there are endless chats and endless friendships all day long.

If someone in later generations saw this scene, they would definitely exclaim: they can't be a pair of!
