Chapter 178: The Way of Balance

County office

Dongfang Wei, who was supposed to be patrolling the training at the mouth of the mountain cliff, was taking care of his dog in the yard at this time.

He took care of the kennel slowly, sweeping away the feces and leftovers from the kennel.

This kind of thing should be done by his cronies, but occasionally Dongfang Wei will do it himself.

The others are just feeding, and he is the owner of these two dogs.

Outside the gate of the courtyard, Governor Guo Juli, Chen Youcai, the Department of Taxation, and Yan Jinshan, the Department of Nongsang, were waiting for the county magistrate to go out.

It took Dongfang Wei more than an hour to take care of the two dogs, then closed the door of the kennel, washed his hands in the yard and walked out.

Guo Juli finally waited for the county order, and quickly said: "The county order, you can be regarded as back, you don't know, these days when you are not there, that Wang boy is tossing a lot!" ”

Dongfang Wei chuckled and said: "He is the commander of the river, this thing was originally done by him, and I am not without nothing, I will continue to go back to the cliff mouth at noon tomorrow, the things over there have not been finished yet, today I just took the time to come back and see." ”

"After all, I'm also a parent here~"

This time, the cliff mouth still needs to continue to watch, and Dongfang Wei has to understand the things over there.

Compared with the county seat of Heishui County, the mountain cliff pass, which is the military stronghold of the two states, is more important, and Dongfang Wei naturally knows which needs to be given priority.

Chen Youcai, the tax department, quickly said: "My lord, now that the city's finances are tight, Wang Lanling is constantly squandering the goods stored in the cangdian, and also asking the departments to provide him with materials and find people to borrow grain, and now the city is miserable!" ”

Dongfang Wei looked at the three of them and said, "Isn't Wei Xueli in charge of the Cangdian Institute?" He didn't come with you? ”

"This ......" Chen Youcai paused, not knowing what to say.

They also looked for Wei Xueli, but Wei Xueli ignored them and didn't like them at all.

Wei Xueli, who has been rectified by Wang Lanling, is afraid of Wang Lanling, and he is not a soft egg governor who doesn't do business all day, and Chen Youcai, who has bowed to Wang Lanling a long time ago, and now wants to jump back.

These three people have no benefit, there is no way at all, now go to Wang Lanling's backer to complain, he Wei Xueli will come together when his brain is pitted.

Dongfang Wei said again: "What did the construction department say? The fortifications of the city are the business of the craftsman department, and the dam and river embankment are the business of the construction department. ”

An Dezhou of the Craftsman Division understands Wang Lanling's power, and he knows very well that Wang Lanling will leave if he fails to control the water, so he doesn't want to offend this powerful person who can speak even if he leaves.

Chen Mingguang of the Construction Division was also rectified by Wang Lanling......

Although he is a relative, Chen Mingguang only wants stability now.

Yan Jinshan said: "The construction department is also very troublesome, Wang Lanling always calls the craftsmen there, and now the people in the construction department are in chaos." ”

Dongfang Wei listened to the words of these three people and didn't care.

After he returned home, he learned about Wang Lanling's recent actions from his wife and son, and he didn't know anything about it.

Dongfang Wei looked at Yan Jinshan.

"Speaking of which, today Wang Lanling is going to take people to irrigate the farmland of various families in the city, right? Why didn't you follow? ”

The matter of irrigation is the business of the management of the agricultural and mulberry divisions.

Yan Jinshan felt bad, he said carefully: "I also went to Wang Lanling to talk about this matter, but he refused to stop, and also found Zhou Wende from the Civil Code Department to count the farmland. ”

Overlapping duties!

This kind of thing is very common, it is impossible to find a corresponding department for everything, and some things can not be done by only one department, so they will be managed by several departments.

Dongfang Wei asked, "What did Wang Lanling say?" Why rob your business and irrigate the farmland? ”

The management of irrigation is not overstepped by the Department of Water Affairs, but basically normal people know that this is a matter under the jurisdiction of the Department of Agriculture and Mulberry.

Yan Jinshan explained with an embarrassed face: "Wang Lanling said that all the water in the river will be used for irrigation, and when the time comes, there will be less water in the river and the water level will drop, and it will not be flooded." ”

This...... Logically, nothing is wrong.

"I don't know how to control water, is this also a way to control water?" Dongfang Wei looked at the governor, "But according to what you say, this is indeed a matter for the Department of Water Affairs." ”

Guo Juli, who was born in the Water Affairs Department, said at this time: "No, this kind of thing is tantamount to raising the soup to stop the boiling, this root is still there, what is the use of just pumping this water that is supposed to go downstream?" ”

Dongfang Wei nodded and said, "Then according to the governor's opinion, how should the water be controlled?" ”

Guo Juli opened his mouth and honestly shut up again.

Everyone knows the way to control the water, but the problem is not how to control the water now, it is that others treat Heishui County as a garbage dump, and you can't stop others from splashing dirty water on you.

Seeing that Guo Juli stopped talking, Dongfang Wei continued: "I also read the instructions from the county town, and I agree with this water control method, it seems that Wang Lanling's efforts have been affirmed by the county town." ”

The three of them were silent, as long as Wang Lanling didn't do his job, the county would not remove Wang Lanling from his position as the water affairs department.

If Wang Lanling really did the right thing, it would force those people in the county to unload him.

"Okay, leave this matter to Wang Lanling to do, although he is much younger and has a lot of ignorance, as long as he doesn't make a big mistake."

Dongfang Wei confessed a few words, and then walked to his office.

For the three people behind him, Dongfang Wei didn't have any good feelings, nor did he have any bad feelings.

At present, this kind of thing is exactly what he wants.

Wang Lanling is indeed a capable minister, but Dongfang Wei doesn't want this kid to rise too fast.

If he really unified the entire Heishui County during his absence, it would be a troublesome matter for Dongfang Wei.

Dongfang Wei is a foreigner, he has no roots in the local area, and he can't abuse his power because of the Sangmu matter, otherwise he will attract the supervision of the imperial court.

Wang Lanling and Guo Juli disagreed, and some people objected, offending many people, which is not a bad thing for Dongfang Wei.

The main reason for not interfering in Wang Lanling's work is because Wang Lanling is doing things now, and everyone knows the officialdom process after the flood, so he doesn't want to take the blame for Dongfang Wei when the time comes.

Now that he has a legitimate reason not to be responsible, and not to be responsible for the people and villages that were drowned at that time, why did he wade into the troubled waters this time?

Guo Juli and these people always want to get Wang Lanling down, without Wang Lanling, who will take the blame?

***

Wang Lanling also met with Dongfang Wei, reported some of the situation, and also talked about the current problems.

Dongfang Wei didn't stay long, and also asked Wang Lanling to pay attention, don't add to the burden on the county's finances, and went to the cliff mouth again the next day.

After Dongfang Wei left, Wang Lanling also kept a lot of low profile, and the main thing he did every day was to go out to inspect the farmland and towns, increasing the opportunity to show his face, but he paid less attention to the affairs of the county.

Many villagers don't know what the county order is called, but they all know that there is a good official named Wang Lanling in Heishui County!
