Qian Shao immediately took off an official seal of "straight learning" from his body and put it on Wang Hai's desk with a "pop"!

Wang Hai was taken aback, he looked at Qian Shao's official seal, pointed at him and scolded: "What are you doing, so contemptuous of the official seal of the imperial court, be careful that the old man plays the chapter and shocks you." ”

The traces of being caught on Qian Shao's face suddenly became even more red, and he waved his sleeves and roared: "The old man resigns." ”

Wang Hai hurriedly picked up the official seal, tied it with a rope to his cyan official robe, and shouted loudly: "The old man is not allowed." ”

Qian Shao pointed to his face and said, "Now that the old man's face has been disfigured, how can you let the old man still be able to take a concubine?" Wang Hai's face was full of sneers, and he said lightly: "I resigned, what concubine can't I accept?" Say, what is it? ”

Qian Shao's body weakened, sat on the circle chair with his head in his hands, and then looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's not for those crazy people to scratch it." Speaking of this, he stood up again, pointed at Wang Hai and said, "The old man's face was scratched by them, and now the professor doesn't want to make a fuss, and the old man can only pass on the scars on his face to the professor." ”

After speaking, Qian Shao's right hand stretched out to Wang Hai's face!

Wang Hai waved his sleeves and scolded angrily: "Enough, call Xuezheng, Xuelu, Zhixue, Siji, and Jiaoyu together." ”

Qian Shao's right hand stayed in mid-air, turned his grasp into a finger, shook his head and said, "Shouting so many people, you can't conjure up Yu Lu." What's more, everyone hasn't received the money for three months, and maybe it will leave scars on the professor's face. ”

Wang Hai waved his sleeves and scolded angrily: "What are you talking about, go directly to the yamen." ”

In the magistrate's office, Jinshi was born in the magistrate's county, Xin Zhicai, who was only in his twenties, couldn't help sighing after drinking tea.

Now he doesn't have the same high spirits as he did when he took office, reading books during the day and playing the piano at night.

At this time, Xin Zhicai looked at the horizontal plaque hanging in the middle of the public house "The world is for the public", and the tens of thousands of "Yueyang Tower" wrote "The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world", and couldn't help but sigh for a long time.

Contrary to drinking tea and reading books to pass the time, Liu Ang, the county leader, is completely immersed in reading official documents and working.

After he signed the official document, he was generally able to pass it here in Xin Zhicai, the magistrate of the county.

Without him, Changyuan County was run like an iron bucket by Liu Ang, the county leader, the water was difficult to enter, the oil could not be burned, and the officials disobeyed the orders of the new county.

is completely different from Xin Zhicai, a county magistrate who was parachuted down from the imperial court, Liu Ang worked step by step from the county lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper.

Liu Ang was very hopeful! And acted as an agent for the county for three months!

After the promotion of the previous magistrate, everyone also thought that Liu Ang's political performance was good, and the reputation was also good, and the previous magistrate also vigorously recommended it, and it was expected that he should be able to succeed!

However, the appointment of the imperial court shattered the dreams of Liu Ang and others, after all, a radish and a pit, Liu Ang was intact, and of course the others were also intact.

Xin Zhicai may not have thought of these, but the experienced staff member Xin Dong saw it in his eyes, and after he glanced at those who kept shuttling between the Cao, the priests, and the officials in the county hall, he tasted tea lightly.

Wang Hai, Yuan Tao and other county school officials came to the county hall to salute and sat down, and Xin Zhicai also returned the salute and sat down after the guest of honor.

This is the first time Xin Zhicai has officially met with his subordinates since he came to Changyuan County!

He coughed and instructed Xin Dong to inform Liu Ang and the others to come to discuss.

Hufang Wang Huan dipped his saliva with his hands, and after opening the account book, he suddenly turned into a bitter gourd face, and said: "Officials, colleagues, please allow the little officials to report." Due to the successive droughts last year and this year, miscellaneous taxes and taxes of all kinds were less than 23,460 yuan, which was more than half of the 5,140 yuan of the previous year. As is customary, half of it is to be handed over to the transit envoy. In the past, if the county was affected by a disaster, it could apply for subsidies from Changzhou, but now Changzhou is also affected by drought and cannot afford to subsidize the county. Now, they have to find a way to apply to the Residual Disposal Envoy to see if they can try to reduce some taxes. However, the imperial court fought with the Hu people, and the financial resources were in deficit every year, so they could only make up for it by sending a meeting, and they were looking forward to the payment of taxes by various transit envoys. It is estimated that even if the report is raised, it may be reduced as appropriate, but it may not be very optimistic. Xie Zhixian, Liu Xiancheng and all the officials, I don't know what you can do? ”

After speaking, Wang Huan sang a fat promise to the audience, confessed before sitting down, and then wiped the cold sweat on his head.

Xin Zhicai suddenly poured cold water from his head, pondered for a while, and then said: "In this way, first of all, this county and Liu Xiancheng will sign together, report to Changzhou and the transfer envoy, and for the remaining system envoy, naturally Changzhou Zhizhou and Huang Zhizhou will find a way." ”

Xin Zhicai decisively jumped out of the trap given to him by Wang Huan, and overstepping the report was a taboo in officialdom!

Speaking of this, he paused, he glanced at everyone, and said, "No matter what, it is necessary to distribute the money to stabilize people's hearts." ”

After beating the snake and sticking to the stick, Wang Huan immediately saluted Xin Zhicai and asked, "Dare to ask Xie Zhixian if there is a way?" , if there is a way, the lower officials are grateful. ”

Xin Zhicai groaned slightly, glanced at everyone, and then said: "Before leaving Lin'an, this county got a promise from Qianguan in the household department, hoping that the transfer would be fulfilled by the white officials. ”

Liu Ang, who had been silent, saluted Xin Zhicai, confessed and said: "As far as the lower officials know, this Qianguan is a special project used to build water conservancy and save disasters and save the people, I don't know if it's right?" ”

Xin Zhicai glanced at Liu Ang fiercely, and said resolutely: "As for the consequences, the county will bear it." ”

Liu Ang glanced at Xu Gui, the chief bookkeeper, and Lu Jian, the county lieutenant, and saluted with both hands: "The lower official is willing to sign." ”

Xu Gui and Lu Jian glanced at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then saluted together: "The lower official is willing to sign." ”

Wang Hai and Yuan Tao also glanced at each other, and saluted with both hands: "The lower officials are willing to sign." ”

After everyone signed the report, Wang Hai suddenly sang a fat promise to everyone and said, "Thank you for your kindness. There is still an unasked request from the lower officials, and there are still 500 students in the county school who are in urgent need of food, is there a way to ask the officials? ”

Xin Zhicai gritted his teeth in his heart and said, "This county is willing to donate January's Yulu." ”

After speaking, he glanced at everyone present, Liu Ang also glanced at everyone, and said lightly: "Xia Guan is willing to donate one month's salary." ”

Wang Hai, Yuan Tao and other county school officials also glanced at each other, and saluted with both hands: "The lower officials are willing to donate a month's salary." ”

Xu Gui and Lu Jian glanced at each other, hesitated for a long time and finally said, "Xia Guan is also willing to donate a month's salary." ”

After everyone left, Xin Dong looked at the officials who had already gone away, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Xin Zhicai also looked at the officials who had already gone away, and after tasting tea, he looked at Xin Dong and asked, "What does Uncle Weng think of this?" ”

Xin Dong and the others had disappeared without a trace, so they turned around and shook their heads and said, "Today's owner, the loss is greater than the gain." ”

Xin Zhicai couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and after tasting tea, he put down the tea bowl and arched his hands and asked, "How can Uncle Weng solve it correctly?" ”

Xin Dong pondered for a while, and then said: "Changyuan County did not issue Yulu in March, which is a loss of points, and this is one of them. These three months were exactly what happened to the owner, and no matter what reason the owner found, everyone agreed that it was caused by the owner. ”

Seeing Xin Zhicai nodded, Xin Dong pulled off the second finger and said: "The owner will originally come to the disaster relief to distribute the money, although everyone signed it together, but in any case in front of Changzhou, you will always lose points, because you are the county, Changzhou thinks that you are responsible for this matter, and this is the second." ”

Xin Zhicai pondered for a while, nodded, and motioned for Xin Dong to continue, Xin Dong pressed his big finger this time and said: "Although the first two points are big, compared with the latter point, it is the biggest loss of points, and the owner should not let the leader donate money." This one is too reckless. The officials have not been paid for three months, and now it is finally distributed, but unfortunately it has to be donated again, and after going back, they must be complained by their families, so that the good feeling that the owner just got with great difficulty will disappear completely. ”

Speaking of this, Xin Dong stared at Xin Zhicai and said: "The correct thing for the owner to do is to find a squire businessman, donate money and materials, and promote the way of education." ”

Xin Zhicai nodded and said: "I haven't thought about this point in the next place, but unfortunately I have only been here for three months, I am not familiar with the place, and the government decree cannot go out of the yamen, so how can I let the squire merchants donate these?" ”

Xin Dong let out a long sigh and said: "This is the other party's upright conspiracy, knowing that it is a pit, but the owner has to jump down with a blue nose and swollen face." Liu Ang has no last resort. This person is not simple. ”

Speaking of this, Xin Dong took a sip of tea, and then said: "But the owner still has a score for his debut." At least everyone thinks that the owner still has a responsibility. This is also your only gain this time, but this time it also buried a very big hidden danger for the owner, that is, what if the drought continues to develop? It is only ten and a half days and a half months to donate to the county school grain purchase money, and after these ten days and a half months, how should the owner deal with it? If there is a disturbance between the victims and students, in order to appease the people and students, the court may be the day when the owner leaves. ”

Speaking of this, Xin Dong suddenly remembered something and said, "Dongjia, do you know the price of rice?" ”

Xin Zhicai nodded, thought for a while and said: "That is, a few days ago, the price of rice was six or seven guan a load, and later it was strange that it was restored to last year's price." If it weren't for my wife, I wouldn't have known that the price of rice had dropped from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. If the price of rice continues to rise, maybe I, the county governor, will not be able to afford to eat rice, and the governor will definitely be held accountable for the county, in fact, how can I know that the county is actually in name only. At this, he couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly.

Xin Dong nodded and said: "Dongjia, I don't know if you have thought about it, in the past two years of continuous drought, the rise in rice prices should be the right reason, I don't know if you have thought about rice prices?" ”

Xin Zhicai pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "It's true, I don't know why." ”

Xin Dong unconsciously glanced at the Zhaojiazhuang rice shop on North Street, and then said: "If there is no Zhaojiazhuang rice shop, maybe the price is more than seven times." ”

Xin Zhicai sat down any longer, immediately stood up from his chair, and asked in disbelief: "Zhaojiazhuang Rice Shop actually did this, and it deserves to be a model for businessmen in the world." Although he did not have the location of the county, he did what the county wanted to do and did not do. ”

After speaking, he looked at Xin Dong and said, "Uncle, can you take the shopkeeper to show the county." ”

Xin Dong pondered for a while and said: "This shopkeeper is only responsible for sales in the county, and the person who really solves the problem is still in Zhaojiazhuang." Speaking of which, the owner must not believe it, and he is still a boy called Zhao Ping when he suppresses the high-priced rice, and he is just ten years old. ”

Xin Zhicai was dumbfounded, the tea bowl in his hand was almost unstable, and the tea had already partially spilled, but fortunately, he finally stabilized his mind, gasped, and then frowned and spit out a few words: "Is it more powerful than Yan Xianggong?" It's a pity that this person didn't put his mind into his studies, and he smelled copper. ”

Xin Dong nodded, and then said with some excitement: "I heard that the fairy soap, the fairy furnace, and the fairy charcoal were also invented by this person, and these things were sold to Hangzhou, and I heard that it was as high as one tael of silver, and the Hu people were even higher than two taels of silver." With this Zhao Ping in Changyuan County, he may bring good luck to the owner. It's just that this Zhao Ping's suppression of the price of rice in Changyuan County will inevitably offend a group of people, these rice merchants have complicated backgrounds, and I don't know if he can have the ability to escape this catastrophe. ”

After speaking, Xin Dong looked around the yamen and sighed softly.

Xin Zhicai sighed even more, entrusting his fate to an ethereal boy, which made him feel unreal, besides, this boy was just a businessman with no merit, and he was surprisingly young, offending businessmen with many backgrounds, and under the joint efforts of these businessmen, he didn't know how far he could go, he also sighed softly.
