Chapter 279: Dragon Yan Dayue

Watch the teams of people pass by.

It was like a dream.

He is a small scribe, not to mention seeing the emperor and hundreds of officials, even seeing the governor is also an extravagant hope.

But today, I really saw the emperor.

He couldn't help but pinch his face, it hurt a little.

So, chewing carefully on the inquiry of the Son of Heaven, suddenly, I remembered something, yes, the Son of Heaven is here, is it really here to inspect the New Deal?

I think that at the beginning, he was a small official in Anyi County, and he had been an official for so many years, which one was not a human spirit, in fact, a person like him had no great ambitions, but he relied on his official identity to collect money and grain in the countryside all day long, and occasionally got a small bribe from some merchants. As for their superiors, the officials are different, naturally they don't even look at them, and they are vicious, and they can see the officials, and the officials regard them as slaves, and once they can't complete the things they have explained, they will be beaten with a rod at every turn, because of this, if they don't know how to be slippery, they can't eat the food of the public gate at all.

After that, the Governor's Mansion was listed, and then the transfer began, and he was directly transferred to this Gaoyou County.

At first, he was extremely reluctant, after all, his home was in Anyi County.

Who wants to leave their homeland?

People say that people leave their hometowns cheaply, and in this era, this is even more so.

But urged from above, he had to come, of course, he could also choose not to do it, but the little official actually began to be recorded in the roster, and at the same time began to conduct the merit test, it is reported that he began to officially distribute money and food according to the rank of the official, this money and food is a lot, at least it can make a family barely make a decent living, this time, he was reluctant to be the identity of this official, so he went to Gaoyou County.

His main responsibility is to re-house the officer, let him be in charge of this area of Song Village, almost every day to go to the countryside, equivalent to the fire brigade, today may come here, tomorrow may have to go to the neighboring village, not only to understand the population and land situation, but also to record, feedback at any time, there are a lot of things, very miscellaneous, he is a foreigner, but not related to the local area, although also questioned, but after all, it is not to urge food Latin, so the people of the villages recognize him, over time, familiar with the situation, I also feel handy.

In fact, I did this thing quite steadily, anyway, the money and food are real, I don't owe anything, and the work is clean, and I can even get the gratitude of many people.

And what really makes him comfortable is not just this, but Shangguan.

After the unprecedented person was promoted from the official to the chief bookkeeper, the atmosphere of the entire Gaoyou County, or the entire Yangzhou, changed greatly.

The officials have become no longer distinct, and the direct consequence is that the former high-ranking officials no longer completely ignore or even despise the officials under them, and they are not like before, but if they can't complete the collection, they will be beaten up when they give an order.

This kind of beating, not only physical pain, but also mental destruction, a few sticks down, you feel that you are no longer human, humble as ants, life and death are in the hands of others, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of resentment in the heart, and this kind of resentment, but dare not attack, can only hold back, and when you meet the small people, you will vent out.

Many small officials are now also trying their best to learn more knowledge, read more of the Governor's Mansion newspaper, want to understand the dynamics of the Governor's Mansion, the Governor's Mansion Gong Examination Division, it seems that they will also find out, as for whether there is a chance, Zeng Du is actually not clear, but at least, there is a little hope in his heart.

When people have hope, they are more motivated, and he hopes to accumulate more reputation.

Now he is very satisfied with this state, although there are many irregularities in this new policy, and there are still many problems, but ...... He thinks it's much better than before, much better.

After all, when he arrived in the Yali, he could get a little respect, and when he arrived in the village, people also respected him a lot, he could write, and occasionally write some letters to the villagers, and sometimes he had to bring some proclamations from the Governor's Mansion to read, and people always admired him. Of course, as in the past few days, he came here with cattle and horses to help the villagers harvest, and the people of the village were very happy, and they were very kind to him, and they greeted him with warmth.

The small people are very real, after a long time of contact, everyone is no longer hostile, and they feel that Zeng Du can bring some benefits, except for the occasional village splashing skin and secretly making some bad, the rest of the people are convinced of him. Of course, those pranksters don't dare to be too presumptuous, after all, Zeng Du has the status of an official.

Zeng Du keenly felt that as soon as His Majesty came, this new policy in Yangzhou was only afraid to be stable, otherwise, why did the Son of Heaven come in person.

Therefore, he watched the mighty team enter the village from a distance, and his heart was a little warm, as if the dawn suddenly bloomed, in fact, the new policy has been implemented so far, many people still have doubts in their hearts, who knows if it will be changed overnight.

So, he exhaled, just now he still felt that his legs were weak and he couldn't walk, but at this time, his steps were brisk, leading two strong men, driving cattle and horses, and hurried away.

…………

Li Shimin had not yet entered the village, and because of his short stay at the entrance of the village, the people in the village had already noticed the movement.

Someone saw Li Shimin talking with Na Zeng Du from a distance, and then entered the village, and many people came out.

A man said: "Is the official from the county or from the governor's office?" ”

This man is not tall, but he speaks ...... It's as if I have some knowledge.

It's a strange feeling.

At least that's what Li Shimin thinks: "You still know that I'm from the Governor's Mansion? ”

This man looked at Li Shimin strangely, and always felt as if Li Shimin had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't tell where he was.

So he smiled and said: "The officials in the county, I have seen some, it can be seen that your pomp is so big, nine times out of ten, it is the governor's mansion." ”

Suddenly, Li Shimin remembered something, and then he glanced at Du Ruhui on the side with suspicion, and he finally knew why the man in front of him was strange.

The only difference between the other party and the people I saw before is that it ...... They are not afraid of officials.

Yes, this man's conversation may not be literary, but when he saw Li Shimin, he was clearly an 'official', but he didn't have too much timidity, but worked hard to talk to Li Shimin.

Not only that, but if it were in other places, if a person like Li Shimin entered the village, many people would inevitably avoid it, or hide, all of them cowered and trembled.

But in this Song Village, as soon as Li Shimin and others came in, many people surrounded them, although they were curious, but they were not afraid.

Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart, on weekdays, he has always boasted that he loves the people like a son, but his own people, when they see themselves, are like jackals, and today they ...... I finally saw a group of people who were not afraid.

Li Shimin then said: "Yes, this official is from the Governor's Mansion." ”

"But are you here to make rounds? I don't know what it's on? ”

"Patrol?" Li Shimin laughed: "You, a villager, still know how to inspect?" ”

The man puffed out his chest and said: "Why don't you understand, I also know the Governor's Mansion, the proclamation of the Governor's Mansion, I didn't leave a single thing, so I said that this inspection, isn't it very clear?" In the proclamation of the third or fourth day of the first lunar month last month, it was clearly stated that the most urgent thing to do at the present time was to revitalize the villages that had been severely affected by the disaster, and in addition, it was necessary to urge the autumn harvest to ensure that all the grain was collected before the grain rotted in the ground. ”

What this man said was vigorous, and he seemed to have determined Li Shimin's identity.

The man was amazed again: "I didn't expect that the pomp and circumstance of your inspection is so big." ”

Wang Jin and the others stood aside, they seemed to have feelings, they obviously noticed the difference, they were planning, they had to find a little fault from this Yangzhou, but now, they don't care much, after going to Luhua Village, and then coming to this Song Village, the change is too big, this change, is a very intuitive impression, at least ...... Seeing this man's conversation, you can get a glimpse of one or two.

"This ......" Li Shimin was speechless for a while, and after a long time, he remembered something: "You also remember the announcement of the county so clearly?" Could it be that you are still literate? ”

"Why isn't it clear?" The man said very seriously: "We all know that all the proclamations to our people, which have been sent every three or five times, will be brought, brought, and everyone will be gathered together and read three times, if there is anything that everyone does not understand, he will explain it clearly." When this is done, he will have to make us draw a pledge on this announcement, and if we don't draw a pledge, he will not be able to take the announcement back and explain it. ”

The man said, grinning: "This rule, you all governors should know, why do you come to ask me, aren't these the rules established by your governors?" ”

Li Shimin was asked by this man, and he couldn't find anything to perfunctory for a while.

Chen Zhengtai said on the side: "This is a deliberate test for you, so as not to be perfunctory." ”

The man said: "This can't be perfunctory, even if he is perfunctory, we will never draw easily, we are small people, but we are not stupid, this is the new policy of the Governor's Mansion, it is the Chen Dudu who loves the people like a son to serve the order of the Holy Son of Heaven to sympathize with our people, he racked his brains and made so many measures to love the people, we don't understand, what if something goes wrong?" It's going to be a big loss. ”

The rest of the villagers nodded their heads in agreement.

Reason...... Everyone understands why we need to read the proclamation, isn't everyone's heart like a mirror? It is to publicize it widely, so that everyone knows what the Governor's Mansion is doing now, what needs to be done in the future, and whether what they want to do has anything to do with us, everyone understands it in their hearts, so that they will not be fooled.

At first, many people did not think so, but slowly, for example, the replacement of the land was divided, and as soon as this proclamation came out, sure enough, the servants began to measure the land, and everyone was slowly convinced. In addition, there is also the matter of sorting out taxes, each village newspaper reported how many years their own taxes had been paid before, and then, began to convert, the Governor's Office was willing to admit the taxes paid before, and in the next few years, taxes may be reduced or reduced, and sure enough, when it was almost time to pay the grain, no one came to urge the grain.

This kind of proclamation, everyone perceives, it is really closely related to everyone, it is related to their own rations and land, it is the most important thing, even if you don't listen to this matter carefully, don't try to understand, then pay it back?

When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, and he wrote down the matter thoughtfully.

The man said: "Since the officials are here, why don't you come into the house to talk, although my house is small, I can sit a few people, isn't it just noon?" I'm afraid that I'm hungry, I'll let my mother-in-law make rice, and it's not easy for you to patrol the countryside. It's just that there are so many of you, and I can't greet them alone. After consulting with the others for a moment, he asked each house to entertain some people.

Li Shimin went to the man's house with Chen Zhengtai and Du Ruhui, and Wang Jinji thief also mixed up.

The house of the Hanzi family is an earthen house, but it is obviously repaired, although it also looks poor, but fortunately...... can shelter from the wind and rain, his mother-in-law is obviously a diligent person, and the house is quite clean.

It's just that as soon as I entered this room, there was a portrait hanging on the wall, this portrait seemed to be printed, and the person's facial features were vaguely seen on it, but obviously the portrait was a little shoddy, and it was barely visible.

But I saw Li Shimin in the painting, with a serious face, hanging on the wall, not angry and arrogant, with tiger eyes wide open, as if staring at the people entering the house.

Li Shimin stood under the portrait, dumbfounded for a moment.

Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but be speechless, obviously ...... This portrait is too shoddy, and it is a bit unworthy of my teacher.

The man also came in, and suddenly said, "Official, you look like the person in this icon when you arrive." ”

"Haha......" Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and smiled awkwardly: "Why do you hang this in your house?" ”

The man said: "Now all hang this, don't you know, I heard the governor here say, but whenever you go to the Yamen, or go to Yangzhou but wherever there are cards, it is fashionable to do this, you Yali, don't you also hang it?" This is a holy icon, which is the one that can ward off evil spirits in His Majesty today, and this icon is hung here, which makes people feel at ease. Think about it, why is Yangzhou new, isn't it that the Son of Heaven is sympathetic to us and other small people? Only then did he send his disciples to the governor. Now in the market, there are many such portraits, but some are expensive, some are cheap, I don't have a lot of money, so I have to buy a cheap one, rough is rough, but it is better than nothing. ”

After saying a few words, the man thought that he was going to the cooking room to explain to his mother-in-law, so he said goodbye and walked quickly.

Li Shimin still stood under the portrait and was speechless for a long time.

Chen Zhengtai said embarrassedly: "Teacher...... This ......"

Li Shimin didn't mention the portrait.

It's hard for him to mention such things, after all...... If the performance is ecstatic, it seems that my pattern is a little small.

So he staggered the topic: "It makes sense to let the errand officer announce the official document." How did you come up with this? ”

Chen Zhengtai said: "Teacher, in fact, the foundation of governing the people lies in uploading and disseminating, if you can't even do this, then, even if the teacher is sympathetic to the people, the people have suffered a disaster, that is, how much food is allocated by the court, and there is no way to let the disaster victims distribute money and food, the students have a story, just laughing and talking, I don't know if the teacher is willing to listen to it." ”

Li Shimin was interested: "Tell me about it." ”

"In a certain dynasty and a certain place, there was a man who wanted to hire a murderer, and this man was called A, and A took out a hundred yuan and hired B to kill E, and this B, who got the money, did not want to kill anyone, so he sought out C and gave him twenty pieces of money. C got the money and felt that twenty times could kill people, so he became greedy, so he spent three more times of money, invited Ding to come, and asked Ding to kill Wu. Guess what? As a result, this 100 yuan of money, layer by layer, waited in Ding's hands, just three times, let alone kill Wu, it is a good knife to kill, and it may not be able to afford it. ”

When Li Shimin heard this story, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but after listening to this story, it seemed to be funny, but it couldn't help but make people think deeply.

Chen Zhengtai said: "In fact, the governance of the imperial court is also like this, doesn't the teacher think of the people?" Will the imperial court sit idly by and watch the people being exploited and oppressed? No, the students are in Chang'an, and they are also by the teacher's side, and they have listened to many words and seen many measures to love the people. But as a result, just like this hired murderer, the court took out a hundred guan, but when it came to the assassin's history, it was intercepted fifty guan, and when it came to the county, there were only twenty guan left, and when it came to the errand officer, only three guan remained, so ...... How many copper plates are there that can really reach the hands of the people and let them survive the famine in the year of famine? Students don't know, and they don't dare to know. ”

"Therefore, in many cases, no matter how good the law is, the more appropriate the governance, but if you don't solve the fundamental problem of the situation, and don't tell the people where the money comes from and how much you can get, the court will be regarded as a mountain of money, and it will not be able to fill this bottomless pit, and the distribution of money and grain will only feed the officials up and down."

When Li Shimin heard this, he suddenly realized, he thought about it carefully, and it was really the case.

For a while, he couldn't help but murmur: "Yes, this is the problem, Zhengtai's move is really seeking the country." This Manchu dynasty is not as thoughtful as you think. ”

This is very unintentional.

But it was quite a bit like a slap on Du Ruhui, Du Ruhui still had a smile on his face, and bowed his head slightly, expressing his agreement, but he couldn't help but feel a little ...... in his heart Strange feeling.

THAT WANG JIN STILL RAISED HIS HEAD, STARING AT THE HOLY ICON, DEAF TO THE MUSIC OF THE MONARCH AND MINISTERS, JUST LOOKING AT THE HOLY STATUE MOTIONLESS, HIS EYES SEEMED TO BE FROZEN, AND THERE WAS ONLY ONE THOUGHT AT THE MOMENT, THIS CHEN ZHENGTAI IS REALLY A TALENT.

If I, Wang Jin, can impeach him, I will take off my head and kick him off.

………………

I'm sorry, I've stayed up late again, I must change it in the future, and strive for the code word during the day, hey, I'm speechless, and I'm a bad problem.

What, let's give a monthly ticket to support it, and be a poverty alleviation.
