Chapter 267

Naturally, some shrewd analysts have come to a conclusion that Zhao Dahu must have some channel, and that He Zaixu's official document recording of meritorious people in Ruolan County is very likely to attract the attention of the court, although he is not the first donor, but he has donated the most, and he will definitely attract attention in the future.

It must be like this, the rich merchants and gentry of Ruolan County who were still hesitant were angry. They are enthusiastically donating money and materials, and they must not fall too far behind, of course, there are not many people who have the ability to spend a lot of money like Zhao Dahu.

But there were still people who gritted their teeth and smashed out a huge amount, squeezing Zhao Dahu, who donated 1,600 taels, into the third place.

At dusk the next day, He Zaixu looked at the donation account book handed over by the canon, and almost had a stroke of joy and paralysis.

He Jinghui, who had been busy with his father for a day, couldn't help but gasp after taking the account book and looking at it. “…… As of today, a total of 19 wealthy merchants and gentry had come to donate money and materials, totaling 520 stone of rice and grain, 45 carts of stone, 30 carts of wood, and 12,700 taels of silver...... Obediently, doesn't it mean that the cost of repairing the embankment of Xu Zhen is not only sufficient, but even has a surplus. ”

"Yanai said very much, the lower officials have already found the old craftsmen and the tax collectors in the yali and calculated, it will probably cost more than 9,700 taels to repair the embankment of Naxu Town." Liu Dianshi, who temporarily took charge of the affairs of the main Bo because of the fall of the main Bo, laughed very doggedly.

The county fell because of the Yin County Order, and He Zaixu became the county order, so the post of the county clerk was also vacant, and the post of the chief bookkeeper of Chen was the same as the county magistrate, as the deputy of the county, although the grade was lower than that of the county Cheng, only the ninth grade. However, the setting up and scope of authority of the main book are similar to those of the county officer, and it has its own special office, which is in charge of grain and horses, taxation, household registration, patrol and arrest and other matters with the county officer.

This is also the reason why the Yin County Order could easily override He Zaixu, the county magistrate, but now, as soon as Chen Zhubo falls, there is a vacancy in his area of authority.

In addition, the county magistrate of this county has been promoted to the county commander, and there is no county magistrate, He Zaixu, the county magistrate, can not be used for three purposes, so it was decided to let this timid and fearful, but shrewd and capable Qu official temporarily replace the boss.

Moreover, He Zaixu also told this Liu Dian, as long as he does a good job, the county order will definitely recommend you to Shangfeng, a good warden who is capable of doing practical things and willing to do practical things, to enter the position of the main thin, although it depends on the meaning of Shangfeng if it is not successful, but generally speaking, Shangguan will not refute the face of his subordinates for such a small position.

In addition, under He Jinghui's repeated nagging, He Zaixu also called Zhao Bantou, who had been diligent and conscientious during this time, to come over and appease him.

and told Zhao Bantou that as long as that Liu Dianshi was promoted to the main book, then the vacated position of Dianshi was his Zhao someone, and when he heard the news, Zhao Bantou was so happy that he almost lost his mind. I was very grateful, and finally I was reluctant to leave.

Early the next morning, the officers began to go to various places where the victims gathered to recruit. Originally, those victims could only survive on the food of the porridge shacks, but now when they heard that the government would pay workers to repair the embankment, and if they could make money, they would be able to improve their lives, so they naturally signed up one after another.

In just one day's effort, nearly 600 people were recruited from among the victims, and Tietou Lao Jiu and others were also found by He Jinghui, and after a good beating, he gave Tietou Lao Jiu the identity of a supervisor, and asked him to do a good job, if he did a good job, maybe he might become an errand officer in the future.

In such a small county, it is actually not easy to be a ruffian hooligan leader, if he can throw away that identity and become an errand officer, the iron-headed old nine is naturally eager to do it.

And on this day, they successively received a total of 2,000 taels of property donated by five wealthy merchants and gentry, and there was a lot of money, what should I do? He Zaixu began to have a headache about this problem.

"My lord, why don't these extra belongings be folded into the county treasury for the future?" The county lieutenant gave such a suggestion.

"This ......" He Zaixu frowned slightly. No, these belongings were donated by many wealthy merchants and gentry in this county for this flood, and if they cannot be used to the fullest, it is better to return them to those people. ”

And He Jinghui, who has been standing by He Zaixu's side and is very dutiful in playing the role of the ya, heard his father's answer, and also felt that this approach was very inappropriate, and his father's idea was also unpleasant, and it may even make those who donated their property very angry.

After all, people donate money just to earn a reputation, and if Dad really wants to return the money, doesn't it mean that you don't want to give others a chance? In that way, it is easy to form a grudge with those rich businessmen and gentry, which is very unfavorable for my father to govern Ruolan County in the future.

After He Jinghui's eyes turned a few times, he saw a servant coming over to add tea to his father, and he took the initiative to take the teapot, and eagerly poured tea for his father in person, and whispered in his father's ear. "Father, it's a good thing to have more money, it doesn't matter if you can't repair the dam, there are still so many people in this county whose homes have been destroyed......

He Zaixu's eyes lit up suddenly, damn, yes, why didn't he think of this. After seeing his son muttering, he lowered his eyebrows and retreated to the side, hmm...... It seems that he really gave birth to a good son who is both smart and very knowledgeable and not arrogant.

The only regret is that this kid is unwilling to touch those four books and five classics, if not, maybe now, a good story of two jinshi, father and son are prodigies, will spread in the Great Qi Dynasty.

"This matter, well, the old man has already taken care of this matter, and now the flood in this county still exists, and many disasters in this county have caused many people to die, and now there are more than 200 people who have become victims of the disaster because of the destruction of their houses and the collapse of their houses."

"Now, with the property donated by these rich businessmen and gentry, there is still a surplus after repairing the Xuzhen embankment, which is just used to help these victims, as the so-called cultivators have their fields, and the dwellers have their houses...... "He Zaixu has a lot of crooked chatter.

And those county officials are all convinced, and have to admit that He Zaixu's words are too reasonable, since the money has been accepted, naturally they are embarrassed to return, so it is a great good deed to repair the Xuzhen Dam for Ruolan County, and it is also a great good deed to rebuild the houses of those who have lost their homes.

Anyway, when the time comes, Lord He will list all the good deeds done by these money, and then put them on the court.

When He Zaixu, who was foaming at the corners of his mouth, said, a group of subordinates were surging like a tide, praising Lord He for being a big clean official, a big capable official, too thoughtful, too capable.

He Daguan was very smiling, and it was difficult to maintain his noble and lonely demeanor.

Soon, Chen Zhubo of Ruolan County conspired with the Lan family, the largest grain merchant in the county, to take advantage of the flood, and vainly transported the grain from the official warehouse as silt to quietly transport it out of the official warehouse, and then handed it over to the Lan family to sell to earn huge profits.

The entire Longjiang Mansion was shaken, and the Huang Governor's Mansion was also taken aback, Nima, I can't imagine that at such a time, there are still people who dare to commit crimes against the wind before such a catastrophe, what else can this be if you enter the thatched house with a lantern in front of it?

Immediately, on the one hand, the official document delivered by He Zaixu was sent to the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, and on the other hand, all counties in Longjiang Prefecture were strictly ordered to strictly investigate and defend it.

In addition, Huang Zhifu also personally rushed to Ruolan County, wanting to inspect it, after all, the Xu Zhen Embankment in Ruolan County was a major project for the benefit of the people supervised by the court at the beginning of the establishment of the Daqi Dynasty.

After Huang Zhifu rushed to Ruolan County, He Zaixu learned the news that Huang Zhifu had arrived in Ruolan County, and couldn't help but be taken aback, Huang Zhifu was his boss after all.

As usual, when Shangguan visits, the local magistrate should go out of the city to greet him, but Governor Huang actually rushed to the county government office quietly, which is really a little confusing.
