.“ Let's discuss! He Jinxian glanced at Qian Ning, still with that virtuous look, his eyes seemed to be open, as if nothing had anything to do with him, He Jinxian sneered in his heart, now there is no way, right? Even if you are alone, you even want to stop the national policy, you just don't know how thick the sky is!

"I don't know how difficult it is to go to Futai yesterday to the Weaving Bureau, and the two magistrates went to the grain market yesterday, so they should know how to do it!" He Jinxian said lazily: "Let's go down the motion!" ”

The lobby suddenly sounded with the sound of flipping through the bills, He Jinxian looked at everyone's expressions carefully, but most of the local officials in Zhejiang had no expression on their faces, except for Yu Xinwu, his face suddenly darkened, and Qin Mi's brows furrowed. He was still thinking in his heart, hurry up and get this Qin Mi away, otherwise don't do anything down there.

The new motion is still two pages, six articles, more than 200 words, and not a word has been changed!

A pair of eyes in the lobby first looked at Qian Ning, then at He Jinxian, and finally focused on Yu Xinwu.

He stared at the table in front of him in a daze, and didn't reach out to open the bill, He Jinxian said, "Why hasn't Yu Futai finished reading it yet?" ”

"What's there to see if it's not changed a word?" Yu Xinwu raised his eyes, and the look that didn't dare to give in made He Jinxian extremely uncomfortable suddenly. Sour Xiucai! It's all up to this, and you still want to save face!

"Huh...... Not a word has ever changed! He Jinxian stood up with a look of laughter and laughter, and stood up: "Lord Yu was born in Hanlin, and he should know that this fuss is not worth a word!" He deliberately strengthened his tone with these last four words.

Yu Xinwu's heart was cold, looking at him with an almost desperate look, full of resentment, but there was nowhere to vent, he held on to the table, wanted to stand up, but suddenly felt weak, and even his head was a little dizzy. Is this the officialdom I don't understand?

He Jinxian's eyes slowly scanned the officials sitting below, and he felt that the world was in my hands, and he said spontaneously, full of anger: "Yesterday, this court and Yu Futai had an in-depth discussion on the national policy of changing rice to mulberry in the imperial court and the specific matters of disaster relief in Chun'an and Jiande counties. Mulberry seedlings must also be planted as soon as possible. If you can't decide to go up to the court and harm the people in Futai, now that you have understood the truth and now have no objections, then everyone will sign the bill! ”

The pen and ink had already been prepared on everyone's case, and officials in Zhejiang picked up the pen one after another to sign the bill in front of them.

Only Yu Xinwu was still sitting there upright, staring at the table motionless. He Jinxian saw his appearance and knew that he was still struggling in his heart, so he said: "How can Yu Futai sign!" ”

Yu Xinwu looked at the motion in front of him, and suddenly the teachings of his mentor before leaving suddenly appeared in his mind, and he seemed to have mustered up the last bit of courage: "This bill has not been changed word, I can't sign it!" ”

He Jinxian unexpectedly didn't move this time, but said calmly: "Since you haven't figured it out, keep thinking about it." Never mind! Serve tea! ”

It's still the bookstore holding the official signboard of the macho man and the four dishes lying down and uploading

A tray with eight tea bowls walked in, but in reverse order, Qin Mi, who was sitting at the end, first served tea and then placed the teacups in a zigzag line from bottom to top. sent two trips in succession, and when it was his turn to pour tea for Yu Xinwu, the secretary gently raised it in front of him with a smile on his face.

"Put it down!" Yu Xinwu didn't have the heart to look at him, still staring at the desktop.

The book office did not put it down, but still held it.

Yu Xinwu raised his eyes in disgust.

The clerk's eyes moved, motioning him to look at his right palm holding the teacup, and Yu Xinwu looked down the teacup.

Underneath the tea bowl is an eight-line paper with a few words written on it:

My affair with Ning Niang has nothing to do with others. Yu Xinwu.

Yu Xinwu's face suddenly turned pale, but the white man sat there in a daze, still not touching the tea bowl. The clerk opened his left hand again, and there was an eight-line paper with words written on it under his left hand:

Do what you have to do, don't bother with too much, and you're in control! Zhu Yidao.

Yu Xinwu's face suddenly turned red again, and his body trembled slightly! There is still justice in this world! And this axiom is actually in the hands of a Jinyi Wei Qianhu! It's a ridiculous joke! The ones I look down on the most on weekdays are lackeys such as Dongchang Jinyiwei who kill people and raid their homes, but when they are in the most crisis, the only ones who support them are them! He suddenly had the urge to laugh out loud, and he felt like crying but couldn't, and everything was black and white upside down! The officials who should have thought about the people desperately wanted to sell the lives of the people for money, and the Jinyi Wei, who was supposed to kill people and rob their homes and silver, took on this responsibility that did not belong to them! Is this still my Ming world?

The clerk didn't stop any longer, shoved the two notes into the cuffs, put down the teacup, turned around, and walked out like a gust of wind.

He Jinxian looked at Yu Xinwu deeply, and Qin Mi also looked at Yu Xinwu deeply.

He took a deep breath and picked up the pen in his hand.

Qin Mi's heart jumped to his throat, what the hell is going on, you must not sign it!

I am against it. Yu Xinwu.

Yu Xinwu signed it heavily, and spit out the breath that was holding in again.

Qin Mi only felt that the world was spinning all of a sudden, how could an adult change so quickly, there must be something strange in this! He stood up desperately and shouted, "Lord Futai! ”

Yu Xinwu, who had already put down his pen, looked at him in surprise, but at this time, there was already a slight smile on his face.

Qin Mi looked at Yu Xinwu with a strange eye: "Lord Futai has a few words that I want my lord to show down. ”

"Please." Yu Xinwu's voice also became tougher.

"Just now, Lord He said that he discussed the situation with the adults last night, exchanged opinions in depth, and the relief grain in the official warehouse can only last for three days, and the mulberry seedlings must be planted as soon as possible, these are the truth. But these facts have been discussed a few days ago, why can't they be implemented at that time, but they can be implemented today? I can't understand it! Qin Mi asked sonorously, his voice was extremely loud in the silent hall, all the officials looked at him with a look of surprise, is this new magistrate crazy, and he plans to start a war with the entire Zhejiang officialdom before he reports for duty?

"Since it's true, it should have been passed the day before yesterday! What's so puzzling about this! He Jinxian frowned and hurriedly replied.

"Please let me finish my humble duties!" Qin Mi planned to let it go, and he was dismissed and investigated, he had already lived in the shadow of his mentor for a lifetime, and he had a whole life in his pocket, and it didn't matter if he didn't do it, but no matter what, before he died, he had to experience the kind of ambition and pride of his mentor to withstand great pressure and carry out reforms!

"I was transferred from the Ministry of Officials this time, and I had a certain understanding of the situation in Zhejiang before I came to Zhejiang, and I spent a lot of time visiting this time. In Jiande County, there are 270,000 households, 540,000 registered people, and 500,000 acres of land are registered, of which 320,000 mu are the fields of large silk households, and only 180,000 mu are cultivated farmers' fields. On average, the annual output of white rice per person in the grain market is less than 250 catties, and it is spread to less than 72 meters per person per day! Women, children, old and young, can barely satisfy their hunger, but it is far from enough! Fortunately, I had to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, the water to eat the water, to grow some tea, to catch some fish and shrimp in the Sangma River, and sell them in the market in order to pay taxes. If there is any surplus, they will exchange some oil and salt, buy some coarse grains, and make ends meet. The suffering of the people's livelihood has been unspeakable......" Qin Mi said impassionedly and bluntly above the lobby, Yu Xinwu felt that he was almost faceless, he was also a Jinshi, he was still a Hanlin, but the other party was only a magistrate, even if he came to take up his post, he was just a six-grade principal, and he could speak for the people desperately, but what about himself? What is the face of himself, and then he goes back to Beijing to see his teacher, and what is the face of facing the millions of living beings in Zhejiang?

It's just that before Qin Mi's words were finished, He Jinxian interrupted impatiently: "These political envoys and yamen you said have numbers!" Stop it! ”

"Let him go on!" Qian Ning suddenly opened his eyes, and looked at Qin Mi's majestic momentum with a shining, as if the former Qian Bu political envoy had returned, which made the officials sitting in the hall tremble in their hearts: Why, is Qian Ning planning to have a public showdown with He Jinxian now?

Qin Mi didn't look at He Jinxian, but continued: "During the flood, more than half of the people's fields were flooded in Jiande, about 90,000 mu, if they sell their fields, they can only rent land for cultivation next year. If the rent is still paid at 55, there will only be more than 100 catties of rice left per person per year, and after threshing, there will only be 30 taels and 5 yuan per person per day! With such a little food, women, children, old and young still can't eat enough, let alone those men in their prime! If it is changed to a mulberry field, there is not even such a little rice per person per day! May I ask Lord Futai, are you enough to eat three taels and five dollars of rice a day?! ”

Yu Xinwu was speechless for a long time before he said softly: "...... Inadequate. ”

Qin Mi said again: "My lord, you are the prefect of Hangzhou, with hundreds of thousands of lives on your shoulders, and a thousand catties of burden!" How many lives will be lost in this pen! Beware! ”

These words are the real truth, and everyone in the hall knows it. It's just that what does the life and death of the people of the world have to do with me? Even if the people of Zhejiang are dead, we are still our officials! It can be seen that his heavy appearance can't help but ponder in his heart. Myself...... Shouldn't something be done about it?

There was an awkward silence in the lobby again.
