Chapter 312: Wealth touches people's hearts
Zhou Zheng, as an envoy, inspected the place, acted Yongping Mansion, and rectified armaments, how could no one pay attention?
From the time Zhou Zheng entered the boundary of Yongping Mansion, he was stared at all the time, especially when he arrived at the mansion, even more so, I don't know how many pairs of eyes were watching every move of the prefect's yamen.
The people brought by Zhou Zheng moved quickly, repairing the government and hiring all kinds of servants, the momentum was not big, but the movement was not small.
In particular, the '100,000 taels' thing accidentally came out, which alarmed I don't know how many people.
Zhang's house.
A middle-aged man at the foot of the slope was on crutches, quickly pushed the door into a room, looked at the old man who closed his eyes not far away, moved a little slower, approached and whispered: "My lord, I have found out." This week Zhengyun is the second son of Zhou Yuanshan, the right attendant of the household department, before he came, the household department did allocate 100,000 taels of silver to him, which was used to rest the people's livelihood and armaments of Yongping Mansion. ”
The old man is Zhang Yonglian, the Zuo Fu Cheng of Yongping Mansion, which is the common saying.
He opened his eyes, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, he looked at the middle-aged man at the foot of the slope, and said, "Confirmed?" ”
The middle-aged man at the foot of the slope is the secretary of Yongping Mansion, Mo Lingui.
Mo Lingui looked at Zhang Yonglian, his eyes were solemn, and said, "It's confirmed, what he brought should be 20,000 taels." ”
"Twenty thousand taels ......" Zhang Yonglian looked out of the door, his eyes became sharper and sharper.
Yongpyeong Mansion is an inferior province, although it is in the northern Zhili of Gyeonggi Land, but it is backed by Shanhaiguan and Jizhou, which has been extracted for many years, and it is even more barren, 20,000 taels, for them, it is a big number!
Mo Lingui looked at the greedy look in Zhang Yonglian's eyes, and said in a low voice: "My lord, what should we do?" ”
Zhang Yonglian glanced at him lightly and said, "Do you still need me to teach you?" Changli County has suffered a drought this year, although the imperial court has exempted money and grain, it still has to provide disaster relief, right? Isn't Funing County a bandit? Lack of money and food, isn't it? Isn't the government still in arrears this year? Is it possible that the silver brought by the patrol lord is to fill his own pocket? ”
Mo Lingui smiled ambiguously when he heard this, and said, "My lord is smart." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a family member came in and said, "Master, the government has posted a notice, saying that before noon today, all the officials under the government must report to him, otherwise he will be dismissed and investigated." ”
Mo Lingui's face changed slightly and looked at Zhang Yonglian.
Zhang Yonglian looked calm, reached out and took the teacup, and said, "If you are sleepy, come and send a pillow, this patrol is interesting, then go." ”
Mo Lingui suddenly understood, and hurriedly said: "It's an adult, the villain will go." ”
Zhang Yonglian looked at his back, waited for him to leave, turned to the family, and said, "Is the eldest young master back?" ”
Jia Ding hurriedly said: "I heard that the eldest young master was injured a little bit, and he will have to wait a while to come back." ”
Zhang Yonglian's eyes suddenly turned cold, he snorted, and said: "Dare to hurt my son, it doesn't matter if you are an envoy or a patrol, don't think about leaving Yongping Mansion in peace!" ”
……
After the government has been cleaned up, it has changed a lot, and it looks a lot more comfortable.
Shangguan Lie and Ding Qi were arguing about how to decorate.
Shangguan Lie's mouth never stopped, and Ding Qi couldn't interject at all, and fine sweat broke out on his anxious head.
In the end, Ding Qi gritted his teeth and said: "You and your sister are about to leave, how do you manage the government office!" ”
This sentence pierced Shangguan Lie's lung tube, making him speechless.
He and his sister Shangguan Qing were both 'escorting' Zhou Zhenglai to take office, and it stands to reason that they are both leaving, although in their hearts, and even everyone knows that they are going to stay.
Zhou Zheng came out of the back hall, looked at them bickering, and said, "Is anyone coming?" ”
Ding Qi looked up at the sky, it was noon, and turned to Zhou Zhengdao: "My lord, none of them came." ”
Zhou Zheng looked at the somewhat obscure sun and said, "When the time comes, the door will be closed, and no one will come." ”
"Yes." Ding Qi responded and turned to the door.
Ding Qi counted the time and was about to close the door, Mo Lingui led seven or eight people to the door, raised his hand, and said with a respectful smile: "The villain is the secretary of the government and the secretary, and he has come to report to the inspector." ”
Ding Qi looked at the time, and felt annoyed, these people pinched the time, and it was clear that they were contemptuous of Zhou Zheng.
Suppressing his anger, Ding Qi said lukewarmly: "Come in." ”
Mo Lingui smiled, took the people, and went straight to the back hall, the prefect's class room, familiar with the door, without any scruples.
Zhou Zheng had already gotten the news, sat on a chair, and watched a group of mermaids rush in.
Mo Lingui looked at Zhou Zheng's young face and sneered in his heart, if you don't have a good old man, how can you become a patrol press and get 100,000 taels of silver?
Disdainful in his heart, Mo Lingui said with a respectful expression on his face: "The villain is a book Mo Lingui, and I have seen Lord Patrol." ”
"The villain's torture book Win Tao has seen the patrol adult."
"The little artificial book Lin Ji has seen the patrol adult."
"The Villain Experiences Division Experiences ......"
"The Villain's Prison Division......"
"The villain Teruma ......"
These people are the six rooms of the government office, as well as the heads of several divisions, with a respectful face, standing not far from Zhou Zheng with their heads bowed, and they will not say more than half a word after speaking.
This kind of scene, as if these are the prisoners who are confessing their sins to Zhou Zheng and waiting to be released.
The reality is not, this kind of calmness and indifference is more like making Zhou Zheng a passerby, and it is quite obvious to deal with it.
Zhou Zheng didn't seem to see their looks, nodded lightly, and said, "Okay, we all know each other, let's talk about the things you have at hand." ”
A group of people raised their heads and looked at Mo Lingui in front of them.
Mo Lingui raised his hand and said, "Returning to the patrol according to my lord, the position of the prefect has been vacant for more than half a year, and many things have been abandoned, and there is nothing in the hands of the villain. ”
Zhou Zheng's brows moved slightly, and he said secretly, "Is this going to completely empty me?" Can't even cope? ’
Zhou Zheng snorted and said, "Where are the two Fucheng now?" ”
Mo Lingui said: "According to the words of the Lord, Lord Zhang was in unbearable pain as soon as he arrived in winter, and now he is recuperating in the mansion and has not left the mansion for many days. Master Zheng went back to his hometown and didn't come back yet. ”
Well, there are two mansions, one is recuperating at home, and the other is visiting relatives in the township.
The government affairs of Yongping Mansion are really deserted.
Zhou Zheng looked at these people and said a little boredly: "Is there anything else to report?" ”
Mo Lingui hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Lord Hui, there is." ”
Zhou Zheng suddenly sat down a little better and said, "Say it quickly." ”
Mo Lingui looked at Zhou Zheng's movements, his heart was disdainful, and he opened his mouth and said: "My lord, Funing County was affected by the disaster last year, and tens of thousands of people were homeless. In addition, the gourd river soared last year, the river burst the embankment, flooded for dozens of miles, and the victims were innumerable. ”
Zhou Zheng's eyes flashed with a smile, so he said embarrassedly: "Well, the situation is urgent, how much silver is in the treasury?" ”
Mo Lingui's expression did not move, and said, "Lord Hui, there is no silver or two." In addition, the government owed 63,241,25 yuan to the officials of the government, which needed to be paid immediately. ”
Zhou Zheng blinked, according to Mo Lingui's algorithm, his 100,000 taels is not enough, and he has to be short of 3,241 taels and 5 yuan?
