Song Hua ignored Chen Huatao's ridicule, and said to Ye Wenyang: "My lord, our Yangqing Township is working hard, and there will be good results." ”

Song Hua thought of Song Wenjian's explanation, it was best not to say it now, so he just said a good expectation.

Chen Huatao asked: "Song Hua, what is the good result you are talking about?" Is it possible to collect 10,000 stone tax grain in a month? ”

Li Rujun couldn't help but be angry when he heard Chen Huatao say this, with the adults of Leizhou Mansion here, Chen Huatao actually said these words of infighting. "Hua Tao, don't say it."

"Yes, Lord Prefectural." Chen Huatao saw that his goal had been achieved, and retreated with a smile.

Ye Wenyang glared at Song Hua and said, "Song Hua, let me ask you, can you complete the task of collecting taxes and grain within a month?" If you can't complete it, don't blame me for making a statement to the prefect and dismissing you from your post. ”

Hahaha. Chen Huatao laughed proudly in his heart, and the smile on his face was as bright as a chrysanthemum.

Song Hua, Song Hua, I know best what the situation is in Yangqing Township. A month later, you're just waiting to be fired and jailed.

Song Hua's face changed, he didn't expect Chen Huatao and Ye Wenyang to be so vicious.

If it weren't for his son helping him this time, a month later, not only would he not be able to be a county official, but he would also be imprisoned.

If something happens to him, his son will definitely be killed by these people.

No, I can't have an accident. Song Hua couldn't wait to rush to Yangqing Township now to check on the signing of the contract between Mo Weibao and the farmers, so as not to have too many dreams at night.

"Lord Ye, I will try my best to complete the task." Song Hua Dao.

"Not as much as possible, but definitely, or you'll just wait and see." Ye Wenyang picked up the startling wood and knocked it the plate, which frightened Li Rujun and the others.

Ye Wenyang stared at Li Rujun again and said, "Li Rujun, if you can't complete the task in Suixi County, you are also responsible." And the county where I supervise you will also be blamed by the top, and no one will have a good time. ”

"Lord Ye, I'll do it." Li Rujun bowed his head. It seems that Song Hua can't do it, and he has to find a way.

"Rujun, Hua Tao is very good, and he is a good candidate to be a county leader in the future. Hengshan Township is only a 10,000 tax and grain task, he actually collected 100,000 stone in excess, this kind of attitude is very good, you must promote the Lord more, let everyone learn from him. The more Ye Wenyang spoke, the more excited he became.

In order to help Chen Huatao pay for his merits, Ye Wenyang had already told the prefect. The two of them summed up, and the extra 90,000 stone grain, 60,000 went to the warehouse of Leizhou Mansion, and the other 30,000 belonged to the two of them. The prefect has 20,000 and he has 10,000.

Ye Wenyang thought that he could get so many benefits at once, and he was simply overjoyed.

A talent like Chen Huatao, he is not a county official, who should be?

"What? Lord Ye, did you just say 100,000 stones? Chen Huatao suspected that he had misheard, and hurriedly shook his head vigorously and asked Ye Wenyang again.

"Yes, it's not wrong to be ten stones, I can see it clearly, and I showed it to the prefect." Ye Wenyang said. "100,000 is more than 10,000, that's excess."

Chen Huatao's face turned pale with fright, and his body was like catkins in the wind. "Lord Ye, no, I clearly wrote 10,000 stones, how could it be 100,000?"

Li Rujun was also frightened, originally their county only paid 90,000 stones, if they paid an additional 90,000 stones, it would be better to take the lives of the farmers.

"Chen Huatao, how did you do it?" Li Rujun scolded.

Ye Wenyang took out a document from his arms and said, "Fortunately, I also brought the document you wrote, Hua Tao, take a look, this is your handwriting, right?" ”

Chen Huatao ran up to check the document and confirmed that it was his own handwriting, but the difference was that the word "one" became the word "ten".

Because Song Wenjian gently scratched it at that time, where do people now know how to recognize so much.

"Call me Gao Shen to come over." Chen Huatao was so angry that he asked Gao Shen in the backyard to come over.

"Your Excellency." As soon as Gao Shen entered the court, he saw that there were so many officials, and hurriedly knelt down to speak.

"Gao Shen, let me ask you, has the document I asked you to send that day been touched by someone else?" Chen Huatao asked Gao Shen.

Gao Shen thought about it, Song Wenjian helped him look at the door that day, there should be no problem. Besides, the fire paint on the seal is not broken, how can anyone have touched the documents?

But where did Gao Shen think that Song Wenjian was a person who came from later generations, and he had the technology to get the fire paint out and then get it right.

"My lord, no one has touched the paperwork." Gao Shen shook his head.

Ye Wenyang in the hall asked: "Hua Tao, after you finished writing the document at that time, did you directly seal it with fire paint?" ”

"I just sealed it with fire paint." Chen Huatao said.

"That's it, before I opened the paperwork, I also checked the fire paint mark, it was not damaged, no one should have touched it." Ye Wenyang touched his beard and said.

Chen Huatao's face turned even paler when he heard this, if no one had touched the paperwork, it was his own fault. "My lord, maybe I wrote it wrong, I was a little unwell that day, but in fact, I wrote 10,000 stones."

"Hmph, Chen Huatao, is it child's play for you to be a clerk?" Ye Wenyang angrily patted the desk with a startled wood and stood up. "I and the prefect have seen it, and I have also reported to the province that if you don't complete the task of 180,000 stone tax grain this year, then you will be in trouble."

This sentence frightened Chen Huatao into a cold sweat, and he turned his head to look at Li Rujun, wanting Li Rujun to help intercede.

But before Li Rujun could speak, Song Hua next to him said loudly: "Lord Ye, Lord County Commander, the Yangqing Township I am in charge of is too poor, and it is very difficult to collect 10,000 stone taxes and grain this time, and it is really impossible to add it." ”

"Yes, I can't add the township I'm in charge of." Yang Yiqing also shouted.

For a while, other officials all said that the township they were responsible for could not pay taxes and grain, and Chen Huatao caused the trouble, which was borne by Chen Huatao himself.

Ye Wenyang looked at Li Rujun and asked, "Rujun, how do you say this matter should be handled?" ”

Ye Wenyang had already scolded Chen Huatao's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, and he originally thought that he would come over this time, and let Chen Huatao transport 30,000 stone of grain back to Leizhou Mansion first, and he would talk about it after separating it with the prefect.

didn't expect that Chen Huatao himself made a mistake, which made him happy.

However, now it is difficult to ride a tiger, and in order to pay for the merits, they also wrote to the province that this year's tax and grain collection will be exceeded.

If Suixi County didn't hand over the 180,000 stone tax grain, how could their Leizhou Mansion exceed its task? How are they greedy for ink?

No matter what, it's also the fault of Suixi County and Chen Huatao, just let them solve it.

"My lord, this is Chen Huatao's fault, and it has nothing to do with us." Song Wenjian pinched his nose and shouted in the crowd.

Song Wenjian just wanted to use this trick to get Chen Huatao to step down, so that his father's position could be kept.

Li Rujun heard the shouts in the crowd outside, and turned his head to see who it was, but everyone heard that Chen Huatao had written an extra 90,000 stone tax grain in order to pay for his merits, and everyone was indignant, so how could they care who was talking next to him?

Besides, this incident is not Chen Huatao's fault, so whose fault is it?
