The people who came with Fanjiazhuang, under the leadership of Fan Changwang and Fan Changyou, were waiting at the eight-character wall outside the county yamen. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info dozens of Fan clan disciples stood in two rows, and on the opposite side were more than a dozen officials with sticks, ready to bomb and crash into the Yamen.

To the surprise of the officials, these villagers were not as impulsive as most of the people they were familiar with, rushing up with farm tools and waiting to be harvested by the officers and soldiers for their exploits. The farm tools in their hands were thrown aside early, and instead of showing signs of using force, they didn't even say a word of swearing, but under the leadership of the two old men, they knelt opposite the yamen. Behind them, there is a banner written by Fan Jin, "Fan Jin, the head of the Nanhai case, led the people of Jinsha Township and Fanzhuang to deliver money and grain into the city." "The silver hook iron painting, the pen is strong, and it is worthy of being the first means of the South China Sea case.

Even a few Jinyi wrestlers who heard the wind and came to watch the situation nodded secretly: "These people are not simple, there must be someone behind them, and the trouble is just right, but now it is difficult for the yamen to do." ”

Fan Changwang instructed the cadres behind him and said: "Jin Zai said that most of the people who came to deliver food were arrested, and we were not allowed to move, and we all knelt down." If there is no news after an hour, everyone will cry with me, and when the time comes, see if the black yarn of this county order is still worn! ”

At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the yamen, the Zhuangban officials on duty were separated, and several old officials came out of it with some dry food and tea, and the first person was Fan Jin, and said to Fan Changwang:

"Uncle, the county master has approved our invitation, and we can deliver the money and grain now, let's hurry up. Even if you want to thank the lord for his grace, it should be done now, and if you don't get up again, I'm afraid that someone will misunderstand and say that we are coercing the government. You see, the master also sent people to bring food and drink to the villagers, where can such a good official who loves the people like a son? ”

The muscles on the faces of several old officials twitched slightly, and they muttered to themselves in their hearts: This Fan Jin's household registration is a civil registration, could it be a mistake? Looking at this technique, it is clear that only the husband has the ability, I really don't know which generation in the family is the one who eats the public meal.

Fang is the household manager who can't receive money and food, and there is no way at this time, he is a bureaucrat, and he has a name in the ministry, even if it is a county order, he can't be dismissed at will. But officials are officials after all, and once the officials have a clear request, he can't force them to stop the signs. What's more, Guangzhou City is a provincial capital, if things are big, the county officials will put all the responsibility on themselves, how can a mere official carry the governor's military authority.

Hou Zhong watched from the sidelines, and even such common means as drenching and kicking could not be used, and this year's grain tax was collected and put into the warehouse in the form of forty percent of the cashier and sixty percent of the grain, and in the process, he did not get half of the benefits. While staring at the scales in the yamen, Guan Nian secretly said in his heart: Brother Hong, it's not that my brother refuses to help, there is really no way, Fan Jin has the knowledge of the county as a backer, and our means can't be used.

In the West Flower Hall, Fan Jin had already sat back opposite Hou Shouyong, "Teacher, the disciples of the villagers will definitely not make trouble." However, in the eighteen villages of Jinsha Township, we only have two villages, and the situation in other villages is not easy to say. Besides, in the entire Nanhai County, there is not only one Jinsha Township, if something happens again, I am afraid that the teacher will not be stable. ”

"I called you here to discuss a charter with you, and since you and I are masters and apprentices, we have a stake. You also know that your case leader is for the teacher, and if the position of the teacher is not stable, your case leader will not be stable. Now we have to come up with a charter in this together. The burden of being a teacher is very heavy, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand, and only between master and apprentice can they say a few words of confidant. ”

Hou Shouyong recognized the name of master and apprentice with Fan Jin for the first time, although he was still limited to the secret room, and there was no third party, but it was different from Fan Jin's unilateral call for him in the past. From this moment on, the two have a binding of interests, as long as Hou Shouyong is still a parent official in the South China Sea, he has the obligation to help his disciple, and in turn, the disciple must also serve the teacher, share the glory and loss, and share the benefits.

"Teacher, disciple understands what you mean, there are many things in the South China Sea, and the matter of money and food is very difficult. In Foshan, for example, there is silver, but there is no grain, so if they have to pay grain according to the cultivated land, they can only find a way to buy it. But if they want a Master, they will not agree. There are fewer small workers in the mines, and whoever goes to mine iron will smelt it. Most of those mine owners are powerful, and they have iron tools in their hands, and if they cause hundreds of people to change, I am afraid that if they don't wait immediately, there will be a big disaster. Putting aside the far and talking about the near, it means taking Jinsha Township as an example, and it is not trivial for the eighteen villages to make trouble. The students can now go to the township and talk to the prime ministers of each village, as long as they can act according to the regulations of Fan Zhuang, and they will not make trouble if they don't come out. But...... The disciples are scholars, and I am afraid that they will not be able to win their trust. Can you ask the teacher for a private seal, it can be regarded as a token. ”

Hou Shou also sweated on his forehead, knowing that he had almost made a big mistake by not noticing it for a while. Nanhai County is the largest county in Guangzhou, and its land under its jurisdiction is equivalent to the sum of two to three counties. Because the local area was too big and difficult to manage, the county had to be stationed in Foshan to set up another yamen, which actually formed the pattern of Zimu County.

When a county is large, there are naturally many things, and the actual difficulties faced by various places under the jurisdiction of a county are different. In the eyes of the officials, each county is just a literal concept, and it is required to be carried out when an order is issued, and only the officials who are close to the people can understand what the situation is under their rule.

In the case of Nanhai, for example, it is nominally a county, but it cannot implement the same positive policy, and the local economic situation in Nanhai is completely different from that of Foshan. As a bureaucrat of this era, Hou Shouyong did not lack experience in the past, but he integrated theory with practice and formulated different correct policies according to local realities, and this requirement was inevitably too demanding.

Limited to the times, Hou Shouyong can only achieve the level of ordinary bureaucrats in this time and space, as Fan Jin said, it is beyond his ability to analyze specific problems and formulate standards according to the specific conditions of each village in the jurisdiction. But he could indeed understand that what Fan Jin said was right, and he was also sure that Fan Jin could help him.

"Private chapters are not as good as living people, I asked Hou Yi to accompany you to talk, which is my representative. As for what you said about the conquest of Latin, we do have difficulties in the South China Sea. But according to what you said, if the money is discounted, when the time comes, the military gate will look for food and a master, what should we do? ”

"Teacher, our water transportation in Guangzhou is developed, businessmen from all walks of life gather, it is not difficult to buy rice and grain, and there are idlers who can't find jobs. As long as you have money, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy rice, and you don't have to worry about not being able to hire a husband. Of course, we are not blindly asking for money, and the situation is different in each village, so we cannot apply a one-size-fits-all approach. Some villages have money, and some villages have grain, so let each village adjust it on its own and hand it over according to the number due, as long as the total amount is right. ”

Hou Shouyong said: "Your idea, there is a problem with the price of rice, in case the silver is handed over, but the price of rice changes, we are not asking for trouble at that time, but also use money to fill the shortfall?" And how to grasp how much grain should be paid by each village? ”

"If you go back to your teacher, on the side of the grain store, the disciple can ask someone to be responsible for the negotiation, and there is always the military affairs of the army, and the grain merchants dare not go too far. As for the taxes to be paid by each village, they are checked by the fish scale album of the bottom account of the household, and the account books of all parties are checked, and they are not afraid of not being able to check the figures. ”

"If you say so, you can also consider it, but this matter is very involved, and it only depends on Nanhai County, I'm afraid it can't be done."

Fan Jin said: "We can only take the lead in this matter in Nanhai County, and in the end, the governor of Liangguang will inevitably come forward to endorse it." According to the disciple's opinion, it is better to write a letter in advance and send it to the prefect's yamen, and ask Taishou to make a decision on this matter. ”

Hou Shou moved with his heart, and his eyes were staring at Fan Jin, "Fan Jin, your mind is very vicious, and it is clear that you want to pull Taishou into the water." If Tao Taishou knew that you came up with this idea, I am afraid that you will look good when you take the test. ”

Fan Jinxin said: It is the rule of officialdom that the county trial must be recorded, even if Tao Jianzhi hates me, what can he do? I love watching him grit his teeth at me and make me helpless. Of course, this kind of thing can't be said, only said: "For the teacher's worries, the disciple is duty-bound!" Even if you fail this scientific examination, you are willing. ”
