Chapter 250: One Thing Descends One Thing

Seeing the handyman coming in with Gan Hongyu's name, Tang Cheng, who was talking to the tolerance, was stunned for a moment, so fast? The person standing in front of his bookcase was the person who had been sent to follow Gan Hongyu a few days ago, and it didn't take long to come back.

Waving his hand to let the tolerance retreat, Tang Cheng got up and straightened off his official clothes and walked straight to the yamen.

Gan Hongyu was sitting in the gatehouse drinking tea, a man in his thirties, thin and thin, with a strong bookish smell. At a glance, Tang Cheng, who was full of smiles, had already walked in, "The unknown Gan Yushi is here, if you miss it, forgive your sins!" ”

Gan Hongyu put down the teacup in his hand and took the opportunity to get up and looked at Tang Cheng, "Tang County is polite, don't dare to be"

It's okay, this Gan Hongyu's face is not bad to look at. And the fact that he was able to take the initiative to go to the government to ask for a meeting this time already shows an attitude in itself. After all, the supervision of the imperial history and the magistrate belong to two systems, and there is no subordinate relationship, let alone any friendship, and Gan Hongyu, as an investigator, does not have to see him, let alone take the initiative to come to the door.

After seeing the ceremony, Tang Cheng pointed to the sky outside and said with a smile: "It's better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry, it's time to disperse soon, and recently I just heard that a new batch of wine has arrived at the Longmen Inn, so I asked Lord Gan to go and talk about the wine night?" ”

"There is a great drought in Longmen, and the people can't eat the bark and grass roots, and they really have no intention of feasting and drinking", Xu thought of the suffering of those old and weak "women" and children, and Gan Hongyu's face suddenly appeared a gloomy "color", "Just feast and drink, just use Tang County to order a secluded place to talk"

As soon as he said this, his gloomy expression came out again, and Tang Cheng was immediately lined with the smell of Zhumen's wine and meat, and the road was frozen to death, but looking at his face carefully, it didn't look like a deliberate ridicule, and Tang Cheng, who was depressed in his heart, neither wanted to persuade nor could persuade again, so he immediately led his hand, "Please!" ”

With the words just now, the good atmosphere at the ceremony suddenly dispersed, and neither of them spoke on the way to the official room, and it was just a routine to let the seat pour tea after that.

Picked up the teacup and took a sip silently, Gan Hongyu coughed twice and then looked up at Tang Chengdao: "This official is here to ask for something, please Tang County order to suspend the construction of ladder fields, put back a cadre of requisition and transfer Ding Zhuang, and distribute the relief grain according to the head, so that the people in the thousands of disasters can share the emperor's grace."

Tang Cheng looked at Gan Hongyu quietly with the teacup, his fingers tapping on the edge of the teacup silently, and he didn't speak for a while. Gan Hongyu will not surprise him when he talks about this, but what puzzles him is the way he speaks and his attitude.

The superintendent of the imperial history does not have the right to directly "meddle" in local political affairs, so he can only change the governance strategy of the Longmen County Government through himself, the question is why did he do this? If he is dissatisfied with his governance, he can simply submit a notebook to impeach himself, so why should he come to the door and say this?

In short, Gan Hongyu's official identity was so contradictory to what he was saying now that Tang Cheng couldn't grasp what his true intentions were.

Tang Cheng thought silently for a moment, then put down the teacup in his hand and slowly said: "Lord Gan has been coming to Longmen for a few days, and he must know a lot about the situation in this county. ”

"Lord Tang's ability to govern the government and appease the people, especially the courage to act, is admired by this official", seeing what Tang Cheng was about to say, Gan Hongyu raised his hand and shook it, "What a certain person said is not an official cliché, it is indeed from the heart." It is precisely for this reason that a certain person took the liberty to visit the government today, and it is naturally good for Lord Tang to have the courage to do anything, but the choice of this timing is really a little inappropriate. ”

"I want to hear about it"

"In the year of the catastrophe, the first to support the people, the Longmen County Ya was in such a time of natural disasters to relieve, and now many old and weak "women" and children in the Longmen countryside are helpless, and eighty percent of the daily food is from the grass roots and bark found in the mountains, the fields are not harvested, the belly is like thunder but there is not a grain of relief grain, Tang County Ling as a parent, how can he bear to see the people are poor like this", at this point, Gan Hongyu sighed in a low voice, "Rao is so, during the visit of this official in a few days, the people are still praising the Tang County Order, so the people, The prefectural magistrate will take pity on them for a way to live. Now what the county government has done can be carried out again in the harvest year, why is it necessary at this time? ”

"The people also know the hardships they have suffered, but how can they do great things without enduring hardships? Before the requisition of Ding Zhuang, the official had sent scribes to "touch" the bottom in each village in each village, and there was no problem with each family's grain storage for more than a month, and at that time, the government would distribute relief grain as appropriate, and Lord Gan could rest assured at this point", Tang Cheng's tone in the explanation was also very sincere, "My lord also said just now that the people are still quite praised for their hard lives, which is enough to show that the people's hearts are supporting the current actions of the county government, and in the year of the catastrophe, it is not only necessary to provide relief, but also to make the people have peace and work, and the disaster in the field is fine, The county took this opportunity to take the opportunity of the distribution of grain to gather the people to change the land, as the master said is 'benefit but not expense', now the cost is simple and cheap, and the benefit is public and broad, the way of government is beautiful here? Gan adults think twice"

"Forgive a certain stupidity, I didn't know that the master's words could actually do this solution", Gan Hongyu was unmoved, "The imperial court has limited grain relief, and Tang County has ordered to put this into the matter of building terraces, Ding Zhuang's hard work will lead to a great increase in food, and the cost of one day is enough to cover the three-day relief amount drawn up by the household department, dare to ask how much relief grain in Longmen County is worthy of such a waste?" What will be left after January? What do you use to help the old and weak "women" and children in the countryside? ”

"This prefecture is trying to figure out a way"

"It turns out that the county order still has no law", Gan Hongyu was annoyed when he heard this, "Thousands of people can't eat, it's really a line of life and death, and the Tang County Order has no law and dares to do things like conscription, which is ridiculous!" ”

I don't understand such a simple truth, these days for the sake of the terraced things, the county government is not tired and stinky, now it's good, but Gan Hongyu is a person who doesn't do things to pick and give a "ridiculous" test, Tang Cheng is also angry, how can he stand this evaluation, and his face sank at the moment, "This government is sleepy for this winter's drought, everyone is working hard, Gan Yushi does not dare to worship the absurd word, as for the matter of food relief after January, the county has its own solution, if there is no food to help by then, It's not too late for the adults to come again to send the official authority of the Imperial Historical Observatory."

"By then, it will be too late, and the safety of more than 10,000 people's lives will not be allowed to be child's play", Gan Hongyu stood up suddenly from the stool, "This official remembers that you still have the heart to love civil affairs, so I can persuade you with good words." I don't want you to be so obsessed, the imperial court's grain relief is dedicated to helping the people, but you are not allowed to insist on going your own way for the sake of an unheard of ladder field. ”

"Work for relief, what the official does is not contrary to the law of the imperial court, as for the terraced fields, ......", Tang Cheng smiled coldly, "Whether Lord Gan has heard of it or not, this is good governance for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is a good government that the official should implement with all his might."

At this moment, he heard a knock on the door, and Tang Cheng said loudly without twisting his head, "Go out"

"It's just so far, the official actually misjudged you, wait for impeachment, farewell", Gan Hongyu didn't even bow his hand, and after saying this, he walked out until he opened the door.

The moment the door opened, Gan Hongyu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly bent down to salute respectfully, "Why is the teacher here?" ”

Teacher? When Tang Cheng looked at the call, he saw three people standing outside the official room that opened the door, Yang Jiao was standing at the end, and in front of him was a fifty-year-old old man in Mai, although he didn't know the old man, but the white-haired old servant behind his side was seen at Kong Qi's house in Liuguan Village that day.

In a blink of mind, Tang Cheng already understood who this old man was, took a deep breath and walked from behind the bookcase to the door, and bowed his hand and said, "Gong Qi"

Kong Jue ignored Gan Hongyu first, and after carefully looking at Tang Cheng from head to toe, he nodded slightly and said: "The creation of terraces is in a hundred generations, so it was built in the year of the catastrophe, all of which want to be in the people's livelihood industry, and make surplus wealth to benefit the poor. It is very rare for Yier to have such governance at his age", when he said this, Kong Jue's face was already a little smiling, "The old man wants to borrow the adult's official room for use, I don't know what he thinks?" ”

"Gong Gong praised it", Tang Cheng let go of his body while speaking, and said: "Please"

Kong Jue nodded, and said lightly when he walked into the official room: "Come in", Tang Cheng happened to hear Gan Hongyu's voice when he closed the door with his backhand, "The old classmate wrote to inform the teacher that he went to Lingnan, why is he in Longmen?" ”

The white-haired old servant stood at the door, and Tang Cheng couldn't listen anymore, so he took a few steps forward and walked to the courtyard with Yang Jiao, "What's the matter?" ”

"A few days ago, as soon as I came back from listening to the news from the state government, I moved this thought, Gan Hongyu was born in the Guozijian, Kong Jue stayed in the Guozijian for a long time, and there was a teacher-student friendship between the two", Kong Jue smiled, "I can't be sure about this matter, and I am not sure that Kong Jue's spleen 'sex' will definitely be able to invite him to come, so I didn't tell you about it, I just had the intention of trying, but I didn't expect him to come immediately after receiving the letter, and there was such a coincidence, I heard that Gan Hongyu had also arrived when I arrived at the county office." Providence, providence! ”

Hearing this, Tang Cheng reached out and patted Yang Jiao's shoulder, "Thank you."

"Why do you need to be like this", Yang Jiao shook his head and smiled and then looked over to look at the closed office, "With Kong Jue here, this matter can be assured, in terms of prestige among the country's eunuchs, even today's sacrificial wine is not as good as Kong Jue, Gan Hongyu met him is just one thing and one thing"

"Actually, this Gan Hongyu is not bad, and it is good to say that he came today. It's just that the 'sex' is too stubborn, and no one can talk and explain more."

"You two have hard temperaments, I'm afraid you won't be better when you meet together, you quarreled just now, right?"

Hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled, "Yes, it's still noisy."

The two waited while talking outside, and after about three pillars of incense, the door of the official room opened, and Kong Jue and Gan Hongyu walked out of it.

At the same time as Tang Cheng greeted him, he also sent out an invitation to go to the Dragon Gate Inn, he thought that Kong Qi Bacheng would not agree, but he didn't expect the result to be the opposite, the old master actually nodded without hesitation.

In the Accord of the Longmen Inn, Tang Cheng diligently persuaded him to drink and explained in detail the concept and process of the distribution of grain relief from the state government and the construction of terraces by the government of Longmen County in the way of gossip.

After that, he only talked about poetry and words, and it was not until this time that Gan Hongyu suddenly learned that many famous works in the past two years were actually from the hands of the Longmen County Order in front of him, and he was very impressed with a few words, and Tang Cheng was very ashamed to listen to it, and refused his impromptu poem.

That night, Tang Cheng arranged for Kong Jue's master and servant to live in the Dragon Gate Inn, and Kong Jue did not refuse, but when Tang Cheng went again the next morning, his master and servant had already left at dawn. Even Gan Hongyu also withdrew from the post house.

The meaning of Kong Jue's move was clear, and Tang Cheng didn't chase Pegasus anymore, and temporarily retracted his mind to the construction of the terraces, and after about seven or eight days, the waiting Ashdezhi did not come, but the Laifu sent to Daocheng some time ago came back with a dusty face.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Tang Cheng knew as soon as he saw the "color" of his face that this trip to Daocheng was afraid that it would not go well.
