Chapter Ninety-Five: The People Can Only Ascend with Their Consent

As soon as the old man's words came out, this time it was not only the two brothers who were stunned, but some people who didn't know the details were also in a trance, a person who ran to Lingnan as a assassin, who could be in charge of the county order here? The assignment and assessment of the county order seem to be the emperor's decision, right?

Even if it is a small county that is not important, it is also arranged by the local state assassin history, when will there be a matter of designating a county order across state capitals?

"If I don't believe it, I'm not afraid of impeachment?" A tourist in the crowd said that he didn't believe in this kind of thing, if he wanted to say that a person who was less than thirty years old would be the champion, he could accept it, after all, there were younger people who were the champions, and if he wanted to say that he was less than thirty years old and became a state assassin, he could understand, after all, it was over there in Lingnan, but if he wanted to say that he could manage the affairs of the officials here from so far away, then he would not admit it, after all.......

The voice was not small, and the people around all looked at this person, seeing the clothes he was wearing, the jade used to press the clothes, and the look on his face, he knew that he was the son of an official eunuch, and he wanted to know some official things.

The old man who looked at the pavilion glanced at this boy a few times, and said with a confident look: "The county order of this county is now Zhao Xiang Zhao County Order, and he will go to the capital to do things as soon as this winter passes, and the next county order is the current county commander Zhang Mingsheng Zhang Zhubo, if you don't believe it, you just wait and see."

The next master is the current county officer, the next county is the current county captain Wang, and there is a county captain who is Zheng Wen, all the people of Sanshui County already know that Zheng Wenshu is fighting for the position of county captain with his younger brother Zheng Daobi, and the people chose Zheng Wen.

His younger brother can only wait for the next time, if he does a good job, he can take over his brother's position, if he doesn't do well, someone else will come up, he is not in a hurry, he is only twenty-one years old, it is better to stay below for two more years to do something practical. ”

When the son of this official eunuch heard the old man's words, he had only one thought, that is, arrogance, it was too arrogant, according to what he said, the county order of Sanshui County was level by level, and the back was all waited, and it was arranged to the sword and pen officer in one breath, whose official is it?

"Whose official is it?" This boy directly said what was in his heart.

"The parents are naturally the officials of the people, Zheng Wenshu is because the people say it is good, and they feel that they have done more than his younger brother, so that there can be a position, the people say that it is not good, even the current Zhao County Order has to find other places by himself, don't want to stay in Sanshui County, Sanshui County does not want to be mediocre officials, do not be corrupt officials.

Impeach? How could there be no impeachment? It is said that the emperor said that whoever impeaches will arrange for a person to come over as a county magistrate, and the annual tax paid to the imperial court is only allowed to be more, not less, and the voice of impeachment is suddenly gone, do you know how much tax Sanshui County pays in a year? 150,000 yuan in silver, do you know what this means? ”

The old man seemed to know a lot, and said to this son.

"150,000? A county? If this is a poor state, the tax of one county can be worth two or three states, it is impossible, absolutely impossible, if this is the case, there will be countless people who will break their heads and come to be county magistrates. ”

This son seems to be indeed the son of an official eunuch, and he immediately knows what this money represents, and if he can pay so much in taxes, how much money do local merchants and people have? Just get a little bit on them, and those tens of thousands of yuan will be easy to get.

Thinking of this, the boy said: "150,000 guan, it means that your people and merchants are richer, and the tax is just a part of the money. ”

"Do you think that 150,000 guan is like this every year? Change an official who does not agree with the master of the Zhang family, don't say that it is 150,000 guan, fifteen guan is a lot less, saying that if you can't collect it, you can't collect it, it's easy to break your head, but it's difficult to keep your head when you leave.

If you want to be an official, you can get an idle job first, and then slowly follow and do things, and you can get the approval of the people of Sanshui County, then you can naturally be promoted, you must have the ability, and you can't take bribes, let alone be greedy, and do things well, and when you leave office and go up, you will get both official and financial resources, otherwise, you will be careful with your life. ”

The old man guarding the pavilion snorted coldly, and after saying this, he continued: "Those impeached people are red-eyed, but they are not sure that they can find such a person who is willing to do things for the people and has the ability to come over as a county magistrate, and the court attaches great importance to this tax, so it gradually lost its voice. ”

"How do you know so much?" The boy asked confusedly.

"I am Zhao Xiang Zhao Jifang, his Taishan Lord, Jifang's baby is not bad, filial piety and can do practical things for the people." The old man's words frightened Song Jinggong, didn't he say that Zhao Countyling's father-in-law was somewhere else? How did you come here to see the pavilion?

The boy thought the same way: "You have a son-in-law of the county order who ran here to see the pavilion? You...... Who believes? ”

"What about the son-in-law? You can't arrange something for me to do with only money and no work, right? I'm not old enough to move, I can do something to do something, guarding the pavilion, not only can make it convenient for people to come and go, but also buy some snacks for my grandson to eat, in case of rain and snow, I use the sand and gravel piled up here to pad a mat, watching the people walk over steadily, this heart is also comfortable, why not? ”

The old man smiled and squeezed his bruised hand again, looking very proud.

At this moment, many tourists who don't know what is going on have a special feeling for this place, this place does not allow people to starve to death and freeze to death, the tax of this place can be compared with other state capitals, the officials of this place must be recognized by the people, and the old man of the county order guards the pavilion to repair the bridge and repair the road.

There may be only one such place in the whole Datang, it's amazing, isn't Sanshui County a paradise?

Someone thought so, so they asked, Song Jinggong said at this time: "Heaven is here, hell is also here, as for what it is, it's all in one thought, go eat it, who ordered the noodles?" The fast is gone. ”

Everyone then remembered that they hadn't finished eating, and the meat and everything that had just gone in were old, so they quickly dispersed and ran back to their respective places to eat, but their mentality was different, and then eating this hot pot at this time, it seemed that the taste was better, and the cold winter night also made people feel so warm.

"You two have some more? It's okay to drink some soup, the soup of this sauerkraut hot pot is consumed, who brought the bean curd? I don't eat it, and eating sauerkraut and fermented bean curd is fishier than eating raw sea fish. ”

Song Jinggong saw that everyone went back to eat, and sat down to fill his stomach, but he was still hungry, so he looked at the two brothers opposite and persuaded again.

"It's okay to drink some, this nobleman, why didn't you say earlier that eating this bean curd and sauerkraut would be so fishy, I thought that hot pot tasted like this." When the elder brother said with a depressed look, the younger brother also nodded violently beside him.

The old man who looked at the pavilion laughed, he usually eats hot pot at home, the smell of fish is unbearable for ordinary people, but his grandson likes to eat it very much, and he served some soup to the two young men, and the old man said to Song Jinggong: "Song Gongzi, what happened just now ......"

"Don't worry, boss, I won't care about this matter, if you want to guard the pavilion, then guard it, the old lady of the main family often repairs bridges and repairs roads with her in-laws, the little boy and the little lady have not stopped it, so I will not stop you." Song Jinggong hurriedly assured.

"It's not about this matter, you said it first, you have to add more quilts and build a small cabin here, it's too cold outside, it would be better if you could bring some medicine to ward off the cold."

What the old man said was not the same thing as Song Jinggong was thinking at all.

Song Jinggong then remembered that there were still important things, and immediately nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, boss, I will start doing this tomorrow, there are medicines, waiting for the dog to raise more, a pavilion with a dog, and it can usually relieve boredom, but I didn't think about it enough, I was negligent here, I have to write a letter of guilt and send it to Luzhou." ”

"Nobleman, you have done a good job, why are you still guilty? That's a credit. "When my brother is even more curious, this person should be the manager of the two counties in charge of the business, can manage the place like this, is it a crime to be useless?

Song Jinggong didn't say anything, he regretted that he hadn't thought it through enough, drank some soup, and sighed.

The old man explained to the two brothers, "Meritorious work is merit, passing is excessive, Song Gongzi has a lot of credit, but if someone freezes to death because of his negligence, then the crime will be great, fortunately, there is a fire, there is no such thing until now, it is not too late to make amends,."

You don't know the Zhang family here, you can do things in the Zhang Wang family, it is a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation, do it well, but remember, don't rely on the name of the Zhang family to do bad things, the heaven and hell in Sanshui County, only between the line, for the good, the smooth road, for the evil, thorns are everywhere, because of the greed for the benefits of Sanshui County and bankrupt people are not a few, and no one has ever succeeded.

If you want to make a profit in Sanshui County, you have to deal with the Zhang family first, and if you want to deal with the Zhang family, you have to face the anger of the people of Yaozhou and Sanshui County first. ”

"Then what if the emperor does it? The candidate for the county order actually wants to pass the Zhang family, is the emperor willing? "When I was an elder brother, I really thought of a lot of things and grasped the key points.

"You don't know how many benefits the Zhang family has brought to the emperor, and the emperor can't protect it, how can he do it to the Zhang family? The lord of the Zhang family has a Zhuangzi here, so the emperor can rest assured that Sanshui County can get so much tax every year.

The lord of the Zhang family arrived in Huayuan County, and later became a state, and the emperor did not worry about Yaozhou, this year Yaozhou did not send less taxes, the most important thing is that the people in these two places have a better life, no one goes to break the law, Yaozhou also sent the people watch to the emperor, saying that the emperor arranged good officials for them.

At this time, the lord of the Zhang family was in Luzhou for the history of assassination, there was a disaster, the master of the Zhang family with the strength of the family, supported the stability of several surrounding states in Luzhou, next year Luzhou's tax will also make the emperor happy, do you say that the emperor will make such a person? ”

Song Jinggong couldn't say anything, after all, he was from the Zhang family, but the old man didn't have so many worries, and said to the two brothers.
