Chapter 403: Rotten by the Roots
Hearing the old man praise Hu Shining, Qin Li couldn't help but take a lot of interest in Hu Shining. www.biquge.info As the saying goes, a hero and three gangs have come to Hejian to be the prefect, and the officials of the following states and counties must be well governed, in other words, the success of their own Hejian prefect is largely related to the officials of the following states and counties.
A county order like Hu Shining is exactly what he needs, and if there are more county orders like Hu Shining in the following states and counties, then it is not easy for him to be the prefect.
The old man naturally admired Hu Shining's county order very much, so he opened his mouth and replied, "Alas! How can it be compared to before, things in this world are really infuriating. People in this world are also infuriating when they say it. ”
Good dragon knock! The old man talked like this, like he was not an ordinary person, he was an old immortal, which made Qin Li laugh in his heart when he heard it.
But no matter what, I have to admit that the old man's words are very philosophical.
The old man then told the reason. It turned out that Hu Shining was prosperous in Jiaohe County, and the people's lives were comfortable, and Jiaohe County became the most wealthy county in Hejian Prefecture.
As the saying goes, the gun shoots the first bird. Human jealousy is always there. Jiaohe County is so rich that it makes the left side door of the Hejian prefect very jealous. In fact, according to the character of the left side door, he has long wanted to take down Hu Shining and replace him with his own person. The removal of the county order must be reported to the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials shall approve it.
The left side door was made like this in the river, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yanling, the prince of Changguo, would have been taken down long ago. The gifts given to Zhang Yanling by the left side door are not insignificant, but Hu Shining's affairs are very clear to the imperial court. From Liu Ji, the secretary of the ministry, to Xia Yan, the second assistant of the cabinet, Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, is very fond of Hu Shining. If you want to replace Hu Shining, there is no hope. Zhang Yanling said that it didn't work.
In this way, Hu Shining, a stunned county magistrate, can be durable.
It turned out that it was impossible to remove Hu Shining, so there was no other way but to block Hu Shining, anyway, he couldn't let Hu Shining's life be better, let alone let Jiaohe County continue to be rich like this.
What to do? There is a way to the left door of the prefect of Hejian, and there is a way to the prefect and the prefecture below the prefect. Isn't there a lot of landlords in Hejian Province and the following states and counties? The landlord Haoqiang's family is full of all kinds of domestic slaves. These house slaves are those mighty dogs, who do whatever they are told to do.
In this way, at the instigation of the magistrates and governors of various counties, the heroes from all over the country have their eyes fixed on the sandy beach in Jiaohe County. Hu Shining, don't you have the ability? Isn't there such a treasure in your Jiaohe County? Then we will make your treasure land unable to grow anise.
This is a typical I can't get better, and I definitely can't let you be good. I'm extremely greedy, fish and flesh people, you Hu Shining has become an outlier, then you must be eliminated, or you must become the same person as us.
Thousands of acres of sandy land are all planted with anise trees, but in a few nights, they were all cut down and robbed by domestic slaves from all over the world.
Hu Shining, as the magistrate of Jiaohe County, also has some errand soldiers who can go to the battlefield and dare to kill people, but there are too few people. How can dozens of people from the county government protect thousands of acres of fields, and how can they beat the swarming domestic slaves.
That is, two years ago, Jiaohe County's octagonal land was gone, and Jiaohe County's additional income was gone. Without income, the imperial court still has to collect taxes, and Hu Shining has no choice but to increase the taxes in Jiaohe County.
Seeing that Jiaohe County, which he has worked so hard to run, is about to become the past again, and seeing that the people of Jiaohe County are about to live a hard life of having a meal without a meal. Hu Shining's heart was almost dripping blood, he really didn't understand why the officials of the Ming Dynasty had become like this. If you don't go along with them, there is only a dead end waiting for you.
Hu Shining was both angry and anxious, and soon fell ill. Hu Shining's illness almost cost him his life. A serious illness is a year. If it weren't for Li Shizhen's diagnosis and treatment of Hu Shining and his prescription, I'm afraid Hu Shining would have confessed just this time.
When the old man said this, Qin Li found that the old man's eyes clearly contained tears. He was extremely sad, and he felt injustice for Hu Shining.
At this time, Qin Li's chest was already turbulent. Fuck it! Is this Hejian Province? I, Qin Li, have also walked through a few places, and I have seen many corrupt officials, but I have never seen a place like Hejian Mansion where everyone embezzles together and fishes the people together, and if there is a stranger, it will be eliminated immediately.
When Qin Li was in Yangzhou, Jiang Yao, the prefect of Yangzhou, was a Qing official, not to mention, even if there were lawbreakers in the following states and counties, they were secretive, and they would never dare to play this openly.
What kind of place is Hejian Mansion, and who gave those officials so much courage? It is no wonder that Hejian Mansion is close to Baoding Province and Shandong Province, the geographical location is very important, and the land here is quite fertile, but the life of the people is the most miserable.
It's all plains, and it doesn't seem like there have been droughts or floods over the years. If there were a few officials like Hu Shining who were dedicated to the people, maybe Hejian Mansion would have become rich a long time ago, and the people's lives would have been like living in paradise.
It's rotten, Hejian Mansion is rotten by the roots.
Qin Li thought so.
The anger in his chest was about to erupt. But Qin Li finally held back. Because the old man didn't leave Qin Li any time to think and reminisce, his conversation box had been opened, and he had to pour everything he knew to Qin Li.
The old man continued, "Master Hu's illness is finally cured, Master Hu is really good, he is now continuing to plant star anise on that beach on the one hand, and let the servants guard as much as he wants." On the other hand, Master Hu is constantly expanding the number of servants.
Anyone who is physically strong, has some martial arts, and is not afraid of death can go to Master Hu's county office as an errand officer. The premise is that there is no money, and it can only be enough to eat.
You know, where will the current county government have extra money, and it is really not easy to make the recruited errands have enough to eat.
After a short period of training, the recruited officers were able to guard the Octagonal Land. Alas! Some people simply died on that octagonal ground. Because the people sent by the powerful people from all over the country are constantly harassing them.
A while ago there was good news and bad news. The good news is that the left side door of the river prefect is dead, and the left side door, you can hear the name and know that it is not a good bird. He should have died a long time ago, and his death was a great joy. The bad news is that I heard that the new prefect is not a thing than the left side door, but also a greedy person who treats the people like pigs and dogs! (To be continued.) )
