Chapter Forty-Six: The Freshly Baked Acting County Order
His own family and his uncle's house actually spread the grain chiefs of the two districts, and Wang Fulin didn't know whether he should be depressed or angry, so he could only secretly scold Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a small farmer, half to death in his heart! From ancient times to the present, how can there be such an unreliable way of collecting taxes in the Ming Dynasty? It's like the predecessors pit the descendants, and the dead don't lose their lives!
But now that it is an imperial society, he can only slander twice, and in turn comfort Wu Tianbao, and keep him living with the Ma Family Inn. However, Wu Tianbao said that he was staying at his cousin's house in Fucheng temporarily, and learned that he had been in this Majia inn for seven or eight days, but when he left, he left five taels of silver for him.
In line with the psychology of reporting good news and not bad news, Wang Fulin did not explain the twisted joints to his uncle, and personally sent them out of the Ma Family Inn, and after he returned to the hall, he began to continue to read the "Huizhou Mansion Chronicles".
That night, none of the three people in the hall slept well. Wang Fulin didn't fall asleep until the third watch in the middle of the night, and his mind was full of all kinds of numbers; Jinbao was thinking about what he could do for the family, and he clenched his little fists hard; Qiu Feng was thinking that a deed of sale not only ruined his freedom, but also ruined his future, even if he had the opportunity to contact books now, what would he do in the future?
So, when the three of them got up early the next morning, everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious that the time to really fall asleep was short.
Tomorrow is the day when the grain chiefs of the 15 districts gather to meet the county honor. But in the morning hall that day, Ye Junyao was absent for the first time, and he let out a rumor that he occasionally felt cold and was sick and couldn't be a director. This is about to enter the summer of June, how to be infected with the wind and cold, and the subordinate officials in the county government all know in their hearts. In particular, Zhao Sicheng, the household secretary, said to the party members proudly that the county was weak and did not dare to see people. In his words, the lord of a county can't even keep a student who he is optimistic about, and he can't exempt his family from the battle of the grain chief, and this county order is really too wretched.
And when the priest came to him Zhao Sicheng, he easily subdued the county honor, how could he not be upset?
The county order does not matter, there must be a person to act on behalf of it. In terms of grade, it is naturally the top of the county, but Ye Xianzun, who is known to be in the county official's office, brought out a sentence, asking the county school to teach Master Feng to temporarily act and take over the matter of the grain chief's meeting. This was by no means in accordance with the rules, but Ye Xianzun came up with a precedent, that is, at the beginning of the year, when the heads of various prefectures and counties went to Beijing to invite them, Jixi County was once taught by the county master Yang to act as the county order!
However, Master Feng had previously gone to negotiate with the county magistrate for the matter of sending the grain chief to Wang Fulin's family, and he was obviously on Wang Fulin's side, and everyone in the six rooms knew about this matter, so how could Zhao Sicheng let the county zun succeed in this move, as soon as he learned that the county zun was interested in Master Feng taking over, he immediately ran to the county party to ask to see Fang Xiancheng.
She County is the capital county of Huizhou, so the county and the main book are readily available. However, in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, these wingmen still had a place to exert their abilities, but now they are like a radish and a pit, but they have no real power, not only them, but even the classic history is far less than the scenery of the past. Therefore, Fang Xiancheng, as a Chun'an person who was born as a prisoner, has been a county magistrate for more than two years in She County, but there is basically no benefit, and he and the old servant are at home, and his wife and children are guarding a few acres of land in Chun'an's hometown, not to mention the official authority, and there is not even a little meat to eat on the table, which is worse than the most inconspicuous bookstore in the first six rooms!
The county party and the main bookkeeper, that is, the official residences of the two miscellaneous officials of She County, are impressively located in the northwest corner of the most marginal place of the entire She County Yamen, and they are protruding buildings, all of which have only one courtyard. When Zhao Sicheng entered the house, he only felt that this place was even more shabby than his own house. In the past, he was the head of a house, and he looked down on the most unpromising official like the county Cheng, but this was the first time he came to the door after he became a secretary, because he was too late to do things today, he only brought a box of cakes, and when he saw the old servant taking the gift and going in, he knew that there must be a play today.
Therefore, he gave Fang Xiancheng a long bow for the first time, and when he sat down, he said with a smile on his face: "Since the county lord is sick, it stands to reason that he will be temporarily acting for a day or two, how can he be the second Yin, how can he let the scholar go on his behalf?" Jixi County is because the place is small, and there is no county and master book at all, so I have to let the county learn to teach Master Yang to act, and the county is confused! Fucheng and County are just a wall, if it really reaches Duan Fuzun's ears, what is it like? Eryin should stand up as a matter of course. ”
It was the first time that Fang Xiancheng heard this Eryin's honorific title in his mouth, and he was a little fluttery for a while. But he knows that his county is just good-looking, and he doesn't answer the phone like a Tai Chi. Zhao Sicheng knew that the other party didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, so he accompanied him for a while haha, and suddenly threw out a bait.
"Moreover, the appointment of the chief of the grain is the same as that of the chief of the lieutenant, which is a great event. When you meet the county honor, you have to make an offering as usual. Ye Xianzun's family is well-off, and he may not be able to see it, but it is also a lot of oil and water. Seeing that the expression on Fang Xiancheng's face gradually changed, but he still refused to let go, Zhao Sicheng had to come up with a killer idea, "Besides, how important is this summer tax, if the county is delayed because of this illness, after Er Yin runs forward and handles the matter, it may not be impossible to make an exception." ”
Fang County Cheng Deng was excited, stared at Zhao Sicheng incredulously, and said in a dry voice for a long time: "Don't lie to me, how can Da Ming have such a rule!" ”
Zhao Sicheng knew that Fang Xiancheng was born as a prisoner, so he laughed dryly and said meaningfully: "Sometimes rules are used to break!" Besides, Er Yin's term is almost over, right? It's a big deal to return to your hometown at the end of your term, as long as you don't have empty hands, your wife and children at home can be happier, right? On the contrary, wouldn't it be a great joy if we could really go further? I think Er Yin also knows that I am not alone. ”
Fang Xiancheng knew that there was someone behind Zhao Sicheng, his face kept changing, and after a long while, he took a deep breath, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll try, Master Feng, then I'll say, as long as he gives up, I'll do it!" ”
Sure enough, Fang Xiancheng personally went to the Shexian School Palace, and when he came back, he brought the news that Master Feng claimed that he didn't understand practice and didn't dare to act as the county order. At this moment, Zhao Sicheng was relieved, and encouraged the other officials in the sixth room to make a fuss for a while, and soon there was a response from the county magistrate - Ye Xianzun compromised and handed it over to Fang County to temporarily sign the county order!
At this moment, Zhao Sicheng was completely relieved, and he happily drank a little wine in the office that night. Even if Ye Junyao is not there, as long as the 5,000 taels of apportionment of public funds are finalized in the morning hall tomorrow, the overall situation will be decided!
PS: It's later, and the number of words is less, I'm sorry, I'll make up for everyone tomorrow-
