Chapter 60 False Public Welfare and Private Interests
After arranging the old and weak women and children properly, the village chief and the old father took Li Jin's family to Li Mula's home for dinner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the village chief's daughter-in-law saw Li Jin coming, it was like seeing her own son come back, she couldn't close her mouth happily, and without saying a few words, she ran to the kitchen to prepare a delicious meal for Li Jin.
Chen Chuchu, who regarded herself as Li Jin's wife, was naturally well-behaved and sensible, and followed her to the kitchen.
"Dad, there have been quite a lot of changes in our camp this time, especially the surrounding city walls, which are about to catch up with a military fortress."
"Hey...... Young master, there's no way around it......"
Listening to the village chief's father's explanation, it turned out that the matter of planting Yunlongzhai was known to others, and they came to the door to take revenge.
Previously, due to the rampant bandits near Yishui County, the imperial court sent troops to suppress them, and the bandits' dens everywhere received a lot of blows, and they were basically scattered.
Although Yunlongzhai has also suffered a lot of heavy losses, the core forces have been preserved, and this group of people has risen up again after the imperial court has withdrawn and re-established the mountain.
In this way, Yunlongzhai has become a beacon for the bandits and bandits in Yishui County, and the stragglers who were originally scattered have taken refuge in Yunlongzhai, resulting in more people gathering in Yunlongzhai than before the bandits.
The people were eager for revenge, and they came to burn and loot three times and twice, although they barely repelled the strong enemy under Li Mu's precise command, but the casualties in the camp were not small.
In desperation, everyone obeyed Li Mu's arrangement and rushed to repair the fortifications day and night, which temporarily put an end to the momentum of Yunlongzhai's strong attack.
As soon as the village chief's father finished explaining, Li Jin immediately slapped the table angrily.
"The one who dares to touch the master, this hatred...... I'll have to repay it. ”
At the same time, he also handed Li Mu a grateful look.
That night, Li Jin drank a lot of wine with the village chief's father, and while the wine was strong, Li Jin told him about being the Yishui County Order, and the village chief's father slapped the table excitedly, and said yes with a handful of snot and tears.
Because he brought a group of old and weak women and children on the way here, he was delayed for a few days longer than expected, so Li Jin entrusted the camp early the next morning, and set off with a group of people to Yishui County.
Fortunately, the Flying Eagle camp was not far from the county seat, and the group quickly arrived at the destination on fast horses.
Looking at the dilapidated county town that had been ruined by banditry, Li Jin groaned in pain.
The walls made of stone and wood have long since been exposed to the sun and rain for many years, and they have long since rotted and collapsed everywhere, not to mention thieves, not even animals.
Looking at the houses of the residents in the city, there can only be one word to describe - miserable!
Of course, there are also more than a dozen large mansions, and at a glance you can see that they are rich local owners.
Grandma is a bear, what's going on? Lao Tzu wasn't like this last time he came, and this group of robbers is too capable of harm, hmph, both public and private must get rid of this group of pests!
The potholed streets are lined with a dazzling array of goods and goods, and people dressed in various tribal costumes are constantly flowing, shouting and bargaining, but it is also quite lively.
The group walked on the street, attracting people's attention, and Chen Chuchu's beautiful appearance attracted countless pairs of eyes to fall out.
After passing through a few dilapidated streets, I finally came to the county office.
The red paint of the gate of the county government had peeled off most of it, the copper nails were rusty, the wall had collapsed in a few places, and a wild dog ran in, soaked urine in the weeds, and swaggered away.
The original county magistrate had already made enough money to flash people, and there was only one teacher in the yamen who was old enough to retire, and the three gangsters came out to greet him.
Before his feet stepped into the gate of the county government, the drums set up outside were already rattling.
Li Jin turned around and looked at it, and couldn't help but be startled.
Behind him, at some point, a large group of people gathered in the black press, all kneeling on the ground, holding up the complaint with both hands, and shouting that they were wronged.
Damn, Lao Tzu hasn't entered the county government yet, and he hasn't even drunk a sip of tea, so many people have come to sue?
Trial, my mother, isn't this asking for Lao Tzu's life......
The three catchers shouted loudly and waved big sticks, and they were about to drive people away.
Tuk tuk!
Three muffled sounds, the green clothes were fast, three darts flew out, and the water and fire sticks in the three fast catchers were all shot away, and they fell to the ground.
"What is the sin of the people to redress their grievances?"
Under the sun's rays, the darts glittered and became more and more cold.
The three of them were in a cold sweat, their faces were as white as paper, and their calves were twitching.
If the dart pierced a person just now, wouldn't there be an extra blood hole in his body?
Li Jin shook his head at Su Yuyang.
Su Yuyang stepped forward, "Fellow villagers, the county commander has just arrived, and he hasn't ...... yet."
Before he finished his words, the people kneeling on the ground had already shouted in unison, "My lord, I am wronged, I beg Lord Qingtian to judge the case, and wait for me to be innocent." ”
They kept kowtowing and shouting grievances, with a determination to kneel down if they didn't accept the complaint.
When encountering this kind of thing, it is really a headache, Su Yuyang turned his head to look at Li Jin.
Li Jin shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands - you said that you followed me to make suggestions, then you are now a dog-headed military advisor, and of course you are responsible for using your brains!
He scratched his head, Lao Tzu has become the master of Qingtian?
Don't look at Su Yuyang's martial arts, but after getting along for the past few days, I found that this kid is not only good at writing, but also a must for strategic strategy.
At the beginning, Chen Chuchu said that he should guard against him, and don't let him know some core details first.
However, since he joined this group, he has been honest and responsible, and he is really wholeheartedly for the benefit of the group, and he should sincerely take refuge.
Oh, whatever, there will be time in the future, just find a chance to test him.
Now there are such a bunch of trivial things, and there are talents in this area around me, so there is no need to use them in vain.
In Li Jin's words, this calls people to make the best use of their talents and materials.
The sound of the Qingtian Lord made Li Jin's whole body flutter, as if he had really become Bao Qingtian who was praised by future generations. Just to the Qingtian Lord who was full of hope, how to give these people an explanation.
He had all the pleadings received, and when he had finished the trial, he would issue a public notice for a public trial, promising that all the prisoners in the prison would not be tortured again until the trial was made.
All the complainants kowtowed again and knelt down to thank Lord Qingtian, and then left with joy.
Looking at the thick stack of paper, everyone smiled bitterly, the previous county master actually made so many unjust, false and wrongful cases? If that's the case, it's not the only thing to do!
Su Yuyang groaned in pain, he is the so-called military advisor, and it is his job to use his brain, so many papers, don't you want to understand his fate?
Although this county is dirty and messy, this is after all a place for office life in the future, and it may have to stay for a while.
There was no way, there were not enough people, everyone had to roll up their sleeves and start cleaning.
Just tidying up the room and cleaning the courtyard had to be cleaned up, and the original subordinates, because the county government had no money to pay, also left when the county magistrate flashed.
When the master handed over the various account book data, Li Jin saw that the county inventory was only eight taels of silver, so angry that he vomited blood, and greeted the previous ancestor N generation dozens of times.
The financial figure of a county is only eight taels of silver, and the sun is his mother's, this is a complete mess, but he is responsible for it?
However, thinking of the promise of the great beauty of Chu Chu to save the poor people in the world, thinking about the hatred with Yunlongzhai, it is better to continue to endure it!
When he first arrived, he was unfamiliar with the place, so Su Yuyang humbly asked the teacher for advice, and tried his best to understand the various human feelings and sophistication here.
The master is so old that his beard is gray, his speech is leaky, and he has some problems with his ears, and sooner or later the boss will open him and take him by himself.
Su Yuyang heard Liu Shiqing always following Li Jin behind the boss shouting, so in order not to give birth, he quickly integrated, and also called the boss.
This night, Li Jin couldn't sleep, and he wanted to take a look at the mountains of official documents, so Mo Yan accompanied him to read them.
Such a mess is really fatal to provoke.
The city wall needs to be rebuilt, the streets need to be renovated, and many of the houses of the residents in the city are already dangerous, and his county government must also be repaired, which will cost a large amount of money, but the county has only eight taels of silver in stock, what should I do?
Headache, very headache!
As soon as the day dawned, the local Haokun came to visit, bringing a lot of gifts, and some were even more simple, bringing white flowers and silver.
It's really sleepy, someone will hand you pillows, and when you're hungry, someone will send dry food.
There is a shortage of money in his hand, Li Jin is not polite at all, he accepts all the orders, and the Haokun people are also smiling happily, as long as you accept the gift, you will be your own person in the future, the so-called soft hands of taking people, soft mouths of eating people, hehe, another big corrupt official!
Li Jin already had an idea in his heart, and personally sent these gentry out with a smile.
Su Yuyang ate and chuckled, "Boss, are you the idea to beat these guys?" ”
Li Jin laughed, "The reconstruction of the city wall depends on these guys, you give me a way to squeeze them!" ”
Su Yuyang's eyes rolled, and he smiled to himself: "Don't worry, boss, I promise to satisfy you, but those gifts have to be confiscated and put into storage." ”
Li Jin rolled his eyes - Damn, this bit of silver, will Lao Tzu see it in his eyes? This place is so poor, if you eat the common people's food, you will be struck by lightning!
Su Yuyang smiled knowingly - the small ones don't eat, they eat the big ones if they want to, and the kind that makes them rich when they bite them, this is a smart person.
The trial of the case is a matter of urgency, but the reconstruction of the county seat, the revitalization of the economy, and the maintenance of law and order are even more urgent tasks at the moment.
There is also a group of bandits and robbers who eat people and don't spit out bones outside, and if you don't clean up this mess quickly, something big may happen.
Hey, anyway, I can't think of any good way to sit here, so it's better to call Su Yuyang and Liu Shiqing to walk around the street, and appreciate the local customs by the way.
A group of Shi Shiran walked on the potholed street and walked around.
Today is the market day, the streets are full of dazzling goods, there are more pedestrians on the street, most of them are rushing to the market, buying necessary daily necessities, and some tribesmen exchange animal skins for goods and commodities.
Damn, this economy looks quite prosperous, why is it dilapidated?
Li Jin wondered in his heart.
