Liang Yuxi went to the study, and the master book was also waiting here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He stepped forward and said, "My lord, this draft matter, the little one will report it to you." ”

Liang Yuxi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I have something to ask you about the master bookkeeper." Then he motioned for the master to sit down and for the tea to be seen.

The master book was a little flattered, and after sitting down crampedly, he waited for Liang Yuxi to ask.

"Master Ling, I know that you have been walking in the county government for many years, and you know the population, money and grain, landscapes, and villages of Qinghe County well. It is also the left arm and right arm of the original Hu Daosheng. Now, I still keep you in Yamen, and I also like that you are familiar with Qinghe County and have some talents. I don't know if you're under my own officer, is this okay? ”

When the chief bookkeeper heard that he was Hu Daosheng's left and right arms, he was still playing the drum in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotionally when he heard and praised him for some talent. He said: "I am dissatisfied with Lord Liang, my time under Hu Daosheng is not short, but I am deeply touched by the errand with Lord Liang. Lord Liang's far-sightedness and demeanor in doing things for the people are very admirable. That Hu Daosheng is just for his own promotion and fortune, and he has done a lot of dirty things. But Lord Liang is different, he acts above board and upright......"

Liang Yuxi knew that his flattering words were indispensable, so he raised his hand to stop: "This is for the people, of course, it is harder than doing things for yourself, and I also hope to keep this truth in mind." You've been working very hard lately, and the official is also seeing it. ”

Ling Shushu was grateful and humble: "It is all what should be done, what should be done." ”

"I know that after the announcement of this draft, I am afraid that there will be few applicants. I want you to calculate for me, how much is it more appropriate for each rich man in Qinghe County to donate some ex-gratia funds for the county government draft? ”

"I understand what my lord means, this matter of donation, without the imperial court's tax edict, is not easy to do, can only be a small donation."

"In that case, you draw up a proclamation saying that all merchants who are qualified for the draft but are unwilling to participate in the draft will donate the amount of tax to fund the portal of the voluntary draft. As for who should donate how much, you can calculate it, and you can just do it appropriately, and you can't waste money and money. ”

The master also understood what he meant, and even said that it was good.

"There is one more thing, which class of the county government is this Song Debao? I heard that he is the son-in-law of the county lieutenant of Qin? ”

"Oh, this Song Zhisi was originally in charge of the household, and it is true that he is the son-in-law of the Qin County Lieutenant, but he often fools people outside in the name of the Qin County Lieutenant. Lieutenant Qin used to reprimand him often. In recent days, he suddenly handed in his resignation and left. As for why, it is not clear. ”

"Well, okay, you go get busy with yours first."

Shortly after the master book left, Ma Degui came in.

Ma Degui still gave a salute and said, "Lord Liang......"

Liang Yuxi immediately stopped him, "Uncle Ma, you and I have known each other for many years, so I have avoided these redundant courtesies." In private, you still call me Jade to like more, otherwise I won't feel comfortable. ”

"Then how can it be done, you are now the honor of a county, if you don't have some necessary etiquette, you can't order in front of people."

The two politely exchanged words for a while, and Ma Degui told Liang Yuxi that the two of them, Niankong Daoist and Li Ju'er, who were in the East Prison Temple, had not had any contact in recent days. Both of them are well-behaved, not like they have anything to do in private.

Ma Degui said: "Perhaps, the rumors from the outside world are wrong, there is nothing between Li Ju'er and Niankong. ”

Liang Yuxi: "I'll be staring at it for a while, after all, this treasure box has just been lost, if they were a little more cautious, they wouldn't show up to contact them." Also, how is Donglu Fushang doing? ”

"Everything else in the house is fine, Master Donglu is still very sick, and the eldest lady and the young lady are busy taking care of the shops in the house. As soon as the county border was closed, it was said that half of the shops in the house would be closed, because there were no merchants who came and went, so they had to be closed. The eldest lady was also very anxious. ”

Liang Yuxi frowned, knowing that the situation would become more and more severe. If half of the shops in the city are closed, panic will surely come. It is necessary to divert some people to the countryside, after all, Qinghe County is a land of fish and rice, and self-sufficiency is not a problem.

After Ma Degui left, Liang Yuxi felt that he had to think of a good way to combine the draft with the affairs of the merchants in order to temporarily stabilize the situation. If stability is not possible in the short term, the likelihood of deterioration increases.

Just as he was spinning around, a nice female voice said, "Lord Liang, why is it in such a hurry?" As soon as he looked up, he saw Zhao Kuangyin, Mrs. Hua Rui, and Wang Renzhan arriving in the back hall.

He was busy kneeling down to perform the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and Zhao Kuangyin signaled that he didn't have to be polite, so as not to be bumped into by anyone.

After Liang Yuxi invited the group to take a seat, he asked, "Why did Zeng's mother and a few others come?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Don't call it Zeng's mother, just call Mrs." You can call me Zhao Ye. ”

Mrs. Hua Rui smiled: "This kid, I used to call my mother well. ”

Liang Yuxi: "What does Zhao Ye have to say here?" ”

"I heard that you went to the ferry of the Northwest Official Road and met the minister?"

"Yes, and also asked the minister for a force of 5,000 men and horses, which will be stationed outside the country in case of emergency?" Liang Yuxi didn't expect this matter to be known so quickly.

Zhao Kuangyin nodded: "Well, this thing is good." I heard that you had a good conversation with Fu Yin, and he also returned to Beijing? ”

"Yes, Zhao Ye."

Wang Renzhan looked at the rare brisk expression of the saint, and secretly had an opinion of the kid in front of him that should not be underestimated.

Zhao Kuangyin said again: "But there is one thing you can't do well?" ”

"I don't know what's going on, Zhao Ye made it clear."

"You are holding a draft in the county, and my grandfather doesn't know about it, right? How can such a thing be done at this time? Zhao Kuangyin looked at Mrs. Hua Rui, as if she was doing something.

Mrs. Blossom said on the side: "Isn't this all a will, why can't it be drafted?" Today's saint is also in the prime of life, isn't it the time for the draft to show grace. Could it be that Zhao Ye still has any grievances? ”

Zhao Kuangyin: "I don't think this is the original intention of the saint, but Madam is a little anxious." ”

Madame Blossom: "Who knows if you're in a hurry." ”

Liang Yu was happy to see the two of them talking, "Master Zhao and Mrs., the first draft in the county is a holy decree, and the other is to have fun with the people in extraordinary times, so that the people will not pay attention to the danger they are in for the time being." Therefore, the draft is being prepared, but I still have to ask my wife about it at that time. ”

Lady Blossom: "Excuse me?" I don't know anything about the draft, Zhao Ye probably knows better. ”

Zhao Kuangyin didn't answer her words, "The draft has a court system, and the Liang County Order is handled accordingly." ”

Liang Yuxi couldn't cry or laugh a little, blaming himself for not knowing that these two people were rivals, and he had to wait until he visited Mrs. Hua Rui alone.

So several people stopped talking about the draft, and talked about the death case of the tea shop for a while. Liang Yuxi talked to Zhao Kuangyin and Mrs. Hua Rui, and also observed Wang Renzhan at the same time. I secretly wondered in my heart, the leader of this Wude Division must know that Wang Yuyu was healing in the yamen, why didn't he ask me for someone?
