Chapter Seventy-One: I hope the master is self-respecting!
It's getting dark, what else is there to worry about in Chen Zhixian? However, now Chen Zhixian is the person who can decide Li You's fate the most, and even the envoy who temporarily acts as the Xishui Inspection Department is only effective if Chen Zhixian signs it. He still dared to disobey others, but only Chen Zhixian's words did not dare to disobey.
What's more, Chen Zhixian still has that unknown big backer, think about how he talked to Li You before? directly said "If it is time for the official to be promoted...", this is the most inadvertent exposure of confidence.
It seems that he can't eat the banquet of the tax bureau tonight, Li You instructed the chief to follow Zhang Sandao: "You go to Lord Zhang to apologize on my behalf, and then go to the house to spread the word, saying that I was summoned by the county and will stay in the county tonight." β
After sleeping with a wood for three days and doing nothing, his heart was very excited, and he was even more excited and excited to take office today, so he took this opportunity to go to the county seat to find a concubine to vent his anger.
After giving the order, Li You walked to the gate of the yamen and was about to head towards the county seat.
But when he saw another chief rushing out with Li Si, he suddenly grabbed the gate, knelt on the ground and stopped Li You and said, "Master can't go!" β
What's crazy about this? Li You opened his mouth to scold.
But I heard that Li Si was very sad and angry, and grabbed the ground with his head and admonished bitterly: "The identity of the master is different from now on, and he must take a sedan chair when he goes out!" Otherwise, the lord will lose his dignity, and even the villain and I will be ashamed to meet people. I hope the old man is self-respecting! β
Li Inspector subconsciously patted his forehead, although he always reminded himself that he was an ancient man and lived in an ancient world, but sometimes he really couldn't integrate into the thinking of the ancients if he wasn't careful.
There are ready-made sedan chairs and sedan chairs in the inspection department, so follow the rules, and it is also an indispensable pomp to be an official, and if you don't have it, it will only attract jokes. Not to mention walking, even the two sedan chairs have to be looked down upon, and they have to carry the sedan chair four times to be qualified.
In fact, according to the system, military attachΓ©s are only allowed to ride horses and are not allowed to ride sedan chairs, let alone carry sedan chairs. But now it is stricter in the recruitment army, but no one in the local area takes it seriously, and Li You can't ride a horse at all.
There were stars in the sky, but there was no moonlight, so Li Patrol had to walk at night in brocade clothes. I saw two people shouting in front of them with lanterns to open the way, and four sedan chairs carrying a large bamboo sedan chair. The chief next to him followed Li Si at the same speed on foot, maintaining a posture close to the car window and always waiting for dispatches.
Being able to follow the sedan chair of the official master as an entourage made Li Si think that his career was very successful. Thinking too much, he regretted that his resume was not perfect, when Li You inherited the family business as a servant after Li's father retired, he couldn't bear to follow Li You and left without oil and water. Now I regret this very much, otherwise I wouldn't be the elder of the Li family and the two dynasties who started and finished well.
If Li's father saw this scenery that the Li family had not seen for more than ten generations, he would definitely go to the ancestral hall to burn a few more pillars of incense.
Unknowingly, when he arrived outside the county yamen, Li Inspector got off the sedan chair and bumped into an old acquaintance Master Huang who had returned from going out.
"Ah, the two legs have been changed to eight sedan chairs. I've seen Master Lee. Master Huang said.
Li You also saluted: "The old gentleman really likes to laugh, where is this, just call your real name." β
Master Huang said with a smile: "Displacement changes people, your name is only called by the county in this county." β
"Sir, but it's okay to call it." Li You said generously, and asked: "The county lord summoned me overnight, I don't know why?" β
Master Huang thought for a while and said, "There is nothing else to do today, but the temple of the Yellow Goddess Temple came in the afternoon, which may have something to do with it." β
Huang Shenpo is the industry god of silk weaving, this kind of temple is not a kind of god stick, often plays the role of the leader of the industry. Li You seems to have realized that this must be related to the local silk weaving industry, and he may be able to connect with his wanton arrest today.
In the past few decades, I don't know how to develop, the industry temple gradually has the impression of Li You's previous life in the appearance of the industry association, the industry temple deacons are mostly the bank's respected predecessors, analogous to the association's president, chairman, director, the temple of the incense can also be analogous to the association's dues.
This kind of industry immortal is not the same as the city god, Guan Gong, dragon king and other road goods immortals, although the believers are small but very professional, and the worship is absolutely indispensable. The more prosperous the industry, the more offerings the temple gets, and there is the shadow of the big family in the industry.
When Li You was a pawn in history, he could be arrogant enough to punch monks, kick the dragon king, and smash a few statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. But he will definitely not provoke some immortals who seem to be weak and violent, such as Huang Po God, Lu Ban Daxian, Du Kang Patriarch or something. Without him, these three grandparents are the gods worshiped by the three largest industries in the county, and ghosts and gods, such things as not believing in them are not spiritual, and they are not afraid of them, and they have to rely on human power to be terrifying.
A classic history can withstand the curse of hundreds of monks and Taoist temple blessings, but it can't bear the interest groups in the county that make tens of thousands to 100,000 silver every year, and they may not be able to withstand the inspection. Now is not the Hongwu period in the early days of the dynasty, when business people have to be people with their tails between their legs, no matter how big and huge they are. Although it is a world where civil officials and doctors are in power, rich and powerful are often said together, and all kinds of situations are very complicated and difficult to explain in one word.
The words were far away, but they said that Li You and Master Huang entered the back office together and said goodbye to each other. Master Huang returned to the side courtyard residence by himself, and Li You was led by Menzi to the Zhixian study.
Chen Zhixian was dressed in short casual clothes, sitting on the couch and flipping through a book, when he saw Li You, he nodded and said, "Sit by yourself." β
Li You didn't see any more, found a chair and sat down and asked, "What is the important matter for the county to urgently summon the lower officials?" β
Chen Zhixian inserted the bookmark, put down the scroll and said: "This afternoon, the temple of Huang Po Temple came to visit, and the Tao is willing to donate 5,000 taels of silver, and the county government will support it in whatever name." β
Li You sighed when he heard this: "They are really generous, there must be some problem to ask the county respect." "It is said that the government can't accept money for nothing, but there is no problem with finding the right name. It can be said that the merchants are enthusiastic about public welfare and donate money to entrust the government to repair bridges and roads; It can also be said that the government has effectively collected industrial and commercial taxes and increased its income by 5,000 taels, which is different from exploiting the peasants, and it is not a bad deed in terms of official reputation.
Chen Zhixian nodded and said: "Yes, I also talked about the fact that a large number of fucheng scoundrels ganged up in groups to dominate the market and forcibly collect raw silk in the Xishui Town market. β
Hearing this, Li You was overjoyed, could it be that this is the halo effect of the legendary protagonist? He had just done a good deed, and his boss came to ask about this, which was obviously a good time for him to ask for merit and reward. Maybe the five thousand taels of silver can reward yourself a little!
How could he let go of the opportunity, Inspector Li's tone suddenly changed, and he said passionately and powerfully: "Some small things, the county doesn't have to worry about them." Just this afternoon, the lower officials have caught all these bandits, and there is no need to worry about the occasional fish that slip through the net! Now the Xishui Market is peaceful, and all walks of life live and work in peace and contentment, all of which are reciting the county's kindness! However, the matter has not yet had time to be reported to the county government. β
As he spoke, Li You suddenly remembered his father-in-law, Old Man Liu, could it be that his old man deliberately released Hong Patrol to hunt pigeons, and there were similar factors? I can't help but admire, it's really spicy when Jiang is old, and he can actually think of this layer in advance.
Chen Zhixian was really as speculated, with an unusually surprised look on his face, which made Li You secretly refreshed, and asked in disbelief: "You have just arrived at the office, can you have such a big move?" The ancient officials can't do this, don't lie! β
Li You couldn't help but be proud in his heart, and said modestly: "It's true, the lower officials always remember the entrustment of the county, and don't dare to relax in the slightest." Today, when he arrives, he will investigate the people's situation, arrest and destroy evil spirits, and be sure to live up to the grace of the county's knowledge. Let's listen to the details of the lower official, and say..."
Chen Zhixian raised his hand to interrupt Li Youdao: "Don't arrest him, I'll let them all go soon." β
is a very light and fluttering sentence, but it is like a sword from God, and the dancing demon who is about to make waves is beaten back to its original form.
Li Patrol, who was obsessed with merit and bonuses, came to an abrupt end, thinking that he had misheard, and asked suspiciously when he came back to his senses: "Did the county lord say that he let it go?" β
Chen Zhixian said affirmatively: "It's all released." β
After receiving the confirmation, Li You's doubts increased instead of decreasing. Could it be that Chen Zhixian, who has always loved fame, has realized the great power of not being cheeky and raising self-respecting people to ask for money?
Fifty-six people are their own political achievements, how can they be thrown away for nothing! Li You was impulsive, so he got up and said bitterly: "The county lord! It is difficult to block the world's mouths with self-respect, and it is not advisable to steal! The county has lost face, and the lower officials are also ashamed to see people, hoping that the lord will be self-respecting! β

As an office worker, it is impossible to update quickly, and every time I die, more than 4,000 words are killed, and it is in vain to see the official urging. I don't think it's fun to watch it every day, so it's good to save a few days to watch it, and you don't have to see it every day.
