Chapter 148: The Masses Who Don't Know the Truth
The cao boat is a customized ship specially designed to transport grain to the two capitals, which is very suitable for traveling on the canal with shallow water depth, and is built, managed and used by the government. The rice transported by the more than 20 ships that Li You tried to pretend to confess was not from the grain merchants, and everything had to start with the newly appointed political officer.
It is said that this old man's surname is Shi Dan, the name is a lun, the word is omitted, the number is omitted, and he is an upright minister who is well-known in this dynasty. In the past, when he was the prefect, he got a nickname, and he was called the two winds too guarded. Why? That is, the wind is more powerful, and the wind festival, translated into the vernacular, means that this person is both capable of doing things and being frugal, which is compared to the kind of writer who belongs to the kind that can be said to be more than tens of thousands and can continue to be less eunuch for several years.
dared to be praised as upright by the people of the time, needless to say, he must have offended the powerful. At that time, the prefect of Shi Daren expired, and his political performance was good, so he should be promoted to participate in politics according to the convention. As a result, he was tossed and turned in the level relocation, and he was already ready to retire with an idle job in Nanjing, but last month he was appointed as the sub-guard of Susong Road.
From the side, it can also be shown that the court bigwigs are not fools, and they also know how to send someone who can really fight to the town in the face of chaos, not to mention that this person is in Nanjing, which is also close to Suzhou.
Lord Shi was ordered to act immediately. Compared with Li Tuiguan, who was forced out of the fist and embroidered leg acting school because of his status and ability, Shi Shenzheng still has a few real kung fu. He did not take office immediately, and on the one hand, he urgently asked the imperial court to send the rice from the Nanjing Hubu warehouse to Suzhou for relief, and on the other hand, he persuaded the Nanjing Hubu Shangshu to supervise the loading of the ship first.
Some people may ask, there are also a lot of officials and sergeants in Nanjing, and they don't eat? It's very simple, the excess warehouse rice from the Huguang provinces can be levied to Nanjing. Whether it is the distance from Nanjing to Suzhou or Huguang to Nanjing, it saves half the time than directly transporting Huguang Cang rice to Suzhou.
The more than 20 ships that Li Tuiguan was lucky (or unlucky) to encounter were the first batch of Nanjing Hubu Cang rice that Shi Shenzheng came to Suzhou to supervise by the way. Shi Shenzheng was worried that after playing his official card, he would fall into socializing along the way, which would delay his arrival in Suzhou, so he quietly went south. Unexpectedly, there were still a few local officials with great powers who took the initiative to come to the door... The grain merchant who received Li You was actually just a fake seat for Shi Shenzheng. In these years, many businessmen were fond of vassal elegance and dressed as scholars and Confucian merchants, so they did not doubt that master Li You. The negotiations went smoothly, and then the officials knew that a human tragedy had happened.
It is not without doubts, why can the grain merchant's rice be transported by boat? If it was really Huguang rice, why was it a few years earlier than expected? It's a pity that they were all ignored by Li Tuiguan, and he only thought that it was a grain merchant who was pretending to be public and private. Bumping headlong into the right-hand political officials is really to blame, and I can't blame others. This is a living example of what it means to be dizzy.
To say that Shi Shenzheng will be angry on the spot because Li You stole the limelight, it is really to spend the belly of an adult with the heart of a small people, similar to guessing that the emperor used a golden axe to chop wood.
Does Shi need to be in the limelight in front of the people? Not to mention Shi participating in politics, he doesn't even need Chen Xundao. Besides, the foolish people here may not be able to figure out the situation, but the well-informed local gentry can't tell the difference?
Therefore, Shi Shenzheng did not bother to compete with Li You here. As a third-grade official who has detached himself from low-level interests, and as an official who is a big member of the front step, the popularity of the people can be an embellishment but not a necessity, and it is really dispensable to say that it is ugly.
You may have heard that a certain county has been rewarded and promoted by the people for its great achievements, but what about going up? Has anyone ever heard of a squire who was promoted to Shangshu because of popular popularity? Which one participated in politics because he was appointed as a governor because of popular popularity? Which Shangshu entered the cabinet because of popular popularity?
The purpose of pro-people officials is to appeal to the people, to enhance their appeal is to make political achievements, and to improve their political achievements is to evaluate and promote officials. But for the upgrade game at this level, the maximum amount of experience brushed to the prefect will be capped. If you want to go up, how to brush the experience points is basically zero, and what you need at this time is for the game company to open the cap limit for you.
The words are far away, the camera pulls back to the canal outside Suzhou Mansion at this moment, the full honor guard of political participation is displayed, and Shi Dashen (another name for participating in politics) hugged the boat and drew the attention of the people on the shore.
Li You suddenly sobered up from the numbness, and the top priority was to save himself, so he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him: "Li You, the official of the Suzhou Mansion, has seen the boss, and there have been many rudeness along the way, and he deserves death!" ”
When Shi Shenzheng saw Li You coming, his heartfelt disgust came to his heart. He instructed his staff to hide from Li You and let Li You do it, just to see what Li You could do, and catch him with a cat-and-mouse mentality.
At present, he has already commented on Li You - a villain who has no talent and no virtue, is opportunistic, and invites fame and fortune, which is the kind he hates the most.
And no matter who it is, even if he doesn't seek fame for doing good deeds, he won't be willing to ask others to take it personally, let alone a person who makes Shi participate in politics disgusting.
I didn't want to attack you here, but you still dared to send it to the door shamelessly, and the official didn't need to be polite, Shi Shenzheng said secretly in his heart. immediately reprimanded: "You rebellious villain, you eat the king, you don't think about sharing the worries of the court, you dare to incite the people and make trouble here." Under the bright future, what face do you have as a local official! ”
Li You defended himself: "There are many misunderstandings in them, and the lower officials definitely don't mean this..."
"Shut up!" Shi Shenzheng interrupted Li You, "This official has seen it with his own eyes, and he dares to quibble, it's unbearable!" In this year of calamity, you should be maintaining the situation in the city to comfort the people, but you are out and about to cheat! This official will never allow you to be a corpse vegetarian, you are waiting to be impeached! ”
The first time Li You saw such an upright official, he couldn't hold back the face of being scolded by Shi Shenzheng in person, and he was very angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to talk back. First, the person is the boss, the boss who holds the power of assessment; Second, the food was indeed brought by others, and he tried to make a big mistake by pretending to admit it.
Li You didn't dare to resist, but the crowd of onlookers next to him was dissatisfied.
Suzhou Mansion is the place with the largest number of citizens in the world, and the two things that he likes to do the most are to fight lawsuits and gather people to make trouble, so some officials often feel that there are a lot of people in Wudi, and it is not easy for officials to do. I think that back then, the citizens of Suzhou did not do less things like besieging the governor. In the words of the 21st century, this is an awakening of the consciousness of citizens' rights.
At this time, the surrounding people saw that Master Li was scolded for being bloody, and they made a fuss one by one.
Who is Lord Li, who is his own native in Hongxiang, not only an idol genius who has written a lot of excellent poems, but also an official who is willing to work tirelessly for the people. Now he was scolded by a faint official who didn't know where he came from, and dared to threaten to remove Master Li, which was unbearable.
Someone in the crowd shouted: "Where did the bastard official come from, dare to spread wild on the ground of my Suzhou!" ”
There are also people who don't understand the official system and say: "Is Zhejiang's political participation very powerful?" Dare to take care of Suzhou's affairs, your hands are too long! ”
"The old man dares to insult Lord Li, and regards me as a righteous man in Suzhou!"
"The old thief who killed a thousand knives died early and was born early!"
Shi Shenzheng never imagined such a situation. Since he became an official, he has boasted of being fair and honest, has an outstanding political reputation, and his subordinates are all sincerely convinced, and he has never had this experience of being surrounded and scolded by others. Thinking that he had worked hard to escort 10,000 stone of rice grain from Nanjing to Suzhou for emergency relief, but he was treated like this by the people when he got off the boat, his aggrieved eyes turned black, his chest was stuffy, and he almost vomited blood.
And Li Tuiguan was so frightened that his face turned green, and he almost wanted to cry without tears, what is this called? Originally, I was scolding a few words, but I went back and waited for the old man to lose his breath, and then I tried to turn around. Who would have thought that the people around him had too much sense of justice, and they actually fought for him and made such a drama, how would this end.
