The flowers bloomed two and each showed a branch, and Shi Shenzheng was almost carried on the boat by his entourage, and he fled north in embarrassment. He sat in the cabin, rushed to the crown in anger, and said to the left and right: "I swear to get rid of this owl!" ”

In fact, Li You can't be blamed for this, he is still desperate to stop the people, but he will definitely be angry.

The two official ships finally docked at Hushu Pass in the northwest direction of Fucheng, which is one of the seven major tax customs of the canal, and the condition of the post house is acceptable.

Shi Shenzheng wrote a notebook and reported it to the court that night, but it was not as Li You imagined, and he went to sue Diao very tastelessly. The book does not mention the matter of being besieged and fleeing, but only talks about the great truth that there are local officials in Suzhou Mansion, and the eunuchs and small people are very easy to collude and lead to many drawbacks.

Although Lord Shi is upright, he is really not stupid, a character who can climb to the third grade in the system unharmed and still maintain his integrity must be very outstanding, even more terrible than the so-called "high emotional intelligence can be an official".

Back then, when Lord Shi went to a certain place to supervise something, he came up and pulled out two local officials who did not obey the command and cut them down, and the murderous anger made everyone frightened. When Lord Shi finished his errands and left, everyone found that the two little officials who should have been cut down appeared in front of them alive again... Shi Shenzheng knew that this kind of air-to-air scripts were not very lethal, and there were too many rumors and things in recent years, and the Imperial Court Department of General Affairs could receive hundreds of copies of various great truths every day. If you take it seriously, no one will be able to be an official.

So why didn't Shi Shenzheng report his experience truthfully?

Imagine, even if it is reported truthfully, the imperial court will not send a messenger for this trivial matter, and eighty percent of the case will be sent to the inspection department and patrol the road side by side with the sub-inspection road. But I heard that the family member of the division is an old boss who has a close relationship with Li Tuiguan... After that, Li Tuiguan can't guess what the ending will be, but Shi Shenzheng's recital will definitely add new talking points or new jokes to the officialdom of Beijing before and after dinner, and Lord Shi doesn't want to be such a trendy figure. Moreover, the story of the third-grade official being bullied by the seventh-rank official to the desert and fleeing will probably be written by a group of idle officials into the history of the fork and the fork, the fork notes, and the fork and the news, and the story of the officialdom will be passed on to future generations.

It is not necessary to kill a thousand enemies, but it must have lost eight hundred, and Lord Shi is not brainless, and this is not how revenge is avenged. He participates in politics with a three-grade character, and does he have to borrow the imperial court to clean up the seven-grade officials?

It's not right to say it's revenge, for Lord Shi, this is not personal revenge, but to get rid of evil for the country and the people.

However, he said that in the city of Suzhou, although Shi Shenzheng was beaten away due to a misunderstanding (unfortunately the people who couldn't figure out the system thought he was an official in Zhejiang), more than 20 boats of rice were left. Later, with the continuous inflow of rice grain from other places, the price of rice in Suzhou Prefecture showed a downward trend. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief from top to bottom, and this difficulty was finally overcome.

The situation has improved, and the new officials of the prefecture have also arrived. In two or three years, the new magistrate came, the new general judgment came, and the new Tongzhi also came. It's almost the time of the front and back feet, probably maybe maybe it's a coincidence.

As a result, Li Tuiguan's workload was greatly reduced, and the matters involving civil affairs, money and grain, and arrest and theft that were originally handled were handed over according to the instructions of the prefect Wang, leaving only two affairs.

One thing is a criminal case. The total number of cases in these counties in Suzhou Prefecture is very large, with a small number of counties reaching 1,000 cases a year, and a large number of counties reaching 2,000, but it is estimated that the number of major cases that need to be reported to the government for review is only a few hundred. In contrast, Li Tuiguan's judicial work is much easier than that of the county, and he does not have to dwell on trivial cases such as A owing B five cents and not paying it back, and C engaging in D's wife not compensating.

The second kind of business is the government government treasury. This name looks very unfamiliar, but its alias is probably known, and the so-called "small treasury" is also. What kind of surplus silver, fire consumption silver, fine silver and the like are all here, and most of them are paid by the county according to the rules of the rivers and lakes that meet half of the rivers and lakes.

The Ming court can be called unprecedentedly stingy, and the system is designed to treat the local government as a thief to prevent it, and will not leave much tax revenue for the local government. Of course, if there is a policy, there will be countermeasures, and without a small treasury, the local government will really not be able to survive, and all prefectures and counties will be like this, so it will be written into the express regulations.

The most important thing in the handover of the former and former magistrates is to sort out the number of small coffers, how much to take away, how much to keep, and whether there is a deficit must be bargained clearly.

Taken together, the above two things are called "the name of the punishment and the praise of the count", which has great power, light responsibility, and many benefits.

During these times, after the shortage of officials was filled (someone took the opportunity to install officials on a large scale), the operation of the government was on the right track, and Li Tuiguan's daily official work was to judge one or two cases, write a few comments (which could be written by the scribe), or someone else asked him to sign and issue a bill to pay the silver.

At this time, Li You should have spent his time at ease, and took his wife and concubine to Fucheng to live a life surnamed Fu. The shadow of Shi's participation in politics lingered in his heart, making him lack a sense of security, and the original plan to buy a home was postponed again. I really have no choice but to go back to my hometown to live again.

In other words, this Lord Shi shouldn't have escaped too far, why didn't he come back to take office after ten days?

is still the same sentence, the dignified Sanpin was almost beaten by the group, after all, it was a very humiliating thing, and it was sent to the door when it was hotly discussed in the streets and alleys.

So Hu Shi Shenzheng used the excuse of re-establishing the honor guard and supervising the grain transportation to temporarily stay in Hushuguan, and then went to Fucheng to take office when the limelight was small.

In the early morning of mid-March, the Suzhou government government routinely lined up the government. At this time, the big and small officials gathered together and lined up to listen to things, unlike last month, when there were only three or two kittens. The prefect Wang was very pleased with this scene, and announced a great news on the spot: "The beloved right political officer Su Songdao will arrive in the city tomorrow to take office!" ”

After hearing the good news (who dares to say that the arrival of the boss is a tragedy), 99 percent of the people in the lobby invariably went to observe Li Tuiguan, who was in the front row.

Li You has mixed feelings in his heart, he should come or come... He understood the reason why the prefect Wang announced the news, obviously to arrange the welcome and banquet.

Is he fit to be there for these things? If you really want to meet with that Shi Shenzheng rashly, you may have more troubles. Li You pondered for a moment and said to the prefect of the king: "Tell the Governor, the lower official is suddenly sick, please give a few leaves." ”

For Li You's mood, the prefect Wang understood it very well, and left Li You after he dispersed: "You don't have to be too anxious, although you participate in politics, after all, you are not directly in charge, there is still a layer in the middle, and Chen Xundao, who is in charge of supervising the impeachment, is your old boss." It's just that every year the official examination records of the government have to be reported to Shi Shenzheng, and this year's examination language is not easy to please. ”
