In Jiang Long's previous life, the government office building was always very magnificent, and the Chinese people paid attention to their faces, and built the government building tall and beautiful, indicating that I was rich and not poor, and I could come to invest here.

How can you take care of the business of your relatives and friends if you don't spend a little more money?

Relatives, friends, and businessmen can't make money, so naturally they won't give officials any benefits.

However, in the history of China, there was also a dynasty that did not care about face, and all the buildings of the yamen were about to collapse and the courtyard walls were about to fall, but the officials did not dare to repair them.

That was the Ming Dynasty, especially during the Hongwu period.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a civilian, and his hometown encountered a natural disaster, because the officials embezzled the relief of food, so his parents and brothers starved to death in front of him one by one, so he became a monk and became a monk along the street, which was no different from a beggar.

It is precisely because of his personal experience that he attaches great importance to hating official corruption.

The most severe anti-corruption decree was promulgated, embezzling more than 60 taels of silver, and immediately beheaded! Later, the conditions for embezzling silver were lowered.

Jianglong rebuilt Lingtong County, this county government is naturally among them, after the reconstruction, the county government gate is very wide, tall and majestic, which represents the majesty of the imperial court, so that the prisoners see it at a glance, they are afraid, and the trial hall is solemn.

The courtyard at the back is no longer decorated.

The overall style is atmospheric and bright, neat and generous.

Every day, there are servants who clean up in front of the yamen and sweep the cement pavement in front of the door.

Qian Dai got out of the carriage and saw the gate of the new county ya, and then looked around and couldn't help nodding, this county government is really good. The middle-aged scribe was amazed in his eyes, although the county government didn't bother to decorate, but the county government wanted such a simple and clear style.

"Lord Yu, Lord Qian, a member of the Ministry of Labor, asks to see you."

"Please come in."

Jiang Long had already gotten the news, and he was not surprised.

Steward He struggled hard, turned his head to look at the back, the two servants increased their strength in their hands, and kicked a few times in secret, Steward He couldn't bear the pain, and he was honest again.

"Lord Jing!" Qian was wearing a brocade robe, with one hand behind his back, walking calmly, and slowly walked into the lobby from the main entrance with a steady pace, without glancing at Steward He from the corner of his eye, he smiled straight at Jiang Long above: "Although you and I are both from the capital, we have not been fortunate to meet until today." ”

"Lord Qian, please bear with me, at this moment in the lobby, business matters." Jiang Long stood up, but he arched his hand at Qian Dai from afar, and then sat back again, "Lord Qian came over at this time, presumably because of the fact that the housekeeper was riding a horse and hitting people, right?" ”

Qian Dai looked stunned, and then stared at Jiang Long's eyes flashing, "Exactly." ”

Then he continued to ask, "I don't know how Lord Daojing wants to punish Steward He?" ”

"It's not how the official wants to punish him, it's that the county government has laws." Jiang Long made corrections.

"The laws formulated by Lingtong County are not decided by Lord Jing?" Qian Dai snorted coldly.

Jiang Long no longer explained, "Steward He bumped into two pedestrians, an old man and a child, although the injuries of the old man and the child were not serious, but they were suddenly frightened and have not come to their senses until now, according to the laws of the county government, they will be fined ten taels of silver." ”

Ten taels?

Steward He, who was kneeling on the ground, was furious, and their entire team of more than 300 people ate and stayed at the post station for one night, but it only cost more than three taels of silver, and they only injured two pedestrians, so they were fined ten taels of silver? In fact, in his eyes, the lives of the old and the young are not worth five taels of silver!

If this is in the capital, not to mention just being injured, it is killing a few ordinary people, who would dare to find the Qian Mansion for justice?

"What else?" Qian Dai looked indifferent and calm.

"Put on shackles and parade through the streets, and then join the patrol team to help maintain traffic order and law and order, for a time limit of seven days."

Hearing this, Steward He's face turned red with anger, in addition to the fine silver, he actually had to put on shackles and parade on the street? If he is really punished like this, then where will he still have the face to appear on the streets of Lingtong County in the future? If someone throws some rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, then he might as well find a crack in the ground and get in.

As for joining the patrol, it is even more impossible, he came to Lingtong County to serve Qian Dai, and he must take care of all the chores around Qian Dai in an orderly manner, and not let Qian Dai worry about it.

"If you admit punishment with silver, you can also parade in the streets."

Qian Dai said in a consultative tone at this time: "But is it okay to join the patrol team and maintain traffic order and law and order?" ”

"How can you be accommodating?" Jiang Long glanced at Steward He, who showed a look of surprise, and asked rhetorically.

"This time, the official came all the way from the capital to Lingtong County to be an assistant to Lord Jing, and there were a lot of slaves and subordinates, and he needed to be strictly controlled by Steward He's side.

Qian Dai's tone was slow and clear, "It's better to be like this, the official can spend money to hire someone to replace Steward Qian to join the patrol team to help with things." ”

"Spend money to hire, it's better to send two other guards to replace you." Jiang Long chuckled.

"It's fine."

Qian Dai hesitated for a moment, nodded in response, and then arched his hand: "This official has just moved out of the post station, and is about to go to the rented accommodation, there are still many things to arrange, plus I am very tired all the way, and I will come to the county government tomorrow to report, I don't know what Lord Jing wants?" ”

"Lord Qian can rest for a few more days." Jiang Long stood up and sent him off, "For example, today's excavation of artificial rivers and improvement of farmland in the cold ground have been temporarily stopped, and even if Lord Qian comes to the county office, there is basically nothing to do." ”

"How so?" Qian Dai shook his head, "Now that the project is suspended, the official can just look through the information of the previous project excavation, understand the progress of digging the river, whether there are any difficulties, etc., and have the bottom in his heart, and the assistant Jing Daren who can be better in the spring next year." ”

"Yes."

Jiang Long walked down and walked out of the county gate side by side with Qian Dai, and neither of them glanced at Steward He, who had an anxious look on his face.

After sending money and putting it in the carriage, Jiang Long stopped.

Bi Suo walked over at this time, followed by two guards, "Lord Jing, these two will replace Steward He to go to the patrol." Speaking of this, he lowered his voice, "I don't know if the housekeeper who is escorted by Lu Dao can also be accommodating?" ”

"How can you be accommodating?" Jiang Long's expression was unpredictable.

Pisso's face showed joy, "You can send another person to take it." Of course, the benefits of Lord Jing are indispensable, fifty taels of silver! ”

"Fifty taels?" Jiang Long suddenly laughed, "What a large sum, fifty taels of silver is enough for a family of ten ordinary people to spend for several lifetimes!" ”

Seeing Jiang Long say it with a smile, Piso knew that it was not good.

Sure enough, Jiang Long stared at Piso's eyes tightly at this time, and asked coldly, "Why didn't Lord Qian accommodate this matter with this official?" ”

"This, this ......" Piso stammered.

"Lord Qian is not accommodating with this official, you are a lowly servant, what qualifications do you have to be accommodating with this official?" Jiang Long suddenly stepped forward and asked.

Forced by the momentum that erupted from Jiang Long's body, Pi Suo couldn't help but retreat, his face turned pale and became bloodless.

When Jiang Long talked to Qian Dai before, his voice was gentle and he seemed to be very good at talking, which made Pisso think that Jiang Long was good-tempered, but he didn't want Jiang Long to suddenly turn his face.

In the carriage, Qian Dai's eyes were slightly closed, and he couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the voice.

Then there was a soft sigh.

The middle-aged scribe had already gotten into the car, and he also shook his head for a while, he was at a disadvantage before, and the son's response was already perfect, but he didn't want Pi Suo to be at the back, but he made his own opinion, so that Jiang Long seized the opportunity and showed his strength.

If you are really not afraid of god-like opponents, you are afraid of pig-like teammates.

It's a pity that Qian Dai and the middle-aged scribe didn't know that there was such a sentence in Lu Dao.

After sighing lightly, Qian Dai's eyes suddenly opened, and in his pupils, a cold light flickered, and his face was not so easy to beat!

When the middle-aged scribe saw it, he lowered his head, and he knew that his son would immediately fight back.

The coachman waved his whip, and the Qian family's convoy slowly moved away.

At this time, the two officials walked out of the gate of the county government with the disheveled and unkempt housekeeper He, who was tied up, looked unusually embarrassed, his face was red, and he thought that he was quite famous in the capital, but he didn't want to lose face in Lingtong County.

If this is passed back, he will have no face!

In the shame and indignation, he is also resentful, this revenge will not be avenged, and he will not be a man!

The two guards left behind by Pisso were taken to the patrol by a public servant. It was winter, and the weather was unusually cold, so joining the patrol was not a good task. If you don't wear it thick and warm enough, you will definitely get frostbite.

Back at the county office, Cheng Ze and Xiao Fan were sitting.

"What do the two gentlemen think of this son of the Qian family?" Jiang Long asked with a chuckle.

Xiao Fan shook his head, "It doesn't match the reputation that is passed down in the capital, but I just met once, and I can't see through it." ”

Cheng Ze wanted to speak and stopped.

Jiang Long asked again, but Cheng Ze just smiled and waved his hand, looking unfathomable.

It wasn't until after Jiang Long left that Xiao Fan asked, and Cheng Ze said coldly: "That's a wolf!" ”

Wolf?

Cruel, cunning!

Xiao Fan knew that Cheng Ze's knowledge of people was accurate, and he couldn't help but be surprised, this evaluation was already not low, "Then why don't you remind me and let the young master be careful." ”

"For the time being, he doesn't dare to do anything with the young master." Cheng Ze replied.

But it's hard for others to say...... Cheng Ze didn't say this.

When someone asked, the two servants who escorted Steward He would answer the reason loudly, and I heard that someone was riding a horse and hitting someone, and the people were talking, and some people guessed whether Steward He had encountered porcelain.

Regarding the occurrence of porcelain in Lingtong County, Jiang Long did not make great efforts to rectify it. In fact, if you want to rectify, this is in ancient times, everything is decided by Jiang Long, it is very simple. There is no need to pay attention to human rights equality or anything.

The reason why I don't care about it is that I want outsiders to be careful, and don't think that you can be superior to others because of a bit of identity background.

Those scoundrels who touch porcelain are not stupid, and they are naturally looking for the kind of fat sheep who come to Lingtong County for the first time, so they have not caused much harm so far.
