Chapter 37: The Wanderer
"Miao Shibo, what's wrong with the county yali?" Liu Zhiran looked calm and asked casually as if chatting.
"Lord Bai is ready to let go and do a big job, not bad." Miao Wu touched his beard, lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Master Yuanshi, my lord has thought of a lot of new ways to govern Anning County, and he is also preparing to resettle the displaced people in the county. ”
"She is preparing to resettle the refugees left behind by the Western Turkic invasion of Gansu a few years ago?" Liu Zhiran was surprised.
You must know that the Western Turks attacked the pass back then, and the Western Turks attacked the pass all the way to the pass, and the momentum was like a bamboo.
Directly burned and looted the three county towns on the border, slaughtered them cleanly, and then fortunately, General Sang, who had retired at home in the year of Huajia, angrily went out of the mountains to re-put on the expedition, which turned the tide and drove the Western Turks out of the pass in one fell swoop.
But the city that has been broken no longer has the prosperous scene of the past; The ruined homes of the people could not go back.
By the time they reached the counties of Anning County, most of the refugees were already penniless, unable to move forward or survive on the spot, and the counties were unwilling to accept these refugees, who would only become a burden to the county.
They had no household registration and no money, so they had to wander around begging, and thus became homeless people who were disgusted in several counties.
"Several counties and even the entire northwest, everyone has a tacit understanding that they do not accept the homeless, so that no one is at fault, and no one has to be responsible, the homeless people themselves wander and beg for a few years, and they can't live, or go or die, and they will naturally disappear after a few years." Liu Zhiran immediately keenly found the root of this matter.
"That's right, the lord is really wise, and you can see the cattiness in this at a glance." Miao Wu praised in a low voice.
Liu Zhiran didn't care about Miao Wu's appreciation, and continued: "But it's a little inappropriate for Bai Luo to come out and accept these homeless people. ”
"I would like to hear about it." Miao Wu said respectfully.
He groaned and continued: "As soon as the displaced people see that someone accepts them, they will inevitably flock here, and so many people need to be resettled, which will put great pressure on the finances of the county government. ”
"Second, the officialdom in the northwest has reached a tacit understanding on this matter, Bai Luo rashly broke this tacit agreement and put other officials in an unkind and unjust place, I am afraid that from now on, she will leave a bad reputation in this area and even the entire northwest officialdom, and everyone will abandon her."
Miao Wu looked at Liu Zhiran with admiration.
It is really not by luck that this young master of the academy can get to where he is today.
The incisiveness of seeing things and the accuracy of analysis are far beyond ordinary people.
"Does he know the consequences?" Liu Zhiran asked, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
Although he has solved big cases and pulled down big officials, it is all in line with the trend, and even in the final result, there are actually a lot of unknown factional struggles and interests in it.
He investigated the corruption because the emperor needed a lonely minister like him, and it was for his own interests to compromise appropriately on the outcome of the case.
And officials who can do it like him are already an outlier in officialdom.
Even the emperor's cronies like him had to compromise in the officialdom, and where did a small county commander like Bai Luo, who had no background, have the confidence to fight against the entire northwest officialdom.
Ask yourself, if he is in a small official position like Bai Luo, with no background backing, he will carefully consider whether to do it and whether he can do it.
Even, he probably won't think about doing it.
Because Bai Luo's decision is tantamount to roasting himself on the fire.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he was playing with fire and setting himself on fire.
"He knew very well that there were some deeper layers that he hadn't thought of, but the old man had already made it clear to him."
Miao Wu has been in the northwest for several years, and the situation of the natural convection of displaced people and the reasons why there is no one to govern them are clear.
But Liu Zhiran has just arrived, and he has just heard about it, so he can take a peek at the leopard and see through the overall situation, which is not something ordinary people can do.
"Then he still decided to resettle the homeless?" Liu Zhiran knew the answer, but he confirmed it again.
"That's right, my lord, he still decided to resettle the homeless." Miao Wu replied affirmatively.
Liu Zhiran turned her head to look at Bai Luo in the main hall, she was stamping the notice written by Wu Zhishan with the official seal of the county order.
The eyelashes on the glamorous face are drooping, and she is serious about following the official seal, and there is no pressure.
Liu Zhiran even admired Bai Luo's heartlessness a little.
Miao Wu stroked his beard, squinted at Bai Luo in the main hall with old eyes, and whispered with a smile in Liu Zhiran's ear: "Master Yuanshi, the old man feels more and more that the decision to follow Lord Bai is more and more correct. ”
Liu Zhiran was silent.
Maybe Bai Luo is still young, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers; Maybe she is still inexperienced, and she doesn't know how terrible the pressure from officialdom is.
He coldly spat out a sentence: "When he really does this, it's not too late for you to say this." Don't regret it when you suffer a lot. ”
"Even if you fail, it's just a matter of returning to Yizhuang." Miao Wu said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm already old, and I'm not afraid of anything, and I already told Lord Bai when I was gathering just now, and I want to come over for the errand of resettlement of the homeless." ”
"He gave it to you?" Liu Zhiran asked.
If Bai Luo really gave this errand to Miao Wu, it would mean that Miao Wu would be the first to carry the thunder, and even become a sad outcast.
However, thinking on the other hand, in this county office, Miao Wu is really the most suitable thing to do.
After all, he is already over the age of old, and he has neither an officialdom future nor a wife to drag him down, whether he is carrying thunder or abandoning his son, it is just the difference between a more difficult and a more difficult life in the remaining few years of his life.
If this errand is really given to Miao Wu, it can be regarded as this Bai Luo's routine of officialdom.
Miao Wu shook her head.
"I didn't give it, Lord Bai said that no one in the county government should interfere in this matter, and he would do it himself."
Liu Zhiran sat next to Miao Wu, and he was surprised one after another, one accident after another.
was still shocked by Miao Wu's words again.
Bai Luo, is this really going to go home and sell sweet potatoes after finishing this ticket?
