Merit is conferred.

What fame?

Naturally, it is a talent to show fame, which can be said to be the biggest right of the county master.

Although Lin'an is a lower county, the border, but there are still a lot of scholars, most of these people come from large families, and the poor can't afford to read.

This document proposes to designate a few people to obtain the fame of Xiucai, and their names have been written, Shen Yichen saw that they were all the children of wealthy businessmen and squires who went to greet him that day.

This is simply a blatant business fame.

As for the tax reduction and exemption, it is naturally for these wealthy businessmen to reduce the original 10 taxes to 20 taxes in the name of disasters.

Pay half less tax.

These guys have a really big appetite.

As for where the lost money of the imperial court comes from, it is naturally diluted on the heads of those people who have no power and nothing to do, which will make their burden even heavier.

Of course, to make such a request, the benefits are naturally to be given, and in the end, each family gave the amount of donations, which is 30,000 yuan, which is really a lot.

With these 30,000 runs, it is enough to solve all the problems of Lin'an now.

But can Shen Yichen agree to such a request?

He is not stupid, he knows that if he really does this, he can indeed get through the current difficulties, but what awaits him in the future may be imprisonment.

Shen Yichen had a calm face, threw the paperwork on the table, and said: "Fame is a major matter for the imperial court to select talents, how can you give and receive it privately, as for the geometry of taxes, there are also regulations of the imperial court, and this county has no right to reduce or reduce it at will." ”

As for the land, Shen Yichen didn't mention it.

Because if the people's food ration fields are really sold to those large households, the result will be to enrich a very small number of people and harm countless families.

It's something you can't do.

He Zhushu's face remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "My lord, this is our contact with those big households, their requirements, if they are not met, they will definitely not be able to lend money, if there is no money, those disaster victims will not be able to resettle, after all, it is a disaster, if the time comes to the peak to hold accountable, rescue and resettle the victims is not good, I am afraid that my lord will be punished, my lord, the matter is urgent." ”

Shen Yichen said in a deep voice: "I will find other ways to help the victims, as for these, don't mention them." ”

Master He bent down and bowed, took back the paperwork and left the main hall.

When he walked to the door, he turned around and said: "My lord, there is not much food for the victims now, only enough for six or seven days at most, please come up with a way as soon as possible, otherwise those victims will be hungry, I am afraid that they will make trouble, and it will be difficult to clean up when the time comes." ”

"If you can't think of any other way, you can send someone to call me, and the next official will go to give porridge to those disaster victims."

After saying that, he strode away.

Shen Yichen's face was very ugly, he was on the road when he came, and after chatting with Qin Guan and the two of them to the place, he might be perfunctory and even squeezed by the local officials.

He was already prepared, but he never expected that these people would be so unscrupulous, it can no longer be called a squeeze system, it can be called playing with the palm of the hand.

These people want to turn Shen Yichen into a mud tire county order, a straw bag county order, and even a scapegoat county order that listens to them and is at their mercy.

Did you just come and ask for help from the state capital?

Shen Yichen is also a somewhat arrogant person, he doesn't want to leave an impression of incompetence on his friends, he wants to fight with these people to see if he can succeed.

The next day, Shen Yichen took a few servants and a few officials and began to visit those gentry in Lin'an County.

Every time he arrives at a house, he will naturally be warmly entertained, with good wine and food, and even singers and dancers, but when Shen Yichen proposed to borrow food and money, these people cried poor one by one.

This said that this time the family property was also looted, and the loss was heavy, and it is really difficult to save yourself now.

The one who said that the family had a large population and could not make ends meet.

In short, all of them are full of reasons.

In the end, with the face of the county order, he finally raised a batch of food, which could last for about half a month.

By this time, Shen Yichen only felt physically and mentally exhausted.

Everywhere is restricted, there are talents and ambitions, there is a heart for the country and the people, but it is also difficult to display, and the dragon swims in the shallows and the tiger falls in Pingyang.

He suddenly had doubts about his abilities.

I am really just a useless scholar, fighting with these officialdom veterans, I am controlled everywhere, and I have no place to focus on it.

In the end, he took out a sum of money and bought a batch of grain from Xiongzhou to support it until now.

However, the people who bought the grain came back and brought back the news of Xiongzhou Mansion.

One of Shen Yichen's loyal servants reported: "My lord, now the price of grain in Xiongzhou has dropped to the same price, which is basically the same as Dayuan City, this is an order from the state capital Qin Governor. ”

"I heard a lot of news in the state capital, and there are also a lot of rumors...... and then this loyal servant told Shen Yichen everything he had seen.

Qin Guan arrived in Xiongzhou, made great moves, sold forty miles of barren mountains, got 80,000 yuan, forced the king of Xiongzhou County to obey softly, hid in the mountains to cultivate immortals, and strictly ordered Xiongzhou grain merchants to reduce prices, all commodities should not be higher than Dayuan City, collect more than 10,000 victims into the army, and build a new village for the victims.

Nowadays, the people of Xiongzhou praise the Qin prefect as the reincarnation of a saint and the great master who is close to the people and loves the people.

These news made Shen Yichen stunned when he heard it.

Unexpectedly, Qin Guan did so well in Xiongzhou.

Look at my side again, but the scene is not open at all.

It seems that there is really a gap, and the gap is very large.

Seeing that the relief food for the victims was only enough for six or seven days, he still didn't find a better way, but those officials stood by and waited for him to obey, Shen Yichen immediately made a decision.

Enter Xiongzhou and find Qinguan to rescue.

Without delay, he did not take a car, changed into a neat outfit, and rode a few people to Xiongzhou.

After listening to Shen Yichen's narration, Qin Guan said lightly: "I was thinking about when to rectify the officialdom of Xiongzhou, and it seems that now is the time." ”

No one realizes that a storm of officialdom is brewing over Xiongzhou.

As for who the thunder will hit, it depends on who is unlucky.

Qin Guan immediately called a warden and ordered him to go down, "Tomorrow I will inspect Lin'an, and ask the officials, the records to join the army, the managers to join the army, the households to join the army, and the judicial officers to join the army." ”

"Prepare 100,000 catties of grain to bring to Lin'an for disaster relief, and prepare 30,000 yuan at the same time."

There are only more than 3,000 victims in Lin'an, and 100,000 catties of food is enough for these people to eat for more than a month, and they can still eat enough.

Qin Guan said that this is only for emergency use, in order to reassure the people, and it needs to be transported over in the future.

Inform Xiong Er to bring 2,000 troops with him, just to engage in training.

The warden wrote them down one by one, and left to prepare after saluting, Shen Yichen looked at Qin Guan's commanding appearance, and at this moment he finally admitted that he was indeed inferior to Qin Guan.

In the evening, Qin Guan and Shen Yichen drank and chatted, just the two of them, Luo Yiren just came out to toast a glass of wine and went back, she is very busy now, studying those account books every day.

The two of them chatted about the easy days in the past, chatting about various things they had seen and heard after arriving in Xiongzhou, and in the end, Shen Yichen drank a little too much, and said: "You don't know, I have been feeling very stressed these days, as if I have a big mountain behind my back, and those victims are waiting to be fed, but those subordinates are disobedient, but I have done nothing. ”

Qin Guan could understand that Shen Yichen must have been bullied by those lower-level officials these days, so he had a disgusting mind, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, and said: "Xingwen, don't lose your sharpness, it's just some local chickens and dogs, I'll support you, stay until tomorrow, clean them all up, and you still need to manage Lin'an in the future." ”

Shen Yichen looked at Qin Guan with somewhat misty eyes and said, "Those old officials in the officialdom have a lot of tricks, and they are very slippery, and they are not so easy to clean up. ”

Qin Guan smiled: "You can see tomorrow." ”
