Chapter 192: Shen Yichen's Hardship
Shen Yichen was wearing a green official uniform and a veil wing, and he already had a bit of an official portrait, but Qin Guan saw fatigue in his expression.
When Shen Yichen saw Qin Guan, he bowed and saluted, claiming that he had seen the prefect.
Qin Guan grabbed him and said in a slightly reproachful tone: "You and I are classmates and fellow villagers and friends in the same year, these four relationships are all accounted for, they used to be brothers, how did you make a county order for a month, and you have become so rusty." ”
"Don't you want to break up with me?" Qin Guan scolded with a smile.
Shen Yichen smiled bitterly, "It's too late for me to hug your thighs, how can I get rid of the relationship, isn't this just to ask you for help." ”
"Why, unsatisfactory." Qin Guan asked.
Shen Yichen's face became a little heavier, and he said: "I used to feel that I was very beautiful to be an official in the entrance examination, but after becoming an official, I found out the difficulty of being an official, especially when the people below are fooling you, disobeying you, and even opposing you everywhere, it is even more difficult if you want to make a career." ”
Qin Guan nodded, "Let's talk about what problems you encountered." ”
Hearing Qin Guan's words, Shen Yichen suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was much lighter.
Shen Yichen began to tell about his experience this month, and after Qin Guan listened, he found that Shen Yichen's past month was no worse than his own.
On that day, Shen Yichen took a few servants to Lin'an County to take office, and Cheng Yanbo of Lin'an County took people out of the city to greet him, and the scale was very grand, Lin'an County's officials, subordinates, teachings, teachings, scriptures, officials, students, local eunuchs, wealthy businessmen, squires and elders, etc., all went out of the city to greet Shen Yichen at the official pavilion.
Although it was grand, Shen Yichen could find that these people were only a little polite to him, but they were all close to and flattering to the county Cheng Yanbo.
Shen Yichen initially thought that Yan Bo had been an official here for seven or eight years, and he was familiar with these people, so he was like this when he first arrived, but in the later stage, he found that the situation was much more serious than he imagined.
After taking office, the first thing Shen Yichen did was to deal with the resettlement of disaster victims in the county, Lin'an was seriously affected last year, and now there are as many as 3,000 disaster victims in the county, and these people are very stressful for a small border county.
Shen Yichen thought about it for a day and put forward a few suggestions, although there was nothing new, it could be regarded as a decent move, and it could be regarded as a move to follow the experience of his predecessors, if it was done well, it could also relieve the current pressure.
But when he brought it up, he was refuted by the county Cheng Yanbo.
And it was overturned one by one in front of the chief bookkeeper, the county lieutenant, and the officials under the government.
"The work for relief proposed by the adults, our dynasty does have a precedent, but Lin'an is not good, Lin'an suffered from a military disaster, the original small tax silver was looted, and now the county government can't take out a penny, how can there be no money to work for relief."
"It's true that the suspension and exemption proposed by the adults is possible, but have you ever thought about how my county will live next year?"
"As for the government's method of lending money, hehe, with all due respect, how to lend money if you don't have money."
"The lord finally mentioned the matter of collecting donations from the rich squires, this is indeed a good way, but it has been used before, before the adults came, I took charge of Lin'an affairs, and gave an order to raise donations, and those rich squires were also very cooperative, donating food and money, otherwise how to maintain the current situation of empty granaries and empty silver vaults in Lin'an."
Shen Yichen was suddenly speechless.
Looking at Yan Bo, the county man who was looking at him with a smile, Shen Yichen saw that he was indeed contemptuous and disdainful under his smiling face.
Shen Yichen said: "Yan Xiancheng is familiar with the situation in Lin'an, but there is a good way." ”
Yan Bo smiled, spread his hands and said, "No." ”
"Before, the lower officials were also struggling to support, but now that Shen Zhixian is here, we naturally have to follow the orders of the county commander."
"How long can we hold up our food?" Shen Yichen asked.
"It's about seven or eight days, so I have to ask the county to make plans early."
Yan Bo and the chief bookkeeper, the county lieutenant and several officials left the main hall, leaving Shen Yichen at a loss, and a few people turned around and went to the restaurant.
A table of wine and food was served, and the master bookkeeper held a wine glass and said with a smile: "The county master was speechless today, hehehe, when we left, Shen Xianling's brows were still furrowed. ”
"Xinke Jinshi, the milk smell has not dried up, how do you know the difficulties of the place, I really think that after reading a few books, I can know the affairs of the world, and I can govern the local people according to the law in the book, what a joke." The county lieutenant said with a grin.
County Cheng Yan Bo smiled faintly, took a sip of the wine glass, and felt very happy, what about the county, what about the county, what about the county, the previous Qu Zhi County, was not obediently his mud tire county order, he just wanted to subdue the new Zhi County, and in the future, this Lin'an County, or he had the final say.
Yan Bo smiled faintly and said: "Hey, you can't say that, after all, the county magistrate is a jinshi appointed by the emperor, and he is a scholar with university questions, and my big Zhao country only produces dozens of them a year, so don't be contemptuous." ”
"In the future, we will do things well, we still have to cooperate with the county order, and when we go back, the master book will let the county order see the disaster relief method we discussed, and if it is passed, we will naturally work together to deal with this tricky matter."
When several people heard this, they all laughed.
The next day, the master book handed a document to Shen Yichen, and after Shen Yichen read it, his face became very ugly, and he looked at the master book and asked, "This is the method you came up with." ”
Master He replied: "My lord, the situation in our Lin'an County is here, if you want to get the money for disaster relief, this is the only way." ”
There are many contents of the documents, but they can be summed up in a few sentences, buying and selling land, granting meritorious fame, and reducing or exempting commercial taxes.
It is a good time for them to buy land on a large scale, and now they can buy the land in the hands of the victims at a very low price, and then turn those yeoman farmers into tenants and make loans, and from then on, these people will repay their debts from generation to generation, and become slaves of large families, and there will be no dregs left by them, and even future generations will pay off their debts.
The imperial court of the Great Zhao State had strict regulations on the purchase and sale of peasant land, especially the ration fields, which were not allowed to be bought and sold at will, which was a life-saving thing.
Unless there is a personal signature of the county master, the official seal of the county order can take effect.
What they wanted was Shen Yichen's signature.
If Shen Yichen signs and seals and is found by the state government in the future, these land sales must also take effect, but he Shen Yichen is likely to be held accountable.
This is already digging a pit for Shen Yichen and roasting it on the fire.
As for the conferment of fame, that is an extremely absurd request.
