The woman also expected this situation, plucked up her courage, looked up and said:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, my father is a veteran, and he has been on the battlefield, he has been wounded, and he has made great achievements for Great Xia. But he didn't ask too much, anyway, on the battlefield back then, he got a lot of rewards. ”

"In the first year of his discharge, he saved up a year's supplies and went to collect them at the end of the year."

But the next year, my father fell while walking at night and twisted his foot. But it was the injured foot again. ”

"Since then, his feet have been in good condition, and when he walks, he hurts, and he can't do any work."

"After a few months of treatment, the family's savings were gone. My father had no choice but to go to the government to get money and food. ”

"But I didn't expect that the government was looking at each other."

When he said this, the surrounding crowd was quiet, and Chen Mu's face sank.

The woman choked up twice and continued:

"My father went to collect the supplies, but the government used various reasons to shirk it. There was no news from left and right, so my father simply didn't go, begging the neighbors for help. ”

"My father is starving and angry these days, and he has a new illness."

"Now, our family hasn't received supplies for a year, and life is really unbearable."

"Please ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be the master for us!"

"Woo-woo-"

Speaking of which, the woman really couldn't go on.

There was silence all around, and some soldiers began to weep, while others were indignant and secretly cursed the local officials.

Chen Mu's face was pale, and he had already understood that it must be the local officials who looked down on the veterans and deliberately delayed the distribution.

Chen Mu took a deep breath and said softly: "I know, you go to the county government with me, and I will make the decision for you." ”

When the woman heard Chen Mu's response, she kowtowed excitedly to thank her.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for your mercy!"

Chen Mu separated the guards and stepped forward to help the woman up.

"Don't say that, this is what the court owes to your family."

"Come with me."

Chen Mu pulled the woman and walked directly into his special car. The convoy and the guards marched in the direction of the county office, surrounded by onlookers.

The county office is not far from here, and it will be there soon.

The prefectural commander and his subordinates heard the news and went to the door to greet them.

At the door, the county commander asked Chen Mu's guards with a smile: "Master Jun, what's the matter with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here?" ”

The guard glared at him angrily and didn't say a word.

The county commander chuckled in his heart for a moment, thinking that it must not be a good thing, but after thinking about it again, he didn't seem to have done anything wrong, and he put his mind at ease.

Chen Mu's car stopped at the gate of the county office, and Chen Mu helped the woman get out of the car.

The county magistrate didn't recognize the woman at all, and stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

"Li Ji, the county magistrate of Ji'an County, meet His Royal Highness the Prince."

Chen Mu frowned and said, "There is a veteran here, named Sun Yong, do you know?" ”

The county commander Li Jileng paused for a moment, and then replied: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there are many veterans in this county, and the subordinate officials need to check the roster and report again." ”

Chen Mu nodded, "Okay, I don't remember the name, do you still remember it?" ”

As he spoke, Chen Mu waved his hand, and a soldier in the car behind him helped a middle-aged man get out of the car. The man had a problem with his feet, so the soldier brought him a stool to sit on.

The county magistrate Li Ji glanced at it twice and remembered.

"This, the lower officials know, the lower officials know."

Chen Mu asked in a deep voice, "Then why don't you give Sun Yong money and food?" ”

Li Ji's cold sweat fell, "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, Xia Guan remembers this person, he took the initiative to ask to receive it once a year." Later, he suddenly wanted to receive it every month, and the little official in charge of this matter asked me for instructions, and after I replied, Sun Yong left on his own. It's really ......."

"Bastard!" Chen Mu directly interrupted him.

"Do I need to ask for advice? Don't your subordinates know about Great Xia's policy towards veterans? What is the problem with Sun Yong wanting to receive it on a monthly basis? ”

"If it weren't for your blank eyes, if it weren't for you deliberately making things difficult, why would Sun Yong leave on his own?"

"Even if he leaves, why don't you send supplies home?"

"Can't you see that Sun Yong's legs and feet are inconvenient?"

"Why don't you pay for his medical treatment?"

The more Chen Mu spoke, the more angry he became, and the soldiers around him also looked at the county order angrily, empathizing with Sun Yong's experience.

Among these soldiers, there are also people from Ji'an County, if it weren't for today's incident, maybe they would have suffered such a thing in the future.

The county magistrate Li Ji was stunned, and stammered back: "This, this, Sun Yong did not apply for medical expenses, and the lower officials really don't know ......"

Chen Mu couldn't help it, and stepped forward and kicked Li Ji.

"Nonsense! Do I still need to apply? Anyone could tell that he had a wound on his foot. ”

"You have to figure it out! Giving money and food to veterans is not a favor from the imperial court. This is what the court owes them! ”

"They shed their blood for the country, and the court should solve their worries!"

"If life is not guaranteed after being discharged from the army, how many people are willing to join the army?"

"You're ruining the foundation of Great Xia!"

Chen Mu knows very well that although the surrounding countries have now become subject countries, and even if you look at the whole world, there is no threat of war, the army is still the top priority.

It is because of the strong military strength of Great Xia, so other countries do not dare to have ambitions, if Great Xia does not cherish the army, it will definitely be counterattacked.

After Chen Mu finished speaking, he raised his hand to summon the guards.

"Someone! Escort him down to me and bring him back to the capital for trial!" ”

The guards stepped forward to tie up Li Ji and took him straight down.

There was a round of applause.

Many of the soldiers were clapping and weeping.

Sun Yong's daughter supported him and walked in front of Chen Mu and was about to kneel.

Chen Mu hurriedly asked the guards to support them, "No, this is what I should do, there is a negligence in the management of the imperial court, and the imperial court is sorry for you." ”

Sun Yong burst into tears, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't expect it, I'm just an ordinary reserve soldier, and I haven't even touched a musket. I didn't expect you to make decisions for me! ”

Chen Mu smiled and shook his head, "No matter what kind of army it is, they have all been on the battlefield for Great Xia, and they deserve to be treated favorably." ”

"When I go back, I will post an article emphasizing that we must give absolute respect to veterans."

Sun Yong nodded with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Chen Mu nodded, "Okay, you go back to rest first, I will send someone to deliver the things that should be given to you." ”

Chen Mu arranged a car to send Sun Yong's father and daughter home, and asked someone to go to the county order to collect the supplies and send them over.

After this incident, Chen Mu also noticed that the consciousness of the officials in Daxia is not enough, and management education must be strengthened.

It is also necessary to increase the channels for the people to petition, and there is no only way to stop the people from filing a lawsuit.

Only when the people truly have the right to supervise can officials do things honestly.
