Chapter 33 Yunyang County Order
Although Yunyang is a county seat, it has a vast area and many people, and the ten townships under its jurisdiction are very large.
Because of its proximity to Xianyang and its extraordinary wealth, being an official here can be regarded as a fat difference.
Yunyang County focuses on farming and more on commercial profits.
Merchants traveled between Yunyang and Xianyang, selling grain, specialties and other goods.
Therefore, such an environment and location are all advantageous places, and only the county officials are pressured to pay a little attention.
The grain depot is bound to be abundant.
Fusu had hope for Yunyang and his party, hoping for a good result at the beginning.
Not to mention how much grain was raised, at least the number of grain depots could be used by him to lay out his accounts.
It's just that this Yunyang County Ling Jing Kaizhong is not well-known, and he wants to be a mediocre person.
Late at night, the prefectural mansion.
"That's what the Prime Minister said?"
"Naturally, the villain can still trick you, you just can't trust the villain, and you should trust the prime minister."
"Nature, nature."
"What kind of person is the prime minister, the lower officials are just a little frightened."
Jing Kaizhong nodded at the person who came, and his face was full of flattery.
The person who came was Li Si's close attendant.
He got Li Si's order, and set off one day earlier than Fusu to meet the Yunyang County Order.
Li Si had already learned that Jing Kai valued this person and forgot his righteousness, and making this county order of Yunyang was just an ancestral accumulation of virtue.
Therefore, there has been no achievements in this place for many years, and there is no chance of transferring to the capital of Xianyang.
Li Si did what he liked and gave him this opportunity.
The thing to do is also very simple, never give Fusu half a stone of food.
If you can, find a way to delay him a little longer.
Prime Minister Li Si is such a person, with his golden mouth, why worry about not getting the opportunity to be promoted.
Jing Kaizhong only felt that it was a God-given opportunity, so he naturally agreed.
The next day, in the cold wind and bleakness all over the ground.
Fusu's chariot and horse finally arrived in Yunyang.
Yunyang County is different from the road after all, as soon as you enter, you will feel that the city is prosperous and the crowd is bustling.
Jing Kaizhong sent people to wait at the city gate early, and as soon as Fusu arrived, he was taken to the county government.
As soon as Fusu got out of the car, he saw a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears coming up.
Dressed in coarse clothes and tied with a linen belt, he looked extraordinarily simple and even slightly shabby.
"Xiaguan Jing Kai revisits his son."
"No need to be polite."
Fusu secretly looked at the person who came, and had doubts about Jiansheng in his heart.
This Yunyang is also a rich county, why are the officials here so shabby?
"The son is tired of traveling and driving, and the lower official will prepare tea and dinner, please inside."
Jing Kaizhong said that he personally led the way in front and introduced Fusu into the mansion.
Along the way, Fusu looked at the county government quietly, and was suspicious in his heart.
The prefectural government is not the private residence of the prefectural commander and others, but is repaired by the state treasury.
After all, it is a residence for officials, so it is naturally not too shabby.
But at present, all that catches the eye in the house are shabby curtains and cold ornaments.
Fusu was relieved and smiled secretly in his heart.
This county order wants to pretend to be simple, but it is even more suspicious to use too much force.
Sure enough, as he thought before, he was a mediocre and peaceful person, and he wanted to pretend to be diligent and thrifty in front of him.
The merits of officials are never in themselves, but in the people.
Entering the hall, sure enough, there were mostly porridge and side dishes on the table, only one meat food, and the quantity was very small.
Jing Kai rubbed his hands helplessly and said with a smile:
"Son's forgiveness, there is not much food left in the house, and I can't take out good things to entertain my son, so I have to do these."
Fusu raised his hand, "It's okay, I haven't tasted these for a long time, but it's also light." ”
The county magistrate sat down with a smile.
Only then did Fusu see his intentions.
At first, I guessed wrong.
Pretending to be honest is fake, and paving the way for no food is his purpose.
Li Si, the old fox, is really fast, he just walked on his front foot, and Yunyang has already gotten the news.
It's a pity that he calculated that the Yunyang County Order could be handled, but he didn't know that this was extremely stupid.
During the banquet, the two had many greetings, and Fusu never mentioned the matter of grain and grass.
Jing Kaizhong gradually loosened a lot, trying his best to please.
If he could, of course, he didn't want to offend either side.
Li Si is a high-ranking prime minister, and Fusu is also the hottest eldest son of the first emperor.
No matter which one of these two climbs, they can ensure that they have no worries in the second half of their careers.
It's just that if compared, Fusu has no real power, and he is too upright.
It is still unknown who will ascend the throne in the future.
Jing Kaizhong did not hesitate to lean towards Li Si's side.
Fusu didn't mention it, and someone helped him mention it.
Fusu gave a look to the Taicang Order who was greeting together.
Since this Zhili Inner Mansion wants to arrange such a person to follow him, no matter what he has in mind, it should come in handy on the surface.
Taicang Ling received the message, and he did not dare to disobey Fusu's instructions.
At that moment, he cleared his throat and said:
"Lord Jing, this time the museum came with Gongzi in person, for the sake of military rations."
"The Xiongnu in the north have been eyeing our Great Qin territory for a long time, and General Meng has long led his army to be stationed in Beijun."
"Now that the end of winter has just passed, there is a shortage of grain and grass, Yunyang is a rich land, and Lord Wangjing has opened a warehouse to deliver grain."
This Taicang order looks average, and his eloquence is good.
The stakes were clearly laid out, and Fusu was pushed to the front.
"Ah, this ......"
Jing Kaizhong's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while, before he got up and pleaded guilty to Fusu:
"Don't hide it from the son, Yunyang was suddenly hit by a locust plague last year, and most of the grain production was reduced.
"As a magistrate, Xia Guan can't help but think about the livelihood of the people, so the granary is empty, and I ask the prince to be compassionate."
As soon as these words came out, he also forcibly forced the military rations to be paid, so that it seemed that Fusu was not considerate of his subordinates and did not have mercy on the people.
It's just that how much surplus grain there is in the granary depends on the county order.
Fusu was suspicious, "Oh? ”
"The locust plague in autumn, why didn't Xianyang receive a report."
He turned his head again and asked the Taicang Order, who was in charge of grain, and asked:
"There is no record of the Lord of the Inner Mansion?"
Taicang Ling replied: "No, last year, Yunyang's grain was handed over in full, and I didn't hear about the locust plague. ”
Jing Kaizhong reacted very quickly, and explained with a crying face:
"Gongzi and adults all know that Yunyang has always been rich, so after the locust plague last year, the surplus grain in the treasury was still enough to pay taxes and help the people in need."
"By this year, the library has long been empty."
"It's only February, and the grain has just been planted, so even the new grain will have to wait until autumn."
"The lower official knows that the military rations of Beijun cannot be delayed, so it is better for Gongzi to go to Ji County and other places to raise more."
Jing Kai understood in his heart that what he promised Li Si was not to give Fusu grain anyway.
As for the rest, he can manage it with a small county order.
So as long as Yun Yang is pushed away, he can be regarded as completing the task assigned by Li Si.
Fusu stared at him for a long time and didn't speak, Jing Kaizhong was stunned by him, and his body kept stiff.
Taicang Ling is a wall grass, and if Fusu doesn't mention it, he naturally won't take the initiative to speak.
After a long time, Jing Kai swallowed his throat weakly, and said cautiously:
"Childe has been running around for a long time, and now it's getting late, why don't you rest first?"
