Chapter 82: A day trip to Gao Zhan Qingxi
"I once told you that there was a local county decree with outstanding political achievements, excellent official reputation, and a high reputation among the people, and the people even presented a letter of ten thousand people to the imperial court,"
Gao Zhan changed his dress, like a student on a study tour, he walked into Qingxi County generously, he observed the pedestrians on the street, and said calmly: "Later, the imperial court found out that the local people were oppressed by it and had to do so. ”
Gao Di, who followed him, did not pretend to be a scholar, probably considering his developed biceps, he really did not have the momentum of a scholar, so he pretended to be a guard, and said after hearing the words: "Childe considers it, but I don't think Li Zhifeng is a good official." ”
"Well, it can be seen that Li Zhifeng should have been oppressed by Zhou Boqian for too long, and now he is quite utilitarian, but before the dust settles on the matter, never make an absolute conclusion."
"Childe said that people's hearts are unpredictable, rumors are difficult to distinguish, the world is uncertain, and you can't jump to conclusions at any time."
During the conversation, Gao Zhan came to a steamed bun stall and asked the stall owner, "How do you sell this steamed bun?" ”
"It's not expensive, steamed buns are two pennies."
Hearing this price, Gao Zhan was quite surprised.
The stall owner noticed his demeanor and asked, "Guest, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's nothing, we have been studying elsewhere here, and we have long heard that Qingxi has suffered serious disasters in recent years, but I didn't expect that the price of goods is no different from that of the time of peace," Gao Zhan said with emotion.
"It's all a loss to our county lieutenant,"
There was a look of pride on the stall owner's face, and he said, "Our county lieutenant arranged for people to patrol the market every day, and at first there were some people who disturbed the market, but all of them were escorted in by our lords, and then no one dared to do that again. ”
Gao Di frowned, and said with a smile: "By the way, you are in business, if everyone follows the price increase, won't you be able to earn more, why do you still seem to be grateful to him?" ”
"You... How can you talk like that? ”
The stall owner didn't know that the other party was deliberately asking this, and said dissatisfiedly: "Not to mention that you have to be conscientious in doing business, I don't give disaster money, not to mention that I just do a small business, if the price is raised, I can't even afford flour, and at that time, I can't afford to do this small business." ”
"You're right, it seems that this County Lieutenant Chen is really not an ordinary person," Gao Di pretended to sigh.
"Of course, our county lieutenant was sent down by the gods, since he came to our county, the Tsing Yi Gang that used to show off his might in the county is gone, and we, the common people, no longer have to pay protection fees, and the Yuan family who has lost their conscience, and the Black Cloud Village that fights for the tiger..."
Gao Zhan and Jia Di listened to all kinds of praise for Chen Feng here again, and it seemed that as long as these people talked about Chen Feng, they would be indescribably grateful.
In the end, Gao Zhan bought two buns and left.
And indeed as the stall owner had said, they saw the officials patrolling the streets.
Before they entered the city, they would have thought that Qingxi County would see chaos because of the disaster, and the refugees were sheltered in the alleys and forced to endure the bitter cold wind, but they did not expect that they did not see a single refugee after a long time.
For this reason, the two also went to the place where the so-called poor people in the mountains of Qingxi County were located, but they didn't expect that when they mentioned Chen Feng on the side, these people were very grateful.
"You people from other towns don't know, when Yuan Yutang was here in the past, we were all bullied by the Yuan family here, since the county lieutenant eradicated the Yuan family, we have finally been peaceful here, and no one dares to bully us anymore."
"Yes, I'm really worried that a good official like the county lieutenant will be transferred to another place by the imperial court in the future, I heard that the imperial court sent the imperial history here to review the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, if you let the imperial history know about the county lieutenant, maybe the county lieutenant will be transferred to another place."
"I've also heard about this, but before Song Bo said that there are not many officials like the county lieutenant in the world, and most of the people who are the imperial historian are also here to make money."
"It's all corrupt officials and dog officials, people like County Lieutenant Chen are all sent by Master Haotian, that Yushi Bacheng is also a corrupt official, if he really wants to transfer the county lieutenant, then we will scrape together some money for him, so that he doesn't transfer the county lieutenant."
"It's a good idea."
Hearing these people's discussions, Jia Di couldn't stand it and wanted to rush over to educate this group of people.
But Gao Zhan stopped him and said: "I have also seen in the history books before, some people spontaneously pooled money, the purpose was to keep their parents from being transferred, and some people spontaneously pooled money to transfer away officials who did wrongdoing, but until today, I have never seen such a thing in reality." ”
Hearing this, Gao Di also calmed down and said, "Childe, I don't think these people seem to be oppressed at all, and they can't pretend to be that kind of true feelings." ”
"Well, that's how I feel, too."
Jia Di suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "But if Chen Zishi knows that the people have such a heart, I don't know if he should be happy or sad." ”
Gao Zhan didn't answer his question, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "So, I changed my mind. ”
"What?" Jadi wondered.
Gao Zhan Zhengse said: "Go down the mountain, find an inn to live in first, I will go to meet this Chen Zishi for a while." ”
Jia Di then understood what Gao Zhan meant by changing his mind.
The two soon came to an inn called Yuelai, and when they learned that the two were going to stay in the hotel, the shopkeeper immediately said solemnly: "Please show the guide for trouble." ”
It is understandable that the hotel needs to be guided.
But then Gao Zhan was a little surprised when he saw that the shopkeeper was still filling it in carefully.
The procedures of this shopkeeper are the same as those stipulated by the imperial court, but they go all the way south, in fact, most of the inns just look at them casually and pass by, and they will not record them so seriously at all.
Some inns even deliberately did not report in order to avoid paying taxes to the imperial court and collected black money from guests.
Gao Zhan and Jia Di were naturally surprised that a small place like Qingxi was so formal, and the former said: "It's rare for a store to be so attentive. ”
"Don't worry, we will protect the identity of the guests, unless the government asks, no one can know,"
The shopkeeper thought that the two were worried about this aspect, and explained: "The third master of our county is extremely strict, and that is a figure like Bao Longtu, of course we don't dare to be sloppy." ”
Jia Di looked at Gao Zhan, but he didn't expect that they would still hear Chen Feng's name in a hotel.
After entering the room, Gao Zhan couldn't help but sigh, "Since entering Qingxi County, when I didn't see Chen Zi, and when I saw Chen Zi everywhere, this person is not ordinary." ”
Jia Di heard the worry in Gao Zhan's heart, and said: "He has a teacher-student relationship with Lai Wanchun, if this person can't distinguish between right and wrong, and everything he does in Qingxi is to listen to Wanchun's orders, it will be a big deal." ”
"Yes, he is the heart of the people now, and the city will become impregnable," said Gaudí, pushing open the window and looking out at the bustling streets below.
Jadi stepped forward and was about to speak.
There was a sudden commotion below, "Go to the Su Mansion, it's amazing, the young master of the Su family in the winter is actually selling spinach." ”
