Chapter 139: Awaiting the Baby
Zhuge Jue naturally knew that he would be hated by others for breaking some officialdom habits as soon as he took office. Some people have also advised him to be more decent and convenient with his colleagues, and he will be able to do things in the future.
But with these moths decent, who gave them a way to live under their rule. Over the years, he has felt more and more that being an official is more and more unbearable than the other, and the gathering of remnants is even better.
Of course, he knew that the root was the official seller in the country's West Garden, and those who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to get a place to be guarded, which one would not double down after taking office.
For example, when he went to Fei County on business this time, the essence was like this.
Fei County is located on the passage between Mengshan and Nishan. It can be said that from Yanzhou to Xuzhou, the most important passage is this Nimeng Road. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Lu State Doctor Ji was divided here, so the valley was wide and important, and the Ji family became a number of doctors in the Lu State according to this.
Because the geography of Fei County is so important, it can be said that it controls the throat of Yanxu, so there is a battalion of 500 people stationed here. But a few days ago, this battalion began to mutiny, and Taishou Zhang Ju sent him to Fei County to deal with the matter.
Basically no one wants to do this, and those old revolutionaries who are in arrears will really lose their lives if they go crazy. Zhuge Jue also knew Taishou's intention to let him go, and he was not happy with the king, so this kind of life-consuming matter naturally fell on his head.
But Zhuge Jue was not resentful, and still took his old ox cart to Fei County to investigate.
The results of the investigation soon came out, and the former county magistrate Fei left his post and directly used the 500,000 yuan military salary in the treasury, and only offset some rotten grains in the treasury.
At that time, Taishan County knew about this matter, because in previous years, there would also be money to buy some cloth and corn, which could be regarded as stabilizing prices. But the bad thing is that when the materials were put into storage, no one came to check the quality of the materials.
In the spring of this year, the newly arrived Fei County Magistrate distributed corn and silk to the battalion soldiers for the New Year as usual. The battalion soldiers who were happy to receive the salary received these rotten grains, and they were all angry, and they clamored to surround the Fei County Party Office at that time.
The rebels are clamoring, if they don't pay this salary, they won't leave, and County Magistrate Fei won't want to leave.
To tell the truth, the rebels have reason to be angry, during this time, several counties near Mount Tai have been affected, and their families are waiting for them to bring the millet back. If there is no millet, it will definitely be a death, and the mutiny will not necessarily die. Then these battalions will definitely mutini and make trouble.
The magistrate of Fei County is an upright person, and he denies this account. It's not that he is upright, but he is not convinced, why should he settle the account with his predecessor? At that time, he said to the rebels, "Whoever cheats you, you will go to whomever you pay."
Then he was beaten by this wave of soldiers, and then stripped off and fell on a bamboo pole. The county master saw that the matter was making a big fuss, so he could only let the county officials report to Taishan County.
So Zhuge Jue came.
After Zhuge Jue came, after figuring out the whole story, he immediately wrote an impeachment of the former Fei County Magistrate, and now it is the recital of the Mu County Order. Not only did he have to hand over the 500,000 yuan he had embezzled, but he also had to punish him according to law.
As for the battalion soldiers who couldn't bear it, Zhuge Jue used Fei County's official land as a countervail, and first borrowed 500,000 yuan from several powerful people in Fei County, and first issued it to the battalion soldiers. Zhuge Jue thought so, when the time came, he recovered the 500,000 yuan from the former Fei County Magistrate, and then returned it to these powerful people, and the matter would be completed. ….
The officer who came to the battalion was really thinking about them, so it was not difficult for the county magistrate Fei to send him back. After that, Zhuge Jue returned to Fenggao and wanted to report to the county guard and take the current Mu County Order.
But what Zhuge Jue didn't know was that as soon as he left, several Fei County Haoqiang who borrowed his money over there gathered at the mansion of the Chen family in Fei County to discuss the money.
Fei County Chen is a well-deserved Hao right in Fei County, because the ancestor of his family is Chen He, the former Han Dynasty Feihou.
Back then, Gaozu fought the world with the support of the old brothers. And these old brothers were divided into circles. The innermost circle is naturally Gaozu Liu Bang's hometown, Fengpei Wuren Group. And in the outer circle, it is the Mangdang Warriors Group.
After Liu Bang fought his hometown, his first battle was to attack Mang, Dang and Dang counties, and expanded his troops here by 6,000, which was twice the original strength. A wave of future princes have emerged here, so they are also called the Mangdang Warriors Group. And Chen He, the ancestor of the Chen family, is one of them.
Although the Chen family in Fei County no longer has the princely style of the past, but in this Fei County, it is still the most powerful power, this time Zhuge Qi can borrow money from Fei County, and Chen Yu, the head of the Chen family, played a decisive role in it.
This time, several other powerful people came to the Chen Mansion to celebrate, because of this loan, which made a lot of profits, so they all came to the Chen Mansion to drink and drink.
When the wine was staggered and the wine was high, Chen Yue, the head of the Chen family, couldn't help but say proudly:
"Do you think we're making that little profit? Tell you the truth, this time we will at least triple the profit."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but pour himself another glass and drink it full.
His words stirred up a thousand waves, and the few people sitting with him stopped drinking, puzzled by what he meant, and even a few of them were in a hurry and scratched their ears and cheeks, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.
Chen Yu said:
"Do you really think that the former magistrate of Fei County can pay 500,000 yuan?"
One of the powerful family heads, stroked his beard, analyzed:
"During the years that the county magistrate of Nafei has been in office, as far as I know, he has spent no less than 700,000 yuan. That's 500,000, more than enough. It is also because of this background that I lent it to Zhuge Jun with my brothers."
Chen Yu ridiculed:
"You're honest too, and what he got is his, huh? Don't want him above? Then again, not to mention whether he has it or not, even if he does, most of the money will not be paid. Do you think, how could the Fujun side poke out the mutiny of the Fei County battalion, he is trying to enter the court, this matter explodes, why do you want to enter the court as a secretary? It's great to be able to keep the ribbon around your waist."
As soon as these words came out, several Haoqiang below panicked, and one of them said in a trembling voice:
"Then the money we borrowed will be frenched?"
Chen Yu laughed:
"You forgot, at that time, the surname Zhuge wanted to borrow money, why did I have to take the official land in Fei County as a countervail? It is because of this stubble, that piece of official land for more than 20 hectares, all of which are good ripe fields, and Zhuge Jue is not familiar with general affairs, so he will do this. Rest assured, even if we are given half of this land, we will receive five times the profit."
"Gao, Chen Jun is really high."
In this way, the powerful people of Fei County have a good account here, and Zhuge Jue over there also played Taishan County Shouzhang Ju and talked about Fei County. ….
Zhang Ju had a headache, he was dangling back and forth in the hall, and then clapped his hands, saying that he knew about it and asked Zhuge Jue to go back first. Zhuge Jue was helpless and bowed down.
As soon as Zhuge Jue left, Zhang Ju called out his own history of the room, Bian Wei.
Bian Wei is a native of Yanzhou Chenliu, his grandfather's generation lived in Mount Tai Fenggao, and then Bian Wei's father did not live in Fenggao's side of the industry, and did not go back.
Bian Wei is a man of many words, good at rhetoric, Zhang Ju just came to Mount Tai to do the Taishou to set him up as a record of the history of the room, the palm of the seal of the secretary of the text. Generally speaking, those who hold this position are confidential dignitaries of the chief officer. Some documents and private plots have passed through the hands of these chronicles, and it can be said that they are both prosperous and lossy with the main family.
Bian Wei, as Zhang Ju's secret confidant, did a good job in some of the things he had done before, so Zhang Ju gradually regarded Bian Wei as his henchman. Calling him this time is naturally to do something that is difficult for him to come forward.
Bian Wei got the order here, so he left what he was doing and hurried over. As soon as he came, Zhang Ju asked him to come over with his ear, and said that he would do this and that.
Bian Wei thought about it for a while, and had to give the order.
Walking on the road, Bian Wei was also speculating on the meaning of the proposal.
What Zhang Ju asked him to do was not complicated, that is, let him collude with the county Cheng Zhuge to see if they could press this matter in the county.
500,000 yuan of military salary, 200,000 yuan from the former Fei County Governor, and then another 200,000 yuan from the Fei County treasury, this money can be converted into the annual account and flattened a little. There is another 100,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan from the county gong Cao, who promoted the former Fei county magistrate at that time, and 50,000 yuan, which is from the current Fei county magistrate, who asked him not to inspect the warehouse when he handed it over.
Although Bian Wei is not long, he has already been deeply immersed in these official affairs, otherwise he would not be able to do a too good record of the office. The 500,000 yuan was directly handed over by the former Fei county magistrate, why should he share it
?
It was because of this 500,000 yuan that the county magistrate Fei himself got 200,000 yuan, and the remaining 300,000 yuan, the county Gongcao got 100,000 yuan, and his proposal won 200,000 yuan.
He understood what Zhang Ju meant, that is, he wanted to make it a big deal, and he didn't want to pay a penny.
On the other hand, why did he have to be the intermediary to say this, instead of Zhang Ju directly talking to Zhuge Jue? This is the knowledge of being an official.
This has two advantages, one is that it does not fall into words. Zhang Ju was transmitted to these people who could not be on the stage through his Bian Wei, so Zhang Ju could not be implicated in this matter. If Zhuge Jue wants to make his first move in the future, it can only be counted on his Bian Wei's head. This is Shangguan's way of being an official.
Everything is self-asserted below, I don't know.
Since Bian Wei knows the selfishness in this, doesn't he resent it? Naturally, he didn't complain, he did this, and he had to have the consciousness of pulling the knife edge for the main officer.
As for this second benefit, that is, this can save the dignity of Zhang Ju and his Zhuge Jue.
If you say it directly, then this thing will be done, in case Zhuge Jue does not agree, it will make the scene ugly. One of them is the county guard of Taishan, the other is the county guard of Taishan, with a rank of 2,000 stones, and the other is a county of Taishan, with a rank of 600 stones, which is not good to make it too ugly.
Although he was too guarded by Zhang Ju to deal with Zhuge Jue in private, there were not only the incompatibility between the two people, but also the reason for the system. In the Han family system, most of the subordinate officials of a county are recruited by Taishou, but only the county is appointed by the central government, how can this be in the same pot with Taishou. But then again, generally ambitious people would rather be a county magistrate in the county than a county magistrate. The county magistrate is big, that's called male flying, and what is the county leader, that's making people small, that's called sheering.
Big husband, An can be lurking!
But this Zhuge Jue is not a lord who is willing to lie in wait, this thing is not easy to do. It was with such apprehension that Bian Wei came to Zhuge Jue's office.
