Chapter 5 Sand in Relief Grains? Is this prefectural order still an individual?
Outside the city of Shanghai.
When Zhu Yuanzhang rushed to the place to help the displaced people, he saw that the displaced people were lined up in several lines, waiting to receive the relief porridge.
Seeing this appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was relieved of most of it.
As long as Li Jin is really doing practical things for the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that Li Jin is a good official.
Before coming, Zhu Yuanzhang had been worried that Li Jin was playing tricks and fiddling with gimmicks.
The aim was to attract displaced people, but there was not enough food to provide for them.
If this is really the case, then Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely slaughter Li Jin, no matter how prosperous he will be in Shanghai County.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang knows that this kind of official who manipulates the people's hearts will kill many innocent people.
"Sister, let's not mention how happy we are to see these people being able to eat a full meal here."
Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, saw the people who were relieved one by one, and said affectionately to Queen Ma:
"If we could meet an official like Li Jin who loves the people like a son, we would definitely not rebel."
These words fell into the ears of Zhu Di and Zhu Biao, as if they were a fantasy.
Can a bowl of rice solve a future emperor? It's incredible.
But Queen Ma and Liu Bowen can understand Zhu Yuanzhang's feelings.
They all survived that desperate era, and naturally knew how cruel it would be at that time.
"Let's go, let's go and see if these rice porridges can fill our stomachs."
Zhu Yuanzhang secretly wiped his eyes, and pretended to be a heroic Queen Chongma and said.
Queen Ma accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang forward, they wanted to see if Li Jin's relief porridge would starve to death.
When the two walked to the porridge shed, they saw that the rice porridge in the pot was very sticky.
However, what puzzled the two was that there were two chopsticks in the pot, which looked very weird.
Queen Ma couldn't help it, and asked the messenger who was serving porridge to the victims:
"Excuse me, why do you still have two chopsticks in this pot?"
"This is the rule of our county magistrate, the porridge cooked with relief grain must be inserted without chopsticks, otherwise it will be punished by the county magistrate."
The man's answer was very casual, as if it were taken for granted.
"Besides, if you put chopsticks in and it falls, is it still called rice porridge? It can only be called clear soup, and it will starve people to death. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied after hearing this, and praised:
"Your county magistrate is really a good official."
The errand who cooked suddenly held his head high and said with great vigour:
"That is, our county order is the best county order in the world."
Queen Ma couldn't help but laugh when he looked like this.
Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang walked back with Queen Ma satisfied.
"It seems that this Li Jin is really a good official who loves the people like a son."
When the two of them walked back, they saw a victim dressed as a civilian, also carrying a large bowl.
There is a large bowl of rice porridge in the bowl, which looks full.
But the man didn't drink it immediately, but picked something there with chopsticks.
As a result, he picked it many times, and the man was also annoyed, so he put the bowl directly on the ground and muttered:
"It's all sand, and the dogs don't eat it, so how can I eat it?"
With that, he left indignantly.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when he saw this scene.
He hurried over to the bowl that the man had taken and carefully turned it over.
I want to see such a big bowl of rice porridge, why did the man waste it like this?
After the bowl was turned over, Zhu Yuanzhang found the clue.
In this poured rice porridge, there are large and small yellow particles.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care how dirty the ground was, so he directly reached out and took out a slightly larger yellow particle from the rice porridge.
Put it in front of your eyes and look at it carefully.
After looking at it for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang's face suddenly turned red, and the green tendons on his head beat violently.
A voice of gnashing teeth came from Zhu Yuanzhang's throat:
"Li Jin, a dog thief, actually mixed sand into rice porridge!!"
"Is he still a human being? This dog officer, we're going to kill him!! ”
The deep voice contained Zhu Yuanzhang's skyrocketing anger, and Queen Ma looked at the rice porridge mixed with sand and gravel on the ground, and also fell silent.
Zhu Di and the others also saw that there was something wrong with Zhu Yuanzhang, and hurriedly came forward to check.
After hearing Queen Ma's narration of the matter, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di were both indignant, feeling that they had misjudged Li Jin.
After all, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di grew up in the palace, and it is really appalling to let the people eat sand.
They blamed Li Jin one after another, and asked Zhu Yuanzhang to correct Li Jin on the spot.
Only Liu Bowen frowned, thinking that things were not simple, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter may not be so simple, so it's better for us to ask in person."
Zhu Yuanzhang was still very annoyed when he heard Liu Bowen's admonition, he felt that he had been deceived by Li Jinzhi.
This made him even more resentful of Li Jin, but he still followed Liu Bowen's advice and said coldly:
"Let's see, what does this Li Jin have to say?"
"Swing the car, let's look good today and know the true face of this dog official!"
Liu Bowen stopped him by saying:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's better to hide his identity and go to the county government."
"Only in this way can the emperor see the most real Li Jin."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, thinking that what Liu Bowen said was reasonable.
So he asked Queen Ma and Liu Bowen to accompany him, and they would meet this Li Jin for a while.
.....
The county government of Shanghu County is located on the edge of the county seat of Shanghu County.
Zhu Yuanzhang soon inquired about the location of the county office, and then Zhu Yuanzhang took Queen Ma and Liu Bowen to the outside of the county office.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked the guards to go and report.
The guard stepped forward to communicate with the official at the door, but as if he had received a great insult, the whole person argued with the other party with a red face and a thick neck.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly stepped forward to ask the reason.
"Master, these officials won't let me wait in."
Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly puzzled and asked:
"What's wrong? Could it be that if we want to see the county honor, won't we let them in? ”
The official looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's menacing appearance, but he was not afraid, but mocked:
"It's not that I won't let you in, but I want to see our county lord and give you money!!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately felt his anger and blood surge, and this official dared to openly ask for money.
"Bastard, our Ming Dynasty has not seen a precedent for the county order to give money first, is it not possible that your county order is the God of Wealth?"
"You are right in this sentence, my county order is the God of Wealth, and there is no one who has seen my county order who will not get rich."
