Chapter 117: The wisdom of the county master
The same is true of war, it is not as simple as rushing up with a weapon, there is also a lot of knowledge in it
Qian Ruxue, who was already smart, became more and more excited the more she studied, and the more she studied, the more excited she became, and she felt that she had opened up a new world
After all, in the Qian family, she was just a lady, and she studied women's clothing and female popularity, but this does not mean that Qian Ruxue is very stupid.
If he was stupid or not smart, how could he help Ye Tian establish a huge business kingdom in the later stage and become a famous female shopkeeper.
"It's okay, it's okay, let him learn, I calculate that it won't be long before Ye Tian arrives in Antai County, when the time comes, as long as the soldiers meet, the two of them look at the eyes of the mung bean and look at the object, not only can I be killed, Qian Ruxue will definitely follow Ye Tian, when the time comes, I don't have to rush to the capital, I must seize this opportunity"
Chen Zhang's eyes rolled carefully, and when he found that the date was the closest, he immediately stood up and greeted Zhao Dachun
"Zhao Dachun, gather all the soldiers immediately, let's go to Antai County, and in a few days we will set up camp in Antai County."
Zhao Dachun was stunned and nodded hurriedly, feeling a little strange, the lord has not taken the initiative to attack any county seat, basically they led the troops to attack, and today the lord actually asked to take the initiative to attack Antai County.
What does this mean
This shows that the lord is full of fighting spirit
Sure enough, after having a mastermother, the lord becomes high-spirited, and women are the catalyst for men.
Zhao Dachun thought happily, and immediately beckoned, and the soldiers gathered and quickly headed towards Antai County.
Antai County is located in the southeast of Dongshan Road, Anji Mansion is not too far, through Antai County you can reach Anji Mansion, through Anji Mansion you can reach Zhongzhou in the Divine Grace Continent that is also the place where the capital is located, in other words, as long as you pass through Antai County, the road after that can almost be flat.
Antai County is located in the southeast of Dongshan Road and has long been a coal producer.
Antai County has a famous coal mine and a large number of coal resources, and it is precisely because of this coal resource that the economy of Antai County has developed well.
The coal they mined would be made into very fine coal for the nobles, and some of the crushed coal would also be used by ordinary households
In addition to the county government, the entire Antai County is also maintained by major families, the largest of which is Anfu.
The An family is in charge of almost 80% of the coal business in Antai County, and all the coal mines are owned by the An family, and the An family also makes a lot of money.
But this does not mean that the lives of ordinary people in Antai County have become quite good, or even more miserable than before, after all, coal is theirs for the An family. It's all their workers, just earning a pittance wage
.. It depends on their mood that the An family will not be kind enough to raise the wages of workers because they have made more money in the coal business, nor will they pity the poor lonely old man who was kicked out on the side of the road because of a work-related injury because of his own wealth
Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, which is vividly displayed in Antai County.
The magistrate of Antai County stood aside respectfully, and the young maid on the side carefully served tea.
In front of him is the housekeeper of the An family, and there is a way to be a third-grade official in front of the prime minister's door, and he does not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha
The housekeeper of the An family is actually an unpopular person, but what he represents behind him is the An family
Even the county master did not dare to have any ambiguity and neglect
.. Not because of anything else, just because the An family is in charge of the economic resources of the coal mining business in the entire Antai County, and even almost everyone in the yamen has been bought by the An family.
There is no way, these servants have lived in Antai County for generations, and if you want to live in Antai County, you can't escape the control of Anjia.
As for the fact that these lords are indeed officials, so what?
When the three years come, they will leave immediately, and these servants still need to beg for a living here
The truth that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake is vividly displayed in Antai County.
The housekeeper of the An family picked up the tea, took a sip lightly, glanced at the county master on the side, and had a proud smile on the corner of his mouth
Even if it is the county lord of the imperial court, what can he do.
In this Antai County, you have to obediently bow down and call yourself a minister, the previous governors refused to listen to the words of the head of the family in an official tone, but as a result, one drowned in the river, and the other was robbed and killed by robbers halfway, but the result was just reported to the court and re-sent this county master.
The first thing that the county lord first did when he arrived in Antai County was to visit Anjia, and his posture was quite low, which made the head of the Anjia family very satisfied, and he had always respected each other
After all, the An family does need an obedient county master. "Steward An doesn't know what to do with this coming"
The county magistrate smiled hehe, and did not feel any dissatisfaction at all because he was slighted and neglected.
"Lord County Lord, you also know that my An family is in charge of all the coal mines in the entire Antai County, and I have recently sold some things."
As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket from the side and handed it over slowly. "There are a few unsightly cheap embryos who were crushed to death by mistake when they were mining, and their families are making trouble, these cheap embryos are already worthy of them when they give them jobs, and they even have to borrow money to make trouble, but they are just driven away and beaten away, they should come to report to the official first, I believe that the county master should be able to be impartial. Law enforcement. ”
The county magistrate of Antai County quietly received the silver ticket in his hand, glanced at the number on the silver ticket, his eyes were shining with gold, and he nodded slightly
"Anjia is the leading home of Antai County, the home of goodness, building roads, building bridges to save the people from fire and water, naturally will not do the kind of thing that deceives the good and fears the evil, and bullies the good and the bullying women. It seems that these untouchables want to take the opportunity to blackmail, you can rest assured, as the magistrate of Antai County, I will naturally enforce the law impartially, and will not let any of the people succeed, destroy the peace of Antai County, and destroy the reputation of the An family. ”
"Okay, good, it's great if Lord Zhixian has what you say."
Steward An nodded with satisfaction, this magistrate is really obedient
It's a little bigger, but so what?
There is nothing else to settle down, but there is a lot of money.
After quickly arranging things, the butler turned and left.
The magistrate of Antai County picked up the silver ticket and looked at it carefully, put it on his nose and sniffed it, with an excited look on his face
The master on the side walked over respectfully, with some indignation
"Master Zhixian, this person who has settled down is so arrogant, a mere housekeeper dares to shout at you, it's just that"
"Shut up"
The county magistrate turned his head violently, slapped the master's face, and snorted coldly
"In this case, I don't want you to say it, don't forget that the wall has ears, don't rely on me if you want to die"
The master's face was full of grief and indignation, and tears were about to flow down
There are Taoist priests. The king humiliated his ministers to death, but he felt worthless for his county master
But the county magistrate, who looked angry, finally swallowed all the words in his stomach, lowered his head and said
"I see, sir."
The county lord nodded with satisfaction, looked around carefully, and gritted his teeth
"I know what you're worried about, you feel dissatisfied, but you don't want to think about what kind of place this is, this is Antai County, how did the first few magistrates die? Don't you count in your heart? Don't say it's you and me, do you know how many An Jia's eyeliners are here? If it is passed on to An's family, the two of us are not familiar with each other here, and we don't know what will happen when we die. ”
The master shuddered, they had already investigated everything in Antai County before they came, otherwise they would not have gone to Anjia in the first place
It's just that now that he has gained a firm foothold, some of the master's careful thoughts have begun to turn
"I understand, master, you still think carefully, I'm just a little unwilling, after all, you are the first class sent by the court of the entire Antai County, and you are the leader of the entire Antai County."
The county magistrate snorted coldly
"Of course I'm the number one, but you should also know the truth that the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, now that the Dachang Empire is in turmoil, even the capital is besieged by the Liukou, and now the armies of all parties are still going to the capital to rescue, do you think that in this case, something happened to Antai County, and the imperial court will take care of it? It won't care at all, let alone that. Three years of Qingzhi County, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, thousands of miles of officials are only for money, we are seeking wealth, and we don't really want to do anything? As long as the settlement family has enough money, what can they do for them? ”
"In addition, after three years, as long as the tax of the Antai family is collected normally, and I am excellent, as soon as I turn around, I will be able to rise, and the money will have to be used to deal with the above, and then I will be able to leave this broken Antai County, in contrast, why should I fight with the Antai County here, it is not worth it at all, master, I have to look farther."
The magistrate of Antai County patted his master on the shoulder and said earnestly
Obviously, in his concept, Qianli is an official only for the sake of wealth for the people, and it is his business to live or die.
"The old man is wise, the old man is wise"
The master hurriedly bent down, his face full of admiration
No wonder the other party was able to be admitted to the champion and become the county master, and he could only be a master, this is the gap.
Soon someone in front of the yamen came to beat the drum and voice the grievances, and the officials came to report.
The county magistrate tidied up his clothes, put on his official robe and started to open the hall
Soon the officials on both sides stood up, holding the killing rod and shouting might.
The poor woman and the old man carried one corpse after another and cried
The thing is very simple, that is, their family worked in the coal mine, but they suffered a landslide and died, but the An family determined that this was their own improper operation, and they did not pay a penny, and even asked them to compensate for the loss of not missing work today
In the end, although compensation was given, it was only a few taels of broken silver, and it was impossible to make the orphans and widows live.
The county magistrate patted Jin Tangmu heavily, heard the following words, and then pretended to send the people of the An family to come over for verification, and finally patted the wooden road
"These Diao people in front of them are unreasonable, due to the mistakes caused by their own improper operation, they have nothing to do with the An family, the An family has been in the humanitarian compensation situation, and has done its duty, and you are trying to blackmail and extort with the lives of your family, and now order them all to go back, otherwise each will be hit with 80 boards."
