Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 77: There is dust on the peak

Views:

While Zhang Wangge's master family and the dealers of Sanjiazhuangzi were thinking of their own, the magistrate Cheng of Sanshui County's Yamen was also making urgent arrangements.

The person who checked the disaster situation from the top said that it was noon, and before noon, the county magistrate Cheng led a group of people in the yamen to greet him earlier. Compared with the previous meeting, the county magistrate Cheng was much more relieved. , At least know who is here this time, and at the same time, I am not afraid of any internal problems.

After getting three catties of soaked fungus, Zhao Xiang is no longer as rigid as he used to be. When he is fine, he will come to order some carrots. When making fungus fried pork slices, put it in for his daughter to eat. See how much her daughter can After eating some food, thinking that there was nothing in Zhangjiazhuang, they helped conceal it together.

After waiting less than half an hour, the people came this time, much earlier than last time.

"Come, here, my uncle is here." Zhou Xihu also joined the welcoming team this time, and he cried out excitedly when he saw the smoke and dust appearing there from a distance.

Everyone around him thinks that he is doing it wrong, and even hopes that he can be happier, which shows that he and his uncle have a good relationship, and the relationship is good, so the yamen can spend less energy.

As the smoke and dust got closer, the cars in the team were also revealed. There were a lot of people coming. They looked very mighty one by one, but when you look closely, you can find that this time, not only were they sent from the capital. A person who specializes in checking things also brought some dudes with him.

"We have to spend more money to entertain." Many people thought so in their hearts, and one of the officials said something.

"Shut up, don't talk nonsense. This shows that the people above attach importance to our Sanshui County. Where can the dry wells come out of water during drought?"

The county magistrate Cheng gave the servant a fierce look, and whispered there, everyone around him made such an expression, but he knew in his heart that everything was made from the place in Zhangjiazhuang. Although I don't know what method they used, the facts are indisputable.

"The officer did not Shi Yuanying, and I ask you to forgive me." Waiting for the car to stop at the place, the county magistrate Cheng walked over and said and saluted.

The other people in the yamen were standing behind and saluting, and it was not their turn to speak at this time.

Zhou Xihu wanted to speak several times, but he was holding back. Now if he speaks out, not only will he not be praised by his uncle, but he will probably be scolded for not knowing the truth.

"Well, county magistrate Cheng has worked hard, it's okay, I just arrived, come here, county magistrate Cheng, this officer will introduce to you, this is the minister of the Ministry of Industry and the minister of the Ministry of ethics Shen."

Yuzhou Sicang joined the army and Zhou You got out of the car first, and after waiting for the people in the car behind to get off, he brought the county magistrate Cheng to introduce him. As for the others, he didn't say much, just came to play, one It depends on where you are at home to get here.

The county magistrate Cheng was stunned when he heard Zhou Yu’s introduction. He couldn’t think of it. He said that he had sent a random person to him. Now there are two servants, one from the Ministry of Engineering and the other from the Ministry of Rites. He knew the role of the two people. The Ministry of Engineering was responsible for water conservancy and other things, and the Ministry of Etiquette was responsible for the auspiciousness.

The two of them were supposed to be fine, but their grades were too high. Which servant would run down when he was okay, and there were more drought-affected places. Could it be possible to get so many servants to go everywhere? What's more, these two people didn't come down to the state for the first time, but they went straight to the county.

Thinking of this in his heart, County Madam Cheng did not dare to hesitate or neglect, and stepped forward to meet one by one, Shi Lang Wei and Shi Lang Shen were quite polite, they did not ignore the people, and nodded slightly, even if they had said hello. This is a fourth-rank official, who would not easily go to the place. If he could come this time, it would give Sanshui County a great face.

"Cheng County Order, let’s put aside other things for the time being. Let me first lead me to the well where the water came out. I didn’t expect that auspiciousness came out of Sanshui County during this severe drought. Let me take care of it. Many people are happy about it."

Zhou Xihu's uncle Zhou Su smiled and said to the county magistrate Cheng, and at the same time glanced at his nephew who was showing excitement beside him.

When the county magistrate Cheng heard these words, he paused for a while. He is not a young man who doesn't understand much. From these words, he already knows that there is auspiciousness in his own place, even if the state has gained a lot of benefits. My own credit will not be small.

These are not the most important ones. The most important thing is that this auspicious is very important to the people above. Not only do people in the neighboring state know, but their attitude is not very good. It is said that many people are happy for auspicious, it is better to say Those people think that Sanshui County is deceiving people.

Otherwise, their states and counties have encountered drought, and there is still no auspiciousness, which can only show that they have not done well for the local people.

The county magistrate Cheng understood that Zhou Xihu's uncle said hello in advance, and asked him to make arrangements so that he wouldn't be able to keep anyone out of the auspicious well.

With this in mind, the county magistrate Cheng said gratefully: "Everyone, when you come here, you must have a look at Xiangrui first. Please here, that Xiangrui is in the county seat."

While speaking, he led in front, the others who should get in the car, the ones who should be walking still walk, and walked toward the well.

Zhou Yu was relieved when he was down. He originally thought that Xiangrui here had been faked. Seeing that Majesty Cheng was so sure, he didn't have any worries anymore.

When he got into the car, he glanced at his nephew, Zhou Xihu became smart at this time, and said to the side: "Sicang joined the army, the younger one is the one who makes the quyuan plough. I want to tell you something important. "

He didn't care about others when he said something, and he followed his uncle directly into the car. People who didn't know his identity thought he was a little overstepped. People who knew his identity didn't have any expressions. Uncles and nephews have something to say, it's hard to be true. Stop here

This time, county magistrate Cheng didn't ride the car alone, and he called the master book. He waited for the team to slowly move towards that side before saying to the master book: "Ki Fang, what do you think of this matter? "

The main book, Zhao Xiang, did not make the appearance of his sullen face and said nothing, and the corners of his mouth moved and said, "My lord, these people are strange. Guan Xiangrui's person and a water conservancy person, these three people basically accounted for everything.

It looks like this, but there is another point, that is, why no longer send a tax official from the top, but let the state come out? There are already two fourth-rank waiters here, and there will be no difference. If that is the case, it can only be said that Zhou Zhong has worked hard this time.

This time, the state didn’t want to make any mistakes in this matter. It seemed that it was going to reduce the burden on Sanshui County. With Mrs. Zhou, how about taxation? "

"Oh? You mean I should have more benefits this time? Report the disaster more heavier?" County Madam Cheng also had his own plan, but he just wanted to listen to others' judgments. Listening to Zhao Xiang's words, I felt like him. It coincided with each other, and then asked.

However, Zhao Xiang didn't plan to make such a plan at all. He shook his head and said, "My lord, Zhou Zhong really thinks that way, but the official thinks that it is better to help Zhou Zhong to do something this time. Zhangjiazhuang has fungus. Well, the harvest in the county will definitely decrease this time.

But the taxation does not allow us to directly pay the grain. The grain is distributed to the local government. As the official salary, if the food is not enough, you can use other coins and silk to exchange the salary for the official. The money sent to the government is usually money.

This year’s government is thinking about it. This year’s severe drought is a foregone conclusion. We usually hand in money and silk. This year we should do the opposite. If we hand in the grain, the grain will not be enough for the county to use. Then use it. If the money comes to buy grain from outside, let the Zhangjiazhuangzi pay the money. If you lose the part, one thousand five hundred taels of silver should be enough, up to two thousand taels of silver. "

Director Zhao Xiang gritted his teeth and persuaded him. This time he knew Zhang’s Zhuangzi would lose a lot of money, but there was no way. At this time, he and the county magistrate can only rise up. Others can’t move. If enough food is delivered, there will be more people able to move.

Waiting for the county magistrate and oneself to rise up, the people below can also directly go up to these two positions. Sanshui County is still in the hands of its own people and can take good care of Zhangjiazhuangzi. Zhangjiazhuangzi has so many fungus, Not at this time, when will you wait

The county magistrate Cheng also understood what he meant, and nodded slightly, "That's right, this drought, not only is there less food, but also other places around there will be less fungus. Zhangjiazhuang can sell a lot of money, but are they willing? They have already spent a lot of money, and the people in the yamen eat and drink but they often take it from there."

"What the adults are worried about is, I might as well send someone to tell them. Then, I will wait for the ascent. There are people on it, and the place is still ours. Zhangjiazhuang doesn't say it is a little food, even if I kill people. It's not an ordinary method to stop him from being an expert on Zhuangzi."

Zhao Xiang also knew that ordinary people wouldn't agree with it, but Zhangjiazhuang was average? It’s always hard to figure out what you do there, but every time you get a lot of benefits.

"Alright, then try, it won't work, let them put out a little less." Cheng County magistrate thinks this is the best way, there is no harm in trying it, if it succeeds, one's own can be promoted. , Sanshui County is also under its control.

The two have settled, and Zhou Xihu over there is also showing off with his uncle, telling the money he has made during this time.
