Ye Xiaotian said: "The first thing, and the top priority, is to appease the families of those who died. After all, the government will give them an explanation, but I promised them that I will give them an explanation within three days before they are willing to leave. of."
Hearing this, Hua Qingfeng frowned again, let out a long sigh, and said weakly: "Ye Dianshi, the yamen has no money..."
When Ye Xiaotian heard that he was going to cry poor again, he couldn't help frowning, and said: "My lord, this move is related to the support of the people. Even if other funds are squeezed, this matter must be resolved first! Of course they can't do it like a lion, but The necessary compensation must not be less.”
Hua Qingfeng faltered and said: "This... you don't know something. Now the county's finances are all in the hands of Xu Xiancheng, and this county... this county has nothing... Now it is no different if you want to ask Xu Xiancheng for money. To seek food with tigers..."
Ye Xiaotian was stunned when he heard that, he looked at Hua Qingfeng, then at Mrs. Ya, the moment Mrs. Ya and Ye Xiaotian met, they lowered their eyelids, their long eyelashes flickered slightly, and there was a hint of sadness, helplessness and resentment in their eyes. Bitter undertones.
An ominous premonition floated in Ye Xiaotian's heart: "The magistrate of Hua County...wouldn't hand over power so thoroughly?"
Hua Qingfeng explained embarrassingly: "Ye Dianshi, once the war in Yunnan started, a large amount of military funds had to be transported through the county. Xu Xiancheng volunteered to assume the responsibility of guaranteeing post road transportation. The county felt that Xu Xiancheng was the first It is only natural for the county deputy to come forward to take on the important task.
If the county assumes this responsibility, of course there is nothing wrong with it. I'm afraid that Xu Xiancheng and the king's master will be dissatisfied. , weighing the two, the county had no choice but to agree.
Unexpectedly, because of this, Xu Xiancheng gradually grasped the power of personnel transfer, and then he would intervene in finance. Send people to supervise, and it is necessary to ensure that the post road is smooth in this county. This county... this county can only focus on the overall situation... "
Ye Xiaotian was speechless after listening for a long time, the most important powers of a chief official are personnel power and financial power, if these two powers are let go, it's no wonder people don't want to occupy the magpie's nest. Huazhi County is really a model of governance by hanging, and governance by doing nothing, the best! It's the best!
Ye Xiaotian asked angrily: "Your Majesty heard that you have read a lot of books, but I don't know if you have heard the story of Dayu's flood control?"
Hua Qingfeng was stunned, and said: "Ye Dianshi is talking about the allusion of going through the house three times but not entering?"
Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes, and said: "In the past, Dayu used the excuse of water control to gradually control manpower, material resources and finances, and finally emptied Emperor Shun, forced him to sit in his place, and exiled him to the wilderness of Cangwu. ended up dying there."
A blush of annoyance floated on Hua Qingfeng's face, and he retorted: "That's all unofficial history rumors, not official history books, so it's not credible."
Ye Xiaotian said coldly: "My lord, you are repeating unofficial stories. As for what the sage said, ha! haha..."
Seeing that the two were arguing, Su Ya hurriedly interjected: "Master, what Ye Dianshi said is true, the families of the victims must be compensated as soon as possible. As for the compensation, it can be paid in the name of the county government, and the concubine can pay in advance , the most urgent task is to find a way to get back the master's financial and personnel rights as soon as possible."
Ye Xiaotian glanced at Mrs. Ya, a little surprised and admiring, what money can Su Ya have to pay in advance? The magistrate of Hua County has been involved in this role, and the monthly money given to his wife is probably not much, and the only thing Madam Ya can use is her dowry.
A woman's dowry is accompanied by her natal family, and her husband's family and her husband have no right to use it. A woman's private money is an important guarantee for her after marriage, and now she has used her own savings. It is true that "a good man has no good wife, Lai Han marries a flower branch", Hua Shengui actually married such a virtuous and good wife.
Hua Zhixian said to Mrs. Ya both gratefully and ashamedly: "Ma'am, the fool is incompetent, and I have troubled you."
Mrs. Ya scolded: "Husband and wife are supposed to love each other and share weal and woe, so why should the master say things that are out of sight?"
Ye Xiaotian praised: "What Madam said is very true. If Madam can pay the money to appease the family members of the victims, it will settle the hearts of the servants. When the county has money, it will be returned to Madam. This matter is about The hearts of the people are against each other, and we have to do it. As for the second matter, as long as we do it, we will be able to take back the personnel and financial rights that should be held by the county venerable as Madam said!"
Hua Qingfeng cheered up, and hurriedly said: "What clever plan does Ye Dianshi have, please tell me quickly!"
Ye Xiaotian said: "The people complained a lot, the main reason is not because of the collapse of the post road. The mountain road is very dangerous, and accidents are inevitable. In order to open up this post road, I don't know how many people were killed or injured. Now the road guards are also the same. In this way, besides the urgent battle ahead and the frequent maintenance of post roads, there can be no delays regardless of wind and rain, and accidents are even more common.
The common people are angry that due to the chaotic management of the household department booklet, the selection of conscripts is improper. Some people have served more than the number of times they should have served this year, while some have been ignored and have been staying at home peacefully. Although there is no direct relationship between the choice of the servant and the accident, we cannot ask the family members of the deceased in grief to think rationally about the problem. Therefore, the relevant responsible persons must be severely punished in order to quell public anger. "
Hua Qingfeng's face became serious, and he said, "Then, what does Ye Dianshi mean?"
Ye Xiaotian's face turned cold, and he said: "All the subordinate staff of the household department will be punished, at least half a year's salary! Li Yuncong, who is the official of the household department, must be dismissed from his position. And the person in charge of the household department is the master Wang, my lord must report The chief secretary's office impeached him. And..."
Speaking of this, Hua Zhixian's face was already extremely ugly, and he was even more frightened when he heard that there was still more, but Ye Xiaotian didn't care, and continued: "The conscript has made a mistake, does Xu County Cheng know? Huke provided the books to find people, and he didn't pay much attention to them, but when these wrongly selected servants were brought to the post road, wouldn't they appeal to Xu Xiancheng who was guarding there
If they have complained, but Xu Xiancheng neither reported to you, nor corrected the mistakes in time, and when an accident happened, but put the responsibility on the adults, then Xu Xiancheng will be to blame. Once the time is found out, it will also be played and engraved. And there is the adult yourself..."
Hua Qingfeng swallowed hard and said, "What's wrong with this county?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Your Excellency, as the official seal of a county, it is natural to be blamed for these problems in the jurisdiction. Your Excellency should take the initiative to write a letter of self-impeachment and plead guilty to the court. At the same time, it is stated that in order to atone for the crime, he will immediately go to the post road to preside over the repairs. matter!"
Mrs. Ya was already beaming when she heard this, and praised excitedly: "Good! In this way, even cutting and beating, not only weakened the prestige of Xu County Chancellor and Master Wang, but also captured the power of personnel and finance. In the hand, kill two birds with one stone, what a clever plan!"
Mrs. Ya excitedly looked at Hua Zhixian, and was startled when she saw Hua Zhixian's expression. There was no joy on Hua Zhixian's face, but a worried look. Su Ya said strangely: "Master, do you think there is something wrong?"
The magistrate of Hua County said with a distressed expression: "Ye Dianshi, if something like this happened, it's all right to punish the first responders of the Huke. It's just that when the yamen is employing people, if the first cadres of the Huke feel resentful over this, they will be passive and sabotage their work." , affecting the allocation of servants, it may affect the overall situation."
Ye Xiaotian frowned impatiently, what the hell, he was afraid of wolves and tigers later, he has become a loner, and he still keeps saying that the overall situation is the most important thing, if he is really dedicated to the public, he would rather lose his personal power, Ye Xiaotian doesn't think so, at least he will Respect his character. But this flower tortoise is obviously duplicity, to put it bluntly, it is afraid of causing trouble.
Hua Qingfeng was still explaining very seriously: "Furthermore, Li Yuncong was promoted to the household department official after the road disaster happened, and this responsibility cannot be borne by him anyway, so it would be unreasonable to dismiss him from his position. As for Master Wang and Xu County Cheng, impeachment of colleagues should be done with caution, once the superiors know that our Hu County officials are at odds, it may not be a good thing to expose their ugliness."
Ye Xiaotian couldn't bear it any longer, and said: "My lord, blindly showing kindness will only make people feel that you are weak and deceitful. Sometimes it is more important to give power than to give kindness. Give kindness and give it together. The use of it is wonderful. It's all about being single-minded, now is the time for adults to show their prestige.
As for Li Yuncong, the important thing is not when he became the official of the household department, but how to appease the public's grievances and anger. Is it possible that we have to track down who has been in charge of the official department over the years and seek responsibility one by one
Maybe even the magistrate of Meng County, who has been turned into a dry bone, has to bear most of the responsibility. We have to plan his grave and dig him out to plead guilty to the people? As for the former household department official, who has already been dismissed because of this matter, how to punish him again? What we need now is an attitude. If the adults feel that Li Yuncong has been wronged, he will recover after the situation calms down. "
Hua Qingfeng didn't listen to Ye Xiaotian's analysis of the internal interests at all, and just thought: "Hmph! You are talking about hype, isn't it because Li Yuncong followed Xu Boyi, and you want to show him something powerful? But you use this county as your shield, and wants me to use it for you."
Ye Xiaotian didn't know what Hua Qingfeng was thinking at this moment, and said again: "What are the colleagues in the car, is there any friendship between the adults, Xu Xiancheng, and Wang Zhushu? When the official was in the capital, he once heard It is said that the governor and governor of a province impeached each other, but the whole court did not feel that they were at odds with each other and exposed their faults, but only thought that they were dedicated to the public, my lord, it is time to use strong medicine."
Hua Qingfeng shook her head again and again, saying: "This move is too radical, too radical, it should be done slowly."
Ye Xiaotian gradually got a little annoyed, and said in a more emphatic tone: "My lord, only when rewards and punishments are clearly defined can you make your subordinates respect and obey! Besides, the power of personnel and finance is now under Xu Boyi's control. Your lord will not take advantage of this opportunity to use thunderous means, and be decisive." How long will it take to get back the power that should belong to you, my lord?"
Hua Qingfeng was in a state of confusion. She wanted to follow Ye Xiaotian's words, punish Xu Boyi and others resolutely, and get back her own power, but she also worried about the reaction of the Huke and others, and was worried about the counterattack of Xu Boyi and Master Wang. He was afraid that after the impeachment of Xu Boyi and Wang Ning, these two people would also write a letter to impeach him, which might leave a bad impression in the mind of the boss. All kinds of thoughts make him look forward and backward, and it is always difficult to make a decision.
Seeing that her husband hesitated, Su Ya felt angry and impatient, and couldn't help urging: "Master, what Ye Dianshi said is very reasonable! It should be broken, but it will cause chaos. It's time to use the thunderbolt method to set things right. !"
Hua Qingfeng said irritably: "A woman's opinion! Don't bother with the affairs of the county government."
Su Ya was so angry that she sat down resentfully and remained silent.
Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, you want me to be Kong Ming, yes! I will give you advice. You want me to be the general of the five tigers, that's okay too! I will throw down the goose feather fan, and I will catch you!" Qizhang Ba Snake Spear went into battle shirtless, but now it's time for Liu Bei Jiangdong to marry his wife, you can't ask an official to enter the bridal chamber for you, can you?"
Ye Xiaotian used this allusion, the original intention was to say, I can do it for you, giving advice and charging into traps, but sometimes you also need to stand in front of the stage, the big-eared thief usually only cries, but he needs to come forward But never cowardly.
However, if Ye Xiaotian said these sarcastic words in front of Mrs. Ya, although it would not make Mrs. Ya think too much, it would inevitably embarrass her. Mrs. Ya glared at Ye Xiaotian, her face was slightly hot, and a touch of rouge seemed to be applied on her fat-like dimple, making her white and rosy, more and more charming.
