There has always been a saying among the people that "a city in Huzhou is not as big as half a town in Nanxun". The elegant and beautiful scenery of Nanxun, like an elegant and beautiful lady, is always unforgettable.
Nowadays, Nanxun has also experienced the torment of heavy rains and floods, but after all, our lady is our lady. Although she has suffered from abuse and her face is pale, her alluring charm has not diminished a bit.
Accompanied by Fu Sheng, the magistrate of Wucheng County, Xia Xun first arrived at Nanxun, and then at the villages below the town.
Before Xia Xun came, Wucheng County Magistrate Fu Sheng knew that the magistrate had been tricked, so he was trembling with fear when he saw Xia Xun, fearing that something would go wrong. Naturally, he did not dare to let the extravagant pomp go again. Before Magistrate Fu left,
When I was there, I deliberately changed into a wrinkled official uniform that was old and new, and deliberately rubbed some mud on the hem of the official uniform by the pond at home.
Wucheng County is a prosperous place. In order to securely be an official here, County Magistrate Fu often fawns over Chang Yinglin. It is also common for him to give money to women. But those who flatter and curry favor with superior officials are not necessarily corrupt officials.
, Magistrate Fu still cherishes the local area. He studied hard for ten years, became a Jinshi in high school, and became a seventh-rank official in Wucheng County. He also wanted to achieve some political achievements.
However, in an extremely complicated place like officialdom, how can you just act on your heart? Hai Rui was spotless, with a clear name on his sleeves, and accomplished nothing for the country and the people. Qi Jiguang bribed and sent beautiful women, and he was flattering and flattering.
However, he did great things and was a real national hero.
Human nature is very complex. Only in the eyes of those with very simple thinking will they think that black is black and white is white. A good official must have no shortcomings and a weak official must have no merit. Living in a complex environment, sometimes in order to do things,
In order to protect yourself, you have to do something against your will.
Fu Sheng is such a person. Facing a black-hearted Shangguan, if he wants to keep his official position, he has to do something to suit his superiors. However, for the local people, he still does his best within his own ability.
He fulfilled his duty as an official. However, he did not hesitate to use some scheming methods.
Xia Xun did not make things difficult for him. Seeing that Wucheng County had taken in many victims, Magistrate Fu also called on the local gentry to come forward and set up many porridge sheds to help the people. He was careful this time and checked carefully. It was indeed not a face-saving project.
His performance was quite recognized. Accompanied by Magistrate Fu, Xia Xun only stopped briefly in Nanxun and then began to inspect the villages and towns below.
Some villages and towns were seriously affected by the disaster. In some villages and towns, the floods have receded. Local authorities are cleaning up the mud, cremating corpses, and using some simple methods to disinfect and prevent epidemics. These are the experiences that people have learned over thousands of years.
The ancients did not know anything about post-disaster epidemic prevention. In many cases, post-disaster epidemics occurred not because they did not understand the knowledge, but because they did not have the corresponding conditions. Traveling thousands of miles away, they could not find a stick of firewood or an iron pot.
When his hands are empty and his throat is smoking, even if he knows that drinking boiled water is better than cold water, what is the use? When there are rotting human and animal corpses everywhere, and when those who are lucky enough to survive are shaking when walking, even if he knows that they should be cremated or
Who can go deep into the disaster area to bury corpses to prevent plague?
Fortunately, the area in eastern Zhejiang is one of the richest places in the country. Even though it suffered a major disaster, the family foundation is still there. The disaster relief work is much better than that in poor and backward areas. Xia Xun feels a lot more at ease after seeing this.
Xia Xun found the water Xiaoyou was swimming on and said in a deep voice: "These heavy rains this year are indeed rare in decades. It is not your local responsibility to cause disasters due to accumulated rain. But how could the flooding here be like this?"
Is it serious? Is this just a natural disaster?"
Magistrate Fu hurriedly replied: "My lord, this village is originally next to a river. The water is too big. When the water comes down, the first people to be affected are the people who live along the river..."
Xia Xun turned his head and glanced at him, his eyes were not very cold, but Magistrate Fu shuddered involuntarily, his knees softened, and he knelt down on the boat, and said with a mournful face: "If you return to the country, please tell me.
It’s really…there’s really no other way!”
Xia Xun said coldly: "You tell me, why is there nothing we can do?"
Magistrate Fu no longer cared about Chang Yinglin, gritted his teeth, and said, "My lord, you don't know something. When the money allocated by the imperial court for river work was received by the magistrate, not even a penny was allocated."
, To tell you the truth, Mr. Guo, even if the official is unscrupulous and does not take seriously the criminals of the former dynasty who lived in Xiaoyeer Village, in the entire Wucheng County, do the officials dare not take it seriously?
Let’s just say that in Nanxun Town, there are many officials who want to become officials. Take any one of them, but the official who is as big as a sesame seed and a mung bean is incomparable to Xiaguan.
Are the officials willing to spare Xiaguan? With no choice but to do so, Xiaguan also proposed to the Huzhou government to allocate some money.
There are so many high-ranking officials in Wucheng County. Even if a small county receives a penny, it will never dare to be greedy. It will all be spent on water conservancy maintenance. But..., behind Mr. Chang is..., not to mention that he has already become an official.
Officials, even officials in the government, are not looked down upon by others, and they are as dumb as a penny!
Seeing that the river was in disrepair for a long time, not to mention that it would be in trouble in the event of a major disaster, even if it was used to irrigate the farmland, the official had no choice but to summon the wealthy gentry and merchants of the county and ask them to donate some money.
, so we can hire migrant workers to repair water conservancy."
Magistrate Fu swallowed his saliva and said: "But how can we repair the entire river section with such a small amount of money? If we spread it out and patch it up everywhere, it will not help at all. When this flood comes, our entire Wucheng County will be affected."
My son will be dead, and the people of the whole county will suffer. Besides, the donor lives in the city, so what if I don’t build that section of the embankment first? So here..."
Xia Xun said coldly and sadly: "So... there are only some dispensable untouchables living here, so we have to let them fend for themselves!"
Magistrate Fu was so horrified that his face turned green. He kowtowed repeatedly and said: "It is a crime of death for a lower official! It is a capital crime for a lower official!"
His head hit the cabin deck, making a loud bang, and within a moment his forehead was bruised.
Xia Xun said slowly: "Get up. When you were in office, you at least did your duty. My father-in-law will not blame you for what you are incapable of doing!"
Fu Sheng was overjoyed and continued to kowtow: "Thank you so much for the kindness of the State Council! Thank you so much for the kindness of the State Council!"
Xia Xun waved his hand, and his face immediately darkened: "But there is something you are capable of doing! In the past, Chang Yinglin covered the sky with his hands, and you could only breathe in his arms. Now Chang Yinglin is behind bars.
, Yu Shi is looking for evidence of his crime, how come you still know about it and don’t report it?”
Magistrate Fu said hurriedly: "I understand, I understand! I will write down the details clearly after I return and report them to the Imperial Envoy!"
Xia Xun pondered for a while and then said: "In Wucheng County, many high-ranking officials live in seclusion. Chang Yinglin dares to be so bold and bold. You can only imagine how cruel the exploitation of other places is. In the counties of Huzhou
Wucheng is the first county here, so you must be somewhat famous among the county officials..."
Fu Sheng heard the sound of the string and knew its elegant meaning, and immediately said: "Yes, I will definitely contact my colleagues in the counties and write a letter together to report Chang Yinglin's crimes and bring justice to the people!"
Xia Xun nodded, looked back silently, and once again looked at the land where Xiaoye'er Village was. Ten years seemed like a dream.
The grain gentry's homes were ransacked, and the grain seized on the spot became stolen goods, and there was absolutely no reason to return it. Yu Shiji was quite ruthless and had all the grain returned to the treasury.
He received the official grain and closed the gap of 600,000 dans of grain. Xia Yuanji was not polite and temporarily took over the post of Huzhou magistrate. He immediately opened a warehouse to sell grain to the citizens at a fair price. He also identified the affected people in each county and allocated grain to or
Relief or loans were given to make up for the shortage of food provided by the court.
Motivated by Xia Yuanji, the conscientious gentry in Huzhou City saw that the overall situation had been decided, and they came forward one after another to report the crimes of Chang Yinglin and his party members. As a result, Huzhou Tongzhi, Tongxuan and other large-scale voters opposed Chang Yinglin.
Corrupt officials who were colluding with each other were arrested one after another. Immediately afterwards, the county magistrates headed by Wucheng wrote letters one after another, reporting the crimes of Huzhou Prefecture.
Yu Shiji has become addicted to arresting people. He will arrest people when he reports, and he will arrest a whole family. His appearance is quite a bit like that of the souls of Chen Ying, Xiao Zujie, and Ji Gang. If Xia Xun and Xia Yuanji hadn't deliberately controlled the scale, Yu Qingtian would have been
Even if they are close to each other, half of the people in Huzhou City can be arrested.
While Yu Shiji was busy arresting people and ransacking their homes, and Xia Yuanji was busy promoting relations between the government and the people, Xia Xun began to consider the future life problems of the victims. Disaster relief could be provided now, but the relief could not continue until next autumn harvest. Huzhou Prefecture was blocked by Chang Yinglin.
The stinky fish has caused so much harm that there are countless refugees. Some people in Susong and other prefectures have also been severely affected. What should these people do?
Xia Xun thought hard for a long time, and suddenly thought of the Great Baoen Temple in the capital, which required the service of more than 100,000 people to build, and his heart suddenly became brighter...
p: It’s the 21st, and this month has entered the second half of the month. The fortress is about to be breached several times, and I am really worried about my concern! Friends, I sincerely ask for your *** support!
