"Ying Ti, the governor of Longxi County, has met Marquis Wu Zhen."
Early the next morning, the Longxi County Sheriff led a group of several people and rushed to Pingxiang City.
Entering an ordinary mansion in Pingxiang City, he approached the main hall and bowed. Two years ago, he met Marquis Wu Zhen. Now that he saw him again, he did not expect that he was to supervise the important civil and military affairs of Longxi and the two counties in the north.
It seems that the king attaches great importance to Marquis Wu Zhen.
However, Ying Ti felt slightly uneasy. The two counties in Longxi already had their own governors, but the king still sent Marquis Wu Zhen here. Could it be that he was dissatisfied with their recent governance?
Otherwise, why would such a powerful person appear above their heads? Although he was thinking this in his mind, he kept smiling on his face, looking at the extremely young Marquis Wu Zhen in front of him, who was already middle-aged.
The body even sighed.
"No need to be polite, sit down!"
Didao, the administrative seat of Longxi, is nearly 800 miles away from the city of Pingxiang. I think the governor in front of me must be paying attention to his whereabouts, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that he had just arrived in Pingxiang yesterday, and he came today.
However, it's a good idea to come and discuss the next steps.
After the Beidi County Sheriff, many county magistrates, and elders from the aristocratic clans arrived, specific measures could be taken. Instead of nodding, he pointed at a few side items.
"yes."
Ying Ti smiled softly, moved his robes, and knelt down behind the desk. Immediately, a maid offered tea.
"The earthquake occurred in Longxi and the two counties in the north. It has been half a month now, but I have entered Longxi all the way. What I saw and heard is that it is still desolate and hungry people are scattered."
"Do you think the rectification measures issued by the government are inappropriate?"
Wearing loose light white clothes, her hair was combed into a bunch randomly behind her back. Next to her, Xue Ji Jingyi was cooking tea with bare hands and slowly presented it to her. The jade cup was crystal clear and the leaves were floating, which was quite elegant.
He waved his hand to explore, held it in his hand, took a sip, and felt the fragrance on his lips. He had some understanding of the Longxi County Sheriff in front of him. He was a branch of the Ying Qin clan and was ranked as the County Sheriff due to the recommendation of the elders of the clan.
In recent years, in the land of Longxi, there have been no faults and no merits. Everything has been done step by step. In ordinary times, there is nothing, but when disasters happen, it is time to test the other party.
It is obvious that the other party's management level has not met our own requirements.
Bang!
As soon as the words fell, Ying's whole body trembled quietly as he just sat down. The tea cup he just picked up became unstable and fell onto the table. The crisp sound swirled around and the tea water overflowed.
His expression turned extremely pale in an instant. He stood up from his seat in an instant, walked to the center of the main hall, knelt down, and gave a heavy salute with his hands in hand.
"I have neglected my duty."
"I am guilty!"
Ying Ti was trembling in his heart. The current king Su Xi had read the "Book of Shang Jun" himself. Moreover, in the imperial regulations, there were many regulations to restrict officials, from the prime minister to the county magistrate and so on.
He was already guilty of failing to deal with the disaster in Longxi in time. If Marquis Wu Zhen wrote a letter, he would probably lose his official position and lose his life.
This is a place of fear!
As the governor of Longxi County, I seem to have a lot of power, but in fact, I am no longer the governor of decades ago. Your Majesty's actions in recent years have taken back a lot of the power of the county governors in various places.
The king is strong now, but there is nothing he can do!
"Tell me where you failed in your duty?"
"I was sent by the king to supervise the important affairs of the two counties in Longxi and the north. Do you think I am willing to solve the disaster in Longxi for you? You should understand the reason why I was sent here."
The governors of the two counties in Longxi and Beidi have always been the branch and in-laws of the Ying Qin clan. That is the ancestral land of the Ying Qin clan, and it should be like this. Except for these two special places, there are no other counties in the Qin State.
this restriction.
Above the court, it is not a secret.
He took a sip of the tea in his hand, looked at the trembling man in front of him, whispered and asked.
"I have neglected my duty."
"I failed to deal with the earthquake disaster in a timely manner, failed to stabilize the dispersal of the people in Longxi, and failed to stop the spread of rumors from those who were interested... I am guilty!"
Ying Ti didn't dare to raise his head, as the events in Longxi came to his mind.
In fact, he also issued some written orders, but the results were not great and they were not implemented into the counties at all. As a result, half a month later, Longxi was still in the same situation.
I can see some things with my own eyes, and there are people around me to help, but I just can't see the results and I can't do anything about it.
Of course...this is my own fault.
"You quite understand."
"Yesterday, I ordered the magistrate of Pingxiang County to issue a document in my name, summoning important officials from the two counties to come here to discuss the important countermeasures for the rectification of the two counties in Longxi. Now that you have seen all these issues."
"So, what do you think?"
"Stand up and speak."
There was another smile on Zhou Qing's face. It seemed that he had some good eyesight to become a county guard. He placed the jade-carved tea cup in his hand on the case and continued to ask.
If he can tell one, two, three, he can continue to serve as the county guard. If not, the position of the county guard should be changed.
"yes."
Ying Ti slowly raised his head and glanced at the Marquis Wu Zhen who was standing above him. Looking at his expression, he felt a little at ease. Then he stood up slowly and stood in the hall. He pondered for a moment and sorted out the countermeasures he could think of.
"The State of Qin has always treated disasters but not provided relief. I believe that we should follow the example of Marquis Wu Zhen in building the Zhengguo Canal a few years ago, build water conservancy in Longxi, open the Mao Canal, and build the Great Wall."
"With this, we can gather the scattered hungry people to ensure that they will not cause chaos, and we can also help these hungry people survive the immediate disaster."
This strategy was mentioned by some counselors around me, so I immediately thought of it.
He spoke slowly, and then he carefully looked at Wu Zhenhou again.
"What else?"
At this moment, Zhou Qing was watching with great interest as Xue Ji prepared the refreshing wine, blessing her body with the power of ice, combining yin and yang, mixing fruit stuffs, mixing essences of spices, a small pot of things can be achieved directly, just filtering
After one or two precipitations, it can be quoted.
Wen Yingti interrupted his speech and continued.
"yes."
"The government immediately sent people to the counties and counties to eliminate the rumors and use the power of the government to make the hungry people fearful and not dare to cause trouble."
After thinking about it, another plan came out. Ying Ti looked at the superior Wu Zhenhou Zheng and the beautiful woman beside him and said with a smile, he did not dare to be careless. After thinking about it, these Wu Zhenhou was still not satisfied.
"The government should also send special personnel to various places to clean up the people who died due to disasters in various places, gather them together, and deal with them to prevent the emergence of epidemics."
“Tax deferral measures will be implemented for areas severely affected by disasters.”
"Send more soldiers to protect the granaries in various places and prevent the hungry people from flooding!"
"At the same time, vigorous efforts will be made to severely punish those who spread rumors."
"Private fights arising out of disasters will be severely punished!"
"..."
Ying Ti spoke one by one, some were words from the counselors around him, some were what he had observed from the documents in recent years, and some were his own feelings. After staying in this position for many years, he had some understanding.
Bits and pieces, at first it was relatively organized, but later it fell into pieces.
"Have you done all this?"
He took the prepared refreshing fruit wine from Xue Ji's hand. Nongyu had also mixed these things before, but everyone's method was different, so the natural taste was somewhat different.
Take a sip, and a hint of coolness spreads. In the midsummer season, you are absolutely refreshed, and at the same time, you look at the body in front of you.
He said a lot, and he felt that everything was fine, at least for the Longxi in front of him. Even though most of the important officials from the central government came here, they were like this, but... why didn't there be any results!
"This..., I have neglected my duty!"
Ying Ying looked a little ugly and kept his head low.
"Why wasn't it done?"
Zhou Qing asked again.
"I have neglected my duty."
"All kinds of documents and government orders leave Didao and enter counties. They are difficult to implement in the countryside, and some are even difficult to implement in counties."
Ying Ti naturally understands the reason, but he has nothing to do about it. When he was the governor of Longxi County, those people put in a lot of effort. Over the years, those people really didn't take him seriously.
"Regarding what happened in the two counties of Longxi, I am determined to write a document and report it to Xianyang in one month's time."
"So, I give you this opportunity!"
"You go back first and compile what you said today into a document. When the Beidi County Sheriff and others arrive, we can discuss important matters."
He waved it slightly with one hand, wondering what the situation was like here in Longxi. Qian Hong also told him a lot yesterday, and if the countermeasures Ying Ti mentioned in front of him could be implemented, it would naturally be no big deal.
But some people just think they are special.
"yes!"
Ying Ti breathed a sigh of relief again, but he also felt nervous for no reason.
Marquis Wu Zhen gave himself a month to rectify the important affairs of Longxi. If he could not do it, he would probably lose the position of governor. If he could do it..., but... it would be difficult.
"Go ahead."
Drink the refreshing fruit-filled wine in the red coral bottle without saying anything.
After a few breaths, the winning body left.
"Sir, Xue Ji heard from Sister Qianhong that over the past hundred years, there have been many branch members of the Ying Qin clan here. Especially during the years of King Zhaoxiang, many young masters and important officials came here."
"Many of them have made great achievements during the reign of King Zhaoxiang, and there are also some people from old aristocratic families. Some of them are even second only to the Marquis of Guannei, and the county guard does not dare to do anything."
"The governor of Longxi County is afraid that it will be difficult."
Dressed in dark blue cardigan silk, her graceful figure is wrapped inside, her silver hair is delicately combed, a jade-like crystal headdress is embedded, her skin is crystal clear, mysterious light is looming, and a pair of cold jade bracelets slide on her bright wrists.
Kneeling on the cushion next to the Lord, a trace of curiosity flashed across her beautiful appearance. She watched the Longxi County Sheriff leave just now, her crisp voice was slow, her bright eyes flashed with a mysterious light, and she held a wine bottle, filling the Lord with corals.
bottle.
Having stayed in Longxi in recent years, I don’t know anything about it. Sister Qianhong has also mentioned some countermeasures, but saying it is one thing, and whether it can be implemented is another.
"The troubles in the two counties of Longxi and North are not just the so-called rangers and people of foreign races."
"Xue Ji, guess why a big tree that can withstand thousands of external pressures... suddenly broke apart after a whirlwind hit it one day, scattering thousands of dust?"
