Jiang Long's previous life, government office buildings were always very grand. Chinese people valued their face and built government buildings taller and more beautifully, which showed that I was rich but not poor, and I could come to my place to invest. In addition, there were naturally shameful things in the secret.
Human activities.
How can you take care of the business of your relatives and friends without spending more money?
If relatives, friends and businessmen cannot make money, they will naturally not give any benefits to officials.
However, in the history of China, there was also a dynasty who didn’t care about face. All the houses in the yamen were leaking and the courtyard walls were about to fall, but officials did not dare to repair them.
That was the Ming Dynasty, especially during the Hongwu period.
Zhu Yuanzhang was a civilian. When his hometown encountered natural disasters, his parents and brothers starved to death in front of him because of officials' corruption and relief of food and salary. For this reason, he became a monk and begged for alms on the streets, which was no different from a beggar.
It is precisely because of his personal experience that he attaches great importance to hate corruption among officials.
The most severe anti-corruption law was promulgated, and more than 60 taels of silver were embezzled and the conditions for embezzlement of silver were immediately executed! Later, the conditions for embezzlement of silver were reduced.
Jianglong was renovated into Lingtong County, and this county government is naturally also included. After the reconstruction, the gate of the county government government was very wide, tall and majestic, which represented the majesty of the court. After the prisoners saw it at a glance, they became afraid. The trial hall was in the trial hall.
It is solemn and dignified.
There will be no decorations in the courtyard behind it.
The overall style is grand and spacious, neat and elegant.
Every day, there are servants cleaning the cement boards in front of the yamen, cleanly cleaning the cement boards in front of the door.
Qian put off the carriage and saw the gate of the Xinxian County Government. He looked around and nodded. The construction of the county government was really good. The middle-aged scholar had a sigh of praise in his eyes, although the county government did not bother much.
It is a simple and clear style to decorate, but the county government places require such a simple and clear style.
"Report to the Lord, Mr. Qian, the Ministry of Works, to see him."
"Please come in."
Jiang Long had already received the news, and it was not surprising.
Butler He struggled hard, turned his head and looked back. The two yamen runners increased their strength and kicked them a few times in secret. Butler He couldn't bear it and felt sad, so he became honest again.
"Mr. Jing!" Qian Dai was wearing a brocade dress, with one hand behind her back, and walked calmly, slowly walked into the lobby from the main entrance with a steady pace. He didn't even glance at Butler He from the corner of his eyes, and smiled straight at Jiang Long above him.
He said: "Although you and I were both born in the capital, we have not been lucky enough to meet until today."
"Mr. Qian, please forgive me. Now in the lobby, business matters are important." Jiang Long stood up, just bowed to Qian Dai from afar, and then sat back, "Mr. Qian came here at this time, probably for Butler He to ride a horse.
A collision?"
Qian Dai looked stunned, then stared at Jiang Long with his eyes flashing, "That's it."
Then he continued to ask: "I wonder how Lord Jing wants to punish Butler He?"
"It's not that I want to punish me, it's that the county government has laws and regulations." Jiang Long made a statement to correct it.
"Isn't the laws formulated by Lingtong County still the rule that Lord Jing is the one who decides?" Qian Dai snorted coldly.
Jiang Long no longer explained, "Butler He bumped into two pedestrians, one old man and one child. Although the injuries of the elderly and the children were not serious, they were suddenly frightened and had not woken up until now. According to the county government's laws, Yin Shi was fined
two."
Ten taels?
Butler He, who was kneeling on the ground, was furious. Their entire team of more than 300 people ate and stayed at the inn overnight, but they only spent more than three taels of silver. They only injured two pedestrians and were fined ten taels of silver. In fact, it was his
The lives of the old and the young in my eyes are not worth five taels of silver in total!
If this is in the capital, not to mention just being injured or killing a few ordinary people, who dares to come to the Qian Mansion to seek justice?
"What else?" Qian Dai looked calm and calm.
"Parking in shackles and parade in the streets, then joining the patrol team to help maintain traffic order and public order, with a time limit of seven days."
He heard this, butler He was so angry that his face turned red. In addition to fined the money, he had to put on shackles and parade in the streets. If he was punished like this, then how could he have the face to appear on the streets of Lingtong County in the future? If he was to be someone again
If he throws some rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, he might as well find a crack in the ground to get into it.
As for joining the patrol, it was even more impossible. He came to Lingtong County to serve Qian Dai, and he had to take care of all the chores around Qian Dai in an orderly manner, so that Qian Dai would not be willing to do so.
"It's okay to accept the punishment for money and parade the streets."
Qian Dai said in a negotiated tone at this time: "But can you be more comfortable with joining the patrol and maintaining traffic order and public order?"
"How to be compatible?" Jiang Long glanced at Butler He, who showed an unexpected look, asked back.
"This time, I came to Lingtong County from the capital to serve as an assistant to Lord Jing. I brought a lot of servants and servants. I needed Butler He to follow him and strictly regulate him. If I leave him, I will be distracted and personally.
If you go and take care of it, I am afraid that you will not be able to do your best to assist Lord Jing.”
Qian Dai's tone was slow and clear, "It's better to do this. I can spend money to hire someone to replace Mr. Qian and join the patrol team to help with the work."
"It's better to send two other guards to replace him than to spend money to hire him." Jiang Long chuckled.
“Okay.”
Qian Dai hesitated for a moment, nodded, and then bowed and said, "I have just moved out of the inn and am about to go to the place where I rented a house. There are still many things to arrange, and I am very tired all the way. I will come to the county government to report tomorrow.
, I wonder what Lord Jing is thinking?"
"Mr. Qian can rest for a few more days." Jiang Long stood up and gave him a look. "For example, the excavation of artificial rivers and improved farmland in the cold land have been temporarily stopped. Even if Mr. Qian comes to the county government, he will basically do so.
There is nothing to do."
"How could it be?" Qian Dai shook his head, "The project is now shut down, and I can just look through the information about the previous project excavation to find out the inputs of the river, whether there are any difficulties, etc. If you have a clear mind, you will be better after the spring next year.
As the assistant Lord Jing.”
"Too."
Jiang Long walked down and walked out of the county government gate side by side with Qian Dai. Neither of them looked at Butler He, who looked anxious.
Jiang Long stopped after giving money and putting on the carriage.
Bi Suo walked over at this time, followed by two guards, "Sir Jing, these two will take over the patrol team for Butler He." He lowered his voice when he said this, "I don't know if he can also be compatible with Butler He parades.
?”
"How to be compatible?" Jiang Long's expression was unpredictable.
Bi Suo's face showed joy, "You can send another person to the top. Of course, Lord Jing is indispensable, and the silver pattern is fifty taels!"
"Fifty taels?" Jiang Long suddenly laughed, "What a huge sum of money, fifty taels of silver is enough for ordinary people of a family of ten to spend their lives!"
Seeing Jiang Long say it with a smile, Bi Suo knew it was not good.
Sure enough, Jiang Long stared at Bi Suo's eyes tightly and asked coldly: "Why is Mr. Qian not compatible with me?"
"This, this..." Bisuo stuttered.
"Mr. Qian is not in harmony with me. You are a lowly servant, what qualifications are you to be with me?" Jiang Long suddenly stepped forward and asked.
Forced by the momentum that broke out from Jiang Long's body, Bi Suo couldn't help but retreat, his face turned pale and turned bloodless.
When Jiang Long talked to Qian Dai, his voice was gentle and he seemed easy to talk to. This made Bi Suo think that Jiang Long had a good temper, but he didn't expect Jiang Long to suddenly turn against him.
Inside the carriage, Qian Dai closed his eyes slightly, and his brows frowned when he heard the sound.
Then a sigh.
The middle-aged scholar had already gotten into the car and shook his head. He was at a disadvantage before, and the young master's response was perfect, but he didn't expect Bi Suo to make his own decision in the end, allowing Jiang Long to seize the opportunity and show his strength.
It's really not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs.
It’s a pity that Qian Dai and the middle-aged scholar didn’t know that there was such a saying.
After sighing, Qian Dai's eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light flashed in his pupils. His face was not so easy to beat!
When the middle-aged scholar saw it, he lowered his head and knew that his son would fight back immediately.
The coachman waved his whip and the Qian family's convoy slowly moved away.
At this time, two yamen runners walked out of the county government gate with messy clothes and loose hair. Butler He, who was tied up, looked extremely embarrassed and blushed. He thought he was quite famous in the capital, but he didn't want to be there.
Lingtong County is very embarrassed.
If this is passed back, he will have no shame to see anyone!
In his shame and anger, he also felt resentful. If he did not avenge this revenge, he would not be a human being!
The two guards left by Bisuo were taken to the patrol team by a yamen runner. It was winter and the weather was extremely cold, so joining the patrol team on duty was not a good thing. If you don't wear thick and warm enough, you will definitely get up.
frostbite.
When he returned to the county government, Cheng Ze and Xiao Fan were sitting.
"What do you think of this young master of the Qian family?" Jiang Long asked with a chuckle.
Xiao Fan shook his head, "It is not consistent with the reputation he passed down in the capital. I just met once and I couldn't see through it."
Cheng Ze wanted to speak but stopped.
Jiang Long asked again, but Cheng Ze just chuckled and waved his hand, looking unpredictable and profound.
It was not until after Jiang Long left that Xiao Fan asked, and Cheng Ze said coldly: "That's a wolf!"
Wolf?
Frugal, cunning!
Xiao Fan knew Cheng Ze's accuracy in knowing people, so he was shocked. This evaluation was already quite low. "Then why don't you remind me and let the young master be careful."
"He doesn't dare to do anything to the young master yet," Cheng Ze replied.
But it is hard for others to say... Cheng Ze did not say this.
Butler He was tied up and paraded through the streets, which naturally attracted passers-by to watch. When someone asked, the two yamen runners who were escorting Butler He would answer the reason loudly. I heard that someone was riding a horse and hitting someone. The people were talking about it, and some people guessed that Butler He was
It's not like a mess.
Jiang Long did not make great efforts to rectify the incident of Lingtong County. In fact, if he wanted to rectify it, it was in ancient times, and everything was decided by Jiang Long, which was very simple. There was no need to pay attention to human rights equality or other things.
The reason why I don’t care is that I want outsiders to be more careful and don’t think that I can do whatever I want because of some background.
Those scoundrels who are trying to get into the car are not stupid either. They are naturally looking for the kind of people who come to Lingtong County for the first time, so they have not caused much harm so far.
