When the emperor came to the county government office, he saw Liu Mengzhe sitting in the middle of the hall, saying hello as if he was paying homage to the adults.
Liu Mengzhe quickly got up from the position and walked to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty is not allowed to do this. If others see it, I will lose my head."
The emperor looked at Liu Mengzhe with disapproval, "As the saying goes, when you go to the temple to burn incense and follow the customs of the countryside, do you don't need to abide by the regulations of the county government when you go to the county government?"
Liu Mengzhe said tremblingly: "It's right to say this, but, but..."
He wanted to find something else, but he couldn't figure it out, so he could only hesitate. After a long time, he could only stop awkwardly.
"I just can't come out?" The emperor looked at Liu Mengzhe with pride. "It's naturally a good thing for you to respect me, but respect must also have a degree of respect. Excessive respect is foolish loyalty."
Liu Mengzhe smiled awkwardly. It is naturally great to do business in the face of the common people, but when facing a life-savior and the king of a country, he cannot be so calm in his heart. Because from a thoughtful perspective, he wants to be good.
He respects this king of a country. From the bottom of his heart, he feels that he should thank this life-savior well.
The emperor walked to his table and asked, "How is it, the official business has been going well these few days, right?"
Liu Mengzhe took out the record just now, and the characters on it were neatly shaped, and every case was orderly. The emperor nodded constantly and said, "You know, in your Liusha Town, people call county officials a humble official, I
Look at you, you should be called the gourd officer.”
Liu Mengzhe looked at the emperor with a confused look on his face: "I don't know what the gourd official is that His Majesty said, and what the confused official is?"
"Gourd Official, it's like you, you don't say anything, and then you can handle everything well." The emperor explained.
"As the so-called confused officials, as the name suggests, are those who do not care about things and are inconvenient to black and white, of course they are confused officials."
Liu Mengzhe said to the emperor with fear and fear: "Your Majesty is wise. Even if you give me ten courage, the grass people are not willing to be confused officials."
The emperor had long known that if Liu Mengzhe became an official, he would definitely be a clean official. His personality was out of place with a confused official.
But, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of anything. If the atmosphere in this society continues to wash away and pollute their lives, then the entire gourd official becomes a confused official, he will have no choice.
So he patted Liu Mengzhe on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Do it well, wait for me to come back and reward you well."
As he said that, he turned around and walked out of the court.
While walking, the emperor said to Jiang Hexi: "Are you lying to me? Why do you feel that after so long, you still haven't reached the embankment of the Yellow River? Could it be that you have changed the route now?"
Jiang Hexi smiled and said, "How is that possible? Even if you change the route, you need time. If you don't have time, you need a process. The Yellow River can't be like a painting. You can go wherever you want, right?"
The emperor nodded and asked, "But, what the map is talking about here, why did Mao I still not see a shadow?"
Jiang Hexi pointed to a place that looked like a city wall in the distance and said to the emperor: "Have you ever seen this?"
The emperor looked at it without thinking and said, "I know, this is the city wall. I have personally participated in the construction in the capital."
Jiang Hexi shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is right. The shape is a bit like a city wall, but the function of this 'city wall' is not used to protect the city, but the river embankment."
The emperor said in surprise: "This is a river embankment? Is the Yellow River on the ground?"
Jiang Hexi nodded and looked at the emperor and said, "That's right. The soil erosion in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and a lot of mud and sand were silted on the riverbed. The riverbed became higher and higher, and finally became a river on the ground."
The emperor nodded: "No wonder, why did I say that the breach is so terrible? So that's how it is."
Huo Jingchen nodded and said to the emperor: "This is why the Yellow River can always charge such high maintenance fees. They use the dangers of the Yellow River to bargain with His Majesty, and then squeeze the people's wages, so..."
The emperor gritted his teeth and said to Huo Jingchen: "Then, you go and pretend to be a worker, I will be a merchant, and then we will investigate and investigate. What do you think?"
Huo Jingchen nodded, found a piece of unclean clothes to change into, and ran to the construction site.
Jiang Hexi changed into men's clothes, stood in front of the emperor, and said proudly: "Does Your Majesty look like Caomin like your follower?"
The emperor nodded proudly and said with a smile: "It looks very much. Ah, it doesn't look like it at all, because you are my follower."
Jiang Hexi looked at the emperor's pride and whispered: "Your Majesty, you must keep calm. The Yellow River embankment has always been a place where dirt and dirt is hidden. Your Majesty must not just see things you shouldn't see.
Be angry."
The emperor frowned and looked at Jiang Hexi and smiled, "Is there anything more annoying than that county magistrate? I am not even afraid of county magistrates, can I be afraid of the river magistrates?"
Jiang Hexi wanted to say something, but when he saw the emperor's disapproval, he knew that it would be useless to say it, so he shut up and said nothing.
From a distance, I saw Huo Jingchen coming to the recruiting place wearing old clothes, standing in front of the supervisor happily and saying, "Do you want people here?"
The supervisor seemed to buy a livestock, looked at Huo Jingchen, pinched his arm, then looked left and right, and smiled and said, "Well, recruiting workers, but I don't know if you can do it?"
Huo Jingchen volunteered and said: "Sir, I am very capable. As long as you give me a chance, I will definitely give you an over-complete task."
As he said that, he lifted his sleeves to reveal his strong biceps.
The supervisor smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's a good thing that you have the will, but this work cannot be done with all your passion."
Huo Jingchen nodded and said to the supervisor: "Don't worry, look, I can do this stone effortlessly."
After saying that, he moved a stone on the ground. The supervisor was secretly happy when he saw it, but he deliberately looked at Huo Jingchen with a stern face and said, "Oh, you look pretty good, but our job is very low.
Yes, this is to serve the country, and you are not embarrassed to ask for the emperor's silver."
Huo Jingchen began to curse in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be very gentle and smiled: "That's nature, that's nature. Since he has come, as long as he takes care of the food, that's good."
