Chapter 43: Can I get the county magistrate's bank note?
Magistrate Zheng quickly gathered his thoughts.
"Haha... this cake is so delicious. Uncle, thank you Fuya, but uncle can't eat Fuya's things for nothing. Come on, take this and buy some candies and flowers..."
Magistrate Zheng said, took out a piece of paper from his arms and gave it to the little sugar baby.
Little Tangbao said ignorantly: "Uncle, Zhizhi, can you buy it, Tangtang, can you eat it?"
The little sugar baby struggled to speak, and after finishing speaking, he innocently shook the banknote in his hand.
Alas! She suddenly missed the little kid in the big house.
With the little brat around, she doesn't have to put so much effort into speaking and can express herself to her heart's content.
Magistrate Zheng, "..."
Stunned for a moment.
"Haha...this is not paper, this is a banknote." Magistrate Zheng said with a smile.
I think the little girl is really cute.
Old Man Su and Old Mrs. Su looked at each other, and their expressions changed one after another.
Old Man Su said quickly: "Sir, this is impossible. She is a child, how can she ask for money from adults?"
After saying that, he took the banknote from the little sugar baby and returned it to Magistrate Zheng.
Magistrate Zheng waved his hand and said: "The elders have given you a gift. Is there any reason to take back what I gave to my niece?"
The phrase "life niece" has greatly brought the relationship closer.
Not only have we become closer, but class differences have also been eliminated.
The little sugar baby blinked.
Are you embracing the county magistrate?
The hugging of the thighs is a bit strange.
I just want some hush money, I don’t have to give the credit to others in vain.
Moreover, by taking the hush money, it can be regarded as buying off this merit, which also makes the county magistrate feel at ease, right?
How did you get into a relationship?
In the end, Magistrate Zheng just left a hundred taels of silver notes and left with great satisfaction.
"Dad, Mom, let's have some food..." the little sugar baby said in a milky voice.
Isn't it just a banknote? Why do you, parents, look like the sky is falling?
Old man Su: "..."
Mrs. Su: "..."
Where can they go to eat?
Old man Su lowered his head and looked at the banknote in his hand. It was a full one hundred taels!
It's too prickly, what should I do?
Mrs. Su also had a complicated face.
I feel like my family suddenly became rich.
**
Although Daliushu Village escaped the locust plague, Fengqi County suffered heavy losses.
Magistrate Zheng reported the method of getting rid of the locusts overnight, and sent people to dig up a few bushes and transport them to the capital.
At the same time, we sincerely requested the imperial court to allocate food for disaster relief.
Not only that, he also secretly sent a close friend to send a letter to his family in the capital.
"Sir, the imperial court has distributed food funds for disaster relief. Even if it reaches the county, I am afraid that it will be exploited layer by layer, and there will be very little left." Mr. Liu said worriedly: "Daliu Shu Village has avoided this locust plague, and the crops are growing well.
, people in other villages may become jealous and riot and loot..."
Magistrate Zheng nodded after listening to the master's words, with a serious expression on his face.
If a riot does occur, it may spread like wildfire, and no one can predict the consequences.
Everything must be nipped in the bud!
"What do you think, sir?" Magistrate Zheng asked.
"Sir, in my humble opinion, it would be better if all the harvests in Daliushu Village are under the unified control of the Yamen..."
"This..." Magistrate Zheng hesitated.
If the master had made this suggestion before going to Daliushu Village, he would definitely have adopted it without hesitation.
After all, the most important thing is that the people under his jurisdiction will not starve to death due to locust plagues, that there will not be turmoil due to hunger, and that his political performance will not be affected by turmoil.
but now--
Magistrate Zheng thought of the jade pendant hanging around the little sugar baby's neck and felt that this order was not easy to give.
Unless the villagers of Daliushu Village do this voluntarily.
