Chapter 59

"Since the Marquis has agreed to take office, I would like to ask the Marquis to go to the government office tomorrow to discuss how to deal with the current situation in Liuhe County!"

Wang Defa had a smile on his face: "I have to go to Jizhou to take up my post, so I won't stay here any longer. Say goodbye!"

"Master Wang, please come this way!" Shen Zhennan looked excited and personally escorted Wang De out of the house.

If the Shen family had a son-in-law who was the county magistrate, he would become famous in Jiangzhou in the future.

He was very satisfied with this good son-in-law from the beginning.

Look, my vision is really good.

However, Su Cheng did not show any joy at this moment.

Thinking of the current mess in Liuhe County, he could only shake his head with a wry smile.

This Wang Defa is really a genius.

Knowing that if Liuhe County was unable to deal with these victims, something big would happen, I just ran away.

But now that his wife has taken over the official seal and uniform, he has to take care of this matter.

What's more, the Shen family is also in Liuhe County. If these victims are allowed to cause trouble, he will eventually be robbed of food by the victims and starve to death.

"Mr. Liu Qian, please stay temporarily outside the city until I figure out how to deal with these victims before I ask you to take action."

"In that case, I will go and settle the brothers now. However, the food and water we need for three meals a day, the Marquis still needs to send someone to solve it as soon as possible."

Liu Changfeng didn't say much, just made an explanation and turned around to leave.

As soon as this person left, the Shen family members could no longer hold back and came forward to congratulate him.

"Su Cheng, if you can become the county magistrate, it will really increase the prestige of our Shen family!"

"Yes, brother-in-law, I will need more promotion from you in the future~"

"Hey, if my brother-in-law becomes the county magistrate, my Shenjia Cloth Village's business will definitely get better and better in the future."

Even Shen Youwei, who was holding her official uniform and official seal, looked happy at the moment.

If your husband-in-law becomes the county magistrate, then she will be the county magistrate's wife.

As a woman, who doesn’t want her husband to be great?

What's more, the reason why Xianggong became the county magistrate this time was entirely due to hybrid rice and advance preparation for drought.

This is really based on his own ability!

Humph, let me see who dares to say that my husband is a soft-boiled person in the future.

Just when Shen Youwei was happy for Su Cheng, she heard Su Cheng smile bitterly: "Don't be too happy too soon!"

"Don't be too happy too early. My dear son-in-law, you are already the county magistrate. You have to cheer up!"

Shen Zhennan happened to return after sending Wang Defa off. Hearing Su Cheng's words, he quickly corrected him.

Only Liang Yunrong, who had been silent on the side, raised his eyebrows: "Su Cheng, do you think there will be difficulties after becoming the county magistrate this time?"

"Although our Shen family is not a wealthy family, we still have some financial resources. If you can become the county magistrate, our Shen family will fully help you."

Although he rarely participates in family affairs, this time his son-in-law became the county magistrate, which can be regarded as giving his daughter a good home.

The position of county magistrate must be to help Su Cheng secure his position.

"Mother, in fact, Wang Defa became the prefect at this moment because he did not want to deal with the current Liuhe County."

Su Changcheng sighed: "Now the victims in several surrounding counties know that we have a good harvest in Liuhe County, and they are coming to us one after another."

"In addition, Wang Defa is now promoted to prefect because of the bumper harvest, which will make other disaster victims think that there is food in Liuhe County."

"Under this situation, more victims will come to Liuhe County."

"Now in Liuhe County, many wealthy families have been attacked and their food has been robbed. If I, the new official, cannot handle this matter after taking office, I am afraid I will be dismissed in a month."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone looked surprised.

At first, everyone was immersed in the joy of Su Cheng becoming the county magistrate. No one would have thought of the situation in Liuhe County at this moment.

Now that Su Cheng reminded them, everyone reacted.

Yes, Liuhe County is a hot potato now, and whoever is the county magistrate has to deal with the victims.

It would be fine if there was no food in Liuhe County, but now there is a bumper harvest in Liuhe County, and the victims who have no food to eat have to rush here.

If this matter is not handled well, the victims will riot, and once lives are lost, the position of the county magistrate will naturally be lost.

When Shen Youwei heard this, her face turned pale.

Looking at the official seal and official uniform in his hand.

It didn't smell good in an instant.

"Ms. sir...I'm sorry, I...I really didn't know things would turn out like this."

Shen Youwei's mouth flattened, and her face looked extremely aggrieved.

I thought I took over the official uniform and official seal out of kindness, but I didn't expect that what I took over was a hot potato.

If I had known this was the case, how could I have accepted these things? I would have been better off letting my husband live in the house.

There are advantages to being an official, but there are also disadvantages.

If you are not careful, you will be beheaded.

Thinking that she had made her husband the county magistrate, Shen Youwei felt regretful.

"It's none of your business, madam."

Su Cheng looked at Shen Youwei who looked remorseful, stretched out his hand to hold her fair hand and said with a smile: "This is recommended by Wang Defa, even if I don't want to be the one."

"It's just that I have to think carefully about how to deal with these victims."

Shen Zhennan's eyes lit up: "Good son-in-law, didn't Mr. Liu Qian bring a thousand people here? You can ask him for help."

Although the trouble caused by the disaster victims is very big and needs to be dealt with as soon as possible, there are a thousand soldiers and horses here right now.

As long as it is handled well, it might be a great achievement.

However, Su Cheng shook his head when he heard this: "No, if you try to sway the officers and soldiers, not only will you not be able to handle the matter well, but it will be self-defeating."

"The victims just want to survive. If officers and soldiers are used to suppress them, it will directly intensify the conflict between the two sides."

"If victims of the disaster riot, the trouble will be even greater."

"Furthermore, these officers and soldiers are here for another purpose, which is to escort the grain handed over to the imperial court to Jiangzhou. They will not do anything unless absolutely necessary."

Officers and soldiers have their own tasks, and Su Cheng is just a county magistrate. He is lower than Liu Changfeng in terms of official rank, so people may not listen to him.

"This...this...this won't work, and that won't work either. As a virtuous son-in-law, you, the county magistrate, must be too cowardly!"

Shen Zhennan has nothing to do with this.

"Otherwise, I'll give these things back!"

Shen Youwei raised the official seal and official uniform in her hand, indicating that she should not be the county magistrate at all.

Su Cheng held her hand dotingly and smiled: "Do you think the officialdom is your home? If you want to be an official, you can be an official, and if you don't want to be an official, you can leave?"

"I have already thought about this matter. I will ask the yamen servants to take my invitations and invite the big people in the city to come to the county yamen tomorrow. I will discuss disaster relief with them."

"My husband and I will go together tomorrow!" Shen Youwei volunteered.

"no……"

"What's wrong, I just want to go!"

Shen Youwei didn't even give Su Cheng a chance to refuse, and directly gave him a slap on the back of the head.

For such a big thing, she must be going.

If those big families don't agree to provide disaster relief, she might be able to help out then!
