What? The old soldier shrank his neck in fright and panicked.
Zhu Yunxi gave him a cold look and said to the guards, go in and take a look!
But the next second, the trembling old soldier had the courage to lock the door quickly.
What's wrong with the Jin Yiwei? No one can enter without the order of our county magistrate. I'll just listen to the county magistrate's orders! The old army shouted.
Fu Rang said angrily, touching the handle of the short knife, are you not afraid of death?
I'm afraid of starving to death! Lao Jun rolled his eyes and suddenly turned into a smiling face. Everyone, I'm just a man the size of an ant. I'll drown him with just a spit of your saliva. It's not worth your care. Just be kind and don't hit me.
Winning the job?
If I don’t let you in, you’ll probably kill me right now! But if you let me in, the county magistrate will throw me out of the city, and I’ll be dead! My old arms and legs, without this job, I can’t even beg for food.
place!
Everyone, if you have something to do, go to the county magistrate or all the adults. I am an old man who just makes a living!
Zhu Yunxi heard this impatiently, Fu Rang, are you a dead person?
Fu Rang let go of the handle of the knife, grabbed Lao Jun with his big hand, and threw it aside. Then he kicked open the door with a bang.
When the wooden door fell apart, it also alarmed the people in the warehouse.
There are mountains of supplies in the warehouse. If they were elsewhere, they would be classified in detail and used for various purposes. But here, they are all arranged in a mess.
In the warehouse, there were actually many people rummaging through the supplies. It seemed that they had just found what they wanted, and they had all been put on wheelbarrows before they had time to take them away.
And the driver who was looking for Coptis chinensis for his family had a pack of medicinal materials under his arm and a bag in his hand, and was about to go out.
What are you doing? Someone asked in surprise.
Li Jinglong stepped forward directly and shouted, "Jinyiwei is on duty!" With that, he grabbed the person and asked, "Who are you?"
Let go, let go! That man is struggling, I am the clerk of the county government office!
What to do with these disaster relief supplies? Li Jinglong continued to ask angrily.
The man said loudly, "Your Majesty asked me to come here to get it, how do I know what to do?"
At this time, the driver who came in to look for Huang Lian was also grabbed by the neck and kicked down. The bag in his hand was scattered all over the floor, and it was covered with large white grains of salt.
Don’t you want coptis? What are you doing with the salt? Tie Xuan asked angrily.
My lord has said, what should I take for what I need at home? Seeing these people staring at them, the coachman pulled his neck and said, let me tell you, my lord is a classic, do you have any royal laws?
Zhu Yunxi's heart was filled with indescribable sadness.
The Lord asked me to take it!
The adults told me to take whatever is missing at home!
What kind of fucking adults are these?
The victims of the disaster outside the city are on the line of life and death, and these supplies have become the exclusive property of these adults!
Food and supplies were sent from all over the world, but they were actually delivered to the hands of these adults!
What's even more sad is that they still take it for granted.
In the Ming Dynasty, the all-conquering Jinyiwei could even enter the prime minister's home, but they couldn't even enter the warehouse in this county! What a big, big joke.
If it is taken from the people, where will it be used?
Wang Fa? I am Wang Fa! Zhu Yunxi sneered.
I didn't expect that Gong County would be so corrupt. I really can't imagine how heartless and well-dressed a beast it is to have the idea of these disaster relief items! Tie Xuan sighed, "Your Majesty... Third Master, you want to
Meet the county magistrate!
Gone! Zhu Yunxi smiled, Li Jinglong!
exist!
Bring in the troops!
~~~
It’s not good! It’s not good!
Lao Jun stumbled to the county government office and was directly stopped by the guards at the door.
Stop, what's the etiquette of yelling?
The old army gasped for air and quickly went to report to the county magistrate that the Jin Yiwei was here and entered the warehouse!
Jinyiwei? The guard at the door asked curiously, "Why are you suffering from hysteria? Where did the Jinyiwei come from in this place?"
I'm so old, but I can still talk nonsense! The old army slapped his thighs, and dozens of uniformed guards kicked open the door. Report to the Lord quickly, or something will happen if it's too late!
Your Excellency is not here, and you have gone to the He Mansion for a banquet! The guard at the door slapped his forehead, and then started shouting, "Quick, hurry up and call the County Lord!"
The calm county government suddenly became noisy.
At the corner of the street, the city gate soldier who was strolling over to report the news curled his lips and left without looking back when he saw this scene.
The He family is one of the most prominent families in the county. They have property at home, a village in the countryside, and some of their sons and nephews are officials working in the yamen. The mansion is more luxurious than the county yamen, with carved beams and painted edifices.
In the back house, a banquet was being held.
The county magistrate is in the chief position, and the old man of the He family is at the bottom.
At the banquet, there were also some prominent figures in the city, all of whom were deliberately trying to please him.
Alas, this is too much in a year of great calamity!
The county magistrate looked at a table full of delicacies, including chicken, duck and fish, and said with a smile, "This is too much!"
It’s not too much! Mr. He said with a smile, since the great disaster, the county magistrate has been unable to sleep at night, working hard for our county. He has lost twice the weight. These things are all seen by the old man.
It’s all within our own scope! The county official smiled.
It’s in my eyes, but it hurts in my heart! Mr. He smiled again and said, Your Excellency, you are so worried about our county. So, with a shy face, I asked my family to prepare some thin dishes to express my gratitude!
How did this happen? The county official smiled.
It makes, it makes! At the banquet, a person who was engaged in medicinal material business and opened a drug store in the city greeted him and said, "In a hurry, there is nothing good to eat. This is already aggrieved!"
Mr. He smiled and said, Lord County Lord, please try this roasted sea cucumber with green onion! It is a famous dish here!
The county official said reservedly, "That would be disrespectful!" After saying that, he picked up a chopstick, put it in his mouth, took two bites, nodded and said, "Well, not bad, not bad!" After saying that, he put down his chopsticks again, shook his head and said, "At this time,
I really have no intention of eating, hey!
Your Excellency is really worried about the country and its people! Mr. He diligently served Man Man wine, but you don’t have to worry too much. In the Ming Dynasty, there were no natural disasters anywhere in the world. This has been the case for thousands of years.
There must be a way ahead!
The county magistrate sighed, "That's what I said, but the disaster this time was too great. If nothing else, our county's treasury was completely empty. The floods receded the next day, and we didn't even have the money to repair the city wall!"
What do you worry about? I'm waiting for you, so you don't have to worry about it! Mr. He smiled again and said, all the big families in this county are here. If you have any errands in the future, just let me know!
No, no, no! The county magistrate waved his hands repeatedly, knowing that you are all good people who are willing to do charity, but you do not receive salary for your merits. We cannot use your money to build the city wall and other things! We cannot use your money to settle the people!
How can this be no reward for no merit? We have something to ask of you! Mr. He said with a smile, since the flood, the old man's family in Zhuangzi outside the city has failed to harvest anything, and all the livestock, cattle and horses have died in the flood.
If only Lao Chan and his family were the only ones, that would be enough. We would just have to tighten our belts and get through it!
But there are hundreds of tenants in the family, and the old man cannot ignore them! As he said that, he filled the county magistrate with wine, and continued, there are thousands of mouths!
Do you want food? The smile on the county official's face suddenly disappeared, and he said seriously, it's not the autumn harvest yet, our small county already has insufficient food in the storehouse. When the disaster comes, it is even worse. Besides, there are so many people in the county government.
Open your mouth more, and their families will also want to eat!
Although the imperial court sent some relief food, I don’t dare to tamper with it at will!
How dare I ask for it! Mr. He said with a smile, I would like to ask you to sell some for the sake of past friendship. I am willing to pay a high price and will never live up to my words!
Old fox!
The county magistrate sneered in his heart. In the year of great disaster, there is no food worth anything. In the next few years, the price of food around Henan will remain high. This old man is only thinking about making money.
Well, that’s not impossible to say! The county official smiled meaningfully.
At the banquet, Liu Dongjia, the largest landowner in the county, also laughed and said, "My lord, the county magistrate, I also have some extravagant wealth in my family, which can be used for disaster relief!"
Well! The county magistrate nodded, I have heard that Liu Dong’s family is generous!
You should do your job for the adults! Dongjia Liu said with a smile, but many people in the village were frightened by this disaster. There was a flood and there was no harvest, and the whole family was about to beg for food.
Found the villain!
What they meant was to sell the land to villains. But the amount was so big that villains didn’t dare to make the decision, for fear of being known as hoarding land!
The county official smiled and said, as long as it is reasonable, there is a sales contract, and the ownership can be transferred in the Yamen!
Your Excellency is really a bright mirror! Mr. Liu smiled and said, turning around, the villain took the land deed to the county government office and asked Your Excellency to use the seal in person!
The transfer of title deeds requires both parties to be willing to do so and it is a fair transaction. It can be handled by a clerk's office in the county government, but if the county magistrate is responsible for it, there is obviously something fishy involved.
The man who sells medicinal materials and opens a medicine shop also smiled and said, Sir, I heard that we are given a lot of medicinal materials!
That's to prevent epidemics! The county official smiled.
Due to this great disaster, the villain’s shop has been completely depleted of medicinal materials. Could you please show me your kindness? I am also willing to buy and sell at market price...
That's not good, my lord!
With a bang, the door was knocked open, and the county's housekeeper rolled in and crawled in.
How dignified is this? The county official said angrily.
The housekeeper crawled to the side of the county magistrate on his hands and knees and spoke.
What? The county magistrate was shocked. Quickly, follow me back to the Yamen!
