Chapter 15 Who is the pest?
Five years ago, even if Liu Shen was beaten to death, he would not dare to say these words to a governor.
Now, he doesn't care, and even despises Sun Chuanting who is sitting high in the court. That position should be the seat of his county magistrate.
Although there were many clerks, maids, and wives in the Lantian County government office, he did not allow anyone to touch that seat or table.
No matter how busy he was with official duties every day, he would personally wipe the tables, chairs, and even the large seals hanging on the beams with clean warm water, leaving no trace of dust on them.
Whether the county magistrate is sitting there to decide a case or working, even if he is putting his feet up on the table to chat with others, or even jumping on the table to point at someone and curse, knocking the gavel down Shanxiang is so majestic and heroic.
Now, when he saw Mr. Dong Heng sitting high on the chair, with his hands on the table and talking to others in a false way, the anger in his heart burned so fiercely that he wanted to kick this person. Kicking off the chair, he brought a large basin of water and washed the tables and chairs thoroughly.
Lest the county minister come back and smell a bad smell when he sits down!
Under his own eyes, the dilapidated Lantian County was transformed into its current prosperity by the little county magistrate within five years, and Liu Shen was filled with pride.
He feels that he has the responsibility to maintain the prosperous world of Lantian County, especially when the county magistrate is away, and he is just an old dog looking after the house!
No matter who dares to destroy the existing appearance of Lantian County, this old dog will dare to pounce on him and bite him. Even if he is beaten to death, he will not take a step back.
Sun Chuanting clearly felt this momentum from Liu Shen. He had this momentum before, when he was dealing with the bandits in Chang'an County, when he denounced Wei Zhongxian for his castration and harmed the country, and when he resigned from office. There are also times when I take my family back home to farm.
Now, when this aura appeared on a petty official in Lantian County, and when it was targeted at him, he was so sad that he could hardly speak.
"This Yun family is much more terrifying than people like Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong..." Sun Chuanting said to himself in his heart.
"Lantian County cannot continue to expand endlessly, as this will break the rules."
Facing Liu Shen's gaze that wanted to pull him off his seat, Sun Chuanting stood up from his seat. Coming down, he said calmly to Yunmeng.
Yunmeng folded his arms and smiled bitterly: "Of the 113 boundary monuments in Lantian County, Xiaguan has not found any of them. Only when the tax collectors go to the countryside every year, they take the boundary monuments away. Go out and show it to the tax collector, then look back and find it again."
"Then make a new one and put it in the original place!"
Sun Chuanting's voice was as cold as water.
Liu Shen said with a smile: "This is the work of the governor. They are all from the countryside. Everyone just wants to have one more mouth to eat to raise their children. The so-called "just want to make a living", please forgive Lantian County for being unable to do anything about this matter. ”
“Isn’t it true that if I pay you taxes in Lantian County, I can keep more?”
Liu Shen cupped his hands and said: "Exactly, the people in Lantian County only need to pay the taxes stipulated by the court. These taxes are not heavy in the first place and the people can still afford them. It is a matter of course to farm and pay for food." The people had no objection to this.
Moreover, after Lantian County collects taxes, it will develop water conservancy projects in the local area, build reservoirs, ponds, pools, and ditches to provide the people with improved seeds. There will also be agricultural officials to monitor the growth of crops and prevent insect disasters at any time. In case of unavoidable disasters, there are various subsidies.
After the summer and autumn harvests, grain officials would go to the countryside to fight with each other and purchase the surplus grain from the people at the expense of officials and money, so as to prevent greedy merchants from harming the people.
Not to mention, my county magistrate has rebuilt Yushan Academy on Yushan Mountain in Lantian County and invited clever teachers. As long as he is the son of the common people in Lantian County, no matter he is rich or poor, he can go to the mountain to study. From elementary school to county school.
Since then, there is no reason why people from other places would not want to join us in Lantian County.
My lord, there is no dissent in Lantian County. It is not surprising that the people of Lantian County are devoted to the Yun family.
The laws and policies implemented in Lantian County are all written in the "Da Ming Dynasty", and there is nothing surprising about it.
I just don’t understand. Why does Lantian County, which governs the place strictly in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, make the adults uneasy and want to be dismantled immediately? "
Sun Chuanting was speechless when asked, and his mouth was very bitter.
Liu Shen was right. There is really nothing to criticize about the policies implemented by Lantian County. It's nothing more than keeping his word and fully playing the role of agricultural officials, water conservancy officials, grain officials, tax officials, and government officials.
He also used commercial taxes to offset the various officials assigned by the court. Various taxes...
This year's Liao pay is only 3 million taels... This is an additional Liao pay levied on the people of the entire Ming Dynasty. The huge Xi'an Prefecture only allocated less than 20,000 taels. Silver.
Lantian County has taken on ten thousand taels... It sounds like it is a king's job, but in fact, for Lantian County, where merchants come and go, it is just a drop in the bucket.
Sun Chuanting was a county magistrate for two terms. How could he not know that a government office that could hold up a sky for the people and provide them with absolute protection, a government office that could allow the people to farm the land with peace of mind, marry wives and have children in a step-by-step manner? What kind of status does a government office with strict laws and clear rules have in the hearts of the people?
This is what the so-called parent officials are like
Strict as a father, as strict as a mother. General care...
"It's not too late to discuss after seeing it! "
Sun Chuanting began to give in unknowingly.
"In this case, please stay at Guanyi. Tomorrow, your Majesty will be led by the official to lead you around Lantian County and take a look. Is there any truth in what the official said? ”
"That's what I meant!"
After saying that, Sun Chuanting looked up at the large seal of Lantian County's main hall hanging in the lobby, and said to Liu Shen: "Put it away, what does this mean?"
p>Liu Shen shook his head and said: "It has become a daily routine for the people to pass by the county government office every day and peek to see if the big seal is still there. Once the big seal is gone, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of discussion and panic. Sir, let this happen Let Mei Dayin stay here well."
Sun Chuanting sighed. He came to Lantian County and could not even do trivial things as a governor, which made him feel more and more frustrated.
Yunmeng accompanied Sun Chuanting to the hotel. Before Yunhu and Yunjiao had time to laugh out loud, they saw Liu Shen angrily pouring a whole basin of water on the tables and chairs at the top of the lobby. , the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on it were washed into a mess.
He jumped on his feet and yelled at the county officials to quickly clean the lobby and throw away the pile of garbage. He personally picked up the rag and began to wipe the tables and chairs meticulously.
Yun Zhao lay in a thick pile of fur, holding a golden Buddha in his arms and carefully studying the ferocious-looking Buddha statue.
The brazier not far away exudes the sweet aroma of roasted sweet potatoes.
Bald-headed Yun Yang looked at those roasted sweet potatoes with persistent and enthusiastic eyes.
Qian Shaoshao was sitting behind a simple table writing furiously. He occasionally stopped to rub his frozen hands, and then continued writing furiously.
Yunjuan curled up and fell at Yun Zhao's feet. He wanted to take the golden Buddha from Yun Zhao's hand and study it. He tried to take it twice without success, so he had to wait eagerly for Yun Zhao. I'll study it again after I get tired of it.
“We have slaughtered thousands of cattle and sheep in the Kru tribe. We are targeting the milk-producing cows. It is estimated that many cattle and sheep will die in the Kru tribe this year, and people will also die. A lot."
Qian Shaoshao's hands were numb from the cold and it was difficult to write anymore, so he went to Yun Yang's side and played with the roasted sweet potatoes to warm his hands.
Yun Yang said lazily: "I don't attack people, I only harm livestock. Don't call me after such a battle, it's too embarrassing.
You know what people call us now ——Black Jackal!"
Yun Zhao brushed his fingers over the ferocious face of the Golden Buddha and chuckled: "We are pests on the grassland, and black jackals are also a kind, which explains our goal. No difference!
I just ask you, has our wealth increased?"
Qian Shaoshao said: "It has more than doubled. Duoyan Department is now the most prosperous in this winter. Wealthy tribe."
"How is the recruitment of wandering herdsmen on the grassland?"
Yun Zhao turned over from the pile of furs and took the heavy golden Buddha. Give it to Yunjuan to play with.
“Three hundred households of wandering herdsmen have arrived.”
“Can you shoot arrows?”
“Yes, horseback riding and archery are a must for herdsmen. Without these two things, they can't live."
"I heard that the pacifying messengers of Jiannu are coming to us, you.Do you know who this comfort messenger is? "
" Chahar's deputy general Bao Chengxian was formerly a deputy general of the Ming Dynasty and a native of Yingxian County, Shanxi Province. He was later persuaded by Ning Wanwo to surrender and become a slave.
This person was the leader of the slave-building officials who were stationed in the Guihua City area this time.
If they are greedy and timid by nature, they can be killed. "
Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "No, since he is such a person, I think Barthel Merin should surrender to this person and be used by him.
Work harder, I think you can do it. ”
