Chapter 380 Listen to the third master
It was dark, and there were so many people, everyone was attracted. Except for Wen Jiuxiao's confidant, no one saw Yu Zhi quietly returning to the back house. Everyone only saw the magistrate taking people out, and they all thought it was him.
In fact, everyone also had some guesses in their hearts. They couldn’t see what was in the box, but they could feel what was in the bag. Grain! And these people who are tied, too obvious, okay?
He didn't say anything, but he was very happy in his heart. No wonder the county magistrate repaired the city walls and paved roads, and paid such high wages to the workers. Before they were worried that they would not be able to pay the wages. It turned out that the county magistrate knew it well!
So many things have entered the county government, so why worry about wages? Oh, the magistrate is really capable.
After Yu Zhi took a bath and changed clothes for dinner, he felt fine again. She sat cross-legged on the bed, filled with righteous indignation, "...you didn't see it, when I thought of the lives that died at their hands, I didn't leave a blade of grass, it's too hateful. If it wasn't for fear of attracting others' attention, the people on the mountain I want to burn the bandits’ house and the inn, and burn them down. If you say you want to rob, then rob, if you want the property, don’t hurt people!”
She thumped the pillow hard, "The county magistrate of Shachi County heard that the surname is Qu, right? It's really not a thing, but it's just pretending to hold the money from the court to suppress bandits, and it doesn't do anything at all. Isn't this just an official bandit?" Collusion? Third Master, can you join him for a copy? "
"Difficult." Wen Jiuxiao shook his head and reminded: "Don't forget that I am equal to him now. Besides, what about the evidence?"
"So many bandits are not evidence?" Yu Zhi was not convinced.
Wen Jiuxiao said: "It's not as simple as you think, and he will bite me back then."
Yu Zhi thought of the bandits in Shachi County, but she brought them to Shanyun County. He was indeed suspected of meddling in the government affairs of other counties.
"That's not true. There is nothing you can do about him now, but it doesn't mean you can't do anything about him in the future." He didn't know that before, but now that he is the county magistrate of Shanyun County, he has a neighbor who is not good enough, so he can't do it either. rest assured.
"Really?" Yu Zhi was pleasantly surprised, and threw himself in front of Wen Jiuxiao, flattering him flatteringly, "I knew that the third master was wise and powerful, brave and resourceful, and he was the most extraordinary man in the world!"
Wen Jiuxiao's mouth twitched, and Yu Xiaozhi used idioms indiscriminately when he was happy. Can this problem be corrected?
"You, it's better than anything else to make me worry less. You must bring enough people when you go out in the future." This time, he was careless. She was wandering around the city before, who would have thought that she would run to the desert Go to the boundary of Chi County?
Yu Zhi was very resistant, and wanted to say that there was no need at all, she and He Xiaodie could kill all directions. But facing Shangwen Jiuxiao's deep black eyes, he compromised, "Okay, listen to the third master."
Anyway, she doesn't go out recently. As for the future, isn't it up to her how many people she will bring? At worst, she would only go out when he was not around.
After Song Yi'an entered the yamen, after Wen Jiuxiao talked with him, he found that he was very proficient in common affairs, and knew all the villages and towns in Shanyun County like the back of his hand, and could even tell which village had a lot of land and which village had poor land. The rations are all supported by wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains.
Wen Jiuxiao was overjoyed. He didn't expect to pick out an available talent, so he gave him a task, that is, a census of the population. He found out when the New Year's gift was issued during the New Year. The household registration book kept by the county government was too old and had not been updated in time. Many old people who have passed away for many years are still on the booklet, and some children who are seven or eight years old are still black households.
Shanyun County has a large land area and few people, and the villages are scattered. Some villagers will under-report or conceal the population of their families in order to pay less poll tax. Therefore, the census has to do the ideological work of these people. It is a arduous task to make troublesome people out of poor mountains and rivers.
For this reason, Wen Jiuxiao not only transferred Song Yi'an's recorded documents, but also gave him four guards.
Song Yi'an was very excited. He knew that this was the county magistrate's test and value for him. He must do his job well and live up to the adults' appreciation for him. Although he had only been in the Yamen for a few days, he was impressed by the lord's resolute way of doing things. My lord is a good official, a good official who is willing to do practical things for the people, following such a lord, he will surely be able to realize his ambition.
Song Lixian failed to get into the yamen, felt ashamed to face others, and locked himself in his room every day. It's fine if he didn't pass the exam, but his eldest brother, whom he always looked down upon, entered the Yamen, how could he be reconciled to this? Either he was drunk, or he didn't say a word, but he was worried about his father.
He is a good son of a scholar, because of this blow, he has become decadent, and Patriarch Song always feels that he is not worth it when he thinks about it. Since my son can pass the examination of scholar, he must have good talent and learning, so don't think about anything else, just be a head office of copying and writing documents? Why don't you ask your eldest son to help you introduce him? What can a test reveal? What's more, the exams are all Lixian is not good at. He is young, so he is inevitably nervous, and it is understandable that he did not pass the exam.
As long as people come to the county magistrate, the county magistrate will know that Lixian has talent after a long time.
Patriarch Song still had great expectations for his second son, thinking that he has real talents and learning, and the last exam was just a mistake. He knocked on the sidelines of the eldest son several times, but the eldest son didn't answer, or just took the conversation off, which made him very annoyed. However, this eldest son is different from before, and it is not easy for him to teach him the same way as before.
Song Yi'an understood his father's thoughts, and also knew that a family of brothers should watch over and help each other, but with the temperament of the second brother, would he dare to help introduce him? He himself is still trembling in the Yamen, how dare he take trouble?
Fortunately, he was busy, leaving early and returning late to bring people down to the village, even if his father was dissatisfied with him, he couldn't find a chance to reprimand him. Even if I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law, I still have to stay in the mansion to watch my mother's face.
Soon, Patriarch Song knew what the eldest son was up to, and frowned tightly. This is not a good job. It is tiring and troublesome. Doesn’t it mean that the eldest son is valued by the county magistrate? He had to doubt the authenticity of these words.
Song Lixian's reaction was much more direct, with a sneer and a mocking face. That's right, just relying on the elder brother, what kind of county magistrate can he value? He will put gold on his face, how about it, show it off? He should do such a hard and tiring job! He has been a handyman all his life.
Song Lixian, who had been decadent for many days, was willing to leave the yard because his elder brother went to the village for a census!
I have to say that ignorance is terrible.
At this time, the Marquis of Wu'an in the capital city also received a letter from Wen Jiuxiao's family.
