Chapter 232: Crowding
The further you go, the harder it becomes to listen.
Common people?
It's not that Su Ruojin wants to criticize whomever, but if the people can earn a bite to eat, they don't care if they are the county magistrate's daughter or anyone else, as long as they make money and buy food, they will be their food and clothing parents.
Now they are so 'smart', someone is obviously setting the pace!
Su Ruojin moved to Uncle Shutong and asked, "What happened recently?"
Shu Tong replied, "The dismissed boss Bo and the county magistrate are back. Their families are a large gentry family in Weizhou County."
She just said, what do these people want to do? After killing Su Yanli, they can be restored to their original positions?
It is obviously impossible for the official to be restored to his original position. That is the second possibility. They want to drag Su Yanli into trouble, but her father is an upright scholar and will not collude with them, so they want to squeeze him away and wait for the court to return. Send people over, and if they still disobey, they will continue to cause trouble until they meet the county magistrate who listens to them.
Perhaps this is how the previous county magistrate died.
Regardless of whether it is ancient or modern times, local governors are not locals, but are held by outsiders.
why?
It is difficult for local people to avoid giving gifts due to family ties, so if you are from other places, the relationship will be simpler, but generally the deputy position will be local, which will facilitate work.
Therefore, from ancient times to the present, there are provisions that clearly stipulate that local governors are not only outsiders, but also cannot serve for too long. Or when they are promoted due to outstanding political achievements, they will generally not be promoted locally, but will be transferred to other places for promotion in order to create new people. Intertwined relationships are not conducive to management.
Su Ruojin signaled Shu Tongshu to change positions. She stood next to Su Yanli and reminded in a low voice, "Dad, they deliberately let people come to the Yamen to find you to advocate for justice, just to have you stand in front of the people now and say something that is not good and corrupt. Your and your daughter's reputation.”
Su Yanli also realized that he had fallen into someone else's trap. He knew that officialdom was not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect that a little **** could fall into his trap. He hated that he had not done much before, so he was tricked by others.
Su Yanli looked at her daughter.
She nodded.
He nodded almost invisible in response.
He put his hands behind his back, looked stern, and shouted to Pei Changxu, "Sir, come here."
Pei Changxu and Fat Changgui were both stunned, and both stopped their verbal spat.
He turned around to Su Yanli, cupped his hands and said, "Sir—"
"According to the rules of the trading house, mix in one or two grains of sand, pay for one pound of grain, and ask Maji Liang Shop to pay for it directly. If they don't pay, file a case and urge them to pay. Come here every day until they pay."
Pei Changxu was stunned and couldn't recover. He looked at the young lady and suddenly realized, damn, why is he not as transparent as a young lady? He immediately shouted, "Yes, sir."
The sound was loud.
Suddenly the people watching became quiet.
Su Yanli glanced at the fat shopkeeper, flicked his sleeves, and left with full authority.
what happened? Why don't you stop making trouble? The fat shopkeeper winked at his waiters, and the group of people who were just pretending to pull each other around suddenly started fighting.
The scene instantly got out of control.
Su Sanlang screamed, stepped forward to protect his father, and swept one by one with his long legs.
"Didn't you hear Mr. Su's verdict?" Ten-year-old Su Sanlang punched left and hooked right, and the fight was just like playing. Huaping shook his head. He was a ten-year-old child after all. He also joined the fight. He beat more than a dozen guys to the point of crying for their fathers and mothers, and the scene was stopped instantly.
The fat shopkeeper stepped back unconsciously.
With an official look on his face, Su Yanli turned around and walked up to him, "Very good." After saying that, he smiled gently.
The fat shopkeeper's hair stood on end with his smile, and he took a few steps back.
Su Yanli smiled even gentler, withdrew his gaze and looked at the people watching. He instantly retracted his smile, and once again put on the face of a superior. '
Onlookers: ...why do you feel that the county magistrate looks unhappy and not to be trifled with?
This face became comparable to Sichuan Opera.
Su Ruojin secretly smiled proudly, thinking that his father probably thought of the story she told about serving porridge mixed with sand.
Sure enough, when he got home, Su Yanli first praised his son Su Sanlang so much that he didn't even want to practice writing after dinner. His father scorned him. Why don't you try writing?
Su Sanlang, who liked martial arts and disliked writing, had no choice but to puff out his lips and go to practice calligraphy immediately.
In the dining room, Su Yanli lamented the intrigues in the officialdom, but also realized what kind of peace of mind he should have to be a hard-working county magistrate.
Mr. Pei was confused when he heard this, "Sir, you said that porridge is mixed with sand..."
Su Yanli said, "This is a story I once heard. It tells that a high-ranking official of the imperial court went to receive relief porridge when he met people who had food to eat, so he thought of a way to mix sand into the porridge, so those with good conditions would They stopped eating, and the porridge fell into the stomachs of the real victims.”
Just an hour ago, Su Yanli had always shown integrity and righteousness in his official career. Originally, he wanted to make a career with such an official, but when he actually worked with such a scholarly official, he discovered that integrity would Becoming a target of attacks by politicians, righteousness will only allow others to take advantage of it, such as what happened just now.
The old man took advantage of Su Yanli's righteousness to invite people to the shop, but in the end, he turned into a crusade against the vegetable shop. This was clearly taken advantage of by others.
Bad officials are despised, so why are good officials so hard to get?
Just when the chaos was overwhelming, Mr. Su quickly cut through the mess, obviously doing things according to the rules, but actually taking the opportunity to throw away his hands.
He stroked his beard and said, "Sir, I understand. What you mean is that you can ask the grain store to pay as much as you're responsible for doing things. As for whether the grain store should pay compensation, you can just let the Yamen pay for it. You can't pay it." Just waiting for your chance, right?"
Su Yanli nodded.
"Why wait for an opportunity?" Mr. Pei said with a smile, "Because you want their rough noodles to be mixed with sand, so that people from nearby counties will probably not come, so the people in our county can buy more life-saving food. ”
"That's right." Su Yanli nodded with a smile and glanced at his daughter. The father and daughter smiled knowingly. Except for Su Dalang, no one probably knew that this story was told by his daughter.
Unexpectedly, after returning from the capital, Weizhou County would become complicated.
Huaping reported the investigation back to the young lady: "Ma Ji Grain Store belongs to the wife of the County Prime Minister's mother-in-law. It has always been next to the big tree called the County Prime Minister, and it has done a lot of things to deceive the people."
"So, they are still selling it mixed with sand today?"
Huaping nodded: "Yes."
"Then let them mix it." When there is a shortage of food, it indirectly leaves food for the people to eat. When there is no shortage, Su Ruojin smiled, that is when the people take care of them.
Hua Ping and Ye Huaizhen didn't understand what was going on here. They both frowned, "Second Lady, won't you drive away such a profiteer?"
Su Ruojin smiled and said, "What's the rush?"
Just let them be arrogant and arrogant.
