Chapter 43: Miscellaneous
Zhao Hao stood behind Zhao Shouzheng, inconspicuous, except for Zheng Ruozeng, almost no one noticed this spiritual young man.
He said to Zheng Ruozeng last night, "In a few days, you will see my father's determination."
Unexpectedly, this morning, Zheng Ruozeng heard Zhao Erye's stunned declaration.
Not only Zheng Ruozeng, but also Gu Dadong and those old gentlemen were also stunned.
The attachΓ©s outside the pavilion couldn't help but talk a lot, and they all felt that the new magistrate was delusional.
"Old parents, the river embankment is winding and twisting, and it is sixty miles long." Gu Dadong couldn't help but remind Zhao Shouzheng that even if he only repaired a single embankment, it was not something that the county could afford.
"The official said that you don't need to pay for the embankment, let alone the people to pay for it, and the county has a way to solve it!" Zhao Shouzheng repeated his words, and then looked at the group of dogs with blazing eyes and said:
"But the premise is that this summer, I need your full cooperation to help the official organize the people, let them obey the official's orders, and go all out to defend their homeland!"
"No one is allowed to disagree with me until at least September!" After a pause, his gaze swept coldly over several of them: "As long as you can do it, this official can also do what he says!" β
"......" Gu Dadong and Zheng Ruozeng and the others looked at each other, and after a while, they said, "Yes!" β
"Haha, let's high-five and swear!"
Zhao Shouzheng stretched out his hand and high-fived the gentry one by one: "Let's work together to perform our duties to protect Kunbei from flooding this year!" If this oath is violated, the whole county will fight it! β
The homes, clansmen, and properties of these gentry are all in Kunbei, although when the flood comes, they can hide in the county seat. But such a large industry has to be destroyed, and after the disaster, it is necessary to provide relief to the clansmen and tenants who cannot eat, and the losses are naturally great.
So there is no need to worry about their enthusiasm for building embankments at all. They were just worried that the county magistrate would take the opportunity to force donations to collect money......
Now that the magistrate himself has stabbed his mouth to death, everyone's interests are suddenly aligned, and the attitude of the gentry is naturally correct.
That's why it's easy for rich people to make friends.
Zhao Shouzheng also asked each family to send one or two children to follow him throughout the flood season, so as to establish a smooth communication channel with each family.
"That's it, as long as the old parents do what they say, the men, women and children of my Zheng family will listen to the county's deployment!" Zheng Ruozeng called his two sons and said, "Ying Long, Yiluan, you will serve in front of your old parents in the future." β
Saying that, he introduced to Zhao Shouzheng: "After returning to his hometown, he served as a staff member of Su Songdao, and was entrusted by the Lord of Bingbei Dao to operate a small boat with his two sons to identify the Daoli Tongsai everywhere, investigate the situation and obstacles, and make a book of "Sanwu Water Conservancy Record", which has the most detailed hydrological map of the lower reaches of Taihu Lake, which is dedicated to the old parents for reference. β
Zhao Haoxin said, sure enough, it is the old map madman.
By the way, it was Zheng Ruo who marked the Diaoyu Islands on my country's maritime boundary map.
"Thank you, thank you." Zhao Shouzheng picked up Zheng Yinglong and Zheng Yiluan, and took over the "Sanwu Water Conservancy Record" wrapped in oilcloth like a treasure.
Gu Dadong and the others also assigned their own children to follow their old parents to obey their orders.
On this first inspection, Zhao Shouzheng naturally would not rashly propose a specific plan for repairing the embankment...... Mainly because the teenager behind him hasn't figured it out yet.
He just ordered each family to patrol a section of the embankment, and report it in time if there is any danger.
At this time, He Xiancheng also came with the group of officials in the county, and Zhao Shouzheng let go of the tired gentry and went home to rest.
looked at those gentry who didn't like to deal with people on weekdays, but one by one they became low-brow and pleasing in front of the eldest lord, and they actually left their children to serve with him.
This made He Xiancheng and others feel incomprehensible, I don't know where the old man has such a great charm?
Without thinking about it, He Wenwei hurriedly led the crowd to salute the eldest master, and then pleaded guilty.
"It's because the official didn't call you, what kind of crime are you?" Zhao Shouzheng waved his hand and motioned for them to get up.
After Xie En got up, the officials set up in shifts in the grass pavilion, which was regarded as making up for the morning yashen.
Zhao Erye sat on the horse with a big sword and a golden horse, his eyes slowly swept over the group of miscellaneous officials and subordinates, and said with a faint smile:
"He, Lord Tuesday talked about it yesterday. The rest of you are still very angry, so you might as well introduce yourself first. β
"Yes!" The officials secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and finally felt less panicked.
"Xiaguan Benxian Dianshi Xiong Xiasheng!" Xiong Dianshi, who was evaluated as difficult to mess with by the former magistrate, took the lead in saluting.
Although among the rest of the officials, there are those who are higher in rank than him, but the unpopular Dianshi has a formal official in the county office, and is in charge of one of the two most important errands in a county, the criminal name, so it is indisputably ranked fourth.
The county officials, the main books and the canonical history are the second officials of a county, and the rest are miscellaneous officials.
The head of the miscellaneous officials is the principal and vice principal of Kunshan County School, Wu Jiaoyu and Lu Xundao, the former is from a lifting background, and the latter is a tribute student. Therefore, although the county school is hard and irrelevant, the scholar is born on the right path, and his status is naturally above all miscellaneous officials.
Li Zhen was originally going to manage the school for Zhao Shouzheng, but Zhao Erye was suddenly assigned to act Kunshan. I've heard that there is an acting county governor, but I haven't heard of an acting county school, so Li Zhen is still the teacher of Wu County, so naturally he won't show up here.
After the two retreated, two officials from the nine products, the inspection department inspected Zheng Qian; Deputy Inspector Hua Qian stepped forward and saluted.
The Inspection Department was set up to maintain law and order in areas far from the county seat, commanding 30 to 50 archers, responsible for inspecting passers-by, cracking down on smuggling, and arresting thieves.
The inspection department of this county is located in Jinxi Town, the southernmost part of the county, which is quite a bit of a mountain high and the emperor is far away. Be a blessing on weekdays, and don't be too comfortable in life.
It's just that Jinxi Town is in the middle of the two lakes in Kunnan, and now the water is no longer above the chest. The chief and deputy director of the Jinxi Town Police Station had no choice but to take their archers into the county seat and obey the deployment of the magistrate.
Then there were the three ambassadors of the county, Ambassador Zhu, who was in charge of the taxation bureau of Shangjia, Yutu, and miscellaneous cities.
Ambassador Niu of the Wholesale Inspection Institute, which is in charge of the resale of tea and salt, and Ambassador Yang, who is in charge of collecting fish tax.
These three are all miscellaneous officials, but they are all envied by everyone, and they are fat.
Then there is the bitter team of county post officers...... The ambassador of Kunshan Station, the shop of the express delivery shop and the ambassador of the delivery station.
The caravanserais is the official guest house for the reception of transit officials; The express delivery shop is the Daming Post Office that specializes in delivering letters, just like the 800-mile expedited is what they are responsible for delivering; The courier office is a state-owned courier agency that assists in the transportation of military supplies and tribute.
In short, they are all drudgeries that see people are three points shorter and serve people.
These are all the life-saving miscellaneous officials in a county.
