Lin Yanchao just wanted to return to his hometown in a low-key manner, but ********, ******** came to greet him, which was enough to make the township uproar. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info A county order to travel is not a small matter, not to mention the prefect, the prefect's honor guard must be followed by a large group of people, which one does not know this out of the city.

The prefect and the county inspected the place, and the local squires and people with meritorious names had to go out to greet them, prepare the soil tribute, and the banquet was the least. Therefore, when the prefect's official title plate appeared in Hongtang Town, the entire Hongtang Town was a sensation. The squires didn't know what was going on, and they used to inform the place in advance, but they made a surprise attack.

Doesn't that catch them off guard?

The squires were in a hurry on the side of the road, beating gongs and drums to prepare to greet them, but they didn't expect the prefect, the prefect and the county did not mean to stay, and only appeased the gentry who greeted them, and even the sedan chair did not get off, and left.

The squires and scholars looked at the prefect, the dust of the county brigade, and they were at a loss, so they could only follow the footsteps of the prefect and the county and arrived at Hongshan Village.

At this moment, Hongshan Village is very lively. The officials, the officials, and the elders hugged each other in front of the village, hugging more than a dozen sedan chairs in front of Hongshan Village.

Lu Zhi County, Houguan County, got off the sedan chair, and lifted the sedan curtain in front of a blue-covered soft sedan car, and Li Yinglan, the prefect of Fuzhou, slowly got off the sedan chair. Hearing the noise of gongs and drums on all sides, Li Yinglan frowned. The chief beside the prefect immediately said, "Quick, quick, stop the gongs and drums." “

The officials with big gongs and drums immediately stopped, and Lu Zhixian flattered and said: "Futai, Hongshan Village has arrived." “

Li Yinglan looked reserved and nodded slightly.

The moment Li Yinglan got off the sedan chair, the old village chief took more than a dozen old people from the village and scholars to greet him, and bowed down in fear and said: "I don't know that the palace is coming, I can't meet you from afar, and I ask for forgiveness." “

Li Yinglan said with a smile on her face: "Where is the old man, it is the official who disturbed it." Excuse me, excuse me. “

As soon as Li Yinglan's words came out, the squires of Hongtang County on the side were all blinded, which was inevitably polite. Li Yinglan is considered an official and has a good reputation among the people. What is a good official voice? It's just because he didn't scrape the ground like the previous prefects.

As long as the magistrate who amasses a lot of money in office, he is already a good official. But after all, he is the prefect, the fourth grade, and he spoke so politely to a flat-headed person.

The old village chief was immediately moved and speechless when he heard this, it seems that the rumors outside are wrong, but our Ming pro-people officials are still very amiable and approachable. After the old village chief finished speaking, Lin Yanchao had already arrived to change his clothes, and he gave a salute as soon as he saw Li Yinglan.

But Li Yinglan took a step faster and said: "This mansion happened to go to Hongtang Town today to watch the wind, and I heard that Zhuang Yuanlang was here, so I stopped by to take a look." “

Li Yinglan is so coincidental, I just happened to pass by.

But everyone knows that Li Yinglan, the prefect, will not come to a place like Hongtang Town once a year after taking office, Lin Yanchao passed by as soon as he returned to his hometown, who would believe it. But who will not expose it at this moment, Li Yinglan and the following officials all said, yes, we are just passing by, purely passing by, by the way, there was a burst of laughter, and the atmosphere of the meeting was very good.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "Then the official Xie Mansion is willing to appreciate the light and cover the township." “

Then Lin Yanchao saluted Lu Zhixian next to the prefect.

At this time, Li Yinglan looked at the villagers beside Lin Yanchao and said with a smile: "These are all Lin Zhongyun's relatives, please introduce them for this official." “

Lin Yanchao immediately introduced the old village chief and villagers to Li Yinglan one by one.

The grass people were a little at a loss when they saw the salute one by one.

However, Li Yinglan is also very close to the people, as a prefect, he is not only a magistrate, but also a pro-people official, and has the responsibility of directly facing the people. At present, Li Yinglan asked the old village chief and the villagers like a homely person, will there be a bumper harvest this year? Is the local tax heavy? Can you live your life?

The old village chief saw that Li Yinglan was so kind, and said in his heart that others say that the prefect is so high, I don't think it will be, it is all spread by the people below.

The old village chief also forgot a little bit of proportion, and said very sincerely (heartily) and sincerely (machine) that although the field endowment is heavy, it can be accepted, but the fire consumption when the yamen is levied on weekdays, and the third office of the Lijia is a little heavier.

Listening to the words of the old village chief, the officials below are all sweating, and the fire consumption belongs to the bad rules of officialdom, isn't this a slap in the face in front of the prefect? On weekdays, no one will dare to mention it, and even if you dare to mention it, those wolf-like officials will slap you in the face.

But at this moment, everyone was laughing, saying that this question was asked very well, very representatively, and echoed the vital interests of the common people.

Li Yinglan also knows that this is related to the money bags of officials, and the taxes of the imperial court can be short, but the private pockets of officials can only be more, not less. So Li Yinglan said that the matter of fire consumption is a common habit of the government and is indispensable, but it can be reduced as appropriate in the Lijia Third Office.

The old village chief also mentioned this in passing, but he didn't expect that Li Yinglan would reduce the Lijia Third Office for them with a word, and the villagers were overjoyed when they heard it, and they called the mansion to be wise.

Li Yinglan nodded and said, "Heaven sees itself as the people, and the sky listens to the people.

These words were very reasonable and touching, so the officials expressed their respect for the government, and the common people really benefited, and shouted the name of Li Qingtian together, and everyone was very happy. As for Lin Yanchao, he never said a word, just smiled on the side.

In this peaceful atmosphere, several naughty children in Hongshan Village who didn't watch it also slipped out and saw the sedan chair for a while, so they drilled hide and seek under the sedan chair.

The sedan chair man next to the sedan chair, the officials didn't dare to scold, but just smiled and persuaded them to leave.

After that, the people of the village invited Li Yinglan and other officials to sit at the old village chief's house. There is no other reason, the old village chief's house is the largest in the village, and the only one who can see it.

But even if it is the largest, it can't accommodate too many people, except for Li Yinglan, Lin Yanchao Most of the people are outside, and the villagers have moved all the chairs, stools and other items at home, but it is not enough for these people to sit.

In the house, Li Yinglan and Lin Yanchao sat and drank tea together. Lin Yanchao knew that Li Yinglan was here to show his affection. However, Lin Yanchao knew that since Li Yinglan became the prefect, he had a very good reputation among the people, so he did not reject him.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Li Yinglan asked Lin Yanchao: "I don't know how well the teacher is safe?" ”

There are many teachers Lin Yanchao, but there is only one person who is worth asking Li Yinglan, and that is Shen Shixing, a university scholar.

Lin Yanchao replied: "Everything is fine with the teacher in Beijing. ”

Li Yinglan said with a smile: "Brother Ru Mo and I are both Jiajing forty-one years of Jinshi, and we belong to the same year, and you and I are not outsiders. (To be continued.) )
