The magistrate of Taiping County has been in dire straits recently, because of its unfavorable flood control, the people in its jurisdiction have suffered countless deaths and injuries, especially the villages near the rivers such as Xiangxi, Machuan River, and Zhuxi River have been the most severely affected, a total of 56 villages have been razed to the ground by floods overnight, and there are only a handful of survivors in each village, and the other towns and villages are not much better, and the white bones are abandoned in the wilderness, and white flags are hung everywhere in the entire Taiping County, and more than 90 percent of the people have become disaster victims, and they are suffering from hunger and cold, and they are full of sorrow and tragedy in the world.

If the other brother counties were also affected by the disaster, the situation of the magistrate of Taiping County may be better.

However, Jingnan County, which is closest to Taiping County and has the most intersections, is a different scene.

Because Zhu Ping'an, the magistrate of Jingnan County, took precautions in advance before the flood, although Jingnan was not spared from the flood, Jingnan County did not lose a single person in this once-in-a-century flood.

On the one hand, there are countless casualties and white bones are tired, and on the other hand, there is no one who is damaged, and the contrast is stark! highlights his incompetence in Taipingzhi County! also set off the peer Zhu Ping'an, who he didn't like to look at, envied and hated, and was extremely good!

It is also for this reason that the surviving people in Taiping County complained and scolded him endlessly!

In particular, I don't know who reported that Zhu Ping'an, the county governor of Jingnan, had sent a letter to them a few days in advance to remind them of flood control and flood control, but it was torn up and thrown away as garbage by their "good" county.

People used to scold people with words such as stupid pigs and stupid dogs, but now they use the name of Taiping County instead of pigs and dogs.

People in Taiping County are displaced, and the shelter where they gather in the wilderness is called "Taiping Zhixian Village", the grass pile where people sleep is called "Taiping Zhixian Bed", the wild vegetables that are eaten to satisfy hunger are called "Taiping Zhixian Delicacies", and the grasshoppers and other insects that improve food are called "Taiping Zhixian meat......

In short, in Taiping County, Taiping Zhi County is synonymous with a series of words such as "stupid" and "incompetent".

"Since the floods, the official has been doing his best to organize disaster relief, and there has never been a day of leisure, why can't they see it?! Everyone looks sideways at the official, and everyone scolds the official......"

Taiping Zhixian walked around with his hands behind his back in the county office, and his eyebrows were full of irritability, and he said angrily.

"The foolish people are the most short-sighted, and they can't see the hard work of Dong Weng, and they can have their current life, but they don't all rely on Dong Weng's hard work. Please also ask Dong Weng to calm his anger and take care of his body, we can't leave Dong Weng in Taiping County. ”

The staff whispered comfortingly.

"Alas...... If everyone can understand the hard work of the official like you, then the official will be easy to do. ”

Taiping Zhixian sighed, reached out and patted the staff on the shoulder, which was very useful for the staff's consolation.

"Alas, not to mention that, how is the construction of the resettlement area for the victims?" Taiping Zhixian asked the staff.

Although Taiping Zhixian never said that he regretted it, his intestines were blue in his heart, and he regretted that he didn't listen to Zhu Ping'an's words at that time, so he has been sending people to pay close attention to what Zhu Ping'an did in neighboring counties these days, and secretly learn Zhu Ping'an's disaster relief methods and methods, such as the resettlement area for disaster victims is the Jingnan flood shelter area where he stole his teacher. However, due to some ulterior considerations, Taiping Zhi County renamed the flood shelter area as the resettlement area for the victims.

"Back to Dongweng, we came back from the resettlement area, and now the site of the resettlement area has been leveled. Coordination is underway for the transportation of timber and thatch, and it is estimated that the construction of shantytowns for the victims will begin in the afternoon. ”

The staff replied.

"How did you level the site, the progress is too slow, didn't you start leveling the site three days ago? It only took one or two days to build the flood shelter in Jingnan, and everything was done, including leveling the land and building shantytowns. ”

Taiping Zhixian said dissatisfiedly.

"Back to Dong Weng, the people below are cheating and cheating, and the victims are unwilling to contribute, this is still the result that I have been staring at, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to level the venue for another three or five days." The staff wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied with a wry smile.

He didn't say some words, Dong Weng didn't go to the resettlement area for the victims, he didn't know the situation at the scene, there was no supply of silver taels and grain and grass, he just blindly used administrative orders to force the people below and the victims to work hard, how could he get up quickly, and the prestige of the county government was not as good as it was among the people.

"This group of Diao people, the officials have worked so hard to build flood shelters, no, who are the resettlement areas for the disaster victims?! It's really unreasonable to be reluctant to even give up a handful of strength........ They deserve it! When Taiping Zhixian heard this, he couldn't help but scold, and after scolding, he turned his head and asked his staff, "By the way, I let you keep an eye on Jingnan, what are the new actions over there recently?" ”

"What's the matter, what peerless plan did he come up with?"

After Taiping Zhixian finished asking, he saw a strange expression on the face of the staff, and immediately asked nervously.

First, he hoped that Zhu Ping'an would come up with some good plan, and he would steal the teacher; Second, he was worried that Zhu Ping'an would come up with some good plan, otherwise he would be a counterpoint to Zhu Ping'an when Taiping County and Jingnan County were compared!

"Dong Weng, Lord Zhu, he ......" The staff member shook his head when he heard this, and said with a very complicated expression.

"What's wrong with him?! Say it quickly. Taiping Zhixian couldn't help but urge.

"Dong Weng, Lord Zhu, he issued an official document in various parts of Jingnan, and the official document defined the price of grain in all parts of Jingnan as 2,500 wen per stone." The staff member said with a look of disbelief on his face.

"What? Two thousand five hundred wen per stone?! When Taiping Zhixian heard this, his shocked face changed.

"Dong On, as hard as it is believable, it is. I also rode a horse to Jingnan to verify it, and saw this official document with my own eyes, and the official document was also stamped with the bright red seal of Jingnan Zhixian County! Grain shops in various parts of Jingnan have indeed raised the price of grain to 2,500 wen per stone. The staff said.

"Is he Zhu Ping'an crazy? At the moment of the flood, from the capital city, those grain merchants who raise prices, or behead or go to prison, are using thunderous means to reduce food prices! He actually went against the grain and raised the price of food so high?! What's in it for him to do that?! ”

Taiping Zhixian gasped, unbelievable that Zhu Ping'an would make such a policy.

"What's in it for him?! Ahem, the county heard that grain merchants from all over Jingnan were lining up to give Zhu Ping'an thank-you gifts, and Zhu Ping'an received the gifts softly...... There were also some grain merchants from other places who rushed to Jingnan to make a fortune after hearing the news, and Zhu Ping'an also sent people in the name of 'fundraising', so it was an autumn wind! According to the grapevine, Zhu Ping'an received this number of gifts. The staff sneered and gestured.

"Eight thousand taels? So much! Taiping Zhixian opened his mouth wide in shock.

"It's 80,000 taels!" The staff corrected.

"What, eighty thousand taels ?!!" When Taiping Zhixian heard this, his eyes were about to pop out, not only prominent, but also red as bloodshot, "Zhu Ping'an's ability to hold money is also a top talent!" ”

After the shock and redness, Taiping Zhixian turned around in place twice with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help but curse in his mouth!

How can you steal this special teacher!

If I steal from you again, my family's ancestral grave will not be dug up by the angry people of Taiping County!

Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Ping'an, I didn't expect you to be such a person!

During this period of flooding, I have put aside my previous suspicions and do not hesitate to learn from you! I didn't expect you to become a corrupt official!

However, this is fine, after Taiping Zhixian scolded a few times, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, he beckoned to the staff, and instructed him, "Quickly spread the news!" The wider the spread, the better, and the farther the better! Hmph, let those foolish people see what kind of face they have in their hearts and mouths to praise! By the way, later, you will draft an official document for me, and I will expose the impeachment of Zhu Ping'an to the Fuzun. ”
