Chapter 44: Raising Food
Dropping a shocking poem, Xiao Mo ran away, Li Yuanwai, who originally thought that he could make Xiao Mo embarrassed this time, felt that a punch hit the air, and he faintly felt that he didn't seem to let Xiao Mo out of trouble this time, but also helped Xiao Mo and made him out of the limelight. 【&n】
There is no doubt that compared with Deng Ying's poem, Xiao Mo's poem is better, and a single sentence of 'confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other', makes Deng Ying's four poems lifeless.
And Miss Zhilan also got the manuscript of the poem, her eyes were full of surprise, although she didn't say anything, but Miss Zhilan opened her mouth to Li Yuanwai, hoping to bring the manuscript back with her!
This time Xiao Mo made a poem in the Li Mansion, and he didn't take it away, of course the poem was given to Du Teng, but this poem manuscript, of course, belongs to Li Yuanwai, but Miss Zhilan has opened it, can Li Yuanwai agree?
So after the girl Zhilan got the manuscript of the poem, she smiled with satisfaction, and the remaining three talents of Yushan Academy, in front of the poem "Confidant in the sea, if the end of the world is next to each other", they all felt pale and powerless, and they were no longer embarrassed to compose poems.
However, after sending Du Teng and the three talented people and Miss Zhilan away, Li Yuanwai closed the door with those squires, and then discussed something!
Obviously, Xiao Mo's attitude just now made Li Yuanwai very angry, and the consequences were very serious......
Xiao Mo left the Li Mansion and did not go home directly, but came to the yamen, and after confessing that Zhou Kui was sentry outside the study, Xiao Mo saw Li Ji.
"Your Excellency!"
"Oh, it's Ziheng, hehe...... Looking for the official so late, but something? ”
"My lord, what about Lord Zhou?"
didn't see Zhou Chang, Xiao Mo was a little surprised, so he asked.
Li Ji laughed: "You ask him!" Bo Yuan has already returned to the state capital...... Didn't you go to Li Yuanwai's house for a feast? ”
Xiao Mo had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Hongmen Banquet, it's still the kind of ...... that can't eat enough in your stomach."
Seeing Xiao Mo's aggrieved look, Li Ji laughed, pointed at Xiao Mo, and then shook his head: "You, don't pretend, how did I hear that you had dinner in the yamen?" ”
"You know all this?" Xiao Mo muttered in his heart, it seems that Li Ji is also a master of the door, and he was even stared at by him when he had dinner in the yamen.
For Zhou Chang to go back to Luzhou, Xiao Mo didn't ask much, Li Ji didn't say, he couldn't ask, it was estimated that there was something important, this time Xiao Mo came to Li Ji, in fact, he came to give Li Ji an epidemic shot.
Xiao Mo told Li Ji a little about what happened at the banquet, of course, Xiao Mo didn't say anything about the poem, because there was no need, when Li Ji heard Li Yuanwai and Xiao Mo talking very unpleasantly, Li Ji's brows furrowed, and both eyebrows were squeezed together.
"So you can't talk about going together?"
Xiao Mo shook his head: "You can't talk about it at all, and no one will give you a chance to speak!" ”
didn't lie, what Xiao Mo said was the truth, because he didn't have a chance to open his mouth at all, although Li Yuanwai found Xiao Mo in the end, but the posture at that time, can it be the same?
first find someone to make others unable to get off the stage, and then smile at him, really when others don't have a little blood?
Li Ji also felt a little embarrassed, looked at Xiao Mo dryly, and asked, "Ziheng, is there any room?" ”
Xiao Mo stared at Li Ji and shook his head slowly, Li Ji still didn't give up: "What about the grain?" Ziheng, now that the county is short of grain, only in the hands of these squires can there be food ...... for Shen County to spend the summer."
"But they won't hand it over." Xiao Mo interrupted Li Ji's words: "Even if they are willing to give the county grain, but adults don't forget, the current price of grain has risen to two taels of silver and one stone, and the grain in their hands is only afraid that it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver before we can take it, dare to ask my lord, where does the county get the money to buy the rice in the hands of these gentry?" ”
When Li Ji heard this, he felt that Xiao Mo was right, the current Shen County is indeed very difficult, but no matter how difficult it is, the people's food must always be guaranteed. "Ziheng, the people take food as the sky, you promised before, after distributing the grain from Fengping to the three towns, you can find grain for the county!"
There is really no way, Li Ji can only push it to Xiao Mo, who told Xiao Mo that when he wanted to close the position, he promised so neatly?
Xiao Mo said: "Of course, this is also the reason why the lower officials came to find the adult tonight, the adult is the respect of a county, and Xiao Mo can provide the origin of this grain, but as for whether these grains can come to the county seat and enter Fengping, it depends on the adult!" ”
How is this still mysterious? Li Ji was anxious, so he asked: "Ziheng has something to say, as long as you don't let the official take the soldiers and horses of the City Supervision Division to the house of the gentry, no matter what, the official will fully cooperate with you!" ”
"What you said, but seriously?" Xiao Mo squeezed his eyebrows.
"Seriously!" Li Jiyi gritted his teeth and agreed, but he had a bad feeling in his heart, and then looking at Xiao Mo's smiling face, Li Ji wiped his sweat and hurriedly asked, "Say, what do you want this official to do?" ”
"Then your Excellency should sign this document first!"
Xiao Mo smiled and took out a document from his sleeve, Li Ji took it and looked at it, and it was written: The county's Shaofu, Xiao Mo Xiao Ziheng, during the period when the official left the county to raise grain, he was in charge of the county's affairs, and the county order Li Jizi of Shen County!
Li Ji put the paperwork on the table and glanced at Xiao Mo: "Ziheng, why is this?" ”
Just kidding, if you want to let the dignified county order give up his power, if you don't make it clear, even if Li Ji trusts Xiao Mo very much, it is impossible.
After all, this matter is related to the black gauze hat on Li Ji's head!
Xiao Mo knew that Li Ji was suspicious, and now he was afraid that he would be very dissatisfied with himself, but Xiao Mo still had to say: "My lord, the adult must know the meaning of the paperwork, that's right, this time, the adult is only afraid that he will have to leave Shen County for some time, in this case, the lower officials can fight with those squires to see who is tougher!" ”
"Is that all?" Li Ji asked suspiciously, and then his face changed: "It's too child's play!" Xiao Mo, what is your position as the county magistrate? Do children play at home? ”
was counted twice by Li Ji, Xiao Mo was not angry, but whispered a few words in Li Ji's ear, Li Ji listened, his anger disappeared immediately, and he looked at Xiao Mo in surprise: "Ziheng, is this really okay?" ”
As soon as the anger subsided, he immediately called Ziheng, and Li Ji's temper became fast enough.
"At present, this is the only way, but before the adults leave, they have to go to Lord Zhou and let the adults sign an approval note, otherwise during their tenure, they will leave Shen County without permission, and I am afraid that the above will blame the adults! Also, my lord, remember that this time the county can only give the adults twenty days, and after twenty days, the water must see the ships carrying the grain! "Xiao Mo said very carefully!
"Twenty days to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it's enough, but what the official is worried about is that these grain merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are really willing to come to Shen County?" Li Ji thought about it and touched his beard, and then said what was in his heart!
