Dai Tongzhi said that he would do it, and he went to Zhang Duo early the next morning, and said: "My lord, the lower officials thought carefully all night, and finally thought of a way to make the distribution of this relief fair and fair, and no one can say anything." ”

Zhang Da Fat Man just got up, was waiting for the two little maids to wash, his clothes were not changed, his hair was not combed, his cloak was like a round tumbler with a wig on his head, hearing Dai Tongzhi's words, Zhang Duo said strangely: "Do you really want to go?" The government plans to hold on for two days, and then send it out as it is. ”

Dai Tongzhi took the toothbrush from a little girl's hand, smeared it with the special toothpaste powder of Chinese herbal medicine bought from the "Wufangzhai" in the capital, and diligently stuffed it into the mouth of Zhang Da Fatty, while "washing and brushing" for him, he said: "In our Tongren Mansion, you are the emperor, of course, it is no problem for Qiangang to be arbitrary, but after all, this relief money is allocated by the imperial court. Besides, although Huxian is under the rule of a liuguan, and the relationship with you is so bad, Ye Xiaotian is your protégé after all, and he is a famous official. ”

Two white foams flowed down the corners of the fat man's mouth, as if two white beards, the fat man was dumbfounded for a long time, and finally waited for him to finish brushing, took the warm salt water from the other girl ring and rinsed his mouth, grabbed a towel and wiped his mouth, and then said: "What you said also makes sense, so what should you do in your opinion?" ”

Dai Tongzhi said to Zhang Duo: "Your Excellency may wish to distribute the Huxian relief silver in full according to the old practice, and on this basis, add three percent ......."

Zhang Duo had just widened his eyes, and Dai Tongzhi had already preemptively said: "Of course, officials from all over the country will be dissatisfied, but the adults will not immediately decide to allocate funds based on this, and there must be additional conditions. ”

Zhang Duo said suspiciously: "What are the additional conditions?" ”

Dai Tong knew: "Isn't Ye Xiaotian a famous official?" He has done a good job in Huxian County, and you will allocate more funds accordingly. But at the same time. Ye Xiaotian had to do one thing first, and that was to calm the battle over the Mercury Mountain. ”

Zhang Duo frowned and said: "Even the old man can't do anything about the muddy account of Mercury Mountain, can Ye Xiaotian do it?" ”

Dai Tongzhi said with a smile: "If he can't do it, he will naturally distribute it according to today's proportion, and everyone will be happy." If he can do it and solve this troublesome matter for you, my lord, you will share a few more percent of him, and what will others say? Of course, for the sake of fairness, the adults have to announce this in public. If other county officials are willing to nominate themselves, they can also give him this opportunity. ”

Zhang Da Fat Man thought about it, patted his round belly and said, "Okay!" It's just that Ye Xiaotian will agree? ”

Dai Tongzhi volunteered: "It's okay, the lower official can go and give him a little hint, it is not difficult to tell him about this matter, this is just the prefect You intend to take care of it, but you also need a reason to calm everyone's mouth." ”

Zhang Da Fat became happy and said, "Okay! You can do it. Tomorrow the county officials will be convened to discuss the matter. ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Dai Tongzhi fooled Zhang Da Fat, and went straight to the Great Compassion Temple to fool Ye Xiaotian.

Ye Xiaotian grew up among being fooled and fooled since he was a child. The Xuanzi Prison of the Heavenly Prison is full of corrupt officials planted in the hands of Brother Kong Fang, all of whom are extremely cunning and cunning. Seeing that Xiaotian was young, in order to fool him into doing something for free, they each came up with strange tricks, and Ye Xiaotian's sympathy was overflowing. Obediently help them run errands.

After being fooled again and again, Ye Xiaotian was finally fooled without blinking. Practicing to the point of fooling people without blinking, Dai Tongzhi knew how Ye Xiaotian believed these words.

"Mercury Mountain? I'm afraid there is a big trouble there, and even the prefect can't do anything, so he pushed this problem onto me, but what happened to the Mercury Mountain, I haven't even heard of this place. But...... After all, they are all under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, even if there are any contradictions, it should not be enough to use knives and guns? ”

Ye Xiaotian thought about it secretly, and Dai Chonghua saw that he was wary, so he said: "The prefect has already agreed to this matter, and I have no power to change it." If you don't want to, even if the official exhausts all his spare resources, he can only help you get ninety percent of the appropriation according to the old practice of last year, and there is not a penny more! ”

When Ye Xiaotian heard him say this, he had no choice but to treat the dead horse as a live horse doctor, anyway, he would not worry about his life, so he agreed to come down.

After sending Dai Tongzhi away, Ye Xiaotian wanted to inquire about Mercury Mountain, but he couldn't go to the street for no reason to ask someone to inquire, and with his experience as an official in the past few years, the truth is only clear to those who are in the officialdom.

Li Jiaoyu can ask for advice there, but Li Jiaoyu is also seeking funds for the school, and his son-in-law is seeking benefits for his connections, any of which are closer than himself, once the news is leaked, it will be unfavorable to him.

After thinking about it, Ye Xiaotian had to put down his temperament, wait until the "emperor list was revealed", and then ask Zhang Zhifu himself for advice, I believe that Zhang Duo will never hide it at that time, he can inquire about the most real situation.

The next day, Governor Zhang's Mansion gathered officials from various counties and counties to fight for relief, and Lafayette generally sat at the top, and Dai Tongzhi spoke for him.

Dai Tong knew: "The prefect knows the difficulties of the counties, and he wants to satisfy you, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." Nowadays, there are so many donations, and whoever returns satisfied, everyone else will probably be upset, so the prefect decided to ......"

The officials sitting on either side of the flanks straightened their chests and were engrossed. Just listen to Dai Tong knows: "Yimei Dongsi and Shiye Dongsi are the most barren, and they will be distributed in full according to the old practice!" All other divisions will be issued according to 90% of the old practice! What about the other divisions that deducted it......"

Dai Tongzhi looked around at the officials and said, "Whoever can solve a serious problem for the prefect will be distributed to the place as a reward." ”

All the officials said: "Dai Tongzhi, what is the big trouble?" Some of them didn't ask questions, but looked thoughtful, obviously thinking of something.

Dai Tongzhi spit out three words like fried beans: "Mercury Mountain!" ”

As soon as these three words came out, the lobby suddenly fell silent, and all the officials looked at each other, but no one spoke. Ye Xiaotian watched coldly, peeking at everyone's reactions, originally he was still a little worried that someone would jump out to grab business with him, but when he saw the cold scene, his heart couldn't help sinking, it seems that the trouble of Mercury Mountain is even stricter than he imagined.

Dai Tongzhi looked around and asked, "I don't know which adult is willing to come forward and share the worries of the prefect?" ”

There was a whisper in the hall, and all the officials shook their heads one after another, obviously not wanting to come out. Dai Tongzhi saw that everyone refused to come forward, so he quietly gave Ye Xiaotian a look to him, Ye Xiaotian coughed, slowly stood up and said, "A certain wish!" ”

"Hah!"

The Dawanshan Si Hongdong County Commander who was sitting next to him immediately sneered, raised his eyebrows, twitched the corners of his mouth, and turned his eyes half a circle disdainfully, and the local officials and lords from various counties and tribes looked at him one after another, full of admiration, as if Prince Dan and Gao gradually left their eyes to send Jing Ke south by boat.

This money is of great significance to these local officials, the local people under their rule are equivalent to their slaves, they can intercept this money if they want to, even if it is not easy to intercept it clearly, it can be distributed and then collected in the name of it, but Ye Xiaotian is a liuguan, and this money can't fall into his personal pocket, and now he even gives up his life, which is also quite hard.

Zhang Da Fat struggled to pull out a body of fat from the chair, looked at Ye Xiaotian with satisfaction, and almost blurted out: "Your wife is raised by me, you don't have to worry about it".

Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but feel a little furious when he saw them like this: "No, isn't it really worried about your life?" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ye Xiancheng even risked his life, even if the local officials were dissatisfied, what else could they say? They will never take the initiative to ask for help, but no one can figure out the bad debt in Mercury Mountain, they are sure that Ye Xiaotian will not succeed, and there is no need to rush for a while, just wait for him to fail, be disabled or even give his life, and everyone will come to divide the relief money.

Seeing this situation, Ye Xiaotian hurriedly made amends, and said to Zhang Da Fatzi: "Lord Prefect, what disputes there are in this Mercury Mountain, the lower officials are not clear. Moreover, the lower official does not know much about the area around the Mercury Mountain, so is it not necessary to ask an understanding person to accompany the lower official to the Mercury Mountain and explain it carefully to the lower official? ”

Ye Xiaotian looked at Dai Tongzhi and said very kindly: "Xia Guan thinks that Dai Tongzhi is a very suitable candidate. ”

Dai Chonghua was taken aback, and hurriedly shirked it: "No, no, no, if you can share the worries of the prefect, the official is naturally duty-bound, but the official is entangled in secular affairs, and he really can't leave." The person who accompanied Ye Xiancheng to the Mercury Mountain already had a candidate, and Ye Xiancheng could ask him for some details about the Mercury Mountain dispute. ”

Zhang Da Fat Man smiled and said, "Yes, the candidate to accompany you to the Mercury Mountain has been selected by this government." ”

He stretched out two chubby fleshy palms and clapped his hands three times, and there was a person in the hall who walked up with an elongated face and a look of displeasure. Ye Xiaotian saw that this person was not tall, his shoulders were slightly shaking, and his eyes were clams, it was Li Xiangrong.

Ye Xiaotian thought secretly: "Li experience to accompany me to Mercury Mountain?" Wouldn't it be more convenient for Dai Tongzhi to have an affair with the lady who Li experienced? He refuses to let go of this kind of opportunity, which is really admirable! ”

Ye Xiaotian looked at Li Shishi, who was unhappy, and thought: "This gentleman is covered with green clouds, and he also attracts sympathy." ”

Li Shi looked at Ye Xiaotian, who was eager to try, and thought: "This Junyin Hall is dark, I'm afraid it will be a disaster of blood and light." (To be continued......)
