Chapter 95: Only when the people agree can they be promoted

As soon as the old man said that, this time it was not just the two brothers who were confused. Some people who didn't know the details were also in a daze. A person who ran to Lingnan to be the governor can control who the county magistrate was here? It seems that the assignment and assessment of the county magistrate was the final decision of the emperor?

Even if it is some unimportant small counties, it is arranged by the local state governor. When will it be the matter of crossing the prefectures to designate the county magistrate?

"I don't believe it, aren't you afraid that someone will impeach?" A tourist in the crowd said that he didn't believe anything like this. He could accept that a person under 30 years old would be the top scorer. After all, there are even younger people who are the top scorer. He could understand that he would be the governor of a state under 30. After all, he was in Lingnan. But if he could say that he could manage the affairs of officials here so far, he would never admit it. After all... After all, this big thing is too lingering.

The voice was quite loud, and everyone around looked at the man. Seeing the clothes he was wearing, the jade used to press clothes, and the expression on his face, he knew that he was a young master from an official family and wanted to know something about the official.

The old man who looked at the pavilion looked at the young master a few times, and said with a confident look: "The county magistrate of this county is now Zhao Xiang and Zhao County. He will go to the capital to do things this winter. The next county magistrate is the current magistrate Zhang Mingsheng and Zhang Zhubo. If you don't believe it, just wait and see.

The next chief magistrate is the current county magistrate, the next county magistrate is the current county magistrate Wang, and there is a county magistrate Zheng Wencoun. All the people of Sanshui County already know that Zheng Wencoun competed for the position of county magistrate with his younger brother Zheng Daobili, and the people chose Zheng Wencoun.

His younger brother can only wait for the next time. If he does it well, he can take over the position of his brother. If he doesn’t do it well, he will come up. He is only twenty-one years old. It’s better to stay below for two years and do something practical.”

The young master of this official family had only one idea when he heard the old man's words, that was, he was arrogant. He was so arrogant. In this way, the county magistrate of Sanshui County was one level and one level. After waiting, he arranged the swordsman in one breath. Whose official was it?

"Whose official is it?" The young master said directly what he was thinking.

"The parents are naturally officials of the people. Zheng Wen's copycat is because the people say it is good and think it is done more than his brother, so that he can have a position. The people don't say it is good. Even the current magistrate Zhao County has to find other places by himself. Don't want to stay in Sanshui County. Sanshui County should not have mediocre officials or corrupt officials.

Impulse? How could there be no impeachment? It is said that the emperor said that whoever impeaches will arrange for individuals to come to be the county magistrate. The rent and tax paid to the court every year is only a large amount, not a small amount, and the voice of impeachment disappears all at once. Do you know how much tax the Sanshui County pays in a year? A 150,000 yuan discount, do you know what this means?"

The old man seemed to know a lot and said to the young master.

"Fifty thousand jin? One county? If this is a poorer state, the rent and tax of a county can be offset by two or three states. It is impossible, absolutely impossible. If this is the case, countless people will break their heads and become county magistrates."

This young man seems to be a child of an official family. He immediately knows what this money represents. If you can pay so much rent and tax, how much money does local merchants and people have? Just get a little of them and you can easily get the tens of thousands of yuan.

Thinking of this, the young master said, "Fifty thousand guan, it means that your people and businesses are richer. Rent and tax are just part of the money. If you come to a county magistrate, search some of the people and make up for some of the fifty thousand guan, that will be more than before, and it is impossible for no one to come."

"You think that 150,000 guan is like this every year? If you change to an official whom the Zhang family disagrees with, let alone 150,000 guan, 150,000 guan is much less. If you can't take it, you can't take it. It's easy to break your head, but it's difficult to keep your head when you leave.

I think it’s okay to be an official, so I will get a free position first. Then I will follow my work slowly and get the recognition of the people of Sanshui County. I will naturally be promoted. I must have the ability and cannot accept bribes, and I will not be greedy. If I do my job well, I will get both official and wealth when I leave the office, otherwise I will be careful of my life."

The old man guarding the pavilion snorted coldly, and after saying this, he continued: "Those impeachers were jealous, but they were not sure that they could find such people who were willing to do things for the people and had the ability to come to be county magistrates. The court attached great importance to this tax, so there was no voice."

"How do you know so much?" the young man asked in confusion.

"I am Zhao Xiang and Zhao Jifang's Lord Taishan. Jifang is not bad, he is filial and can do practical things for the people." The old man scared Song Jinggong with his words. Didn't he say that Zhao County Magistrate Zhao's father-in-law was somewhere else? Why did he come here to see the pavilion?

The young master also thought so, "You have a county magistrate's son-in-law who ran here to see the pavilion? Who... believes it?"

"So what about the son-in-law? You can't arrange for me something that only pays money and doesn't work, right? I'm not old enough to move. If I can do something, I can do something. I can't guard the pavilion. Not only can I make it convenient for those who come and go, but I can also buy some snacks for my grandson. When it comes to rain and snow, I will use the pile of sand and stone mats here to watch the people who come and go over and feel at ease. Why not do it?"

The old man smiled and clenched his hand covered with blue veins, looking very proud.

At this moment, many tourists who were not clear about the matter had a special feeling about this place. This place does not allow people to starve or freeze to death. The rent and taxes of this place can be compared with other state prefectures. The officials in this place must be recognized by the people. The father-in-law of the county magistrate guards the pavilion to repair bridges and roads.

There may be only one such place in the Tang Dynasty. It’s so magical. Could Sanshui County be a paradise?

Someone thought about it and asked this question. Song Jinggong said at this time: "Heaven is here, hell is here. As for what it is, it's all in one thought. Let's eat it. Who has put the vermicelli? It's almost gone."

Everyone then remembered that before they finished their meal, the meat they had just dropped in was boiled and they quickly dispersed and ran back to their respective places to eat, but their mentality was different. At this time, eating this hot pot seemed to taste better, and the cold winter nights also made people feel so warm.

"You two have some more? It's okay to drink some soup. Who brought the fermented bean curd from the soup of sauerkraut hotpot? I don't eat it. Eating sauerkraut and fermented bean curd is more fishy than eating raw sea fish."

Seeing that everyone was going back to eat, Song Jinggong sat down to fill his stomach. He was still hungry, so he looked at the two brothers opposite and persuaded him again.

"It's okay to drink some, this noble man, why didn't you say that eating this fermented bean curd and sauerkraut would be so fishy? I thought the hot pot tasted this way." When the brother said with a depressed look, his younger brother nodded suddenly.

The old man who saw the pavilion laughed. He usually ate hot pot at home, and most people can't bear the fishy smell, but his grandson likes it very much. He gave some soup to the two young men. The old man said to Song Jinggong again: "Young Master Song, what happened just now..."

"Don't worry, sir, I won't care about this matter. If you are willing to guard the pavilion, then guard it. The old master of the master often repairs bridges and roads with his in-laws. The young master and the young lady did not stop him, so I will not stop you either." Song Jinggong hurriedly promised.

"It's not about this matter, it's what you said first. You need to add more quilts and build a small wooden house. It's too cold outside. It would be even better if you could get some medicine to keep the cold."

What the old man said was not the same as what Song Jinggong thought.

Song Jinggong then remembered that there was something important, and immediately nodded and agreed, "Don't worry, I will start doing this tomorrow. There are medicines, waiting for too many dogs to keep, and a pavilion and a dog can relieve boredom in normal times. I didn't think enough about it. I was negligent in my care. I had to write a letter of apologizing to Luzhou."

"Negotiable, you have done a good job, why are you still guilty? This is a merit." The brother became even more curious. This person should be in charge of the business of the two counties. If he can manage the local area like this, is there still guilty if he fails to make a merit?

Song Jinggong didn't say anything. He regretted not thinking carefully enough, so he drank some soup and sighed.

The old man explained to the two brothers, "My merit is merit, and fault is merit. Young Master Song has made a lot of contributions, but if someone freezes to death because of his negligence, the crime will be great. Fortunately, there is a fire, and no such thing has happened so far. It is not too late to repair the sheep.

You don’t understand the Zhang family here. If you can do things in the Zhang and Wang families, it is a blessing that you have cultivated in eight lifetimes. Do it well, but remember, don’t rely on the name of the Zhang family to do bad things. The paradise and hell of Sanshui County are only between the front lines. Those who do good are smooth roads, and those who do evil are full of thorns. There are many evil people who lose their fortunes because they are greedy for the benefits of Sanshui County, and no one has ever succeeded.

If you want to get benefits in Sanshui County, you have to deal with the Zhang family first. If you want to deal with the Zhang family, you have to face the anger of the people of Yaozhou and Sanshui County. Behind the Zhang family is not just a prince standing up. Only when you reach out, you will know how many people you have to face."

"What if the emperor takes action? The county magistrate's candidate actually wants to pass the Zhang family. Would the emperor be willing?" The brother really thought of a lot of things and grasped the key points.

"You don't know how much benefit the Zhang family has brought to the emperor. The emperor can't protect him, so how could he attack the Zhang family? The master of the Zhang family has a village here, so the emperor will be relieved of Sanshui County and receive so much rent and tax every year.

The Zhang family's master arrived in Huayuan County and later became a state. The emperor had no worries about Yaozhou. This year, Yaozhou gave a lot of rent and taxes. The most important thing is that the people in these two places had a better life and no one violated the law. Yaozhou also gave the emperor a letter of the people, saying that the emperor had arranged good officials for them.

At this time, the Zhang family's master was the governor of Luzhou, and the disaster was caused. The Zhang family's master used his family's strength to support the stability of the states around Luzhou. The tax on Luzhou next year will also make the emperor happy. Do you think such a person will take action?"

Song Jinggong couldn't say anything. After all, he was from the Zhang family, but the old man didn't have so many concerns and said to the two brothers.
