Chapter 41
The chieftain of the Tashi and the Hongdong County Magistrate of the Dawanshan Division stood up one after another and bowed to the people: "Dai Tongzhi, long time no see!"
Tongzhi? That is the assistant to the prefect. He is in charge of grain, robbery, coastal defense, river defense, water conservancy, etc. He is the sixth rank official. He is the direction Ye Xiaotian has always been striving for! Ye Xiaotian looked at the "Ximen Grand Official" from the sixth rank, and immediately became enthusiastic.
His enthusiasm was not to imitate Dai Tongzhi's brilliant achievements in pursuing the young woman's glorious achievements, but to the fact that Dai Tong's sixth-rank official position aroused Ye Xiaotian's infinite imagination.
In addition, Tongzhi is also called Zhoutong, and he is the right-hand man of the prefect, and his identity is one step closer than his experience. It seems that the relief money from his family will fall on Daizhoutong. For a moment, Ye Xiaotian looked at Daizhoutong and seemed to see a pile of white silver.
Among these strange-shaped officials, Ye Xiaotian, who is tall and handsome, has become an alien, as eye-catching as a crane, and is as eye-catching as a flock of chickens. Daizhoutong noticed him at once and looked over with a smile, but saw Ye Xiaotian staring at him, his eyes flashing with a greedy light.
Daizhou Tong immediately tightened his chrysanthemum, subconsciously took a step back, thinking to himself: Who is this, why... Why are you looking at me like this? Daizhou Tong cleared his throat and bowed to everyone, "I'm sorry, you guys have been waiting for a long time, the magistrate has woken up, please follow me."
"Only the magistrate woke up?" Ye Xiaotian looked at the bright sunshine outside the hall and was speechless.
The officials rushed out of the hall with Daizhou. Daizhou suddenly found Ye Xiaotian still quietly looking at him, his expression was very strange, and he couldn't help but turn to Ye Xiaotian and asked, "This adult is very handsome, but he is not satisfied with his honorary name?"
Ye Xiaotian came to the prefect's office twice, but every time he met the prefect Zhang privately. He never met the official in the office, so he didn't know this Lord Dai. Now, when he heard him take the initiative to chat with him, he immediately came forward and laughed before he could say anything: "Ye Xiaotian, the county magistrate of Huxian, is in the same place as Daizhou, and has long admired him for a long time!"
Daizhoutong quietly set a safe distance from him, thinking to himself: "Dai has never known you, why are you so enthusiastic?" But he said perfunctorily: "Ah, it turns out that he is County Magistrate Ye, I am indifferent. I am indifferent."
Zhang Dafaizi was piled up in a chair like a big master, wearing a plum-red magpies climbing the branch and swallows. The magpies were bulging with the fat flesh on his belly. He should have gone to the front hall to listen to the officials to discuss matters, but he was obsessed with body and too lazy to walk around, so he called them to the back house.
"Sit, sit all."
Fatty Zhang was full of energy and his abdomen was as moving as he spoke. Everyone greeted Master Zhang and then sat down on the seats on both sides. Because they were dressed in a mess, they could not tell who was of high quality, so they could not arrange seats according to their status, so they could only find seats nearby.
Ye Xiaotian didn't understand this habit. He was just a little stunned. The first row of seats on the left and right were occupied first. Ye Xiaotian suddenly realized and rushed to the second row. When he rushed over, the second row of seats were also filled with people. Ye Xiaotian had to rush to the third row again. After all, he grabbed a seat next to the pillar, but it was the one that was closest to the entrance of the hall.
Ye Xiaotian sat down, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the other side of the pillar, wanting to see who was as unlucky as him. As soon as he looked, he saw the Tu Magistrate of Dawanshansi who was unknown surnamed Hongdong, with a long face, which looked as ugly as a shoehorn. Ye Xiaotian quickly retracted his head.
The prefect Zhang coughed twice and said, "The land in Guizhou is poor, and the taxes of a province are not as good as those of a county in Jiangnan. The court has the will of benevolence and people. The emperor has a compassionate heart and allocates funds and relief every year. This year is no exception. Kough! This money has arrived. Let's discuss how to distribute it."
As soon as the prefect Zhang finished speaking, an old man wearing a Confucian shirt, wearing a square scarf and three long beards under his jaw stood up and bowed, "Prince, our school academy is an official school and has always relied on the government to allocate funds. According to the old rules, there should be a sum of relief funds for the court every three years. The following officials urged the prefect to follow the old rules and allocate the full amount of funds for our school."
Ye Xiaotian saw that this person was Teacher Li. He didn't seem to see him when he was waiting in the hall. He didn't know when he came out, but he actually grabbed a seat next to the prefect Zhang. The "prefect" mentioned by Teacher Li refers to the prefect Zhang. The scholars are fond of ancient times, so they are elegantly called the prefect.
Before the prefect Zhang could speak, the chieftain of the Tsashi stood up and said sternly: "What's the point of building a government school or not? Smoking the people is the first priority. Lord, I have a flat head surrounded by mountains, the terrain is blocked, and the economy is difficult! Even my chieftain can only eat a meal of fragrant pork for two days now. It can be seen that the people are suffering. No matter how much the lord discusses, he should not allocate funds to the prefecture. Please pity the people with my flat head..."
Teacher Li looked at the chieftain of Tsashi and said disdainfully: "The government schools are set up by the court, gathering disciples to teach, studying knowledge, preaching scriptures and teachings, spreading education, carrying literary movements, selecting talents and abilities are the most important tasks in the world. Why does it become worth mentioning when you say something? "
The chieftain of Tsashi said: "The sage said: Only when the granaries are sufficient can you know etiquette. Now the people cannot even fill their stomachs. What kind of etiquette education should they talk about?"
Teaching Zhizhi Li said: "Where prosperity is the first place, education is the first. If education is not promoted, the poor will only become poorer. The people are ignorant, so what can we do?"
Immediately another man in an official robe jumped up and said, "Teacher Li said it well, but your school is only known as building a school, but not the reality of promoting the Tao. A scholar was released in five years. Where did he spend a lot of money?"
Teacher Li blushed and argued strongly: "Although a scholar was released in five years of school in our province, he passed the imperial examination and was selected as an official. Now he has outstanding political achievements and has been promoted from Dianshi to county magistrate. Although the number of talents in Tongren Mansion has been limited, the quality is very high. Now, it is precisely because I have too few talented scholars in Tongren Mansion, that is, we should increase our investment."
This is a dispute between the "useless theory of education" and the "universal theory of education". As soon as you see, Ye Xiaotian, as a student of Teacher Li and the biggest beneficiary of Tongren Prefecture Education, would not come forward to support his mentor.
Ye Xiaotian coughed, stood up, and said earnestly: "Sir, no matter how poor you are, you cannot be poor in education, no matter how hard you are, you cannot be hard in students! I think what Teacher Li said makes sense."
Ye Xiaotian said passionately: "As the saying goes, ten years of trees, a hundred years of culture, a country must be strong and a place must be prosperous. Only with a large number of talents can it be possible. Teacher Li is far-sighted and has good intentions. I am really respectable and admired. I agree with Teacher Li's opinion!"
Ye Xiaotian said, thinking to himself that Tongren came here, I wanted to ask Teacher Li to help him. Why did he speak for him? As usual, this school allocated funds every three years, and this year happened to be the turn. I think it would be even more difficult to get more relief funds? I hope Teacher Li will repay you and remember to support me later."
"Bad! It's all fallacies!"
His old enemy, Hong Dong Magistrate of Dawanshansi, stood up and retorted: "What do you rely on for all the chieftains in Guizhou for thousands of years? They are fists, knives, not books. You scholars are useless. Of course, you are so stingy. What are the bullshit knowledge you have! People are not satisfied with their stomachs, and they will rebel. What should I do if there is a mess? Can you bring out your saints and let them go back and go hungry?"
As soon as this statement was made, the officials responded one after another. Some people hurriedly supported him with private goods, and immediately changed their minds and began to complain to the prefect Zhang. They talked a lot about how difficult his rule was.
Prefect Zhang sat there like a Buddha, smiling on his face, not caring at all. Obviously, it was not the first time he had similar experiences, and isn't this a way for him to pinch his subordinates?
Seeing that the officials started to show the poverty competition again, Daizhou said, "My dear masters, your difficulties cannot be all about the court's relief. The court's relief funds are limited, and it is difficult to save the poor. How to divide the rules? We still need to come up with a reasonable charter."
Prefect Zhang stroked his subordinate's jade ring and drooped his eyelids and said, "You are crying in front of our mansion, just thinking about the little money in our mansion. The money is to be distributed to you, but there must be a constitution that all parties can recognize. I think you can't come up with your ideas, so you might as well discuss the arrangements of our mansion, Chonghua, tell them."
Dai Tongzhi said respectfully: "Yes!"
Dai Tongzhi cleared his throat, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and read to everyone that this year the school will allocate funds, and will be allocated according to the old rules three years ago. Dawanshansi was evasive by Laohuguan, and a large amount of tax silver was transferred, and as usual, 10% was added. Yimeidongsi suffered from drought last year, and as usual, 10% was added. Shiyedongsi was a mountain citizen, and he was helpless in food and clothing, and as usual, 10% was added... "
Ye Xiaotian listened with his ears. Huxian not only did not increase, but was 30% lower than the old ones. Ye Xiaotian became anxious when he heard this. He also helped Teacher Li fight for it. It turns out that Master Zhang had already made a decision in his heart. I guess Teacher Li was just like that, and even the officials who jumped out to oppose him were all helping each other to play.
Otherwise, the son-in-law of the Tashi Tzushi had such close contacts with Teacher Li's son-in-law, and there was no reason to be the first to jump out to oppose Teacher Li. Besides, the Tashi Tzushi was a rough man and might not even know his name. If no one taught him to speak in advance, he would not have said such erotic words. Only he was stupid, and he was sold and helped him count the money.
After Ye Xiaotian learned about the position of the prefect Zhang from Teacher Li, he did not enter the prefect Zhang's door in advance. Huxian and other counties under local officials had completely different status in the eyes of the prefect Zhang. Prefect Zhang would never harm his interests for the sake of the incense between them. If he went to see Prefect Zhang in advance, he would probably be persuaded privately by Prefect Zhang. At that time, Prefect Zhang would use the favor of promotion, and he would not be able to refute it.
As soon as Daizhou Tong finished speaking, Ye Xiaotian jumped up and said, "This distribution is not appropriate for the subordinates. Daizhou Tong said just now that the court's relief funds are limited, and it is not a poor person to rescue them! Dear local officials, relatives and friends are officials, and the consumption of these redundant employees alone is endless? The reason is to stop the salary of redundant employees, lose the rewards for not being urgent, stop the nameless levy, save money, and open up the source and expand wealth.
There is no such problem in Huxian. Last year, in order to facilitate household registration management, the court advocated the change of customs, and those who responded were exempted from annual taxes on food and taxes. This time, our Huxian economy was in short supply. It was a time when emergency treatment was needed. Therefore, the subordinates asked the prefect to take care of it, and the allocation of funds will be increased more or less this year!"
The magistrate Hongdong immediately jumped out and said coldly: "Whether it is emergency or sleepy, is it your turn to speak in Huxian? Lord Ye, I can't even see that you have any financial difficulties when you see your feet from the beginning?"
Ye Xiaotian looked at him: "What does it mean? Do you want to compete with me "who dares to be worse than me"? Do you really think I can't be more shameless than you?"
