Chapter 1984: Things About Leaving Office

The people in Suzhou were so reluctant to part with Zhu Pingan that Zhu Pingan's throat was almost filled with smoke, but he still failed to persuade the people blocking the road.

In the end, a passerby called out to Zhu Ping'an, "Don't stop me, please hurry up and let Mr. Zhu take office. With Mr. Zhu's ability, isn't it as simple as eating and drinking to make meritorious service after taking office? Mr. Zhu is already If you become the governor of Zhejiang, if you make some merits after taking office, won't you be promoted to the governor of Jiangnan? By then, won't Master Zhu be our parent again?"

This sentence suddenly moved the people who were blocking the road.

"Yes, with Mr. Zhu's ability and ability, you can easily catch him if you perform meritorious service. If you get promoted, you can become the governor of Jiangnan."

"Everyone, please give way. Don't delay Sir Zhu from doing meritorious service. There are so many Japanese pirates in Zhejiang. Why worry about Sir Zhu not doing meritorious service. If you delay Sir Zhu for another quarter of an hour, it will be a quarter of an hour later for Sir Zhu to achieve meritorious service, and he will be a quarter of an hour later from becoming the governor of Jiangnan."

"Everyone, please give way. Don't make it difficult for Mr. Zhu. This is the emperor's order. If you block the way again, Mr. Zhu will disobey the imperial edict. If the blame comes from above, isn't it our great benefactor Mr. Zhu who is unlucky?!"

"Everyone, please give way."

Many people spoke up, and slowly the crowded crowd opened up a road just big enough for carriages to pass.

"My lord, you can take office. Let's eat these food on the way."

"This is an old hen we raise at home. The stew is the most fragrant. Adults, please take it home and make the stew and drink it."

"Sir, if you don't take it, do you dislike us?!"

Although they gave way, the enthusiastic people pushed the things in their hands towards Zhu Pingan.

So enthusiastic.

Everyone wants to stuff their things into Zhu Pingan's arms, and everyone has enthusiasm and reasons that cannot be refused.

Zhu Ping'an walked towards a white-haired old woman and took the cracked ceramic bowl in her hand.

Then, he received a piece of cooking cake from an old man, took a bite of the cooking cake and drank a sip of water.

Soon, a cooking cake and a bowl of water were drained.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, you are the parents of a certain family. After eating this cake and drinking this bowl of water, I have swallowed all your thoughts in my stomach. It is enough. I will definitely not lose the face of you Suzhou elders when I go to Zhejiang. ”

Zhu Pingan wiped his mouth, returned the bowl to the old lady, and said loudly to the common people.

Zhu Ping'an took the initiative to drink a bowl of water and eat a piece of cake, which coincided with his calling the people the parents of food and clothing.

In this way, it will be easier for the people to accept the specialties that they are enthusiastic about.

"You don't need anything, but this Ten Thousand People Umbrella is our heartfelt wish. Master Zhu, you must accept it."

"And ours."

"our"

When Zhu Ping'an finally set off again, several carriages contained nearly a hundred umbrellas tied with strips of people's names.

"Keke, Brother Zhu, you can make a fortune by selling umbrellas." In the carriage, Li Shu couldn't help but chuckle.

"It's really hard to refuse such kindness. What should we do with so many umbrellas?" Zhu Pingan put his hand on his forehead, his head getting bigger.

"Gee, when someone leaves office, he is afraid that he will not be able to get the Wanmin Umbrella. He will refuse to leave without even receiving the Wanmin Umbrella. He will not give up until he receives the Wanmin Umbrella. Or he may even hire someone to get a few Wanmin Umbrellas. Ren, it’s better for you. There are so many people’s umbrellas that I have to worry about how to deal with them. It’s true that a full man doesn’t know what a hungry man is hungry for.”

Li Shujiao smiled and joked.

"Just go to Shaoxing, take off the cloth and give it to the people anonymously. It will be effective."

Zhu Pingan smiled bitterly.

"Miss, is there really someone who can't even receive a Wanmin Umbrella? Then they haven't done a single good thing."

Hua'er asked curiously.

Seeing that Zhu Ping'an had collected so many Wanmin Umbrellas, he thought that Wanmin Umbrellas were easy to obtain. Unexpectedly, there were officials who couldn't even receive a Wanmin Umbrella. He couldn't help being surprised and asked curiously.

"Do you think the Umbrella of All People is so good?! Of course there are people who cannot receive the Umbrella of All People. Most of them are corrupt officials who cannot receive even one, and even stupid and mediocre officials cannot receive one of the Umbrellas of All People. The common people have a feeling in their hearts. Zhang said that only a good official who benefits a country during his term of office can receive the Wanmin Umbrella from the common people. "

Li Shu looked through the gap in the car window at the reluctant people outside chasing the carriage to see him off, and said slowly.

"If it were me, I wouldn't give them the Wanmin Umbrella. If they don't do good things, I wouldn't throw them rotten eggs."

Hua'er is quite empathetic.

"The common people dare not throw rotten eggs at them in front of them, but when they leave, they often beat gongs, drums and set off firecrackers to celebrate. In ancient times, a corrupt magistrate who did all the good and bad deeds left office, and the common people couldn't bear it, so they I gave him a plaque with the words 'The sky is three feet high' and gave it to the corrupt magistrate."

Li Shu told Hua'er a story about a corrupt official who left office in ancient times.

"Ah? He has done all the good things and done all the bad things. Why do you still give him a favor? The sky is three feet high, and you praise him as being taller than the sky. It's really easy for him."

After Hua'er heard this, he couldn't help but angrily said that he thought it was too cheap for corrupt officials to give them a favor.

"Haha, the corrupt county magistrate received the plaque and was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. He also felt that this was the people's praise for him, saying that during his term of office, the sky was three feet higher. Isn't this praising his good governance? Therefore, on his way out of office, he showed off the plaque to everyone he met. After taking office, he hung the plaque outside the new government office and covered it with red silk. What surprised him was that many people covered their mouths and laughed when they saw his plaque. When they met those people who didn't laugh, they whispered to each other, and then those people who didn't laugh at first followed suit and covered their mouths and laughed." Li Shu looked at Hua'er who looked confused, covered her mouth and laughed as she continued.

"Ah? Yes, why do people laugh when they see his plaque?" Hua'er scratched her head in confusion.

"Haha, the corrupt county magistrate is the same as you, he also scratched his head." Li Shu chuckled non-stop.

"Miss, tell me quickly, is there any saying about that plaque." Hua'er was curious like a cat scratching its heart.

"Miss, I can't think of any deep meaning of that plaque." Qin'er was also puzzled.

"Stupid, the sky is three feet high, why is it three feet high? It's because the local land was scraped away by the corrupt official, the county magistrate. Isn't this equivalent to the sky being three feet high? The local people are mocking him." Li Shu explained.

"Oh, so that's the case, ha ha ha, the corrupt official doesn't know he's being mocked, and he shows off his flatness to everyone he meets. It's really embarrassing. And, miss, did he find out in the end?"

After hearing the explanation, Hua'er couldn't help but giggle, and finally asked the corrupt official with concern whether he knew.

"He knew, but it was his newly recruited master who told him half a month later, so he smashed the plaque and burned the fire, but it was too late, the people of the whole city knew that he was a corrupt official who was greedy and stupid."

Li Shu said with a smile.

"It's what you deserve, ha ha ha" There was joy in the carriage.
