Corrupt County Magistrate (4)

Mrs. Wei felt that this was a bit unbelievable, but she still stood in front of the two big boxes of Yuanhua pancreas, sniffing the fragrance of Yuanhua pancreas, and in front of her eyes were the fragrant pancreas and flowers that were almost praised to the sky by the capital. .

"How could this Yuan Hua pancake be made by my uncle?" Mrs. Wei had just asked this question when she suddenly came to her senses and asked hurriedly: "Could it be that my uncle used his status as the county magistrate to get involved with this yuan seller?" People who are arrogant..."

This is not possible. Although most Anguo officials have their own shops, they are still their own. It is not that officials have robbed merchants of their business before. Later, the official's family was exiled.

Mother Zhang had been with Mrs. Wei for so long. She frowned and knew what she was thinking. She immediately smiled and dismissed Mrs. Wei's worries: "That's not what Madam thought. The recipe for Yuan Hua Pan is our uncle's." He came up with the idea that he made Yuanhua Pancreas in order to allow the people of Weeping Willow to earn more money. The merchant selling Yuanhua Pancreas was the Zheng family. When my uncle wanted to make Yuanhua Pancreas but had no capital, it was the Zheng family. Seeing that my uncle was worried about the people, he took the initiative to bear the cost of making Yuanhua pancreas."

She saw the expression on Mrs. Wei's face gradually calming down, and continued to comfort her: "Our uncle reciprocated the favor, and that's why he allowed the Zheng family to start the Yuanhua pancreas business. Everyone in Weeping Willow knows about this."

Knowing that her uncle had not done anything like occupying other people's property, Mrs. Wei felt more at ease.

But looking at the two large boxes of Yuanhua pancreas in front of her, she still felt as if she was in a dream.

Many ladies and girls in the capital couldn't buy Yuanhua pancreatic juice for money, but her son-in-law actually sent two large boxes to their family.

"Mother Zhang, come with me to the house and talk to me about what happened after my uncle took office."

This lecture lasted one night.

It started when their uncle held a banquet for merchants shortly after taking office and persuaded them to spend money for road construction.

"When the old slave knew this, he thought wrongly. The girl was also very worried for two days. After that, the merchants rushed to send money to the county government. The girl was so afraid that she couldn't sleep well all night. But my uncle saw it and laughed. Our girl told the truth after talking to her.”

"Weeping Willow is poor. On the one hand, it's because the land is too barren and nothing can grow well. On the other hand, Weeping Willow is remote and few outsiders come here. What kind of tourist city does the master want to build to attract outsiders to come here?" To make Weeping Willow rich, those merchants also wanted to contribute to Weeping Willow, so they rushed to give money. "

It's just that at the time, she didn't understand why when her uncle went out and said he wouldn't charge money, all the merchants had a look of fear on their faces, as if it was something terrible for her uncle not to charge money.

There were even merchants who knelt on the ground and begged their uncle to take the money, shouting that the weeping willow belonged to their family and he wanted to build a home, so he begged his uncle to accept the money.

"At that time, my uncle was helpless and said he would not accept the money. However, those merchants begged and said they wanted to contribute to Weeping Willow. There was no other way, so he had no choice but to accept it. Madam, don't worry, even though our uncle accepted the money, he will be able to do it that day. A monument was erected, and it was clearly engraved on it which family gave how much silver, but I didn't get a penny. "

Mrs. Wei sighed after hearing this.

"Although Weeping Willow is poor, the local wealthy households are kind and righteous. I have never heard of a wealthy household begging for money to go out."

"No, according to the old slave, the wealthy people must have also seen that our uncle is upright and upright, so they trust our uncle. When the old slave left, the road with weeping willows was already under construction. Walking on the street, The people are all boasting about our uncle, saying that he is a truly good official, and the old slave is really happy for his daughter. "

Mrs. Wei nodded: "In this way, if it spreads, it will be regarded as a good story for a generation."

At this point, her eyes suddenly lit up, she sat up straight, and hurriedly got up: "Now that my uncle has given me such a good gift, we can't use it all in our house. Please dress me up quickly. I want to go there myself." Select some of these yuanhua pancakes and give them to people you have good relationships with.”

Her uncle and the local wealthy family, one is upright and devoted to the people, the other insists on providing money for the people.

How could she not tell her uncle about something that made people want to admire it as soon as he heard it?

When the reputation is out and the three-year period is over, the possibility of her uncle returning to the capital will be higher. Even if he doesn't come back, people will know that her uncle is a good person, and he is gentle and considerate to their Jun Can, and he can always fight well. A dozen of those who were gloating about their misfortune felt that her Juncan was the face of someone who had fallen from the clouds.

Over there in Chuiliu County, Ji Changze, who was wondering whether the roads were almost built and the tourist city was mostly built, should be promoted well, didn't know yet. His mother-in-law was already helping him with various tasks without any teacher. Promoted.

"grown ups."

I was just thinking about whether to make a travel brochure when Wu Xian Cheng arrived.

Now that the muddy road with Weeping Willow had been paved with cement, Ji Changze was very familiar with making this thing, and he succeeded after just a few trials.

In addition, the tourism city is being built, and there are small shopping streets and large shopping streets that have been established. Now Weeping Willow has changed its gun. Even if it is only a new one, it is no longer what it was before.

As the county magistrate of Weeping Willow County, Wuxian County Magistrate is naturally different from the poor and poor person he was before.

When Weeping Liu was poor, Wuxian Cheng had no idea of ​​dressing up. As a man, what could he do if he wanted to look so good? Anyway, he was married and had children, so he didn't need to dress as freshly and refreshingly as he did when he was a boy to attract women.

But things are different now.

Chuiliu is now paving the road everywhere, and the road surface is very clean and tidy. There are yamen officers patrolling everywhere, and people are not allowed to relieve themselves, spit, or throw garbage everywhere.

There are designated places for throwing garbage, and there are also places called public toilets by adults for convenience.

This place does not charge money, but the requirement for the people who go to the toilet is that they are not allowed to dirty the inside. There are people specially hired by the court guarding the door.

The men's public toilet is run by an old man, and the women's public toilet is run by an old woman.

Although the work of these two people is quite easy, the monthly salary is as much as one and a half coins, which is almost catching up with the people who work in the pancreas factory. It is precisely because of this that many people want this job, and they are almost fighting for it. Those who get it are naturally conscientious and dare not slack off, for fear that they will lose this good job if they do not do it well.

The public toilet is not a row of pits, but is divided into small compartments. Each small compartment is locked. If someone wants to go in, they have to get the key with the small compartment number plate from the old man and the old woman.

If someone wants to come out, the key must be returned to the uncle and aunt. At this time, the uncle and aunt will go in and check carefully. If they find that someone has made a mess inside, they will directly say that they will take him to the government office unless the other party cleans up the dirty place honestly.

This is not modern times, but ancient times when the people were very afraid of the government. How dare they make a mess? Every time they go to the toilet, flush the water, wash their hands, and dare not miss a step.

Yes, wash your hands. Ji Dazhi County Magistrate specially built a water tower to make the people develop a good habit of washing their hands after going to the toilet.

Under the two mountains of power and free, the people of Chui Liu gradually got used to putting garbage in the trash can when they have it, not throwing garbage on the ground, and going to the nearby public toilets instead of going to the toilet on the spot or in the grass when they want to go to the toilet, and flushing and washing their hands after going to the toilet.

They gradually got used to washing their hands after going to the toilet, and they also felt that this was much cleaner.

Ji Changze sent people to repair the bathhouse, and also let the people wash for free without charging money. Of course, you are not forced to take a bath, but if there are those who want to do business in the small and large commercial streets, there are people guarding the gates of the small and large commercial streets. If they smell the odor on you, you will not be allowed to enter, whether you are selling or buying things, you will not be allowed to enter.

Although it seems that these two places cost money, compared with the money made by Yuanhuapi, it is really a drop in the bucket, and he has stall fees in his hands every day.

The small commercial street mainly sells daily necessities, and the stalls are set up for the government. Only one penny is charged a day. Generally, ordinary people go in. The big commercial street sells more expensive things, such as gold and silver jewelry, jade bracelets, and gorgeous clothes and carriages. The stall fees here are much more expensive.

Anyway, the bathhouse is free, so why bother taking a bath? Not everyone is the kind of person who would kill him if he took a bath. Even if he is, can he delay making money to buy things because he didn’t take a bath?

Whether it was voluntary or because of Ji Changze's order, now when walking on the street, everyone is clean and fresh. Road construction, perfume factories, large and small shopping streets, and tourist cities all need manpower. Ji Changze recruits people according to the appropriate salary he carefully calculated. After this circle, as long as they are willing to work hard, their families will live a similar life.

They are not as short of money as before. It is so awkward to wear those shabby clothes when they are so clean. First, those who have money wear new clothes, and then those who can wear new clothes if they squeeze in. Later, almost everyone in the streets of Chui Liu has a new set of clothes.

Even if they are not new, they are all washed clean and not dirty at all.

After all, in the past, everyone had no money to go to the bathhouse to take a bath, and no money to change new clothes. It was like this. It was okay for them not to take a bath or wear new clothes. But now most people are clean and wear brand new clothes. At this time, those who don't take a bath or wear new clothes are l-ing'l-e:n.

Even if the family situation is special and there is really no money, it is not difficult to take a free bath and wash the clothes.

Everyone is like this, as the county magistrate of Chui Liu, Wu County Magistrate naturally has to wash his old skin, put on the new clothes made by his wife, and come to the county government to work cleanly.

Not to mention, he didn't feel anything when he was dirty before, but now he is refreshed and wearing new clothes. He pays more attention to his cleanliness than before. He is extra careful when going to the toilet, for fear of dirtying his new clothes, and he is more serious when washing his hands than before.

Even when he was left by Lord Ji to work overtime, he was more serious and upright than before.

Wearing new clothes, he felt that he was not working overtime, but doing things for the people.

Ji Changze looked at the cheerful Wu County Magistrate, who looked so energetic and thought about something, and laughed: "Wu County Magistrate has been in good spirits recently."

Wu County Magistrate immediately connected to the "flattering line" and flattered him immediately; "This is all thanks to you, sir. Since you took office, there have been few people who violate the law and taboos in Chui Liu, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and no one picks up things on the road. I am happy for the people, so they are naturally in good spirits."

Ji Changze nodded: "Wu County Magistrate really cares about the people, I was right about you."

Wu County Magistrate wanted to straighten his back to the sky, his eyes full of pride: "Your Excellency is too kind!"

That's right, he is such a person who cares about the people.

Ji Changze picked up another piece of white paper from the desk and pushed it in front of Wu County Magistrate. Under his puzzled gaze, he said solemnly: "Now, you have passed the second round of my test."

Wu County Magistrate: "???"

There is a second round? ? Sir, you didn't tell me about the first round before? !

But think about it, this lord in front of him is a person who intends to wipe out the local rich families as soon as he takes office. Since there is a first round of test, the existence of the second round is naturally reasonable.

He hurriedly held his breath, bent down nervously, and whispered: "Don't worry, sir, I am on your side. If you have any arrangements, just tell me."

Ji Changze pushed the paper in front of him again: "I will write you the general plan of the tourist city later. You should write no less than ten tourist city welcome manuals according to the plan given by this official. You must introduce the cultural features and facilities of our Chui Liu in an all-round way, and implement the plan of launching a tourist city to increase the opportunities for local people to make money."

Wu County Magistrate: "... Ten articles, isn't that a bit too much, sir?"

Ji Changze looked at him with a look of "How can you not bear this little bit of hardship": "I am not asking you to write it yourself. I will set the scope for you. You just need to extend it according to the content given by this official. It's very simple."

Wu County Magistrate: "... ”

Ji Changze reached out his hand and held his hand eagerly, with sincerity in his eyes: "Wu County Magistrate, in our county government, you are the only one who is completely united with me. This major event that can completely change our Chui Liu County, I can only trust you."

Wu County Magistrate felt a heat from the Ren and Du meridians to the top of his head, and he immediately straightened his chest and raised his head and tightened his abdomen; "Yes! Don't worry, sir! I will do my best!"

Seeing that his face was full of "I want to struggle, I want to work hard, I can do it", Ji Changze leaned back on his chair with peace of mind, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Wu County Magistrate is so enthusiastic, I feel much more at ease."

After seeing Wu County Magistrate off, he picked up the cake on the table and took a bite, then drank a sip of tea, put the account book on the table, and finished eating the cake before shouting to the outside: "Call Liang Zhubu over."

Zhubu came soon.

Ji Changze handed him the account book, and under his slightly embarrassed gaze, he held his hand and said earnestly and sincerely: "In our county government, only you and I are completely of the same mind. This box of account books is the foundation of our weeping willow. Apart from you, who else can I trust?"

The chief clerk was surprised and proud. He had always had a low sense of presence in the county government. Since he took office, the magistrate had only taken Wu County Magistrate to play. He did not expect that he was so important in the heart of the county magistrate.

Even if this box of account books could make him dizzy, and it was not his job at all, he did it!

After sending away the chief clerk with a smug look on his face, Ji Changze wrote down the words "increase the salary and bonus for the chief clerk" in his notebook, and sat back leisurely.

After cracking some melon seeds, someone outside reported: "Sir, Captain Wang is here."

Ji Changze immediately picked up a book to cover the melon seed shells, sat firmly, and when he saw Captain Wang coming in, he immediately stood up to greet him and shook his hand enthusiastically:

"Captain Wang, in this county government, only you and I are of the same mind...",,
