God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 868 Idiot County Magistrate
Even Wei Zheng was surprised that Wei Shuyu was appointed magistrate of Hu County.

The ministers naturally expressed their opposition.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Let Wei Shuyu be the county magistrate of Hu County, I'm afraid it will make people laugh at me!"

"Could it be that there are no talents in my Tang Dynasty? Why did Wei Shuyu become the county magistrate!"

"Your Majesty, if Hu County continues as it is, I'm afraid it will become a high-ranking county next year. I think it's more appropriate to send a steady and experienced official to serve as the county magistrate. I would like to recommend myself."

Everyone said.

Wei Zheng, who had been silent all this time, was not happy now.

These guys are saying that their son is a fool, openly and secretly, can this be tolerated?

So, he stood up alone, used his three-inch tongue, and directly scolded these people back.

If you want to talk about talking, Wei Zheng has never been afraid of anyone.

Li Er couldn't stand it, and said: "Okay, dear friends, I have made up my mind, and I will give Wei Shuyu three months. If within three months, there is really chaos in Huxian County, or he is not suitable for the post of Huxian County. Order, I will take back my order and retreat from the court!"

In fact, Li Er was also doubting whether Wei Shuyu could take on this important task, but Du He's words lingered in his ears.

In the end, he decided to trust Du Ho for once.

Everyone wanted to say something, but Li Er turned around and left.

Chen Shuda said: "Hey, what's the use of everyone fighting over and over again, in the end, that fool Wei Shuyu took advantage of it... I thought that Du He was stripped of his title of duke of the state of Hu and could no longer be an official in the court. , who would have thought that His Majesty would listen to the candidates for this small county, which is really unexpected!"

After all, he just turned to leave, but Wei Zheng grabbed his sleeve.

Wei Zheng cursed: "Old Dog Chen, who are you calling a fool? Your son is the fool, and your whole family are fools. Stop, I will talk to you properly!"

As he spoke, he dragged Chen Shuda into the dark alley next to him.

……

In any case, Wei Shuyu's appointment as the magistrate of Huxian County is already a certainty.

Because Wei Shuyu has the title of county son, Li Er personally issued an imperial edict to announce it to the world.

Chang'an City was in an uproar.

In the streets and alleys, in the workshops, there are many discussions.

Can a fool be the magistrate of Hu County?

Everyone was suspicious.

"Can I really be the county magistrate of Hu County?"

Even Wei Shuyu himself has been thinking about this issue.

This is his third day in office.

Everything is in order.

The various departments of the county government in Huxian County perform their duties and operate in an orderly manner. In fact, there is no need for him to do anything.

When Du He designed this system, there was only one principle, that is, each department operates on its own, and the county magistrate does not need to do it himself. Therefore, it is easy for him to be the county magistrate. There are a lot of talents, each of whom can be alone, so there is no need to worry about it.

But Wei Shuyu was still a little worried.

After tossing and turning for several days and nights, he finally arrived in Chang'an this morning and met Du He.

Seeing Du He, Wei Shuyu seemed to have the backbone in an instant, and said excitedly: "Brother Du, there is not a day that I do not miss you."

"Oh, brother Wei, rare customers, rare customers... You came to eat beef stew with potatoes? Unfortunately, there has been a lot of noise in Chang'an City recently, and the cows are not committing suicide!" Du He said regretfully.

Wei Shuyu said a little speechlessly: "Brother Du, don't be joking. I am here to ask for advice. To be honest, I am very stupid. I know that I can't be the magistrate of Huxian County at all, and this is all you have to ask Your Majesty." The person who recommended me, therefore, came here today to ask, what should I do to become a good county magistrate?"

Asking advice, this is the purpose of Wei Shuyu's visit here.

Hu County is completely different from any other county in the world.

Although Wei Shuyu is stupid, he also knows that what Hu County is today was created by Du He alone. No one has more authority than Du He to answer how to make a good magistrate of Hu County.

Seeing Wei Shuyu's serious face, Du He also said seriously: "It's not difficult to be a county magistrate, but it's very difficult to be a good county magistrate! It's actually quite remarkable that Brother Wei has such an idea. Since you want to ask me for advice, I don't think so." I have a little proposal for you."

"Brother Du please enlighten me!"

"It's easy to do a good job as the county magistrate of Hu County, that is to govern by doing nothing. Everything in Hu County is brand new, and even many things are still in its infancy. As a county magistrate, what you have to do is to It is to meet their needs, not to control them, in a word: if you control them, you will die, if you let them go, you will live."

What Duhe said is very simple.

The way of governing is in Xinmin, in reaching perfection, in enlightening, in persuading farmers... There are countless words of saints, and they all make sense at first glance.

Unfortunately, any principles that have been handed down since ancient times do not apply to Hu County.

Hu County is brand new!

Du He is a very lazy person, so when he was the magistrate of Hu County, he established various departments of the county government to keep the county government running normally. At the same time, he preferred to be a guide rather than a manager. For example, when he mobilized the people to raise pigs, he did not force the people to raise pigs, but used the influence of the gentry to let the people raise pigs and buy pig feed spontaneously...

Therefore, he only had one sentence for Wei Shuyu.

Wei Shuyu savored this sentence carefully, and after a long while, he raised his head and bowed deeply to Du He: "Brother Du, you've been taught!"

……

Wei Shuyu returned to Hu County.

In order to show that he obeyed Du He's teachings and really followed suit, he put up notices of Du He's words everywhere, and for a while, they could be seen everywhere: if you control it, you will die, if you let it go, you will live.

When the people in Hu County saw this sentence, they all knew that Wei Shuyu really wanted to follow Du He's ideas, and everyone applauded. The gentry came to the county government to congratulate one after another, bringing generous gifts, but Wei Shuyu dismissed them all. Even when these guys left, they got some souvenirs from Wei Shuyu. Everyone was so moved that they burst into tears and praised Wei Shuyu as a good official. The common people were even more joyful after hearing this.

As expected, Wei Shuyu followed the rules of Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, everything was carried out according to the rules established by Du He before, and he never issued any new orders. Shadow, what he has to do is also simple, that is to record what he has seen and heard, especially thinking about the solutions to many difficult problems. He will send people to Chang'an for each method, and ask Du He for help before implementing it. .

Since then, the people have all praised Wei Shuwan.

On the contrary, in Chang'an and other places, people know about this and regard it as a joke.

Everyone said that Wei Shuyu was just a follower of Du He, and it was impossible for him to succeed. Such a person would not be able to be the magistrate of Hu County, and he might not be able to survive three months.

Some people are watching the excitement, some people are watching the jokes.
