Chinese dining table

Chapter 633
Without all kinds of subsidies, Liu Hucao received his own two-year salary, which is the total amount after conversion. He is very satisfied with this figure.

After Xie Rong came to the Wannian County Yamen in the morning, he found that the atmosphere was not right. The officials who treated him respectfully in the past, but now the handymen looked at him with a hint of resentment in their eyes.

Xie Rong still knew the source of this anger. After all, he recovered the so-called year-end bonus given to these people at the end of last year.

Regarding this matter, Xie Rong thought that Yunchu, the county magistrate of Wannian County, was acting recklessly. Such a large-scale embezzlement of state funds was intolerable in his opinion.

In the past, Yunchu relied on his military achievements in Liaodong, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and His Majesty would tolerate his misconduct. Now it is different, the court has begun to move the capital to Luoyang, and money is needed everywhere. At this time, the money that Yunchu sent before Getting the money back was a kind of remedy. Even if Yunchu came back, he could only be grateful to himself.

Such an approach can be regarded as helping Yunchu make up for the loopholes, just like the successor official is helping the predecessor to make up for the shortfall.

And these idiots in the Wannian County Yamen, who have been devouring Wannian County's wealth for so many years, have become more justified.

When Xie Rong walked into the official residence, he found that the room was very cold. He took a look at the stove installed in the official residence, wiped it, and it was cold.

There was no hot water in the teapot, and there was still leftover tea on the table that I drank yesterday, and I didn't clean it up.

"Come on!"

Xie Rong suppressed his anger and let out a loud cry.

As a result, no one answered.

He opened the window angrily, and found that five or six handymen were carrying steaming wooden buckets, and were busy delivering hot water everywhere.

He grabbed a passing handyman and said, "Where's the hot water in my house?"

The handyman bowed and said, "There is no county magistrate's name on the water and fire sign."

Xie Rong frowned and said, "What brand of water and fire?"

The handyman hurriedly said: "It's a sign for supplying hot water and charcoal. Whoever's name is on it will be sent to the official office."

"Why is there no official name?"

The handyman said: "I'm afraid it's because the county magistrate didn't pay the money for water and fire."

Xie Rong said angrily: "Isn't this something that should have been there? Why is there such a thing as paying money?
When did it start? "

The handyman really wanted to break free from Xie Rong's hand, fearing that he was a sixth-rank official, so he forced a smile and said: "The notice was posted last night, and the implementation began this morning."

"Where is the notice?"

"Just at the gate of the yamen, there is a very strange name called the Charter of Integrity."

Xie Rong let go of the handyman, and left the office in two or three steps, and arrived at the gate of the county government office. Sure enough, there was a notice posted on the horoscope wall at the gate of the county government office.

After reading the notice, Xie Rong only felt his eyes go dark. The Wannian County Government cancels all preferential treatment, which is nothing to him, as long as it is simple to eat and use.

As for being hated by the subordinate officials of Wannian County, it is not a big deal. The subordinate officials themselves hate the chief official, which is common sense.

What made him angry was that this notice had been posted all night, but no one had informed him, or even asked him, the county magistrate, for his opinion.

Xie Rong tore up the notice, and went straight to Liu Hucao's official residence angrily.

At this time, Liu Hucao had already gone to work, the fire in the room was very strong, and the autumn cold was well resisted, the teapot on the table was steaming lightly, and a pot of good tea had been brewed, waiting for Liu Hu After Cao washed his hands, he enjoyed it.

Xie Rong opened the door, walked into the room with a gust of cold wind, slammed the torn document on the table and shouted angrily: "Give me an explanation!"

Liu Hucao was calm in the face of Xie Rong's anger. After wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he picked up the teapot and said calmly: "This is the meaning of the county lord."

Xie Rong's face was flushed red, and he suppressed his anger and said, "County Yun is still in the Western Regions at this time, how could he issue such a government order?"

Liu Hucao put down the teapot, carefully smoothed out the notice that Xie Rong brought, pointed to the county magistrate's seal at the bottom and said, "Didn't the county magistrate read the seal?"

Xie Rong pointed at Liu Hucao's nose and said, "Presumptuous!"

Liu Hucao let out a chuckle, pointed his fingers and said: "Your official knows that the county magistrate is not happy, but this is the county magistrate's letter, no matter how unhappy you are, you can only bear it at this moment and wait for the county magistrate to wait." After Cheng becomes the county magistrate of Wannian County, it will not be too late to issue orders to the lower officials."

Xie Rongchang took a deep breath and said, "You guys are corrupt and break the law, divide the country's money privately, and are suspected of selling officials and nobles. I also heard that you treat Wannian County as your own land, and secretly grant and accept each other. I really thought that Yunchu could be in Wannian County. Does Nian County cover the sky with one hand?"

Liu Hucao looked at the angry Xie Rong and said with a smile: "People from Dali Temple have come three times, arrested six people and sent them to the big prison, and entered Dali Temple well. Flesh torn.

The censors also issued seventeen impeachment documents, and they were generous and loyal when they were read in the court, as if my Wannian county government was already a nest of snakes and rats.

It's a pity that after the bullet went to the two pavilions, there was no news of it. The prime ministers in the court didn't care about it, and there was no movement from His Majesty.

Since the county magistrate thinks we are guilty, we might as well submit the memorial—oh, the county magistrate is like eating vegetables, and the county magistrate is not qualified to submit the memorial yet.

The lower official suggested that the county magistrate could go to Dali Temple to report again, and he could also go to the official office to report.

If the county magistrate doesn't want to choose either, then shut up and wait quietly for the magistrate to come back and see how the magistrate will deal with it. "

"You have no respect for your eyes, and you want to empty this official?"

Liu Hucao laughed and said, "It's all the meaning of the county magistrate. The county magistrate should not frighten the officials. Wait a little longer. The magistrate will come back when spring begins. The magistrate will definitely give the magistrate an explanation."

Xie Rong gave Liu Hucao a bitter look and said: "A certain family doesn't believe it, this Chang'an City is a place where you and other rats run rampant."

With a proud smile on Liu Hucao's face, he once again took out the profit and loss statement discarded by Zhang Hua and slapped it in front of Xie Rong: "Don't you understand? Do you want to explain it to the county magistrate?
In the fourth year of Xianqing, 11 miles of canals were opened in Wannian County, 160 mu of dry fields were transformed into paddy fields, 130 mu of wasteland hills were reclaimed, [-] mu of new fruit forests were obtained, and [-] mu of new bamboo fields were planted for papermaking. There are [-] workshops, and [-] commercial taxes are collected, all of which have been collected at the beginning of the year.

Opened 27 new Meng schools, expanded 360 orphanage houses, cooperated with the Ministry of Water to repair 210 miles of canals, and cooperated with the Ministry of Industry to repair [-] miles of roads.

The villain, Wuhoupu, was responsible for the security of Wannian County. In the fourth year of Xianqing, there were only 87 cases of illegal activities in Wannian County, and [-] cases were dealt with, and the rest were self-consistent.

Wuhoupu waited and patrolled day and night, and was very dedicated. In the fourth year of Xianqing, there were six fires, one of which was arson, and the other five were accidents. None of the six fires caused a major disaster.

The county magistrate was also a county magistrate. With such achievements, even if our county magistrate is a bit domineering, His Majesty will tolerate it, right?
Not to mention that in order to broaden the commercial roads in Chang'an, the county lord went to the Western Regions, Persia, and Dashi to attract business. It is said that the caravan attracted more than 2 people.

This will be a new challenge for Chang'an. As long as we arrange this chamber of commerce, it will definitely bring more lucrative business taxes to Chang'an City.

If the county magistrate is here to do things in Wannian County, you might as well get involved. Within two years, the county magistrate will definitely be promoted. as nothing. "

When Xie Rong came out of Liu Hu Cao's house, his complexion was extremely pale.

He knows that a local official's real confidence comes from his political achievements. Although this is obvious and cannot be done accurately, once the political achievements are so brilliant that no one can cover them up, such a good thing will surely reach the sky.

Even if the prime ministers in the court are dissatisfied with this local official, they will tolerate him three points because of his extraordinary political achievements.

What's more, a person like Yunchu has all eyes and hands, as long as it is his credit, no one can cover it up.

The main purpose of appointing officials by the imperial court is to gather wealth for the imperial court, and then to stabilize the world. Now, Wannian County has done an excellent job in these two aspects.

It was also the first time that Xie Rong discovered that he really underestimated Wannian County, Yunchu, and the subordinate officials here.

Xie Rong returned to the cold official house and sat there for a long time. When Zhang Hua and Qu You came to discuss countermeasures, they didn't have a good way to deal with it.

The county magistrate of Wannian County was Yunchu, and if he wanted to face his subordinates in office, he still needed Yunchu to speak, and the three of them did not have this right.

Only the three of them were cold in the entire county office. They sat withered until noon and were hungry, only to realize that the official office had stopped eating, but the smell of food outside the window was lingering. The gourmet food that Qian dispatched the handyman bought from the canteen of Jinchangfang.

Among the three, Qu You was the least courageous. He had also heard some legends about Yunchu these days, and when the three of them really couldn't think of a good solution, he whispered, "Why don't you forget it?"

Xie Rong and Zhang Hua were silent.

Both of them understood that if there was nothing they could do to the Wannian county magistrate through normal means, they could only use some means.

After all, they are officials of Wannian County, if they want to do something, they can still do it.

Once shady means are used, they must be prepared to be used against them by shady means.

A contest in the officialdom is no different from a war between the two armies. There is no reason why you are only allowed to harm others and they are not allowed to fight back.

And once the contest reaches this level, it will be an endless battle to the death.

Whether to cross the boundary, whether to forge a death feud, both Xie Rong and Zhang Hua need to think carefully.

After returning home full of anger, Xie Rong found that his family was standing by the side of the street waiting for him to come back, and some of the furniture he brought to Chang'an for home use were all piled up on the road.

Before Xie Rong could ask a question, his wife came up to him and said, "The landlord kicked us out, saying that he wanted to raise the rent, and I don't even want to make up for him."

Xie Rong's eyes were about to burst, and he roared angrily, "I'm not a son of man, where is this bastard landlord?"

Madam hurriedly pulled Xie Rong back and said, "My lord, don't get angry, the owner of the house is the Duke of Yanmen..."
