Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 623 Shocked
The news that Shen Chenlan raised 17 taels in the name of the government soon spread to the government.

Early this morning, the master waited for a long time in the government office but did not wait for Shen Chenlan to come.

He quietly went to Shi Wenyuan's side and complained: "Master Shi, you see, a few days before he took office, he pretended to be conscientious, came every day, and left very late. But it's only been two days , people disappear.”

Shi Wenyuan didn't make a sound.

When the master saw this, he became even more indignant: "I don't know what the imperial court thinks. Mr. Shi, you did your best for Suizhou, but you turned around and arranged for a magistrate to come over, which restricted us everywhere. Now we have accepted a hundred refugees. I don’t know what to do in the future.”

Shi Wenyuan took a deep breath, waved his hands and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

The master stopped making a sound.

Not long after, Shi Wenyuan and his master went out to do some errands, and saw the people below whispering to each other, as if they were whispering something.

Master immediately arrested a person and asked, "What happened?"

The people below don't know if the two adults know or not, but it is a serious crime to make false comments about the magistrate.

So I dare not say it now.

"Is it about Mr. Shen?" the master said shrewdly.

The people below nodded.

Shi Wenyuan frowned: "What happened?"

So the people below talked about what happened at Mr. Shen's house today, and said: "I heard from the boy, I think they are still singing newspapers at the moment..."

After hearing this, the master felt as if he was facing an enemy: "Master Shen is taking bribes blatantly! Master Shi!"

Shi Wenyuan had some hesitation on his face, remembering what Shen Chenlan said when he took in the refugees that day.

So he said: "Look again, if Master Shen is really like this, I will find a way."

Master is so anxious, it’s better to go now and catch him right?
Anyway, Shen Chenlan, the magistrate of Suizhou, was eager to collect money before he could sit still. Isn't this a good time to get rid of him?
What is Mr. Shi hesitating about?

This matter was suppressed by Shi Wenyuan and waited until the afternoon.

Another person came in to communicate.

Said: "Master Shen, raised 17 taels of silver in the name of the government, and this money will be allocated to the government's account in the future..."

The master couldn't believe it: "Really?"

In that case, it's not that Shen Chenlan is collecting bribes in private.

Instead, he has gone to the bright side, and the government's money can be used in the future.

The master was speechless for a moment.

Shi Wenyuan patted Master on the shoulder, and said: "After Mr. Shen returns to the government office, listen to what Mr. Shen has to say."

He paused, and added: "Don't rush everything."

……

In the past few days, the local treasury has started to move in and store the donations of the various lords one after another. The mighty team came in and out, and everyone in the government office was stunned.

Shen Chenlan returned to the government office the next day and called everyone for a meeting.

Before the meeting, he called Shi Wenyuan over and asked, "How do you think of the plan? I just got the money together yesterday, and only after I'm busy at night will I have time to order someone to rush over the plan."

Shi Wenyuan's attitude was much more respectful than the previous two days.

He read the plan and was shocked.

I don't know how Mr. Shen came up with this plan in just a few days after arriving in Suizhou.

In the plan, the details are appropriate, and it seems that he knows Suizhou better than he, a Suizhou native.

"Your Excellency, have you been to Suizhou before?" Shi Wenyuan held back for a long while, and only asked this question.
