Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Yuan Yizhi, the supervisory censor, came from an ordinary family. He was new to the Censor Tai Procuratorate. Seven colleagues and 34 supervisors greeted him with smiles, but he felt isolated.

This feeling is similar to that of Fan Zhengchu entering the procuratorate, the difference is that at that time there was also a Li Yifu who was not welcome to meet, and they hugged each other to keep warm.

But it was Yuan Yishi's turn, and there was no one to hug him.

Among the 34 supervisory censors, eight were middle-aged men, which made it difficult for him to accept for a while.

However, Yuan Yizhi had some self-knowledge after taking a look at the appearance of the middle-aged supervisor Shi's fingers flying, and listening to the sound of the abacus calculation like a storm.

Don't look at him as a foreign official, in terms of importance, he really can't compare.

If you can't figure out the accounts of the various divisions, what ghost do you monitor?
Yuan Yishi was allocated to an old inspector named Nangong Hutu and a middle-aged inspector named Shu Cang.

Nangong is confused, who knows if it is real or fake?
It is said that this old man, with the same brushwork in the Spring and Autumn Period, has profound attainments.

Shi Yushi Qiu Shenji walked into the procuratorate, raised his eyebrows and asked: "This year's Huazhou, if there is no one to supervise, who will go?"

After Ayeqiu Xinggong's kick, Qiu Shenji finally understood that he had no holy family, so it was impossible to deliberately target any superior, and it was better to do things down-to-earth, and then take a stab at the camera in the future.

Therefore, this time, there is really no personal grudge.

Qiu Shenji thought it through clearly, but the censors didn't know what he was thinking, so it was inevitable to be cold.

It is not easy to deal with a thorn;

It's even more difficult because the thorn is a senior in the procuratorate.

This thornhead dared to kill people in front of His Majesty, it made people frightened.

Yuan Yishi didn't see anyone responding, so he knew that the task was difficult, but he bit the bullet and said, "Your Majesty would like to take a trip to Huazhou."

Nangong blinked his dim old eyes in a daze, signaling Yuan Yizhi to think twice.

The good intention is that Yuan Yishi accepts it, but if he doesn't accept this errand, he doesn't get any merits at hand, what will happen to the exam in September?
Qiu Shenji gave a rare exhortation: "Follow the law, don't waste it and don't let it go."

Shu Cang quietly made a face behind Qiu Shenji's back.

Tsk, you have the nerve to say that.

It wasn't until the three of them left the procuratorate and went to the station to borrow a stage horse to ride, that Yuan Yizhi said, "Is there anything wrong with Huazhou, the history of Nangong's supervision?"

Nangong sighed confusedly, and Shu Cang laughed: "It's nothing wrong, my uncle is the governor, and he is the kindest person, as long as he doesn't intentionally tease him, he won't fight tit for tat."

Yuan Yishi understood the implication.

It's rare to end up teasing.

Nangong shook his head in a daze and remained silent.

Young people, when you get off the bus, don't you want to ask about the great achievements of your predecessors?
Since Weinan County, the weeds have been wilting, and although the wheat is gradually filling, the farmers are still sad, strangling the jumping beetles every now and then.

Shu Cang's brows showed a hint of complacency: "If uncle insisted on shutting down and warning last year, they were still planting millet, and this year they are afraid of famine."

"Although the current situation is not good, at least we can mow wheat soon, and although we are not full, we will not die of hunger."

Nangong was silent for a while in a daze, and then said sadly: "In the second year of Zhenguan, there was a drought and locusts in Chang'an, and my younger brother starved to death."

Although Yuan Yishi didn't say anything, he already had a tendency in his heart.

Based on this sentiment, if there is something wrong in Huazhou, it can be corrected face to face, without having to go to Yushitai.

Although the supervisory officials say that they should be fair in dealing with things, who doesn't have a little emotion and a little bit of a standpoint?
With the supervision history of Shu Cang, who was born in Dunhuafang, it is understandable that Yuan Yizhi was taken a little bit sideways.

Having said that, each of the eight supervisory censors is paired with a supervisory history from Dunhuafang. Anyone who comes has to be led astray. The difference is the direction and strength of the deviation.

It cannot be ruled out that some slanderous people, the better others speak, the darker their psychology will be.

After crossing Chishui of the Jiehe River, the post-horse had traveled a few miles, and Yuan Yizhi suddenly reined in his horse: "Have you noticed the difference between the two sides of the strait?"

Shu Cang shook his head.

They are all the same wheat, the same drought, and the same gnats. What's the difference?

Nangong's confused old eyes showed a hint of a smile: "Shangguan has good eyesight. In the west of Chishui, there are lifeless and walking corpses; in the east of Chishui, the spirit is full of energy. Even urchins and old women try their best to catch gnats."

Carrying a thin leather bucket and rushing around, the baby smiled and said, "Why don't you catch a weed that costs eight cents a catty?"

Nangong's confused eyes sparkled: "Honey, who pays and where does it get collected?"

Yuan Yishi also looked curious.

Locusts were probably not used as medicine in the Tang Dynasty, and most medical books mentioned locusts in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

"County town! The envoy will pay you no matter how much!"

Wa'er smiled and rushed to the edge of the field, quickly caught two jumping hoppers in a hurry, threw them into the bucket and covered them.

"You son of a bitch! I'm sure you didn't catch as many as I did today!"

A comforting smile appeared on Yuan Yizhi's face.

No matter what the tactics are, it is a good thing to arouse the enthusiasm of the common people to catch locusts.

It can be concluded that if the locust is in Huazhou, it will not become a disaster!

Hurry up and go to the west gate of Zheng County.

The 180-mile journey is really fast, and it can be reached in a day, but it is a bit expensive on the inner thighs.

Anyway, there is a station in thirty miles, as long as you can stand it, you can change trains in turn.

Before sunset, the three of them checked into the post house.

Official to official, the accommodation must be a post house, and only go to the mansion house if you need to disguise your identity.

Anyway, the post house belongs to the Department of Driving of the Ministry of War, which is much safer.

The next day, at three o'clock in the morning, after eating breakfast in the post house, Yuan Yishi and the other three adjusted the Xiezhi crown and walked towards the state government office.

"Supervising the censor! Qingtian! I finally waited for you!"

An old man with gray beard and hair yelled out his throat.

Yuan Yishi was slightly surprised.

Judging from the customs of this road, the governance of Huazhou should be extremely clear. Many so-called upright officials can't do this step. How can there be people blocking the way and complaining?

This is due to Yuan Yizhi's lack of experience. When doing things, some people benefit, and some people are empty-handed or even damaged. Even gods can't do a bowl of water.

Nangong narrowed his eyes confusedly: "Who are you? Why are you blocking the way?"

The old man burst into tears: "The villain is talking nonsense, the former doctor of Confucianism in Huayin County, because he prevented the emperor from eating and jumping, he was involuntarily said that he will never be hired except for the doctoral position!"

On both sides of the street, children picked up dirt and threw it viciously at Hu Yanzhi, cursing endlessly.

"Making you demonstrate by example, teaching the people to turn disasters into benefits, and reduce locust plagues in Huazhou, this old man is going against the law, he should be beaten!"

He Gouxiong walked out of the state government office, and bowed to Yuan Yishi and the others: "The official told me that the envoy sent the emperor in Huayin County to educate the people to eat gnats. This rascal said that the imperial court worshiped the god of insects and that people are not allowed to eat jumping gnats."

"My lord has something to say, there is only one purpose for offering sacrifices to the gods: to let the common people live well and prosper!"

"If you can keep the people alive, don't talk about eating gnats and locusts, even if the gods stop you, you will dare to eat them!"

There was silence.

Suddenly, there was a burst of "color", which merged into a confluence, and the sound shook the sky. (end of this chapter)
