Chapter 394 Is Narrow-minded
After Mrs. Cao woke up, the matter of Cao Shu and Qiu Shan had already been settled.

Mrs. Cao is naturally going to make a fuss again.Mu Jiaojiao let her make a fuss, and then sent someone to speak to her.Just this one sentence made her calm down.

In fact, what she said was very simple, only a dozen or so words that were plain and simple—if you, an elderly person, want to go down and accompany more than 100 members of the Cao family, we will help you.

Originally, according to the records of the imperial court, Mrs. Cao was already dead.So now even if she dies again, no one will say anything.Even if Mu Jiaojiao killed her in public, no one would stand up and speak up for her!
As for Cao Shu, she has clearly been brainwashed by Mu Jiaojiao now, and now she is dying for that man Qiu Shan, how can she speak for her great-grandmother?
Mrs. Cao looks aggressive on the surface, but she is really afraid of death.So when she heard Mu Jiaojiao's words, she immediately fell in love.

That's it!
After everything was agreed upon, Qiu Shan got up and went to Chang'an, intending to tell the elders in the family about the matter, and then the elders came forward and invited a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

This marriage was arranged by Mu Jiaojiao with all his strength, presumably none of the elders in the family would object.

A few days after Qiu Shan left, Chen Junbi, the magistrate of Hailing County, came again.

Since the incident of the plague, he has been honest for a few days.Appearing in front of Cui Pu again this time, he was even more flattering, the flattery in his eyes almost flew out!
Cui Pu hated this person very much in his heart.

If he was just annoyed by this person's actions when he first came here, then he really felt disgusted during the flood fight.

But that time he used Dai Ziang as a shield, and cried again with snot and tears, and put on a full-fledged attitude of admitting his mistakes, Cui Pu couldn't punish him.But I am also the magistrate of Yangzhou at any rate, isn't it easy to deal with the next little magistrate?
Just like now, he just got stuck with the disaster relief funds for Hailing County, didn't this person take the initiative to post it like a pug again?

"Prefect Cui, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting more and more energetic! Do you have any secret recipe? I wonder if you can share it with the lower official? The lower official has been busy with the post-disaster reconstruction of Hailing County these days, running around all day long. People who went there are much older!" As soon as he saw Cui Pu, he began to flatter enthusiastically again.

These words seem quite vulgar.But as the saying goes, a thousand wears a thousand dresses and flattery does not wear them.In a few simple words, he not only praised Cui Pu, but also praised Mu Jiaojiao's medical skills, and finally emphasized his hard work in Hailing County these days.A few seemingly unintentional words reveal so much information, which is beyond the reach of ordinary people!

If it weren't for Dai Ziang's incident, Cui Pu might still be in the mood to see him make a fool of himself in front of him.But now, he was not in the mood to watch this person jumping up and down at all.

"Honestly, what are you here for?" He coldly interrupted his intentional flattery.

Chen Junbi knew that he was still angry with him, so he said honestly, "I came here today to ask the magistrate to allocate more disaster relief funds to Hailing County! You only allocated [-] yuan a few days ago, which is not enough at all. ah!"

"Isn't it enough? But isn't your Hailing County under the protection of thousands of elite soldiers under Dai Observation Officer, the damage is minimal? According to the information you sent at the beginning, this ten thousand is more than enough!" Cui Pu sneered .

Chen Junbi secretly groaned in his heart.

Back then when he and Dai Ziang teamed up to cheat Cui Pu, they originally wanted to break the embankment. Even if someone with deep experience in the Ministry of Industry did it, it would take at least a month or two to toss.And once the sun shines again after the disaster, things will be even worse, Cui Pu has a big head!
And as long as he doesn't handle things quickly enough, Chang'an can use this as an issue.No way, who told you that Cui Pu is now the magistrate of Yangzhou?Even if the previous magistrates were responsible for their ineffective supervision of the damage to the dam, you must be the one who has been hit the hardest.

However, it's hard to die, Cui Pu borrowed a thousand elite soldiers from Wang Cishi, and he got things done so quickly!Mu Jiaojiao ran to help him again, and the couple made another great contribution!

If it is said that Cui Pu organized people to fight against the flood, he did nothing but merit, but what Mu Jiaojiao did really deserves a thumbs up.

But these two people are fine, so those people who secretly did bad things to hinder them will be fine!

There is no way, in order to get rid of the crime, they can only desperately promote the results of their efforts.Such as what dykes are well guarded, the population is hardly damaged, and the food disaster in the county is not too serious, and so on.

Before that, Cui Pu asked the county magistrates below to make a list and report the losses in the county.

People in other places are naturally desperately crying for poverty.He wanted to cry like that too, but would he dare?He's already said so much before!

The list that was handed in at the end was naturally whitewashed and whitewashed.Even though [-]% of it was damaged, he only dared to write [-]% of it.The consequence of this is that the disaster relief funds allocated to Hailing County are very small, not enough for him to ask people to buy bricks!
Cui Pu was the magistrate of Hailing County before becoming the prefect of Yangzhou, and he knew the financial revenue of Hailing County like the back of his hand.As expected, at the end of the year, this person may have to pay the same amount of taxes as in previous years!No way, who said that Hailing County is the least affected place under Yangzhou Prefecture?
Facing the [-] guan that was delivered to him, Chen Junbi wanted to cry but had no tears.

In fact, Hailing County was not lightly affected by the disaster!Several dams were damaged, thousands of mu of fertile land were flooded, and hundreds of households had no fixed homes.These cost money to rebuild!
But he can't say this to Cui Pu.

He could only say with a shy smile: "That's right. However, after all, Hailing County is a big place and has a large population. It seems that the damage to each place is not serious, but when you look at it together, it is actually not serious. Not much! Especially following your instructions, the dikes and dams everywhere must be closely monitored, and the unusable ones need to be rebuilt as soon as possible, all of which cost money! But now the official has only [-] guan..."

"Hey, the government office is also short of money now!" Crying poor, right?Who wouldn't!

Cui Pu immediately moaned and sighed non-stop: "Last time when the government called your county magistrates to discuss the post-disaster reconstruction, you also heard about the situation in other counties. Jingjiang County, in particular, was almost destroyed in half! The imperial court only allocated 100 million guan to do things for us. After careful calculation by the government, it is really not enough. Since your Hailing County is the least affected by the disaster, and Hailing County is also one of the richest counties in Yangzhou Prefecture, you should first Renren, when the grain is harvested at the end of the year, won't you have some extra money? At that time, it will be a big deal for the government to charge you a few percent less tax!"

Ahhhhh!
Chen Junbi really wanted to jump up and scream!

This kid tricked him again!And it turned out to be much more tricky than he imagined!

What does it mean to reduce Hailing County's tax by a few percent?After the disaster, the imperial court has issued an order to reduce or exempt taxes in Yangzhou Prefecture, and Hailing County is naturally included.But judging from Cui Pu's intentions, he has now singled out Hailing County alone!

This kid intends to continue to collect taxes, but also to be responsible for all the reconstruction costs himself!
Where did he get so much money?

Chen Junbi wanted to cry to death.If he had known that Cui Pu was so narrow-minded, but luck was so good, he would never have chosen to offend him at that time!
If this matter is really settled in this way, then the crimes on him must be even more serious, and the people in Hailing County will hate him to death!
"Prefect, [-] guan is really too little! With this little money, I can't even repair new dams." He said with a mournful face.

Of course Cui Pu knew little.However, now that the distribution of money is in Lao Tzu's hands, so what if you are not satisfied?
He smiled triumphantly: "Isn't there still Dai Observation Envoy? You have such a good relationship, since he has been responsive to your requests before. Now, as long as you ask him to lend you a few more days of his staff, the new embankment Isn't it built? All you need to pay is the food expenses of those soldiers these days. By the way, didn't you listen to the inspector Dai boasting that you prepared very rich meals for those soldiers during the flood fighting period last time? They must be willing to help you."

Chen Junbi was so frightened that his legs went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Borrowing troops to build dams for the county is something that only a lunatic like Cui Pu can think of!But he dare not do it, Dai Ziang will definitely not agree!

A good soldier should stand at the forefront of defending the country.They can come here temporarily to help with things like fighting disasters.But for the follow-up matters, it should be the county magistrate who organizes civilian husbands to handle them.Letting them do the physical work of moving bricks and carrying water is an insult to these elite soldiers and a humiliation to Dai Ziang!
As long as he dared to make such a request, Dai Ziang could draw out his sword and kill him on the spot!

He is afraid of death!

"Prefect Cui, please, I beg you this time sincerely for the people of Hailing County! You don't want to watch the people of Hailing County suffer, do you?" He could only change direction.

Is this using his feelings for Hailing County to persecute him?

Cui Pu's eyes darkened.

It is true that he has a special feeling for the places he brings up with his own hands.This is the case in Tianchang County, and so is Hailing County.No matter where he goes in the future, he hopes that these two places will get better and better, and the lives of the people will become more and more prosperous.

However, this does not prevent him from using people from that place to deal with the bastard in front of him!
"Are the people in Hailing County suffering? Why doesn't the government know about it!" Cui Pu's face darkened immediately, "Chen Zhixian, please tell the government clearly what's going on? Is it these two days? With your ineffective management, what major accident happened in Yurang County?"

Chen Junbi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

He has never seen such a shameless person!He was clearly talking about that matter, but Cui Pu abruptly brought him another big matter, and he was labeled as incompetent management from the very beginning!

As long as he dares to nod his head, it means he has admitted his mistake, and Cui Pu can seize the opportunity to teach him a lesson.And if he shakes his head...

Chen Junbi closed his eyes in pain. "Prefect Cui, you've lost your mind, nothing major has happened."

Right now, he can only choose to shake his head!

"Oh, the government can rest assured." Cui Pu quickly patted his chest, looking relieved.

But there was a flash of light in his eyes—yes, he is so narrow-minded and will take revenge!
