286: The poor, the poor, the poor [seeking monthly ticket](1/2)
Rich household?
Shen Tang's eyes lit up.
In the eyes of several officials, it seemed as if they had been hungry for a long time. When they finally saw the beast of prey, their eyes lit up several times. Shen Tang smiled and asked them to introduce it more, but they were not sure what the new governor meant.
Are you ready to kill some local snakes so that you can live your life?
It's not impossible.
In a remote and remote area like Heyin, you have to behave obediently when the dragon comes. Even if you are a county guard, if you want to live a good life, you must please these local snakes. These officials are often ridiculed by several families, and their former colleagues are also subjected to ridicule. If you can't bear this grievance, you will either be induced to collude with them, or you will leave with your seal, or you will pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend that you don't know, otherwise -
Those days were really difficult.
The only reason they can persist is because they have been miserable. They haven't received any monthly salary for 13 months, and their families are too poor to open the pot. They are almost eating dirt. They really have nothing to bully, they cannot pose a threat, and they are not even worth buying. ..To make something happen to them is no more difficult than squeezing an ant to death.
Although I don’t know why such a young county governor was appointed, he knows how to deal with the world and knows how to deal with things, so he may be able to live longer. In the blink of an eye, similar thoughts flashed through the minds of several officials, which made Gu Chi’s mouth tremble. Can't stand it.
Their Mr. Shen came with a butcher's knife.
Humanity and sophistication?
Something's going to happen?
It's okay for those local snakes to know their faces, but if they don't, the butcher knife they hold in their hands will ruthlessly fall on their necks. Of course, Gu Chi thinks that with Shen Tang's poor and crazy state, even if those "rich people" are willing to know their faces, they may not end up like that. It will be fine.
Who made Shen Tang poor?
She is poor, so she can't bear to see evil people being richer than she is.
Shen Tang stood on the high city wall, quietly listening to several officials discussing the situation of each family. Her face was as cold as frost, and her heart was raging like fire. She wished she could just hold a sword and rob the rich to give to her. Shen Tang sometimes Nod your head, and sometimes say something in reply.
The official said: "...That's almost it."
Shen Tang smiled and said: "Wangchao, you go back and find a good day. Let's bring some generous gifts to visit you. He looks familiar."
Several officials felt uncomfortable after hearing this.
It's a good thing that the new county magistrate is "sensible" and will live a long time, but when he first arrived, he was so straightforward and flattering, and his unworthy behavior was indeed secretly despicable. It's just that their looks were already bad, and they were a little bit dark. Some of them are hard to see.
Several officials have their own thoughts.
Gu Chi held back a smile and accepted.
"Go back, the wind is strong above the city." Shen Tang tightened his clothes and planned in his mind how to kill the Zhang family. The landlords had money and food, so he first took some money from their hands to celebrate the New Year. "In recent years, the river has been Is Yin’s foreigner registered in the register?”
Although he was disdainful in his heart, he still wanted to get along on the surface, saying: "There were some in the past few years, but not in the past two years."
Shen Tang was curious: "Why is it like this?"
The official said helplessly: "The writing in pen and ink is simple and can be used sparingly."
Yes, the reason is so absurd.
Although the production of bamboo slips is relatively simple, there are bamboo forests nearby, and the materials are easy to store, the cost can be reduced as much as possible, and pen and ink are not ridiculously expensive, but the Fugu of Heyin Zhizhi can't even pay the official's monthly salary, and the treasury is only left with The only bits of dust and ink on the writing slips had to be kept to record official documents and government affairs, so they couldn't even be used to do other things.
Shen Tang: "..."
It really makes those who hear it sad and those who see it shed tears.
Fu Gu is also considered poor but elegant and refined.
However, it can also be seen from the side that these officials have good intentions and do their jobs to the best of their ability. Even if they are not very good people, they are definitely not evil people. Shen Tang does not intend to let them "change their illness" ”.
There are few people now, and only one strong man can be captured.
"...In this case, it's not easy to find someone..." Seeing that the officials didn't speak to him, Shen Tang could only find a ladder by himself.
Gu Chi cooperated from one side.
"My lord, do you miss the third lady?"
The so-called "Sanniang Zi" was just a casual comment he made.
Didn't Shen Tang have a "sister who had not yet left the fifth server and defected to He Yin's relatives"? The focus is on this person rather than the order.
She said: "It's a little bit."
Gu Chi continued, deliberately raising his voice to ensure that several officials could hear their conversation: "Master, don't worry too much. We have already arrived in Heyin, and the place is only so big. Find someone." It shouldn’t be difficult…”
Shen Tang sighed: "I hope so."
One of the officials was also considered interesting.
"Mr. Shen, are you looking for someone?"
Shen Tang nodded: "Well, there is a sister who has not yet reached the fifth server. If she had not been kind enough to lend a helping hand in the early years, I am afraid that I would not have survived to this age, let alone what I have achieved today. After that, my sister left with her parents. It is said that she Come to Heyin. The kindness of a drop of water should be repaid with a spring of water. Thinking that I have some wealth now, I want to reunite with my sister and repay the kindness I had in the past."
The official's face brightened slightly when he heard this.
Thinking about it, the new Sheriff is not without his merits.
If you know how to repay kindness, your character will not be too bad.
The official asked again: "Where did that lady come from?"
Shen Tang is not sure.
"It could be two years ago, or it could be three years ago? There were wars in various places before, and the information was not convenient, so I don't know very well." Shen Tang looked ashamed, and the information he gave was very vague, but the officials did not think so. Just continue to lower your favorability.
The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.
Even in peaceful and prosperous times, communication is difficult, let alone a time of war when everyone is in danger and everything is precarious.
Just staying alive is extremely difficult.
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Shen. You will know after checking the transfer register."
Shen Tang nodded and said "Yeah".
In order to see more of the situation in Fugu City, Shen Tang deliberately asked the officials to take him around half a circle - what he saw from the city wall had a different visual impact than what he saw at a close distance.
Looking at the 50% to 60% dilapidated buildings in the city, I dare not think about how the common people rely on these houses to protect themselves from wind and rain, avoid cold and heat.
I don’t know how many people will freeze to death in this first snowfall.
Shen Tang deliberately tried not to think about this problem.
In order to make the play look more realistic, Shen Tang asked Kang Shi and Qi Shan to help him check the household register - nominally to find the whereabouts of his "aunt", but actually to find the pigtails of several "rich households" - -With their arrogant style in Heyin, it is impossible not to leave a criminal record.
If it were in the past, these people might destroy the evidence and burn it all in a big fire, leaving them dead without any evidence.
But Ha Yin has been in their hands for too long.
The so-called "county guards" who were suppressed and killed by them were not less than five fingers. What kind of situation could Shen Tang, a twelve-year-old boy, become? They have the final say in Heyin, and the imperial decree of the king is not good. Make. Be arrogant and domineering, and you will naturally not be afraid of it.
Kangshi was choked by the accumulated dust and coughed.
He picked up a roll at random, looked at it through the light outside the window, and said, "Do you need to look for it? Just grab a handful."
Qi Shan: "Ignore this for now, put them all away."
Pull out one roll and throw it into the wooden frame.
Kang Shi looked at the blurred handwriting on it. The simple book had been stored for a few years, and there was mold on the edges and corners. This showed how long it had been piled up in this room. The victims had nowhere to redress their grievances for how long. Each volume was dripping with blood. With the blood and tears of the common people.
Chu Yao, Gong Shuwu and Zhao Feng were responsible for settling the people they brought, selecting elites from them, and replenishing the empty administrative office. Since they have settled in Heyin, everything that should be arranged must be arranged. After a while, the administrative office will be Quite "lively".
Also, there is one more thing.
Shen Tang asked Gu Chi to calculate the monthly salary of each official, and first took money from his own pocket to give them three months' advance.
The rest will be replenished after the fat sheep of the Zhang family is swallowed up. It is inevitable that among these people are the eyes and ears of the Zhang family. Shen Tang just lamented that he was currently short of money and the expenses of his account were huge, so he could not make up for it for the time being. Monthly salary.
Let them wait patiently for another month or two.
The monthly salary for these three months will be taken home for a good year, and when the spring farming begins, she will find a way to make up for it for everyone.
The officials were surprised.
I never expected that Shen Tang would do this.
Although they were trying to get around to asking for arrears of monthly salary and then transferring the disease, they knew that it was unlikely. Because the person who owed them monthly salary was not Shen Tang. She was just a new official who had taken up the post and had no obligation to compensate them privately.
If she is willing to dig into her pocket, that is because she is open-minded.
If they are unwilling to pay, the officials have nothing to say.
They were all prepared to be shameless and find an opportunity to mention the matter. Unexpectedly, Shen Tang took the initiative to lend a helping hand just half a day after arriving.
People are so kind, but they can't be shameless. They get their monthly salary and then leave. They have to work for at least half a month and a month, otherwise they will feel bad.
It was getting dark and everyone dispersed.
Shen Tang asked Gu Chi: "Do they have any problems?"
"My mind is pretty good, but I don't have any ears or eyes."
Shen Tang deliberately took Gu Chi with him and asked the officials to lead the way around. In addition to understanding the situation in Fugu City, he also wanted to test their details. If someone like Zhang was inserted, they should be swept out as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams.
"Then let's use it for now."
After all, we are all working people and life is not easy.
Shen Tang pulled together the manpower he could use now, and was able to cobble together a "grass team". In the next few days, he must come up with a plan to rectify Fugu as soon as possible. Especially as the weather is getting colder, many people are afraid that they will have to endure the cold weather. Don't go there.
To be continued...
