The next morning, after Chu Ci clicked after Mao, he still stayed in the Tixue Department to handle the official documents he handed over yesterday. After the work was done, he left the Tixue Department and went to the prefect's office.

Magistrate Lu was pointed out by his subordinates yesterday, and he also felt that Chu Ci was probably taking Qiao because of that matter. He felt very conflicted because he wanted to leave money and also wanted to find out some news from Chu Ci. Unfortunately, both of them were not allowed.

If you have to get the money, you can only give up your money.

For this reason, he was not happy to get up early in the morning. However, this unhappiness turned into panic when he heard his subordinates report that Chu Ci did not come to discuss matters today.

If Chu Ci couldn't come, he would have no choice but to do anything to others. In his position, he would be treated as a magistrate. He wanted to use his power to suppress others, but others would not buy it at all. However, they almost had the temperament of Lord Du.

I don't know anything. I used to have contact with the Tixue Department and that Lord Qi. This new official of Lord Du took office for three reasons. Isn't he just going on a tour just to establish his prestige below? If he offended him, I'm afraid Zhangzhou would be

The mansion was the first place he wanted to burn.

After thinking about it, the prefect Lu decided to send someone to invite Chu Ci. At this moment, he didn't think it was an unpleasant thing to return the money to the Tuxue Department, because sometimes, the money could not be given out.

It's even more unpleasant.

"Sir, Chu Ti is learning!" When he was about to send someone over, the gatekeeper suddenly came in and told him the good news. The prefect Lu immediately got up and went to the middle gate to greet him in person.

"Chu Ti, I'm asking me to wait! But what happened in the yamen is delayed?" His tone was kind enough to surprise Chu Ci. It's really strange that Old Man Lu didn't even have a smelly face today!

Chu Ci smiled and bowed, "I'm sorry, Lord Lu welcomes you. There are still some business tasks in Chu's yamen, so I'm late today. I hope you will forgive me."

"It's okay. Chu Ti's busy with official business, so why would I blame you?"

The two of them chatted while walking and soon arrived at the conference hall. Other officials greeted the two of them one after another, and after a few more greetings, the prefect Lu couldn't wait to shift the topic to how to welcome the patrol.

Chu Ci still looked embarrassed and said that he was just a school official and should not interfere in too much people's livelihood. Prefect Lu and his subordinates looked at each other, and an official stood up and said, "Chu Tixue is humble, no one knows.

You mentioned that the Xueshi Department’s academic fields have a bumper harvest this year, and you have made other achievements in people’s livelihood.”

When Chu Ci heard him mention Xuetian, his face suddenly became cold: "This Xuetian was allocated by the imperial court to be fully managed by the Tixue Department. The crops in the transaction should not be considered as the people's livelihood economy in the mansion, right?"

"Cough cough," Prefect Lu coughed twice in embarrassment, "Chu Tixue, that's not what Lord Wang meant. He wanted to say that no matter what official, he should pay attention to the development of local people's livelihood. The emperor often says that people-oriented.

.However, when it comes to this, I remembered something, and I still feel a little sorry for the school department.”

"Sir, please speak out."

"Didn't the Xuesi want to do the Yurongwan business? Someone slandered me in front of me, saying that this was a matter of competing for profit with the people, and said that I would impeach you. My official advised me to persuade me and stopped him.

Next, I sent someone to remind the adults, but somehow it caused a misunderstanding. I also deducted 30% of the money from the Tixue Department in the mansion. I was furious when I found out, but the matter was settled.

I changed my orders every day, so I had to accept them in shame.”

Speaking of this, Magistrate Lu secretly glanced at Chu Ci and found a playful smile on his face. I don’t know if he believed it or didn’t, but he never followed it and could only continue to talk.

"I think of this matter recently. The more I think about it, the more I feel it is inappropriate. How can I succumb to rumors and regard Lord Chu as a corrupt official who is inseparable from profit and cannot get up early? So, I went to the last night with a few people.

A master discussed and decided to return all the 30% of the funds deducted from last year to the Tixue Department. Lord Chu, what do you think?"

What else can Chu Ci do? Of course he accepted it with a smile. He immediately gave a thumbs up to praise Magistrate Lu as a good official who was indeed an honest and selfless, and said that he would definitely promote this matter vigorously in the Tixue Department so that everyone could

All of them can understand the good intentions of Prefect Lu.

The prefect Lu was sweating on his forehead and laughed dryly, saying that there was no need to promote it. This was what the teaching department deserved, but the things returned to the original owner.

"Oh, sir, I'm so humble." Chu Ci sighed with disagreement, but in fact he sneered in his heart. This old man knew everything, so he didn't have the nerve to mention it in front of everyone. Look at what he said just now, it was so damnable.

To put it bluntly, he also made up a false man to come out to take the blame.

"Then, Lord Chu, can you tell us about this newly appointed governor now?"

The money had been obtained, and Chu Ci changed his attitude of refusing to the front and sat in his seat and talked happily: "As we all know, this Lord Du was one of the main scholars in our province before he became the governor. But he

He is introverted and not ostentatious, so no one knows him very much.”

"This is his first tour since he became the governor. The purpose is to better understand the situation of our governments. So I suggest that we must keep the model simple and not promote extravagant styles, so that the governor mistakenly thinks we are

The officials in the government are corrupt officials, and they have plundered people to expand the situation."

Prefect Lu nodded repeatedly. They had only considered how to receive the reception before, but did not consider this level. It really woke up the dreamer!

"What else?" asked Magistrate Lu.

Chu Ci smiled slightly and said, "Also, they will definitely enter the yamen during this trip, so whether it is the tax account book, the statements of the case that have been settled this year, and the records of the officials when inspecting them, they must be sorted out and put together.

The governor is in the room for reading so that they can see how you are usually obsessed with official duties.”

Prefect Lu slapped his thigh: "This is good, I will let them sort it out later! Chu Tixue, is there any?" His eyes were shining at Chu Ci. If his political performance evaluation can be excellent this year

, he can find an opportunity to move upwards.

"After reading these, the governor must have a field investigation. You will take them to the village for a walk, especially those with many poor people, who will take them there."

When he heard this, Magistrate Lu frowned, as if he was a little suspicious. After Chu Ci noticed it, he asked him to just say it out.

"I agree with the previous few points. But this one, if you ask me to take them to those poor villages, wouldn't this mean that the officials are incompetent and that the people in the jurisdiction are hungry?" If it weren't for what I said before, it would be quite reliable

In the book, the prefect Lu even suspected that Chu Ci was taking revenge with his personal power.

Chu Ci understood as soon as he thought about it. Yes, officials like to whitewash the peace. Just like in the previous TV series, when the emperor went on a tour, every time he went, officials would drive away all the beggars and poor people on the street to create a

The illusion of prosperity comes out to deceive the superiors. However, such truth will usually be exposed, and the consequences of family confiscation and extermination.

"Master Lu, you might as well think about it. If there are no poor people in Zhangzhou and all of them are from wealthy families, then the taxes paid will not be the only ones now? How can you explain to the governor to the place where you go?"

Priest Lu’s hair is about to stand up. Yes, how can he explain it? He can’t explain it at all!

"Thank you, Lord Chu, for reminding me, I almost caused a disaster. But, what should I do so that the governor will not think that I am incompetent?" The prefect Lu is now completely unwilling to pay back so much money to the Tixue Department.

He found that Chu Ci did have something to do.

"Chu believes that the adults only need to answer truthfully, of course, you cannot say that you have done nothing, just tell the governor all the difficulties encountered in improving people's livelihood."

"Difficult... 1510..." Prefect Lu pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up. He understood! Chu Ci made him and the governor cry poorly! Their Zhangzhou Prefecture has always been poor in several prefectures in Nanmin.

If you slap your face and pretend to be fat, you will be able to see the flaws. It would be better to show weakness to seek some benefits!

"Mr. Chu, continue talking."

"After seeing these places, you have to go to good places. For example, several large workshops in our mansion, you can take the governor to see them. First, to show the unique style of our Zhangzhou Prefecture, and second, you can also sell them by the way.

Our stuff.”

"This... sells things for merchants? Isn't this a collusion between officials and businessmen?"

Chu Ci was upright and honest: "This is not. We are clearly supporting the economic development of the mansion. If we sell more things in these workshops, we can pay more taxes. We have established good relations with the merchants, and we will build bridges in the mansion in the mansion in the future.

Can they still have the nerve to watch if they pave the road or something?"
