Xinshun 1730

Chapter 1015

"Funing order?"

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, the magistrate of Funing County, who felt his neck was so stiff that he could not feel it, heard Liu Yu's call, and quickly moved his already stiff neck.

"The subordinate is here."

"Do you have any rumors about what happened here?"

The county magistrate of Funing looked at the clock, and it was almost ten o'clock. He thought that these people should not be unable to see the situation clearly, but they were frightened and didn't know what to do. At this time, there must be someone who takes the lead, and they are guaranteed to come out I was wrong.

But no.

If not, then no wonder I fell into trouble.Although we usually call each other brothers and friends through literature, but today this matter is always weird, I'm sorry.

"The lower officials have heard about it. But as an official, you should know the priorities. Before the start of the work, the Duke also said that this time the imperial court is pouring all the power of the whole country to restore the prosperity of the two Huaihe Rivers. Therefore, other matters are minor. Repairing the river is a big deal."

"The lower officials have heard about it to some extent, but they think that the river can only be built in winter, but the case can be handled all year round. Therefore, the lower official thinks about the priorities, first complete the work, and then handle the case."

"Even if the Duke doesn't investigate this matter, once the river is repaired, the subordinate officials will definitely investigate to the end even if they have great ties and are threatened by tens of thousands of people!"

Funing county magistrate Xindao is already like this anyway, if you don't care, I don't care.

It's just that you've made it clear that you're going to do something wrong, so what else can you say?

At this time, the chime bell had already struck, and the people present couldn't help shivering.

Liu Yu glanced at the county magistrate of Funing, and recited another sentence.

"The tiger's mouth came out of the box, and the tortoise jade was destroyed in the box, whose fault is it?"

The county magistrate of Funing only took about half a second to think about it, and then replied: "If you know that it is a tiger, then it will come out of the box, and it will be a fault of Dian Shou."

"If you don't know it's a tiger, but think it's a righteous bird, it's nothing wrong with you."

"The ancients said, knowing people, knowing the face, but not the heart. The heart is in the box, and if you don't come out, how do you know if it's a tiger or a lamb?"

"Use yourself to judge others, consider others with kindness, and trust others with benevolence and righteousness, the Duke of the state is a true gentleman!"

"Wait for it to open, and know it is a tiger's mouth, and bravely stop it, the Duke of the state is a true gentleman!"

Liu Yu coughed lightly, thinking that he is indeed the magistrate of Wuzi County, and he really has some skills.

This five-character county is almost the top configuration among Dashun county magistrates.

The previous dynasty pioneered the division of counties into simple and traditional ones, Dashun inherited it, and decided a total of seven characters to evaluate each county.

They are: Requirement, Complexity, Relief, Difficulty, Difficulty, Side, and Special.

An important place, as the name suggests, is an important military location, a place where a government, a province, or even the whole country will collapse if something goes wrong.For example, Baoding, the gate of the capital, Zhenjiang, the hub of the canal, Xuzhou, the gateway to the southwest, Jinling deters Anqing, and Jilin Shipyard, which controls the entire Heilongjiang River Basin.

Complexity does not mean prosperity, but a lot of things.

Relief means that disasters occur frequently, which requires both organizational skills and at least a slightly better reputation for incorruptibility.

Diao, the common people are full of martial arts virtues, difficult to manage...difficult and special, as the name suggests.

Since it is divided in this way, the selection of county magistrates in each county has different opinions.

Generally speaking, county magistrates all over the country are of the same rank, but a few words determine the order of promotion.

Even if a newly promoted Jinshi has the ability, if he is directly thrown into a place like Xuzhou where a few words are basically complete, then it is pure nonsense.

Generally, among the seven characters, the last word "Bian" is selected from Wude Palace by default.Bian refers to both the external border and the internal Yi-Han border area.

Funing County originally had four characters, but with the abolition of the canal and the renovation of the Huaihe River, it was directly upgraded from a four-character county to a five-character county... The most typical example of such county-level adjustments is Shanghai County.In the past, there was absolutely no word "want", but after the canal was abandoned by the sea, this word had to be added.

Funing County and the word "Bian" are not close to each other, but the rest of the words are all pasted, which has a special meaning in the officialdom: promotion is expected.

The imperial court is optimistic about you and thinks you are capable, so they throw you to Wuzi County to practice and practice, all of which are mediocre.After all, everyone started from the two-character and three-character counties at the beginning, and only threw them to the five-character and six-character counties if they performed well.

Even if the tone is flat, the level remains the same, but the meaning is quite different.

The more characters in the county, the higher the promotion ranking.

Of course, it also means that the rate of imprisonment is relatively high, the rate of dismissal is quite high, and the rate of being washed away is extremely high.

And Funing County, in the atlas revised after the Privy Council seized the power of the Secretary of the Staff, it is introduced like this: Funing, the height of the North Pole is 33 degrees and 32 minutes.57 degrees [-] minutes east of the meridian of the Forbidden City.Complex, Relief, Difficult, Difficult, Special.It is close to the Yellow River in the north, facing the sea in the east, and there is a dike called Fan Gong, which will not be harvested in nine out of ten years.The five disasters of yellow, flood, tide, wind and alkali occur frequently.It is also the flood discharge site of Hongze Lake.

If there are five of the seven characters, it is impossible for the county magistrate to be a young child.

For counties with more than five characters and counties with the characters Bian and Te, the power of selection is neither in the hands of the Jiedushi nor in the hands of the official government, but in the hands of the emperor's secretary team. The Secretary-General's Temple of God's Blessing.

Whether the emperor has power is one thing.

It is another matter to have the right not to use it, or to be lazy and leave it to the secretary.

It cannot be said that because the secretary does it, the secretary has the power and the emperor is decentralized.

Therefore, the county magistrate in this kind of place knows people and face but does not know his heart. It is hard to say whether he is corrupt, but he must have some ability, and the ability to talk is also ability.Because after the selection, the emperor would summon the county magistrates in some special places. On the one hand, it was to show his kindness to the emperor, and on the other hand, it was also a kind of inspection.

Facing Liu Yu's problem, the Funing county magistrate didn't even need to think about it, and directly removed Liu Yu's responsibility.

Originally, it was the responsibility of a tiger, but when he said this, Liu Yu seemed to have no responsibility at all.

According to him, this is a blind box, and no one knows whether the people released from it are monsters, ghosts, or gentlemen and talents.

And as a human being, you can’t think of people as bad. Isn’t that following the old path of heresy and thinking that human nature is inherently evil?From the point of view of the sages, Liu Yu did the right thing, and he is still a model of a gentleman.Employers are not suspicious and others are not.

The county magistrate of Funing talked happily, but he was also thinking about the current situation in his heart.I am the first county magistrate after Funing was promoted to Wuzi County, and now Funing has added the word "special".

This word is not permanent, but time-sensitive.

It seems that it is because of the construction of the Huaihe River, which is indeed a "special".

The problem is that Xiuhuaihe has been making soy sauce all the time, the court directly parachuted a duke to coordinate, and he has his own shogunate team, so the county magistrate himself is not sorry for the word "special".

But before taking office, his specifications were indeed in accordance with the specifications of "Wuzi County".

Thinking about it now, I'm afraid that the "special" character of my county magistrate does not lie in the construction of the Huaihe River itself.

It's about what happens after the Huai River is built.

What can happen after that?

Certainly not now.

But now that Lord Xingguo has set up a "recognition" meeting in such a murderous place as a lowland, before the commendation begins, people have to turn themselves in and admit their mistakes. Doesn't this mean that these gentry are going to be punished?

After all, he is still a little timid, and he doesn't dare to have too much imagination.

The county magistrate of Funing thought for a long time, and felt that the meaning of Xingguogong might be that he thought that after the Huaihe irrigation area was built in the future, most of them would learn from the southern side of Jiangsu, conduct land inventory, re-grade land taxation standards, or change the [-]th. Tax?
So find an excuse to scare these gentlemen?

If he did this, the county magistrate himself had to understand that it was definitely not what Duke Xingguo wanted to do.

Although Xing Guogong was said to be a thorn in the court before, he was not domineering. These two words, officialdom, are still quite clear.If he is not domineering, he is in charge of southern Jiangsu alone, and he is not in charge of southern Jiangsu justifiably. How could he extend his hand to northern Jiangsu?Obviously, this was ordered by someone.

Who can instruct the Duke of the current dynasty?

This behind-the-scenes instigation is ready to come out.

The county magistrate of Funing said in his heart that the key points need to be understood, and he must not lose his head at this juncture.I am a small character, if the local gentry really has the ability to overthrow the Duke, or force the emperor to deal with the Duke, but it is expected that he does not have such skills, so what are you waiting for if you don’t make trouble at this time?

Looking at the soldiers around the depression again, the county magistrate of Funing was even more chilled. He thought that the imperial court did not send troops at all in order to show that the central government could still control the burial case before. Could it be that there are rumors?No one will be crazy and want to assassinate the Duke, right?
Thinking of this, his whole body became colder, and he hurriedly said: "Duke, I think that since this kind of thing has already happened, everyone should be detained first and checked one by one. Guilty or innocent, it will be clear after investigation." .The lower officials must go all out."

Liu Yu said lightly: "Investigate, of course we need to investigate. But this matter... is not that troublesome to investigate. The rules are here in black and white. In my opinion, there is no need to interrogate them, just send someone to repair the river. The people in the village will find some more, and ask them how much money they received and what kind of rice they ate, wouldn’t that be the end of it?”

"Now the incident has happened, and all the food has been pooped out. I don't think it matters how the process is. This incident is not a trivial matter, but it is not ordinary corruption. It can be said to be He Gong's money, or it can be If it is said that the money is paid for by work, or that this is a major military matter of the imperial court, it is related to the safety of millions of people affected by floods in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces, so it should be regarded as military administration and in accordance with military law."

The county magistrate of Funing shuddered, thinking to be good, Duke, Duke, your hat is a bit too big.

If this is according to what you said, counting river labor funds, relief funds, military and political affairs as crimes of reselling military supplies... This will be a lot of heads.

If it's just corruption, it's not a big deal.

Just refund the money and add a fine, plus a dismissal, if any.

After all, Dashun didn't like to peel day lilies to make a warning.

But if you define it as these three types, isn't it obvious that you want to kill people?

How does this count?
Is it ordinary corruption and embezzlement?

Or is it reselling military, political and military supplies, or is it embezzling according to the disaster relief year based on the work-for-relief funds?
It makes sense anyway.

But the result is very different. Next to the disaster relief fund or the military supply fund, it is dead.

This obviously intends to kill people, the county magistrate of Funing said in his heart, since you want to kill people, so whether you kill them or not, my opinion is not like farting?

But if you just make a big case like this, my reputation will be as bad as yours, and I have to save a way out.

In the future, I can be a cruel official or not, but you can't let me only have the option of being a cruel official.Today's incident is quite weird. I thought you were trying to frighten them so as to check the acres of land and raise taxes, but you directly charged such a big hat to kill people. I have to think about it carefully.

"Duke! I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Liu Yu nodded and said, "But it's okay to talk about it."

"The Master said: The Tao is based on government, and the people are free from shame. The way is based on virtue, and the way is based on propriety. There is shame and dignity." After the Funing County Magistrate quoted this sentence, he said: "Yes Therefore, this matter, the lower officials think, there are other explanations."
