The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 290
I thought this trip was to take customs clearance documents, just like Tang Monk learning Buddhist scriptures, wandering all the way.

Pass Chuzhou, go to Luzhou Prefecture, and go west to Liu'an Prefecture.

Keep a low profile on the road, there should be no moths looking for you, and it will go smoothly.

As a result, before leaving the city, I saw Zhu Biao waiting at the gate of the city, as if he was waiting specially.

Zheng Xiong greeted in a hurry, while Zhu Biao looked around, then supported Zheng Xiong, and said to Zheng Xiong.

"have they gone?"

Zheng Xiong is a little confused, his feelings are still waiting for him here!I have nothing to worry about!

My last inheritance is given to you, so longing for my own departure, what kind of trouble is it!

"Let's go. The whole family is here except for the two brothers. Thank you for your Highness."

"I don't want to bother His Highness if I have nothing to do. The minister and his parents have planned the route and are going to rush to the border of Chuzhou as much as possible today. I'm afraid we won't be able to make it any later!"

"Your Highness, Haihan, please."

Zhu Biao is like a dog's skin plaster, no wonder Zheng Xiong is in a bad mood, and there is a hint of impatience in his speech.

Zhu Biao didn't take it seriously, and didn't pursue Zheng Xiong's disrespect, so he spoke slowly.

"I didn't mean to stop you today. Because my father was in a hurry, I learned that you were going out today, so I asked Gu to wait at the city gate."

"Under closer inspection, it turns out that you haven't prepared enough."

"My marquis of the Ming Dynasty are all people who have made great contributions to the world, how can travel be so shabby!"

"I specially prepared a ceremonial guard for you, and the palace sent you official documents along the way. Don't worry about supplies along the way, I promise you a pleasant journey."

Zhu Biao didn't feel much, anyway, he followed Lao Zhu's arrangement.

But Zheng Xiong is different, I am afraid if I think about it carefully.

As for the itinerary that was only confirmed within these three days, Lao Zhu knew it now.

If it was okay for my family to leak it out, if my family members didn't say anything and Lao Zhu knew it clearly, then it would be a big deal.

A life with no secrets at all can only live more cautiously from now on, and the signs revealed now will be a wake-up call ringing in my ears from time to time, as a warning.

And what Lao Zhu prepared was completely inconsistent with his low-key personality.

The ceremonial guard plus official documents, traveling with great fanfare, although thoughtful, is a bit unusual no matter how you look at it.

There is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason.

No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't resist and disobey the order, so Zheng Xiong could only accept Lao Zhu's kindness and thanked him.

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Your Highness, I am ashamed to accept it."

"It's okay, you can take it, let's go on the road with peace of mind!"

It’s okay not to say it, but as soon as Zheng Xiong said this, a bad feeling emerged in Zheng Xiong’s heart.

"Yes, Your Highness is leaving, and I will have a drink with His Highness when I return to Beijing another day."

After speaking, under Zhu Biao's farewell eyes, Zheng Xiong's family embarked on the road of seeking relatives.

Zhu Biao returned to the palace to renew the decree, and when he saw Lao Zhu, he also asked the doubts in his heart.

The mighty grace of the emperor may be considered, but it is not to the extent that it is clearly arranged for others.

"Father, Zheng Xiong has already left, and this son-in-law came to return, but I am a little puzzled, why did you ask him to see you off?"

"There's no need for a family to travel far away, so there's no need to arrange it so thoughtfully! I wonder if there is any deep meaning?"

The information is asymmetrical, Zhu Biao may think of buying people's hearts and giving Zheng Xiong a warm greeting.

If you don't understand, just ask, as the heir of the future empire, Zhu Biao is humbly asking for advice.

Old Zhu smiled mysteriously.

"Do you think Zheng Xiong has the ability, how is he?"

"Extraordinary ability, hating evil as much as hatred, being a man may lose virtue, but not lose righteousness."

"That's it. You think you have the ability, and we feel the same way. There's nothing we can't give such a little favor."

"Great favors may make people feel grateful, but you must also pay attention to the details. Only by working together can others be loyal to you and not easily betray you."

"You have to learn some of these."

"Furthermore, a big fanfare can also avoid some prying eyes. Such an arrangement will also show others the relative glory of our Daming title."

"People! You can't escape the word fame and wealth. Zheng Xiong's glory is also seen by others, and it can always inspire people to forge ahead. So even if it's just a show, we have to do it, and we can't make people feel cold."

Although Lao Zhu gave an explanation, he did not mention other reasons.

With such a big bright light bulb, Xiaoxiao must be able to block more than half of it, but those with a heart can only act in an open and aboveboard manner.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the occurrence of that tiny accident, and people can take advantage of loopholes and catch them to find reasons.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, so there is no need to hide and choke, let the horses come over!
And Lao Zhu didn't want Zhu Biao to get involved in the darkness prematurely, and he protected Zhu Biao very well.

Zhu Biao is very obedient and filial, and he behaves according to Lao Zhu's cultivation.

Lao Zhu was extremely satisfied.

So it was not stated.

By precept and deed, Zhu Biao seemed to understand Lao Zhu's intentions, as if he had gained something.

One is responsible for teaching the income of life, and the other is responsible for perception, which complement each other.

Zheng Xiong left the boundary of the capital on the first day, and then went to the territory of Chuzhou.

The planned route is just right, without major errors.

With Lao Zhu's arrangements, the journey was very comfortable.

There is no one who does not have long eyes, on the contrary, he has been worshiped by many people.

The plaque of Yihou is on the side, as long as anyone who has directly or indirectly received Zheng Xiong's favor will be grateful.

In the whole world, there is one and only one doctor, and the people's request is very simple, as long as an official is a good official, it is enough to be sought after by others.

And Zheng Xiong didn't mention anything else, just based on what he did in the pharmacy, it wasn't bad.

Now Zheng Xiong can truly feel the hearts of these unpretentious ordinary people.

If the things done can be remembered and appreciated by others, then this trip will not be in vain.

Where the responsibility lies, even if it is targeted by others, it is worthwhile to be an enemy of others.

During the short journey, Zheng Xiong seemed to have undergone a baptism in his heart, which deepened his belief.

When Zheng Xiong arrived at the post house in Chuzhou, the treatment he received was also very good.

Single room, clean and hygienic, just by looking at it, you can tell how much homework and thought the people in the post have done.

The journey passed quickly, just as Lao Zhu expected, and the journey was comfortable and smooth.

On this day, Zheng Xiong and others arrived at the boundary of Luzhou Mansion.

Zheng Xiong thought that as before, it would be good to enjoy the scenery of the journey quietly.

As a result, unsatisfactory things happened as promised.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. The closer the place is to Nanjing City, the better the security and the better the officials.

If they are far away, then there will always be places that are not illuminated by Lao Zhu's light, and illegal things are being done.

When Zheng Xiong's frame passed by, the oncoming people knelt in the middle of the road, holding up plaques, loudly saying grievances and words of injustice.

Blocking the way to file a complaint, a plot that I thought would only appear in TV dramas, was actually presented in front of Zheng Xiong's eyes in this way.

The guards presented in the guard of honor stopped in front of the frame one after another, preparing to disperse the complainants.

Zheng Xiong was curious, he quickly stopped a few people, got down from the carriage, and said to them.

"This Marquis, Zheng Xiong, has been greatly loved by His Majesty, and he has been granted the title of Marquis of Medicine. Why are you blocking the way to file a complaint?"

Zheng Xiong made a simple self-introduction and named him.

Seeing Zheng Xiong's young appearance, several people were a little disappointed, but Zheng Xiong's identity was confirmed by several people, and they hurriedly continued to worship.

"Your Majesty, the younger ones have grievances, so I ask you to make the decision for us!"

As in the usual opening, Zheng Xiong was puzzled at first.

"Why don't you find the local officials if you have grievances? Let them decide for you, but instead block the frame of the Marquis, why?"

This is a bit redundant, Zheng Xiong already has the answer, but he still said it.

The answers of the next few people also confirmed Zheng Xiong's guess.

"Your Majesty doesn't know something. The younger one went to the county government office and filed a complaint, but it was useless. Because the people sued the officials, they were beaten up at the county government office first."

"After that, we said that we have insufficient evidence and will not be tried."

"We refused to accept it, so we went to the government office to file a complaint, but as soon as we arrived at the government office, we were caught by people from our county office, sent back, and were severely beaten."

"I also warned us that there are people from the county government in the entire Luzhou Prefecture. Even if we can sue the Governor, it will not be a problem. This time is a lesson. If there is a next time, it will be more than just a beating."

"Since then, we have also been afraid, and dare not sue again."

"I thought that the grievances would never be washed away, but it happened that Master Hou passed by, and the younger ones were unwilling, so they wanted to try one last time."

The matter is simple and clear, just like the petitioners in later generations, there is grievance, and I always want to find a place to reason.

Other places are not unacceptable, but there is another very important place, and that is the office.

For the timely transmission of news, and for the convenience of handling the relationship between the government and the county, handling affairs, giving gifts, etc., there are also local offices in the government office.

The court envoys in the Tang Dynasty, Jinzuoyuan, etc., and the guild halls in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were equivalent to the existence of the Beijing Office.

Some things are inherited in one continuous line, and when they are good, they can play a positive role, and they can also greatly improve the communication between the local government and the central government.

But there are positive places, and naturally there are invisible filth.

If civilians who petition like this come to the government office and don't want to meddle in your business, then your fate can be imagined.

The first thing is to notify the local authorities and let them handle it themselves, and they have to handle it well.

But when you get to the place, the result is obvious. It wasn't dealt with, let alone dealt with.

Moreover, he committed a taboo, for such a stabbing result, a severe beating is not bad.

Now that a few people can still stand in front of him, it can be seen that the people in the county government are not too bad.

After hearing this routine operation, Zheng Xiong was also interested, so he asked.

"So, what is your grievance?"

Zheng Xiong asked questions one after another, and the mood of several people became more and more excited.

I am willing to listen to you, then there must be other meanings in it.

But before they could speak, officials from the county government hurried over and stopped them in time.

"The lower official didn't know that Lord Hou was coming, so he was far away from welcoming him, so he asked Lord Hou to forgive him."

"These people didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and disturbed Lord Hou's car, we immediately told them to leave."

After finishing speaking, several people walked out from behind the arriving officials, intending to forcefully take the complainants away.

Zheng Xiong hastily stopped and sternly said.

"Wait a minute, I have nothing to do, I just want to listen to it, I will talk about it after I finish listening."

"You guys continue talking."

Zheng Xiong's attitude was more uncomfortable than the words of restraint. The officials who arrived were at a loss and could only watch helplessly as several people gradually told the story.

"Yes, the younger ones are from the county. They have a few acres of fertile land at home, and they can live well."

"But since His Majesty made you a Marquis, there has been a Marquis of Nanxiong in Luzhou."

"Originally, Master Hou is high above us and has nothing to do with us, but it started from the year before last."

"The son of Lord Hou has returned to Luzhou."

"I heard that when Lord Hou's son returned to Luzhou, he wanted to seize the land."

"Farm land is the top priority."

"If the business is okay, the worst thing is to replace another property."

"It's just that the Hou's Mansion is gradually disregarding the rules, and it's no different from stealing by chance."

"The fertile land of our family was also replaced by it, saying that we are close and easy to take care of."

"It's just that we went to look at the field to be replaced, but it was wrong."

"It's obviously just a barren mountain, but it's good land for me and others, and it's not like bullying people."

"I wanted a theory, but I was told that it has been replaced and cannot be changed."

"The little ones obviously didn't agree, so naturally they didn't agree. What happened after that was that they were always on the board. I also ask Lord Hou to be able to make decisions for the little ones."

After listening to the story, Zheng Xiong lost interest.

The same is Hou, he may not be better than others.

Besides, if he is not in his position and does not seek his own government, there are too many miserable people in the world, and he can't manage it himself.

And this is something that Lao Zhu should take care of, he should kill and bury him, so he doesn't say much about it.

Zheng Xiong stared, and said to the officials who came.

"As the parents and officials of the county government, this Marquis does not want to ask too much about the right or wrong of the matter."

"It's just that serving as an official will benefit one party, and you should also understand the weight of responsibility."

"It's your dereliction of duty that the people can't eat and have no land."

"Since I have reported to Benhou, I have to give an explanation."

"This Marquis is here to ask you, can you give them a place to live in a field so that they can earn money?"

At first I thought that Zheng Xiong had some righteous words, but the result is that the big things are turned into small things, and the small things are turned into small things.

If you can't solve the problem itself, you can solve it from another angle.

The complainant was a little silent.

Some are not reconciled, after all, it is a field that has been cultivated.

But Zheng Xiong can give a result, in comparison, the conditions are much better.

So they all kept silent.

But the officials who came here were relieved when they heard the words, this is much easier to handle.

"If it can be done, we will arrange fields for them right now, so as to ensure that the spring plowing will not be delayed, and let them go out again."

Zheng Xiong smiled with satisfaction.

Stubbornness can only be revealed in one's own job.

They're all suspended now, so why meddle in their own business.

Besides, I can't stretch my arms that long.

It would be nice to be able to find a place for them to eat with the existing titles, and nothing else can be done at all.

Now it can be regarded as an explanation.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Zheng Xiong just wanted to leave, but was stopped again.
