Chapter 293
Yuwen Jing bowed and said, "It has come to this point, what Qiongguan County wants is just a fair punishment within the province. What is this inconvenience to the adults? The person who is in charge of the government office is responsible for the affairs of the government office, can be dismissed; the province allocates some money and grain to the officials in Qiongguan County.
The adults will write another letter and give a private condolence to Magistrate Ye. These three things are just a matter of raising hands, so that the changes in Qiongguan County can be easily calmed down."
Although Qiongguan County is going to make trouble, although it is actually an outbreak of years of grievances, the reasons on the surface are just those. Since that is the case, as long as all these problems are solved, what is the reason for the officials and people of Qiongguan County to continue making trouble?
Lord Gu suddenly realized that he was thinking too much, but hesitated and said, "Will this be too weak? It seems that my official is weak and can be bullied. What should I do if Qiongguan County threatens this in the future?"
The general principle is that mass incidents must not be easily concessions, otherwise they will happen again and again, and the majesty of Shangguan will disappear. How can we talk about governance?
Yuwen Jing said calmly: "Where is the way the gentleman takes. This time, it is precisely because Qiongguan County is reasonable that it cannot be cured. If he makes unreasonable trouble, he will have his own laws to control it, so what is the point?"
When Lord Gu thought it was reasonable, he followed Yuwen Jing's suggestion. A minor official in the yamen of the governor took the blame and was dismissed from his post and returned home. Lord Gu squeezed 300 taels of money from the province and allocated it to Qiongguan County, which was considered as the annual salary of the minor officials.
Although he was unwilling to do so, Lord Gu still asked his master to write and wrote a letter to Ye Xingyuan privately. The letter was full of false words, and he only praised it casually, so that he could recover without having to work too much.
After receiving the letter, Ye Xingyuan looked at it and put it down with disdain, and smiled and said, "There are experts around the Fantai, but unfortunately they have not been able to make good use of it. There is no need to worry too much."
The money allocated by the province had arrived at the county government yesterday. Ye Xingyuan didn't pluck his hair, and paid the debts that the county officials had owed for several years. The clerks were shocked when they got the money. It was not that they had never seen such money, but the key was the county magistrate's intention.
An old official cried and said, "I am so kind and loyal, how dare I not repay you if I die without responding to death?"
Officials and officials have different identities. Officials benefit from Yin God and are limited by Yin God. They are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, and they cannot understand the secrets of heaven. Although they are the best compared to ordinary people, in the eyes of arrogant officials, they are no different from guarding dogs.
Not to mention poor places like Qiongguan County, even in a wealthy county town, the salaries of officials are rarely paid in full, and there must be arrears. They each have their own means. In short, it has become a common practice to scrape out a layer of oil from the county government office to support their families and make a fortune.
This time, when Ye Xingyuan was injured, he made a fuss. The clerks just wanted to take advantage of the situation and get some benefits. They didn't want to give in so quickly, and Ye Xingyuan gave it all so happily, which was a courtesy they had never received.
When the Qin County Chief heard the discussion of the clerks, he smiled at Ye Xingyuan and said, "Your Majesty will win the hearts of the officials in the county. In the future, you will be able to act like an arm and finger and be able to handle it."
Ye Xingyuan shook his head and said, "Most officials are clever people, how could they be conquered so easily? They have to use both soft and hard to temporarily suppress them. This is just the first step."
At this time, the Qin County Magistrate could guess that everything was directed by Ye Xingyuan before, but he did not dare to say it, nor did he understand how Ye Xingyuan could control the situation. He only admired him even more and felt glad for his choice.
He thought for a while and asked again: "This time, the adults took the first place to solve the urgent problem for the time being, but the county affairs are still in a tight position. If you want to govern, you will lack money. I wonder what good advice do you have?"
Ye Xingyuan said calmly: "The first time the province rejected the subsidy confession, I will be inconsistent with the matter. I have already thought of another way. There will be a reply soon, but this matter must not be repeated. In the future, the county will have to find a way to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."
The province's subsidy application was not applied for. In addition to taking the opportunity to design a big drama, Ye Xingyuan also took a two-pronged approach to seek help from Beijing.
In order to ask for hundreds of taels of silver to find the emperor, most people can't do such things, but Ye Xingyuan did it naturally. In fact, many people have misunderstandings in their thinking, thinking that they can solve small things by themselves and ask their boss for help. However, on the contrary, irrelevant small things can make the boss complete them with a simple effort, which will make him feel more accomplished. As long as he doesn't have too many times, he will not be dissatisfied with his subordinates.
If he really gives him any trouble, he will also have a headache. He will not reflect on his abilities, but will only feel that his subordinates are incompetent. Ye Xingyuan is well aware of this. He will of course never let him go if he has such a chance to show his presence in front of Emperor Longping.
However, Emperor Longping, who was in the capital, burst into laughter after receiving Ye Xingyuan's letter, said to Eunuch An, "The little monkey is really brave. He said that the finances in Qiongguan County are tense. Jianmen Province refused to help him when he saw that he was dead, so he asked my inner treasury for hundreds of taels of emergency to demonstrate his holy virtue."
Eunuch An was stunned and said, "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of things, and he is really embarrassed to disturb these trivial matters? In my foolish opinion, Your Majesty should be rebuked heavily, otherwise he will become more and more presumptuous."
Emperor Longping laughed and said, "He was a top scholar and was sent to such a remote place. He was actually a monster and drowning everywhere. It was really helpless. It was because I had let him down. He only asked for a few hundred taels of silver. It can be seen that it was not a false statement. It was a true gentleman. I would like to help him once."
The next day, Emperor Longping issued an order to allocate 1,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury to support Qiongguan County.
After the money arrived in Qiongguan County, it caused another excitement. The so-called emperor's kindness was vast, but when did you see Qiongguan County where the sky was high and the emperor was far away? Until Ye Xingyuan, the top magistrate, came to Qiongguan, could the emperor of Wancheng give up silver? What a honor and favor this poem?
Lord Gu was even more angry when he heard this news. He knew that the emperor was stingy. In recent years, the cabinet wanted the emperor to open the treasury and paid for it, but he used various excuses to make excuses. Now, he actually traveled around for a little little Ye, so the emperor allocated funds to sponsor it. Isn’t this a slap in Jianmen?
This kid is indeed a lucky minister and a treacherous slander! Lord Gu has never seen Ye Xingyuan yet, but after a few rounds and turns, he labeled him.
With this money of silver, Ye Xingyuan was like a fish in water. The county government, which was originally bound to be held, could finally be fully deployed. The first step was to build a dry toilet and clean the environment, starting from the day the money arrived.
