Chapter 42 Knowing the State
Ge Dan hesitated after hearing Ge Lin's words. Has he done so many things? Think about it, it seems to be true!
However, Ge Dan was not as optimistic as Ge Lin. He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this matter is difficult to deal with. After all, I have only been in Danyang for four months!"
"The master is working hard, and the cabinet will not be stuck. With the help of the West Factory, this matter is not that difficult!" Ge Lin waved his hand and said optimistically: "Young master, please prepare! I guess there will be a written statement soon, and we should leave Danyang by then. Speaking of which, we have been here for four months, and I really don't want to leave."
Looking at Ge Lin's back as he left, Ge Dan shook his head. He always felt that this was unlikely to be so smooth.
After sitting down for a long time, Ge Dan smiled self-deprecatingly. It was not something he could decide whether to rise or not. What is the use of thinking about these things here. He stood up and stretched his body. Ge Dan was ready to do whatever he was going to do. The biggest thing in the county is to repair the Jiuqu River embankment. Tax matters depend on how much exemption the court gave. If it was exempted at all, it would be best.
As the days passed day by day, news came soon after in the capital. First of all, it was about fake Wang Zhi. There was no nonsense and a decision was made.
Ge Dan was not surprised. Feng Li was sentenced to a military force. According to Ge Dan's father Ge Qi, someone protected Feng Li in this matter. Ge Qi didn't know who protected Feng Li, but he knew that someone had secretly put in effort. The reason was very simple. Feng Li took on the whole matter and did not involve others at all. Some people naturally wanted to protect him.
Obviously, there are cases behind the case of Jiuquhe River embankment, such as Yan Libing, the original Zhenjiang Prefect, and even the one who approved the project to the next level.
Some people didn't want the case to be opened, so they reached out to press the case down. Ge Dan also got more information about Feng Li. He was a Jinshi and became three magistrates. Danyang County was the third magistrate and wasted his time as a magistrate. Originally, it would be good to be a magistrate until he died. If he had to be a magistrate, he would have to be a magistrate of more than a dozen magistrates. This was not unfair to the Ming Dynasty.
After serving as a member of Danyang County, he cursed the prefect Yan Libing, and was promoted to Zhenjiang Tongzhi, but this time he ended up being exiled to be exiled.
Putting down my father's letter, Ge Dan sighed and said helplessly: "This is the officialdom, true and false, false and false!"
Ge Lin, who was sitting next to Ge Dan, smiled and said, "If you retreat, you will be close. If Feng Liding dies, you will not be able to find the people behind you. However, it does not mean that the other party does not pay the price. This is the case in the officialdom. Since the master did not continue to pursue it, it means that the other party has paid enough price. Others have little to do with us. The young master's promotion is probably fine."
Ge Dan was stunned. There was such a twist in it. I picked up the letter and continued reading. Sure enough, the following was about this.
My father didn't write about where he would go, but he understood that he was about to be promoted. After Ge Dan put down the letter, his heart was mixed and he didn't know what it felt.
"This time one county or one county can't stop it!" Ge Lin said with a smile: "It can be considered a blessing in disguise. The young master is taking this step steadily!"
Ge Dan was stunned, "Still"? Are you down-to-earth? Ge Dan didn't feel that he was going down-to-earth. After pondering for a moment, Ge Dan asked hesitantly: "Is this matter over here? If you don't dig out the other party, will the other party come up? We took Feng Li and made a fuss about the Jiuqu River Embankment. They won't take revenge?"
"Revenge?" Ge Lin heard Ge Dan's words, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is not a revenge in the martial arts world, what are you taking revenge?"
"They threw out Feng Li to smooth out this matter. They were picking up the bargain. Why did they have to make trouble? What are the benefits? Is it not good to let this matter pass?" Ge Lin said with a smile: "No one is that stupid. What can revenge be obtained? In the future, they are competing with us, and that is also because of other things, not because of this time."
Ge Dan sighed, he was still too tender. Thinking of this, Ge Dan breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Then prepare to set off!"
In fact, Ge Dan did not have much preparation time. The document arrived three days later. Ge Dan was indeed promoted. He was not a county magistrate of Guo or a county magistrate, nor a deputy prefect, but a sixth-rank magistrate of Zhili Prefecture. The court appointed Ge Dan as the prefect of Hezhou on the grounds that Ge Dan had made great contributions to the investigation of fake Wang Zhi case and Jiuqu River Dike case. Ge Lin was right.
According to Ge Lin, this time he not only took one step forward, but also made a big step forward, and Ge Dan's feelings became even more complicated.
What Ge Dan has to do next is hand over, hand over with the new county magistrate. Only after the handover is completed, Ge Dan can take office in Hezhou.
The Ming Dynasty is not popular in the current Ming Dynasty, and Ge Dan does not have to spend any effort on it. The umbrella of the people is something that officials in the Qing Dynasty like to do. When local officials leave office, the gentry and businessmen in this place have to express a little retention. The more common method is to give " umbrella of the people", which means that this parent official covers the common people in one place like an umbrella. The more umbrellas they send, the more face the official is.
If someone else in the local area sends umbrellas or even stops sedan chairs when the official is dismissed or demoted, it means that the official is definitely a clean or good official, and the locals are also affectionate and righteous.
It’s okay for a clean official, but the people are spontaneous, but who would like to make people say they are corrupt officials? When leaving office, they have to make some umbrellas of the people and some monarchs of virtue and politics. Some even take the opportunity to extort money from the local area. It can be said that corrupt officials have very strong ability to play their roles. Both the umbrellas of the people and the monarchs of virtue and politics can become tools for making money, and it can be said that they can do everything they can.
The news that Ge Dan was leaving was naturally unconcealed, and the news soon spread. Ge Dan had not been in Danyang for a long time, and people in Danyang County actually did not know much about Ge Dan.
However, there was a group of people who were very grateful to Ge Dan. These people were displaced because of the broken mouth of the Jiuqu River. Ge Dan found food for them, asked doctors, gave them tax exemptions, helped them spend the disaster year, and did not let them sell their children and daughters. If anyone in Danyang County doesn't want them to leave the most, then it was this group of victims. So these days, disaster victims came to the county government every day.
