Daming: The county magistrate cried poorly and Zhu Yuanzhang exploded in anger

"Recently there is nothing to do, but the fifth day of May is coming, and we must have fun with the people."

Even so, the counties in the neighboring counties are very hard.

The county seat of the neighboring county is now suffering from malaria.

The only thing that can stop malaria is artemisinin from Liuhe County.

Artemisinin has become a tight commodity.

It's not that Zhang Song doesn't want to give artemisinin to neighboring counties, but he wants to make some money.

And the neighboring county is simply a poor county, and the economy of Liuhe County is completely incomparable...

This caused the neighboring county to be very angry when they saw the county town on Zhang Song's side, and many times they gave instructions to Ying Tianfu to ask the magistrate to punish Zhang Song.

But Zhang Song is a trickster, and Ying Tianfu is no different.

When Lin Zhenzhen and Lin Zhenzhen were about to go to the backyard to pick some vegetarian dishes and Yuchan and others to make a hot pot to eat, the prefect of Ying Tianfu came.

The magistrate is an old man.

There are about fifty people, and they come with the appearance of a learned man.

Beside him was a thin middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man wears a feather scarf on his head, and seems to be the master of the prefect.

The sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks of this middle-aged man looked like a treacherous person no matter how he looked.

Zhang Song's mood plummeted.

Never thought that the magistrate would come.

"Master Zhang...you don't go to the yamen to work today? It's so hot!" The magistrate didn't reprimand, but the master spoke first.

Is this just playing tricks on others?

Zhang Song glanced at the master and said: "Even if I don't go to the yamen, I can manage Liuhe County in an orderly manner. Some people go to the yamen every day, but the county government is a mess."

The master choked on these words, and the veins in his neck were bulging with anger.

"Master Zhang! Who are you talking to? This is your immediate boss!"

The master said with a sullen expression, his eyes didn't mean to put Zhang Song in his eyes at all.

Zhang Song chuckled, not as knowledgeable as him.

"You still dare to laugh?" The master pointed at Zhang Song's face and said, "Aren't you worried? You were kicked out of your position?"

"I'm really not worried. I handed in my resignation several times, but the Ministry of Officials refused to approve me. Hey, being an official is really not free, and freedom is not an official. Others want to be an official, but I want to resign. "

Because Zhang Song doesn't want to be an official, he doesn't care about you, the little prefect of Yingtian Prefecture.

According to the practice of the previous dynasties, the prefect of Yingtianfu should belong to the fourth-rank civil servants.

But Zhu Yuanzhang is more picky.

After all, if the rank of an official rises, that means a rise in salary.

This expenditure is very burdensome to the treasury, which is not rich at all.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was in charge of the world in the 30 years since the founding of the country, he always adopted light corvees and thin taxes.

Therefore, the revenue of the treasury is basically increased by monopolizing tea, salt and iron.

But if this is the case, it will not fill the treasury.

Throughout the feudal dynasty.

The light corvee and thin tax adopted, in fact, the recovery of the economy is very slow.

The best way, of course, is to do business with foreigners.

Sell ​​the tea and porcelain of the entire Ming Dynasty to foreign countries.

This will increase treasury revenue.

After all, foreign exchange trade is very expensive...

But these are very forward-looking theories, after all, no one has implemented them in the previous dynasty.With the experience of crossing the river by feeling the stones in the previous dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's dynasty would not have thought of this.

They take the achievements and experience of the previous dynasty as a matter of course and will not change easily.

Zhang Songben wanted to write these suggestions.

But he is a mere seventh-rank, and he is not qualified to participate in the government at all.

Even if the memorial is written up, it is estimated that Li Shanchang and others will let his memorial go to the sea early, and there will be no news at all.

Thinking of this, Zhang Song didn't bother.

Zhang Song's attitude made the magistrate very unhappy.

But today he came to beg Zhang Song, even though he was upset, he didn't get angry, but kept a very calm look on the surface.

Zhang Song waved his hand to the magistrate and said: "If the magistrate comes to be a guest, I have no objection. If he comes to teach me, hehe, I think you took away this official seal. Whoever you like will be the county magistrate of Liuhe... ..."

When Zhang Song disagreed, he dropped the pick.

He had been thinking about it for a long time.

After leaving Liuhe County, I went to Penghu Island.

Isn't the size of Penghu Island enough for me to be the owner of Xiaoyao Island?
"Why did County Magistrate Zhang say that? Of course I came here to make an open and secret investigation. To monitor your political achievements. After walking around, I saw that you have managed Liuhe County very well. It's really nothing wrong. Hehe..." The prefect With a dry smile on his face.

Zhang Song made a gesture of inviting inside.

"In that case, please come inside, magistrate."

Yuchan came now and saw that it was the magistrate.

Whispered in Zhang Song's ear: "Master, this person can't be the same as old man Zhu, right? Is he a free eater?"

"Hey, there's no way." Zhang Song smiled wryly.

That's why he hates being an official.

Seeing that your place is developing well, the superiors often come to your place to eat and drink in the name of inspection.

The other party is a superior, you can't let them eat and drink plain water, right?

Those who should be entertained must be entertained.

Although these foods are grown by myself...

But doesn't it take time to grow these vegetables?

time is money.

So, even though it looks like you don't spend money on vegetables, it's actually money.

In the back office, the hot pot is set up.

The prefect took his seat.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The magistrate smashed his lips and said: "Magistrate Zhang...Actually, the government came this time to ask about artemisinin..."

Zhang Song pretended not to know and laughed: "This thing? I don't know if the magistrate has thought about it, but this is a magic medicine against malaria. If you hold this medicine in your hand, you will be rich and prosperous. In this way, who would like to take it lightly?" Medicines for people?"

"As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda." The magistrate began to draw big cakes for Zhang Song.

Zhang Song pursed his lips and smiled: "Master Zhifu, I think we should eat vegetables and drink beer, and talk about this slowly."

The prefect has long been in no mood to eat food.

If he didn't want to get close to Zhang Song, he wouldn't be in the mood to eat hot pot and drink beer.

After all, among the counties under his rule, except Liuhe County, malaria has not been eradicated in the rest of the counties.

Dragon Boat Festival soon.

If malaria is not eradicated, how can we welcome dragon boats?

Dragon boat events directly reflect the style and politics of a region, as well as people's livelihood.

Jinyiwei is everywhere.

One accidentally reported these to the emperor.

As a magistrate, he did it right.

Don't look at him as the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture.

But in this place in the capital, he is nothing.

No one dares to control, no one dares to speak.

Even the county magistrates of several counties under his command, except for Zhang Song, which of the other counties does not have contact with the officials of the imperial court?

If he doesn't handle it well, he will wait to be put on shoes all his life.

Besides, it is good to wear small shoes. If one is not careful, someone will catch him, and even his head will be beheaded.
