Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Chapter 213 Ambition

The master was taken aback and said quickly, "How can you be so worried, my lord?"

The county magistrate Fu took a few steps back, clenched his fist into a fist, pressed it on the desk and said, "Master Wei is about to go to Yizhou with relief food. I heard that this time he came to Yizhou not only for disaster relief, but also for disaster relief. We will investigate the case of the Golden Embankment burst."

The county magistrate Fu paused and said: "You and I both know that the Jindi breach involves too many prefectures and counties. The entire Yizhou, and even the entire Jiannan Road, are mostly implicated. Yizhou says it’s not near, but it’s not far.”

The master understood that he was afraid of becoming a pond fish that would be affected.

He thought for a while, then whispered, "Have you asked Master Fu in the capital?"

County magistrate Fu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid my uncle won't be able to take care of me either. It's better to rely on yourself than others."

That's not his own uncle, he's just a side branch of the Fu family.

The master comforted him in a low voice: "My lord, the casualties in Luojiang County are not serious this time. At least compared with other affected states and counties, our situation is considered to be in good condition. Therefore, the subordinates think that the lord does not need to worry too much."

"If I want to take advantage of this to go further."

The master looked up at Magistrate Fu in surprise.

The county magistrate Fu took two steps with his hands behind his back, and after considering his words, he said: "This year is my sixth year as the magistrate of Luojiang County. Normally, I should have received some news when the spring begins, but the above news is not enough. No, I asked someone to go to the Ministry of Personnel to inquire, but I didn't find any news."

He had discussed this topic with Master, and both of them were inclined to want them to be re-elected by the Ministry of Personnel, or they had forgotten their number, so naturally it didn't matter if they were promoted.

The magistrate Fu did not want to be re-elected again, and said: "As a rule, the magistrate is elected for two consecutive terms, and then he is promoted to one level, or he is transferred back to Beijing, but I will be re-elected for three consecutive terms. How many nine years can I have?"

In general, there are only two situations for such a **** county magistrate. One is that the official is too old to move to the right, so he will be in office for the rest of his life; Indefinitely postponed.

But Magistrate Fu felt that he didn't belong to the first category, nor the second category. He was forgotten. If he didn't do something, he would probably be forgotten indefinitely.

In fact, his identity is a bit embarrassing. He was born in a scholarly family, but he is a side branch far away from his direct descendant. His family is rich, but he has no network resources in the official circle.

On the other hand, he did not have any outstanding political achievements in his tenure, and he had no merits or faults, so Shangguan had no intention to recommend him, and the Ministry of Personnel naturally did not remember him very much.

If he doesn't do anything, he may really serve four or five consecutive terms in Luojiang County. When he gets old, even if he can be transferred, he will most likely be transferred to another county and then serve as county magistrate.

That's not what Magistrate Fu wants to see.

Of course, the master didn't want his employer to be mediocre. After a little thought, he understood, and asked, "Does the lord have a direction?"

"I mentioned it to the county magistrate two days ago that I want to report to be exempted from this autumn's tax, and I have to apply for some relief food with Mr. Wei. After all, our county is now taking in many refugees, and the people under our rule are also damaged. If we don't provide relief, I'm afraid there will be another incident of selling children and vassals." The county magistrate Fu thoughtfully said, "They agree with the latter, but we haven't been able to decide on the former."

Undecided, most of them are in favor, and even more opposed.

The master expressed his understanding that not all the autumn taxes will be shipped to the capital, and most of them will remain in the local area as local financial expenditures.

The county magistrate Fu wanted to go a step further in his political achievements at this time, and of course he was willing to tighten his belt and do a good job, but most of the officials below the county magistrate were local people, and they would stay here for most of their lives. Money is more important.

Moreover, the application has to pass the provincial governor, and the provincial governor may not be willing to be exempted from the tax.

"However, someone made the same suggestion today," Magistrate Fu said with his eyes deep and his hands behind his back, "Although that is just a little baby, if even a little baby thinks this way, then among the people under my rule, How many people think the same thing? If there is no relief, no tax reduction or exemption in the end, plus there are so many refugees under the jurisdiction, once someone instigates, then..."

The master was startled and pondered: "My lord is right, and now the entire Jiannan Dao officialdom is in turmoil, one is not very..."

"I am also worried about this," Fu County magistrate lowered his voice and said: "My uncle wrote a letter saying that the saint and the court were very angry about the Jindi burst, not only the Jiedushi Lord and the prefect, but also Even the King of Yizhou may be implicated."

One by one, either the second-rank vassal officials, or the imperial relatives, they are almost unable to keep it, let alone the small shrimp and fish underneath.

Magistrate Fu was lucky. Luojiang County was on the sidelines and was in the deep mountains. Da Hong didn't reach them. They had to know that three magistrates had already died since the Golden Embankment burst.

One fell into the water while fighting the flood and was washed away, one was chopped by Jiedushi, and the other committed suicide by hanging.

The same county magistrate, although Yizhou is far away from Luojiang County, the county magistrate Fu is also frightened, for fear of becoming a pond fish.

That's why he wanted to take the opportunity to make some achievements, not only for promotion, but also for self-protection.

The county magistrate Fu discussed with the master for half the night, and then fell asleep on the collapse of the study. The next day, the cock crowing a second time, and he got up from the bed.

The fatigue and lack of sleep over the past few days made him look like he was ten years older, but he simply ate some snacks and took people to Dali Village.

Man Bao was stunned when he saw the magistrate, and almost thought it was the magistrate's father. If he hadn't been wearing the magistrate's official uniform, Man Bao would have called him grandpa.

Man Bao and Keke sighed and said: "Our county magistrate doesn't seem to be very bad, although he always charges us the city fee."

Koko didn't answer.

Man Bao was also used to it, and went forward with his friends to watch.

The county magistrate Fu came to investigate the disaster situation. This was the first time he had visited Qili Village, while Dali Village had been there three times.

Because the chief of Qili Village was in Dali Village, the two villages were bordered, and the fields were mixed together, so he wanted to come down to persuade Nongsang, and the magistrate Fu only went to Dali Village.

The reason why he came to Qili Village this time was for Master Bai, to check the disaster situation, and to see Zhou Man and Bai Shan.

Especially after Zhou Man and his second daughter made such a suggestion.

In this flood, three houses in Qili Village collapsed and twelve houses were damaged. All of them were built or repaired under the arrangement of the village chief, and the villagers helped each other.

The disaster situation is not very serious, but these affected families, especially the three families whose houses collapsed, have a very difficult life.

No way, when the house collapsed, many things were damaged, and the grain was damp.
