Daming Junior Scholar

Killing a colleague will definitely cause some troubles. Although He Jiaan is not afraid of these troubles, it will eventually hinder his idea of ​​building a navy.

But to kill a criminal book, I don't have any psychological burden on myself, especially when the evidence is solid, I will naturally not be generous enough to let such a wicked person go easily.

Such a big thing happened in Paju City, gossips are naturally flying all over the sky, I don't know who is telling the truth and who is telling the truth, anyway, the minds of the people in the city have started to move for a while, and they don't know How will the new Prefect He handle this matter.

At this moment, several bright red notices suddenly appeared around Paju City, and there were also literate scholars standing under the notices to explain to everyone that the new Mr. He had already solved the long-standing case of compensation for the shortage of silver. , At noon the day after tomorrow, in the lobby of the government office, all the missing silver will be replenished to everyone.

As soon as this notice was posted, the news spread throughout Paju as if it had grown wings. It is not that Paju has not been involved in the corruption case, but it has never been resolved so quickly, and the money has been distributed to everyone so quickly. At that time, the new Zhifu He was really a master of Qingtian.

As soon as the day written on the notice arrived, the gate of the government office outside was surrounded by people with three floors inside and three floors outside. Although there were some dubious people like Wu Zhi who were ready to collect the money, of course there were more of them. They all came to watch the fun, and looked into the government office one by one. Although they couldn't see anything, they couldn't extinguish the burning heart of gossip in everyone's heart.

Early in the morning, He Jiaan was woken up again by Tang Lin's voice, and he didn't know what was going on. Ever since he came to Paju, his whole spirit was always a little sluggish, even after sleeping for a long time every day, he still felt Some didn't get enough sleep.

After being disturbed by Tang Lin again today, He Jiaan got up helplessly from the bed, put on his clothes, and left the room with sleepy eyes staring at Tang Lin, who looked anxious. What's the matter? Didn't you say don't call me if there's nothing urgent? "

"Sir, this time is really urgent." Tang Lin stretched out his hand and said, "Our government office is surrounded by ordinary people again."

"Eh?" He Jiaan finally lifted his spirits after hearing this news, blinked his eyes and asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that the money was only distributed at noon? Why are they all here at this time?"

"I don't know either, sir, why don't you go out and have a look?"

He Jiaan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and have a look."

While talking, the two of them left the yard, and arrived at the gate of the government office in a short time. When He Jiaan's figure appeared at the gate of the government office, the enthusiasm of the spectators was immediately ignited, but it was because of the He Jiaan's identity didn't dare to rush forward, so he could only stare at He Jiaan with fiery eyes.

Sure enough, Tang Lin was right. There were indeed a lot of people at the door, but it was still several hours before noon. What were they going to do?

Just when He Jiaan was looking at the crowd blankly, a person came out of the crowd cautiously, and shouted to He Jiaan from a distance: "Master He, it's me."

He Jiaan looked up and quickly recognized who this person was. He waved his hand and said, "Old man Wu, didn't I tell you that the money will be replenished at noon? Why did you come so early?"

Wu Zhi smiled awkwardly, and said somewhat unnaturally: "I know that the money will be paid out at noon, but I can't do anything at home, so I just come here and wait, isn't it just a few hours? It's over."

What kind of joke is this, I don’t want to stay at home, but ran to the sun to bask, He Jiaan shook his head helplessly, pointed at so many people and asked: "Could it be that these people are all from your village?"

Wu Zhi quickly shook his head and explained: "How can there be so many? There are only a few dozen households in the village. These are all here to watch the excitement."

After doing this for a long time, most of the people were watching the fun. He Jiaan was planning to go back to rest for a while, but suddenly something came to his mind, so he turned around and ordered Tang Lin to move out a chair, and sat down at the door of the mansion. .

Probably, the people in Pazhou have never seen such a scene. The magistrate is sitting at the gate of this mansion like an ordinary person. When everyone is discussing, He Jiaan suddenly said loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet first. , I have a few words that I want to tell you.”

He Jiaan's words were really effective, and the crowd quickly fell silent, all looked at him curiously, guessing what news they would hear from his mouth.

When the crowd was completely silent, He Jiaan said loudly: "Everyone should know who I am, right?"

"know."

"My lord."

A bold man shouted from the crowd.

He Jiaan smiled and said: "It seems that everyone already knows me, but besides being your prefect, I have a more important thing to do when I come to Paju. Do you want to know?"

In the eyes of ordinary people, the magistrate is already a top-ranking official. Why does Mr. He have other things to do besides the magistrate?

Someone suddenly reacted and asked curiously: "Master He is talking about the shipbuilding?"

"Smart." He Jiaan said with a smile: "Since everyone has already guessed that I want to build a warship, you can also guess what the ship is for?"

"Fight Japanese pirates."

"Yes, kill these turtle grandsons and always sneak ashore. If we have a warship, we will drive them all into the sea."

"This old man is right, but I have encountered some troubles. There is a prototype of this ship, but I don't understand the specific structure inside. I want to chat with you, have any of us built it?" The craftsman of the big ship? As long as he can help me build this warship, I will reward him with 1 taels of silver."

1 million taels?

As soon as they heard this number, the crowd exploded immediately. You must know that in this year when the per capita monthly income was only two to three years, the 1 taels not only represented not only enough to eat and drink for themselves, but also enough for their offspring. Enjoy the happiness.

But then again, if you want to get the 1 taels of silver, you have to help Mr. He build a warship. Qianshi's warship, relying on his own craftsmanship, should be honestly hiding in the crowd.

He Jiaan asked several times in a row, but no one in the crowd was willing to stand up. Just when He Jiaan was extremely disappointed and was about to go back to the government office, Wu Zhi who was at the side suddenly said, "Master He, I have someone to choose."

"Oh?" He Jia'an was overjoyed immediately, and quickly asked, "Old Man Wu, tell me quickly."

"Actually, I'm not sure if this person is still alive. If he is still alive, I'm afraid he will be over 80 years old this year."

When He Jiaan heard about this age, He Jiaan's heart was half cold. You must know that in this era with an average age of more than 40 years, it is rare to live to 80, let alone this is an [-]-year-old man.

However, I still refused to let go of any clues, and hurriedly asked: "Old man, continue talking."

"This great craftsman's surname is Chen. I heard that his family's ancestors built ships for the Sanbao eunuch..."

Chapter 1189 Sin Plus One Class

Until two or three days later, the vigorous action of the government office was still the most talked about topic in Pazhou people. Many people watched the scene where tens of thousands of taels of silver were piled up together. It was the only chance in their life to see so much silver.

The public anger has been quelled, and the corrupt officials have been arrested. What makes the common people talk about is the easy-going and approachable of the new prefect, He Jiaan. He actually chatted with these common people for nearly two hours under the sun, and what he asked Those words are not as far-fetched as the prefects before, they are all about the daily life of the people, how many children does a family have, whether they go to school, how much money they can earn in a month, whether it is enough for the family's daily expenses, etc. Asked a lot of things.

Whether they were asked or not, on the way back there was an inexplicable sense of excitement on their faces. Maybe it was because Paju finally came to a very powerful magistrate. In the future, Paju people might really Had a good day.

After getting back the money compensated by the government so quickly, Wu Zhi's family couldn't believe their eyes. Looking at the ingots of big ingots on the table, Wu Zhi's son and daughter-in-law's eyes were shining, and finally Wu Zhi Wu Shaojie, his son, said: "Father, it is all thanks to Mr. He that we can get the silver back this time. Why don't we find a way to thank him."

"Hmph, just doing those useless things." When Wu Zhi heard his son's words, his face drooped for a long time, he glared at him and then snorted: "How can you compare Mr. He with those corrupt officials before? Mr. He is a good official who really cares about the common people."

"Good official? Cut." Wu Shaojie snorted dissatisfied, then turned his back and said, "I think you were deceived by some good words for a while, so I don't believe you took the money to give to Mr. He." Send it, what if he doesn’t accept it.”

Perhaps it was because I had seen many corrupt officials like this in the first half of my life. When Wu Zhi heard his son's words, Wu Zhi's will was not as firm as before. He looked at the money on the table and hesitated for a moment. Some distressedly asked: "Son, how much do you think we should give Mr. He?"

"This..." Wu Shaojie pinched his chin and thought about it for a while, then hesitated and said, "It must be 20 taels anyway."

"What, 20 taels?" Hearing his son's words, Wu Zhi's heart felt as if he had been stabbed. He only got back a total of more than 50 taels of silver, and he gave away almost half of it in one go.

The daughter-in-law on one side also persuaded: "Father, we can't be stingy with this money. If 20 taels of silver can get you in touch with Mr. He, this money is not enough. Go out and ask the people in Pazhou, who is reluctant?" This 20 taels of silver means that the relationship between you and Mr. He is considered close, if you change someone else, there is no one worth 80 taels, so how can Mr. He take it seriously."

Hearing what his son and daughter-in-law said, Wu Zhi's originally firm thoughts were finally shaken, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you one time, but how should I give this money to Mr. He?"

"This is easy." Wu Shaojie smiled and reminded: "Didn't Mr. He say that you will always take him to display Mr. Chen the day after tomorrow? Then you can find an opportunity to secretly give him the money. That's it. "

"Okay, let's do that."

Taking advantage of these few days, He Jiaan first made arrangements for the construction of the artillery factory, and even Li Fu, who was sick when he arrived in Paju, rarely appeared in front of everyone, although he was still a little indifferent to He Jiaan. Indifferent, but after all, I still asked him about the factory, after all, I still have to tell everything here to the Long Live Lord of the capital.

There was still a long time before the completion of the factory, and Li Fu was too lazy to stay here, but when he saw He Jiaan and his party leaving the government office in a carriage, he finally asked someone curiously, "Where did Mr. He go?"

The people on the side quickly said: "Go back to Eunuch, I heard that Mr. He is looking for a master craftsman who can build warships."
