Ding Tian's Ancient Life

The imperial court implemented the system of "being an official from a different place". They traveled thousands of miles from a wealthy county to a barren place here, for what purpose?

Isn't it just for a few taels of silver?

Familiarity with the officialdom system is useless, you have to mingle with the locals.

Otherwise, it will be difficult for your local government orders to flow unimpeded.

However, the master has not yet invited the three village chiefs to the county office to sit and chat. During the Dragon Boat Festival, he did not see the three village chiefs come to give the master gifts. They were all from the village chiefs.

It is said that the head of the village is too old to travel long distances, so let the young village head come over and give the master some gifts, which can be regarded as a little comfort from the villagers for the hard work of the master.

As for the master, he didn't even mention it, even if it was a verbal mention, or when it was hot in midsummer, he would give the three elders something to clear away the heat...even a box of mung bean cakes.

But the master doesn't have any, he just doesn't care about those people, he indulges in the house fight in the backyard every day, comforting his beautiful wife and concubine, and by the way, flirting with the beautiful house girl.

In the back house, the sound of luan and swallows all day long, and the gentle fragrance of soft jade... If it weren't for the generous money, the two masters really wanted to give up their picks and quit.

Are they the county magistrate, or is your lord the county magistrate?

Taking the salary of the master, doing the job of the county magistrate.

"Okay, call him here, Mr. Ma is dejected, and giving money to others makes him feel uncomfortable like cutting his flesh, but this flesh has to be cut too.

Soon, Master Xu came, and after hearing the words of the master and the two masters, he really couldn't help laughing: "My lord, the two masters, don't you look at where this place is?" ? This is Niujiao County, Niujiao County, which was rebuilt after the war. This is a place registered in the household department and in front of the emperor!"

The faces of the three of them changed, and they really didn't think so much.

"What's more, Mr. Du in front, he didn't go away. He is the magistrate of Rongsheng, Beifeng Mansion, and your immediate boss, sir. He once defended Niujiao County as a civil servant for the sake of Niujiao County. After being breached by the enemy, he, like the general guard, never retreats! He personally went to the battlefield with a big knife, and to this day, he still has the scars left by the battle on his chest. At least half of the local young and strong are from him. Those who have fought side by side, if you extort money here, those young men who have gone to the battlefield and killed people will swallow it?" Master Xu sneered without giving any face: "When the time comes, don't make a fuss and force the people. opposite……."

"Nonsense!" Lord Ma was furious at being said: "I am only concerned about the county's taxes. After all, after fighting for three years, I was exempted from taxes for another three years. I paid taxes in the first year after the war. The official wants to give an explanation to the imperial court and the emperor. What officials force the people to rebel? I will see who dares to rebel! The army is stationed at the north gate, whoever dares to try!" Master Xu put on a serious face and stopped talking.

But I muttered in my heart: return the army outside the city?

You didn't send half an egg to the military camp outside the city during the Dragon Boat Festival, and you returned it to the army outside the city?I'm afraid you don't even know where the barracks gate opens?

The two masters are also not very comfortable. They seem to be greedy when they say this. Even if it is true, there is no need to say it to embarrass everyone, right?

Fortunately, their master let him be the chief bookkeeper.

How can you be so ungrateful?

In fact, if Master Xu doesn't know how to be grateful, then no one really knows how to be grateful.

It is precisely because Mr. Xu knows some of the situation here that he doesn't want Mr. Ma to be stupid.

The folk customs here are tough, and the people's sentiments are also special. As a newcomer, you dare to reach out for taxes. Isn't this making yourself uncomfortable?

What kind of person is Master Du?

That is a person who can find a shortcut to the sky in the dead land. The people of Niujiao County gave him an unprecedented "Wanmin Umbrella". If you leave after your term of office, the local people will not give you anything. you!

And based on his guess, this matter must have been heard by Datian. Mr. Du is a man who has a reputation in the court. Can he not love the people of Niujiao County?

The people of Niujiao County, if they can produce the "Wanmin Umbrella", they can produce something like the "Wanmin Book" to sue you, the county magistrate, for oppressing goodness.

When the time comes, see what you do!
