Liang Shixian was fooled into thinking by the meeting gift designed by Thirty-Two.
After being frightened by this, I suddenly felt that I was not worthy of meeting the master of this family because I was a seventh-grade county magistrate.
The status is not on the same level.
If he hadn't been shouldering the heavy responsibility, he would have backed down and not gone any further, but thinking about the victims he saw along the way, living in deep water and misery, he had to hold on to his strength.
People from far away look at the clear sea like a sea of suffering.
Only I can save them now.
Can't back down, go ahead!
He straightened his official hat, smoothed the wrinkles on his official uniform, straightened his belt, and straightened his walking pace. He turned around and said to the division's Yamen servants and helpers: "You guys are waiting here, don't move rashly."
Then he followed Thirty-Two and climbed up the stairs to the highest floor of the watchtower.
Entering the hall, he saw a dignified young woman, wearing a gorgeous white dress, sitting on a chair with a solemn look on her face.
In fact, Gao Yiye was panicking now. She was just a village girl from Yitong. To her, the county magistrate was simply a huge official. She couldn't even imagine that one day she would face the county magistrate. Master Ling, he was still sitting upright and motionless.
Fortunately she has practiced!
The more dignified I look, the more respect everyone has for Tianzun. She can only keep saying this to herself in order to remain dignified and hold on to her expression.
When Liang Shixian looked at this woman, he thought to himself: This woman doesn't take seriously my official uniform. The seventh-grade county magistrate is really too low for her, right? As a lady from a thousand-year-old family, she has probably seen countless dignitaries.
I feel a little panicked!
I have to hold firm and not lose my momentum, otherwise things will definitely fail.
The two of them were so tense with each other that they sat down far away from each other in the hall.
Thirty-Two pretended to introduce: "This is our master's eldest wife. This is the newly appointed Magistrate of Chengcheng County, Mr. Liang Shixian Liang."
Gao Yiye didn't dare to speak, but nodded slightly: "Yeah!"
Liang Shixian thought to himself: What a big arrogance, okay, I'll be done with it. "
Thirty-two: "My Lord, I wonder if you have come all the way, what do you think?
Liang Shixian was not in the mood to talk nonsense and said bluntly: "When I first arrived in Chengcheng County, I heard that there was a banditry in this county. Fortunately, the patrol inspector Cheng Xu fought hard and finally beheaded Wang Er and put down the chaos. Thief, but after this battle, the vitality of Chengcheng County was severely damaged, and victims were everywhere... I just walked all the way, and saw only ten houses and nine empty houses, people's livelihood was in ruins, and the people were miserable. I felt really... really It’s…sigh…”
At the end of the sentence, there were tears in the corners of his eyes.
Li Daoxuan used an ultra-clear camera to lock him through the window, zoomed in on the screen of his mobile phone, and saw the tears in the corners of his eyes. He couldn't help but think to himself: "Is this guy a corrupt official who is acting, or is he a real person who is doing nothing?" Where are the good officials who make the people cry? We still can’t see it yet.”
Liang Shixian sighed and changed his tone: "My rash visit this time is really a helpless move. Chengcheng County's tax this year has not been paid in full, but Wang Er and others took away the official grain inventory. Even if I am a clever woman, it is difficult for me to make a living without rice. After thinking about it, if I want to save the victims in this county, I can only ask the local squire for help..."
As soon as he said this, Thirty-two, who had been in the Yamen for a long time, immediately understood: sharing!
The matter of apportionment has been around since ancient times.
But all of this is to make the rich pay less taxes, so they allocate taxes to the poor.
Unexpectedly, Liang Shixian actually did the opposite and wanted to assign the taxes that the poor could not pay to the rich.
This is called [retrograde behavior].
Huh?
wrong!
This should be called "bringing order to chaos".
Thirty-two moments of chaos in the wind.
Li Daoxuan outside the box couldn't help but be stunned. He really didn't expect that there would be officials who operated in such a reverse direction.
When Liang Shixian saw Thirty-Two's shocked expression, he knew that he had scared people again. Well, he often scared people, just because he often did not stand on the same side as "his own people".
He came to Shaanxi to serve as an official, and it was precisely because he offended eunuch officials in the officialdom that he was "assigned" to be a county magistrate in this almost "dead end" place.
The lottery wants him dead.
I want to kill him with the emperor's hand.
But he still wanted to struggle.
Liang Shixian waved his hand and pointed out the window: "Madam, your Li family is so rich and has the money to build such a luxurious castle. Even your tenants are fat and fat, and even God is helping you. Why? It rains on your small piece of land, and you are so blessed by heaven, so you should shoulder a heavier responsibility. Nowadays, the people in Chengcheng County are suffering and the people are in dire straits. To ask them to pay taxes at this time is tantamount to asking them to pay taxes. To save their lives, you, the Li family, might as well use some money to pay taxes on behalf of the people, help them overcome this difficulty, perform this great charity, and save money for future generations.
Fu, how about it? "
Thirty-Two Confused, usually a smart person, but when he meets a guy like Liang Shixian who goes against the grain, he will be confused as well.
But Li Daoxuan spoke: "Reject him!"
Gao Yiye looked at Thirty-Two and shook his head slowly.
Thirty-Two woke up suddenly, and Tianzun's instructions came, but this time he didn't understand a little: Tianzun is usually kind and generous, constantly giving all kinds of materials to save people, and always responds to every request, but this time, he didn't It is really strange that he is willing to pay taxes on behalf of the people. "
After two reverse operations in a row, Thirty-Two was completely gone.
He said to Liang Shixian with a stiff expression: "Master Liang, please forgive us that our Li family cannot agree to your request."
Being rejected, Liang Shixian was not surprised. How could it be so easy to ask for money? Thirty-two's reaction was as expected. He immediately added: "I know that this matter is indeed not that easy, but the Li family also You might as well think about it, if the common people cannot survive, they will definitely rebel.
Once they rebel and form groups to burn, kill and loot, are your Li family really not afraid of being overrun by the mob? During my journey along the way, I have seen several wealthy families' compounds burned down. "
At this point, his tone became a little gloomy: "Your Li family is so rich and can easily become the target of attacks by the mob. Are you really not afraid that you will become the next family to be burned down? In this troubled year, why not take some money out? To appease the people, use money to eliminate disasters.”
In fact, what he said made Thirty-two feel very reasonable.
Not long ago, he also urged Zhang Yaocai not to press taxes.
But just now Tianzun...
Thirty-two began to hesitate.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan spoke again: "Tell him, it's not okay to pay taxes on his behalf. Our money can't even be handed over to the hands of corrupt officials, but we are willing to use food to relieve the victims. Every grain of food , will all fall into the bellies of the victims."
