County Magistrate Chen has really lost weight in the past two days, he is dark and thin.
Seeing Xu He arriving, he unexpectedly picked up the teapot and poured him a cup of tea.
Xu He immediately became vigilant when he saw this.
Although Lao Chen is a nice person, he has always acted like a county magistrate. Even in front of Xu Song, he behaved neither humble nor overbearing.
Nowadays, when you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something!
"Liang Sheng, the first time we met, the county was not very familiar with you, and there was some unpleasantness at that time. But after that, we shared the joys and sorrows in Tuancha, and we did something that benefited the country. A major event for the people!" Magistrate Chen began to recall the glorious past.
Xu He stood up and saluted: "The eldest master is the Binzan who helped me with the crowning ceremony together with my teacher. It can be said that you are the few closest people to me in this world, except for my family and parents. What can I say? , just say it!"
When Chen Hua heard this, he was a little touched by Xu He's attitude: "Oh, it's me too..."
He didn't say anything specific, but at least he felt that the groundwork was in place, so he said, "The number of refugees outside the city has increased in the past few days, and I'm very busy!"
Xu He heard this and asked tentatively: "Master Chen, do you want me to persuade my uncle to open a porridge restaurant?"
Chen Hua waved his hand: "With Xiao Shigong's character, he definitely doesn't need to be invited by the county to do this kind of thing!"
Xu He's heart skipped a beat: "That's it?"
Chen Huahei said with a rare embarrassed look on his face: "After the two Huaihe Salt Divisions were restructured, they were just in operation, and the Huaizhong Ten Divisions were still recovering. At this time, a big disaster suddenly occurred. This is not a disaster." Our lives are at stake! What the above means is that salt households will be assigned to prefectures and counties in various states to be resettled nearby. Of course, this is only temporary!"
Xu He asked before he finished speaking: "How many performances will we have in Hailing?"
"Dongtai, Liangduo, Anfeng, Kuancha!"
Xu He immediately made a calculation in his mind.
There are four salt fields. Even the smallest one has more than 3,000 salt households.
On average, this is a resettlement problem for 50,000 to 60,000 people.
"What do you want me to do, sir?"
Chen Huadao: "Because of what happened last time, you have a good reputation in Huaizhong Ten Fields. I want you to help appease the people living in the salt farm and let them stay in the field with peace of mind. Don't all come to Hailing to escape!"
When Xu He heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly: "Sir, are you making fun of me? You can't do this!"
Chen Hua also knew that this was a bit overwhelming, so he explained: "Don't worry, the court is not ignoring the kitchen servants, but so many people have flocked to Hailing County. First, the large number of people makes it easy for the epidemic to spread, and second, the number of people picking quarrels and causing trouble increases. The third class in the yamen has been complaining a lot these days, what will we do if there are so many people here again!"
Xu He nodded and said: "Mr. Chen, I know all the difficulties, but if you ask me to just say it with empty words, the kitchen servants are not fools!"
Chen Hua said with an expression as if he had known what you were going to say: "Don't worry, the imperial court has ordered that the retained summer grain does not have to be transported to Beijing, and all counties have to be allocated for disaster relief. Once the grain from our county arrives, I will send it to you." go."
"Your mission is to appease everyone for the time being!"
Xu He was not enthusiastic about such an errand. First, it involved the resettlement of tens of thousands of people. Even if he represented the county government, it was the territory of the Salt Division, and Chen Hua's brand might not be effective.
Secondly, I am not a universal glue, so I can try anything on myself.
Moreover, in the salt field, I was only familiar with Old Zhengtou.
In the face of a major disaster, Old Zhengtou may be able to persuade the cooks who make tea to calm down. You can ask him to try the other three games. Everyone is hungry because of a guy who is eating. He, Old Zhengtou, How many bowls of soup can this old bone carry?
Chen Hua saw Xu He's reluctant look and said quickly: "Don't worry, as soon as the food in our county arrives, it will be transferred to it immediately. Moreover, before you set off, I will allocate some from the county warehouse. After all, we have food." , you are the one who speaks forcefully, right?"
Xu He smiled bitterly and said: "Master Chen, there are so many people in the county government office, can't you send someone to go there?"
Hearing this, Chen Hua sighed and said, "Xiaohe, let me explain to you. I won't trust you to leave this matter to them!"
After saying that, he looked out the window, and then whispered: "There was a flood. When I went to the Yongfeng warehouse in the county, I found that 40% of the 10% of the grain was mixed with chaff."
The county's disaster prevention grain depot was actually tampered with!
Xu He was surprised and angry at first, but after thinking about it, this thing is reasonable. In a county, there are only a few people who receive the salary of national civil servants. Others are making a living for themselves. If they don't do anything about it, they will have their own agenda. What?
In some places, subordinate staff sidelined officials to make money; in other places, subordinate staff colluded with officials to make money.
Of course, there are also strong men who can overwhelm the subordinates, such as Hai Rui from that time and space.
But after three years of relocation, everyone tried their best to get you away, but the fate of the local subordinates still belongs to you!
However, this kind of thing is reasonable, but not excusable.
Corruption should never be taken for granted in any era.
This only shows that there is something wrong with the system.
Speaking of this, Chen Hua looked at Xu He seriously: "You know why I didn't let you go back to the government office? Because I have already guessed that this time the court will definitely dump the salt farm to the prefectures and counties, and you are mine Prepare!"
"I'm so jealous!" Xu He said with a bitter smile, "Sir, Yongfeng warehouse is already in this situation, and the county may not even have enough. I will take away some of the food. What will you do then?"
A stern look flashed across Chen Huahei's face: "I have sent the warehouse ambassador to the county jail and gave him five days to replenish the 40% of the grain. Even I don't care whether he uses old grain or new grain, as long as he replenishes it. Just do it together, if you can't do it, then don't blame me for being unkind!"
Speaking of this, he was already filled with murderous intent!
Xu He knew that when it came to this, if he refused, he would be disrespectful to the county magistrate.
After thinking about it, Xu He felt that he still couldn't agree easily, so he asked: "Master Chen, please give me some clues first. I'll go to the salt field and you let me appease everyone for a few days!"
Chen Hua gritted his teeth: "Ten days!"
Fuck you, ten days, Chen Hua, you really dare to say that.
Xu He almost cursed when he heard this.
Even if Xu He took away all the Yongfeng warehouse, it wouldn't be enough for four salt farms to survive for three days.
What's more, the food in the warehouse is only 60% now, and it still has to be fed to the refugees in Hailing County.
"I'm not going!" Xu He stood up and left without hesitation!
When Chen Hua saw this, he knew that he was pushing too hard, so he quickly grabbed him and said, "You kid, I'm just asking you to do this. Why do you want to leave if you don't agree with me? You just said that Mr. Li and I are you." Apart from parents and relatives, the closest people in this world!"
Xu He glared at Old Chen and said: "Mr. Chen, we are familiar with each other, but you don't have to trap acquaintances. In ten days, you might as well kill me to save the kitchen men from taking action!"
"Six days!"
"Three days!"
"Five days!"
"Three days!"
The asking price is high, and the money is paid back on arrival.
When Chen Hua saw that the boy was not on his way, he could only say harshly: "Three days is all. If you can help me comfort him for three days, I will give you credit!"
Xu He almost cursed his mother, asking for credit? forget it! Quan should be returning the favor!
