"Go to the nearby villages and see if the grain stored in the people's homes and the seeds for the coming year are still enough. If not, take the money and go to Linxian County to buy some and distribute them to the people for free."
"Hey!" Qin Feng suddenly sighed and said with a depressed look: "You can't do the delicate work of subsidizing the people. Just go buy grain seeds. I will handle the matter personally when you come back."
Speaking of this, Qin Feng slumped on the chair with his arms and legs spread out, crying and saying: "I just came to Beixi County to save my mother, but why did I get entangled in this mess for no reason? It's really unlucky."
Seeing that Qin Feng was disheveled, arrogant and without any official temperament, Ning Hu's eyes were hot: "Brother Qin, it's not that the mess has entangled you, but that you can't see the people suffering. Who makes you a good person? ?”
When he heard the word 'good person', Qin Feng quit and yelled: "You are the good person, and your whole family is a good person!"
Being a good person costs money.
Qin Feng has no interest in taking this good man as whoever he likes.
Ning Hu laughed and ran out of the county office.
Qin Feng originally planned to take this opportunity to go back to the backyard to accompany Qin Cheng and Li Xiaolan to reminisce about the past. After all, after returning from Daze Mountain, Qin Feng was trapped in the county government lobby and had no time to go back to the backyard.
As a result, as soon as Qin Feng got up, Ning Hu came back with a dark face, as if he had stepped on dog shit when he went out.
Qin Feng couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you back again?"
Ning Hu punched the wooden sign of 'Silence' next to him, and with an annoyed look on his face, he shouted: "Brother Qin, you don't have to worry about the mess in Beixi County."
Hearing this, Qin Feng was stunned again: "What do you mean?"
Ning Hu's face was extremely gloomy and he gritted his teeth: "From now on, all the mess in Beixi County will be yours! You have been named the magistrate of Beixi County."
Qin Feng almost fell off the chair, jumped over on the desk, grabbed Ning Hu's shoulders, and exclaimed: "Don't fucking kid me, I'm a coward and I can't stand being frightened."
Ning Hu pointed at the gate of the county government office: "Who is kidding you? Look!"
Following Ning Hu's instructions, Qin Feng's heart was already cold. The messenger at the post station walked in with two letters in his hand and handed them to Qin Feng with a smile on his face: "Master Qin, congratulations. .”
Congratulations grandma!
Qin Feng grabbed the letter. The first one was to deal with Chen Li. As expected, he was sentenced to death and sent to the state capital for execution.
This second letter praised Qin Feng's great achievements in Beixi County, and then conferred Qin Feng as the magistrate of Beixi County as a reward.
Qin Feng tore the letter into pieces in front of the messenger, and stamped his feet angrily: "These old bastards are really awesome! I just arrived in Beixi County, and they cut off my return to Beijing. What happened? Who did it! Li Xu, the Minister of Household Affairs? Gao Ming, the Grand Lieutenant? The Second Prince?"
Qin Feng was so angry that he wished he could take the guards and rush back now to kill those old immortals.
The messenger who was waiting for the reward was confused: "Master Qin... cough, Master Qin, now that you have an official status, why are you so unhappy and angry?"
Before Qin Feng could respond, Ning Hu scolded him with a cold face: "If it's Jing Zhaoyin, or the county magistrate around Kyoto, that's it. A ghostly place like Beixi County, once it takes root, , it won’t take long for Kyoto to forget it, it could be as short as three to five years, or as long as thirty or fifty years. For the children of Kyoto, being appointed as an official in such a stupid place is not as easy as cutting it off with a knife. "
"Besides, Mr. Qin is devoted to business and is most taboo about becoming an official. Whether it's the Minister of Household Affairs or the Grand Lieutenant Gao, these old foxes are dedicated to stabbing Mr. Qin in the heart!"
Qin Feng sighed secretly in his heart.
Before that, I was only worried about a fire in the backyard, but I didn't expect those old foxes to do the opposite and trap Qin Feng to death in Beixi County with a small county magistrate.
What is the difference between this and that time when my mother Qin Cheng was demoted to Beixi County to observe mourning?
This method is so fun!
If I remember correctly, the imperial concubine is the best at this!
Could it be that Li Xu or Gao Ming received guidance from the imperial concubine?
Or... the imperial concubine was worried that the saint would summon the Qin Cheng family to the capital after this incident, so she took action first to eliminate this possibility from the source?
Why!
Qin Feng sighed again. The insidiousness in the court was really beyond expectation. If you were not careful, you might be trapped.
This time, Qin Feng was careless.
learn from mistakes.
Now that the deal is done, it is useless for Qin Feng to be depressed. He can only accept his fate. He took out two taels of silver from his waist and handed it to the messenger: "Thank you."
The messengers had long been frightened out of their wits.
Seeing Qin Feng and Ning Hu cursing the dignitary Shangshu Ling and Taiwei in public, the messengers had never seen such a battle before, and felt chills running down their spines.
Looking at the silver in front of him, the messenger shook his head like a rattle: "Master Qin, you're welcome. This is what a young man should do."
Qin Feng sighed lightly and signaled to the ordering soldiers not to be afraid: "Take it, this is the rule. After all, you have worked hard for traveling thousands of miles."
Hearing this, the messenger became more courageous. He quickly took the money with both hands and said gratefully: "Thank you, sir. I'm retreating."
Ning Hu was still angry and said with an annoyed face: "Brother Qin, do you still want to buy these grains and seeds?"
Qin Feng originally planned to mend the holes in Beixi County before leaving, so that when the next county magistrate comes, the dog cannot change its habit of eating shit and continue to harm the people. Who would have thought that Qin Feng would become the county magistrate by accident. In this case, this money must be considered in the long term.
Qin Feng lowered his head and thought for a while, then took the banknote and said, "In this case, you first go to summon the heads of the townships and count the head count in Beixi County. You still have to buy food, but you have to be careful."
After Ning Hu left, Qin Feng looked at the dilapidated county government office and thought that this project was too big. In addition to appeasing the local people and managing people's livelihood, the county government office also needed to be repaired. Of course, the biggest headache was still the county government team. , Qin Feng alone cannot govern such a large county even if he is exhausted.
Qin Feng immediately recruited a few guards, and did not use them to do detailed work. Instead, they sent messages and moved reinforcements.
"Ask the post station to send the letter back to the Qin Mansion as soon as possible, and ask Lin Quqi to come over quickly. By the way, Qin Xiaofu and Xiao Xiangxiang will also be brought with them."
While talking, Qin Feng pulled out a five hundred tael silver note and handed it to the guard along with the letter: "Five hundred taels of silver, reward the post station. Don't treat them badly when they have to contribute in the future. Then tell the post station that every year from now on Receive five hundred taels of silver as miscellaneous funds from the county, prepare more horses, and train more messengers."
