"Sir, are you back?"
In the inn, when the Jin Yiwei saw the adults coming back, they all stepped forward to greet them.
Several Jin Yiwei who were responsible for going out to inquire quickly told Baihu about their inquiries.
Basically, the situation is almost the same as that of the adults from hundreds of households. Now the people in the county are basically praising their magistrate.
Li Jin seemed to have gone from a corrupt official who colluded with businessmen and only raised food prices overnight to a well-loved and good man in the world.
After hearing this, the Jinyiwei Baihu slowly pondered, but the Jinyiwei on the side became anxious:
"Sir, do we still want to arrest Li Jin?"
"The date set by Commander Mao is coming soon, and there is still no progress on our side."
"If we are ultimately blamed by Mao's command or even the emperor, we cannot afford it."
"Let me tell you, let's just arrest Li Jin and leave. After all, the imperial edict comes from the emperor. The content of the imperial edict is to arrest Li Jin, regardless of whether Li Jin is good or bad."
"Sir, can you come up with an idea quickly?"
Everyone was talking about their thoughts, but Jinyiwei Baihu frowned slightly. It wasn't until everyone finished speaking that Jinyiwei Baihu slowly said:
"I have decided not to arrest Li Jin yet!"
"ah?!"
The Jinyi guards were immediately shocked, and someone hurriedly asked:
"Sir, it is the emperor's order to arrest Li Jin. If we give up arresting Li Jin, wouldn't we be disobeying the order?"
"When that time comes, do you think the Emperor will forgive us?"
Baihu glanced at the man and said:
"Now Hepu County has a harmonious government, the victims are able to survive because of Li Jin, and the people can barely live because of Li Jin's actions."
"If Li Jin is captured at this time, Hepu County will probably be in chaos immediately, and it will not be as simple as just a few hundred people starving to death."
"Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince is by Li Jin's side now. Do you think that under such circumstances, His Highness the Crown Prince will watch us take Li Jin away?"
The Jin Yiwei were suddenly speechless, but their fear of Zhu Yuanzhang still put them in a dilemma, and they were constantly worried and said:
"But sir, if we fail to complete the task, this board will hit us."
"We are just a small royal guard. We can't afford this kind of thing, right?"
But Baihu was confident and said:
"I have a solution."
"Let us first report the facts here to the emperor and explain the reason why we have not arrested Li Jin, and then quietly wait for the emperor's final decision."
"If the emperor still wants to arrest Li Jin, then we will arrest Li Jin when the time comes."
"But before that, let's get in touch with His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Let His Majesty the Crown Prince share the Emperor's imperial edict in private, so that if anything happens in the future, someone will speak for us in court."
"Your Excellency is thoughtful and I can't wait."
After the Jinyiwei heard Baihu's method, they all thought it was a good idea, and they all raised their hands in agreement.
Then the hundred households of the Jinyiwei personally drafted the memorial, and then ordered their men to go to Fucheng to look for traces of the prince, and then secretly contacted His Highness the prince.
...
South of Hepu County.
Zhu Biao was in the soup kitchen shack at this time, personally checking whether the soup kitchen shack was up to standard.
With his dark face and slightly thin figure, it can be seen that Zhu Biao was indeed working very hard in Hepu County these days.
Under Li Jin's various measures, Hepu County did stabilize as quickly as possible.
The victims of the disaster have received good relief, and because of the drop in food prices, the people can barely afford their daily rations. Some who really can't survive go to work-for-relief construction sites and work for a few days.
However, behind all these measures, Zhu Biao's supervision is inseparable.
In short, Li Jin is the boss. After the policy is stated, Zhu Biao is the one who implements it.
Therefore, Li Jin was in the government office every day, enjoying the snow, moon and wind, while Zhu Biao was working hard among the people.
Although it was very painful and tiring, and Zhu Biao lost weight quickly, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Li Jin's various measures were remembered by Zhu Biao and implemented seriously.
During the implementation process, we continue to think and improve, adapt to local conditions, and change policies that are most suitable for local people.
These valuable experiences will be important indicators in Zhu Biao's governance in the future.
Then, just as Zhu Biao was immersed in the joy of relieving the people, Jin Yiwei suddenly came to the door.
