The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Chapter 170 This world is ridiculous

Although Governor Wei had never met Lin Tailai, he had actually recognized Lin Tailai just now.

Without it, Lin Daguan, the number one hero in Suzhou City, would be too eye-catching even if he stood in the crowd and acted as a backdrop.

It's just that Governor Wei has been pretending to ignore it. The reason is very simple. There is no need to face him face to face. It will only lower his own level.

According to normal power logic, when the governor wants to deal with someone in the local area, he only needs to find an excuse to mention the county.

The prefecture and county can naturally handle the matter properly. Whether it is fighting or killing, the governor himself cannot go into battle personally.

But today, the logic of power is a bit out of whack. The attitudes of the prefectures and counties are not very positive. Governor Wei has not yet understood clearly what the problem is.

So he began to talk about the principle of "loving the people as your own children" and pressed the county government to handle the case, but unexpectedly Lin Tailai jumped out and cheered.

Normally, Lin Daguan would not be able to see the governor if he wanted to, and would not be able to enter the gate of the governor's court at all, but today is special.

After all, this was an occasion when a delegation of Suzhou city officials, gentlemen and citizens traveled ten miles out of the city to greet the governor. Normally, the governor had to show up and accept the meeting according to etiquette.

This gave Lin Daguan an opportunity to forcefully talk to the governor, as long as he was not embarrassed.

Before anyone could react, Lin Tailai continued to speak loudly:

“I, Lin Tailai, often tell people that as an official, you must imitate a Qingtian master like Wei Dazhongcheng, always keep the people in your heart, and truly love the people like a son.

As the saying goes, if you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell grain! "

Every sentence was a compliment to the governor for his obedience, and they were elaborated in the spirit of the governor's speech just now about "loving the people like a son", making it difficult for others to interrupt him.

After finally waiting for Lin Daguan's people to finish selling the millet, a huge chorus of calls suddenly came from nearby.

Looking up, I saw a group of people kneeling on the Maple Bridge not far away, holding banners and white cloths to recruit people, and wrote in eight characters, "The victims have no food, please open a warehouse."

At some point, a group of people knelt on the other side of the river. They also held banners and white cloths to recruit people, and wrote in eight characters: "Victims beg for their lives, kneel down and beg to borrow food."

On and off the bridge, dozens of people shouted together: "Master Qingtian! Open a warehouse for farmers! Borrow food to survive! Pay back in the autumn!"

Rhythmic sounds floated back and forth on the river, reaching the ears of everyone on the shore.

Governor Wei, who loved his people as his own son, did not look at the victims who were petitioning, but looked at the prefect and magistrates with angry eyes.

How on earth do you, the loser in your county, arrange security on the outside?

Dozens of petitioners without permission were allowed to appear at random only dozens of steps away from the feudal officials, and morally kidnapped the feudal officials!

It was mainly a coincidence that in order to force the county to reopen the case, Governor Wei spoke from a high position about "loving the people like children".

As a result, in the blink of an eye, these "disaster victims" appeared with petitions, which made it difficult for Governor Wei to deal with them. He couldn't immediately slap himself in the face.

He could only shout angrily at the county officials and ask, "What on earth is going on?"

The two magistrates knew that those "disaster victims" were coming for the Jinongcang, which had been taken away by the government, so the two magistrates kept their noses and noses in mind and refused to take the blame.

In response to Governor Zhu’s look, Zhang Dongyang, the magistrate in charge of grain management, stepped forward helplessly and reported to the governor:

“During the floods last year, the storage capacity of various counties’ agricultural warehouses was greatly reduced. In order to prevent each county’s own government warehouses from running out of grain, the government government brought the county warehouses to the government for unified dispatch.

In order to prevent the situation of no available grain due to major disasters, in principle, no warehouses will be opened for minor disasters in each county before the new grain from the autumn harvest is put into storage.

Occasionally, there are ignorant people who don’t take the overall situation into consideration and show consideration for the government, and they just want to use the county’s agricultural warehouse to store grain!

And some county officials are ignorant of the general situation and secretly connive with these small people to persecute the government!

As everyone knows, if one county's warehouse runs out of grain, it is extremely easy to cause the counties to lose control and the whole government's agricultural warehouses to collapse at the same time! "

Governor Wei nodded and said: "Zhang Biejia's words are reasonable. The government naturally has its own difficulties, but it must also explain it to the people."

Then he pointed to the "disaster victims" petitioning on the Maple Bridge and on the other side, and told the county officials:

“This court is warning you about the way to serve as an official, and it is always inappropriate for them to interfere at will.

But this is a local government matter, so this court will not interfere directly. You and the local officials will persuade them to leave. "

The government officials don’t want to go. There must be someone behind these unscrupulous people. What if it’s a trap?

The officials of the two counties did not want to take the blame. The affairs of Jinongcang had nothing to do with their county, and they did not want to go there.

While the officials were giving each other back, they suddenly heard Senior Official Lin come forward and shouted:

"These unruly people dare to interrupt Dazhong Cheng's lecture. I am willing to help Dazhong Cheng solve his problems and persuade these ignorant unruly people to go!"

Everyone was speechless. You, Lin Tailai, the biggest cunning person in Suzhou City, are now criticizing others one by one. How could it be more ridiculous?

Then I saw Lin Daguan coming out of the circle and walking toward Fengqiao with long legs of one meter and two meters.

Afterwards, Lin Daguan, who was wearing official uniforms, rushed up to Fengqiao with one stride, tore up the banners with his hands, and then punched and kicked the "disaster victims" who were petitioning.

From a distance, this official Lin was like a tiger among a flock of sheep. Even though he was one against dozens of people, his momentum was not weak at all!

The "disaster victims" who petitioned on the bridge were immediately beaten to the ground and fled to the other side of the Maple Bridge.

Officer Lin drove the "disaster victims" petitioning from the bridge, then came to the other side, and rushed into another group of petitioning "disaster victims".

In full view of the public, dozens of "disaster victims" on the other side of the river were beaten until they fled, but they had no way to escape due to terrain problems.

As a result, a large number of "disaster victims" were helpless and poured into the nearby Hanshan Temple.

I wonder if Lin Daguan was in awe of Buddhism and stopped when he saw the "disaster victims" fleeing into Hanshan Temple.

After turning around and crossing the bridge, back here, Officer Lin saluted Governor Wei neatly and said:

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission! I have followed the instructions of Dazhong Cheng and persuaded these unruly people who dared to disturb Dazhong Cheng away!

Please continue to lecture Dazhong Cheng! As long as someone is in Suzhou, he will be safe and will not be bothered by those unruly people! "

Governor Wei: "."

Where did the lecture just come from?

Requesting the prefecture and county to love the people as their own children and then reopen the eight cases against the official Lin in front of him?

From what angle should this horse-riding man speak again? The old bureaucrat who had been in officialdom for decades suddenly made a mistake.

Governor Wei looked at Lin Tailai, who had great respect for him and even tried to cheer for him.

Then I looked at the various prefecture and county officials who were doing things in a shady manner and shifting the blame.

He was in a daze for a moment. He knew that the world was ridiculous, but how could he be so ridiculous on horseback?
