Chapter 29 Xiao Yi
"General Situ, I trouble you to supervise these two parades. These two have been local snakes in Zhongsuzhou for many years. Some local forces will take this opportunity to obstruct the parade and prevent the people from providing evidence. If there is such a person, you will Grab it, decide for yourself."
What Li Jinchen said made some sense, Situ Qing agreed, and asked again: "What about the two of you?"
"Jinchen and Mu Xin are going to go to the state government office. Xiao Ruhai is down, and someone needs to handle the affairs of the state." Li Jinchen always calls himself "the king" when speaking to others, but he only calls himself by his first name to Situ Qing. Kindness, how could Situ Qing not perceive it.
"Okay, see you later." Situ Qing cupped his hands and escorted the two sinners away.
In the study room of the state government yamen, Li Jinchen was flipping through the list of yamen officials.Among the many officials, there are four who can fill the vacancy, how to choose?They must be competent and honest, and they must also do a good job in the follow-up disaster relief work.
Mu Xin could see Li Jinchen's hesitation, "His Royal Highness, there is a man named Xiao Yi in this official list, he is my cousin, and he was once a second-ranked Jinshi. But because he is upright and upright, he offended Xiao Ruhai and was suppressed, so he has not been reused. , These years are small officials. His Highness is not afraid to use this person. He said to Queen Xiao that he used the Xiao family to help King Qi, so that he can not only find a good official for the people of Zhongsuzhou, but also deceive Queen Xiao's eyes. "
Li Jinchen's words from Mu Xin did make sense, but whether this person is good or not needs to be carefully observed.So he called Xiao Yilai.Xiao Yi was also considered handsome, with sharp edges and corners on his face, he acted as if he didn't see Mu Xin when he saw him, and he was neither humble nor overbearing when he saw Li Jinchen.
"Mu Xin is a second rank official, why are you not being polite?" Li Jinchen asked with a straight face.
"The second rank of the official residence is misbehaving, and I don't want to salute to this kind of person. If the prince wants to punish him, he will punish him!"
It is true that he is straightforward and not tactful, such a person cannot be tolerated in the officialdom.However, Li Jinchen wanted such a person to spoil the morality of Zhongsuzhou.
"Mu Xin's rumors are mostly related to this king, why do you only salute this king?"
"This ceremony was done for the people of Zhongsu Prefecture. The prince showed Xiao Ruhai and Zeng Panyou Street to the public. The two of them have searched for the people's fat and anointment for many years, and caused harm to the village. This is very satisfying. Moreover, there is a sign on the tour bus to collect criminal evidence, which shows that the prince has a strategy. This ritual should be done." Xiao Yi had a look of admiration on his face, his words were sincere, and he was also a person with clear grievances and grievances.
"Now that you know everything, this king will not go around in circles. Now, there is no leader in the state government office, and this king has the important task of escorting military supplies and cannot stay for long. The management of this disaster needs to be considered in the long run. This king checked the list of officials, you Once a two-rank Jinshi, and worked in Zhongsuzhou for a long time, and understand the local and disaster situation, this king ordered you to replace Xiao Ruhai as the magistrate of Zhongsuzhou, and carry out disaster relief and refugee resettlement matters and the daily affairs of the state government office. Would you like it?" Li Jinchen's eyes were burning.
Xiao Yi was startled, but he didn't expect that the king of Chu would act resolutely. He quickly knelt down to receive the order, "I am wrongly loved by the prince, and I am willing to guarantee with my life that I will resettle the refugees, handle the disaster relief affairs well, and restore Suzhou to its former glory!"
"Why do you want your life? You just need to do your job well, be worthy of the court at the top, your conscience in the middle, and the common people at the bottom!" Li Jinchen supported Xiao Yi's hand, motioning for him to flatten himself.
Hearing such a sentence, Xiao Yi, who was used to the darkness of the officialdom, hesitated to see a ray of light, and the upright man actually shed two lines of tears, "The lord has a light in his heart, and it will surely illuminate my great Zhou thousands of miles of rivers and mountains!"
Li Jinchen smiled, picked up a notice that he had drawn up early in the morning, and handed it to Xiao Yi, "Just take a look at this notice, is there any omission?"
Xiao Yi looked at the content of the notice, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became. With trembling hands, he said excitedly: "Your Majesty! This notice is well drafted!"
Li Jinchen didn't come here to listen to the flattery, she deliberately left out a part of it and didn't write it, just to see if Xiao Yi had the ability to see it, if he saw it, it would mean that he was capable of managing a state.
Xiao Yi didn't know that this was a test for him, and he was still full of praise for the content of the notice, "It says that large merchants must donate [-]% of their property to the state government for disaster relief. For merchants who donate more There must be tax relief and rewards. This is a good one. Businessmen seek profits, tycoons seek fame, and donate some money to gain both fame and fortune. There are also handicraft workshops and shops that hire at least one refugee with craftsmanship or labor, and hire one more person. The court There is a subsidy of five taels of silver. There is also a rule that all people and things that contribute to disaster relief and disaster relief, such as donations, porridge, and relief of refugees, must be registered, and will be engraved on the credit list in the future. For donations, there must be The donation list should be hung everywhere in the state to let the refugees know where the donated materials have been used, which is also good... But, my lord, there seems to be something missing."
"But it's okay to say." Li Jinchen signaled.
"Here it is said that the villages should be rebuilt on the outskirts of the city, and that men among the refugees can go to work.
"There is a water source in the outskirts of the city, but it was blocked by Zeng Pan in his courtyard. When it is dredged, although the amount of water is small, it can meet temporary needs." Li Jinchen said.
Xiao Yi squeezed his fists resentfully, "Zeng Pan is abominable, so many people in the city died of thirst and starvation, he actually cut off the water source. But a short-term need is not a long-term solution. I want to lead eastward after everything is stable. The water from Dongzhou is coming. Dongzhou is flooded quickly, it is better to dredge the two places and neutralize the disaster, but it will become two good things."
Li Jinchen nodded and said yes, the person Mu Xin recommended is pretty good.
"My lord, there are many widows and young children among the refugees. They are not able to survive. I wonder if the Zeng family's house can be vacated to house orphans and widows. The widows will take care of the orphans by the way. The state government will provide their daily necessities." Xiao Yi suggested.
Li Jinchen's eyes lit up. Although she had been taken care of by the imperial sister since she was a child, but the empress' alienation and later learning that her biological mother was killed by the empress made her feel like an orphan. Xiao Yi's suggestion touched her heart "That's a good idea. You can also tell the capable but childless families in the city to adopt some young children in the state government office to form a complete family. Regular return visits should be made for such adoptions to avoid abuse."
"That's right, the prince is really thoughtful! Also, there are fewer requirements for refugees. In the name of drought for years, many refugees make a living by begging and stealing in the name of disasters. I think that refugees should be treated in the same way as merchants. As long as they are willing to do good, the state government will resettle them. If they are healthy but rely on the relief of the imperial court, they can parade in the streets, and those who are serious, such as thieves who are still in the grass, will be exiled!"
Li Jinchen nodded, she was more and more satisfied with Xiao Yi in front of her.
