Liu Zhishan raised her head, looked at Xiao Yijie for a long time, and said: "So I thought it was strange that you are not a good young sect master, and you went to the court to disturb something. It was because of this. I believe that you will be able to do something for the people in the future." Please, my good officer, work hard!"

"Sect master," Xiao Yijie looked straight into her eyes, "I have a senior sister and a younger brother, are you interested in getting to know each other, you will definitely be able to chat!"

☆、Young Prefect

Chapter 39 The Young Prefect

When the prefect's mansion was surrounded by the army, Ye Ping finally understood that everything was just a dream, and he was tricked into jail by a boy he had always looked down upon.The corrupt officials who were domineering in the local area were finally brought to justice. Since the severe drought, the streets and alleys of Wutong have not been so lively for a long time. People cheered and rushed to tell each other.

Slowly, nursery rhymes like this began to be chanted everywhere:

Fat-headed and big-eared member Wailang colluded with the prefect to steal food,

Five cents and one dou of rice is good, but 21 dou is not good!

The [-]-year-old man of the Xiao family distributed rice to relieve the famine,

Punish the evil and fight the prefect, justice in the world must be upheld!

Unexpectedly, this nursery rhyme was passed on by word of mouth, and even spread to Yundu.The memorial to the impeachment of Tongzhou prefect Ye Ping was timely, and the evidence was solid. Luo Fan immediately issued an order to escort him back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial, and at the same time ordered Xiao Yijie to temporarily act as Tongzhou prefect.

The herald who announced the decree closed the decree, smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Xiao!"

Tongzhou is a poor place, and it is in a disaster right now, not to mention that the word interim is worth pondering. The people who have fled are now returning to Tongzhou one after another, and I am afraid that there will be even greater tests waiting for her.

"Where is it, please take care of it in the future." Xiao Yijie took the imperial decree and stuffed a bank note from his arms, "It's been a hard journey."

"Your Majesty Xiao is very polite. Your Majesty is still waiting for the subordinate officials to go back and report back. The subordinate officials dare not delay, so I will leave now."

Liu Yi stepped forward and cupped his hands to congratulate: "Master Xiao, congratulations!"

Xiao Yijie was thinking about the reconstruction after the disaster, his brows were furrowed, and there was no joy on his face.

"Haha," Liu Yi smiled brightly, "Others are always happy when they get promoted, why is it that you, Master Xiao, are so sad when you get promoted?"

Xiao Yijie sighed, and said: "Now that the refugees are coming back one after another, although the rice problem has been temporarily relieved, but relying on food reserves alone is not a long-term solution. Production must be resumed as soon as possible. I also hope that the general will help Xiao."

After listening to Liu Yi's thoughts of putting away the joke, he also said seriously: "Master Xiao, you are welcome, Liu Yi will definitely try his best!"

Her eyes were firm, and only by stabilizing the situation in Tongzhou first could the disaster situation be cured slowly.

Towards noon, the sweltering heat scorched the already barren land. In the streets and alleys of Wutong, there were groups of soldiers knocking on the gong and shouting: "The prefect has an order, and the registered heads of households will arrive tomorrow at every hour." Gather in front of the Fu Yamen!" The same words were repeated over and over again, just hoping that this news could reach every household in Wutong.

At Chenshi, Xiao Yijie stood in front of the prefect's mansion in a vermilion official uniform, satin boots, and a black gauze hat inlaid with sapphires. This formal third-rank prefect's attire made her feel a little uncomfortable.Facing dozens of men with thin faces and thin faces, she couldn't help sobbing.It is these most simple working people who have created countless miracles, but they are hungry and enjoy unfair treatment.

"Boys of the same state!" This shout brought out a bit of internal strength, which shocked everyone present, "I want to thank you for defending the land of the same state! Thank you for not giving up, I know this is not easy "I, Xiao Yijie, are younger than many of you, and I want to call everyone uncle, but please believe me! I, Xiao Yijie, swear that if I have me in Tongzhou, I will not Let everyone have no food to eat and no new clothes to wear! Starting today, I will build the first school in Tongzhou. Everyone of you will join in, and you will be subsidized by one liter of food every day for your work! Those who have wives and children at home will give more subsidies ."

Some people in the crowd cheered uncontrollably, at this time one person shouted: "My lord, why build a school?"

This is the countermeasure Xiao Yijie came up with. Due to the drought, the land cannot be cultivated, but so many laborers cannot be left idle. Seeing that there is no public school in the city, she thought of developing education in the future, so she came up with such a plan Kill two birds with one stone.

"In order for all children to be able to read and learn, because only knowledge can change fate!" Xiao Yijie looked at the man, who seemed to be around twenty years old, "What's your name? Go forward and answer."

"Go back to your lord, Zhang Yan, a grassroots man."

She saw that this man was handsome, wearing a Confucian robe, although the robe was torn in many places, it was tidied meticulously, Xiao Yijie walked up to him and asked, "Are you a scholar?"

"Caomin was originally a scholar this year, but he stayed in his hometown because he didn't bother to go to the capital."

Xiao Yijie nodded and said: "I cherish your talent. Right now is the time for employing people. If you are willing, you can take the post of clerk temporarily. From today onwards, you will start to record the family situation of each of them in detail and organize them into a book Give it to me right away."

Zhang Yan was a little surprised. He looked up at the young man with surprise in his eyes.

Xiao Yijie laughed and said, "Why, don't you believe what I say?"

Zhang Yan shook his head quickly, then knelt down and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, sir."

He looked up at the young man in front of him, and suddenly felt that this man was the one who could lead the people of Tongzhou through difficulties.

a month later

Xiao Yijie was dressed in a cobalt blue brocade robe, with a ribbon on his head, and official boots. Besides his handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, he also possessed official authority. He was currently patrolling the construction site of the school.

Along the way, although Wutong did not return to the same prosperity as before, it has also improved significantly, and the other two counties have also received good news, and the efforts of this month have not been in vain.The victims came back one after another, and the population of Wutong increased a lot. She ordered Zhang Yan to record the increase and decrease of the population one by one, which was much more convenient.

"Lord Xiao, Zhang Yuanwai from the south of the city has returned with his family today, and Li Yuanwai's family from the east of the city has also returned." Zhang Yan held a booklet in his hand and read: "Zhang Yuanwai is forty and three years old this year. He has one wife and two. A concubine, with two sons and a daughter, Li Yuanwai is thirty-eight years old, has a wife and a concubine, and has two sons."

Zhang Yan was careful in his work and kept detailed records. Xiao Yijie was very satisfied with him in his heart.

She nodded approvingly and said: "Okay, I see, you can continue to work, if you don't have enough manpower, tell General Liu directly, you don't have to ask me everything, just don't delay things."

"Yes, my lord."

The weather in the last few days has been extremely hot, maybe it's a precursor to rain, Xiao Yijie looked up at the sky, and sure enough there was no cloud in the sky, and it was as blue as washing.

It would be great if Tongzhou, which has just experienced a severe drought, can usher in a heavy rain.

It was night, a strong wind blew up, lightning and thunder followed by wind and rain in an instant, many people who were awakened went out to cheer, enjoying the happiness of being drenched in rain, Xiao Yijie was also awakened by the thunder, and simply got up Light the lamp, open the windows and feel the cool night air with the smell of grass and rain.

"My lord, something is wrong." Zhang Yan knocked on the door anxiously.

"What's up?"

"My lord, two of the workers who were watching the night at the forest farm were buried by the mud washed down from the mountain!"

Human life is at stake, Xiao Yijie hurriedly said: "Go and prepare the horse, we will go over to check immediately, and send someone to the yamen to inform the manpower!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yijie was very anxious. This was probably a mudslide caused by excessive felling of the trees in the forest farm. She hadn't noticed this before, but who would have expected the sudden rainstorm?

The deafening thunder was rolling continuously, the heavy rain poured down, the soil mixed with stones was constantly washed away, and the road was muddy and rough. 43/86 First page Previous page 4142434445464748 Next page Last page
