Fairy Road Return [comprehensive]

Yunyao had never thought of becoming a parent officer before. When she was writing a thesis for the research institute, her father specially arranged for her to be an intern in the municipal government for the sake of authenticity. When others take the form, she takes the official seal belonging to their department, slaps it on, and then it's done!

Although the county magistrate in ancient times was only a seventh-rank official, he had much more power than when she was an intern.No, don't think about rights first, and seek power in her position. She is in this position, what should she do?

Before the Shangyuan Festival, Yunyao was thinking, she listed all the problems that might be involved, and what is the ultimate goal she wants to achieve as the county magistrate?

After making a plan, Yun Yao had a solid idea in mind.

As soon as the Shangyuan Festival was over, Yun Yao started to take office.

Master Qi, scribes, and officials were all waiting in the county government office. Dozens of pairs of eyes were staring at the gate, waiting for that figure to appear.

"Master Qi, you said Miss Mu." Zhang Shuli poked Master Qi's waist, and Master Qi stopped him as soon as he said this, "What else is it called Miss Mu, it must be Master Mu!"

The twenty officials nodded in unison, and the other two scribes also nodded, Zhang scribe followed eagerly and said: "Yes, yes, I must call you Master Mu."

Yunyao originally wanted to go to the county government office alone, she rode fast, and could reach the county town in less than half an hour, but Yang Guo wanted to follow her to see her demeanor on the first day of taking office. Xiaolongnv, so Yunyao took her son and future daughter-in-law to the county government office.

As soon as her figure appeared in the line of sight of Master Qi and the others, Master Qi and the others immediately raised their heads and chests up, as if they were waiting for their superiors to inspect.

Yang Guo put on airs decently, he and Xiao Longnv walked on the left and right of Yunyao, Yunyao naturally saw the reaction of Master Qi and others, and also saw the reaction of her son, she couldn't help laughing.

Yun Yao walked five steps away from Master Qi and the others, stood still, cleared her throat, and said, "Master Qi, Shuli Zhang, everyone, happy new year!"

Master Qi took the lead, and said in a loud and authentic voice: "Master Mu, Happy New Year!" Their responses were quite quick, but it would be great if they could not put on such a pretense!

With her hands behind her back, Yun Yao acted like a master, "Master Qi, Zhang Shuli, Wang Shuli, Fan Shuli, and Zheng Butou are here to stay. The rest are scattered and should be on duty."

Having said that, Yunyao entered the house, and she sat in the upper seat, which is the place where she was raised to ask questions on weekdays. Now this place has not been opened for almost two years, and the people have stopped beating drums to complain. The three clerks handled the affairs. As for the case, if there is no county magistrate, it is the work of a scribe and the officials, but it is only registered, and the case has never been solved.

Yang Guo had a serious expression on his face. Now that he's grown up, he won't lose face to his mother. Although he saw such a serious yamen with the words "Mingjing Gaotai" written on the top of his head, his father still hangs there. At the word above, he should have laughed, but he held back.

Yun Yao glanced at Master Qi and the five of them. Master Qi was over fifty years old, and his body looked quite tough. He was the oldest person in the yamen.The three clerks were all in their forties, and when they saw her eyes, their expressions became a little more serious, and Zheng Butou didn't seem so nervous.

In the past, she didn't pay much attention to the allocation of the county office. Looking at it this way, she was a little depressed. The manpower was so small. The master almost did all the work of the county magistrate, and the three clerks even took care of other affairs. The [-] official servants in the city took care of all the safety of the entire county, and they supported such a large county government, they are really powerful!

As for the guards at the city gate, they are not assigned by the county government, but by the local township army. The highest officer of a township army in a place is a member of the army. Although he is a member of the army, his rank is half a level lower than that of the county magistrate.The number of township troops in Shangrao is about 100, and these 100 people are all assigned to guard the city gate. Zhao Canjun, relying on a little relationship with the commander of the Hunan Army above, is drunk and dreamy every day. The last time the bandits were involved, Zhao Canjun had already run away He went to Fucheng, and only ran back after the crisis was resolved. He simply wanted to save face and didn't tell outsiders. During the few days he was away, he was told that he was sick. Anyway, he often asked for leave.

"Sit down, we are old acquaintances, don't hold it like this." Yun Yao said with a smile, and she coughed, "I think everyone may know that this official position is strange, but it's just to seek political power in this position. , I will do my job well and do my best to benefit the common people, and I ask Master Qi and everyone to help me wholeheartedly."

Master Qi and the others said in unison with a loud voice: "It is the job of the subordinates to do things for the adults!"

Next, it will not be above this serious courtroom. Go to the back of the county government office, where Master Qi and others have meetings on weekdays. It is not enough to have such a small number of people in the government office, but it is not that simple to add people. To make up for the county magistrate, master book, etc., the first thing to consider is the funding of the county government office. The money is too little, and it is enough for Master Qi and others to have a little more monthly salary.

"How much money should the government allocate to us every quarter?" Yun Yao naturally thought of this question. She has not been influenced by the imperial examination system, and she doesn't know what the formal officialdom is like. Her belief is that she will not suffer, especially When she became a county magistrate, she had to pay her no less than a copper coin as much as the quarterly funds of Shangrao County stipulated by the imperial court.

When Master Qi thought of Yunyao's force, his whole body trembled, and his mouth crackled as if talking.

"There are four seasons in a year. Because spring happens to be the time for spring plowing, the imperial court stipulates that Shangrao County has 6000 taels of funds. In summer, flood control is required, but the funds are less, 4000 taels. Autumn is the harvest season, and this season has the least funds. , it’s only 1000 taels, and we still have to file tax returns. In winter, because of snowstorms, the budget is a bit higher, 2000 taels.”

Mr. Qi finished speaking, and three scribes narrated. Zhang scribe said: "Our funds are incomplete every quarter, so we can make up the funds belonging to Shangrao when we file taxes due to the bumper harvest in autumn. The government office will not say anything."

Seeing their bitter faces, Yun Yao couldn't help asking: "Then tell me, how much is the budget for going to the county government in spring, summer and winter?"

Master Qi tremblingly stretched out five fingers of his right hand, Yun Yao thought he meant 5000 taels, compared to 6000 taels, one-sixth was deducted from the above, which is not too dark.

"500 taels in spring."

Yunyao's face is black, and her hands are too dark after being exploited layer by layer?She said with a sullen face, "What about summer and winter?"

Wang Shuli and Fan Shuli said respectively: "300 taels in summer and 100 taels in winter."

Yun Yao's heart had sunk to the bottom, she rested her chin on her cheek: "When will this year's funding be distributed? Who will usually get it back? Or will the government send someone to send it?"

My lord's complexion is not good, but every new county magistrate is like this, but there is no way to change this situation.

Master Qi swallowed his saliva and said: "The government will send an envoy to send it."

Yun Yao glanced at Master Qi and the others one by one, Zhang Shuli lowered his voice and said: "The government sent someone to deliver, we still have to be filial to the envoy, and we have to invite him to eat and drink."

This errand is a fat job. Every time the government office will scramble to do the errand. Take the spring funds as an example, it has already been exploited to only 500 taels. For this trip, it only costs more than 400 taels to the county government treasury. Two.

"When?" Yunyao's mind turned quickly: "I'll go to the government office to get it myself, 6000 taels is not less!" Her tone was very light, but she heard Master Qi and others tremble with fear, but she thought about it carefully , and they felt extremely relieved.

"Before the fifth day of February, all the messengers will come to the counties."

Yun Yao pursed her lips and smiled: "Very well, then on the first day of February, I will personally go to the government office to find out the rules and regulations of the imperial court so that the other party will not renege on their debts. I will also prepare a copy of the laws and regulations of the Song Dynasty. I am going to ask for it with dignity. The prefect can't delay giving you the money." If you don't give it, she will let him taste why the flowers are so popular!

Then Yunyao thought that it could not be done overnight, so she asked Master Qi and others to go down to do things, and she read the county government's county annals by herself, so that she could have a clearer understanding of the entire county of Shangrao.

At noon, Yang Guo and Xiao Longnv went out to eat and brought back a meal for Yunyao. In the afternoon, they continued to repeat their reading in the morning.

Around dusk, Yunyao took Yang Guo and Xiaolongnv back to Lianshan Village, and chatted with Yao Mingzhu, Dongliang and others about the situation of the county government she knew, especially the embezzlement of funds. , officials and officials protect each other and exploit each other, and there is very little money that is really used.

Yang Guo didn't ask any questions all day today, and when he fell asleep, it was a warm time for a family of three, and he finally asked the question that puzzled him.

"Mom, where did the money go? Didn't the emperor name the money as belonging to Shangrao, why didn't the government office give it all?" Yang Guo stared at Yun Yao, and then looked at Yang Kang from time to time.

During the day, he actually asked his father this question, but his father didn't tell him, saying he would tell him at night.

How does this explain the corruption and darkness of officialdom?Yun Yao thought about it for a while, and first talked about the management affairs of the Yang residence, the family is the epitome of a country, if you understand the fundamental truth, you can also understand the court.

At the end, Yunyao said: "...This is wrong. After a while, once you find out that this is wrong, you have to stop it. We can't let it continue to be corrupt. People are not willing to swallow it. When someone stops this Even if it only works for a period of time, people will relapse in the future, we can't pretend that we didn't see it, and we can't let ourselves be corrupted by these bad things. Things will happen sooner or later, just let the dark things around you continue to spread."

Yang Guo frowned, although he didn't fully understand the meaning of his mother's words, but he would remember, he nodded heavily: "Guo'er remembered."

Yunyao patted his head and told him to go to bed quickly. The next day he had to practice martial arts and attend classes, and children had heavy tasks.

But after she left, she heard Yang Guo and Yang Kang say, "Daddy, why don't you talk?"

Yang Kang said as if his mind was wandering into the universe: "Guoer, Daddy doesn't tell you during the day because Daddy has self-knowledge." As for his dark heart, there is no positive energy, so he doesn't play tricks.

Yang Guo looked at him suspiciously, Yang Kang pursed his lips and said: "Because Daddy and I are darker than others, I can't say anything reasonable, you listen to your mother's words, and you will grow up to be a sunny little handsome boy in the future."

Yang Guo giggled, Yun Yao paused, and shook her head amusingly.

Yun Yao came out from the side room, and Yang Kang was lying on her big bed again, she was already immune to masculinity, let alone Ah Piao who was putting on someone else's face.

"Nianci, you are going to the government office, and I will go with you. I will scare the prefect to see if he dares to embezzle funds." Now he only has this role, Yunyao will not let him act rashly. Too bloody power, it would be an accident to meet Yao Mingzhu Dongliang, now that he can control himself, how dare Yunyao let him mess around!

Yun Yao glanced at him and shook her head: "You have to stay at home and watch over your son. From the moment he remembers, you will be with him every day, are you willing?"

Sure enough, Yang Kang hesitated, but he still said: "He is already ten years old, he is a young adult, it's fine for me to walk away occasionally."

Yunyao ignored him. After all, there is still half a month before the first day of February. During this half month, she has been working diligently at work. Thanks to her excellent memory, she has completely understood all the villages around Shangrao.

There are a total of 800 villages in Shangrao, each with about [-] people, and a total population of about [-].This base number is not too much in the Song Dynasty, but it is not the least. That is to say, Shangrao is far from the level of wealth, but it is not at the level of poverty.

The wealth of a county is judged here based on the population base. The average population of a rich county is more than [-], [-] to [-] is another base, [-] to [-] is a base, and the population is less than [-]. , then it is a poor county.

Just half a month later, in the early morning of the first day of February, Yunyao showed up at the county government office, Zheng Butou called eight officials, and accompanied Yunyao to the government office.

It only takes one day for Shangrao to go to Fuya by carriage, and it takes only three or four hours to ride a horse. However, if they arrive in Fucheng, it will be afternoon, and Fuya may be off work, so they may have to stay in Fucheng for one night.

Yun Yao glanced at Yang Kang who was hanging on the horse's neck, but didn't say anything, since he discussed with Yang Guo, if he wants to go together, let's go together, maybe he really needs to be used.

The prefecture directly under Shangrao is Hongzhou Prefecture. The magistrate's surname is Mao and his name is Liangcai. The name is a good one, but unfortunately his character is really not good.

Yunyao's group of ten people and one family, Ah Piao, arrived at Hongzhou Mansion in the afternoon, and the ten people registered for accommodation at the inn. Yunyao was waiting at the inn. Zheng Butou took three officials to the government office to inquire. I am quite familiar with these things, and I have found out almost without any effort. The mission to distribute funds this year has not yet set off, but all arrangements have been made at the government office. Starting tomorrow, the missions will go to Hongzhou Prefecture separately. many counties in the country.

Catcher Zheng also brought in the errand who was sent to Shangrao this year. The errand looked gloomy and the boss was unhappy, but Yunyao ignored him. The purpose of her coming was not just 500 taels, she was running for 6000 taels. Two came.

After the envoy left, Zheng Butou was a little puzzled and said, "Master, why don't you ask this envoy for his part of the funds?"

Yun Yao shook her head: "The funds have to be signed and secured, but the amount issued by the government office does not have an amount written on it. Once I sign and claim it, I will go to the magistrate tomorrow. He will not admit that we have received 500 taels. It will recognize that we have received 6000 taels."

These details are all traps. Simply, the errand may want to show her off. He didn't plan to give her the funds today, but planned to let her go.

Catcher Zheng and the officials suddenly realized, and Yun Yao even said: "When it comes to the amount of money, you must be careful in the future, and you must write the numbers clearly and clearly, otherwise you will step into a trap. "

The next day, Catcher Zheng called the messenger again, and the messenger thought that as long as he got a lot of benefits, he would issue the funds, otherwise he would have to weigh it.

Yun Yao had already told Zheng Butou and the eight officials, even if they drink and chat with the officials, they are not afraid of bragging.

When the envoy was coaxed by Zheng Butou to be elated and drank until he blushed and his neck was thick, he seemed to get vaguely from Zheng Butou that his share would not be less, so he took out the money from his body. That piece of paper and five silver ingots.

Yunyao asked in surprise, "Only five silver ingots?" There was only one line written on the label. In the first year of Duanping, Shangrao County's spring funds had been issued, and she was required to sign and stamp it with the seal of the county government.

The messenger said dizzily, "Isn't this the usual practice?"

Yun Yao slapped the table with her palm, and shouted: "How is it possible? For the 6000 taels of spring funds, you will give me 500 taels?"

They were on the second floor of the restaurant, there were customers upstairs and downstairs, and the other guests turned their heads to look at Yunyao's table curiously. There was a woman here, and she was still wearing an official uniform.

She reached out and picked up the man opposite, and told the nine officials wearing official uniforms next to her: "Go, take these things, I want to talk to the magistrate, how can Shangrao's spring funds come from the imperial court?" The 6000 taels turned into 500 taels? Is this bullying this official or a woman?"

The messenger was so frightened by this incident that his head suddenly became clear, and Yun Yao's seemingly angry words immediately let the crowd of onlookers understand the ins and outs of the matter.

So Yunyao carried the errand, and there were officials in the front, back, left, and right to clear the way and cover, ten people went all the way to the government office, and there were more martial arts people and common people who didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement, and they followed behind, all the way Arrived at the government office of Hongzhou Prefecture.

Mao Zhifu works half a day a day, that is to say, he only arrives at the Yamen in the morning. Which county government office in Hongzhou Prefecture doesn't know this?

The last time Magistrate Mao came to Shangrao to investigate the death of County Magistrate Kou, Yunyao had never seen him, but Catcher Zheng and the eight officials all recognized him, so when they came to the government office, Magistrate Mao took a sedan chair Arriving at the government office leisurely, I just got off the sedan chair.

"My lord, that is the prefect of Mao!" Zheng Butou's voice was loud.

Yun Yao's eyes lit up, she patted her dizzy errand, and in an instant she came in front of Mao Zhifu, which surprised Mao Zhifu.

Seeing that it was a beautiful woman, magistrate Mao's eyes lit up, it could be seen that he had never seen Yunyao before, and did not know that the female Bodhisattva of Shangrao was standing in front of him.

Yun Yao threw the envoy in front of Magistrate Mao, clasped her fists and saluted: "I have seen the magistrate of Shangrao!"

Zhifu Mao's pupils shrank, and he took a step back. Seeing the martial arts figures and ordinary people surrounded on three sides, his face darkened.

"I have something to say to the government office!" Mao Zhifu shook his sleeves and planned to bypass Yunyao. This Shangrao is an evil place, and this county magistrate may be carrying an infectious disease, so he should stay away.

Yun Yao replied in a loud voice: "Yes. Your Majesty, the lower official came here specifically to ask the higher official why the spring budget that this envoy gave to the lower official was 500 taels? The imperial court stipulated that Shangrao's spring budget was 6000 taels, please. Lord Zhifu upholds justice and severely punishes this dog official who disregards the laws of the court!"

That messenger wanted to die even more now, but he just couldn't get dizzy.

Mao Zhifu's heart trembled, and his face became even more gloomy!

One of them took the lead in laughing, and the crowd immediately laughed one after another. A young man in white shook a folding fan, and his smile was very meaningful.

The new county magistrate of Shangrao is a woman. This news has not been widely spread, but the merchants who do business in the land of Hongzhou Prefecture know that this young man in white is a merchant in the prefecture. When he heard the female magistrate of Shangrao I understood what was going on. In the past, no one dared to twirl a beard on a tiger's head, but this female county magistrate dared to be No.1.

He shook his head with a meaningful smile. This female county magistrate may soon become famous in the Song Dynasty, but how long can she exist?

After entering the government office, the onlookers couldn't enter, but they didn't leave. They wanted to know the result, whether the female magistrate of Shangrao had received all the spring funds.

The magistrate Mao was very friendly and made it clear that he would verify the matter, but it would take a few days.

But Yunyao didn't have so much time to spend with him, she looked at Zhifu Mao with a half-smile and said, "Master Zhifu, you and I know very well how the county magistrate Xiaguan came about."

Yun Yao was just probing, but Mao Zhifu's face changed, and she noticed even the slightest changes.

"I also know that it's tricky, but I'm a very honest person. The imperial court said that as much as our four seasons funds in Shangrao, the lower officials have to get as much as they want, not a single cent is missing."

Mao Zhifu's face darkened, and he stared at Yunyao like a wolf.

Yun Yao stood up, her hands resting heavily on the table, and when she withdrew her hand and patted it, the table between them collapsed and turned into a pile of sawdust.

Prefect Mao took a few steps back and leaned against the wall with a look of fear on his face, "You, are you threatening me?"

"The name of Bodhisattva Bodhisattva is not for nothing. Do you know how Xiaguan restrained those gangsters in the first place? Me." Yun Yao gestured with a long knife, "Slash it down, chop it down Lost the bandit leader's legs!"

Yun Yao smiled and nodded: "Threat, so what? Now that the Song Dynasty is full of wars and the court is so corrupt, you can spend money to invite a hundred thousand troops to come to Shangrao, and see if the next official is intact or you One hundred thousand troops are afraid of death?"

Yang Kang floated aside, holding his head proudly: "Don't worry Nianci, leave the [-] troops to me!"

Yunyao glanced at him, and to be honest, he gave her such confidence. Even if she is a master of martial arts, she is really looking for death against millions of troops, but with this "relative of Hades or Pluto", she I am not afraid anymore.

Yun Yao came out carrying a big cloth bag, the cloth bag clanged as she walked, and there were sixty silver ingots, each of which was a lot, and the magistrate Mao issued them to her.

Zheng Butou and the other nine people had been waiting outside, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yun Yao come out intact.And the eyes of those onlookers lit up all of a sudden.

Yun Yao clasped her hands in all directions, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, the magistrate understands righteousness. I am the newly appointed county magistrate of Shangrao. I sincerely welcome all folks to do business in Shangrao!"

After the matter was settled, a group of ten people returned happily.

However, the news that the female county magistrate of Shangrao bravely went to the government office of Hongzhou to receive the complete spring funds spread like this. Many ordinary people did not know about the four seasons funds before, but after entering this matter, they also knew everything about it. Other counties After the yamen heard about it, they all came to the government yamen one after another, but they didn't want to come, because they had already received the funds from the messenger and signed and stamped them.However, they will learn a lot from a pit, and when they wait for the summer funding, they won't be fooled like this time.

However, everything is always unsatisfactory, and many things may happen in a few months.

Yunyao received 6000 taels of spring funds, and immediately began to make plans with Master Qi and others. In fact, the government only supervised the spring farming of the common people, but they did not take money.She considered that 6000 taels was not much, and it was impossible to support every family, so she had to use it in other places.

So in the next half a month of February, Yunyao inspected the surrounding villages in Shangrao, planning to plant fruit trees and medicinal materials in some barren hills, and the people of Shangrao knew about the county magistrate's move, and they all supported it. After all, planting fruit trees and medicinal materials, The county government wants to hire people to work, so they can earn a wage.

The matter of buying saplings and medicinal seeds, Yunyao handed over the full authority to his subordinates, and in the past half a month, the Shangrao county government finally did not have such a shabby few people, staffed up and assigned tasks, and everyone was orderly get busy.

Yun Yao finally had some free time, and then heard the news that the Mongol army had made a comeback and was fighting with the Song army in Xiangyang City.

Huang Yaoshi came one day in the middle of March, and he brought accurate news. He came from Xiangyang, and his daughter and son-in-law were fighting against the enemy in Xiangyang.

Why did Guo Jing help Mongols attack the Kingdom of Jin back then, which made Mongols invincible except the Song Dynasty?
