I'm a marquis in Datang

The long-lost sun is shining and the weather is fine.

Everything is breezy.

After all, the weather from late August to September is not hot anymore.The people in Jiangyin County were not greatly affected by the disaster. Many people walked out of their homes one after another to feel the long-lost sun.

Du Ye walked around the city and found that many people had gone out.Even when the clouds cleared and the rain cleared, many people came out and started setting up stalls on the street.

This is a good thing.

It proves that Jiangyin County recovered quickly.

As soon as Du Ye turned around and returned to the county office, Xu Tu came in a hurry and said, "Master, where did you go just now? Someone from Changzhou is here, and there is an order from the governor of Changzhou."

Du Ye said, "Got it."

He went straight back to the hall of the county yamen, and saw a middle-aged man in green clothes, tall and tall, with slightly elongated features, resembling a donkey's face.

After Du Ye sat down, he said, "Changzhou Governor Jiang arranged for Your Excellency to come, what's the matter?"

The governor of Changzhou, named Jiang Yu.

It was promoted a few years ago.

The middle-aged man said: "In Xialiu Jin, it is the governor of Changzhou. I came here today on the order of Governor Jiang to inform County Magistrate Du to prepare [-] shi of grain and hand it over to Changzhou for the governor Jiang to use."

Du Ye's complexion suddenly darkened.

One hundred thousand stones of grain.

It costs one hundred thousand stones, which is a big mouth for a lion.

We must know that Jiangyin County today is still waiting to be rebuilt, especially after the flood this time, although the entire Jiangyin County has been prepared in advance, so everything is fine.But even so, there are still many people in Jiangyin County affected by the disaster, and they also need government relief.Especially now that the flood is over, food prices will definitely rise. Du Ye also pointed to the grain in his hand to stabilize food prices and stabilize prices.If all the food is handed over now, the consequences will be disastrous.

What's more, his early efforts will be in vain.

This is what Du Ye doesn't want to see.

Du Ye took a deep breath and suppressed his inner emotions. He said regretfully: "Liu Changshi, I'm afraid I will not be able to complete the order of Governor Jiang. As you all know, before the heavy rain, I have been recruiting people to dig ditches and ditches to reinforce them. River embankments, digging canals, and clearing river channels. These alone have consumed countless grains and money. Even Jiangyin County originally had some grains. But now, a lot of grains have been consumed. Where is there any grain left? .”

He directly found a reason to shirk.

In short, it is impossible for him to accept one hundred thousand shi of grain.

After all, he also had to provide disaster relief for this flood, and besides, Jiangnan Road had already started allocating food for disaster relief, so why would he need to allocate food from him.

Liu Jin's complexion also darkened instantly.His eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "Magistrate Du, this is the order of Governor Jiang. No matter whether you can raise food or not, you must hand in one hundred thousand shi of grain. Governor Jiang gave you five days, within five days , The food must be sent out, otherwise, you should stop doing it. Even, Governor Jiang will take you to the state capital for questioning."

"Hahaha……"

After Du Ye heard it, he couldn't help laughing.

interesting!

This is really interesting!

Liu Jin said, "Magistrate Du, what are you laughing at?"

Du Ye shook his head and said, "I'm not laughing at anything, I just have a question and I want to ask Liu Changshi."

Liu Jin said: "Speak."

Du Ye asked: "The governor Jiang wants to collect food now, except I have [-] shi of food here. How much food do the other counties distribute?"

Liu Jin shook his head and said, "All counties have been hit by floods, and the situation is terrible. Only your Jiangyin County, although there are some floods in the territory, but the impact is not great. So now the food can only be transferred from your Jiangyin County. The rest There are no tasks assigned to the counties. Magistrate Du, let me remind you that the county magistrate is better off now."

"Perhaps you came from the court, and you want to serve in the local area and want to make achievements. But in Changzhou, Jiang Shishi is the biggest, and he is your god."

"Whether you can be promoted or not depends entirely on Governor Jiang."

"What's more, at the level of the governor, which one doesn't matter? So you, don't say anything about your family background. Now that the governor of Jiang ordered it, you just obey it."

Liu Jin said: "That's all I said. As for whether you want to obey it, that's up to you. Du Ye, you are a smart person, you should know how to do it."

"Hahaha……"

After Du Ye heard it, he burst into laughter again.

There was disdain in the laughter.

There is even more sarcasm.

You really bullied him. All the counties in Changzhou were hit by disasters.Of course, Jiangyin County was actually hit by a disaster, but the damage was not so serious.It stands to reason that Du Ye did an excellent job and should be rewarded, but the Changzhou governor not only did not reward him, but instead allocated tasks to disgust him, and even only assigned tasks to him.

You know, the situation in Jiangyin County was due to Du Ye's exhausting efforts. It took more than half a month in the early stage to create the current situation. This is hard-won.

But now to revitalize the situation, food is extremely critical.

Without food, everything will be difficult.

Once Du Ye handed over the [-] shi of grain, it would be difficult for Du Ye to stabilize Jiangyin County.Then the situation in Jiangyin County may not be much better in the end. Even if it has not been severely affected, it will be the same in the end.

It was deliberately directed at him.

Seeing Du Ye laughing again, Liu Jin's expression darkened immediately, and he said coldly, "Du Ye, I have already said what should be said. As for whether to accept it, it depends on your choice. If you insist on resisting, then in the end , just wait for the order of Governor Jiang, and I will take you directly to the state capital for questioning."

Du Ye flicked his sleeves and said, "Liu Changshi, I will answer you now. I, Du Ye, will never agree to give food. What's more, I, Jiangyin County, don't have so much food to the state government. Even if I'm not afraid of Governor Jiang wanting to take people. It's a big deal, let's make things worse, and see who suffers, and who can't hold on first."

Liu Jin shook his head and said: "You are so self-righteous. Let me tell you, you are a dragon crossing the river, but when you arrive in Changzhou, you have to obey the governor of Jiang. County magistrate Du, I will ask you one last time, whether you will give it or not?" For food?"

"No!"

Du Ye answered directly.

It is impossible for him to give food, because once the food is given, all the efforts will be in vain.At that time, merchants from all over the world will drive up grain prices, and the stability of Jiangyin County will be broken directly.

Liu Jin flicked his sleeves and said: "Boy, you are toasting and not eating fine wine. If that's the case, let's wait and see."

After speaking, he turned and left.

Du Ye's expression was very embarrassing.

He was so angry that his body trembled a little. He was not angry that he had been treated unfairly, but that he was angry with the majestic governor of a state. deal with him.

So disappointing.

Xu Tu looked at Liu Jin's leaving back, he didn't feel worried at all, on the contrary, he felt happy.If Du Ye was just a county magistrate with an ordinary status and no background, then this time he would definitely be picked by the governor of Changzhou.
