The speaker was Uncle Lu. The backstage of Uncle Lu and Magistrate Wen were not from the same faction. During the previous tour to the south, his son-in-law was in trouble because of some mistakes. Uncle Lu was not in a good mood at first.
, seeing the prosperous appearance of Dingnanzhou, I felt extremely uncomfortable, and couldn't help but wonder if Governor Wen was engaging in an image project?
The common people looked around and saw that they were covered with new cotton cloth. How could this be possible? Dingnanzhou must be a prosperous place like the capital city? It's not like he had never been to Dingnanzhou. I'm afraid that the prefect Wen sent the goods in advance.
After collecting the money, he went down and asked the welcoming people to put on new clothes.
So Uncle Lu couldn't help but "trouble". He had to let the emperor know the true face of Magistrate Wen!
Magistrate Wen is right, he knows very well that the people of Dingnanzhou are rich now!
Speaking of which, Magistrate Wen has been the magistrate for six years. Thanks to Su Yueling, he has been excellent in the assessments over the years. His mentor has got along well with him. If nothing else, he will be promoted this year and take a step further.
He stroked his beard and smiled calmly, "I understand that my uncle rarely encounters such things, so naturally he can't imagine it. Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean that others can't do it."
Uncle Lu was aroused by these words. He was about to say something when he heard Su Yueling say: "Fake things can't be true. I believe that Magistrate Wen is not the kind of person who commits fraud."
In general, Magistrate Wen is quite competent. The White Lotus Sect is here to secretly promote the liberation of women. Seeing that this is beneficial to people's lives, Magistrate Wen does not stop it, and even provides more help.
Uncle Lu opened his mouth, and just as he was about to spit it back, his friend quickly pulled at his sleeve.
Mr. Lu swallowed the words abruptly - his feverish brain cooled down a little. Speaking of Dingnanzhou, it was the fiefdom of Princess Wei. It is no wonder that the princess, who has always been uninvolved in political affairs, would speak for Magistrate Wen. Wei
He really can't afford to offend the princess.
He said: "I am just worried that Your Majesty, Your Highness and others will be deceived."
Princess Wei hasn't come back for several years, so it's normal to be deceived.
Yuan Suijun said: "Without investigation, you have no right to speak." This was what he once heard Su Yueling say, and he thought it was very reasonable. "Unfounded and groundless doubts will only make you look stupid."
Uncle Lu's words directly made the people around him dissatisfied.
Is this nobleman from the capital suspicious of them?
The angry people immediately scolded him.
"You are the one who is committing fraud. Your whole family is committing fraud! Do we think Nanzhou needs to commit such fraud?"
"Are you looking down on us? If not, come to our house and have a look! Why don't you allow us to get rich in the past few years?"
"That's right, it's my uncle who doesn't have any knowledge at all."
They dared to say it directly. On the one hand, it was because they were suspected and they felt dissatisfied. On the other hand, it was also because of the existence of Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun. These two people were from Dingnanzhou, so they must be on their side. Uncle.
It is indeed very powerful, but can it be more powerful than the princess and the king?
Mr. Lu became even more angry when the people he looked down upon pointed at him and said he was ignorant.
But Su Yueling was still smiling like a flower, "Well said, we are worthy of being from Dingnanzhou, we have the backbone."
Uncle Lu was even more aggrieved.
Emperor Rong Ji glanced at Uncle Lu, "Did Gong Liang drink too much? He started talking nonsense."
Gongliang is Lu Boye’s character.
The emperor's words clearly concluded the matter.
No matter whether Magistrate Wen is making superficial remarks or not, the spirit of the people is not fake. Their clothes can be borrowed and bought new, but the high spirit and the flesh on their bodies cannot be maintained in a short time.
came out. It can be seen that the life of the people under the rule of Magistrate Wen is not bad.
Uncle Lu, because of his own petty thoughts, insisted on making something out of nothing at this time.
Rong Ji had already made a note for him in his heart.
Naturally, Uncle Lu also saw the displeasure hidden in the Emperor's calm voice, and began to regret it. He reached out and slapped his own mouth, and said: "I am in a state of disbelief after drinking."
He quickly retreated.
Rong Ji also knew that although Mr. Lu was talking nonsense, there were people who took it to heart and really had such thoughts.
He changed his mind and said: "When I was young, I once had a dish of wine-boiled fish from Rizhuang. The taste has always lingered in my heart. I wonder if the taste of the wine-boiled fish has changed after more than ten years."
"Why don't we go to Rizhuang today?"
Every time they go to a place, the local officials will prepare a mansion in advance. Generally speaking, they live in a mansion in the state capital. But because Guangning County is Su Yueling's base camp, and Su Yueling has a big building in his hometown.
house, so the southern tour stop in Dingnanzhou was in Guangning County.
The emperor suddenly made a stroke of genius. He wanted to go to Rizhuang first, and he was immediately blinded by the local officials.
Nothing has been prepared at the Rizhuang today. If the Emperor and the Queen Mother are neglected, their ten heads will not be enough.
Magistrate Wen was almost sweating and said: "Your Majesty, there is no house suitable for staying in Rizhuang."
The emperor said indifferently: "If not, I will stay with the local people." He said that he was not picky.
At this time, Su Yueling also remembered that she had Zhuangzi over at Rizhuang, and Zhuangzi's servants would clean it up every once in a while. If it had passed, her big Zhuangzi could still barely contain the royal ones. As for the other officials who followed them
, they can find a place to live by themselves.
She said: "I have a village over there. If the emperor doesn't mind, you can stay there for a day or two."
Rong Ji immediately said: "That's it!"
"I also want to see the real life of the people in Dingnan Prefecture."
He knew that his sudden raid would put a lot of pressure on the local officials. It was impossible for them to guess in advance that he was going to Rizhuang, and it was even less possible for them to arrange for the people in Rizhuang to perform in advance, and there was no possibility of fraud.
The other officials looked at Magistrate Wen with sympathetic eyes. They had never heard of Rizhuang. The most famous place in Dingnan Prefecture was undoubtedly Guangning County, where Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun lived.
In such an unknown place, I'm afraid the people's lives are not very good.
Magistrate Wen was tricked by Uncle Lu.
Uncle Lu, who had retreated to the side, felt much better. He was gloating and waiting for Magistrate Wen to show his true colors. If the gap between Rizhuang and the prefecture was too big, Magistrate Wen would probably have to wear his hat.
Unstable. He didn't believe that Dingnan Prefecture was really so wealthy. How could it have changed so much in just a few years?
It must be fake!
Seeing that the emperor was determined to go there, Magistrate Wen had no choice but to obey.
As for the focused looks from other officials, he pretended not to notice them.
What does he have to be afraid of?
Rizhuang is the most prosperous place in Dingnan Prefecture after Guangning County and the state capital.
