Chapter 538: There is always a turning point

Magistrate Sha immediately sat down and said, "Pingcheng has now accommodated 67,300 and 72 victims, and they have all been properly resettled."

For a main city, more than 60,000 people are pitifully small, and one person can be accommodated in one house. However, as long as there is news that the victims will be resettled in Pingcheng, the number of people will continue to increase indefinitely.

Don’t forget, there are three continents in the south that are all disaster areas.

We are short of silver, food and everything else, but there is no shortage of disaster victims who can stay far away.

Qi Baoer asked again: "Is everything in the city defense in place?"

Zhifu Sha was originally the prefect of Pingcheng. In the past, there were wealthy families with some influence in the city, and he was able to manage Pingcheng very well. Now that these interferences are gone, Qi Baoer and the others naturally don't have to worry.

he.

The only problem is that Muzhou's garrison is outside Mucheng, and the main defense forces in the other two cities are local government officials. This is what Pingcheng is most in need of and urgently needs now.

Sure enough, Magistrate Sha looked troubled. Pingcheng was the main city. According to the rules of the court, there could be 120 yamen servants, 80 of whom were yamen servants and soldiers. The chief was responsible for the city defense.

These eighty people must be carefully selected. Firstly, they must have certain skills, and secondly, they must have a clean financial background.

But this time when the victims of the disaster in Pingcheng became violent, it was one of these eighty people who was killed by the housemaid, and it was also these eighty people who were wiped out.

"Xiaguan has been recruiting new residents urgently, but not many meet the conditions."

It is not difficult to find skilled people. There are more than a hundred bodyguards among the victims, and there are also hunters and farmers who are also somewhat skilled.

However, after the city defense officials came out to do this, the prefect Sha investigated the new city defense officials more carefully, and the victims were all from other places outside Pingcheng, so it was not so easy to guarantee their innocence.

Therefore, Pingcheng's city defense officials now only recruit less than twenty people, and half of them are from Pingcheng, or were introduced by Cui Biaotou as a guarantee.

However, Magistrate Sha also heard Princess Anle's intention and specifically asked about the city's defense officials. This shows that Princess Anle was anxious to ensure the safety of Pingcheng and was also eager to leave.

After thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand that Princess Anle and the others are not here for Pingcheng. They are here for the entire southern disaster-stricken area. Pingcheng is just a passerby in it. Naturally, if they are dealt with early, they can go to the next place early.

He immediately stood up and said in panic: "Sir, this matter will be resolved as soon as possible."

Qi Bao'er knew that he had misunderstood, and was too lazy to explain. After gesturing for him to sit down, he told everyone about the earthquake.

When there were no people in the place, Qi Baoer and the others took the opportunity to solve the hidden dangers. But there were no places where there were people. They were not here to help people wipe their butts. Every place has its own person in charge. They are

Not free?

Finally, Qi Baoer directly ordered the other county magistrates, except Yang Yiqiu, the former magistrate of Pingbei County, to return as soon as possible.

Of course, we have been helping people in Pingcheng for so long, so we can’t help but give them some benefits.

First, let Magistrate Sha distribute the disaster relief money and food for them to take back;

Second, Qi Baoer made a post-disaster reconstruction plan, and they can just follow the plan and tell the truth after they return;

Third, the six county magistrates, except Yang Yiqiu, who passed the Jinshi examination and was assigned to the eighth-grade county magistrate by the court, the others are all ninth-grade county magistrates who came from the local area where they were born.

[In the Qilin Kingdom, it is not that those who have not participated in the examination cannot become officials. They can be recommended by local people and squires. However, such officials are basically capped when they reach the ninth rank, unless they have made a huge contribution to the court.

The emperor was particularly merciful.

In other words, if the five county magistrates do not have special opportunities, they can only spend their entire lives serving as ninth-grade county magistrates in the places where they are currently serving as officials.

This is also the main reason why as soon as they heard that there was something going on in Pingcheng and that the imperial envoy was in Pingcheng, they all rushed over as quickly as possible. Except for a few female relatives, they did not bother with other people's affairs and only tried their best to express themselves.

Because everyone knows that no matter how high one's own fame is, it is impossible to climb high. Being transferred from the county seat to the capital city is already a huge opportunity. Therefore, they not only want to show off to the imperial envoy, but also want to show the real achievements to the capital city.

Master Shazhifu looks at it.

But Magistrate Sha doesn’t like the flashy officialdom, he likes people who do practical things.]

So these people's luck has come, and what Qi Bao'er likes is the people who do practical things.

She doesn't have the right to give them big benefits, but with the token of 'like the emperor's presence', she still has the right to give everyone a first-class title, and it will not lead to the impeachment of the ministers in the capital.

Each county magistrate did not expect such a big surprise to hit their heads, and they were all so excited that they could not kneel down to express gratitude.

Don't underestimate this small thing. The monthly salary for one month has only changed from twelve taels to twelve taels. The other benefits are the same but only a few more. However, this is a Tianze that they could not jump over in this life.

.

Originally, everything was developing for the better, the officials were doing practical things, and Qi Bao'er and the others were relieved; the officials were worry-free, and Qi Bao'er was also generous; hello, I'm good!

Unexpectedly, everyone was so happy that as soon as they walked out of the study room, a girl with half-dressed clothes broke through the guards and knelt down in front of everyone.

"Please sir, let the daughter of the people make the decision."

At first, Qi Bao'er didn't realize who this person was. After the woman finished speaking and raised her head to reveal her pretty face, she finally found out the identity of this person in her mind.

He turned to look at Magistrate Ji of Pingxi County.

At the same time, Magistrate Sha and other county magistrates also looked at Magistrate Ji with either inquiry, contempt or understanding.

The somewhat chubby Magistrate Ji broke out in a cold sweat when he saw that the person who came was his little daughter. Then he was looked at with the princess's emotionless eyes, and his colleagues looked at him strangely, and he suddenly felt a surge of anger.

heart.

He rushed forward and wanted to pull his youngest daughter off. Because everyone was watching, he couldn't get angry at his little daughter at this time, so he could only suppress his anger and grit his teeth and shouted:

"What are you causing trouble here? Why don't you go back quickly?"

Then he turned around and tremblingly apologized to Qi Baoer: "Sir, there is something wrong with this daughter of Xiaguan. I will take her back right away."

Jimier became anxious when she heard this. If everyone believed her father's words, not only would her plan not come true today, but she would also be regarded as a mentally ill lunatic. And what kind of good family would marry a lunatic?

It seemed that her father's love for her was all fake.

Fortunately, she never believed that her father would find a good family for her. If she wanted to get ahead, she still had to rely on her own plans.

With all his strength, he pulled away Magistrate Ji who was holding her arm, and threw himself in front of Qi Bao'er, lying on the ground and crying sadly:

"Sir, although the daughter of the common people is a commoner, she is also the daughter of a pure white family. Prince Li, Prince Li actually..."

Oh, these unfinished words leave so much room for imagination.
