The people in Suzhou were so reluctant to part with Zhu Pingan that Zhu Pingan's throat almost started to smoke, but he still failed to persuade the people blocking the road.
In the end, a passerby called out to Zhu Ping'an, "Don't stop me, please hurry up and let Mr. Zhu take office. With Mr. Zhu's ability, isn't it as simple as eating and drinking to make meritorious service after taking office? Mr. Zhu is already
Now that you have become the governor of Zhejiang, won’t your Excellency be able to be promoted to the position of Governor of Jiangnan if you make some merits after taking office? At that time, won’t Mr. Zhu be our parent official again?!”
This sentence suddenly moved the people who were blocking the road.
"Yes, with Mr. Zhu's ability and ability, you can easily catch him if you perform meritorious service. If you get promoted, you can become the governor of Jiangnan."
"Everyone, please give way. Don't delay Sir Zhu from doing meritorious service. There are so many Japanese pirates in Zhejiang. Why worry about Sir Zhu not doing meritorious service. If you delay Sir Zhu for another quarter of an hour, it will be a quarter of an hour later for Sir Zhu to perform meritorious service, and it will be a quarter of an hour later for him to become the governor of Jiangnan."
"Everyone, please give way. Don't make it difficult for Mr. Zhu. This is the emperor's order. If you block the way again, Mr. Zhu will disobey the imperial edict. If the blame comes from above, isn't it our great benefactor Mr. Zhu who is unlucky?!"
"Everyone, please give way."
Many people spoke up, and slowly the crowded crowd emerged into a road just large enough for carriages to pass.
"My lord, you can take office. Let's eat these food on the way."
"This is an old hen we raise at home. The stew is the most fragrant. Adults, please take it home and make the stew and drink it."
"Sir, if you don't take it, do you dislike us?!"
Although they gave way, the enthusiastic people pushed the things in their hands towards Zhu Pingan.
So enthusiastic.
Everyone wants to stuff their things into Zhu Pingan's arms, and everyone has enthusiasm and reasons that cannot be refused.
Zhu Ping'an walked towards a white-haired old woman and took the chipped ceramic bowl in her hand.
Then, he received a piece of cooking cake from an old man, took a bite of the cooking cake and drank a sip of water.
Soon, a cooking cake and a bowl of water were drained.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, you are the parents of a certain family. After eating this cake and drinking this bowl of water, I have swallowed all your thoughts in my stomach. It is enough. When I go to Zhejiang, I will definitely not lose the face of you Suzhou elders.
.”
Zhu Pingan wiped his mouth, returned the bowl to the old lady, raised his hands and said loudly to the people.
Zhu Ping'an took the initiative to drink a bowl of water and eat a piece of cake, which coincided with his calling the people the parents of food and clothing.
In this way, it will be easier for the people to accept the specialties that they are enthusiastic about.
"You don't need anything, but this Wanmin Umbrella is our heartfelt wish. Master Zhu, you must accept it."
"And ours."
"our"
When Zhu Ping'an finally set off again, several carriages contained nearly a hundred Wanmin umbrellas tied with strips of people's names.
"Keke, brother Zhu, you can make a fortune by selling umbrellas." In the carriage, Li Shu couldn't help but chuckle.
"It's really hard to refuse such kindness. What should we do with so many umbrellas?" Zhu Pingan put his hand on his forehead, his head getting bigger.
"Gee, when someone leaves office, they are afraid that they will not be able to get the Wanmin Umbrella. They will not even leave without receiving the Wanmin Umbrella. They will not give up until they receive the Wanmin Umbrella. Or they may even hire someone to get a few Wanmin Umbrellas."
Ren, you're better off. There are so many umbrellas for all people that I have to worry about how to deal with them. It's true that a full man doesn't know what a hungry man is hungry for."
Li Shujiao smiled and joked.
"We might as well go to Shaoxing, untie the cloth and give it to the people anonymously. It would be effective."
Zhu Pingan smiled bitterly.
"Miss, is it true that there are people who can't even receive a Wanmin Umbrella? Then they haven't done a single good thing."
Hua'er asked curiously.
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an had collected so many Wanmin Umbrellas, he thought that Wanmin Umbrellas were easy to obtain. Unexpectedly, there were officials who couldn't even receive a Wanmin Umbrella. He couldn't help being surprised and asked curiously.
"Do you think the Umbrella of All People is so good?! Of course, there are people who cannot receive the Umbrella of All Peoples. Most of them are corrupt officials who cannot receive even one. Even stupid and mediocre officials cannot receive one of the Umbrellas of All Peoples. The common people have a feeling in their hearts.
The pole said that only a good official who benefits a country during his term of office can receive the Umbrella from the common people."
Li Shu looked through the gap in the car window at the reluctant people chasing the carriage to see them off, and said slowly.
"If it were me, I wouldn't give them the Wanmin Umbrella. If they don't do good things, I wouldn't throw them rotten eggs."
Paintings are quite empathetic.
"The common people didn't dare to throw rotten eggs at them in front of them, but when they left, they often beat gongs, drums and set off firecrackers to celebrate. In ancient times, when a corrupt magistrate left office and did all the good and bad things, the common people couldn't help it, so they
I gave him a plaque with the words 'The sky is three feet high' and gave it to the corrupt magistrate."
Li Shu told Hua'er a story about a corrupt official who left office in ancient times.
"Ah? He has done all the good things and done all the bad things. Why do you still give him a favor? The sky is three feet high, and you praise him for being taller than the sky. It's really a good deal for him."
After Hua'er heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily that he thought it was too cheap for the common people to give bribes to corrupt officials.
"Gee, the corrupt official and the county magistrate received a compliment. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time. He also felt that this was the people's praise for him. He said that during his term of office, the sky was three feet taller. Isn't this a compliment for his good governance? So
, on his way out of office, he carried it out to show off to everyone he met. After he took office, he even hung it outside the new government office and draped it in red silk. What was strange to him was that many people covered their mouths when they saw his plaque.
Laugh, when she met those people who were not laughing, they even whispered to each other, and then those people who were not laughing at first covered their mouths and laughed." Li Shu looked at the confused Hua'er, covered her mouth and smiled.
Next lecture.
"Ah? Yes, why does everyone laugh when they see his face?" Hua'er scratched his head in confusion.
"Giggle, that corrupt magistrate is just like you, he is also scratching his head." Li Shu couldn't stop giggling.
"Miss, tell me quickly, does that Bian have anything to say?" Hua'er was as curious as a cat scratching its heart.
"Miss, I can't figure out what the deep meaning of that Bian is." Qin'er was also puzzled.
"Stupid, the sky is three feet high. Why is the sky three feet high? Isn't it because the local land was taken away by the corrupt magistrate? Doesn't this mean that the sky is three feet high? The local people
It's to ridicule him." Li Shu explained.
"Oh, it turns out that's it. Geez, that corrupt official didn't know that he was being ridiculed, yet he showed off his weakness to everyone. It's really embarrassing. Also, miss, did he know in the end?"
After hearing the explanation, Hua'er couldn't help but giggle too, and finally asked the corrupt official with concern if he knew.
"I know, it was his newly recruited master who told him half a month later. He smashed the plaque and set it on fire. But it was too late. The people in the city knew that he was a greedy and stupid corrupt official."
Li Shu said with a smile.
"You deserve it, cluck." There was joy in the carriage.
