Governor Yu looked back on his horse and glanced at Bai Shan, who was last. Then he turned to Tang He and smiled and said, "The people Mr. Tang brought here are indeed not in vain. I admire you."
Tang He smiled and said: "Yu, the governor, is ridiculously complimentary."
Governor Yu smiled slightly and deliberately pulled his horse a little behind. When Bai Shan came up, he asked him, "Master Bai, have you ever thought about moving to another place? There are still many vacancies in my governor's house. Although they are not as noble as those in the capital,
But the grade won’t be very low.”
The only official positions in the governor's office that are not lower than his current level are Chang Shi and Sima.
Chang Shi already has someone, let him become a Sima?
Bai Shan twitched the corner of his mouth and declined.
Master Tang smiled and said: "Master Yu, I'm still here, why don't you poach my people in front of me?"
Governor Yu smiled and said: "Master Tang, Master Bai is only following you temporarily. It can be as short as ten days or as long as one month. He is no longer your subordinate. How can I not snatch him away?"
There's no point in trying to rob him. Bai Shan doesn't even look down on the magistrate of Wannian County, let alone come to Qizhou to serve him as Sima and Chief Historian.
Zhu's house is a bit far away, but they will arrive soon.
Someone has been paying attention to the situation on the farm. As soon as the tenants were calmed down, someone quietly rushed back to report the news.
It was someone whom the governor and the Tang Dynasty specifically let go.
Therefore, after arriving at the Zhu family, they successfully met the eldest man of the Zhu family.
Well, the Zhu family is having a funeral today.
The mourning hall for the second master of the Zhu family was arranged in the lobby. Governor Yu walked in without changing his expression, and even held incense and offered three sticks of incense to the family.
The Zhu family stared at him with red eyes, but the eldest son of the Zhu family only looked sad but calm.
Governor Yu put the incense in it and put it aside. Mr. Tang took Bai Shan forward and also offered a stick of incense.
Then they looked at Mr. Zhu and said, "Mr. Zhu, today we bought the official land for redemption."
Mr. Zhu wanted to speak, but Mr. Tang raised his hand slightly to stop him and said first: "Master Zhu also knows that we came from the capital to inspect. We don't have much time and can't afford to delay, so we will talk today.
How about we talk about it?”
Liang Yushi said coldly: "It has been twenty-three days since the imperial notice was announced. I think the Zhu family has been prepared for it for a long time. Today, the governor is here, and the subordinate officials in charge of the official household department in the governor's mansion are also here. We will do it on the spot."
It can cut knots, so it won’t delay Mr. Zhu too long.”
Mr. Zhu said: "Measuring the land also takes time..."
Ren Yushi took out a roll of paper and said, "No need. I investigated it last time when I came to Qizhou. We know how much official land there is, and I think Master Zhu also knows it well."
Mr. Zhu forced a smile and said, "Yes."
He turned around and took them to the side yard, asking the butler to find the land deed and accounting room.
Tang He stood in the yard and watched, smiled slightly, and said to Governor Yu: "When we came to Qizhou, the first day we came was the Zhu family, but unfortunately we were rejected because the master's family was not here. We
When I went to visit the tenants on the farm, I was stopped before I even entered the village, and they almost got into a fight, and finally had to leave."
Yu Cishi said: "Master Tang acted too softly."
Tang He smiled slightly and did not defend himself.
With different identities and different positions, the consequences they can bear are naturally different.
He is a capital official. If he acts too forcefully and angers the people of Qizhou, once they riot, many people will die and many crops will be destroyed.
Not to be compared to the governor, he is the parent official of the entire Qizhou. Parents have a natural advantage in disciplining their children.
Seeing that the Zhu family had taken out the land deed, Tang He clapped his hands gently, and the Imperial Army guards carried boxes of money from the car and opened them in front of everyone.
In one day, they redeemed all the three plots of land totaling eight hectares that the Zhu family had bought from the governor's mansion.
Then they dropped two subordinate officials directly into the tenant village and asked them to stay with the tenants to handle the lease contract for the coming year, which could last for up to three years.
This news quickly spread from this area, blowing through every village along the summer wind, so the tenant farmers in other places did not need to waste their words. Bai Shan only needed to go up and preach, ensuring that they and the Zhu family's
After receiving the same treatment as the tenants, they honestly stated that they would not cause trouble.
With the support of Governor Yu, the God of Killing, their redemption work went particularly smoothly.
But Governor Yu also valued Bai Shan more and more.
Governor Yu excitedly said to his lieutenant: "Did you see, in the same paragraph, I said the effect is different from Bai Shan's."
Lieutenant General: ... His feelings would be different. If Bai Shan told him with a smile that he would be promoted and raised his salary, his eyes would light up; if an adult said so...
As long as he thinks about whether the adults will smile or not, and tell him with cold eyes that they want to promote him and raise his salary, he just wants to kneel down and beg for mercy.
Governor Yu touched his short beard and sighed, "It's a pity that he has no intention of coming to Qizhou. Otherwise, my colleagues and I would take him out in the future. How much trouble would that save?"
The deputy general said: "Sir, I have inquired with the Imperial Guards from the capital. This Lord Bai is favored in the capital. He was promoted to Zhongshu Province only a year after entering the court, and he is also the companion of His Highness the Crown Prince. I heard that
He is also trusted by His Majesty the Crown Prince and is a popular figure among His Majesty and His Highness."
Governor Yu: "So we were fooled by Tang He, and we thought he really made the promise carelessly."
"Aren't you angry then?"
"Why are you angry? The people under my rule will also benefit from this matter. If the people under my rule benefit, then I will benefit. However, I still want to keep him. I will give His Majesty a deal later."
It was impossible for the emperor to agree to him.
What Bai Shan wanted to do was to go to a place far away from the Emperor. The Emperor also wanted to see what achievements he could make in a place with less control.
Naturally, he would not be released to Qizhou.
So I gave him a direct no.
Before Bai Shan left Qizhou, he learned about this from Governor Yu who was drunk and held his hand reluctantly. He breathed a big sigh of relief and then thanked Governor Yu for his kindness.
Bai Shan and Tang He watched people loading the boxes on the carriage, and Governor Yu came to see them off. They laughed and said: "Qizhou is not very far from the capital. Brother Tang and Brother Bai, come to Qizhou to see me when you have time."
, I’ll treat you to wine and meat.”
Tang He smiled and said: "Master Yu, why don't you go to the capital to find us?"
"How can I enter Beijing casually?"
Tang He immediately said: "I, the Young Master of Jingzhao Mansion, cannot leave Beijing casually."
Governor Yu thought so, so he looked at Bai Shan.
Bai Shan is really good, his identity is not as sensitive as the two of them, but... he doesn't want to come.
However, Bai Shan still raised a smile and said, "Okay, if I come to Qizhou, I will definitely find you."
