Lord Yu paused and then sat on the edge of the bed and asked, "What do Lord He think of the magistrate of Luoyang County?"
Governor He narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "He~"
He didn't speak for a long time.
Lord Yu then said: "Don't worry Lord He, what you say today will not be spread outside your mouth but into my ears."
Governor He shook his head slightly and said: "That's not the case. I have been sick for too long and it takes time to think of people."
Master Yu looked at Governor He who had clear logic and spoke fairly clearly, and believed that he was the only one who had a ghost.
Mr. Xia didn't believe it either, so he asked directly: "Congratulations, Governor, the magistrate of Luo County was rated low in the examination last year. I don't know why?"
"The year before last," Governor He squinted his eyes and thought for a while, and sighed after a while: "The year before last, Luoyang had a bad year. First there was a drought during spring sowing. The Luo County Magistrate failed to organize the work of water conservancy excavation and irrigation.
People in Gexiang fought over water, killing one person and seriously injuring three others."
This is considered a vicious incident. Normally when something like this happens, the governor will give the local county magistrate a bad evaluation. But Luoyang is Guo County, and everyone can see each other when they look up. As long as the relationship is not too bad, it will usually fall to the middle level.
I will just give an inferior evaluation.
You must know that average means passing, and inferior means failing. If he gets such a rating for two consecutive years, he, the county magistrate, will either be demoted or dismissed directly.
Lord Yu then asked thoughtfully: "Does Governor He not like Magistrate Luo?"
Governor He smiled and continued: "After autumn, the rains increased that year. The wheat was harvested and the rice was still in the fields. I asked the old farmers and they said that the drought in the spring would probably take too much water.
It has accumulated until now, but I have also consulted the experts at Qintian Jianzheng and Xuanduguan, and they both said it doesn't matter, the rain is just coming intermittently, and it will clear up after a while."
"As expected, it rained intermittently. It rained for half a day every day, and the rest of the day was either cloudy or sunny. But it continued like this for seven or eight days in a row. He became afraid. Without informing the state, he directly ordered the people to harvest the harvest.
.”
Master Yu and Master Xia stopped talking. Combined with the inferior evaluation received by Magistrate Luo, we know the outcome of this matter.
Governor He said: "What do the common people know? They just do what the officials tell them to do. Seeing that some landlords are trying to collect money from their homes, Li Zheng informed the county magistrate of the order, so they went to collect it in a noisy manner, even if they risked it.
Even if it rains, the rice will be harvested, and the rice will still be green at that time.”
"It even affected the neighboring county. The county magistrate of the neighboring county sent officials to guard the fields and strictly prohibited people from harvesting, so that the rice in the fields was saved," Governor He said: "It rained intermittently for five more days.
One day, the water in the river stopped when it was almost overflowing, and then the sun shone brightly, shining directly for ten days. The drooping rice quickly turned yellow, and it could be harvested in half a month."
Mr. Yu and Mr. Xia were silent for a long time. They had both been local officials and knew how important the last ten or twenty days of rice were. If there was enough sunshine and no shortage of water, they could grow rice quickly in two decades.
Full, mature, and can weigh twice as much.
"There is only a difference of fifteen to twenty days. The yield per mu of the neighboring county is twice that of Luoyang County. Although generally speaking, Luoyang County can solve this natural and man-made disaster by itself and will not require going to the court, but specifically
I went to every household and found out that because of the early harvest, I don’t know how many people needed to sell their fields, or even their children, to survive this year.”
Therefore, Governor He directly gave him a low-level evaluation and even wrote to the Yushitai and the emperor to complain to him, suggesting that the court change him to a county magistrate.
However, the imperial court had its own procedures and would not completely deny a person just because of a single mistake, so he was not replaced as a county magistrate.
But the next year, Governor He was only willing to give him a moderate evaluation on the grounds that he could not handle the disaster well and could not properly arrange for the people after the disaster.
Governor He did not directly say whether he liked Magistrate Luo, nor did he directly comment on him. Instead, after describing the reasons for criticizing him, he looked at the four adults and asked, "What do you think of Magistrate Luo?"
Mr. Yu and Mr. Xia didn't speak. Doctor Lu just scoffed and said: "You idiot, I am better than him as a county magistrate."
Doctor Xiao Tan tugged on his sleeve and asked him to keep a low profile.
Governor He laughed, leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes slightly.
He talked too much today and was very tired.
Doctor Lu felt his pulse, nodded to a few people, and everyone stood up to say goodbye and leave.
Governor He didn't stop them either.
When they went out, Mrs. He personally led the people to serve them tea and snacks.
Mr. Yu and others quickly stood up and bowed and thanked them. Mrs. He had a very good attitude, especially towards Dr. Lu and Dr. Xiao Tan, with a smile on her face.
After thanking her, she seemed to mention it accidentally, "When my husband just fell ill, Mr. Zheng from the medical department also came to see me. He also said at that time that if his master came, he might be able to cure my husband."
"It's a pity that Dr. Zhou is the pillar of the country and cannot leave the capital. We have never dared to force her to leave the capital. But I heard that she has also arrived in Luoyang recently?"
Master Yu's hand holding the teacup paused and froze slightly. He finally understood why they were able to meet Master He who was seriously ill so smoothly. It turned out that he was also a drunkard and didn't care about drinking.
Mr. Yu and Mr. Xia lowered their heads to drink tea and secretly looked at Dr. Lu.
Dr. Lu:...
Seeing that they were both silent, Dr. Xiao Tan feared that the situation would be awkward if he waited any longer, so he quickly said: "Mr. Zhou is currently in Prince Gong's palace. How about this? I'll discuss it with Dr. Zhou first to see if she can spare time. If so,
, we will visit again."
Mrs. He immediately said gratefully: "Thank you so much, sir."
She pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said: "I also know that my master's illness is incurable, and I didn't expect him to be cured. I just wanted him to feel relaxed and better. The adults saw him today.
Okay, but I don’t know that he usually, especially at night, is in pain all night long and can’t sleep at all..."
Master Yu sighed when he heard this and said: "We will try our best to invite Imperial Physician Zhou to come and take a look. But Madam also knows that Imperial Physician Zhou has a sacred mandate to come here. I don't know if she can spare the time to come here."
ensure."
Mrs. He said she understood, and she sent the four of them out enthusiastically, and even gave medical doctors Lu and Xiao Tan money for consultation.
However, both of them declined, and when they returned to the medical office, Master Yu still sent someone to Prince Gong's Mansion to deliver the letter.
The next day, Zhou Man found an excuse to sneak out and spent the whole day with Prince Gong to lose weight. She was also very tired, okay?
When she heard that he was treating people, she didn't mind. She turned to Doctor Lu and asked, "What's his disease?"
Dr. Lu said: "The accumulation should be in the stomach."
Doctor Xiao Tan on the side said: "It is also called gastric reflux. It is basically hopeless, but it is indeed uncomfortable. When we went there, he endured the pain and talked to us. His Majesty had sent Doctor Shi here before.
Look, the He family should also know that this disease cannot be cured, and all they want is for Governor He to feel better during the remaining time."
