Chapter 1197: People gathered outside the Chengdu government office
Outside the Chengdu government office, many people gathered around and looked at the notice that had just been posted.
"Which scholar knows how to read? Read it aloud!"
In this era, there were very few people who could read, so these notices were usually read out by the government or read out by literate scholars!
"I come!"
A scholar in white robes shouted, and then a gap opened in the crowd. The scholar walked directly to the notice. After only a few glances, his expression changed drastically, "What, how is this possible!"
"What happened!"
"What on earth is written above!"
Seeing the scholar's expression, the people around him became even more curious.
The scholar calmed himself down, and then said with an ugly expression, "Everyone, this notice says that our Lord Magistrate has resigned from his official position. Now, Lord Tongpantian will temporarily act as Magistrate!"
"ah!"
"impossible!"
"What?"
As soon as this statement came out, the people immediately exploded!
"Master Shen has done a good job as the governor, why should he resign? Our people are suffering, it is not easy to knock down a good official, and the court has also changed. Do we have to make it impossible for our people to survive?"
"That is, it was Mr. Shen who rescued my old lady from the flood. If it weren't for Mr. Shen, none of our family would have survived!"
"Master Shen is kind to us. I even attended Master Shen's banquet last year!"
It would be an exaggeration to say that Shen Tang's prestige in Chengdu is a god, but in the hearts of the people, Shen Tang is a good official in their eyes!
Although Shen Tang has not been in the Chengdu Prefecture for a long time, he has made the entire Chengdu Prefecture suddenly become clear and clear. The upper and lower officials no longer oppress the people, do not collect taxes and money indiscriminately, and the people can have enough to eat and have their grievances redressed.
To be reasonable is the most basic requirement of the people of the Song Dynasty.
Especially the widowed and lonely people, with Shen Tang's full support, these people can live without worries. Therefore, Shen Tang has a very high status in the hearts of the people.
"Everyone, listen to me!"
An old man shouted, "Master Shen is a good official and our parent official! I don't need to say anything about what our life was like before Master Shen came here."
But now?
We all have full stomachs, and even a loser like me, the old man, can eat several meals of meat every month!"
"We can't let Mr. Shen resign without any explanation!"
"If Mr. Shen is promoted high, then naturally we cannot prevent Mr. Shen from being promoted. But if it is a villain who is causing trouble, then we have to ask the hundreds of thousands of people in Chengdu Prefecture whether they will agree!"
"right!"
"well said!"
The old man waved his hands and continued, "However, we can't just shout randomly, there is no point in doing so! First of all, the more people who know about this matter, the better. Let's immediately notify everyone we know and come to the government office.
Petition before me! We need to ask where Mr. Shen has gone!"
"right!"
"good!"
Afterwards, all the people ran away, and the news of Shen Tang's resignation also spread! People are simple, if you treat them well, he will treat you very well! You can fight to the death for him, and he will treat you very well!
I can give everything for you.
First, it spread to the entire Chengdu Fufu City, and then, the news spread to the surrounding counties! One by one, people came to the Fuyamen and surrounded the entire Fuyamen!
"Master Tian, it's not good!"
The government office was relatively stable. Although the news of Shen Tang's resignation caused quite a stir, everyone quickly calmed down!
A clerk hurriedly ran into the hall. Tian Guanhua frowned, "What happened? Why are you so panicked!"
"Sir, it's not good, we are surrounded by people outside the government office!"
The clerk said out of breath, "At first there were only a few thousand people, but not long after, everyone gathered towards the yamen, and the news even spread to several nearby counties! Now, our government Everything around the Yamen is blocked, tens of thousands of people!"
"They all came here because of Mr. Shen's resignation. They said they wanted to seek justice for Mr. Shen!"
Tian Guanhua looked stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Hey, my Lord Shen, what do you want me to do!"
"Okay, I'll go take a look! Also, arrange for more government officials to guard outside the door to prevent any trouble!"
Tian Guanhua knew that once civil unrest arose, he, the acting magistrate who had just taken office, would probably be taken down by the court, and it would also be detrimental to the people.
"No one should cause disputes with the people, and try to appease them as much as possible!"
After giving the explanation, Tian Guanhua walked towards the outside of the Yamen! When he arrived at the gate of the Yamen, he couldn't help but be shocked!
Outside the entire yamen, the large square and all the surrounding roads were densely packed with people! These people were all sitting quietly, and the darkness was so dense that they didn't make a single sound. But even so, it brought tremendous pressure to people.
"Fellow folks, I am the Acting Magistrate Tian Guanhua. If you have anything to do, you can explain it to me! As long as I can do it, I will definitely not shirk it!"
"We want Master Shen!"
"Give Master Shen back to us!"
Suddenly, a voice suddenly shouted, and then, the sound of shouting like a mountain roaring and a tsunami resounded throughout the sky!
"Fellow folks, please be quiet first, be quiet first, and listen to what I have to say!"
If there is a small number of people, you only need to send out three or five government officials to scold them, and they will all retreat in terror. However, when the number of people reaches a certain level, quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. At this time, let alone a mere prefect, even a prefect Zhao Shen is standing here in person, and he can only compromise first.
This is the saying that water can carry a boat and capsize it! The power of the people is so small that no ruler will care if it is spread out. However, when the power of the people is gathered together, it can produce shocking and terrifying effects. .
"Folks, please calm down first!"
Fortunately, the old man from before helped Tian Guanhua to calm down the people. Otherwise, even if Tian Guanhua shouted at the top of his lungs, he would not be able to appease tens of thousands of people.
"Folks, let the old man find out the reason first!"
The old man said to the people.
Then, he turned to look at Tian Guanhua, "Mr. Tian, this notice said that Mr. Shen has resigned. I don't know if it is true?"
Tian Guanhua wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "But there is such a thing!"
"Then where is Mr. Shen now? Has he been promoted or something?"
Tian Guanhua opened his mouth, not knowing what to do for a moment. Tian Guanhua naturally knew where Shen Tang was going! Not long ago, all the people who belonged to Shen Tang in the yamen said goodbye and left, and Lu Feng also sent him a message. .
However, if Shen Tang goes to the Kingdom of Jin now, how should he face these people now?
What would they think?
If a few more people instigate a few words, who knows what will happen?
