Chapter 861: The wealthy family, Shen Tang's question
Chapter 861: A wealthy family, questions about Shen Tang
"Hey, our prefect, do you think we are the same as other corrupt officials?
It would be a bad thing if I gave you a gift! Don’t worry, the prefect is fair-minded. As long as I do my best in the government office, you will naturally value me!"
"As for the other silver coins, I don't need them for the time being! If they are useful, I will just ask my wife to get them."
"This..." the woman thought for a while, took out the smallest piece of it, and put the rest under the box, "Okay! Since I have money, I will first spend my mother's medicine money on the drug store tomorrow. paid."
Li Tairan nodded, then glanced towards the back room, "Mom is already asleep?"
"Well! Mom is feeling much better today. During the day, she even helped clean up the yard. I was afraid that she would be tired, so I let her go back to the house.
Just now, I cooked porridge, and after my mother ate it, she went to bed first."
"I am really lucky to have a good wife like my wife!"
Li Tairan said with a grin.
The woman rolled her eyes at him, then turned around and put on her apron, "Since you invited Uncle Wang to drink, I'll get two more chickens and make them for you!"
Seeing his wife busy at the side, Li Tairan just felt extremely comfortable! These days have been the happiest days since he became an official! Everyone in the yamen goes his own way, no longer fighting each other all day long, and there are less things like flying and fighting! And life at home is getting better. In his opinion, this is what a fairy-like life is like!
As for his wife's transformation, Li Tairan understood it even more.
His wife is not a person who covets wealth, otherwise she would not have stayed with him despite being poor for so many years.
However, the pressure and trivial things in life are enough to make people anxious and even more angry.
But now that life is getting better, I think the happiness at home has just begun!
The next morning, Li Tairan woke up very early as before! The woman had already been busy in the courtyard, and he took out the medicine that his wife had cooked from the pot and gave it to her to eat first!
After I took the medicine, the woman also made arrangements to eat!
On the table, there are a few leftover dishes from yesterday, as well as newly cooked rice porridge!
The four members of the family were slurping down the porridge, and the child was chewing the remaining chicken rack until his mouth was full of oil!
After a while, after eating and drinking enough, Li Tairan stood up and said, "Mom, I'm going to go to work first! You take good care of me at home!"
The old lady nodded, "Do your job well. I will help Goudan'er Niang take care of things at home, so you can rest assured!"
"Madam, someone will send my Lumi back later.
You can use the rice directly to return it to Uncle Wang's family first! You will keep enough for the family's food, and use the rest to put on a few feet of new cloth, and let Aunt Wang help sew some new clothes for you, mother and baby!"
"My clothes are still new, and even Goudaner can wear them! Now I'm sewing them, and I have to make clothes again next year! I'll dress my mother up first!"
Looking at his wife's washed white clothes, Li Tairan couldn't help but feel a little sad, "Okay, in a few days, the yamen will distribute some winter cotton, I will always give it to you, and then I will make it for you Winter coat!”
After saying that, Li Tairan turned around and left the house! His steps were brisk because he could see hope...
After entering the government office and looking at his busy colleagues, Li Tairan felt happy! This is the government office he imagined! Serving the country and asking for orders for the people! Moreover, he does not have to worry about being excluded and suppressed by others.
"Governor Li, your Lumi totaling five stones has been allocated to your household. Will you go and collect it in person, or will your brothers send it directly to your home?"
A government official came forward.
Li Tairan held up his hands and said, "Brothers, please help me send him home! I'll treat you to a drink some other day!"
"Okay, don't worry!"
Li Tairan is the governor of the prefecture and an official subordinate to the prefecture! Therefore, his office is located in a small room on the side of the lobby!
As soon as he entered the house, he saw Lu Feng walking in with a smile!
"Master Lu, is there something wrong?"
Li Tairan stood up and saluted. Although Lu Feng only used the name of a master, who in the government office didn't know that he was a confidant of the prefect?
Even Judge Tian Tong was polite to Lu Feng.
"Master Li, it's the prefect who invites you!"
Lu Feng smiled.
"oh?"
Li Tairan was a little surprised, but he quickly followed Lu Feng and walked out of the room!
It has been more than ten days since Shen Tang woke up, and the injuries on his body have already healed a lot! However, due to the obstruction of several women, Shen Tang can only rest for a few more days. Fortunately, there is no major incident in the government office now. , plus the first batch of food has also been shipped.
Therefore, Shen Tang did not go against the good intentions of the girls and basically stayed in the backyard!
"Governor Li Tairan has met the prefect!"
Entering the study, Li Tairan saluted solemnly!
What Shen Tang did was worthy of his respect!
"sit!"
Shen Tang pointed to the seat next to him!
After Li Tairan sat down, Shen Tang asked with a smile, "Can you cope with the errands in the government office these days?"
"Adapt! Even if you are a bit unfamiliar, you will still have colleagues to help you!"
Li Tairan said respectfully.
After a few brief inquiries, Shen Tang suddenly said, "What do you think of the Hui Ran case?"
"Your Majesty is dedicated to serving the people and punishing corruption. This is the great fortune of Chengdu Prefecture!"
"Haha, do you really think so?
Are there no shortcomings?"
Shen Tang asked with a smile.
Li Tairan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty thinks that your Excellency did not investigate and deal with it enough! Many people in the Chengdu Mansion were involved in this case. Although Your Majesty punished the evil leader, others did not." Not dealt with!”
"What would you do if this case was handed over to you?"
Seeing that Shen Tang was not angry, Li Tairan plucked up the courage and said, "I will enforce the law impartially. All those who have anything to do with this will be investigated and an explanation will be given to the court and the people!"
"good!"
Shen Tang patted Li Tairan on the shoulder, "However, there are some things that cannot be done willfully! I am afraid that it is related to this matter, and there is a high probability that everyone in the government office will be arrested! If everyone in the government office is arrested, So, what should we do next?”
Li Tairan thought for a while, "Send a report to the court and ask the court to re-send officials!"
"Then, how can you guarantee that the newly appointed officials will not be corrupt?"
Shen Tang asked back!
"You were an official in other places before, so how was the administration in the place where you were?
Do you think that if the many state and county officials in the Song Dynasty were strictly investigated, how many officials would be completely innocent?
If they are guilty and everyone is arrested, how should the whole court and various places be controlled?"
Li Tairan was stunned by Shen Tang's words and was impressed by what he heard. He had some understanding of the officialdom of the Song Dynasty.
However, as Shen Tang said, if all officials are arrested, is that the solution?
"Don't rush!"
Shen Tang patted him on the shoulder again, "Go ahead and tell me when you have figured out this question and come up with your own answer."
