The magistrate of Weixian County is back, and the businesses that Wang Xian has prepared long ago can be opened.
In July, Fuyang County Grain Company, Fuyang County Salt Company, Fuyang Silk Chamber of Commerce, Fuyang Paper Chamber of Commerce, and Fuyang Tea Chamber of Commerce opened one after another.
Unexpectedly, the dignified Magistrate Wei personally cut the ribbons for these five businesses and chambers of commerce and delivered speeches.
Although merchants and businesses were of low status in the Ming Dynasty, it seemed to be beneath the dignity of the county magistrate to attend such an event. However, the specific situation needs to be treated on a case-by-case basis.
The county grain account played a major role in this grain shortage and even saved the entire Zhejiang Province. Even Zheng Fangbo personally inscribed the name of the store and sent it to Fuyang to express his congratulations.
Congratulations and thanks, do you think Magistrate Wei can not be present?
As for the county salt industry, it is a good policy that has greatly reduced the price of salt in the county. Of course, Weizhi County will also show up. There are also silk, paper and tea industries, which are the key to the county's salt price.
There are three pillar industries in the county. Only when these three industries are prosperous can the people live a good life. Therefore, in Fuyang, a city with a heavy business tradition
In the local area, Wei Zhixian's actions were not unexpected.
But for Weizhi County itself, this is nothing less than a huge change, as he said in his speech at the opening ceremony of the county grain account:
"Needless to say, I originally thought that businessmen were seeking profits and business harmed farmers, so I had a lot of prejudice against businessmen and business. But this time of the great disaster in Zhejiang Province,
During the food shortage in Fuyang, I was very touched by the performance of the businessmen, and the role of commerce was also fully demonstrated. It can be said that without the contribution of businessmen, there would be no
Due to the existence of commerce, rice from Huguang cannot be transported to Zhejiang, and a great famine is inevitable, and it is inevitable that most of the people will be bankrupt and unemployed."
"Now I understand that our lives are inseparable from business and commerce. Businessmen and commerce are not bad things. The key is the human heart.
, If businessmen’s hearts are broken, business will harm the people. On the contrary, if businessmen are benevolent and righteous, business will benefit the people! The establishment of this county grain account
, is to stabilize the price of food in Fuyang, so that my fellow villagers can eat affordable rice. This is a great merit and good deed. Such businessmen and businesses are noble!
It is worthy of respect! The palace will also provide great support!"
Listening to Wei Zhixian's heartfelt words, the Zhou grain merchants, Qian grain merchants, and Lu Yuan who were present all couldn't help but shed tears. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty,
It’s been too long since I heard any praise from the palace...
But what the people of Fuyang are more concerned about is that after every business opens, they will hold a party, set up flowing banquets, and invite opera troupes to sing, which is as lively as the New Year.
Same. Throughout July, other counties were plagued by the influx of victims and thieves, and conflicts between host and guest, but only Fuyang County was happy.
This is also what Weizhi County is most proud of. The reason why he has always insisted that the victims cannot be freeloaded is here. Because Wang Xian asked him
I believe that what makes people's hearts stable is not how much rice can be distributed every day, but what makes them live in peace and have something to do, and earn income through doing things, so that people can
Will maintain his hard-working and law-abiding nature.
If you get something without working for a long time and just wait for relief, no matter how hard-working the people are, they will easily become "lucky people", and if the relief fails, or
The local government favors one over the other, becomes more resentful, and becomes full of aggression... Peasants are the most dangerous when they have nothing.
By then, locals and foreign victims will have deep grievances, which will seriously endanger local public security and even lead to riots.
For the sake of Ding's safety, Wei Magistrate County will disperse the victims to make it difficult for them to gather and cause trouble. He also urges the palace to rent private houses for the victims to live in.
, this can make the two get along more harmoniously, and prevent disaster victims from living in groups in simple shacks and generating negative emotions that they are abandoned people.
It's just that at first I couldn't express these words clearly to my colleagues in other counties, and they didn't believe me even if I told them. Instead, they only caused trouble.
As Zhou Zhitai said in his memorial to the court:
‘Officials are providing disaster relief and reassuring the people for the imperial court. They should adapt to changes when they are away from home. This requires not only wisdom, but also the courage and mind to take responsibility. For example
He only considers self-preservation, and acts on the premise that he will not stir up trouble with others and will not affect his career as a palace. No matter how busy and hard he works, it is just superficial.
It did not help. Magistrate Wei undoubtedly had this responsibility. At first everyone thought that he was asking for trouble and just stirring up material disputes, but he did not waver and insisted on pressing the matter.
The established strategy was to resettle the people in scattered places and insist on using work as relief. Although it seemed like asking for trouble at the time, in the days that followed, it allowed Fuyang County to avoid
To overcome the chaos and turmoil and preserve the simple people's hearts, it can only show that they have good intentions and are mature in seeking the country...'
Zheng Fangbo also said in the memorial that Fuyang's disaster relief can be described as a model for the imperial court's disaster relief. Zhejiang Province has asked Weizhi County to summarize and prepare to promote it throughout the province.
, I hope that after the imperial court studies it, it will be made into law, which can reduce the harm of disaster to the minimum...
With such praise from the two officials and the emperor's personal approval, the officials naturally acted very quickly. At the end of July, the Fuyang disaster relief personnel were rewarded.
Waiting for the decree, he arrived in the county.
On that day, the main entrance of the Fuyang County Government Office was opened wide, and an incense table and a candlestick were set up in front of the lobby. After Hunzhi County led all the officials to worship the imperial edict, there were eunuchs who announced the edict.
The imperial edict was read out loudly.
The first person to receive the edict was Wei Yuan, the magistrate of Fuyang County. After a lot of praises and praises, the emperor gave him a plaque, gold coins and other things, and ordered him to be the editor of the Hanlin Academy.
Written by: Although he was only a sixth-grade palace er, he made Wei Zhixian burst into tears...
In fact, I had already informed Weizhi County of this appointment in advance in the same year when I was in the Li Ke. When I heard the news, I felt a huge sense of happiness and was filled with excitement.
He had thought about the various arrangements of the imperial court, and even thought about whether he would become the magistrate in one step, but he did not expect that the imperial court would
Will get myself into the Hanlin Academy.
The Jinshi ranking in the fourth year of Yongle was an eternal pain in the heart of Wei Zhixian... He was only one place higher than Sun Shan and ranked second to last on the imperial list.
Although most people only remember that the name of Sun Shan in that subject was Wu Zhong, and did not pay attention to who was second to last, Wei Yuan, who was very strong by nature, cared about it and was deeply aware of it.
Shame on you!
So even though he is a Jinshi, he has always been deeply inferior to himself, but now he can become a Hanlin, which is a higher level of education than a Jinshi. You let
How could Wei Zhixian not be overjoyed? Although the Imperial Academy is a hard-working and low-grade scholar, as long as you know that it is a palace position that must be awarded to the number one scholar and the next,
You know how bright it has a bright future... It is both clean and expensive, and it is really considerate of Wei Zhixian's wishes.
Then came Jiang County Cheng, who was promoted to Fuyang County Magistrate. After hearing this order, Jiang County Cheng was immediately happy, and all his problems suddenly disappeared. For
For an official like this who is almost fifty years old, being a shuji in the Hanlin Academy is meaningless. Being able to serve as a county magistrate in a prosperous and stable county is the most important thing.
What a blessing.
Youdao is to be experienced rather than raw. What’s more, Wei Zhixian and Wang Xian have paved the way. Even Jiang County Cheng can see that the good days of Fuyang County are just around the corner.
It's here. Is there any place in the world that is more agreeable to people's needs?
The third imperial edict was to posthumously confer Ma Dianshi as the magistrate of Fuyang County, but death was like a lamp going out, and everything was in vain. Fortunately, the court had not broken its conscience.
, ordered Ma Dianshi's two sons to study in the Imperial College. After they graduated, they would not be given two prospects.
The fourth imperial edict was to appoint Inspector Zhao of the Inspection Department as the Magistrate of Fuyang County.
The fifth imperial edict appointed Hu Patou as the canon historian of Qiantang County...
In addition, all officials in various palaces, as long as they have something to do with disaster relief, are rewarded. Even Chief Diao, who thought he was definitely out of luck, got a Sichuan Qing
The magistrate's errand... moved him to tears. Magistrate Wei was so kind! Because the list of people who asked for merit were all decided by Magistrate Wei.
But until the Salesian Bureau and the almshouses were all rewarded, there was still no share of Wang Xian.
At this time, the announcement of the imperial edict was over. The imperial envoy read twenty imperial edicts in one breath. His mouth was dry and his tongue was dry. The magistrate of Wei hurriedly invited him in for tea.
After the magistrate Wei and the eunuchs left, the officials, whose legs were numb from kneeling earlier, stood up one after another, suppressing their excitement and whispering to each other.
The reason why I didn't dare to speak loudly was not because I was afraid of disturbing the magistrate and the imperial envoy, but because they all realized that the first meritorious service was missing from the list of awards.
Your Majesty Wang Xian!
This is of course extremely absurd. They all know very well that Wang Xiancai is the framer and main executor of the entire disaster relief plan. His contribution is so great that no one can compare it.
B. But such a great hero is not on the list of rewards. This is inexplicable and surprising... But little people like us can give Wang Xian
There are only two words for Tong and Sui.
A strong person never needs sympathy. Although Wang Xian considers himself not a strong person, he still doesn't like others to sympathize with him. He simply thinks that his sister-in-law is about to give birth.
Therefore, leave the yamen where the banquet is about to be held, so as not to disturb the joy of others.
Of course, it was true that he said that his sister-in-law was about to give birth. Since the morning, Mrs. Hou, who was already full-term, began to complain of stomachache. Wang Gui hurriedly informed Wang Xianhe and Yuan Zai
Dad from Hangzhou... As for my mother, I calculated that the day was coming soon and came back with the silver bell a few days ago to wait for the birth of the eldest grandson of the royal family.
After coming out of the Yamen, Wang Xian quickly adjusted his mood, hurried to Wang Gui's house, and went straight into the inner courtyard.
In the yard, Wang Gui, who had obviously gained weight and looked much better, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
On the other hand, Yin Ling, who is becoming more and more energetic, can still keep her composure and fan herself at the side while the big brother is sweating profusely.
"Have you given birth?" Wang Xian asked.
Yin Ling's eyes were the one who answered him. Wang Gui smiled bitterly and said, "If I gave birth, how could I be so anxious?"
"Yes." Wang Xian whispered: "Why are you so nervous, just have a child..."
"It turns out you don't understand." Wang Gui smiled miserably and said, "Mr. Wen said that when a woman gives birth to a child, she needs the blessing of the Bodhisattva.
An... When a woman gives birth to a child, she has to go through hell, do you think I can not be nervous?"
"Scared, sorry, sorry." Wang Xian said sheepishly, "I thought it would be as simple as..." Six hundred years later.
The two brothers sat on the stone steps and waited together, so that the silver bell could cool them both.
"Where's mother?" Seeing that his eldest brother was still too nervous, Wang Xian was speechless and asked.
"I'm here to help." Yin Ling's little mouth babbled. In the inner room, various screams of pain came from inside, and there was also a loud cry of a baby...
