Youdao said that he did not practice cultivation in his previous life, so he became the magistrate of Fuguo County. The so-called Fuguo County is not a specific county name, but refers to the kind of county that does not have an independent county seat and sets the county government in a state or prefectural city. Unfortunately,
When you become this kind of county magistrate, you have the pressure of being a magistrate. You can't even call the magistrate, and you can't fully appreciate the majesty and dignity of Bailihou. Not to mention happiness, you have to run errands and take the blame, all kinds of misery...
Based on this inference, only those who committed sins in the previous life will become the county magistrate of the provincial capital; only those who commit sins in eight lifetimes will become the county magistrate of the prefecture, provincial capital and royal capital... Zhao Youde, the magistrate of Yangqu County, is such a man who has gathered all kinds of tragedies.
A person in one body. The seventh-grade county magistrate is placed elsewhere, that is one parent, but in Taiyuan City, it is a grandson... His county seat includes the prefect's Yamen, Fantai Yamen, Naitai Yamen, Dusi Yamen, and
There is a Jin Palace... You can imagine how miserable his life was.
Over time, Zhao Zhixian developed a character of being cautious and crossing the river with eggs in hand. "Not seeking merit but seeking no faults" became the highest creed of his official career. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Zhixian was praised by Futai Master
Select and become the first person to be questioned by the imperial envoy.
"Ah, subordinate, subordinate..." Upon hearing that he was the first to be questioned, Zhixian Zhao's face turned green and he murmured, "I'm afraid that the government will screw this up."
"Don't be afraid," Magistrate He warned on the way to the camp: "You just have to be careful and simmer slowly..."
"Oh, what Futai means..." Zhao Zhixian is naturally very capable of understanding and suddenly said: "Let me... delay?"
"Yes, if you make him dizzy and frustrated, you will have completed the task." Zhao Zhixian smiled and said: "If the job is done, you have done a great job. Not only will I thank you, but Uncle Fang will also thank you.
Will remember you.
"Then... please do your best." Magistrate Zhao has no right not to agree. He followed Magistrate He to the camp and saw that the place was heavily guarded. The guards on each floor were all dressed in flying fish uniforms and carrying embroidered spring knives.
, the atmosphere is extremely solemn.
Magistrate Zhao swallowed secretly and followed Magistrate He to the lobby. After kneeling down and worshiping the imperial envoy, Wang Xian asked someone to watch his seat.
Today, Wang Xian is wearing a bright yellow flying fish suit, with a wingless black veil on his head. His face is gloomy, his eyebrows are frosty, especially his pair of cold star-like eyes, which make people's hearts tremble and they dare not look at him.
"Is this the magistrate of Zhao County?" Wang Xian lowered his head and looked at the case file. Magistrate Zhao immediately leaned forward and said, "That's the official."
Zhao Zhixian was using all his skills to prepare to use You Abuse Me Thousands of Times, I'll Bring You Like First Love, Magical Skills, to welcome the imperial envoy's baptism, but he heard Wang Xian calmly say: "You should avoid it first, I have something to do beforehand."
I have to ask Magistrate He."
"Ah..." Zhao Zhixian said reluctantly: "Didn't you say you need to ask your subordinates first?"
"You are the imperial envoy and I am the imperial envoy?" Wang Xian said coldly.
"Yes, yes." Magistrate Zhao shrank his head, gave Magistrate He a helpless look, and walked out awkwardly.
"Sir, why do you want me to be interrogated too?" Zhixian Zhao asked a little unhappily. After all, he is also a fourth-rank official. Logically speaking, even an imperial envoy cannot interrogate at will.
"I'm just asking you for some information, not an interrogation," Wang Xian smiled and said, "Relax."
"Haha, could I have told you earlier..." Magistrate He said with a smile: "The superior officer's posture really calmed the inferior officer."
"Of course it can be suppressed. Otherwise, how can I fight with the monsters in Shanxi?" Wang Xian said with a smile.
"With this clear sky and white sun, how can there be so many monsters and monsters in the world," Magistrate He said with a forced smile, twitching the corners of his mouth.
"That's why I saw ghosts in the daytime." Wang Xian suppressed his smile and said in a deep voice: "Prefect He, as an imperial envoy, I am asking you a few questions. I hope you can answer them truthfully."
"Of course." Magistrate He straightened his clothes and said seriously.
"What role did you play in the mission of transporting military rations this spring?" Wang Xian asked.
"Transportation committee member." Magistrate He said: "This has been proven to be a bad one."
Wang Xian asked: "What does the transfer committee do?"
Magistrate He said: "Assist the minister of transportation and be responsible for the transportation, storage, and transfer of military rations within Shanxi."
Wang Xian asked: "Who is the Minister of Transport?"
Magistrate He said: "Zhang Fantai."
Wang Xian asked: "How were your previous powers and responsibilities divided?"
Magistrate He said, "Of course the feudal lord is in charge of the overall situation, and the lower officials are responsible for the specific affairs."
Wang Xian asked: "Can it be understood that you are specifically responsible for the delivery and receipt of all military rations?"
"You can say so." Magistrate He nodded.
"Do you still remember the specific number?" Wang Xian asked in a deep voice.
"I generally remember it." Magistrate He said with a smile: "It's been more than half a year since the incident. I'm busy with official duties, so some figures may need to be checked."
"I'm just asking you a general question today." Wang Xian said expressionlessly: "Let me ask you, how much grain and grass have been transported to Taiyuan?"
"I remember this, it's about 4.5 million shi," Magistrate He said after thinking about it.
"According to the account statistics you provided, it was 4.7 million dan. Did you get greedy for the 200,000?" Wang Xian said in a cold voice.
"The superior was joking." Magistrate He waved his hands hurriedly and said, "I remembered it wrong, it is indeed 4.7 million dan."
"Where are these grains and grass now?" Wang Xiandao said.
"The ministers were incompetent and did not transport the army rations to the front line in time. After the army returned, the emperor issued an order to store it in the grain depot in Datong for later use." Magistrate He said.
"Then what is the amount that can be checked in the account now?" Wang Xian said with an increasingly cold expression.
"This..." Magistrate He hesitated. He did not expect that Wang Xian could sort out the confusing accounts within three days. If he had known that, even if he had been burned, it would have been better than letting him see it.
"Do you need me to remind you?" Wang Xian said coldly.
"No need." Magistrate He shook his head and said with difficulty: "It should be two and a half million stones..."
"It's 2.3 million stones," Wang Xian said coldly: "You will make up for the missing 200,000 stones?"
"The superior is joking again..." Magistrate He said with a forced smile, pretending to be relaxed.
"Can you still laugh?" Wang Xian slapped the case hard, raised his thick eyebrows, and said angrily: "You are shouldering the heavy responsibility of transporting food and grass for the Holy Lord's army, but not only have not a single grain of rice been sent to the front line.
On the contrary, more than half of the food and grass have disappeared. How shocking is this? I have searched through history books and can't find any precedent. It is really unreasonable. People and gods are angry, but you can still laugh."
"Shangchai calm down..." Magistrate He said with a hurried face: "Xiaguan is born with a smile, and it seems like he is smiling when he opens his mouth, but in fact, my heart is bleeding right now..."
"That's pretty much it." Wang Xian exhaled, picked up the teacup, drank some tea to moisten his throat and said, "Where did the half of the food go?"
"Back on business, I sent them to Xuanfu three times, and were robbed three times in Guangling County. Each time, I lost more than 700,000 dan." Magistrate He explained hurriedly: "There were also losses in storage and transportation... It was the rainy season at that time.
During this delivery, there was a heavy rain that had not been seen in many years. The grain truck was covered with a layer of mats and an oilcloth, but it still couldn't stop the grain from being soaked in water. Since there was no sunlight, I could only watch the truckloads of grain.
Mildew... moldy food will kill people, so it can only be thrown away." This was naturally a rhetoric that had been thought of for a long time, and even all related people had a unified view. "This number sounds scary at first, but in fact
Over the years, there has been at least 20% loss in transporting grain and grass, and it was only after being robbed three times that such a huge loss occurred."
After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Wang Xian and saw that the other person had no expression on his face. He thought to himself, I can definitely scare you now.
The conversation between the two suddenly stopped, and the hall was quiet. Wang Xian closed his eyes slightly, as if thinking. It took him a long time to open his eyes, and looked at Magistrate He with somewhat blurred eyes and said: "I have a question that is not relevant to me.
"Excuse me, sir." Although he said so, Magistrate He did not dare to be careless.
"How much does a carriage carry?" Wang Xian asked softly.
"This..." Magistrate He was stunned, not knowing what he meant by asking this. But he still answered truthfully: "Excluding the weight of the carriage, a carriage can pull up to 1,800 kilograms."
"How are you doing with your math?" Wang Xian asked another seemingly meaningless question.
"The last of the six skills of our generation of scholars is number." Magistrate He said slightly proudly: "I have read several books of "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".
"That's great, you can help me calculate the numbers." Wang Xianpi said with a smile: "One and a half million stones of grain and grass, how many trucks are needed to transport it?"
"Is this..." Magistrate He vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't do two things at once, so he could only count with difficulty first. In frustration and confusion, he couldn't understand anything and even made his head full of headaches.
sweat.
"How many stones is one thousand eight hundred kilograms?" Wang Xian temporarily became an arithmetic teacher, teaching reading and arithmetic to the magistrate He.
"Yes, yes..." Magistrate He clapped his fingers and murmured for a while, then his eyes lit up and he said: "Fifteen stones"
"How many cars are needed for the 1.5 million stone?" Wang Xian asked again.
"One hundred thousand vehicles." Magistrate He answered much faster this time.
"Then I would like to ask how many vehicles Shanxi uses to transport military rations to Datong?" Wang Xian finally figured it out and took action lightly.
"This" Magistrate He's face changed drastically. His heart, which had just been relaxed due to the calculation, shrank into a ball. He opened his mouth several times and then said in a mosquito-like humming voice: "One hundred thousand cars?" Obviously he was not satisfied with this answer.
He didn't believe it himself.
"Where did this number come from?" Wang Xian smiled, like a lion toying with its prey, cruel and in control.
"Xiaguan guessed it..." Magistrate He whispered: "Xiaguan really can't remember clearly. Please allow me to look it up before answering."
"Okay, bring up the books for Mr. Futai." Wang Xian ordered, and the guard came up with a stack of books. Magistrate He saw the words on the top cover, which was "Yangqu County Civilian Recruitment Detailed Book"
