Chapter six hundred and sixty seventh send beggars
Everyone stared at Du He with wide eyes, not seriously, but curiously.
Unexpectedly, the dignified Duke of Huyi County was so young. He was just a child.
This is a founding county official!
What a difference it makes to have a good dad!
In this era, not long after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er was still very willing to give up titles. There were a large number of nobles and nobles in the court who had titles.
Therefore, the gold content of this title is actually not as precious as it was in the Song and Ming Dynasties.
Naturally, everyone didn't respect Du He that much.
Chen Yifa was the first to ask: "I don't know, the county magistrate asked me for help. Is there something important that he needs help with? But it doesn't matter. As long as I can help, I will never refuse!"
"Yes, it doesn't matter what the county magistrate says!"
People said sparsely.
Du He smiled slightly and said: "It is said that there are many good people in Hu County. When I saw it today, it was indeed well-deserved. So I will speak frankly. Today is the occasion when I take office. However, when I walked into the county seat of Hu County,
But it is shocking. Have you ever known that the city wall of Huxian County has been in disrepair for a long time and is crumbling? It is really too dangerous. If someone passes by, something will happen. If it collapses in the end, your family members and property will be affected.
We are all in the city. What will happen if strong men from outside the city come in? Therefore, as the magistrate of Hu County, I must not sit idly by and ignore it. I should shoulder the responsibility of building the city wall."
"The county magistrate really understands justice!"
"good idea!"
"Benefit the people!"
Everyone praised him one after another.
But I saw Du He's face turned aside, and he said sadly: "...But, I am now more than capable. The county government's warehouse does not have half a grain of grain or half a penny. It is not easy to build a city wall.
Therefore, I invite you all to come here today because I want to discuss it with you. You are all highly respected people in Huxian County and are loved by the people. Now, the city wall is in trouble, and you cannot just sit idly by and ignore it. Therefore, if you have money, please contribute.
Those who have food will provide food, and those who have food will provide people. How about we take care of this matter? At that time, I will definitely ask for credit for everyone in front of His Majesty!"
To put it simply, I want to build the city wall, but I don’t have the money. You can only contribute this money.
When everyone heard this, their faces changed.
If it weren't for Du He's identity, many people would have scolded her.
Several guys who were smiling before now have dark faces.
"County Lord, my wife is about to give birth, I'll take the first step!" An old man in his sixties stood up, said something, turned around and left.
"I have a headache. Say goodbye!"
"My legs hurt..."
"My cow is dying, I'm going to check it out!"
I saw guys standing up one after another, finding various weird excuses, and walking out without looking back.
Chen Yifa also stood up, clasped his fists and turned around to escape. Unexpectedly, he was half a beat too late and Du He grabbed his sleeve.
Du He said enthusiastically: "Oh, this is the head of the Chen family, right? You and I hit it off at first sight. Everyone else has left, so let's talk again."
Chen Yifa was embarrassed for a while, knowing that if he didn't shed some blood today, he might not be able to explain it, so he bit the bullet and asked: "May I ask the county man, how much does it cost to repair the city wall?"
Du He counted with his fingers and said, "Probably, it will cost 300,000 yuan."
Chen Yifa almost fainted.
Three hundred thousand dollars?
Why don't you go and rob?
As for the small broken city wall in Hu County, 200,000 gold can be used to build a new one.
black!
too dark.
But I heard Du He add: "This is only the first phase, there will be more later, the total is estimated to be around one million yuan!"
"puff……"
Chen Yifa wanted to vomit blood.
He looked very unnatural and said: "County Lord, our family is poor and we really can't afford much money. Do you think a hundred guan will do?"
"Okay... Master Chen, from today on, you are my friend Du He. Come, prepare some food and drinks. I want to have a drink with Master Chen!" Du He said with a loud laugh.
Chen Yifa quickly declined: "No, no, I still have important things to do, county magistrate, so I'll take the first step. Don't worry, I'll send you one hundred guan right away."
With that said, Chen Yifa left in a panic.
Du He touched his chin and said, "Strange, why are everyone so afraid of me? Am I too fierce?"
Ma Zhou said speechlessly: "Money is life to these nobles. It is absolutely impossible for them to use the money to repair the city wall! I'm afraid I will disappoint you."
Du He smiled: "It doesn't matter, everything is within my young master's prediction. The more they refuse to take money, the more this young master likes them, huh."
Du He waved and called Zhang Jian over: "Zecheng, are you all ready?"
Zhang Jian nodded and handed a roster to Du He.
This list is divided into three categories. One is those who received the letter and did not come to the appointment. There are seven families in total. Those who came to the appointment but did not come in person. There are eight families in total. Only five families came in person. There are twenty families in total.
Only the Chen family came up with one hundred guan.
Du He stared at the names and said, "Don't worry, let's take our time and play!"
…
Chen family.
Chen Yifa was filled with regret.
On the side, Chen Yifa's eldest son Chen Xiaotian said angrily: "Dad, you are stupid, how could you fall for Du He's trick? Well, now our Chen family has become a joke in Hu County. No one else has given money, so you are the only one who gives it."
Already."
Chen Yifa said helplessly: "If you want to blame me, I can only blame my legs for not walking fast. You don't know that although Du He is a child, he smiles like a smiling tiger. Besides, he is the magistrate of Hu County or Hu Yi."
County Lord, if I don't agree, what should I do if he is unreasonable and beats me up? I can give him a hundred gu, it's not much money anyway!"
The father and son sighed for a while.
…
Huang family.
backyard.
The head of the Huang family was sitting under the tree, sitting on a revolving wooden chair. There were two little maids squeezing his shoulders and a bastard fanning him beside him.
The butler stood aside and whispered: "Master, as expected, not many people went to the appointment today. Moreover, Du He was so whimsical that he actually wanted to repair the city wall. In the end, except for the Chen family, who gave him one hundred guan, everyone else
, ignore him at all!”
Huang Meili laughed loudly and said: "One hundred guans are just for sending beggars. Humph, you said this court is really true. In the past, when Qiu Wanjia was here, we all made money together, and we were in harmony and harmony. Now it's better, Qiu
Wan Jia died and became a corrupt official. The court sent a stupid kid here, but he still wants to benefit the people? What a joke, hum, leave him alone, this kid won't be able to bounce around for a few days! By the way, tomorrow, find a few people and go
Incite the common people and let them go to the county government to make trouble. The bigger the trouble, the better. Hum, we want to let Du He know that this Hu County magistrate is not an easy job!"
"Yes! Master, you are so tall!" the butler praised.
Before he finished speaking, a young man hurried in and shouted: "Master Huang, it's not good, it's not good..."
