Chapter 60: Diligent Performance

There are many taboos in life, some are respectful, while others are bottom lines. For example, when others hold funerals, you cannot laugh, and kill and set fire, these are all taboos. In ancient times, being an official, the official land was a major taboo for officials and they should not be easily touched. Now the county magistrate openly said that he used the official land as collateral, and everyone was surprised when he heard it.

It is no exaggeration to say that this county magistrate is taking risks with his career, and even gaining reputation, he will not do this. He will fight a path from tens of thousands of scholars. Is it easy to enter the career of the officialdom? Behind any success is not a hard study. Besides, the county magistrate in front of him is too young, he does nothing, and can get promoted by just getting a seniority. Besides, he has a great backer of the Ministry of Personnel, so there is no need to do this, but he still does it. It is obvious that he really wants to consider the people of Jiangyou County, and it can even be said that he is ignoring his personal future for the people of Jiangyou County.

The official field is the field of the court and the emperor's field. You do it right, but you dare to put your hand into the emperor's pocket. At that time, you will be afraid that it will be thankless and your black hat will be removed at any time. Zhao Wang, Zhang Delai, Chen Xian, the students of the county school, and the people watching are all moved by the noble character of the county magistrate Lu. Chen Dashan, who had been questioning just now, opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say anything.

It is really worthy of being the god of Jiangyou County. This sky is still the "heaven" of the blue sky. Under limited conditions, County Magistrate Lu has exceeded everyone's expectations for him.

Most people are satisfied, but there is only one person who is "dissatisfied", that is, Lu Haoshan's long-time follower Liu Jinzhu.

"Young Master, you can't be careless about this matter. You have really mortgaged the official land. You may be dismissed and investigated at any time. If you are not lucky, you will not only destroy everything before, but also be sentenced to prison. Then you will be too regretful." Liu Jinzhu knelt down and shouted: "Young Master, you can't touch the official land."

If others say this, everyone will definitely say that he is meddling in other people's business, but the person who says this is the eldest follower of the county magistrate. He is standing in the position of his young master to think about him and not let him take the risk of jumping into the fire pit. This is human nature. Doing this will make him loyal. Although everyone hopes that this damn loyal servant will not be dissuaded, no one can say it. He just secretly prays in his heart that the county magistrate will trust his words and will not be persuaded by this guy.

Lu Haoshan shook his long sleeves and said unhappily: "Okay, Jinzhu, get up first. If you have anything to do, I'll talk about it later."

"But young master, that official field really cannot be touched."

"Okay, I'm determined, you don't need to say much."

Liu Jinzhu exhorted loudly: "Young Master, just do your duty. No matter what, no one blames you. Young Master, you are taking risks with your future. Young Master, you are still young and have a bright future. Don't trek into this muddy water. Young Master, please."

The hearts of the people present suddenly seemed to be hanging up. After a long speech, County Magistrate Lu began to hesitate, obviously touched by his words, and the members of the surnames became nervous: If the county magistrate changed his mind, then no one in Jiangyou would make the decision for them. He just caught a life-saving straw, but in the blink of an eye, the straw was gone. How could he not be nervous?

Seeing that his master was told, Liu Jinzhu said anxiously: "Young Master, this is too impulsive. You forgot that your mentor said that as long as you are safe and have no mistakes, the young master wants to do things for the people of Jiangyou. This term of office is three years, and the half-year has not passed yet, so why bother to hurry up?"

The people of Jiangyou on the side almost wanted to kill the hateful Changsui. This was related to the livelihood of more than 50,000 people in Jiangyou. What was he saying? Zhang Delai, who was standing aside, stared at the county magistrate, for fear that the county magistrate would change his mind. He was so nervous that he seemed to have forgotten his breath and was holding his breath. Just when he felt that he was going to say something, Lu Haoshan suddenly said with a determined look on his face: "Okay, Jinzhu, I have decided, you don't need to say much."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have the words of the county magistrate. Zhang Delai, who was standing beside him, was almost excited and was about to jump up.

Liu Jinzhu said with a sad face: "Young Master, but your future..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Haoshan interrupted him and said, "Shut up, if you don't make the decision for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes. If you dare to mess up your mind, you will take your mouth."

"Yes, young master." Liu Jinzhu, the loyal servant, finally did not dare to speak anymore, and silently retreated aside with a look of dissatisfaction on his face. However, when he saw that the "master" was angry, he did not dare to do it again.

"Okay, good, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes than to be an official but not a rule for the people." Chen Xian, the gentry beside him, applauded: "The adult is noble and has a noble character and a person with the people. Chen admires him very much. Although Chen has limited ability, after hearing what the county magistrate said, I am willing to do my best to help him."

"Sir, Gao Yi, it is really a gift from God that we Jiangyou have such a parental official."

"Sir, I am willing to establish a position of immortality for you and bless you to turn bad luck into good luck and rise step by step."

"Old parents are really talented people and role models of scholars."

"God, Jiang You are saved."

"Mr. Xie County Official."

"Mr. Xie County Official."

If you don’t kneel down first with anyone, in a short while, the county government office was kneeling down in front of the county government. Even the students from the county school were no longer in charge and kneeled down with the people. The scene was very spectacular. This time, everyone sincerely thanked the selfless and dedicated county magistrate.

Lu Haoshan naturally hurriedly asked everyone to get up, and personally helped Zhao Wang and others up, saying a lot of warm words. This is the magistrate of the county magistrate, who is noble and kind, loves the people as much as his son, treats people with courtesy, and even wants to mortgage the official land regardless of his personal future. Several emotional people have their eyes wet.

"Okay, please come back." After comforting, Lu Haoshan said loudly to everyone: "As an official, he will benefit the people. He is loved by the emperor. Lu is the magistrate of Jiangyou County. Naturally, Jiangyou is the first, and the people of Jiangyou are the first. Don't worry, today's time is in a hurry, and we still have to discuss it. The Japanese officials in Ming Dynasty will go to raise money and grain to reduce the burden on the people as much as possible. However, the county's official fields are limited, and I don't know how much they can raise. You have to go back and try to find a way to raise some money and grain, and work together to overcome this difficulty."

Naturally, everyone agreed and finally dispersed. The students from the county school ran as fast as rabbits: now it was a troublesome, if the county magistrate was unhappy and notified him to recommend the school, it would be miserable.

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Lu Haoshan breathed a sigh of relief and gave Liu Jinzhu a wink. The two of them returned to the back yamen together. As soon as they closed the door, Liu Jinzhu had not even made tea, as if he had done magic. His sad face suddenly smiled and became bright, and he said with some gratitude: "Brother Shan, how about it, my cooperation is OK, right?"

There is a clever person around the big guy who can smooth things out and lay the groundwork at critical moments. When you see Lu Haoshan working hard to win people's hearts, although the two have not practiced yet, others don't know that Lu Haoshan wants to "be cute" and win people's hearts. Can Liu Jinzhu still not know? No need to remind you, take the initiative to cooperate immediately, and the effect can be said to be very good. So, a few kind people almost cried with excitement.

It is certain that once this incident spreads, Lu Haoshan's reputation and reputation will suddenly reach an unprecedented height and be completely recognized by the people of Jiangyou. Liu Jinzhu consciously performed well and took the initiative to invite him to make contributions.

Lu Haoshan knocked on his head and said angrily: "The front is done well, but the back is done a little bit too much. Fortunately, the people didn't see it, otherwise you, Brother Shan, would have been in vain."

"Really?" Liu Jinzhu was a good and studious comrade. He immediately asked for advice after hearing this, "Brother Shan, what did I do wrong?"

"What's the matter with a sad face behind you? You're not on the guillotine. You're a Changsui, so it seems a bit unreal to be on the face of Qixiang. Besides, you're so hardworking, there's also a suspicion of stealing the show." Lu Haoshan joked with a smile.

Liu Jinzhu nodded and said, "Yes, I understand, I will pay attention next time."

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and then laughed.

"Brother Shan, you are so outstanding now. I saw that the common people regard you as a Bodhisattva who saves you from suffering." Liu Jinzhu said a little enviously.

Lu Haoshan did not deny it and nodded and said, "Haha, life is like a play, drama is like a life, and it was done well again. Jinzhu, take a little leisurely tonight, we have to do a lot of things tomorrow."
