When county magistrate Wang saw that the so-called big man in Beijing was a woman, or such a young woman, he couldn't touch his head for the moment. However, he didn't dare to neglect it. He came forward and bowed with his hands: "I don't know your excellency is coming to Qingxu. I hope I can forgive you for your loss of welcome."
Chen min'er didn't be polite to him, but directly explained his intention: "I'm Chen, deputy envoy of the Royal Hospital. I've come to Shanxi to inspect the epidemic situation. Please explain your epidemic situation here, Lord Wang."
County Magistrate Wang didn't know about these things. It was the servants who were doing it. He hurriedly said, "Your Excellency came all the way. You'd better have a cup of tea first to take a breath. The lower official immediately called the people of the medical department to report the situation."
Chen min'er's eyes were cold: "don't lord Wang know the details? As a county parent official, don't you know the disaster?"
County Magistrate Wang is sweating in his heart. This female official is not good at stubble! Give him a hand when he comes.
"Sir, ten epidemic prevention and treatment prescriptions were handed down a few days ago. The medical department has carried out treatment according to the instructions of the head. It is said that the situation has improved. The lower officer has been busy preparing medicinal materials and post disaster reconstruction these days, so he didn't ask much. The lower officer has sent the people of the medical department to report to the adult in detail." the county magistrate Wang said timidly.
Chen min'er picked up his eyebrows when he heard the speech: "it's fast over there."
County Magistrate Wang gave a wink to his men, and his yamen hurried to call someone.
Servant girls poured in and offered tea and cakes.
Chen min'er looked at these exquisite cakes. As soon as they were pressed down, his anger rushed up again.
These cakes were not prepared to meet her. She came suddenly. County magistrate Wang could not know. It only showed that the people outside were naked and hungry. When large areas died of famine and plague, the county magistrate Wang lived a comfortable and luxurious life at home.
"Lord Wang, you said you were preparing medicinal materials. How was the preparation of medicinal materials?" Chen min'er suppressed his anger and did business first.
County Magistrate Wang said that the preparation of medicinal materials was originally a word of evasion. At this time, hearing Chen miner's problem, he said vaguely: "there is a shortage of local medicinal materials, and people have been ordered to prepare in other places. At present, there is no exact information, but the lower official thought it was not a big problem."
"Really? Where did you prepare? How much money did you spend? When I came, I saw that the entrance fee was collected at the gate of the city, saying it was used for purchasing medicinal materials." Chen min'er asked with an imperceptible sneer.
County Magistrate Wang has calmed down and said: "There are basically no medicinal materials in Shanxi. We can only go to Shandong or Hebei to buy them. At present, we have invested more than 1000 Liang. As for the collection of the city entrance fee, it is also the order of the head. The disaster relief funds and food and grass for disaster relief of the imperial court have not been allocated. The only funds of the county government have been used for disaster relief, and the grain depot is empty. We have to raise our own funds to save ourselves. This city entrance fee is also taken For civilian use and for the people. "
Chen min'er sneered from the bottom of her heart. It's good to take it from the people. Then she'll see how to use it for the people.
"Your idea is very good, but the victims have lost their homes. Let alone the cost of entering the city, they can't dig up the grass roots and bark. You also asked them to pay five copper fees for entering the city. If they can't afford it, they are not allowed to enter the city. Isn't that forcing them to die? Now the epidemic is rampant and the victims flee everywhere, which will bring great difficulties to the control of the epidemic situation. County magistrate Wang, this decree should be cancelled 。”
