Chapter 1250： Great Righteous Destroyer

Chapter 1250 Great Righteous Destroyer

The county magistrate of Taiping County has been in dire straits recently. Due to its unfavorable flood control, the people in its jurisdiction have suffered numerous casualties, especially the villages near the Xiangxi, Machuan River, Zhuxi River and other rivers were the hardest hit. A total of 56 villages died overnight All the villages were razed to the ground by the floods, and there were only a handful of survivors in each village, and the other towns were not much better. Many bones were abandoned in the wild. White flags were hung everywhere in the entire Taiping County, and more than 90% of the people became victims of the disaster. , hunger and cold, a piece of mourning, a tragedy in the world.

If it is said that other brothers and counties were affected by the disaster as well, the situation of the magistrate of Taiping County may be better.

However, Jingnan County, which is the closest to Taiping County and has the most intersections, is a different scene.

Because Zhu Pingan, the magistrate of Jingnan County, took precautions before the flood, although Jingnan was not spared from the flood, but Jingnan County did not lose a single person in this once-in-a-century flood.

On the one hand, there are countless casualties and bones in the wild, and on the other hand, there is only one person who was not damaged. The results of the comparison are clear! It highlights the incompetence of his Taiping magistrate! It also sets off the peer Zhu Pingan who he dislikes and envies and hates extremely well!

Because of this, the surviving people in Taiping County complained and cursed him, the magistrate!

In particular, it was reported by someone that Zhu Pingan, the magistrate of Jingnan, had sent a letter to the magistrate of Taiping to remind them of flood prevention several days before the flood, but they were given a letter by their "good" county magistrate. The garbage was shredded and thrown away. After the news spread, the people of Taiping County scolded the magistrate of Taiping County even more.

People used to call people stupid pigs, silly dogs and other words, but now they use the name of Taiping magistrate instead of pigs and dogs.

People in Taiping County were displaced, and the shelters they gathered in the wilderness were called "Taiping County Village", the haystacks where people slept were called "Taiping County Beds", and the wild vegetables they ate to satisfy their hunger were called "Taiping County Food". , Grasshoppers and other insects that improve food are called "Taiping County Meat".

In short, in Taiping County, Taiping Zhixian is synonymous with a series of words such as "stupid" and "incompetent".

"Since the flood, I have been doing my best to organize disaster relief. I have never had a day off. Why can't they see it?! Everyone is looking sideways at me, and everyone scolds me."

The county magistrate of Taiping walked around the county office with his hands behind his back, his brows were full of irritability, and he said with resentment.

"Foolish people are the most short-sighted. They can't see Dong Weng's hard work. They can live today, not all because of Dong Weng's hard work. Please calm down and take care of your health. We cannot do without Dong Weng in Taiping County."

The aides comforted softly.

"Well, if everyone understands the hard work of the official like you, then the official will be easy to do."

The magistrate of Taiping sighed, reached out and patted the staff on the shoulder, the comfort of the staff was very helpful.

"Hey, let's not talk about this, how is the construction of the resettlement area for the victims?" Taiping County Magistrate asked the staff.

Although the magistrate of Taiping County never said he regretted it, his guts were green with regret. He regretted not listening to what Zhu Pingan said at the time, so these days, he has been sending people to pay close attention to what Zhu Pingan did in the neighboring county, secretly learning from Zhu Pingan. Safe disaster relief methods and methods, for example, the resettlement area for the victims is the Jingnan flood shelter area where he stole his lessons. However, due to some ulterior considerations, the magistrate of Taiping changed the name of the flood avoidance area to the resettlement area for disaster victims.

"Return to Dongweng, we came back from the resettlement area for the victims. Now the site of the resettlement area has been leveled. We are coordinating the transportation of wood and thatch. It is estimated that we can start building the shanty for the resettlement of the victims in the afternoon."

The staff replied.

"How did you level the site? The progress is too slow. Didn't you start leveling the site three days ago? It only took a day or two to build the flood shelter in Jingnan, from leveling the land to building shanties. All right."

Taiping county magistrate said dissatisfied.

"Back to Dong Weng, the people below are stealing and playing tricks, and the victims are unwilling to contribute. This is the result of my constant monitoring, otherwise I am afraid that it will not be able to level the site in another three to five days." The staff member wiped the sweat from his forehead , replied with a wry smile.

He didn't say some things, Dong Weng didn't go to the resettlement area for the victims, he didn't know the situation on the spot, he didn't have any money, grain and grass supply, he just blindly used administrative orders to force the people below and the victims to work hard, how could he get up quickly, besides The prestige of the county government among the people is also declining day by day.

"This group of unscrupulous people, I have worked so hard to build flood shelters, no, who is the refugee resettlement area for?! They can't even give up a handful of energy. It's really unreasonable that they deserve this calamity!" The magistrate of Taiping couldn't help cursing when he heard the words. After he finished cursing, he turned his head and asked his staff, "By the way, I asked you to keep watching Jingnan. What new moves have you made recently?"

"What's the matter, did he come up with a great plan?"

After the magistrate of Taiping finished asking, he saw a strange expression on the staff's face, and asked nervously.

Firstly, he hoped that Zhu Pingan would come up with a good plan, because he would like to steal his teacher; secondly, he was worried that Zhu Pingan would come up with a good plan, otherwise, when comparing Taiping County and Jingnan County, he would be a contrast to Zhu Pingan!

"Dong Weng, Mr. Zhu," the staff member shook his head when he heard the words, and said with a very complicated expression.

"What's wrong with him?! Tell me quickly." Taiping Zhixian couldn't help urging.

"Dong Weng, Mr. Zhu has issued an official document in various places in Jingnan, which defines the price of grain in Jingnan as 2,500 yuan per shi."

"What? Two thousand and five hundred wen per stone?!" The magistrate of Taiping heard the words, and his shocked face changed.

"Dong Weng, it's unbelievable, but it's true. I rode a horse to Jingnan to check it out. I saw this official document with my own eyes. It was stamped with the bright red seal of Jingnan County Magistrate! Grain shops all over Jingnan It is true that the price of food has been raised to 2,500 cash per stone," said the staff member.

"Is he, Zhu Pingan, crazy? In the current flood, those grain merchants from Fucheng who were driving up prices were beheaded or imprisoned, and they were using thunderous means to lower grain prices! He actually went against the grain and raised grain prices so high? ! What good will it do him?!"

The magistrate of Taiping County took a breath, unbelievable that Zhu Ping'an had made such a policy.

"What good is it for him?! Cough cough, the county lord heard that grain merchants from all over Jingnan lined up to give Zhu Pingan a gift, and Zhu Pingan accepted the gift softly. There are also some who heard the news and rushed to Jingnan to make a fortune. Zhu Ping'an, a grain merchant in other places, also sent people in the name of 'raising donations', so it was an autumn wind! According to gossip, Zhu Ping'an only received this amount of gifts." The staff sneered and made a gesture .

"Eight thousand taels? So much!" The magistrate of Taiping opened his mouth wide in shock.

"It's 80,000 taels!" the staff member corrected.

"What, 80,000 taels?!" Hearing the words, Taiping County Magistrate's eyeballs were about to pop out, not only protruding, but also red like blood, "Zhu Pingan's ability to hold money is also a top talent!"

After being shocked and jealous, the magistrate of Taiping turned around twice in place with his hands behind his back, and couldn't help cursing in his mouth!

How can this f*ck steal a teacher!

If I steal a lesson from you again, my ancestral grave will be dug up by the angry people in Taiping County!

Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Ping'an, I didn't expect you to be such a person!

During the time of the flood, I put aside my past suspicions and learned from you at all costs! I didn't expect you to become a corrupt official!

However, this is also good. After the magistrate of Taiping scolded a few times, a smile appeared on his face again. He waved to his staff and told him, "Hurry up and spread this news! Alright, the farther the better! Hmph, let those ignorant people see what kind of face they are thinking about and praising the person! By the way, later, you can draft an official document for me, and I want to send a letter to Fu Zun Expose and impeach Zhu Pingan."
