Chapter 076 In-law
The division of labor and cooperation between Lin Zimo and Zhao Wenxuan is quite tacit. Zhao Wenxuan, who is in charge of military affairs, is enough to reassure him completely. Lin Zimo, who became the chief officer of Pingnan County, planned to spend a high price to find outstanding criminal masters and Qianliang masters, in order to share his workload, but it backfired. Masters and alternate officials are of the same idea and are unwilling to go to the "hard-hit area" to gamble their lives for a little money. After all, there is a chance when people live, and everything is over when they die.
The reason why Lin Zimo is willing to spend a lot of money to recruit talents is that he believes in the words of Western management: it's not that people don't do their job well, but that they don't give enough what they should be given. Since he embarked on an official career, he has deeply felt the meager salary given to him by the court. Not to mention hiring a master, he can't even support the group of people in the family.
I haven't thought about Lin Zimo, who is famous in history, so I can only find another way out. He absolutely doesn't want to live a life of breeze and water. If you pay more, you should be paid accordingly. If the normal channels don't give him enough, he can only go side by the sword. He thinks that he is not a morally man, let alone an official who is greedy for a good reputation, but a normal man, so he is a clear official who can't learn to make a name in history.
Lin Zimo, who has officially sat on Zhang Chi's position in the past, is fully committed to handling business affairs. A little neglect will cause a series of adverse reactions. His previous terms have collected taxes on the people of the county for the next few decades. Therefore, Lin Zimo is really unwilling to establish a name or collect taxes from their grandchildren.
He heard that the drum of the county government was knocked for the Nth time. He slowly put down the brush in his hand and didn't have the initial excitement. The people thought he was a good official, so they were willing to go to the county government office to complain. In these days, Lin Zimo has dealt with a lot of trivial things. The biggest one of these many trivial cases is the loss of cattle.
The case caused by a cow seems ridiculous, but it's not funny at all. Perhaps, the price of an ordinary cow ranges from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, but in the Ming Dynasty, people who could own a cow were more awesome than those who lived in villas and drove BMWs. For such major cases and important cases, Lin Zimo urged Wang Pengfei and others to solve the case.
Before going to the court, he got up and took a sip of tea. Lin Zimo, sitting under the high plaque of the mirror, patted the purple gold wood and shouted the word 'shengtang'. Immediately, the three-class servists shouted 'mighty' with great momentum.
A white and clean young man came in, knelt under the hall and shouted, "Mr. Qingtian, you have to make the decision for Xiaomin!"
"If you have any grievances, just say it. I will definitely make the decision for you." Lin Zimo said these two sentences without any taste, and he really had an impulse to vomit.
"The Caomin's name is Sun Jun, an unschooled child in this county." Sun Jun said about his tragic experience and said, "I really don't want to marry Chu Sanmei, the daughter of the Chu family. I also hope that the old man will make the decision for a scholar like me.
Lin Zimo suddenly had a little interest and wondered if this third sister Chu was Chu Hanlu's third sister? He knew that there were more people surnamed Chu in Pingnan County, and there were more daughters. Therefore, I can't hastily conclude that this is another case of public affairs and family affairs. After all, he has a relationship with Chu Hanlu's family.
The process of each case is always very similar. Lin Zimo, who left the signature, wanted to bring the relevant people involved in the case to the lobby. In the past, the magistrate didn't wait for anyone. If you really encounter such a situation, you can either review it the next day or go back to the back hall for tea. Lin Zimo, who did not plan to retrial another day, returned to his government office. Without leisurely drinking tea, he seized the time to deal with business. Even if he is a corrupt official, he is a good corrupt official who is diligent and loves the people.
Lin Zimo, who invested in it, did not feel that time passed quickly. The arrival of an official reported that the relevant people had arrived at the hall. He came to the lobby again and sat on the special seat of the county magistrate. Looking down the court, I found that Chu Sanmei, Chu Da, Chu Han, and Sun Jun's parents were all kneeling below.
Lin Zimo said weakly, "Sun Jun's, you can say it first. What the hell happened?
Sun Jun's father is a small businessman who opens a soy sauce shop in the county. He showed great enthusiasm and sincerity in order to climb the relationship between the Chu family and Lin Zimo. He not only offered favorable conditions, but also took the initiative to go to the Chu family to propose marriage again and again. In the past, Chu Sanmei was an unpopular woman, but now she has become the number one popular in Pingnan County. In the final analysis, the relationship between the Chu family and Lin Zimo, the county magistrate, attracted them.
Before he was promoted to the head of Pingnan County, the Chu family said that Chu Hanlu was not Lin Zimo's concubine, but Ping's wife. Both insiders and uninformed people know that the youngest daughter of the Chu family and his wife Yang Mengqi married into the Lin family at the same time. With the joint efforts of the Chu family, most of the people in Pingnan County believe that Chu Hanlu is Lin Zimo's wife.
Father Sun took a look at his son, kneeling next to him, and said with reason and evidence: "Marriage has been the order of parents and the words of the matchmaker since ancient times. If you want to violate the old rules handed down from past dynasties, that is, disloyalty and unfilial piety.
As soon as the hat of unfaithful and unfilial was put down, Sun Jun couldn't catch it and said, "Dad, I didn't mean to disobey you, but you didn't look at what the third daughter of the Chu family looked like? At least I'm also a scholar, so I don't want to be laughed at. You always feel sorry for me and quit this marriage!"
His words made Chu Han extremely unhappy and said, "It's embarrassing to say that he is a scholar. Why didn't he even pass the exam? I still think my daughter is ugly. You don't take a pee and take a picture of yourself. Do you really think you are a talented person? If you have the ability, you can compare with my son-in-law. What is it? If you hadn't said everything in front of us, if you want to marry my daughter, you can wait for the next life!"
"I dare not compare with the old man. After all, he is the best among our scholars." Sun Jun, who knew himself, turned around and counterattacked, "Since you don't want to marry your daughter to me, I won't be tall with you. In order to express my Sun family's apology to you, let us take out some money as compensation, and let's stop this marriage!"
Chu Da, who didn't do it, said excitedly, "You are a yellow-mouthed child, and you don't deserve to talk to us. Although our Chu family is not a big family in Pingnan County, they always have a little face. If you cancel the marriage like this, your daughter's name will be ruined by you. How can our Chu family stay in this county in the future?
The parents of both sides resolutely disagreed with Sun Jun's statement and always opposed him, while the sad Chu Sanmei cried. Sitting in the hall, Lin Zimo felt how harmful it was to fall in love freely between men and women. However, he can't show deep sympathy for Sun Jun. After all, Chu Sanmei is the kind of woman who makes him want to turn away at first sight.
Lin Zimo saw that they were getting more and more noisy. He picked up Zijinmu and patted them and said, "This is a public hall, not a vegetable market."
Chu Sanmei, who was scared, no longer dared to cry, but shed tears. The others kneeling under the hall also stopped in an instant. Lin Zimo felt that this matter was really troublesome. It is impossible for me to challenge the concept of marriage in this era, and I don't want to force Sun Jun and Chu Sanmei to be tied together.
Lin Zimo, who entered and retreated from the valley, advised kindly: "It is difficult for Qing officials to break the housework. I think you'd better go down and discuss it first. As for Sun Jun, I want to tell you that you can't just look at a person's appearance. In fact, people's hearts are more important. I believe that Chu Sanmei has many advantages, but you haven't noticed it yet.
His persuasion to Sun Jun was so that he didn't even believe such a lie. Sun Jun, who was kneeling on the ground, was afraid to say, 'Why don't you marry her'? After saying what he wanted to say, Lin Zimo patted the purple goldwood in his hand and shouted 'out of the hall'. The six people who got up turned around and walked slowly out of the lobby.
He was afraid of spoiling this kind of marriage to Father Sun, but he didn't want to take advantage of others, so he bowed and made amends to the Chu couple. Sun Jun's mother loves her son and doesn't want to say anything wrong. After all, this Chu Sanmei is a little ugly. The Chu family who left the county government left with a low face.
"I think you are the head of the family, but our son's wish! For a third sister of Chu, why make your father and son look like enemies? Sun Jun's mother persuaded each other painstakingly.
"You are a woman, and you know nothing." Father Sun, with his hands behind his back, said with an unhappy face, "In the past, Chu Da would politely call Mr. Sun when he saw me. At that time, I felt that he was full of poverty and bad luck. Why is he so bullish now? That's not because he married his little daughter to Lin Zhixian.
After a pause, he hated his son and mother-in-law and said, "With the relationship between the government, one of Chu Da's two sons has become a fast catcher, and the other has become the leader of the 100-person volunteer team. Have you forgotten that our family suffered less anger from the government in the government? Why are you angry with them? Isn't that because there is no one in the government? If our son and Chu Sanmei get married, there will be a layer of in-law relationship. At that time, I want to see who else dares to bully our family again?
