199 Farmer's County Magistrate

The emperor was not in a hurry to go out to investigate this matter first, but sent out several young people.

A few days later, what these people heard seemed to be praise for the local official. No matter how difficult the life was, none of them said that the parent official was bad.

These news made the emperor curious about the official he had never met. Finally, the emperor felt that he should personally meet the seven-grade official called Yu Song.

When he found Yu Song, he was in the field. Under the guidance of the people, the emperor found Yu Song mixed among the farmers!

He was also dressed in short coarse cloth and wearing straw shoes on his feet. At this time, he was holding a plow and driving cattle and turning over the ground in the field!

Seeing Yu Song, Zuo Junzhong whispered to the emperor, "Do you want to call him over and ask questions?"

The emperor shook his head and said, "If you want to ask directly, we can just sit in the county government. Now, I just want to see what kind of person this county magistrate is.

When Zuo Junzhong heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "If you still don't want to reveal your identity, I'd better avoid it for the time being. In other way, he will recognize me."

The emperor turned his face and looked at Zuo Junzhong, thinking so. It is estimated that when the list was released, Yu Song also had to stand a hundred meters away from the hall and see himself clearly. However, Zuo Junzhong was the main exam that year. When these students on the list met him, they may not be clear... It's also good to let him avoid it now.

The emperor nodded, then looked at the others and said, "Leave Worry-free, Ya and Zufan, you all go back first."

As soon as he listened to let others go back, Zuo Liang was a little worried and said, "I'd better stay here so as not to..."

"Go ahead. You guys don't look like business people. It's useless to stay here!"

"That..." Fuhai wanted to speak and was also blocked by the emperor.

"There are several people here who take care of me. Are you afraid that I will not be served? You can also go back to rest..."

Seeing the emperor's insistence, the others did not say much and quietly retreated.

On the way back, Zuo Haoqi looked at Wenxi and said with a smile, "You are clever today. Why didn't you say you wanted to stay?"

"It's just farming, what's good to see!" Wenxi said with a bored face, "Otherwise, you can go out with me!"

Zuo Liang heard this and smiled. This is his daughter-in-law! It seems that there has been no shortage of such people around her since she was a child. When she was a child, she was mortal, but now she...

Zuo Liang looked at his father, and his father nodded and agreed, so the four who left went all the way to the market and went all the way back to the inn.

......

"How do you want to talk to this county magistrate?" He Xuan asked.

"I'm afraid it's not the right time to go now. Wait a minute, let's talk to him when they take a break.

He Xuan looked around. There was really no place to rest, but it was not far away. There were a few big stones to sit down. She smiled and said to the emperor, "Then let's sit there and wait."

Several people walked over. He Xuan took off the cloak on her body, folded it a few times, and put it on the stone. Then she said, "At this time, the yin on the stone is still too heavy, and it's better."

The emperor smiled and said, "Fuhai is still worried that you won't serve!" I look at you more carefully than him. Otherwise, you should stay with me and serve me!"

Hearing this, the Liao brothers looked at each other. Liao Yong said with a smile, "If you really leave her by your side, you will be angry!"

"What? Did he get angry with you? The emperor asked with a smile.

"I didn't see her angry with my brother, but my brother. I feel uncomfortable not being scolded by Wuyou every day!"

Hearing their words, the emperor smiled happily.

When they laughed enough, He Xuan said, "You two really don't listen to the point. The emperor is compared with the rich father-in-law! Your Majesty, don't you want me to be his apprentice? That really echoed the words of the virtuous prince!"

Ah? You..." Yuya stared at He Xuan with wide eyes and swallowed the last half of the sentence. What he wanted to say was: What are you going to caste?

"What are you talking about?" Liao Yong asked.

"At the beginning, Yunzhen recommended him to be the waiter of the Yellow Gate!" The emperor said with a smile.

"Puff..." At this time, the brothers were even more happy!

"Don't worry, I don't lack the waiters. I have fewer people who can listen to me. If you have time, go to the palace and talk to me!" The emperor said with a smile.

"It's not difficult. However, I think that the little prince is getting bigger and bigger, and I'm afraid you don't have time to pay attention to us!"

This sentence stuck in the emperor's heart. He looked at Liao Yong and thought about his young son, with a look of joy on his face.

They were talking here, but they saw the county magistrate coming towards them with a deep and shallow foot.

"Six people..." Yu Song said while hugging his fist at them, "Looking at you, are you a passing guest? There is a little distance from the official road here. Didn't you go the wrong way?"

Seeing Yu Song coming, the emperor stood up, arched his hand at him and replied, "No. I came to look for someone, and others said that I could find it here. I just saw that you were busy, so I didn't bother you..."

"Oh? Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

"I... look for Lord Yu, the county magistrate of this county."

When Yu Song heard that these people were looking for him, he couldn't help looking carefully at these people standing in front of him.

The elder led by

, although dressed in ordinary clothes, looks extraordinary and majestic. And the three young descendants standing behind him are also very romantic and handsome... But if you look closely, although these people's clothes are ordinary, the materials are top-quality, and even the cloak sitting under the buttocks of the master is not expensive!

This made Yu Song draw countless question marks in his heart. These people are rich or noble. Why do they come here this season?

"How many of you are noble! It's Yu Song. I don't know what to teach?" Yu Song asked.

"So you are Lord Yu, disrespectful." The emperor smiled and said, "You guys still haven't saluted you."

After listening to the emperor's words, the Liao brothers felt funny in their hearts. They had grown so big that they really didn't give a gift to a seven-grade official! Well, even if you don't talk about yourself, He Xuan is now from the third grade. How can she salute such a seventh grade county magistrate?

Just when they hesitated, they saw He Xuan bow to the ground and said, "The younger generation has seen Lord Yu."

Seeing that He Xuan had already salute, Liao Yong and Liao Geng had to force themselves and bow to the county magistrate.

"You haven't told me yet. What are you looking for?"

Yu Song is not a person who likes to struggle with scenes and salutes, so he asked directly.

"Oh, it's like this... We father and son have done a small business. I also know some friends. I have a friend who is an official in the household department. A few days ago, when I was chatting in Beijing, I heard him talk about adults..."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Yu Song was even more puzzled. Now the adults in the court can casually tell others about the things in the court... However, maybe there is really such a possibility. They think that they are very good friends and talk about the difficult things they have encountered.

"I'm ashamed to say. But if it's not so, I'm afraid that my folds won't be handed over to the household department!" Yu Song sighed and said.

"Oh, is it really as my brother said in the memorial, is the disaster here extremely serious?"

"The snow disaster is not serious, but the cold damage is very severe. I don't know if you don't know the farming time here. When the temperature dropped last year, it was the time when we were about to harvest here. But I don't know how many crops were destroyed by that freezing rain..."

"Didn't the Ministry of Household allocate relief to you?"

After listening to the emperor's question, Yu Song shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Yes! So much! I didn't know until I was so old that the Ministry of Household would give us two liters of bran per liter of rice... This winter, almost all the people in the city rely on those bran and dried vegetables dried in summer, and then slightly mixed with rice noodles! Even so, by now, the seeds we sow in spring are at least half short! You said... alas..."

"bran?" Liao Geng looked at the emperor, and then at his brother and He Xuan.

It seems that what He Xuan said this morning is true! I'm afraid that such a thing can only be used by the lowest servants to put pillows in their own homes. Who would have thought that someone would send that thing to his mouth!

"So...is it the same elsewhere?" The emperor asked with a black face.

"I don't know that." Yu Song sneered and said, "Look at your appearance, I know that you are a person living at the top. Your friend is also a senior official sitting in the court. You can't see these things. For example, if the court sowed 500,000 taels of silver for the disaster-stricken place. If there is 100,000 taels in the place, it is normal; if there are 200,000 taels, it is grace; if there are more than 250,000 taels, it can only be said that the officials in contact have a great face! In fact, I haven't received more than a quarter of the relief money since I took office.

"What about the other silver?"

"Silver? Humph... Such a wild goose has passed through the plucking officialdom, even if it passes by an iron rooster covered with rust, it is estimated that it will become shiny all over here. What's more, the white silver!"

Looking at the emperor's darker and darker face, several young people looked at me, I looked at you, and no one dared to make a sound!
