Chapter 643
Fuzhou.
It rained heavily all night and didn't stop until dawn.
The bluestone floor tiles on the street are uneven, and a pile of water will emerge when you step on it.
The pedestrians were careful, but there were still times when they were not well-stepped, so they could only frown.
The carriage was no longer particular, and it was galloping by. The splashed water wet the clothes and shoes of pedestrians on the roadside, making a group of people pointing at the car that was away and cursing "immorality".
Jiang Xu was also among the pedestrians, and his shoes and socks were already wet.
This is the summer here. It’s pretty good now. When the rain is more, not only the villages and towns below, but also the main city, the low-lying areas are full of water accumulation, which can cover your calves.
Although it is not flooding, it is flooded every year, so how can the people not complain?
As Jiang Xu remembers, the yamen has never managed these things well, and even said that it will be flooded in the coming year, and it will be useless if it is done.
Of course, this "white division" refers to villages and towns, alleys and alleys where ordinary people live in the city. The government offices and the large houses of the government not only occupy high ground, but the ground is built flat.
When Jiang Xu was young, he lived in Wulong and thought that such bumpy things were the norm.
Later, I studied more books and went to several big cities in Shu. I gradually realized that this situation was actually wrong.
When I went to Beijing for scientific research, Jiang Xu saw various differences through so many cities, villages and towns along the way.
It is true that this difference comes from geographical location, gap between the rich and the poor, the habits of the people, etc., but he thought that these are not the reasons for the Fuzhou Yamen to do nothing.
When he came back this time, he had his guidance all the way with Master Hua, which opened his eyes.
In the past, when I looked at urban construction along the way, I could only look at the surface. I was not an outsider, but I was never an expert.
After Master Hua's explanation, he suddenly realized.
Adapt to local conditions. These four words are simple to say, but difficult to do.
But as long as you do it with your heart, Fuzhou may change, instead of what he is like now, he will get a foot for water the next day, and the rain will fill his calves for a few days.
Jiang Xu thought while walking uphill.
The closer you are to the yamen, the less water is accumulated. When you enter the government gate, the bluestone floor tiles are very flat.
Not far away, several officials came out laughing. When Jiang Xu heard the movement, he raised his hand and pressed his forehead, and deliberately staggered under his feet.
When Judge Li saw it, he said happily: "Mr. Jiang is here? We thought you had to sleep until nap today. Did you drink a lot yesterday?"
"I vomited all night," Jiang Xu waved his hand bitterly, "Those two brothers are so numerous that I am not a match for. After drinking, I can't sleep. My forehead is like a blowout. Instead of lying down, I'll come to the yamen."
Another judge Jin, Jiang Xu, spoke sarcastically: "When the top scholar Lang Guang is studying, how can he eat wine? Instead of interacting with them, it is better to write a few articles."
Jiang Xu said: "I am a newcomer and I always give you a face to you. Even the elders are polite to the Zhen family. I am a newcomer and people call me for drinking, can I still refuse?"
Judge Jin rolled his eyes: "It's just a concubine, my mother's house will blew her nose and stare. If a governor's wife comes out, I don't know where to lift her tail."
Judge Li hurriedly said, "Oh, all of us are troubled by the Zhen family, so don't even talk about our own people."
Shangfeng is still having fun with the Zhen family. What else can these little people do?
Whether they were working in the two yamen for a long time or the new Jiang Xu, they had to serve the Zhen family.
Jiang Xu pounded his head, looked curious and asked, "I heard that when the aunt came back to her parents' home, did our yamen work a lot?"
"No?" Judge Jin couldn't care about Jiang Xu anymore, and he was even more annoyed by the Zhen family. "The prefect has to smile."
"If the governor's wife is back to visit her relatives," Jiang Xu said, "the entire Shu yamen will have to be welcomed by ten miles?"
The two judges exchanged glances.
That's it, but I can't become the governor's wife anyway, so I'll be so proud of it.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the prefect Yuan, and Jiang Xu said, "Shu is Shu, Huguang is Huguang. No matter how capable Governor Liu is, he doesn't have to retreat like this, right? Why? Governor Liu is also a bastard? The wind blows his pillow for two rounds, and he will be domineering in Shu? The court has the rules of the court, and his hands are not that long."
Judge Li said "Oh": "Governor Liu is a person praised by the late emperor. Our Shu masters are almost inspiring. Besides, the grandson of the Liu family is the companion of the Fourth Prince? It's easy to do things in Beijing!"
He obviously didn't see the prefect Yuan. After he finished speaking, he saw that the judge Jin was winking at him. He quickly turned his head and saw that he met the prefect Yuan's dark face.
Judge Li:...
He made such a lot of words!
One of the men in Shu was the uncle of the prefect Yuan and the deputy envoy of the Censorate.
He was too talkative and almost said that the Nian was very interested. When the wind was blowing, the aunt of the prefect Yuan never blew the concubine of Governor Liu.
This is really...
Judge Li smiled at Magistrate Yuan, very embarrassed.
Prefect Yuan looked at Prefect Li coldly because there was such an uncle who had to give Prefect Yuan a little face to him, not only Fuzhou, but also Shu. When did he be underestimated?
Not to mention, anyone underestimated his uncle.
The prefect Yuan shook his sleeves and left, leaving several subordinates looking at each other.
Judge Li knew that he had said something wrong, so he pulled Judge Jin away. Jiang Xu stood there with his forehead and held his back for a while. After raising his eyelids.
He did eat too much wine last night, and he was really unable to drink, but his shaky posture was pretending.
The twists and turns in the officialdom are coming and going, Jiang Xu is still exploring, but Master Hua has already figured out the personalities of these people.
What should I say today? How to say it? Master Hua taught it clearly and Jiang Xu learned it easily.
The temperament of the prefect Yuan was despised by someone, so he must be unable to swallow his breath.
Whether he went to find trouble for the Zhen family or complained to the deputy envoy of Nian, it was the foundation for a good show in the future.
As for the Zhen family, Jiang Xu had wine with the two brothers last night. What drank into his stomach was alcohol, and what poured into his mind was a sleeping medicine.
With Jiang Xu's literary talent, when he wants to brag about others, he can blow people up and go straight to the sky.
When people get up, will they still be at ease?
I have never done much serious things, and I have added more and more trouble, and I have become more and more confused about my surname.
Such a personality will be a conflict with the yamen sooner or later.
After all, after so many messy things were done for the Zhen family, how could the officials who were doing business be without complaints?
In those conversations just now, Judge Jin was disdainful and Judge Li made a mistake.
