Chapter 1984 Things about leaving office
The people in Suzhou were so reluctant to leave Zhu Pingan. Zhu Pingan's throat was almost smoking, but he still failed to persuade the people blocking the road.
In the end, a passerby called out to Zhu Ping'an, "Don't stop me, everyone, let Mr. Zhu take office quickly. With Mr. Zhu's ability, making meritorious service after taking office is not as simple as eating and drinking. Well, my lord is now If you become the governor of Zhejiang, if you make some merits after taking office, won't you be promoted to the governor of Jiangnan? By then, won't Master Zhu be our parent officer again?"
Pause this sentence! Zi's words moved the people blocking the road.
“Yes, with Mr. Zhu’s ability and ability, wouldn’t it be easy to do meritorious service? If you get promoted, you can become the governor of Jiangnan.”
"Everyone give way, don't delay Mr. Zhu's meritorious service. There are so many Japanese pirates in Zhejiang, so why worry about Mr. Zhu not doing his meritorious service. If I delay you for another quarter of an hour, your meritorious service will be delayed by a quarter of an hour, and you will be delayed by a quarter of an hour when you become the governor of Jiangnan."
“Everyone, please give in. Don’t make it difficult for Mr. Zhu. This is the emperor’s will. If you block the road again, Master Zhu will disobey the imperial edict. If the blame comes from above, isn’t it our great benefactor, Master Zhu?”
“Let’s give way.”
No. The young people then spoke, and slowly the crowded crowd emerged into a road just large enough for carriages to pass.
"Your Excellency, you can take office. Eat these food on the road."
"This is an old hen we raise at home. The stew is the most fragrant. Sir, take it home to make the soup and drink it."
"Sir, if you don't take it, do you dislike us?!"
Although they gave way, the enthusiastic people pushed the things in their hands towards Zhu Pingan.
Too enthusiastic.
Everyone wants to stuff their things into Zhu Pingan's arms, and everyone has enthusiasm and reasons that cannot be refused.
Zhu Ping'an walked towards a white-haired old woman and took the cracked ceramic bowl in her hand.
Then he received a piece of cooking cake from an old man, took a bite of the cooking cake and drank a sip of water.
Soon, a cooking cake and a bowl of water were drained.
"You fellow villagers, you are the parents who live and eat. After eating this cake and drinking this bowl of water, I have swallowed all your thoughts in my stomach. It is enough. I will definitely not miss it when I go to Zhejiang. It’s a disgrace to all Suzhou elders.”
Zhu Ping’an wiped his mouth, returned the bowl to the old lady, and said loudly to the people.
Zhu Ping'an took the initiative to drink a bowl of water and eat a piece of cake, which coincided with his calling the people the parents of food and clothing.
In this way, it will be easier for the people to accept the specialties that they are passionate about.
“You don’t need anything, but this Wanmin Umbrella is our heartfelt wish, Mr. Zhu, you must accept it.”
“It’s also ours.”
“ Our”
When Zhu Ping'an finally set off again, several carriages contained nearly a hundred umbrellas tied with strips of people's names.
"Giggle, brother Zhu, you can make a fortune by selling umbrellas." In the carriage, Li Shu couldn't help but chuckle.
“It’s really hard to reject such kindness. What should we do with so many umbrellas?” Zhu Pingan put his hand on his forehead, his head getting bigger.
“Gee, when someone leaves office, he is afraid that he will not be able to leave his post without the Wanmin Umbrella. He will not even leave his post without receiving the Wanmin Umbrella. It would be a good idea for you to get a few Wanmin Umbrellas and leave your post. There are so many Wanmin Umbrellas that you have to worry about how to deal with them. It’s really a full man who doesn’t know how hungry he is.”
Li Shujiao joked with a smile.
"Just go to Shaoxing, have someone take off the cloth and give it to the people anonymously. It will be effective."
Zhu Ping'an smiled bitterly.
"Miss, is it true that there are people who can't even receive a Wanmin Umbrella? Then they haven't done a single good thing."
Hua'er asked curiously.
Seeing that Zhu Ping'an had collected so many Wanmin Umbrellas, I thought that Wanmin Umbrellas were easy to obtain. Unexpectedly, there were officials who couldn't even receive a Wanmin Umbrella. I couldn't help being surprised, so I asked curiously. road.
"Do you think the Umbrella of All People is so good?! Of course there are people who cannot receive the Umbrella of All People. Most of them are corrupt officials who cannot receive even one, and even stupid and mediocre officials cannot receive one of the Umbrellas of All People. The common people have a feeling in their hearts. The pole said that only a good official who benefits one country during his term can receive the umbrella from the common people. "
Through the gap in the car window, Li Shu looked at the reluctant people outside, chasing the carriage to see them off, and sighed slowly. Xu said.
"If it were me, I wouldn't give them the Wanmin Umbrella. If they don't do good things, I wouldn't throw them rotten eggs."
Hua'er is quite empathetic.
“The common people dare not throw them rotten eggs in front of them, but when they leave, they often beat gongs, drums and set off firecrackers to celebrate. In ancient times, a corrupt magistrate who did all the good and bad things left office, and the common people I couldn't bear it anymore, so I gave him a plaque with the words "The sky is three feet high" and gave it to the corrupt magistrate."
Li Shu told Hua'er a story about a corrupt official who left office in ancient times.
"Huh? He has done all the good things and done all the bad things, so why do you still give him a favor? The sky is three feet high, and you praise him as being taller than the sky. He is really being advantaged."
< br>After Hua'er heard this, he couldn't help but said angrily that he felt it was too cheap for the common people to give bribes to corrupt officials.
“Gee, the corrupt official and the county magistrate received a compliment. He couldn’t close his mouth for a long time with joy. He also felt that this was the people’s praise for him. He said that during his tenure, the sky was three feet taller. This was not a compliment to him. Was he governed well? Therefore, on his way out of office, he showed off his faults to everyone he met. After he took office, he even showed off his faults to others. The plaque was hung outside the new government office, and he was also covered with red silk. What surprised him was that many people covered their mouths and laughed when they saw his plaque. When they met the common people who didn't smile, they even whispered, and then those who didn't originally smiled. The laughing people all covered their mouths and laughed." Li Shu looked at Hua'er who looked confused, covered her mouth and continued to talk.
"Huh? Yes, why does everyone laugh when they see his face?" Hua'er scratched his head in confusion.
"Giggle, that corrupt magistrate is just like you, he is also scratching his head." Li Shu couldn't stop giggling.
"Miss, tell me quickly, does that Bian have anything to say?" Hua'er was as curious as a cat scratching its heart.
"Miss, I can't think of any deep meaning in that Bian." Qin'er was also puzzled.
"Stupid, the sky is three feet high. Why is the sky three feet high? Isn't it because the local land was taken away by the corrupt magistrate? Doesn't this mean that the sky is three feet high? "Chi, the local people are mocking him," Li Shu explained.
“Oh, that’s it, geez, that corrupt official didn’t know he was being ridiculed, yet he showed off his weakness to everyone. It’s really embarrassing. Also, miss, what about him? Did you finally know? ”
After hearing the explanation, Hua'er couldn't help but giggle too, and finally asked the corrupt official with concern if he knew.
"I know, it was his newly recruited master who told him half a month later. He smashed the plaque and set it on fire. But it was too late. The people in the city knew that he was greedy and stupid. He is a corrupt official."
Li Shu said with a smile.
"You deserve it, giggle" There was joy in the carriage. (End of this chapter)
