Their Lucky Star Was Transmigrated! Chapter 662: What should a parent officer do?
Chapter 662 What should a parent officer do?
While Mr. Xu received Huang Jixiang and other loyal magistrates of the Tang Dynasty, Fu Bao was strolling in Shicheng County.
Shicheng County is not a prosperous place.
To put it harshly, Shicheng County could be called poverty.
Especially after Huang Jixiang and others set up their horses to fight against Jieyun Dao, the life of Shicheng County became more and more difficult.
Shicheng County is located in the place where the three waters meet. If the water transportation is good, this Shicheng County should be a rich place. It is a pity that after Huang Jixiang took office, he issued a notice to abandon several important docks in Shicheng County because of the disaster caused by the water bandits.
Without shipping, the water bandits in Shicheng County had no income, so naturally they dispersed.
As a result, Huang Jixiang got an honor in the year-end assessment.
In just one year as an official, he eliminated the flood of bandits in the territory. What kind of skill is this?
The examination department of the imperial government did not come down to understand the situation in Shicheng County in person. They only knew that the water bandit disaster in Shicheng County was gone. If this is not a merit, what is a merit?
As for the people of Shicheng County, are they sad?
Not many people really care.
Fubao lost interest after wandering the streets of Shicheng County for a while.
In a huge county, there are not many shops, and the things sold are pitiful.
Then, after hearing the comments of the people on the street betting on Huang Jixiang, a high-ranking official, Fubao had a feeling that the people in Shicheng County had put up a clean official such as Huang Jixiang, and it was really a blood mold for eight lifetimes.
In order to clear the water bandits, they control the shipping.
What is this called?
This is called giving up food for choking!
The fields in Shicheng County are barren, and the people live by raising silkworms, growing hemp, and weaving cloth. But as the shipping was controlled, the people's mulberry road was almost cut off.
Yellow Jixiang is also ruthless.
Knowing that the life of the people was not easy, he reluctantly resigned and asked for the people's orders.
Even, Huang Jixiang often went down to the fields and worked hard with the people.
Every time a commoner encounters bullying from local wealthy people, Huang Jixiang always decides for the people.
In this way, Huang Jixiang created a good name of Huang Qingtian in Shicheng County.
Is Huang Jixiang a good official?
This matter, really can only be seen by the benevolent, and the wise see wisdom.
Anyway, the people of Shicheng County recognize Huang Jixiang.
When Fubao returned from the street to her temporary residence with Xu Lao Er, he saw his second brother drinking alone.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Are those county magistrates bothering you?"
Fu Bao is the first time to see her second brother like this. In her impression, her second brother is an absolute optimist. When the sky falls, he can be happy.
But today, my second brother is just like the eggplant that was beaten by Shuang, withered.
"Little sister, do you think it's better to be an honest official or a corrupt official?"
Second Xu threw the question away when he saw Fu Bao's return.
As soon as he heard his second brother's question, Fu Bao probably understood what his second brother was thinking.
"Second brother, is this question still worth asking?"
Fu Bao thought for a while, then rolled his eyes, "That must be an honest official!"
"Huang Jixiang is an honest official, but the people of Shicheng County are living too hard!"
"Second brother, the people of Shicheng County are suffering. In the final analysis, it is not because Huang Jixiang is an honest official. The reason is that Huang Jixiang is not suitable for being a parent in a county!"
Fu Bao was thinking the same thing on his way back from the street.
And it is precisely because of this that she can quickly give Xu Lao Er an answer.
"Why?"
"Because he doesn't know how to be flexible, because he lacks ability to do things!"
Fu Bao doesn't think that Huang Jixiang is a good person because he is diligent, clear, and democratic.
Maybe Huang Jixiang's intentions were good, but there have been too many cases of good intentions doing bad things from ancient times to the present.
"Second brother, is Huang Jixiang doing the right thing in order to clear the floods?"
"Definitely not!"
Second Xu didn't even think about it, "Since there are water bandits infested, it is time to lead troops to expedition and destroy these water bandits. Because of fear of intrusion by water bandits, ships are not allowed to go into the water. This is simply too stupid!"
"Yes, so, Huang Jixiang, he doesn't deserve to be a county parent!"
Fu Bao spreads out her hands, she has already said what she should say, and the rest, she doesn't need her nonsense!
"Little sister, but people think Huang Jixiang is a good official!"
"That's because the people are so foolish!"
Such a judgment, while insulting, is true.
Huang Jixiang convinced people with his conduct.
This guy, you could say he's a gentleman.
However, it was Huang Jixiang's conduct that fooled the people, causing them to forget what Huang Jixiang should do as a county magistrate because of this little favor.
The county magistrate is a county parent official.
Since you have become a parent official, you should benefit one party and seek the well-being of the people under your own control.
What makes a good parent?
First of all, he has to let his children have food and clothing, and then he is educated.
But now, Huang Jixiang has educated the people, but it has left many people hungry, and some even have to sell their sons and daughters.
From this point of view, Huang Jixiang is definitely not a qualified parental official.
Yellow Jixiang's official voice is good, and the exam is also good.
When his term in Shicheng County expires, he is bound to be promoted.
But for such a person, the bigger the officials, the greater the damage to the people.
"Second brother, did the magistrate Huang tell you something?"
"Yeah!"
Second Xu twitched the corners of his mouth, "He said that Shicheng County is poor, the people have no surplus food, and the county government does not have much food reserves. I hope we can raise our own food and grass!"
"That's it?"
Fu Bao glanced at his second brother, just this little thing, as for drinking alone here?
"Where does this stop?"
Second Xu sighed, "He also urged me to march as soon as possible, my second brother, to sweep away the rebellion for the imperial court!"
"This man is a fool, second brother, why do you take his words to heart?"
Fu Bao also took it.
Second Xu sighed again, "I don't want to pay attention to him either. However, this man brought many respected old people from Shicheng County with him!"
"Also, the surrounding counties allied with Shicheng County also have the same attitude."
"I want your second brother to march as soon as possible, but there is no food and grass. The soldiers and horses in their hands are still dispatched by them, and I will not control them!"
"Little sister, I don't think they trust us!"
"Bullshit!"
Fu Bao glared at his second brother directly, "Although Jie Yun Dao has blocked the only way to enter and leave Jiannan Mansion, they can't get any news from the outside world, but Jie Yun Dao is definitely trying to persuade them to surrender."
"So, they must know what our family is doing in the northwest!"
"You don't say it, but in your heart, 99% of you think that we are also scoundrels and thieves!"
"Let the second brother go and rob fortune, in their opinion, this is dog bites dog!"
