"This is the Fengyang County government office?”
After passing through the bustling streets and passing by the hurried caravans several times, he was shocked.
Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage finally stopped in front of an extremely inconspicuous building.
Logically speaking, the county office of a county was not the most magnificent building in the entire county.
However, it should at least be one of the best buildings.
This was basically common sense.
To a certain extent, approaching the county government represented the face of the imperial court.
However, when Zhu Yuanzhang brought Zhu Di and the guards outside the government office of Fengyang County, which he had been waiting for a long time.
He looked at the Fengyang Prefecture Office, which seemed out of place compared to the surroundings.
Everyone immediately fell into chaos.
Although the government office of Fengyang City was not dilapidated, on the contrary, whether it was the paint on the door or the plaque, it was exceptionally clean and bright.
However, compared to the green bricks and tiles, the three-story building and the restaurant door could be seen everywhere.
This county government gave people an inexplicable feeling of depression.
"This Liu Bai is simply a disgrace to the Imperial Court! I was still thinking that this Fengyang City is so prosperous, but the government office of Fengyang City is actually..."
Zhu Di, who was originally filled with anticipation, saw the slightly embarrassing Fengyang Prefecture Office in comparison.
He immediately felt that his entire person was not well.
In his mind, Fengyang City was so prosperous and magnificent.
The yamen of Fengyang City was not very magnificent, but it should at least be similar to the surrounding buildings.
After comparing it with the surrounding buildings, he realized that it was not a big deal.
Zhu Di could tell.
The yamen of Fengyang City was simply out of place compared to the entire city.
"Embarrassing? What kind of person was he embarrassing! I think this is very good."
Facing Zhu Di's complaints, Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and patted his head.
"As a county magistrate, whether or not he can bring honor to the court depends on how gorgeous his county office is. As a father and mother, the best way for him to give face to the court was to see if the people under his rule were doing well. As long as the citizens of Fengyang City lived and worked in peace and contentment. That would be giving the Imperial Court face!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sized up the front of Fengyang City's government office as he lectured Zhu Di.
After being taught a lesson by his old man…
Zhu Di touched the place where he was beaten up just now, as if he understood something.
He stopped talking.
"Go and pay your respects. Let's try to see the magistrate.”
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking,
Zhu Di hurriedly went forward to kowtow.
Here, Zhu Yuanzhang also made a small test. When he paid his respects, he even deliberately let Zhu Di use the identity of a merchant.
Merchants did not have a high social status in this era.
Especially in the eyes of the officials, the status of a merchant was even lower than that of a farmer.
However, when the guards of Fengyang Yamen heard that the other party was a merchant and wanted to see the county magistrate, they were shocked.
However, he didn't show any neglect.
He wasn't being polite, but he definitely didn't look down on her.
This attitude made Zhu Yuanzhang very satisfied.
...
"This month's taxes have basically been collected. I think the taxes in the industrial zone should be lowered a little. After all, the businesses in Fengyang City are basically driven by the industrial zone. Shouldn't we give them some concessions?”
"Also, there have been a lot of permanent residents in the city recently, and the Urban area has begun to become crowded again.”
"Oh right... This month's tax revenue had more than doubled compared to last month. So much tax revenue…Aren't you going to keep some?"
In the plain office of the county magistrate in Fengyang County.
As the secretary of the county magistrate, Liu Shiman looked at Liu Bai, who was flipping through the documents, with a worried look in her eyes.
She knew Liu Bai's situation. He was just a small county magistrate, but he was being suppressed by the prime minister.
If Liu Bai was careless and Hu Weiyong caught something on him, he would be killed.
He would be in danger.
The waters of the imperial court were deep and murky.
Liu Bai's status was low and his words were light. Now that Fengyang County's development was rising like the sun, if they didn't restrict and restrain it.
Then Liu Bai would be in danger!
"I want to stay too! Have you ever seen a county magistrate so poor that he stole his secretary's money to eat?”
Liu Bai heard Liu Shiman's report and reminder.
A trace of melancholy could not help but appear on his handsome face.
When Liu Shi Man heard Liu Bai mention this, her face darkened.
"You still have the cheek…"
"I'm also very helpless! We can't starve to death!"
...
Liu Shiman had known him for almost two years.
Liu Bai, who had only changed a few sets of clothes.
She gritted her teeth slightly.
She made a decision that even she herself could not believe.
"That... Why don't we deduct a portion of the tax? A lot of the office furniture in the yamen is very old. We can use this money to improve the working environment, and..."
"No! Absolutely not. Other things could be discussed, but this was definitely not allowed!”
When he heard Liu Shiman say that she would deduct taxes.
Liu Bai raised his hand and interrupted her.
It was impossible to be corrupt.
It was impossible in this lifetime!
"You... Why are you so stubborn! I don't care about you anymore!"
Liu Shi Man looked at Liu Bai who didn't listen to her advice. She rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, then turned around and ran out.
Actually, she wasn't like this.
However, every time he saw Liu Bai single-handedly leading the entire Fengyang City to prosperity, he was so poor that he could barely eat.
She felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"Master... You've made Miss Liu angry again!"
Not long after Liu Shi Man ran out, a bailiff rushed in from outside.
He thought of Liu Shiman who ran out angrily just now and asked carefully.
"Aiya, she's just like this. She'll be fine in a while. What's the matter?”
"Old Master, there's a group of merchants outside. They say they're from Heaven Ying Prefecture! I want to see you."
"He's from Yingtian Prefecture! That's a big client!"
