The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 220

At such a time, County Magistrate Wu submitted a memorandum about cotton planting on tidal flats to the imperial court. Emperor Hongzhi must have been happy with the dragon's heart, and the rewards came second. At least County Magistrate Wu left an impression on the emperor. , Let the emperor know that Yuyao, thousands of miles away, has such a good county magistrate who shares the worries of the court and seeks the well-being of the people.

The so-called simplicity is in the heart of the emperor, that is the case.

For a county magistrate who was born as a top-ranked Jinshi, if he wanted to prosper, he could only depend on his luck.

However, County Magistrate Wu was really lucky to meet Xie Shen, an evildoer who has been educated for 500 years and has been educated for 500 years.

Xie Shen was also unlucky, and met an old parent like County Magistrate Wu who was eager to improve his political achievements.

At this moment, the young man can only feel that it is difficult to draw a dragon and a tiger, knowing people and faces but not knowing the heart.

People's hearts are not old, people's hearts are not old
For County Magistrate Wu, directly submitting the memorial to let the emperor remember him is obviously a shortcut to the end.

But all shortcuts have risks. For County Magistrate Wu, his official position is too low. If he cannot produce enough informative memorials, it may have the opposite effect and be disgusted by the emperor.

So although he had this in mind, he never found a suitable opportunity.

Until Xie Shen proposed the idea of ​​planting cotton on the tidal flats, County Magistrate Wu felt that the time had come.

The reason why County Magistrate Wu did not give Xie Shen any substantive support was because he was also in a wait-and-see attitude.After all, the government cannot easily express its position. What if cotton planting in tidal flats fails?Isn't that magistrate Wu slapping himself in the face?Doesn't that mean the government is incompetent?
But once the cotton trial is successful, County Magistrate Wu can jump out without any scruples.

Although he didn't give Xie Shen any substantive support before, after all, he had verbal encouragement, so this can be a fuss.

Verbal encouragement can be interpreted as different meanings in different situations, and now County Magistrate Wu can say that this is the government's strong support for Xie Xiaoxiucai
People can be shameless, but it is really rare to be shameless to the level of County Magistrate Wu.

One must know that not long ago, County Magistrate Wu had put down his face and offered to show kindness to Xie Shen, hoping that he would make friends with his nephew.

His nephew was working in the Ministry of Officials. If he could be transferred to the Department of Literature and Selection, the matter of performance appraisal for County Magistrate Wu would be settled.

Although Xie Shen is still young, in the eyes of County Magistrate Wu, he has a bright future, so he was thinking of wooing him.

But now the situation is completely different, County Magistrate Wu has the opportunity to make his name directly in front of the emperor, how can he let it go.

Even if doing so might offend Xie Shen, so what?

After all, Xie Shen is just a small scholar now, and he is in the territory of Yuyao, under the jurisdiction of County Magistrate Wu.No matter how high the prestige and reputation of this son is, can he overshadow him, the Yuyao parent official?

People are selfish, and it is difficult to share with others when faced with absolute interests.

County magistrate Wu is a traditional civil servant, and climbing the ranks is naturally the most important pursuit in life.

Let alone Xie Shen, even if his mother and father blocked his way, County Magistrate Wu would kick him away without hesitation.

From his tone, Xie Shen had heard the general idea.

After thinking about the words for a while, Xie Shen had no choice but to bow his hands and said, "I don't know how the county lord is going to write the memorial?"

After thinking about it, he felt that he was really unwilling not to ask. As for the consequences of asking, Xie Shen had no time to think about it.

"This"

County Magistrate Wu stroked his short beard while meditating.

He originally wanted to reprimand that this is not what you should ask, but considering that Xie Shen has Xu Guan behind him, it is not appropriate to tear his face.

Besides, Xie Shen came up with the idea of ​​planting cotton on the tidal flats. County Magistrate Wu can take the credit away without hesitation, so Xie Shen is not allowed to ask?

This also seems reasonable.
"Of course it is to report to His Majesty the whole process of growing cotton in the tidal flat."

County magistrate Wu chose a vague statement and said lightly.

As for the specific wording details, County Magistrate Wu did not intend to tell Xie Shen.

Xie Shen was very disappointed, but he knew that County Magistrate Wu was determined not to continue talking, so he stopped pressing.

"In this way, the students will not disturb the old parents."

After handing over his hands and leaving the K county government office, Xie Shen's suppressed emotions finally broke out.

Since he came to Daming, he has generally been going smoothly. Although he will encounter some troubles, they can be solved easily.

But this time it seems to be in trouble.

Cotton planting was very popular in Daming, but cotton planting on tidal flats was absolutely unprecedented.

This credit obviously belongs to Xie Shen, but now it is going to be taken away by Magistrate Wu, how can the young man be reconciled!

The sinister human heart is vividly reflected at this moment, that is, parents and officials in a dignified county all look like local ruffians.

When Xie Shen returned home, Wang Shouwen and Xie Pi happened to wake up drunk.

Seeing Xie Shen's haggard face and worried expression, the two of them stepped forward quickly and asked.

Xie Shen shook his head and let out a long sigh, then walked towards the study, motioning for the two to come in and talk.

After the three sat down in the study, Xie Shen narrated the whole trip to the county government office.

The two friends looked different.

"I didn't expect that County Magistrate Wu would be so shameless!"

Wang Shouwen clenched his fist and swung it resentfully.

Xie Pi also frowned and said, "Brother Shen, you didn't hear me wrong, did the county lord really say that?"

Xie Shen smiled wryly and said: "How can you misunderstand this kind of thing, the county lord really wants to write the memorial in person and send it directly to the capital for His Majesty's review."

Facing the naked robbery, Wang Shouwen couldn't stand it anymore. He said with a hey, "We have worked so hard to build dams and divert aqueducts to flush the tidal flats. He didn't do anything to help except for talking a few words." .It's good now, this guy wants to take credit with a wave of his big hand, there is no such reason in the world!"

Xie Pi sighed and said, "Brother Shouwen is right, but County Magistrate Wu is a county magistrate, and the pen is in his hands. We can't interfere with how the memorial is written."

After all, a scholar is just a scholar, and there is an essential difference from an official. If they are jurors, Magistrate Wu may be a little jealous, but he will not pay attention to a scholar.

"No, this matter must not be settled so easily. I will write a letter and ask someone to bring it to Father."

Wang Shouwen didn't have the temperament to tolerate, so he immediately threw his fist and said.

"By the way, brother Pixian, you can also write a letter to your father. Our two families work together, and I don't believe that we can't deal with a small county magistrate."

Xie Shen was a little stunned when he heard this.

He almost forgot that his two "little followers" were the second generation of super officials.The fathers of the two are more famous than the other. Wang Hua and Xie Qian were ranked first in the entire Ming Dynasty, and they were even more powerful figures in the Hongzhi Dynasty.
