Wu Zheng did not come to Shaoxing specifically.

He did make a private visit from a micro newspaper, but his destination was not Shaoxing.

Compared with more than a dozen prefectures under their rule, the two prefectures in Shaoxing and Hangzhou were the bases of Wu Zheng, especially Shaoxing Prefecture, the policy inclination is self-evident, and the degree of support and coordination between officials and the people is naturally very high.

Regarding whether the people accept the complete reduction of agricultural tax, private visits cannot be conducted in the two prefectures of Shaoxing and Hangzhou. At least they should not be conducted only in these prefectures.

Wu Zheng was passing by.

As for people, when they think they have controlled everything, they have a kind of joy like a child, hoping to hide in the dark and discover something they cannot see.

It's time to have a meal.

There happened to be a tavern next to it.

It just so happened that the wine shop was very lively.

Many of them happened to make Wu Zheng enter the "Old Zheng Ji".

Warm one pound of old wine, cut two pounds of beef, and add a plate of fennel beans.

Wu Zheng, Lu Jincai and others gathered around an Eight Immortals table and ate in silently.

But the evolution of the plot was definitely not something Wu Zheng could have expected.

At the beginning, Wu Zheng was happy, then appreciated, and then slightly annoyed.

But Wu Zheng had no intention of interfering in the prefectures and counties, and the death of a soldier could not get into Wu Zheng's eyes.

When evaluating merits and defences, there is no fault when the General's Office and the various guards evaluate merits and demerits. The fundamental reason for rewarding merits and punishments is that merits must be rewarded and demerits must be punished. In this way, orders can be enforced and prohibited, and military orders are as good as a mountain.

Although Wu Zheng felt that according to the situation described by Huang's widow, the son of the Tan family should be rewarded according to the merits and should at least be given a pension, because Wu Zheng had ordered the General's Office to make an exception for the pension for the deaths in the battle.

For example, the Huang family's name was a third-level county at this time, so in fact, the Huang family's original title should be lower than the first-level county male.

The Tan family's son died in Jiangdu. Apart from his cousin's Huang family, there is no proven person. How can he reward his merits? How much?

If you reward someone who should not be rewarded, how can you face the 200,000 soldiers of the Northern Expedition?

Therefore, Wu Zheng has always been listening and watching as a bystander. Even if the scene is indeed touching, the law is the law and cannot make exceptions just because of one person or a few people. This is the same as "graciousness does not control the army".

But in the end, Wu Zheng realized something was wrong.

When a man surnamed Tan heard his nephew's statement that he knew that his son was dying for his country, not escaping from an accident, he thought of not complaining but calming down the situation, which was a bit strange. Especially when his nephew reminded him to appeal to the General's Mansion.

You should know that his nephew is now a third-level county, and according to the law, he can cross the prefecture and directly appeal to the General's Mansion. This is his privilege.

Of course, Wu Zheng knew that if the second proof could not be found, the complaint would probably be in the sea, and it would be delayed for three or five years.

But as a father, he should not be so calm when he learned that his son died in battle for the country and did not receive the rewards and pensions he deserved.

If something goes wrong, it will be a monster, so Wu Zheng spoke out to stop it because Wu Zheng thought of another consequence of the incident.

....

"Can you leave this for a while?"

This sound made Wu Zheng, a table of four people, the focus of the house.

The middle-aged man surnamed Tan turned his head and looked at Wu Zheng. He had no intention of getting entangled with strangers. As he said, his wife at home was heartbroken because of the death of her eldest son and needed to rush back.

But those who have been in the upper hand for a long time always have a terrifying aura. Although it is invisible, it actually exists.

Especially for a superior like Wu Zheng who rolled over from the battlefield, if you say exaggerated words, you can even kill people with your eyes.

The man surnamed Tan turned around unconsciously and bowed, "Do you dare to ask if this man is talking to Tan Hua?"

Wu Zheng bowed and replied, "It's...what can you ask the uncle what he calls him?"

"My surname is Tan and her name is Qi."

"Uncle Tan is polite." Wu Zheng bowed slightly.

Tan Qi bowed and returned the gift.

"I heard Uncle Tan say he didn't want to appeal... I dare to ask, why?"

Tan Qi frowned slightly and stopped and said, "This is a private matter of Tan, family matters, no need to ask... Tan's son is mourning, if you have nothing to do, Tan will say goodbye."

Wu Zheng said calmly but stubbornly: "When I look at Uncle Tan's words and deeds, should I be a scholar?"

On the one hand, Huang's baby stepped forward and replied: "My uncle is a juren in the ninth year of Chongzhen..."

"Disrespect, disrespect." Wu Zheng said lightly, "But logically, since he is a juren, why doesn't Uncle Tan want to appeal..."

Tan Qi was a little annoyed, and he said coldly: "Don't take care of other people's private affairs."

The Huang family's widow next to him also said, "I wonder who is my brother?"

The two of them had no good tone. If Wu Zheng had not had this invisible aura and the three of them who were tall and powerful behind him, they would have been expelled from the restaurant immediately.

Yes, Tan Qi is a juren after all, even if he has no official position, he is still a person with fame and fortune. As long as this land is still a clear land, his fame and fortune cannot be deprived.

The Huang family's wife had just been granted the title of a third-level county. When she saw that she was a senior, she would have to give her three points of face even if she was in front of her.

Wu Zheng's expression was still calm. He ignored Huang's widows and looked at Tan Qi and asked, "Uncle Tan, don't keep people from thousands of miles away. I have a good intention... Since the son sacrificed his life for the country and did not receive the reward and pension, he should appeal."

Tan Qi frowned and said impatiently: "Mr. Tan said, this is my family business..."

"No!" Wu Zheng interrupted, "Although this is your family business, it is even more of a business and a state affairs!"

I have to say that being able to speak like Wu Zheng does give people a feeling that is extraordinary.

Tan Qi's expression also gradually became serious, "Dare you ask...what does this mean?"

"Uncle has his own selfishness to make military orders die in name only. Isn't it a family matter?" Wu Zheng said seriously, "The son is a merit or a fault. He has his own military law judgment. If everyone is like an uncle, he will use family matters to judge the merits and punishments. The military law that will be punished will be in vain... I ask if the merits are not rewarded, and there is no need to be punished. When the battle begins again, how many people are willing to fight the enemy and serve the battlefield?"

This sounds absurd, but it is a fact.

Soldiers are at a disadvantage and cannot fight with Shangguan. Then the grievances they suffer slowly accumulate, and ultimately the military orders cannot be smooth. What is destroyed is an army and a country.

Tan Qi can not appeal to the government for his own reasons for his son's rewards and pensions, but if this matter is spread, the public will say that it is the government's fault, and it may even be reported that someone is wrong and greedy for the Tan family's son's contribution.

It doesn't sound big, but the consequences will be serious.

Tan Qi looked at Wu Zheng in shock. He had realized that the young man in front of him was different and extremely unrestrained.
