Chapter 75: The official voice is upright

When Gu Qing ordered the villagers to invite Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing, the two shopkeepers were almost at the entrance of the village.

As soon as the county magistrates left the county town, Hao Donglai heard the wind and hurriedly called Shi Daxing to come to Shiqiao Village. As soon as the officer left, they arrived.

A fat man who was as fat as a ball, a big man with a fat face, panted and came to the porcelain kiln fence. Looking at the sealed fence gate, Hao Donglai stomped his feet and said angrily: "What the hell is going on? If you don't cause disaster or cause trouble, why should the county magistrate seal our porcelain kiln?"

Shi Daxing said coldly: "Patty Hao, you are a dirty person. Hurry up and think about whether you have done anything wrong recently, otherwise how could the county magistrate seal the porcelain kiln for no reason?"

Hao Donglai was furious: "You are so dirty! You are a powerful thief! You must have offended the county magistrate."

Shi Daxing sneered: "After doing business for so many years, who is clean under his butt? Fatty Hao, do you think you are a good person?"

The two of them became more and more fierce. Later, they started to fight and grabbed each other's clothes and scolded each other. Their faces were getting closer and closer. They sprayed each other's faces, and they were about to kiss each other. The picture looked inexplicably ugly but indescribable harmonious and loving...

Gu Qing looked at the two of them with arms around, and did not fight or persuade them to make peace. Instead, he stared at their mouths with interest, and became more and more excited as he looked, until they approached while arguing, and they were almost kissing. Gu Qing showed a blessing smile.

The two of them snorted each other and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was wrong. When they turned around, they were shocked to find Gu Qing's face with a strange smile.

"Uh, Young Master, don't you say anything?" Hao Donglai smiled as he wiped the sweat beads on his forehead.

Shi Daxing also said: "Yes, Young Master, you have the largest share in the porcelain kiln. Why do you look at the fun at this moment?"

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Because it's so lively and beautiful, for some reason, I always think you two can grow old together..."

Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing were stunned, and then they showed disgusting expressions at the same time. Looking at each other's distance, the two bounced away like an electric shock. Hao Donglai couldn't help but bent down and retching a few times. Shi Daxing was greatly insulted and also bent down and retching.

Seeing the seal posted on the fence, the two shopkeepers couldn't help but feel sad. Hao Donglai sighed: "What the hell is going on? County Magistrate Huang sealed our porcelain kiln without saying a word. Who offended him?"

Shi Daxing pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this is not convenient to ask the county magistrate in person. If you ask in person, there will be no room for correction. Hao Pangzi, you and I have connections in the county government. It's better to ask someone indirectly. You have to figure out the cause first to solve it."

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, as long as you figure out the reason, it will not be difficult to solve it. The two people in the county government office have wider connections than me, so they rely on the two shopkeepers."

Hao Donglai smiled bitterly and said, "The official documents of the officials in charge of Fei have been handed over to the Chang'an Zhenguan Office. The porcelain kiln was sealed at this time, and it is probably going to cause a lot of people to be implicated. It will be difficult to be designated as a tribute porcelain in the future."

The speaker was unintentional, but Gu Qing felt aroused in his heart and said, "Can the county magistrate seal our porcelain kiln be related to tribute porcelain?"

The two shopkeepers were also stunned. After looking at each other, Hao Donglai hesitated and said, "It shouldn't be... right? Qingcheng County's tribute porcelain is also a good thing for the future of Huang County Magistrate."

Shi Daxing said with a serious expression: "Not necessarily, the idea of ​​being an official is different from that of us civilians. What we think is good things are immediate benefits, and what we think is long-term benefits in the eyes of an official. If you are a good official, it is public benefits and the benefits of the people."

Gu Qing vaguely felt that he had guessed something and sighed: "I don't know something. Do you know that today's imperial concubines like Lingnan lychees, and the Holy Emperor favored them. Every year after the lychees are ripe, they send a quick horse from Lingnan to Chang'an. For this lychees, they are exhausted and damaged by money. The governments and the people in various places have a lot of grudges. Is this a matter?"

Gu Qing only knows a rough idea about this, which is the popular poem in his previous life, "A concubine riding on the world of the world laughs, no one knows that it is the lychee coming." I vaguely remembered that the teacher explained the background of this poem. After listening to Shi Daxing's words just now, Gu Qing suddenly thought of the lychee.

As soon as Gu Qing finished speaking, the two looked at him in shock, and then gradually showed a look of enlightenment.

Tribute porcelain and lychees seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they are both the same thing, they are all tributes sent to the palace. The production and transportation chain of tributes will inevitably break the inherent rules of the people, thus causing a chain of destructive reactions.

No one understands this principle better than a businessman.

Shi Daxing pondered for a moment, and said with a serious expression: "I'm afraid... it's really the reason."

Hao Donglai also nodded.

Gu Qing said again: "Are our Huang County Magistrate, a good official?"

The two looked at each other again and nodded with a bitter smile.

Hao Donglai said: "It's a bit conservative and not easy to deal with, especially not very much regard for businessmen. However, since he took office, he has been developing water conservancy, reclaiming wasteland, and doing things in a clean manner. I haven't heard of any unclean rumors. He is considered a good official."

Shi Daxing also said: "Two years ago, a cousin of Sima, a Sima, a governor of the governor of Yizhou, came to Qingcheng County for a trip and broke the leg of a craftsman when he was drunk. At that time, the magistrate Huang immediately ordered the arrest of the person. Later, the Sima of Yizhou asked for pleading with him. Huang County was unmoved and withstood the pressure and sentenced the murderer who beat him to move to Qiongnan for three years. From this, it can be seen that the magistrate Huang has a very strong temperament and is not afraid of power."

As the two of them spoke, Gu Qing gradually gained an intuitive understanding of Huang County Magistrate's character.

This kind of person is probably noble and upright, rather than bend, and at the same time he is a little conservative and stubborn. It is difficult to reason about what he believes in and change his mind.

This is difficult to deal with.

When he came back to his senses, he saw Hao Donglai and Shi Daxing looking at him with a gaze. Gu Qing laughed: "I am just a country boy. I am lucky to open a porcelain kiln. Of course, the two shopkeepers will worry about such official matters, so I dare not count on me."

The two of them immediately smiled embarrassedly, and Hao Donglai said, "The main reason is that the young man is too magical. It seems that there is nothing you can't solve. We have forgotten that you are only in your teenage years."

Gu Qing said: "The reason for this matter must be found out. Just now was just our guess. Maybe there is another reason. After you return to Qingcheng County, you will send someone to tell me that I will go to Qingcheng County to find you and discuss countermeasures together."

The two agreed and said goodbye to Gu Qing and left in a hurry.

Looking up at the setting sun that was gradually sinking, Gu Qing felt bored. No matter where he was, no matter what kind of world he was, he could not escape all kinds of troubles. God seemed to be deliberately not wanting him to live a peaceful life.

A slight sound of footsteps appeared behind him. Gu Qing turned around, and Zhang Huaiyu was still wearing white clothes, looking at him quietly.

"I heard about the porcelain kiln. Do you need my help?"

Gu Qing's eyelids twitched: "I'm lawless, are you going to kill the county magistrate?"
