"Why does this new county magistrate seem to be poorer than Master Xu? At least there are people around Master Xu to serve him. This Master Shao has no servants."
"Isn't it? Look at his wife, she doesn't even have a maid to serve her. The child is so young, she can only take care of herself."
"It is estimated that Mr. Shao's life is not easy, otherwise, he would not be sent to such a remote place as a county magistrate. The county magistrate who came to us has no background and connections. Look at Mr. Xu It¡¯s just a poor boy from the countryside who was admitted to Jinshi, but he was sent here because there was no one to take care of him. Those who have a little bit of power are either officials in the capital or in the rich and prosperous Jiangnan.¡±
"However, Mrs. Shao's wife is so affectionate. She is willing to bring her children to Jingping County to endure hardships. Mrs. Xu's wife has been staying in her hometown under the pretext of serving her parents-in-law. See people."
"That is, our place is poor, and it is also a border. Life is hard, not to mention dangerous."
These words vaguely drifted into the ears of Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong.
The director who led the way also heard it, and his face was a little embarrassed, and he secretly blamed those people for speaking without thinking, and if they want to talk about it, they have to wait until they are far away.
Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong pretended not to hear it, and just looked at the environment of the county government.
After looking around, Gu Yundong felt a little powerless. Isn't this county government office too dilapidated? It looked like it hadn't been repaired in decades.
"Has Master Xu lived in this backyard all the time?"
The master secretary was a little absent-minded at first, and just buried his head in front to lead the way, so when Gu Yundong asked, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded after a while and said, "Yes, Mr. Xu has been living here, and he lives in that room. .¡±
He pointed to a wing room not far away, Gu Yundong looked over, and the surrounding area only looked a little better in that wing room, and the two rooms next to it, even the windows were crumbling.
Gu Yundong frowned, "This county government is broken like this? Why didn't you hire someone to repair it?"
The head book curled his lips secretly, and when he raised his head, he looked bitter and bitter, "There is no way, the county government is too poor. There is no money to find someone to repair it, so I can only let it go like this. Before the county government, only Mr. Xu and Master and the others are living here, and Mr. Xu doesn't care if the environment he lives in is good or not, as long as he has a tile to cover himself."
"The imperial court should have appropriated money, right? What about the money?"
"All the money was used by Mr. Xu to run the county school. The adults said that only by studying can we have a future. Our Jingping County is very poor, so there are very few scholars. Originally, there were less than twenty students in the entire county school. Mr. Xu see Many talented children were wasted because they had no money to study, so most of the money allocated by the court was used to educate these children."
The master secretary said, sighed and shook his head, "Actually, Mr. Xu's words are correct, that is, studying is a long-term thing, and it costs a lot of money for others to obtain fame. It's good for one or two people. Dozens? But Mr. Xu insisted, and even took out all his monthly tributes. So our county government naturally has no money to repair it."
Xu Ji had talked to Shao Qingyuan about the county school before.
As soon as the director's voice fell, Gu Yundong saw a large piece of wall soil suddenly falling from the wall not far away. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
