Chapter 306: Willingness of Surname
When Lin Xiaofan arrived at the lobby, the yamen was already filled with people, and there were many people gathered outside. The policeman guarding the door was pushed aside and looked at the people sweating profusely, not knowing what to do.
With so many people coming into the Yamen, it stands to reason that they should have drawn their swords to demonstrate and drive the people away. However, County Magistrate Lin said that people must not be prevented from entering the Yamen.
Moreover, these people did not make trouble, they just stood there quietly, waiting for County Magistrate Lin to come out.
However, they were not kept waiting for too long. Lin Xiaofan came to the lobby. When countless people below saw him coming out, the scene suddenly became chaotic. The people below were talking about these things.
Lin Xiaofan listened for a while and roughly figured out what was going on. These people wanted to promote Yan Xing to become the new county magistrate.
"Everyone, please be quiet first!"
He opened his mouth to maintain order, and at the same time glared at the people in the crowd who yelled the loudest. These were the "atmosphere teams" he sent out.
It wasn't until the scene was almost quiet that Lin Xiaofan said to the leader:
"What are you talking about?"
The leader was a tall and thin old man. His stooped figure looked a little old, but his temperament was very stable. His black hair hung down as heavy as ink.
After arriving here, he had been very quiet until Lin Xiaofan asked him to speak, then he bowed neatly and said:
"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, Mr. Yan has high moral character and is selfless. He has petitioned for the people many times for decades. I boldly ask your Majesty the County Magistrate to let him be the county magistrate."
This person was not found by Lin Xiaofan, but by a teacher. He established a school and taught for decades. He was an upright and honest man, full of writing and ink in his heart, and was quite prestigious among the people.
"You all want Yan Xing to be the county magistrate?"
Lin Xiaofan glanced at the people and asked.
"Magistrate Lin, this is what we mean."
"County Magistrate Lin, Chief Yan is an upright official just like you. Just use him."
"County Magistrate Lin, Chief Yan has not been promoted because of us. Now that he is older, you should satisfy his wish."
The people below spoke.
In their opinion, Director Yan was trying to benefit them and offend the big family, which is why he has not been promoted for so long. Otherwise, with his character, he would definitely not stop at the main book.
Now that the county magistrate has been replaced by Lin Xiaofan, an upright official, they are willing to work together to find an official position for Chief Yan.
Someone mentioned this matter this morning, and everyone thought this was the reason, so they all called their neighbors in the countryside to come to the Yamen.
Lin Xiaofan closed his eyes and listened carefully to the people's remarks, feeling happy in his heart.
It seems that Yan Xing is really good to these people on weekdays, and he can gather so many people in just one day.
In this way, he could give Yan Xing the position of county magistrate without falling out with the Lin family.
And in this case, Yan Xing has no reason to reject him, right?
Thinking about it, he opened his eyes, looked at everyone, and bowed deeply.
"Okay, then I will write a letter to the county governor now to find the position of county magistrate for Chief Yan. Everyone should leave."
Seeing that Lin Xiaofan agreed, the leading old man looked more and more excited, and the wrinkles on his face bunched up.
Lin Xiaofan is a high-ranking official, and Yan Xing is also a high-ranking official. They hold the two largest positions in the county. Will the people of Degao County still worry about living a stable life in the future?
Although he was knowledgeable and had no worries about food and clothing, in the ten years since the new emperor ascended the throne, every time he saw farmers starving to death on the streets and people exchanging their children for food, his heart ached.
It's a pity that he has no power, a shallow background, and is old. Although he has thousands of books in his heart, there is no place for him to use it. He can only teach and educate people among the people, or give a mouthful to the people who are about to starve to death. Eat.
But once a famine occurs and tens of thousands of people in the county are unable to eat, how many people can he save with his little money?
For ten years, the people have long lost hope and just prayed for a few more days.
The appointment of Zhaocang County Sheriff gave him a little hope. But the county magistrate can't do it, and the big families in the county are not eliminated, and the people can still live a miserable life.
Now, the appointment of County Magistrate Lin has completely ignited the fire of hope in his heart.
"The sky has opened its eyes."
As he muttered, his body began to tremble unconsciously.
When the people behind him saw Lin Xiaofan's agreement, they immediately became quiet. Although they were silent, there was a little fire in each of their eyes.
How many years? How many years have they lived in the haze?
Corrupt officials, plundering people's wealth and wealth, and the court doing nothing. Every moment in the past few years, they have been restrained in a cage that cannot breathe.
They don't want much, just to live.
The appearance of Lin Xiaofan broke the haze and gave them hope again.
At this moment, excitement occupied their entire bodies. They wanted to thank the person standing on the high platform, but they didn't know how to express their inner gratitude.
After a long time, the leading old man suppressed the excitement in his heart, straightened his clothes, and then bowed deeply:
"Thank you, Magistrate Lin."
Seeing this, some people behind him also followed suit and bowed:
"Thank you, Magistrate Lin."
They were all just common people and didn't know much about etiquette. Some of them did not perform the rituals in a standard way, but they all worked hard at it.
Looking at the countless people in the audience, Lin Xiaofan's heart was filled with an unspeakable emotion.
Unexpectedly, he would one day become a person admired by thousands of people.
In fact, most of what he has done so far has been for himself. When doing things in normal times, just make sure they are worthy of your own conscience. But just by doing this, he was already the salvation of these people.
The people bowed for a long time, and they didn't stop until Lin Xiaofan asked them to get up.
Looking at the countless people below, Lin Xiaofan had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start, or in other words, he couldn't say much for the time being.
He has said too much. If the Lin family and other families are wary, it will be difficult to get rid of them in the future.
"Okay, don't get together here, otherwise there will be people who report the crime and won't be able to get in."
Lin Xiaofan waved his hand and said.
After hearing this, many people knew that they were causing trouble to others, so they all left in an orderly manner.
"Tell me, County Magistrate Lin, has he accepted our wishes?"
"I don't think so."
"Huh? Then I'll bring some eggs another day to see."
"Forget it, does County Magistrate Lin like those eggs of yours?"
"I think County Magistrate Lin may think that what he did is what he should do."
"I think so."
"Magistrate Lin is a good official, but I don't know if he will be transferred."
"I would be the first person not to want him to be transferred."
"There is also County Magistrate Zhao on top of County Magistrate Lin. Last time there was a heavy snowfall and the national disaster relief food was not distributed, but County Magistrate Zhao paid for the food for us out of his own pocket."
