Space Farming: The Rough Man Orion Dotes on His Wife Excessively

Chapter 274 The sky is high and the emperor is far away

Gu Rao and Bieye went to the pier and made an appointment with the boatman to reserve two window seats for them at nine o'clock tomorrow and gave them a deposit.

On the way back from the dock, Bieye was still trying to persuade her, "Aren't you seasick? We can go slowly by carriage, there's no need to take a boat."

Gu Rao felt lucky.

"It's not like I get seasick every time. Sometimes I get seasick, and sometimes I don't. Besides, we booked a seat by the window in advance. As long as we sit by the window, we don't smell the noise caused by other people in the cabin. Strange smell, I won’t get seasick.”

Bieye, "...I hope so."

"But I still think it would be more convenient to go by carriage."

Gu Rao has a short memory and has completely forgotten the pain of seasickness on the last boat trip.

"It is convenient to take a carriage, but the cost of renting a carriage is much more expensive than taking a boat, and the distance is much longer. It will take at least half an hour, so there is no need."

When passing by the fruit stall, Bieye silently bought some oranges.

He had specifically asked Dr. Wu before, and the doctor said that both orange peel and ginger can effectively relieve the symptoms of seasickness, so he should prepare some of them.

-

The next day, Gu Rao and Bieye took a boat to the county seat. They first found a noodle restaurant and ordered two bowls of beef noodles and a bowl of wontons.

After eating, we came to the Yamen.

The yamen guarding their door recognized them and greeted them warmly.

"Farewell, boss, Mrs. Gu, long time no see!"

"Why are you here again?"

"Did something happen again?"

He sighed after saying this.

"It's a pity that you are late, my lord... No, the previous county magistrate has resigned, and you can't see him anymore."

Gu Rao's mouth twitched.

"We're not here specifically to find him."

The officer smiled.

"It would be more convenient for you to come to the Yamen to do business if the county magistrate knows you." He looked around and saw no one else was there, then whispered, "Now the county magistrate is not so easy to talk to."

Gu Rao heard some clues.

"For example?"

The yamen servant stretched out his hand, rubbed his index finger and thumb, and said, "You want to do things and get things done. Without this, it won't work."

Gu Rao frowned.

"Is he so blatantly corrupt?"

The Yamen servant quickly whispered, "My aunt, please keep your voice down, in case the county magistrate hears it. It's okay for you to be tortured, but don't get me involved too!"

"For the sake of my familiarity with you, I want you to wait until things go smoothly before telling you this. Please don't hurt me!"

Gu Rao said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was so arrogant just now that I almost got you in trouble."

The officer waved his hand.

"Fortunately, no one heard it. What are you here for? I'll go in and inform you."

Gu Rao said, "I'll handle the household registration."

The yamen servant was stunned.

"Household registration?"

"Aren't you from this county?"

Gu Rao did not intend to discuss this issue with him in depth, but simply said, "It wasn't before, but it is now."

The yamen servant thought that she had married from afar, and she wanted to transfer her household registration to her husband's name.

In fact, in slightly more formal families, when a man and a woman get married, they will transfer the wife's household registration from her natal family.

Only in the countryside, there are not so many details. Many couples just go to the village to get married, and their whole lives pass like this without registering at the government office.

These two people have been married for a long time, but they have only come to register now.

Although he couldn't figure it out, it was someone else's matter and he didn't bother to take care of it. He said to Gu Rao and Bieye, "Just wait for me and I'll report it to you."

Gu Rao gave him ten coins.

"Thanks a lot."

A smile suddenly appeared on the Yamen servant's face.

"Why are you so polite!"

"Next time if anything happens, you can come to me at any time. We are all acquaintances, and I will do my best to help you!"

After saying that, he went in.

Gu Rao looked at his back with a complicated expression.

Bieye asked, "Are you unhappy?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"Ah."

In the past, when Su Nan was the county magistrate, the atmosphere in the yamen was very good. These yamen servants did not dare to accept bribes because Sunan's management was very strict.

Now that Su Nan has left, the atmosphere here has also changed.

Needless to say, who is more popular between an honest and upright county magistrate and a corrupt and incompetent magistrate? I wonder what the fate of Donghuang County will be in the future.

She lives in Donghuang County and is likely to be affected.

Bieye pressed her shoulder.

"Don't worry too much."

Gu Rao nodded.

"Fortunately, we have money. Even if he is greedy, we can still afford it. If there was no money, this matter would be difficult to handle today."

The yamen servant came out soon.

"You can go in."

Just as Gu Rao and Bieye were about to go in, the Yamen servant came over again and whispered, "Remember what I said, anything can be done easily if you have money."

"Be sensible yourself."

Gu Rao nodded.

Although I am not happy with the newly appointed corrupt officials, I also know clearly that I am just an ordinary person and know how much I have. People do not fight with officials. Even if they do not like corrupt officials, they have to give money to do things.

It was indeed as the officer said.

After Gu Rao and Bieye went in, the person responsible for registering their household registration did not directly apply for their household registration. After asking for some basic information, he told them that the matter was a bit difficult.

It was originally a very simple matter, but the person in charge of the registration suddenly said that Gu Rao was a slave and it would be difficult to change to a free one.

Even though she had blurred the deed of betrayal into the person's face, the person still talked about it here and there, hinting that they should pay them quickly, with the attitude that if they don't pay, they won't get anything done.

Gu Rao, "..."

What else could she do?

I can only endure it!

I gave him ten cents at first.

The person who registered looked a little better. After putting the money in his pocket, he looked at their clothes and then said, "We can't do it today. You can come back tomorrow."

Gu Rao took a deep breath and no longer bothered to follow him in circles.

"Didn't I already give you the money?"

"Changing household registration is originally very simple. I have been studying since I was a child and I remember the laws of the Yu Kingdom clearly. Do you want me to recite them for you?"

The person who registered did not expect to meet someone who understood the law.

But he wasn't worried.

The county magistrate allowed him to accept these bribes. After he accepted them, most of them had to be given to the county magistrate, and he could only keep a small part.

Of these ten cents, he wanted to give seven cents to the county magistrate, but he only had three cents in his hand, so he couldn't just forget about it!

So what if you understand the law?

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. In Donghuang County, the county magistrate’s words are law, and they all have to listen to the county magistrate!

If the county magistrate says he won’t do it, he won’t do it!

"It's not difficult to change your household registration. However, our yamen has a lot of things to do. What we have to do every day is all scheduled in advance. It's normal for you to come late and be at the back of the queue."

"I can't let you jump in line, right?"

Gu Rao said, "Aren't you very free now?"

The person who registered took his time.

"Now is my rest time. If I hadn't been kind-hearted, you might not have been able to enter the Yamen today and you wouldn't have been able to see me."

“If you want to do something, you must register in advance.”
