Great Tang Idyll

Chapter 67: Who is arbitrarily neutral

Views:

The people of Yuzhou hate the people in the surrounding states and counties to their bones. They say that you have so many things, so you can use the quyuan plough, and the memorial is fine, but you don’t say it in the memorial. A lot of good words from the magistrate of Sanshui County, even mentioning Xiangrui and giving things to the people in the county.

The auspiciousness here in Honshu was talking about Zhou Xiangrui, but I didn’t mention anything about sending things during the New Year’s Eve. Now it’s okay, the accountability account above has been sent to the state, and the wording is just a little bit. They are not strict, but they keep asking from every aspect, why is this kind of thing not reported in Binzhou, and let the state report it

It’s because the wording is not strict that people in the state feel scared. Being strict means that the person above is close to you. This kind of plain accountability is the most scary. If one is not good, it is easy to lose office, and even serious return. Go to jail and suffer.

When everyone was busy with spring plowing, the people in the state were discussing how to deal with this matter. No one dared to continue to suppress the credit of the county magistrate in Sanshui. In desperation, everyone discussed a way.

The sky was gloomy, as if it could fall at any time, and the wind was also cheering. The dealers in various places looked up at the sky at this time, looking forward to the rain.

The same is true for people in Sanshui County, but the sky has been cloudy for a few hours, and the clouds disappeared and the wind stopped in the afternoon.

All the farmers are sinking when seeing this situation. Today is Gu Yu. It should be time to sow the seeds and rain. If it doesn't rain, who dares to sow the seeds? Especially for some old people who can watch the sky, their eyes are full of horror. After that, there will be no rain these days.

The magistrate Cheng of Sanshui County was also sitting inside the yamen, staring at the sky blankly, and after a while, he turned his head and asked the people around him, "How is the water in Xiao Luoshui?" This time he finally called his full name. .

"Master Hui, the water is very shallow. It hasn't rained in the past few days, and the melted snow has already flowed away." The person next to him answered carefully.

"It's over, hurry up, immediately give the official manpower, and the official is going to dig a well." The county magistrate Cheng stood up tremblingly, and everyone in the yamen came over in a hurry, and organized the digging of wells according to the surrounding places. But I am also worried that everyone is waiting to plant the seeds and there is not enough manpower.

Everyone went down. Cheng County ordered him to stand alone in front of the yamen. From time to time, people passed by to say hello. He didn't even have the intention to respond one by one. The people seemed to understand the difficulties of the county magistrate. It rained, and it was the same when it came to Gu Yu, and it seemed that there would be no rain for a few days.

In the evening, there was good news, but the news was nothing to please the county magistrate Cheng. The people in the state sent a stamp, which means to acknowledge his credit and report it. To the court, but let him say that there was no report in the state because he did not want people in the state to report.

"My lord, now you finally don't have to give your credit to others." The county prime minister said to the side, he wanted to make the county magistrate happy.

"Credit, credit, what credit is there now? If this drought is not dealt with, I will have it. Have the people sent to various places come back? How is the situation?" Cheng County Order was not energetic at all, sitting in a chair. Up, the whole body is leaning on the backrest, just like that, it's still slipping down.

"Most of the people have returned. Qiyang Village is dry and the villagers are looting water. Some of them are injured. The looted water is barely enough to plant millet, but it will not rain for a few days. Then we have to think of other ways. Now, Xihe Village is still there. There is still a little water in the river, which can last for half a month. Now they have blocked the dam, but the Donghe Village below them is over, Nanshan Village..."

The news came out one by one from the county prime minister’s mouth. Usually there was no water. When I didn’t use it, the water was always available. When I used it, I found that the water was not enough, and I couldn’t hold it where there was a little water. how long.

"There isn't a good news? It's all like this? Yes, there is one more place I haven't said. What happened to Zhangjiazhuangzi in Tuqiao Village?" Cheng County Ling suddenly remembered that the people over there hadn't return.

"My lord, there is a river over there, but that river is formed by four small rivers. Three of the villages just mentioned don’t have enough water. They led the river away, and the remaining one is usually waist-length. Deep, it's useless, mainly because it has been like this in the past few years. It looks like a drought, but in fact, it will rain continuously before and after Guyu. The people and we are used to it."

Xian Cheng sighed, that Zhangjiazhuangzi gave them too many surprises at the Yamen, but this time, no one could run away.

"Report, adults, adults, the youngest is back, and the youngest is back from Zhangjiazhuangzi." As soon as Xian Cheng's words fell, there was a voice outside the door, and then someone ran in to see the dust. The appearance of the servant knew that he was rushing all the way.

This person was carrying a large package on his back and looked unsinkable. When he entered the courtyard and stopped, he couldn't speak, and he just stood there panting.

"Come back when you come back, find a place to rest, what are you carrying? You asked for something from Zhangjiazhuang again? It doesn't matter if you usually want it, and now they are also dry, how can you..." Cheng County Lingqi The words can't be said.

"My lord, I didn't want it, yes, it was them, Zhuang, Zhuangzi brought back things to the adult's yamen, good, good things, fungus, ten, ten kilograms, dry, dry." This yaman intermittently Replying to the words.

"What? Ten kilograms of dry fungus, you dare to harvest such an expensive thing? It's like that. You can exchange a lot of money with these fungus. It takes money to dig a well, and it takes money to buy food from the outside. You can't send it back. Yes." The county magistrate and the county magistrate were shocked. Where did Zhangjiazhuangzi get so many dried fungus

The yaman was still panting, feeling anxious, and finally picked up the magistrate's bowl on the table, drank the tea inside, wiped his mouth, and finally felt comfortable, opened the package, and said:

"My lord, they planted this fungus by themselves. They said they brought it back to share with the people in the yamen. Originally, they were going to be given 20 jin. The small ones didn’t dare to ask for it. They only took ten jin and came back. Everyone can get some and eat something fresh."

"It's planted? Can fungus be planted?" The county magistrate and Xian Cheng were surprised again, and even got up from their chairs, neither of them knew how to locate the Zhangjiazhuangzi.

Cucumbers can be made in the winter. They have vegetable oil. I bought carrots that no one else doesn’t want. I made a lot of money. I found a very simple way to turn brown sugar into white sugar. Even fungus can be planted. Is there anything they can't do in this world

"Well, since they can plant them, they have made a fortune again, and they are not afraid of drought. What about him? Isn't he planting nothing?"

The county magistrate Cheng is relieved now. The fungus is precious. If you want to eat it, you can go to the mountain or find it from any tree. There is also a place where you can transport firewood. This is the money.

"Master Hui, they have all been planted, Zhangjiazhuangzi, Wangjiazhuangzi, and Gejiazhuangzi have all planted them, and Gejiazhuangzi manages the water borrowed by the two Zhuangzi Zhangjiazhuang."

"I have planted it? Borrowing water? He Gejiazhuang has no water. Could it be that the Zhangwang family has water." The county magistrate felt a little dizzy. give others? He suspected that the Ya Ya was lying, so his face sank.

"Really, my lord, the youngest dare not lie. Don’t you know. Zhang Wang’s two villagers have dug six large ponds. The water in them is full, and the small river is still a little tricky. I went to a pond. When it was small, there were already seven wells and three more were being dug.

Gejiazhuang has just dug, and the water in the well is sweet and cool, but it is delicious. The little one drank three bowls in one breath, and the little horse that was riding also drank along, and the horse drank it. of… "

"Okay, don't talk about the mess, you just said that there are six ponds full of water in Zhangjiazhuang? There are also seven wells that have been dug?" Cheng Xianling interrupted the useless words behind the yaman. Find the key place and ask again.

"Yes, my lord, I saw it with my own eyes. There are three Zhuangzi children playing in the pond. There are more than a thousand ducks and geese swimming in the pond, and some people are carrying water to the mountains. The little one also helped. There were more than 6,000 chickens laying eggs on the mountain, and Zhuangzi also caught pigs at home.

In addition to these, the younger ones also saw the grain moved from other places. Because it was supposed to be used for spring plowing, they moved the grain around the two villagers’ homes. There was vacant land over there, and each of them was just like a mountain. , So the little ones dare to bring back ten catties of fungus. The little ones know that they are not poor. "

As soon as he talked about Zhangjiazhuangzi, his eyes gleamed, and he talked about the things on the Zhuangzi from beginning to end, and then pointed to the ten catties of dried fungus.

The magistrate Cheng and the county chief Zhang Mingsheng sat down on the chair again, and fell back to be precise. They looked straight at the fungus, and suddenly said at the same time, "I knew I would take it back. Enough."

"My lord, I really want to. The little one will go there again. The little one is not afraid of getting tired. Change a horse." The Ya Ya is also a real person, and he has to turn around and leave when he speaks.

"Stop, you're so poor and crazy? Shameless? People gave it to you. What are you going to do? This family farmer, yelling, raised so many things, and dug six large ponds in advance. Seven wells were drilled, no wonder Gejiazhuang wanted to take care of them to borrow water.

Na Ge Yingxi can be regarded as a good neighbour. He was doing bad things behind his back a few days ago, but it didn’t hurt the adult family. The people in Zhangjiazhuang knew that they would even lend Ge Jiashui water. Good official. "

The county magistrate Cheng called for the Ya Ya, and commented on it there.

"Adults are also good officials." Xian Cheng said from the side.
