Yuan Chang and Guo Jia were sitting in the back hall, sipping fragrant tea. Of course, for Guo Jia, it is enjoyment, but for Yuan Chang, it is a kind of torment.

Tea was first discovered by Shennong, and it was mentioned in the "Shennong Hundred Herbs Sutra": "Shennong tasted a hundred herbs, encountered seventy-two poisons every day, and got tea to solve it." And so, tea was finally discovered, but it was used as medicine. Subsequently, in the Qin and Han dynasties, Wang Bao recorded in the "Servant Covenant": "Cooking tea is all the utensils." "By this time, tea had been drunk as a drink. However, according to the previous method of medicine, the tea is still made into tea cakes, salt, sugar and other ingredients, and then boiled in boiling water, which shows how strange the taste of this tea is.

The tea had just taken his mouth, and Yuan Chang couldn't help but squirt it out.

"Yuan Gongzi, this fragrant tea is an excellent drink, Yuan Gongzi is so wasteful, it is really distressing. ”

Since the discovery of tea, from the Xia Shang Zhou to the present, the best tea has been used as a tribute, and in addition, only people from big families or wealthy merchants can taste it, and ordinary people can't afford it at all. At this time, seeing that Yuan Chang didn't know how to cherish it so much, Guo Jia was naturally extremely sorry.

Yuan Chang couldn't help but roll his eyes, just like that, tea, dare to say that it is an excellent drink?

Yuan Chang secretly thought in his heart, when will he show his hand, so that these earth leopards who have never seen the world can see and see what real tea is. Just like this tea cake, with a strong taste of traditional Chinese medicine, salt and sugar, it is estimated that people who are not sick will drink it.

Now, Yuan Chang doesn't argue with Guo Jia, wait for things to come out, surprise him again, and then surrender to his noble wisdom.

"My lord, something is wrong. ”

At this moment, He Yao ran in with an anxious look, and shouted loudly at the same time.

"Could it be that the sky is falling, what kind of system is it to be so flustered? Yuan Chang scolded dissatisfiedly, and then taught with a straight face: "The sage said, 'If you don't learn etiquette, you can't stand', and you shouldn't forget etiquette at any time." Look at the disciple of the saint of others, Zhong You, when the crown falls off during the battle, you must pick it up and tie it, 'The gentleman dies, the crown is inevitable', you should learn from others and learn. The most important thing for the county keeper is these etiquette, you are so frizzy, how dare this county magistrate recommend you to the county keeper. ”

"Yes, yes! The subordinates know their mistakes, and they hope that the adults will forgive their sins!"

He Yao bowed down and humbly admitted his mistake, and almost knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake. Of course, in He Yao's heart, he must be scolding Yuan Chang.

If the Yellow Turban thieves attack the city at this moment, it will be interesting to see if he Yuan Chang will talk a lot of nonsense here. Although he He Yao is a martial artist, doesn't he know that Zhong You? is like a bad pen, he went to pick up the crown when he was fighting, but he was chopped into meat sauce by others. Even if he He Yao is brainless, he will not do such a thing.

Thinking like this in his heart, of course He Yao would not say it. After all, Yuan Chang also said that Yuan Shao attaches great importance to these etiquettes. If Yuan Chang is not satisfied and does not recommend himself to Yuan Shao, how can he be promoted, and how can he soar.

Yuan Chang nodded with satisfaction, took a sip of tea, and then asked unhurriedly: "You can teach your son! Just now you said that something bad happened, what happened?" ”

He Yao is not in a hurry at the moment, the county magistrate is not in a hurry, what is he anxious about.

I saw He Yao take a deep breath, straighten his robe, and said slowly with full etiquette: "Lord Qiyu, there are many officials in the county government who say they are sick, and I am afraid that they will not be able to come to the county government to do things for a few days." ”

"Bastard thing!"

Yuan Chang slapped the desk and scolded when he heard this. He Yao sneered in his heart, what he said just now is to never forget etiquette, what is he doing now? However, He Yao suddenly found that Yuan Chang was scolding him, and he was immediately confused.

"It's not just a few officials who are sick, and this kind of trivial matter is also worth reporting to Lord Ben. With the temper of the county keeper, if you had reported this kind of thing to him, you would have been crippled long ago. ”

Anyway, He Yao hadn't seen Yuan Shao, so Yuan Chang could say whatever he wanted.

He Yao scolded again in his heart, this incompetent county order, but he didn't understand what he meant. Looking at Guo Jia, the staff member beside Yuan Chang, his brows were tightly knit at this time, and he seemed to understand what was going on.

scolded in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it. He Yao then explained to Yuan Chang in detail.

"My lord, think about it, why did the people who were still alive last night get sick early this morning, and there are so many people at one time? As far as the subordinates know, these officials are more familiar with the chief bookkeeper Sang Qiu on weekdays, and the subordinates speculate that they must be colluding, and when the county government is short of manpower and some trouble occurs, then you will be embarrassed, and they will take the opportunity to make a request. Perhaps, you just want to let the adults let you let go of Na Sangqiu. ”

"Bastard thing, you can't finish talking in one breath, you can't say the next sentence after you finish speaking, it's really not clever at all. ”

Yuan Chang listened, and did not scold those officials, but pointed at He Yao's nose and taught him a lesson again.

The grievance in He Yao's heart, he was stupid and didn't expect to blame himself. If you look at Guo Jia, you already understand what you mean. He Yao was aggrieved and had some resentment at the same time, he felt that there was nothing wrong with him, but Yuan Chang was too incompetent. If he waits for him to have a good relationship with the county guard, He Yao decides that he doesn't want anything, and he will go to Dongping County to be the county commander, and then let Yuan Chang be his subordinate, and he can also point at Yuan Chang's nose and scold every day.

"Yes, yes, the subordinates are guilty, and the subordinates should die!"

Now he has not had a relationship with Yuan Shao, so He Yao still has to pretend to be a grandson, but the idea of revenge against Yuan Chang is becoming more and more vigorous.

Yuan Chang also seemed to feel that his tone was too heavy, and immediately grabbed He Yao's hand and comforted: "He Yao, this county order scolds you for your good, don't take it to heart." I know the temper of Lord Gunmar very well, and when he speaks, he must be clean and concise. Think about it, the county keeper has so many things to deal with, how can he still have time to listen to you finish talking slowly, and then think about the reason. However, your ability is still very optimistic about the county order, and now there is no one available under the county order, you temporarily help the county order for a while, and when things in the county are too peaceful, the county order will recommend you to the county guard. With your ability, you will definitely be able to be reused by the county keeper. ”

"Yes, yes! The subordinates remember the kindness of the adults, and they dare not forget. ”

He Yao's eyes were red, and he had a grateful expression. However, He Yao couldn't stop sneering in his heart. Does this Yuan often think that he is a three-year-old child? Hitting a stick and giving a sweet date is a joke when used on himself. When he rises day by day, he will definitely want Yuan Chang to look good.

After Yuan Chang comforted He Yao, he immediately scolded in disregard of etiquette: "This group of bastards, since they don't want to come to work, then they don't want to come in the future, do you think that without them, you can't cure a small Dongping County." What county lieutenant is there to help me, and I'm afraid that they can turn the sky up? Hmph, a bunch of guys who don't know what to do. ”

He Yao said humbly: "How dare the subordinates take credit, they are all led by adults, and the credit for the development of Dongping County is naturally the first choice of adults." ”

Listening to He Yao's words, Yuan Chang suddenly raised his head, revealing a smug expression.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

At this moment, someone outside the hall shouted urgently. When the arrivals came in, it was the official Ma Hou. He Yao also wanted to see Yuan Chang teach Ma Hou a lesson, so as to balance his heart.

Who knows, Yuan Chang not only did not scold Ma Hou, but also comforted him with good words, and poured him a glass of water at the same time.

He Yao almost didn't vomit blood when he saw it, he was the same person, how could the gap be so big, not to mention that he was still a county lieutenant? However, He Yao soon comforted himself that he was the candidate that Yuan Chang was going to recommend to the county guard, and of course his standards for himself would be higher, so why should he care? Although he comforted himself like this, He Yao still felt a little depressed, and he almost didn't show it.

Yuan Chang waited for Ma Hou to finish drinking the water before he asked in a harmonious voice: "Ma Hou, you said before that something was wrong, what happened? Could it be that the prisoners in the prison are making trouble?"

"My lord, it's not the prisoners in the prison who make trouble. However, in many villages under the jurisdiction of Dongping County, there are people doing evil, and many villagers have sued the county, but now the county government is short of manpower, and I am afraid that it will not be able to solve these things at the same time. Before the subordinates came back, they went to one of the villages to understand the situation, and most of these evildoers were bullies, ruffians, ** and the like in the village. The subordinates were originally from Majia Village, and they had some prestige in the village, so they had already let those people stop. However, there is nothing that can be done about the subordinates of the other villages. My lord, my subordinates feel that this matter is a little unusual, and there is a shortage of people in the county government, so these guys jump out to do evil, I am afraid that it is somewhat related. ”

"Hmm!"

Yuan Chang nodded and praised: "Ma Hou, you did a good job, what you said is also very reasonable, this county commander didn't expect you to be such a capable person, and he county lieutenant is simply the right hand of this county order." Don't worry, when the time comes, the prefectural order will recommend the two of you to the county keeper. ”

He Yao glanced at Ma Hou jealously, and he came to report that he was scolded for being bloody, and finally said to himself that he wanted to recommend it to the county guard. And Ma Hou not only didn't get scolded, but he was also appreciated so easily.

He Yao, who was extremely unbalanced in his heart, decided to find an opportunity to vent his anger.

Yuan Chang waved his hand and said to the two: "Okay, the matter is roughly understood by the county order, you go down first." Wait for the county order to discuss with Guo's staff, and then arrange for you to deal with it. ”

"Yes, my subordinates obey!"

Both of them left obediently, but they also knew that Yuan Chang was not discussing with Guo Jia, but was going to ask his staff for advice. It's just that it's not good to do such a humiliating thing in front of his subordinates, so he found an excuse to take the two away.
