Chapter 54: The Advice of Balance
"What are you looking for these people for?" the prefectural order was surprised. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"There is water in the ground in Linjiang County, and the groundwater is taken out in the form of wellholes, which can also be convenient for irrigation and people. Hengqing explained.
The county commander nodded: "I'm looking for information about the people who can dig wells this time." ”
Thanks to Tang Yu, Linjiang County Ling is a busy man, and since he took office, he has continuously improved the household registration of the people. And it's not an ordinary household registration. The household registration also added the people's occupations and what they are good at doing, which I used to think was a waste of time, but I didn't expect it to come in handy now.
Soon, the county magistrate found three people.
"That's all there is to it. The county order handed the list to Hengqing. The names and origins of several people were written on the list. Hengqing said that he didn't know any of these people, and it was useless to show him. Hengqing didn't accept the list, just nodded and motioned to the county order to find these three people immediately.
"You find these three men. The prefectural order assigned the task to the attendants.
Several of the followers of the county order are all scholars who have been brought up since childhood, not to mention anything else, literacy and memory are still okay. As soon as one of them received the list, his face changed. "Your Excellency?"
"What's wrong?"
"These three people all followed Mr. Tang to suppress the bandits. The attendants' faces turned pale.
"What!" the county ordered the whole person to almost fall.
Others don't know, how the county order is not clear, follow Tang Yu to suppress the bandits, that's a life-long job. In case these three people fold inside, the water source of the county government will be destroyed again. "You're not mistaken, bring me the list of bandits. The prefectural order trembled a little.
The attendant cried and went back to get the list.
Hengqing was originally not very curious about the list, but he was idle, so he rocked his wheelchair to the side of the county order and glanced at the list. At this glance, the whole person was stunned.
"It's really in there. The county commander looked desperate.
Hengqing suddenly made a move and grabbed the list. In the middle of the list, there is indeed a familiar name.
"Sir, what are you?"
"When did the bandit suppression team set off?" asked Hengqing in a trembling voice with the last glimmer of hope.
"Early yesterday morning. ”
The time was right, and the last glimmer of hope in Hengqing's heart was shattered. Although Rong Bai wanders around the mountains or the county every day, there is no night when he does not go back to rest. However, when Rong Bai left yesterday, he said that he had been out for two days and did not come back last night. Hengqing didn't care about it originally, Rong Bai's skills were good, and he would not have problems if he stayed in the forest for as long as he wanted.
However, now, Hengqing felt that he was relieved too early, Rong Bai was not going to fight with wild beasts in the woods, this was going to fight with bandits.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" the prefectural commander was also anxious. Tang Yu is gone, and finally found a reliable gentleman, if something goes wrong, isn't it heaven that he will die.
"Uchiko also participated in the suppression of bandits. Hengqing's face was solemn.
The county magistrate thought for a while, and then remembered that there was indeed a woman who participated in the suppression of bandits, and also specified that there was no food, only silver. However, the woman was wearing a man's clothes and her daughter's hair in a bun, but she didn't expect it to be Li Jia's wife. When did Li Jia become a parent? So these two children are Li Jia's children?
But it's not true to think about it, this little one is also seven or eight years old. Seven or eight years ago, this Li Jia was just an eleven or twelve-year-old child, still in a private school.
The county commander patted Hengqing's shoulder with a heavy face.
"Sister participated in the suppression of bandits?" Qizhong and Rong Qi have been following Hengqing, and when they heard the county order and Hengqing talking about Rong Bai, Rong Qi, who was a senior fan of Rong Bai, was very excited: "Is it fun to suppress bandits? Why doesn't my sister take me there?" The names on the list, the little girl also knew the word Rongbai.
Is it fun to suppress bandits? Of course not!
The county order collapsed, is this the child taught by the person recommended by Tang Yu? Such a person can really take Tang Yu's place?
"Your ability is not enough to suppress the bandits, wait for Xiaobai to come back and study for a few more years, maybe she will take you with her." Hengqing knows very well that this girl has a mysterious belief in Rong Bai. So even if I feel uneasy, I will never show it in front of the little girl.
"My lord, since the water source problem cannot be solved for the time being, let's solve the problem of the rat plague first. All those corpses on the street should be burned. Hengqing said.
"What? no!" burn the corpse, how can you burn the corpse if you die!
"Why not?" Heng Qing said coldly: "Throughout the ages, which great plague was not born with countless corpses? Or does the county order have to wait until the plague is everywhere to consider burning the corpses? If the county order has the ability to collect the corpses outside into the ground, Na Jia will not say anything." ”
The county commander was stunned for a moment, and his mind was full of horror in an instant.
If there was no rat plague, it would have taken four or five days to bury them. However, now there are all rats crawling outside, and even if all the people in the county government go to collect the bones, they may not be able to defeat those rats. And as soon as I heard that those bones represented the plague, where did the county order dare to send someone to restrain it.
Hengqing looked at the county commander's hesitant expression, and his heart was a little cold. In the past, Linjiang County was prosperous, and I thought that this county order was very capable, but now I look at it, it all depends on the strategist who has never shown up.
The county commander didn't know that the teammates he had finally invited had relegated him to the dirt, and he was seriously considering Hengqing's suggestion. It's really not appropriate to burn corpses, but when you think of those corpses on the street, there will definitely be no one to restrain them. Even if it burns, no one will make trouble, so I am moved.
Those corpses are burned, better than lying in the street now, being bitten by rats.
"This matter of cremation, the official should announce it. "The county order is worried that if the people are not informed, the harm of allowing the corpses to decompose, and the burning of the corpses will be resisted.
"Indeed, the body should be cremated, the sooner the better. Suddenly, an unfamiliar male voice came from outside the door, and Hengqing couldn't help frowning.
On the other side came a "middle-aged", with a big beard, probably after a long drive, and his body was dusty. Before he could catch his breath, he continued to speak: "My lord, the corpses in the city must be disposed of as soon as possible, if not, I am afraid that the plague will rise." ”
After saying this, the man saw Hengqing sitting in the middle of the crowd, and saluted with his fists: "It turned out to be Gongzi Li, who has admired his name for a long time." ”
After speaking, his eyes moved back to the county order: "There is no need to delay in the cremation of the corpse, the adults should do it immediately, as for informing the people, if anyone asks, let the doctor in the county lobby." ”
Hengqing finally knew that how to govern this county seat well with this brainless county order originally depended on this talent.
