The county was quite happy.

Today's events are very dangerous, if the Sixth Clan and the Seventh Clan really fight for their lives and make trouble in the county, his political enemies will say that "the clan brothers fight, but the county has no way to educate and educate". According to the usual practice, Xian Yu County Governor will be reprimanded by the county governor Yin and affect his career.

Fortunately, the fifth Lun reported in time, and took the initiative to ask Ying, and went with the water official to solve the matter, and soon the seventh Biao and the sixth calf obediently came to the county temple and pleaded with Xian Yu.

This is not a lawsuit, by no means! Xian Yubao repeatedly emphasized this point, saying that he was only admonishing the two as a county magistrate. The characteristic of moral judgment is that regardless of whether it is right or wrong, the winner is not determined, and the ultimate goal is reconciliation between the two parties.

At the suggestion of the county Cheng, Xian Yubao also imitated the story of Han Yanshou during the reign of Emperor Xuan of the former Han Dynasty and acted in a play.

Seventh Biao is an acquaintance of the county slaughter, and he has handed him benefits in the past. But Xian Yubao completely ignored his pleading eyes, and asked the county magistrate to order the seventh biao to take off his shirt in public, and to wear his upper body with the sixth calf, and worship in the courtyard of the county temple in front of everyone.

The surrounding officials whispered and pointed at the seventh biao, and the seventh biao always felt that they were all laughing. Although he was very reluctant, in order to save the pavilion chief and the family, he could only endure the humiliation.

The sixth calf is willing to do this, and with this guarantee, at least during the reign of the county magistrate, the seventh clan should not dare to fight for water anymore.

But the sixth calf's grateful gaze was more on the fifth lun, who arrived later and mixed with the crowd. This son became a township filial piety at a young age, and was appreciated by the county governor, and his future is limitless.

According to the eyes of the county magistrate, the two of them looked at each other according to the script, and loudly said that their family was confused for a while, but under the influence of the county governor's virtue, they deeply regretted it and would never dare to fight again in the future.

"In the future, please use water first! Seven to six! ”

"No, no, it's better for the Sixth Clan to use it first! Your family moved in earlier than my family, and they are older than me. ”

It's really funny, in the morning, there was a group fight to the death, and in the afternoon, it was this brotherly and humble virtue, but their acting skills were not good, so they couldn't wait to beat each other with the right lines and eyes.

At this time, the county Zai Xian Yu Bao appeared, he coughed, opened the pavilion at the right time, set up a meal and ate with the two of them, became a witness to their understanding, and publicized the matter to the county.

Needless to ask, the final result is that the county is unrequited, and the officials are all vying to spread the virtues of the county governor. As for the people, they will also introspect themselves after hearing about this incident, and this autumn, there will definitely be no one who comes to the county to file a lawsuit.

Of course not! If they can't get to the gate of the county temple, they will be persuaded to go back by the three elders and filial piety.

In short, bad things have become good things, Xian Yu praised a handful of political qualifications, and his impression of Wulun was even better, and he decided to let him play a "supporting role" in this story, report to the county, and commend him - the filial piety reward at the end of the year was increased from two to three.

But the fifth Lun stayed out of the matter, looking at this absurd scene, and felt a lot of emotion.

"The son said, 'Hear the lawsuit, and I, the Jews, will also make it impossible to litigate.'"

No litigation is the ideal state of Confucian governance, and if it can be solved by morality, it will never be sued for law. In the Han Dynasty, there was already this tendency, prohibiting sons from suing their fathers and slaves from suing their masters, and the government was reluctant to intervene in clan disputes, so they only let the three elders and filial piety mediate.

In the new dynasty, it is even more ridiculous, and the number of lawsuits in the jurisdiction has become one of the criteria for the promotion of officials - if there is no one who complains, it is a political achievement worthy of special mention in the upper calculation.

What if litigation can't be curbed?

Then get the lawsuit and the people.

But does the absence of litigation mean that the conflict has been resolved? Just hold the contradiction for the time being, right? ”

This made the fifth Lun even more determined, and when Xian Yu praised him alone, he stepped forward and returned the half-pass seal: "Thanks to the love of the county king, send someone to get rid of the fifth Lun, and grant me the post of filial piety in my township." ”

"Lunben is a weak-crowned son, and he is shallow in his knowledge, not enough to be a official. But at that time, when he saw the brothers of the seventh and sixth clans, Lun was deeply ashamed of his fellow clansmen and did not dare to turn a blind eye, so he was invited by the seal and persuaded them with a county ruler's handbook. ”

"Now that the two families have repented, kowtowed and reconciled, the fifth Lun has fulfilled his duties, and he thinks that he is young and weak, and he can't persuade the township and help him become moral, so he should resign!"

This means that the reason why he became this official was purely to use this identity to persuade him, and now that things are settled, I will not do it because of my limited ability.

It was too sudden, Xian Yu was stunned, and immediately spoke to stay, but the fifth Lun was very resolute, and left the county temple after worshipping.

Xian Yubao looked at the half-pass seal left by Wu Lun on the case, and he didn't react for a long time, and he couldn't figure out why this son resigned, and a thought flashed after half a ring.

"He's ...... Think this position is too small? ”

……

Although it is a prostitute who sees prostitution, Xian Yubao, a "corrupt official with a bottom line", guessed half right.

Fifth, Lun really thinks that filial piety is too small.

He has already inquired clearly, Xiaoyi's position does not take the imperial court, nor does he have the power to govern the people, and he doesn't even have a subordinate, even the commander of the light pole, and he has to be dispatched by the three elders of the township to help him take charge of education.

In the special national conditions of Confucianism in the new dynasty, when the government was reluctant to take on lawsuits, the workload of the three elders and filial piety increased dramatically. From brothers splitting up to neighbors throwing chickens, from picking ashes to raising uncles, everything has to be managed. The three elders are generally older, and they can rely on the old to sell the old and paralyze in the township, and the young filial piety has to take on the responsibility of running errands and running around to solve all kinds of trivial things.

If there is a rare moral model in the township, one or two pieces of cloth will be rewarded with filial piety, but if it is not conducive to indoctrination, there is such a thing as brothers fighting for land and neighbors fighting and beating people to death, the boss will "count the crimes of disloyalty, and let the three elders be filial piety for not teaching".

In short, there is no real power at all, there is a lot of trouble, and it is easy to take the blame.

Of course, Wu Lun doesn't be such a fool: "You don't even pay your salary, and you want me to take the blame?" Dream! ”

In addition, Wu Lun resigned with an iron heart, because he discovered the crisis hidden under the calm through the big drama he watched in the county temple today.

He looked up, on the way home, he would pass through many miles, in the imagination of later generations, the environment two thousand years ago must have been excellent, the primeval forest was dense, and the yellow sheep and elk ran all over the mountains, but in fact, it was not......

At least in the Zhuling area north of Weishui, the edge of the Loess Plateau, after hundreds of years of development in the Qin and Han dynasties, the vegetation coverage is no longer high. Many of the hills were even cut down to a pile of withered stumps.

Fortunately, the fifth mile is fine, and some villages can't pick up firewood for more than a dozen miles, and the axe can only be cut into the forest farther away. The government's request in the "Four Seasons and Moon Order" that indiscriminate felling is not allowed, but it cannot stop the people's urgent need for the development of new land and the burning of firewood.

The environment in Guanzhong has been much more fragile than in the early Han Dynasty, and the water is getting more and more muddy, and the Changping Pavilion north of Changling has been congested and diverted once two years ago, and a large number of victims have left their homes.

Not to mention the Yellow River, which was a big problem for the new dynasty, and the fifth Lun heard that it had not been blocked for several years, and hundreds of thousands of displaced people were produced in the Central Plains.

Looking at the mountains that have disappeared from the trees, the small turbid water in the canals, and the farmland and the lilu that are expanding outwards more and more, Wu Lun knows in his heart.

"Today's sixth and seventh two families are fighting for water, which is by no means an isolated accident, and there are far-reaching reasons behind it."

Although there are disputes where there are people, behind the frequent water disputes is actually the contradiction between the increasingly saturated population of the Guanzhong Plain and the limited resources - after all, the population of the world has exceeded 60 million at this time, which is the limit of the productive forces in this era.

The specific household registration of Changling is a secret of the government, and Wu Lun does not know. But according to my grandfather, this county is a big county, and there are almost 200,000 people, which is as big as two or three counties on the border. With such a large number of people crammed into such a small area, is there only water lacking?

The fact is that people lack not only land, food, and daily fuel, but also jobs. The field is not enough to plant, the business is suppressed, and the workers are ...... Do you have the technology? It is no wonder that there are many idle evil teenagers in the countryside, who can't survive in the city, so they can only run to the periphery of the city to beg for food, or attach themselves to Haoyou as guests.

In order to compete for resources, contradictions in the counties, counties, and townships of Guanzhong were increasing day by day, and the bureaucrats of the new dynasty did not think about how to develop the productive forces to tide over the crisis, but blindly covered up these disputes and pursued no lawsuits, so as to maintain the superficial "rule of law."

Then cover it, the undercurrent is surging under the calm water, and I don't know when I will cover a big wave, giving Xinmang a big surprise.

"The contradictions accumulate day by day, and when the river collapses, there will be many injuries."

Thinking like this, Wu Lun once again had a sense of crisis, and seeing that it was almost dark, he couldn't help but whip his horse and speed up.

"People always thought that the Ming King ruled the world with filial piety."

"However, relying only on filial piety can't save the world at all!"

……

The seventh biao, who played a play in the county temple, dragged his tired body back home until the next morning.

The previous awakening when he was in the county temple was suddenly gone, and he was so angry that he threw the bottles and cans on the desk to the ground, his eyes full of resentment.

Can you not hate? What is the most important thing for the light man? It's not life, it's face!

For the sake of face, they can draw their knives against each other because the other party looked at them on the road, cut off their necks, cut their livers and lungs, and lay their bodies on the road.

For the sake of face, they can slap their swollen faces and pretend to be fat, buy good swords and swords that they can't afford to consume, and wear them all day long.

Face is the foundation of the Qingxia family's life, what if it loses it?

The Seventh Biao felt it, and when he returned home, he found that everyone was sad, like a defeated rooster. The young man who was originally attached to his family had dispersed in a hurry, and one of the slower walkers was going out with a burden, and was stopped by the seventh biao and asked.

Although the young man was ashamed, he still had to go, and said to the seventh biao: "Everyone in the township said that the fifth public beat Zhongjun with a seventy-year-old body, and the fifth Boyu shouted an order, and Bojun suddenly fell to the ground naked, and the seventh clan was not as far away as the fifth ancestor. ”

"They are ashamed to be guests under the Seventh Clan again, and they left last night, I ...... I said that my family said that there was a marriage, and I can't be a light man anymore, and I hope Bojun will not blame him. ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, but the seventh leopard rushed out, he was hurt by the kick of the fifth tyrant, he poured wine, staggered on his feet, and swung his sword to chase and kill the boy who had betrayed the seventh clan, but the seventh biao stopped him.

"If you kill him, will my family's prestige be restored?"

The seventh leopard howled and cried: "Uncle, the fifth child let you suffer this great humiliation, I am unwilling, when the injury is healed, I will lead people to kill the fifth mile, and use the blood of the fifth tyrant and the fifth Lun to avenge the shame......"

In fact, it was the county magistrate who insulted them, but the brothers didn't dare to have any dissatisfaction with him, and only blamed everything on the fifth Lun, who seemed to be "better provoked".

The seventh biao is still sober: "My family has gone through this difficulty, lost face, and has become a joke in the countryside, except for the disciples and the clansmen, dozens of light chivalrous teenagers have scattered in a hurry, how to fight with the famous Fifth Clan?" What's more, he has been appreciated by the county magistrate, and he can't be moved lightly. ”

"Is this matter just settled, how can my brother still have the face to walk in the countryside in the future? will definitely be ridiculed by the county people for a lifetime. "The seventh leopard touched the collapsed nose, the nosy Fifth Lun, this time he has earned his prestige, and the object of admiration of the young people in the countryside may change from their brother to the fifth ancestor.

"My brother has been in the countryside for more than ten years, when has he ever suffered such a loss?"

Seventh Biao already has a plan: "Looking at the white fish belly gradually revealing outside:" I'll go to the township first and inform the villager of the first willow about this." ”

The first clan is undoubtedly the crown of the families who moved westward, with a big family, more than 200 acres of land, hundreds of servants, and the only "township tyrant" in the township, and the relationship network has not only been in the county, but also in the county. As long as they can pull the First Clan off the field and match the line, the Biao and Leopard Brothers only need to hide behind them and be dogs, barking at the Fifth Clan.

When the seventh biao left, he carefully told his younger brother who was drinking alcohol to relieve pain: "You stay at home well, don't provoke the fifth clan!" ”

"Yui."

The seventh leopard agreed, but as soon as the elder brother left the house, he immediately changed his clothes, wore a ring knife, and pierced his head, and when he went out, he rode on his horse in pain, but did not go to the fifth mile, but went straight to the west.

His goal is a hundred miles away.

"I promised my brother not to provoke the Fifth Lun Ancestor...... Don't go in person! ”

The seventh leopard poured another sip of wine, gritted his teeth and said: "I'm going to find Maoling's original hero, begging him to send his subordinates to kill the fifth Lun!" ”
