Chapter 55: Shashan Village II

After Qiu Lin finished going around the whole village and understood the general situation, Li Yi and the others also came back and reported the situation to Qiu Lin, Qiu Lin pondered for a while, and said to Zheng Yang: "Big brother, you can send someone to call the parents and officials of Puzhou City." ”

Zheng Yang asked uncertainly, "Are they all called?" ”

Qiu Lin said with a serious face: "Yes! All! ”

Zheng Yang thought for a moment and said with a smile: "I understand what you're going to do." Okay, I'll send someone to call it. ”

"Li Yi, you go back to the city and find Chief Steward Meng......" Qiu Lin called Li Yi again and explained some things to him, and Li Yi took the order and left with Zheng Yang's people.

Wen Qixiao was puzzled at this time, he didn't understand what this Qiu Lin was going to do, why he called the people from the official mansion and called the people from her Cloud Mist Pavilion to come over with her.

Next, while waiting for the people from both sides to come, Qiu Lin was not idle, and kept talking to the villagers. I learned about the general situation of this village, and also learned that Ah Hai has no blood relationship with the people in the village, and was picked up by his mother-in-law when she was washing clothes by the river, this child has been very smart and clever since he was a child, and he is very filial to his mother-in-law, and he is also very kind and grateful, and he is like a family member to the villagers, and everything must be considered first. This time, it was because the villagers had nothing to eat that he ventured to steal and wanted to buy some food for the others.

In less than half an hour, Li Yi and Chief Steward Meng returned, and Chief Steward Meng also brought four of his subordinates, and at the same time brought a cart full of supplies, including rice, flour, vegetables, meat, cloth, vegetable seeds, and so on.

Seeing this, Wen Qixiao exclaimed in his heart: "It really deserves to be a person from Cloud Pavilion, this speed is really fast, and the efficiency is really high." ”

Meng Xi took the villagers to move the supplies into the village, and the villagers looked at the cart of grain and knelt down to Qiu Lin Zheng Yang and them for a while to thank them, and Qiu Lin and they hurriedly asked them all to get up.

After all the materials were moved, Chief Steward Meng led his men to Qiulin and saluted, "Pavilion Master! Everything you asked for was brought. ”

Qiu Lin called Ah Hai and said to Chief Steward Meng: "Chief Steward Meng, I found a young man for you, I think he is very clever, you can arrange a suitable position for him." ”

Chief Steward Meng replied, "Yes, Pavilion Master! He turned to look at Ah Hai, the little guy was a little thinner, but his eyes were very bright and bright, and he was very clever, so he said to Ah Hai: "Although you were personally introduced by the pavilion master, you also have to abide by the rules of our Cloud Pavilion, and you have to work hard to thank the pavilion master for his kindness, if you don't do well, I will still fire you, understand?" ”

As soon as Ah Hai heard that he could go to work in the Cloud Mist Pavilion, and he was personally introduced by the master of the Cloud Mist Pavilion, he was very happy, who in this Puzhou City didn't know that the salary of the Cloud Mist Pavilion was the best, and it was also the most demanding and difficult to enter, he never dreamed that he could enter the Cloud Mist Pavilion to do things, and when he was excited, he knelt down and kowtowed to Qiu Lin again.

Qiu Lin helped him up and said, "If you really want to thank me, then work hard and make achievements to show me, don't live up to my expectations of you, and don't lose my people." ”

Ah Hai said excitedly: "Yes, Pavilion Master!" I will definitely work well and will not disgrace you. ”

Qiu Lin took Chief Steward Meng and a few of them around the whole village, including their barren land and small rivers, talked about their thoughts and opinions, and asked Chief Steward Meng their opinions, discussed the solution and how to do it in the future, and then handed it over to Chief Steward Meng and them to actually operate.

As soon as Qiu Lin finished discussing here, the parents and officials of Puzhou City here had arrived, and more than a dozen officials of all sizes had come to arrest them.

A group of people hurriedly came to Zheng Yang and knelt down, and shouted in unison: "Xiaguan see the king of Zhenhe, the prince Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

The villagers and the people of the Cloud Pavilion saw that the county magistrate and other adults all knelt down in front of Zheng Yang, and hurriedly followed suit. The villagers never thought that a relative of the emperor would come to their poor village and bring them food.

Zheng Yang said: "Get up!" Then he introduced Qiu Lin, who was standing beside him, to the county order: "Zhang County Order, this is the Qiu Pavilion Master of Cloud Pavilion!" After the two greeted each other, Zheng Yang continued: "Zhang County Order, this king accidentally discovered a place like Shashan Village today, I don't know how many places like Shashan Village are there in the jurisdiction of Zhang County Order?" ”

When Zheng Yang spoke, he always had a kind and kind smile on his face, and his tone was also very gentle, but when Zhang Xianling heard that his ears were like steel needles pierced in his heart, his body trembled uncontrollably in fright, and said: "It's the negligence of the lower officials, it is the dereliction of duty of the lower officials!" ”

Zheng Yang is familiar with the set of officialdom, so he doesn't talk nonsense: "This king knows that Zhang Xianling cares about the people, but it is inevitable that there are negligence and omissions in the busy official business, isn't this the king also helped you find a helper." Just now, this king has discussed with the lord of the Autumn Pavilion, and the Cloud Pavilion is willing to help our government solve problems and assist you in the work of poverty alleviation and poverty alleviation, I hope you will cooperate happily! ”

Zhang Xian Ling commanded: "Yes! Xia Guan must cooperate with the Cloud Mist Pavilion to do this work. ”

Zhang Xianren is an honest man, a clean official, and he works hard to do practical things for the people, but his ability is limited, and it is difficult to make a big career. As soon as he heard that the Cloud Mist Pavilion would assist him in this work, he put down the big stone in his heart, this Chief Steward Meng and him are also old acquaintances, they have always been cooperating, and it would be best to have his cooperation.

A group of people held a meeting on the spot, and explained all the work and precautions, as for the details, Zhang Xianling and Chief Steward Meng discussed it according to the actual situation, with only one purpose: to drive the local people out of poverty and make a fortune.

After the meeting, Zhang Xian ordered them to stay with the people of Cloud Mist Pavilion to discuss what to do next, and they all returned to Puzhou City in Qiulin.

Today happened to be a cloudy day, on the way back, Qiu Lin sat outside the carriage leaning against the door frame, and there was no need to be afraid of the sun, and the two legs were hanging outside and shaking, and the mood was very happy.

Wen Qixiao wondered in his heart, I don't know why Qiu Lin's mood has changed again? Xiang Zheng Yang asked, "Why is he so happy?" ”

Zheng Yang, who was walking in front, turned around and replied: "She is happy that the people don't have to suffer from poverty anymore." ”

Yu Mingbo, who was walking beside him, asked puzzledly: "Brother Qiulin, those villagers are all old and weak women and children, why do you want them to be self-reliant?" What can they do? Isn't it more direct and better to give them food directly? ”

Qiu Lin glanced at Yu Mingbo and then at Wen Qilun, neither of them looked very understanding, she asked Wen Qilun, "Can you understand?" ”

Wen Qilun thought for a moment and said, "You don't want them to develop dependence, is that right?" ”

Qiu Lin nodded and said, "That's right! Did your husband and teacher teach you the saying 'It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish'? ”

Both nodded: "Sir taught!" ”

Qiu Lin: "You understand the meaning of this sentence, right?" ”

Both nodded again: "Now I understand!" ”

Qiu Lin continued: "I can just give them food, but they always have a time to finish eating, right?!" As the saying goes, 'One bucket of Mien, one stone of Mien!' Give them once and they will be grateful, if after ten times? Then they will feel that it is what should be given to them, and they will develop inertia. What if today it is a crowd, but tomorrow it will be 10,000 or 100,000? Don't say it's my Cloud Pavilion, even the country can't afford it! The first time I gave them food, I helped them get through the difficulties temporarily, and the rest of the road still depends on their own walking, and I have already pointed out the road to them, it depends on how they walk, and what their future life will be like depends on their own creation. ”

Wen Qilun said happily: "Thank you, Brother Qiulin!" Now I understand better. No wonder it is said that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, which makes too much sense. ”

Qiu Lin said: "You two should go out and take a walk more when you are still young, it's useless to just read books, what the outside world is like can't be recorded in books." Many folk principles are also suitable for application in national affairs, and going more, seeing more, and learning more will benefit you infinitely in the officialdom in the future. ”

Wen Qixiao said with a smile: "It's a pity that you don't serve the country in the court, if you are an official in the court, you are a great blessing for the people of your Shan Li Kingdom!" ”

Zheng Yang also said: "Yes! Qiu Lin, you should consider coming back to be a real prince, I think your second brother will be very happy. ”

Qiu Lin hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't don't...... Big brother, you better let me go! It's not that you don't know my ambitions, I can't stand this constraint, I'm still like this to be my 'idle prince', I can go wherever I want, leisurely, free, and !! After speaking, he took out the jade flute from his waist and played it.

Zheng Yang's reaction to his sister could only be to smile and shake her head, she could do whatever she wanted, as long as she was happy.

Wen Qixiao turned to look at Qiu Lin behind him, and Qiu Lin's series of actions today made him fall into deep thought.

Wen Qilun and Yu Mingbo both walked around Qiu Lin. Yu Mingbo pestered Qiu Lin to teach him to play the flute, Qiu Lin was not stingy, he taught him if he wanted to learn from her, singing and laughing along the way.
