Chapter 57 The Qing official keeps his boots

Liaozhou City is not big, compared to the two super cities of Nanjing and Shuntianfu, Liaozhou can be said to be small and pitiful.

But to say that Liaozhou is small, but it is not small, after all, it is a state establishment, the population and the size of the city are still there, at least the main road in Liaozhou City is quite spacious, with the standards of the market, how is it also a two-way six-lane.

However, at this moment, Yang Shaofeng felt that Liaozhou City still had to be expanded, and the two-way six lanes were obviously not enough.

Is this the entire Liaozhou people crowded on this main road?

The appearance of Yang Shaofeng made the already quiet atmosphere even quieter, and all the people of Liaozhou, whether they lived in Liaozhou City, or outside the city, or those who were not far from the river embankment that day, and were already desperate to death, all the people turned their eyes to this seventeen-year-old minister.

Many people have seen with their own eyes, and many people have heard from other places, that is, this seventeen-year-old minister of the Qincha, after the transfer of the soldiers of the Liaozhou Guard, has been standing on the embankment without moving, including when the second flood arrived, even when the water surface has already submerged the embankment, drowning the feet of this Qincha lord, he still holds the banner of the king's order, like an ancient god, firmly stepping on the embankment.

After the flood passed, it was the minister who led the soldiers of Liaozhou Wei to clean up the flooded fields and sprinkle lime all over the epidemic prevention.

The human heart is always fleshy.

Yang Shaofeng never said that he had any credit, but the people of Liaozhou City knew and would always remember what this Lord Qincha had done.

In less than a month, two pairs of boots were worn out!

Since they knew last night that Yang Qincha was going to leave today, the people of Liaozhou spontaneously gathered on the main road in the city.

An old man who was almost too old to walk, slowly walked forward with crutches with the help of two young and strong people, until Yang Shaofeng's front horse, he slowly bowed down: "I've seen Lord Qincha!" ”

At this moment, Yang Shaofeng, Zhu Zhanji and others hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and then stepped forward to support the two old men.

Fifty rods at home, sixty rods in the township, seventy rods in the country, eighty rods in the court, ninety, if the Son of Heaven wants to ask questions, then he will follow his room and follow with Zhen - like this kind of old man in his seventies and eighties, whoever comes has to pay three points!

The old man didn't lie, and after slowly straightening up, he spoke again: "Please get on the horse!" ”

Yang Shaofeng was a little confused, and hesitated: "Uncle, what is this?" ”

The old man took a pair of boots from a young man behind him, and choked up: "The old man knows that Lord Qincha has worn out two pairs of boots in Liaozhou.

We are not blessed in this place in Liaozhou, we can't stay in the Qincha Lord, and I don't dare to stay, the adults have a great future, and they shouldn't nest in this small place in Liaozhou.

Please get on the horse, the old decay for the adults to put on a new pair, I wish the adults a steady progress, step by step, the prince of Wandai! ”

Yang Shaofeng suddenly became a little overwhelmed.

The so-called allusions to the boots of the Qing officials and the hats of the stolen officials are known, but that is when an official leaves office, the local people either leave boots or hats, and then hang them on the city gate - keep old boots and change them to new boots, which means to rise step by step, hang the official hat, which means that the official has done the end, and it is good to finish it as soon as possible!

But Yang Shaofeng has never heard of any minister from ancient times to the present, who is the same as himself, who was asked by the common people to keep his old boots.

Seeing that Yang Shaofeng was a little at a loss, Liu Hang took a few steps forward, leaned to Yang Shaofeng's side and said, "Please get on the horse, don't blow the hearts of the people of Liaozhou!" ”

Zhu Zhanji, who has also been busy in Liaozhou for almost a month, but has not received such treatment, can't help but feel a little surprised: "Yo, this is still being handled?" Waiting for someone to help you get on the horse? ”

Yang Shaofeng snorted at this time, turned around and was about to kick on the horse.

However, the old man who spoke just now stopped Yang Shaofeng, patted the man next to him, and gestured to the horse, and then spoke: "If it weren't for Lord Qincha, this Liaozhou City wouldn't know how many people would die, how many fields would be destroyed, and it would be a great favor to live, and I couldn't help but repay it." The old man is already old and unbearable, and there is no blessing, so let the grandson of the old man come to replace the old man and send the adult on the horse today! ”

Yang Shaofeng turned around and pulled up the man who was kneeling on the ground and was ready to act as a stepping stone, and said with a smile: "I have a pair of knees of the people of the Ming Dynasty, kneeling to the prince of heaven and earth, but Yang can't afford it, so as not to fold his life." ”

After finishing speaking, Yang Shaofeng didn't wait for the old man to say anything, he simply turned over and got on the horse, bowed to the old man and said, "Don't blame the old man, the kid really can't afford such a big gift, don't blame the old man." ”

Seeing that Yang Shaofeng had already mounted his horse, the old man sighed, turned to bow slightly to Yang Shaofeng, and then walked to Yang Shaofeng's side, took off the boots under Yang Shaofeng's feet, and put on new ones for him.

After the two boots were changed, the old man took a few steps back, holding Yang Shaofeng's boots with both hands, and shouted loudly: "This is the third pair of boots of Lord Qincha!" ”

The old man's voice was not loud, but the pair of boots that were raised high and were about to wear out were seen by everyone.

After slowly putting down his hands and handing the boots to the man next to him, the old man waved his hand to the crowd again, and the crowd that was still blocking the road just now slowly separated, and a man held something wrapped in oiled paper.

The old man took it from the man's hand, dismantled the oil paper outside, and handed it to Yang Shaofeng with both hands: "Lord Qincha is kind to heaven, and the people of Liaozhou have nothing to repay, this umbrella is willing to shelter the sun and rain for the adult!" ”

Yang Shaofeng slowly unfolded the umbrella in the old man's hand, but saw that the umbrella surface that was larger than the usual umbrella was full of dense names of people, and many places were simply fingerprints, and there was almost no blank space on the umbrella surface.

Yang Shaofeng was stunned for a moment, and after swallowing back the strange puppet that was almost to his mouth, he said directly: "This Wanmin umbrella? Is this what it looks like? ”

The old man was stunned by Yang Shaofeng's question: "Wanmin umbrella?" It's a fitting name. But aren't all the umbrellas the same?

The old man remembered that on the first day of his arrival in Liaozhou, he was drenched in the heavy rain, so he discussed with the villagers and gave him an umbrella to make it easier for him to shelter from the rain. The reason why I wrote the name is actually that I am old and confused, thinking that it is good to let this rain on the old decay, and not to let the adults suffer from the cold. ”

Yang Shaofeng breathed a sigh of relief, as long as there was no traverser......

These stupid and lovely people, sometimes they don't know what to say about them!

The old man led another man to slowly walk to Yang Shaofeng's side with a tray, picked up a glass of wine from the tray, and handed it to Yang Shaofeng with both hands: "Lord Qincha is gracious, the people of Liaozhou will never forget, please!" ”

Yang Shaofeng had to bend down again, took the wine glass from the old man's hands with both hands, straightened up and saluted the people around him: "The kindness of the fathers and elders in Liaozhou, Yang will never forget!" ”

took the wine glass that Yang Shaofeng bent down and handed back, and the old man filled it again and handed it to Yang Shaofeng: "The people of Liaozhou wish Lord Qincha a bright future, and the prince of Wandai!" Please! ”

Yang Shaofeng bent down again to take it, and once again respected the people: "Yang and Liu Zhizhou have already discussed, Liaozhou will promote social studies among Zhuangzi in the future, so that more children can study." Yang also hopes that Liaozhou will have a few more champions and serve the country in the future! ”

Then he took the wine glass that Yang Shaofeng bent down and handed back, and the old man filled it again and handed it to Yang Shaofeng, but then he didn't know what to say, so he had to choke up and said, "Lord Qincha, please!" ”

Bent down again to take it, and once again saluted the people, Yang Shaofeng also choked up and said, "Please!" ”

Finally, taking the wine glass in Yang Shaofeng's hand, the old man had no reason to keep Yang Shaofeng, so he had to turn sideways and let Yang Shaofeng continue to move forward.

Yang Shaofeng gently knocked the horse's belly, and the snow treaded by the master began to walk forward slowly.

The crowd seemed to get a signal from the horse's hooves raised by stepping on the snow, and began to slowly retreat to both sides, ensuring that Yang Shaofeng and his party could walk out of Liaozhou City smoothly.

It wasn't until he walked out of a long way that Yang Shaofeng heard a heart-rending voice shouting from behind: "Yang Qin sent me to wait!" I'm not blessed! ”

Yang Shaofeng raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes, secretly urging the snow to speed up.

……

Outside Liaozhou City, Liu Hang also wiped his red eyes, and said with a reluctant smile: "After decades of ups and downs in officialdom, today I know the word "people's hearts." ”

Yang Shaofeng also smiled reluctantly and said: "The so-called Eryu Erlu, the people's fat and people's ointment; The small people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive.

In fact, in Yang's view, the heavens are easy to coax, and the people are difficult to deceive. The people are never fools, whoever is good to them, they will remember it for a lifetime, and then pass it on by word of mouth, and their ancestors will remember it from generation to generation. ”

Liu Hang bowed and said, "Be taught!" ”

Yang Shaofeng looked up at the sky at this time, and arched his hand to Liu Hang and Qin Zining: "Seeing off thousands of miles, there will be a farewell, the two of you still have official business, let's say goodbye." ”

Liu Hang arched his hand and said: "May Lord Qincha have a smooth journey, please!" ”

Yang Shaofeng nodded, and took Zhu Zhanji and the others to turn the horse's head and run towards the east.

Liu Hang shook his head and said to Qin Zining: "Let's go, we should go back, even if it's not for these people, just for those boots, we still have a lot of work in the future." ”

Qin Zining hummed and said, "As soon as this Lord Qin cha leaves, I'm afraid that many people can't help but jump, right?" ”

The cold light in Liu Hang's eyes flashed away, and he glanced at the surrounding group of officials, and said coldly: "The ugly words of this official are ahead, if anyone stops this official from learning from Yang Qincha, so that this official is left with a black gauze hat by the people when he leaves, this official will send him to see Emperor Taizu Gao!" ”

PS: There are two more who are not afraid of death, "Tang Sheng Chunqiu" and "Back to Ancient Times as Spies" begged me to sacrifice them to the sky. What can I do? I'm also desperate~Let's sacrifice~
