Chapter 40: The Three Remains

The people in the courtyard didn't dare to come out, so they just looked at Xu Deshan to see what this four-year-old kid wanted to do to you, could it be that he was a god who came down to earth, and he could call the wind and rain, and he couldn't kill himself and others at once with a flying sword.

Xu Deshan came to the front of the brazier, looked up at Fan Zhongyan's tablet, then looked at Wang Quanzao, and then looked at the people around.

And Xu Deshan retracted his gaze to Fan Zhongyan's tablet, sighed softly, and for a moment, everyone present felt ashamed again, and had a feeling that they had disappointed this young man, even if this young man was only a four-year-old child.

Xu Deshan didn't say a word, took out a folding fan from his sleeve, put it in his hand and played with it for a while, then shook his hand and threw it into the brazier in front of him, and then turned around and left.

Xu Zheng Xu Jing naturally knew that Xu Deshan's fan was exchanged for ten cents from somewhere, but the others present didn't know, seeing that this young man shocked everyone with his extremely powerful aura, and then took it out and burned the fan, turned his head and left, others could sit still, but Wang Quanzao couldn't sit still anyway.

This is his county office, and the activities he organizes, as a result, such a demon came, if he was let go like this, Wang Quan would be able to sleep peacefully when he went to bed early? I'm afraid that in the middle of the night, I will be afraid that Xu Deshan will crawl over to find him.

Wang Quanzao shouted loudly: "The young man stays." ”

Xu Deshan did not stop, but his steps were not flustered, he still walked back step by step, Wang Quanzao could only take two steps by himself, stopped in front of Xu Deshan, thought about the previous experience, Wang Quanzao made a deep bow to the four-year-old child, and said: "This little boy ......"

When Wang Quanzao said this, he suddenly became embarrassed, he was in such a hurry to stop people, but he wanted to ask people something, it seemed that it was embarrassing to ask anything.

Xu Deshan looked Wang Quanzao up and down again, completely regarded this place as his home field, Wang Quanzao was looked at by Xu Deshan as if he had been punished at his boss's house, and he couldn't help but look more respectful, looking forward to what response Xu Deshan would give him like this.

Not only Wang Quanzao, but all the people in the audience, including Xu Zheng and Xu Jing, were waiting for Xu Deshan to say something, and Xu Deshan did not disappoint them, and finally opened his mouth and said to Wang Quanzao: "Do you want to ask me what I burned?" ”

Wang Quanzao, the audience was nodding frantically, Xu Deshan said: "Since you ask, I won't hide it from you, I'll tell you our origin first, the three of us are the third son of Xu Caizheng of Xu Mansion in Fuping Township, Xu Zheng Xu Jing, my name is Xu Deshan is also." ”

To tell the truth, Wang Quan had already guessed that Xu Deshan and the three were Xu Caizheng's sons, after all, at this time, the traffic was not developed, and the control was strict.

But speculation is speculation, even if Xu Deshan admits it in person now, what can you do, Wang Quanzao glanced at Xu Deshan again, Xu Deshan's domineering spirit has not weakened at all, with the general look of the emperor Lao Tzu first, Lao Tzu second, this aura, even if Wang Quanzao clearly knows that Xu Caizheng has been dismissed, even if he arrests Xu Deshan, Xu Caizheng has no way to take himself, but Wang Quanzao does not dare to be disrespectful to Xu Deshan in his heart.

Xu Deshan asked again: "Do you know the origin of that folding fan?" ”

Wang Quanzao hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Yesterday you sent an invitation to my father's house, my father has resigned for a long time, retired to Nanshan, I don't want to come, I said to my father, Fan Fuzi taught the worries of the world first, the joy of the world after the joy, now the border is not flat, the new deal is worrying, how can my father be alone, a distance, my father said that the court is now bloated, too many mediocre officials, disheartened, unintentionally out of the mountain, I said that I Song Dynasty to govern the country with literature, the government is clear, the head of the past dynasties, although there are mediocre officials, but there are more ministers, how my father does not look at the county magistrate, if it is a mediocre official, do not pay attentionIf you are a capable minister, recommend one or two for him, it can be regarded as doing a part for my Great Song Dynasty, my father still does not want to come, but he was also moved by me, so he sent three of my brothers to come, and explained to me that when I came here, I was not allowed to mention my father's name, and I was not allowed to explain my origin, but I just observed the words and deeds of the county, and told the truth after going back, my father had his own decision. Xu Deshan said with his back hand.

Just speaking of this, it is already amazing, for foreign officials, a Beijing official, even if it is just a Beijing official who has resigned for many years, the connections in the capital are also extremely valuable assets, if this time can win Xu Caizheng's recommendation, then wouldn't it be able to go further and go to the state on an errand.

Wang Quanzao's idea had just sprouted, but Xu Deshan snorted coldly: "It's a pity, it turns out that you, the magistrate, are just a mediocre official." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately scared Wang Quanzao a big head, don't look at the unwritten rule of the Great Song Dynasty is that even if there is no fault, even if there is merit, most officials are willing to be mediocre and do nothing for a lifetime, but if you say who is mediocre on the surface, everyone can stand it.

Wang Quanzao couldn't help asking: "I have been an official for more than ten years, diligent, hard-working, why am I a mediocre official." ”

Xu Deshan said: "Let me ask you, how long have you been in office in Gaoyang County?" ”

Wang Quanzao said: "More than a month. ”

Xu Deshan said: "Okay, since there is more than a month, I will ask you, the population of Gaoyang County, how much is the tax, what are the customs of the people in each township, whether there are bad people, how do you want to work hard here to benefit one party, whether to persuade farmers to cultivate, or to attract investment, or to catch and suppress bandits, let's listen." ”

Wang Quanzao was speechless, of course, this is not to say that he doesn't know anything about the questions asked by Xu Deshan, among which the most basic population tax Wang Quanzao still knows a thing or two, but in addition, Xu Deshan's next question is too profound, I'm afraid it's a lot more complicated than the scientific research strategy, such a topic, Wang Quanzao has not thought about it, let alone Wang Quanzao, I'm afraid that nine out of ten officials across the country have not thought about this problem, in their eyes, being an official is probably just a matter of conveying government decrees, recovering taxes, and arresting robbersAs for the others, the more they do, the more they make mistakes, and the more mistakes they make, they will not be disgraced and punished.

Originally, this kind of way of being an official was common in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the prime minister came, Wang Quanzao could refute a few words, but at this time, on this occasion, Wang Quanzao was speechless.

Why is Fan Zhongyan worshipped, in addition to the military industry, resisted the attack of the Western Xia people, the biggest political achievement in the country is to have the Qingli New Deal, which makes the Great Song Dynasty atmosphere look new, so it has such a high prestige and popularity, and Fan Zhongyan has one of the new policies, that is, to distinguish between mediocre officials and capable ministers, but he has just said a lot of high-sounding words in front of Fan Zhongyan's tablet, such as learning from Fan Zhongyan, following the footsteps of Fan Xianggong, and so on said countless words, and now temporarily change his words, with Wang Quanzao's current kung fu, not yet so thick-skinned.

Wang Quan opened his mouth three times in the morning, but he couldn't say anything, Xu Deshan said: "Fan Fuzi's learning, learning to self-cultivation, learning to establish morality, learning to apply, you still have the face to make a big statement in front of Fan Fuzi's tablet." ”

Everyone was red and red by Xu Deshan's words, and they didn't dare to speak, Xu Deshan said: "You ask me what I threw in the fire, I will tell you, my father once was an official in Beijing, once had a relationship with Fan Fuzi, Fan Fuzi appreciated my father's talent, when he parted, he gave this fan to him, my father treasured it so far, when I left, my father handed over this fan to me, and said that after coming to the county office, if I see that the county is clean and clear, good at government affairs, and benevolence for the people, I want to give this fan away, if you see that the county is useless, He told me to burn this fan, and worship the spirit of Master Fan in the sky. ”

The righteousness of Xu Deshan's words was awe-inspiring, so that everyone in the audience was speechless and dumbfounded, it turned out that he thought he was a high immortal, Lord Fan Zhongyan, who once had a one-sided relationship with the child's father, and gave a fan, which was simply incredible, especially Wang Quanzao, hurriedly looked at the brazier again, but Xu Deshan said these words, at this time, where is the shadow of the fan in the brazier, it has long turned into a pile of white ash and mixed with paper money.

Not to mention other people, even if it was Xu Zheng and Xu Jing, if it weren't for seeing Xu Deshan buy this fan back on the side of the road, Xu Zheng and Xu Jing would have believed Xu Deshan's nonsense.

The two brothers are quite unsettled now, their hearts tremble, their legs are weak, and they almost fall to the ground. We all know that you Xu Deshan can say, but if you brag at home, you can't go outside and brag like this, of course, bragging, bragging, but you can also brag a little bit of a bit of a fan, what Fan Zhongyan is talking nonsense, these people are afraid that they are not stupid, okay, while others have not reacted, let's run quickly, don't wait for others to think about it, none of the three of us can run, we will be arrested by others.

Xu Deshan also seems to understand this truth, pretending to be forced in front of Wang Quanzao, snorting coldly, striding meteors, going straight to Xu Zheng and Xu Jing, pulling the two of them to go out, if they go like this, today's experience is afraid that Xu Zheng and Xu Jing can blow for a lifetime, but seeing that he is about to walk to the door of the back garden, as long as he goes out, it is the sea and the sky with the fish jumping, and the sky is high and the birds are flying, but at this time, I heard Wang Quanzao shouting in the back: "The three of you are in a hurry, and stay for a while!" ”
