Chapter 13 Luonan County (Ask for collections, ask for comments, and give rewards)

Walking to the gate of the city, there were soldiers standing crookedly on both sides of the city gate, and they set up this sign and wrote, Bai Ding entered the city for a penny, and the livestock paid another penny. Xu Qing was wearing civilian clothes at this time, so he paid three cents, which was not much anyway. There were not many people entering the city in the afternoon, and the soldiers were very leisurely. Xu Qing took out ten cents from his pocket, and asked a soldier:

"This big brother, I don't know where the county government is?"

"What do you want...... the soldier quietly accepted the money: "The county government is in the city, just walk straight away, but now the adults are not there." ”

Xu Qing thanked him and went straight to the inn, he knew that the ancient county orders set a variety of judicial and administrative functions, and some county orders only sat in the hall for a few days a month in order to be idle, and they were only limited to the morning and afternoon to deal with private matters and have fun. If anyone does not go to the lawsuit on time, he will be given fifty strokes first, because the complaint is guilty of three points.

Although Xu Qing came to lead the army and reward, he was still an eight-rank loose official, and he didn't want to disturb others in his private time. Besides, when I first arrived in Luonan, I needed to inquire about the situation, and I could decide whether to give gifts, how much to give, and which people should not be offended.

The sunset was about to fall, Xu Qing and the innkeeper were talking in a grunt, the boss's surname was Zou, he looked honest, there were not many people in the store, so he made a table with Xu Qing, of course, Xu Qing had to come out before the meal. The shopkeeper Zou is a local, and after a few glasses of wine, he came to Luo Nan like a few treasures to Xu Qingyi.

Luonan County is located in the Yellow River Basin, and a Luonan River passes through the north, which was developed earlier. About half of the "locals" living in the territory of the world lived, and the rest increased and decreased from time to time due to the military plague.

Because Luonan County is located in the Central Plains, it is a place where soldiers must fight, and there have been many wars since ancient times, and it has been difficult since the end of the Sui Dynasty.

During the Qin period, Luonan belonged to the southern border of the inner historical land. In the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty of the Western Han Dynasty, it was placed in Shangluo County, and the governance office was located in Shang County, which belonged to Hongnong County. Until the third year of the emperor's reign, the rejection of Yang County was abolished, and the rejection of Yang County was changed to Luonan County, which belonged to Shangzhou. In the second year of Wude, Luonan County belonged to Shangluo County, Shangzhou, Guannei Road, and it was a suburb of Beijing.

It's just that Xu Qing has not felt the atmosphere of prosperity at all since he entered the city, he is not at all inconspicuous, and even a little poor, it seems that the impact of the war is quite great.

Xu Qing inquired about the county government, and the shopkeeper Zou was very proud and said:

"This Luonan County Order is my own family, and I am still his cousin in terms of seniority?"

"Disrespectful and disrespectful......" Xu Qing cooperated in a timely manner and flattered him.

"It's just that this Zou County Commander is much older than me, and he was a township leader elected when he founded the country, and he will be ...... when he becomes this term."

It turns out that when the Tang Dynasty was founded, in order to fill the vacancies of officials, some magistrates were appointed using the promotion method of the Han Dynasty.

Xu Qing knew that this county commander was old, so he didn't seek no merit, only no fault, anyway, he would pat his ass and leave. Fortunately, there are no powerful families in the county, and there are not many lawsuits, so the old county magistrate is not willing to worry about any economic construction.

This Xu Qing was relieved, he thought in his heart: This kind of person is the best, hehe, send a little gift and send it away, it's okay to talk, and he won't be too restricted to be a bully county magistrate, tsk, the emperor is really considerate, and gave me such a good place.

Xu Qing said a lot of words to the shopkeeper before it was over, judging from the shopkeeper's words, there is no bullying in Luonan County, Xu Qing thought this was not right, it did not conform to the routine of crossing, what about the young master who said yes, why didn't he send it over to slap his face?

The next day, Xu Qing brought a piece of cloth, put on an official uniform, and rode a donkey to the county office. Maybe it's because of this official uniform, the county government is very efficient, and the tea is poured before it is cold, and the county order comes out. Although Xu Qing is only an eighth grade, he is also sealed by the emperor himself, and others can't help but look up to him.

"Brother Xu Qing, you're finally here......" The old man with frosty temples said with a smile, this is the Zou County Order.

"The lower officials are polite...... Xu Qing got up and saluted, and then met with the chief bookkeeper, the county chief and other officials.

"Tsk, Brother Xu is really young and promising, he looks less than twenty, right?" Zou County ordered Xu Qing to go to the inner hall.

"How dare you, but the time has come, a carving insect skill has entered the Holy Listening ......" Xu Qing was also polite.

"Brother Xu, a few days ago, a document was placed on it, saying that Brother Xu was naturalized in our county, and he also rewarded the land and house." Zou County Ling said slowly: "Brother didn't dare to slack off, he sent officials to measure the land, bought a house, and I also paid for the repair of the ...... myself."

Xu Qing sighed in his heart, old fox, the public money is his favor, and what is even more hateful is that this sentence clearly indicates that Xu Qing is going to take something out...... Xu Qing couldn't pretend to be stupid, so he could only take out a piece of gold, which he had obtained from copying the village, put it with him, and handed it to Zou County with a grateful face.

Zou County's eyes changed from small to big, this is gold, although silver can be exchanged for gold, but what do ordinary people do when they exchange it? Ordinary people can't see silver for life, and some of the slightly richer can't see gold for life, Zou County Ling is not so ignorant, it's just a piece of gold, and no one has ever given it to him. First, the righteous Ling Ran stuck a knife in his friend's ribs, and then he looked like he couldn't refute Xu Qing's face even if he tortured the old man, and accepted the gold nugget reluctantly. Although Xu Qing was disgusted, his face was silent, and he cooperated with the performance of Zou County's order.

After some praise and praise, Zou County was satisfied and asked the owner of the house to take him to count the land. Compared with the land, Xu Qing was more concerned about his two servants who had not met, like the mood before the later generations tore the express.

Xu Qing picked up Xu Qi at the inn, and put the board car on again, but the innkeeper was startled, he didn't want Xu Qing to be an official, he didn't dare to ask for Xu Qing's house money, and he also brought a few dried fish to Xu Qing. Xu Qing shook his head, but he didn't refuse, feeling in his heart that there was a layer of heaven between the officials and the people.

The head of the household gave Xu Qing something similar to the household registration book, which said Xu Qing's Tianmu residence. After signaling for a long time, Xu Qing saw the meaning of asking for merit and reward in his eyes, and gave more than one or two pieces of silver.

For Xu Qing, who is still a college student, he doesn't have much experience, so he secretly made up his mind to learn more and watch more. The head of the house collected the money, and under the pretext that he was busy with official business, he didn't go out of the city with Xu Qing, and called a porter to lead Xu Qing and the others out of the city.

There was another period of going over the mountains and mountains, and Xu Qi scolded Xu Qing for being a liar, because Xu Qing told her yesterday that she would never have to rush again. The mountains and rivers are suspicious, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, no, Xu Qinggang wanted to plagiarize the poems, and felt that the scenery was wrong, the yellow and sudden mountains, there was no greenery, even if it was late autumn, it should not be so.

Just when Xu Qing was full of doubts, the porter turned a dirt bag mountain, and a path appeared in Xu Qing's eyes, and looked at the past along the porter's point, all of which were desolate fields, and several broken grass houses in the distance gathered together, even crooked, and some didn't even have a door, only a black rag to cover it. Xu Qing was dumbfounded, is this for me to be the owner of the free land, or to support the poverty alleviation in the mountainous areas......
