Rushing back to the county government, Yan Xing entered the hall, and Yan Zhi had already met with Wei Qi, Pei Qian, Jia Kui and other Cao Shi in the mansion one by one, for this well-looking and solemn Hedong County Cheng, the Peng Shi of the county government did not dare to slack off, knowing that this person was Yan Xing's right-hand man.

After many officials dispersed and returned to Ben Cao's office, Yan Xingcai and Yan Zhi entered the wing room one after the other.

Yan Xing saw that Yan Shi's face was a little uncertain at this time, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and simply explained to Yan Shi the reason why he left the mansion lightly.

After hearing about Xi Zhicai's illness, Yan Shi's face became more solemn, he himself knew the art of Qihuang, and immediately called the two doctors who were waiting for the crime, Doctor Cao, and after carefully inquiring about Xi Zhicai's condition, he waved his hand to let the two doctors retreat.

Yan Xing waited patiently until Master Yan had asked, and then slowly asked:

"Zhicai's illness?"

"Xi Sima's stubborn illness is indeed not something that quacks can cure!"

Hearing Yan Zhu say this, Yan Xing thought about it and couldn't help but ask again:

"Then Master Yan knows that in Hedong, there are still good doctors who can cure such stubborn diseases?"

In his opinion, he was strictly taught to travel to the county of Yunzhou, and he was in the northeast of Hebei for a long time, and he was a person who was proficient in pharmacology.

Yan Xing sincerely hoped that he could recommend a few good doctors to him, get rid of Cao, a doctor who entered the county government, and also be able to treat the diseases of his civil and military forces.

Yan Zhu heard Yan Xing's inquiry, his clear face was not lacking in solemnity, the long beard under his chin fluttered, looking at Yan Xing's face, thinking about what he had seen and heard along the way, the light in his eyes flickered, he sighed, stroked his beard and said slowly:

"There is one person who can cure this disease!"

"Who?"

"Multiplication."

"Ride?"

Reading the name that came out of Master Yan's mouth, Yan Xing frowned, he thought about it for a long time, and he didn't remember his impression of this person, but he thought that since he was a good doctor in Master Yan's mouth, it must also be something extraordinary, he couldn't help asking:

"Where is this person?"

"Mei Cheng is a person from the time of Emperor Xiaojing of the former Han Dynasty, but the prince of the palace can't find him now!"

Hearing that Mei Cheng was a person from the period of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, Yan Xing's face changed slightly, and his breathing became a little heavy, looking at the unrelenting smile on Yan Shi's face, he frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice:

"What does Master Yan mean by this?"

"There is a saying in the "Seven Hairs" of the Mei Cheng that the son of the noble man of the present husband has a gentle and sweet diet, and the fat is fat; The clothes are mixed and warm, and the heat is shining. Although there is the strength of gold and stone, it will still be eliminated and solved, but it is between the muscles and bones? ”

"The desires of the ears and eyes, the peace of the branches, and the sum of the blood. And the husband is out of the public opinion, and the fate is said to be the opportunity to become impotent; The cave house is a clean official, and the fate is called the medium of cold and heat; The moth eyebrows of the tooth are called the axe of cutting sex; Crispy fat pus, life is called the medicine of rotting intestines. ”

"With this number of poisons, can An not get sick?"

Yan Shi's words were loud, although Yan Xing heard that he was short of breath for a while, he was not angry after all, most of Xi Zhicai's stubborn illness was indeed the root of the disease that fell from his wandering and destitute life in Yangcheng in the past.

But Yan Shi's words not only refer to Xi Zhicai's illness, but also satirize Yan Xing's long night drinking and indulgence.

Yan Xing reluctantly showed a hint of a smile and smiled at Master Yan:

"Master Yan's words mean that I already know. It's just that the soldiers fought a series of fierce battles and captured the land east of the river, and they worked hard and achieved great success. I congratulate the subordinate Wu with me, and I also take the righteousness of rejoicing with the people! ”

"People are satisfied, they are suffering from indulgence, they are quick to be desired, and they forget the danger of living in peace. In ancient times, Emperor Xin made a long night drink, seven days and seven nights, and finally died in the country. The night banquet of the king, night after day, the king is drunk and mistaken in government, the ministers drink a lot and hurt their bodies, they still do not repent, and they promise to enjoy with the people, which is not also ridiculous! ”

Yan Shi still refused to give up on Yan Xing's excuses. Yan Xing listened to Master Yan's stern accusation, his face changed for a while under the four eyes, he had been victorious recently, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart after all, and asked with a sneer:

"Since the public stabbed me in front of me with the story of the Shang Dynasty's demise, then I also want to ask, if I am a person who is about to die and forget the danger of living in peace, then why will Wei Gu, Fan Xian and others die and be destroyed, why should Wang Yi sue for forgiveness, and why I have not been defeated, but can stand proudly in the county government east of the river?"

Yan Zhi still did not change his color in the face of Yan Xing's forced gaze, and continued:

"The death of Ji and Xuan is also, and Tang Wu is encountered. Today, it is all over, and the gentleman is also. How can they die together? However, it is also gone, Jun An knows that under the ruin, there is no Tang Wuhu? ”

It was the behavior of the king of Shang to drink for a long night and delay political affairs, and Xia Wei and Shang Wei perished because they met wise and heroic monarchs such as Shang Tang and Zhou Wu. For example, there are many people in power today, such as Xia Wei, so when they encounter people who have the behavior of the king of Shang, they cannot destroy each other.

But the situation of these people is also precarious, how can Yan Xing know that there is no wise and martial monarch like Tang Wu in this world?

Yan Xing was compared to Shang by Yan Shi and criticized, but this time after listening to it, he did not get angry again, but calmed down and began to reflect on his behavior after Dinghedong.

After a long time, Yan Xing regained his attitude, and Zhengse said:

"Since I entered Hedong, although I have been a little slack off in political affairs because I have gained a foothold in the foundation, I have not made the slightest mistake in important matters: I have exempted the people of Hedong from calculating money, alleviated the suffering of the people, and eliminated the talents of Hedong from entering the government and winning the hearts of scholars. The rewards for meritorious deeds in the following martial arts are clearly distinguished, and no meritorious person is omitted. But this is the fault of drinking for the long night, and I should reflect on it and correct it in the future. ”

Yan Shi looked at Yan Xing with a serious face, and after he finished speaking, he shook his head again.

"Fujun is wrong again!"

"Am I wrong again?"

Yan Xing originally thought that after he seriously reflected on his mistakes, Yan Zhi of Yishi Yichen would be able to soothe his face, but he didn't expect Yan Shi to still say that he was wrong, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly and asked in amazement.

Recalling that since he led his troops into Hedong, Wang Yi begged to surrender, Wei and Fan broke their heads, and the powerful surname trembled, and no one dared to anger him, but today he was accused in front of him in the room.

Presumably now, in Hedong, it is estimated that Master Yan is the only one who can chatter so much in person and accuse him of his fault!

Yan Shi didn't know what Yan Xing was thinking, he began to wrench his fingers, and took care of himself to count the political affairs that Yan Xing had delayed and distrusted the people in Hedong after he became a politician.

"The monarch is the ruler of Hedong, although he gives the favor of the official family, but the upper and lower levels are not connected, the benefits are shared by the strong and powerful, and the county government has repeatedly lost its trust in the people."

"The first case, the government issued a document to implement the counties, exempting the people of Hedong from the mouth money and calculation of the endowment this year. However, this money and calculation are different from the field tax collected after the autumn harvest, although it is calculated in August and September, but the 23 and 120 yuan are collected in months, not just in August and September. ”

"When the county government's document was sent to the counties, some counties had already collected oral money several times, and the amount even far exceeded the number of 23 or 120 yuan. And most of this money has been collected, if it does not enter the county government, it will only fall into the pockets of private individuals, and the benefits will be shared by the Haoqiang, and the people will have a good name, and the difficulties of making a living, have the government ever known? ”

After Yan Xing listened to Master Yan's inquiry, he suddenly chuckled in his heart, and after thinking about it carefully, a cold sweat immediately broke out.

Ordinary farmers and peasant women, men and women weave, self-sufficient, toiling for one year, after the grain and cloth obtained are handed over to the government, the rest can not meet the needs of their own family, in order to pay the oral money, they have to trade grain, cloth, often by profiteers, the powerful take advantage of it, buy at a low price.

However, even so, it is extremely difficult for ordinary peasant families to come up with a year's worth of money for a family of several people at once, so the Lizheng and Qiangfu who collect taxes will be divided into several months, and they will continue to collect money from house to house with the officials who go to the countryside every month, so as to be able to complete the goal of collecting taxes from the county and county by the end of September, so as to meet this standard for the assessment of officials.

In September of this year, Hedong fell into war, and the plan was not completed on time. But by the time Yan Xing's inscription reached the counties, in fact, there were many county temples that had already collected most of the money in the past few months. Ordinary people are only exempted from a small part of the money, and they do not really enjoy the benefits of the county government at all, and those powerful families who can collude with the county temple can profit from it.

From Yan Xing's solemn expression, Master Yan could see that he had also discovered the seriousness of the matter, and he continued to talk about the following matters.

"The second case, although the county government has ordered earlier that except for the first evil surnamed Haoqiang, the rest of the people will not be investigated for the crimes of conformity, but after the county sent those rebellious Haoqiang parents to prison, they did not try the case in time, resulting in the jailers with other intentions, using the torture of the prison to implicate the innocent and extort property, although the conformity is not guilty, but the number of people involved in the rebellion is increasing day by day, and the unjust prison is being proclaimed, and the exploitation is collected, which is diametrically opposed to the previous amnesty decree, isn't this dishonest to the people?"

"The third case, the prince of the government used a large army to crusade against Wei, Fan and others, and declared to the outside world that the court was righteous and justifiable, so why did he ignore the name after entering the county government?"

"The Han family has its own system, 2,000 stone travel, when there is a car to ride the road, the officials to lead, the drum cheering, the history of the entourage, the halberd guard, the knight parallel, the main car, the auxiliary car, the axe car, the drum car and other cars are all available in the house, but the king of the house travels, or ride a horse, with the crowd swaggering through the market, where is the majesty of the Han family, where is the history of the house?"

"The fourth pile, ······"

Every time Master Yan finished speaking, the heart in Yan Xing's chest sank more and more.

Governing a county is far from being as simple as you imagined. He may be a commander of the three armies who dominates the battlefield and looks down on all armies, but he may not be able to be a good guard.

Although I was able to talk to Xu Kun about using the military to rule the people with a smile in the past, in fact, they are fundamentally two different things.

He was born in a frontier land and grew up in a powerful family, and he may have the prophets and insights of later generations, but he can't hide his despicable background in this life, and there is no way to give him much experience in giving politics to the people.

Just like at the beginning of the army, he had to follow the encampment and marching of the kingdom, Yan Xing, who had not even governed a county, ruled a county with soldiers and horses, and at the beginning of his administration, there were too many mistakes and omissions, and what he needed to learn next would never be less.
