In the same water pavilion, the young and the middle-aged sit facing each other, but this time there are no more plays, and people who are in an irritable mood don't like to hear the babbling that always hovers in their ears.

"Third brother, I really can't save Liu Xun this time?" The young man's face was a little gloomy and he asked.

"What can be done, the evidence is conclusive, the bodies have been searched from his house, can you still say that you don't know? I told him that there are some things that can be done, but the hands and feet must be clean. It's good that he completely took my words as a deaf ear, and that's why he is today! The middle-aged man snorted, also quite dissatisfied.

"We can't think of ideas, we actually let him be taken away, and even the hereditary Guangning Bo has been removed, so won't those poor people in the court and the central government take us more and more seriously?"

"Taking the title is already the lightest punishment, otherwise if we don't even take this step, I'm afraid those people will take the opportunity to make things bigger, and even implicate more people, including you and me!" The middle-aged tone is solemn and authentic.

"They dare!" A fierce glint flashed in the young man's eyes, and he couldn't help but let out a low snort.

"They have been doing it for a long time, over the years, since Emperor Taizong, there have been fewer and fewer foreign wars, and the power of our family that has relied on military exploits has been greatly weakened, do you think they have the courage to take the opportunity to attack us? Now, with the British Duke in front of them, they don't dare to mess around, but once they ...... Who knows what will happen in the future. ”

The young man was bored by what he said for a while, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it with a clatter, and then said: "So we can only back down, and there is no room for even a little turnaround?" ”

"Concessions are only temporary, and we will always figure out how to deal with them." The middle-aged man smiled: "A Liu Xun can't hurt our muscles and bones, so let's buy a lesson." It's just a pity that the Juchun Building, which could have brought us enough expenses, can only be closed now because of this matter. ”

"It's all that Lu Jin, a small county magistrate who is so bold that he dares to do these things in the capital, and I don't know if he has eaten some bear-hearted leopard gall!"

"I don't know if he eats bear heart and leopard gall, but it's clear that he has a backer behind him."

"Backer? Who? The young man was surprised.

"It's the old puppet Hu Hu, the secretary of the ministry. I'm afraid that this time he planned it behind his back, and then he used Lu Jin's small county order to do it. And that Xu Chengzong is too, he actually turned his elbow outward, and actually helped outsiders deal with our own people! ”

"Hu Hu ......" said this name, and the young man snorted resentfully: "One day, I will let that old man know that he is powerful!" ”

"Bear with it first, soon his most glorious time will come, we must not be enemies at this time, otherwise it will be difficult to say." The middle-aged man said, exhaling a breath: "Let the people below take care of Liu Xun's family, he took all the charges this time, and didn't confide in anyone about us, we always have to repay the favor." ”

The young man nodded busily: "Leave this to me, I will definitely do things properly." ”

The middle-aged man smiled: "Next, what we have to do is to keep a low profile and don't cause any more trouble." As for that Lu Jin, let him be beautiful for a while. ”

"How long will it take?" The young man asked with some eagerness.

"It won't be long. Before, we didn't move because we didn't want to clash with those poor acids head-on, but this time, since they took the initiative to make trouble, they couldn't complain about us. Didn't Wang Zhen in the palace always think about using troops against the Tartars? We can cooperate with him, as long as the war starts, these poor sours can only obediently hand over power, and our opportunity has come. ”

The middle-aged said that the spirit of the young man was lifted: "Just do it!" As long as we can make a big enough contribution like we did during the Taizong Dynasty, it will be enough to trample them all under our feet! ”

The middle-aged man smiled and didn't say much. Although he is not in the army, he still understands some truths, and once these two countries meet each other, the result will be extremely unpredictable. But now it is impossible for him to say this to undermine the confidence of his own people, so he can only smile and remain silent for the time being.

Lu Wei didn't know that because of his insistence, the situation of the Korean Chinese military conflict had been raised to a new height, and he only knew that he had been busy recently.

After he fought the dignified Guangning Bodu with a county order and was exiled, his reputation as a county order was completely launched.

Now, the limelight of Lu County's order inside and outside the capital has overshadowed the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and has become the focus of discussion among all the people. As a result, he was called Bao Gong alive, Di Gong was resurrected, and he was a good official who could really make decisions for the people and was willing to redress the grievances of the people.

The prevalence of this statement has made the Daxing County Ya become a crowd. These people who came from all over the capital wanted to see Lu Qingtian's appearance, and some came to him with a piece of paper to complain.

For these people, Lu Zhen naturally couldn't refuse, so he simply set up a rule for the court to try the case and allow ordinary people to enter the yamen to watch. As long as the dispute cases that occurred in his Daxing County administration, he held an open trial, which attracted many people to come and watch.

In fact, at this time, the yamen had to face some simple and clear trivial matters, and Lu Zhen could often distinguish them in a few words. Even if there are some complicated cases, relying on his current reputation as Lu Qingtian, he can forcibly close the case.

So in just half a month, Lu Zhen quickly broke more than 100 large and small cases, which made his image of Qingtian as the master of the people even more upright. Not only the common people praised him, but also the scholars and literati, as well as those who studied in the prison, praised him, and almost regarded him as a model for magistrates.

And under such limelight, the law and order and atmosphere in the capital were suddenly wiped out. Some of the lawlessness that had been curbed because of the thirty decrees made by Lu Zhen before are now completely gone, and everything seems to be so orderly. Although it is not to the extent that the road is not left behind, the night is not closed, but it is almost the same.

In addition to adjudicating cases and controlling the locality, Lu Jin's county order also has a lot of other responsibilities, such as approaching the end of the year, some taxes need to be collected by the local county order, including the taxes and grains that he failed to pay in the previous autumn, which are his responsibilities.

Because the public security in Daxing County has been much better recently, and there are fewer gangsters who make trouble all day long, and the business of ordinary merchants is much easier, so when the county government asks them for taxes again, they are much happier. In just a few days, he completed all the errands that needed to be completed by the end of the year, and he exceeded the task.

As for the storage of food, it does not need to be too hard. Relying on the current reputation of the county order, in a word, those rural farmers took the initiative to send grain to the county government. The people can always repay the rulers with the greatest kindness, and as long as you can really do things for the people, they will never let down the good officials.

Of course, the success of the urging does not mean that Lu Jin's work at hand is light. Just the process of acceptance and registration is enough to keep him busy.

Looking at the various numbers recorded in the ledger in a complicated way, Lu Zhen only felt that his head was more than twice as big. But he is only a liberal arts student, and his knowledge of such a highly specialized subject as accounting is really limited, and he cannot come up with a more effective and quick solution in this regard.

The only improvement was to change the uppercase numbers to Arabic numerals in my own calculations, which also made the final review much faster, and finally bought some time.

Although it was only a small improvement, it had already shocked the scribes below. You must know that there are four or five of them who are responsible for accounting and counting, and then they will be handed over to Lu Xianling. And the county magistrate was actually alone, so he gave feedback in a faster time, and the essence of his technique made everyone sigh.

In this regard, Lu Zhen just smiled and did not explain much, let alone promote the Arabic numerals he used. Because he knew that it would take a long time for a person to absorb something new, and that the promotion of Arabic numerals would only complicate things now, so it would be better to let the scribes calculate it all at a pace they were familiar with.

This time flies, and it seems that in the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed like a white horse. When Lu Zhen finished all the work at hand and handed over all the files to Shuntianfu, it was already the evening of the 25th day of the lunar month.

At this time, there have been several heavy snowfalls in Beijing, and all the snow is white, and only a few plum trees are blooming proudly in the cold.

When he finally relaxed and saw this scene, Lu Jin smiled lightly, this is the second year that he has come to this era. Although he doesn't know if he can change this era of prosperity on the surface, but in fact it is in crisis, he has done everything he can, and he is worthy of it.

Although it is almost impossible for the actions of his small Jingxian county magistrate to be recorded in the history books, so what? It is enough for the people of today to know that there is someone who is willing to do things for them.

After thinking about it a little arrogantly, Lu Zhen felt a little lonely again. I still remember last year's New Year, accompanied by two delicate and lovely people, and the hot pot that day still seemed to be in front of me. But now, although the people in this county government have great respect for themselves, there are fewer people around them who can really be close to.

Thinking of this, he began to miss Chu Yunrong who left a few months ago, and he didn't know what happened to her in the south......
