Chapter 185 - Running a Farm
As soon as Liu Zhiyuan's words fell, the two personal soldiers outside the tent opened the tent and saluted Liu Zhiyuan, who was gloomy and angry, and said softly to Liu Chengqian: "Second son, you go down first, let the marshal rest first, and talk about it later." ”
Considering Liu Chengqian's identity, Liu Zhiyuan's two personal soldiers were very kind to Liu Chengqian, but Liu Zhiyuan said in a cold voice with some impatience: "Boom out!" Bang out! ”
The two pro-soldiers had to half-charge and half-support Liu Chengqian out of the account, Liu Chengqian twisted his head and shouted to Liu Zhiyuan: "You are a martial artist, although you have great achievements, but in governing the people, you don't know anything, you have no achievements, what is the benefit of the people, what is the benefit of the people, how can you win the hearts of the people, how can you win the support of the people in the world?" Shame on one side of the duty of moderation. ”
When Liu Zhiyuan heard this, he looked at Liu Chengqian with a gloomy face, laughed instead of being angry, sneered, held back the boiling anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice to the two personal soldiers who were holding Liu Chengqian: "Let go of him, let go of him, and see what this yellow-mouthed boy has to say, how can Lao Tzu be ashamed of his duty to one party?" ”
When the two pro-soldiers heard this, they let go of Liu Chengqian and retreated, Liu Chengqian smoothed the wrinkled placket of his clothes, looked at Liu Zhiyuan, and said fearlessly: "Since your Southern Expeditionary Army returned to Songcheng, although there was no ** captive and indiscriminate killing of innocents, but you look at your group of soldiers, wandering around the streets and markets every day, forcibly levying civil and commercial taxes, forcibly taking and drinking, never giving money, driving out refugees in the city, getting drunk and making trouble, arsoning horses and hurting people, etc., this kind of behavior is different from Shi Weiyi and others. ”
Listening to Liu Chengqian's counts of his army, the more Liu Zhiyuan listened, the more his face turned pale, and he couldn't help but look at the two personal soldiers by the tent, and asked coldly: "Is there really such a thing in the army?" ”
When the two pro-soldiers heard this, they were panicked in their hearts, and they were afraid to answer, Liu Zhiyuan saw it, and couldn't help but snort heavily.
Liu Chengqian ignored Liu Zhiyuan's dark face and continued: "Also, Daddy, since you took office as the envoy of Jiedu, as a parent official in a state, in charge of the affairs of a state, you look at the many refugees in and outside the city of Songzhou, who have no fixed place to live and have no food, have you been properly resettled?" I heard that Dangshan County is now suffering from an insect plague, where the mulberry seedlings in early spring have been eaten up, have you ever sent someone to the disaster? At the end of this month, spring ploughing will begin, have you sent people down to dredge the canals and encourage farmers to open up wasteland? ”
Listening to Liu Chengqian's questioning one by one, Liu Zhiyuan's face was very embarrassed, and he said in a deep voice: "These are the things that those civil officials and county orders should do, this kind of sesame trivial things are all done by Lao Tzu himself, what does Lao Tzu still do with those civil officials, Lao Tzu does these trivial things every day, and he has to be busy all day long, what else is there to do, who will the army let control the drills?" ”
"There is no trivial matter in the people's livelihood, they pay grain and taxes, support your court and army, just ask you to let their affairs go, their harvest this year is not good, their survival is unsustainable, they are too busy to take care of themselves, what surplus grain can be paid to you as taxes and military food, when your government persecuts again, they have to be a refugee, go away, so there are more and more refugees in the Jin Kingdom, and they are repeatedly banned, which is this endless cycle." Liu Chengqian said.
"Lao Tzu wants to manage it, but Lao Tzu has a pair of hands, can he manage it?" After listening to Liu Chengqian's words, Liu Zhiyuan's anger just now subsided a lot, but he still asked rhetorically.
"Actually, Daddy, you don't have to do these things yourself, as long as you grasp the macro direction, know people well, send officials, and implement these things for you, it will be like you commanding the army, strategizing, and winning thousands of miles away."
"Bunch of nonsense, get out, get out." Liu Chengqian said one by one, and Liu Zhiyuan nodded secretly, but he still reprimanded Liu Chengqian without admitting defeat, but he had already lowered a lot of anger and waved his hand again and again to drive him out of the account.
"Daddy, as long as you behave like this in Songzhou, it won't take much time, and then you will be able to make a good achievement for the imperial court, and you will also get a good reputation for the people, you have to weigh it carefully." Before leaving, Liu Chengqian was afraid that Liu Zhiyuan would hesitate, so he gave him another dose of fame and fortune, and then asked: "Then the resettlement of those people in our Hutou Mountain ......"
"Get out, drive him out." Liu Zhiyuan saw that Liu Chengqian was leaving, and he was still verbose, looking a little impatient, and before Liu Chengqian finished speaking, he ordered the two personal soldiers on the side of the tent again and again.
Liu Chengqian was driven out of the tent by Liu Zhiyuan, so he had to take the two soldiers who came with him to wander around the barracks, and soon he walked to the left camp of the Ma Army barracks, and happened to see Li Hongxin and Yuan Jun, drinking under a big tree in front of the barracks, every time he finished speaking, he toasted himself, I don't know if he came to comfort Yuan Jun or to drink.
Seeing this somewhat rude cheap brother-in-law, Liu Chengqian was fine, he didn't want to see him, so he wanted to turn around and leave, but Li Hongxin had already seen him, so he shouted rudely from afar: "Hey, little nephew, come here, come here, come over and have two drinks with your uncle." ”
Liu Chengqian had to walk over slowly and sit down next to Li Hongxin, Yuan Jun was about to stand up and salute, Li Hongxin hurriedly grabbed him and said: "It's all my own family, why bother with that set of false courtesies." Yuan Jun had to sit down again and sit aside.
Seeing Yuan Jun's somewhat sullen appearance, Liu Chengqian couldn't help but ask with a smile knowingly: "General Yuan's brows are deeply locked, is there anything unhappy?" ”
"He was beaten by Shi Hongzhao on the exercise ground today, and he made a fool of himself, so he was not in a good mood, you came to persuade him for your uncle, and my uncle persuaded him just now, and I didn't see him in a better mood." Li Hongxin preemptively said.
You come and go with that set of rough persuasions, neither reasoning nor facts, which one will convince you, Liu Chengqian smiled secretly in his heart.
However, Liu Chengqian still persuaded Yuan Jun: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, why should General Yuan take it to heart, why should he care about other people's opinions, he is depressed, he is still suffering, and you and General Shi are not enemies, just a temporary competition, each other's long and short, let yourself recognize your own shortcomings and shortcomings, learn from the lessons and experience, when you go to the battlefield in the future, you will suffer less damage, but more beneficial, you should be happy and happy, do you say this is the truth?" ”
Yuan Jun originally saw that Liu Chengqian was not very old, and he didn't have anything to say, and when he heard Li Hongxin ask him to persuade himself, he didn't care very much, and he was jealous of his identity, so he just listened to it, and now he listened to his words, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then stood up, bowed, and said with some excitement: "Listening to the words of the second son, like a thin cloud seeing the sky, I will thank the second son for his teachings." ”
Liu Chengqian hurriedly got up and saluted: "General Yuan is too polite, you just haven't figured this out for a while......"
"Haha, I can't imagine that you, a kid, still have such a reason." Li Hongxin stood up, patted Liu Chengqian's shoulder violently, laughed and laughed, and rudely interrupted Liu Chengqian's words.
