Chapter 249: Eccentric Dragon Gate, Eccentric Tang Cheng

"Gan Hongyu is still here for disaster relief", in the official room, Tang Cheng raised his head from the note and said: "Judging from this return, he still acted in accordance with the charter, and he didn't use any means to fabricate charges."

"What is said on the note may not be believed", Yang Jiao shook his head when he heard this, "After all, the people we sent were not listening to Gan Hongyu when he asked, and after the people left, we would ask those villagers, who knows what they said in front of Gan Hongyu?" ”

"It's useless to think about this matter too much, that's all it takes for now, everything will be said after he returns to the city, I always have to meet him before he leaves Longmen", Tang Cheng put down the note, the look on his face was much more relaxed, "As long as he doesn't use selfish means, I can rest assured, I have been distracted by a lot of business for this person in the past two days, so let's put it aside"

"Well, let's discuss it after we come back from going to the state city to find out the details", Yang Jiao has a lot of work in his hands, and he really doesn't have much time to spend here, seeing that he got up and left after seeing that the matter was finished, everyone had already arrived at the door, and suddenly remembered one more thing, so he stood at the door and turned his head and said: "Ming Mansion, Mrs. has personally started to distribute relief food today."

Previously, Zheng Lingyi had been hiding behind the scenes to calculate the number of work reports and food relief, but he didn't think that the day before yesterday and yesterday when the detachment distributed the food, it was not that someone was doing anything with the food, just because the affairs were too trivial, and there were too many people who were too noisy to cause the handler to make a mistake, although the error was not big and found in time, but it also made Zheng Lingyi unable to sit still.

After all, this is the duty that Tang Cheng arranged for him, and the important "sex" of this job was also said that day, so Zheng Lingyi couldn't sit still behind the scenes, and after coming back last night, he discussed with Tang Cheng that she would personally go to the front of the people to preside over the distribution of food, and of course Tang Cheng would not stop it.

Although there were not many restrictions on women's behavior in the Tang Dynasty, there were not many who "appeared" in front of the public as the wife of an official who married a human "woman".

Thinking of the way she looked when she bit her silver teeth in the mirror in the morning to cheer herself up, Tang Cheng couldn't help but smile lightly on his face, "Well, I know about this, what's wrong?" ”

"Not really? Today's food distribution office is much quieter than before, and the food distribution is fast and accurate", Yang Jiao carefully looked at Tang Cheng's face, and after saying this, he saw that he was about to leave, but hesitated, "Mrs. Tang's move today...... Mingfu ......"

"What the hell is Mr. Yang going to say, just say it"

"Ah...... Nothing, nothing", Yang Jiao waved his hand, and the person had already left from the door.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng smiled and shook his head, of course he knew what Yang Fu meant, but he didn't want to discuss anything about this matter, it is normal for a woman to come out and do things in the future life, but it is normal for people in this year to think badly, this is an unbridgeable gap created by the difference in the times, even if it is useless to explain.

Since it doesn't make sense, don't explain it, do what you have to do, and you can't make yourself uncomfortable just for the sake of other people's opinions.

After laughing, Tang Cheng put this little "interlude" aside, lowered his head and concentrated on the business at hand.

Two healthy horses carried Gan Hongyu and his personal servant to gallop in the fields in the countryside of Longmen.

The cold wind blew like a knife on Gan Hongyu's civilian clothes, and also blew away his neatly combed sideburns, and a few of them even drilled out of the brim of his hat and floated on his face with the wind.

But what made the entourage wonder was that his master, who had always been the most well-groomed, turned a blind eye to this today, and his eyes were fixed on the horse, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Gan Hongyu was thinking about Tang Cheng, and if he wanted to say that his current thoughts could only be summed up by the word "chaos". However, this kind of "chaos" comes from contradictions.

This contradiction is almost everywhere, and the land under our feet is the best example.

It wasn't until he really set foot on the land of Longmen that Gan Hongyu knew how heavy the drought in this place was this year, all the way down from the county seat, the crops on the hillside along the way could not see the slightest bit of green, and the barren soil was full of dry cracks and wide fist openings, and the disaster caused by the drought had reached a shocking point.

When he first saw such a scene, Gan Hongyu's heart was really heavy, as a superintendent of the imperial history, he had been to a lot of places, and the people's feelings were also thorough. Historically, there are great risks associated with such disasters.

The people depend on food, and the great natural disasters bring not only the harvest but also the despair of the people, and there is nothing to do in the fields, which constitutes the source of unrest. At this time, the local yamen especially had to be small, once the slightest mistake was disposed of, it was like lighting a fire on a dry pyre, and it could become a prairie fire in an instant, such a thing Gan Hongyu not only witnessed with his own eyes, but also recorded in the history books.

The drought in Longmen County is like this, but according to the news I heard before, the county government of this county is even more conscripted at this time, and natural disasters and man-made disasters are brought together, which makes Gan Hongyu, who is dedicated to serving the imperial court, how not to worry, how not to worry.

However, when the worried Gan Hongyu began to visit the farmers, a situation that he had never encountered before appeared! Far from despairing as he had expected, the people here were full of hope, and their spirits were no less than good in good years. At first, Gan Hongyu thought that this was because the people did not dare to speak ill of the county order, but when he visited dozens of farmers in a row, all of them were like this, he had to admit that this abnormal situation was true.

After the first contradiction appeared, the second followed. In such a catastrophic year, the Ding Zhuang men who set up their families were emptied, leaving only the old and weak "women" and children trapped and guarded, looking for everything that could be eaten in the mountains every day, tree bark, grass roots, and then a little bit of food to support and protect a "life".

The people's lives have been so hard, but the county government has never distributed a grain of relief to these old and weak "women" and children. But here, when Gan Hongyu visited the farmers, these people who couldn't even eat the bark and grass roots didn't have much complaint about Tang Cheng, the county order, and not only that, but there were also many people who praised him while drinking the grassroots soup.

It should be a desperate land but full of hope, but the people who can't eat can not eat are praised by the county order that has not given them a grain of relief, and after a few days of visits, what Gan Hongyu saw and heard in the countryside of Longmen has never encountered in his life, and this situation is even unimaginable.

How so? How is this possible?

The more I interviewed Gan Hongyu, the more confused I became, and it became more and more difficult to grasp Tang Cheng, the subject of this investigation. To be able to appease the people's morale of the people under his rule in such a catastrophic year, Tang Cheng is undoubtedly a capable person, and he has never seen a talent in his nearly seven-year career of supervising imperial history; But even if the people live in such a difficult situation and don't let go of a grain of relief grain, this Tang Cheng is obviously a complete dumb official, and it is not too much to even say a word about the remnants of the people.

One positive and one negative, two completely different sides, and these two sides are so distinct that Gan Hongyu can't tell which side is the real Tang Cheng, is it the capable county order in the mouths of the people, or the dumb official who is the remnants of the people?

This is the question that Gan Hongyu has been thinking about for a long time, and he has been visiting for several days, but as he visits, the more he can't write this piece.

"Eccentric Longmen County, eccentric Tang Cheng", Gan Hongyu, who had been pondering for a long time, muttered to himself and then suddenly flicked his horse's head, and the little guy asked in surprise when he saw this: "Master..."

"Go back," he said as he spoke, and he had already whipped the horse to go back and forth first.

There is no point in visiting any further, and now Gan Hongyu only thinks about one thing in his heart - the ladder field! It was precisely for this thing that he had never heard of that the people of Longmen County would be full of hope, and they would praise Tang Gong while eating bark and grass roots.

Gan Hongyu wanted to see what this was right now, and he hoped to find the answer to his doubts there.

When I went back, it was much faster than when I came, outside Longmen County, after Gan Hongyu asked a few pedestrians, he took the reins of the horse in his hand and went straight to the mountain pass on the right.

Soon he saw everything Asstech had seen the other day, circling back and forth with no end to the caravan of taunting oxen; the busy, windy walkers and scribes in the valley; A farmer who works like an ant on the hillside.

In addition, there was another thing that Ashdechi had never seen, and Gan Hongyu was really shocked when he saw in the valley that the person who distributed the grain turned out to be a beautiful "woman" like a flower.

The distribution of grain relief in the midst of a catastrophe is the most important thing, and how many "chaos" have arisen from this, and it is really child's play that the Longmen County Ya dares to entrust such an important matter to a "woman". With the farmers sent by each team to receive grain, Gan Hongyu moved to the front little by little.

Watching the "woman" distribute the food with his own eyes, from the roll call to the check of the work book, and then to the release of the grain according to the book, Gan Hongyu looked at the two pillars of incense in the crowd for a long time and did not find any mistakes, everything is evidence-based, and the farmer who received the grain did not complain, what is even more incomprehensible is that these Ding Zhuang not only did not speak out because the person who gave them food was a "woman", but his eyes were respectful.

It wasn't until he listened to the whispers in the team that Gan Hongyu knew that this plainly dressed and capable "woman" was actually ...... It was actually the wife of the county commander Tang Cheng.

A county magistrate who can make his wife "show up" on such a "messy" occasion to do such trivial and complicated things will be a dumb official? Gan Hongyu, who came out of the team silently, then went up the hill again, and when he visited the farmers who were constantly busy, the answer to the county magistrate Tang Cheng, these farmers who were staring at the cold wind and working hard was still praised.

Gan Hongyu stood on the hillside and looked at the prototype ladder field of the villagers for a long time, then turned around and went down the hillside, and then went straight to the Longmen County Ya in the city.
