Chapter 51 Yizhou County Ya
Li Ce and the others returned to the camp with a full load, Chen Yaozuo asked about the reason for the incident, and after listening to Li Ce say it from beginning to end, he also laughed heartily, and scolded with a smile: "You, it's really a bad thing, but although the means are not on the table, they are much more clever than using force." As you yourself said, regardless of the white cat or black cat, it is a good cat to catch a mouse, a good boy has yours, if you hone it a little over time, the Great Song Dynasty will have one more star! Haha......"
Chen Yaozuo seemed extremely happy, this was the first time he had laughed so heartily since entering Yizhou. The teacher was in a good mood, and he was happy, and Li Ce was also very happy in his heart, he pretended to be modest and said: "The teacher still teaches well." ”
"Haha, you don't have to rely on me, the old man has been familiar with the books of saints since he was a child, but he doesn't have so much bad water as you, you are self-taught." The master and apprentice looked at each other and laughed.
At this time, it was dinner time, and the two large warehouses of corn that had been seized had been boiled into porridge, and the hungry people were lining up to receive it one by one.
Li Ce was walking around with Chen Yaozuo, and at this time, I don't know who took the lead and shouted: "It's the food that this adult asked for us, everyone has something to eat, everyone kowtows to the adult!" ”
The people are so simple, kowtow seems to be the most common measure in ancient times, but it is also the most able to express true feelings. But in the eyes of Li Ce, a traverser, he was a little frightened, especially when so many people kowtowed to themselves. It happened too suddenly, and after Li Ce couldn't stop it, he even knelt down in a panic and wanted to return it to them, as if only in this way would he feel better. As the saying goes, a man has gold under his knees, and it is natural for him to kneel to the sky and his parents.
After Chen Yaozuo found out that Li Ce was wrong, he hurriedly grabbed him and stopped him from kneeling, he looked at Li Ce with deep meaning and slowly shook his head.
Li Ce seemed to see something from Chen Yaozuo's profound gaze, but he didn't understand it very clearly, he seemed to understand a little......
This is a feudal dynasty, the concept of hierarchy is particularly important, the official is the official, the people are the people, you can't put the cart before the horse, even if you can't bear it.
Chen Yaozuo was obviously used to seeing this kind of scene, and after he came forward to pacify the people for Li Ce, he walked out with Li Ce.
"What? Feel deserved? Chen Yaozuo asked with interest.
Li Ce was still immersed in the shock just now, and he was a little distracted.
"The people are like that, and what do you ask them to say? If you want to be worthy of their wishes, you will do more things for the people in the future, serve as an official, and benefit one party. Chen Yaozuo was already teaching Li Ce the way to be an official, and he found that his disciple was sometimes very smart, and sometimes he was a little sluggish, especially in the knowledge of being an official, he was very lacking. In this way, it is inevitable that you will suffer losses in the future, so it is better to dial it as soon as possible.
Li Ce nodded resolutely, originally he went to Zhang Yuanwai just because he was angry that he was bullying people too much, and wanted to teach him a lesson. Later, after some twists and turns, he easily confiscated his two warehouses of grain, and he didn't feel anything. But now after distributing it to the people, after seeing the reaction of the people, he realized that it didn't matter to him, but it was a matter of life and death for the people who had been hungry for a long time! He looked into the distance, only to see the green mountains in the distance, the fog, the water vapor, since he came to the Great Song Dynasty, maybe he should do something for the people of the Great Song Dynasty......
Yesterday because of the starving people, the large army has been camped outside the city, this morning, the generals have led their subordinates to the river embankment to repair, Li Ce followed Chen Yaozuo to Yizhou County Ya.
The magistrate of the state is the governor of the state, who is in charge of the county orders of the following counties, but some states are relatively small, so they no longer set up the governor, and only set up a county order, which is the case in Yizhou.
This Yizhou county order is Zhang Chucai, it is the eldest brother of Zhang Yuanwai yesterday, think about this Zhang Chucai is really mediocre, the biggest governor of Hebei West Road personally led the army to Yizhou last night, this Zhang Chucai didn't know, and he didn't go to greet and report the work, this is not today, people came to the door by themselves.
The county government of Yizhou is somewhat similar to the county government of Zhending Prefecture, but the scale is more obvious.
When the two of them and their entourage came to the yamen, they found that the gate was closed, had the yamen not been opened? This is already the hour, Li Ce and they have had breakfast, according to the law of the Northern Song Dynasty, this county has to open the door when it is time, and it has been two hours now.
"Go see what's going on." Chen Yaozuo ordered his entourage.
An attendant stepped forward and slapped the door a few times, and waited for a long time, but there was no response.
"Hey, hey, hey! What for, what? At this moment, I heard a voice shouting, and there was a sense of impatience in his tone.
When everyone looked at it, it was two officials, and the official uniforms on their bodies did not know that they had not been washed for a long time, and the square hat on their heads was crooked and buckled on their heads, and they thought they were beggars if they didn't look carefully.
As soon as the two approached, Li Ce felt a smell of alcohol coming, the two must have been drunk last night, and they hadn't washed up this morning, otherwise there would be such a big smell.
When Li Ce saw Chen Yaozuo's gloomy face, he secretly exclaimed, these two officials are going to be unlucky, but looking at the virtue of the two, it is estimated that there are no fewer fish and meat people on weekdays, hey, it's not that I don't report it, the time has not come.
"From a foreign country, huh? Come to do business? One of the officials asked, slanting at the corners of his mouth.
The attendant who knocked on the door earlier was about to talk, but Chen Yaozuo motioned for him to retreat, and the servant quickly bowed his head and retreated.
It's really not long-eyed, Li Ce laughed secretly, looked down at himself and then looked at Chen Yaozuo, does this dress look like a business? It's just a matter of looking at me away, Chen Yaozuo has been in the top position for a long time, and his temperament of not being angry and arrogant is comparable to ordinary business.
"Well, from the capital, why don't you open the yamen at this hour?" Chen Yaozuo suppressed his anger and said with a wooden face.
"Kaiya? Haha...... "A servant seemed to have seen something very funny, and he burst out laughing. The other official also looked at several people with mockery on his face.
"What, what are you laughing at? Are we not right? Li Ce stepped forward and asked.
"What kind of ya, the lord is still sleeping soundly in the Guixiang Courtyard, what is the matter, you go there to find him, haha......" The official said sarcastically.
"Hey, fourth, that little girl was really energetic last night, which made my brother's legs and feet weak now."
"But isn't it, my bones are still crispy, haha......" After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled obscenely. These two people ignored the existence of Chen Yaozuo and others, and talked about the scene of visiting the brothel last night.
