Chapter 551: All the county orders are beaten
The weather in the north has always been cooler than in the south, just in autumn, just two autumn rains, the people of the whole Hebei Province, put on heavy single clothes, some are afraid of the cold and wear jackets.
This year's rain is just right, it can be regarded as a smooth wind and rain, and the old men who will be officials, a little polish on the fold, the five grains and six animals are prosperous, and it looks like a remarkable political achievement, of course, they are not afraid to check from above.
On the one hand, it is really not too exaggerated, on the other hand, there are policies and countermeasures, and everyone understands that as long as everyone can get by, no one will really jump up and down to clear their names. After all, there is a lesson from the past. If you dare to make trouble, General Sima doesn't care, but the observation envoy will be the first to kill you.
The county magistrate of Nangang County under the rule of Jizhou City sat in the sedan chair, looking at the golden rice fields outside the sedan chair, the cool breeze, thinking of the hardships and fatigue of the past, and actually had a feeling of tears in his eyes.
Over the years, tens of thousands of taels of silver have been spent, and most of it can finally be recovered this year, and the wind and rain are not blown out after all, as long as he is safe, he can get a lot of "contributions" from the gentry clan and make a lot of money.
The county magistrate helped the old waist who was overused in the hanging gold building last night, and got off the sedan chair with difficulty.
The feeling of being down-to-earth is really good, about doing a lot of certain things, like them, "superiors", always feel that there is something real to rely on, in order to feel at ease.
The county commander got off the sedan chair, but when he raised his feet, he forgot that he had spent too much strength in the battle last night, so that his feet were weak when he walked today
"Be careful, sir!"
"Be on guard! Alert! β
"Bastard! Who is responsible for policing! β
In an instant, the guard of honor was chaotic.
The stunned squires were at first at a loss, and then scrambled to say that they must change the village Lizheng, and by the way, even the armor that had been against them was also changed.
"It's okay, it's okay, this official is just because of that cough!"
"Lord Prefectural Order, merciful! The county magistrate is so diligent and an elder, but because of overwork on official duties, he is patrolling with a sick body today, and I am grateful for the five."
"Yes! We, we are willing to erect a monument for the adults to record the deeds of the adults, and leave them for those who come after them to remember! β
"Huang Gongpei of our county is brilliantly written, realistic travelogue and rigorous and generous, and he thinks that it is indeed a good policy for him to catch a knife."
"Yes, Gongpei is also famous in the county. And that craftsman is a close friend of the next, and has always admired the character of adults, and I think that if I set up a monument for adults to record merits, my old friend who has not been out of the mountain for many years will gladly agree."
As some people spoke, they naturally led the topic to this aspect, and the county magistrate took advantage of the situation and said, "Everyone! Remember not to waste money and people, remember to remember"
"Your Excellency is merciful! We volunteered to do our best for adults, but who knew that adults were still so humble and ashamed. β
"Caring for the people, we are role models!"
"However, such a major event, my county has not had it for 20 years, and I will not let it go when I am lucky. Don't say too much, we are willing to raise money, and if the above is to blame, then we will be asked! β
"How is it that the judge is guilty of thinking about his parents? How could this be the case? β
"Ahem, everyone, it's just a hypothesis, don't argue"
The county commander waved his hand and said: "This county is just doing its best, cultivating every inch of land in Nangang County, you can't say that you must bow down to everything, but you must also do everything, you know everything well, otherwise you will be a parent official in vain, how can you face the saint Longen?" β
As soon as these words came out, the squires did not mention it with emotion.
In the distance, more than a dozen men who were immersed in harvesting stopped their movements, and looked from a distance with a sickle, and a dark-skinned man said angrily: "What trick is that fat pig doing!" β
The person next to him said: "Brother Tang, what's strange, it's just self-praise and making face." β
"Hey! This fat pig has been in office for four years, natural disasters and man-made disasters have continued, and this year is the first rare year, how can he not be happy? If you don't watch it, you will sing a big drama for seven days. β
"It's not that he's dead, it's not that he's singing a big drama"
"That's right. However, this fat pig has been here for so many years, and I heard that he is afraid that his filial piety to Shangguan is more than 100,000 taels of snowflake silver, and this year he will take advantage of this big harvest to make a good profit! β
"These vampires"
"Who called us poor and white mud sticks?"
"If it weren't for the flood that year, many people died in Lao Tzu's family, and the fields would not have been taken away by them!"
"Shh
"Work and work"
When the patrol people were far away, the group did not look up again, as if they were cutting like this, bending over, and moving forward one step at a time.
A troop of cavalry galloped past the edge of the field, and the well-ridden cavalry controlled the horses, and although they were fast, they ran through the path that was not more than half a foot wide, and did not step on a single grain tree.
The county magistrate looked at the smoke and dust from a distance and rolled it over here, his face was gloomy, and he was about to frown and ask questions, but he suddenly saw a flag, which suddenly changed color, and then retreated desperately, jumped into the field and stood still, bowing his head and waiting, extremely respectful.
The squires don't know who has such a big pomp, but the county magistrates are afraid to avoid it, they just don't know who is coming, and where they don't know what to do? reacted, but in an instant, they all stood still on both sides of the road, bowing their heads and not making a sound.
The man who cut the rice raised his head and said, "Hey, the majesty is tight"
"That's how a husband should be."
"When we wear that skin, we can be majestic"
"Phew, your fart, you don't have that life"
Naturally, no one knew about this discussion, which was only between poor mud sticks, and it would not have been recorded in the annals of history like the world-changing words of a few hundred years ago, in which the great man should have been born and he could take his place, and the rulers of later generations should be reminded that when my guard of honor was advancing, the people were not allowed to look up. Those who dare to see it will kill their heads, and those who dare to talk about it after seeing it, they will kill the whole family.
The cavalry, whose armor was covered with dust, could not hide their exhaustion, but their expressions were firm, and when they passed through with great dust at a very fast speed, even the corners of their eyes fell on the people on the side of the road.
The prefectural magistrate sighed in his heart.
"Dead soldier ruffian" fell on the dusty face of the county magistrate and scolded softly.
Helped to the road with difficulty, the county commander took a breath, why did he jump down with a leap just now, but it was so difficult to come up at this time.
"Okay, everyone, the right thing to pass is the Dingzhou elite cavalry of General Guo of my northern army, if I don't guess wrong, it should be the Eagle Cavalry Army, one of the three cavalry armies of the Dingzhou Army, heh, General Liu, the commander of the third battalion of the Eagle Cavalry Army in this county, met in the Jizhou camp last year, and drank a glass of water and wine by luck."
"This time the Dingzhou army came to my Jizhou, there must be something big to do, I wait for civilian officials, don't look at the fight with the military attachΓ©, but we can distinguish the size of the weight, it should be a state affair, so why not let one? When I do this, they will be grateful to me when they think about it. Not for their gratitude. It's not the old saying, the whole world is not the king's land, they are all doing things for Your Majesty, in Hebei Province, isn't it all for the general? β
These words attracted the admiration of all the squires. It's not just the sentence "I drank a glass of water and wine by luck" or the sentence "It's all for the general", which brought great satisfaction to the county commander, and he was complimented at this time, and he was not modest, but he smiled faintly, twisting the already small mouse whiskers, and laughing leisurely, quite a high-ranking person's demeanor.
"Huh? The men stopped. β
"Oh, seems to be pointing this way?"
"Someone's coming."
For a while, it seemed that what the county magistrate said before had been confirmed one by one.
He knows the commander of the third battalion of the Eagle Cavalry - that is the general, although it is only the lowest-level general, their civil officials and military generals are in a stalemate, but the grievances are clear, it can be regarded as a dispute between gentlemen, isn't this side back down, and that side will immediately come over to thank you?
So someone whispered: "Your Majesty General Sima, I admire it very much, how many people in this world can match?" β
"The county order can give up small profits for the great righteousness, and we should follow suit"
"It's true."
The cavalryman who came out alone came slowly, and the county commander was originally a little hesitant, but he became more and more stable, and the person who came was none other than the commander of the third battalion of the Eagle Cavalry Army, Liu Shanchang, who had a relationship with him.
This man was a fierce general of the Northern Army.
Seeing that the other party had been looking at him, the county magistrate became more and more complacent.
He remembers me.
"Who are you?"
"I, uh, this county is the county magistrate of Nangang County, and I was in Ji with the general."
"What are you doing here?"
"This county, uh, general, this county is here to inspect and find out the growth of crops."
"In that case, is he still a good official?"
"Huh? Awards"
"I remember, last year in the camp in Jizhou, I walked with Master Han of Jizhou Thorn Shi, but are you?"
"It's in this county."
"Oh, it's your old man."
The sweat on the forehead of the county commander dried in an instant, and the embarrassment and apprehension caused by the first few sentences of conversation disappeared in an instant. So he straightened his waist and said with a smile: "Yes, it is this county." It's just because the county has a big harvest this year, and the people are rich."
"Smack!" He was answered with a horsewhip.
The county magistrate immediately howled, and the blood fell to the ground along the fat on his face, but the moment the squires were stunned, their faces were covered with blood.
"How dare you!"
Another whip.
"Phew! Dogs, days, and days, Lao Tzu ran two hundred miles in a hurry, and he didn't dare to step on a single crop, you bastards, you bastards, you dare to stand in the crop field."
"How dare a pickled person like you call himself this county, do you know how many people have starved to death in your county? It's a big harvest, it's a lot of wealth, I can't kill you because there is an emergency military situation to report to Lord Assassin."
"Nangang County Order, right? Lao Tzu remembers you! Bah! Selling ass things, I saw that you were unhappy in the camp in Jizhou last year, what a few things, a man sings red makeup, and he flatters Lao Tzu, I can't wait to cut you off at that time."
"Today's two whips are just a lesson, don't let me see you in the future"
Liu Shanchang scolded and scolded the horse, and then the cavalry disappeared at the end of sight like a whirlwind.
The man who was cutting the rice over there sat in the field, watching all this carefully, listening to the terrible screams and angry scolding of the county magistrate, and looked at each other.
Liu Shanchang doesn't understand how men sing red makeup, for what an elegant thing, he only knows that the dead fat man who choked on singing women touched his fingers, and he was disgusted all night.
On this day, a cavalry battalion all made a county order, which was just a trivial matter, and then everything, with a letter from Liu Shanchang, the entire Hebei County fell into an undercurrent.
