Chapter 34 Asking Jiang Cheng
He led Wen Chou and Chen Ning to the front of the hall, and asked Wen and Chen to go first, and Wen and Chen Xun let them, so humble three times, the three of them climbed the stairs together. The east side is the main position, the west side is the guest position, Jiang Xuan is from the east, and Wen Chou and Chen Ning are from the west.
After completing this set of etiquette for the host to welcome guests into the hall, Wen Chou and the others entered the hall.
In addition to a few seats and a few low cases, there is nothing else in the hall. On the east side of the window, there was an old man with a high crown and a broad belt, who was looking at the slip in his hand in the sun, and when he heard Wen Chou and them come in, he gently put down the bamboo slip and raised his head.
"Done?" As soon as Wen Chou entered the hall and stood still, he heard Jiang Chengdao.
"I didn't go to Gong Jiang's mansion first, and I ask Gong Jiang for forgiveness." Wen Chou arched his hand and smiled.
"Hehe, please take a seat." Jiang Cheng gestured with his hand to Wen Choudao. After Wen Chou took off his shoes, sat on the west seat, and straightened his robe, he looked Wen Chou up and down and then said: "Guanwen Jun is dignified, but he came to the cold house with an orderly body!" I don't know what to learn? ”
"Haha, does Jiang Gong want to make fun of the kid?" Wen Chou also smiled.
"When you come to my house, I have never been far away, and the two are eliminated, and the two are eliminated." Jiang Cheng stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled.
"Thank you Jiang Gong, don't blame the kid for being late!" Wen Chou answered.
"If you are such a humble gentleman, if you don't know, you won't think that you are still a fierce general who dares to go deep into the thief camp!" Jiang Chengguan Wenchou has been in place with good etiquette since he entered the hall, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"It's Jiang Gongmiao who praised, how can a rough boy defile the words of a humble gentleman? It's just trying to restrain yourself and make yourself look like a reader. Wen Chou Gongjin said.
"Hehe, Wenjun, don't be modest, what I said is to the point!" Jiang Cheng shook his hand and said, I look very optimistic about you.
"In this way, the kid has received Jiang Gong's praise in vain." Wen Chou saw Jiang Cheng's complexion, and knew that his initial impression of himself these days was still good, so he said happily.
Jiang Xuan served hot soup and stood behind the Xuanbo banquet with Chen Ning.
Jiang Cheng picked up the wooden coffin, took a sip, moistened his throat, no longer polite with Wen Chou, and said with a straight face: "The gentleman is in a dignified official dress today, and he sees me as a deacon, but is he here for political affairs?" ”
"One is to admire Jiang Gong's high morality, the second is to thank Jiang Gong for what he has done for the villagers in the past few days, and the third is indeed for political affairs." Wen Chou also replied solemnly.
Wen Chou said that Jiang Cheng did things for the villagers, but he started from the Black Mountain thieves, and after the information came, Jiang Cheng gave advice to Du Yi, who was in office, and made outstanding contributions to the success of the thieves.
"Since Jun was recruited by Du Gong in March because of the thief's affairs, he first broke the thief in the peach forest, which is for wisdom; After beheading the thief in the thief camp, he can be called brave; At the same time, the case of Lin Qing's collaboration with the enemy can be described as courageous, because it is important for the country, and he has an order, and then he visits everyone in the township, and the people are called good and benevolent. Zi said: 'The benevolent must have courage, and the brave do not have to be benevolent'. "Poetry" cloud: 'Show the gentleman, don't make virtue'. The former dynasty Fuwen master Yang Xiong also said in "Xie Dynasty": "Fu Xiao rules Cao Sui, stay Hou to draw strategies, Chen Ping is amazing, the merit is better than Mount Tai, and the sound is like a di, although the courage and wisdom of his people are great, they will also be able to do it at the right time." "You can be described as a benevolent and brave gentleman, a brave man. And at this time, the troubled times are coming, and it can be said that it is time! I don't know how you feel? I'd like to smell it. Jiang Chengfu said long.
"The kid is stupid, how dare he compare with the former saint, but it hurts me." When Wen Chou heard that Jiang Cheng was compared with Xiao He, Han Xin, Cao Shen, and Chen Ping, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and hurriedly bowed to him.
"Hehe, Wen Jun doesn't have to be like this, the reason why the former saint is holy is actually just for the people of the later generations, and he is also a mortal, just at the right time! In this way, you should not be presumptuous! Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
"Xie Jianggong mentioned." Wen Chou frowned and groaned. After a while, seeing that Jiang Cheng did not mean to continue speaking, it seemed that he was waiting for him to talk about the current situation in the world, and said: "In today's world, the saint sells the lord and sells the official in the West Garden, the eunuch is in charge, and there are constant wars on the frontier, the country is getting weaker and weaker, and because of the drought in the country for many years, the grain is not collected, and the tax is not reduced, and the thieves are gradually rising, it is for the yellow turban, although it is now in ashes, but there are still people who hold its banner in many places, so that in order to exterminate the thieves, all over the country have supported the army and respected themselves!" It's for the sake of disaster, for fear that chaos will soon come! ”
Wen Chou looked at Jiang Cheng's face reaction as he spoke, and saw that his face was gloomy when he heard that "taxes are not reduced, and thieves are gradually rising". I was also deeply touched, and when I heard "chaos is coming soon", my face was already very surprised. He didn't expect Wen Chou to be able to see the problem so thoroughly!
"It's very true, but it has a lot in common with what I've been thinking about for many days!" Jiang Cheng nodded with deep feeling. "But this is the general trend, and it is not something that we and other small people should worry about, but you say, how do you want to govern the township?" When Jiang Cheng said this, his face was even more gloomy. Jiang Xuan, who was standing behind him, was also distracted. Wen Chou looked at these things one by one, and determined another point for the celebrity who was incognito!
"Hehe, this kid came to ask Jiang Gong, why did Jiang Gong ask the kid?" Wen Chou smiled, breaking the somewhat gloomy atmosphere for a while.
"Alas, it's my fault, old, old." Jiang Cheng slapped his forehead and said when he heard this. But Jiang Cheng had too much recognition with Wen Chou's previous words, and he didn't change his role for a while, so he still asked Wen Chou.
"Please also ask Jiang Gong to teach!" Wen Chou Gong Jin said.
Jiang Cheng saw that Wen Chou was respectful and did not hide his selfishness, and said bluntly: "In the past, when Du Jun was here, he was lenient and benevolent, did not disturb the people, and the people were happy. You can follow his example. ”
"Yes." Wen Chou replied.
"But there are a few points, Du Jun didn't do well." Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment and continued.
Wen Chou put on an open face to ask for advice and asked, "Where is the consultation?" ”
"For example, some time ago, when the people heard that the thieves were coming, they were extremely panicked, and many families had fled, which was a phenomenon that failed to give the people of Qianshou a safe environment! This is one of them. Jiang Chengshi Shi Ran said.
"Prepare for the people, in order to reassure their hearts! But this must not be armed every day, it is contrary to the country's political actions! What should I do? Wen Scandal asked. There is a saying in the law that the village should not be armed all year round, in order to prevent it from disturbing the civil affairs, after all, the people take food as the sky! Farming is the foundation of the country!
"I have heard that there is a soldier left behind in Taolinsai, in the south of Hongxiang! It was abandoned until the time of the first emperor of this dynasty, so why not ask for orders in the country and re-establish its system? Jiang Chengyan said.
"Reset the Taolin Fortress Department to prevent the Black Mountain Army from being robbed!" Jiang Cheng said it so clearly, Wen Chou didn't know how to do it in vain, so he said excitedly. If this happens, then he Wenchou will have his first army! At that time, Ding Zhuang can be selected from among the villagers and trained at four o'clock a year, which is definitely a strong army far superior to the militia that was hastily gathered a few days ago!
"There are many poor people in the village, and although they have recently received some rewards to relieve their poverty, it is not a long-term solution. In addition, there are many homeless people who need to be appeased, so as to think about the way to wealth and enrich the villagers. This is the second one. Jiang Cheng looked at Wen Chou's slightly excited face and said.
Wen scandal said, thinking: "Hide the wealth from the people, in order to gather their ambitions!" If the villagers are rich, their sense of identity will inevitably be strengthened, and they will be more urgent to protect their homes! But how? ”
"This makes the villagers rich, can Du Gong have a good plan?" Wen Chou leaned forward and asked urgently.
"The policy of enriching the people depends on the person in charge!" Jiang Chengxiao said meaningfully.
Wen Chou was puzzled, and when he asked again, Jiang Chengduo avoided answering and had no choice but to give up.
"There are already two, is there anything else, Jiang Gong?" Wen Chou left the matter of enriching the people and asked again.
"There are some big surnames in the township, and there are many people who take advantage of the chaos to annex the fields and oppress the people, which is a harm! Suppress it. This is the third one. Jiang Cheng spoke for a long time, his throat was uncomfortable, he coughed twice, took a sip of water from the wooden bowl, moistened his throat and said: "The customs of the hometown are kind, the villagers are simple, and the people are easy to govern, but some big surnames are not easy to govern." Although Du Jun does not disturb the people, he is too tolerant of certain surnames and indulgent, which is insufficient. Now the monarch takes over the township rank, if you want to make a difference, you can start from these three places. ......, you ask me how to govern, and that's all I know. "PS: Ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
