Although Song Tiande was a wanderer, he lived alone at the end of Xiaguan Village. It was a large courtyard house, and although it was only a single family, there were seven or eight rooms in it, which was large enough for a large number of family members to live alone.

From the outside, the courtyard was a little old, but it was much better than the mud and mud houses of the villagers, apparently built by the imperial court for exiled officials.

There was no human figure in the courtyard, but there was a large locust tree planted outside the courtyard, and I don't know how old it was, and the bark of the tree had begun to turn a little black.

When Song Tiande and Li Ruixiang came to the gate of the courtyard together, Bao Ying was already waiting in front of the door with the two of them. One was an old man from the countryside in a coarse cloth jacket, who was obviously supposed to be the head of Xiaguan Village, and the other was a young man in a blue and gray robe, and he didn't know where it came from.

Yi Huan didn't rush forward to greet her, but stopped when she walked to the big locust tree, looked up at the top of the tree and said, "How old is this locust tree?" Was it planted in the village? ”

"Lord Hui, this old locust tree was planted by Tianming Gong himself in the twelfth year of the Great Pygmy. When Tianming Gong planted this tree, he said that he wanted to use this tree to prove his will. Two years later, Tianming Gong returned to the dynasty to succeed the Ministry of Industry, and then was promoted to prime minister, and never returned to Xingcheng County. ”

Immediately after Yi Huan's questioning, the young man in the long shirt walked behind Yi Huan and talked eloquently, full of confidence and self-satisfaction between his words.

After a few days of making up for it, Yi Ying could roughly understand what the young man was talking about.

'Da Yu' is the name of the era before the three dynasties of the North Yue Kingdom, nearly a hundred years ago, and the Tianming Gong in the mouth of young people is also a famous minister in the history of the North Yue Kingdom. Tianming Gong is best known to the world because he had three ups and downs in the court, and the result of these three ups and downs was that Tianming Gong's official position became bigger and bigger.

It is said that the last time Tianming Gong entered the court was from the Ministry of Works, and finally the official worshiped the prime minister and died in office, so he had to be called Tianming Gong.

Yi Huan recalled the records about Tianming Gong in the history books, but he didn't expect that the last time Tianming Gong entered the dynasty was from Xingcheng County's exile career. It seems that Xingcheng County has a long history as a place of exile, that is, there have been no major changes for more than 100 years. Perhaps there is not only the problem of the ability to know the county, but also the restrictions on the investment of the imperial court.

Yi Huan was a little puzzled about the young man's understanding of this matter, and asked: "...... are you?"

The young man raised his hand towards Yi Ying and said, "Back to my lord, the late birth is Liu Zhong, the head of Xiaguan Village, and the word Xiucheng." ”

Yi Huan didn't expect Liu Xiucheng to be the head of Xiaguan Village, pretending to look at Liu Xiucheng, but Yi Huan's gaze crossed Liu Xiucheng's shoulder, and looked thoughtfully at the old man in the countryside standing beside Bao Ying. At the same time, Li Ruixiang had already walked to the gate of the courtyard and began to bow down and talk to the old man in the countryside.

It must be Song Tiande who can make Li Ruixiang bow down, Yi Huan was a little surprised that Song Tiande's image was comparable to the old decay of Yi Huan, the county magistrate.

After looking at Song Tiande, Yi Huan pretended to nod and said, "Liu Xiucheng? Since you are still famous, how can you be willing to be a village chief? Don't you want to continue your research? ”

"Back to adults, of course, late students have to participate in scientific expeditions. It's just that the position of village chief of Xiaguan Village has always been held by our Liu family, and since the late birth was a middle show, my father handed over the post of village chief to the late student, saying that he would let the late student serve as the village chief before the middle school to be used as an experience. Of course, there is also consideration in case you don't hit. ”

The position of village chief in North Vietnam is completely different from that of modern officialdom.

In modern officialdom, the village chief is already an official in the system, and as long as he is willing to work hard, he naturally has the opportunity to improve. However, in an agrarian society like the North Vietnamese Kingdom, many villages were built in accordance with the construction of some highly respected people. After the establishment of the village, the people who were ordered to establish the village became the de facto village chief, and then the position of village chief became a kind of family inheritance.

Yi Huan thought about it for a moment in her heart, nodded and said: "Very good, since Xiucheng is still planning to conduct scientific research, this county will not call you the village head, but directly call you Xiucheng's nephew." ”

"Xiucheng thank you for your favor, I don't know what the adults command, Xiucheng will definitely die."

Although any official is qualified to call a Xiucai who has not yet been promoted a virtuous nephew, when he suddenly heard Yi Huan's implied encouragement, Liu Xiucheng still bowed deeply with joy.

After all, before Liu Xiucheng became an official, he was destined to be the village chief in Xiaguan Village. Considering that Yi Huan is the magistrate of Xingcheng County, being appreciated by the magistrate of the county is the greatest honor that Liu Xiucheng can think of and get.

"Xiuchengxian nephew, I don't know if you have heard of a proverb, thousand-year-old pine, 10,000-year-old cypress, can't take a break from the locust tree."

Yi Huan didn't say anything about Liu Xiucheng's attachment, and as she spoke, she held the locust tree with excitement and said: "Although we have no chance to listen to the diligent teachings of Tianming Gong, as long as there is this locust tree planted by Tianming Gong himself, we are equivalent to accepting Tianming Gong's ear and face every day." ”

Hearing the rustling of leaves due to the strong wind, the heavens and the earth seemed to respond to Yi Huan's declaration.

Yi Huan was also so excited that his beard stood up and said: "Xiucheng Xian, tomorrow you will have someone to give Tianming Gong a monument under this locust tree, which will clearly state Tianminggong's intention to plant trees and his determination, so that the descendants of Xiaguan Village and the people of the world can encourage him." ”

The last thing that was lacking in ancient times was the theory of ghosts and gods.

Hearing that Yi Huan was going to give Tianming a public monument in Xiaguan Village, Liu Xiucheng said with a happy face: "Late life obeys orders, do you want to ask the imperial court to build an ancestral hall for Tianming Gong in Xiaguan Village?" ”

"Not necessarily! Unless the imperial court personally decrees, you should not build any ancestral hall in Xiaguan Village. Regarding this, Xiu Chengxian's nephew, you have to give the county a good record on the inscription. ”

It is not to set up a monument for yourself, but it is better to set up a monument for yourself, which is the correct way for modern officialdom to promote itself.

Yi Ying almost forgot about Song Tiande and Li Ruixiangcun, and said loudly: "We can admire the thoughts of Tianming Gong, but we should not only worship Tianming Gong's individual. Only when Tianminggong's idea of self-improvement can be truly passed on, this is something worthy of learning and emulating by all future generations. Instead of building an ancestral hall for ignorant villagers to go to Tianming Gong to ask for sons and marriages, do you understand? ”

"The villain understands, should the inscription indicate that this is the word of an adult?"

I don't know whether I really understand or fake it, I really don't understand it or I don't understand it, Liu Xiucheng nodded and asked again.

Yi Huan thought for a while, shook his head again and said, "You don't need to indicate that this is the county, but you can indicate on the stele that this stele was built by the county." ”

Then tell the descendants of the Liu family, as long as they are officials who have repaired this monument, they can also leave a name on the monument. lest this monument inspire one generation, but not many more. As long as you remember to give those successor officials some thoughts from the beginning, Tianming Gong's thoughts can be truly passed on from generation to generation. ”

"Good! Great goodness! This is the real act of great good. As soon as Yi Huan's words fell, Song Tiande cheered loudly.

I'm not afraid that no one will do it, but I'm afraid that it won't be sustainable.

In modern officialdom, Yi Ying understands this truth very well, which is also the main reason why corruption and illegal income are difficult to stop.

Corruption and illegal income may sound ugly, but in order to better corrupt and get more illegal income, it is also an excellent motivation for modern officials to work hard. As long as there are benefits, as long as there are visible benefits, no matter how difficult things are, someone will continue to do them, and the economy can achieve real sustainable development.

What is the meaning of a few people getting rich first, this is the few people getting rich first.

Otherwise, if the rich people are not rich officials, who wants to be an official? Without the power of officials to rely on, who can really get rich?

This is originally the same as breaking the big pot of rice, and it is also the continuous motivation to motivate Yi Ying to seek progress in modern officialdom and North Vietnamese officialdom. Although it is difficult for civilians to understand this, officials are also human beings and have their own emotions and desires, and all officials can see the true value in them.

Therefore, Yi Huan didn't feel strange at all about suddenly being praised by Song Tiande, because this was originally the real purpose of Yi Huan going around in a big circle.
