Chapter 198: Understood
In this era, there is a clear distinction between the descendants and the descendants.
For example, in the Chengguo Mansion and the Chai family, the names of the children are arranged by generation, and Chai Shirong is the generation, but the children of the concubines can be taken at will, but they can't collide with the children of the concubines, so He Dao guessed that Jiang Long was the son of the concubine, and he would be annoyed by Gunty Buck.
Of course, Jiang Long doesn't value this, so naturally it doesn't matter.
And at present, he is the only man in Jingfu.
Although Yang County Ling is a little unaware of the sky, he learned from He Daokou that he really wants to do something.
And with good intentions.
It's just that I don't understand the world, I can't see through reality, and the method is wrong.
For such a person, Jiang Longdao will not have any bad feelings.
If an official like Yang County Commander is assigned to a stable and safe county seat, he may be able to make a difference.
But is it here......
He Dao said that Yang County Ling wanted to influence the alien races in northern Xinjiang and wanted to make the nearby horse bandits and bandits put down their butcher knives, so he actually sent envoys with food and supplies to contact them, talk to them, and appease them from time to time.
The eldest brother of the murderer of Yang County's order was fickle and literate, and was one of the messengers who was sent.
But after leaving, I was going to a foreign tribe but didn't want to be robbed by a gang of horse bandits.
The horse bandits knew that the team was carrying food, so they found out the news in advance and laid an ambush halfway.
A team of more than 20 people was killed!
It is said that Yang County Ling cried afterwards, but he did not say that he had done wrong.
It's just that a few people lost their lives.
"Although Yang County Ling ......" He Dao pointed to his head, indicating that he was sick, "but he himself is indeed a simple life and kind-hearted!"
I never pay attention to food and clothing, pickles and gruel in winter, and only add vegetarian dishes in spring, summer and autumn.
I don't eat a few meals of meat all year round.
Although most of the clothes are kaftans, there are patches on top of each other, and even the hem of the official uniform has a few sewing places.
If they hear that someone's family has no food, they will also help to fund it, and enforce the law impartially, never accepting bribes. ”
Yang County Ling has been an official in Lingtong County for a few years, and if it weren't for his true kindness, he wouldn't have lived that long.
"At first, everyone still admired Yang County's order, but ......" He Dao let out a long sigh in his mouth.
Jiang Long understood.
Very clear.
If you want to gain a foothold here and get the support of the people, it is useless to be kind and good-hearted.
In fact, it is the same everywhere, only by making a difference, so that the people can get real benefits, you can clearly feel that life has changed greatly, you are full of food and clothing, and there is spare money at home, and the people will really recognize you from the bottom of their hearts.
What's the use of you just being kind and impartial?
Everyone is still hungry and running hard for life.
So slowly, the expectations of the people of Lingtong County for the Yang County Order gradually turned into disappointment.
In addition, there was a great hatred between the people and the horse bandits and the aliens, but Yang County Ling sent people to send food and supplies over one after another.
In the eyes of Yang County, this is probation, and revenge with virtue.
But in the eyes of the very real people, they are the enemy.
Let the horse bandits and aliens eat their stomachs and come back to loot.
The hearts of the people gradually cooled, and when they saw Yang Xianling being attacked, they naturally looked indifferent and would not rush forward to rescue them.
Jiang Long continued to chat with He Dao, and at the same time, he was also asking about the specific situation in the county office.
Talking to He Dao is not having to play with any thoughts at all, if there is anything to ask directly, He Dao must know everything and answer endlessly.
Lingtong County is close to the border, because it is too poor, often not even able to pay money, so no one wants to come here to serve, and the power structure in the county government is incomplete and imperfect.
For example, the scribe of the torture room, the clerk of the workshop, and the clerk of the barracks in the six rooms are not served.
Among them, it is not that no one peeps at the scriveners of the military department, but because of the importance of their duties, they are generally personally promoted and appointed by the incumbent county commanders.
There were a total of 16 servants.
Twenty-two officers on the fast shift.
As for Minzhuang, it is when to use it and when to requisition.
There are often battles and foreign invasions here, and it can be said that almost all the strong men in the city can be recruited.
Except for the third class of officials, there is no other official errand.
is too poor to pay a salary, who wants to work for nothing?
In addition to the county government, there is also a team of fifty people in the city, which is also under the jurisdiction of the county order.
It is the inspection department of Lingtong County.
There is an inspector, and the main responsibility is to guard the city gate on weekdays, and the gatekeeper sergeant who led the way for Jiang Long before is a member of the inspection department.
In addition, it also assists in the quick arrest of thieves, is responsible for exterminating bandits, and arresting smugglers.
"Inspector He was also indirectly killed by Yang County's order, and now the quota is vacant, so no one came to see Lord Jing." He Dao explained.
This is a surprise for Jiang Long.
It is equivalent to just taking office, and he has fifty soldiers under his hands.
As for the position of the inspection, it is natural to assign and promote enough trusted henchmen.
Jiang Long thought about it for a while and decided to promote one of the four Jingfu guards who came with him.
These four guards are very loyal, and have been on the battlefield, so it should be most appropriate for them to command this Liliang.
As for Tudu, Gunty Buck, and Qin Yu, it is better to be by Jiang Long's side at all times.
After chatting for a while, Tudu came back with a strange face.
Jiang Long beckoned.
Tudu stepped forward and whispered a few words in the past.
Jiang Long was stunned when he listened.
Before, I saw Zhou Xi and a few people leaving in a hurry, thinking that they were going to do something, but it turned out that they went home and took off their official clothes to help unload a caravan passing through Lingtong County.
Earn some extra money.
But Zhou Xi is the county leader, the second-in-command of the county, but he makes extra money like this!
It's no wonder that it looks like it's five big and three thick, but it turns out that it is often exercised by doing physical work.
A few people should not have hidden this kind of work from the people around them, so Jiang Long simply asked He Dao and the others directly.
He Dao really understood clearly.
Then explain the reason, the income is low, and he can't support his family, so he naturally has to make extra money.
And there is no place in Lingtong County to fish for oil and water, so you can only help the caravan load and unload the goods.
He Dao also said that if he had free time, he and his brothers in the soap class would also do these things.
As soon as he took office today, he will start working tomorrow, and the county chief secretary and others will slowly explain to Jiang Long the general situation of Lingtong County.
Therefore, Jianglong still does not know how many people and arable land are under his jurisdiction.
But even if the population is small and relatively poor, doing this kind of thing as a county leader still makes Jiang Long speechless for a while.
At the same time, it is also difficult to look up to Zhou Xi and others.
If you are poor, you will find a way to earn it.
And as an official, you have to take the people to earn.
Being a coolie is just a sign of incompetence!
After the backyard of the county government was cleaned, He Dao spoke, "Lord Jing is tired from hurrying, so the small ones will not bother, and they will retire first." ”
Leaving two guards, He Dao left with a group of men.
Jiang Long has very powerful guards around him, and He Dao doesn't have to worry about Jiang Long's personal safety.
The sun was setting in the west, and the red afterglow poured over the earth, and it was red.
A group of several people suddenly came to the gate of the county government in a carriage.
After the soap guard in charge of the door asked about the identities of several people, he entered the door and reported,
After a while, the official turned back and invited a few people in.
Why not, Xiao Fan, and Cheng Ze followed behind Hou Jiang and walked into the backyard of the county government step by step.
Jiang Long waited in the main hall, and when he saw the three of them, he immediately got up and took a few steps forward, "Along the way, the three gentlemen were tired. ”
Cheng Ze smiled lightly, "Back then, we followed the little marquis, what hardships didn't we suffer?" ”
"Yes, that's in the barracks, and I often have to be pulled out by the little marquis to practice." Why not in daxiao, although he is short in stature and not amazing in appearance, but at the moment he is full of pride.
Xiao Fan took a deep breath, recalling the old things of the past, and there were a little tears in the corners of his eyes.
Lift the sleeves and wipe them off gently.
Little Marquis, we are back in the north again!
The three of them looked at each other very tacitly, and their hearts were connected.
Jiang Long sat down and told the three of them some things he knew.
Cheng Ze and the others also told Jiang Long about the news they had heard when they came here in advance.
"Lingtong County is too small to display its talents!" Why don't you be unwilling and sigh lightly.
Xiao Fan also shook his head.
Only Cheng Ze is still holding it steadily, "Dare to ask the little master, what are your plans?" ”
Seeing a bright light flickering in Cheng Ze's eyes, Jiang Long chuckled in his heart, is this testing himself?
"I want to vigorously develop agriculture and turn this place into the granary of northern Xinjiang!"
The voice was resolute, and the ambition was not small, but the three people in front of him were all stunned.
Why not shake your head first, "How can agriculture be developed here?" ”
"Lack of water." Xiao Fan agreed.
"There is no shortage of water!" Jiang Long immediately retorted.
Cheng Ze just had a twist of his mind, "You want to use the water in the Hunhe River?" ”
"Hmm." Jiang Long nodded.
"Then let's not talk about how the water in the Hunhe River is brought out, just say that the cultivated land here is improved and there is food, aren't you afraid that foreign tribes will come to loot?" Cheng Ze continued.
Jiang Long asked rhetorically, "How can you succeed if you are afraid of wolves and tigers?" ”
"You're thinking too simply!" Why not interject, his voice was also instinctively raised, "Lingtong County, like most places in northern Xinjiang, is vast and sparsely populated, and food is really grown, and a brigade of sergeants sent by foreign races is coming, and it is impossible to resist it at all. ”
"Yes, the population of Lingtong County is too small." Xiao Fan frowned.
"That's because you're too poor." Jiang Long laughed softly: "With food, there are naturally people." ”
Among the three, Cheng Ze is the most outstanding, and he has never said that Jiang Long must be wrong, "Then can the little young master explain how to do it?" ”
"Three gentlemen, these little things, why don't you leave them to me."
Jiang Long said: "This is also a test, if you don't even have this ability, I think the three gentlemen will go home directly, right?" ”
"Good!" The three of them already had the intention to take the test to see if Jiang Long had talent and whether he was worthy of assistance.
One glance at each other is a chorus.
"If it's useful, the little young master can directly order it." Cheng Ze added.
They don't have a plan, but they can help.
The three of them followed Jing Xian's side back then, and they had a certain connection in Northern Xinjiang, so Jiang Long naturally would not refuse.
"Lingtong County is too small, so I would like to ask the three gentlemen to use their relationship to ask if there are any food crops suitable for planting in the sandy land of northern Xinjiang."
"Hmm." Why not respond.
"Besides, help take care of some things in the county office, now there are vacancies in the positions of the clerk of the barracks, the clerk of the torture room, and the clerk of the workshop in the sixth room, and the three of them will discuss with each other to fill it."
