Chapter 472: Sister and Brother Talk
"That's what this official is going to say." Bai Xiaoshan was questioned, but he was not annoyed, but replied: "It's better to have a natural water source, if not, let's get it ourselves." Go back and dig a pond on high ground, store snow in the winter, and divert water for irrigation during the rice planting season.
The official will also find a way to let people dig more deep wells near the fields, so that when the water source is not sufficient, it can also be rescued. Even if you don't grow rice, it doesn't hurt to have a few more water sources. Bai Xiaoshan used the most vernacular to say his intentions.
When the mayor and the village chief heard this, they were very excited.
Although the county lord in front of him is about the same age as his own little grandson, he really cares about the people's livelihood, and he is not comparable to those officials from rich and noble families.
After walking outside for a day, Bai Xiaoshan not only checked the terrain, but also recorded the yield of grain per mu that had been harvested in the village, and the results were naturally not very satisfactory.
Before leaving, Bai Xiaoshan gave another suggestion, teaching the town mayor and village chief how to use leaves to make fertilizer, so that next year's grain income can be increased.
As for the work that goes to all the villagers, it is naturally done by these people.
When Bai Xiaoshan returned to the county office, it was dark, and the little man had already fallen asleep in the carriage.
"There are assassins, protect your lordship!" Suddenly, the carriage stopped urgently, and the attendants shouted loudly.
Bai Xiaoshan fell in the car and hit a big bag on his forehead, but he quickly came to his senses.
Lifting the curtain of the car and looking out, I saw a group of black-clothed people holding big knives, and most of the officials got up.
"The skills of these people look different from the previous groups, you go to help and stay alive." Bai Xiaoshan commanded.
Although Bai Xiaoshan doesn't have much time to learn kung fu, he can only be regarded as three-legged cat kung fu, but he can see the way.
The guards guarding the carriage were transferred by Bai Ling to Bai Xiaoshan, and their kung fu was much better than that of the officials.
The four guards were hesitant, afraid that someone would sneak attack Bai Xiaoshan when they went to fight, but seeing that the officials were beaten and retreated, and some people were injured, they could only rush forward.
As for the secret guard left by Bai Ling for Bai Xiaoshan, he did not appear, and he was only an invisible existence at the critical moment, which was the biggest hole card for Bai Xiaoshan to save his life.
The sound of swords collided, and this place was close to the yamen, and soon the officials on duty rushed out to participate in the battle.
There are also households near the yamen, but when they hear the sound of fighting, they can't hide themselves in the corners, so as not to be implicated, and the bold ones only dare to take a sneak look, and they will never dare to go out.
"Protect you, the men in black will leave it to us." Suddenly, a female voice came, causing the situation on Bai Xiaoshan's side to quickly reverse.
Bai Xiaoshan looked up, and saw that Begonia had rushed into the battle circle with people, and those black-clothed people had already been besieged.
"Second sister." Bai Xiaoshan shouted in surprise, and immediately jumped out of the carriage and ran in the direction of Bai Ling's carriage.
"Protect your son." Bai Ling snorted, and didn't care about the sword light and sword shadow outside, he hurriedly got out of the carriage and ran towards Bai Xiaoshan, but he couldn't help but teach a lesson in his mouth: "It's not big yet, come out at this time, aren't you afraid of dark arrows?" ”
"How did the second sister come over?" Bai Xiaoshan's eyes were shining, and he was not angry when he was trained, and at this moment he was completely like a child who was happy to see his family.
Bai Ling smiled lightly, and pulled Bai Xiaoshan to his carriage, so that he could attack with a secret arrow.
"If I don't come, I don't know what your county master did, and people often come to assassinate you." Bai Ling did not answer Bai Xiaoshan's words, but teased: "It's really capable, only to achieve the position of the county commander, someone began to assassinate, if you become a first-class master, do you have to be on guard at all times?" ”
"Second sister, just laugh at me, who knew that such a small county town could have so many people who want money and don't want to die. But I can't pretend I don't know, and I don't dare to go along with them, but I'm offending people. Bai Xiaoshan shrugged, but he looked at the assassination with an open eye.
"You're just too radical. Everything has to be done step by step, not a one-time solution to the problem, these problems left over from history, need to be solved with wisdom, to learn to hit the right shot. And in the officialdom, you must also master the essence of the snake that you think of as a snake. ”
"This is just a county seat, in the future, you will become a bigger official, and you will have a wider range of contacts, and then you will not have to face some squires, there are officials who are bigger than you, and there are also big families, if they send someone to assassinate you, they will not be these killers who do not enter the stream."
"Moreover, those people don't necessarily use assassination, they may also be framed, and when the time comes, your life will be gone, not to mention, and it may even affect the whole family to be buried together!"
Bai Ling took the opportunity to teach Bai Xiaoshan some truths, no matter whether Bai Xiaoshan was willing or not, he would not be able to go through the intestines to the end when he entered the officialdom.
Pursing his thin lips, Bai Xiaoshan took Bai Ling's words to heart and analyzed them carefully.
Seeing this, Bai Ling didn't bother Bai Xiaoshan, she could only give some advice at most on the way to growth, but she couldn't make any decisions on behalf of Bai Xiaoshan.
There were Begonias over there with people to join, and soon the man in black was hacked or captured, and an assassination came to an end.
Bai Xiaoshan arranged for someone to treat the injured first, and rewarded them with silver to take a temporary leave to recuperate, and the sister and brother went to the backyard of the yamen.
Begonia took people to arrange temporary accommodation, and the housekeeper assisted in assigning rooms and preparing dinner.
The secret guard was guarding in the dark, and Bai Ling told Bai Xiaoshan about the situation in Zixiao City, so that he could be mentally prepared, and Bai Xiaoshan also said what he had done since he came to Ruyi County.
As a parent official, Bai Xiaoshan's approach cannot be said to be wrong, but this is also a good sister to rely on, otherwise I don't know how many times I would have died.
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and the second sister understands the meaning of this sentence." Bai Ling sighed lowly, but he didn't say that Bai Xiaoshan did something wrong.
Parents and officials should work for the well-being of the people, and Bai Xiaoshan is not wrong at all.
But if you offend those squires, if you can't get rid of everyone, you will be in endless trouble.
"On the hill, there is a way that the water is clear, and there are no fish. In terms of right and wrong, the second sister does not require you to do things against your conscience, but you must also understand that there is a truth that any bird can be when the forest is big. As long as these people can behave with their tails between their legs during your tenure, you must learn to relax appropriately.
Being an official and a housekeeper are sometimes the same thing, and there is a saying among the people that it is difficult to be a family man without being deaf or dumb, let alone the way of being an official. Bai Ling said helplessly.
"But being an official doesn't make decisions for the people, so what are you going to do as an official?" Bai Xiaoshan asked puzzled.
"The second sister doesn't want you to be the master of the people, but the premise is to do what you can. The meaning of the phrase "killing chickens and monkeys", you should know, sometimes you don't need to beat everyone to the point where there is no turning over, but let them understand where your bottom line is. ”
"But in everything a big family, even if the head of the family is good, it is difficult to ensure that the people below do not do some dirty things, and there will be some superb relatives who pull tiger skins. Is it because of these people that a family is going to be destroyed? It may be simple to destroy a family, but it will affect the local economic development later, and it will involve people's livelihood issues. ”
"If you take another 10,000 steps back, there will be other people who will get rich in the future, and you can guarantee that you won't do those pickled things? Even if it is a good family, when an official comes over in the future, they will do something against their hearts because of the attitude of the officials, and their original intention is just to protect the family and want to live, can it be said wrong? ”
Seeing that Bai Xiaoshan was ignorant of the world, Bai Ling had to analyze with him, and the sister and brother talked all night long.
