Chapter 489: Being an Official (Second Watch)

Remember [69 Chinese Network] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

Early in the morning, the emperor, surrounded by courtiers, came to the great temple in the mountain, and finally met the rumored monk.

"Amitabha!"

When the monk saw the emperor's honor, it was a Buddha name.

Whether the emperor is like a person or a ghost, the monk did not show the slightest abnormality.

It seems that there is no difference between humans and ghosts.

The emperor was immediately interested, and agreed to stay in the great temple in the mountains for seven days.

Unexpectedly, the senior monk said: "The poor monk Guan His Majesty has a fate with the Buddha, if His Majesty is willing to let go of the dust, the poor monk is willing to shave for His Majesty and accept His Majesty as a closed disciple." ”

"Presumptuous! You, a demon monk, actually bewitched Your Majesty into becoming a monk. Say, who sent you? ”

The courtiers were anxious and angry.

I didn't think that you, a monk, would be such a bald donkey.

The senior monk was unmoved, he only looked at the emperor and observed the emperor's reaction.

The emperor smiled and raised his hand to stop the agitated courtiers.

He asked, "What if I can't let go of the dust and don't want to become a monk?" ”

The monk silently recited two Buddha names and said solemnly: "There will be difficulties!" ”

"How hard?"

"The hardest in the world!"

"I understand that the most difficult thing in the world is life and death. What does the master mean is that if I can't let go of the dust, I will die soon? ”

The monk was silent.

Silence is also a kind of acquiescence.

The courtiers were anxious again, "It's really a demon monk!" Your Majesty quickly followed the old minister down the mountain and went to the Jianzhou Palace. At that time, the Taoist Seeker will pray for His Majesty. This demon monk should be killed! ”

The emperor refused, and even expelled the courtiers from the teahouse, so as not to affect his conversation with the monks.

The courtiers beat their chests and regretted not being at the beginning!

Where is this high monk, it is clearly a demon monk who calamities the country.

What if Your Majesty really moved the idea of letting go of the earthly edge?

Under the eaves, the courtiers were so anxious that their eyebrows burned.

In the tea room, it is quiet.

The monk poured tea for the emperor and made a gesture of please.

The emperor readily agreed, picked up the teacup, and tasted tea in the aroma of tea.

He asked directly, "Dare to ask the master, how much time do I have left?" ”

The senior monk said a Buddha name, "Time is short!" Your Majesty is now in a state of running out of oil and lamps. If you are willing to let go of the dust, spend your days in this mountain with the poor monks, and recite the Dharma every day, there may still be a glimmer of life. ”

Hearing that his time was short, Emperor Taining Xiao Chengyi behaved unprecedentedly freely.

He didn't panic, he wasn't afraid, he didn't panic, he laughed.

"Thank you, Master, for telling the truth, not coaxing. As usual, I want to personally pray for the people who were slaughtered in the capital, and wish them a good life in the next life. ”

The senior monk sighed slightly, "Your Majesty doesn't think about it anymore?" ”

The Emperor shook his head, "Just a joke with the master, yesterday was the first time I looked in the mirror since I left Beijing. Only to find out that I have become a ghost! If it's a ghost, why force it to be human. Whether it's a human being or a ghost, it's all a lifetime. Don't hide it from the master, I'm tired, very tired, very tired! I really can't bear this burden in the world, I don't have that ability. Now, I have only one question left, and I ask the master to tell me the truth. ”

"Your Majesty, excuse me!"

"Am I a lone star? Don't lie. I think the master should be able to see through my life. ”

The monk was silent.

After a long time, the emperor laughed.

"Sure enough! I should have thought that I was a lone star. At the beginning, Wu Aiqing was vague and refused to tell me the truth, and I should have been suspicious at that time. It's a pity that I was too young to see through at that time, and I still had a trace of luck in my heart. I'm a lone star! Hahaha......"

"Your Majesty now let go of the dust, everything is still in time."

The emperor shook his head again and again, "Dare to ask the master, will my children be affected?" ”

The monk sighed and nodded slightly.

The Emperor frowned, "Even if I die and leave them, will they be affected?" ”

The high monk nodded again, "They are His Majesty's bloodline, and they are connected by blood, so they will naturally be affected." Your Majesty is overwhelmed by thousands of blessings, so it is better to let go. ”

The Emperor smiled, then sighed, "I want to let it go, and I've figured out how to let it go. Today, let's start exceeding. Let me feel the power of the Dharma. ”

The monk's face is compassionate, but his eyes are full of regret and pity.

The emperor was calm, "People will die after all, and I am not afraid of death." I am destined to leave a strong mark in the history books, and I have enough in this life. Dare to ask the master, can I reach the Jianzhou Palace? ”

The monk nodded slightly.

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief instantly, "That's good!" I was afraid of dying on the way, and I was not allowed to bury it, like rotten fish and stinky shrimp, smoking people. ”

The monk said the Buddha name again!

……

The emperor walked out of the tearoom, and all the ministers looked over, all of them looking anxious and worried.

The Emperor laughed, "I'm fine! You don't have to worry. ”

When the ministers heard this, they let go of their hanging hearts.

They glared angrily at the monk who then walked out of the tea room.

Demon monk, suffer death!

The emperor said: "Today I will start to spend more time for the slaughtered people in the capital and pray for the blessings of the people in the world!" ”

Only he did not say that he prayed for the Son of Heaven.

For seven days, the emperor lived the life of a monk, with peace of mind and a decision in his heart.

……

Seven days is not a long time, but it is not a short time.

The appointment document of the imperial court, at an expedited speed of 400 miles, was finally delivered to Pingyang County and to Xiao Yi.

The imperial court officially issued an official document appointing Xiao Yi as the county guard.

The rest of the official positions are at the discretion of Xiao Yat.

After getting the appointment paperwork, Xiao Yat was relieved, and the first step was finally out.

The convoy finally entered Binh Duong County.

The county capital of Binh Duong County, a small dilapidated city, is only left with ruins and broken walls.

Only the county guard yamen was cleaned up, barely able to live in people.

Xiao Yat officially assumed the post of county warden of Pingyang County, and the first official document was to appoint Mr. Ji as the county commander.

For this appointment, he and Yan Yunge had already discussed.

There is no county lieutenant in Pingyang County, and the post of county lieutenant is concurrently held by Xiao Yi.

In this way, the military power is firmly in the hands of Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi's private soldiers were transformed into soldiers of Pingyang County.

Those veterans of the Northern Army who are still alive, and those "new soldiers" who have experienced the baptism of war with the convoy to the south, have also become the county soldiers of Pingyang County, under the command of the county lieutenant Xiao Yi.

The guard battalion of Fugui Villa was not included in the county soldiers.

Their identities have always been the guard battalion of Mrs. Yan Yunge, and they are her personal soldiers.

The fifty blank official documents in Yanyun Singer finally came in handy.

For the first time, she appointed Ji Ping and Han Qizong...... The former steward of the villa served as the county magistrate of several counties under Binh Duong County, organizing the population to resume production.

Ji Ping couldn't hide his excitement, solemnly knelt on the ground, and took the appointment document of the county order, as well as the official seal.

Han Qizong was also very excited, but he thought about it more.

"How can the student He De be able to serve as a local county magistrate. Please take back your life and choose another virtuous one. ”

Yan Yunge said solemnly: "Pingyang County is in ruins, you are the virtuous in the eyes of Mrs. Ben. Don't be nervous and afraid, if you can run a rich villa, you will definitely be able to run a county government.

It's the same way of doing business, but the population is more dispersed, unlike in the past, in Nirvana Villa, where everyone gathers in one place. This means that you have to go to the countryside every day to patrol, which is quite hard. ”

"Students are not afraid of hard work, but they are afraid of disappointing Mrs. Gao's high expectations."

"Mrs. Ben has faith in you, and she will do it boldly. Whatever is needed, just come to me. I will fully support you! ”

"Thank you, ma'am!"

As early as last year, when Wuheng entered Gyeonggi, Nirvana began to relocate as a whole.

Ji Ping, together with Han Qizong, took the homeless tenants, and the villagers and craftsmen who were willing to leave Gyeonggi all the way south and settled down in Pingyang County.

Displaced tenants were busy clearing wasteland.

The land in the county is fertile, but it floods every spring and summer.

Ji Ping received the order, recruited people, and built the embankment.

Han Qizong was responsible for organizing the reclamation.

The climate in Pyeongyang County is humid and warm, and the winters are much warmer than those in Gyeonggi. Therefore, it can also be cultivated in winter, and the land is not frozen.

As soon as Ji Ping took over the post of county commander, he was ready to take over the task of building the embankment.

He had to hurry to the county where he worked, organize the population to open up the wasteland for spring ploughing, and dredge the ditches......

He can't lose to Han Qizong, that nerd.

From this day forward, they are both colleagues and competitive concerns.

"Mrs. Qiyu, this is the account book for the construction of the embankment. The small one gave the local people a penny a day, two meals a day, and a settlement, and the local people were extremely enthusiastic, and the young and strong went to the river bank to build a dam. Don't ask for a penny's wages, mainly for two meals. And many women also went to the banks of the river in search of work. The little courage recruited some women to work. ”

Yan Yunge looked through the account books, the construction of the embankment began last winter, and the progress was not bad.

She nodded, very sure of Ji Ping's work, "You did a good job." Women can also work, and it is feasible to recruit them, and they can earn a ration. You and Han Qizong, have you roughly counted how many people are left in Pingyang County? ”

Speaking of population, it's really poignant.

Ji Ping bowed down and said, "Mrs. Qiyu, Pingyang County plus the county government has five counties under its jurisdiction, a total of five cities. The county has a population of less than 50,000. ”

When Yan Yunge heard this, he was devastated.

Even if Binh Duong County is relatively small, it will not have a population of 50,000.

Sure enough, most of the population has fled.

She rubbed her eyebrows, with such a small population, it is difficult to develop Pingyang County!

She asked, "Is there a serious problem in the mountains?" We came all the way, but we didn't encounter mountain bandits. ”

Ji Ping immediately laughed, "Madame and Lord County Guard went all the way south, the soldiers were strong and strong, and the mountain bandits naturally didn't dare to go down the mountain to plunder." However, ordinary business travelers are often plundered by mountain bandits along the way. Xiao He and Mr. Han have been rooted in this place for several months, and they have been robbed by no less than ten mountain bandits. Fortunately, the brothers of the guard battalion were strong enough to keep their property and population from being damaged. ”

Yan Yunge nodded clearly, "Next, Lord County will personally lead troops into the mountains to suppress bandits." From now on, you don't have to bear the burden of banditry. At present, the most important thing is still to clear the land and build the embankment, and at the same time, it is necessary to count the population and recreate the fish scale book. Mrs. Ben hopes that the autumn harvest in a few months will give her a clear picture of the population and land distribution in the county, in each village, in each township. ”

"Little obedience!"

"From today onwards, you don't have to call yourself a small one, just call yourself an official!"

Ji Ping's face was flushed, he was very excited, and shouted at the top of his voice: "The lower official obeys the order!" ”

As soon as the words fell, his eyes began to redden, and he was so excited that he was about to cry.

He turned his back and secretly wiped away his tears, "Little one...... Xia Guan was originally just a Zhuang Ding of a grange under the county lord's mansion, and he was promoted and appointed by his wife because he did not dislike it. Xia Guan thought that it was enough for him to be a big steward by his wife's side in this life.

Unexpectedly, Xia Guan would serve as a parent official and serve as a county magistrate. He De and how can he be a subordinate official, he has no knowledge, and his ability is also ordinary. Mrs. Quan Meng did not give up, so there is today. The lower official swears here that he will not disappoint his wife for the rest of his life! ”

Yan Yunge looked at him with a smile, "If you live up to it, I'll talk about it later." Since you know that you are not knowledgeable, you must work hard to catch up, and you must not slack off for a day. I hope that one day, Mrs. Ben will see the splendid articles written by you herself, a piece of calligraphy that is praised. ”

Ji Ping nodded heavily, "Xia Guan will definitely not live up to Madame's expectations!" The lower official dared to ask his wife to give him a handwritten copy, and the lower official wanted to copy his wife's calligraphy and practice writing. ”

Yan Yunge laughed, "Do you know that Mrs. Ben's handwriting is a silver hook and iron painting, and the power penetrates the back of the paper. You haven't practiced martial arts, your strength is limited, and at most you can only learn a form, not a soul. ”

Ji Ping said excitedly: "Mr. Han often said that Madame's words are the best words he has seen in his life. The lower senses can learn the shape of Mrs. calligraphy, and it has been satisfied! Please Mrs. Fulfillment. ”

Yan Yunge nodded, "Okay! Mrs. Ben has fulfilled you and given you a manuscript of my handwriting, hoping that it will be helpful to you. ”
