The first volume, Lanling volume 83, was provoked by scholars
There are a few recognized majors in the cultivation world who can't be provoked, and scholars are ranked first, and they are all a family. No matter how big and strong a sect is, it has limitations, but scholars are different, scholars in the world are one family, not a sect is better than a sect, and it is the most unprovoked group of characters.
The two most famous scholars of the Great Shang Dynasty, a Taishi and a Mr. Chu, are both in the realm of the Great Yellow Court, and they both walked from a mortal scholar to the realm of the Great Yellow Court step by step.
Everything is inferior, but reading is high, which is also applicable in the cultivation world, and reading can read the Huang Ting realm, which is terrifying to think about.
This group of seemingly helpless scholars is often the most difficult, and it is even more fatal to calculate.
Wei Ziyang was stunned, more and more servants poured into the second hall, and the officials of each room also appeared, but the dozen or so scholars were not afraid, but faintly showed excitement.
Several officials coerced and lured, and their mouths were worn out, but they did not let the scholars waver, and still insisted that the county lord issue an invoice in court and recall the officials for trial.
In the face of the threat of scholars, Wei Ziyang also had the bearing of Huang Tingzhen, he knew that if he bowed his head like this, how could he have any prestige in the future?
In the end, it was Master Tong who made a big move, and Master Tong found Dean Han of Changkong Academy in this county as a scholar.
The scholars who have achieved Wendan still have a little thin face with each other, Dean Han gave this face, and he came forward to scold the scholars for 'roaring in the court, and there is no county lord' to suppress the arrogance of the scholars.
"We are eager to save the people, and we are reckless for a while, and I will apologize to the county lord in the future. Liu Jia apologized to the county lord of Wei with a fist, but the second half of the sentence changed his words and said: "But my county father and elder are in dire straits for a day, and we and others are not allowed to sleep for a day." Please give the old parents a word of approval, when will we be able to recall those tiger and wolf officials? If it drags on for too long, we and the others will have to go to Fucheng to submit another petition, and please forgive the county lord!"
Wei Ziyang didn't speak with a blushing face, and Inspector Ji opened his mouth first: "The county lord didn't say that he wouldn't recall them! It's just that it's about the tax plan of the big merchant country, and it can't be hasty, and it needs to be considered." As he spoke, he waved his sleeves and said, "You wait to leave the second hall for the time being, and there will be an answer in a while." ”
"Well, well. Liu Jia and the others retreated to the door.
Although the scholars made a big fuss, the yamen did not dare to slack off, and the county lieutenant Ma ordered the officials to lead them to the living room, serve tea and pour water, and accompany them in a low voice. But a scholar is arrogant and tight, drinking tea and eating snacks by himself, and he doesn't take the officials seriously at all.
Wu Daotian looked at this scene in shock, he had never felt so clearly that a scholar was so powerful as he was today! In his previous life, he had lived for hundreds of years, and he could be regarded as a scholar who had read the scriptures and cultivated his mind, and he had also been a scholar for decades, but in the final analysis, he was still a murderous assassin in his bones, and he had not integrated into the group of scholars at all. He didn't expect that Tong Wen, an old scholar, still had such a big face, and he could invite Dean Han of Changkong Academy over.
What's even more terrifying is that even a very dignified official like Gao Mingli is psychologically shorter than those scholars.
"Obviously, our behavior of re-examining the Lingtian Book has touched the interests of some people!" Tong Wen said in a deep voice: "They are not willing to lose the fat in their mouths, so they treat taxation passively. The people in the household were in a hurry, so they resorted to this trick of 'drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle', and forced these scholars to complain, forcing the county to comply, and still collect taxes according to the original Lingtian register!"
"Even if you guess correctly?" Inspector Ji sneered: "Scholars making trouble is very easy to attract the attention of the academies, if they are allowed to sue the Daimyo's Mansion, how will it end up at that time?" After a pause, he looked at the county lord of Wei and said: "The county lord has just come to this county, if he provokes these scholars, I am afraid that he will leave bad thoughts in the heart of the king!"
This said to Wei Ziyang's heart, if there is a big trouble, the academies will definitely intervene, the lord of Sima Mansion is famous for his leniency, and eighty percent of them want to calm things down, and then the monarch will think that he can't even manage a county.
However, rebuilding the Lingtian Book is the first step to control Bacheng County, if you encounter some difficulties and give up halfway, how can you control Bacheng?
Whether to persist or give up, the chairman of Wei County is really difficult to decide, so he has to consult the opinions of the other two officials.
"Your Excellency. "Jiang Xiancheng's position is more embarrassing, before the county lord arrived, he acted as an agent for all the affairs of the county government, but after Wei Ziyang arrived, his responsibility became to assist the county lord, and there was no specific division of labor, and he rarely spoke on weekdays.
Now that the county lord of Wei asked, Jiang Xiancheng had no choice but to speak: "Actually, the pass is still the Lingtian book, as long as you can make concessions in this regard, the scholars will naturally disperse." ”
The county lord of Wei frowned and said, "If we follow Brother Jiang's method, the squire of the big clan will be safe, but can we afford the trust of the king?"
"Isn't it the greatest reward for the king to keep one side safe?" Jiang Xiancheng said in a low voice
"This ......" County Lord Wei understood Jiang Xiancheng's attitude, but he had no choice but to look at County Lieutenant Ma and said, "What does Brother Ma mean?"
Ma County Lieutenant has the lowest status, how dare he mix indiscriminately, and said ambiguously: "My subordinates believe that with the name of an adult, they will definitely be able to come up with a way to get the best of both worlds." ”
Wei Ziyang was completely speechless, and the four officials of the county government, two opposed and one pretended to be stupid, and they did not support their own.
Under the domestic and foreign difficulties, he had to temporarily loosen his mouth, and ordered Zhang Shaobai and others to collect the team and return to the government, the subtext is already very clear, and it will be taxed according to the previous Lingtian book.
It is said that at this point, the scholars have won, and it can be stopped. Who knew that Liu Jia and others refused to give up, shouting the slogan of 'eliminating evil', and resolutely demanded the deposition of evil officials like Zhang Shaobai and Xun Sancai.
What's even more unexpected is that Wu Daotian, who was on duty in the yamen, was also shot while lying down, ranking behind Zhang Shaobai and Xun Sancai. When he heard the news, he was stunned......
"What is your about this Guan adult?" Huang Er had just become a scholar, and as soon as he hugged his thigh, his thigh was facing a crisis, and he was inevitably emotional.
"It should be because of my lord, who caught Qi Xiaotian's son and was hated to death by a group of town mayors. Zuo Banxia calmly analyzed for him: "So adults are not innocent." ”
"Earlier, I saw that Zhang Si and Xun Dian were depressed, and I comforted them. Wu Daotian smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that I didn't escape." ”
"Then, what should I do?" Huang Erzhu asked tightly.
"Actually, it doesn't matter to me, it's useless for them to put my name on it. Wu Daotian said softly: "Anyway, I have also completed the taxation of a town. If he is dismissed because of this, who will be willing to work for the government in the future?" said and shook his head helplessly: "But Zhang Si and Xun Dian will definitely have to bear the black pot." ”
As he was talking, there was a greeting from outside, followed by Tong Wen's voice, "Are you wardens here?"
Wu Daotian smiled slightly, Zuo Banxia and Huang Er and the others withdrew, leaving only Wu Daotian and Tong Wen in the room.
"Virtuous nephew, will Ji An come out?" With Tong Wen's age, it is appropriate to call Wu Daotian a virtuous nephew, but when did the two become so close?
"The villain is now affected by the fish in the pond, and he is still too busy to take care of himself. Wu Daotian got up and poured tea for Tong Wen and said, "I still want to ask Mr. for help." ”
Tong Wen knew that this guy was used to climbing along the pole, took the teacup and said, "Don't worry about this, the county lord will protect you." ”
Dependence is a terrible habit, Wei Ziyang is now 'there is a problem, seek the master', and Tong Wen is 'have difficulties, find Daotian'...... If Wu Daotian can't think of a good way, Master Tong will also have Jiang Lang to do it.
Seeing that Wu Daotian was silent, Mr. Tong said anxiously: "Just say." Rightly or wrongly, it is a sincere heart. ”
"Excuse me, sir, how did things get to this point?" Wu Daotian asked instead of answering.
The old man told the truth. In fact, this time the matter has come to this point, and it is the county lord who has committed a taboo. Tong Wen sighed and said: "For thousands of years, the officials of the prefecture and county have summed up an experience: 'do not offend the squire', the old man repeatedly said with the county lord, but the county lord of Wei is too sharp, and finally caused such a disaster!"
The squire of the big clan has a deep heritage, and he has both hands and eyes, and can be involved with all parties, if he initiates a ruthless attack, the county lord of Wei is not an opponent at all.
Through the case of the Ming family, the county lord was rewarded by the monarch and finally became famous, which made him see the hope of reversing the situation. Tong Wen looked at Wu Daotian and said, "Speaking of which, it's all your kid who is causing trouble." ”
"Do you blame me too?", Wu Daotian said with a wry smile.
