It was related to the survival of the people in the two counties, Zhang Shihong did not dare to be sloppy, and immediately came to the county government with Li Mu to see the governor Zhou Daoquan.

The county yamen naturally didn't dare to stop Zhang Shihong, the new county master, so he hurriedly went in to report, and after a while, he said to the two: "My lord, please let you in." ”

When the two entered the courtyard, they saw the guard Shen Chong standing in front of the hall door, carrying a long sword, looking up at the sky, like a wooden clay sculpture, motionless, and did not look at the two of them.

Zhang Shihong was very curious, he didn't know what this person was doing like this, but he didn't dare to ask, lowered his head, and walked towards the hall.

Li Mu knew that this person was collecting purple qi from the east and refining his own cultivation, and there was an invisible aura between heaven and earth that was constantly poured into his body along his nostrils, and there seemed to be an invisible grinding disc in his body, grinding these spiritual qi, hitting into the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, washing himself, the skin of his body was slightly undulating, and his long hair was also shaking slightly.

"This person's exercises are also domineering!"

Li Mu had never seen the supernatural powers of a soldier master, and when he saw Shen Chong's cultivation at this time, he sensed that the qi and blood in this person's body were like a furnace, and the essence and wolf smoke on his head rose to the sky, and he immediately glanced at Shen Chong: "The soldier family is indeed worthy of being one of the nine sects, this kind of exercise, even if it is not as good as my Nine Turns Yuan Gong, but it is not comparable to ordinary exercises." ”

He bought the threshold and came to the hall, where he saw Zhou Daoquan standing with his hands in his hands, with his back to the two of them, as if admiring the banner hanging on the main wall.

The last time Li Mu and others were in the hall, Li Mu saw that a portrait of Menghu was hung on the wall of this hall at some point, and he felt very inappropriate, so he painted himself and painted a picture of the sun hanging high in the sea by the mirror, replacing the picture of Menghu descending the mountain.

Directly above this picture, four big characters are written, "The mirror is hanging", and there is a pair of couplets on both sides, and the Tao is: For the official, he should be as clear as water, and hang the mirror high to distinguish the loyal and traitorous.

These words are used in the face body, silkworm head swallowtail, thick strokes, like King Kong angry eyes, strong men swing their fists, revealing a upright atmosphere, which makes people awe-inspiring at first sight.

At this time, Zhou Daoquan admired this picture and the couplets on both sides.

"Be as clear as water as an official, hang a mirror high to distinguish loyalty and treachery! Good! This painting is good, this painting is even better! This couplet is even better! ”

Zhou Daoquan looked at the calligraphy and painting in front of him, couldn't stop admiring, turned around, and looked at Li Mu: "Muzhi, I heard that this calligraphy and painting and couplet are all your handwriting?" ”

He laughed and said, "If the officials of the imperial court are like what you said, why worry that the world is not peaceful?" ”

Zhou Daoquan stretched out his hand and said: "Come on, come on, sit down!" Ah Biao, look at the tea, look at the tea! ”

The servant next to him hurriedly made tea and brought it over.

The three of them sat down separately, and Zhou Daoquan liked this picture of the mirror hanging high in the sea from the bottom of his heart: "This picture should be hung in the yamen of the world, so that the officials can be alerted and see and hear!" ”

Just kidding, this mirror is a solemn and solemn picture of the rising sun hanging over the sea, and it is the official picture of all dynasties with this as the background, which can naturally arouse the spiritual resonance of Zhou Daoquan.

If you change to other officials, you will also feel that this picture fits the charm of the government, is solemn and solemn, and should be used in the government.

Li Mu said with a smile: "The students just feel that there are many malpractices now, and mediocre people are full of government and opposition, so they made this painting in order to wake up the people of Qinghe, and asked the boss to give more advice." ”

Zhou Daoquan twisted his beard and smiled: "I can't afford to give advice, this painting is enough to print the world and become the banner of the middle hall of every yamen." However, you seem to have shallow pen power, this painting has a good artistic conception, but it is a little less thick and solid, I think it is caused by insufficient skill. ”

Li Mu sighed and said: "The old man's eyes are the same, the students are indeed beginners in painting, and the ideas are there, and the pen power is a lot worse after all." ”

He has studied Western drawing and oil painting in modern society, and has also studied traditional Eastern painting, but they are all superficial and have not studied in depth, and it is during this period of time that he began to study again, but compared with famous artists, both techniques and pen power are much worse.

Zhou Daoquan can see the problems at a glance, which shows that he also has a good appreciation for calligraphy and painting, or Shui, who is one of them.

"Your calligraphy is majestic and upright, contains spirit, strong muscles and bones, it is really extraordinary, I don't know how you are young, how to write such a calligraphy? Without years of practice, pondering all day long, and not being an upright person, it is difficult to write such a stroke. ”

Zhou Daoquan looked at Li Mu with a kind face: "Muzhi, I didn't expect that you are not only proficient in the rule of officials, but also have good attainments in the way of calligraphy and painting. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Students are good at reading, and they don't seek to understand. There are all kinds of knowledge, but none of them are proficient, where can they be worthy of the praise of the boss. ”

He said to Zhou Daoquan: "The students meet the boss today because they want to contribute to the people of Qinghe and Baoming counties. ”

Zhou Daoquan suddenly became interested, straightened up, and said, "Oh? Tell me about it. ”

Li Mu said: "The students have a lot of wealth, there are still a lot of good seeds in the granary at home, and now it is the end of summer and early autumn, it is the cultivation season, and the students are willing to give 100,000 catties of good seeds, lend them to the people of the two counties to cultivate, and then return them to me next year." ”

Zhou Daoquan was overjoyed: "Is this true? ”

He laughed: "The old man is worried about how to save the people, but I didn't expect you to be sleepy and send a pillow!" ”

Zhou Daoquan personally poured a bowl of tea for Li Mu: "Come on, come on, drink tea, drink tea!" ”

He looked at Li Mu with a smile: "Muzhi, you have such good thoughts, I will play the Ming court and ask for a reward for you, this person's identity is naturally stable, that is, you will take the palace test in the future, you will not be able to pass the test, and you will also be given the same Jinshi background." ”

Tongjinshi is like a lady, it's hard to say, it's even worse, but it's also a fame, if it's just Li Mu lending these 100,000 catties of good seeds, it is far from being qualified to reward Tongjinshi, but if you add Li Mu to help govern the place, and there is a policy to calm the people, it will be different.

I only know how to donate money and materials, and I am not sure that I am a great good person in a place, but if I have a meritorious reputation, the ability to govern the place, and perform well, far beyond my peers, then I am a great talent needed by the imperial court.

Although the Great Yin Dynasty attached great importance to the meritorious fame of the imperial examination, the founding ancestor still left his ancestral teachings, and the imperial court should make an exception for the selection and admission of those who are truly capable.

It's just that there are no famous people in the world, and it is really difficult to be admitted and promoted by the imperial court, and it is really difficult to be promoted, and the Great Yin Dynasty has been founded for nearly six hundred years, and there are only a few great talents who have been promoted by the imperial court, and they have risen all the way and become famous in history.

But more of them are people who have never met talents, who have been empty for a lifetime, and it is difficult to reach their ambitions.

Zhou Daoquan actually said that he wanted to ask for the fame of a fellow jinshi for Li Mu, which shows how optimistic he is about Li Mu.

With his words, even if Li Mu does not have the results of the palace examination in the future, he will not be able to gain any fame.

Zhang Shihong next to him looked very envious: "The boss is a little too much for Brother Li!" ”

After the three of them drank a few cups of tea, Zhou Daoquan smiled and said: "I was about to call on all the rich gentry landlords in Yunzhou today to donate food and seeds for the victims of the disaster in the two counties, but it just so happened that the two of you took the initiative to come and do good deeds, just to set an example for them!" ”

Early in the morning, he asked the officials to call the rich gentry landlords of Qinghe County to discuss the disaster relief together, and in the afternoon, these people could arrive, and said to Li Mu at the moment: "Muzhi, you will transport all the grain and put it in the county government compound, so that they can all see it!" ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "Students, let people transport it." ”

Zhang Shihong hurriedly said: "The students are also willing to lend 10,000 catties of good seeds to cultivate for the disaster victims." ”

Zhou Daoquan encouraged: "In this disaster year, I can take out 10,000 catties of food, which shows that Shihong loves the people. ”

Zhang Shihong said happily: "The boss is so kind, the students will never forget it!" ”

Before Li Mu came to the county office, he put 100,000 catties of wheat seeds in several warehouses in the backyard, and after getting his orders, his family had already moved these wheat seeds to the courtyard, and just waited for an order, and then pulled them into the county government.

100,000 catties of wheat sounds quite heavy, but in fact, there are not too many, according to a sack of wheat 160 catties, it is only more than 600 sacks, three rooms can be completely fitted, and there is still room left.

But if it is pulled by a horse-drawn cart, then a cart will pull more than 1,000 catties at most, and it will be loaded too much, not only the cart can not withstand it, but even the pulled livestock will not work very well.

If you want to transport these 100,000 catties of wheat seeds to the county government, you need at least seventy or eighty trucks to complete the transportation.

So today, on the street of Qinghe County, there was a very shocking scene, only to see a number of horse-drawn carriages full of grain, walking out of the Li Mansion in an endless stream, along the street, into the granary compound of the county seat.

"What are Li Guan's people going to do?"

"I heard from my nephew on an errand in the yamen that Li Guanren was kind and wanted to lend 100,000 catties of wheat seeds to the people of the two counties, so that they could cultivate as soon as possible so that they would not starve to death in the coming year."

"100,000 catties? Good fellow, this is the Bodhisattva! ”

"Li Guan's family is very mysterious, and the servants in the family rarely deal with us, all of them have their nostrils facing the sky, and they are very arrogant. I didn't expect that people could lend so much food quietly! ”

"In such a disaster year, on the surface, it is said to be borrowed, but in fact it is no different from giving away. Where is it possible for these victims to return their food to him? If half of him can be returned, it can be regarded as a good weather and a bumper harvest in our area!"

"That's it, he can be regarded as a good person of Li Dashan!"

"Let's go, big guy, take a look!"

"Hurry up, with Li Guanren borrowing grain, there will be hope for our seeds!"

A crowd of people shouted and walked towards the granary.

When they arrived at the gate of the granary, they found that the guards did not stop them, but shouted, "Look at the door, and do not enter!" Dare to enter, kill on the spot! ”

The people trembled, did not dare to enter, and dared to pick up the wall and look inward.

I saw a lot of chairs in the courtyard, and a group of people sat on one side, watching the grain trucks come in, and couldn't help but marvel.

After the unloading of 100,000 catties of wheat seeds,

Zhou Daoquan sat in the middle and glanced at the people at the scene: "Everyone, I, Li Muzhi, a scholar from Qinghe County, took the lead in lending 100,000 catties of good seeds to the victims, only a lot more, which can be called my example for scholars!" I hope that all of you can be like him, contribute to the country and the people! ”

Zhang Shihong, who temporarily acted as the county commander, shouted: "Boss, the lower official's family has little food, and he is willing to lend 10,000 catties of wheat seeds for the people to cultivate!" ”

He is now the county magistrate of Qinghe County, with him at the beginning, next to a few squires, as long as the family has money and food, they are embarrassed not to borrow, at the moment you borrow three hundred, I lend five hundred, there are also five thousand catties lent, there are also borrowed money, noisy, lively.

There is a governor here, no one dares to promise at will, at this time it is not more than usual, usually bragging about how much money has been donated, no one will take it seriously.

Now there is a governor in person, and there is a document recorded in person, and if you say a wrong word, you may be imprisoned, and everyone dare not be careless.

And because the governor personally invited him, this face had to be given, so he had to donate a little bit, but after a move, dozens of people got together and lent more than 80,000 catties of grain and more than 1,000 taels of silver.

Zhou Daoquan's face suddenly became difficult to look at.

Seeing his expression like this, the scene gradually quieted down, and everyone's hearts were like pressing a boulder, and it was difficult to even breathe.

"The old man personally came forward to invite, I just hope that you will lend more money and food to the victims to live, I thought this was a good deed, you should come forward enthusiastically, but I didn't expect that it was the old man's wishful thinking!"

He sighed and looked at Shen Chong beside him: "Shen Guard, what I ordered you to investigate, have you found out?" ”

Shen Chong bowed and said: "My subordinates are fortunate to live up to the trust of the adults, and they have already checked the actions of the rich squires in Qinghe County over the years, and found that none of these people are good. ”

Zhou Daquan nodded: "In that case, don't blame the old man for being ruthless." ”

Shen Chong said: "The adults give them faces, they don't want them, it's really no wonder the boss!" ”

He raised his hand and patted it: "Come in!" ”

I saw a group of people coming out of the backyard of the granary, armed with knives and guns, draped all over their bodies, coming to the courtyard and surrounding everyone.

Then several more patrolmen fell to the ground with iron shackles: "Everyone, do you put it on yourself, or let the villain put it on himself?" ”

ps: There was a power outage today, I. The phone is called, everyone makes do with it, and if it's wrong, it will be revised tomorrow.
