Chapter 64: Confrontation

Before and after Liu Qilin, with a warm smile on his face, he first lifted Dong Wei's hands up and praised: "In the name of Dong Jun, I have heard the villagers talk about it on the way.

In the past few months, whether it is to prevent yellow turbans, or spring plowing and autumn harvest, in the absence of the chief officials of the county temple, Dong Jun and the officials have made every effort to assist.

If there is no Dong Jun, and all the gentlemen, how can there be such peace today!

I will be appointed by the DPRK and the Central Committee, but in the future, I will rely on Dong Jun and all the gentlemen! ”

Before Liu Qi arrived, and even Fang Zhen and Li Zhan led their subordinates to Changxi, Dong Wei and others knew about the upcoming young county magistrate in the documents issued by the county government.

Recently, after being transmitted by people in the market, Liu Qiren's benevolence and generosity are also well-known in Donghai County.

Even so, in the face of the upcoming Liu Qi, Dong Wei, who almost single-handedly covered the sky in Yuxian Temple, did not actually put it in his eyes.

He has been serving as the county lieutenant of Changxi for two years, and his roots are quite deep, and he has become a county temple circle.

He didn't pay attention to the former county magistrate, half a year ago, the county government was appointed, and the newly arrived county magistrate was also hollowed out by him, and then resigned in embarrassment.

How could he worry about a young county magistrate like Liu Qi?

But when he saw Liu Qi for the first time, Dong Wei swept the expressions of the officials behind him, and he didn't feel vigilant.

Don't look at Liu Qi's plain words, but what he says and does is very easy to win people's hearts.

This young county magistrate is not simple!

Xu is the cause of the wind and cold in the past two days, Dong Wei said in a hoarse voice: "Lao Xianjun values it, the lower officials and others, there is no need for mediocrity!"

In the future, Yu Chang will be governed, and I will cooperate with the county monarch in terms of duty!

In the city today, a banquet has been prepared for the county monarch, and the local squires should be summoned by Dong, but they will wash the dust for the county monarch! ”

It was for Liu Qi to help him up, and while he was talking, Dong Wei's triangular eyes narrowed slightly, and he acted with one eye and one board, not liking to be in shape, and quite rude.

Liu Qi knew that these people were the most difficult people.

As far as we know, the trouble of bandits in Chang is serious, and the place where the north side meets Taishan County is the famous Chang Feng (also known as Changba) entrenched.

Compared with the bandits in Changfeng and other places, this Dong Wei and others, when they met, showed their momentum, and they were obviously the "bandits" inside the official temple.

It is the heart of the local wealthy clan that is robbed!

Long before he came, as Ma Ji said for him, the longer the county officials took root in Changshu and other counties, the closer they became connected with the local wealthy clans, and it was not uncommon for them to deceive the prefectures and counties, and to oppress the ordinary people and cover the sky with one hand, so he was warned that after taking office, he should act carefully.

Now it's just the first time I see him outside the city, and this Dong Wei wants to suppress him with every word and deed.

If he can't find a way to break the situation, I'm afraid that he will become a local overhead county magistrate.

For example, this banquet, isn't it Dong Wei and others who want to hit his prestige and courage.

However, during the conversation, Liu Qi also saw jealousy in the eyes of Dong Wei and others.

Originally, when he Liu prayed, he did not come empty-handed, but with more than 100 recruiters.

This was also Liu Qi's unforeseen action, and now it seems that it is quite correct.

Tilting his head slightly, he glanced at Fang Zhen, Li Zhan and others, Liu Qi still had a calm smile on his face, and said, "There is Lao Dongjun, as well as colleagues, how can I not go to this banquet?"

The child is junior and goes with me.

Li Jun, thank you for taking care of the villagers.

In addition, this time I came to take office, the villagers accompanied each other, and now I see that there are also bandits who are worried, I plan to leave the villagers behind, in order to help, Dong Jun and Zhujun, I don't know what I want? ”

Dong Wei squinted his eyes and said: "The county gentleman and the villagers, who know the righteousness and work for me to be stable and peaceful, how can we not welcome it?" It's just that the county is shabby, with all kinds of grain and grass, and it was a few months earlier to help the righteous army, and now it is difficult to settle the displaced people, so please forgive the county gentleman......"

Liu Qi didn't seem to hear the meaning of Dong Wei's words, and still with a soft and bright smile unique to young people, he walked in front of Dong Wei politely, and said: "I also know the difficulties in the county!"

However, this year's spring ploughing is at the right time, as long as the ploughing is done properly, there will be a bumper harvest in the autumn.

In order to resist the Yellow Turbans and local bandits, the prefectures and counties recruited troops in the townships, and the taxes were greatly reduced.

In addition, as long as you can fight the bandits, and want to plunder the bandits, you can not only return to the villagers, but also settle the villagers.

Therefore, when the time comes, Dong Jun's worries are not enough to worry about! ”

Liu Qi's aura was very great, and he unconsciously controlled the right to speak, some of the accompanying officials, as well as the squire who came, looked at the figure in front of him, his eyes flickering.

Dong Wei also saw that Liu Qi was not easy to deal with, so he resolutely stopped speaking, so as not to find an opportunity for Liu Qi and rebel against the army.

He also regretted a little in his heart, today's reception banquet was supposed to unite everyone in the county, so as to unanimously deal with the new county magistrate.

However, looking at Liu Qi's behavior, we must not look at it by age, will it be counterproductive?

It's a pity that things have been arranged, and it is difficult to make changes, so we can only take one step at a time.

Guarded by local pavilion guards, the group entered the city.

Seeing the people in the city, how disgusted they were, Liu Qi's heart couldn't help but sink.

Just like many places in the Han Dynasty, the corruption and oppression of local officials and temples have led to the accumulation of public resentment.

Seeing the subtle knowledge, his new appointment is worrying, which shows that the relationship between the government and the people is not good!

Liu Qi shook his head silently, when he first took office, there were colleagues who were secretly competing, and there was the danger of the epidemic, plus the hearts of the people in the county temple were lost, and it was not easy to do things if they wanted to do things.

But if a county can't be swept away, how can it sweep the world in the future?

Arrived at the southeast corner of the official temple, looked at the towering official house, and the pavilion guard standing with a knife at the door, Liu Qi bowed his head, stepped in with Dong Wei and others, and carried out the handover of documents first.

In the evening of the same day, there was a feast in the dining house in the city, and most of the officials came, and most of the local squires came.

It is rare for Dong Wei to "consider" him like this, and Liu Qi just took the opportunity to get acquainted with everyone in person.

When the banquet was about to disperse, he could already call out everyone's name and corresponding identity, and he also had a more objective understanding of Changxi's general forces. And after this banquet, it is much more detailed than asking Fang Zhen and Li Zhan to come to investigate in advance. At the same time, it can be judged that those officials and squires are the core of the county lieutenant Dong Wei.

Officialdom is indispensable for fighting, and Liu Qi has a clear understanding of this and is fully prepared.

The feast is gone, for tomorrow is a rest.

Most of the county officials had their own residences in the county seats, so they did not return to the officials' houses.

Liu Qi had no place to live in the city, and he wanted to get acquainted with the environment, so he went to the officials' house.

As the head of a county, Liu Qineng owns a small courtyard alone, and several villagers such as Xu Case and Huang San live in the spare room of the small courtyard.

Fortunately, when he left in the afternoon, Huang San took the initiative to stay, and then called the villagers to clean up, so that Liu Qi could go in directly to rest after he came back.

Fang Zhen, who brought the county temple to Liu Qi and planned to use it as the main book, was arranged for the county officials in the afternoon, so he could only live in a simple cottage next to it.
