Chapter 122: The official has found a solution to the two calamities
Because of the banquet in Ningbei yesterday, Wang Tieshan drank a lot, and he went to bed early that night.
After sobering up, Wang Tieshan immediately rode to Nanyang County.
There are some things that the sooner you let the above know, the better!
In this way, it can be used in his favor!
Although Wang Tieshan is the county magistrate of Nanshan County, he is a civil official.
But because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he has been in the army for a while.
So he is different from the general prefectural order, he does not take a carriage anywhere, but rides a horse!
This will greatly reduce the time required to travel!
For example, Nanshan County is more than 100 miles away from Nanyang County, which will take at least two or three days by carriage!
And it's the kind that travels day and night!
And if he rides a horse, it only takes three or five hours!
By the time Wang Tieshan entered Nanyang County, it was already afternoon.
Compared to Nanshan County, it is much more difficult to enter Nanyang County!
The things brought by ordinary people had to be checked by the soldiers to make sure that there were no dangerous things before they could enter Nanyang County.
This is still a relatively ordinary state and county, if it is placed in those rich states and counties, the people still need to pay a certain entrance fee if they want to enter the city!
Although outrageous, the government makes money from these systems.
And there are certain benefits to paying the entrance fee, for example, people who enter the city cannot make trouble, and the government will protect the safety of the people who enter the city!
Also, it can block the displaced refugees who come to beg.
That's right, there are also homeless people in Nanyang County!
And the number is several times more than that of Nanshan County!
Looking at these refugees, Wang Tieshan wanted to say something, but thinking that the people didn't know him, it was not easy for him to speak, so he simply went to the city with suppressed emotions!
Wang Tieshan obviously came to Nanyang County often, and the soldiers just glanced at him and immediately complimented him to let him go.
Although the rank of the county commander is not large, it is definitely not an existence that these soldiers defending the city can offend!
After entering Nanyang County and eating something casually, Wang Tieshan went straight to the county guard's mansion.
"Meet Wang Xianling! Wang County makes the body healthy! ”
"Wang County's order is good! It's only been a few days since I left, and I've come to report the good news to the county guard again! ”
The guards of the county guard also knew Wang Tieshan, and when they saw Wang Tieshan coming on horseback, two guards consciously walked towards him.
One person supported the horse, and the other supported Wang Tieshan.
In this regard, after getting off the horse, Wang Tieshan nodded, and then asked with a cold face:
"How's the old man doing with the county guard?"
The guards also knew that this county magistrate was a facial paralysis, and they were no stranger to Wang Tieshan's black face.
Sighing, one of the guards muttered:
"Hey, the county keeper has been losing his temper these days!"
"What's going on?"
Wang Tieshan frowned.
Although the county guard was very nice to him, that guy was also a stone in a pit, smelly and hard!
If he's angry right now, you'd better go back to him slowly.
For no reason, no one wants to be scolded in vain!
In response, the guard said in an increasingly whispered voice:
"Isn't this still a plague of locusts and famine! Wang County makes you still have some dust on your body, at first glance it is just back from Nanshan County, I believe you have also seen the refugees outside the city gate, hey, just looking at it makes people's scalp tingle! ”
"I didn't dare to go home for the past two days, and I lived in the county guard mansion every day."
Another guard also said in unison:
"Because there was a locust plague and famine in the whole of Henan Province, and many people died of starvation! Not only our county guards, but almost all the county guards of several surrounding counties were scolded by Lord Zhengzhou Thorn Shi! ”
(ps: This article fictionalizes that the state and the county are the same unit, but the places are also divided into large and small, rich and poor, so the state official assassin is one level higher than the county official and county guard, and the unit is still the same.) )
"Hey, if we could, we wouldn't want to see locust plagues and famines! But who would have imagined this natural and man-made disaster! ”
"Who's to say it isn't! The county guard hasn't closed his eyes for a day and a night because of the food collection! ”
The two guards said the reason directly!
This should have been a very sad thing, but for Wang Tieshan, it was a little different!
As for the reason, it is also very simple.
What was the purpose of his visit to the county guard this time?
Just to solve the famine and locust plague in one fell swoop!
This...... Professional counterpart!
"I see."
Wang Tieshan said to the two guards:
"Then the official will go in and have a look."
The corners of the two guards' mouths twitched slightly, and you still didn't listen to a word!
This also goes into seeing......
Aren't you looking for scolding!
But thinking that Wang Xianling was a good official, in case the county guard scolded him indiscriminately, he would resign again......
So the guard gritted his teeth again and said:
"Wang County Order, you listen to the villain, go to an inn to rest for a few days, and wait until the county guard is in a better temper, and then report the situation to the county guard!"
"It's just, it's nothing to wait for a day, at least let the county guard get angry!"
Seeing that the guards cared so much about him, Wang Tieshan finally showed a smile that was more ugly than crying.
Patting the two guards on the shoulder, he whispered:
"That's not going to work! The county guard is the mentor of the official, what should he do if he gets sick? ”
"And to tell you the truth, this official has found a solution to the two calamities!"
……
Guard: "Huh? ”
Another guard: "What? ”
