139 Prejudice in the hearts of men
Hearing this, he hurriedly looked up.
Sure enough, I saw a huge flow of people in the distance of the official road, rushing towards this side.
Those who were already close could see their faces clearly.
Although Daotong didn't know these people, from their clothes, even if he simply said that he could know from seeing so many young people, these people must be those people who were requisitioned to repair the city.
If, under normal circumstances, so many people come back and just solve the problem of his lack of disaster relief labor, it is obviously a good thing.
But the key problem is that these are the people who are repairing the city. Dao Tong knew very well that it must not have been repaired at this time.
And that Yongjiahou is also very strong, and he has clearly said that repairing the city is the most important thing, and it is impossible for him to let people go.
In other words, all these people in front of them have fled back.
With so many people, this time, even Daotong was shocked.
Looking at it like this, could it be a rebellion against officials, that's why so many people came back together, right?
At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the world was undecided, and rebellions should not be too common. Especially in Guangdong, rebellion on land is untenable, and those who can escape from the sea and the South Seas can escape.
However, soon, Daotong came back to his senses and felt that something was wrong.
These people are watched by Yongjiahou. So who is Yongjiahou?
Leading troops to fight is definitely a good hand, and under the southern and northern wars, he has made great achievements before he will be named a hereditary marquis by the emperor.
Not to mention anything else, in Fujian and Guangdong, it was Yongjiahou who led the army to recruit back then. And his strict management of the army, iron-blooded and ruthless, is also very famous.
Even if these people were given weapons and let them rebel under the nose of Yongjiahou, there would definitely be no way to succeed in the rebellion, and it would not take much effort for Yongjiahou to suppress them.
Puzzled, Dao Tong hurriedly greeted him, he wanted to figure out, what was going on?
"Prefectural, dangerous, prefectural dangerous......"
The subordinates behind anxiously reminded, but they couldn't stop shouting. In desperation, they could only keep up.
Seeing so many people rushing over, many people's legs and stomachs trembled.
The accompanying Panyu County Classic History has the responsibility of arresting thieves, and in desperation, he had to take a step ahead of the county, meet the past, and shout boldly: "What are you doing?" Aren't you afraid of the laws of the court if you flee back without permission? ”
The crowd stood still in front of him, and one by one they began to talk nonsense.
"We didn't run back!"
"That's right, that Yongjiahou is so fierce, do we dare to escape back without permission?"
"But no, I don't know how many heads have been dropped?"
“……”
Dian Shi was a little confused when he heard it, didn't he flee back without permission? Then the North City shouldn't have been repaired? The county zun went to Yongjiahou before to let Minzhuang come back first, and he was almost beaten by Yongjiahou, which is not clear that it is impossible to let them come back before the end of the city repair!
Dao Tong had already strode closer, and listening to Minzhuang's gossiping voice, he was suddenly very surprised, so he asked loudly: "What the hell is going on, who will tell clearly?" ”
Daotong has been a county magistrate in Panyu County for many years, and the people know that he is a good official and has prestige.
Therefore, as soon as I heard him speak, even though there were many people behind him, the scene was still quiet.
One of the people Zhuang said to Daotong: "County Zun, what did Yongjiahou ask for a horse, he suspended the repair of the city, let us come back and rescue the disaster first!" ”
"Yes, let's shout together, say thank you for your grace!"
"But no, let's shout so many times, but we don't see where the colt is?"
“……”
Hearing their words, Dao Tong was taken aback, and immediately asked: "Yongjiahou really said that because of the request of the concubine, he let you come back first?" ”
After finishing speaking, in order to avoid hearing clearly, he pointed to the man Zhuang in front of him with his hand and said, "You answer, don't talk to the others!" ”
So, the named Minzhuang replied: "Yes, but we didn't see any horses, we just saw Yongjiahou talking to a few people and let us all go, then we hurried back." ”
After finishing speaking, he asked the doubts in his heart on behalf of the other Minzhuang: "County Zun, did the horse really come to our Guangdong?" ”
Along the way, of course, they also discussed it.
Anyway, they agreed that it was absolutely impossible for Yongjiahou to be so kind, so they found a reason to let them come back.
Dao Tong is here, of course, he knows. Yongjiahou and the political envoy of Guangdong jointly asked the surrounding officials to go to greet him, and today, he just didn't go.
When I heard it at this time, I was stunned at first, and then I was overjoyed: "The horse has indeed come to Guangdong, and he should go to Guangzhou this morning, and he will go to Xiangshan County to serve as the county commander." In this way, it is really thanks to the horses that you were able to go home? ”
As soon as they heard this, these people immediately exploded.
"What, does it really have to be a colt?"
"But don't you see the pomp and circumstance?"
"Could it be that among the few people who talked to Yongjiahou, there were those who were the horses?"
"It's a loss, if you really want to know that it's a colt, you have to see it!"
“……”
At this time, Dao Tong had already figured out that these people were coming back, which was legal and compliant, and he was immediately happy, and hurriedly said loudly: "Hugh is going to speak, which of you are all in the workshop, hurry back and prepare for disaster relief!" ”
When these people heard this, they immediately remembered the situation at home again, and hurriedly dispersed again.
However, many of them are naturally still talking about it.
"Looks like this colt is a good man!"
"No, if you have to go to Xiangshan County to serve as the county commander, then Xiangshan County will be blessed!"
"That's right, who is that, your Xiangshan County magistrate turned out to be a court, it is estimated that you will have a good life in the future!"
"That's right, Yongjiahou has to give face, who are you afraid of in Xiangshan County in the future?"
“……”
Of course, there are some people who don't think so.
"As far as this matter is concerned, whether the colt is a good person or not, it's really not certain!"
"It's so big, if he behaves nonsense in the local area, no one dares to do anything to him, and he doesn't let him come nonsense!"
"What you said is also true, who dares to offend the horse of the dynasty, even the powerful Yongjiahou does not dare. What does he really want, who dares to stop him? ”
“……”
Among these worried people, most of them are the people of Xiangshan County. After all, as long as you are human, you will worry a little more, and you will not think about the good.
Dao Tong here, he doesn't have the heart to care about this colt. Minzhuang came back, he was busy organizing manpower, and it was his top priority to solve all the problems caused by the storm in the county.
This river gap near the official road is the one that affects people's livelihood the most. He was here, overseeing his subordinates, organizing the newly arrived Minzhuang to get busy.
was so busy, I don't know how long it took, a group of people came up on the official road. Among them were two knights on the road, a distance of about a mile, and there was another group of knights, both men and women, and a flatbed cart with several people sitting on it. The clothes and stuff are a bit different from those knights.
Such pedestrians are relatively rare. Those Panyu people who are working will not just bury their heads in work, and soon see this strange combination.
After looking at it, someone suddenly shouted: "Look, is that the person who is with Yongjiahou, could it be the horse?" ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone immediately looked up.
Immediately, there was Minzhuang who came back, and his sharp eyes recognized it, and he immediately shouted in surprise: "That's right, it's the one who talked to Yongjiahou, it must be that donkey, right?" ”
"Did you see it, those few on the flatbed truck, aren't they Zhang San and them who wanted to escape and were arrested, and then were hung up and beaten?"
"That's right, there must be a colt among those people. Didn't the county zun say that the concubine went to Xiangshan County to be the county commander. ”
“……”
As soon as they talked about it, more people stopped working and began to watch the excitement.
This time, the overseer was immediately shocked, and immediately reported to Daotong's side.
At the same time, the people from the county government also went to communicate with the two knights who walked in front, and then they also hurried over and said to Daotong: "The county honor, the concubine and the princess are here!" ”
Dao Tong listened, and looked at the team of centaurs, there was indeed no imaginary pomp and circumstance of those horses and princesses.
So, he hurriedly took his men and hurried over to greet him.
"Xiaguan Panyu County Commander Daotong, I have seen the concubine and the princess!"
Zhang Yifan rode on a horse, looking at this county order that was obviously not from Guangdong, and immediately remembered the ending of his original death in vain, this is a good official.
Thinking so, he smiled and said: "The county order didn't go to Guangzhou to greet him, it turned out that he walked slowly and got here!" ”
"......" Daotong was stunned for a moment, and then, he immediately said seriously and honestly, "Back to the horse, Panyu County has just been affected by the typhoon, although the lower official received an order to welcome the horse, but he really can't leave." ”
At this point, he immediately turned sideways, then pointed to the place where there were many people with his hand and said: "This typhoon, the river swelled so much that it washed away this river, and many fertile fields over there were flooded, and even two villages were partially flooded. The lower officials are so anxious that they can't leave! ”
Zhang Yifan listened, looked up, then nodded and said, "Indeed, the disaster is quite serious. That's okay, you're busy, I have to go too, Xiangshan County is estimated to be not much better! ”
Dao Tong listened, glanced at Zhang Yifan, and then looked at the others, and then he had a rough idea in his heart, so he solemnly saluted Zhang Yifan and said: "The people of Panyu County have thanked the people of Panyu County for their kindness in disaster relief!" ”
When Zhang Yifan heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It was the new governor of Guangzhou Prefecture who stopped me and told me about the situation." If you want to thank him, thank him. ”
With that, he rode away.
Dao Tong was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't ask again, and bowed to say goodbye.
After Zhang Yifan and his party walked away, Daotong's subordinates asked Tongdao with some concern: "County Zun, the concubine took the initiative to mention that you didn't go to greet you, will it be unfavorable to you in the future?" ”
"No!" Dao Tong listened and said with confidence, "Judging from the time, the horse did not accept Yongjiahou at all, and at the request of the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture, he said that Yongjiahou was released back to Minzhuang. And when he speaks, he doesn't feel false, the colt and the princess are indeed good people! ”
"Really?" When his subordinates heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, but some people were worried and said, "Could it be pretended?" ”
"No!" Dao Tong listened, shook his head and explained, "This concubine, don't look at his young age, but he dares to argue with the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, the prime minister and the Taishi can't say that he can't face me, in the face of my mere seven-grade county order, why do you need to pretend!" ”
Zhang Yifan's original deeds, of course, will spread in the officialdom. After all, at that time, he was still a grass people, but he could scare the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who else dared to do that?
Hearing Daotong's introduction, his subordinates were all dumbfounded.
If it weren't for what the county lord they trusted, they really couldn't believe that such a young colt would have such an arrogant past!
…………………………
When it was nearly evening, Zhang Yifan and his entourage finally left Panyu County and were about to arrive in Xiangshan County.
Along the way, Zhang Yifan did see the damage of the typhoon to people's livelihood. Compared with the villages in the north of Guangzhou, the people of Panyu County are obviously more optimistic, men, women, young and young, are busy saving themselves.
In the crowds of various villages, you can also see some people in the county government.
That's the difference between having a good leader or not!
Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Yifan was a little worried about his own Xiangshan County.
The original Xiangshan County Commander died of illness in office, and this Xiangshan County is far away to the sea, that is, closer to Qiongzhou, and no officials are willing to come, so the position of this county magistrate has been vacant.
It is really because it is remote enough for most officials, or for Zhu Yuanzhang, that it will be allocated for Zhang Yifan to toss.
Under the leaderless group of dragons, what will happen to Xiangshan County after this seemingly big typhoon?
Thinking about this, I'm really worried.
But it didn't take long for his worries to be dispelled by other things.
I saw that on the official road ahead, there were at least a few thousand people waiting. After seeing Zhang Yifan and his party, he immediately beat gongs and drums, and the suona was blowing, which was called a lively.
In front of the crowd, there were some people wearing official uniforms, and behind them, they were wearing silk and satin, Zhang Yifan and they knelt down one by one to greet them.
"Greetings to the princess!"
Countless people shouted out together, as neat as one, and when they heard it, they knew that it had been rehearsed in advance.
Zhang Yifan took a closer look, and the person at the head was a fat man with a big belly, judging from his clothes, he was the classic history of Xiangshan County, and he temporarily acted as the agent of Xiangshan County's government affairs.
He should have brought the entire county government, and the group behind him should be the squires of Xiangshan County, and after that, it should be some of the people of Xiangshan County, right?
The welcome was very large-scale and very grand. is still the same sentence, if Zhang Yifan likes this kind of arrangement, then seeing this scene, his heart should be very useful.
However, Zhang Yifan is not that kind of person!
Especially under the typhoon, this classic history is still so popular, Zhang Yifan directly gave this classic history a bad comment in his heart, maybe he is an official who likes to pat on the back.
Thinking so, he drove his horse over, stopped in front of the big fat man, and then condescendedly looked at the big fat man, and asked coldly: "In this typhoon, how is the disaster situation in Xiangshan County?" ”
The big fat man was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this colt to say anything, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked how the disaster was?
After chuckling in his heart, he hurriedly replied respectfully: "Back to the county of Juma, this county has indeed suffered from the typhoon, but under the disaster relief of the lower officials and a group of colleagues, it is almost over!" ”
Speaking of this, after he paused, he hurriedly added: "Xia Guan knows that the county master has come from afar, and he must be very tired, so he didn't dare to let the county be affected, so he dealt with the disaster as soon as possible!" ”
"Oh?" Zhang Yifan listened to it and was a little skeptical, shouldn't this be?
Could it be that I am judging people by their appearance and misunderstanding him?
Hearing that the horse didn't seem to believe much, the county officials behind him, as well as the squires, immediately began to talk about the history of the canon.
"Don Ma County Zun, what the old man said is true!"
"Yes, the old man of the history is really hard these days, he is busy every day, and he says that he can't let the county of the horse be honored and can't rest!"
"The fertile land over there was originally flooded, and it was also repaired quickly thanks to the personal supervision of the old man of the Dian Shi!"
“……”
Zhang Yifan listened to them talking, his eyes scanned, and he found that there was no one who did not praise this classic history.
Puzzled, he looked up, and the ordinary people in the distance, at least in terms of clothing, looked better than the people in Panyu County.
Could it be that although Xiangshan County is an inferior county, when it comes to the lives of ordinary people, it is better than Panyu County, a medium-sized county next door?
This big fat man, compared to the county order of Panyu County, has to do a better job?
Thinking so, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhang San and the others on the flatbed.
He remembered that when Zhang San and the others told him about the situation in Xiangshan County before, they also mentioned that this classic history master was very powerful, and they were all afraid of him.
As for the specific details, when they asked again, Zhang San and they were vague.
At this time, Zhang Yifan found that the expressions of Zhang San and the others were obviously a little uncomfortable.
So, Zhang Yifan turned around and said to the big fat man: "Come all the way, the princess and I are really tired, you let them disperse, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”
When the big fat man heard this, he hurriedly agreed, and asked the squires and the common people to retreat to both sides of the official road, and then gestured with his hand to invite the princess to move forward.
Zhang Yifan was not polite to him, and with prejudices against him, he drove his horse forward, and at the same time began to observe the situation on both sides of the official road.
Not to mention, after entering Xiangshan County, whether it is the farmland on both sides of the official road, or the village not far away, it is impossible to see the disaster after the typhoon.
It seems that we have really recovered from the typhoon!
The sunset stained the western sky red, and the county seat was already approaching.
Zhang Yifan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious in his heart: Could it really be that he was wrong?
Is the prejudice in people's hearts really like a mountain?
