It can be said that the entire county of Yoll can have what it is today, and Zhang Zheng, the county guard, is very important.

Now the court is about to transfer this good county guard who has single-handedly created such a situation with a letter of order, and such bad news is unacceptable to the entire county of Yore for a while.

In this regard, Zhang Zheng looked at it very freely.

Instead, he comforted them by saying:

"There is no feast in the world, and the situation that Yoll County can have today is not only the credit of the official alone, but also the result of the joint efforts of the whole county.

Even though the official is about to leave, the official believes that after the official leaves, the county of Yoll will be better and better. ”

"But without you, is it still Yorshire?"

"Without anyone, the county of Joll would still be the county of Jor.

This official is promoted this time, go to the capital!

You're not going to stop your official from being promoted, are you?

People say that blocking people's future is like killing their parents? Hehe......"

The crowd was silent.

Yes, Lord Taishou is elevated, which is a good thing.

How could they block the future of Lord Taishou because of their own selfishness?

After following Zhang Taishou for so long, they know Zhang Taishou's ambitions better than anyone else, and if they want to realize Zhang Taishou's ambitions, they must ascend to a higher official position.

That's a good thing, a good thing!

In the evening, the day's work of the county guard yamen ended, and the entire yamen except for the guards who kept vigil left the yamen one after another.

The sunset at dusk shone into the Yamen compound through the cracks, leaving a golden light and shadow on the ground.

Zhang Zheng walked out of the public house slowly, came to the courtyard, and looked up at the sun gradually setting in the west.

He looked down at everything that was familiar around him.

It's been three years since he came here.

In three years, he built the county of York into what it is today, and it was here that he first fulfilled his ambitions when he graduated.

And he has a lot of governance experience here.

Walking forward, we came to the courtyard under the banyan tree, where there was a stone platform and several stone benches.

Whenever the weather is the hottest in summer, he likes to pull his subordinates under this tree, ride the shade, make tea and chat about work.

Everything seems to be just yesterday, and the scenes are emerging in front of my eyes.

"Taishou!"

A call called to bring back to his senses the long government who was reminiscing.

Following the voice, it turned out to be the guard Lao Huang who stayed behind.

Lao Huang is very old, more than sixty years old, and in other families, this is already the age of retirement.

But Lao Huang's family is the only one, he fled from the Guannei, and his family died on the road, so he was the only one left.

is also old, and he can't plant the land allocated to him by the yamen, so Zhang Zheng simply let him enter the yamen and become a guard left behind.

At night, the public office is on duty, as long as it patrols regularly, the work is easy, and the monthly salary of two taels a month is enough for Lao Huang to support himself.

Seeing Zhang Zheng look at it, Lao Huang immediately showed a smile, grinning with big yellow teeth and smiling very happily.

took two steps forward, took a gourd from his waist, handed it over, and said with a smile:

"Lord Taishou, why haven't you left yet?"

Zhang Zheng skillfully took the gourd, and after inviting Lao Huang to sit down on the stone bench, he naturally took a sip, then looked around and sighed, and said with emotion:

"In two days, I'm leaving for Bianjing.

I don't usually think about this, but somehow, I suddenly feel a little reluctant to be here. ”

As he spoke, he handed back the wine gourd in his hand.

Lao Huang took the wine gourd and took a sip of it, looked at the scene in front of him, enjoyed the warm feeling of the afterglow of the sunset on his face, and said with a smile:

"If you don't want to, then don't leave, this Yoll County was raised by you as an adult, and you are like our parents in Yor County, where are there parents who can let go of their children."

Zhang Zheng shook his head firmly: "You have to go!" ”

His eyes were full of perseverance, Zhang Zheng looked at the sunset in the sky and said in a firm tone:

"On the day I graduated from the political hall, I made up my mind that one day I would stand in the center of the court hall and seek the well-being of all the people in the world.

Lao Huang, you don't know, our Zhang family was originally a wealthy family in his hometown, although the family is not rich and expensive, but they don't have to worry about eating and drinking.

But the exploitation of officials and the advent of natural disasters ruined everything.

I fled with my family to Yunzhou County, and I saw too much along the way, the uneven land, the exploitation of officials, the presumptuousness of the wealthy family, and the rampant banditry!

All this is making the Great Song Dynasty sink step by step!

It is like a towering tree, with lush branches on the surface, but at the root of the tree, it has been quietly eaten by countless termites.

These termites gnaw off the roots of this leafy tree one by one, and one day when all the roots are eaten up, the tree will fall down!

All species that take refuge under the trees will also die out because of the fall of the trees!

I don't want to see such a scenario.

I want to clean up all these termites that eat the trees, but if I don't go deep into the soil, I will never be able to clean up the termites that are deep in the ground.

Only by walking to the roots of the big tree step by step can you have a chance to clean up termites!

So I went to the School of Political Affairs, and I got to where I am now!

And now that I have seen the passage into the roots, how can I stay here? ”

Lao Huang was silent.

After a long time, memories appeared in his eyes, and he drank the wine in his mouth one by one and said slowly:

"The old man originally had a family of five.

Wife, son, daughter-in-law and a lovely eldest grandson.

The family planted a few acres of thin fields, although it was not very rich and very hard, but the family could always survive.

But the arrival of natural disasters, the increase of taxes, the forced labor of the government, everything will be ruined!

When the son was dragged to repair the city wall, he happened to encounter the invasion of the Huns, and he was gone.

After receiving the news, the daughter-in-law looked for a short time, and it was gone.

We can only live with a child who is just over a year old.

However, the next year there was a great drought, so on the way to escape, he was stolen in the middle of the night, and when he found the child, he ......"

Speaking of this, Lao Huang's cloudy eyes were already overflowing with tears, his voice became choked, and tears kept falling.

Intermittently: "That kid ...... The kid ...... Only...... Only half a ...... is left Half an arm......

The old man desperately snatched it back, and when the old woman saw it, it was gone on the spot.

I continued to walk with my wife's body, and I didn't dare to let go of her or bury her.

The people around her kept staring at her, and I was afraid that she would be gone in a blink of an eye.

It wasn't until she arrived in Yunzhou County that she was buried with the help of the government.

With the big immigration policy, the old man didn't want to stay in Yunzhou County, so he came here all the way, and fortunately, Lord Taishou had this job.

survived.

His Royal Highness the Cloud King is a good person! Your Majesty, he's a great good guy! Taishou-sama, you're also a good official! Great good officer!

His Royal Highness King Yun has become the emperor, and now the customs are getting better and better, two days ago I received a letter from my family, and a nephew of the old man said that the government gave him a land, and now he has married a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a big fat boy.

Good! That's it!

This time, the prince wants to transfer you to Bianjing, Lord Taishou, that is also a good thing, with your help, Lord Taishou, we people will definitely be able to live better!

Taishou-sama, you're right! You really should go to Bianjing and help the prince clean up all the dog things that are not as good as the beasts.

Only in this way can everyone live a good life!

You shouldn't be right here......

You weren't born here......"

Zhang Zheng listened silently, snatched the wine gourd from Lao Huang's hand and drank it all.

When Lao Huang took back the gourd and took a look, it was gone!?

Suddenly dumbfounded!

"My lord! That's my amount for one night! ”

Zhang Zheng stood up straight, walked into his public room quickly, took out a jar of wine, and then put it on the table and said to Lao Huang with a smile: "I'll compensate you!" This is the wine that the prince gave me when I completed the graduation test! I've never been willing to drink it!

Today! We drank him together! ”

Lao Huang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't help rubbing his hands.

"This ...... How embarrassing is that? ”

"Do you drink or not?"

"Drink!"

"Good! Hahahaha! ”

At night, the moon shines like water.

Under the banyan tree in the compound of the county guarding the yamen.

One old and one young.

Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and drink into three people!
