Chapter 95: The new official takes office with three fires
Liang Shixian soon organized a procession, including Master Shaoxing, ten new officials, each with three helpers, a large team of more than 40 people.
First took a turn in the county, but there are not many rich households in the city, the last time Wang Er made a rebellion, he has killed the rich households in the city, and from the few remaining rich households, there is no way to apportion a few money.
Liang Shixian went out of the city and walked around the countryside at will.
Along the way, Shijia Village, Dujiagui Village, Chegai Village, Daxian Village...... Everywhere you go, it's barren, and it's not easy to find a single family out of ten dwellings, with cracked loess everywhere and starving bones on the roadside.
Occasionally, I finally saw a large building that looked like a squire's fort, and when I walked over to take a look, I found that it had already been burned down by thieves, and a ruined wall had long since lost its former glory.
Occasionally, a few living people are found in the village, and they also describe the withered lemon god as numb.
Liang Shixian was a little distressed when he saw it, and couldn't help wiping a handful of tears, so he immediately picked up his pen and wrote a chapter: "In the year of Ding Mao, the drought in Chengcheng is great, and there is a great hunger in the year." The people can't provide for it, Dao Jin looks at each other, or the group takes the rich Su, fearing arrest and punishment, and gathers for thieves. Stealing, hunger is very good, year after year, the ground is red, and the rice is thousand
Money can't be obtained, people cannibalize each other, from chaos like home, and the hungry people become thieves. The people from all over the world look at the sea of bitterness ........"
Later, Liang Shixian couldn't cry: "The people of Chengcheng are suffering, since I came here to take office, how can I save them?" Not to mention saving them, it is difficult for them to even live. ”
The master said in a low voice: "Ask the imperial court for some silver to help the victims, can you ask for it?" ”
Liang Shixian shook his head, he knew that the imperial court had no money, where to manage such a small place as Chengcheng.
The group walked forward in despair, and their mood was not very relaxed, and suddenly, a government official shouted: "Lord County, there should be a village, and it is actually ...... Autumn sowing is being prepared. ”
"What?"
Liang Shixian's spirits perked: "There are still such villages? ”
He hurriedly climbed the height, looked forward, and saw that beside the hillside in front of him, there was a village of considerable scale, and in the middle of the village there was a large-scale family fort, which at first glance was the kind that only rich people could build, and the castle wall alone was three feet high.
I'm afraid this is not something that a super family with a lot of money can afford.
Next to the fort, there were several houses, forming a small village, and it was obvious that the poor lived in this village, tenants who worked long hours for the landlord in the fort next to him.
Of course, this is not the point, the point is that the large area centered on the Jiabao seems to be warm, and grass sprouts have sprung up in many places, and it is clear that it has only rained here the other day.
There are still many farmers in the fields, ploughing the fields to loosen the soil, digging ditches to drain the water, and making the final preparations for autumn sowing.
Liang Shixian was overjoyed: "There is no endless road, it has rained here, and the people here have survived." ”
The master was also overjoyed: "Lord County, that fort is extraordinary, I am afraid that it can only be built by a very rich lord, if we talk to him, we may be able to let him fund and help." ”
Liang Shixian woke up slightly, by the way, don't forget the purpose of my trip, I have to let the rich people take out the money to help get through this difficulty, but this fort is so large, the people who built this fort will have a hard background, maybe the fourth and third princes in the family are a super powerful family.
I'm a little Qipin county order, can I talk to others?
Thinking of this, I really panicked!
However, I have to panic, I am not for myself, but for the thousands of people in Chengcheng County, I am doing right, sitting straight, and my waist is stiff, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Liang Shixian gritted his teeth: "Let's go, let's go to visit." ”
Inside Gaojiabao.
Thirty-two was crossing Erlang's legs, with a smug look, watching the master he had just recruited working hard to count the materials in the warehouse on the second floor of the watchtower.
Since the thieves retreated, the transportation is convenient, and it is easy to travel to and from the county, Thirty-two has recently walked a few times to the county seat, to meet the wife, by the way, the master, helpers and other things have been invited, the fort is now prepared with a few horses, set a carriage, all kinds of messy materials are not lacking.
The new master in front of him is a literati who has fallen behind in the imperial examination, named Tan Liwen, his family is poor, his clothes are still patched, he has studied hard for ten years, he has repeatedly failed in the imperial examination, and after failing the list a few times, he was disheartened, so he came out to find a master's job, but he has just become a master, and his hands and feet are really not sharp.
"Huh? This one is written incorrectly. Tan Liwen was a little panicked, he wanted to change it but couldn't change it, so he was in a hurry, so he had to take a piece of paper again and rewrite all the pages just now.
Thirty-two frowned and scolded, "Why are you so wasteful? Write a few words and make a mistake? How much paper is wasted? Our paper mill has just started to make paper, and now paper is expensive. ”
Tan Liwen hurriedly accompanied a smile: "Dong Weng, I'm very sorry, I must be cautious in the future." ”
XXXII: "Humph! ”
He was scolding in his mouth, but he was secretly cool in his heart, and he even wanted to sing, but he absolutely couldn't show it in front of his subordinates. This is called "turning over the master to be a Dong Weng", so cool that you don't want it.
At this moment, a hired helper ran in from outside: "Dong Weng, the new county commander is here, less than two miles away from our village."
XXXII: "Huh? ”
This surprise was not small, and Thirty-two brushed the ground and jumped up: "Quick, notify all the villagers, hide the iron armor, and hide all the divine things given by the Heavenly Venerable, don't let the corrupt officials see it, and save yourself from extraneous branches." ”
The helper grinned: "Tianzun slapped the corrupt official into a meatloaf, what is there to be afraid of?"
Thirty-two snorted: "You've been in the village for a while, and you still don't understand Tianzun's style of acting?" He won't slap people without asking, if it weren't for the most vicious people, his old man wouldn't have made a move, stop talking nonsense, go quickly. ”
The helper hurriedly went, and the shouts in Gaojiabao came and went, and after a while, the Tianzun artifacts were hidden, and even the huge solar car was covered with a cloth, not teaching it to show anything.
Thirty-two quickly ran up to the third floor, called Gao Yiye, and commanded in a low voice: "Cheng Xu, that guy is a martial ruffian, and he is very easy to fool, saying that this big castle was built at the expense of Master Bai, so he fooled it." But the new county magistrate seems to be a guy who has learned to be rich and has five cars, and his brain is spinning quickly.
It's not easy to fool, we were afraid that we couldn't fool him in the past. ”
"Fortunately, he is a new official, and he is not familiar with the local area, I made up a story and lied to him that this family fort is the family business of Master Li, I remember that Tianzun is surnamed Li, so this is the Li family, you remember clearly, I am the chief steward of Master Li's family, you are the eldest lady of Master Li, remember clearly, don't help me."
