Chapter 68: Shanning City Du He

A long procession marched, both on horseback in front and behind, with five carriages in the middle.

I saw a horse rider in front of me signal to stop and rest, and then rode to the second carriage, and then helped Mr. Jingci out of the carriage and went to the side to rest.

"Teacher, we will go to Shanning City tomorrow, whether to repair in Shanning City for a few days, or go straight through. Shan Zhengmin asked Jingci.

Jing Ci thought for a moment, "I remember that the prefect of Shanning City is Du He, right?"

"The teacher has a really good memory, it is indeed Du He, he is the official disciple you received when you came to Dashan Country last time, and the official luck has been smooth in the past few years, and he has achieved the position of the prefect. Shan Zhengmin replied, he was also a little envious, after all, if he became the prefect and the lord of a city, he would be more comfortable than in the capital.

"Let's go to Shanning City to rest for a day, I also want to meet this Du He, and I am not impressed, if I don't see it again, I really can't think of it, and I will be incompetent as a teacher." Jing Ci smiled helplessly as he spoke, he had received a lot of disciples over the years, and many people couldn't remember it, and he often heard people around him talk about which disciple was where, which disciple had a promising future, and so on.

"Yes, teacher, we will go to the post station in front tonight to rest, and we can enter Shanning City tomorrow morning, I will send someone to tell Du He as soon as possible, and let him pick you up." Shan Zhengmin said.

"Okay. Jing Ci said, "Tell Yang Miao about this situation." ”

"Teacher, he's coming. Shan Zhengmin said.

I saw Yang Miao drinking water and riding a horse over.

"Senior Brother Miao's horseback riding skills are really good, much better than me. Shan Zhengmin looked at Yang Miao's horseback riding style and said to Jingci.

Jingci watched Yang Miao arrive on horseback, and got off the horse very calmly, without much dust.

"Senior Brother Miao, I haven't seen you ride a horse before, I didn't expect your equestrian skills to be so exquisite, and you can live like a personable young man, how old are you to start learning to ride a horse?" asked Shan Zhengmin with a good ride.

Yang Miao saw that the teacher was also looking at her, and said with a smile, "I started learning at the age of eleven, and after learning, I would ride a horse out for a walk as soon as I was free, and I slowly became proficient." ”

Yang Miao also pretended to be mysterious and said, "Let me tell you a secret, my original intention of riding a horse was to escape, the previous days in Dachang Kingdom, and the southbound road from Dachang Kingdom, let me understand that it is to escape, and I need to have more skills." ”

"Haha," the two laughed.

After that, Shan Zhengmin told Yang Miao about the situation in Shanning City.

When the group arrived not far from Shanning City, they saw that the city gate was wide open, and there were many people standing at the gate, and at a glance they knew that it was the prefect Du He who brought officials and people to greet Mr. Jingci.

When Jingci's carriage arrived at the gate of the city, Yang Miao and Shan Zhengmin helped Jingci down, and they heard a group of people at the gate bowing, "Meet Mr. Jingci." ”

A man wearing the prefect's official uniform stepped forward, "Student Du He meets the teacher." ”

Jingci was also very gentle to help Du He, "Get up, get up." ”

"Teacher, the students are ready in the city, please go into the city. Du He said and led the way in front.

As Jingci and Du He entered the city gate, a large group of people followed into the city, and the city gate returned to its normal appearance.

In order to welcome Mr. Jingci, Du He cleaned up the main hall of the state pavilion yesterday and let the people who had already moved in to the auxiliary pavilion.

Entering the state pavilion, Du He said that the officials and people in the city admired Mr. very much, and the restaurant booked more than a dozen tables of wine and food, and asked Jingci to go over and have dinner together.

Jingci rejected Du He on the spot, saying: "Du He, the teacher came to the city this time to see you and the people, you just leave the teacher and have a meal with the brothers and sisters, and those in the restaurant, you can tell them that you will be exempted." ”

Shan Zhengmin also said on the side, it is indeed just a pass, not to stay too long, just to get together with his senior brothers.

Du He saw that everyone really didn't want to eat in the restaurant, so he sent someone to return the banquet.

Under Shan Zhengmin's introduction, Du He and everyone got acquainted with it.

"You are Senior Brother Yang Miao, you have admired your name for a long time. Du He smiled and said to Yang Miao.

"Senior brother is polite, I also won the award, I am in Wangcheng, I have not been to other places. Yang Miao thought about how she could become famous, so she said what was in her heart.

"I know all the five lessons taught by Senior Brother Miao, and the talents here have passed, and they have benefited a lot. Du He said, it's really the same thing.

"You two should sit down too," Jing Ci said, "I am very happy to see how harmonious you brothers and sisters can be when they meet, as a teacher." ”

"On other days, you must also support each other and live in peace. Jing Ci admonished.

"Students remember. The average student said in unison.

"Zhengmin, Yang Miao and Du He stay, and the rest of you go down to rest first. Jing Ci commanded.

Everyone retreated and dispersed.

"Du He, how has Shanning City been in the past few years?" Jing Ci asked, usually paying little attention to this place.

"Teacher, it's all very good, this year's food is more than last year's, the population is also a little more, overall I am still satisfied, I have reported the situation here to the lord of the country, and I have also received praise from the lord of the country. Du He was a little complacent, and said with a happy face.

"How about Jingci City, where your senior brother Shang is in charge, you are close here, you should know a little. Jing Ci asked what he wanted to know.

Du He thought for a while and said, "Don't dare to deceive the teacher, the teacher's fief itself is remote, coupled with the lack of land and resources, in recent years, some forces in Taimu Mountain have often gone down the mountain to grab things, resulting in fewer people in Jingci City, and many of them have run to Shanning City." ”

"The current situation shows no signs of improving, and it is very difficult to improve people's livelihoods. Du He stopped after saying a few words.

"You have experience in governance, in your opinion, what aspect of Jingci City needs to be governed the most at present?" Jingci asked Du He.

"Teacher, students are not talented, according to the students' humble opinion, in any place, public security is one of the most important links, if public security can not be solved, the people will leave, and the number of people will naturally decrease. ”

"If you manage law and order well, you need to have city guards, and the guards need money and food to support, and the money and food come from taxes, and taxes come from the hard work of the people. Du He was also a little embarrassed when he said it, because the problem came back to him.

Du He looked at Jing Ci a little apologetically, teacher, "Managing a city is a gradual process, which needs to be improved gradually, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. ”

Jingci listened and nodded, he knew that what Du He said was also the actual situation, Jingci was also a prefect in his early years, and he also served as the deputy prime minister of Dazhiguo, and he was also very experienced in the governance of one side, and he also wanted to hear how the prefect of the nearest city looked at it.

Jingci thought for a moment and asked, "Zhengmin and Yang Miao, you two tell me, what will you do according to the situation in the teacher's fiefdom that you know so far?"

Shan Zhengmin looked at Yang Miao, and saw that the other party didn't mean to speak, so he said: "I agree with Senior Brother Du's opinion, first do a good job of public security, as for the personnel, ask the capital for help, borrow an army to come over and use it for a period of time, such as a year." I put other aspects to improve slowly. ”

Yang Miao thought for a moment and said, "The disciple hasn't really seen it yet, so he doesn't dare to say more." If the current situation is going on, I think we need to change the management of the city. ”

Yang Miao said more boldly, and several other people listened to it, but they didn't express their opinions, because this method is more risky. At the same time, they also felt that it was a way to try.

Jingci nodded and said, "Then we will leave for the fiefdom tomorrow, and then make a decision after reading it." ”

Jingci looked at Du He and said, "Du He, you can accompany the teacher on a trip, I need you to give some advice then." ”

Du He was also a little surprised to hear that Jingci took the initiative to invite him, but he was also very happy, and said, "Disciple obeys." I'll go back right away and get ready for tomorrow's departure. ”
