219.
"Deputy Master Zhang is here, I don't know what you are doing?" Hearing his title, Zi Baifeng knew that this person should be the deputy of the camp, Lu Jiayong's tone sounded a little yin and yang, and he didn't seem to like this person very much.
"Isn't this Vice Master Lu Zhi?" The deputy was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his voice was sharp and harsh, sounding a little painful in the eardrums.
Zi Baifeng stretched out his finger and pressed it on the center of his eyebrows, knowing that although the aura in the front yard of the main courtyard was not very strong, he could already see clearly what was happening outside.
The deputy is a thin man, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, which makes people look disgusted, and I really don't know how Lu Dao managed to achieve this position.
The two of you came and went, and after a few words of-for-tat, I heard Zhang Suo say: "I heard that Zhizheng Yuan has changed to a new Zhizheng, and I happened to pass by here, so I came to visit." ”
"Lord Zhizheng is busy with official business now, so he doesn't have time to meet customers. Lu Jiayong sneered and said: "Deputy Zhang is so idle, it seems that the camp is really a place for the elderly, and in another twenty or thirty years, I will also be transferred to the camp." ”
"Welcome, welcome, the camp will be vacant at that time...... But I'm afraid that Lord Lu, you won't be able to wait for that time. Dongting Zhizheng Yuan has been four consecutive years of completion rate is not up to standard, in another ten days, this year's completion rate will stop reporting, I don't know how the completion rate of this year's Dongting Zhizheng Yuan? If this year does not meet the completion standard, your newcomer's Zhizheng is not expected to be punished, the predecessor Zhizheng also left the mess and ran away, but you, the deputy in charge of repair, are afraid that it will be difficult to escape...... Well, when the time comes, come to our camp as a pen officer, and it is not bad to retire. ”
Zi Baifeng frowned, and the completion rate was ...... What does it mean to complete the repair? Zi Baifeng felt that it was not good, he got up and looked through the documents of the previous years, and his brows suddenly squeezed into a pimple.
The country is vast, the communication is inconvenient, and all kinds of reporting documents are counted from September of that year, like the remote Mengcheng boundary, which is quickly sent to Xijing, and it is also the end of the year. It's the end of September, and it's almost October.
However, the completion rate of the camp is still red.
This deputy Zhang Suo said well, he has just taken office, so naturally he can't blame himself; his predecessor has been transferred, and he can't use his predecessor to cut his knife, and the only person who may be used to sacrifice the knife is his deputy.
If he is removed and replaced by a new person, he, the three leaders of the Zhizheng Yuan, will all become newcomers, and in this way, his own officials will not be a new person.
Zi Baifeng is not an official fan, but the current official position can play a very big role for him.
Deputy Zhang turned around and left, as if he had come to see Lu Jiayong's joke on purpose.
Lu Jiayong watched him leave, his teeth creaked, but he couldn't rush up directly and beat him up, even if he beat him up, it couldn't change the fact that the completion rate was low.
"Deputy Lu Zhi. Zi Baifeng stood at the door of the study and shouted.
Lu Jiayong took a deep breath, restrained the gloom on his face, and then walked towards Zi Baifeng, with that courteous smile on his face: "Lord Zhizheng!"
"Come on. Zi Baifeng beckoned, and then turned around and entered the room.
Lu Jiayong sighed and followed.
On Zi Baifeng's table, the completion record of five years was spread out, and when Lu Jiayong looked at it, he knew that Zi Baifeng already knew the Dao.
"Sit. Zi Baifeng personally poured tea for Lu Jiayong, then sat down on one side and said, "I heard it just now." ”
"It made the adults laugh. Lu Jiayong sighed and said, "Your Excellency, please rest assured, your Excellency has just come to Zhizheng Courtyard, Shangfeng will definitely not blame your Excellency, and the lower officials will bear the past with all their might." ”
"This is the business of the entire Zhizheng Temple, and there is no reason for you to bear it alone. Zi Baifeng shook his head.
If there is any characteristic of Zibaifeng, it is to protect the short.
His people, his territory, can't be criticized by others, not to mention, many things in the middle are obviously tired.
"My lord, you must have heard it, there are still ten days to report the completion rate, and now that we have reported for repair, there are still forty-three places that we have not completed here, even if you want to repair it, it is too late, not to mention that Guo Xunzheng is sick at home......" Lu Jiayong has already accepted his fate, "Besides, there are several of them, all of which are under the jurisdiction of the camp, it doesn't matter if I lose my official hat, the key is not to weaken the name of our Zhizheng Yuan......"
"I heard that you are from the Old Wisdom Academy?" Zi Baifeng asked.
"Yes, my father used to serve in Zhizheng Academy, and I grew up in Zhizheng Academy. Lu Jiayong said.
Zi Baifeng nodded and did not speak.
For monks, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye. Because monks are the dominant ones in this world, the rhythm of the entire world is stretched by monks, and for ordinary people, it is very normal for three or five generations to work and live in the same place, and fathers, sons, grandchildren, and grandchildren have the same colleagues and friends.
This feeling is not obvious in places like Mengcheng, but in Xijing, it is really difficult to ignore.
Lu Jiayong grew up in such an environment, his grandfather, his father, were also officials of the Zhizheng Yuan, and the situation was somewhat similar to that of Ge Tou'er.
This kind of life in a circle for several generations and hundreds of years, and the feelings and sense of belonging to this circle are not understood by outsiders like Zibaifeng.
It's not incomprehensible, but it's not incomprehensible.
Therefore, Qi Xunzheng's broken leg would make Ge Tou'er so angry, so Lu Jiayong would rather lose his official position himself than repair things for the camp.
"I'd think of a way to get the best of both worlds. Zibai Fengdao, "There are still ten days to go, and it's too late." Now you go to find someone to lead the team, and after the repair is reported, all the places that can be repaired will be repaired, and I will take care of the rest. ”
Lu Jiayong opened his mouth to say something, but Zi Baifeng waved his hand and said, "Go!"
"Yes, then the official has retired!" Lu Jiayong turned around and left.
Zi Baifeng flipped out the repair record, glanced at it, and frowned.
Waterways, land routes, reroutes, repairs, excavations, and all kinds of work are so much that you have to be busy for all ten days......
However, the most important problem is still to be solved......
Zi Baifeng pondered silently in his heart for a moment, stretched out his hand and scratched a few times in the void, as if he was simulating something, then nodded and said, "This may be possible...... Go give it a try!"
Zi Baifeng walked out of the study and walked to the east.
called Ge Tou'er, Zi Baifeng said: "You take me to see Qi Xunzheng." ”
In addition to Zi Baifeng, several other Xunzheng also have their own study, but it is not so bright, Qi Xunzheng's study, in fact, is a simple room, the distance is quite far, I saw a middle-aged man sawing wood outside the door, the dark green official robe is tied around the waist, and it is covered with wood ash.
"Brother Qi!" The distance was far away, and Ge Tou'er shouted: "My lord has come to see you!"
Qi Xunzheng hurriedly dropped the wood in his hand, stood up straight, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly put down his official robe and said hello to Zi Baifeng.
"Brother Qi, don't be polite. Zi Baifeng stretched out his hand to support him and carefully looked at the middle-aged man in front of him.
Qi Xunzheng is about the age of his early forties, but he looks like he is fifty years old, he is not tall, but he is quite strong, his hair is a little gray, and the corners of his eyes are deeply wrinkled, and he is holding his arm by Zi Baifeng, and he doesn't know what to say, but he just muttered in his mouth: "Hey, this crutch, this crutch ......"
Zi Baifeng looked down, the wood he was sawing just now was a simple crutch, probably not used to carpentry work, the crutch was extremely rough, and there was a broken one next to it, which seemed to be just simple and looked very ugly.
"Brother Qi has to walk every day to inspect the nearby lines, and several crutches have been broken...... Ge Tou'er said in a low voice.
"I don't have to do anything with the crutches I bought, so I have to do it myself. Qi Xunzheng explained in a low voice.
"Brother Qi, I'll come. Zi Baifeng smiled.
"My lord, how can this be?" Qi Xun was terrified, and Zi Baifeng had already stretched out his hand and took the rough cane in his hand.
"It's not ......" Zi Baifeng looked at the wood, shook his head, and said to Ge Tou'er: "Old Ge, you go to my yard and ask my father for a few better woods, and say that you want to make crutches." ”
Ge Tou'er turned and galloped away, and soon came with a few logs in his arms.
Zi Baifeng took a few pieces of wood and looked at them, and with a flick of his palm, Shu Yue turned into a short blade, which was extremely thin and sharp, not looking like a knife, but like a thin ice flake.
Three times five divided by two, a few pieces of wood have been cut and formed, Zi Baifeng simply put them together, and made them a special crutch for the disabled that he often saw in his previous life, one section is under the armpit, and one part is grasped in the hand, the shape is complex, no glue and no lacquer, but it is tightly fitted, and there is no sense of shaking at all.
But this is not the end, Zi Baifeng's fingers trembled, the beam moon in his hand was dazzling and dazzling, the vivid clouds were steaming, the flying dragon was dancing wildly, and Zi Baifeng's carving skills were even more exquisite.
In an instant, an openwork crutch that could be called a work of art appeared in his hand.
"Brother Qi, stretch out your hand that is holding crutches. "Zibai wind channel.
Qi Xun stretched out his right hand, the palm was full of calluses, Zi Baifeng stretched out his hand, compared with him, nodded and said, "That's almost ......"
As he spoke, he reached out and gently shook the grip of the crutches, and with a flick, the grip pattern appeared on the crutches.
"The Son of Heaven carved a jade scepter, and gave it to the elderly. From now on, if you are allowed to ride the moon idlely, you will knock on the door with a cane all the time and night. Zibai said loudly, and then as soon as he let go, the crutches jumped on his own, supporting Qi Xunzheng's armpits.
"Let's go, Brother Qi, come with me. Zi Baifeng smiled. 20023168.html
