Chapter 29: Planting a Seed of Hope

Domineering also has the benefit of being domineering. At least it is very convenient to handle official business, and there is no need to quarrel with the officials of the yamen. Once there is disagreement, the things you want to do will be shelved, or even put on hold indefinitely, even if this matter is a great thing for the people of the county.

The fifth prince gave Zhang Ming three years to govern Qing'an County and change the fate of the people, three years is not a long time, it can even be said to be very short, Zhang Ming will definitely not waste time and those officials in the yamen.

Every time a decree was issued, Zhang Ming would discuss it with the county magistrate, and as long as the county magistrate and the county lieutenant could not say anything unreasonable about the decree, Zhang Ming would immediately ask Huang Yun to write a notice to inform the people of the county.

Every decree issued by Zhang Ming was a great blessing to the people of the county, but it often infringed on the interests of the gentry and officials. But when Zhang Ming took out the decree, he had already explained to all the officials why he did this, and the reason was clear.

To do things for the people is to take advantage of the righteousness.

Even the most treacherous corrupt officials did not dare to openly oppose Zhang Ming, and could only secretly do some shady small actions to sabotage it.

In just two days, Zhang Ming issued six decrees at once.

The county magistrate acted so vigorously and resolutely that the people and gentry of the county were shocked at once.

It's late at night.

Zhang Ming finished his day's official duties and began to practice martial arts.

The sound of air shaking and even tearing was constantly coming out in the backyard of the yamen, which was a sonic boom made by Zhang Ming. Now the people in the yamen are no longer surprised by such a voice, and they all know that the county magistrate is a peerless master.

Zhang Ming's whole body was violently shaken, and his skin, muscles, bones, and even internal organs all emitted ripples that could not be seen with the naked eye. Although he couldn't see it, Zhang Ming could clearly feel the qi and blood of his whole body and the shock of his body.

Use the fist to shake the body to achieve the effect of easy tendon washing.

Zhang Ming's control of qi and blood has reached the realm of transcendence, using his thoughts to carry qi and blood, and wherever he wants his qi and blood to go in his body, his qi and blood will go. The qi and blood are rich in nutrients and powerful energy, which can make Zhang Ming's injuries heal quickly.

If an ordinary martial artist is so seriously injured, even the bones have slight cracks, and it will take at least half a year to recover, but Zhang Ming only needs a few days.

"Gollum ......"

Zhang Ming exhaled the airflow, and his abdomen made a sound like a bullfrog's chirping, which could be heard by the entire county government.

The peristalsis of the intestines can make the qi and blood more energetic, remove the impurities that are silent in the body, and make the internal organs more pure.

If Zhang Ming continues to cultivate like this, his body will become more and more pure, and when the time comes, he will be free from all diseases and poisons.

After fighting for two hours in a row, he stood up and retracted his merits, and spit out the exhaust gas in his abdominal cavity, Zhang Ming smelled a fishy smell of blood, which was blood in his body.

"The bruises have finally been cleared, and the injuries will heal after tomorrow. Zhang Ming had a smile on his face, "What's even more gratifying is that the strength of the body's qi and blood has increased again." Within three months, he will definitely be able to reach the acquired perfection and impact the innate realm. I hope that the innate martial artists of the Wang family will not come so quickly. ”

After washing, Zhang Ming was preparing to rest. But at this time, Huang Yun was sweating profusely and ran over panting.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong. After Huang Yun saw Zhang Ming, he shouted loudly, his face was very bad.

Zhang Ming said: "Mr. Huang, what is it that makes you so flustered? Also, your body should also be exercised, otherwise how can the official let you do things with peace of mind? What is the matter, is it that the bandits have attacked the city?"

Zhang Ming didn't believe that if he was sitting in the county government, and there were bandits who dared to make trouble, he was really looking for death.

Huang Yun said: "My lord, it's not a bandit, it's a plague. There is a plague in the county. ”

Zhang Ming's face changed greatly, it turned out to be a plague?

"Where and how many people are infected?" Zhang Ming didn't even have time to close the door, and rushed out directly.

Plague, that's a deadly thing. Once the control is not good, there will be chaos.

"Outside the city, five miles away, the town, oh, it's Takasaki Town. Huang Yun said loudly.

In the past two days, Huang Yun has done his best and worked hard.

"Inform Yu Cheng, and other county officials will come immediately, and this official will go first to see the situation there. ”

Before the words fell, Zhang Ming's figure had disappeared.

Zhang Ming came to Gaoqi Town, and saw that the mayor and Baojia and others were there, and many people were holding torches with worried faces.

The plague, not to mention ordinary people, even first-class martial artists are very afraid.

"This official is a county order, everyone should not panic, what is the situation? Who can tell this official?"

The mayor and Baojia told Zhang Ming about the situation, which immediately made Zhang Ming breathe a sigh of relief, fortunately, the matter is still under control. The plague was discovered in a small village, not on a large scale.

Zhang Ming instructed: "Send a few people to the county town to invite all the doctors to the official, and also, slaughter and burn all the livestock in the village, prohibit eating, and isolate and control all those who are determined to be infected and those who have been in contact with the infected person." The county government will compensate for the losses caused this time. ”

Zhang Ming's orderly arrangement stabilized people's hearts.

Soon, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, and Yu Cheng, the head catcher, rushed over with the men from the county office. Under the leadership of Zhang Ming, he was busy until dawn to finish all the things.

At this time, an old man came over and said to Zhang Ming: "My lord, this plague is finally under control. The old man and several other doctors have already led people to brew potions, which can be used to defend against the plague. ”

This old man is the best doctor in the county.

Zhang Ming hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, old man." But what about those who are infected, can they be cured?"

The old man sighed and said, "My lord, although this plague is not the most terrible, it is a plague after all, and the old man is powerless to be infected. If the body is strong and full of qi and blood, it is possible to heal on its own, those old, weak, sick and disabled people, hey...... Whether they can survive or not can only depend on their own creation. ”

People who are strong and full of qi and blood are not easy to get sick, and even if there is an invasion of disease, they can be cured quickly, but those who are weak and have a little wind and cold may kill them, let alone the plague.

Zhang Ming said: "Thank you, old man. You've been busy all night and you're tired, so let's go down and rest first. ”

Then the old man took his leave. The old man saluted and withdrew.

Zhang Ming's actions today let many people know that he is a good official. He took the lead, took the lead in hands-on work, and when he commanded others, even if someone made a mistake, he never lost his temper once.

The gentle attitude makes Zhang Ming approachable.

What's more, even if the people were infected with the plague, Zhang Ming tried his best to appease them and meet their reasonable demands, and did not give them up. If other ruthless officials discovered the plague, they might immediately give up the infected people, or even kill and bury them so that the plague could not be transmitted. According to historical records, more than 300 years ago, there was a plague in the south, and the officials at that time killed more than 200,000 people at once to control the spread of the plague. But afterwards, the official who ordered the killing of the people was not punished, but was rewarded by the imperial court, so that his official fortune was prosperous.

But Zhang Ming would never be able to do such a thing, how ruthless is he to kill the people?

In Zhang Ming's heart, although there are more than 100,000 people in Qing'an County, none of them are superfluous. is not in a desperate situation, Zhang Ming will not give up on any of the people. If you give up one people today, you may have to find an excuse to give up a hundred, or even ten thousand, next time. This is not Zhang Ming's way of being an official.

After returning to the county office, Zhang Ming hurriedly issued two more decrees.

"Yu Zhutou, put these two notices all over the county, every town, every village, all over the place. This official wants to make Qing'an County clean. Also, everyone in the county must learn martial arts boxing techniques to achieve physical fitness. ”

Qing'an County is poor, Zhang Ming can tolerate it, but dirty and messy, he can't tolerate it. Poverty is no money, but there is no shortage of water in Qing'an County, and it is not difficult for everyone to clean their clothes and even their bodies at home.

Zhang Ming also plans to promote the python Hun Yuan boxing.

Of course, this basic boxing method was adapted by Zhang Ming, and it was equipped with the technique of spitting and guiding. Those with high talents, relying on this boxing method, can completely cultivate to the level of second-rate martial artists, and even some geniuses, it is not impossible to become a first-class martial artist by relying on the big python Hun Yuan boxing.

Chivalry is forbidden by force.

With martial arts, it will be difficult for the people to manage, and Zhang Ming is not worried about this problem at all. Now there are many sects and families in the whole world, and there are countless people who practice martial arts, but those ordinary people have no suitable exercises, let alone cultivation resources, and they can't become strong in a lifetime.

Zhang Ming did this for another purpose, that is, to dig the corners of the sect family.

The sect family has a monopoly on martial arts, and even learning, if you want to learn peerless martial arts and become a strong person, you can only join the sect family. The people who can enter the family of the sect are all talents who are one in a thousand, but these talented and intelligent children have all entered the family of the sect, what should the imperial court do? At present, the imperial court is in short supply of talents, and even cannot select talents, and the situation is worrying.

The fifth prince felt that there was no talent available in the imperial court, and he was deeply helpless.

If all the people in the world can learn martial arts and have the opportunity to become strong, the attraction of sects and families will not be so great. Because at that time, there was no difference between entering the sect and practicing at home.

When the time comes, the sect family will not be able to recruit any more disciples, and those talents will be reserved for the use of the imperial court.

Zhang Ming's idea will not be said to Yu Cheng.

Because Zhang Ming knew that his approach was simply an enemy of the sect family, and the Taiqing Sect and the Leiyin Temple might not let him go at that time.

Before he had the ability to protect himself, Zhang Ming could only do things cautiously and try not to show his true purpose.

Taking advantage of the plague in the county, Zhang Ming just promoted martial arts and boxing in an open and honest manner, so that the people in the county could strengthen their bodies. With the martial arts of the people, there will be no targets for bandits and bandits to rob, and at that time, the bandits will lose the soil for survival.

Now Zhang Ming has just planted a seed, a seed of hope, and if he wants to reap the fruit, it may be decades, or even centuries, from now. But Zhang Ming has one of the biggest advantages, that is, he is not short of patience. As long as it is something that can benefit the people of the world, no matter how difficult it is and how long it is, he is willing to wait.
