Chapter 35 The Grace of Preaching is Greater Than Heaven
Back at the Yamen, Yu Cheng asked puzzledly: "My lord, they committed a capital crime, did they just let them go?"
All along, Zhang Ming has always acted according to the law in Yu Cheng's heart, but today, why didn't he execute them according to the law? Killing the imperial court officials, this alone is enough for them to raid their homes and destroy their homes.
Killing officials has always been associated with rebellion.
Rebellion is a great sin to destroy the nine tribes.
Zhang Ming said helplessly: "Do you think that this official wants to let them go? Of course, he will be happy to kill them with a knife, but what about after that? What should I do if I govern the entire county? There are no talents in the county, and there are not even many scholars, so it is impossible for me to govern Qing'an County alone." Therefore, the official must keep them, thinking that after this incident, those gentry families in the county should not dare to go against the official again. ”
Yu Cheng nodded, and said with a look of admiration: "Your Excellency, you are right, you can't solve the problem by killing people alone." ”
The next morning, Yang Shaoyu, Jiang Zihou, and people from the three major families sent the silver and the title deed to the yamen. When Huang Yun saw these things, his mouth couldn't close with a smile, he was just a down-and-out scholar, how could he have seen so much wealth?
"My lord, I didn't expect you to get so much wealth just after you came to Qing'an County, it's incredible. Huang Yun said to Zhang Ming, "My lord can now be said to be the richest man in the county, even if the three major families don't have so much land." ”
Zhang Ming glanced at Huang Yun and said, "These riches are not the official's, they belong to the imperial court, and they belong to the people of the entire Qing'an County. Count the tenant farmers who have no arable land in the entire Qing'an County, and give them all this land, but make it clear to them that the land belongs to the imperial court, and they can only use it, not buy or sell. ”
Huang Yun took note of Zhang Ming's words and asked, "My lord, is there anything else you want to order?"
Zhang Ming thought for a while, and finally said: "In the future, the gentry and the people of Qing'an County will be treated equally and will have to pay taxes. You can't just let the people pay taxes, while the gentry are so rich that they want to be extravagant. ”
The gentry have money in their homes, and as long as they take out a small part of it to pay taxes, they can make the county rich, but the gentry have never been taxed. The people are miserable, but they have to pay a lot of taxes every year, so that they don't have enough food and clothing, which is unreasonable. In other places, Zhang Ming can't manage it, but in Qing'an County, he must treat everyone equally.
"My lord, do you still want to discuss it with the county magistrate and the county lieutenant? or just issue a notice?" Huang Yun said.
Zhang Ming said firmly: "Of course, we have to discuss it, and this official does not want to monopolize power." As long as everyone does things for the people, the world will be peaceful. ”
...............
Zhang Ming asked Yu Cheng to find a boulder.
Yu Cheng and a few catchers quickly carried the boulder to the gate of the county office.
"Your Excellency, the boulder you asked for has been found. This is a fine stone, and it can be used to build a palace, and there is no problem. Yu Cheng said with a smile.
Zhang Ming looked at the boulder as white as jade, nodded and said, "It's very good, such a big boulder is enough." ”
"My lord, I don't know what you want to use this boulder for?" Yu Cheng asked.
Zhang Ming smiled and said, "You'll know soon." ”
Boom!
Zhang Ming drew his long sword, split the boulder, trimmed and carved, and soon, a huge stone tablet was formed.
Subsequently, Zhang Ming used his magical swordsmanship to engrave words on the stone tablet.
The font is regular script, dignified.
Zhang Mingcai carved dozens of words, and Yu Chengcheng knew that this matter was an exercise, and it seemed to be very profound, not comparable to ordinary basic boxing methods.
This exercise is actually the big python Hun Yuan fist, but it has been modified by Zhang Ming, and with the technique of spitting and guiding, it can be regarded as very powerful. Now only martial artists with very advanced boxing skills can see a trace of the shadow of the big python Hun Yuan fist on the stone tablet.
After carving the exercises, Zhang Ming waved his hand, and a palm wind whistled by, blowing the stone dust on the stele clean.
"Okay, Yu catches the head. The official's business is done. Zhang Ming pointed to the stele and said, "In the future, this stele will be placed at the gate of the county government, and the people in the county can copy it and cultivate it." No one is allowed to destroy the stele, otherwise, the official will be severely punished. ”
Zhang Ming has already issued a notice saying that he will announce the boxing method, and until today, the exercise method has finally been announced.
Yu Cheng hugged his fists and said, "Yes, my lord." The subordinates will let people guard in front of the stele for twelve hours a day, and no one will want to destroy the stele. ”
Zhang Ming did what he said and really made his boxing method public.
The county magistrate is really a good person, such a profound boxing technique, when it is announced, it will be announced.
Soon, the people who got the news on the street gathered in front of the stone tablet in front of the yamen to watch the transcription.
Huang Yun saw the excited people, and said with some concern: "My lord, everyone will learn martial arts in the future, and many things will be even more uncontrollable." Martial arts are terrifying. ”
Huang Yun saw the horror of martial arts in Zhang Ming's body. Zhang Ming alone, with his powerful martial arts and swordsmanship, pressed the officials and gentry families of a county to bow their heads, if everyone had such a powerful martial arts as Zhang Ming, how terrible would it be?
Zhang Ming glanced at Huang Yun and said with a flat face: "At the beginning of people, their nature is good. Mr. Huang Yun, you must know that in this world, there are always more good people than bad people. Thinking about it from another angle, if everyone becomes a peerless strong, a bad person, it is impossible to bully good people anymore. Did you say yes?"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Ming turned around and entered the yamen.
Huang Yun smiled bitterly and said, "My lord is reasonable. But he said in his heart, my lord, people are also selfish, the so-called people do not destroy for themselves, everyone has become a master, and the fight is even more terrifying.
..................
Three miles south of the county seat, there is a small village, and villager Li Daniu is both relieved and worried when he sees his six-year-old son constantly holding a 50-pound stone pier to temper his strength.
The son has been gifted since he was a child, and he can lift a fifty-pound stone pier at the age of six, which is the first in the village. When the people in the village talk about Li Daniu's son, who doesn't give a thumbs up and say that he is good? Li Daniu also thinks that his son, when he grows up, will definitely become a first-class hero.
It's a pity that there are no famous teachers in the village, and the most powerful villagers have barely reached the level of third-rate martial artists, which is inferior to many bandits. Li Daniu didn't think about sending his son to the sect, but there was no money, and the sect couldn't get in, unless the sect discovered his son's talent and took the initiative to recruit him.
"Could it be that my son's talent can only be wasted in vain like this?" Li Daniu was unwilling, "Two days ago, someone came from the yamen and posted a notice, saying that the county commander was going to announce the martial arts of boxing, and I don't know if it was true? Even if it was announced, I don't know when it would happen, if I waited for ten or twenty years, wouldn't the daylily be cold?"
A six-year-old boy grows like a calf.
"Ninety-nine, one hundred!"
The child was sweating profusely, and finally lifted the fifty-pound stone pier a hundred times.
At this time, a woman came back from the field with a vegetable basket, and the child dropped the stone pier and shouted happily to Li Daniu: "Dad, my mother has come back to cook, and I am already hungry." ”
The woman glanced at Li Da Niu and asked, "Da Niu, what's wrong with you today?" ”
Li Daniu said: "Let's go cook first, my son is hungry." You are a woman, and you told you, but you don't understand. ”
The woman glared at Li Daniu and snorted coldly: "You say as if you have a lot of knowledge, haven't you only been reading a book for a few days? ”
Li Daniu was silent, compared with the county commander? The county magistrate is a character who is a man of Wenqu and martial arts, how can he be compared to ordinary people?
You must know that the county magistrate is not yet twenty years old, and he is already the number one master in Qing'an County, exterminating the bandits and bandits in the county.
Although Li Daniu's house is poor, it is very clean. Of course, this is an order given by the county magistrate, and from time to time people from the yamen come to check on it, and once someone's house is not clean, they will be punished.
The house is clean, the village is clean, the streets are clean.
The entire Qing'an County seems to have a new look.
A family of three was eating with a rice bowl, when a teenage child ran in and shouted: "Uncle Niu, Uncle Niu, it's been announced, the county order has been announced!"
Li Daniu was confused, and asked inexplicably: "Erwa, what has been announced?" Doesn't the prefectural magistrate often announce notices? What are you announcing this time?"
Erwa wiped the sweat from her forehead, took a breath, and said: "Martial arts, it's martial arts!" The county commander announced the boxing method, and all the people can copy and practice. ”
Li Daniu's eyes lit up, he stood up all of a sudden, and even his rice bowl fell to the ground: "Where is the boxing technique?"
Erwa said: "The county commander engraved the fist method on the stone tablet outside the gate of the county government......"
Li Daniu rushed out of the house: "Outside the gate of the county government, right? Okay, I'll go now!"
The woman's voice came: "Big cow, go after eating." Since the county magistrate has announced the martial arts, we will have it sooner or later, and it will not be too late. ”
Li Daniu shouted as he ran: "It's all this time, where can I still take care of eating? As long as there is the exercise, my son, there will be hope!"
Li Daniu came to the gate of the county government, and sure enough, he saw a huge stone tablet, which was engraved with italic characters, and the fist technique was very profound, and there was also the technique of Tuna, which was regarded as a treasure by the sect family.
It's a pity that the county magistrate doesn't seem to have a name for this boxing method.
After transcribing the boxing technique, Li Daniu suddenly knelt in front of the yamen and shouted loudly: "Lord County Commander, I, Li Daniu, have kowtowed to you." Thank you for your preaching!"
The other people, when they saw Li Daniu, an upright man, kneeling on the ground, they also knelt down: "Thank you for the grace of the county commander!"
The martial arts inheritance, for thousands of years, has been controlled by the sect family.
But this time, Zhang Ming broke the rules of tens of thousands of years, and announced the profound martial arts boxing method to the people for the first time, preaching kindness, which is greater than the sky. The people are simple, and whoever is good to them will of course be remembered in their hearts.
