Chapter 63 County
Xigou listened carefully and suddenly heard a message: "Really or not, so you are now the third-in-command? Your position is second only to the county magistrate, his second son, and the chief catcher?"
Fang Zhixing pondered: "It seems to be the case that I might even be on an equal footing with the county magistrate's second son and the chief arrester. {What? You don't know yet|Read COM, read the chapters without mistakes|Hurry up and google it}"
Xigou was immediately surprised: "Isn't this wrong? Don't you think there's something wrong?"
Fang Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered: "What's the problem? Do you think you can't see me?"
The thin dog snorted and said, "Are you getting carried away by the joy? Think about it, you are a newbie, you have just arrived and have no qualifications. Just because you killed a few water pirates and have good shooting skills, you are entrusted with an important task." ? How do I feel that this is a big pit? "
Fang Zhixing curled his lips and said, "Can't it be because this County Magistrate Luo Peiyun has a keen eye for pearls, recognizes people and uses them appropriately? Or maybe I just got lucky this time!"
Xigou sneered: "Fart, does Luo Peiyun know you very well? I didn't mean to throw cold water on you. If you come out to mess around, you must have power and background! What do you have?"
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but take a deep look at the luxurious carriage, his mind churning.
At this moment, even he couldn't help but wonder if there was something fishy going on here.
After all, everything did go too smoothly.
[4. Riding a horse over 5,000 meters (completed)]
It is about ten miles from Songlin Temple to the county seat.
When Fang Zhixing completed the 5,000-meter cycling task, he looked up and saw a square city standing at the end of the road.
If you look at it from a high place, you will find that the feng shui of this city is particularly good, as it is surrounded by mountains and rivers.
The mountains are pine forest mountains and the water is Qingshui River.
The city is built against a mountain in the north and is surrounded by a stone wall. It is adjacent to the Qingshui River in the west and stretches out a large and busy dock.
A porridge shed was set up outside the city gate, and someone was giving porridge.
There were many displaced refugees gathered in that place. They were all disheveled, half-clothed, and starved to the point of becoming emaciated and emaciated.
Fang Zhixing looked around and saw that the porridge shed was full of people, very crowded, noisy, noisy and smelly.
Feces of various shapes can be seen everywhere on the ground.
From a distance, you can smell the pungent smell of feces and farts in the air.
"What the hell, the number of refugees has increased again. When will it end?"
Ding Zhigang suddenly cursed, his face full of resentment, his eyes blazing with fire, as if he wanted to drive all those refugees away.
Also, he is responsible for public security.
Refugees have long been the source of the deterioration of public security.
Residents in the city have complained about a series of problems caused by too many refugees.
The refugees outside the city are in chaos and cannot get much help, and public resentment is boiling.
Because of this, when Ding Zhigang saw so many refugees, he immediately felt a headache, full of resentment, and felt unhappy.
Fang Zhixing glanced at him sideways and said comfortingly: "Brother Ding, thank you for your hard work. It must be very difficult to deal with these refugees. It must be very tricky."
"Hey, it's not only difficult, it's really frustrating."
Ding Zhigang pointed at the porridge shed and said in anger, "Brother, you don't know something. In fact, there are many refugees here who are not from Qinglin County at all. They came from other counties.
This girl, who is not from our jurisdiction, comes to us to ask for food and drink, to take care of her, and to take care of her food, drink, and toilet. It is simply unreasonable! "
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Are all the refugees running to Qinglin County? Is it possible that the disaster in Qinglin County was the least severe and other places were more serious?"
Ding Zhigang nodded, lowered his voice, and said with a grin: "To be honest, among the twelve counties in Qinghe County, each one is worse than the last. The situation in our Qinglin County is considered good."
Only then will it become clear.
While talking, the group arrived in front of the city gate.
Fang Zhixing looked up and saw that the thick wall was covered with mottled marks. The color of the stone wall was solemn and dignified, all of which revealed its vicissitudes and eternity.
There are guards guarding the city gates, and refugees will definitely not be allowed to enter the city.
Everyone filed into the city.
"My lord, the county magistrate, returns to the city, and everyone who is idle should stay out of the way."
The leading officer opened the way in front, and pedestrians on the street retreated to the roadside.
The convoy was flowing smoothly.
Fang Zhixing sat on his horse and looked around the streets and buildings in the city.
I saw that the layout of the entire city was very regular, with streets and alleys intersecting vertically, like a chessboard.
The main street is paved with bluestone, simple and elegant, spacious and tidy.
However, there are many narrow alleys between the buildings in the city, criss-crossing and confusing like a maze, making people want to explore.
The buildings on both sides of the street are simple but somewhat beautiful. Most of them are wooden houses with eaves sticking out, leaving only a sliver of sky visible.
After a while, everyone arrived at the county government office.
Luo Peiyun went to rest on his own, and his entourage was immediately dismissed.
Ding Zhigang took Fang Zhixing to the backyard school field.
He introduced: "Brother Fang, the school ground is where we usually train. The yamen and the infantry under my leadership are all trained here. From now on, the three hundred archers under your control will also be trained here."
Fang Zhixing nodded to express his understanding.
Ding Zhigang added: "The training cycle for government officials is every ten days, and usually they do not occupy the school grounds for a long time, nor do they need to live in military buildings.
The training of infantry is relatively intensive, with three days of small training and five days of one training. Infantry must live in the barracks and are not allowed to ask for leave without special circumstances.
Your archers are all new recruits who were recruited not long ago. The training intensity may be more intense at ordinary times, so you must be mentally prepared. "
Fang Zhixing asked: "Who was in charge of guiding the training before the Archer Battalion?"
Ding Zhigang replied: "That man's name is Gao Daxing, we all call him Lao Gao. He used to be a hunter and his archery skills are very good. However, he is already over sixty years old and his eyesight is dim. He can only teach others based on experience. Tomorrow, I will I will introduce him to you, if you don’t like him, let him retire early.”
Fang Zhixing understood and said: "Brother Laoding is here."
"What are you talking about? Don't be so polite to me."
Ding Zhigang laughed, waved and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to see where you live."
Only then will you know that nothing is impossible.
The two quickly arrived at the military shelter.
The military quarters are divided into two areas, the front and rear. The front area is a collective dormitory, dedicated to the infantry, while the rear area is a separate small courtyard, dedicated to the commanders and training officers.
Ding Zhigang said carefully: "Luo Kezhao and I have bought houses in the city and have our own mansions. We usually don't live here."
He patted Fang Zhixing on the shoulder and said with a smile: "When you have money, you can also buy a house in the city, marry a few wives and concubines, and settle down."
Fang Zhixing smiled and said, "That's great. I might have to ask Brother Ding to help me choose a good house in the future."
"It's easy to talk about."
Ding Zhigang happily agreed, then opened the door of a separate courtyard and said with a smile: "Go in and have a look. If you are not satisfied, I will take you to see the other rooms."
Fang Zhixing immediately went in for a walk.
This villa is quite spacious, with bright bedrooms, a spacious living room, and a separate kitchen and toilet.
Fang Zhixing didn't have high demands and said with a smile: "Brother Ding has good taste. I'll live here."
"good!"
Ding Zhigang likes people who are happy and cheerful. He thought about it and added: "Tomorrow, I will arrange for a maid and a cook to come over for you. The maid will take care of your daily life, and the cook will cook for you. In short, you will not need anything in life." worry."
Fang Zhixing couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Finally, he felt treated like a master in this world.
The life of ordinary people is nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea. A life of panic is nothing more than a few taels of silver.
However, the master is freed from such tediousness and fatigue, and is free to do what he really wants to do.
