In the Years When I Was a Father

After the banquet had gone, Qi Sheng returned to the backyard to rest, and all officials in Ningzhou had to go back to their homes one after another.

“Sir Chen, what is the origin of our new governor?” Liu Xu frowned as he asked Qi Sheng to come to the county of Yangshui to kill chickens and monkeys.

Chen Wenbing also frowned, and was angrily said: “I said that this plan would not work, and now not only did not test out the attitude of Master Qi, but also put a lot of eye drops on Ningzhou people in front of him, in case Master Qi is really angry , Chopped those who caught yesterday directly, and it will be our people in Ningzhou who are suffering! “

Liu Xu was disdainful. If that was the case, it would just allow him to grasp the handle and squeeze out the person transferred from outside. Ningzhou still wanted them people who were here to manage.

However, he smiled and persuaded: “This does not mean that Master Qi has ordered it. If he is so careful, we will know as soon as possible and we can make plans for the people of Ningzhou.”

Chen Wenbing also wanted to argue one or two more, but it also made sense to think about Liu Xu’s words, and he didn’t want to say more, waved his hand to say goodbye to Liu Xu.

The appointment of Qi Sheng, the new prefect, brought Ningzhou to the ranks of the officials and the people, especially the boss of Qingmu Village, Liu Boss, who now has a headache and wants to go to jail for the second and third.

“Brother Liu, he is not safe now. If the dog officer who killed a thousand knives was killed directly, how could our orphans and widows live! Woo …”

“Zhuangzi, please save Dongzi, you brothers who grew up together, if Dongzi has a length of three and two short, I am old and undead and will not live! This day’s murder …”

The second-in-law and three-in-law daughter-in-law and the old mother ran to the boss Liu to cry after hearing that they were arrested, and a group of old and young men who were also arrested also ran to plead.

Mr. Liu sighed and said again: “They are my brothers, I will naturally find a way to save people, just … but now they have been put in the prisons, and the people who went to investigate said that the officers and soldiers escorted have been There is no plan to leave the stationed in the government office, but now he is bravely trying to save, fearing that it will damage more brothers. “

Unfortunately, the family members involved in the case did not even listen to Liu’s explanation, crying and shouting that his man / son would be tortured to death.

Qi Sheng didn’t know the crying and wailing of countless family members of Qingmu Village. After a good night’s sleep, he came to the office of the Fuya government office.

Looking at the volumes of official documents, Qi Sheng was speechless. “How many silvers are there in the warehouse now? How much is left in the grain?”

The clerk in charge of the house got up and said, “Go back to Master, there are fifty thousand two hundred silver in the storehouse and thirty thousand stone of grain.”

Qi Sheng also asked: “How much land was checked some time ago, and if it is evenly distributed to each household, how many acres can be allocated to each household?”

After thinking for a long time, the household official answered: “When I returned to the adult, the villain verified that if it was evenly distributed to each household, one household could be divided into about one acre.”

Qi Sheng frowned, so few, how to let the people who are mainly farming rely on farming to feed themselves!

Shaking his head, Qi Sheng didn’t struggle anymore, and the way could always be figured out. In the following days, Qi Sheng was looking at the county records of each county in Ningzhou to sort out the detailed resources and characteristics of each county.

“Madam, I will visit outside in a few days. You take good care of your home. If you have any trouble, please find Wei Qianhu and Hou Tongzhi. I have greeted them.”

Qi Sheng was served by Wang’s clothing, and he casually stated his plans for a few days.

After listening to this, Wang’s voice was not calm, and he was a little worried: “Master, now Ningzhou is so uneven. If you have any problems, you will have to verify in the past, why go for a trip in person!”

Qi Sheng laughed: “Because of those bandits, the husband can only shrink in this government office in Ningzhou? Madam, don’t worry, they have great skills. Besides, there are dozens of soldiers following me. . “

A total of six male brothers were Qi Sheng’s guards who were specially selected for training when he was in Pingzhou earlier. This time Qi Sheng went out to bring four of them specifically, just in case.

The Wangs knew that official duties were important, and they dared not persuade them, but they couldn’t help but worry.

In the early years, this person did not understand the style and was serious and stereotyped. She respected the person as she was the same day. Now that her children and children are all in a family, this person has become gentle and considerate. In addition to respecting him as before, the Wangs are also born The same emotions, I thought it was a bit jealous because of the person who cares more about Liu’s a few days ago. It’s embarrassing to think about it. She is now a grandmother’s generation, even like a young daughter-in-law. Learn to fight for jealousy!

The Wang family sent Qi Sheng out of the house with some concern, and looked at the Liu family, who also cared about it, and said, “Go back. The old man is a big husband who stands up to the ground. He has never been afraid of these little children.

Liu’s body was blessed, and he respectfully replied: “Yes, the concubine understood.”

When Liu returned to his yard, he looked at his sullen son and said: “Your father went out to do business, and now the Ningzhou gangsters are rampant and dangerous everywhere. If the master doesn’t take you there, he is worried that you will endure hardship. Dare to make a face to your dad! Hey boy, it’s really brave! “

Qi Xiuli raised his index finger and brushed his nose, feeling how his mother and father were now turning toward daddy.

Qi Xiuli was wronged, and it was obviously that Dad had promised earlier. Besides, he also practiced some martial arts with the big brother in recent years. He believed that there was no problem in protecting himself from robbers.

Liu raised his eyebrows, watching his son who still dared to express his grievances, continued to train: “Dare not to accept it! The lord is really too fond of you now, if your temper was a few years ago, it would be nice if your kid didn’t bloom! If you do, go back and review your homework. If the master leaves during this period, your progress will dare to fall, and wait for your father to come back and reward you with a board! “

Qi Xiuli looked at her increasingly fierce mother and hurriedly resigned. Since she could not go out, she could only stay at home and study hard.

Although Dad has gotten better tempered in recent years, Qi Xiuli didn’t dare to test his father’s bottom line when he was studying because the memory of being a child was too deep.

**

It was a month after Qi Sheng came back. This time it was quite peaceful to go out. Apart from being tracked occasionally, no half of the bandits came. Qi Sheng was still a little puzzled. He thought that this time the Qingzhai people Will intercept halfway.

Perhaps Qi Sheng didn’t expect that Chen Wenbing, the “rapist” who stayed in Fuya, helped him indirectly.

Chen Wenbing has been in Ningzhou for many years, and it ’s not easy to say that these big bandits still knew one or two. After secretly investigating their situation, they found that although they were imprisoned for work, they had not been beaten and ill-treated for no reason. And even eat enough after working honestly.

Chen Wenbing feels that this newly appointed senior Qi should also be a kind-hearted person. When he feels relieved, he secretly spread the news to the Qingmuzhai people, so that they must not act excessively.

That old boss Liu didn’t want to take the chance against Qi Sheng. Now he sees the brothers are okay, and even eats three meals a day. Seeing that the family members are no longer noisy, he orders the brothers to be restless.

After Qi Sheng came back, he did not stop. He had already thought about the improvement plan along the way, so he came to the Fuya office and directly ordered his hand to subpoena.

Liuyunzhai.

“Boss, that adult has just issued a new announcement!” The head of Liuyunzhai San, who went to explore Qi Sheng’s latest news, shouted excitedly.

Xie Yun put down the letter in his hand and motioned to the three heads to elaborate.

Tian Er and Tian Dang, who are sitting below, are also curious. After following Qi Sheng for a month, they all want to know what will happen to this new prefect.

San Dangjia remembered the latest news with some joy and said, “Master Qi issued two announcements this morning. One is to recruit people to build roads in the local area. Each person has 30 articles per day, and he also manages two dry meals! Two That is to say, people in Ningzhou can use the surplus mountain herbs in their homes to replace rice at the Zhifu Yamen. Boss, you said this is good news! “

Before Xie Yun could speak, the irritated Tian Erji said aloud: “Thirty essays a day, but also two dry meals! Really fake?”

Xie Yun was a little surprised when he heard the speech, but he still asked: “Is there any way to say where to repair?”

The four heads replied: “Say, two of them are official roads leading to Xuzhou and Yanzhou. Everyone knows that our official road has not been repaired for many years. Reluctant to come to Ningzhou, there are six other roads leading to townships and townships. This is the name of the township township I wrote down. “

Xie Yun took the text recorded by the four masters and looked at the counties, cities, towns and villages of each road in detail, and finally finally felt relieved. The location of each road and the situation of Ningzhou are indeed true. I want to come to this Qi dynasty. effort.

Tian Erji saw no one to bother him, and was anxious: “This treatment is really fake, don’t let us finish the job without paying wages, now it’s good, and two meals, it is good to have two bowls of thin.”

Before Tian Er was not a bandit, because there were few homes, he ran to work for the landlords and wealthy businessmen. Unfortunately, he only had ten words a day to pay, and he only managed a porridge. , Gritted his teeth and endured selling his life to work, so when the wages were paid, the main family found reasons to deduct it.

Xie Yun knew that his brothers, not to mention how fierce and disgusting they are now, were earlier in the presence of rich landlords and grandchildren than grandchildren in order to have a meal. They are all people who want to live alive, but this world can always push good people into desperation.

Xie Yun said: “There should be no fakes. He dared to declare to the people of Ningzhou that if he turned against him, he might not want his official voice!”

Mr. Tian saw this when he saw the boss, and he said, “The boss, you said we …”

Xie Yun looked at his brothers under his eyes, smiled and said: “Go if you want to go, just look at this Master Qi’s speech!”

The brothers were excited when they saw the boss, and anxiously hurried back to change to work in coarse clothes, and then smiled, so that people who did not know his details would not see him as a bandit.
