Chapter 152 Rename

On the outskirts of Hengshan Township, in an unnamed barren valley, a fire was raging, billowing black smoke rose into the sky, and drifted away with the wind.

Standing above the barren valley, Duan Cheng saw the corpses of the enemies being thrown into the flames and burned to ashes, the hatred in his heart eased a little, and he burst into tears while speaking the barbaric language of dwarf wounds, as if to comfort the dead relatives.

Almost all his relatives died, only one young brother followed him.

After a long time, Shan Cheng stopped to murmur and wipe away his tears. Liu Jing asked slowly, "Brother Shan, what are your plans for the future?"

Shan Cheng shook his head. He grew up in the mountains. Now that his family has perished, he has become a lost dog. Regarding the future, apart from revenge, he is at a loss.

Liu Jing had expected it a long time ago, and said again: "If not, why not follow me to Ling County for the time being."

Shan Cheng already knew that Liu Jing was sent to be the county magistrate of Ling County not far from here, and Liu Jing was willing to take in this lost dog, so he was naturally willing in his heart, and immediately said loudly:

"Liu Jun, I know that there used to be a man named Jin Rixun in the Han Dynasty. He was a Hu'er in the north. Because he was loyal and respected the Emperor of Han, he not only served as a high-ranking official himself, but also benefited future generations. I decided to use him as the leader. What does Liu Jun think about changing the name to Shan Ridun as a role model?"

Liu Jing was startled for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Jin Riyi subjugated the country and imprisoned the Han court, but he was a general who made meritorious service and passed on the country to his heirs. He was famous in the world as a loyal and filial servant, and he was a servant of the seventh generation. How prosperous is it! Brother Shan has such ambition! , is really rare."

Having said this, he paused for a moment, and then Liu Jing continued: "Jin Rixun's name is Uncle Weng, since Brother Shan decides to change his name, he might as well take the word as well."

"Uncle Shan Ridang Shan Weng?" Shan Rideng nodded emphatically, and said, "Okay. From today on, I will be called Uncle Shan Ridn Shan Weng."

When Liu Jing returned to Hengshan Township, it was already noon, and he said to the villager who was always by his side: "In this battle, three people died in your Hengshan Township. They all died to defend their hometown. We must not chill the hearts of the families of the deceased."

The village coward nodded solemnly and said: "What Liu Jun said is that after the villain reports to the county government and gets approval, he will immediately issue a pension."

"How can the distant water save the near thirsty?" Liu Jing couldn't help frowning.

It would be too sad if the family of the deceased borrowed usury because they had no money to bury the deceased, and finally ruined the family.

"Although they didn't die for me, they were also ordered by me. I can't just sit idly by. Let's go to my house to collect money. The three deceased will each be given [-] yuan for burial expenses. , to solve the urgent need."

"This...?" The villager couldn't help being startled when he heard it, and he hesitated to answer.

Liu Jing showed displeasure and said, "What is this?"

The village coward didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and said "No" honestly.

Liu Jing then instructed: "The injured should also be well comforted. Those who are seriously injured should not spare the medicine. If you don't have enough money, you can ask me for it."

"promise."

The next day, Liu Jing's fleet set sail again to the south after being sent off by the officials and people of Hengshan Township. It only took one day to enter the boundary of Ling County.

The old scriptures of the Han Dynasty: "Pass the chariot to drive, hang the red clothes, and welcome to the state border." That is to say, the governor of the state and the governor of the state are appointed, and the subordinate officials of the governor of the governor should welcome the border of the state.This situation is not limited to the state department, the county government, and the county temple.

When Liu Jing went to Ling County this time, he did not take the official car, but took the waterway on his own ship. In addition, he didn't want to "work hard and mobilize the people", so he didn't let the county officials come to the county boundary to greet him.

The Xiang River in the section from Hengshan to Lingxian is even more tortuous than the waters in the section from Linxiang to Hengshan.

The Xiangshui runs through the entire territory of Ling County from south to north, the Chengshui of Lingling County flows to the west, the Leishui of Guiyang County flows to the east, and the three rivers merge into one in the north of the city wall of Ling County.There is also Zhongshui in the south.

There are four rivers in the territory of a mere county, and the water resources are more than abundant?This is why in ancient times, Emperor Yan Shennong would teach the people to sow grains here, and it became an important granary of Chu during the Warring States period. There is no way, the innate conditions are really good.

However, it is such a precious land. It is not good to build the county seat, but choose to build it in a low-lying area, so that "heavy rain and heavy waterlogging, light rain and small waterlogging, nine floods in ten years."

Every year, they are either repairing dams or building city walls, consuming a lot of manpower and material resources in vain.

In addition, Ling County is located at the intersection of the three counties, and there are occasional turmoil inside and outside, so a "Grannary of Chu" is actually included in the ranks of "Ju County" and regarded as a place that is not easy to govern.

Liu Jing's fleet sailed against the current, turning from the Xiangshui River to the Leishui River. The main ferry in Gainling County was located on the banks of the Leishui River in the east of the city.

The officials in Ling County received the news that Liu Jing was about to arrive early, and they went to Leishuijindu to meet him.

There are not only county officials waiting here for Liu Jing's arrival, but also a large number of Ling County scholars and civilians. After all, Liu Jing is a legend in Changsha County. Everyone is very curious and wants to see for themselves what Liu Jing looks like.

The county temple is roughly the same as the county government. The county officials are also headed by meritorious officials.

Then there are all the officials under the door headed by the master book, the master recorder, and the thief Cao, as well as the household, warehouse, field, gold, and law Caos.

The Gongcao of Ling County is named Gong Ying. He is over [-] years old, seven feet long, with straight eyes and straight nose. He has a heroic appearance and a bushy beard on his chin.

A man with a height of more than seven feet, a strong body, and a somewhat similar appearance to Gong Ying said: "Second brother, Liu..." Seeing Gong Ying staring at him fiercely, he quickly changed his words: "When will Tingjun come?" arrive?"

The county government office can be called the county temple, and it can also be called the county court, because the county magistrate has the name of the emperor.

"Shut up." Gong Ying rebuked angrily in a low voice.The speaker is his fourth younger brother, the soldier Cao Cao and Gong Wu, although he is only a chief official of Cao, he is actually in charge of the military affairs of a county.

Of course, although Gong Wu was brave, he was reckless. The reason why he was able to control the military power in the county was not because he had any special talents, but because of the blessing of his family.

Gong Wu's character is arrogant and domineering, no one takes it seriously, but he is afraid of his second brother, being scolded directly by Gong Ying, so he can only listen honestly, and at most complain a few words in his heart.

The person standing on the other side of Gong Ying said: "Fourth brother, if you talk too much, you will lose it. You are right."Its main duties are to maintain law and order in Jindu, inspect and supervise pedestrians. It is humble but powerful.

There are more than three officials in the Gong family. The eldest Gong Fei is the villager of Zhongshui Township, the fifth Gong Ge is the head of the pavilion, and there are five officials in the Gong family.
