Chapter 559 No way
When she got up in the morning, Zheng Wuniang was fully dressed and asked Mrs. Guan to ask for leave.

"Slave out to do some shopping."

"Go!"

Zheng Wuniang was very responsible. After arriving at Yang's house, she watched Zhou Ning all day long.If you have nothing to do, discuss with others how to bring up children.Therefore, Mrs. Guan felt that this was a worry-free woman.

"Zheng Wuniang, are you going out?"

Zhang Siniang stood under the eaves, timidly.

"Yes!" Zheng Wuniang smiled at her.

Zhang Siniang said: "Come back and bring me half a catty of jerky, okay?" As she spoke, she handed over the copper coins.

"Okay!" Zheng Wuniang spoke very well.

Zhang Siniang walked slowly down the corridor with a smile on her face.

Twisting his butt left and right, any normal man would be furious when he saw it.

Yiniang watched all this with cold eyes not far away.

In this backyard, except for her, Mrs. Guan, and Zheng Wuniang, the other women all regard Yang Xuan as a treasure, and wish they could swallow it up.

"Swallow? It depends on you waiting for this ability!" Yiniang put her hands in her cuffs, her eyes turned, and she looked at Zhou Ning's belly, her eyes gradually became hot.

"Lang Jun's child is about to be born."

After going out the gate, a gust of cold wind blew, Zheng Wuniang looked around, and then went out to the left.

In early spring, northern Xinjiang is still cold, but you can feel a touch of spring from time to time.

Zheng Wuniang went to the temple in the city and found the Zhike monk, "Do you have the peace talisman for Nuqiu?"

Zhike monk said: "Your peace talisman has to be enshrined in front of the Buddha for ninety-nine and eighty-one days, and the time has not yet come. By the way, who did you ask for the peace talisman for? If you ask for it for yourself, then there is no need to do so."

Zheng Wuniang said: "The slave begs for the child."

"The child's mind and soul are not yet complete, so it is necessary to use the peace talisman to suppress the evil spirits." The Zhike monk led her in.

After entering the main hall, Zheng Wuniang knelt down slowly and recited silently when she saw that the peace talisman she had prayed for was enshrined in front of the Buddha.

"Pray for the Buddha to protect the lady and give birth to the child safely. I pray for the Buddha to protect the child. It must be smart and healthy..."

After praying, Zheng Wuniang got up to thank the Zhike monk.

"If you want to protect the child, you'd better bring it to the Buddha." Zhike Monk looked at a jade pendant around her waist and said with a smile.

The jade pendant was given by Zhou Ning.Entering the backyard of the Yang family, if you don't have a decent accessory, you will be ashamed to go out.The jade pendant given by Zhou's daughter is naturally of good quality, and ordinary middle-class people would be reluctant to buy it.

The Zhike monk saw it, and his attitude became more cordial.

After leaving the temple, Zheng Wuniang saw two beggars squatting outside shivering, so she said, "Where did you come from?"

A beggar raised his head, his dark face was full of anticipation, "I'll come from Wangu County."

Zheng Wuniang was surprised, "Wangu County, why did Wangu County come here?"

"There was a rain in early spring, and many people drowned!" Another beggar raised his head and said, then shrank his neck, shivering from the cold wind.

"There's no food distributed?" Zheng Wuniang asked.

"No!" The former beggar was indignant, "Push this way, chase there, no one cares about us.

Not to mention food, there is no place to live, those people are blue from the cold outside, no one cares, they get firewood to burn by themselves.

At this time, the firewood is wet and full of smoke.A group of people warmed up around the fire, and after a while, they were all black, only their teeth were white and yellow. "

"Is that so?"

Zheng Wuniang touched a few copper coins and came out, "The porridge will be given out in a few days, you just wait at the city gate. Take the money, go buy some cakes, and save some food."

"Thank you lady!"

The two beggars couldn't wait to take the copper coins and almost fought.

"This girl is rich!" A beggar pointed at Zheng Wuniang's back and said, "How about...grab one?"

The other beggar hesitated for a moment, "This is a temple! I'm afraid that if the Buddha hears it, there will be a thunderbolt."

Zheng Wuniang went to buy jerky and returned to Yang's house.

"Thank you." Zhang Siniang took the jerky and tasted a piece, "Sure enough, it's still delicious."

Zheng Wuniang went to see Yiniang.

"Yiniang, earlier I met two beggars, who said they were from Wangu County, and that there was a flood in Wangu County, and many people had no food or clothing."

Yang Xuan explained that if the servants at home go out and hear any news, it is important to come back and report it.

Yi Niang was taken aback, "Why haven't I heard of it?"

She got up, "Where are those two beggars?"

"At the temple."

"Come here!" Yiniang knew that such things were not easy, so she called a few guards to go.

When the two beggars met the guards of the boss of Chenzhou, they were scared out of their wits.

Later, the message came.

"conclusive."

Yiniang sent someone to send a message to the front, and then called Zheng Wuniang.

"You've made a meritorious service today."

Zheng Wuniang glanced at Zhou Ning, who was walking in the yard, with hope in her eyes.

This woman only has that child in her eyes, but she is also an idiot.

"However, be careful next time you go out!"

Zheng Wuniang was puzzled, and Yi Niang said, "Do you know that you exposed your wealth today, and those two beggars want to rob you?"

Zheng Wuniang: "I, I am kind!"

"Be kind, you have to pay attention to methods in many cases, otherwise kindness will bring disaster to yourself." Yiniang warned.

But looking back, she rewarded Zheng Wuniang with a hundred dollars.

In the prefecture, Yang Xuan got the news, glanced at the map, and said: "Wangu County is adjacent to Decheng County in Xuanzhou. The place where the flood occurred is in the middle of the two counties. It belongs to the three-way zone. But the flood is like this, why is the place?" No disaster relief? Why didn't you report it?"

He was a little annoyed, Lu Qiang said, "I'm afraid the magistrate was negligent."

"Human life is at stake, can it be neglected?" Yang Xuan's face was slightly cold, "I just happen to be going to inspect the place, so let's go and have a look."

Lu Qiang was getting older and had less taboos, so he directly asked: "Is it okay to go out at this time for the lady in your family to give birth? Or, I should go!"

"There is still some time." Mentioning Zhou Ning and the child, Yang Xuan couldn't help smiling, "Speaking of which, I was reprimanded before the child was born."

Lu Qiang was happy, "For this child, Shi Jun did not go to Chang'an at the end of last year. This kind father has a heart."

"Child!" Yang Xuan knew that what he cared about was not only the child, but also, his mother.

Cao Ying said: "The local officials are cunning. If there is a big fanfare, I am afraid they will make preparations early."

This Yang Xuan knew, "I will bring less people, and visit in casual clothes."

……

There is still no green in the early spring in northern Xinjiang.

On the vast field, at this moment, a few birds can be seen probing their heads.

"The stinging sting has not yet arrived, and the insects are hiding in the ground, and the birds have not eaten when they come."

Yang Xuan pointed to the bird and said.

"Lang Jun, what do they eat?" Jiang He'er, who was pretending to be a book boy, asked.

"Eat everything. In addition, some birds hid food last year." Yang Xuan dismounted, walked to the edge of the field, and watched carefully.

"What are you looking at, sir?" Jiang He'er was not interested in this place, "There seems to be a roadside wine shop in front, let's go and have a look!"

"Don't be noisy!"

Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the wilderness, taking a long breath.

"I'm watching the atmosphere."

Jiang He'er praised: "I traveled all over the world with my master back then, and I also met some hopeful people. With just one glance, I can tell the harvest of this field this year. Either fallow, or burn more plant ash."

Yang Xuan closed his eyes and rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"How?" Jiang He'er asked.

"Did not see it."

Jiang He'er rolled his eyes, "I'm hungry."

There is a wine shop in front.

It's called a restaurant, but it's just a shed on the side of the road and a few benches.

The boss was a middle-aged man. When he saw Yang Xuan and the two leading the horse, he came out with a limp, and cupped his hands, "What do you two want to eat?"

Yang Xuan glanced at it, it was pancakes, there was a small stove next to it, and a clay pot was steaming on it, and one could smell the smell of pig meat, but the smell was very strong.

"Two pieces of pancakes."

"No broth?" The man was a little disappointed.

"No."

Jiang Heer frowned.

Anyway, her family background is quite good, and the master she follows is not short of money, even if she travels in the rivers and lakes, she never eats such fishy food.

"No mutton?" Jiang He'er asked after sitting down.

The man smiled wryly, "So there was!"

"now what?"

"No flood washed away."

Yang Xuan asked: "Is there still a flood?"

"That's right!" the man sighed, "There's been a lot of water in the early spring, it's evil. So no one was prepared, and the whole guy was rushed away."

"Where did the flood go?" Seeing the man looking at him, Yang Xuan said, "I have a classmate in Wangu, and I haven't seen him come to study in spring. The master was worried that something might happen to him, so he asked me to come and see."

"That classmate of yours is near the place where the three don't care?" the man asked.

"Yes! I heard from him that the place was close to Xuanzhou in the past."

"Hey! In this flood, one guy has flooded six villages with more than 2000 people! What a tragedy!"

"Is there no disaster relief in the state?" Yang Xuan asked.

"Hey! In the state, Mr. Yang may have forgotten about us Wangu!"

"It shouldn't be!" Jiang He'er retorted: "Mr. Yang is doing well!"

This girl actually said that I am nice... Yang Xuan glanced at Jiang He'er.

"Whether it's good or not, Wan Gu also met in Mingfu, how do we know?"

"Even if the state does not provide disaster relief, what about the county?" Yang Xuan asked.

"County..." The man rubbed his cheeks and exhaled, "It is said that Fang Shaofu opened a warehouse to release grain, and was scolded by Mingfu for disposal."

"We still have to hurry." Yang Xuan stood up, "He'er, let's go."

"Yes, sir." Jiang He'er, dressed as a book boy, went to lead the horse.

Behind him, the man said quietly: "Officials who do things for the people will be unlucky, and officials who don't do things for the people will go straight to the sky. What's the reason for this?"

The two of Yang Xuan arrived at the county seat of Wangu County later.

There is no problem with Lu Yin, it was Cao Ying who supervised it personally.

In the county at this moment, Lu Jiao, the county magistrate of Wangu County, had a cold face, "Why did Fang Lin take people there?"

The county magistrate Feng Ji rubbed his hands, put his hands on the charcoal basin to roast, raised his head and said, "It is said that he took away the food stored at home, and bought a lot, and pulled a dozen carts, ready to go to the top Over there in Yangcun."

"He's trying to gain fame!" Lu Jiao was furious. "The six villages have always belonged to unknown lands. When they wanted to gain benefits, Xuanzhou said they were under their own rule. When there was no benefit, they pushed it to Wan Gu. If this is the case, why do we Want to take over this?"

The duty room was a bit dim, and Feng Ji's face was a little red under the charcoal fire, "Mingfu, if Fang Lin wins the hearts of the people, once Yang Shijun finds out, it will be a credit!"

"Bitch dog slave!"

Lu Jiao gritted his teeth and said: "If he does this, Xuanzhou will definitely say that those six villages are under my rule, Wan Gu, and they will still be our fault. In the early spring, if such a catastrophe occurs under the rule, The old man's assessment this year must be down!
This idiot cheated the old man!

Let people go, first seal up Fang's house. "

Feng Ji said: "The meaning of Mingfu is to worry about Fang Lin's follow-up..."

"The old man ordered him to stay at home, but he dared to go out. This kind of person is so bold that he won't seal up his house... If he becomes a seller to help the disaster, we will be in big trouble for you and me!"

"I'm afraid Shijun will be enraged by thunder." Feng Ji shuddered.

"The envoy..." Lu Jiao couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he thought of how many times Yang Xuan had worn small shoes for him when he arrived in Taiping, "The best way to do this is to stay still. The state has nothing to do with us."

But Fang Lin's move took the responsibility.

"How about the old man go after him?" Feng Ji got up and said.

"Go, old man, you stay behind!" Lu Jiao said impatiently, "Get your horses ready!"

……

"Is Fang Shaofu at home?"

A man and a woman came from the Fang family.

"Aye went to Dingyang Village." Fang Lin's son greeted the guests.

"Has the county provided disaster relief?" Yang Xuan asked.

"No, my father took all the food at home and bought a lot."

Yang Xuan's heart moved slightly.

"The two of us came to Wangu to visit our friends. I don't want my friends to be away. This hungry and cold person, can you give me a cake?"

He couldn't listen to one side's words, so he wanted to test it out.

A responsible and kind-hearted family should not refuse to offer a piece of cake to someone who asks for help like this.

Fang Lin's son hesitated.

Could it be that it is just fishing for fame?

Yang Xuan originally thought that he had discovered a capable person, and he would investigate it again to see if it could be reused, but he didn't expect...

Fang Lin's son scratched his head, "There is no wheat noodles at home, you two drink water first, and wait for me to buy some."

"Food at home..." Jiang He'er felt incredible. In the Southern Zhou Dynasty, even an upright official would not be able to give away all his family's food!

Fang Lin's son blushed, "I still have to sell some things, you two sit down!"

This man actually emptied all the money in the family.

Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Okay."

The current development speed of Chenzhou is somewhat astonishing, but there is obviously a problem: the ability of officials cannot keep up with the speed of development, and they have become a dragging burden.

How to change all this?
Yang Xuan felt that on the one hand, it is necessary to teach officials to keep pace with the times and learn new management methods; secondly, the survival of the fittest, so that those officials who don't do things or can't do things must either go down or go home to eat old rice.

From Fang Lin's current point of view, he has a sense of responsibility.

A sense of responsibility is the foundation of everything. Even if a person is less capable, as long as he has this foundation, he can be trained.

"Hey! What are you waiting for?"

After a long time, Fang Lin's son was about to enter the house with the things he had just bought, but he got into an argument with someone.

Several subordinate officials stepped forward.

"Young Lord Haojiao learned that Young Master Fang violated the order to go out, Ming Mansion was furious, and ordered us to seal the door of Fang's house. From now on, no one in the family is allowed to go out!"

Fang Lin's son knew that the incident had happened, he straightened his neck and said, "My father didn't dereliction of duty, why can't he go out? Today I want to see who dares to seal the Fang family's gate!"

The subordinate staff laughed grimly, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you don't know about it? Your father offended the Ming Mansion, and the Ming Mansion said that they wanted Fang Lin, that bitch slave, to be discredited and resigned from his post. You have a good life, Mr. Xiao Lang. Yes! What kind of official airs are you putting on with us? Come on, Feng!"

Several subordinate officials rushed forward, punched Fang Lin's son until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and kicked him in.

"close the door!"

The leading subordinate shouted.

The women and children in the mansion came out and howled when they saw this.

The door was slowly pulled shut from the outside.

Just as it was about to close, a foot came in.

With a light flick, the door opened again.
