Teacher is too tough

Chapter 84 Tell a Story to the State Shepherd

The great man is the country and the people.

The new Jingzhou state pastor named Fang Zongyuan, whose name is Wending, heard this, and his heart was full of pride in an instant.

In fact, his life is not lacking in passion, or enthusiasm.

He was born in a poor family, but he was gifted and intelligent, and became famous at a young age. He participated in the children's examination, the township examination, the general examination, the palace examination, passed all the tests, and finally reached the center of the imperial court.

He has been an official in the court for nearly 30 years, and he has always maintained great passion and enthusiasm, setting his heart for the world and life for the people.

This time he was appointed as the prefect of Jingzhou, which was an innovative move by the imperial court, and also a good strategy that he participated in promoting and implementing to govern the country and save the people.

In recent years, the government has collapsed, especially in places far away from the capital. Natural and man-made disasters have caused countless people to suffer. However, rectifying the government cannot be achieved overnight.

The Daren Dynasty has been established for more than 300 years, and the local rich and nobles have become an unstoppable trend. They form cliques and cliques, obediently obeying and secretly disobeying the decrees issued by the imperial court, and their status in the various state capitals is indeed very important. Gouging out directly like a cancerous tumor.

Severe illness requires strong medicine, and strong medicine is inevitably accompanied by side effects. Not to mention whether the court can resist it, in the end, it is the people at the bottom who bear the harm.

Fang Zongyuan, who is nearing the end of his life, spent all these years with like-minded colleagues, researching and discussing how to eliminate the moths of these dynasties without breaking the bones.

After racking his brains to think of various countermeasures, and after repeated deduction and verification, he still believes that this matter should not be attacked in a hurry, but that it is safest to simmer slowly. This requires the patience and skill of water grinding.

So he advised the court to select a group of outstanding ministers to serve in the state capitals, and to wear away the malignant tumors hanging on the dynasty bit by bit.

His political opponents took this opportunity to suggest that he should also be in charge of the ruling party. They praised him for the first time. Moving away from the center of the imperial court, no matter how disgusting words can be said by pinching one's nose.

The most important thing about the method they proposed to the imperial court was to send candidates to be in charge of the state capitals. Political opponents included him in it, and it was hard to refuse. Will the imperial court still adopt this strategy?
So he came to Jingzhou.

Although it was the result of a political enemy's secret tricks, he knew that there was still hidden in this incident Lord Shoufu's intentions for his school entrance examination.

This trip to the post, he is not lacking in ambition and confidence, but he has not been able to think thoroughly about how to govern, how to suppress and weaken the rich and powerful in Jingzhou without causing backlash. To put it bluntly, there is no specific clue yet, so after arriving in Jingzhou City, instead of going straight to the government office, he first came to the riverside to relax.

When I saw Li Qingshi for the first time, it was not difficult to tell from his clothes and the tattered long sword in his hand that he was a down-and-out ranger.

From Kyoto to Jingzhou, along the way, I did not know how many such knights of the rivers and lakes I met. They were young, with immature faces, and young bodies full of restless blood. Most of them lacked a clear concept and understanding of the rivers and lakes. Dive into it.

To put it bluntly, they are just a group of impulsive youngsters with green shirts and swords in their arms. They not only lack knowledge, but also lack thinking about their own lives.

However, after listening to Li Qingshi singing the song of the rolling Yangtze River in the east, Fang Zongyuan had to look at him with admiration, so he stepped forward to talk to him. The posture of the younger generation abandoning martial arts and following literature.

When he heard the phrase "The great man is for the country and the people", he, who has never lacked passion and enthusiasm for life and work, felt a little emotional at that moment.

It was the first time he heard someone interpret the word "Xia" in this way, and the pattern and mind revealed in this sentence made him feel more confidant.

He suddenly became interested, and asked further: "What is the explanation for this statement?"

Li Qingshi waved the skinny and skinny figure away from his heart, turned his head and glanced at him, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a warm smile, he didn't look like a bad person no matter what.

But among the bad guys he met, Daoist Hongyang, Lu Yuanting, Lu Qi, which one doesn't look like a good guy?

He felt that he was no longer the rookie living in Baitou Village. He had walked from the mountain village to the county seat, from the county seat to the county seat, and now from the county seat to the state city. Will not do it again.

The middle-aged uncle in front of him doesn't look like a warrior, but people in Jianghu are the best at disguising, especially those with ulterior motives, so Li Qingshi does not rule out the possibility that he is actually a warrior, even if he is really not a warrior, but a literati and poet, then What does he mean by asking this?
In Li Qingshi's heart, Liu Fengliu, the number one expert in the world, is a great hero. Isn't it for the country and the people to kill corrupt officials and relieve the victims?

It's just that as a veteran of the rivers and lakes who already has a few eyes, he can't say this. If the middle-aged uncle sells him and goes to the government to sue him for treason, won't he just cause trouble for himself?

So he also showed Fang Zongyuan a friendly smile and said: "You can explain it as you want, I can't say one, two, three."

Fang Zongyuan was a little surprised, but when young people of this age have the opportunity to show off their martial arts or show off their knowledge, they will always talk to satisfy their vanity, even if they are deep-minded, they will just do it more calmly. Li Qingshi's calmness and stability are extremely rare.

This young man obviously knows how to communicate with people, and he is most refrained from exchanging shallow words and deep truths.

With Fang Zongyuan's talent and learning, he certainly has his own understanding of this sentence. When he heard Li Qingshi say this sentence, the first thing that appeared in his mind was Li Huaigu, the founder of the Daren Dynasty.

All the people of the Daren Dynasty knew that Li Huaigu, the patriarch of Ren, started in the wilderness.

It was also the great achievements of Emperor Ren Taizu that made the world peaceful for more than 300 years.

Of course this can be called a great chivalrous man, serving the country and the people.

But Fang Zongyuan felt that the world is different now, and the current situation is also different, and it is impossible for someone like Taizu to appear again.

Immediately after, what appeared in his mind was the name "Liu Fengliu", known as the number one expert in the world.

For a while, he came up with some wild and bold ideas. For example, if there were more people like Liu Fengliu, would it be a good way to solve the problem by killing all the rich and powerful who lay on the dynasty and sucked blood? Method?
He took this sudden idea to heart, and planned to explore the operable space carefully in the future.

Fang Zongyuan looked at this unusual young man in front of him. He met by chance and didn't know anyone. He thought it might be a good idea to have a few more conversations and express his thoughts. The stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade. Maybe the other party has some ingenious remarks , can make myself suddenly enlightened.

He turned to look at the refugees by the river who were trying their luck to catch fish with simple tools, and sighed, "Natural disasters have occurred frequently in recent years, resulting in countless refugees. With the rich background of our Daren Dynasty for more than 300 years, this should not have been the case. However, there are countless rich and powerful families in the states and counties, with deep roots, but short-sightedness. They don't want to help the court to rectify the chaos. The world will be clearer, but unfortunately this is not an easy task."

He looked at Li Qingshi and said: "Why do you say that, can my little brother understand the truth?"

Li Qingshi looked him up and down, a little speechless.

He felt that his meaning of not wanting to be disturbed had been expressed almost clearly enough, but this person was still rambling on and on. He didn't even have this bit of vision at such an age, no wonder he was worthless.

Fang Zongyuan would never have imagined that he believed that the young man in front of him was a down-and-out ranger, but the down-and-out ranger in his eyes felt that he was a depressed, useless scholar who had achieved nothing at his age and could only talk about it.

No wonder Li Qingshi thought so, how could a big man have the leisure time to go to the riverside and chat with a stranger whom he had never met before?

Li Qingshi knows that there are many friends and many roads in the world, but he will go to Baiyu Villa with Qin Bowen tomorrow. This trip is really unpredictable, so this meeting is not in the mood to make friends at all, and he intends to say goodbye and leave after a few perfunctory words .

Since you have no eyesight, can I walk?

But just when he was about to speak, looking at the middle-aged scribe in front of him with a face of worrying about the country and the people, he suddenly thought of Liu Beidou, his master.

Inexplicably, he wondered in his heart, when Lao Liu wandered around the rivers and lakes, did he also have this kind of situation where he was underappreciated, so he could only confide his thoughts to strangers he met in order to express his feelings?
With Lao Liu's shabby appearance, he must have been rejected thousands of miles away many times. Did he feel sad and lost at that time?

So Li Qingshi changed his mind, thought for a while and said, "Let me tell you a story."
