Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 109: Three takes advantage of the other, that’s it.
After the promulgation of Qingxi County's official document on sea fishing, it did not cause much turmoil.

At most, it has caused mixed feelings for some people.

For example, the Chang family and the Zhong family both thought that their man was dead, but suddenly found that he was alive, but he became a key criminal wanted by the court.

There are no words to describe this complicated mood.

Under Chen Qingsi's instructions, the county government did not embarrass the relatives of the two families, but sent people to remind them that Chang Ning and Zhong Yuan were already important criminals wanted by the court, and asked them not to harbor criminals. Harboring criminals is the same crime as criminals, so that they can get the latest news. It's better for the reporting officer to handle it.

The implication is to tell them that Chang Ning and Zhong Yuanzhen should not hide in the county when they come back, and not have too much contact with them.

This will prevent the county government from making things difficult.

Everything else is as usual.

On this day, Chen Qingsi was handling official business at the county government office. Qingkong suddenly came to the front of the hall and said, "Langjun, Madam, if there is something urgent, please come over."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingsi immediately put down everything in his hands and walked quickly to the backyard of the county government office.

His wife was the most virtuous, never disturbing his work, and always supporting him silently.

Especially in the first few months when he first came to Qingxi County, which was the most difficult period, Xiao Miaochen had to go to the county school as a substitute teacher, and had to take care of the leaky county government, but he never said a bitter word.

When you are working, if you call yourself there, there must be something special.

While walking quickly, Chen Qingsi asked: "Didn't Madam say that she wanted to show off her books today?"

When I took office, I took office lightly and only brought a few books with me.

But for more than half a year, Xiao Miaochen has been sending some useful books from Yixing County to meet her husband's reading needs.

For some reason, the county government's study room has accumulated more than 1000 volumes over time.

Daily management of these more than 1000 volumes of books is no simple task.

The thousand-year history of China can be continued from generation to generation, and the inheritance of books and texts plays a vital role.

Xiao Miaochen is a book lover and always says, "The ancient books and texts left by our ancestors are all the product of their hard work. Never let the hard work of our ancestors be lost to the world because of a moment of negligence."

Qingkong said: "Madam was just reading in the yard. She didn't know what she saw, so she hurriedly sent her maid to look for her husband."

Come to the courtyard.

Xiao Miaochen came towards me with a book in his hand and said: "Look, Lang Jun, this is the note left by Liu Zhuo from the previous dynasty. Look, it seems to say that there is drought in autumn and cold in winter. Can Lang Jun remember how long it has not rained?" Already?"

Early this morning, I got up early and the weather was fine, so I took out the books in the study room to dry them with Qingkong, while I spent time reading in the shade.

Chen Qingsi doesn't like to read classics, but likes to read miscellaneous studies, saying that he can learn a lot of knowledge from miscellaneous studies.

Xiao Miaochen naturally met her husband's needs and sorted out the miscellaneous books in her collection for her husband to read.

Xiao Miaochen himself didn't like miscellaneous studies, but in order to be able to help at critical moments, he had been reading miscellaneous books with him.

Today when I was posting books, I found a miscellaneous manuscript written by Liu Zhuo of the Sui Dynasty.

Xiao Miaochen had heard of Liu Zhuo. He was a famous Confucian scholar in the Sui Dynasty and a master of physiognomy. He was respected as "a latecomer in Confucianism, a well-educated Confucian scholar, and incapable of surpassing his superiors." Kong Yingda and Gai Wenda, the great Confucians of the early Tang Dynasty, were his Protégé.

Xiao Miaochen immediately looked through it and found that the manuscript contained a lot of astronomical and meteorological knowledge, including some records of cold and heat phenomena.

Among them is autumn drought and winter cold.

Chen Qingsi looked at the manuscript in his hand, with a flash of shock in his eyes. A lot of the knowledge in the manuscript involved astronomy, and many of the things involved his knowledge blind spots, which put him, a time traveler, to shame.

Chen Qingsi thought about it carefully and found that the autumn rain in her memory was still at the beginning of autumn. There has been no heavy rain since then, and the occasional few drops can only wet the ground.On the contrary, there was a lot of rain in spring and summer, which irrigated the fields extremely well.

Xiao Miaochen said: "I don't know if it is true or not. I think that this autumn is no different from summer. It is even hotter than this summer. It is a bit abnormal. It is very similar to many phenomena described in this manuscript."

Chen Qingsi said: "No matter what, it is right to be more prepared. As an official, you must plan and consider in advance."

"Is it as recorded in this handwritten note that Hudu remembered his wife for her great service?"

As Chen Qingsi spoke, she hugged Xiao Miaochen and kissed her on the mouth, regardless of whether Qingkong was there or not.

Qingkong was not the girl in the same room. Her face turned red and she quickly turned around.

Xiao Miaochen shyly pushed her husband away.

Chen Qingsi walked towards the county government office with a smile.

It was almost dusk when we met, and all the officials would return to the county government office soon to report on their work. Chen Qingsi was not in a hurry to gather people to discuss the matter, but made a preparatory plan first.

In fact, Chen Qingsi started to prevent disasters when he took office.

The purpose of gathering people together, building county schools, and opening nursing homes is to avoid disasters.

It's just that God has mercy on the people of Muzhou. The weather has been good for several years, allowing the people to breathe a sigh of relief after the war.

However, God is merciful, but Chen Qingsi has to be on guard.

Because Qingxi County has no ability to withstand disasters, he has made a lot of preparations. Although it has been useless so far, he does not dare to gamble with God.

So despite the good harvest, he still asked Shi Wuzi to prepare some food to deal with the disaster that might come at any time.

After all, in his memory, Li Zhi was a very miserable emperor. After he came to the throne, there were constant natural disasters.

No one can be sure when the next wave of natural disasters will come.

But whether he comes or not, Chen Qingsi will not gamble on that probability.

If you can prepare in advance, why gamble with God with people's lives?

Chen Qingsi made many plans, and then wrote a letter to Master Xu Yu in Muzhou, informing him of the abnormal weather and asking him to make some preparations.

As dusk fell, the officials who had gone out returned one by one to report.

Chen Qingsi kept them here, held an extended meeting, described in detail his temporary preparatory plan, and said: "That's it for now. If there is anything to add later, I will notify you at short notice. Or if you have any opinions, you can also tell me. , I will adopt it at my discretion.”

This is a very level statement to adopt as appropriate.

Zheng Rong frowned and said, "We have a heavy workload, so the county magistrate simply added more tasks to us because of this fictitious matter. Isn't it too arbitrary?"

"Is it arbitrary?"

Chen Qingsi wiped his chin, glanced at the officials below, and said: "Isn't this official asking for your opinions? If I really want to be arbitrary, how can there be such a meeting? Well, if you have any objections, you can raise them. No. If you object, I will take it as acquiescence."

After waiting for several cups of tea, no one spoke.

Chen Qingsi clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Three will follow the second, that's it! Let's dismiss the meeting!"

　Brothers who can subscribe to the new book will do their best to do so, and those who have votes will also support it!Thanks!
