Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 206 Starts jumping on the ground

Meng Changqing told Wen that he had brought eight carts of seeds from Huangzhuang, "I originally wanted to bring the seeds here directly."

"You don't have to worry about this kind of thing. Your uncle knows how to deal with it. Those trucks of seeds must be on the way."

"Can mother receive letters from the capital?" Meng Changqing asked again.

Wen shook his head, "Besides Dong Wen, who else would send a letter?"

"There is such a person." Meng Changqing said, "He wanted to come to Beishan County. I wanted to pay more attention to him, but I was so busy that I forgot about him."

Having said this, Meng Changqing took a long breath, "I don't understand why I feel so anxious after returning to Beijing this time. I always feel like thousands of things are rushing towards me, and I am so busy that I don't even have time to take a breath."

"You have too many things on your mind." Mrs. Wen tucked her in, "Stop thinking about it and have a good rest when you get home."

Meng Changqing closed his eyes and took a nap again, and then couldn't sleep at all.

Ever since she injured her leg, she had been lying down almost all the time. Whether in the carriage or on her own bed, the total time she spent on the ground was no more than an hour. It was really uncomfortable to lie down.

When I woke up in the afternoon and asked Hu Xiaohua, she started to get out of bed and jump around.

Seeing the danger of her jumping, Xiaodai turned around and went to the kitchen to find a long rolling pin and asked her to use it as a crutch first.

Meng Changqing originally only wandered around the back office, but after getting a temporary crutch, she jumped directly to the front office.

When the officers on duty saw Meng Changqing, their jaws almost dropped to the ground in shock, "Mr. Meng, what's wrong with your feet?"

The several government officials who followed her to Liangzhou Prefecture knew that Meng Changqing was injured, but they did not know where she was injured specifically. Moreover, they were all strict-mouthed people who came back as soon as they came back without telling anyone where they had been these days.

Therefore, the people in Qianya basically didn't know about Meng Changqing's injury.

But now everyone in the yamen knows about it.

The person in front of him shouted loudly and called the people next to him. The commotion became louder and louder. Except for a few people on duty outside and guarding the gate, everyone in the yamen gathered next to Meng Changqing.

"Mr. Meng, how did you hurt your foot? Is the injury serious?"

Most of these questions are asked.

Meng Changqing must have been depressed for a long time, and now that he was facing these concerned faces, he couldn't help but want to say a few more words.

She leaned against the wall and introduced her injury. She said it vividly, what a heroic rescue!
The people in the yamen listened with fascination, and the blood of those who listened was boiling in the winter, thinking that if there was such an opportunity, they would inevitably rush to save him.

"It seems that the capital city is no better than our Liangzhou city. They dare to kidnap people on the street, just like Yangmen County."

Someone thought about it after hearing the story, "I heard it from others before that you went to the capital. It turns out that you really went to the capital. Why didn't you tell us, sir?"

Zuo Datou straightened up and said, "Where are you going, sir? Do you still need to report to me?"

Meng Changqing raised his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Zuo, thank you for your protection, but this matter is indeed my fault as an adult. I am worried that going to the capital this time is not a shameful thing. The court will call me over and scold me." Dun, I don’t have the nerve to tell you.”

"Your Excellency was reprimanded by the court for the sake of Beishan County. We all work together for Beishan County..."

"Yes, we are all together. Why do you have to be embarrassed if we all get scolded together?" "If you had told us, there would be someone to protect you, and maybe you wouldn't have to get hurt."

Meng Changqing looked remorseful, "Who says otherwise? If you were here, the thieves might not dare to attack us at all when they see that there are so many of us.

I have learned a lesson this time. No matter where I go next time, whether I am embarrassed or embarrassed, I will definitely tell you! "

Yang Zheng saw that Meng Changqing was struggling to stand, so he stepped forward to support her, "Sir, he is tired. I will help him go back to the room to sit for a while. Don't be lazy. Do whatever you have to do."

"Brother Yang, come to your room to talk." Meng Changqing refused Yang Zheng's offer to help her walk, picked up the rolling pin and jumped faster than a grasshopper.

Meng Changqing had been away from Beishan County for more than half a month, and the government office had accumulated a lot of official business. As soon as he entered Yang Zheng's room, he saw a lot of official documents piled on his table.

Meng Changqing picked up the middle books and looked at them, and found that they were all small matters within the county. They did not even need to be submitted to the higher authorities. They only needed to be formally copied and kept by the yamen themselves.

"I'm sorry, sir, I can usually write two words, but when I write on this, I can't write properly."

"Don't be sorry for these little things. Take them to my study later and I'll write them." Meng Changqing put down the things in his hands and thanked Yang Zheng, "I want to thank Brother Yang for helping me guard Beishan County."

"I didn't do anything. The arrangements for them were decided by you before. I just wanted to see if they were serious about their work."

"Nothing big happened in the county these days, right?" Meng Changqing asked.

"It's winter, and people don't want to go out. Except for a few busy days before the Chinese New Year, the Beiqiang Market is rarely visited at other times, and there are fewer and fewer people renting stalls there."

"This is normal." Meng Changqing asked him what the remaining stalls were selling.

"Basically, they sell food, such as millet cakes, tofu, pickles, and bean sprouts. There are only three or four stalls left."

Meng Changqing didn't find it strange and explained to Yang Zheng, "On the one hand, the weather is very cold. On the other hand, we only have so many people in Beishan County, so the demand is not large. Those selling supplies should be almost saturated by now.

Although there are still a few food sellers, it is foreseeable that given the current situation, they will not be able to do it for long.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of demand. There are few buyers and sellers are not profitable enough, so naturally they will not do this business. "

Yang Zheng: "Then we are busy working on the Beiqiang Market in vain?"

"So I asked other places in Liangzhou to find people. Only when there are more people can the market turn around.

When the market operates normally, the people doing business will have income, and the yamen will also have taxes to collect. Only when the yamen have money can they pave roads and build canals. "

Yang Zheng nodded after hearing this, "In that case, we can only wait for the people to come from other counties."

"Yes, the most important thing right now is to accept immigrants." Meng Changqing said, "We must make sure that after they get here, they will not have the thought of leaving. Brother Yang, I am going to leave the resettlement of immigrants to you."

"Okay." Yang Zheng said, "These are the people in our yamen. If I don't do it, don't you have to do it yourself? If there is something I don't understand or haven't done well, just tell me."

"There is one more thing." Meng Changqing corrected again: "Maybe there is one more thing."

Yang Zheng couldn't understand these words, "What do you mean maybe?"

"I know a person in the capital. He plans to come to Beishan County to work. I just don't know if he will come, so I say maybe."
