Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

"Is it difficult to wipe out the mountain bandits?" Qi Renli asked, but after asking, before Yang Zheng could speak, he said: "Yes, this mountain looks very steep and steep. I think it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If there is a way, With Master Meng’s personality, he must have solved this evil problem.”

"Exactly." Yang Zheng said, "Mr. Meng has looked at the mountains and sighed many times. Unfortunately, they have a geographical advantage. It is really impossible for us to eliminate the bandits.

Even if our soldiers risk their lives and rush up the cliff, they can still escape into the two major mountain ranges. "

Qi Renli also frowned, "Such a thing would be difficult for anyone to deal with. So what do you think, Lord Meng? Is there no other way besides clearing it out?"

"Are you talking about recruiting people to be safe?" Yang Zheng said: "Actually, we also mentioned it to Mr. Meng.

There's something you didn't know because you just arrived. Before the construction of the city wall started, bandits came down from the mountain to rob. Perhaps because of this, Lord Meng couldn't stand the bandits.

At first, when we mentioned recruiting, Mr. Meng refused directly. Later, his attitude softened.

When you passed by yesterday, could you see a house not far from the mountain? "

Seeing Qi Renli nodding, Yang Zheng continued: "This is a recruitment notice issued by the Lord after he softened his attitude. There are only a few people on the mountain who are willing to come down."

"Since we are recruiting people to come down the mountain, why do we have to let them live at the foot of the mountain?" Qi Renli couldn't figure it out. "So they can't go up the mountain easily?"

"I asked Mr. Meng about this issue, and Mr. Meng said that he arranged it this way on purpose."

"Why?"

"Sir, it is not easy for us to deal with the people on the mountain. After all, we do not know the details of the other party, so we must try our best to incite them to antagonize. People who have already gone down the mountain will sooner or later think differently from the people on the mountain. When they arrive, Only then will we have a chance to deal with the bandits.”

Qi Renli realized that "the harm done by the bandits to the people is no less than that done by the enemy. They disregard life and smash, loot and burn the people's property. With such a group of evil bandits, the people must be worried about living here.

Lieutenant Yang, if this matter is not handled well, it may affect the people's move in. The things your Excellency has given us are not simple. "

"Let's go, Master Qi. While the weather is good now, let's go look elsewhere."

Two days later in the morning, Meng Changqing was in his study. After taking care of his routine business, he was trying to walk slowly without his crutches.

When she applied the medicine last night, she saw that the flesh on her ankle had almost grown, but it was destined to leave two ugly scars. Meng Changqing didn't care much about it, but her mother held her foot and cried for a long time.

Obviously, Meng Changqing's comfort didn't work for her mother, so she could only make up her mind and never put herself in danger in the future unless she had no choice but to do so.

"Master." Bafang came in with a basket in each hand, "Laicai is in a good mood today. He got up early in the morning and made steamed dumplings."

He lifted the basket to the small round table, quickly took out the breakfast, set it up quickly, and then urged Meng Changqing, "Master, come and eat it while it's hot. I saw the person who came with the money bag. Most of the fillings are meat. It's delicious." Very good!”

Meng Changqing walked over slowly and asked, "Is your injury almost healed?"

To those close to him, Meng Changqing told the truth, "It didn't happen so quickly. After all, the flesh was dug out. But judging from the current recovery situation, it shouldn't have much impact on walking. It's really a blessing among misfortunes."

Bafang handed her the chopsticks, "It's my fault."

"What does it have to do with you?" Meng Changqing said, "I am now the county magistrate. I am responsible for the people of the county. Naturally, I should be responsible for my own actions."

Bafang opened the lid of the casserole, and the heat came out, "Anyway, I have to follow you wherever you go from now on." "Okay." Meng Changqing took the porridge bowl handed by Bafang, and the minced meat was scalded in the porridge, and among the cooked rice grains , sandwiched with a few green scallions.

In the winter in Liangzhou, it is really rare to see such bright colors. "Have you not finished eating those pots of green onions that Lai Cai Yang brought?"

"He is very precious. He is only willing to put it in the meals of you and your ladies. The onions are growing one after another, so naturally he can't finish them all."

Meng Changqing picked up the bowl and blew on it. Just as he was about to drink, he heard someone outside the study asking: "Is your Excellency here?"

"Master Qi." Bafang had steamed dumplings stuffed in his mouth and spoke slurredly, "Why does he come to you so early?"

How did Meng Changqing know, "Go and open the door."

Before Qi Renli came in, she quickly ate a few steamed dumplings and wiped her mouth with the handkerchief next to her.

"I've met Mr. Meng."

"You're welcome to sit down and talk." Meng Changqing put down his chopsticks and watched him sit on the stool, then asked: "Why did you come to me so early in the morning?"

"I've traveled around Liangzhou in the past two days and have a certain understanding of what I want to do now."

Meng Changqing immediately understood what he meant, "How many manpower are needed?"

"We need ten people for the time being."

"Okay, I will write a notice later and keep it posted before noon." Meng Changqing asked again, "Brother Qi, can we have something together?"

Qi Renli looked at the two large plates of oily steamed dumplings in front of him. He felt delicious just from the smell. He was not such a person before. It was not like he had never eaten steamed dumplings before, but this was in Beishan. County fried dumplings.

He hasn't eaten anything too delicate since he got here.

Just when he was hesitating whether to hold back his appetite and maintain his dignity, Bafang had already served him hot porridge, and took clean chopsticks from the cabinet against the wall and placed them in front of him.

"Then you're welcome, sir."

Meng Changqing nodded towards Bafang, who withdrew with a tacit understanding. But when he left the study, he immediately rushed to the back office kitchen. His breakfast had to be made up by Lai Cai.

After finishing all the steamed dumplings and porridge, Qi Renli returned to his senses and smiled sheepishly, then changed the subject, "Sir, don't you ask me, what's the use of having ten people separated?"

"I believe you." Meng Changqing said, "You have absolute freedom within the authority I can give you."

Qi Renli was very moved, "Mr. Meng..."

"Brother Qi has been here for two days and has some understanding of Beishan County. It is not a big place and there are not many people here, but there are a lot of things going on. I am very busy and cannot pay attention to everything, so I leave it to you. matter……

If there can be results, then I will only listen to the results. If there are no results, then I will listen to the process. "(End of chapter)
