Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 366 He is like a kite
Qi Renli accompanied Tong Shu Erhua to buy the house, and then returned to the county government office.

"Master Qi," Meng Changqing put away the knife he had just wiped, "You still have to be careful about how you do things."

Qi Renli understood and said, "Do you think I shouldn't lend money to Miss Shu? Oh, I don't lend money to everyone. I have been in contact with her for quite a while and I know her well, so I'm speaking up now.

Besides, Miss Shu is tight-lipped. She won’t tell anyone else if she borrows money from me, so I don’t think she will cause me any trouble.”

Meng Changqing said: "That's not what I meant."

Qi Renli was confused now, so he said modestly, "Please enlighten me, sir."

Meng Changqing asked him to sit down, "Brother Qi, you just said that you have been in contact with Miss Shu for a long time, so you know her well. It's the same between you and me.

I have always valued you, and after spending such a long time together, I have great faith in your character.

You are loyal to your duties and enthusiastic about serving the people. Everything you do in Beishan County is done with the purpose of helping others.”

Qi Renli felt a little embarrassed when he heard Meng Changqing flatter him like that.

"Thank you, my lord."

Meng Changqing hadn't finished speaking yet, "If anyone has been wronged in this, it's only you."

Qi Renli got goosebumps when he heard this. "I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it."

"You meant it that way, and you did it that way, so why shouldn't you be ashamed?" Meng Changqing said, "I know you because we have worked together for a long time, but other people may not know you the same way I do."

Qi Renli felt that he was like a kite. Lord Meng's words just now were like the wind, blowing him hard into the sky, but now he was being pulled hard by him.

Sure enough, Lord Meng’s good words cannot be said in vain.

Qi Renli understood what Meng Changqing meant.

His actions would be misunderstood. Thinking carefully about what happened today, Qi Renli broke out in a cold sweat and immediately stood up to apologize to Meng Changqing, "It was my poor consideration that caused trouble for the county government."

"Master Qi, you are too kind. How can your good intentions lead to disaster?" Meng Changqing told him not to be so nervous. "Look at Miss Shu. She doesn't seem to blame you at all."

"Although she didn't blame me, my behavior was indeed inappropriate." Qi Renli went over his words in his mind and added, "She might be afraid of my identity, so she didn't blame me on the surface."

"Brother Qi thinks too much." Meng Changqing said, "No matter how a person tries to hide his or her own thoughts, they will always be revealed on the outside. There is no need to think that people's hearts are too unfathomable.

Besides, what has happened cannot be changed, and there is no point in thinking too much about it. There is no need to dwell on it too much."

Qi Renli sighed, "I still... don't have enough cultivation."

"Don't ever say that about yourself." Meng Changqing put away the oil and cloth used to wipe the knife in front of him. "In my opinion, Brother Qi has done his job very well."

Qi Renli had just learned his lesson, so he dared not listen to Meng Changqing's flattery anymore, and immediately said, "No, no, any progress I have made is also due to your guidance, sir. It is you who has managed Beishan County in an orderly manner and made it increasingly prosperous."

"I don't deserve what Brother Qi said. Although Beishan County looks better now than before, there is still a lot to do.

Take the official road for example. It was said to have been repaired, but only the section from the county seat to the dangerous mountains was repaired, and the rest was still the old road.

I feel uneasy until the danger on the treacherous mountain is eliminated, and I dare not let the people get close.

In addition, there is still a lot to do regarding farming, education, etc.

Everything starts from scratch. As long as there is a little bit of achievement, no matter how big or small, it will be gratifying. But I know in my heart that there are more things that are not done well than those that are done well. "

Qi Renli listened and nodded in agreement.

Meng Changqing continued, "Besides, the achievements we have made are not my own. Without the help of Brother Qi and the other brothers, how could I have accomplished anything by myself?"

"Lord Meng, we are all united for Beishan County! No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, Qi is not afraid."
