Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Once work stopped, the air on the construction site became much better.

Meng Changqing, Xi Bei, and Chu Mufeng stood on the city wall and looked to the north.

Looking at it, Chu Mufeng took out the dried meat from his pocket and ate it. Just when he was about to tighten the mouth of the bag, there was an extra hand beside him, "Master Bai." Meng Changqing said with a smile: "There are many more ?"

Chu Mufeng gave her the bag of dried meat, "Although there isn't much, there is still some for Master Meng to eat."

"Master Bai, you are very polite. I will repay you twice as much when I return to Beijing." Meng Changqing walked to Xi Bei's side and said, "Master, I will give you half."

The three of them stood on the city wall and chewed dried meat. The salty smell of meat seemed a bit abrupt in this barren land.

When will this land have enough food to feed livestock? When will the people here be able to eat such dried meat?
Separated by a wall, one side is a bonfire dotted in the night, and the other side is boundless darkness.

Meng Changqing suddenly said, "Master, have you been further north?"

Xi Bei said: "When the Yan army was strangled, I followed their remnants all the way across the river. There are several small villages on the other side of the river. I have only been there."

"Where is Lord Bai?" Meng Changqing asked again.

"Mr. Meng was joking. I followed Mr. Meng out of the capital. The northernmost point I visited was the city wall at my feet."

"When can we go further north and have a look?"

"Master Meng is talking about Tuozhou?" Chu Mufeng said, "It has been nearly 70 years since Daliang lost Tuozhou. The late emperor also determined to take back Tuozhou, but unfortunately he failed in the end.

Fourteen years ago, Daliang lost General Ningyuan again, and now the court is very conservative about war.

If you want to take back Tuozhou, a good general must be born. "

Meng Changqing said, "Good generals don't just wait."

Chu Mufeng asked: "Master Meng, do you want to be a good general?"

"Who doesn't want to be a good general?" Meng Changqing asked Chu Mufeng, "Master Bai, doesn't he?"

There was a moment of panic on Chu Mufeng's face, "Of course I think so."

"When Beishan County becomes prosperous and strong, we will take back Tuozhou's best stepping stone."

In the camp, there were more torches in front of the kitchen, and Xi Bei only glanced there to know where the porridge was.

"Bafang!" Xi Bei shouted to the training figure in the distance: "Go and ask for a bowl of porridge for Master!"

"Hey!"

The order of eating porridge is not based on the amount of work done. Whoever comes first drinks first.

Meizi held her own big bowl and queued up with the two strange women in front of her. Everyone in their group had gone back, and she was the only one who lived in such a big pothole.

Fortunately, there were many people here, and there were guards patrolling outside all the time, so she didn't feel scared.

It's just that the people who usually talk around me are gone, so it's inevitable to feel a little lonely.

"It's better to work like this now. Work separately to avoid being looked down upon by some people." The woman in front of Meizi patted the person in front of her, "Don't miss your dad. Although we can't stay together all the time now, we can all You can often see them working on this land.”

While they were talking, it was their turn to enter the kitchen. The two of them took porridge, found a seat in the corner of the kitchen, sat down and drank.

Meizi thought about what she had just half-heard and sat behind them. "I don't mind working separately, but living separately and being so separated makes people think... why can't we dig another hole next to it? Officials always only want their own convenience, and they don't care what happens to the people."

Mei Zi understood that the two people behind him were citizens of Beishan County.

But why do they still say that the county master of Beishan County is not good?Meizi really couldn't figure it out. Is there any better official in the world than this county master?Her life was saved by the master.

When Meizi was about to defend the county master, the person who spoke had his mouth covered, "Oh, please keep your voice down. If the officers and soldiers hear you talking about him, you will lose your mind."

After leaving the kitchen, Mei Zi followed them for a while and heard one of the young women always complaining about how harsh the county magistrate was. She couldn't help it anymore and walked a few steps quickly to stop them.

"I have been listening to you talking. You are from Beishan County. Why do you always talk about the county master?" Meizi said, "I have never heard of the things you are talking about. You think too much of the county master." broken."

"Who are you? How can you help the officials speak?" Yu Xing asked.

"Hey." The woman next to him grabbed Yu Xing, "Why are you talking so freely like your father?"

She smiled at Meizi and said, "This eldest sister, she is just a child. She is young and ignorant. You must not argue with her. If there is anything you don't like, just scold her. Don't do it over such a trivial matter. Go and alert the officers and soldiers.”

"You shouldn't be indifferent between good and evil at a young age." Mei Zi said, "If there are still people saying bad things about such an official, there will no longer be good officials in the world."

Yu Xing lowered his head and allowed the person in front of him to talk without daring to talk back.

"Okay, okay." The woman next to her stopped Mei Zi, who was getting more and more enthusiastic. "Sister, just say a few words. Don't shout too loud. We won't be able to please anyone by attracting the officers and soldiers."

"Hey, sister, which county are you from?" The woman pulled Meizi and changed the topic while walking.

"From Liangzhou Prefecture."

"Your family lives in Liangzhou, why didn't you go back?" The woman winked at Yu Xing and asked her to leave first.

"My body is not strong, and I am too tired when I come and go."

"Yes, if there is nothing to worry about at home, there is really no need to go back every shift." The woman asked again: "Have you ever dealt with the magistrate of Beishan County?"

"No, he was kind enough to save me." Mei Zi said, "I fainted on the first day I came here. It was him who saved me and let me rest for a day. I dare not say that he had anything to do with it.

Why do you still say something bad about such a good official? "

"Sister, you came late and don't know what happened before us." The woman said, "The county master saved you, so you think he is a good person.

But the people in front of us know more than you. The woman left a sentence, "I don't know if the county master is a good person, but I know he is a cruel person."

Mei Zi felt that this person was abnormal. It was really incomprehensible for a person to do good things and still be told, "I don't know if he is a good person or not."

A good thing is a good thing. If he does it and you benefit, you have inherited his favor.

Mei Zi remembered the appearance of those two people and thought about keeping an eye on them in the future.

But before she had a chance to keep an eye on those two people, something happened in her class.

Two nights later, two groups of people in the same class had a conflict over a trivial matter.

The guard came over with a whip, stopped the work of the two groups, and whipped everyone in the two groups. While whipping, he cursed: "I usually serve you delicious food, but I really thought there were no rules here! A little thing can be a big deal." If you dare to cause trouble, I will let you know the pain today, and then you will know what the rules are.

You people are paying less and less attention to us. If you don’t know what it means to be afraid, just dig out the mound of soil at the west corner of the city wall and take a look.The people buried inside are not rotten yet. Do you want to bury them in there too? "(End of chapter)
