Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

"Today's Beishan County was possible only because you and your soldiers fought hard." Meng Changqing said, "If only I, Meng Changqing, would not be able to build this wall."

Wei Fangyun said: "There is not enough time."

"It's not a matter of time. Even if I came a month earlier, the Yan army would still abandon the Tuozhou pass to attack us when the city wall was about to be built. They didn't expect that our Daliang soldiers were so brave and our Daliang people were so courageous, so They just miscalculated."

Meng Changqing emphasized, "If we want to take back Tuozhou, we have to fight them."

Wei Fangyun reached for the wine bowl next to him and drank the wine in one gulp, "I got carried away. You are right, the only choice is to fight them!"

Changqing, if you think so, my uncle is very happy that your younger generation has this kind of consciousness!

With your majesty's wisdom today, and with the help of ministers like you, Liang will not have to worry about producing good generals!Taking back Tuozhou is no longer a fantasy! "

At this time, the government servant knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Bafang quickly went over to open the door, and two government servants came in carrying a large iron pot on their poles.

"Sir, where to put it?"

Wei Fangyun stood up and took a look, "Put it on my head! I am the prefect of the government, but I don't even have a bowl?"

Meng Changqing stood up and advised, "Uncle, it's not easy to get cold this way."

"Bring it in and find something to set it up on."

The yamen servant behind was holding a wooden stand in his hand. The two of them put the pot next to the round table. The yamen servant in front took out the bowls and chopsticks from his arms and said, "Adults, please use them."

"The government officials are rough in their work, but their craftsmanship is good. You can try this mutton noodles, but you'll still get used to it." Wei Fangyun filled two bowls for them.

This bowl contains both mutton and noodles and pickles.

Meng Changqing hadn't eaten fresh meat for a long time, but now he felt it was really good, "It's delicious!"

Bafang nodded while eating, "I haven't eaten mutton in half a year, it's so delicious!"

"You just have to get used to it."

Wei Fangyun picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come on, Changqing, Bafang, let's take a sip!"

Meng Changqing quickly picked up the wine bowl and said, "I respect my uncle for taking care of Changqing these days."

Bafang then said: "Respect uncle."

"Good good."

The wine bowls clinked together and Meng Changqing took a sip.

Wei Fangyun picked up the wine bowl again: "Uncle, I respect you and Beishan County!"

Meng Changqing stood up and went to pick up the wine bowl.

She and Bafang were both young. After several exchanges of greetings, Wei Fangyun no longer persuaded them to drink, but only took the mutton from the pot for them to eat.

On the other hand, he just ate a bowl of noodles and drank a lot of wine.

Wei Fangyun looked at the two of them eating, and then thought about the Beishan County he had seen and the county government he didn't want to go to, "I've been suffering for you for several months, now it's better.

I will let the original defenders of Yangmen County be stationed in Beishan County, and Weishanguan and Hongjia County will watch each other. As long as the Yan army does not attack with all the strength of the country, Beishan County can live in peace and stability. "

Meng Changqing nodded.

Wei Fangyun suddenly remembered something, "Now that you have made great achievements, I don't know if the emperor will call you back to the capital."

Meng Changqing, who was eating, was stunned. She didn't know what the emperor would arrange for her.It was on that day that I received a letter from Uncle Dongwen from home, and I realized that the Xiao family had restrained themselves and that the prince was in a bad situation.

It’s not that she is petty, she just says that the emperor is wise, but in fact, what good shit can the superior hold back?
What's more, the situation in the palace is unclear now, and if she gets involved, she will be an obvious target. Anyone who wants to deal with the prince will be the first to take action on her.

She would rather eat pickles in Beishan County for a few more years than to gain wealth in danger.

Meng Changqing said: "If I just talk about my own thoughts, I want to stay in Beishan County. The people in Beishan County still live in caves and only have two thousand dan of food left. I am really worried about letting others take over."

"You are indeed kind to the people and love things." Wei Fangyun looked at Meng Changqing and nodded, "I am not the one who said this. There are rumors about you in other counties in Liangzhou. You are now praised by the people of Liangzhou with thumbs up. official."

Meng Changqing looked flattered, "Changqing is really ashamed."

"There are many officials in one court in Daliang. How many are like you? You deserve this praise." Wei Fangyun said, "Since you have such an idea, I will explain it to the emperor when I submit the memorial."

"Thank you uncle!"

"However, since you plan to stay here, you will still be busy in the future." Wei Fangyun said: "As you said yourself, the people in Beishan County still live in caves, and your own county government is also in a cave. "

Wei Fangyun counted on his fingers for her, "The most important ones are the three: the county government office, the inn, and the official road for marching."

"Evergreen took note of it."

Wei Fangyun asked again: "As spring is about to begin, people want to grow food. How much land are you planning to reclaim in Beishan County? What crops will you plant?"

“I wonder what the neighboring Weishan County and Hongjia County grow?”

"Except for Luojiang County, all other counties in Liangzhou mainly grow millet, that is, millet."

Meng Changqing said: "In that case, I will also grow millet in Beishan County."

"Okay, after a while, I will lend you some seeds. Then you can just send someone to get them."

The three of them ate a pot of noodles from morning to midnight, and asked the yamen to take it out and heat it up during the meal.

Wei Fangyun was very happy with the meal and wanted to stay with Meng Changqing in the government office for one night. "It just so happens that I will take the messenger to Beishan County tomorrow. We will go together then."

"Thank you uncle for staying here. I just didn't tell my mother that I would stay overnight when I went out today. I was afraid that she would be worried. I'd better go back to Beishan County early and wait for the two adults."

"That's fine." Wei Fangyun said, "I'll take you to the door."

After bidding farewell to Wei Fangyun at the gate of the county government office, Meng Changqing hurried back to Beishan County.

However, she came back too late to see off the two thousand guards.

"I originally wanted to send them back to Hongjia County in person and thank Mr. Hua properly, but I didn't expect that Mr. Wei would have so many things to say. One meal took too long."

"It would be a good thing if he is willing to let you talk and have dinner with you." Wen twisted a handkerchief and wiped her face, "He is your superior officer after all.

Although your father's official position is higher than his, he is gone and can't really do anything for you.

You have just entered the officialdom, and now you are just a seventh-grade official. If you want to climb up, you must lower your profile and move forward steadily. "

"Thank you, mother, for your teaching." Meng Changqing wiped his face, leaving a patch of dust on the originally white handkerchief, so he had to change the side and continue wiping it.

The veil was washed with water three times before she wiped her face clean.

"I have a lot of work to do next." Meng Changqing almost forgot to say, "A messenger from the emperor is coming tomorrow. I'm sure he will look around. Mom, hide the valuable things at home."

"I know, I don't need your care." Liang Jiujiu brought the cooked red date soup in front of her, "Drink a bowl of soup to warm your body."

Meng Changqing buried his head and took a sip, and suddenly said: "You have to put away the red dates, mother. Let's cook some millet porridge tomorrow and let the messenger have a taste of the specialties here."
