Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Let’s talk about this morning on the third day of April.

There are [-] households in Luojia Village, Weishan County. Many people got up early and gathered outside the village chief's courtyard with packages.

Waiting for the village chief to come out and take everyone to Beishan County.

Luo Sanmu was dragging his own cart, and it was already too late. His two children had already been crowded into the crowd, gathering with other children in the same village.

"They're all stuck in front of my uncle's house."

His wife Jiang Chan walked behind the cart and could look at the things on the cart and help push the cart.

"Xiaoyun, Shitou." Jiang Chan shouted to the children in the crowd, "Don't run around, you won't be able to walk by then."

"Mom!" When her daughter Xiaoyun heard the voice, she immediately ran back to Jiang Chan, but her younger son pretended not to hear it. Jiang Chan shouted several more times before Luo Shitou was willing to come back from the group of children.

"Mom." He complained, "The adults in their family don't shout, so why are you calling me? Besides, our family has a trolley. When the time comes, I can't walk and will just take the trolley."

"Your dad is pulling so many things, why don't you push him behind and still want to ride in the car? You kid, do you know how far away from Beishan County we are?"

"Okay, don't talk about the child." Seeing that his wife was getting more and more scolding, Luo Sanmu turned around and persuaded him, "He is a child and expects him to know anything. He can play if he wants to, and he won't be left behind. When the time comes, you and the child Yun couldn't move, so he sat in the car together and I could still pull him."

They were talking as a family, but suddenly a voice from the side intervened, "Third brother, since you can pull it, please put my things in your car as well."

The speaker was Luo Sanmu's cousin-in-law Wang Lamei.

This man didn't just talk, he already put a big package on the cart, "It's better to have a cart. It's not only convenient for transporting food, but it's also very convenient for transporting things. Look at your home." It can fit in a lot of cars, and everything I have at home fits just right!”

"Sister-in-law Lamei." Jiang Chan frowned at that time, blocking her move to continue putting it away, "We have other things to put in the car, and we can't fit your things."

"Why can't it be loaded?" My cousin-in-law tried to avoid Jiang Chan's obstruction, "I see there is still a lot of space. If I pile it up, I can even put my tables, chairs, and benches on top."

"Sister-in-law Lamei, I still have some things from my sister-in-law's family that haven't been put on the car. I really can't put it in your car. You can borrow it from someone else." Jiang Chan moved all the packages she put on it.

"Hey, how could you be such a person?" Sister-in-law Lamei said, "My things have already been put up. It's a lot of trouble to move them around. Why don't you sister-in-law think of other ways?"

"My aunt is really good at talking." Luo Yun hid behind her mother and said, "She obviously did something wrong, but she still wants to ask how my mother behaves."

"Xiaoyun! Don't talk nonsense." Luo Sanmu took off the pulling rope on his shoulder, turned around and said: "Sister-in-law Lamei, there are always close relatives and distances in life. I have to settle my family properly first. I can only come to help you if I have enough energy. busy.

Don't waste your time. He put down Wang Lamei's things in the car and said, "While everyone is here, ask someone to help. Otherwise, when everyone is gone, you will have nothing to do." "

"This...who should I ask for help? It's easy for the third child..."

Luo Sanmu didn't let her finish her words, "Look at who's free in the car, give them some money and say some nice words, there will always be someone willing to help you."

"Hey, Third Brother, I'll give it to you."

"Sister-in-law, I told you that there is no room in my car." After Luo Sanmu said that, he pulled the cart and left. He turned around the row of houses in front and stopped in front of a mud house.

This is the home of his widowed sister-in-law. At home, his eldest sister-in-law and her children are laboriously tying up a large package.Jiang Chan took her children in to help.

Luo Sanmu stood at the door and asked, "Can I help you?"

"Sister-in-law has almost finished packing. You can load the tables and chairs at the door into the car. Don't let anyone load things into our car again."

Luo Sanmu was loading things at the door, looking in the direction of the village chief's house from time to time, and suddenly saw someone going into the house. Luo Laosan put down the things in his hands and went over there, "Tou Shitou, tell your mother, I Go to the village chief’s house and have a look.”

"Hey!" Luo Shitou was very happy to receive the mission. He just regarded it as an imperial edict and passed it on to his mother.

"What's wrong?" Luo Sanmu quickly squeezed into the middle of the crowd.

"Miki is here." The people crowded in the village chief's yard said, "Let Miki talk."

"What did you say?" Luo Sanmu just came over and didn't understand what was going on in the courtyard. "Uncle, why don't you pack your things at home?"

"There's no rush." ​​The village chief said, "You young people go over there first. If it's better over there, stay there and wait for someone to deliver the letter. We'll go there again. If it's not good, you can come back and I'll give this place back." You watch."

Luo Sanmu didn't expect that yesterday the village chief and the villagers knelt down to thank the magistrate of Beishan County, but today this was the case.

"Uncle, didn't we all agree, why didn't we go again?" Luo Sanmu asked.

"Hey Miki, tell the village chief what kind of person the county master of Beishan County is. If the village chief doesn't believe what I say, he should believe what you say."

"Are you worried about the county master of Beishan County?" Luo Sanmu said, "We have been building walls in Beishan County for a long time, so we know the county master. If nothing else, at least there is one thing. greedy.

We ate three good meals a day in Beishan County and never ran out of food. "

"An official who is not corrupt may not necessarily be a good official." The village chief said, "Besides, if you are not corrupt now, it does not mean you will not be corrupt in the future. Let's not talk about other places. Let's talk about this Weishan County. Which of the previous magistrates has taken office? Just greedy?

What's more, he was a rather young official. Young people have many changeable ideas. I don't know how he became an official. I always feel that he is less trustworthy than others.

Do as I say. The village chief made up his mind, "You are young and strong, go and have a look first. If it's really good, we can go there. Only by occupying both sides can we have a place to stay." "

"Uncle, if you came up with this idea two months ago, I would definitely agree, but now it's April, and the food will be planted in the fields soon." Luo Sanmu said, "Spring plowing can't be delayed, it comes and goes. All the time is spent on the road.”

"Yes, village chief, Miki is right."

"I'm getting older, so I always think more carefully when doing things." The village chief sat on a chair in the yard. "Spring plowing cannot be delayed, but moving to the village is not a trivial matter. I would rather be idle for a year than bump into an unfamiliar person rashly. Place to go.”

The young man standing in the yard was speechless for a moment.

Everyone looked at each other, expecting someone to say something and make a decision.

In the end, Luo Sanmu stood up, "Since my uncle said so, let's do it. After all, he is older and has more experience than us.

Our family will go over first. Anyone who is willing to follow us can go with me so that we can have someone to look after us on the way. "
