In ancient times, in the hearts of the common people, the so-called good officials and clean officials were officials who sat in the yamen and did good things for the people; And the so-called bad officials and corrupt officials are officials who sit in the yamen and harm the common people. (To read the latest chapters of this book, please visit the biquge.info of Wรจn Aishang Novel Network)
What the two have in common is that no matter whether they do good things or bad things in the yamen, they will only sit in the yamen and do things.
In this era, the concept of "equality for all" has not yet appeared, and in the hearts of the people, court officials should be superior to others, and they should sit in the yamen and give orders.
However, what Zhao Junchen did during the locust eradication completely subverted this concept in the hearts of the people.
After the sacrifice to the sky, the action of culling locusts was vigorously launched, with the help of all parties, there was no riot, but for the rest of the month, the locust plague has been controlled, and the locusts that were originally overwhelming have now become only sporadically visible.
And Hedong and Taiyuan, under the coordination of Zhao Junchen, have been fully cooperating with Lu'an's actions these days. Due to the timely extinguishment, this year's autumn harvest in the two places was not affected by the locust plague.
Under the organization of the prefects of the two places, the people of Hedong and Taiyuan also came to the territory of Lu'an Mansion to help the people of Lu'an Mansion to kill locusts together.
For the people of Hedong and Taiyuan, after coming to Lu'an Mansion, the most surprising thing for them was that Zhao Junchen, the dignified lord of the Qincha, was dressed as an ordinary farmer and killed locusts with the people of Lu'an Mansion!!
Zhao Junchen's original intention of doing this was just a contrived, just to stabilize his image as a "good official" in the hearts of the people of Lu'an Mansion.
But the people didn't think that Zhao Junchen was contrived, because during the culling of locusts, Zhao Junchen did not enjoy any privileges, nor did he have the slightest laziness, and he received porridge and pickles from the porridge shed of the government every day like ordinary people, and he was so kind and polite to every people.
In this way, there is no need to say much about the people's gratitude to Zhao Junchen. It can be said that with Zhao Junchen's current status and prestige in the hearts of the people of Lu'an Mansion, let alone let them extinguish the locusts, even if they let them demolish the locust temple, I am afraid that not many people will hesitate.
According to a scholar who was moved by Zhao Junchen's behavior, throughout the ages, the four-character comment of "loving the people like a son" may only be able to bear by Zhao Junchen.
If anyone dares to say "Zhao Junchen is a corrupt official" in Lu'an Mansion now, it is not impossible to be spit on the stars, and it is not impossible to be beaten by the people.
With the help and explanation of the people of Lu'an Mansion, what Zhao Junchen has done these days is also well known to the people of Taiyuan and Hedong, and Zhao Junchen's image of a "good official" has also begun to be accepted by more and more people, and is no longer limited to a corner of Lu'an Mansion.
In fact, it was not only Zhao Junchen, because of Zhao Junchen's personal efforts, Liu Changan and other local officials, although they did not understand, had to follow suit, took off their official robes, changed into peasant clothes, and were busy with Zhao Junchen.
As a result, Liu Changan, a corrupt official who used to extort money in Lu'an Prefecture, has also received a lot of praise these days.

It will be late and the sun will set in the west.
Zhao Junchen was busy for a day, although he was quite tired, he still did not rest, but commanded the people to burn the locust corpses.
According to Zhao Junchen, gathering locust carcasses and burning them in the fields can make the fields much more fertile, and Lu'an Mansion will definitely have a good harvest in the coming year.
For Zhao Junchen's statement, the people were convinced, so they did it one after another.
When the locust corpses caught fire, everything was decided, and Liu Chang'an, who had been following Zhao Junchen for the past few days, asked Zhao Junchen softly: "My lord, it's not early, you are tired all day, it's time to eat, let's go to the porridge shed to eat today?" โ
Seeing Zhao Junchen nodding, Liu Changan's face couldn't help flashing a trace of bitterness, he has always been pampered, and he let him eat porridge and pickles all day long, where can he get used to it? But since Zhao Junchen has eaten all of these as a Qincha, he, Liu Chang'an, is just a mere prefect, even if he is unwilling, he can only follow suit.
Seeing Liu Changan's miserable face, Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "Lord Liu, this official knows that you are not used to eating those porridge and pickles, and it is really difficult for you these days, so you can go find some food by yourself today, and you don't have to go with this official." What the officials are doing these days is only personal, and you local officials can do it only by their own volition. โ
Although Zhao Junchen said so, where would Liu Changan really agree? Hurriedly said: "My lord, you are looking down on the lower officials, your lordship is far-sighted, and you love the people like a son, these days can follow the adults around, the lower officials only feel that they have benefited a lot, now is the opportunity to continue to learn from the adults, where can the lower officials miss it?" Therefore, naturally, what you do as an adult, the lower officials will do it. โ
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said with a smile: "This is you asking for hardship, don't blame me in the future." โ
"How come, my lord, you are laughing again, it is the honor of the lower officials to follow the adults."
While speaking, Zhao Junchen, Liu Changan and others had already come to the vicinity of the porridge shed.
I saw that in front of the porridge shed, the people lined up in a long line, and it was actually orderly.
can have such an order, but it also has a credit to Zhao Junchen, because every time Zhao Junchen comes to the porridge shed to receive porridge, he is in line, and the people see Zhao Junchen is like this, plus the porridge in the porridge shed is enough, so they follow the queue.
After seeing Zhao Junchen's appearance, most of the people near the porridge shed were respectful and happy, and they knelt down to Zhao Junchen and saluted.
"Everyone, get up quickly, you are tired of a busy day, you don't have to kneel around anymore, I am not wearing an official robe now, I don't need so many rules."
After seeing the people kneeling, Zhao Junchen hurriedly said, and helped the people around him up one by one.
After the people got up, their enthusiasm was still undiminished, and they greeted Zhao Junchen one after another:
"Lord Chincha, you've worked hard this day!"
"My lord, you go to the front to get the porridge first, it's out of the way!"
"Sir, stand in front of me, it's quicker."
In the midst of the noise and shouting, in the midst of greetings, Zhao Junchen just smiled and waved his hand to refuse.
Seeing this scene, Liu Changan and other Lu'an Mansion officials all had complicated expressions.
In the past, once they appeared among the people, the people avoided them one after another, and how could they have encountered today's enthusiasm?
The love of the people has made these corrupt officials, who have always only known silver in their hearts, feel a little fulfilling.
In their eyes, the silver is still much more important than the love of the people, but if you can be like Zhao Junchen, you can be loved by the people in addition to corruption and bribery, it seems to be a better choice?
In this regard, many people have begun to seriously consider it, such as Liu Changan, the prefect of Lu'an.
Through all channels, the officials of Lu'an Mansion know very well that in addition to the great increase in the popularity of Zhao Jun's subjects these times, they have not taken less silver, and it is rumored that the filial piety of the Jin merchants alone is as much as 100,000 taels.
Fame and fortune are naturally enviable.

Not to mention the complicated thoughts of the officials of Lu'an Mansion, Zhao Junchen seemed to have discovered something between the cordial conversations with the people, and after being slightly stunned, he walked quickly towards an old man not far away.
The old man was also accompanied by two three or four-year-old children, who were the old man who had communicated with Zhao Junchen a few days ago and claimed to be "smiling and waiting for death". At this time, he was also waiting in line to receive the porridge.
Coming to the old man, Zhao Junchen asked with a smile: "Uncle, do you remember me?" โ
The old man nodded, and replied respectfully: "You are Lord Qincha, and you are a great blue sky. โ
Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "It seems that my husband has forgotten me after all, do you remember that a month ago, we met at the edge of the field not far away?" โ
The old man was slightly stunned, and after carefully looking at Zhao Junchen for a few moments, he finally remembered, and said with surprise: "It turns out ...... It's Chincha-sama!? Oh, old man, I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, and I actually neglected Lord Qincha that day, and I ask your lord to forgive me! โ
Saying that, the old man was about to pull his two grandsons to kneel down and plead guilty, Zhao Junchen hurriedly supported him and said: "The Japanese official is a private visit to Weifu, and the old man doesn't know about it, and the old man is not neglecting me, what is the crime?" โ
After helping the old man up, Zhao Junchen asked again: "Your son's leg can be cured now?" โ
The old man's face was happy, and he replied: "Thank you for your concern, since I met with the adults that day, for some reason, a doctor came to my house the next day and prescribed medicine for my child's leg for free......
In the middle of the words, the old man's body suddenly shook, and seeing Zhao Junchen smiling and groaning, he seemed to have already known, and finally understood who the benefactor was, and once again pulled the two grandsons to kneel towards Zhao Junchen, looking excited, and said in his mouth: "Grandson, quickly kneel down to Lord Qincha to thank you, the benefactor who cured your father's leg injury is Lord Qincha." โ
This time, Zhao Junchen couldn't stop it no matter what.
When Zhao Junchen finally helped the three ancestors and grandsons up, he said, "Since your son's leg injury is healed, then I will be relieved." โ
Saying this, Zhao Junchen patted the old man's shoulder and turned to leave.
After Zhao Junchen left, the curious people around surrounded the old man to inquire about the news, and the old man also explained loudly to the surrounding people: "This Lord Zhao is really a good official, you don't know, since my child's leg was broken, the family has no way to live, the old man, I even have the heart to seek death, who knew that day I met Lord Zhao who was privately interviewed by Weifu......
