Chapter 161: Night Banquet

Night falls.

In Zhangqiu County, the county government is the layout of the front and back residences, and the county order Zhang Yichen and his family live in the official residence. Du Ruhui came to office not long ago, but because he didn't bring his family, he also lived in the back house. The house between him and Zhang Yichen is actually only separated by a wall, but it is also an independent courtyard.

Tonight, Du Ruhui deliberately held a banquet in his small courtyard.

In the living room, there are three desks.

Du Ruhui didn't invite anyone else, so he invited the county commander Zhang Yichen and the governor Luo Cheng.

Luo Cheng dismounted in front of the ya, and Uncle Xu personally led him to the back house, and Du Ruhui greeted him in front of the courtyard.

"I've seen County Lieutenant Du." Luo Cheng gave up.

Du Ruhui also returned the salute, "Luo Duwei, please." ”

After the two of them entered the hall and sat down, Uncle Xu went to invite Zhang Yichen over again.

When the others came, the three of them sat down, and there was a cold noise.

"Let the cook serve the food." Du Ruhui confessed.

One person has a few cases, the dishes are more exquisite, and the wine is also very good.

"This cook lady was brought by me from my hometown in the capital, and I am used to eating the tastes of my family, so I am afraid that I will not be used to it outside. This wine is also brought out of Beijing, it is a gift from the high waiter of the Ministry of Officials, this is the jade shallot wine, this wine is the imperial wine of today's son, the method of wine-making comes from the Hu people, it is quite precious, a wine is hard to find, there is no price in the market. ”

When Luo Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but be curious, he couldn't imagine that Yang Guang, the son of Sui Tianzi, would actually make wine.

Take a sip of it, and it feels mellow and cold, with a feeling of beer.

"This wine is truly special."

"This is made of water valley, imitating the wine of the Hu people, even if you drink a lot, you will not get drunk, and even if you are drunk, you will not get sick." Du Ruhui introduced.

Luo Cheng thought to himself, isn't it just beer, he won't get drunk if he drinks too much, and even if he is really drunk, he won't get a headache or something like that.

Zhang Yichen is also a wine lover, and after a few sips, he also praised, "Although it is not as strong as Xinfeng wine, nor as strong as Sanle pulp, it is indeed very mellow and good wine." ”

Everyone started drinking, and after a few glasses of wine, the topic slowly began to talk.

The atmosphere gradually became less awkward.

Du Ruhui is also a free and cheerful person, raise a glass to drink himself, and then raise a glass to apologize to Luo Cheng and Zhang Yichen.

"If you are young and vigorous, you will not be careful, let the two of you laugh, and hope to be more tolerant, and be an official with the government in the future, hoping to get rid of the past suspicions, govern Zhangqiu County together, and make achievements, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Du Ruhui put on such a low profile, how could Luo Cheng still put on a show.

At that moment, he also got up and raised his glass, "It's Luo Cheng's reckless temperament, and I hope that County Lieutenant Du will take care of it." ”

Zhang Yichen laughed, for him, such a result is naturally the best at the moment.

While drinking and chatting, everyone did talk and laugh.

Du Ruhui's chef's dishes are very good, the dishes are exquisite, and the taste is also very good, which makes Luo Cheng also an eye-opener, he always thought that the recipes of the Sui people were simple, but now that he thinks about it, it is because the Sui dishes he has come into contact with are all ordinary people's lives, and the food and clothing have not been solved, so it is naturally impossible to pay attention to what cooking is exquisite.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Du Ruhui was slightly drunk.

Although this jade shallot wine is not on the top, Du Ruhui's wine volume is indeed average.

He couldn't help but complain that in this place of Zhangqiu, there are indeed a bit of poor water and bad water out of the people, not to mention that there are many bandits in this Changbai Mountain, and there are even anti-thieves. This anti-thief has just been leveled, and this is another cross-county cattle theft gang.

"The officials and servants in the yamen are also good and bad, and they are quick to catch fast not long after entering the yamen, and they are immediately corrupt, which is disappointing."

Zhang Yichen couldn't help but have a headache when he heard this, and said that it was indeed the case.

This year, there were major cases in Zhangqiu County, blue-faced ghosts, Zhishilang, Wang Bo rebelled, Changbai Mountain group of thieves, and now there is a gang of cattle thieves, for Zhang Yichen, a parent official in a place, these are all fatal things, just one case, don't think about his performance appraisal this year, and now it has appeared one after another, don't want to have a good reputation for this performance.

Local officials in the Sui Dynasty were tested every three years and every year. Officials are promoted according to their performance, and they can be promoted after three years of good performance. If you don't do well in the exam, you may not be promoted after nine years, and you may even be demoted and demoted if you don't finish your job for three years.

There are many rigid assessment indicators for being a parent official, such as the growth of the number of household registrations, such as the collection of rents, and the number of criminal cases, the quality of public security, and so on.

If there are nine cattle slaughter cases in any of them, they will get bad performance evaluations, not to mention repeated banditry cases, and even anti-thieves.

Why is it that in ancient official records, there were very few murders, and sometimes there were only a few dozen death row prisoners in the entire dynasty?

It's not that everyone is a good person this year, but the result of deliberate control.

Magistrates are reluctant to sentence a death sentence because if they are sentenced to one, their performance will be reduced by a few points.

Therefore, if you can be private, you will be private, if you can negotiate, if you can't, you will be given a light sentence, or even simply conceal it.

But this year, Zhangqiu County couldn't hide it if he wanted to, and there was a thief.

However, in the end, Zhangqiu County reacted quite quickly, suppressed the anti-thieves, exterminated the group of thieves, and sent out a gang of cattle slaughterers, and they were immediately arrested.

Overall, the remediation was relatively fast.

"Zhang County Order, Luo Duwei, I Du Ruhui came to Zhangqiu, I knew that the situation here was bad, but I still came, I just want to come here to do something practical, experience and experience, I look at Zhang County Order and Luo Duwei, and I also want to do something practical and seek the well-being of one party. We had a little misunderstanding in the past, and now we will write it off, and in the future, the three of us will work together to do more practical things in this Zhangqiu County, how about it? In the future, Zhang Xianling will be in charge of the overall situation, and Du Wei and I will be in charge of civil and military affairs. ”

"County Lieutenant Du is magnificent, Luo Cheng admires it, I have done this cup, and I will definitely cooperate with the county order and the county lieutenant in the future to govern Zhangqiu County well."

The three of them toasted together.

A glass of wine, even if the past grievances have been revealed.

"Captain Luodu, tomorrow I still ask you to bring the county barracks back to the city and station." Du Ruhui took the initiative to say.

Unexpectedly, Luo Cheng shook his head.

"County Lieutenant Du, I have also been thinking about the garrison these days. The purpose of the establishment of the county barracks is because we are not safe here, so after thinking about it, I plan to adjust the location of the county barracks. Two teams of men and horses were stationed in the county seat and were responsible for the defense of the county. ”

"Two teams of 100 people are stationed outside the city, responsible for assisting in the defense of the county seat, as well as patrolling the official road."

"The other 300 people are stationed at the foot of Changbai Mountain in the north of the city, where there is a military station built when we suppressed bandits before, and I plan to have a team of 50 people stationed at a military station and six stations, so that we can keep an eye on the Changbai Mountain in our county and prevent new thieves from coming after the old bandits are exterminated."

Luo Cheng took the initiative to propose this new garrison method, and Du Ruhui was very surprised.

But just thinking about it, I think it's really good.

There is Changbai Mountain, an endless deep mountain and old forest, which is a place to hide filth and dirt, and now that the bandits have been exterminated, maybe when they will gather a lot of them.

If 300 county soldiers are stationed to guard the various roads into the mountains, it can indeed play a good preventive role.

"It's just that I have a request." Luo Chengdao.

"Captain Luo, please speak."

"Before the extermination of bandits in the mountains, but also arrested a lot of fugitives, the current military stations are mostly built in the villages of the fugitives before, those villages are now abandoned, although the fields reclaimed by the fugitives are registered in the official account books, but in fact they are still thrown there and no one takes care of them, so I want to ask the county to pull out the fields reclaimed by these fugitives to the nearest county barracks, so that they can cultivate the fields to supplement military supplies!"
