"Where Xia Tai is, the county was set up in the Qin period, which was the first in the world. Jin Riyan, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty, was enshrined here, and there were places such as Jin Shipi in the township, which was called ......"

On the country road, a group of hundreds of people, most of them were on foot, among which more than a dozen horses were ridden, and Wang Meng was among them. And this team of people is the villagers who joined the army as Xiao Yuandong said last night, and Wang Meng followed him into the township to take up his post.

As for the part of the army that belongs to the county and the supplies, they need to be distributed after Xiao Yuandong's military power is handed over. Of course, Wang Meng was not alone, and he was followed by more than a dozen officials and strong soldiers.

An old man in the team is talking to Wang Meng about the historical origin of Xiati, this old man looks kind, a beautiful hair hangs down to his chest, it is the Xiatai County Ling Zhai Ci who accepted the appointment of the line, and the left and right are called Zhai Gong, who can organize hundreds of villagers to welcome the king, which can be seen that he is not a lonely and unknown person in the township.

In the process of Zhai Ci's narration, Wang Meng always smiled at the corner of his mouth, and his face also had a look of serious listening, and he made some emotional reactions from time to time, always lagging behind half a horse, and was not arrogant because of the other party's polite compliments.

Although the two sides were courteous, the actual atmosphere was far from being as peaceful as it seemed. Half of this team of villagers are old and young, probably because they are worried that if they gather too much strength, they will be directly detained and requisitioned by Wang Shi. In the turbulent era, it is not easy for the people to survive, and being able to gather hundreds of half-hundred-year-old people shows that this Zhai Gong is also attentive.

As Wang Meng moved forward, he was also thinking about the hearts of these villagers. Wang Shi's forwards probed into their homeland, and they either had neither the strength nor the courage to resist, although the situation forced them to take the initiative to surrender, but they could not trust Wang Shi. This Zhai Ci took great pains to set up such a welcome gift, which shows that in addition to being vigilant, he also has the idea of attracting and relying on the power of the royal master.

While Wang Meng was thinking about it, the other villagers in the team were also looking at him half-concealedly, and they were also full of vigilance and speculation about his arrival, which was far from the welcoming attitude shown on the surface.

"This Wang Langjun is really too young, and he is still immature compared to my parents and grandchildren. What kind of intention did the king put him in the countryside......

"Lao Suo, don't be light because of his young age, it is said that the general Shen in Tianzhong Xingtai is not too old, and it is inevitable that he will be dedicated to young sages. This Lang Jun may have some kind of conspiracy and danger in his heart, and once it is revealed, it will make my villagers unhappy......"

Many whispering voices sounded in the team, and some even reached Wang Meng's ears, and that Zhai Ci was also quietly squinting at him, seeing that his demeanor had not changed significantly, and he couldn't help but muttered something in his heart.

"Lao Suo is tired of sound, always boasting about the country, he is really cowardly, and he lacks much knowledge, which makes Lang Jun laugh. The countryside has been out of order for a long time, and they are thirsty for the king's order to pass on again, Lang Jun was ordered to enter here, and he has not yet had time to ask the general of Taichung if he has a cardinal order to report? But there is a life, although we and other villagers are despicable, but we must also do our best to pursue it. ”

Zhai Ci snorted, looked at Wang Meng and said.

After Wang Meng heard this, he hurriedly raised his arm and bowed his hand, lowered his head and said: "If you enter late, you can call the Ming Mansion to call you." Xingtai is virtuous and brave, the younger generation is only in the middle, and it is really difficult to hope for the general. This time I was ordered to enter the township, but also hope that the villagers will not complain about me because of stupidity, and the township virtue will be a little more beneficial, so that I can get close to the sage and make a little progress. ”

Although Wang Meng's tone was tight, his attitude was also respectful and kind, but it made people not feel bad, and he arrived at Jin's time between talking and touring.

The location of Jin's Pi is an open soil high slope, on the left side is a hilly mountain forest, on the right side there is a white canal old road cut through, the slope is semi-barren, you can see dry beach silt and depressed reed ponds everywhere, at a glance it is no different from other places in Guanzhong.

"The poor country is cold, bandits are rampant, and the old and decayed are ashamed to not be able to protect the peace of one side...... Although the king ordered the establishment of a county government, after all, the days are short, and there is no time to set up an office in a hurry, so it can only be convenient to settle down in a simple house first, which is not intentionally neglected......"

On the way, the villagers in the procession gradually dispersed and returned home. In the end, only Zhai Ci and more than 20 people around him were left, and Wang Meng and his servants walked through a river ditch and jungle to a half-remnant dock wall set up in the wilderness, and then Zhai Ci pointed to the dock wall with many ragged bodies in and out, and said to Wang Meng apologetically.

Wang Mengce immediately stepped forward and looked at it for a while, the barren grass around the dock wall was overgrown, and there was a hidden micro-path that showed through, and there were occasionally some burned farmland on the wasteland, and some crops such as woad and millet were sparsely planted. The peasants toiled unkempt, and only when they noticed someone approaching did they raise their faces with a look of vicious vigilance.

The dock wall has been built in an unknown year, and the outer wall has collapsed more than half, only repaired with some messy grass and bamboo hedges, and a large amount of human and animal feces and other filth have been piled up under the wall.

After a short wait-and-see, Wang Mengcai came back again, looked at Zhai Ci Zhengse, and said: "The younger generation entered here, originally ordered to help the Ming Mansion, if it wasn't for the evil guests, the Ming Mansion said so, it would be too outward." I am not a disciple of the Shi clan Rong Liang Liang, in previous years, it was difficult to escape the famine, digging earth and cave dwellings are ordinary, grass huts and thatched huts, where can I shelter a little from the wind and snow, how dare I be picky. ”

When Zhai Ci heard Wang Meng say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his old face became thicker: "Wang Cheng can have such a considerate thought, it really makes me breathe a sigh of relief, in fact, ......"

"In fact, the younger generation and the Ming Mansion, if there is no king's order to implicate, it is just a stranger in the wilderness, and it is already inexhaustible to be able to get a little guidance. But because of the weight of the king's life, because he does not dare to despise himself, he cannot go into evil, he is not close to filth, he is close to virtue when he encounters virtue, and he is beheaded when he encounters evil. Only this is self-cherishing, and I really don't dare to give up because of the cheapness of favors. ”

When Wang Meng said this, his face became even more solemn: "The county governance is unavoidable. Because of this, it is more necessary to be vigilant, and I dare not indulge in the face of the Ming Mansion. The king's ministers do not live in deserted houses, and the king's law does not care for thieves. I don't dare to ask for a place to live in Huaxuan, but I want to draw a clear circle in the middle of the Ming Mansion, and allow me to ram the earth and cut down the wood, and build my own house......"

"The kid is rampant......"

Before Wang Meng's words fell, a strong junior behind Zhai Ci had already burst out loud.

After Wang Meng heard this, his eyes widened suddenly, and he held his saber and said angrily: "The king's life is in his body, whoever dares to force me to do evil will fight for life and death!" ”

"Stand down!"

Seeing this, Zhai Ci's eyes slanted slightly, pointed to the person beside him and reprimanded, then looked at Wang Meng, and said in a condensed voice: "This dock wall, in the old years, the villagers survived in the chaos, and the old man was fortunate to be among them. ”

"If you enter the law, you will be a thief outside the law! If this township can be called a righteous land, and the people can live in peace, why should they escape to the wilderness? The righteousness of the king is on the shoulder, Kuang supports the orthodoxy, because it is a fierce battle of the three auxiliaries, where the king's order is laid out. If it weren't for Zhai Gong to bear the life of Xingtai, the general would be in the right direction, and he would not be able to use it here! But if Gong Zhai is just a false promise, Meng Ning will not die in this township! ”

Wang Meng drew a knife in his hand and held it horizontally in front of him: "What is the pity of being stupid and dying?" Please try it out in the public, use it on the stage, stand up with loyalty and bravery, thousands of magic swords, and the evil thieves will survive for a while, and they will be slaughtered for a long time! ”

As Wang Meng drew his knife, Zhai Ci and everyone behind him turned to the side, and more than a dozen strong soldiers came to hug Zhai Ci in the middle. However, after a while, Zhai Ci raised his hand and pushed everyone away, laughed and walked up, pointed at Wang Meng and said with a smile: "The young sage in the sky, the strong bones are difficult to hide, and if you try it a little, it will be revealed." ”

As he spoke, his face returned to his previous appearance of kindness, and he sighed, not lacking melancholy: "The king's spirit is strong in the sky, and I am honest and jealous in the three Qin fathers, and the countryside has been lacking order for a long time, and the villagers have been out of virtue for a long time." Today, Wang Lang is brought here, and it is indeed a little difficult, but I also want to ask Wang Lang to try it. The old man has a short plan, even if he has the responsibility to benefit the people and think about it, he is really powerless. I deeply hope that Wang Lang can abide by this will and sweep away these filthy and evil places, so that the miserable people in this cold country can return to peace again! ”

The old man's face changed so quickly, Wang Meng couldn't react for a while, although he had gradually succeeded, but after all, he was still a little immature.

It wasn't until Zhai Ci stepped forward that he took his knife-holding hand with no suspicion and enthusiasm, and put away the saber a little stiffly, signaling everyone behind him to put away their weapons as well, and then squeezed out a stiff smile: "After serving the Ming Mansion with a fierce self-service, I am on standby to pick up the leftovers, and I dare not slack off." ”

When Zhai Ci heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he personally helped Wang Meng onto the horse, and then said with a relieved face: "The general is a strong man in the town, ambitious to take care of the side, and even sent this heroic young man into the township for use, but it can be known that benevolence cares for me, the countryside is governed, and the people are safe, just around the corner!" ”

Seeing that the old man looked elated, Wang Meng also felt the teaching for a while, and he learned a vivid lesson at the beginning of his entry. He didn't know where things would have taken if he had lived here with a moment of timidity, a desire to endure humiliation, or if he had simply walked away in a discouraged manner. But now, he deeply feels that if he wants to succeed in this in the future, there will definitely be no shortage of similar challenges.

Although it is said that there is an elite of the Hongwu Army who can be used as his backer in the near future, General Xiao also made it very clear before leaving that the Hongwu Army is stationed here for its military mission, and it is not all to escort him. If he really asks for help at every turn, it only means that he himself is not worthy of this position.

For example, if he really returned to the Hongwu Army camp directly to complain regardless of his grievances this time, it would be tantamount to directly erasing and negating the Hongwu Army's previous efforts to appease these townsmen, even if the Hongwu Army was willing to come forward to help him and kill these townsmen who made things difficult for him, and then what?

It is true that he was appointed by Xingtai to Xia Tai County, and this Zhai Ci is also the county order appointed by Xingtai!

If Wang Meng learned to apply what he learned and do what he could do, then today's lesson made him understand that no matter how clear the goal is, there will always be twists and turns on the road.

This Zhai Ci tolerated him because he wanted to take advantage of the situation and did not dare to deal with evil, and he didn't need to take advantage of these townsmen to make a difference in this situation. The existence of Xingtai and the existence of Hongwu Army just make people dare not ignore him. And if he wants to be truly respected, he still needs to rely on his own efforts.
