Chapter 534 - A Paper Appointment (Four Changes)
Ziyang County, founded in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, is located in the north of Zishui (Tuojiang River). () The ancients believed that the south of the water is yin, and the north of the water is yang, because its geographical location is in the north of Zishui, so it is named Ziyang.
Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian arrived in Chengdu together, and they were able to easily become prominent with the talents of the three of them.
After going to the Zhaoxian Pavilion, Xu Shu chose to serve as the county magistrate in Ziyang County and take charge of the party. Although Ziyang County is small, the city walls are low, the place is simple, and it is poor. But Xu Shu put his roots in Ziyang County. Because this is his first appearance, it is the first starting point for him to become an official from a cloth cloth.
After Xu Shu served as the county magistrate, he made great efforts to Ziyang.
When he first took office, he did not immediately rectify the bullies and scoundrels in the city, but first controlled the power of the county government in his hands, and replaced the county government with his own people. Moreover, Xu Shu turned out to be a ranger, and his martial arts were very outstanding, and he easily mastered the military and political power of Ziyang County.
After he grasped the military power, Ziyang entered the era of Xu Shu.
With the military power in hand, Xu Shu has enough strength.
At this time, Xu Shu began to drastically rectify internal affairs and deal with internal troubles. All the bullies and scoundrels who disturbed the people were arrested and thrown into the towers of the city to build the walls. In this way, the atmosphere of Ziyang has gradually changed, and the people's customs have gradually improved, and their appearance has taken on a new look.
Xu Shu presided over the military administration of Ziyang, encouraged the people to produce, supplied the people with cattle, and sent soldiers to help the people harvest grain, so that Ziyang's economy developed rapidly in a short period of time.
With the improvement of people's lives, Xu Shu's prestige gradually increased in Ziyang. In fact, Xu Shu was able to change Ziyang in a short period of time, on the one hand, because of his own outstanding ability, and on the other hand, because Ziyang County is a small county town, even if there are bullies and scoundrels in the city, or the children of families who are bullying people are not in the stream, so there is nothing to worry about.
Since Xu Shu took office, he has supported agriculture and encouraged commerce, and Ziyang has flourished and flourished. He himself is also honest and impartial in enforcing the law, and has won the support of the people.
On this day, a horse-drawn carriage slowly entered Ziyang County.
On the wheel of the carriage, a fierce man was driving. The man's complexion is dark, his face is fierce, especially a pair of tiger eyes, which are even more shining, flashing with a terrifying light, which is terrifying.
This person is none other than Dian Wei.
Next to Dian Wei, there were two black-clothed warriors, who were also responsible for protecting Wang Can's safety.
In the carriage, the person sitting was naturally Wang Can. He wore a long crown and a black cotton robe, and his outfit was simple, with no special attire and no brocade clothes. However, Wang Can sat in the carriage and had a terrifying bearing, which was the prestige that Wang Can had cultivated in a high position for a long time.
The carriage stopped in the city, and the group did not go to the county capital, but stopped in the restaurant in the county seat.
After putting down the luggage, Wang Can let the two black-clothed warriors stay in the restaurant to rest, and then took Dian Wei out of the restaurant and went to the city.
Wang Can came to Ziyang this time to see the situation in Ziyang.
The two were walking on the road, and Wang Can suddenly said: "Shanjun, touch a string of copper coins and come out, and pretend to fall to the ground." ”
Dian Wei raised his eyebrows, with a puzzled look in his eyes, he didn't understand if Wang Can's brain was stuck, why he suddenly let him take out a string of copper coins and drop them on the ground. Although Dian Wei was puzzled, he still followed Wang Can's words, put his hand into his belt, kept groping for a while, and then pretended to drop a string of copper coins on the ground.
There are more than 100 copper coins in this string, that is, more than 100 coins.
If you go to buy steamed buns, you can buy about fifty of them, and if the price of steamed buns is cheaper, you can buy more things.
For a small city like Ziyang, picking up more than 100 yuan at once can be said to be pie in the sky.
The copper coin fell to the ground with a clatter, Wang Can and Dian Wei ignored it and slowly continued to walk forward, but the speed of the two was not fast, and they did not look back. For Wang Can, one hundred dollars is just a small amount, but this can test the folk customs of Ziyang?
In this way, Wang Can can have a general understanding of the situation in the city. Although some generalizations are partial, or they are picky in the egg, they can be regarded as a means of temptation.
As soon as the two of them walked a short distance, they heard a shout from behind: "Childe, wait a minute!" ”
When Wang Can heard this, he immediately stopped.
He turned around, only to see a young man in shabby clothes and a sallow face running quickly. Although the young man was skinny, the shabby clothes on his body were cleanly washed, his eyes were bright and clear, and there were no stains on his face, he held up a string of copper coins with both hands, handed it to Wang Can, and said, "Childe, this is the copper coin you just dropped on the ground." ”
Wang Can took it and said, "Little brother, looking at so many copper coins, aren't you tempted?" ”
This sentence is a bit reckless.
However, the young man just blinked his eyes after hearing this, and then smiled and said, "I haven't seen so many copper coins, of course I'm tempted." But the adults taught me to support myself and not to have ill-gotten gains. Hehe, my task is to patrol the city every day to see who bullies the good and the good? Who is bullied but afraid to speak up? Then I went back to the county office and reported it to the adults, so that the adults could come forward to deal with these things. ”
When Wang Can heard this, he asked again, "Which one is it?" ”
The young man patted his chest and said, "Who else can there be, of course it is Lord Xu, the county commander." ”
Wang Can said again: "You patrol the city every day, what kind of reward does Lord Xu give you?" ”
The young man chuckled and said, "Lord Xu is good, he not only let us live in the county mansion, but also ensure our food and accommodation." Not only that, Mr. Xu will also give us lectures to teach us how to read and write, and how to be a human being. Lord Xu is a great good official, if it weren't for Lord Xu, I would have starved to death on the streets. ”
When Wang Can heard this, he admired Xu Shu's approach.
The young man in front of him must be a wandering beggar, Xu Shu took them in, and then let them patrol the streets, so as to not only save the wandering beggars, but also monitor the movements in the city. But what Wang Can can be sure of is that Xu Shu is using his own money to feed these children, which Wang Can does not agree with.
Rulers, be bold and careful.
Since these children are to be taken in, there is no need to take their own allowances, and a special amount can be allocated in the county government's expenses to collect the wandering beggars and teach them in a unified manner, so that they can learn a skill. The so-called teaching a man to fish is better than teaching a man to fish, which is the truth.
Wang Can thought for a while and said, "Little brother, I have a letter to give to you Lord Xu, since you are familiar with Lord Xu, can you help me deliver it?" I won't let you give it in vain, and I'll give you two copper plates as payment. ”
The young man thought for a moment and grinned, "Okay, deal." ”
Wang Can said: "Little brother is refreshing, I like it." In this way, you go to the restaurant with me first, and after I finish writing the letter, you will send the letter to Lord Xu, okay? ”
The boy said, "Let's go! ”
Wang Can took the young man to the restaurant, ready to complete the task of this trip. Although Wang Can encountered only a trivial matter, he could see the merits of Xu Shu's governance. The teenager Wang Can met alone can explain a lot of problems. He took the boy back to the restaurant, and after writing the letter, he enveloped the letter again, and then handed the letter to the boy, and asked the boy to hand over the letter to Xu Shu in person.
After solving Xu Shu's matter, Wang Can took Dian Wei and left Ziyang in a carriage.
This trip has achieved its purpose.
In fact, Wang Can's original intention was to come to Ziyang at the beginning, check on Xu Shu's situation, and then go to the place where Shi Tao and Meng Jian were governed, but although there is a gap between the two people and Xu Shu, it is enough to govern a small place like the county seat to achieve Cheng Yu's eight words of 'not closing the door at night and not leaving the road behind', so Wang Can did not continue to inspect, but directly led people back to Chengdu.
Wang Can's carriage drove quickly and left Ziyang County.
……
The county hall, the backyard study.
After Xu Shu dealt with the affairs of the day, he studied in the backyard and sorted out the housekeeping of Ziyang County by the way. As he was in his trance, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
Immediately, the young man's voice sounded: "Sir, I am Su Fu." ”
Su Fu is the boy Wang Can met.
His original name was Su Liu, and because he was the sixth in line, he was called Su Liu, but because of the loneliness at home, he had no official name. After Xu Shu took in Su Liu, he named him Su Fu.
Xu Shu heard the voice and said, "Come in!" ”
After Su Fu entered the house, he first saluted Xu Shu respectfully, and then said: "Sir, when I was patrolling the city today, I suddenly encountered a boy who dropped money on the ground, and after I picked up the money and returned it to the son, he asked me to send you a letter. As he spoke, Su Fu handed the letter on his waist to Xu Rong.
Xu Shu took the letter and asked, "What does Na Gongzi look like?" ”
Su Fu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I can't remember, I've forgotten." Well, but there is a scary strong man next to the boy, black and strong, very scary, my thighs are not as thick as his arms, it is too scary. As he spoke, Su Fu stretched out his hand and gestured.
Xu Shu smiled and sent Su Fu away.
In the house, only Xu Shu remained.
When he opened the envelope, the first thing that caught his eye was not the content of the letter, but a piece of paper to transfer him to Chengdu. Behind the order, it was Wang Can who wrote a handwritten letter to Xu Shu, Xu Shu carefully read the content of the letter, and his eyes suddenly moistened.
With this letter and letter sent by Wang Can personally, the suffering he has suffered for most of the past half a year has been worth it.
What an honor it is to be able to let Wang Can personally deliver the letter.
Xu Shu took the letter and the order, and was very happy in his heart, he did not announce the matter immediately, but went to the backyard. Because there's another person in the backyard who should share his joy.
That person is Xu Shu's mother.
When Xu Shu was studying in Jingzhou, Xu's mother was still living alone in Yingchuan, lonely.
After Xu Shu took office as the county magistrate of Ziyang County, he stabilized in Ziyang, and only then did he take Xu's mother to Ziyang and enjoy the joy of family. The ancients Yun parents are here, not far away, Xu's mother is alive, but Xu Shu is going to be scolded if he travels far away. Therefore, when Xu Shu came out of the mountain and served as the county magistrate of Ziyang County, he took over his old mother who was working hard in Yingchuan and enjoyed the joy of family.
Back in the backyard, Xu Shu handed the order and letter to Xu's mother.
When the old man saw it, he was also overjoyed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed. He stretched out his hand and rubbed Xu Shu's cheek, muttering to himself: "My son is out, my son is out!" ”
Hope for Jackie Chan, that's it.
When a mother learns that her son is born, she is naturally very happy.
Mother Xu, the same is true!
