In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Pen, fun, pavilion www.biquge.info thousands of doors and thousands of pupils, always replace the new peach with the old charm.

Another year is coming to an end.

"Deceive others as if you deceive the heavens, and do not deceive yourself; Losing the people is losing the country, why bear it? Shen Zhushu read it below: "Good! This is good! ”

"In my opinion, this one is better!" Yang Xiancheng shook his head and read: "Resident officials should think about doing their duty; It is especially expensive to be in politics and conform to the will of the people. This coupling is very good! ”

"Master Shen, Yang Xiancheng, this one is not bad!" Liu County Lieutenant pointed to another piece of red paper and read: "You two look at how well this is written: you don't talk too much about politics, you must rest and self-denial; When the official affairs are in general, everything is related to the people's livelihood and the national economy! Alas, what a hard choice! ”

"These three are all good couplets, but the old man likes this sentence the most." Yan Xiangshi, who was invited by Xia Hongsheng to write the couplet, said with a smile: "It is not honorable to gain an official, and it is not disgraceful to lose an official, don't say that an official is useless, the place depends on an official; Eat the people's food, wear the people's clothes, the people can be bullied, and they are also the people! This connection is easy to understand, catchy, everyone can understand the meaning, and it is most suitable to be posted outside this main entrance. These couplets are all made by the mountain chief, or listen to the meaning of the mountain chief! ”

Everyone looked at Xia Hongsheng, and Xia Hongsheng waved his hand: "Whatever, not only in front of the county yazheng hall, but also in front of the county yazheng hall, the county yamen, the main book yamen, the pawn and punishment yamen, the officials' rooms and household rooms all have their own doors, and they can always be pasted." As for the outside of the county office, let's do what Mr. Yan said. After all, it is a place where everyone can pass by and can see, and it is better to be popular. Otherwise, everyone won't understand it, and it won't be interesting. ”

So it was decided.

"Stick, high point on the left!" Xia Hongsheng commanded below: "It's high, it's high, it's a little lower!" Okay, just right, post it! ”

With Xia Hongsheng's voice, a pair of couplets were neatly pasted on both sides of the gate of the county government of Jingyang County.

When the servants came down from the ladder, everyone stood below and looked at the solemn and powerful characters on the red paper on both sides, and read it several times in their mouths, but they didn't realize that their hearts were a little agitated.

"Mr. Yan, I'm not in Chang'an these days, I don't know how Master Li is?" Xia Hongsheng turned his head from the couplet and asked Yan Xiangshi.

Yan Xiangshi sighed and shook his head: "I passed out again a few days ago, and it was easy to wake up, so I couldn't get up again in bed, but I was afraid that time was running out." ”

"Have you ever asked Daoist Sun to go and see it?" Xia Hongsheng asked again.

Yan Xiangshi nodded, his expression was a little gloomy: "I've seen it, and I said that I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive the spring." ”

Even though he had expected it, Xia Hongsheng was still shocked: "Your Majesty, do you know?" ”

"Your Majesty naturally knows." Yan Xiangshi said: "I also sent the grandfather and the imperial doctors of the Tai Yi Department to visit and treat together. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also visited frequently. ”

"I should also go to visit Master Li, but I don't know what to say when I get there. From the bottom of my heart, I don't want to see Master Li like that, and I don't want to believe that his time is short. Xia Hongsheng listened to Yan Xiangshi's words, and he also felt uncomfortable. He has always had a very good impression of Li Gang, so he regrets it very much.

"After all, it's all going to happen." Yan Xiangshi patted Xia Hongsheng's shoulder and said.

"The man who is the master of heaven and earth, the reverse journey of all things, the one who passes through time, and the passer-by of a hundred generations. Floating like a dream......" Xia Hongsheng sighed: "Parasitic mayflies in the heaven and earth, a drop in the sea, mourning the moments of my life, envying the infinite ...... of the Yangtze River"

Yan Xiangshi shook his head and turned around and went back to the academy.

Xia Hongsheng also shook his head, freed himself from this depressed mood, and raised his eyes to see where the other people in the county government were talking about where these couplets were better, and his heart couldn't help but be infected. Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Something has to be left behind for posterity to see.

I try my best to make this Datang better, maybe it is the best tribute to these people.

Thinking about this, Xia Hongsheng also saw a lot. Stepping into the county office, I looked everywhere and pasted the couplet.

After pasting the couplet, everyone came out of the county office together, Xia Hongsheng looked at everyone, arched his hand with a smile, and said: "Hahahaha, everyone, see you next year!" ”

"Hehe, the old Xi is sent, and the new Xi is ushered in. The county order adults have a happy New Year! Master Shen smiled, and everyone laughed in unison.

After everyone dispersed, Xia Hongsheng locked the gate of the county government by himself, looked back at the red and pleasing couplet, nodded with satisfaction, and then took a step and left the county office.

The year has come.

On the way back to Zhuangzi, I deliberately did not take the carriage and watched as I walked.

The smell of the New Year is already strong, but there are many fewer people on the street. It's time to prepare at home, it's inconvenient to go on the street.

It's just that this year is destined to be a busy year.

According to Tang law, Xia Hong was promoted to the county magistrate, and he was not allowed to leave the yamen during the Chinese New Year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I had to go to the Yuan Ri Dynasty Meeting, and I used to have privileges, so I could go if I wanted to, and I didn't want to go. Now that it has become a county order, there is no qualification level to enter the court, and finally it can be justified not to go, but it is called a concubine, and it is impossible not to go.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I had to go to the palace with Li Lizhen to pay New Year's greetings to Li Lao Er and Empress Changsun, and then go to Li Yuan to pay New Year's greetings together.

In the past two days, I found someone to be on duty in the yamen, although I didn't need Xia Hongsheng to be on duty in the yamen by myself, but I ate in the palace for two days, and I couldn't stop at ease.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, all kinds of people came to the door. Only then did they deal with the gang of gentlemen playing in the back, and some people from Jingyang County came to the door in front. are all local rich squires, Xia Hongsheng can't do without them if he wants to work in the business, and it's not good to thank customers.

I finally had a day off on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and I had to go to work on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Bitter!

Xia Hongsheng sighed, and this year has passed.

"Shen Zhu, write some invitations for the county, and invite all the businessmen in Jingyang County to the county." At the meeting, which was secretly called "the first work meeting of the new year" in Xia Hongsheng's heart, Xia Hongsheng said to Shen Zhushu: "The time is set at the end of the first month. ”

"Yes!" Master Shen nodded.

"Yang County Cheng, in a few days, the county will invite a few helpers from the household department to come over, and you can find a few clever officials to accompany them in person to find out the location of the local limestone mine." Xia Hongsheng said to Yang Xiancheng again: "There is still a census, and in three months, it must be completed." Now the cold weather is not to say, after the beginning of spring, all construction sites will resume work immediately, and the five schools will be completed before May. After the completion of the census, according to the results of the census, you have to go door-to-door, but all children who have reached the age of six must complete their enrollment by September. Then thou shalt take the servants and make an enquiry, and if any child who has attained the age of six and is not enrolled in the church, the person in charge of the household shall be arrested, and the child shall be enrolled, and the child shall be released at the age of the child. ”

"Obedience!" Yang Xiancheng and Liu County Lieutenant said together.

Xia Hongsheng smiled and said: "As for this county, I have to go to Chang'an to enter the palace, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a few days." The county government is responsible for all things, and Yang County Cheng is presiding over it. (To be continued.) )
