Chapter 57: The Bow and Arrow Society
Although it is just a county office, and the scale of the county government in this era is not small, and the county government can be said to be the center of a county, covering an area of at least dozens of acres, which can be said to be complete, the lobby, the wings, and the prison are all available, and the houses are divided into several points, such as the county Cheng, the main book, the county lieutenant and other important members of the county, all work in a county compound, which is a comprehensive local government, and each has their office location in the county office, so it is necessary to bypass many porches in order to go to the backyard.
Don't look at the county government occupies a lot of land, but there are many things to manage here, from farming, litigation, taxation, supervision, arrest of bandits, etc., it can be said that the things of eating, drinking, and sleeping in a county have to be managed, so on the whole, although the redundancy phenomenon of the Great Song Dynasty is relatively strong, compared with the detailed division of labor in later generations, and the workload of officials in this era is still quite large, and the proportion of people who eat official meals and ordinary people cannot be compared with those of later generations.
Gao Huaiyuan, a person from later generations, naturally knows this, in this way, if you want to be a good official in this era, even if it is just a magistrate, it will be very hard, and in his opinion, although Lord Liu of Daye County is not a very good official, at least he is not a faint official, so he will be so polite to this Lord Liu.
When Gao Huaiyuan bypassed a few doors and came to the small garden behind the county office, Liu Zhixian was already waiting in the small pavilion in the garden, and sent someone to cook a pot of tea, waiting for Gao Huaiyuan to arrive.
For this third young master of the Gao family, Liu Zhixian's impression is also very good, not only because Gao Huaiyuan gave him gifts every other day, but also because he heard from Xing Zhutou and others that Gao Huaiyuan still has a good ability, the last time Jin Heihu was captured, he actually knew that Jin Heihu was planted in Gao Huaiyuan's hands, but this Gao young master acted relatively low-key and did not want to be in the limelight, so he let Xing Zhutou and his gang take the reward, so they didn't dare to underestimate this young Gao Huaiyuan, In addition, Gao Huaiyuan knew what to do very well, so Liu Zhixian also valued him very much, and when he heard that Gao Huaiyuan came to visit today, he quickly put down the matter at hand and invited him to come in to talk.
This time, Gao Huaiyuan only followed up Liu Zhixian, so he didn't prepare any gifts, but temporarily bought two jars of good wine on the street and gave them to Liu Zhixian, and he didn't plan to talk more here, just a kind of visit in courtesy.
After seeing Liu Zhixian, he also called himself a junior, after all, this Liu Zhixian is not young, and he can't be a young person so much, Liu Zhixian was very happy, pulled him and didn't let him go, sat down and chatted.
During this time, Liu Zhixian was indeed feeling a headache for what the official in the gatehouse said before, originally Daye this place, close to the Yangtze River, and adjacent to the Jin State, the place is not very peaceful, and there are more displaced people than some places in the south, which has caused more problems in this area, plus the Song and Jin wars a few years ago, the relationship between the two countries is very tense, so that Liu Zhixian, who is an official here, is under great pressure.
During this time, the matter of Jin Heihu had just been solved, and he and the people of the county government had just been praised by the prefect's yamen, and there was such a gang of ruthless bandits, and they did a few big cases in Daye, which caused a very bad impact, and made the people of Daye County a little worried, as the parent official of a county, there was such a thing in his own jurisdiction, he was naturally duty-bound, and he had to solve this trouble, but after so many days, he was stunned that he didn't even catch a bandit. And the errand sent out by Xing Zhutou actually disappeared two inexplicably, which gave Liu Zhixian a headache.
After seeing Gao Huaiyuan today, he suddenly remembered that Xing Zhutou said before that Gao Huaiyuan and one of his loyal servants had good skills, so he had an idea and pulled Gao Huaiyuan to discuss this matter.
After listening to Liu Zhixian's complaints, although Gao Huaiyuan was a little angry at what the bandits did, in his opinion, there is a way to steal for thieves, asking for money but not for life, after robbing property, they can't kill people, and these gangs of bandits actually kill people, not to mention, but also help the young woman of the bitter master's family, kill and dump the body on the side of the road after the spoil, this is really too much, what is even more infuriating is that these gangs of bandits are not only looking for rich people to start, they even do not let go of some civilians, and the daughters-in-law of two families are said to be more beautiful, They broke into their homes in the middle of the night, killed their families, raped the women, and finally killed them, what a bunch of immoral bastards.
But after he heard about this matter, although he also felt angry, but after all, this was a matter of the government, and he couldn't get rid of the bad luck of going out to find those bandits, and vaguely, he seemed to have heard that Liu Zhixian seemed to have something to say, so after he listened to it, he just sighed with emotion and said something accusing these bandits, but he didn't answer Liu Zhixian's words, and stepped forward to help Liu Zhixian solve this trouble.
After Liu Zhixian listened to Gao Huaiyuan's words, he was a little disappointed, and after talking for a long time, people were not surrounded by his own words, and it seemed that he wanted to find Gao Huaiyuan for help, but he couldn't say it if he didn't make it clear.
"As the parent official of a county, it should be the official's job to arrest bandits, but Young Master Gao also knows that here in Daye County, there are only dozens of archers and errands, what can this person do? And there seem to be a lot of bandits this time, and it seems that it is not easy to rely on Xing to catch the head of them alone!
I heard that Young Master Gao and one of your loyal servants have a good kung fu, and since Young Master Gao came to this county, he has a lot of good reputations, this time, I don't know if Young Master Gao can help this official?
What's more, as far as I know, Young Master Gao and Xing Zhutou have a pretty good personal relationship, and I can't bear to watch Xing Zhutou and them suffer! If this matter can't be resolved as soon as possible, this official, Xing Zhutou, and the county lieutenant Wang will all be unable to escape the blame, and they will be reprimanded from above!
In addition, there are not many capable people in this county, if Young Master Gao can help this official, as long as Young Master Gao needs the help of this official in the future, even if he speaks, the official guarantees that as long as he can help, he will definitely not shirk, and I hope that Young Master Gao will take some time out this time to help the county and remove this harm for the people of the county! ”
Liu Zhixian said to Gao Huaiyuan with affection and reason, now he is also sick and goes to the doctor, since Gao Huaiyuan has the ability, he might as well let him contribute to himself, if he can really solve this gang of bandits, maybe it will be of great help to his career in the future!
After Gao Huaiyuan listened to Liu Zhixian's words, he couldn't help but hesitate, according to this kind of arrest of bandits, although he felt that he was an upright person, he could be regarded as jealous and hateful, but doing this, it seemed that his original intention of temporarily acting in a low-key manner was a little violated, and it was a thankless thing, if he really found the bandits, it would be fatal, if he was not careful, he would have to pay the price, and in the end, even if he solved the bandits, he himself could not get any benefits and benefits, It's not worth doing it.
But excuse me, now that he knows kung fu, Liu Zhixian already knows, if he doesn't shirk it, he will inevitably have an estrangement with Liu Zhixian, and it will hinder him in doing things in this area in the future, what should I do?
Gao Huaiyuan lowered his head and fell silent, and his mind began to turn sharply, weighing this matter carefully, and complaining to himself in his heart, why did he run to the county office today! I was so depressed that I ended up getting myself in trouble!
"Young Master Gao, in fact, think about it carefully, this matter is also a good thing for the Gao family, after all, the Gao family is also a well-known big family in our Daye County, if those bandits are in this area, they will rarely hear about the Gao family, if one day they really have bad intentions towards the Gao family, it is difficult to guarantee that the Gao family will not be affected, and there are eggs under the nest? In fact, Young Master Gao said that he was helping the county, but in fact, he was helping himself! Liu Zhixian saw Gao Huaiyuan bowing his head and was silent, knowing that he was thinking about this problem, so he struck while the iron was hot and said to him again.
This sentence woke up Gao Huaiyuan, now he is here in Daye, the Gao family is actually his home, and the Gao family is a rich family in the local area, if those bandits really covet his family, maybe they will really attack his Gao family, now that he has Crouching Tiger Village, he is not afraid of bandits going there to loot, but on the side of the old mansion, there are only some domestic servants, once something happens, it may really be a big trouble.
So Gao Huaiyuan's mind began to move, but he still didn't immediately nod his head to agree to this matter, now he has gradually formed an instinctive way of thinking, since he does one thing, then he must give the maximum benefit of this matter, if he goes out to help the yamen arrest this bandit, then what benefits can he get?
The little abacus in Gao Huaiyuan's heart began to crackle, and a plan was gradually formed in his mind!
"Lord Liu is polite, there is such a thing in the county, it stands to reason that we should never stand idly by, even if the adults don't say it, if we learn about it, we will have to take care of it!" Gao Huaiyuan said.
Liu Zhixian was overjoyed in his heart, no matter whether Gao Huaiyuan could help with this favor or not, at least this sentence was there, and a little more strength would indeed be of great benefit to arresting these bandits, so he opened his mouth to thank him, but as soon as his words came out, he was interrupted by Gao Huaiyuan again.
"My lord, thank me slowly, although this matter is within the scope of the next, and it is not hidden from each other, in my family, because I have offended some villains before, I have to collect some nursing homes to maintain the safety of the family, my family does have a few people with a little ability, if I want to hold those thieves by myself, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it, but if I can bring those nursing homes to assist Xing Zhutou to arrest the thieves this time, I am a little more sure!" Gao Huaiyuan said to Liu Zhixian.
Liu Zhixian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that there are such good things, since this is the case, then please take Young Master Gao with your home as soon as possible and help Xing catch the head and arrest the thief!" ”
Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said: "My lord, please listen to the next words, although I want to do this in the next, but there is a problem, that is, no matter how I say it, it is just a civilian, and it is always unjustifiable to come forward to take the thief, and the identity is quite embarrassing, and once you meet a thief, you must not use a gun or a knife, and you must carry weapons, bows and arrows and other things, once someone investigates it, this matter reaches the ears of my father, and I must strictly reprimand him, once someone has ulterior motives, sue me for hiding weapons and raising private soldiers. This matter is not easy to handle, so if you want to arrest the thief, then please give us people a name, so that I can wait for the teacher to become famous! ”
When Liu Zhixian heard this, there seemed to be some truth in what Gao Huaiyuan said, he had such concerns, which showed that Gao Huaiyuan, a kid, was quite thoughtful, so he thought for a while and said: "Then from the perspective of Young Master Gao, what name is it more appropriate to come forward?" ”
Gao Huaiyuan pretended to be thinking, and after being silent for a while, he spoke: "This matter is easy to say and easy to do, and difficult to say and difficult to do, it's all on the adults alone!" ”
"Young Master Gao might as well say it directly, with the friendship between you and me, what is there to say?" Liu Zhixian is in a hurry to solve this matter now, and he can't care so much, so he hurriedly got close to Gao Huaiyuan.
"This is also simple to say, if you want to come to Daye here, it is not too far from the Jin country, bandits are rampant in the territory during this time, if the adults can follow the example of other places, organize a bow and arrow club in Daye, and recruit people to join the society to practice shooting, you can solve these troubles!
The formation of this bow and arrow club, for our Daye County has a lot of benefits, once the bow and arrow club is formed, not only can let the people practice martial arts and fitness, but also can do something for the local force, and we and other people themselves live here, but also the responsibility to defend the land, with the name of the bow and arrow club, once you meet a thief, you can also fight it in groups, in this way, the county government does not need to pay to raise soldiers, but when there is something, someone is available, isn't it the best of both worlds? In this way, you can not only defend the township in peacetime, but also protect the territory against the enemy in case of repeated wars with the Jinren, which can be said to kill multiple birds with one stone!
And joining the Bow and Arrow Society in the lower belt nursing home, and accompanying Xing to arrest the thief, it is justified, and no one can accuse us of our behavior! I don't know what adults think? ”
Gao Huaiyuan finally said his thoughts, after he came to this era, he learned from many people that the Great Song Dynasty actually had a strong folk martial arts, during the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many organizations such as the Bow and Arrow Society and the Horse Buying Society, which played a considerable role in resisting the invasion of the Jin people, and many famous generals in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty came out of such groups, but later, after the Southern Song Dynasty favored the south of the Yangtze River, the political situation gradually stabilized, and the imperial court was worried that the local armed forces would endanger their rule, so they would gradually withdraw the weapons of the people, let these clubs dissolve, so many places have canceled such clubs.
But in some places, there are still such organizations, and they have not completely disappeared, and Gao Huaiyuan is also after hearing about such a thing, he will hit the idea on this bow and arrow club, in his opinion, if a nation wants to be strong, in this era, the folk martial arts are unstoppable, and the folk customs are strong, then even if the foreign race wants to eat the Han nation, I am afraid it is not easy, so he will take this opportunity to encourage Liu Zhixian to build a bow and arrow club in Daye, so that he can join the bow and arrow club, Justifiably owning weapons, bows and arrows can also allow the local area to gradually form a martial style, in short, for the Great Song Dynasty, there is only a benefit and no harm.
After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Liu Zhixian hesitated a little, he didn't think about the matter of the Bow and Arrow Society, and the county lieutenant Wang in the county government also mentioned this matter many times, and wanted to make such a thing in Daye to defend the township, but the problem is that although he knows that such a bow and arrow club is of great benefit to maintaining local security, but sometimes once this kind of group is allowed to sit big, the people will be fierce and will cause some trouble, and although the imperial court does not explicitly prohibit such organizations, However, the imperial court did not encourage the promotion of this kind of organization, and if he got a bow and arrow club in Daye County, he might be upset, which would not be a good thing!
"This ......! What Young Master Gao said is also reasonable, but although a club like the Bow and Arrow Society has existed since the establishment of the Dynasty, the imperial court does not encourage such things now, and the matter is more urgent at the moment, and it may be too late to organize it temporarily! Liu Zhixian couldn't help but want to shirk.
"It's not bad for Lord Liu to worry, this matter is not in a hurry, but now there is a way, you can respond to emergencies, in our county, there are many large families, as far as I know, many large families have some nursing homes, and this group of bandits is more rampant, only relying on the strength of Xing Zhutou and me, it is not easy to deal with, and they hide in the people to find them It is also troublesome, it is better for adults to order the big families in the township, temporarily send out people, prepare their own weapons, to maintain the safety of the township and the village, and strictly guard against death, But you can also kill the arrogance of those thieves! And my family happens to be a big family in the local area, so if there are people in each township who want to arrest thieves, then even if I come forward, no one will say anything anymore! Gao Huaiyuan saw Liu Zhixian's hesitation, so he didn't worry about it, and he counted on him to agree to form a bow and arrow club, and retreated to the second, first let him promise to the big families in the townships and towns, organize some manpower, or a temporary civil defense team, at least he brought a group of people to do things, and he could also use this to cover people's eyes and ears!
When Liu Zhixian heard this, this was a solution, not only did not organize the bow and arrow club, but also played a role in defending the township to arrest bandits, and it was those big families who contributed money and efforts, and there was no need for the county government to spend money to do things, but it was also a temporary solution, so when he agreed, he said that he would discuss it with the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, and immediately acted according to Gao Huaiyuan's idea.
