An alpha's ancient life record

The days passed without incident, and Shen Qingshu gradually adapted to life in a small county.

She still has the ability to learn. Under the guidance of Master Zhou, she made rapid progress every day. By inference, she quickly mastered the affairs of the county government and was able to handle them alone.

She deals with subordinate documents, approves the budget, and manages affairs of the sixth house every day. In the court, she deals with trivial disputes, such as stealing cattle and occupying land, and beating people for owed money.

Most people live their lives honestly, and there are indeed few serious cases, but it is true, given the work efficiency of the county government, it is not bad if there are homicides every day.

In addition, Shen Qingshu checked the accounts. The method of making accounts at this time was useless to her, and she found a lot of deficiencies that did not match.

These are all old accounts left by the former county magistrate. It is hard to tell who embezzled the money, and it is difficult to pursue responsibility. Shen Qingshu can only raise it high and let it go lightly.

However, after this incident, Master Zhang and the others were even more cautious. Seeing that she was young, she would not slack off even when she was assigned to a remote village. A little more recognition, and more dedication in doing things.

It's good that Shen Qingshu has a job here, but Lin Wei is rather boring when she stays in the back house. There are neither her relatives nor friends here. Shen Qingshu can't accompany her most of the time, and gets along all day long. There are only two maidservants.

The wives of several officials wanted to get close to her, but there was a difference in age and education between the two parties. Most of them were illiterate, and they couldn't talk without housekeeping, husband and children.

After chatting a few times, she felt bored and uninterested, but she didn't look down on it. Most women don't have the qualifications to study like her, but they have different thoughts, so they really don't have any desire to talk.

She also didn't want to see those children. After seeing them a lot, she would feel a little envy in her heart, and would think about what her mother said. She said that a woman is lonely in the back house, and she always needs a child. She is afraid of herself. When my heart is shaken, I don't look at it, don't think about it.

It's better to stay at home, read and draw, but after a long time, I feel boring, and I just kill time all day long.

When Shen Qingshu was relieved from his busy work, he finally realized that he had too little time in the back house and neglected Lin Weizhi. She was a novice at first, and it happened to coincide with the busy farming season, when the autumn tax was collected, and she was so busy every day. I sleep in bed, and sometimes I have dinner with Mr. Zhou, eating and chatting in the front hall.

Lin Weizhi would go to listen to her trial at the beginning, and the two of them discussed the case, and they could still laugh when they encountered interesting cases. Later, when the farming season was busy and the number of cases decreased, she went down to the villages and towns to inspect, and the communication became less and less.

She recalled that Lin Weizhi didn't complain to her, but was just bored and lazy, and his smile seemed to gradually fade away. Shen Qingshu secretly scolded himself for being careless. He came all the way here. He was her lover and only family member. How could he neglect her so much? Woolen cloth?

She blamed herself, and reminded herself secretly that Xiu Muri must spare time to accompany Lin Weizhi.

This day, after breakfast, Shen Qingshu suggested: "Azhi, I heard that there is a Juehua Temple on the mountain near Yueshui County, which has been passed down for many years and is very effective. How about we go to worship together today? ?”

"Temple?" Lin Weizhi raised her eyes in surprise, "What are you asking, don't you usually believe in these things?"

Compared with the vast majority of people in this era, she felt that Shen Qingshu somehow lacked some reverence for ghosts and gods.

Shen Qing said softly: "I don't ask for anything, I just want this place to be famous. I heard that the mountains are beautiful. Let's go out to relax and pay my respects along the way."

Lin Weizhi knew why. To be honest, she did have a little resentment in her heart, but Shen Qingshu studied hard for ten years and finally realized her ambition. What she did was serious. Wasn't her father like this before?She couldn't do anything unreasonable and ask her to leave her official duties and stay with her.

What's more, such a posture is too ugly.

She was a little excited in her heart, but she still asked calmly, "Don't you have to do errands today?"

"Recently, there are fewer things to do. Take a rest today, and it will be the same in the future." Shen Qingshu looked at her, with a faint smile in his eyes, his expression was unreasonably gentle.

Lin Weizhi's face was slightly hot, she stood up to cover it up and said, "Alright then, I'll go and change into some more convenient clothes."

When the two left the inner house, they bumped into Master Zhou just in time. Seeing the expression on his face, Shen Qingshu's heart sank.

"what happened?"

"My lord, I'm going to see you." Master Zhou hurried forward, seeing Lin Wei standing beside him, putting on a veiled hat, he stopped immediately, "Are you and your wife going out?"

"Well, what happened?"

"It's the same when you come back to deal with it."

Shen Qingshu was troubled for a moment, she asked, maybe the vacation would be ruined, if she didn't ask, she would be worried again, guessing wildly in her heart.

Next to her, Lin Weizhi took a step forward, made a choice for her, and said, "Master Zhou, just speak up, don't think too much."

Master Zhou had no choice but to tell the truth, "Actually, it's about the autumn tax. Sanxin Township refused to accept it, and another fight broke out. I've already sent people there. The matter is not urgent. Your lord will see how to deal with it later."

Mr. Zhou didn't intend to disturb you. Although the court stipulated a rest day, but in practice, you can say that you rest today, and you will report to the official another day?

He followed Shen Qingshu all day long, and admired her very much. She was born in the uncle's house, but she was not afraid of hard work, and could calm down to do things. She really deserved to be Mrs. Lin's son-in-law.

"You did the right thing. First, send the yamen servants to stabilize the situation. Don't cause any trouble. Ask the head of Sanxin Township to come see me tomorrow, prepare the household registration form, and the records of tax payment in previous years. And..." Shen Qingshu also He breathed a sigh of relief and made arrangements in an orderly manner.

There are too many factors affecting the taxation of grain. The Yan Dynasty still adopted the previous tax package system. The tax of a county, each village and each township, was responsible for collecting the tax. It's simple and easy.

But in the future, the court will not care how the head of the village can squeeze his mud legs to earn back.

It is impossible for Shen Qingshu to change the tax system by himself. He can only make the work more detailed to make the tax package for each township more reasonable.

For landlords and wealthy households such as the head of the village, while measuring their contribution, they also beat them more, so that they will not exploit too much and force the people into desperation.A life lawsuit is her bottom line, and she will never let it go lightly.

However, even for such a slight change, the process is full of resistance. These village chiefs have wealth and prestige in the local area. Shu had no choice but to go down to the villages and towns to coerce and persuade him as the county magistrate.

It's getting too far, in short, it's not that she doesn't want to spend time off with her daughter-in-law, the first year in office is always the hardest.

There were no other accidents after that, and the two went out smoothly. When they reached the foot of Wenshan Mountain, the carriage could no longer get on, so they got off and walked.

It was the ninth month of Shiwei, which was in the third autumn. There were not many people who came to climb the mountain and visit the temple. The two of them were walking on the quiet mountain road, and they only saw a few people occasionally.

On both sides of the mountain road, the trees are still lush and green, not withered and yellow, and there are birds singing from time to time, which is quite different from the capital.

In the beginning, the two walked hand in hand, chatting about recent interesting events and mutual feelings, talking and laughing, very happy. After climbing for a while, Lin Weizhi felt sore on his feet and began to gasp for breath. After a while, I was speechless.

Stopping to rest again, Shen Qingshu was fine, and handed the water hyacinth to her with a smile, and asked, "Can you still walk?"

Lin Weizhi took a sip of clear water, turned her head to look, and saw that the top of the stretch of steps could hardly be seen, and she couldn't help but retreat.

Sheng Han, who was following the waiter, couldn't move anymore, and said in a mournful voice: "Master, how high is this mountain, why hasn't it reached the top yet? If it was in the capital, it would have already arrived at the temple."

"It's quite high. The mountains in Sichuan are not short. This mountain is still famous outside. There is no way. The so-called famous temples come from deep mountains."

Shen Qingshu replied with a smile, reached out to wipe the water stains on Lin Weizhi's lips, and said warmly: "Are you still crawling? We didn't come here to burn incense. If we are tired, we can stop here to rest and take a look." The scenery doesn't hurt either."

After resting for a while, Lin Weizhi regained some strength in her legs. For some reason, she was a little stubborn today and really wanted to climb to the top.

"No, continue to climb." She stood up and stepped out first.

Shen Qingshu was taken aback for a moment, a smile unconsciously formed on the corner of his lips, he got up and followed behind her.

The first step, the second step and the third step, her legs were as heavy as if filled with lead, Lin Weizhi gritted her teeth and persisted, and inadvertently saw Shen Qingshu following her, like a stroll in the courtyard, unhurriedly, without feeling tired at all state.She was suddenly a little depressed, determined to exercise her physical strength in the future.

After climbing another section, Lin Weizhi supported the tree trunk and asked out of breath, "Where have we climbed?"

"Half." Shen Qingshu was not too clear, she roughly estimated, rounded up, probably, should, maybe?

It was more than half, Lin Weizhi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he only felt that the top of the mountain was in sight, and he was full of motivation.

Climbing and climbing, at noon, they finally reached the top of the mountain, Lin Weizhi was almost exhausted, she stared at Shen Qingshu, her eyes were so sharp that she almost flew out a knife, you call this half?

Shen Qingshu pretended not to see, and helplessly half-hugged and half-armed her. She also said on the way that she would go back down the mountain, but Lin Weizhi firmly refused.

One of the Eight Great Forgivenesses of the Chinese people has come. Although climbing the mountain was very painful, the two went to Juehua Temple to burn a few sticks of incense.

The temple is small, very quiet, and the sandalwood is lingering. In front of the Buddha statue sits a white-browed monk who is holding a rosary and chanting silently.

However, there was still a merit box next to it, Shen Qingshu donated some money and asked for a lottery.

"It's easy to sign," the master asked, "What are you asking?"

Shen Qingshu shook one casually, and really didn't think about what to ask for, but Lin Weizhi suddenly answered, "Ask about marriage."

Shen Qingshu's heart moved, he couldn't help turning his head to look at her, and restrained himself from speaking.

"I hope you don't ask about the things in your heart. This meaning is more suitable for Xiang Gong. A bright heart is clear and bright, just like the bright moon is in the middle." The master put his hands together, lowered his eyebrows, and smiled kindly: "The benefactor has found a good marriage in this life. , there is no need to worry about panic, everything will be clear in the end.”

The two people in front of him breathed a sigh of relief visibly, Shen Qingshu said: "Thank you, Master."

Whether it was a coincidence or he said it on purpose, Shen Qingshu was very satisfied, and added some money to the merit box before leaving respectfully.
