struggle in ancient times

Lin County is where General Zhao is located.

Liao Tingyu was taken aback when he was assigned to this place. He missed the exam perfectly with General Zhao because of the exam.

Liao Tingyu knew that there was a description in the book that Lin County was flat, but the land was not fertile.

Many people make a living by shepherding sheep and farming, but even so, they still can't get enough to eat.

And these understandings only come from books, and I have never experienced it personally.

When he came to Lin County, he didn't really feel the situation here until he saw it all the way.

He originally thought that the village he was in was already poor, but here it can be said to be poor.

The villages I saw along the way didn’t have a single brick or tile house. Many of them were made of wood and straw. There were holes in each hole, and some were rickety. A family of seven lived inside.

And the people here don't have much flesh on their faces, they are skinny.

And children aged seven or eight are already doing the same amount of work as adults.

Those children were already carrying logs to loosen the ground when they were only around the waist of adults. They couldn't afford an iron pick, so they could only thin one end of a log and then loosen the soil for the ground.

Basically everyone's clothes are without patches.

Huang Zilan looked at the sad scene on the road with her child in her arms, and felt emotional: "You must be a good official for the people."

Liao Tingyu nodded heavily: "We will definitely, work hard together. We will definitely let these people live a good life."

General Zhao received the news that Liao Tingyu was coming early in the morning, and was waiting for him at the gate of Linxian County: "I was shocked when I received your letter, I didn't expect that our brothers are so destined to work together as officials here. "

"Yeah, I was also surprised when I found out that I was assigned to Lin County. As expected, we met each other after thousands of miles. Now that I'm here, you have to take good care of me." Liao Tingyu saw the mighty army in front of him, He said with a smile.

It's too much face, General Zhao will think twice if those people have different intentions.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see what's going on here. I'm familiar with it. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to point fingers at you." General Zhao Zhao Yuan patted his chest and promised.

The young general Zhao Han next to him also came today: "That's why I trust you naturally, but don't you hate me, kid? Why do you miss me so long after we separated! But I didn't bring you any presents."

"C'mon, who got a gift with peace of mind? I didn't come to pick you up. I came here to see if there are any people with ulterior motives who approach my uncle. Don't be too sentimental?" Zhao Han said stiffly, but he was actually pestering Zhao Yuan brought him here.

"To be honest, you are really incompetent. The one who was an official here before was just a juren. You, a Jinshi, came here to be an official..." Zhao Han was filled with righteous indignation, this court is really disgusting , Those who have the ability will never be reused, but those who have no ability stand on the high palace.

Liao Tingyu smiled, Zhao Han is such a knife-mouthed bean curd, obviously he is trying to defend himself, but he still says he is not familiar with him.

Liao Tingyu pretended to be sad and said: "It can't be helped, who made me weak, and I went with me, and there was another Juren who didn't pass the exam, who was assigned to the county magistrates in the Jiangnan area, alas! Deplorable."

"It's just that everyone is better than you. You are really unlucky. If you take the jade pendant that your uncle gave you to our house, you will be better than now." Zhao Han said unfairly.

"Actually, I wanted to do that when I got it, but when I think of meeting our little General Zhao, I'm happy. Who made me like you so much!"

Zhao Han's face turned red when he heard this, this old man is not serious.

"You...you..." Zhao Han pointed at him, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time: "You are shameless."

"Don't spoil my innocence. I'm still here in Funan. I'm just expressing my uncle's love for my nephew. Anyway, I've also made a promise to your uncle. You should call me uncle too." .” Seeing him like this, Liao Tingyu found it very interesting.

"You have a good idea." Zhao Han couldn't get it out of his mouth, and called him uncle.

"Okay, stop teasing him, I'll take you to eat the delicious food here." Zhao Yuan still couldn't bear his nephew being bullied, and he went to find the bully himself.

well!Wouldn't it be nice to stay in the barracks?

"Then hurry up, there's nothing delicious on the road to eat and sleep these days, so we're finally here for a tooth-beating festival." Liao Tingyu said with a smile.

The two walked in front side by side, and Zhao Yuan looked at Liao Tingyu's face without a look of frustration at all.

"Brother, you can see it openly. If I am afraid, I don't have the courage."

"What does this have to do with mettle? It's a good choice for me to be an official, and it's much bigger than other places." Liao Tingyu said with a smile.

"Actually, what he said is quite right. If you give the jade pendant, our family can help find a relationship. Generally speaking, this jade pendant is given to the most important person." Zhao Yuan said.

"I want to let your family get away with the relationship. Isn't your family forming a clique? Besides, it's okay if it's in other places. I'm willing to come here. Although it's a remote place, I have the confidence to turn it into a Get rich." Liao Tingyu said.

"That's right. When I came here, the barracks here were still long and defeated. Now it makes others fearful. I believe my brother will do the same. If you need help, just say it."

"That's for sure. Let's talk about it when I need it. The most important thing now is that I want to eat meat. It's been a long time since I ate mutton. It's so cold, so it's better to eat meat."

"Then I'll take you to drink haggis soup."

……

People in the county have been paying close attention to General Zhao's actions.

They were still wondering what General Zhao and his personal guards were doing at the gate of the city early in the morning.

Now I saw a handsome man who looked like a scholar, chatting and laughing with General Zhao.

Someone speculated whether it was a brother or relative who came to join him.

It wasn't until Liao Tingyu and the others completely resettled their home that the county government's door was completely opened.

Liao Tingyu took Xiaoqiu and Liao Shi, followed by his personal guards, who demanded the files of his predecessor, and then went to inspect the entire county.

Wearing an official uniform and riding a big horse with personal guards, the common people retreated three meters when they saw him.

In less than half a day, the entire county knew that the newly appointed county magistrate had some connections with General Zhao and should not be provoked easily.

Because of General Zhao as the backstage, none of the officials here dared to trip Liao Tingyu.

He took over the county office very smoothly, and then changed a large number of people, making this place his talk.

In order to be able to master this earlier, Liao Tingyu looked at the files by lighting the lamp every day to test the available talents.

These are all because he doesn't have enough trustworthy people, so he can only do everything by himself, but in only half a month, he feels as if he has lost a lot of hair. If this continues, he is afraid that he will become bald.

Once he looked at Liao Shi who was busy doing business after listening to Deng's words, and felt that he was simply an idiot.

Liao Shi was tall, literate, and rather vicious-looking. He was more than enough to be a yamen servant. Xiaoqiu was already a servant, so why couldn't his brother be one?

"Brother, do you want to be a government servant?" Liao Tingyu asked Liao Shi, who left early and returned late.

"Yamen servant, me? No, no, isn't the number of your yamen servant already full? And with me like this, how can I!" Liao Shi quickly refused.

"Just kick a few when they are full. There are still a few of this batch of yamen servants left over from the previous county magistrate. A few are pretty good, but I don't think much of the others. And brother, you need strength, strength. He is also literate, why can’t he, being a government servant is more than enough. Look at the people in the front hall, except for the master, how many are literate.” Liao Tingyu used the strength of General Zhao to figure out the relationship here these days.

Some people's actions are very unfavorable to him. After all, now that the people above have changed, the people below should naturally move as well.

Because if you want to be a teacher, you must have the reputation of a scholar, Liao Ming can only write simple words, and the original teacher is actually quite good in person and reputation.

In addition, it is very convenient for him to have a subordinate who is familiar with the process, so Liao Tingyu has no plan to replace him.

He was opened by his own thoughts,

He intends to mention Liao Ming to the clerk. As for Liao Shi's big and three rough appearance, it is okay to bluff people. He intends to let him be a government servant, which is the best of both worlds. arranged.

Liao Ming had just finished his work when he heard the elder son's refusal, and he was very angry.

The second son wants to support this idiot, but he still talks about this and that, it's really confusing, it doesn't look like he was born at all, and he doesn't know who this kid looks like:

"What nonsense are you talking about? This is your second brother's good intentions. From now on, you will do whatever your second brother asks you to do. If you are told to go east, you should not go west. You have no brains, so you don't need to use your brains in the future. "

Hearing his father's angry voice, Liao Shi knew that something was wrong with him again.There was a silly smile on his face.

"Okay Dad, I see, don't be angry, that second brother, I... Thank you."

When she returned to her room, she told Wen Xiu'er what happened today, and Wen Xiu'er stared at the silly husband beside her.

There are people who don't want such a good thing, and they are still my pillow.

You must know that this is a government servant, referring to the money issued by the state.

Fortunately, his family will keep it for him, otherwise...

Wen Xiu'er heard this and found it really unbelievable: "Father is right, from now on my uncle tells you to go east, so don't go west."

Then he turned his head to the other side.I don't want to look at Liao Shi again.

Liao Shi looked at Wen Xiu'er and you didn't even want to talk to him, and he also knew that he handled this matter very badly today.

Doesn't he have no confidence in himself?

He coaxed Wen Xiuer with a good temper: "I didn't think too much about it at the time, don't be angry, I will get a new official uniform tomorrow, and I will show you how to wear it."

"Well, you can wear it tomorrow. From now on, no matter what your second brother says, you don't want to refute it. You are right to listen to your second brother." Wen Xiu'er did not turn around.

In fact, Liao Shi thought that he was just a small yamen servant, but he didn't expect Liao Tingyu to let him manage all the yamen servants the next day, and he became the boss.

Upon receiving the news, Liao Shi's small eyes widened as big as Deng's.

Because Wen Xiu'er gave him a very serious warning this morning, and he didn't dare to refute the second brother, but just nodded silently.

By the way, it left a cold impression on the other shocked yamen servants.

Walking out of the government office, the government servants began to discuss one after another.

"Sure enough, I knew that there would be a replacement, but the replacement was not bad. Thinking about the old man who always talked about our filial piety, I only had a little more than one or two taels of silver a month, and he still had to eat more than half of it to go out. If you do something, give him all the head, and we can't even drink soup."

"I don't know what the magistrate of the county will do in the future. Will the one who is replaced now be our turn next time? Without this job, what will we do with our family's food and drink?"

"Yeah, that's the reason. Let's behave better recently. Don't let people get caught. These days, a large number of people have changed. I hope we can keep this bowl of rice."

"Yeah, yeah, a few of us didn't do anything bad, unlike those people, we just do our job well. I hope the county magistrate is a wise man."

"The new official took office three fires, I really pray to God, his fire has burned down to us. Leave us something to eat!"
