The two sleeves are cool and the wind is good to be an official

What does it have to do with Master Mingyue?" Qingfeng asked doubtfully.

"Sister Qingfeng, I learned cooking from Master Zhang from Tianxianglou," Mingyue explained.

"Oh, that's it, I should thank you, let's go, let's go!" Qingfeng hurriedly pulled Mingyue to walk ahead.

"Qingfeng, don't be frizzy, let the young master take the lead," the old housekeeper said.

"Oh, young master, please first." Qingfeng stepped back.Lin Qing shook his head helplessly and walked in front.

"Guest officer, how many are you, the private room or the lobby?" The waiter hurriedly greeted the guest when he saw a guest.

"The lobby is fine," Lin Qing said. Actually, Lin Qing wanted to go to the private room, but he happened to see Li Laosan giving a lecture, so he wanted to listen to it.

"What to eat, be more active, don't lose face to the young master." Qingfeng took the menu and said.

"Yes, you can order whatever you want, and eat well today." Lin Qing said.Since there were only these few people left in the family, the food at home was not as good as before, which made Lin Qing feel a little guilty.

"By the way, Grandma Liu is a big eater..." Li Laosan talked passionately about Dream of the Red Chamber, and when he saw Lin Qing sitting below, he worked harder, for fear that he would not let Lin Qing speak.Qingfeng Mingyue was even more fascinated, and even Lin Jun nodded from time to time.

"Second brother, what is that old man talking about? Why haven't I heard it before?" Jin Shuang asked doubtfully.You must know that the Empress Dowager likes these scriptures, and invites people from all over the place to come to the palace to talk about them every year, and Jin Shuang listens to them a lot.

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it, but it's better than what I've heard before!" Jin Ming said.

After finishing the script, Li Laosan cheerfully said to the audience, "I'm sorry, that's all for today."

"Hey, why don't you talk about it again? I'll give you 20 taels, and I'll talk about it again!" The audience booed.

"I'm really sorry, if you go on, I don't know what it is now, let's listen to it in three days." Li Laosan was not surprised when he heard that he would give 20 taels again, just joking, this kind of thing happens every day, how can it be So many surprises.

"Master, what do you think of the old man's words?" Li Laosan looked at Lin Qing expectantly, and now he has regarded Lin Qing as his idol.

"Uncle Li spoke very well," Lin Qing said.

"Hehe, that's good, I didn't spoil the young master's book."

"Uncle Li, what's next, please tell me." Qingfeng looked at Li Laosan expectantly, and so did Mingyue.

"Hehe, it's not that I didn't say it, it's that I really don't know, the young master hasn't written it yet."

"Oh, what are you going to write next, young master?" Qingfeng turned around and asked Lin Qing.

"Lin Qing shook his head, "I haven't thought about it, Mr. Li, let's sit down and eat something."

Li Laosan shook his head hastily, "Young master, my wife is still waiting for me, and he will be anxious again if he doesn't go back."Qingfeng laughed, "Unexpectedly, Uncle Li still loves his wife!"

Li Laosan blushed, "Miss Qingfeng, don't make jokes about being old."

"Boss, we really don't want to eat the king's meal, but we forgot to bring money when we came out," Jin Ming explained.Why are you so negligent, the servants took the money when you came out before, and you forgot that you sneaked out.Jin Shuang also nodded aside.

"It's okay if you don't have any money, just work here and pay back," the boss said, I have seen a lot of people who eat bully meals like this, and I have immunity. "How is this possible! We will refund you twice in the future, the boss will let us go back"...

Lin Qing and the others have also paid attention to the quarrel here. Lin Qing looked at Jin Ming and the two of them. They didn't look like they were eating a king's meal at all. They were surrounded by extravagance and expensive clothes..." Lin Bo, go and settle the bill. Come on, let's end those two by the way," Lin Qing said.

"Master, why do we help? There are all such people," Qingfeng complained dissatisfied.

"Qingfeng! The young master has his own reasons," Lin Bo said.Lin Qing didn't explain either.

"Why is our bill settled!" Jin Ming said in surprise, unexpectedly there are still so many good people, he dragged Jin Shuang out of the restaurant, "Master".Lin Qing stopped and turned around, "I don't know if Xiongtai is calling me."

When Jin Ming saw Lin Qing's appearance, he was stunned for a moment. He was very delicate and handsome, and he was very attractive. His temperament was very gentle and comfortable, and he always wanted to get close unconsciously.Jin Shuang next to her was flushed, and she had never seen anyone who was prettier than her elder brother.

Lin Qing didn't speak, and let the other party look at him.Qingfeng couldn't stand it, why should his young master look at others, "Hey, what are you doing, tell me something."

Jin Ming came back to his senses, "Thank you, my lord, for saving me."

"It's just a small matter, brother, don't worry about it," Lin Qing said gently. "Then if you have nothing else to do, brother, I will leave first." "Wait a minute, I don't know if you can take us brother and sister in. After the dance competition, we will leave!" Jin Ming didn't know what to think, but he wanted to get in touch with this person more, so he said this when his head got hot Come.

Lin Qing thought about it, these two people are either rich or expensive, they have good character, and they are worth dating. "Brother, if you don't mind, please!" Jin Ming didn't expect Lin Qing to agree, and said happily, "Excuse me."

The author has something to say:

☆, Trivia

Jin Ming and Lin Qing sat in the courtyard drinking tea and chatting. Jin Ming liked this kind of life very much, it was leisurely and carefree.If I hadn't been born in the royal family, I really wanted to be a landlord and live like this for the rest of my life.I also like Lin Qing as a new friend, the two have many topics to talk about together, and Lin Qing also likes chatting with Jin Ming very much.

As for the fact that Jin Shuang and Qingfeng Mingyue have become good girlfriends, Lin Qing is really surprised that a woman is such a creature, ever since Lin Qing promised to bring back the brothers and sisters of the Jin family, Qingfeng has never shown a good face.

However, the situation has changed since the day before yesterday!And the reason is because Jin Shuang said "Sister, your embroidery is really good" and the two became friends!And because of the sentence "Sister Mingyue, the food you cook is delicious", the three became friends.

Now, Qingfeng Mingyue takes Jin Shuang to learn embroidery every day, and cooks together. Jin Shuang's ten fingers do not touch Yang Chunshui Qianjin looks like she is covered in oily smoke, and she is still enjoying it!As for being with Jin Ming, Lin Qing could only say that he was not compatible with Qingfeng!

"Master, come and take a look, Sister Qingfeng's new dance rehearsal." Mingyue ran over with Qingfeng and Jin Shuang.

When Lin Qing came to him, Jin Ming said, "Oh, she can still dance, oh my god, don't throw the fat out!"

"Hey, try saying something," Qingfeng pinched his waist with both hands and said angrily.Jin Shuang also looked unhappy.

"Okay, okay, let's dance Qingfeng, let the young master appreciate it" Lin Qing hurriedly said.

Qingfeng took a gouging look at Jin Ming, and wanted to let you go for the sake of the young master, so she danced lightly.

Lin Qing had to say that this girl was indeed very talented, and Jin Ming also felt good about it.At the end of the dance, Lin Qing applauded, "Very good, this time the dance champion must be Qingfeng,"

Qingfeng was also very happy to hear the young master's praise, but then she was dejected again.Seeing Qingfeng's appearance, Lin Qing said, "What's wrong with Qingfeng?"

"Master, dancing is good, but there is no music," Qingfeng said.

Lin Qing thought for a while and said, "Let me compose a song for you!"

"That's great, young master!" Qingfeng smiled again.

"Brother Lin, you know how to compose music," Jin Ming said in surprise.

"Know a thing or two," Lin Qing said.

"Young master, don't be modest, those scripts on the market are written by my young master, and the songs that are sung are also made by my young master." Qingfeng looked proud.

"Really? Brother Lin, who did Baoyu from Dream of the Red Chamber end up with?" Jin Shuang asked expectantly.

Lin Qing shook his head, "I haven't figured it out yet, who does Shuang'er miss him with?"

"How about Baoyu and Xue Pan?" Jin Shuang asked anxiously.

Lin Qing took a sip of water and couldn't spit it out. What kind of idea is this!Jin Shuang saw that Lin Qing's face was flushed, and she also felt that the question was wrong, and she was a little embarrassed, but she felt that Baoyu and Xue Pan were really good!

Jin Ming saw his sister's embarrassment, and hurriedly said, "Since brother Lin can compose music, then I will accompany you, okay?"

Lin Qing also didn't want to answer Jin Shuang's question and hurriedly said, "Of course, with the help of Brother Jin, it will be difficult for Qingfeng to be the champion."

"Sister Qingfeng, come on!" Jin Shuang said excitedly.

"Don't worry, I won, my sister will buy candied haws for you two," Qingfeng said generously.

"The next one, Miss Qingfeng," the host introduced.

"Brother Jin, please," Lin Qing said.

"Brother Lin please"

Jin Ming plays the flute and Lin Qing plays the piano.Standing opposite each other, according to what Qingfeng said, just standing on the stage will win for sure!

With the sound of the flute, Lin Qing played the piano and made peace. It was originally a whisper between lovers, but the two men did not violate the harmony!

The two talked in eloquence, telling the story of the lover's world.Sometimes miserable, sometimes sweet, Jin Ming is also completely immersed in it, forgetting the score, just thinking about telling!

In the flute, it tells about the battle in the palace, childhood loneliness and present happiness.In the eyes of others, he, the prince, is carefree, but who knows how miserable and lonely he is.

The same is true for Lin Qing, who worked hard in his previous life, but in the end managed it miserably, ruining his reputation.Fortunately, reliving the first life can continue the dream of the previous life, and I have met so many caring people, so what is there to be dissatisfied with.

"Your Majesty, is the prince on the high platform?!" Eunuch Liu couldn't believe that Ming Wang, who never liked to show off in front of others, would actually play the flute on the street.

Jin Jue looked at his beloved younger brother, he understood the bitterness in Jin Ming's flute, but why not himself, at least he could tell someone, he could complain about acting like a baby in his mother's arms, but he couldn't!

At the end of the song, Lin Qing and Jin Ming looked at each other and smiled, they had a confidant in life, that's it!There was warm applause from the audience.I don't necessarily understand the meaning of the song, but it just feels good and I want to applaud unconsciously.

Jin Ming and Lin Qing walked ahead to talk, Qingfeng took Jin Shuang and Mingyue happily eating candied haws! "Brother Lin, I'm leaving today, and to be honest, I really don't want to let go," Jin Ming said sourly.

"Brother Jin, the separation is only temporary, and we will also be going to Beijing for the exam soon," Lin Qing said indifferently.

"Oh, Brother Lin, do you intend to become an official?" Jin Ming said pleasantly.Not only because he appreciates Lin Qing's great talent, but also because he appreciates Lin Qing's character. If he can contribute to the country, he must be a good official!

"Brother Jin, to tell you the truth, I have already passed the provincial examination, and I will soon settle down in Beijing and prepare for the examination!" Lin Qing thought it was better to settle in Beijing, so as to save trouble in the future.And the contract with Li Laosan just expired.

"Okay, then I'll wait for Brother Lin in the capital!"

"Brother, why are you here?" Jin Ming was surprised when he saw Jin Jue in the courtyard of the Lin residence.Jin Shuang has been hiding behind Qingfeng for a long time, and what he fears most at home is his elder brother!

"It's been too long since you've been out, mother, my lord mother is already in a hurry!" Jin Jue said while looking at Jin Ming, and he looked at Lin Qing from the corner of his eye.

"Oh, big brother, let's go now." Jin Ming was really afraid that big brother would embarrass Lin Qing.

Jin Jue nodded, and said to Lin Qing, "Thank you for Mr. Lin's care during this time, a little courtesy is not a respect." Lin Qing understood Jin Jue's meaning, and he seemed ignorant of flattery if he didn't answer. Down.A smile appeared on Jin Jue's face.

"Sister Qingfeng, sister Mingyue, you must come and see me." Jin Shuang looked at Qingfeng Mingyue with tearful eyes.Qingfeng couldn't help crying, "Well, we must go."Mingyue also cried to take care of herself.

"Brother Lin, take care," Jin Ming said reluctantly.

"Take care, and have a good trip," Lin Qing said.

Seeing the carriage drifting away, Lin Qing's heart was also filled with emptiness.

"Brother Huang, what do you think you are here for?" Jin Shuang complained.Jin Jue knew that his younger sister was really dissatisfied, "Why, you just don't want to see Brother Huang. The queen mother is going crazy!" Jin Jue laughed.

"Brother Huang, Lin Qing said that he will become an official in the future. I think he is very good." Jin Ming felt that he should mention it in front of Brother Huang in advance, so that Lin Qing's road will be easier in the future.

Jin Jue found that his younger brother really changed a lot once he came out. Jin Jue was very happy to see Jin Ming's changes, and nodded, "Well, he is very good!" Jin Ming knew what the emperor had said. If you keep it in mind, that's good!

"Master, when are we going to the capital?" Qingfeng said, she really likes Jin Shuang, a simple little sister.

Lin Qing thought for a while, "Let's go after this is done, let Lin Jun look at the house first!" Lin Qing planned to buy a smaller residence, as for this place, let's sell it!

The author has something to say:

☆, pass the customs and appoint officials

"Master, you said we have been here for a year, why can't we find sister Jin Shuang?" Qingfeng lay on the table idly.Lin Qing thought to himself, that's the royal family, how could they see it at will, but they can't say "maybe it's not the time yet". "When will it be there? I miss Jin Shuang already." Qingfeng said, "Mingyue ignores me, and knows how to cook in a day."

"The young master doesn't know how to calculate, you may find a fortune teller on the street, maybe you know." Lin Qing joked.

But Qingfeng took it seriously, "Are you really a spirit, then I'll go right away" said Qingfeng and stood up.Lin Qing didn't expect Qingfeng to take it seriously, but he didn't stop him. If Qingfeng nagged him for a while, Lin Qing would go crazy.

The old butler saw Qingfeng rushing out and hurriedly said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Fortune-telling," Qingfeng said while running.

"Young master, what do you need to prepare for tomorrow's exam? I saw a lot of scholars buying special clothes for the exam." Lin Qing shook his head, "Uncle Lin, I have everything prepared. As for the exam stuff, It’s all heresy. By the way, Lin Bo has prepared dry food, I think this time he will definitely pick up the skin when he comes out.”Lin Bo nodded approvingly.

Lin Qing had eaten eggs early and was sent to the examination room by Lin Bo. Lin Qing took a deep breath and waited in line to enter the examination room.

"Teacher, I really didn't know there was something in this clothes, please be merciful and let me in!" A candidate dragged his clothes and begged.

Lin Qing thought, that one is only for the exam.

"Student, it's not that I'm ruthless. If I let you in, who will let me go! Come on, pull aside."The examiner remained indifferent no matter what the examinee said, and then successively grabbed a few with special exams.But Lin Qing entered the examination room safely.After nine days, Lin Qing really felt that people were drifting, and he didn't even know how he got back to the mansion, but he passed the exam and thought he was pretty good!

"Master, you're awake, we're all going to be scared to death," the old housekeeper said with concern.

"I'm fine, Lin Bo, how long have I been asleep?" Lin Qing felt much better.

"Master, you have been asleep for three days!" Lin Bo said.Lin Qing was also surprised that he had slept for so long.

"Your Majesty, it's not appropriate for me to judge the papers." Guo Ziming disagreed.

"There's nothing wrong with it, I'll take a look at Lin Qing's paper," Jin Jue said.

"The humble minister takes orders" Guo Ziming had no choice but to nod.

"Are you sure Lin Qing is a descendant of Duke Ding?" Jin Jue asked again.

"I'm sure, the late emperor sent his ministers to search for the whereabouts of the dragon whip. It took me three years to find out, but the dragon whip, I thought, might not be in the Lin family, or it might have been destroyed long ago." Guo Ziming pondered.Jin Jue nodded.

"Master, you've been hit again, what do you think you're going to treat us to this time?" Qingfeng said with a smile.

"Eat, you know how to eat. Today, the young master cooks for you," Lin Qing said with a smile.Lin Qing didn't expect that if he won the prize, he would still be a Huiyuan. Is it really God's help in the dark? !

The next day, Lin Qing visited the chief examiner with a gift. It stands to reason that the chief examiner is the examinee's teacher, and those who pass the test must visit.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Guo there? I am a student of this class!" Lin Qing said.

"Oh, the young master came so early, please come inside."

"Teacher!" Lin Qing said in surprise.I only knew that it was Mr. Guo, Minister of Rites, but I didn't expect that...

"Haha. Qing'er, I saw the teacher was so surprised." Seeing the surprised look of his favorite student, Mr. Guo felt extraordinarily comfortable. "Teacher, aren't you dismissed from office?" Lin Qing said, regretting it after finishing speaking, how can you say that!

Mr. Guo didn't care too much, "It's a long story, let's not talk about this, let's talk about how you have been these years?".The master and apprentice chatted for a whole day, "Teacher, I will go back first, and if I don't leave, I should be banned!" Lin Qing and Guo Lao complained.

Mr. Guo looked at the sky, "Well, let's go back, tomorrow's imperial examination will be a good test, the emperor really cares about you." Although Lin Qing had doubts, it was not the time to ask.Farewell to Mr. Guo and go back to the mansion.

Lin Qing and all the students walked towards the Golden Palace under the leadership of Eunuch Liu. The tall and majestic building showed the majesty of the royal family. Almost everyone who entered was trembling, but Lin Qing was a special case. He had even sat on the dragon chair before. Yes, this thing was only a place for sightseeing in the previous life, and I really didn't feel awe at all, but his indifference, in the eyes of Eunuch Liu, was magnanimous and indifferent, so he couldn't help but glance at Lin Qinggao, "Everyone Please, our family will be sent here," Eunuch Liu said as he sent it to the outside of the Golden Palace.

Only after stepping into the Golden Palace did Lin Qing feel it. He knew that the person sitting on the dragon chair was no longer an insignificant person. He held the power of life and death for the common people in the world.Kneel three times and knock nine times with everyone.The emperor asked questions one by one and had court battles.

"Lin Qing, raise your head," said the emperor.

Lin Qing knelt on the ground, slowly raised his head, and looked at the handsome man on the high platform, knowing it in his heart.

When Jin Jue saw Lin Qing kneeling on the ground, he was not surprised, he looked indifferent, and couldn't help being annoyed, why every time he saw him, he always looked like this. "Lin Qing, tell me about the way to be a minister." Jin Jue was confused, whether this question was too big or small, it was well said, the emperor took a high look, and he was on the rise.To put it bluntly, the official road is extremely difficult.

"I believe that the only way to be a minister is to be loyal, to be loyal to the people, to live for the people, to seek the well-being of the people, to be loyal to the country, to die and die, to be loyal to the emperor, to fulfill the duties of a minister, to carry out the emperor's orders, and to respect the emperor's power. Be loyal to your own heart, sacrifice your life for righteousness, and do it with a clear conscience!"

After hearing Lin Qing's words, Jin Jue felt a little unhappy, and even put himself in the third place, but after thinking about it, it made sense, he was not a foolish king, he couldn't listen to good advice, the truth that water can carry a boat can also overturn it, I also understand!

"Would you like to talk about the way the monarch and his ministers get along?" Jin Jue didn't want to embarrass Lin Qing, and asked a common question, as long as Lin Qing remained loyal, it was fine, but Lin Qing didn't seem to want to say that.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "My minister thinks that if the emperor envoys the minister with courtesy, and the minister serves the emperor with loyalty, that's the best way!" After hearing Lin Qing's words, Jin Jue's veins bulged with anger. What does this mean? I don't think so. Rituals cannot win the loyalty of the courtiers!Seeing that the emperor was angry, Guo Ziming was secretly annoyed that Lin Qing's stubborn temper came up again, while thinking about countermeasures, there is it! "Your Majesty, I thought Lin Qing's words meant that the king's respect for the virtuous and the corporal can win good generals and celebrities, and can better win the loyalty of his subjects. This is what I, the emperor, do!" Hearing Guo Ziming's words, Jin Jue lost his temper. I'm a little younger, and I don't want to make trouble for myself, "There are still vacancies for the magistrate of Zero County this year, but there are plenty of official positions in various places. I wonder which love minister is willing to go?" Jin Jue said.

Ling County is a notoriously impoverished county, either flooded or severely drought. There has been no county magistrate for several years. Even if one is sent, he will either die or resign soon, which is a thorn in the emperor's heart.Everyone, look at me and I look at you, but no one wants to.Lin Qing thought for a while and said, "I am willing to go."Logically, Lin Qing could work in the Imperial Academy, but no one thought that Lin Qing would go there.However, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Lin Qing was going.

The more Jin Jue looked at Lin Qing, the more pleasing to his eyes, "Okay, it turns out that a hero is a boy! Then Lin Qing should take office as soon as possible."

When Lin Qing heard the emperor's promise, she hurriedly knelt down and "asked the emperor to give me some kindness".

"Oh, what grace do you want?" Jin Jue said.

"The minister wants to be tax-free for one year," Lin Qing said.When Jin Jue heard that this was what Lin Qing wanted, he also heaved a sigh of relief, "Yes."

Withdrew the court, "Qing'er," Mr. Guo hurriedly chased after him.Lin Qing turned around and respectfully said "teacher". "Qing'er, you are confused, Ling County, is it easy for you, a frail scholar, to go there? There will be nine droughts in ten years, and there will be floods in one year, can you bear it..." Guo Ziming felt comfortable when he said it Too much, still looking at Lin Qing with disapproval.Lin Qing saw the teacher thinking of himself so much, a trace of warmth flowed through his heart, and he smiled and said, "Teacher, you also know why I am an official. Ling County is also my Dajin people. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will Let’s go! Staying in the capital and being a stable official is no different from me being a landlord. What’s the use of my hard study for more than ten years!” Guo Ziming heard Lin Qing’s words and thought he was just a scholar, but he was helpless. "Forget it, whatever you want, but if you can't stay, just tell me, I'll get it back for you, I don't want my only student to die outside!" Lin Qing smiled and said, "Thank you, teacher!"

Sitting in the imperial study, Jin Jue said indifferently, "He really said that!" Eunuch Liu said respectfully, "Indeed, what Master Lin said is better, and the old slave's blood boiled when he heard it. It's just that the old slave can't learn the words of this literati. I hope the emperor will make amends!" With a smile on his face, Jin Jue counted you pass, Lin Qing, three years!

The author has something to say:

☆, three years of drought resistance

"Master, you said the new county magistrate can stay for a few days this time," a yamen servant said in a self-deprecating tone.

"Hey, who knows, at least three to five days, at most half a month," said the master.The whole county doesn't even have any oil or water, so how could anyone be willing to come, presumably the new county magistrate is an ignorant brat.

"Master, why are these fields so dry and cracked? Didn't it rain a few days ago?" Mingyue asked puzzled.

Lin Qing didn't answer, bent down and picked up a handful of soil, it's clear, sandy soil, no wonder!Fortunately, there is still time to sow, otherwise this year will be another famine year.

Ermaozi and his gang stood at the intersection, passing the time bored. "I said Brother Er Mao, Ling County is a place where birds don't shit, so why do people come here, why don't we go back!" Xiao Wu said impatiently.

"Shut up! I heard that a new county magistrate is coming today, and we'll wait for him here," the Ermao thief laughed.These officials must have some money.After a while, he saw a group of people coming, and Xiao Wu suddenly became energetic, "Brother Ermao, here we come."

"Stop, if you want to survive, take out your money!" Er Mao coaxed, holding a knife and bull.Xiao Wu behind him was fiddling with the worn out knife in his hand.

Lin Qing had expected such a scene a long time ago. It is not unreasonable that there are so many troublesome people in poor mountains and rivers, but his future plans will depend on them.

He said with a smile, "I'm going to be the new county magistrate. I wonder if the two brothers can be put on the next path."

Ermao listened to the music, hehe, you are waiting, "Master County Magistrate, you can let you go, but the money will still be kept."

Lin Qing smiled, "Okay, you can get it."

Ermao happily walked over, counting you as sensible, "give it to me".

Lin Qing reached out and grabbed Ermao, and turned back!

"Ah, my lord, please spare me." Er Mao didn't expect that the county magistrate would be able to kung fu even though he looked weak!Big sense of miscalculation.When Xiao Wu saw that the boss had been caught, he panicked all of a sudden.

"Lin Jun, hold that, let's go back to the county government together," Lin Qing said.

"Master, the county magistrate has arrived," the yamen servant said.

"Oh, let's go to greet him quickly," the master hurriedly said.

"Student Lingxian Master left to welcome the magistrate." The master respectfully saw an older man among the five people.

Lin Bo was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed, "Master, this old man is just a housekeeper, this is the county magistrate." This time it was Master's turn to be stunned, not knowing what to do for a while.Lin Qing took out the imperial decree and handed it to Master, and said with a smile, "Master, let's get promoted."

The master came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Yes!"

Lin Qing was dressed in official uniform, sitting in the high hall, with a mirror hanging high above his head, and with the sound of the gavel, the two classes of government servants were "mighty".The master sitting by the side holding the pen trembled, and was so excited that he was about to shed tears. He never thought that he would still see Shengtang in his lifetime.

"Who is kneeling under the stage, and where does he live?" Lin Qing asked.

This time Ermao was really scared, and tremblingly said, "Ermao, the king of Caomin, lives in Wangcun."

"Do you know the crime of robbing the imperial court officials?" Lin Qing said loudly.

Er Mao was so frightened that he kowtowed, "My lord, forgive me, the grassroots have no choice but to...".

"Oh, what a last resort, if you explain clearly, maybe you can deal with it lightly." Lin Qing said.

Er Mao hurriedly said, "My lord, there are constant natural disasters in Ling County, and almost every year there is no harvest. They rely on going out to work, eating grass roots and leaves for a living, and the tax burden of the court cuts off people's way out, so they have no choice but to engage in robbery. My lord, forgive me." Ah, even grassroots people can't..."Everyone in the hall also looked desperate. If it wasn't for the fact that there is still some wages in the yamen...

"I think you have a hard time, and you are allowed to make meritorious deeds to atone for your crimes. I will not make it difficult for you. Bring back all the people on the mountain. After three days, come to the Yamen, and I will give you something to do, and you will be exonerated." Lin Qing said .

Ermao's face showed embarrassment, what can he do if he is not a robber, his own fault, how could he hurt the brothers on the mountain, his face became firm, and just about to speak, Lin Qing said, "Help me do things, it's not for nothing, I'll give you wages, just less It’s a bit cheaper, and——tax exemption for one year!” The reason why Lin Qing planned so much is because the people left in the county are old people and children, they can’t do their own work, and the only middle-aged people who can be used are either working or going to the mountains to become bandits.

When Ermao heard this, the surprise on his face could no longer be suppressed, "Hey, my lord, I'll do it right away."The master heard the tax exemption for one year, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground excitedly.

"Master, please publish the announcement of the one-year tax exemption as soon as possible, so as to prevent the exodus of young men, and deal with it, come to the back hall. Lin Qing walked into the back hall alone.

Master "Adult" is more respectful now, maybe this will be a good official.

Lin Qing stood in front of an old topographic map.The mountains are mainly on the east and west sides, the wind comes from the north, and the five elements in the north belong to water... "Master, I don't know if the soil in the north of Ling County is more delicate than that in the south?"

The master thought about it carefully, "It's such an adult."

Lin Qing nodded, "Okay, master, take the rest of the yamen with us and walk north."

Lin Qing walked in front, mainly along the previous river course, stopping and walking, carefully feeling the wind force and coolness.Sometimes when you walk to a similar place, look at the rock quality, stop, scrape away some soil, wrap it in silk for a while, call the yamen servant if there is water, mark it, and remember the location.It was like this every day, making it covered in dirt, which made Qingfeng a good meal for mocking.

Three days later, Lin Qing came back from the outside and saw that the yamen was crowded with people, so he knew that Er Mao was back.Sure enough, seeing Lin Qing coming back, Er Mao greeted him happily, "My lord".

"Okay, let's go in and talk."Lin Qing said.

"Everyone, I am looking for you to ask for something. As we all know, our Ling County has suffered a severe drought this year. If it continues like this, this year's harvest will definitely be exhausted. Therefore, I would like to ask everyone to dig a few wells for me. As for the wages, Just count as twenty Wen per day, okay?" Lin Qing said.

Everyone was still a little apprehensive, not knowing why the county magistrate needed these gangsters, but this year's tax exemption, everyone wanted to go home and have a look, so they bit the bullet and heard that they were digging wells to benefit the people Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, "My lord, this kind of thing can be done without money." One person said.The rest of the people also agreed.

Lin Qing shook his head, "Thank you everyone, but you still have to pay the wages. I will let the yamen servants take you there. As for the dug up soil, I hope you put it on the side of the river to prevent the water flow from being blocked."

"Hey, Brother Ermao, do you think we can dig out water here?" Xiao Wu asked doubtfully.

"I don't know, but judging by Mr. Lin's appearance, it seems to be possible. Let's dig it out later."

"Hey, the soil here is really wet," one person said in surprise.

"Really, hurry up, everyone work harder to see if there is any water," said a yamen servant.

"It's out of the water, it's really out of the water," he said.As soon as they heard that water came out, the others worked even harder. By night, several wells had already produced water. As for those who hadn't dug out water, they all felt blush, thinking that they hadn't worked hard enough.

When someone came to report, Lin Qing was drawing a waterwheel. Hearing that water had really been dug out, Lin Qing's heart was relieved. This method of finding water was also seen in books, and he had not verified it yet.Lin Qing nodded and said, "Pay the wages down and ask everyone to guide the water into the meander. Those who dig out the water can repair the canal, and the wages are the same."

Lin Qing thought, Ling County is famous for flooding after a severe drought. I really hope that these are just exaggerated rumors, and I don't hope that the things I prepared will be useful one day.

Lin Qing has been here for five months. With the solution of the water source problem and the application of water trucks, every household has planted fields. Lin Qing asked everyone to sprinkle the rare earth dug out of the canal and livestock manure on the fields. I knew what it was for, but I followed it. Now Lin Qing is like a god in everyone's mind.Lin Qing sold the blueprint of the waterwheel to the Ministry of Industry in exchange for a large number of saplings. Lin Qing planned to be just in case.This year, Ling County ushered in its first bumper harvest in decades.

"Master, let's go for a walk on the street," Qingfeng said.After coming here for more than a year, Ling County is no longer sparsely populated, and there are also a few shops on the street.Lin Qing thought for a while, he should go out to see the place under his jurisdiction.

"Young master, I admire you more and more now." Qingfeng looked at the crowd on the street. Although there were not many people there, it was better than the dead air at the beginning.Lin Qing just smiled, this is not the only thing he has to do.

"Master, look at the many people over there." Qingfeng cheered.

"There are quite a lot, let's go and have a look." Lin Qing smiled.

"Hey, there are storytellers here too," Mingyue said in surprise.

Lin Qing was also surprised, but more happy, since there are storytellers, it means that people have spare money.This is what I most want to see.

"Okay, the young master is going back. If you want to play for a while, just play for a while. You must go back to the house when it gets dark." Lin Qing said, he still has a lot of old cases to deal with.

The author has something to say:

☆, The case of the river god who has been released for three years

"My lord, someone is beating the drums to complain." Er Mao said.Ever since he dug out the water, he admired Lin Qing very much, and he was willing to work in the yamen without money.

"Oh. Go out and have a look." Lin Qing said.Except for Ermao's matter, it has been a long time since he was promoted.

Before Lin Qing had time to sit on the chair, he heard the old man in the hall say "My lord, help me quickly".

Lin Qing hurried down the hall, "Old man, what's going on, please speak slowly."

Old man Li took a breath and said, "My lord, the small river to the east of Li Village, the witch is going to throw my daughter into the river to sacrifice to the river god."

After hearing this, Lin Qing understood, "Old man, don't worry, I'll go right away." "Ermao, call a few yamen servants, and save the people first, and I'll go right away!" Lin Qing said.

"Fathers and folks, our bumper harvest this year is all blessed by the God of the River. Today, I, Witch Li, obeyed the will of the God of the River and paid homage to the God of the River, so as to bless everyone with good weather in the coming year!" said an old woman in her 50s. Shouted to the crowd.Behind her was a girl whose mouth was covered, her eyes full of despair.

"Okay, the auspicious time has come, let's sacrifice to the river god!" The witch looked at the sky and said.

"Wait." Er Mao arrived in time with the yamen servants, "Brothers, save people quickly, the adults will be there in a while!"

Everyone snatched the girl from the crowd, and untied the rope on the girl's body and the rag from her mouth.When the girl saw that she had been rescued, she burst into tears, making Er Mao at a loss.The eyes of the people around were distressed, but there was nothing they could do about it. It was better to believe this matter of the River God than to believe it.

When the witch saw that the girl had been rescued, she trembled with anger, "Come here, arrest me quickly, the river god blames me for missing the auspicious time, and everyone can't bear it."

Some people heard the witch's words and tried to rush forward, but the girl hid behind Er Mao in fright.Ermao didn't know what to do. There were so many opponents that he would definitely not be able to fight.

"The county magistrate is here!" Er Mao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Lord Lin had arrived.Lin Qing, dressed in an official uniform, glanced at the crowd, and those who rushed up to arrest them at first retreated unnaturally.They all knew that the changes in Ling County were all thanks to this lord, and they respected Lin Qing like a god.Naturally, he didn't dare to do anything to this living immortal Master Lin.

Seeing everyone retreating, the witch secretly hated Lin Qing for being nosy, but she forced a smile and stepped forward, "My lord, why do you interfere with the old woman offering sacrifices to the river god? If the river god blames it, what should I do?"
