King's Landing [Rebirth]

The epidemic in Hongye City was reduced by half, and those who had fled returned one after another. Liang Jian ordered the city gates to be unlocked, and the number of tourists increased, and Hongye City returned to its former bustle.

Aunt Du didn't want to stay at Song Yuan's house to bother her. Song Yuan lent her some silver to let her resettle. Xiaodouzi was reluctant to part with Mei Zhenghan before leaving, so Mei Zhenghan must remember to go to his house to play with him.Mei Zhenghan fully agreed, but her heart was still uneasy, not knowing where she and Jiang Shengxue were going next.

Liang Jian had just taken over the burden of Red Leaf City, with heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, he was busy with the affairs of the city when he left early and returned late at night, Mei Zhenghan seldom saw him these days.In contrast, Yang Junning is very leisurely, going to the resettlement site regularly in the morning, noon and evening to take a look at the situation, and spends the rest of the time around Mei Zhenghan.

She is a hospitable person who likes to make friends, and she takes Mei Zhenghan around, wishing to put all the beauties and delicacies in Hongye City in Mei Zhenghan's mind.Mei Zhenghan couldn't resist her enthusiasm, and hid in the resettlement site under the pretext of helping Jiang Shengxue deal with the epidemic, which made Yang Junning feel lost for a long time.But soon she regrouped, this time she did not bother Mei Zhenghan, but shifted her target to Jiang Shengxue.

Jiang Shengxue's personality is as gentle as water, which perfectly complements Yang Junning's temperamental personality.The two became good friends who talked about everything and were inseparable.

Mei Zhenghan, who was excluded again, looked helplessly at the two women who had a deep friendship, and went up to the roof to bask in the sun by himself.

The autumn sun is not warm, and it is cool when the wind blows.Mei Zhenghan was lying on the tiles of the roof with his legs crossed, looking at the maple forest with only dead branches on his head, wondering what Liang Jian was doing boredly.

"I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion to see if he will cause trouble for him? I just saw him this morning, but I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time."

Mei Zhenghan felt a little lost, he felt that the distance between himself and Liang Jian had become farther.He began to feel uneasy, always feeling that he wanted to grasp something but couldn't grasp it anyway, and he was very irritated.He scratched his hair unhappily, and a very strong thought rose in his heart, he wanted to see Liang Jian, and now he wanted to see him immediately.

The undefended city lord's mansion was so quiet that a needle could be heard. Soldiers and officials came and went in a hurry, each working hard on what they were doing.Occasionally, when meeting acquaintances, they would stop, and they would leave each other with a sigh and no words.

Liang Jian was one of the three fires of the new official. The first fire was the unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in the city. He asked the chief officials to take out all the files in the city in recent years to check. Come out and reorganize the archive.The second fire was the accounts of the city in recent years. Sun Sheng had accumulated a lot of money as the lord of the city in these years, and the gifts from all parties were recorded in the accounts. Liang Jian now wanted to check these things.As for the third fire, Liang Jian rectified the officials in the city, abolished redundant officials, and adjusted promotions according to the evaluation of officials.

The busy people in the city lord's mansion turned their backs on their backs, and even a few officials who had just recovered from illness were dragged to work. The high-pressure work intensity made everyone's efficiency more than double that of before. And sort out the achievements of officials.

Because the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, the city lord's mansion has a lot of files that have not been completed in recent years, and the situation of officials' laziness is also very serious.

Facing the dossiers from one place, Liang Jian asked the officials to put them away by county and send them back to the county officials in various places, so that they could check them one by one.

"City Lord, I'm afraid it won't work." An elderly official squinted his eyes and said, "These files are all cases of the past five years, and the county officials haven't bothered to ask them since they sent them up, and some of them may not even be able to find the plaintiff. "

"If you can't find it, it's the county magistrate's business, so you don't need to worry about it. I raise a group of officials, pay their salaries on time every month, but in the end they don't do anything. Then what am I raising them for? Are they making trouble for me?" Liang Jian didn't show mercy just because the person who asked the question was old. He took over Hongye City to make Hongye City better and better, not to let freedom go.

Seeing Liang Jian's resolute attitude, the chief official who spoke up knew that he was different from Sun Sheng, so he quickly pleaded guilty.

Liang Jian raised his hand to signal him to avoid it. After thinking for a while, he probably guessed the official's worry, and said, "If you are worried that the county magistrate will not accept it, it's okay, just keep it. Wait for the imperial city's appointment in a few days." , I let the county officials go to the city to discuss matters, and I will talk to them myself."

The laziness of the officials in the main city is serious, let alone those officials below.What's more, Liang Jian just took office, and the people below may not buy it if they haven't seen it before, and there is a high possibility that they will be perfunctory after sending it out.Liang Jian didn't make things difficult for the trembling officials in the city, and asked people to come in and move all these things out first.

"You have also been tired for several days, go down and rest first. My new city lord will inevitably have to be busy for a while, and you will have the energy to fight with me for a long time after you rest."

The officials present had been busy for several days, and many of them were recovering from serious illnesses. Liang Jian was not unreasonable, so he asked them to go down to rest after sorting out the files.Several officials resigned one after another, and they all left quickly.

Sun Sheng built the city lord's mansion in a luxurious style. There are three entrances and exits in the warm pavilion used for discussions. The front hall is used for discussions and for eating, drinking and having fun, so it is relatively spacious.There are also bathrooms, bedrooms and a side room for the maids to rest.

The officials discussing matters these days are busy, and Liang Jian didn’t feel any difference when the front hall was full of files. Now that the people had dispersed and the files were all moved down, Liang Jian realized that the room was rich in space, more than enough for a small banquet. It's hard to imagine what Sun Sheng used to do with this land before.

"Those who have gained the Tao will be helped a lot, but those who have lost the Way will not be helped. If they don't even gather people's hearts, how can they convince the people of the world." Liang Jian looked at the empty hall and sighed, understanding why Song Yuan and Yang Junning were so eager Sun Sheng died.

"Some people are greedy for the present, and they don't care whether they leave a bad name or a good name." Song Yuan, who was buried in countless ledgers, answered Liang Jian's words casually, raised his head from the ledger, bit a brush, He scratched his messy hair, and wailed in pain: "I said, City Lord Liang, do you really have to read all these things? Do you know that there is no correct entry in this ledger from the beginning to the end?" .”

Liang Jian was taken aback by Song Yuan's sudden utterance, and only then did he realize that Song Yuan was pressed|stuck in a pile of ledgers.He thought everyone had left just now, but he didn't expect Song Yuan to still be there.Liang Jian recalled his actions just now, and made sure there was nothing wrong with it, so he said to Song Yuan, "You didn't leave?"

"I think so too." Unconsciously, Song Yuan stretched his limbs and lay on the ledger, looked at Liang Jian pitifully and complained, "Do you know that the accountant and account officer dare not check these ledgers, they have to Please leave it to me. Don't think that the steward is so generous in handing over the account books. In fact, there are many mysteries in it. They are all yin and yang account books when they make accounts. One is for the tax of the court, and the other is real. Obviously, the steward is fooling you into being a lackey of the court, and these are all fake account books."

The household officials and accountants promoted by Sun Sheng are generally decorations, and all his accounts are done by the steward.Those small officials dare not intervene because of the water in it, and Song Yuan wants to take care of this mess after suffering.

Liang Jian didn't feel that he was the dog's leg of the court. Song Yuan had reminded him to be careful with this steward before.Liang Jian is not a merciful Bodhisattva, since the other party toasts and refuses to eat fine wine, then he doesn't have to be polite.

"Come on, I'll give you a task. You don't need to check these account books. You just take someone to search the steward's house and throw him in jail. If he resists, he will be killed. By the way, tell the people who are following the steward, The real account book is in my hands, and I will check the account books of the City Lord’s Mansion in three days, if they don’t want to be dragged into the water, they should tell everything they know, they will be rewarded for what they say, and those who tell less and lie will be guilty of the same crime as the steward.”

Liang Jian didn't believe it. Under the heavy punishment, these people dared to take a chance and think that they could pass if they wanted to.Even if he doesn't have a real ledger, he still wants to get a real ledger from these people.

"It's good to kill the chickens to warn the monkeys, but there is a more serious problem at present. The military officers who followed Lu Tian's rebellion were all sent to prison by you, and now there is only one guard and two feather generals left in the city defense, and you sent them all Going to control the epidemic caused a large number of troops without generals, and the defense of the City Lord's Mansion is also full of loopholes. Although you don't live here, at least you have to have the appearance of the City Lord's Mansion."

Song Yuan never cared about the matter of the military officer, if Liang Jian hadn't asked him to lead soldiers to ransack the house, he might not have thought about it.It's okay for the troops in the city to have no generals in the short term, but if these people are left alone for a long time, big troubles will happen.

Liang Jian was born as a military general and once commanded a city's troops, of course he knew this.But as far as the current situation is concerned, he really can't find a suitable candidate to take up the position of Grand Commander.

"Do you want Mei Zhenghan to try?" Song Yuan suggested: "You are also the commander of Jiangcheng who is about the same age as him. With you leading him, I think he will not do worse than you."

Song Yuan still appreciates Mei Zhenghan's personality, neither humble nor overbearing, and has a good kung fu at a young age.What's more important is that he has a good relationship with Liang Jian, and since he will be the commander in chief, Liang Jian doesn't have to worry about the military attache being too powerful to control.Anyway, he and Jiang Shengxue are going to settle down here, wouldn't it be better to be with Liang Jian?

Liang Jian hadn't considered Mei Zhenghan's question in this regard yet, Song Yuan's words were like a blow to the head, he was stunned, he didn't directly refuse or agree directly, but said ambiguously: "Let's talk about it later."

This answer was beyond Song Yuan's expectation. He looked at Liang Jian puzzled for a long while before replying: "I don't know what you are hesitating about, I just give you an opinion, if you have a better candidate, that's okay." Nothing. Besides, what do you plan to do with the officials who have returned from abroad?"

"Put it directly in the prison and investigate it as dereliction of duty. Don't ask me for instructions, and I don't bother to see it."

An official who abandoned the city and fled at the most critical time in a city is a serious dereliction of duty. Liang Jian thinks that such a person is a waste of time even if he takes a second look.

Seeing him so resolutely, Song Yuan chuckled, propped himself up on the table and sat up, borrowed the vanity mirror in the anteroom to tidy up his clothes, and soon became a gentle and elegant scholar again.Liang Jian asked him to search the steward's house, he didn't dare to be negligent, he should get down to business after the chat, otherwise he would have to go to bed later than a donkey tonight.After coming out of the ear room to bid farewell to Liang Jian, Song Yuan went out swaggeringly.

It's a pity that he was so frightened that he disappeared as soon as he crossed the threshold with such a serious look. He almost jumped up. Liang Jian heard his scream from his chest, which could be heard in the whole courtyard.

"My mother, Mr. Mei, why are you here? You scared me to death." Anyone who saw the person who was talking about just now standing in front of him would go into cardiac arrest.

Mei Zhenghan, who had been the door god at the door for a long time, also surprised him, and said in a low voice: "I came to look for Brother Liang, but I didn't go in because I saw you were busy."

Song Yuan paused and asked, "Did you hear our conversation just now?"

The conversation just now naturally referred to the appointment of Mei Zhenghan as the commander-in-chief. Mei Zhenghan was silent for a while, lowered his head and looked at his toes, and then stopped talking.

He has experienced many things along the way with Liang Jian, being wanted, hunted down, acting blind, being admired, and encountering rebellion, to be honest, he encountered more than he encountered in a year of darts.He knew that he had many shortcomings, and he was far behind Liang Jian.Hearing that Song Yuan asked him to be the commander-in-chief, he said that it was a lie that he was not excited, but Liang Jian's ambiguous answer made him a little sad.

He came to meet people full of joy, but was thrown a basin of cold water.

Seeing this, Song Yuan glanced back at Liang Jian in the room, patted Mei Zhenghan on the shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Don't be discouraged, maybe he just doesn't want you to get involved in danger, Hongye City's The troops seem to be calm, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and the water is also muddy."

Mei Zhenghan smiled and didn't speak. Song Yuan knew it would be useless to talk too much, so he waved to Mei Zhenghan and went about his own business.
