Chapter 157

When these students were all scolded and scolded by Luo Yan, Luo Yan turned his head and looked at the few gentry standing in front of the crowd.The unusual posture, the obviously delicate clothing materials, and even the arrogance on the face, and there are a few servants behind them who are nodding and bowing to protect them, it is obvious that these are the squires who came to find trouble up.

Nodding to these people, Luo Yan said: "Since you have come to the door, come in and have a talk." After speaking, he ignored these people, turned around and walked towards the back office.

Don't say that Luo Yan is going to turn against these people, but just say that as a county magistrate, giving these guys good face, isn't it just embarrassing yourself.No matter how powerful the squires are, in Luo Yan's eyes, there is always a way to deal with them.When it comes to playing with the brain, Luo Yan feels that he won't be inferior to these people.

After hearing Luo Yan's words, the yamen servants also cleared a road for these gentry to pass through.A few servants still wanted to follow, but were slapped and beaten by the yamen servants.

It's true that they are all envoys, but their identities are vastly different.The masters of these servants may be somewhat in awe, after all, they are also local bigwigs.But let them put all these servants in the county government today, and they don't have to use them tomorrow.When did the county government allow servants to enter at will.

Walking into the back office, pulling a passing official, Luo Yan ordered Chen Yuru to be called.Although Chen Yuru didn't need to say anything about this matter, there was still someone to be a witness in front of these people.Otherwise, people would suspect that they had made some kind of deal in private.Chen Yuru came very quickly, Luo Yan just arrived at the meeting place and ordered someone to make tea, and he came in.

"Lang Jun, I don't know why I called you to come here, but what's the matter?" Chen Yuru asked.

"Well, a few gentry came here today, and you follow along to take a look. No matter what it is, you just look at it, and there is no need to say anything. Also, I don't want to ask their names. You know them all if you want to come. Remember, Then write me a list. In the future, you won't be afraid to admit the wrong person." Luo Yan was murderous at this moment.

Dare to bring people to make such a fuss at the gate of the county government office today, if you don't clean up, you will be sorry for your face.

When those wealthy gentry entered the county government office, they discussed with each other a few words.Therefore, after Luo Yan explained the matter to Chen Yuru, these people knocked on the door carefully, and then walked in with Luo Yan's consent.

Fortunately, these people are not too stupid, and now they also know that this is the county government, not their three-acre land.So I also put away the way I used to be domineering, and stood respectfully.He waited for Luo Yan to say something before he dared to sit down.After all, I and the others don't know Luo Yan very well, so it's just the beginning to give each other face.

Just as the servant brought the tea in, Luo Yan asked these people to sit down first, and when the tea was poured, the servant left to take a sip, and then Luo Yan got to the point.Now that people are making trouble in front of his house, Luo Yan can't keep his posture too low. "Why are you here?" Luo Yan asked gently without making people feel alienated just by smiling like this.

These people complained in their hearts, you don't know anything, you were still scolding those poor students just now, why did you pretend to be confused when you came to us.

No way, let's be honest. "Lang Jun, I'm waiting for the incompetent son Lang to be expelled today. So I came here with the audacity to ask Lang Jun to show his respect and let the son go."

At this moment, these people don't know what Luo Yan's attitude towards them is.Therefore, asking such a question is actually asking Luo Yan to express his opinion.If it was Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, then this time Luo Yan probably wanted to take advantage of them so as to establish his prestige, and they would just follow suit.But if Luo Yan wants to change his mind, then he will have to fight hard next.

After taking a sip of water, Luo Yan asked, "Have you ever read the records of your boys? Do you know why I only deported a few of them?"

Obviously, these few kicked out their sons as soon as they heard about the county school.Just in time, I heard from my son that he was going to the county government to make trouble again, so we hurriedly got together to discuss and ran over.In their minds, only their own son was expelled, because it meant that the new county magistrate would attack them.Many of them discussed this matter together the day before yesterday.

As for the reason, hehe, there was no reason before, and there should be no reason now.

So I shook my head and said, "I don't know."

At first, I thought that Luo Yan would continue to talk to them, but who would have thought that Luo Yan would scold them without giving any face: "Since you don't know, then what are you doing here? What do you think the county school is? In the position of a humble scholar, one should do one’s duty and study hard, what is a county school?”

By this time, the country gentry were still not reconciled. Was Xu Song like this not long ago?Let yourself wait for others to soften your attitude first, give some benefits, and then come a little harder, there is nothing you can't handle.So at this time, I still beg for mercy: "Please give me another chance to wait for Erlang. Presumably after this time, they will restrain themselves a lot and go to study with peace of mind."

Sighing: "There is no turning back when I started work. I learned that the school atmosphere in the county is too bad on the first day. You must have asked about what I did before. How can I be educated in one place and be made like this? Readers do."

Hearing Luo Yan's response, the gentry exchanged colors with each other, and one of the representatives came out and said, "Magistrate Luo, the conditions we set with Magistrate Xu..."

This time they came here, not only to talk about the expulsion of their own son.There is also the task of following this matter to find out the transaction behind it, whether Luo Yan still recognizes it.The implication of this sentence is to ask Luo Yan to come up now, whether the deal he made with Xu Song in the past is still worth it.

Luo Yan was a little annoyed, these people really insisted on explaining their words.

"I know what you mean. What I want to tell you now is that His Majesty asked me to come here to be the county magistrate of all the people in Lantian, not the county magistrate of certain people and certain families."

Luo Yan's casual words changed the faces of these gentry.The meaning of this was already very obvious, Luo Yan didn't want to take Xu Song's order, and wanted to break the previous rules.This is terrible, no matter what the background of this person is, it is still quite difficult for me and others to fight against a county magistrate.If it doesn't work out, the price to pay will be too high, so it's better to talk about it well.

"Your Majesty, why don't we discuss it later. After all, I have some skills in the county. I think I can help you a lot in the future, whether it is taxation or corvee. Why make a decision in such a hurry. None of those muddy legs are easy to get along with. On weekdays, I will take care of you instead of Mr. Lang, and it will save you trouble."

The words of these people gradually began to become tougher.In the final analysis, it is the same as before, if you can't be soft, you can come to hard, and you can solve it with your mouth, why bother to fight to the death.What's more, these people don't believe that Luo Yan has the guts to confront them head-on.

After hearing this, Luo Yan's face suddenly changed.

The county magistrate only has so little power. If he agrees to the conditions of these people, he is basically no different from a puppet giving orders.Moreover, when these people reached out to Luo Yan for power, they also had the intention of blackmailing Luo Yan.Those who have some skills in the county and those with muddy legs are not easy to get along with.

The implication is that if you disagree, then I will use my ability to resist you.If you don't do it well, you will encourage the villagers to make troubles, so I'm not afraid that you won't submit.

In the land of Gyeonggi, what the county magistrates are most afraid of is not that they will not be able to pay taxes.The big thing about taxation is that at most, the government will be inferior during the assessment of the bureaucracy. As long as there is improvement in one year, it will not lose the official position, and at most it will affect the promotion.

The civil uprising is the most terrible thing. If it is not handled well, the rioters will attack Chang'an.At that time, the impact will be enough to die several times.And Lantian is such a very special place. It is [-] miles away from Chang'an. If you walk fast, you can reach Chang'an in one day.Moreover, this road is blocked by everyone, there is no pass at all, and there is no mountain that can stop people.

Luo Yan knew that these people were going to be tough.

"I think you all don't know who I am, so I'll tell you about it now." Without any reason, Luo Yan said such a sentence.

"I used to be a writer in the Palace of the King of Qin, and I used to walk as usual in the Taiji Palace. I beat and scolded princes and sons in the Hongwen Museum, and I used to call the prince of the Tang Dynasty in Wanshou County. I met Xieli with His Majesty by the Weishui River, Jingzhou In the city, I led soldiers to kill troublesome people."

In order to avoid taboo, Luo Yan hasn't included the matter of Xuanwumen, even so, these country gentry have a bit of a bad face.Even Chen Yuru, who sat and listened quietly, looked shocked at the moment.Many things about Luo Yan are not very clear at their level.But from what I heard now, this person's background is definitely not as simple as being a founding county magistrate on the surface.

It's okay to beat and scold the prince's children, and he was not punished with a felony if he ordered the prince of the dynasty.Such courage and grace.

What's more, this county magistrate with a thin body and a weak face actually led soldiers and killed people.

It is not uncommon for scholars to walk the world with their swords, but there are still a few who actually kill people.What's more, according to Luo Yan's meaning, his status in the army was not low.Ordinary literati can lead soldiers to kill people in the army and make jokes.

Seeing that the faces of these people were a little unnatural, Luo Yan glanced at them contemptuously, and continued: "Now when you see this bald pen dipped in ink in my hand, it's just that you are still doing well. In my heart, you are still a law-abiding citizen. However, once you find out that you have done something good, what you will see is the bloody knife in my hand. Go back and tell some people, don't think that you have some power in your hand, just want to Works are domineering. This Lantian is the world of the Tang Dynasty, and it abides by the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

After speaking, Luo Yan got up and walked out regardless of the expressions of these people.

 The second update came a little late, and the conflict of the plot got stuck, sorry.Thank you tian0914 and book friend 160522031358963 for the monthly tickets, thank you for your subscription.
