The best county magistrate

"Teacher, what are they arguing about?" Zhao Yanli asked knowingly.

Yang Xuanchen turned around and rolled his eyes, "You heard everything, what are you still arguing about?"

"It's nothing more than those things between men and women. Why, are you interested?"

Zhao Yanli nodded slightly. He didn't know much about the lives of the common people.

Since Yang Xuanchen became the Shao Zhanshi, he had many opportunities to leave the palace, but most of the time he went out of the palace was to listen to music in brothels.

Opportunities like this to get close to the people are rare.

Zhao Yanli still found it very interesting to encounter two craftsmen fighting over a woman today.

Just as he was about to say something, the craftsman named Mao Wuzi shouted, "We have been friends for many years!"

"I told you when we were drinking a few days ago that I would marry no one but Xiu Niang. How dare you tell me today that you and Xiu Niang are together?"

"Do you treat me as a brother? As a friend?"

You think what he said makes sense, and it makes sense from his perspective.

But from Huang Laoer's perspective, this matter of feelings is not something you, Mao Wuzi, have the final say on. The embroiderer made the choice on her own initiative, so what can I do?

But after all, the two have been friends for many years, and Huang Laoer always felt a little uneasy about Mao Wuzi's questioning.

"Old Mao, this is not what you think..."

"It's your grandma's leg!" Mao Wuzi shouted and punched Huang Laoer in the face with his fist.

After being hit hard several times, some craftsmen nearby rushed to pull the two men apart, but Mao Wuzi was too angry to swallow this, and he started to attack Huang Laoer crazily, making him anxious.

Then the two of them started fighting.

"Teacher, will you do anything if they beat you like this? Will someone die?" Zhao Yanli asked while looking at the two people who were fighting each other.

Yang Xuanchen looked at Zhao Yanli, a cunning gleam in his eyes.

This kid has a relatively kind heart, but he is a little straight and doesn't understand any twists and turns.

If he wanted to be a general and fight on the battlefield, that would be fine, but if he wanted to become the emperor of Dayan, he was still a long way to go.

He did not directly answer Zhao Yanli's question, but said slowly: "Yanli, what do you think when you see them fighting like this?"

Zhao Yanli frowned and replied, "I don't think this is a good idea. Not only will it hurt the relationship, but it could also result in someone getting killed."

Yang Xuanchen looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, but his heart was unusually calm.

He turned to look at Zhao Yanli, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes, "See, this is the human heart, complex and fragile."

"If common people fight for a woman, the upper class will fight for wealth and status. These fights will always exist and will never disappear."

"As the eldest prince, the future crown prince, you should learn to control these conflicts in your own hands."

"So, I want to see how you deal with this matter today."

When Zhao Yanli heard this, his heart was in turmoil.

He looked at the two craftsmen and couldn't help but feel emotional.

It is really sad that these two people can ignore their years of friendship for the sake of momentary emotions.

If they were ministers in the court, they probably wouldn't fight violently, but would use more shady tricks. If the situation got out of hand, it might be a fight involving hundreds or even thousands of people.

The teacher is right. If I don’t even have the ability to control my subjects and people, how can I be the ruler of a country!

But, playing tricks on others is too tiring!

As for the two people fighting over the woman in front of him, he had no good way to solve the problem.

It is not necessary to let the embroiderer serve Mao Wuzi on the 1st, 3rd and 5th, and Huang Laoer on the 2nd, 4th and 6th.

What should I do?

Yang Xuanchen seemed to see through Zhao Yanli's thoughts. He whispered, "Yanli, what they need is not a simple judge, but someone who can understand and guide them."

"The first thing that person needs to have is the ability to win people's hearts. It's not difficult to resolve conflicts. The difficult part is how to make them all grateful to you."

"Think about it, what are they fighting for, and what can you give?"

A flash of enlightenment came into Zhao Yanli's mind, and he began to understand what Yang Xuanchen said.

Yes, what the two of them are fighting about is nothing more than a woman. If I give Mao Wuzi a woman, can this dispute be resolved?

"Teacher, do you want me to find a woman for Mao Wuzi?"

With a thud, Zhao Yanli was hit hard.

"Idiot! Today they are fighting for a woman, you can afford it! Then let me ask you, tomorrow your ministers will fight for your throne, will you give it to her?" Yang Xuanchen asked in a bad tone.

Zhao Yanli looked embarrassed. He really didn't fully understand what Yang Xuanchen said.

Yang Xuanchen sighed and continued, "If you want to win people's hearts, the first thing you need to do is understand them. Understand their needs, their fears, and their expectations."

"Then, use your wisdom to guide them, resolve their grievances, and make them follow you willingly."

A hint of determination flashed in Zhao Yanli's eyes. He knew that this was an important lesson he needed to learn.

He looked at Yang Xuanchen, his heart full of respect and determination.

Yang Xuanchen smiled, seeming satisfied with Zhao Yanli's reaction.

He said softly: "Now, let's use wisdom to solve this problem."

The two men stood there quietly, observing the fight between the two craftsmen.

Yang Xuanchen smiled slightly. He knew that what Zhao Yanli needed was not only theory but also practice.

He patted Zhao Yanli's shoulder gently, motioning him to follow him, and then slowly walked towards the two craftsmen who were fighting.

Mao Wuzi and Huang Laoer were already fighting fiercely at this time, and the people around them were also talking about it, but no one dared to step forward to stop it.

Yang Xuanchen walked between the two men and said in his majestic yet gentle voice: "Brothers, can you please stop and listen to me?"

When Mao Wuzi and Huang Laoer heard Yang Xuanchen's voice, they involuntarily stopped what they were doing.

They were curious about Yang Xuanchen's identity, but were also shocked by the authority in his voice.

Seeing the two men stop fighting, Yang Xuanchen continued, "I understand the conflict between you, but if you continue fighting like this, not only will it not solve the problem, but it will also break your friendship of many years."

"Are you willing to give up your brotherhood for a woman?"

Mao Wuzi and Huang Laoer looked at each other, and their hearts began to waver.

Seeing this, Yang Xuanchen added: "I know you are all loyal people, but true loyalty cannot be proven with fists."

"If you are willing, I can provide you with a solution."

After hearing this, the two looked at each other with expectant expressions.

Yang Xuanchen continued: "You are all excellent craftsmen, and I believe you are all capable of finding better women."

"Brother Mao likes the embroiderer, and Brother Huang should know this very well..." He turned his head to Mao Wuzi, "Then have you asked Brother Huang whether he likes the embroiderer?"

Mao Wuzi was speechless for a moment when asked this question. It seemed that he had never asked Huang Laoer this question before.

I have expressed my love for the embroiderer in front of my brother, so my brother probably won't like her anymore.

Seeing that he was a little confused, Yang Xuanchen continued to ask: "Look, you only care about your own thoughts and don't consider your brother's feelings."

He sighed and said, "Brother Huang must have been trying his best to avoid the embroiderer recently, but his action must have won the embroiderer's favor."

"A man who can give up his own happiness for the happiness of his brothers, Brother Mao, tell me, which woman in the world would not love such a man?"

Mao Wuzi lowered his head, recalling every detail of the interactions between the three of them, and sighed in his heart.

The embroiderer did look down on his machismo, but she looked upon Huang Laoer, an honest man, with a different eye.

After he said that he liked the embroiderer, Huang Laoer had indeed been avoiding the question. Could it be that it was really because, as the young man in front of him said, the embroiderer had taken a fancy to him?

"As for the embroiderer, she has the right to choose her own happiness, doesn't she?" Yang Xuanchen continued to ask.

Mao Wuzi and Huang Laoer were silent for a while, and then Mao Wuzi said, "Master Yang, you are right. I am the one who has gone crazy."

As he spoke, he pulled Huang Laoer's hand and continued to hit himself, "Brother, hit me now, I am not a human being, I..."

Huang Lao Er pulled his hand back forcefully, "Brother, don't do this. I don't want to do this either."

"I know that my brother likes Xiu Niang, so I rejected her at first, but I like her in my heart too..."

"Stop talking, good brother. Since Xiu Niang chose you, she must have her reasons." Mao Wuzi paused, "Xiu Niang is not the only woman in the world!"

After a few words from Yang Xuanchen, the two reconciled. After learning that the young man in front of them was Yang Xuanchen, everyone became even more grateful to him.

Yang Xuanchen smiled, he knew that the dispute had been settled.

He turned to look at Zhao Yanli and said, "Yanli, you see, this is the way to win people's hearts."

“Instead of using power to suppress them, we should use wisdom to guide them and let them realize what is the right choice.”

Zhao Yanli looked at Yang Xuanchen with admiration in his heart.

This is not just about resolving a fight, but also about a profound learning experience.

He nodded seriously, indicating that he had understood Yang Xuanchen's teachings.

Yang Xuanchen smiled with satisfaction, and then said to Mao Wuzi and Huang Laoer: "Two brothers, I have prepared some wine for you."

"Why don't we go have a few drinks together to celebrate your reconciliation and the new life you're about to start."
