Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

The sound of pattering rain hitting the trees makes one feel unavoidably irritable after listening to it for a long time.

This is already the third day of rain, during which the rain only fell for a while, and there was no sign of stopping at all.

In the past three days, Tang Zisheng had nothing to do other than consoling the people in the city. Fortunately, because all the officials were there in the county, there were not many people who were fluctuating.

I just don't know if something will happen to Qingcheng.

"Your Excellency, are you thinking about Mr. Xu?" Shuqi brought the porridge over, and seeing Mr. Tang in a daze, he knew that he must be thinking about Mr. Xu.

"Of course I wanted to. I should have stayed by his side to accompany him in such a situation. But I didn't want to be because I had to be alone." Although he also arranged a lot of soldiers over there, he still couldn't help it. Relieved.

Shuqi snickered, obviously Young Master Xu stayed with his father, so why did he become alone in the mouth of the lord, but as a person who serves the lord, he dare not joke with the lord so clearly, "Sishan, Cang'er County In other words, if your lord is really worried about Mr. Xu, you can send someone to ask him when the rain outside calms down."

However, Tang Zisheng shook his head. The rain has not abated yet, and there is no telling when it will slow down and come back up again. When it rains, the mountain is not safe. In case of mudslides and landslides, it will be a waste of life.

"Is there any trouble for the people to clear the porridge every day?" Tang Zisheng did not lack food, but he had to feed more than 7000 people, and the daily expenses were not a small sum, so he had to save some.

But the clear porridge he gave was not as clear as the ones made in the village without a few grains of rice in the water, and three bowls a day could still fill one's stomach.

"Of course there are. In fact, adults, you shouldn't care about them. They obviously carry a lot of food. If the porridge given every day is not enough to eat their own food, it's fine. If you don't eat it, you just eat it every day." Every day, I live on the food you give me, so I don’t have enough to eat and complain that I am stingy, and I don’t even give them enough food.”

Shuqi was a little bit aggrieved when he spoke, if the adults hadn't arranged everything properly, it would have happened when the rainstorm just happened.Regardless of whether these people can't even save their lives, it's their turn to have the strength to gossip now.

"As long as they don't cause trouble, don't worry about them." Tang Zisheng didn't think it was a big deal. He was afraid that the only wealth in those people's hands was the food.

"My lord." A man in coir raincoat outside the cave came over in the rain, and it was Miao inspector who took off the bamboo hat on his head.

"How's the situation down the mountain?"

"The water from the upstream has already flooded the county seat. If the rain continues, the water level will have to rise again."

Inspector Miao sighed. Their Cang'er County is located in a mountain depression. Even if there is no water from the upper reaches, the rain from the sky alone is embarrassing.

"Well, I don't need to go down to the mountain every day to check the situation these few days. According to the weather, it will rain for at least another five or six days. When the rain becomes lighter and stable, I will go to the mountainside."

The county town was probably going to be flooded, and this situation also reminded Tang Zisheng that the drainage system would have to be improved in the future when the city was built.

Just do what you say, Tang Zisheng drank the porridge in the bowl and went to the workshop.Anyway, if there is nothing going on recently, it is better to perfect the structural diagram of the city's interior.

-

Imperial city, Yan family.

Yan or looked at the news from Xizhou, his already expressionless face became colder in vain, and the subordinates in the room who were listening to the order were terrified.

"Someone will come here to deliver the news about the heavy rain in Xizhou." Yan or didn't expect that Nanzhou didn't wait for the heavy rain, but Xizhou came first, and it was so serious.

"The Governor of the Kaiyun Mansion in Xizhou has already rushed to deliver the news to the Imperial City, and the news will enter the Imperial City tomorrow." But no one expected when the news would reach the Emperor.

"Arranged someone to pretend to be Kaiyun Mansion to deliver the news. I want the court to know the news today." Yan Or clenched his fists. There was a map of Xizhou on the table in front of him, and a large area was circled on it. That is the rainfall area of ​​Xizhou, and unfortunately Cang'er County stands firmly in it.

"Yes, my lord." The spy disappeared from the house after receiving the order.

Yan's ravine-like eyebrows never stretched, but no matter what, he must get his hands on this trip to Xizhou for disaster relief. He just hopes that the Xizhou general soldier will be smarter and maintain Xizhou's security before he rushes to Xizhou. situation.

Otherwise, the position of the commander-in-chief would be over for him.

……

"Ah--" Xu Qingcheng rubbed his nose, he didn't lift the quilt last night, why did he sneeze.

"But I caught a cold." Xu Yingle took out a thick coat and put it on Xu Qingcheng's body, and the cave was burning day and night.

But because it rains all the time, the air is always humid. This kind of climate is the most likely to fall ill.

It wasn't until five or six days on the mountain that several people who didn't work or eat or do anything on weekdays fell ill.

"No way, it's just that the nose is a little itchy, maybe there are bugs dangling around." Xu Qingcheng didn't refuse his father's kindness, and tightened his clothes tightly, no matter what he couldn't fall down.

But without waiting for Xu Qingcheng to add another piece of clothing to his father, Mu Geer hurried in, "Brother Qingcheng, go outside and have a look, some lazy men in the village are going to fight with Master Bing, and they have all of them in their hands." Knife."

When Xu Qingcheng heard that he was taking the knife, he walked out quickly with an embarrassed expression, and the noise outside became louder and louder, as if a few short-sighted people were cursing something.

"You soldiers, do you still have the law? We are all good citizens. If you don't follow the rules, you will be arrested. I will sue you at the county master."

The heart-piercing shouts were really harsh to people's ears, and more than one person shouted. When Xu Qingcheng came out, he saw several soldiers holding down four or five people stretching their bodies lightly. A group of strong men surrounded them in the middle.

"What's going on?" Xu Qingcheng glanced at the few people who were held down, and when he saw Wang Da and Wang Er inside, he knew what kind of composition these people were.

"Xu Qingcheng, quickly ask these soldiers to release my son." When Aunt Wang saw Xu Qingcheng, she rushed over like crazy, as if she would kill him if Xu Qingcheng refused to let him go.

It's not bad for a person to go crazy, not to mention that Aunt Wang came over with a stride, and the people around her haven't reacted yet.

It's just that when Xu Qingcheng saw Wang Da and Wang Er, he already had a dike in place. When Aunt Wang rushed over, she nimbly pressed Aunt Wang's Jianjing acupoint with both hands, making her unable to move.

Then the soldiers around also reacted, held Aunt Wang's family down, and said, "Mr. Xu, these people wanted to steal food, but we caught them trying to resist and wounded our two brothers. What will happen to me?" I plan to tie them up and hand them over to the county magistrate when the rain stops."

The surrounding villagers turned pale when they heard that they were robbing food and using knives. There are such vicious people in their village.

"If that's the case, deal with it according to your method." Xu Qingcheng didn't let some people continue to make trouble, but also warned, "Tie them tightly, and only give them one meal a day, and don't let them run away."

"Yes, Mr. Xu."

These soldiers also went through several months of training, and they took people away in an orderly manner.As for the place where the prisoners will be held, County Magistrate Tang has already prepared it.

As soon as this person was pushed away, some nosy people said to Xu Qingcheng, "Qingcheng, they are all members of the same village after all. Although they have committed a major incident, we can deal with it privately. If it is brought to the government, the whole village Your reputation is gone, should you think about it again?"

"Yeah, they made a mistake and we just opened the ancestral hall to teach them a lesson. There's no need to send it to the government. It's hard for young children in our village to talk about their relationship after rumors spread that a few people from our Baihe village were sent to prison. "

Xu Qingcheng looked at the village chief, "What does the village chief think?"

Village head Zhang kept silent. If he was to stand up for him, he would definitely be on Xu Qingcheng's side. Among other things, the ancestral hall in his village should not deal with the matter of daring to use a knife on Lord Bing.But the two who stood up to speak were elders in the village, and he was not easy to offend.

The village chief didn't speak, but the people in the village were moved after hearing the elder's words. It's hard to say anything else. The reputation of the village is a big matter, which concerns everyone in the village, so we should be more cautious.

Xu Qingcheng breathed out, this matter can't be so good, "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Naturally, they should be handed over to the county government for breaking the state law. The rule of opening the ancestral hall is to deal with private affairs. Using the public for personal gain?"

A hat was placed on several elders of the clan, and in the end they all dared not speak.

Then Xu Qingcheng said again, "If crimes occurred in the village, they did something wrong themselves. The people in our village reported it themselves. I think even if it spreads to other villages, they will only think that our village is a place to tell right from wrong. , I think all uncles and aunts should not think too much, just stay here and wait for the rain to stop."

After the two words were finished, Xu Qingcheng didn't stay any longer and went outside. Tang Zisheng sent at least 20 soldiers to each village.

Although there are not many people in a village, all of them can fight, and it is more than enough to manage.

"Young Master Xu." The two soldiers guarding the food saluted when Xu Qingcheng came over.

"Is there anyone wandering around these days?"

The two soldiers glanced at each other and nodded sincerely. The brother who cooks the food every day will come in to get food, and he can't hide it from the people. Not long ago, two people sneaked in and said they were going to offer sacrifices. Hope to let them give some food.

"Among those wandering people, is there anyone who hasn't committed a crime today?"

"I can't remember clearly. There are a lot of people around here. Some of them are just curious to see how much food is left here, and some are thinking about food. However, the ones who committed crimes came the most frequently, we all have the impression .”

Xu Qingcheng nodded to show that he understood, "Recently, I am arranging a group of people to come over to guard, especially at night. I will go to say hello to the patrollers later, and come here more often at night."

After all, Xu Qingcheng left with doubts. The few people he caught today didn't have a good reputation in the village, and they didn't make people suspicious for doing such a thing.

But the few of them used to be petty thieves, and he didn't believe that they could do it alone when they came to grab food with knives.

As for whether Wang Da Wang Er was the one behind the scenes or someone else, he was more cautious.
