King's Landing [Rebirth]

There was indeed a reason for Xu Ze's delay in the trip this time. When Hongye City was so busy with the epidemic, Xu Ze received a blood letter accusing someone in the city of selling spirit powder, robbing women and forcing them into prostitution, causing many families to be destroyed.Linghuan powder is something that Qiu Tongguo strictly prohibits the sale of. This matter is no small matter. He immediately protected the person who complained and sent someone to investigate.

After a period of open and unannounced visits, everyone found out the dens of this group of people, and Xu Ze personally led people to arrest them.But I don't want a girl who was forced to trust the government to give people a tip-off, so the action didn't achieve the expected effect and ran away as a bandit leader.

When Xu Ze was about to leave for Hongye City, the whereabouts of the bandit leader were revealed. Considering the urgency of the matter, Xu Ze stayed behind to direct the arrest, which caused him to arrive late.

Knowing that Xu Ze was late because of business, Liang Jian didn't blame him, but reminded him that things like Linghuan San would be difficult to get rid of unless he worked hard and asked him to go back and strengthen his guard.Xu Ze did not deal with Linghuan Sanda once or twice. Knowing that he is as dead as a centipede but not stiff is a headache. If he encounters a powerful drug gang, even if he personally leads people out, it will be enough.

Liang Jian also realized that this is a serious problem. Linghuan San is highly addictive and difficult to quit. Many people take it repeatedly and take risks in order to satisfy the pleasure.

Qiu Tongguo did not have the medicinal materials to make Linghuan Powder, and these things could only flow in from Fujian.

If Xu Ze wanted to put an end to it, he would have to strictly restrict trade with Fujian, but doing so would mean cutting off people's money, and I'm afraid it would provoke a group of mobs to retaliate.With Qingxi County's military strength, I'm afraid it's not enough to put the teeth of the desperadoes.Even asking for troops from the surrounding area will not help, unless the elite soldiers from Huyakou can be transferred.But Huyakou is too far away, and it will take seven or eight days at the fastest to send reinforcements.When they arrived, the day lily was cold.

Xu Ze was heartbroken by this matter, Liang Jian reassured him not to worry too much, and if he had difficulties in the future, he would report to the main city as soon as possible, and the main city would send troops to reinforce him.

After breakfast, Liang Jian chatted with Xu Ze about Mei Zhenghan's case. It happened that Song Yuan came to report the situation of other county officials. He saw the two of them were inconvenient to discuss something, so they stood chatting with Mei Zhenghan in the yard.

Today's Hongye City has regained its former vitality and regained its former prosperity.Song Yuanyuan is in the market, and likes to collect gossip in the streets and alleys when he has nothing to do. Today, he just heard something that literati are interested in, and he chatted proudly with Mei Zhenghan.Mei Zhenghan was aroused curiosity when he heard what he said, but Jiang Shengxue would definitely talk about him if he went to this kind of place alone, unless...

Mei Zhenghan turned his attention to Liang Jian who was talking to Xu Ze. If Liang Jian was willing to accompany him, being nagged by Jiang Shengxue would also be a good shield.

There is not much to say about Mei Zhenghan, Liang Jian and Xu Ze quickly finished their chat.Xu Ze was exhausted all the way, so Liang Jian told him to go back to the post house to have a good rest, so there was no need to hurry back.

Seeing Xu Ze resign, Song Yuan stopped talking with Mei Zhenghan, left a sentence to talk when he had time, and followed Liang Jian into the room.

Liang Jian asked Song Yuan to be in charge of the departure of the county magistrate. Song Yuan did not disappoint him. Basically, Song Yuan conveyed the meaning well, and he also rang the alarm bell for several county magistrates to keep their ears open for any trouble.

"Didn't you see the faces of those people, all of them were as black as the bottom of a pot. Seeing the soldiers carrying the files into the carriage for them, their surprised eyes almost popped out." Song Yuan thought of that joyful expression The scene couldn't help laughing out loud, especially that Zhou Cheng, who realized that Liang Jian was acting to amuse him last night after seeing this scene, and his face changed again and again. Song Yuan was afraid that his face would cramp on the spot.

Liang Jian, who was smiling at Song Yuan, couldn't hold back his face either. He clenched his hand into a fist and covered his lips with a muffled smile, which made Song Yuan hold back his smile: "I'll let you tell them to post the city list saying that I'm going to be elected as a general next month." Did you tell me about it?"

"Speaking of which, they reacted differently to this matter. Several of them were thinking of other ideas on the spot, and there were not a few people who had their own ghosts. You don't choose one of the officers and soldiers in the city to be the commander-in-chief, and you don't let Mei Zhenghan come. Assuming the role, instead of spending a lot of time and energy in selecting and assessing from the people, aren't you afraid that the person who comes here will be impure?"

Song Yuan didn't expect the election of the general, he couldn't understand Liang Jian's move.All along, the generals are promoted from the hands of the existing people, and there are very few cases where they are selected from the people.One is that there is confrontation between the government and the people, and the other is that the nepotism between the government is serious. It is difficult for Liang Jian to predict the reaction of the people.

Liang Jian said with a smile: "The most important thing in employing people is to know them and make good use of them. Since I dare to openly select people, I am not afraid that the contestants will use tricks. Moreover, this assessment is not only for the selection of a general. If there are available talents, I will also recruit them."

Hongye City still has a rich military force, but the generals are a little weak. Liang Jian inspected for a period of time and found that there was no suitable candidate for the general, so he had the idea of ​​​​openly recruiting talented people.He not only wants to choose a general this time, but also plans to choose a few generals for future needs.He has some plans about the army in his heart, but it is not perfect yet, and he is planning to think about it for a while.

He won't reveal too much to the people around him until he makes a final decision, just take it slow and wait for everything to fall into place.

Song Yuan had other things to do and didn't stay in the city lord's mansion for a long time, and Mei Zhenghan came in from outside the door as soon as he left.Liang Jian was dealing with official business, so she was not surprised to see him, and let him make trouble.

Mei Zhenghan regards the Nuan Pavilion as his own territory, eating, drinking and having fun is unambiguous, and Liang Jian reads books when he is doing business.

Although Sun Sheng was fatuous and incompetent, addicted to wine and sex, and not interested in poetry, calligraphy and painting, his family had a fairly rich collection of books, and there was a separate bookshelf on one wall of the Nuan Pavilion for displaying these things.Mei Zhenghan picked out a few military-related books to read, and was very interested in the battle described above.Most men have a heroic complex for making contributions, and he is no exception.

The two brothers did not interfere with each other, and the only thing that could be heard in the Snapper was the crackling of the fire and the flipping of books.

At noon, Mei Zhenghan closed the book in his hand and rubbed his sore eyes. Seeing that Liang Jian was still reviewing the official document, he warmed a cup of tea and brought it to him.

"Brother, take a break and watch." Mei Zhenghan glanced at Liang Jian's review, it was not an important matter, but a bit like talking about the family's shortcomings.Neighbors' quarrels, husband and wife disputes are trivial matters, he couldn't help saying: "Why don't you leave these to the chief officials? Why do you have to look at it yourself?"

Mei Zhenghan was a little puzzled, if the city lord took care of everything, wouldn't the officials below have nothing to do.

Liang Jian took Mei Zhenghan's tea and tasted it carefully, closed the last book, and said with a smile: "I asked them to review it and sent it over. I just took over this position and I don't know much about the situation in the city. You can know a lot about these official documents, and when you get familiar with them later, you won’t let them send them.”

The situation of the people can best reflect the overall level of a city, and Liang Jian also wants to know more about the customs and customs of the city.Even if you are in a high position, you can't forget your roots. Only by knowing what the people want can you go further.

Mei Zhenghan nodded knowingly. He felt that what Liang Jian said was very reasonable. A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he approached Liang Jian with a sly smile and said, "What the people below sent up is indeed part of the people's livelihood, but it is not complete. .Brother has finished his official business today, and there is no one to meet him, so why don't we go out for a stroll. You see, you haven't been out for a long time, don't you want to see the revitalized Hongye City?"

Liang Jian thought back and realized that he hadn't gone out for a while. Today, he had a half-day leisure in Fusheng. It was rare that Mei Zhenghan actively invited him out of the house. He could go out for a stroll, so he asked, "Where are you going?"

Mei Zhenghan's eyes lit up, and he said: "Lvyilou, I heard from Song Yuan just now that there is a wonderful person presenting music in Lvyilou today, and many dignitaries and dignitaries will go to join in the fun, shall we go too?"

The name Lvyilou is a bit resounding, and Liang Jian, who was in a happy mood a moment ago, was punched in the air by these three words, causing his excitement to be cut off abruptly before it passed.He looked at Mei Zhenghan who was full of anticipation, scolded Song Yuan in his heart, pretended to be angry and said: "I am a dignified city lord who will accompany you to visit Qing|lou, and you are not afraid of others poking my spine."

Mei Zhenghan became anxious when he heard it, and quickly explained: "No, Song Yuan said that Luyilou is not Qing|lou, it's just a place to listen to music, but it's just on Flower Street." Mei Zhenghan said the second half He lowered his voice, he really didn't have the confidence to be associated with Huajie.

Of course Liang Jian knew that Lvyilou was not Qing|lou. After all, he had a lot to do with this place in his previous life, and knew the situation here better than outsiders. He just wanted to tease Mei Zhenghan.Seeing Mei Zhenghan's anxious explanation, Liang Jian couldn't help laughing, and stretched out his hand to rub his hair, thinking that he was cute and cute when he was still a boy.

It's not impossible for Mei Zhenghan to want him to go to Lvyilou, but thinking that the first time Mei Zhenghan invited him out was to go to this kind of place to listen to other people playing the piano, Liang Jian didn't want him to be happy, and deliberately refused: "That's also a firework place, no way."

Mei Zhenghan pursed her lips, looked at Liang Jian with aggrieved eyes, pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly: "Just go once, just once, come with me, okay?"

Liang Jian pulled back her sleeves, and did not look down at Mei Zhenghan, fearing that she would not be able to resist the temptation|temperary temptation, so she agreed.

Mei Zhenghan was so curious that he didn't want to give up just like that. He squatted down and held the edge of the desk with both hands, half of his face was hidden under the desk, revealing a pair of clear eyes looking at Liang Jian, full of grievances, pity, I would love to go, brother bully.Like a puppy that was abandoned by someone, with big watery eyes, he used his eyes to condemn someone who didn't agree.

Liang Jian only felt that Mei Zhenghan, who was shot in the heart, was so cute who acted like a baby and begged for comfort.Those blue eyes are like the clear sky after the rain, clean and thorough without any impurities. When staring at people without blinking, they seem to be able to speak, writing out the thoughts in people's hearts clearly .

When Liang Jian was defeated, she raised her forehead and said, "I lost to you, I will go with you."

Hearing that Liang Jian let loose, Mei Zhenghan couldn't help but jumped up from the ground and leaned over to hug Liang Jian, rubbed his head, and said happily, "Thank you brother, then let's go now."

Liang Jian's scalp was numb from being rubbed, and she felt that she had raised a wolf cub, and when she was happy, she would rub her face against others.Feeling both helpless and happy, he stretched out his hand and tapped on Mei Zhenghan's forehead, and said, "What's the hurry, the Lvyilou won't open until evening, are you going to guard the gate now?"
