Dress to be a celebrity

What the county government brought was an ordinary green oil carriage, and the horses were fat and vigorous, and it seemed that they were hand-fed by experts.Mr. Huang is a man who knows how to ride horses, and he also raises horses. Seeing that even a rough horse for driving in his county is well-groomed and agile, he can't help but praise: "It is said that the south is not a place for grazing horses. This horse It looks energetic and imposing, could it be that there are family members brought from the north in the Daling's mansion who know how to raise horses?"

The family who can raise horses did not bring them, but there is a son who can raise horses.

This stage horse is also an important part of the county government. If a horse dies, it will cost a lot of money, and it will also affect the year-end evaluation.So Song Shi didn't dare to begrudge the money. Shortly after taking office in Guangxi with Mr. Song, he bought a journal article on horse breeding technology for [-] yuan and studied it by himself.

At the beginning, it was said in the journal that it is best to use cement to pave the ground, feed troughs and defecation trenches for the stables. Almost all the first batch of cement he tried to burn in the county brick kiln went to the post station to repair the stables. The sewers of the county government are all The pottery pipes were laid, and only a little cement was wrapped outside the joints to make up for leaks.

Moving to Wuping is also the same way to support the posthorse - it is no exaggeration to say that the horse's house is more modern than his house!The horse farm here is built at the foot of the mountain, and the mountain stream can be directly drawn in and stored in the water tower as tap water. Moso bamboo and leather bags are connected to the bottom as flushing pipes. The stables are washed with tap water every day to clean up the excrement.When the weather is hot, the mouth of the water storage tank should be opened, and the horse should be showered with warm water to cool down physically.

They have to use a bucket to take a bath in the county government.

Song Shi touched the horse's head and happily introduced his experience: "It's not very difficult to raise a good horse. You just need to teach it to eat well, live in a clean place, have a place to move around, and not suffer from the heat and cold. And this Horses can’t talk, so people should always pay attention to its body, and early detection and treatment of diseases..."

It's a bit troublesome to say, but this is a horse!

In the previous life, their colleague raised a cat and served as the owner. They would rather eat dirt every day, but also have to buy imported cat food, toys and cat climbing frames for the baby.He just built a concrete stable, and asked people to clean it regularly, and fed some green fodder, bean cakes, wheat grains, apples... How can it be so far!

He couldn't help showing a loving smile like an old father, and said to Mr. Huang: "Treating horses is actually the same as treating people. As long as you put more thought into it, you can raise them well."

Mr. Huang nodded slightly, and said approvingly: "That's right, what's hard to come by is hard work."

Just looking at these few registration sheds that don’t require money for petitions, the details are so detailed that ordinary scribes can almost figure out the registration forms of their false reports of injustice with the help of lists and pictures, which shows Song Lingzhi’s intentions.

Not only can he focus on the name of the sentence; he is also willing to ask his own son to risk the flood to save people, which is focused on disaster relief; and regardless of personal evaluation, he asks the court for relief, which is focused on the livelihood of the people... Sure enough, he deserves to be "the common people" Parents" four characters.

Although he hadn't seen County Magistrate Song yet, Huang Xun had already pictured in his heart a clean and refined parent official who cared about people's livelihood.And the image of greedy and cruel officials portrayed by the big country gentry who went to the province to leapfrog to sue has already been washed out in the singing of "The Legend of the White-haired Fairy".

Huang Xun left two servants waiting for the news outside the Yamen, and took Tian Shiye and Song Shi to the car, and the remaining six servants accompanied the car.Behind the Hulala is a semi-circular Minzhuang surrounding the car, all of which were prepared by Mr. Song for his son, for fear that he will be assassinated.

Song Shi explained apologetically, and Mr. Huang expressed his understanding in an understanding way—just looking at the performance of those township eunuchs who went to the province to complain and the articles they sent, there are really many people in Wuping County who hate to kill the Song family. Father and son eat meat and sleep skin.

Fortunately, he went to the city alone and did not follow to the Lin family, otherwise he would be provoked by others.

He was secretly glad that when he boarded the county government's carriage, a cool and pleasant fragrance hit his face immediately, dispelling the dry and hot atmosphere outside the carriage and refreshing him.

The father is a good official, and the son is not bad.

Looking up, the carriage is decorated with light blue silk upholstery, and the windows are also covered with thick lattice screens, and there is a thicker green silk shade inside.There is a soft temper leather curtain hanging on the outside of the door, and a pair of snow-white soft kudzu curtains on the inside.I don’t know what is sewn on the edge of the middle of the soft curtain, but it is tightly attached to the seam, and the lower edge is also close to the car board. If people want to go in, they must first pull the curtain edge and use a little force to separate it from the left and right. After letting go, the two curtains will be glued back together automatically. , quite interesting.

Not only is the compartment cool and cool, but there is also a snack table at the front of the car. In the lower drawers are fresh fruits, snacks, fresh pear juice, hawthorn cheese, and warm tea in bamboo tubes.The bamboo tube is not afraid of falling, and the mouth and lid are carved with threads according to the style of the mouth of a modern beverage bottle. It is not easy to spill when tightened, and it is convenient to carry when traveling.

Huang Xunyan unscrewed the bamboo tube with his own hands, took a sip of the cool pear juice, and sighed in admiration: "This is really an ingenuity."

When he travels, he brings far more exquisite tea sets and snacks than the Song family's, but he has never thought about getting such convenient car curtains and bamboo tubes, but I don't know if it is the ingenuity of the craftsman or the female relatives?

As a censor, he didn't have any worries about the son of a county magistrate or a student of the county school, so he asked directly.Song Shi said with a big face, "I just thought of it by accident. In fact, I just wrapped a few magnets around the edge of the curtain. It's not new to say it. The two gentlemen are also from the north. Are you not used to so many poisonous insects in the local area? Turn around." I asked someone to send a pair to Mr., and put it in the car to go home."

There is nothing to say about the bamboo tube. Ask the craftsman to screw the inner and outer openings, measure the depth and carve threads, which is easier to make than the mortise and tenon structure.

Huang Xunkan looked at the tightly closed inner curtain and praised: "Song Sheren is really smart. When we came here, we heard from the villagers that Sheren once made a rare treasure that could not sink in water. The heavy rain ahead It saved many lives? Some villagers said that it was offered by the white-haired fairy..."

When he turned his eyes to look at Song Shi, his expression was gentle, but it was unavoidable that there was a bit of oppression from the superior.

Song Shi forcibly pretended not to know Huang Xun's identity, and had to cooperate with him to explain the problem—until the leader was satisfied: "To tell you the truth, I have never rescued a white-haired fairy, nor have I seen it with my own eyes. This person only heard her name from the singer's mouth."

That's right, he first heard the name Yang Xi'er in the opera "The White Haired Girl".

He seemed helpless and smiled: "That Le Fu made up words casually, so don't take it seriously. For example, the one I saved in the water that day was not a rare treasure, but a small set of sheepskin rafts commonly used on the Yellow River. It’s just a leather jacket that can be worn on the body.”

Those two were from the north, so they naturally knew that sheepskin rafts could swim, so they couldn't help laughing: "There are boats here in Wuping, but sheepskins are regarded as treasures."

Song Shi also laughed: "Fujian is a prosperous place. There have been many boats since ancient times. Where can I use sheepskin? I was just afraid that someone would fall off the boat and be drowned in such a deep stagnant water, so I made a few boats. A leather jacket that can be worn on the body, if it falls, it can float for a while, waiting for someone to fish it with a bamboo pole."

But the leather lifejackets are really fat. When Senior Brother Huan came up to look for him that day, both of them were wearing lifejackets.

Huang Xunyin lifted his spirits when he heard about the flood, and asked, "The water was really that deep at that time. How many places were flooded? Was there any disaster in the city?"

Song Shi smiled and said: "It's not deep. There are several places in the city where the water is as deep as the bottom of the carriage. The Yuxi River in the north of the city burst its embankment, and several nearby villages were flooded by the surging stream. There are also Yanqian Ruins and other places. , the water has not reached the thighs, and the people cannot live in peace, food, household food, and farm tools are all floating along..."

As he spoke, his face gradually darkened, and he sighed gloomily: "If it hadn't been for the heavy rain that fell too late and flooded too widely, it would have ruined this autumn's harvest, and the people would have had no time to replant, and my father would not I would like to write a letter to ask for relief from the imperial court. In Wuping County, all township eunuchs, juzi, and elders...all wrote letters to the government and the province. Many famous talents wrote a letter of request for relief and a letter of autumn grain reduction, but they did not know how to hand it over Didn't go to the patrol office."

When Mr. Xunkan heard him talking about himself, his expression remained the same, and he comforted with a smile: "This is a major matter that concerns the livelihood of thousands of people. How can Mr. Huang...don't care about it? I'm afraid he will come to Wuping soon. Inspect the situation of the disaster and report to the Holy One for mercy."

He naturally knew about the disaster in Wuping, and he also read the booklet asking for relief handed over by County Magistrate Song.Although this trip to Wuping also brought those complainants back to investigate the situation of Song County magistrate's corruption and perversion of the law, he also wanted to see the disaster situation in the county and determine how to deal with it.

Song Shi felt relieved when he got his guarantee, lowered his eyes, smiled slightly, nodded and thanked: "Then I will borrow Mr. An's good words."

But Huang Xunyin remembered something and asked him: "So many people in Wuping County have written articles asking for relief and food tax exemption. Did Song Sheren also write it? I see that Song Sheren is very eloquent, so I should do the same." I got a good article and poem, can you read a few lines for me and brother Tian to appreciate?"

Uh...he really didn't write it.

He originally wrote detailed essays for his father, but this time he asked Brother Huan Xiao to rush to write.Who are the brothers and sisters with whom? Doesn't that mean he wrote it?He was busy at the time, so he didn't bother to write another article...

Now I ask Mr. Xunyan to ask him face to face, but he can't just say that he didn't write it and it's over!He flicked his eyes slightly to the left, and quickly recalled the articles written by the people who appeared in Wangjiabieye, sorted out useful information, and said to the two: "At that time, I was busy leading the people to level the land and dig flood ditches. I didn't bother to write articles. But I was not a talented person with excellent poetry and prose. There are still a few real talented people in our county. I recorded the articles they wrote at that time on the spot, and I still remember some good sentences. Are the two seniors willing to listen?"

Master Huang himself first mentioned that he wanted to listen to his articles, but now he can't hear his own writing, it would be good to listen to other local talents, so he nodded.

Song Shiqing coughed, adjusted the pronunciation of the scenic spot introduction, and recited the good sentences transcribed that day and memorized in his heart, and introduced the author to Master Huang by the way: "...It was written by Brother Lin Lin Shengpei", "It was written by Zhao Lin Shengyue "Brother Shu", "Brother Fang Zengsheng, Simin", "Brother Zheng Fusheng Lin", "Brother Xu Chushi'an"... Among them, Huang Xunyan and Tian Shiye heard a few names. Wu Ren is familiar, he is clearly the most fierce wit who made a fuss about impeaching their father and son!

A few days ago, these people were writing articles asking the court for tax exemption and relief in front of Song Sheren, but in a blink of an eye they went to the province to sue, and they never stopped killing their father and son. Why?

Huang Xun couldn't help but grabbed Song Shi, and asked, "At that time, County Magistrate Song started to investigate Yintian?"

Song Shi looked up at him, and replied honestly: "At that time, the flood had not subsided, and there was no mention of redrawing the land boundary..."

His family and the local gentry did not interfere with each other, and he even got along with talented scholars and had a deep friendship.These people hated their father and son definitely not because they persecuted the gentry first, or because they had other disagreements.It was entirely because the land boundaries were unclear after the water receded, and they had to re-measure the fields in order to redraw the land boundaries, which offended those big families with hidden fields and households.

Huang Xunyan snorted heavily from his nose.

It's enough to pretend to be stupid and sweet up to this point, but if you act again, you will go too far.Song Shi was silent for a while, and sighed: "Mr. An has lost something, and I just talk about these irrelevant things in the county. It's really outrageous. Fortunately, the complaint room is coming soon. After we go there, we will first investigate the theft, and then I will arrange for someone to Book a first-class suite for the two gentlemen, and we will share it..."

As soon as the word "fen" came out of his mouth, Mr. Tian leaned over slightly and stopped him for the lord: "The troubles in Guixian County are more important, how can we delay for us! Anyway, this complaint room is also for complainants, so it's better to give up others first." Find two houses for us to live in, and then give up and do the work of giving up others, we settle down and wait slowly!"

Song Shi was surprised and said: "How good is that? The complaint room is for the poor villagers, and the house is narrow..."

Master Tian smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of others' jokes. When I came here, I listened to the "Legend of the White-haired Fairy" sung by a young lady there. Now I'm still haunted by it. I look forward to seeing her again and listening to her song. There are With a beautiful woman by your side, no matter how narrow the place is, it’s comfortable to live in.”

The corners of Song Shi's mouth curled up slightly, and he suppressed himself into a helpless and accommodating smile: "The two gentlemen are indeed talented people from the Dazhou Prefecture. one time……

"I am also worried that the theft you two encountered is related to the Wang family. Now that you are here in my car, I am afraid that the thieves will see you and implicate you. Therefore, after the officers and folks here have checked the personnel in the complaint room Before that, the two gentlemen had better stay with me first."

I can't ask for it!

Master Huang's gaze turned, and he and Mr. Tian exchanged glances: Although their car was messed up by themselves and was not stolen, Song Sheren's way of caring and messing up was just in line with their wishes!
