"Sir, why are you out here? There are still many government affairs waiting for you to handle!"
Jiang Tuo Zhengyi said solemnly: "Ah, I heard that there are jackals in the countryside. You also know that this jackal is ferocious. It will be bad if it hurts the people. Even if it doesn't hurt the people, it will be bad if it hurts the flowers and plants. "
"And I plan to take the soldiers out of the city to hunt wolves regardless of personal safety.
Lu Qing sighed: "My lord, we can just leave this wolf hunting matter to my subordinates. Why do you have to go there yourself?"
"No, no, no, what if I get hurt? So I'll do it."
Lu Qing said speechlessly: "Sir, don't you just want to go out for a walk?"
Hearing this, Jiang Tuo's eyes widened and he said, "How can you accuse someone of innocence out of thin air?"
"What's wrong with someone's innocence? Not only did you bring enough bows and arrows, but you also brought a barbecue grill and condiments... You are obviously going for fun."
Jiang Tuo blushed and argued loudly: "If you kill a wolf and don't eat the wolf meat, wouldn't it be a waste? What do you know? Can the official's business be called entertainment? That's called inspection. Do you understand inspection?"
Lu Qing sighed, shook his head and said, "Sir, are you starting to have fun now that you are rich? Have you forgotten the people of Qingshui County?"
Jiang Tuo waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Oh, just leave this kind of matter to Chu Liang... He is the county magistrate of our Qingshui County. He is energetic and handles government affairs quickly."
"He is over sixty years old..." In this period when the average life expectancy is forty years, one can call himself an old man at the age of thirty-six, and one who is over sixty is considered a long-lived old man.
"Jiang Ziya can still conquer the world when he is over sixty, and Lian Po can still fight on the battlefield when he is over seventy. Is being over fifty a thing?"
"What if he doesn't want to do it?"
"He dares?!" Jiang Tuo glared, rolled up his sleeves and cursed: "As the county magistrate, he should handle government affairs. Don't think that because he is old, I won't dare to beat him. If he dares to neglect government affairs or mislead Zheng, I still have the ability to beat him up!"
Jiang Tuo ignored Lu Qing's advice and walked forward with his bow and arrow. As soon as he went out, he saw Chu Liang standing on the steps with an expressionless face.
"Oh, Chu County Cheng, what kind of wind brings you here?"
Jiang Tuo immediately put on a smile, took Chu Liang's hand, and said kindly.
Chu Liang's face twitched and he sighed: "Just now when the master said to beat me, I happened to be here."
Hearing this, Jiang Tuo felt a little embarrassed and asked, "What's the matter with you coming?"
"My lord..."
"Hey, I'm here, not dead yet!"
"Sir, can you handle more government affairs? In the past few years, I have been helping you handle it. Now I feel unwell. Coupled with the busy official work, I already feel that I am unable to do what I want."
Jiang Tuo's face suddenly became serious and he said loudly: "Mr. Chu, that's good. I'll assign you two doctors, no... four, to ensure that you are in good health."
Chu Liang blinked. Is this the point of what he said?
He originally taught in Qingshui County and had a long-standing reputation.
Jiang Tuo was just a little thief on the mountain at first, but this little thief became more and more powerful and gradually became a giant bandit that cannot be ignored.
Because Jiang Tuo implemented a benevolent government and did not disturb or bully the people, he even gave food to the people and led a group of thieves to help the people farm, so more and more people went to Jiang Tuo.
In the end, Jiang Tuo's power gradually surpassed that of the Qingshui County government.
Later, Jiang Tuo simply rebelled, killed the original county magistrate, and became the county magistrate of Qingshui County.
Since Qingshui County was surrounded by mountains and far away from the court, the Wei Dynasty had no time to take care of it, so there were no officers and soldiers to suppress the bandits.
However, because Qingshui County was poor, there were not many educated people in the county, so Jiang Tuo went to great lengths to invite him to come out, and even stood at the door all day and night, describing the bright future for him.
Truman Li Tuo!
It is said that we should educate the people, let the old have their own medicine, the young have their own education, and the common people have their own food.
He was moved by Jiang Tuo's sincerity, so he assisted Jiang Tuo in governing Qingshui County.
During the several years that this partnership lasted, although it could not be called an intimate relationship, it could still be considered as a close match.
The main reason is that Jiang Tuo always has a steady stream of fantastic ideas in his mind, such as printing, mulberry fattening methods, insect eradication methods...
Chu Liang, on the other hand, is mature and prudent, and is often puzzled by Jiang Tuo's advanced ideas, especially when Jiang Tuo often comes up with the idea of letting Chu Liang do it...he simply can't do it!
"Sir, this is what we need to prepare for this year's autumn harvest. The ditch you told us about last time has been dug. These are the lawsuits that need to be decided..."
Chu Liang held the memorial and waved it in front of Jiang Tuo.
Jiang Tuo waved his hand, giving full play to the advantage of not trusting people but not trusting people, and said: "No problem, I trust Mr. Chu, you can handle it yourself, just let me know afterwards."
Chu Liang suddenly felt helpless.
"Sir, you are in the prime of life..."
"You are mature and prudent, and I believe in your talent."
"No, your Excellency is a wise man, so you must read the memorial!"
The two declined each other. Chu Liang held Jiang Tuo's hand tightly, for fear that the boy would sneak away again. The two of them gave in to each other for a long time. Jiang Tuo gritted his teeth and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll deal with it in an hour."
"At least four hours!"
"two!"
"Three!"
"Two and a half..."
"It's a deal!"
After the two bargained, Jiang Tuo still had to go to the grave... no, to the court.
When they arrived at the "cemetery", they saw two rows of government officials standing still, exposing the red lacquered tables behind them. Jiang Tuo sat on the chair and asked: "How many cases are still unsolved today?"
Chu Liang flipped through the files and said, "Sir, you see, this is a case that was handled before and was reported to you yesterday."
Jiang Tuo blinked: "Really?"
"Do you remember where we were talking about?"
"Yeah, where are you talking about?"
Chu Liang said helplessly: "It's about the ownership of these chickens. Both the Wu family and the Li family said they lost three chickens. They both said they belonged to their own families, so they had to identify them through the chicken feathers."
Jiang Tuo nodded seriously and said: "Yes, yes, you have to use the chicken feathers to identify it."
Chu Liang couldn't help but said: "So, sir, where are the chicken feathers I showed you yesterday? Where did you put them?"
Jiang Tuo: "..."
"Alas..." Chu Liang couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead and sighed: "That's evidence. You won't throw it away, right? How can you solve the case? Who should give those three chickens?"
"Just throw it away. What's the big deal? How about these three chickens being counted on me and I release them, and everyone will be happy?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Liang suddenly became anxious and said loudly: "How can this be so? Government must be governed by laws, how can we rely on our own likes and dislikes? As an official, you must be fair and just, not partial."
"Why is this partiality?" Jiang Tuo asked in shock.
"Why isn't this biased? This time the chicken was thrown away by the adults, but what about the next time? Don't you just deal with it casually without investigating the case? If someone deliberately said that he lost the chicken, lost the pig, or even lost the cow Okay, do you have to pay for it too?"
Chu Liang began to talk about the great truth, that the king is more important and the country is more important. The kind people should be given an explanation and the thieves should be punished as they deserve.
Jiang Tuo was confused by what he heard and quickly stopped him: "I don't care about government affairs, it's mainly because I have more important things now."
"Really?" Chu Liang asked suspiciously.
Jiang Tuo said confidently: "Why are you lying to me? According to the report from the government officials, there have been wolves in the south of the city recently. I plan to recruit people to hunt wolves. This is also to protect the safety of the people."
Chu Liang sighed: "Your Majesty, Qingshui County cannot live without you."
"No, you are the backbone of Qingshui County. If Qingshui County loses you, it will be like losing Zhuge Liang in Shu!"
Hearing this, the corners of Chu Liang's mouth twitched.
Do you just not regard yourself as a human being?
Jiang Tuo said earnestly: "These are all major events that benefit Qingshui County. County Magistrate, you are also an old man, and you have watched our Qingshui County slowly develop. You said, if you don't handle these government affairs, what will happen to Qingshui County?" What should the people of the county do?”
"You have read poetry and books, and know the principles of serving the country and caring for the people. Since you are the county magistrate, you should work your butt off and make more contributions to the people of Qingshui County!"
Chu Liang's face trembled.
Although he also wants to use his talents...but...he can't treat himself like a donkey, right?
Chu Liang's mouth was full of bitterness, and he sighed: "It's not that I'm complaining, I just feel that it's not the behavior of a wise man to be so neglectful every day!"
"Why is hunting wild beasts in the mountains not a serious business?" Jiang Tuo shook his head and said, "Besides, you have done so many things, and I have given you the corresponding honor. You have fields, servants, and your descendants have been properly settled. "
"As for you, you are accompanied by two doctors. Just ask, which old man in Qingshui County is treated like this?"
Chu Liang sighed, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t want this honor, it’s better to ascend to heaven as soon as possible while living and suffering!
"Okay, you can go hunting if you want, but I hope you will come back soon. We have some government affairs waiting to be decided in Qingshui County, which are related to the livelihood of the people."
"I know it!"
Jiang Tuo's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly led Lu Qing out of the door.
Jiang Tuo's car was very luxurious, pulled by a four-horse carriage, with smooth contours and soft and comfortable seats.
The four horses pulling the carriage were all white.
Jiang Tuo knows how to enjoy things very much. He still remembers that when he first came to Qingshui County, he invented toilet paper in order to go to the toilet without using toilet chips.
In order to eat braised pork without any odor, someone held down the boar and kneaded it with his own hands.
In order to enjoy the view of the mountainous peaks, he improved the breast wrapping and focused on highlighting the advantages of women. It's a pity that it was not accepted by the people and had to be discarded.
And this carriage was designed by him himself.
Lu Qing was driving a carriage on the road. When the people around him saw the carriage, they all gave way because they knew in their hearts that this was Jiang Tuo's trip.
Jiang Tuo went all the way to the south of the city, rode directly on his white horse, and then got into the dense forest. When he saw the pack of wolves in the distance, his eyes suddenly lit up. He kept drawing his bow and shooting arrows, and the arrows flew out like meteors.
Logically speaking, as a soldier, he should help Jiang Tuo drive away prey from the front.
However, they didn't dare.
Because the first time, a bold government officer stepped forward to drive away the prey, but was shot by Jiang Tuo with an arrow. Fortunately, he was wearing a heart armor, otherwise he would have died in the line of duty.
Jiang Tuo shot several arrows in a row, but none of them hit.
He couldn't help but said angrily: "Lu Qing, shoot it to death!"
"Yes!" Lu Qing had no expression on his face. He opened his bow and nocked an arrow. The arrow quickly flew out and stabbed firmly into the wolf's neck. Then he twitched a few times and lay on the ground without moving.
"Ha ha!"
Jiang Tuo was overjoyed and rushed over with his men. Looking at the wolf's body, he smiled and said, "If you hadn't run away and been caught by me, I might have spared you the wolf's life. It's a pity that you met Lu Qing..."
At this moment, Lu Qing frowned and reminded: "Sir, you have crossed the line and stepped on the people's farmland!"
Jiang Tuo was stunned for a moment. He looked around and saw a large area of farmland, many of which had been trampled by his own people.
He scratched his head and wanted to leave the place, but a loud shout came from the distance: "Who are you? You trampled on people's fields for no reason and even tried to escape? Isn't it a violation of the law?"
Jiang Tuo followed the sound and saw that this man was extremely young, tall and straight, with bright eyes, showing determination and confidence.
This person was Jiang Wei. He came to Qingshui County on Zhuge Liang's order. What he saw and heard along the way made him extremely amazed. The rolling farmland, the wide and flat roads, and the people who lived and worked in peace and contentment.
He originally thought that the people here were law-abiding and peaceful, but...he saw Jiang Tuo and his party trampling on the farmland.
This is the autumn harvest season, and trampling on farmland is a major sin. How can this be done? !
Looking at his attire, he must be a playboy, that's why he is so arrogant and domineering.
So he spoke out to stop it.
Seeing that he was being stopped, Jiang Tuo shouted disdainfully: "Who do you think you are? You dare to stop me? Besides, which of your eyes saw me running away? Who said I won't pay compensation?"
Jiang Wei was not afraid and said in a cold voice: "Looking at your clothes, you can be considered a member of the noble family. Bah, it is such a disgrace to the noble family. Today I will do justice for heaven and teach you a lesson!"
Lu Qing's expression changed drastically, and he took a few steps forward to stop Jiang Wei.
But Jiang Wei was not a vegetarian. He rolled up his sleeves, rushed forward, and punched out with extremely sharp moves.
Lu Qing took half a step back, dodged the fist, and stepped forward to bully him. He punched under the ribs and tried to catch Jiang Wei with his other hand. Unexpectedly, Jiang Wei was so fast that he took two steps back and dodged, then kicked Lu Qing in front of the door.
Lu Qing changed his fist into a palm and blocked Jiang Wei's whip kick.
In a flash of lightning, the two fought for four or five rounds, with no distinction between them.
Jiang Tuo watched with great interest. The soldiers who followed wanted to step forward to help, but Jiang Tuo stopped him: "We are reasonable, how can we bully the minority with more!"
Jiang Wei heard this and sneered: "Even if you go together, what do you have to fear?"
Hearing such arrogance, Jiang Tuo suddenly became happy, clapped his hands and praised: "Haha, I didn't expect that I could meet such an awesome person in Qingshui County. Lu Qing, you are in vain for boasting about your superior martial arts. Even a young man can’t catch him!”
Lu Qing looked at Jiang Wei solemnly. Although they only fought for a moment, he already understood that this person's martial arts skills were not inferior to his.
"grown ups……"
"No need to explain." Jiang Tuo looked at Jiang Wei with interest and asked, "Hero, who are you? What's your last name?"
Jiang Wei spat and grinned: "You little dandy, do you know me, Tianshui Jiang Boyue?"
