Liang Qu sat in the yard, drinking fish and meat porridge, and sat with a group of bricklayers and carpenters.
Listening to their conversation while drinking porridge, Liang Qu learned a lot about the changes outside.
The Qipin County Magistrate is just a small role in the governor's office, but it is a huge event for the county where he is appointed and even the surrounding places.
When the "red edict" for a new official's appointment is issued, services will be provided at the inns along the way, and the governors of various states and counties will send some silver coins in accordance with the unspoken rules of officialdom.
The first thing the county magistrate does after he takes office is to receive the seal. Accompanied by his entourage, he goes around the Yamen for a tour, which is the so-called "Douqinglong".
After "Pocketing the Green Dragon", the county magistrate should wear official uniform and kneel to the north to thank the Holy Grace.
At this time, the officers should bang the bang three times in total, and then beat the drum three times.
Immediately afterwards, the county magistrate sat facing south and formally ascended the hall, and began to set off the "three fires".
The main thing is to burn incense and worship the gods. In the City God's Temple and the Xianzhe Temple, incense must be burned, and then inspected and counted.
Since Pingyang Town was changed to Pingyang County and Chaojiang County was withdrawn, the archives and staff there have been moved to Pingyang County.
It's just that for such a large county government, it can't be said that it will be moved and built in one or two months. It is very messy.
The new county magistrate did not go through this series of procedures when he first arrived. He postponed it and issued a few notices and decrees first, and then completed the procedures after everything was clarified.
So the so-called measuring of fields is really sloppy.
Liang Qu sat here and listened to everyone's words, feeling as if he was measuring them casually, and the main purpose seemed to be to announce his arrival.
Thinking about it, let alone dividing the fields, it is not easy to just divide the fields and set taxes.
There are so many gentlemen in the county, who can agree with you to measure as you say?
If it were so easy to handle, there would be no land annexation and it would just be a matter of weighing it up every once in a while.
After breakfast, Liang Qu practiced underwater in the morning, went to the martial arts school in the afternoon to teach a few students, and then went to the academy to learn some things himself.
"What? Have a test?"
Liang Qu was surprised.
He has been here for so long and has never heard of taking an exam?
Si Hengyi smiled and said: "I have always wanted you, but you are different from other students. Master Yang arranged for you to come. I have seen your academic progress with my own eyes, so I have never given you a test. But when the new county magistrate came , you cannot avoid this exam.
According to past practice, the new county magistrate must conduct a written examination on the students in the county to understand their talents and academic strengths.
But don't worry, it won't be anything bad. It's just a process. It doesn't matter whether you do well or poorly. It's just a matter of impression at most. "
Liang Qu felt relieved and was just going through the motions, so it wouldn't be a problem.
"By the way, Mr. Si, have you heard about the recent land survey?"
Si Hengyi nodded: "I've heard people talk about building roads, racing boats, and measuring fields."
"What do you think?"
Si Hengyi pondered for a while: "It is definitely good to build roads. The people will have food to eat and the roads can be repaired, but I don't understand much about boat racing and measuring fields."
"can't read?"
"The current county magistrate is the second in the list appointed by the emperor. His knowledge is dozens of times higher than mine. Logically speaking, if you really want to measure the land, you shouldn't be so hasty. Doing it knowing that it is useless may have a deeper meaning, but I can't see it."
Si Hengyi said it more euphemistically, but in fact he also believed that it was mostly a face-saving project.
Liang Qu nodded and stopped thinking about it.
In the medical center, the doctor brought a basin of water, broke off a piece of firewood and placed it in it. He pressed his fingers on the firewood floating on the water.
"Floating veins are like floating objects in the water, just like this floating wood in the water. You can push it down if you press it lightly, but it will run away if you press it hard."
The doctor pressed the driftwood down, but the buoyancy was too great and the wood naturally ran away.
Then he dropped two more stones, which sank to the bottom of the water.
"A sinking vein is like a stone thrown into water. It sinks to the bottom. If you want to find it, you have to press into the bones and muscles to find it."
The doctor put his fingers into the water and pressed down on the two stones at the bottom.
"When there is blood loss, there will be a hollow appearance, which is a swollen vein. If the left cun is swollen, the heart controls the loss of blood. If the right cun is swollen, it means the yin injury. When the sphincter enters the left guan, the liver blood is not stored.
Each has a different treatment method. As a warrior, you should pay more attention to injuries in future battles. Even as a warrior, blood is the foundation. If you lose too much blood, you can survive for a while, but it won't last long. "
Liang Qu nodded.
He has learned about herbal medicine identification, bone setting, and bone setting. He has dealt with more than a dozen patients, and he has already begun to learn the pulse.
An hour a day doesn’t cost much, but what you learn is valuable
night.
Liang Qu went to patrol the river as usual. He packed up his things and went to the kitchen to get some prepared meat pies.
After killing the monsters, there is fish belly meat to eat. Liang Qu has no need for this, but he often encounters two beggars on the road and can give it to him.
Without Uncle Chen back then, let alone becoming famous, he might have starved to death that night.
That feeling of starvation is really uncomfortable.
Liang Quda didn't have the wish to cut off his flesh to help others, but he also didn't want to see someone waiting to die like he once did.
Now he can be called a rentier class, a few pies are just a drop in the bucket.
After taking everything with him, Liang Qu closed the door and got out of the boat.
Waiting until midnight, Liang Qu earned four more small merits, totaling seven small merits. He replaced them with nine cockscombs and picked up a booklet introducing rivers.
The booklet requires no effort and can be obtained for free. For this reason, Liang Qu still has a small amount of effort left.
A candle was lit on the bow of the boat, and the candle flame was dim. Liang Qu ate the fruit and looked at it.
There are three major rivers in Dashun, among which the Jianghuai River is the largest, and the downstream tributaries are as dense as wings, with rivers all over the place.
Interspersed between rivers is extremely fertile soil. For this reason, the entire Jianghuai region can be said to be the place with the highest population density in Dashun.
Jianghuai Zeye is a large swamp on the coast of Jianghuai River. The narrowest point across the center of the swamp is thousands of miles away.
It was the first time Liang Qu heard such an exact description, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.
This map is so big that he wouldn't be surprised if there are real dragons, let alone dragons.
No one knows the length of the entire Jianghuai River. Hebo Station only knows that it and the other two rivers originate from the Snowy Mountains.
There is the highest mountain in the world, and all the snow is produced there. The snow-capped mountains will never change for thousands of years.
When the wind and snow go south, they turn into water and enter the rivers. It is a place full of mystery and terror.
Few people go there, few people go out.
(Note: This statement is based on folklore and has no solid evidence. According to research by the Ministry of Industry, snow is formed by invisible water in the air encountering cold, and does not come from the Snowy Mountains.)
Liang Qu: ""
This Ministry of Industry is quite powerful.
Liang Qu took a quick look at it, and when he saw that it was already getting late, he put the book in his arms. After the boat docked at his own exclusive berth, he prepared to go back to sleep.
"Donor stay!"
The voice is low, dull, and extremely penetrating.
Liang Qu turned around and saw an old monk appearing out of nowhere behind him.
The old monk was extremely thin, with only bones showing. His wrinkled skin stuck to his forehead, almost tracing the outline of his bones. But he was also very tall, half a head taller than Liang Qu.
Wearing a hundred-year-old robe and holding an old alms bowl, he looked more like a beggar than a monk.
Such a strange image walking on the road at night may scare the children who are playing and crying.
Liang Qu touched his body. He didn't bring any money, and the meat pie was all gone on the way there.
"I'm sorry, Master, I don't have food or money with me. If you want, you can wait until tomorrow. I will pass by this road and bring you two vegetarian buns."
The old monk shook his head: "Donor, I don't accept alms."
Not alms?
Liang Qu raised his eyebrows and secretly became wary.
The old monk bowed and said, "Does the donor have a teacher? If not, is he willing to become a disciple of Lao Monk?"
