Chapter 16 Fighting(1/2)
After Xu Jingzong ate Mapo tofu, he kept thinking about it when he came back, so he sent someone to buy it.
Liao Quan said in surprise: "Why don't you let Jia Ping'an buy it? I think he won't refuse."
At this moment, the official is an official, and he is born with class differences from the people, so Liao Quan’s idea is everyone’s consensus.
If you ask a minor official to go to Yangjiawu, then Jia Ping'an wouldn't be able to take out the best white jade tofu?
Of course, Xu Jingzong wanted to do this, but he was worried that taking tofu directly from Jia Ping'an would cause some unpredictable changes, such as the curse from the broom star.
You should say that Lao Xu had thought that Jia Ping'an was his lucky star, but the lucky star was a lucky star, which does not mean that Lao Xu dared to be too close to Jia Ping'an.
Buy it from the merchants, and then if there is any curse, he will go to the merchants. Lao Xu feels that he will definitely be safe.
But I can't say that. Xu Jingzong said with a righteous look on his face: "I am the governor. If I ask for white jade tofu, then Jia Ping'an will be in a panic and dare not collect money. But it is not easy for the people! Buying from a merchant is to pay the money in one hand and deliver the goods in the other hand, without harming people's livelihood."
Liao Quan felt that Lao Xu's image became taller and taller, and he couldn't help but praise: "The envoy is charitable. The people of Huazhou have envoys as their parents, which is indeed a blessing."
Parents and parents are referring to local officials. So Liao Quan said that parents can live well.
Xu Jingzong felt secretly happy, but said modestly: "I don't have so many ideas, I only have one, so I won't disturb the people."
Liao Quan bowed and said solemnly: "Don't disturb the people, let the people rest. This is a rule of inaction! Those people said that the envoy only knows how to write articles, poems, and those who are not aware of it, they think it's a big mistake!"
He said with great enthusiasm: "The governing method of the envoy made the subordinates admire him. The subordinates are willing to follow the envoy and serve the Tang Dynasty."
Well!
Is this a complete dog licking? No, is it a complete admirer?
Xu Jingzong just praised himself, but in fact he could not do anything to govern inaction, but was just lazy. But Liao Quan felt that this was the supreme Tao, and he would be a wise minister after learning it.
Look at the respect in his eyes, it’s real!
Xu Jingzong only felt that his body was floating, thinking that Lao Xu's reputation in Chang'an City was inauspicious, but he had gained a worshiper here, which was a blessing.
Then someone went to buy a few pieces of tofu. Xu Jingzong wanted to eat it, but received an urgent report that something big happened below and two villages fought and were about to kill people.
This is a big deal. Once it fermentes, the local officials will be held accountable, so Xu Jingzong quickly took people to deal with it.
By the time he arrived, the people from the two villages had been separated, but blood could be seen on the ground.
At this time, the Tang Dynasty had a strong custom. Those people felt that farming had no future and were willing to join the army to strive for merit. This was the strong custom of the early days of the founding of the country, but it was easy to cause conflicts among the people.
Zheng County Magistrate Zhao Cong did not sleep all night, and the boss of the eyebrows said, "The officials are not dealing with it properly, so I have to worry about the envoy."
He was kind, but he was a little alienated.
He had some relationship with the people of the Shandong gentry, so he naturally had no good feelings for Lao Xu, a rival of the aristocratic family. In addition, Lao Xu's reputation as a treacherous minister... Especially a few days ago, someone came to Chang'an City and told him that Lao Xu's words that he openly expressed his loyalty to the prince outside the palace gate, Zhao Cong looked down on Xu Jingzong, the superior official even more.
These days, the focus is on character. The emperor is an emperor, but the emperor is just a nonsense. When I was studying the clan, did the Li family, the elder of the royal family, have to lean back?
It can be seen that in the eyes of the people in the world, those aristocratic families are the most powerful, and the emperor can only stand behind.
Therefore, the officials' attitude towards the emperor was very subtle. On the one hand, the emperor's honor must maintain respect, and on the other hand, they think that's the case.
So flattery is undesirable. Everyone should straighten their backs. This is the famous minister.
Xu Jingzong looked at the villagers on both sides and said in a deep voice: "Tell me."
Zhao Cong said: "The one on the left is Wanglin Village, and the one on the right is Xiapu Village. The two sides fought for the fields last night..."
Xu Jingzong frowned, "Has the fields been divided? What are you fighting for?"
The Tang Dynasty currently implemented the equal-field system. When the people became adults, the government would grant land instead of seeking land by themselves.
Zhao Cong became more and more disdainful, "Huazhou is a small land!"
This stick, if you come to Huazhou, don’t you know that there is not much land in Huazhou?
"There is less land?" Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "Then let them know clearly. Whose land is, and what is clear."
Zhao Cong glanced at him, "Eunuch, this kind of dispute is all about the right people, and the right people are justified, and it is hard to tell."
It is true that it is said that it is difficult for honest officials to make a decision on family affairs. This sentence is not wrong for such disputes. Local governments cannot explain the truth to these people at all.
Xu Jingzong walked slowly over, stood in the middle, and said, "I am Xu Jingzong!"
Hundreds of villagers on both sides were restless and then became quiet.
This is a good omen. Xu Jingzong said with satisfaction: "Everyone is more at ease. Let the local area re-check the fields in the two villages. I hereby guarantee that it is not biased. If it is wrong..."
He pointed at Zhao Cong and said, "If you are wrong, I will make him regret it!"
This promise is good for the people, but Zhao Cong is responsible. Once something goes wrong, Lao Xu only needs to use him to quell the public's anger.
But isn't this just passing the blame?
Lao Xu flew over from the sky, and just hit Zhao Cong's head.
Zhao Cong's face was slightly pale. Just as he was about to speak, Old Xu was already on the horse. "There are a lot of things in the state. I will go back first and report to you if you have any questions later."
As soon as he left, the people became restless.
"Zhao Mingfu, our Xiapu Village has five acres of land missing. What do you think of this?"
"Fuck, those five acres of land belong to our village!"
The anger of the villages on both sides rekindled, and Zhao Cong hurried over to dissuade him.
call out!
I don’t know who started throwing things, but Zhao Cong was flooded with miscellaneous items in an instant.
"Mingfu!"
The minor officials and servants were stunned and rushed to save Zhao Cong.
Xu Jingzong, who had not walked very far, looked back and saw this scene and couldn't help but feel secretly happy, thinking that I was indeed wise, so I avoided it.
But this matter needs to be resolved!
After returning to the prefecture yamen, Xu Jingzong had been thinking about this matter.
A minor official came in, "Eunuch, can you still eat the white jade tofu?"
Xu Jingzong nodded, and the clerk went to instruct the chef to make tofu.
The chef prepares to cook tofu and ginger to make some delicious dishes.
The ginger is soup cake, that is, noodles, and noodles.
He picked up the white jade tofu, sniffed it, frowned and said, "How does it taste weird?"
It was the first time that everyone saw Baiyu tofu, so they thought it was the taste.
But this is Mayday! It's already hot.
This tofu... becomes odorless. If Jia Ping'an is there, he will definitely say throw it away quickly. Of course, some people will ask, does stinky tofu also become odorous? But stinky tofu is not like this, so it doesn't work at all.
Later, the stewed food was sent over. Xu Jingzong ate it, probably because he had the talent to eat stinky tofu, and praised: "This taste is interesting, I can't say... It's completely different from that Mapo tofu. It's interesting and interesting, and I admire the chef."
When he slept until midnight, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach and went to the toilet.
Pull it!
This made Xu Jingzong dizzy. When he reached the third time, he felt something was wrong, so he quickly asked someone to find a doctor.
There was a night ban in the Tang Dynasty, but it was nothing for Lao Xu. The doctor came later and as soon as he was diagnosed, he said that he probably had eaten the wrong thing.
After taking the medicine, my stomach was still very uncomfortable, but what was even more uncomfortable was my feeling of weakness.
"Empress!"
Before dawn, an official came and brought bad news.
"Xiapu Village and Wanglin Village are fighting again."
Damn it!
Xu Jingzong was furious and asked weakly: "Where is Zhao Cong? Is he dead woman's belly?"
This was mean, and the person who came was stunned for a moment, "Ming Mansion has gone, and the stones were hit on his forehead. He was dizzy at this moment!"
This is here to ask for help!
"What's going on now?" Xu Jingzong was so weak that he couldn't move.
"Now, when the people from the two villages were stunned by the Ming Mansion, they all went back, but they said they had to fight in the past two days, and they would not count if they were beaten to death."
"A bunch of beasts!" Xu Jingzong felt that these were troublemakers, but they would not be dealt with. Those opponents in Chang'an City would take advantage of the situation to deal with him.
What to do?
He thought, but his body was so weak.
In an instant, he thought of Jia Ping'an, that spiritual boy.
"Go, go to Yangjiawu to get the broom star, no, invite Jia Ping'an."
At this moment, he felt that he needed a think tank, and the best one was Jia Ping'an.
He leaned against him to sleep in a daze. When he was woken up, he found that it was getting dark and Jia Ping'an was outside and there was no one around him.
The power of the broom star is still invincible!
