Chapter 23 Book Donation(1/2)
"Liangsheng, you said that if you are promoted to the court later, the county magistrate will ask about our village. Will you make a plan?"
The eaves outside the yamen were so tall that they were tall and big, but standing outside the court was a little nervous. When the people saw the officials, they were three points lower in their momentum.
He looked carefully at the door there: "I don't know if the people from Beicun will come, but they have the lion taking the lead."
"Uncle Pan is facing them, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
6 Liangsheng sorted out his clothes. Although it was a little worn, he looked energetic when he wore it on him. Then he touched the silver in the package.
"At worst, we can't fight. Let's give in and compensate them with the crops in the field."
6 Qing hugged her arms and shouted loudly.
"Then we have to fight for it first. The ones we planted with hard work will give them nothing to others, and they will not hurt!"
"That is, we must explain it to them first, so as not to think that it is really the water that has been cut off in our village!!" The others also ordered. As soon as the voice stopped, the man of 6 Erdan turned his face and lowered his voice: "Look, the people from Beicun are here."
Two men came from the street, one was thin, with a moustache on his lips, and the other was tall, wearing a short white coat. When he came over, he also saw nine people of 6 Liangsheng under the eaves.
He didn't speak, and stood under the eaves on the other side.
Soon, a sound rang out in the court: "Enter the church!"
The sound of more than ten wooden sticks hitting the ground was crackling, and a clanging officer came out and waved to 6 Liangsheng and others, as well as the people from Rimatsu and Kita Village there.
"Come in."
6 Liangsheng nodded to 6Peng and then walked into the court together, stood between the servants on both sides, and then, Li was bringing people from Beicun in.
No one on both sides spoke. Soon, two figures turned out of the back hall, and the official robe walked up to sit down. The other one was about fifty years old. He sat down at the small table below. He picked up the pen and ink, but looked at the 6 Liangsheng in the hall with a smile.
The boy looked at the old man, probably able to guess the other person's identity and bowed politely.
"6 villages, 6 Liangsheng met the chief clerk."
The old man behind the small table nodded with a smile and returned the greeting. He looked up and down at the young man, "What a young man."
In the hall, Li Zheng and the man from Beicun were inexplicably panicked when they saw this. If the six villages had a relationship with the chief clerk and the county magistrate, they would have lost.
The old man seemed to know them, smiled and waved his hands at the two of them.
"The county has always been dealt with impartially. If the village where this young man is located really has misconduct, he will never shelter him and be relieved."
On the position, the county magistrate looked at him and gently stroked his beard.
“It’s true.”
In fact, the so-called "confrontation" is just that the county magistrate accompanied Wang Zhuan to see the young man in front of him. The two villages have disputes such as rivers every day. If they are brought to the court, he basically doesn't have to do anything.
What's more, it is hard to say who has the upper hand and who has the lower hand. The river water flows out of the mountains. If it really needs to be solved, sending a man to the people from Li Zhenghe and the two villages to find out the truth and get it to the court. It's a bit of a big deal.
As soon as the county magistrate finished speaking, the inside of the hall was standing up and bowing: "Qi Bixian, two villages have to go up and down, and Qixia Mountain has only one river. You have to pass through 6 villages first and then return to the lower reaches. In previous years, the two villages have fought many times because of the water from irrigation of farmland. This time, I must have a grudge and cut off some of the water in the upper reaches, which makes the water level in the lower reaches less and it is difficult to store water."
The man from Beicun also nodded and echoed: "Yes, County Master, this year the crops in our village fields have not grown well, so the harvest is naturally much less. The women and children in the village are afraid they will go hungry in winter."
The county magistrate raised his hand and asked the two to stand up straight, and his eyes turned to 6 Liangsheng's side.
"What are your rebuttals?"
6 Hope that the eight people were holding their palms tightly behind them and urged in a low voice: "Liangsheng, the county master is asking you, speak quickly, don't let them take advantage of it."
In front, the boy was also organizing his language, and for a moment, he raised his hands to salute.
"Report to the county master, the river water that was walking around the two villages was originally flowing out of the mountains. If the six villages were broken, they could come to check it, but why didn't they come and just run to the county master?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li was shouting: "That's why the people in your village have always been arrogant. We are afraid of being beaten! Now we are in front of the county magistrate, and we dare to argue!"
6 Liangsheng pursed his lips, loosened his tight fingers, and he laughed.
"Is it fierce or not? Have you seen it before? There is no conflict between the two. If the people from the six villages beat you up and go to the county government to file a complaint, then we are speechless. Is this the reason? Then today we don't need to go to the court to find the county magistrate to argue about this matter, and just make the judgment."
There was a speechless questioning.
...This young man has a good handwriting and his mouth is also great.
The county magistrate actually had a contour and direction in his mind. There was no need to be too embarrassed about this kind of thing, so he reached out to the gavel.
"This county is determined..."
"County Master!"
Just as he finished speaking, 6 Liangsheng suddenly came in, stepped forward half a step, and bowed to the county magistrate and chief clerk.
"Qi reported to the county magistrate, chief clerk, Liang Sheng wants to calm down the situation."
"Oh?" This surprised the county magistrate and the old man there. Even the man in Lizheng and Beicun were stunned.
After a moment, he heard 6 Liangsheng's voice continue.
"Bei Village's harvest is not good this year. Although it is not up to my six villages, the two villages are adjacent to each other. If the women and children in the village are hungry and even die due to the harvest, they will feel unbearable. If the two villages share the burden together, although they cannot eat enough, they will not have to die, and...."
6 Liangsheng raised his head and looked at the man in Kitan Village.
"...... Moreover, the two villages have had many years of grievances, and they can become more harmonious."
6. 6. 6. 8 people also looked shocked on their faces: "Liangsheng...you..."
The man from Kitamura on the other side opened his mouth slightly, and before he could react for a while, his lips slightly opened and closed a few times, and he didn't know what to say.
I heard a sound from the hall.
The gavel fell down, and the county magistrate sat there, looking at the boy, and the old man behind the small table showed a smile of approval on his face.
"good!"
After a moment, the county magistrate turned his eyes to the man in Lizheng and Beicun: "Do you two have something to say?"
"No, no more..."
It was originally for compensation, but since the other party agreed, there was no need to fight for it. However, what the young man said made the man feel quite complicated.
Soon after the order was issued, the matter of the court was finalized. After everyone left, the county magistrate laughed and walked to the old man.
"These six good people have good character."
The old man stood up and bowed, and then called a servant to instruct: "Go and leave the young man to wait for me." Then he answered the words of the county magistrate: "It's a quick and unspoken jade, with a good hand, and a more rare mind."
"Mr. Shuhua, are you trying to accept students?"
"Not before, but now, haha!"
The two looked at each other for a moment and started to laugh.
*******
Outside the county government, 6 Hope Eight people followed the boy with some angrily.
"Liangsheng, we have all got the upper hand. Why are you pushing things out? I really can't figure it out."
"Yes, our farmland is also raised by drops of water and sweat. It is for nothing, and it really makes me feel depressed."
"…..Or, go back and tell the county master what just now doesn't count? Liangsheng, what do you think?!"
When he returned to the entrance of the yamen courtyard, he heard the uncles and uncles behind him, and Liu Liangsheng laughed and pulled them aside.
"Uncle Pan, Uncle Qing, uncles, we have 500 taels, and we can live some good life in the past two years. Although we have divided the harvest this year, you didn't see the joy on the faces of the county master and the chief clerk? If the two villages are constantly in disputes, one of the villages will be sad this winter, and the county government will definitely spend money to rescue them. At present, Liangsheng cut off the worries of the two adults in the hall. That's a love."
6 Pan frowned and thought for a while... It seemed like that was the reason.
Before they could speak, 6 Liangsheng spoke again.
"…... When Liangsheng went to the market, he heard an old man writing to others in the town saying, "If you don't have virtue, you will have a strange disaster; if you suffer good intentions and good deeds, you will have a blessing in the future." Besides, they received the grain from our six villages, and if there will be disputes in the future, will they have such a face-to-face dispute?"
Sure enough, the man from Beicun who came out of the yamen clasped his fists to Liu Liangsheng and even Liu Pan, and was obviously grateful.
6 Pan touched his beard, but he felt a little embarrassed.
"Hey, I'm a little uncomfortable with being so polite to us."
Just as he was about to leave, 6 Liangsheng was stopped by the officer who came out. When he heard that the chief clerk wanted to see him, he did not dare to entrust him, so he hurriedly followed the other party to the side courtyard.
"It's here, you can go in by yourself." The officer stopped in front of a door, reminded the boy, and left.
6 Liangsheng also asked what was going on the way, but the other party didn't know it. He took a breath and knocked on the door.
The door creaked and opened, and the old man I had seen in the hall before welcomed him in smile.
"Don't be polite, find a place to sit."
Although the county magistrate was not there, the old man in front of him was the biggest official and an elder, so he naturally would not sit opposite him and stand on the side of the desk.
"What's the matter with the chief clerk looking for Liangsheng?"
"Don't be so nervous, I'll find you to do something non-official." The old man moved the official account book in front of him, took a piece of paper, placed it in front of him, and looked at the boy.
"Is this what you wrote?"
The handwriting on it was indeed written by 6 Liangsheng that night. He withdrew his gaze and nodded: "It was indeed written by me, the chief clerk... Is there something wrong with this?"
The old man waved his hand and just smiled and took three books.
"Take these three books "Menyu", "People's" and "Ritual Music" back and take a look."
6 Liangsheng was confused and held these three books and looked at the old man.
