Chapter 43 Leaving
Originally, Ge Dan wanted to go out for a walk and take a look. After all, this was his first official in the Ming Dynasty. He had been here for four months, but he had not taken a good look at the place. However, after meeting the victims at the door, Ge Dan had never gone out. At this time, Ge Dan was in a complicated mood. He sat under the tree in the backyard of the county government, shaking the rocking chair, but his heart was as if it was boiling.
This is what the people of the Ming Dynasty wanted? They just ate their clothes in a bowl. They were grateful to themselves, but what did they do?
What was his starting point from beginning to end? Ge Dan himself didn't know. At the beginning, he thought about them in order to experience the feeling of being an official, and then to get promoted and deal with Feng Li. Maybe he thought about them at some point. Ge Dan himself didn't know. Even if he thought about it, Ge Dan knew not much. When he decided to do something for this era and do something for this country, he thought a lot, but the only thing he didn't expect was the people.
What I thought of was the history of humiliation and the weak China, but I didn’t expect these people.
"Lang!"
Qingxiu came behind Ge Dan, stretched out her hand and gently stroked Ge Dan's shoulder, her face full of worry. Her man had been sitting like this for a long time without any movement. How could Qingxiu not be worried? Now everyone who followed her is very happy, but Qingxiu could feel that her man was unhappy and seemed to be very depressed. Qingxiu didn't know why.
He reached out and grabbed Qingxiu's hand. Ge Dan did not open his eyes or looked back at Qingxiu. He just asked softly, "Qingxiu, do you hate it?"
"What do you hate?" Qing Xiu was a little stunned. He didn't understand why his husband asked this, so he had to ask carefully.
"Hate this world, hate this world!" Ge Dan continued: "If it weren't for this world, if it weren't for this world, you might not have to be sold into your wife's house. You can live with your parents and marry someone you like." At this point Ge Dan stopped talking, and he smiled bitterly and sat up and waved his hand: "Let me swear and make a living!"
No matter whether Qingxiu was sold or not, she could not marry someone she liked. In this era when her parents ordered and matchmakers, Qingxiu had no right to choose her in-laws' family.
"The people are suffering!" Ge Dan sighed, and then leaned on the rocking chair again: "Only when people eat enough and wear warm clothes, will they have the intention to think about what hate is, what love is, what righteousness is, and what life is, now they are just living."
Qingxiu didn't understand what her man was saying, but he could feel that her man's emotions seemed to be getting much better, which made her breath a sigh of relief.
The handover of the Danyang County Magistrate was not done much. Ge Dan had only been here for four months, and there was not much to hand over. Because Ge Dan was promoted, the county magistrate who took over did not act. On the seventh day after the document arrived, he arrived in Danyang County. After Ge Dan handed over everything, he handed over the official seal to the new county magistrate. After cleaning up a little, Ge Dan was ready to leave Danyang.
Four months in Danyang, Ge Dan took over a person, and this person was the headmaster Qihe, and Ge Dan was about to take him away.
There was no one in Qi He's family, and his father and mother were gone. There was a wife who had no children. This time, she even brought her with her.
Although Ge Dan wanted to leave in a low profile, this wish was still not fulfilled. As soon as the carriage left the county government, countless people rushed out from all directions. No one spoke, they just followed Ge Dan's carriage and kept walking, except for Danyang City, Sanli, Wuli, and Tenli. Looking at the more and more people behind him, Ge Dan sighed softly and said to Ge Wu who was chasing the car: "Stop!"
After getting out of the carriage, Ge Dan also stood on the pedal, so that he could stand taller, and looking at him, he came to see him off in a dark crowd. Ge Dan was in a heavy mood.
Speaking of it, I have been in Danyang for four months. Have I really said that I have improved the lives of the people in Danyang? No, has they really made their lives better? No, has they really made them richer? No, but they still feel that they are a good official. He bowed to everyone and bowed to salute. At this moment, all the people on the opposite side knelt down, and the crowd was filled with darkness.
Ge Dan looked at these people and said loudly: "I will leave after sending you thousands of miles. Everyone, go back! This official will remember Danyang and you. If I come back one day in the future, I hope the people of Danyang will still remember him."
"I am here to go, for the sake of my future, and for the sake of better officials and more people, you send me here, I will take my heart back! Live a good life and live a good life. The disaster year has passed, and good days will come."
Seeing the people leaving step by step, Ge Dan smiled on his face. His mission was too short and he was unable to do what he wanted, nor did he do what he wanted, but the next mission was different. Looking up at the sky, Ge Dan smiled in the sun, he found the goal, found the direction, and walked forward firmly from then on.
In a word, the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish leaps.
After getting on the carriage, Ge Dan laughed and said to Ge Wu who was driving the carriage: "Let's go, let's take office!"
Hezhou, the later Hexian County, later belonged to Anhui Province, and now it has Nanzhili. Hexian was named Liyang, which was named after "there is Lishui in the south of the county". Liyang was a town in Yangzhou during the Zhou Dynasty, and was Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Wu was destroyed and entered Yue, and Yue was destroyed and entered Chu. In the Warring States Period, Chu invaded east to Si Shang, and then belonged to Chu. In the first year of Qin Yingzheng, Qin annexed the princes and unified China, and divided the world into 36 counties. Chu was destroyed and Liyang County was established, which belonged to Jiujiang County.
In the seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to Fengyang Prefecture and soon it belonged to Nanjing. In the 13th year of Hongwu, it established Zhili Hezhou, which belonged to the capital and was under the jurisdiction of Hanshan County.
Hezhou only has a Hanshan County under its jurisdiction, and Gedan, the governor, has only one county magistrate. Gedan is somewhat familiar with Hexian. This place is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. It is long in the north and south, narrow in the east and west, and the terrain is tilted from northwest to southeast. The terrain in the south and along the river is relatively flat, which is an alluvial plain of the Yangtze River, with ditches and rivers crisscrossing and dense water networks.
There seems to be nothing particularly large in minerals, but Ge Dan did not come here to mine. Ge Dan came here mainly for one thing, that is, to initially implement his own governance ideas.
