Chapter six hundred and thirty fourth: chance encounter
Chapter 634: Encountering
Neither Li Wen nor Li Gan had been to Chong County. Once he passed the military camp, Li Qing seemed to have become the guide of the two. Along the way, Li Qing enthusiastically guided the two of them on the road, and talked about the struggle history of his struggle in Chong County. At that time, more than a thousand defeated generals of Li Qing entered Chong County, and the situation was extremely desolate. At that time, everyone probably wouldn't have imagined that in five or six years, Li Qing started his career in Chong County and conquered this huge country.
As Li Qing's long-lasting place, Chongxian has naturally received unanimous care from Dingzhou. In terms of policies and resources, all of them have been tilted towards this place, making Chongxian, an originally remote county seat, now a pearl under Dingzhou. In addition, Chongxian itself has mineral deposits such as coal, and the *** Military Academy, etc., to drive the local economy. The people here can be said to have turned into sparrows into phoenixes, and they all have become proud.
The people of Chongxian were not only rich, but also as long as they went out, they said they were from Chongxian, but the other people's vision changed. Chongxian had made great contributions to the rise of Li Qing, and countless soldiers were killed and injured. Now, the first Chongxian children who joined Li Qing's army, as long as they survived, have basically become officers. From generals like Jiang Heiniu, who were in charge of thousands of people, to the grassroots lieutenant, they were all over the army. The families of Chongxian people were almost all military families, either active or martyrs.
Chongxian is now the most desirable place for civil servants in Dingzhou. Whenever you are transferred to Chongxian to be an official, it basically means that you will be promoted. To this day, Chongxian has three county magistrates, Xu Yunfeng, Jie Wei, and Long Xiaotian. The three of them are now the magistrates, Xu Yunfeng, Fuzhou, Jie Wei, and Bingzhou, and Long Xiaotian, and there are no risks in being an official here. You need money and people, and the only thing you need to do is to work diligently and work diligently. Of course, if you want to be a corrupt official here, there is no soil for your development. Maybe there is a general in the family of a seemingly inconspicuous farmer. He can listen to you directly and sue you casually, so you can't afford to take it.
Therefore, on the land of Chongxian, the officials have truly served the people and become public servants of the people. They are tired, but they are tired and willing to do things well. If they do things well, they will not worry about not knowing it. Maybe the family will go to Dingzhou to see the relatives and say that our county magistrate is really good now, and it will be heard from the commander of the commander the next day.
So after Li Qing entered Chongxian, he saw and heard all the way, and he could be said to be a peaceful and prosperous scene of not closing his doors at night and not picking up his leftovers on the road. This surprised Li Wen and Li Gan, who had just entered Chongxian. You must know that most of the places under Dingzhou are still in ruins and are working hard to build and restore. Like the whole province where Li Wen has been to, most of the people still live in thatched huts and rely on government relief to survive this spring famine! Long Xiaotian's prefect is busy all day long like his three grandsons. It would be good to stay in the government office one day in ten days. The daily official documents are sent to him by his subordinates. It was not until the end of the spring plowing that Long Xiaotian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his whole body was thinner. His dark and thin face made his old man Long Sihai cry.
As the journey along Chongxian, all the blue brick houses and yards that have entered and exited. In Li Wen's opinion, even in the economically developed Yizhou, those who can have such a house could be considered as gentry landlords and merchants and wealthy people.
"When we just gained a foothold in Chongxian, Chongxian, which was destroyed by barbarians, was deserted. After walking dozens of miles, we couldn't see a family!" Li Qing sighed: "In order to increase Dingkou, we tried every possible way to cheat and cheat. We used up all the methods. Times have changed, and it is difficult to get a household in Chongxian. Last time, the current magistrate of Chongxian County, You Xuzhi, specially submitted a memorial, saying that there are too many people moving to Chongxian, which has made Chongxian unbearable for land use. Therefore, we are preparing to adopt a review system. Only those who pass the review are qualified to become citizens of Chongxian County!" Speaking of this, Li Qing smiled. You Xuzhi was also quite interesting. The method he came up with was just like those of developed countries in his previous life. You can come to me, how much money can you bring! This person is talented, and Li Qing thought in his mind that he could actually come up with this kind of tune.
"Chongxian is a place where the generals of the generals rise. Of course, the people want to move to Chongxian to compete with the generals of the generals' blessings!" Li Wen said with a smile.
"What a blessing!" Li Qing shook his head and said, "Li Wen, I have come to this point today. I don't know how many soldiers I have sacrificed. The so-called success of a general has been undone. We should not forget this principle. Therefore, no matter when, we should treat our people well. The people's hearts are like water, and they can carry boats or overturn them. Look at the hundreds of lives in Chongxian. For my birth and death, the only male in the family also took up weapons and went to the battlefield. In the end, even cigarettes were cut off. A hundred years later, there was no one to burn incense and paper. Now, we have worked hard to farm, do business, pay taxes, provide for our food, clothing, housing and transportation, and provide for our hundreds of thousands of troops. People, that is the most respectable and lovely person!"
"What the Grand Marshal taught is that Li Wen must always remember it!" Li Wen said.
The three of them were talking and laughing, while moving forward slowly. Not long after the spring plowing, some of the fields on both sides of the road had just sown seeds, and some of them had just sprouted a little sprout, and a slight smell of earth rippling in the air.
"There is not enough rain this spring!" Li Qing frowned slightly, "The so-called spring rain is as expensive as oil. I don't know when a rain will penetrate the ground and moisten the seeds well!"
Li Gan said: "Master, the snow was very heavy last year, so the fields didn't seem to be doing anything. Besides, the weather has been cloudy these days, and maybe it will rain at any time!"
"That's great!" Li Qing smiled. "If I could have a spring rain when I returned to Chong County this time, it would be great. This is my blessed place!"
"The Grand Marshal said it would rain if it rained!" Li Gan said with a smile.
Li Qing laughed, "You guy can't flatter you. It's God's business to rain. In God's eyes, I, Li Qing, are like an ant-like figure, and you dare to say it will rain if it rains!"
"Master, Dazi, I dare not flatter you. Dazi doesn't like flattery either. I'm afraid I accidentally slapped the horse's hooves. I'm telling the truth. The Master will be the one who will sit in that seat in the future. Those who can sit in that seat will be reincarnated by a true dragon. Of course, if there is rain, there will be rain!" The three of them present were all from the Li clan, and Li Dan had no scruples when he spoke. Li wanted to seize the position of Emperor of Chu. Now every Li child is eager to take the heart of the Li clan!
Li Qing laughed, but did not refute. Is it better to have a king or general? However, Li Qing did not believe that the king's power was granted by heaven. The king's power was shot with a gun. Whoever has the biggest fist will naturally sit in that seat.
As he was talking, the wind suddenly blew. Li Wen was extremely experienced. He walked in the wind for a while, but a strange look appeared on his face. He looked at Li Qing and said, "Master, you just said it was going to rain. Maybe it was going to rain now!"
"Ah, it's not such a coincidence, right?" Li Qing said.
Li Wen sniffed in the wind, "It's really going to rain! The handsome man!"
Li Gan cheered: "Master, Grandmaster, let me say that you are the reincarnation of a real dragon. If it is raining, it will rain! Isn't this coming!"
Li Qing shrugged. It was just a coincidence, but he was too lazy to say anything. Anyway, they believed this kind of thing better! "I'm worried that what should we do if it rains for a while? Have you two brought rain gear?"
Li Qing was stunned by the questioning of both of them. They were both military generals and were used to facing the wind and rain. If you want to get these things when you go out?
"It's broken, Grandmaster, here is still far away from Chong County, what should I do?" Li Wendao.
"What should I do? Try to find a place to shelter before the rain falls!" Li Qing said, "Striving to find a place to shelter before the rain falls!" He laughed and knocked on the horse's belly, raised his four hooves and rushed out like arrows.
No matter how fast the war horses ran, they did not come as fast as the rain came. Before the three of them ran two miles, the rain started to fall, and the heavier the heavier. In a moment, the three of them became chickens.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing simply slowed down his horse. The rain was too heavy. If a horse was running accidentally fell off, it would be embarrassing. Anyway, it was already wet, so let him drip and take a shower! Seeing that Li Qing was actually walking in the rain, Li Wen and Li Gan could only accompany Li Qing and become an chariot.
"Master, look, there is a pavilion in front of you. We can go there to shelter from the rain first!" Li Gan suddenly shouted.
The three of them rushed forward. Sure enough, not far ahead, an octagonal pavilion stood on the side of the road. The three of them turned over and got off the horse, threw the horse outside, and strode towards the pavilion. The three horses were all well-trained war horses, quite spiritual, so they didn't have to worry about them running away.
The three of them had just walked into the pavilion and looked up, and they couldn't help but be stunned. There was already a person in the pavilion, and like them, they also became a chicken. However, unlike them, this was a woman. Seeing three big men entering the pavilion, the woman was obviously a little scared and shrank to a corner.
The three of them didn't care and walked into the pavilion to sit down. Wiping the water marks on their faces, Li Gan even took off his shirt and squeezed water hard in the pavilion. The eight muscles in his chest and abdomen were fully revealed. It didn't matter if Li Gan took off his clothes, but the knife hidden close to his body was exposed. The woman at the corner of the pavilion was obviously even more frightened. She suddenly stood up, strode and walked outside.
"This girl!" Li Qing, who had just wiped the water marks on his face, couldn't help but shout when he saw that the woman was about to rush out in the rain.
The woman paused, obviously very scared, "What's the matter with this master?" The woman lowered her head, her voice trembling.
Li Qing said: "Why do you rush for such heavy rain? Don't worry, we are all good people, visitors to Chongxian. You can stay here with confidence and wait until the rain stops before rushing!"
At this time, Li Wen also realized that the three big men stayed with a woman, which really scared the woman. Seeing that Li Gan was still squeezing her clothes with her bare arms, she couldn't help but scolded: "Li Gan, put on her clothes, she looks like she doesn't look like she doesn't see the eldest... Is the young master still wearing wet clothes?"
