Chapter 741 Jeju Specialties(1/2)
The ship arrived at Yuncheng Ferry and docked. Fifty bodyguards got off the ship and protected Lu Yi from taking the path straight to Shouzhou. Luo Xian led the Chengguan Brigade to guard the treasure ship. There was now a lot of gold and silver on the ship.
The most important thing was that, as for himself, he led the stone and headed towards Yunyun County in a swaggering manner.
What he had to wait for on this trip was Sun Shubo and Liang Shiguang. The speed of the treasure ship was much faster than that of them walking on two legs, and they had inadvertently reached the front of the troops.
Liang Shiguang and Sun Shubo were devastated. If they had known it, they would have escaped with Anhuang and wandered around the world earlier. Why did they have to be ruined and reduced to this? The most powerful and famous doctor in the world did not blindly regret the medicine. They could only follow them all the way to Jingdong like duckweeds.
road.
The two subordinate officials accompanying him had benefited from the Tianwu soldiers, and they wished they could have been drugged on the road and pushed down the mountain to death. Fortunately, the two were alert enough and escaped a lot of poisoning. After stumbling along the way, they finally reached the border of Shandong.
The two of them never dreamed that Liang Chuan fell in love at first sight ever since he saw Liang Shiguang's magical three-arrow skill. He couldn't eat well or sleep every day just thinking about how to get them to his side. How could the court not use such an outstanding talent without him?
, this time the dispatch also took a lot of effort to send them to Shouzhou. The future and fate of the two people had already been clearly arranged by Liang Chuan.
When Liang Chuan and Shi Tou got off the treasure ship, a group of people on the dock couldn't sit still. They stared at Liang Chuan with squinted small eyes, making Liang Chuan feel uncomfortable all over. These people were obviously responsible for keeping an eye on him. They couldn't follow him but didn't dare to get close.
Not long after, there were more than a dozen people following the two of them like bodyguards. Some quickly entered the city, while others continued to follow.
None of these people are shorter than a stone, and all the Shandong burly men are about the same height as Ma Xun.
He wasn't good at fighting with stones, so he looked a little worried at the unkind eyes of the large group of people behind him.
"Third brother, why are we going this way? Let the escorts go to Shouzhou by themselves?"
Liang Chuan looked around at the customs and customs of Yuncheng. This place has a lot of history. The hometown of the real Xiaoyi Heisaburo in Hubaoyi, Shandong Province is here, and Chao Gai, the king of pagodas, is also here. It can be said that this is the place where heroes come from.
In my hometown, Wu Song and others also lived in a neighboring county not far away. When they saw an injustice on the road, they roared, and strong male hormones rushed towards their faces!
Not only do men have strong male hormones in Yuncheng County, but so do chickens. As you can see on the street, there are five or six cockfighting sites, surrounded by a large group of people betting and shouting. There are also strong cattle running all over the street, and big steamed buns with cooked cakes.
One is bigger than a human face.
"We are going to Shouzhou, but it may not be safe for us to follow. We are too ostentatious along the way. There must be a lot of people staring at us. Did you see it just after we got off the boat? Some people are waiting for us, and some people are also waiting for us.
We are 'waiting' for us. Nothing happened after we entered the city. Take a look when we leave the city. Something must have happened!"
Fifty bodyguards all followed behind them, not to mention how safe they felt. Now that they were alone with Liang Chuan, their hearts immediately started to grow. As soon as the two of them passed the gate of Yuncheng County, they were stopped by someone.
.
At the head was a person wearing an animal leather belt and a vermilion provincial uniform, exuding a strong bureaucratic atmosphere. Behind him were a large group of people with similar clothing and temperament. Some were wearing scarlet and some were wearing green. Some of these people were happy when they saw Liangchuan.
There were people with angry faces, and the small city gate was packed with people.
Some good-hearted people wanted to squeeze in and watch the fun, but the god-destroying government officials in Yuncheng County's government office glared back with wolf eyes. No one dared to step forward to join in the fun. The style of these government officials was so poorly received by the local people.
It's a well-known saying. If something doesn't go your way, you'll be dragged into the yamen and come out limping at worst, or lying down in the worst case. It's useless to complain anywhere!
Liang Chuan took a closer look and saw that Hao Tong, the general judge of Jeju, was among the crowd, and there was someone tied up behind him, either the tax collector Ma Xun who had taken away Xia Song's handwriting and five of his own golden melon seeds!
A middle-aged man in a vermilion provincial uniform came up to Liang Chuan and said: "At one step, I am the talented man Liang Chuan and Brother Liang, whose name is called "Linjiang Immortal" and whose name is "Bianjing" and the word "Looking at the sea waves" resounds throughout the Song Dynasty.
Liang Chuan and Shitou both sneered and said, "You are a flatterer again." Since he didn't want to slap the smiling person in front of his face, Liang Chuan could only step forward with a smile and say, "Who is your Excellency?"
Hao Tong, who was standing behind him, stabbed three more words on his face to show his shamelessness, jumped up and stood up as if he was the master here and introduced: "Brother Liang, let me introduce you, this is Yun
Mr. Li Li, the prefect of the state, and behind him are all his colleagues from Jingdong Road. You all simply admire Brother Liang’s talent and learning, and have gathered in Yuncheng County today to see the grace of heaven and man!"
Liang Chuan said modestly: "Liang Chuan has little talent and little knowledge. How can he allow you sirs to work so hard and mobilize so many people? You deserve it, you deserve it!"
Li Li was unhappy that Hao Tong stole the limelight. He thought to himself that I am the host here, why do you become the master? He interrupted Hao Tong and said: "Brother Liang, don't take it seriously. Everyone is doing it spontaneously."
What’s waiting here is full of enthusiasm!”
When Li Li said these words, his ears turned slightly red, and there was a burst of sourness in his heart. He felt sorry for the sages he had read and sorry for the ancestors who gave birth to him. He really couldn't afford to disgrace this person. But.
Now that he's here, he's going to show off his old face. He's got a lot to be afraid of.
The faces of other people were even more sympathetic. Hao Tong's attentive actions spread throughout Jingdong Road overnight. Everyone in the entire Jingdong officialdom secretly scolded Hao Tong for eating alone. Such big news
Unexpectedly, after a while, he actually left the jurisdiction without permission and took his subordinates to Yunzhou to flatter him!
If the gift-giving thing is done behind the scenes, you can evade an unknown reason for not giving it, but if you expose it to the public, it will be life-threatening. It cannot be justified in any case if you don't give it to someone else, and it will be heard by the leaders.
Not taking the leader seriously, disrespecting the leader! Once this label is applied to a problem that can be solved by giving a gift, it becomes a stance issue that can only be settled at a high cost.
As soon as Hao Tong came to Yunzhou and Yuncheng, the local officials couldn't stay still with sores on their butts. This was an unspoken rule in the officialdom. They were chased by Hao Tong and got everything they could, so they looked forward to turning around and Liang Chuan arrived in Bianjing.
In front of Xia Song, you can say a few nice words to them. If you say they are not good, then that's fine. From now on, your little shoes will be worn!
However, Yuncheng has been seeing some restless people every day since ancient times. The officials are not all monolithic. As soon as they heard that they were going to come together to flatter Xia Song's slaves, a few of them became very upset. When they arrived at the city gate, they took a look.
, turned out to be a thief with a gold seal on his face. Several officials were furious when they heard that their immediate boss, Li Lidu, had lowered his status and worked for others, embarrassing all of them Shandong men.
Arrived at grandma’s house!
"Insult the saint!"
The sound was like a thunder on the ground, which shocked everyone. Li Li turned red at the base of his ears. It was as if he had been slapped in the face and his face turned as red as a donkey's liver. His beard flew up in anger. Others were even more angry.
His face turned pale with fright. This was obviously not to give Liang Chuan face. It was the bitch who set up the memorial arch in the first place. Who just took off his clothes and started scolding himself!
"Who! Who has insulted the saint!" Shitou shouted. His father, Zheng Zuliang, was also a scholar. Although he was a merchant, he always respected the saint Kong very much. The yin and yang in his words was clearly mocking them.
Officials in Yunzhou knew who said this when they heard the voice. Who else was Song Tao, the magistrate of Yuncheng County? This man was six feet and a half inches short, and his skin was as black as coke.
Outstanding, in the eyes of Shandong people, he is still a file, but he has a bit of arrogance. After working for several years, he could not be promoted, and he has been stuck in the position of county magistrate. There is no other reason than that his mouth offended too many people!
Li Li only thought that Shitou and Liang Chuan were on the same side. Song Tao worked under him and often argued with him. He had no intention of bringing him out today. Who knew that he, the county magistrate, would also come to join in the fun?
This time it’s better, the honeycomb was stabbed to pieces by him!
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Li Li quickly smoothed things over: "Our county magistrate has a strong accent in the northern dialect. What he said was, 'Why are you so insignificant?' Brother Liang came all the way and heard that he was on a treasure ship. Why did he say this now?
You two!"
Song Tao was still thinking of saying a few more words to express his deepest complaints. Li Li gave a look, and several chief officials of Yuncheng County quickly threw the county official into the crosshairs. Song Tao was so angry that he cursed as he walked:
"This Liang Chuan is just a house slave in front of Xia Song's family. Do you, the sons of saints, have any backbone?"
Shitou yelled angrily: "Master Li, our third brother came to Yuncheng and treated you well all the way. What do you mean? House slaves? What do you think we two brothers are? We arranged it like this in public.
Us? That black guy deserves to be called our third brother’s slave? Is he talking in human language? What’s his name? After returning to Bianjing, I will ask some good adults from the Sixth Department to check his homework!"
After staying in the Forbidden City for a long time, Shitou did know a few people from the Sixth Ministry. These people said that their power was not great, but their positions were important. They were in charge of the local people, and the annual class examinations were all in their hands.
I dare to say these words just because of you!
Everyone in Yunzhou was frantically greeting Song Tao's seventy-year-old mother. He wanted to die or go crazy, so he didn't want to go crazy at this juncture. Now, it would be better to drag them all down.
The worst one was Li Li. He originally wanted to give Liang Chuan some gifts, and he was the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door to leave a good impression on others. He was so slapped in the face that he was confused!
Well, Song Tao, don't blame me for being unjust if you are unkind! Li Li's mind changed and he didn't want to protect this thorn anymore. When there is trouble, he will ask Liang Chuan to come to Song Tao. Li Li has nothing to do with him!
"This person is Song Tao, a Jinshi in the first year of Xianping. This person has always been talented, but he is arrogant. He has never taken us and other Shangguan seriously. This time, I and all my colleagues in Yunzhou have sincerely come to discuss knowledge with Brother Liang. This time
But people don’t take Brother Liang seriously and dare to say such nonsense!”
To be honest, Liang Chuan admired this Song Tao a lot. He was not as weak as these people, but he sighed in his heart. Such people would never be welcomed in the officialdom and would only be ostracized.
You can't follow the crowd, even the officials won't want to see him!
Liang Chuan put on a straight face and said to Li Li: "Although I am not a member of the officialdom, Mr. Li, I have been following Mr. Xia for a long time. I know a little about the rules of your officialdom!"
Liang Chuan actually taught Li Lipu how to become an official in a eloquent manner, and everyone couldn't help but listen to Liang Chuan's "highest intention".
At this time, Li Li could no longer distinguish whether it was Xia Song's favor or Liang Chuan's surrogacy, so he could only listen to Liang Chuan's instructions obediently.
Liang Chuan held an on-site democratic life meeting on the street with his hands behind his back and said: "Master Xia often said: In some places, there are many temples and few monks, and everyone recites their own sutras, making it difficult to achieve unity. This private ideology is serious! Officials in small places
Thinking that the official family is far away, they are arrogant and arrogant. They are used to playing the leading role on the stage and do not want to be a supporting role. They often create problems for the superiors and make them stumbling blocks! There are also unscrupulous people who make big quarrels and small quarrels every day.
The yamen was in a state of turmoil, and it brought great harm and losses to the imperial court’s prestige in the local area!”
Everyone thought that Liang Chuan was just a clown who pretended to be powerful, holding on to Xia Song's banner to show off his power to them. He could only say some ridiculous words that were unlearned and unskilled, but as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was shocked.
Shocked!
What Liang Chuan said was very different from the usual official remarks, and his language style was even more original. From the villages and counties to Zhoulu and even Bianjing, I had never heard anyone speak in such a style before.
Although the words are straightforward but rigorous, they point directly to the problem, concisely and to the point, and immediately point out the common problems in some places, which are also the real superiors and subordinates of Yunzhou Prefecture in Yuncheng, between the prefecture and the prefecture.
Localities criticize each other and the problem lies in the disharmony between the two levels!
It would be difficult for people who have not really studied this kind of problem in depth to see what this kind of problem is in just three or five sentences. Only people who have had similar experiences in the officialdom can see this kind of problem. Laymen only know that the officialdom
How can one know that the implementation of government decrees and government affairs has been difficult since the real work started? Song Tao believes that he is justified and will be punished by the court in the future. He can change his reputation as an upright minister and a critic. But if there is such a leader, basically
This area of Yuncheng is out of control, and even if you want to do something 'serious', you can't do it!
Liang Chuan has never been a leader before, but he watches the news and comments on current affairs every day. This kind of problem is nothing new. It has become a common and difficult problem in a democratic environment. Moreover, in the civil service examination environment where eight-part essays are prevalent, it is difficult to apply for the essay examination.
What he wanted to write was such standard jargon. As soon as he blurted it out, he slightly touched on the problem of Yuncheng County, but this small move caused a big earthquake.
As soon as Liang Chuan finished speaking, his eyes only glanced slightly at the eyes of everyone. There used to be disdain, contempt and flattery in the eyes of a group of officials, but now they were all gone. The eyes of everyone became very different, less casual and casual.
Seven points more serious!
Liang Chuan was very satisfied. If you treat me like a hammer, I will hammer you hard! He turned around and continued with a dignified look in his eyes: "Some people are doing double-dealing! There is no cohesion in the team, and each member is doing his own thing.
, there are orders and prohibitions, and everyone blows his own trumpet and sings his own tune at work! On the surface, they don't offend each other, but in private they attack each other. When their own interests are endangered, they will immediately draw their swords! This kind of thing
The consequence is that small groups will be established in local areas to form cliques for selfish purposes and exclude dissidents!"
