Liu Jing's decision to replace Song Liang in farming was certainly not an impulsive decision, but a decision made after careful consideration.

On the one hand, he does feel pity for Song Liang. It is conceivable that once Song Liang's family is kicked out by his stepmother Zhang, an extremely harsh reality will be waiting for them. If one mistake is made, the family may be ruined, and the best outcome is...

Just barely surviving.

On the other hand, doing so would be of great benefit to him. This was the real reason that drove him to make this decision. Otherwise, no matter how merciful Liu Jing was, how could he do something that would harm himself and benefit others?

Not a moral saint.

Liu Jing is now in urgent need of fame as a stepping stone to becoming an official, and "working hard to support customers" is an opportunity to perfectly demonstrate his benevolence. At least his name will be heard among the nine tribes in the countryside, and even directly to the counties. He cannot help but be moved.

It doesn't matter if you have to suffer a little for this.

In fact, before that, he had already made a general plan to attract the attention of Liu Pan, the young leader of the Liu family in Longqiu, with his talents, and use his influence to enter the county government.

If Liu Jing's family belongs to the Western Mountains at dusk, Liu Pan's family can be called the rising sun in the sky. In the second year of Jianning (169 AD), Liu Pan's grandfather Liu Xiao was worshiped as Sikong by the servant of Jiuqing. He was the Liu family of Longqiu.

After Liu Jing's great-grandfather Liu Shou, he was the second three princes in the dynasty. Thanks to this, Liu Pan's father and brother both served as high-ranking officials both inside and outside their posts.

Liu Pan had been promoted to Situ a few years ago, Huang Wan from Jiangxia. During his stay in Luoyang, he witnessed Dong Zhuo's cruelty and tyranny, causing chaos in the world. In addition, his old father was old and sick, so he simply gave up his official position and returned to his hometown. He is currently serving as a minister of five sense organs in Changsha County.

The Wuguanbu is a high-ranking official in a county, second only to the meritorious officials. He is in charge of the Spring and Autumn Festival sacrifices. When the meritorious officials or other officials are vacant, he can act as an agent or act on his behalf. There is no fixed position. The status is high and there are few secular affairs.

It is a noble position, and non-celebrities and Confucians cannot hold this position.

Liu Jing wanted to serve in the Changsha County Government, but it was just a word from Liu Pan, and the prerequisite was to impress him with his talent.

Liu Jing felt that the two things might as well be done at the same time to get twice the result with half the effort.

Liu Pan would definitely not turn a blind eye to a leader of the clan who had both political integrity and talent.

"No!" Lai Ci didn't know Liu Jing's plan, so he objected: "Zhongda, Liu's Confucian scholar has been an official for generations. You are young and should be studying hard. How can you be a hoeer?

Time is wasted in the fields."

Liu Jing's eyes were clear and he smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, why not?" Shizu Guangwu was also diligent in farming when he was young. His brother Liu Boxheng often laughed at Shizu for being buried in farm work and having no ambition, just like Gaozu's second brother Liu Zhong.

No future.

What was the result? The founder of the throne was on foot, and in just over ten years, he wiped out the evil forces, cleared the sea, and rebuilt China. He is extremely virtuous!"

"I just discussed it with Wang Zhongren, and now I am encouraging myself with the glory and strength of our ancestors. Zhongda is really arrogant! It seems that he has high ambitions in his heart, but I am worrying too much."

Lai Ci had always felt that Liu Jing and her husband Liu Yuan were very similar, but now it seems that they are just similar in appearance and not at all similar on the inside.

Lai Ci sighed: "Zhongda, my sister-in-law can't help you."

Mrs. Zhang was very disgusted with the confident look on Liu Jing's face, and said sarcastically: "It's not as easy as you think. Have you ever worked in the fields or farmed? In my opinion, you can't even compare to my son Song Jin."

."

Although Liu Jing had no experience in this life, he had been accustomed to farm work since he was a child in his previous life, so he calmly gave the reason: "Mother, I don't know something. My son met a friend under Master Song. He was from Guandong and fled to Xiangyang. Liu Jing

The generous elders of Jingzhou gave them fields and cattle so that they could rest and recuperate.

During spring plowing, there was a shortage of manpower, and his son had a close personal relationship with him. He often went to help, and he was quite knowledgeable about farming.

Besides, our family has hired two tribesmen to help. I can ask them for more advice. Mother, please let me try." After saying that, Liu Jing kowtowed again.

Mrs. Zhang always felt that no matter what she said, Liu Jing had something waiting for her. She said with a gloomy face: "Zhongda, since you insist again and again, then I will follow you. But you have to know that the farming period is fleeting and cannot be tolerated.

If there is even the slightest mistake, you must persevere no matter how hard you work after taking over, and you must not give up halfway, otherwise you will miss the farming period and your whole family will starve."

Liu Jing said categorically: "Mother, I firmly believe that this situation will not happen."

Mrs. Zhang said coldly: "I hope it's as you said."

Song Liang never expected that things would turn out unexpectedly. He kept buckling and said incoherently: "Thank you, Sir, thank you so much... Thank you, mistress. Thank you, mistress. Thank you, Sir..."

Liu Jing saw that Song Liang kowtowed so hard that his forehead was turning green, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, don't kowtow anymore. Song Gu, Song Jin, help your father go back and have a rest. I will change my clothes later."

, we’ll set off right now.”

In Song Valley, Song Jin said "promise" repeatedly, helped his father up, and left with many thanks.

Without further ado, Liu Jing also said goodbye and went back to the dormitory to change clothes. When working in the fields, he naturally had to change into short clothes. He took out his brown clothes and trousers from the suitcase. After putting them on, he found a bamboo hat.

Wear it on your head and put on a pair of straw sandals.

During the Yuanhe period (AD 84-87), the governor of Jingzhou drove into the territory of Changsha and saw that all the people onlookers were naked, that is, barefoot. Now a hundred years have passed, the people of Changsha are quite aware of shoes, but they dare not say that they are completely popular. The people at the bottom

There are many people who go barefoot without wearing shoes all day, let alone work in the fields.

But Liu Jing is not an ordinary civilian after all, and it is really difficult for him to not wear shoes.

In Song Gu, the vestibule, the Song Jin brothers took the two cows out of the cattle pen, tied them with ropes, loaded them into the chariot, and were ready to set off at any time. When Liu Jing arrived, Song Gu said, "Mr. Lang, please get in the chariot."

Liu Jinglue nodded, quickly boarded the chariot, and sat side by side with Song Jin. When the two were in place, Song Gu waved his ax to drive the cattle.

Two buffaloes pulled the chariot slowly out of Liu's Wu. At this time, the rain almost stopped and became almost non-existent. Liu Jing showed a leisurely look on his face as they shuttled through the countryside.

On the way, Song Gu expressed his gratitude to Liu Jing again: "Thanks to Lang Jun this time, otherwise we would be homeless. I will make cows and horses for Lang Jun in the future to repay Lang Jun for his great kindness."

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "There's no need for that. There's just one thing. Although I have some limited experience in farming, I'm not as skilled as an old farmer. You'll have to be there to help me later."

How could Song Gu not agree? He immediately patted his chest and said, "Lang Jun, don't worry. I'll do the work of two people, and I won't let Lang Jun be tired for a moment."

Along the way, people greeted Song Gu from time to time and cast curious glances at Liu Jing. Most of these people were servants and guests of the Liu family. They had low status and did not need to be ignored. Liu Jing looked at the rice fields on both sides of the road and observed others. Farming conditions.

Some families are sowing rice seeds, while in others the rice seedlings have grown to seven or eight inches tall. In comparison, his family's progress is obviously lagging behind. The problem must be with Song Liang, who had previously If you have been sick and working hard, your progress will definitely not be as fast as others.

When they were very far away, Liu Jing saw two men in single clothes and bare feet sitting under a tree beside his field. They were clan helpers hired by his family. In terms of seniority, they were Liu Jing's clan brothers, just because The family was poor and landless, and was forced to make a living as a domestic servant, leading a very miserable life.

The two of them also spotted Liu Jing on the bullock cart and did not dare to neglect him, so they immediately stood up to greet him.

Liu Jing jumped off the bullock cart, clasped his fists and said: "Brothers, our guest Song Liang is suffering from swollen feet. He has difficulty moving and cannot work. Now that most of the plowing period has passed, time is tight and we can't waste a moment. So starting from today, I will farm on Song Liang's behalf, and I will be in trouble for the two brothers from now on."

"...?!"

The two of them stared at Liu Jing dumbfounded, unable to believe their ears.

They spent the whole day with Song Liang, who couldn't hide his swollen foot disease. The two of them had many speculations in private, but they did not expect that the result would be like this.

Master works for slave?

Don’t say you’ve seen it, you’ve never heard it!

Such a ridiculous thing had a huge impact on them.
