Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Eight: Can't Generals, But Good Generals

"Mr. Lu is here?"

Chen Sanlang was stunned, but he didn't expect that the weather was cold today, and he wanted to rain. Lu Qingyuan was not staying in the county government office, but guarding the construction site, which was quite different from what he remembered. No matter what, he was a rich child from a big family and a noble scholar. Building roads is not a very important project. Normally, it is enough to send a supervisor to manage the affairs here.

The manager couldn't figure out Chen Sanlang's identity and said with a smile: "Young Master doesn't know that since my head of the family took office, I have personally done the fortifications in various places. I spent much more time outside than in the county government. People all called him "Running Outside the Land."

Hearing this nickname, Chen Sanlang burst into laughter and asked, "How can he handle matters if he doesn't sit in the county government?"

The manager replied: "We in Wuping County are in a remote and remote countryside. No major happenings happen in daily life. The biggest thing is that Director Lu takes office and leads us to mining and smelting, so he can have a meal."

Chen Sanlang nodded, thinking.

It was almost noon, and when it was time for lunch, someone came carrying buckets of food. The surface of the bucket was covered with a lid and wrapped in cotton cloth to keep it warm. When they got close, put it down and opened the iron bucket. There were either porridge, steamed buns, and some pickles, and there was no meat.

Wuping County lives hard, and it is a great treatment for eating, including porridge, water, and rice. Who dares to think about eating meat? Even during the Taiping period, ordinary families only ate meat for ten days and half a month. If you eat meat every day, only the big gentry members have the conditions.

The migrant workers who worked gathered together, but they were not crowded and fought, but arranged in an orderly manner. From this we can see that this is the result of management constraints, otherwise the scene would not have been like this.

Lu Qingyuan took office shortly after he took office, but he has shown good governance skills, which is indeed good.

Chen Sanlang asked the manager: "Manager, we have been running all the way, and we have finished eating dry food. We are feeling hungry. Can we make some porridge to warm our stomachs?"

When the manager heard this, he was stunned. He didn't think that with Chen Sanlang and the other two's outfits, he shouldn't want to eat these things, but Lu Qingyuan had rules and was not allowed to waste any food.

These days, grain is the day. Every day, the food given to the construction site is fixed, and the amount of pounds should be as high as possible. The amount assigned to the workers is basically the same. Then, if Chen Sanlang eats three, he will inevitably lose three servings, which is not easy to deal with.

The manager was thinking about how to answer, and the sound of horse hooves was heard there. When he looked back, he saw Lu Qingyuan riding a horse.

There are horses in Wuping County, but the number is not large, only about ten, of which are only three or four strong horses. The ones used to spread information, Lu Qingyuan was still an old horse, and he could not gallop very quickly. Of course, there was no urgent matter, and there was no need to gallop and rush.

Seeing him coming, the manager breathed a sigh of relief and quickly came forward.

Lu Qingyuan looked up and saw Chen Sanlang. He felt a sudden heart. He turned over and got off the horse. His movements were quite agile. He stepped up quickly and whispered: "Young Master, why are you here?"

But I didn't dare to make a statement, for fear that if the news leaked, it would cause trouble for Chen Sanlang.

Chen Sanlang is the lord of a mansion. His identity is very important and his relationship is important. His arrival in plain clothes is not consistent with common sense and is in danger.

"Is he here to inspect?"

At the first moment, Lu Qingyuan thought of this. However, he was not worried. Since he was the head of Wuping County, he has asked himself to be diligent and down-to-earth, and has not neglected his duties.

Chen Sanlang looked at him and saw that his face was much darker and his face looked quite windy and frosty. It should have been caused by running around outside for a long time. He was wearing a thick cotton jacket and looked a little bloated. He wore a cotton hat and even wrapped his ears.

This look is very different from the past impression.

I remember the first time I saw him in the capital, I was arrogant and frivolous. I couldn't hide it. The second time was in the Plum Blossom Valley, with alcohol all over, eyes were dull, and my face was blue and white, and I looked depressed. Looking at it now, I had a calm spirit and had short beards. Although I looked a little thin, my eyes were full of energy.

In life, the most important thing to pay attention to is to have a spirit. Without spirit, the whole person will be ruined, confused, or even like a walking corpse.

There is no doubt that after taking office, Lu Qingyuan found his place of use in Wuping County and regained the spirit he had lost.

In fact, Chen Sanlang appointed everyone to the county town to be in charge, which was very free and did not interfere too much. Only under such conditions can everyone give their talents.

Chen Sanlang has always been like this, regardless of inside or outside, whether it is above or below, and the same is true for Zhou, Cao Jiang and Cao Qi.

How great is the world? Even if one person has great power, even if he has great power, he cannot do everything in detail and cover it without any leakage. Therefore, he has laws to control people and is good at responsibilities. In a nutshell, he can only sum up: "You cannot command troops, but you are good at generals."

"There is no need to be surprised by Qingyuan, I'm just passing by."

When Lu Qingyuan heard this, he didn't understand why, but he was cautious and didn't ask much.

Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "I'm hungry on the way and I'm just about to get something to eat."

Lu Qingyuan hurriedly said, "Let's go back to the county government and you'll have to eat soon." He is not an old stubborn man who is not incompatible with others. Chen Sanlang came from afar. No matter what, the county will definitely have a banquet.

Chen Sanlang said calmly: "Why should you leave the distance in Qingyuan? Isn't there porridge or steamed buns here? Just have these two things."

Lu Qingyuan quickly said, "How can that work?"

Chen Sanlang ignored it, walked over to pick up the bowls and chopsticks, made a bowl of porridge, took a steamed bun, and started eating it on his own.

Awu Dakui and the other two followed suit. Ah Wu and Dakui had no airs along the way, and they were all used to it.

Lu Qingyuan saw that he had no choice but to do anything.

Of course, the construction site manager would not say anything. He was very thoughtful and understood that the other party was quite good, but he didn't expect that Chen Sanlang and the others would really have lunch here. As Lu Qingyuan said, spending some time to rush to the county government office, a meal of wine and meat is indispensable, and how good the food on the construction site would be? The porridge turned yellow, the steamed buns were black, which was quite crude.

Could it be that I am so hungry? But it doesn't look like it.

Soon, a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun was in her stomach. Chen Sanlang wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looking unsatisfied, and said, "So, Xie Qingyuan has a porridge for a meal, and I'll leave!"

"What?"

Lu Qingyuan said in surprise: "Young Master, didn't you go to the county government?"

Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "It's obvious that you are doing well in Wuping County. I still have something to do, so I won't go to the county government."

As he said that, he turned over and got the horse, and he really had to leave.

Awu Dakui and his two men quickly got on the horse and followed.

Lu Qingyuan was still there later. I really didn't expect that Chen Sanlang would just say that he would leave. He was a little dizzy for a moment and didn't know how to say it.

The manager also heard that, who else could call Master Lu a "Young Master" besides the one in the city? He couldn't help but tremble: "Oh, I was stupid just now, why didn't I help him serve porridge? I'm so stupid..."
