This year's relief food distribution in Fucheng was the most harmonious in many years.
From weighing to recording, to distributing into the hands of every citizen...
It was completed in one go, and there was not a single step where someone was stuck. Even the attitude of the cadres this year was different from previous years.
In this way, even if Li Hui, the newly appointed governor, is not in the northern capital, the people's recognition of him is quite high.
After all the distribution was completed, Shen Jue, in front of the third class of government officials, informed him of the location and time for the training tomorrow morning.
"... No matter who you are, you are not allowed to be absent, otherwise you will go home and eat for yourself. The government does not support idlers, so you must cherish the brands and clothes you wear, do you understand?"
"Understood~bai..."
The sound was sparse and had no momentum at all.
Shen Jue was so angry that he raised his voice and said again:
"Speak nicely, understand?"
"clear!"
This time it was obviously much better than before.
"Remember, you are the government officials, the support of the people in the northern city, and the scouts of the government. If you have no momentum and courage, what is the difference between you and San Sha?"
Recently, Shen Jue has been tormenting three squads of government officers like chicken blood. Everyone is miserable and dare not say a word. Now there is another drill coach, and tomorrow Yin Zheng will go to the northern defense line for drills. Just thinking about it I feel cold, let alone whether it will be better tomorrow.
They had seen Master Wen train the eldest son of the Li family, Young Master Ciao, with such ruthless energy...
At the end of this training, I have to shed my skin even if I don't die.
Wen Tian packed up all the sacks, jumped on the carriage with Li Huai in his arms, and headed out of the city to the military camp in the north. Xiao Song had already come back, and he had to go over and pass on what Li Hui had asked him to pass on.
They didn't get such heavy snow on the Mopan Mountain side. Now that it's been snowing in Fucheng in the north for three days in a row, it's probably going to be even worse on the Beiqi side.
With little arable land and insufficient food, the Beiqi people relied on hunting in the mountains or raising cattle and sheep to make a living.
With such heavy snow now, it is impossible to go hunting in the mountains. I am afraid that many cattle and sheep will be frozen to death. For a group of people who can’t fill their stomachs, rules and laws are bullshit. Not to mention Beiqi He is good at fighting and grabbing, so he has to guard against it.
After listening to the words of Li Hui brought back by Wen Tian, Xiao Song narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
This is why he came back early and gave the food from Mopan Mountain to Youyan to wait. Calculating the days, the people who were sent from the capital would still have to wait for a while. Later, he had to send a letter from Pingyang County, and he couldn't let his wife come over now. .
Scouts were sent out continuously. Although there was no movement in the Beiqi military camp, human footprints were indeed found in some nooks and crannies.
He accepted this love. He held the little guy in his arms, nodded and said:
"Don't worry, I will arrange six more teams to strengthen the inspection of the border defense line later. During this period, mutual trading is suspended, and stability is the most important thing."
Wen Tian thought the same way, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his thoughts coincided with his own.
"Since Coach Xiao has already made up his mind, I won't bother you. Tomorrow, Yin Zheng and I will meet the soldiers, and the Yamen will go to Huwei Mountain to practice. The Yamen and the soldiers will only practice during the day. The person you are preparing here is Heitian , are you ready for the white night training?"
"It's been prepared a long time ago." Xiao Song raised the corner of his mouth, took another piece of dried meat to Li Huai and said, "If you can go to Huwei Mountain to practice, I don't have to bother sending people to patrol. I'm not greedy, so I'll just follow your training." Just train them with the intensity of the camp.”
"Please rest assured, Coach Xiao, my training method is a combination of Jianghu tradition and the improvement of that vixen Li Hui. Just wait and see the results in three months."
"Okay, then I will wait. Practice batch by batch. The northern border is the northern gate of our dynasty. We must make it impregnable."
"Impregnable."
"Impregnable."
Not to be outdone, Li Huai also recited the same sentence, and the two adults smiled and shook their heads in unison.
The garrison camp here is prosperous, but the government offices in the north are gloomy and gloomy.
The first to bear the brunt were the three squads of yamen officers, all of whom had faces as bitter as melons and spoke of hardship. The second was the six-room clerk, Fan Chengfang and others. When Shen Jue came back, he had already told Wen Tian to take a holiday, and they had all read poems and books. , who can’t understand why we need a book?
"Master Shen, at my young age, I really can't stand the trouble." Fan Chengfang began to feel miserable.
Not to mention practicing with him, even if we let him walk home from the government office, he would still be wheezing and gasping for breath, which would be enough to make it home.
Shen Jue also knew that it was not easy for him, but at this time he could not be stupid and must insist on standing with Li Hui.
"Master Fan, please rest assured. I see that the literary instructor is not an incompetent person. As long as we do our best, he will not make things difficult for us. After all, you and I are imperial officials. If anything happens because of 'training', he will not It’s hard to handle, not to mention it’s hard to explain to Li Hui.”
"So don't arrange a break for me. I'll be at the government office every day. I will never leave early or come back late!" Fan Chengfang promised.
Other officials also wanted to say this, but it was not their turn at this moment.
Shen Jue looked embarrassed, scratched his hair randomly, and said:
"Master Fan, I can do this, but... during the food distribution today, someone mentioned Mrs. Li's snow clearing that day, and Instructor Wen was not happy."
"..." Fan Chengfang was completely silent.
He slowly walked back to the table, sat down, and said nothing again.
When the officials saw this, they didn't say anything and began to think about the cold clothes and shoes they needed for duty.
When the time came, everyone stood up in tacit agreement and left the Yamen without making a sound.
Shen Jue was packing her things, and Fan Chengfang finally came to his senses, stood up and walked over, saying:
"Since there is no way to avoid being lazy, just give me two days less to wait in line."
"It's natural, the official has already arranged it." Shen Jue said while handing him the newly-taken rest book.
I wrote two copies in total. I keep one here and give the other to Wen Tian later.
"Master Fan, you have taken good care of me when I come here. Now there are only two of us in the room. Let me tell you the truth. This Master Li is different from the one before. He is not here to mess around. We still have to be careful. Deal with it. Otherwise... I really don’t know what the result will be."
Fan Cheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he immediately understood that he was nodding at himself.
"Thank you, Mr. Shen, for reminding me. You are a serious Jinshi, with a bright future and ambitions. I am different from you. My brother-in-law... I will evacuate people as soon as possible. I will remember this sentiment in case you need me in the future. I will do my best wherever possible.”
Shen Jue subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing the sparkling look in his eyes, he had to compromise:
"I also ask Master Fan to feel sorry for Xiaguan and handle it as soon as possible. It must be done before Master Li comes back, otherwise Xianguan has nothing to do."
