Wang Fangsu liked peace and quiet, otherwise he would not have set up a school more than ten miles away from the city. Seeing that the incident was successfully resolved, he sat for a while, drank a few drinks with Song Daling and other squires, then apologized and left the table.
Song Daling was feeling aggrieved, and naturally he couldn't sit still for long, so he excused himself to send Mr. Wang to the dock and left the wine shop.[]
People in the county all went to the wine shop, which made the road a lot quieter. Because Wang Fang came on foot, Song Daling did not ride in a sedan chair, but ordered the bearers to carry the sedan behind.
After leaving the crowd, Song Daling didn't need to act anymore. He looked at Wang Fang with complicated eyes and said: "Old sir, he was taken advantage of by the unruly people."
"Well..." Wang Fang smiled lightly and said, "Maybe."
Seeing the punch hit the cotton, Song Daling sighed and said: "In fact, today's incident was all planned by Li Jian. Unexpectedly, the whole county responded, forcing the government to be extremely passive. Alas... before he took office,
I heard that Meizhou people are 'difficult to treat', and now it seems that they are indeed well-deserved."
"Haha, talking about 'difficult to cure'." Wang Fang twisted his beard and shook his head, and asked slowly: "I would like to ask the commander, what kind of people are 'easy to cure'?"
"The kind of 'the people are pure and honest' mentioned in the Tao Te Ching should be easy to cure." Song Daling thought about it and replied.
"If you want to think of 'the people are pure and honest', has the imperial decree achieved 'the government is lacking'?" Wang Fang chuckled and said: "Besides, the world has been at peace for a period of time, culture and education have flourished in Sichuan, and people have gained knowledge through reading;
In addition, materialistic desires are rampant and people's hearts are not as old as before, and I am afraid that I will never be pure again."
"Yes." Song Daling recalled that he had indeed encountered obstacles at every turn during the six months since he took office. Why not ask this senior about how he should be a good official for the people here?
When he raised this question, Wang Fang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The purple air coming from the east in the land of Meizhou is a symbol of the prosperity of culture and education. The residents here are different from the places with backward education and are not easily bullied by the state and county officials. The gentry
Every home has a book of law, unlike other places where mastery of legal provisions is regarded as 'impure motives'. In fact, local Confucian scholars strive to abide by the law, and they also hope that state officials must not break the law in their administration." After a pause, he said
Looking at Song Daling with a half-smile but not smiling, he said: "If your parents are virtuous and just officials, when their term of office expires, the county people will hang their portraits at home, worship them, and remember them in their hearts, and they will not forget them for fifty years."
"Alas, you are right. People here are not afraid of officials and dare to fight. It is really troublesome." Song Daling smiled bitterly and said: "I don't want to be a Buddha in thousands of families in my later life. I just want to be able to spend this life in peace."
"Haha, the people of Meizhou have high self-esteem and are not easily convinced. Every time a state or county official arrives, they will put them to the test. If the state and county officials are competent and competent, they will never make trouble out of trouble, but will assist the government.
The government affairs will be handled in an orderly manner. But if the new chief is disturbing the people, arrogant, illegal and rude, the people will naturally be angry, and there will be many things that will make things difficult for him in the future." As he was talking, he arrived at the dock, and Wang Fang stood by the river and looked down at Song Daling.
One glance, which means a lot: "It is said that the people in Meizhou are difficult to treat. This is not because they are difficult to treat, but it is actually because the chief does not know how to treat them..."
"Please teach me, sir." Song Daling bowed deeply.
"Since Daling just mentioned the Tao Te Ching, he naturally knows that Lao Tzu once said: 'The sage's heart is impermanent, and he takes the hearts of the people as his heart'. This is the true meaning of being a good official. There is no other way than to 'put yourself in someone else's shoes'!" Wang Fangyu said
The voice with gold and stone said: "As long as the general thinks about it without deception before issuing an order, if he is an ordinary citizen, can he accept such a decree? If he can, just do it. If he can't, let it go. That's it.
As time goes by, why worry that the people will not treat Dali as their parents and respect him as relatives?"
"I would like to be taught..." Song Daling said respectfully: "Send off, sir..." Then he watched Wang Fang and the disciple board the boat and go down the river.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The boat was sailing on the Glass River, with a boatman punting the boat at the stern, Wang Fang standing at the bow, and Chen Ke at his side.
Wang Fang remained silent after the boat sailed, seeming to be admiring the scenery on both sides of the river.
After walking for a while, Chen Ke finally couldn't help it. He took out a celadon wine bottle from his arms, brought it to the king and said, "I know the teacher doesn't like drinking Huang Jiao, so I brought you a bottle of fine Jian Nanchun."
"Well, when drinking, it's better to be spicy enough. The fruit wine is too sweet." Wang Fang nodded, took the bottle, looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Are you satisfied now?"
"I'm satisfied, I'm satisfied." Chen Ke said with a smile on his face: "As expected, it was the veteran who took action, one against the other, so Song Daling immediately stopped chanting the curse."
"You still haven't noticed." Wang Fang pulled out the cork, took a sip of the sweet wine, and said leisurely: "You can be said to have successfully built momentum today. Even if I'm not here, Song Daling can't get angry in public, but settling accounts after autumn is inevitable.
... As the old saying goes, 'The magistrate who destroys the family is the magistrate who destroys the family'. Now that you have passed the test, what will you do in the future?"
Wang Fang originally thought that this precocious child would say, 'Let's talk about it later', or 'The soldiers will come to cover up the water and the earth will cover it up'. Unexpectedly, Chen Ke raised his eyebrows and said with determination: "There can be no more 'future'!
"
"Oh?" Wang Fang narrowed his eyes and said, "How do you say this?"
"Teacher, how much effect do you think your hard words will have on him today?" Chen Ke asked.
"It has no effect." Wang Fang shook his head and said somewhat solemnly: "Song Daling was born in Jiang Qing's family. It is really difficult for them to put themselves in the people's shoes..."
Although aristocratic families have withdrawn from the political stage since the Tang Dynasty, it takes a long, long time for anything to decline and die. At least for now, there are still many aristocratic families that have been passed down for a long time and still have strong influence and status.
Transcendent. Called 'Jiang Qing'.
Jiang Qing's family does not intermarry with ordinary families. As long as the other party is not Jiang Qing's class, no matter how rich and powerful they are, they will not be accommodating. Children who grow up in such a family are born with a superior mentality. How can we expect them to do so?
, to understand the hearts of the common people?
"Now is the era of common people. If these Jiang Qings, who think they are noble, are not officials, they will treat the common people as stupid dogs, but that is their freedom." Chen Ke said angrily: "But if you become an official and still look at it like this,
It can only bring disaster to the people!" He touched his fists and said decisively: "For such an official, it's better to ask him to go home and be noble!"
"Oh..." Wang Fang was very interested. This boy didn't want to defend, but focused on attacking - a weak scholar who wanted to unseat the leader of a county!
"Interesting, interesting..." Wang Fang raised his neck and took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth and said, "What's your clever trick?"
"I heard that Tian Kuang, the governor of Yizhou and the transshipment envoy of Yizhou Road, reiterated several times that he wants officials in all states and counties to be friendly to the people, to be lenient in administration and to love the people, and to strictly prohibit disturbing and bullying the people!" Chen Ke had already calculated: "If Mr. Tian knew about it, he would
Under the rule of the Song Dynasty, Song Daling bullied his subordinates and concealed his superiors, which not only ruined the reputation of the court, but also put the people on the road to death. If he committed a crime against the wind, I wonder if he would sit idly by and ignore it?" But he was not sure, the Song Dynasty
Will it be as serious as in later generations if officials protect each other?
"I know something about Governor Tian." Wang Fang said slowly: "If there is conclusive evidence, he will investigate it thoroughly..." After a pause, he looked at Chen Ke jokingly and said: "But your hand
Is there any evidence in it? Besides, they have already announced the purchase amount truthfully, so if you are justified, it becomes unreasonable."
"Oh, sir, it's so unkind to say this..." Chen Ke said depressedly: "If you hadn't stopped me, I would have given him these hundred barrels of wine, even if he still refused to give me the official document, I wouldn't be afraid.
There are thousands of villagers testifying, so I don’t believe him and I can’t win! What’s good now, if I do this and there is no evidence, what can I do?”
"You kid..." Wang Fang smiled and shook his head, shaking the wine bottle in his hand and said: "Since you feel wronged, why do you still do as I say?"
"Because if you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences." Chen Ke said gloomily.
"Oh...hahahaha..." Wang Fang was amused by Chen Ke's words and said: "Anyway, this is the truth for you as a young man." After laughing for a while, he straightened up and said: "I won't do any harm.
Yours. There are three reasons why I told you to stop. First, ordinary people are not as generous as you. I think Li Jian is still timid in protecting his wine shop. Now that the wine shop has been saved, let him go again.
Sue the officer, don’t even think about it.”
"Secondly, if he doesn't go, you will have to step forward on your own. Regardless of winning or losing, you will become famous in Yizhou's official circles. It is not a good reputation for people to sue officials. No one will choose a scholar who is 'lower than superior'.
You will never get out of Sichuan in your life." Mr. Wang said meaningfully: "In the end, even if you defeat Magistrate Song, you will still offend the Song family. Such a big Jiangqing family wants to make your family worse than life and death.
It’s not a difficult thing.”
"So, kid, don't think that I am an old turtle who specializes in teaching shrinking turtles. I am not asking you to compromise to the end." In an instant, the old gentleman showed his majestic appearance and said with a thunderous voice: "But I want you to learn how to
Don't act rashly before you are sure to win the overall situation. If you move, you will win, otherwise you won't move, do you understand!!" He almost yelled the last few words.
"Students understand!" Chen Ke bent over to accept the teaching, but he was much more sincere than Song Daling.
"Hahaha..." Wang Fang drank all the wine in the bottle, and Fang chuckled softly: "However, although you can't touch him, I can expel him easily, and without causing karma."
"Really?" Chen Ke said in surprise: "Hurry up and tell me!"
"If you want me to help, you have to pass the Kui Yuan exam first." Wang Fang smiled so hard that his beard straightened up and said, "After you pass the exam, I will keep my promise." Seeing Chen Ke rolling his eyes, he sneered: "Why, are you still afraid?
Can I default on my debt?"
"Students don't dare..." Chen Ke quickly laughed and said, "Students just don't understand that there is any necessary connection between my achievements and the happiness of the people of Hexian County?"
"Yes, because you have to beg me..." After Wang Fang finished speaking, Chen Ke, who was dumbfounded, started singing loudly to the river.

Later, because he felt humiliated, Bi Daguan left the county government and lived in a brothel. After hearing that the selling price of Huangjiao wine had been raised by wine merchants to five times the original price, Bi Daguan
People are so depressed that they vomit blood.
That night, Bi Daguan, who was very drunk, was helped by Sister Yao to go to bed and fell asleep soundly. His entourage was also outside, and they went to have their own fun.
At the fourth watch, the window where he slept was opened, and several young men with pot black paint on their faces climbed in. They first gagged and tied up the kiln girl. Then they killed Bi Daguan, who was sleeping like a dead pig.
, rolled it up in a quilt and carried it out quietly... Before leaving, he also took the kiln sister's underwear with him, which was really perverted.
At three o'clock in the morning, Bi Daguan's entourage discovered that their master was missing. When they asked the kiln sister, they found out that a kidnapping had taken place. They were so frightened that they ran to the county government office to ask for help from their cousin.
Song Daling led people to search all over Qingshen County, and finally found Bi Daguan, who was naked, huddled with fat pigs, sleeping soundly and sweetly in the Hou family pig farm outside the city...
