Ziyang County was founded during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and is located in the north of Zishui (Tuojiang River). The ancients believed that the south of the water is yin and the north of the water is yang. Because of its geographical location in the north of Zishui, it was named Ziyang.
Xu Shu, Shi Tao, and Meng Jian arrived in Chengdu together. With the talents of the three of them, they could easily become officials.
After going to the recruitment hall, Xu Shu chose to serve as the county magistrate in Ziyang County and take charge of the government. Although Ziyang County is small, with low city walls, simple and poor, Xu Shu put his roots in Ziyang County. Because this is his
His first official career was his first starting point from a commoner to an official.
After Xu Shu became the county magistrate, he made great efforts to Ziyang.
When he first took office, he did not immediately punish the bullies and scoundrels in the city. Instead, he first controlled the power of the county government and replaced the county magistrate with his own. Furthermore, Xu Shu was originally a knight-errant, and his own
His martial arts skills were outstanding and he easily controlled the military power of Ziyang County.
After he took control of the military, Ziyang entered the era of Xu Shu.
With military power in hand, Xu Shu had enough strength.
At this time, Xu Shu began to vigorously regulate the internal affairs and deal with internal troubles. All the bullies and scoundrels who disturbed the people were caught and thrown to the city tower to build the city wall. After several times of this, the atmosphere of Ziyang gradually changed, and the folk customs gradually improved, and the appearance of the city gradually improved.
A new look.
Xu Shu presided over the military administration of Ziyang, encouraged the people to produce, provided cattle for the people, and sent soldiers to help the people harvest grain, which made Ziyang's economy develop rapidly in a short period of time.
As people's lives improved, Xu Shu's prestige gradually increased in Ziyang. In fact, Xu Shu was able to change Ziyang in a short time, on the one hand because of his outstanding abilities, and on the other hand because Ziyang County is a small county.
Even if you are a bully or a scoundrel from a family who bullies others, it is not a big deal.
Since Xu Shu took office, he has supported agriculture and encouraged business, and Ziyang has prospered and developed vigorously. He himself is also honest and upright, and enforces the law impartially, winning the support of the people.
On this day, a carriage slowly entered Ziyang County.
On the shaft of the carriage, the driver was a ferocious and strong man. The man had dark skin and a ferocious face, especially his tiger eyes, which shone with a frightening light, making people fear him.
This person is none other than Dian Wei.
Next to Dian Wei, there were two warriors in black, who were also responsible for protecting Wang Can's safety.
The person sitting in the carriage is naturally Wang Can. He wears a long crown and a black cotton robe. His attire is simple, with no special attire, and no rich clothes. However, Wang Can is sitting in the carriage,
He has an intimidating demeanor, which is the majesty that Wang Can has cultivated over a long period of time since he is in a high position.
The carriage stopped in the city, and the group did not go to the county government, but rested in a restaurant in the county town.
After putting down the luggage, Wang Can asked the two black warriors to stay in the restaurant to rest, and then took Dian Wei out of the restaurant and walked into the city. The places he walked along were very prosperous, and the people's faces were filled with joy and peace.
smile.
Wang Can came to Ziyang this time just to see the situation in Ziyang.
As the two were walking on the road, Wang Can suddenly said: "Tiger, take out a bunch of copper coins and pretend to drop them on the ground."
Dian Wei raised his eyebrows, with a confused look in his eyes. He didn't understand whether Wang Can was stuck in his brain, why he suddenly took out a bunch of copper coins and dropped them on the ground. Although Dian Wei was puzzled, he still followed Wang Can's words and handed over his hands.
He reached into his belt, fumbled around for a while, and then pretended to drop a bunch of copper coins on the ground.
There are more than 100 copper coins in this string, which is more than 100 copper coins.
If you go to buy steamed buns, you can buy about fifty. If the steamed buns are cheaper, you can buy more.
For a small town like Ziyang, finding more than one hundred pennies in one go is like pie in the sky.
The copper coins fell to the ground with a clang. Wang Can and Dian Wei ignored it and continued to walk forward slowly. However, they were not very fast and neither of them looked back. For Wang Can, one hundred coins was just a small amount.
But this can test the folk customs of Ziyang?
In this way, Wang Can can have a general understanding of the situation in the city. Although it is a bit general or nitpicking, it can be regarded as a method of testing.
The two of them had just walked not far away when they heard a shout from behind: "Sir, wait a minute!"
When Wang Can heard this, he immediately stopped.
He turned around and saw a young man with shabby clothes and a sallow complexion running over quickly. Although the boy was skinny, the shabby clothes on his body were cleanly washed, his eyes were bright and clear, and there were no stains on his face.
, he held up a bunch of copper coins with both hands, handed it to Wang Can, and said: "Sir, this is the copper coin you just dropped on the ground."
Wang Can took it and said: "Little brother, looking at so many copper coins, can't you be tempted?"
This sentence is a bit reckless.
However, after hearing this, the young man just blinked his eyes, and then he chuckled and said: "I have never seen so many copper coins, so of course I am tempted. But the adults taught me that I must earn my own living and not get any ill-gotten gains. Haha.
, my task is to patrol the city every day to see who bullies the good and the good? Who is bullied but dare not speak out? Then return to the county government office and report to the adults so that the adults can handle these matters."
Wang Can heard this and asked again: "Who is it?"
The young man patted his chest and said, "Who else is there? Of course, the county magistrate, Mr. Xu."
Wang Can added: "You patrol the city every day, what reward will Master Xu give you?"
The young man chuckled and said, "Master Xu is so kind. He not only allows us to live in the county government, but also guarantees our food and accommodation. Not only that, Master Xu will also give us lectures and teach us how to read and write, and how to be a good person. Xu
Your Excellency is a great and good official. If it were not for Mr. Xu, I would have starved to death on the streets."
Wang Can heard this and admired Xu Shu's approach.
The young men in front of him must be wandering beggars. Xu Shu took them in and let them patrol the streets. This not only saved the wandering beggars, but also monitored the movements in the city. But what Wang Can was sure of was that Xu Shu used
He used his own salary to support these children, which Wang Can did not agree with very much.
Politicians should be bold and careful.
Since you want to take in these children, you don't need to use your own salary subsidies. You can allocate a special amount from the county government's expenses to collect the wandering beggars and teach them in a unified way so that they can learn a skill. This is the right thing to do.
.This is the saying goes that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.
Wang Can thought for a while and said: "Little brother, I have a letter to send to you Master Xu. Since you are familiar with Master Xu, can you help me deliver it? I don't ask you to send it in vain, I will give you two
Copper coins will be used as payment."
The young man thought for a moment, grinned and said, "Okay, deal."
Wang Can said: "Little brother, I like how cheerful I am. How about this, you follow me to the restaurant first, and after I finish writing the letter, you can send the letter to Mr. Xu, okay?"
The young man said: "Let's go!"
Wang Can took the young man to the restaurant, preparing to complete the mission of the trip. Although what Wang Can encountered was just a trivial matter, he could see Xu Shu's achievements in governance. Just by the fact that Wang Can encountered this
A young man can explain a lot of problems. He took the young man back to the restaurant, wrote the letter, sealed the letter, and then gave the letter to the young man, and asked the young man to hand the letter to Xu Shu himself.
After settling Xu Shu's matter, Wang Can took Dian Wei and left Ziyang in a carriage.
This trip has achieved its purpose.
In fact, Wang Can's original intention was to come to Ziyang first to check on Xu Shu's situation, and then go to the place where Shi Tao and Meng Jian were governing. However, although there was a gap in ability between the two men and Xu Shu, they could not govern a small place like the county seat.
, but it was enough to achieve what Cheng Yu said, "Do not pick up lost items on the road without closing the door at night", so Wang Can did not continue the inspection, but took the people back to Chengdu directly.
The carriage Wang Can was riding in drove quickly and left Ziyang County.
…
County mansion, backyard study room.
After Xu Shu finished handling the day's affairs, he read in the backyard and sorted out the internal affairs of Ziyang County. When he was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
Immediately, the young man's voice sounded: "Sir, I am Su Fu."
Su Fu is the young man Wang Can met.
His original name was Su Liu. Because he was the sixth oldest, he was called Su Liu. However, because his family was lonely, he did not have a formal name. After Xu Shu took Su Liu in, he named him Su Fu.
Xu Shu heard the voice and said, "Come in!"
After Su Fu entered the house, he bowed respectfully to Xu Shu and then said: "Sir, when I was patrolling in the city today, I suddenly encountered a young man who dropped money on the ground. I picked up the money and returned it to the young man.
, he asked me to send you a letter." As he spoke, Su Fu handed the letter on his waist to Xu Rong.
Xu Shu took the letter and asked, "What does Mr. Na look like?"
Su Fu thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "I can't remember, I have forgotten it. Well, but there is a scary strong man next to that young master, he is black and strong, very scary, my thighs are not as big as his
Those thick arms are so scary." As he spoke, Su Fu stretched out his hand and made some gestures.
Xu Shu smiled and dismissed Su Fu.
Only Xu Shu was left in the house.
He opened the envelope, and the first thing he saw was not the content of the letter, but a transfer order. It was a transfer order to recruit him to Chengdu. As for what he was going to do, he would have to meet Wang Can to know. What follows the transfer order.
Wang Can wrote a handwritten letter to Xu Shu. Xu Shu carefully read the contents of the letter, and his eyes suddenly became moist.
With this transfer order and letter sent personally by Wang Can, the suffering he had endured for more than half a year was worth it.
What an honor it is to have Wang Can deliver the letter in person.
Xu Shu took the letter and the order and was very happy. He did not announce the matter immediately, but walked to the backyard because there was another person in the backyard who should share his joy.
That person was Xu Shu's mother.
When Xu Shu was studying in Jingzhou, Xu's mother was living alone in Yingchuan.
After Xu Shu took office as the magistrate of Ziyang County, Ziyang stabilized, and then he brought Xu Shu's mother to Ziyang to enjoy the happiness of family. The ancients said that if parents are alive, they will not travel far away. If Xu Shu's mother is still alive, Xu Shu will be scolded if he travels far away.
Therefore, when Xu Shu came out of his studies and served as the magistrate of Ziyang County, he took over his old mother who had been living a hard life in Yingchuan and enjoyed the happiness of his family.
Back in the backyard, Xu Shu handed the order and letter to Xu's mother.
After seeing it, the old man was overjoyed, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes relaxed. He reached out and stroked Xu Shu's cheek, murmuring to himself: "My son has made a difference, my son has made a difference!"
Hope your child will become a dragon, that's it.
When a mother learns about her son's future, she is naturally very happy.
Mother Xu, the same is true!
