Chapter 1342

Time flies into May.

It's getting hot in May.

Inside the wind, there is already a hot and dry atmosphere, as if it would arouse people's restlessness.

Zhang Xiu in this period of time, but almost did not stay in the city. His main business is to visit the streets and the whole city to learn about the local situation.

Zhang Xiu entrusted Pang Tong with the administration of LAN's city.

In fact, Pang Tong was also dealt with temporarily.

Zhang Xiu has already sent an order to Xun Yu in Wulei city to transfer him from the rear and let him take charge of everything in LAN's city. After all, Xun Yu is an old professional in local governance and government affairs.

Zhang Xiu is still walking in the countryside.

On this day, Zhang Xiu took Wang Yue and Shi a to a place called Mazi village. It is said that in this village, one year, all the people in the village became pockmarked, so it was named pockmarked village. But in fact, all pockmarks in the village are intact.

There are more than 30 households in the village.

It's a relatively large village.

Zhang Xiu, Wang Yue and Shi a are all dressed in coarse linen, which is very simple, so they can't see their origins. In addition, during this period of time, they have been travelling and visiting all over the world, so whether they are Zhang Xiu, Wang Yue or Shi a, their skin is much darker.

It doesn't look like a white lady.

It's like a farmer.

After all, Zhang Xiu now, has convergence of breath, not like before so breath outside, give people the feeling of majesty and hegemony. On the contrary, Zhang Xiu's face is wearing a smile, which makes people very close.

Now, when Zhang Xiu comes to Mazi village, he wants to know the local situation on the spot.

Especially now, it's almost evening.

It's getting late.

After entering, Zhang Xiu and his party knocked on the door outside a barren house at the entrance of the village.

The door ring banged on the door. Soon after, an old man in his early fifties strode out and pushed the door open. When the old man saw Zhang Xiu and his party, he said, "what can I do for you

Zhang Xiu took the initiative to say: "old man, we are the people who want to go to Lanshi city through here. Because it was getting late, there was no place to rest and no food. I'm going to stay for one night. Please make it convenient. "

Today's Zhang Xiu can speak the local language.

It's just a little awkward.

After all, if you use these words all day long, you will soon learn them. The only difference is that his Kushan dialect has its own accent, which makes it sound a bit awkward.

The old man said, "are you from the Qin Dynasty?"

"Yes

Zhang Xiu answered directly.

The old man immediately put on a smile, waved his hand and said, "three adults, please come inside!"

"Thank you very much! Father in law, you are also polite. We are not adults. We are just businessmen who go to Lanshi city to do business. "

After thanking Zhang Xiu, she took Shi a and Wang Yue into the courtyard.

It's near evening.

The old man is busy making a fire to cook. The dinner in the pot is very simple. It's noodle soup. For the elderly, such a pimple can endure hunger, and because it is a pimple soup, it is also easy to digest.

Zhang Xiu and others stayed, so the old man also took out more flour and prepared to make one for Zhang Xiu, Shi a and Wang Yue.

During this period of time, Zhang Xiu went to many places and had a set of idioms. He sat by the fire stove, talking to the old man and learning about the situation in Mazi village.

Zhang Xiu consciously changed the topic and led to Daqin. When it comes to the people of Qin Dynasty, Zhang Xiu said: "father-in-law, now the city of LAN is under the rule of the great Qin Dynasty. I heard that the emperor has ordered to abolish the nobles in the city of LAN. No thunder city without nobles, people's life is good, after all, no one dares to squeeze people. Have you ever had a better time? "

The old man picked up a stick, threw it into the stove and said slowly, "it must be much better than before. After all, the aristocrats who used to be domineering are now hanging a sharp sword on their heads and may be killed at any time. So they don't dare to bully us ordinary people openly. Compared with the original, life is naturally much better

Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Xiu was keen to catch the loopholes in the old man's words and said, "father-in-law, under normal circumstances, the nobles who commit crimes directly check the family."

"After the investigation by the government, the nobles with good reputation are allowed to pay money to atone for their sins."

"In this way, there should be some domineering nobles in the whole city. But you said that the nobles did not dare to bully you openly. Is it not the order of the emperor that does not work

Zhang Xiu raised questions.

The old man sighed: "childe, things in the world are not as simple as black or white. We old men who don't know how to manage local affairs don't understand anything. But the hearts and virtues of the people below are not so simple. "

Zhang xiudao: "how to say?"The old man explained: "as the young master mentioned just now, under normal circumstances, local nobles who have never oppressed the common people can hand over their property and forgive them, and become ordinary civilians."

"Those who commit crimes must be dealt with. But in fact, no matter good or bad, as long as we use money to get through the relationship, we can be exempted from crime. Even the amount of money paid depends on the official who performs the task. "

"So many nobles are here now. They only paid a small part of the money, they still have a lot of money in their hands, and they can hire people as thugs. "

"Nobility is still nobility. It's not worth provoking."

"If someone is offended and killed secretly, there is no proof of death. Of course, the environment is much better. "

The old man said with a smile: "of course, your majesty is kind-hearted and wants to help the people of our city. But such a thing is not so easy to deal with. "

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "my father-in-law has a point. So when I go to Lanshi city to do business, I still have to keep a low profile. If you get into trouble with some nobleman, you can eat brier and take him with you

"Don't worry," the old man said

Zhang Xiu said: "how to say?"

The old man replied: "after all, it was Daqin who conquered Lan's city. The Qin people were in our LAN's city, and these nobles did not dare to provoke them. These nobles, at most, scare us ordinary people. "

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "you have a point."

At this moment, Zhang Xiu deeply felt inadequate for the reform of LAN's city. Originally, he visited some places, and what these places showed was pretty good. But today's situation threw a basin of cold water on Zhang Xiu's head.

This is also the complexity of reform.

It is not possible to wipe out the illegal aristocracy in one day.

Local governance is not easy.

At this time, the old man's noodle soup was ready, and he served a big bowl to Zhang Xiu, Shi a and Wang Yue. The old man also swallowed it in his own mouth, which was very heroic.

Zhang Xiu as the emperor of the Qin Dynasty, in fact, rarely eat such a noodle soup. Once in a while, he felt fresh and good. He wiped his mouth and said, "father-in-law, is there a bullying nobleman in your village?"

"No!"

The old man shook his head and answered.

With a proud look on his face, he said, "in our village, there is a nobleman named timidI. Lord Timmy, he's a very good man. When the Qin army didn't enter Lan's city, he would help us in a disaster year. He will borrow food when he meets with difficulties. Now, he gives up all his wealth and lives on his own

After a pause, the old man looked sad and sighed: "this is a good man! Unfortunately, good people don't live long, and they don't come to a good end. "

"What do you say?"

Zhang Xiu eyebrows up, is very unexpected.

In front of the old man was born ordinary, so Zhang Xiu believed the old man's words.
