Chapter 54 The common people are the old man's parents
Xu Jingzong was angry, his face turned slightly red, "Even Your Majesty has nothing to do with those grinders, you let the old man speak... But if the old man can't, those people will say that the old man cheated His Majesty. It's Lingnan."
"Lingnan is good, I can eat lychees." Jia Pingan thought of Li Longji's daily life of spoiling his wife, one of which was to deliver fresh lychees from the South Express Horse to his concubine to enjoy.
Compared with this, the air transportation in later generations is far worse.
Xu Jingzong glared at him, really wanting to chop up this scumbag with a single knife, "Even if it is done, those rich and powerful will kill this old man!"
Success or failure is death!
Old Xu wants to hide his face and cry, but this is Chang'an City, he can't cry, otherwise his reputation will be lost.
Old Xu has improved.
Jia Ping'an was very pleased, "Mr. Xu, there is already a plan for this matter..."
…
A little later Jingzong went to see His Majesty, and Jia Pingan returned to Baiqi to see Shaopeng.
"Xiao Jia!" After winning glory for Baiqi with a song of red beans, Jia Pingan's status in Baiqi has improved significantly, no, even the title has changed.
"Shao Zhongguan."
Jia Ping'an said with a smile: "There is something here, I want to ask Shao Zhongguan for help..."
…
After hearing this, Shao Peng's expression changed suddenly, and he said coldly: "This matter is too risky."
Eunuch dog, what about the one thing you promised?
Jia Ping'an was still smiling, "Shao Zhongguan..."
"No!" The principle is Shao Peng's life.
Is this for face?
After Lao Xu returned to Chang'an, Jia Ping'an had a backer, and he said seriously: "That day at Wuxianglou, you said, do something for a certain..."
He looked at Shao Peng.
Old Xu is back! That old man is His Majesty's confidant, if he slanders us in front of His Majesty... Shaopeng bowed his head, concealing a little guilty conscience, "We have a promise..."
Ah! Old Xu is the one who promises the most, you are a fool!
Jia Pingan squeezed out a smile, "Thank you, Zhongguan Shao."
Shao Peng kept a cold face, lightly tapped the table with his index finger, "If it fails, we will be in bad luck too."
"I won't fail." Jia Ping'an was full of confidence.
…
—Yongzhou, which was Jingzhao County in the former Sui Dynasty, and changed to Yongzhou in the Tang Dynasty, under the jurisdiction of Chang'an counties. Later, the prodigal son of Li Longji was renamed Jingzhaofu.
he came!
Xu Jingzong entered the state capital, followed by a few hundred cavalry, who were specially sent by Li Zhi to protect him because he was worried that he would be killed. Of course, Old Xu's old partner, Master Jia, was among them.
He has firm steps (in fact, his legs are a little weak), and his expression is firm (actually, my little heart has not stopped shaking since getting up this morning.)
"Call someone." Old Xu's voice was calm.
After a short while, all the dignified officials in Yongzhou appeared.
The adventure has begun...Xu Jingzong's eyelids twitched, and he said firmly: "The crushing is harmful to the people, and there is even more worry about flooding. Now that I am in charge of Yongzhou, I will definitely eliminate this great harm for the people!"
The officials already knew the bold words of the new governor, and they all thought he would take it slowly.
But on the first day of taking office, Lao Xu fired.
Jia Pingan looked at Lao Xu from the side, and felt that he had a kind of "kill me" tragic.
"The old man has mobilized more than a thousand soldiers, and the state capital has used all its manpower to dismantle all the mills around Chang'an."
Damn it!
The officials all stared wide-eyed, wondering if Old Xu was crazy? So many dignitaries! Can you afford to offend me?
"All demolished?"
Brother, just demolish some errands. You demolished them all. Are you trying to make enemies of those dignitaries?
This is the voice of everyone, I hope Lao Xu can listen to it.
Xu Jingzong looked at this person, and said coldly: "I need you to teach me how to do things?"
Well!
This face was slapped crisply.
"Whoever dares not to try his best, whoever dares to report the news, whoever dares to obey the law, the old man will chop him up!"
Clang!
Old Xu came with a sword today.
The long knife was out of its sheath, Xu Jingzong roared: "Let's go!"
A group of people left the state capital, and saw more than a thousand soldiers standing outside.
Jia Pingan said in a low voice: "Mr. Xu, it's time to make some high-profile remarks."
If you know how to do things, you must also know how to publicize, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
Xu Jingzong knew it well, stepped forward and said: "Today I take you to dismantle the mill. If there are all kinds of crimes, I will blame the old man and have nothing to do with you."
Among those dignitaries who privately set up mills, there are also many bigwigs in the military, so the soldiers are a little guilty, and the old Xu can take care of everything, which makes people secretly admire.
Good man!
More than a dozen passers-by were also amazed, "Is this Xu Jingzong?"
"They said he was a treacherous minister, but look, he dared to dismantle those mills for the sake of the people."
"Tsk tsk! I'm afraid I'm going to be killed."
"Set off!"
More than a thousand soldiers set off under the leadership of Yongzhou officials.
In the palace, Li Zhi was waiting.
Changsun Wuji and others are also waiting.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has set off with his troops."
Old Xu's move can be called self-destruction, amazing courage, no, no one can compare.
Xu Qing is a good person! Li Zhi was a little sentimental, and said for a long time: "Xu Qing... is loyal!"
…
In the duty room, Changsun Wuji smiled wryly and said: "Xu Jingzong is crazy, such a lunatic, that's all. I don't care about this matter."
Chu Suiliang also sighed: "I never thought that Xu Jingzong would have such a responsibility!"
Who doesn't know that the rolling mills harm the people, and by the way, the city of Chang'an, but who dares to demolish those rolling mills?
Everyone pretended to be crazy and foolish, but in the end it was Xu Jingzong, whom they called a traitor, who stood up.
All officials in the court and central government were silent after hearing the news.
Xu Jingzong, for the first time, made them seriously think about what is the way to be an official.
The palace also got the news. It is said that Mrs. Wang was surprised, Mrs. Xiao said that Xu Jingzong was an important minister...
Wei Wushuang, who was hiding in the room, looked up, tons...
…
Zheng Guoqu, the famous cheating plan during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, finally fulfilled the project of Qin's hegemony cause, and is still playing a role for Datang at this moment.
Water flow...very slow.
And shallow.
One foot stepped on the shore, and then countless pairs of feet followed.
There is a dam in front of it, and there are mills in operation.
The canal water was intercepted on it.
"Go and have a look!" Xu Jingzong led the people to the field on the left.
"Envoy!"
The common people had already heard the news that Lao Xu was about to blow himself up, and they all gathered together at this moment.
An old farmer took Xu Jingzong to see the crops.
"My lord, look at the wheat we are waiting for...there is no water!"
Xu Jingzong squatted down and watched seriously.
Jia Ping'an's words echoed in his mind: Be sincere and treat the people as your own children.
He said at the time that he couldn't do it. If he treated the people as his own children, he was worried that he would be too involved in the drama and would beat people.
Master Jia looked constipated at the time, and then said: If you can’t do it, then imagine that the people are your parents.
Xiao Jia likes to cheat old men! Xu Jingzong stretched out his hand and squeezed a handful of wheat, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Those low dog slaves!"
He stood up and asked, "Have you asked those people?"
The old farmer nodded, "I asked, but those slaves are here. If I go to release the water, I will be beaten back."
It's one thing to have a strong folk style, but it's another thing to be fierce and powerful. No matter how many people you have, if the dignitaries yell at you, the officials will come to deal with you like wolves and tigers.
The hearts of the people are like iron, and the laws of the government are like furnaces, and Lao Xu is here to upgrade their hearts to the level of stainless steel with a higher melting point.
Old Xu has already entered the play, cursing: "They are all beasts, you don't need to go there, just wait for the old man to dismantle the mill, and then go to release the water!"
This is because they are worried that the common people will be retaliated by the slaves.
What a wonderful Mr. Xu!
The old farmer couldn't help crying, knelt down and howled: "No one has ever made a decision for me. I thought it was God's punishment. Who would have thought that Mr. Xu came today. I am so grateful."
There were a lot of people kneeling in the dark.
These are my parents! Xu Jingzong, who was too involved in the drama, looked ashen, and quickly knelt down to return the salute, then nodded and said: "The old man knows."
He rushed over with people.
"Where did it come from?"
A manu came out with a stick, seeing hundreds of people rushing over, he couldn't help being dumbfounded, and shouted: "Come here!"
Several slaves rushed out with sticks in their hands, and were dumbfounded when they saw the officials and soldiers.
Xu Jingzong said that he would dismantle the mill, but who would have thought that he would do it as soon as he took over.
These are the three fires for new officials to take office!
Xu Jingzong hesitated for a moment.
Jia Ping'an's words came to mind: Mr. Xu, if you want to do something, you have to be decisive without hesitation.
Xu Jingzong drew out his long knife and shouted: "Who dares to stop the old man from dismantling the grinder today? Kill innocent!"
"Do it!" Jia Pingan felt that Lao Xu was really handsome, so he yelled.
Everyone swarmed up, and the slaves immediately dropped their sticks, knelt there and dared not move.
"It's demolished! It's all demolished!" Xu Jingzong waved a long knife and shouted out of breath.
Along along the Zhengguo Canal, a group of people demolished the mills and dams when they saw them, until there were no more fields on both sides.
This operation lasted for more than ten days.
A sensation.
Wherever Lao Xu took people, the people there spontaneously brought water and food to comfort them.
Isn't the rhythm right?
When Jia Pingan saw Lao Xu's upright face, he knew that he was terrified at the moment.
But this is a Shitan pulp pot!
At this time, such scenes will only appear when facing foreign enemies.
But are those dignitaries foreign enemies?
Old Xu, don't be shy.
Perhaps feeling Jia Pingan's gaze, Old Xu said indifferently: "It's not easy for the people, we brought dry food and water, and we won't take anything!"
can not take any, what does this mean?
Don't take every needle and thread from the common people?
Nima!
Jia Ping'an felt numb.
He didn't expect the people to be so enthusiastic.
A group of people completed their meritorious deeds, turned around and went back home.
The green water beside the Zhengguo Canal is long, and a group of people walked to the narrow part of the road. There is running water on the left and mountains on the right. Xu Jingzong walked slowly first, with Jia Pingan beside him, and several hundred cavalry behind him. Farther away are those soldiers and officials.
"Are you there yet?" Old Xu looked serious, but his eyes were flicking around, and he was in a mess of nervousness.
"It's not here yet, don't worry, calm down! Calm down!" Jia Pingan was comforting him, but his eyes wandered around the mountain on the right.
When he saw a 'message tree' slowly falling down, Jia Pingan stepped back a little, exposing Xu Jingzong on the left, and then whispered: "Grand Xu..."
Xu Jingzong turned sideways to Jia Ping'an, that is to say, to the mountain, and said with a smile: "I don't worry about this, I'm so proud... It's just Xiao Jia, don't bully me anymore..."
Before he finished speaking, an arrow flew towards Xu Jingzong's chest.
In an instant, Jia Ping'an threw Xu Jingzong down.
"Someone assassinated."
Jia Pingan held the headless arrow, and a few hundred horsemen blocked the view from behind, quickly passed an arrow over, and exchanged it with him.
Xu Jingzong was lying on the ground, and when he was pushed down by Jia Pingan just now, he fell and his back hurt. Enduring the pain, he opened his eyes a little nervously.
Jia Pingan raised the complete arrow and pierced it into his chest.
Poof!
A stream of blood slowly flowed out.
"The king hit the arrow!"
Xu Jingzong trembled a few times, and then remained still.
"Grand Xu!"
Sorrowful cries echoed among the mountains and rivers...
…
Old Xu lay down, opened his eyes a little, "I can't get up without a recommendation ticket..."
