Chapter 296 Return to Beishan County
Speaking of the latter, Ding Aixue also understood that Meng Changqing always gets things done after being reckless.
This is called beating the old master to death with random punches.
However, Ding Aixue still patiently said: "It is a rare thing that you are determined to make decisions for the people. The more officials like you, the easier the lives of the people will be.
However, before doing anything, you must think calmly. We are also citizens after taking off our official clothes.
You have to protect yourself no matter what, especially you. With your current situation, if something happens, what will your family do? ”
Meng Changqing nodded, "Master taught me this."
"Although you didn't talk about the plight of the people in Hongfu Village, your officials are willing to help them at all costs. They must have reached the point where they can no longer survive.
You young people are enthusiastic and sincere, and I admire you as a teacher, but what you do must not exceed your capabilities. ”
Meng Changqing understood what he meant, "I didn't expect it to be such a big fuss."
"I understand." Ding Aixue thought for her: "It is a serious crime for you to leave Liangzhou rashly, but with Master Wei's attitude towards you, he can at most give you a few words.
But be careful with Mr. Mao. Your two counties are close to each other. He will definitely know when you leave Beishan County. In addition to your previous conflicts, he will probably complain to Mr. Wei. ”
Meng Changqing said: "The relationship between me and Mr. Mao has eased recently. He can only make fun of me a few times."
Ding Aixue quickly guessed, "What benefits did you give him?"
"Normal commercial transactions." Meng Changqing said: "Beishan County plans to build a new street, which will require a lot of bricks and craftsmen. From all aspects, it is most cost-effective to cooperate with Yangmen County."
"Beishan County is a new county, and there is no harm in establishing good relations with the three surrounding counties." Ding Aixue also expressed his views on several other adults, "Mr. Hua from Hongjia County is loyal and enthusiastic. As long as you ask for it out loud, It makes sense, Mr. Hua Lao will definitely help.
Mr. Cao of Weishan County, although he is unforgiving and has a weird temper, he has a good heart. As long as it is beneficial to the country and the people, he will never object.
This is Mr. Mao from Yangmen County...
When you interact with him, you must be careful. This person may be easy to talk to on the surface, but he may be very profit-oriented at heart. No matter how harmonious you get along with him in the past, once his interests are touched, he will fall out with you. of. ”
These words would never have been heard from Ding Aixue before Meng Changqing became a disciple.
"Thank you, Master, for the advice." Meng Changqing said movedly: "With you in Liangzhou, Changqing feels confident."
Ding Aixue gave her a piece of meat, "Eat more, you look too thin, not as strong as the year you first came to Liangzhou."
After lunch, the mistress knew that Meng Changqing had not slept in the bed for two nights, so she asked her to take a lunch break in the guest room.
Meng Changqing thanked his wife for her kindness, but still refused, saying that he was worried about leaving Beishan County and would go back as soon as possible.
Ding Aixue can understand. Beishan County officials are not fully equipped and Changqing is not here. Some things need to be handled and he doesn't know who to ask.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the door." Ding Aixue sent you directly to the city gate.
He led Meng Changqing to the front, thinking about his apprentice's current situation, and couldn't help but comfort him: "Liangzhou is located on the border, and with the bitter cold in winter, not many people in the court are willing to come here.
After studying hard for many years, I finally got on the list. Everyone wants to live a good life. Even if they can't stay in the capital, they still want to go to a prosperous place.
It’s human nature and understandable. But for us, the staff is not fully staffed. Not only are we tired, but many things cannot be handled in time.
Don't wait for someone to be sent to you. "Ding Ai taught her, "If you need it, just ask Shangguan for it. I believe Lord Wei is willing to petition for Beishan County. When the time comes, the Ministry of Personnel will not be able to provide anyone, so we can only allow you to find an acting official. ”
Meng Changqing had never thought about this problem. She did not have many official duties in Beishan County, and she and Qi Renli were both busy enough.
But thinking about it carefully, there are more and more people in the county, and there are more and more things going on. There is no reason for her to drag Qi Renli into two old donkeys, and she has to start from now on and make plans for the future.
"Master reminded me at the right time. After Changqing got forgiveness from Mr. Futai, he asked him to help ask the officials."
Ding Aixue looked at the person in front of him with satisfaction, "Don't worry about the cattle farming. Once I have more cattle here, I will send someone to deliver them to you immediately."
"Changqing thanks Master." Meng Changqing was about to kneel down and salute, but was supported by Ding Aixue, "Go back quickly, I will go to Beishan County to see you after the spring plowing."
Leaving Luojiang County, we followed the official road through Yangmen County and returned to Beishan.
When we entered the east gate of the government office, it was completely dark, and the lights in the government office were on one by one.
When Wen Shi and Liang Jiujiu heard the sound of horses, they stood at the gate of the back office. Seeing Meng Changqing come back intact, Wen Shi nodded to her, "Just come back safely."
Meng Changqing was in such a hurry to go out this time that he didn't even have time to tell Mr. Wen and only hurriedly explained to Lai Cai.
Knowing that she was going to Dazhou to uphold justice for the people of Dazhou, Wen felt that the matter was not done right. For fear of something happening to Meng Changqing, one of her and Liang Jiujiu was openly anxious, but the other did not dare to show his anxiety.
As soon as she entered the door, Meng Changqing saw Xi Bei holding a knife, leaving her with an angry back.
Meng Changqing had no time to catch up. She had to listen to what the two mothers had to say.
Wen also noticed Xi Bei's anger, "Master Xi is worried about you. If it weren't for us, he would have chased me to Dazhou that day.
He treats you like his own child. How can he not be angry if you deliberately conceal your whereabouts from him? ”
"I did something wrong." Meng Changqing did not give herself a reason. She did not consider Xi Bei's mood when she did this.
It was only because of her years of relationship with Xi Bei that she dared to do this.
It’s because we are as close as family that we can be sure that even if we don’t do one or two things well, the other person will not fall out.
After standing at the door and talking to the two mothers for a while, Wen knew that she would definitely go to the front office when she didn't enter the yard.
"I asked Xiaodai to bring you dinner. Remember to go to bed early after you finish eating."
"Don't worry, mother, I know it well."
Wenshi smiled and nodded, watching her go to the front office, "I was watching and felt that this child was tired. It would be nice if she could be more selfish."
As soon as Meng Changqing interrupted in front of the two mothers, he forgot that Xi Bei was still angry with her, and all he could think about was the accumulated official duties.
She didn't expect that Xi Bei would be waiting for her in the study.
"Master." Meng Changqing was apologizing and saying something nice.
Then Xi Bei raised her hand, "Don't use your nice words to deal with me. I'm not here to blame you."
