Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

"I understand what you mean." Meng Changqing said, "I will not let down your good intentions."

"Row."

Having said this, I suddenly heard the voice of the yamen servant outside the door, "Would you like to..."

They spoke so quietly that if there wasn't any movement in the study, you wouldn't be able to hear them.

"What's going on?" Wei Fangyun asked loudly.

The yamen guarding the door immediately opened the door and came in, "Reporting to your lord, the kitchen has cooked the food that Lord Meng brought, and I asked if I would like to bring it to you to try."

"Bring it quickly."

Meng Changqing felt something was wrong. It only took so long. The sweet potatoes couldn't be cooked through so quickly.

When Meng Changqing took it in his hand and tried to break it open, he knew that it was not ripe yet. "Uncle, it's not ripe yet. Let someone take it down and continue cooking." Meng Changqing said to the servant who was cooking the sweet potato, "It is considered ripe if it can be easily pierced with chopsticks. .”

The yamen servant was very embarrassed. He held the sweet potatoes in front of several people and apologized profusely.

Meng Changqing said: "You have never been exposed to this kind of thing. It's your fault that I didn't make it clear in advance."

"It's not a big deal." Wei Fangyun handed the sweet potato that had been separated in his hand to the Yamen servant, "Just cook it for a while."

After waiting for the others to go out, Wei Fangyun smelled the sweet potato smell remaining on his hands and said, "I wonder what your food tastes like."

"Uncle will find out later."

Wei Fangyun wiped his hands and said, "Then wait."

Seeing the sweet potatoes, Wei Fangyun talked about this year's harvest again, "It's going as smoothly as the previous two years. This year will definitely be a bumper harvest. If there are a few more harvests like this, the lives of the people will become easier."

If the external troubles are completely blocked and the gangsters are eliminated internally, then the people will really live a life of gods. "

Meng Changqing said: "Uncle, that is the life that the people of Daliang should live."

Wei Fangyun smiled and nodded, "It will be good if everyone can live the life they deserve, but it's a pity that people's hearts are always dissatisfied." After saying this, his eyes swept over Chu Mufeng, "Businessmen always want to More money, officials always want more rights, and those who do nothing want to get rich overnight, so they block roads and rob, and they become bandits."

"If people's hearts are to be satisfied, there must be a world where there is no gap between the rich and the poor, and no distinction between top and bottom. If people have no desires and desires, then it will not be a world." Meng Changqing said, "Uncle, being dissatisfied may not be a bad thing. "

Wei Fangyun laughed, "I can't defeat you."

About two-quarters of an hour later, the yamen outside came over with freshly cooked sweet potatoes. Before he reached the door, Wei Fangyun smelled the sweet potato fragrance and said, "This smells good."

His hands were not afraid of burning at all, so he picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth.

Unexpectedly, his tongue couldn't bear the heat. He held a piece of sweet potato in his mouth and gasped, "It's actually sweet!" After swallowing it, his eyes were full of surprise. "This thing is quite delicious. You guys should eat it too."

Wei Fangyun studied the sweet potatoes in his hands while eating. After he finished one, he kept nodding, "This is called a sweet potato. No wonder it's called a sweet potato. The skin is red."

It’s beautiful, delicious, and has a high yield. Why didn’t I plant it earlier? "

"Uncle, this sweet potato is just one type of potato. There are some varieties that are bigger than it, but they don't taste as good as it. So when I was in the capital, among the several types of potatoes, only sweet potato was the first to be accepted by people. It’s also the most.”    “That’s it.”

"One more thing, if you eat this sweet potato once in a while, you will feel it is delicious. But if you eat it for many years and live on it, you will not feel how delicious it is. Besides, if you eat too much of this sweet potato, it will cause bloating. Children People with weak stomachs should pay special attention."

Wei Fangyun said: “Ordinary people don’t eat too much of anything, so you can rest assured.

This sweet potato has so many benefits. Other counties will definitely ask you to borrow potato seeds next year. Then you can ask someone to teach them. "

"Yes, Evergreen will definitely have no reservations."

The group stayed in Wei Fangyun's study until Shen Shichu before leaving.

Seeing that it was still early, when Meng Changqing passed by Yangmen County, he turned around to the Yangmen County Government Office.

It just happened that she came. Mao Chunfang happened to be at the county government office and had nothing to do. When he saw her coming, he directly pulled her in and had a chat with her.

"A few days ago, a young general from Weishan Camp passed through our county. I heard that the man was a friend of Master Meng's since childhood."

"We have known each other since childhood, but we dare not say that we are friends." Meng Changqing said bluntly, "General Chen, he comes from an aristocratic family and is a kind-hearted person. He doesn't mind dealing with people like us."

"Mr. Meng is too self-effacing." Mao Chunfang said with a knowing expression, "If I don't regard you as a friend, how can I remember your birthday."

"Master Mao, please stop teasing me. It's so easy to remember the day I was born." Meng Changqing asked Mao Chunfang, "What did General Chen say to Master Mao? How come Master Mao knows so clearly?"

"Hey, it's embarrassing to even talk about it." Mao Chunfang shook his head, "I'm embarrassed to tell you.

There have been gangs in my county in the past two years, and it seems that they can never catch them. This is not the case. General Chen, with a bag of sweet potatoes you gave, and so many guards escorting him around, the gangsters thought that there was something in the bag. If there was something valuable, I would think of robbing it.

Although he set up a trap, he was still easily caught by the people around General Chen, and he was finally brought to me.

Because of this, I spoke a few more words to the young general. "

"The robbers who blocked the road should really think of a solution. The young general is now a highly regarded talent. He is not injured but he is not injured. If he is really seriously injured, then you and I will be in big trouble."

"Yeah, I'm glad to see that the young general was unscathed." Mao Chunfang sighed, "This dynasty implements benevolent government, and as long as they don't hurt people's lives or are extremely vicious sinners, they can't be punished with death.

These robbers in our county are very cunning. They recognize this and only steal property. They usually do not harm people's lives easily. Even if I catch such robbers, I can only sentence them to a few years in prison. When the time comes, I will have to release them.

These people who have been in prison for several years and then get out will still continue to commit robberies.

Let me tell you, only by catching and killing each one can we stop the evil trend in Yangmen County today. "Mao Chunfang said, "I really want to imitate you, but unfortunately if I imitate you, I'm afraid my official position will not be guaranteed."

"The situation in each county is different." Meng Changqing explained for himself, "I had no choice but to deal with them at the time. If Mr. Mao was forced to do so, I think Mr. Futai would also understand."

Mao Chunfang stretched out her hand and nodded at Meng Changqing, "You, you are a person who doesn't realize that despite your age, you have many crooked ideas."

"I always think that their lives are also lives. Since they want to save the lives of the people who were robbed, I should also save their lives. After all, I am too soft-hearted." Mao Chunfang sighed, "In officialdom, this is terrible Not a good thing."
