Chapter four hundred and seventy second sister and brother talk
"This is what I want to say." Bai Xiaoshan was not angry when he was questioned, but replied: "It is better to have a natural water source. If not, we will get it ourselves. We will go back and look for a high-lying place to dig a pool.
, the snow is stored in winter, and water can be diverted for irrigation during the rice planting season.
I will also think of ways to dig more deep wells near the fields, which can help when the water source is insufficient. Even if we don't plant rice, there is no harm in having more water sources." Bai Xiaoshan said in the most vernacular.
Speak out your plans.
When the mayor and village chief heard this, they were very excited.
Although the county magistrate in front of me is about the same age as my grandson, he really cares about people's livelihood, which cannot be compared to those officials who come from wealthy families and have no regard for grain.
After walking outside for a day, Bai Xiaoshan not only checked the terrain, but also recorded the harvested grain yield in the village. The results were naturally not very satisfactory.
Before leaving, Bai Xiaoshan gave another suggestion, teaching the mayor and village chiefs how to use leaves to fertilize so that they can increase their food income next year.
As for the work that is spread to all the villagers, these people will naturally do it for them.
When Bai Xiaoshan returned to the county office, it was completely dark and the little man had already fallen asleep in the carriage.
"There is an assassin, please protect me!" Suddenly the carriage stopped urgently and the accompanying government officer shouted.
Bai Xiaoshan fell into the car and hit a big bump on his forehead, but he quickly woke up.
Lifting up the car curtain and looking outside, I saw a group of men in black, all holding big swords, and most of the government officials were standing up.
"The skills of these people look different from those of the previous groups. Go and help and stay alive." Bai Xiaoshan ordered.
Although Bai Xiaoshan didn't have much time to learn Kung Fu and could only learn the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, he could still tell the ropes.
The guards guarding the carriage were transferred by Bai Ling to Bai Xiaoshan, and their skills were much better than those of the government officials.
The four guards were hesitant at first, fearing that someone would attack Bai Xiaoshan when they went to fight, but seeing that the government officials were beaten back and others were injured, they could only rush forward.
As for the secret guard Bai Ling left for Bai Xiaoshan, he did not show up. Until the critical moment, he was just invisible. This was Bai Xiaoshan's biggest trump card to save his life.
The sound of swords clashing, this place is close to the Yamen, and soon the Yamen on duty rushed out to join the battle.
There are also private households near the Yamen, but when I hear the sound of fighting, I want to hide myself in a corner to avoid being implicated. Those who are brave can only take a sneak peek and never dare to go out.
"Protect you adults, leave the men in black to us." Suddenly a female voice came, causing the situation on Bai Xiaoshan's side to quickly reverse.
Bai Xiaoshan looked up and saw Haitang and his men rushing into the battle circle. The men in black were already besieged.
"Second sister." Bai Xiaoshan shouted in surprise, immediately jumped off the carriage and ran towards Bai Ling's carriage.
"Protect the young master." Bai Ling shouted in a low voice. He didn't care about the flash of swords outside. He got out of the carriage and ran towards Bai Xiaoshan. He couldn't help but lecture him: "You haven't grown up yet. If you come out at this time, you won't be afraid.
Is it difficult to guard against hidden arrows?"
"Why did the second sister come here?" Bai Xiaoshan's eyes were bright, and he was not angry even after being scolded. At this moment, he looked like a child who was happy to see his family.
Bai Ling smiled lightly and pulled Bai Xiaoshan to his carriage. At least he had a side that could attack him from behind.
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known what you, the county magistrate, did. People often come to assassinate you." Bai Ling did not answer Bai Xiaoshan's words, but teased: "You are really capable, so you can reach the position of county magistrate."
, people started to assassinate people. If you become a first-class official, do you have to be on guard at all times?"
"Second sister, just laugh at me. Who knew that in such a small county, there could be so many people who want money at the expense of their lives. But I can't pretend not to know, let alone collude with them. Otherwise, I will offend others."
Xiaoshan shrugged, but he took the assassination lightly.
"You are just too radical. You have to follow the lead in everything. Problems cannot be solved at once. These problems left over from history need to be solved with wisdom. You must learn to hit the mark with one blow. And you are a snake in the officialdom.
You must also master the essence of that set."
"This is just a county town. In the future, if you become a bigger official and have wider contact, the people you have to face will not be as simple as some country squires. There are officials who are older than you, and there are also aristocratic families. If they
The people who are sent to assassinate you are not these low-class killers."
"Furthermore, those people think that they may not necessarily use assassination, but may also be framed. Not only will your life be gone, but the whole family may be buried with you!"
Bai Ling took the opportunity to teach Bai Xiaoshan some principles. No matter whether Bai Xiaoshan was willing or not, once he entered officialdom, he would not be able to get through to the end.
Pressing her thin lips tightly, Bai Xiaoshan kept Bai Ling's words in mind and analyzed them carefully.
Seeing this, Bai Ling didn't bother Bai Xiaoshan. She could only give some advice on the way of growing up, but she couldn't make any decisions for Bai Xiaoshan.
Over there, Haitang led others to join him, and soon the men in black were hacked to death or captured, and an assassination came to an end.
Bai Xiaoshan arranged for people to treat the injured first, and gave them money to take a temporary leave to recuperate. The siblings went to the backyard of the Yamen.
Haitang took the people to arrange temporary accommodation, while the housekeeper assisted in allocating rooms and preparing dinner.
The secret guards were standing in the dark. Bai Ling told Bai Xiaoshan about the situation in Zixiao City so that he could be mentally prepared. Bai Xiaoshan also told him what he had done after arriving in Ruyi County.
As a parent, Bai Xiaoshan's actions cannot be said to be wrong, but he still has a good sister to rely on, otherwise he would have died countless times.
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. The second sister finally understands the meaning of this sentence." Bai Ling sighed, but did not say that Bai Xiaoshan did something wrong.
Officials should work for the welfare of the people, and Bai Xiaoshan is absolutely right in doing so.
But if you offend those squires, if you can't get rid of everyone, there will be endless troubles.
"On a small mountain, there are no fish until the water is clear. In terms of big rights and wrongs, the second sister does not ask you to do things against your conscience, but you must also understand that there are truths for all birds in the forest. As long as you are in office, these will
People can do things with their tail between their legs, so you have to learn to relax appropriately.
Being an official and being a housekeeper are sometimes the same thing. There is a saying among the people that it is difficult to be a housekeeper without being deaf or dumb, let alone the way to be an official." Bai Ling said rather helplessly.
"But if you don't make decisions for the people as an official, then why should you be an official?" Bai Xiaoshan asked puzzledly.
"Second sister, it's not that I won't let you make decisions for the people, but the premise is that you have to act within your ability. You should know the meaning of the saying "kill the chicken to scare the monkey". Sometimes you don't need to hit everyone to the point of no return, but to let them
They understand where your boundaries are."
"But in a big family, even if the head of the family is good-natured, there is no guarantee that the people below him will not do dirty things, and there will also be some top-notch relatives who will pull the skin of the tiger. Is it possible to destroy a family because of these people? Ruin it.
A family may be simple, but later it will affect the local economic development and involve people's livelihood issues."
"Taking a step back, will there be other people who get rich in the future, and can we guarantee that they will not do those shameful things? Even if they are good people, when officials come over in the future, they will be dismissed because of the officials' attitude.
Doing something that goes against their true intentions, and their original intention is just to preserve their family and survive, can they be wrong?"
