Chapter 89: It’s not your own business, but it’s messy.

After all the things that should be said this time, the Tang and Zhang couple were about to go back in the afternoon, but were stopped by Tang Cheng. Although they were riding a carriage when they came, the carriage of this era did not have spring shock absorption, and the road from the countryside to the county town was not very flat. It was really uncomfortable to sit down a carriage. They just came yesterday and left today. Tang Cheng was really unbearable.

Haosheng persuaded the two elders to stop him, Tang Cheng turned around and asked Lancao to let go of other things in the past two days, Haosheng accompanied the Tang and Zhang couple to visit the county town.

After lunch, Tang Que chatted with his parents about the family matters in the village for a while, and repeatedly told him not to mention it, then he left to the county government office.

There was nothing special in the yamen in the afternoon. According to the magistrate Zhang, it took Tang Cheng half a month to read the document. The only thing worth mentioning is that Lin Cheng came to deliver the document.

Yesterday he handed it to the mailbox, but today he took the document to Tang Que's office. His eyes were very dark, and because of staying up all night, his face was covered with a haggard iron gray.

When he pushed the door in, although he smiled awkwardly and uglyly, Lin Cheng still laughed after all. After Lin Daohan went to the county school in person, Lin Cheng made a silent apology in this way.

In fact, when Lin Cheng first came in, Tang Cheng's attention had never left him. He clearly saw Lin Cheng's unwillingness and even the indelible humiliation from behind this awkward smile. In addition to being too cruel to Tang Cheng in the past two days, the more important reason is that Mr. Lin!

Tang Cheng didn't take these things deep in his eyes very seriously. This was normal. According to Lin Cheng's temperament, this was a normal reaction. If he didn't even have these emotions, or could not see them at all, then Tang Cheng would really worry.

Lin Cheng was very embarrassed. Tang Cheng was very intimate. As soon as he came in, Tang Cheng greeted him with a smile on his face. He then gave up his seat and even poured tea himself, and did not let the servants intervene. If he saw Tang Cheng's performance at this time, no one would believe that he had fought with Lin Cheng for two days.

But it was Tang Cheng's intimacy that resolved Lin Cheng's embarrassment. The expression on his face when he handed over the document was finally much more natural.

There was not much talk between the two. Lin Cheng delivered the paper and Tang Cheng accepted it. Then he opened the paper to check the data in front of him, and then picked up the pen and wrote the abstract of the paper.

When Tang Que picked up his pen and started writing the abstract, he clearly heard Lin Cheng's sigh of relief after he suppressed it. At the same time, Tang Cheng also sighed in his heart.

After all, this matter has passed!

The knot in his heart was not so easy to untie, especially for Lin Cheng. So the two of them had nothing to say. After handing over the paper, he smiled at Tang Cheng again and turned around and left. Although the smile was a little stiff, it was much more natural than when he first came.

The sanya then went home. An unexpected consequence of Tang Cheng leaving the Tang and Zhang couple was that he could not review his studies as normally as before.

Apart from practicing calligraphy with the old monk Chengning, Tang Cheng had nothing to do in the study. Tang Zhang completely put away his book, saying that she wanted her son to take good care of her eyes during the past two days.

Tang Cheng was both warm and helpless about the behavior of Zhang, the Tang Dynasty. However, this intention was in vain, so he could no longer ask for books.

However, he didn't go to bed early in the future, and it was really difficult for him to go to bed at eight or nine o'clock. As for reading casual books, he couldn't read them. After talking with the two elders, Tang Chengyin, who was walking around in the study after they went to bed, thought of the homework assigned by the old monk Chengning last time - he would hand in a copy of the next time in class.

He did it when he thought about it. Although it was already evening. Fortunately, the moonlight was very good in April and May, so Tang Cheng simply opened the window and went to his desk to use the osmanthus trees under the moonlight outside the window as the main body, carefully outlining the pink version of the osmanthus under the moon. In other words, this is also one of his studies.

After Tang Cheng, who was used to being busy, his heart, which had just been irritable, quickly calmed down with the movement of his pen and ink, and gradually turned like the moonlight outside the window, and was clear and clear.

There was nothing to say about the next two days. I went to the county school in the morning and the county government in the afternoon. I copied the powder book in the evening, and the days passed.

The peaceful days were broken on the afternoon three days later, and the cause was very simple - Zhao Laohu personally chose the tolerance as a messenger and came back, and he also brought back the reply from Erlongzhai.

Erlong Village was unwilling to be pacified. Even after the consent said the generous conditions given by County Magistrate Zhang, Erlong Village remained the same!

This action means that apart from destroying this bandit, County Magistrate Zhang has no other choice!

It was on this afternoon that Tang Cheng learned that the magistrate Zhang County was always gentle and cursed. While he was swearing, the teacup in his hand also fell heavily to the ground and smashed it into pieces, which made the best set of white porcelain tea sets in the public offerings of Yunxi County Yamen.

As the tea cups were broken, County Magistrate Zhang watched the officer come out of the office. This group of thieves were too rampant! After breathing a few breaths, he tried his best to suppress the anger and resentment in his heart, he spoke in a deep voice: "Tang Cheng, now you go and draw a notice to recruit people from all over the country to show me."

The tolerator just now was led by Tang Cheng. Because he knew that the tolerator brought back the news that Erlongzhai was, he also saw that County Magistrate Zhang did not let him go out, so he stayed.

When the conscript said that Erlongzhai was unwilling to be caressed, Tang Cheng's mind naturally came up with the hidden worries of that day. The group of people did not make noise sooner or later, and the time they started to be active was just right at the beginning of the magistrate Zhang's office. If it was a coincidence, it would be a bit too coincidental.

The fact that Erlongzhai is unwilling to care for it is nothing. After all, recruiting bandits is not like the ones in TV dramas in later generations. The turtle's aura can succeed with just one blow. The actual situation is much more complicated than that of later literati. But what made Tang Cheng feel heavy was that the bandits in Erlongzhai refused directly, which means that they didn't even have the intention of bargaining at all.

Although he was unwilling to admit it, Tang Cheng clearly realized that judging from the current information revealed in Erlongzhai, it seemed that it was a little bit supporting his hidden worries.

However, with the current state of Magistrate Zhang, it is not a good time to say these words. Besides, he also needs time to carefully sort out the previous and next things so that when he really wants to speak, he can explain the previous and next questions as concisely as possible.

"Okay, I'll go now." Tang Cheng agreed and walked out. County Magistrate Zhang was also walking out while asking Tang Cheng. But after walking three or four steps, he suddenly stopped and "slowly".

Tang Cheng turned around. However, he saw that County Magistrate Zhang had stopped and pondered. After a while, he heard him say, "The proclamation will be handled later. You can go to the East Courtyard to invite County Magistrate Zhao." While speaking, Zhang County sent someone back to the desk and sat down, "By the way, I'll inform Lao Sun to come in and clean up the ground."

A small matter like sweeping teacup pieces didn't need to be told by County Magistrate Zhang to Tang Cheng to do it. Now he said this matter very specifically, "Yeah, I'll go now." He agreed, while Tang Cheng walked out, he also saw through this small matter that he pretended to be calm and irritated. He even felt a little panic.

After all, this was the first time that County Magistrate Zhang served as the county chief. Perhaps he had never really expected that after so generous conditions, the Mao bandits in Erlong Village would still be reluctant to strode the ground happily?

After going out, he gave instructions to the servant. Tang Cheng was going to the East Courtyard to find Zhao Laohu. After walking a few steps, he turned around and whispered to the servant Lao Sun, "No one can tell me about Lord Zhang throwing the teacup."

Seeing that Tang Cheng's face was solemn, Lao Sun, who was slid in his hand, also smiled, "Don't worry, Tang Lushi, I understand the rules!"

"Okay, that's good," Tang Cheng turned around and went out.

All the way to the east courtyard of the county government office, Tang Cheng went directly into Zhao Laohu's office.

"Acheng is here, sit down." Seeing that Tang Cheng is coming in, Zhao Laohu smiled and signaled the stool on the opposite side of his desk, but he didn't stop holding the things. "I heard my second daughter say that your parents have arrived in the county town at noon. I have prepared some things for my in-laws and sent them to your residence. Remember to collect them after the scattered yamen."

"Then I thanked my parents." The magistrate Zhang was waiting in a hurry, and Tang Cheng had no intention of sitting there. "The magistrate Zhang ordered me to invite the county magistrate to come over and talk."

While speaking, Tang Cheng naturally noticed Zhao Laohu's hands. It turned out that what he was holding on his hands was actually... mud balls!

How fresh is Zhao Laohu, who is in his fifties, is actually fine and is playing in the office.

"Scholars are more calm!" Zhao Laohu and Tangcheng looked at him, and his hands didn't stop at all, "Well, I understand, you go back, just say I have something to do, and it's about it before I can go back to the yamen."

Tang Cheng never expected Zhao Laohu to speak like this again, "Hmm?"

"Su Xiaoqi arrived here first, and then went to the office room inside. I know everything about Erlong Village. Zhang Wupo asked me to come over now to make an idea. I don't have a clear idea yet. What's the use of going there?" As he spoke, the mud on Zhao Laohu's hand slowly became shaped, and the mud that was squeezed out... was a flat-headed peak with three steep cliffs. "Some things... I haven't figured it out yet, just reply like this. I will go by myself in more than an hour."

Tang Cheng paused for a moment before he realized that Su Xiaoqi, who was mentioned by Zhao Laohu, should be the messenger. He came back from Erlongzhai to find Zhao Laohu first, and then went to find the magistrate of Zhang County. Although this matter was not big, it was inconsistent with the taboos of nobility. Zhao Laohu could tell him directly, which proved that he did not treat him as an outsider. If he thought about it carefully, what Zhao Laohu said made sense, so Tang Cheng didn't say anything else and turned around and went to the office room.

"Some things... haven't figured it out yet." On the way out of the East Courtyard, Tang Cheng kept thinking about Zhao Laohu's words? What did he not understand? How many things are there in Erlongzhai that violated common sense?

When he came back to the Zhang County Magistrate's Office, Tang Cheng was already 80% sure. Now Zhao Laohu was racking his brains to think about the things he was worried about.

After hearing Tang Cheng's return that Zhao Laohu had already left the yamen for more than hours before he could come back, County Magistrate Zhang, who had been tense, slowly softened his body, and a few traces of anxiety gradually emerged on his calm face, but he waved without saying anything.

After coming out of the Zhang County Magistrate's Office, the servant Lao Sun disappeared. Tang Que had no intention of asking him where he was going. After returning to his room, he started rummaging through the row of cabinets.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the management of the people's land was mostly continued by the Taizong Dynasty. The household registration system was determined by household registration. Each household had to report to the government for the number of population, land acres, large animals and men. The people who were registered were not allowed to leave their hometown without leaving their hometown. If they had to travel far, they had to apply for a "travel" at the local government. This house stamped with the official seal was similar to the ID card of later generations. Whether it was a pass through the prefecture and county or stay in a hotel and stay, they had to check and register. Anyone who was found to have no certificates was treated as a refugee, not only would they be arrested and repaid after being repatriated, but they also needed a raw meal to be consolidated before repatriation.

Except for those who were transferred to the border army and the town army, the others were farming at home and farming, but when there was war or special needs, they had to obey the recruitment and allocation. "I saw the military post last night. Khan ordered the troops." The "military post" mentioned in the folk song "Mulan Ci" of the Yuefu of the Six Dynasties is actually a kind of recruitment and allocation.

The writing of this recruitment document itself is definitely not just a notice as Tang Que imagined just now. He is much more complicated and complicated than the notifications in later generations. Not only does it require the reasons, scope, time and other routine matters, but it also requires the registration documents to be attached to Ding's household registration information within the scope of recruitment documents, indicating that they will gather there after receiving the recruitment order, and who will listen to the arrangements for the dispatch and what should they do. This is why the "Twelve Volumes of Military Books" are written in "Mulan Ci".

The proclamation itself is simple, but the most important thing is the detailed recruitment entries attached to the post.

Therefore, although the task assigned by County Magistrate Zhang sounds simple, it is not very complicated to do. Moreover, if you want to do it without any mistakes, you must have the cooperation of each county government official in Si Cang, Si Hu and other county government officials. It is far from being able to handle the land independently, Tang Cheng, who has just joined the company.

Holding the previous sample of the recruitment documents, Tang Cheng frowned the more he looked, but the reason for his frowning was not just because he couldn't do it alone for this errand. More importantly, as he learned more about recruitment, he saw the dangers behind the recruitment.

After Tang Cheng finished reading the document and the attached document, he no longer had the idea of ​​taking a pen to start work. Instead, he held the proclamation and entered the office room of Zhang County Magistrate Zhang.

Facing the eyes of County Magistrate Zhang, Tang Cheng spread this thick stack of papers in front of him, "Is this what sir?"

County Magistrate Zhang flipped through the statement, patted his forehead and shook his head, "It's me that I'm not thinking well. You go to the West Courtyard to find Yao Qingguo. Let him draw people from the various officials of Cao Dao and Pen, and make a copy based on this sample. The faster the better."

Tang Cheng nodded as County Magistrate Zhang said, and after a while he was silent, he was about to go out after the document was packed, he asked softly: "What do you mean is to recruit unified commissions across the county? It is the end of April now."

During the question and speech of Tang Cheng, two sentences sounded completely unrelated, but it made County Magistrate Zhang suddenly stunned, "I am really a little upset. You just want to say whatever you want, don't let this kind of spring and autumn brushwork in this subtle and righteous way."

"Yes", Tang Cheng and other places said that the words of Zhang County Magistrate Zhang. In fact, it is not that Zhang County Magistrate couldn't see the risks behind this recruitment, but he was too confused now, so he didn't have the heart to think about these things. As the secretary, Tang Chengzhi needed to remind him.

"Sir, it is the end of April now, and it is the time to hoe crops four times, and it is also the busiest time for farm work in various villages. At this time, the recruitment of Ding Zhuang across the county will inevitably affect the harvest of the county throughout the year. Then, the collection of rent, mediocre, and taxes will also be greatly affected. In addition, so many Ding Zhuang will be recruited at one time to help the battle and encircle and suppress Erlongzhai, whether it is military weapons or food, I am afraid that the county's official warehouse will not be able to support it. Third, the suppression of bandits will inevitably lead to death, and the subsequent burial and pension of the deceased will also involve the burial and pension of the deceased." As Tang Cheng talked about it, the face of the county magistrate Zhang's face became heavier and heavier.

Although this is the first time that Magistrate Zhang has served as the chief official, he has not just come out to be an official. He has some things that he doesn't understand. Now he is just angry and ambitious. Therefore, Tang Cheng just pointed out all the situations, "If you leave these alone, what is most worrying is that something will happen during the recruitment process. Once the recruitment notice is issued and forwarded, it will be the chief official Yao who is responsible for the specific handling."

Although Tang Cheng's words were subtle, they shocked County Magistrate Zhang. He was so frivolous that he could not think about anything at all, and he quickly calmed down after this shock.

When recruiting a man who is a labor force in various households and households during the busy busy period before the harvest, this is the most likely thing to arouse public anger, not to mention that the person who handles this matter specifically is Yao Zhubu. As long as he does something in it, he can incite the storm and ignite the flames... Compared with the fact that the bandits in the jurisdiction cannot be promoted to the official position, the incitement of civil unrest due to improper governance is a crime of beheading. The four words "the repressed people are willing to show off" are really more important than Qianjun!

Even if the Chief Yao did not take advantage of this opportunity to do anything, if the re-entry of disturbing the people delayed the harvest of this season of crops and failed to complete the tax task... Then before the Censor-in-Chief came to impeach in September, the position of County Magistrate Zhang could no longer sit still.

It is a mess in a busy situation, or a concern is a mess. There are so many smart people in the world who do stupid things, which is often because of this. It is obvious that this is the case that Zhang County Magistrate Zhang is determined to recruit Ding Zhuang in the county.

It was thanks to Tang Cheng's reminder. Otherwise, once he issued and forwarded the Notice Office in a hurry, it would be too late to wake up and react, and it might be too late to cause any trouble. Even if the person who was unable to make up for the matter could eliminate this matter, with Yao Zhuzhu and even the horse behind him, when the Ministry of Personnel Examination Testing and the Master of Personnel Examination Testing and the Eight Characters Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing in the future, the Eight Character Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing in the future, the Eight Character Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing Testing in County Magistrate Zhang could not escape, and once he recited these Eight Character Testing Testing Testing Testing, it means that his career path in this life has reached its peak.

As he thought about it, a layer of fine beads of sweat emerged from the corner of his forehead, "I have any ideas to say them together." Although he did not say anything thankful to Tang Cheng, the look that County Magistrate Zhang had expressed this meaning in his eyes.

"We must wipe out the bandits in Erlongzhai again, but we cannot ask for the army to be transferred. In this way, it is imperative to recruit local tyrants. The idea of ​​the adults is good, but how to recruit, how many people should be recruited, and how to arrange these people. You can ask the opinions of Zhao County Magistrate, and I don't understand this at all."

"Yeah, what's right, it's not about yourself, but it's all right!" County Magistrate Zhang pointed to the document held by Tang Cheng, "If you want to write a notice for recruitment, please leave it first. After Zhao County Magistrate arrived, please come to see me immediately."
Chapter completed!
