Chapter 941: The Magnificent Power of Han (Sixty-Five)

Li Weimin straightened up and looked at the old and young in the field, and then at this huge piece of land. Li Weimin suddenly felt compassion in his heart, and stretched out his hand to summon a dozen guards. He waved his hands without saying a word, and he He tied the hem of his clothes to his waist, bent down and picked up the hoe in the old man's hand, and started working with a wave of his arms.

The old man was taken aback and said, "You can't do that to a high official."

Li Weimin chuckled: "You may not know that my hometown is in Jishi County, and my parents are both farmers. I did farm work at home until I was fifteen years old. Later I went to school and stopped doing this. Years have passed and I may be a little rusty, but I am definitely capable.”

"How dare you work for a high-ranking official?" the old man said uneasily while rubbing his hands.

"In our Han Dynasty, it is normal for officials to go to the countryside to help the farmers during the busy farming season. If you have the skills to do this nonsense, you might as well go find some farm tools. We have more than ten people here. It won't take half a day to help you hoe the land."

More than a dozen guards rushed up. Some of them grabbed the hoe from the woman's hand, spread their arms and started doing it. The other two walked up to the old man and asked him to take them to find farm tools quickly. Since the county magistrate was determined If you want to finish working for this family before leaving, you have to hurry up.

A dozen men picked up hoes and started working in the fields. They were all young and strong. When they were at home, they were also the strong laborers of the family. Naturally, this trivial matter was not a big deal. In just half a day, these few acres were covered The ground was hoeed and carefully taken care of. These people were all experts, so they naturally worked quickly and well. The whole family had nothing to do. The old woman hurried home with her daughter-in-law and boiled a large pot. After bringing the boiling water over, the two boys followed a dozen soldiers, staring curiously at the equipment they carried. Even when they were working in the fields, these guards did not put down their weapons.

After gathering the last ridge of land, Li Weimin was already sweating through his clothes. He put down the hoe, stretched out his arms, and laughed: "I haven't touched farm tools for many years, so my back is a little sore, but it's really fun."

"Officials, please drink a bowl of water!" The old man quickly brought a bowl of water to him. Li Weimin didn't have the reserve of a scholar. He raised his neck and swallowed it. The leaked water wet the front of his clothes. .

The whole family stared curiously at Li Weimin and the soldiers drinking water behind him. Obviously, these people had broken their previous understanding of the government. After a long while, the old man said: "This high-ranking official, you and I have met before. The official is different!"

"What's different?" Li Weimin laughed loudly.

"The old government officials also came to the countryside, but they just stood far away and asked us a few words. We actually tried our best to entertain them. In the past, everyone was actually quite afraid of the official officials coming. Yes." The old man said a little embarrassedly.

"That was in the past. The officials of our Han Dynasty were not like this. Don't be afraid when you see our officials of the Han Dynasty in the future. They are all similar to me." Li Weimin pointed to the soldiers behind him, "Maybe you will see many of these soldiers in the future. , but don’t worry, they have strict military discipline. If someone gives you trouble, just go to the county government and file a complaint, and the county will make the decision for you.”

"Don't dare bother the county master. He is a high-ranking official. He has to take care of so many important things in a day. How can he have time to pay attention to these things of the little old man!" said the old man.

One of the guards laughed, handed the bowl in his hand back to the old man, and said with a smile: "This old man, the magistrate of Jiyuan County, has already dug a long time for you."

The old man blinked and looked at the guard, not quite understanding what he said.

The guard pointed at Li Weimin, "This gentleman is the county magistrate of Lord Jiyuan, do you understand?"

The old man's face turned pale instantly. He usually saw that the county's government officials had to pay high tributes. Today, the county boss actually helped him hoe the ground for a long time. His legs went weak and he knelt down.

"Old man, don't do it!" Li Weimin smiled and grabbed the old man: "All the officials in our Han Dynasty are like this. The King of Han said something, if you don't make decisions for the people when you are an official, it is better to go home and sell potatoes. That's good. Okay, the work is done, I still have a few places to run today, so I'll say goodbye." He cupped his hands, turned around to greet the guards, walked onto the road, and walked away.

Watching the group of people leaving, the old man's daughter-in-law came over still trepidatiously: "Father, is this really the county magistrate of our Jiyuan County?"

The old man's eyes were a little confused, and he said after a long while: "This is really an eye-opener for God. He has sent us such a good official from Jiyuan. He will be very successful in the future. He just said that they are a country of Han?"

"Well, father-in-law, he also said that all the officials in the Han Dynasty are like this, and he told us not to be surprised." The daughter-in-law whispered.

"Great Han, Great Han!" the old man murmured: "I hope that the Great Han will always be in charge of us from now on. It would be better for the officials of the Great Wei not to come back."

On the road, the guard looked at Li Weimin who was rubbing his shoulders as he walked, and said with a smile: "You are a scholar, so you will have to suffer a lot now."

Li Weimin shook his head and said: "Young people often do it, but if you don't do it for many years, it really won't work anymore."

"Your Excellency, you are really smart. Now, this matter will spread from one to ten, and it will spread to Jiyuan in a short time and win the hearts of all people. It is simply a trivial matter." The guard praised.

Li Weimin stopped and said, "What happened today is not for the sake of people's hearts. Seeing this family, I just remembered the past of my youth. I'm afraid there are many situations like this old man's family in Jiyuan. When I go back After that, a statistics must be compiled as soon as possible, and counties and townships must find ways to organize some people to help these people farm so as not to miss the spring plowing."

It was already three days since Li Weimin returned to Jiyuan County. This trip to the countryside lasted for more than half a month. Fortunately, the county boss and county magistrate were all transferred from western Liaoning and were skilled in business. County government affairs are handled in an orderly manner, but a large amount of official documents have accumulated and require Li Weimin's approval.

Just as he stepped into the yamen gate, he saw Li Weiwei's boss Bo Quanli coming up to him as if he was seeing a savior: "Sir, you are back!"

"Is there anything urgent?" Li Weimin spread his hands and said with a smile: "Are there any matters in the county that you, the Lord, cannot handle?"

"If it's just official business, that's it. The county magistrate sent by the Wei State has arrived. He sits in the Yamen every day, asking questions, and wants to interfere in county affairs. It's annoying to death."

Li Weimin frowned, "So ignorant?"

"Still sitting inside!" Quan Li pointed to the lobby of the county government office and whispered.

"Let's go and have a look. Who is this sacred person? The King of Han is the one who allowed them to come to give them face. If he understands his appearance, he should stay alone. He will eat and drink. If he doesn't understand his appearance, I will kill him if I don't punish him!" Li Weimin snorted. road.

Quan Li suddenly beamed. This Magistrate Li is not one of those idiots who studied hard. He traveled thousands of miles in exile when he was young. He has never seen anything and his methods are fierce. "If you don't wash it off first, this is really rude!"

"Didn't you just say that there are a lot of official matters? Why don't you worry about taking a shower? Let's deal with the matters at hand first." Li Weimin strode towards the county government hall.

On both sides of the county government hall are the government offices where the governor, the county magistrate, and the county lieutenant are waiting. At this time, these places are full of people coming and going, and there is a constant flow of people. During the moment when Quan Li went to greet Li Weimin, in his presence Outside the custody room, several people were waiting, but the lobby was empty. Because Li Weimin was not here, the place became deserted. When he walked into the lobby, Li Weiwei saw a middle-aged man wearing the official uniform of Dawei County Magistrate. A fair-looking guy was sitting there bored. Apart from this guy and the two people standing behind him, there was no one else in the lobby.

"Master Li, this is Master Ding Junkang Ding!" Quan Li introduced with a smile: "He is from Daliang, Wei State."

"Yes!" Li Weimin nodded, cupped his hands towards Ding Junchang, who was looking at him up and down, and said, "My Excellency, Li Weimin, is currently the magistrate of Jiyuan County. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ding."

Ding Junchang had a look of surprise in his eyes. Is the guy in front of him, covered in mud and with a dark face, actually the magistrate of Jiyuan County sent by the Han Dynasty?

"Master Li, this is..." He glanced at Quan Li next to him with a puzzled look on his face, obviously a little suspicious.

"Oh, this county just went to the countryside to inspect the spring plowing situation. I'm sorry!" Li Weishou explained lightly, "I have already issued an official document about Mr. Ding's matter, and this county also knows about it. Mr. Ding, the former county government official, can go anywhere, but if Mr. Ding wants to go out, it is best to take the county guard with him to avoid any accidents."

You can go anywhere in the county government office, but the implication is that you can go, but the actual affairs are none of your business. Ding Junchang opened his mouth and was about to say something, but Li Weimin already left him and walked towards the center of the lobby. , "Quan Li, it's not that there are a lot of official duties. Let them all come quickly. What needs to be dealt with must be sent and dealt with. Don't mention anything that is delayed."

"Yes!" Quan Li suppressed a laugh, turned around and walked out. A moment later, a large group of people rushed in, each holding a stack of documents in their hands. Li Weimin just sat in the lobby covered in filth. On the official case, he was busy handling one official business at a very fast speed. The officials who came and went also treated Ding Junchang on the side as if he didn't exist. They came and went in a hurry, not even bothering to take a look. .

This situation made Ding Junchang's eyelids twitch wildly, and he wanted to have an attack, but when he remembered Shangguan's lecture, he held it back and sat down patiently, hoping to wait for Li Weimin to finish his official duties before talking to him. Unexpectedly, Li Weimin was away for half a month, and the official duties were really piled up like a mountain. How could he finish them in a short time?

This wait lasted until ten minutes into the night. When Li Weimin finished handling the last official business and stretched and stood up, Ding Junchang had already suffered from back pain from sitting. He quickly stood up and wanted to speak. Unexpectedly, Li Weimin got there first: "Ding Sir, thank you for your hard work. Quan Li, please send Mr. Ding to rest for me. I am also tired. These days, my back is really sore and my legs are cramping. I have to go take a shower first. Mr. Ding, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Leave this behind! In short, Li Weimin walked away in a hurry, which made Ding Junchang almost fall over. (To be continued)
