"Miss, Miss, are you okay?" As Zhao Min's close-knit girl Han Yue, when she saw her lady staring at a piece of paper without moving, she couldn't help but ask with some worry.

This is after County Magistrate Lu and his lady made a bet, he asked for a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the spot. After the dragon and phoenix danced a few words under the paper, he laughed and left. Zhao Min was quick-witted. Han Yue, who had been with Zhao Min since she was a child, could also read the words. She originally wanted to give her own lady an idea, but when she saw the couple left on the paper, she was silent and did not dare to make a sound. There was a couple written on the paper: Yue Shi Shi Shi’s screen, and each of them was Kong Ming and Zhuge Liang.

I have to say that this is a peerless pair. Zhuge Liang's "Ge" is the homonym of "Ge", which means that the bright moon shines on the screen window, and the hole in the window illuminates it, cleverly linking a person's name and word, with clever content and profound artistic conception. So, Zhao Min, who is very self-esteem, has been frowning and thinking hard.

There are mountains outside the mountain and people outside the people. This is the best portrayal of Zhao Min's mood at this moment. When the county magistrate Lu passed three passes in a row, he had no temper at all. Now, Zhao Min had no clue about the couple left by Lu Haoshan.

Looking at the words on the paper, the iron-painted silver hooks were rough and elegant, and they had already shown the temperament of the calligraphy masters, which looked pleasant and pleasant, and the pair was even more amazing. Zhao Min found nothing when she searched for the dry intestines. Zhao Min found sadly that from beginning to end, he and the magistrate Lu were at an absolute disadvantage.

Who is this county magistrate Lu? He is so talented. Zhao Min felt helpless for a moment. Hearing the call of the girl, he woke up and sighed and said, "Han Yue"

"Miss" Han Yue quickly responded.

"Spread this pair in the clan. Within three days, who can match it, it is considered a great contribution, and you will be rewarded with another 500 taels of silver."

"Yes, Miss"

Han Yue had just left when a servant-like man came in and said respectfully to Zhao Min: "Miss, Master, please invite you to the backyard."

It was obvious that as soon as Lu Haoshan left, Mr. Zhao was concerned about the result of this reception and immediately asked his daughter for questions. Zhao Min had a headache and didn't know how to explain to her father. Hearing this, he rubbed his head with his hands and said, "I understand, I'll go now."

...........

When he came out of Zhaojia Village, Lu Haoshan had a smile, which was a satisfied smile. This time it was worth it. Not only did he raise more than 3,000 taels of silver, he was considered a good start, but he also used a provocation to pull Miss Zhao into the water. He used an eternal quatrain that had not yet been cracked to make her agree to a condition, leaving a great foreshadowing for the future tea and horse transactions, and it can be said that he had completely achieved the purpose of this trip.

Also, it feels good to be looked up to by others. When the beauty Zhao first looked at her, she was a little dull and even a hint of arrogance. But in the end, her eyes had turned into curiosity and looking up, which made Lu Haoshan feel like a big star. This feeling was given by a stunning beauty. How could Lu Haoshan be in a bad mood? Even when he got on the carriage, he couldn't help but whistle.

Lu Haoshan understands one truth: starting from scratch is certainly respectful, but standing on the shoulders of giants can we stand higher and see further. Some people are born to be winners. It is not that they are smart and capable, but that they win at the starting line from the beginning. Many people have never reached this starting line in their entire lives.

Yang Jiu, who protected Lu Haoshan, said flatteringly: "Sir, I believe it will be successful."

"Average, I will only collect 3,300 taels of money." Lu Hao wrote lightly.

Three thousand three hundred taels? And he? Yang Jiu was secretly surprised. When did the rich man in Jiangyou County become so generous? The Zhao clan, the county magistrate last time, only raised 200 taels. It felt like he was begging for food. As soon as the county magistrate came forward, he got more than three thousand taels. This was too generous.

However, Zhao was not generous and Yang Jiu no longer cared. The current county magistrate strictly prohibited the people of the county government from reaching out to the people. He changed the number of special allowances in the more than ten stores under the county government. The income increased instead of reducing. Even the people's attitude towards the yamen runners changed. Even Zhao gave him money, he did not charge the money.

"Sir, where are we going now? Go back home?" Yang Jiu asked carefully.

"Xiuniong"

Yang Jiu immediately understood: "Xi Niu Yang Laocai, has nearly 2,000 acres of land, and is fat and has oil."

Lu Haoshan smiled and said, "This is considered a robbery of the rich to help the poor. Naturally, he will take more flesh to start. It seems that Yang Laocai is still in love with you. Why are you reluctant to do it?"

"How can it be?" Yang Jiu said indifferently: "This Yang Laocai and Xiao were dear friends. Besides, he has always looked down on us and has not contacted us for a long time. Don't be polite, sir."

"Okay, let's go, let's continue to find money."

"Yes, sir."

For several days, Lu Haoshan began to visit the rich and wealthy families in Jiangyou County one by one, with the purpose of one, one was to raise funds, and the other was to discuss the use of official land to borrow money and grain. Although these matters were not publicly promoted, they were not deliberately hidden. Intentionally or unintentionally, the people of Jiangyou knew that their county magistrates, in order to reduce the burden on the people, went to visit and raise funds in person. They were very moved, and many people saw the county magistrate's carriage, spontaneously followed behind and followed the county magistrate to raise funds. It was so majestic, like a debt collection brigade, very spectacular. The stories about Lu County magistrates also spread in Jiangyou County, and the streets and alleys were full of legends about the county magistrates:

"Have you heard that the county magistrate raised 3,000 taels of silver from Zhaojia Village. It's so amazing." A doctor who sold groceries said in surprise.

"I'm wrong, it's three thousand three hundred taels." Another peddler who sold knives corrected: "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense. I heard that the lady of the Zhao family refused to donate so much at the beginning and set up three problems for the master. But our master passed three levels in a row. So they were convinced, so they donated more money."

An aunt selling vegetables said, "I heard that Yang Laocai in Xiniuling is really stingy. At first, he was willing to donate 100 taels, but later he asked the county magistrate to drink, saying that he would donate 10 taels more than one drink. For the sake of our people, the master did more than twenty strong liquor in one go. When he left, he was still the yamen runners carried the carriage. It's really, alas, for the sake of the people, he didn't care about his health, Master Qingtian."

"No, I heard that he donated all his salary for one year. The master did not allow the yamen runners to reach out to us, and he also donated his salary for one year. The first time I, Old Man Hu, saw such a good official, I don't care. If the master comes here to buy fish, I will not take any penny."

"You old Hutou is so good, and I, Zhu Laosan, are not vague. The county magistrate comes to me to buy meat, buy meat to make big meat bones, and I won't give it to you if you don't have any bad ones."

In the teahouse of "Brother Wang", a scholar wearing Confucian uniform fanned the paper and said with a sensual expression: "I heard that my parents were raising funds in Dadong Village. The damn Seng Jin relied on the relatives of a prefect, and pretended not to know. He let the parents hang in front of the door for two quarters of an hour before opening the door. It was so hateful."

"No, people's hearts are not old. Brother Chang, the old parents' words that are worse than going home to sell sweet potatoes than to be an official and not to be a ruler for the people. It's like a yellow clock and Dalu, echoing in my ears. It's really a harmonious model for us."

"There is such a county magistrate in Jiangyou County, which is really the savior of our Jiangyou people."

.........

The touching stories about County Magistrate Lu are spreading more and more, and Lu Haoshan's reputation is getting higher and higher. In the eyes of the Jiangyou people, County Magistrate Lu is simply their rebirth of parents. Everyone's respect and his beloved parents' official. This can be seen on the way to raise funds. Along the way, people kept sending water, wine, food, fruits and other items, and praised them one by one. It can be said that flowers pave the way and walk with reputation. When Lu Haoshan arrived at Shiwan Village, the scene was already very grand.

When he heard that the county magistrate was coming, all the men, women, young and old village lined up to greet him. The old woman brought a bowl of eggs. The woman presented the fruit. Even the child also presented the wild fruits picked from the mountain and saluted the county magistrate one by one. It was like a saint on a patrol. He knelt down on a large area of ​​darkness. The scene was extremely touching. Lu Haoshan naturally would not miss such a chance to be friendly. He helped the old man up with his own hands, comforted the woman, and picked up the cute child to greet him warmly to study, winning cheers.

When Lu Haoshan led everyone to the home of Mo Dachang, a wealthy family member, Mo Dachang had been waiting in front of the gate. A servant next to him was holding a plate of silver. Without the need of County Magistrate Lu, he took the tray and took off the red silk cloth on it. When Lu Haoshan took the pallet, he lifted it up and raised it high in front of the fellow villagers of Shiwan Village, there was a tide of applause at the scene, which lasted for a long time.
