(I just finished participating in the social practice of Luyuan, and returned to Beijing from Guangdong. I was having a lot of trouble. I haven't updated these days, so I was wrong. Now I'm back. I'm trying to adjust, update and make up for it, and apologize again!)

The sound of the wind blew up, wrapped in a strong smell of blood, and then slowly dissipated in the air.

Xu Nianniang's sword light had already hidden, and she walked over step by step, and her eyes looked at Chen Sanlang with a complicated look: At that moment, he didn't expect that Chen Sanlang would really block the white-headed man's knife!

It was this time that we could create such a good opportunity. It seemed that the two had agreed to cooperate in advance. But Xu Nianniang knew it clearly and was not the case at all. She just passed the sword technique last night, and it was really unsure of how much Chen Sanlang could understand it.

But now it seems that this comprehension is indeed a monster.

Xu Jun ran over and asked in surprise: "Sanlang, your cultivation has recovered?"

Chen Sanlang nodded, smiled, very happy: since he was pressed by the dragon energy and trapped the "Haoran Silk Book" and could not use his cultivation level, he always felt depressed, as if he had missing something extremely important. Now, it's better, Xu Nianniang teaches it and understands the sword score. At the moment of understanding, his mind was shocked and his golden dragon energy was cut open in one fell swoop. Then the ancient book took the opportunity to open, and the characters reappeared...

I couldn't sleep all night last night, so I was concerned about this.

With external help, ancient books gained freedom and gained the upper hand, and absorbed most of the golden dragon energy into nutrients, thereby strengthening it—

This is where the swordsmanship is flying!

Only then can you assassinate Komatsu first and then resist the attack of Baitou Weng.

"very good."

Xu Nianniang praised that this son-in-law's growth rate was quite good. I remember more than a year ago, the other party was just a confused nerd.

"marvelous!"

Xu Jun showed his true feelings and hugged him directly.

Seeing this, Xu Nianniang turned her head angrily and pretended to look at the scenery in the distance. She didn't look at the couple's affectionate relationship.

...

When returning to the county town, the first thing Chen Sanlang did was to sleep with his head covered.

Uncle Hua was waiting in the house for anxiety. When he saw the young master returning safely, he felt relieved. When Chen Sanlang got to bed, he quickly ordered the whole family to cook chicken and make soup so that the young master could drink hot soup after waking up.

Chen Sanlang woke up from the rich aroma of chicken soup and had a simple washing. He sat at the dining table and saw the sumptuous dinner, and his appetite was full.

"Uncle Hua, you guys can sit and eat together."

Uncle Hua hurriedly said, "Young Master, today is different from the past..."

Chen Sanlang waved his hand: "Nothing is different, I am still me."

"Young Master..."

Uncle Hua choked up a little.

Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "The so-called rules are nothing more than human feelings. Without people and without love, what is the meaning of existence?"

"yes."

So I sat at the dining table.

After dinner, Chen Sanlang began to ask about life matters. In terms of village dock construction, Zhou Hezhi led the overall situation, Mr. Yang assisted him, and focused on clan studies. Uncle Hua was not idle either. He was in charge of land, economy and trade affairs.

These things were all used to doing at Chen's family before. The difference is that the framework of the family now has been many times larger, and the affairs have increased many times, and the burden has been heavy. However, although he is over 60 years old, since he got married, Lao Shu is still very energetic and capable of doing it.

Chen Sanlang listened slowly and felt satisfied: Uncle Hua is an extremely reliable "old man" around him, and it is the reason to use "old man". Although he is not pioneering enough, he is the most suitable to be steady and cope with the current situation.

At this time, thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. Uncle Hua ran out to see, watched the sky, and came back soon to report: "Young Master, it may rain heavily tonight."

This season, it is raining normally.

Chen Sanlang said: "Well, you guys are cleaning up, you've been working hard for a day, go to bed early. I'm going to go to the county government to handle the matter."

"Okay... Young Master, how come Ah and them are always missing? It's so inappropriate."

It is claimed to be that Chi and Xiongping are both Chen Sanlang's personal companions and are confidants. However, since the incident in the suppression of bandits, Chi and He has disappeared, which is strange.

Uncle Hua felt angry. The young master now has a completely different identity. With an official position, he must be left with him for a day. He has to be taken care of by others in front of him or her, otherwise it will be inconvenient.

Chen Sanlang replied vaguely: "I sent them to do things... Zhou Fencao and others are here in the yamen, so it's okay."

He took a greased paper umbrella and walked to the county government office.

The lights of the county government were on, and Zhou Fencao was reviewing the documents, frowning, and it was about to condense into a ball: the small county government had a very simple matter and very few cases. However, since Chen Sanlang took on the position of county magistrate, all kinds of major events have been piled up one after another, which made Zhou Fencao feel very stressed and the situation is difficult.

"Mr. Zhou."

Chen Sanlang stepped in and shouted softly.

When Zhou Fencao saw him, he looked sad and quickly stood up to greet him: "Mr. Chen, you are finally here."

Although Chen Sanlang handed him over all the matters of the county government, many difficult things were like losing Chen Sanlang to decide, and it was difficult to make decisions without Chen Sanlang's decision.

After sitting down, there was a servant who served tea.

Zhou Fencao poured out all the difficult problems in his heart like a bitter taste, mainly in two aspects: first, the tax increase mentioned earlier.

The tax standards are different, and taxes are added at will. It is not that Yuan Wenchang deliberately targeted Chen Sanlang, but that there are rules in all major prefectures. The main reason is that the major governors use this to collect money, act as small treasuries, and accumulate trouble.

Another aspect is about Chen Sanlang's failure to suppress the bandits. Nanyang Prefecture has sent someone to convey the documents. The statements in the documents are quite harsh and very meaningful to hold them accountable.

Zhou Fencao was a wise man, so he naturally knew the tricks, that was nothing more than Yangzhou wanted to destroy Chen Sanlang. The bandits in front were in chaos, which was a secret chess; if the secret chess was not done, he would change his routine.

Due to the pressure from Yangzhou, Zhou Fencao could do was to use his influence in the Shilin literary world to make calls, so that Yuan Wenchang would be concerned about it. However, there was really no confidence in the specific effect. As for taxation, it was even more troublesome.

As the saying goes: wool comes from sheep. The superiors order taxes to increase, and the officials below can only ask the people. Since ancient times, this has been the case and there is almost no other way to go. But in this way, people's lives are difficult and there is no way to survive, and it is easy to breed changes in the people.

Chen Sanlang killed County Magistrate Lu to take office and implemented a series of policies, which can be said to be "benevolent government" and won the hearts of the people. However, if tax increases are now raised and the people are in an uproar, it means that all the efforts before have been wasted and all of them have been lost.

In addition, the reputation he gained in the literary world will also be ruined: Didn’t you swear in "Yueyang Tower Notes" that “worry about the world first and then enjoy the world later”? How do you say one thing and do another, increase taxes and scrape the ground three feet?

After listening to Zhou Fencao's story and analysis, Chen Sanlang also frowned: This situation is like a dead knot and is difficult to solve. No wonder Zhou Fencao has been worried these days and is anxious to find himself. This is not simply a matter of personal ability. In the overall situation, he is unable to do so.

At this time, raindrops came, making the roof tiles crackled, as if they were hitting people's hearts, making them even more bored.

With a "Ya" sound, the door was pushed open from outside, and a woman floated up and smiled: "Chen Sanlang, you are indeed here."
