Chapter Nine

Liu Jing said that he would replace Song Liang to farm, which was not an impulse, but a decision after careful consideration.

On the one hand, he really has sympathy for Song Liang. It can be imagined that once Song Liang's family is swept out by their stepmother Zhang, what is waiting for them will definitely be an extremely harsh reality. If one is not good, the family may be destroyed, and the best result is to barely survive.

On the other hand, doing this is of great benefit to him, which is the real reason that drove him to make this decision. Otherwise, Liu Jing would have done something that harms himself and others even if he is compassionate, he would not be a moral saint.

Liu Jing is now in urgent need of fame as a ladder to become an official, and "working and raising tourists" is an opportunity to perfectly show his kindness. At least his name will be heard from the nine tribes in the village, or even directly to the counties. He is not moved, and what is the point of suffering from some fatigue for this?

In fact, before this, he had already made a general plan to attract the attention of Liu Pan, the young leader of the Liu clan of Longqiu, with his power, and entered the county government.

If Liu Jing's family belongs to the west mountain, and Liu Pan's family can be called the rising sun, Liu Pan's grandfather Liu Xiao was appointed as Sikong in the second year of Jianning (169 AD), and was the second three-monarch of the current dynasty after Liu Jing's great-grandfather Liu Shou in Longqiu. Thanks to this, Liu Pan's father and brother both served in and out of the position and served as high-ranking officials.

Liu Pan was granted a few years ago by Situ and Huang Wan from Jiangxia. During his time in Luoyang, he saw Dong Zhuo cruel and tyrannical, causing trouble in the world. In addition, his father was old and sick, so he simply gave up his post and returned home. He is currently a five-staff official in Changsha County.

The five-staff officer is the second only to Gongcao in a county. He is in charge of the Spring and Autumn Period. When Gongcao or other cadres are vacant, they can be appointed or act on their behalf, and have no fixed position. They have high status and few civil affairs. They are a noble position. If they are not famous scholars, they cannot assume this position.

Liu Jing wanted to join Changsha County Government, but it was just Liu Pan's words, with the premise that he was impressed with his talent.

Liu Jing felt that two things might as well be carried out at the same time, as they could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Liu Pan will definitely not turn a blind eye to a clan who is both virtuous and capable.

"No!" Lai Ci didn't know Liu Jing's plan and objected: "Zhongda, Liu's classics passed down from generation to generation, you are young and should study hard. How can you do something about hoeing and wasting your time in the fields?"

Liu Jing's eyes were clear and he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, why not? When Emperor Shizu Guangwu was young, he was diligent in farming. His brother Liu Bosheng often laughed at Emperor Shizu's burying his head in the fields and had no ambitions. He was like Emperor Gaozu's second brother Liu Zhong.

What was the result? The Emperor Shizu got up and walked, and for more than ten years, he eliminated all the evil spirits, cleared the country, and rebuilt the country, and created the country with great virtue!"

"Just just now, I am trying to persuade myself with Emperor Shizu Guangwu. Zhongda is so arrogant! It seems that he has high ambitions in his heart, and I am too worried."

Lai Ci always thought that Liu Jing and his husband Liu Yuan were very similar. Now it seems that the two of them are just similar in appearance and don’t look like each other at all.

Lai Ci sighed, "Zhongda, my sister-in-law can't tell you."

Zhang hated Liu Jing's confident look and said with a sarcastic look: "How can you think so easily? Have you ever planted the fields? In my opinion, you can't even compare with the child Song Jin."

Although Liu Jing had no experience in this life, he had been accustomed to farming work since he was a child in his previous life. Therefore, he gave a reason calmly: "My mother doesn't know that her son met a friend under Master Song. He was from Guandong and fled to Xiangyang. Liu Jingzhou's generous elders gave him land and cows to rest.

During the spring plowing period, there was insufficient manpower, and his son had a lot of personal relationships with him and often went to help. After a while, he knew a lot about farming.

Besides, didn’t our family hire two tribe members to help? I can ask them more questions. Mother, please let me try it.” After saying that, Liu Jing kowtowed again.

Zhang always felt that no matter what he said, Liu Jing had something to wait for him, and said with a gloomy face: "Zhongda, since you insisted repeatedly, then you will follow you. But you must know that the farming period is fleeting and you cannot tolerate any mistakes. No matter how hard you work after taking over, you must persevere. Don't give up halfway, otherwise the whole family will be hungry after the farming period."

Liu Jing made a decisive decision: "My mother, I firmly believe that this situation will not happen."

Zhang said coldly: "I hope it is as you said."

Song Liang never expected that things would turn around and kept saying incoherently: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you..."

Seeing that Song Liang kowtowed very hard, his forehead turned blue, Liu Jing waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't kowtow again. Song Gu, Song Jin, help your father go back and rest. After I change my clothes, we will set off now."

Song Gu, Song Jin said "promise" heavily, helped his father up, and left with great gratitude.

Without further ado, Liu Jing also said goodbye and returned to the dormitory to change his clothes. When he went to the field to work, he naturally had to change his short clothes. He took out his brown clothes and poor pants from his suitcase. After putting on it, he found a hat and put it on his head, and changed into a pair of straw shoes.

During the Yuanhe period (84-87 AD), the governor of Jingzhou, Che, entered the territory of Changsha, and the onlookers were all bare, that is, naked feet. Now a hundred years have passed, the people in Changsha have become quite familiar with shoes, but they dare not say that they are completely popular. The people at the bottom don’t wear shoes all day long, and there are many people walking barefoot, let alone going to work in the fields.

However, Liu Jing is not an ordinary citizen after all, and it is really a bit difficult for him not to wear shoes.

In the vestibule Song Gu, the Song Jin brothers pulled the two cows out of the cow pen, put on ropes, and carried them on a firewood cart, ready to set off at any time. Seeing Liu Jing coming, Song Gu said, "Mr., please get on the car."

Liu Jing nodded slightly, boarded the wood cart with keenness, and sat side by side with Song Jin. When the two of them were in their seats, Song Gu drove the cattle to drive away the cattle.

Two buffaloes pulled a firewood cart and walked slowly out of Liu's dock. At this time, the rain almost stopped and became as if it were present or not. They shuttled through the countryside and fields, and Liu Jing's face showed a leisurely look.

On the way, Song Gu expressed his gratitude to Liu Jing again: "This time it's really thanks to the husband, otherwise we would be homeless. The villain will be a cow and a horse for the husband in the future to repay him for his kindness."

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "No need to do this. There is only one thing. Although I have some shallow experience in farming, I am not as skilled as an old farmer. You have to help me a little later."

Song Gu did not agree, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Langjun, don't worry, the villain does two people alone, and will never let the husband be tired at all."

Along the way, people greeted Song Gu from time to time and looked at Liu Jing with curious eyes. Most of these people were Liu's servants and guests, with low status and no need to pay attention to it. Liu Jing looked at the rice fields on both sides of the road and observed the farming situation of others.

Some families are sowing rice seeds, while others have grown to seven or eight inches tall. In contrast, their family's progress is obviously behind. The problem must be Song Liang. He has been working sick before, and his progress is definitely not as fast as others.

How far away was Liu Jing, he saw two people wearing single clothes and naked feet sitting under the tree by his family. They were the servants hired by his family. In terms of seniority, they were Liu Jing's brothers. Because their family was poor and had no land, they were forced to make a living by helping the servants and lived a very hard life.

The two also found Liu Jing on the ox cart, and did not dare to neglect, so they immediately stood up to greet him.

Liu Jing jumped out of the ox cart and clasped his fists and said, "The two subordinates, Song Liang, a Jiake, suffered from swollen foot disease, was unable to move, and could not work. Now most of the farming period has passed, time is tight, and it cannot be delayed for a while. So from today on, I will replace Song Liang to cultivate, and I will trouble you in the future."

“…?!”

The two looked at Liu Jing in amazement, unable to believe their ears.

They were with Song Liang all day long, and the latter had swollen foot disease and could not hide it at all. The two of them had speculations in private, but they did not guess that it would be the result in front of them.

The master works for the slave?

Don't say, I haven't heard it before!

Such a ridiculous thing had a huge impact on them.

Liu Jingke was not interested in paying attention to their inner feelings and instructed the two of them to unload the firewood truck for the Erniu, load the iron plow, and lead them to the ground to plough.
