Qin Liang has long thought that he should not expect too much from Cao Shuang, and now it seems that it is true. Qin Liang has been running around in the Wei Dynasty over the years, but nothing seems to have changed; looking at this situation, the general trend is almost
It is still developing in the original direction.
He really couldn't control Cao Shuang, and Qin Liang didn't bother to ask about Luoyang's affairs. Not to mention that he was the governor of Lujiang County, and even Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou, had limited influence on Luoyang.
Whether it is personnel matters or military power, the Sima family and the Shuang family are fighting openly and secretly, and outsiders cannot get involved. There are still many nobles watching, and it is indeed a place of right and wrong.
Qin Liang has thought about it many times, and after thinking about it... the Sima family is a Hanoi noble family next to Luoyang, and they have maintained connections among the noble families for many years. Now they still have military power in Luoyang; Qin Liang's background, family status
With the foundation and resources, playing tricks with the Sima family is really of no use.
It is for this reason that when Qin Liang was in Luoyang, whatever he wanted to do, he was restricted everywhere. Moreover, he had to be careful in everything he did, and he was so frustrated that he was afraid that he would die if his flaws were exposed.
However, when he was in Luoyang, he never wanted to fight for power with the Sima family, he just wanted to get the position of county guard.
Fortunately, Cao Shuang and Sima Yi finally released Qin Liang and gave him a county.
Now Qin Liang only has to manage his territory with peace of mind and does a lot of things.
He goes to many places every day. He will first check the progress of things, then speak very briefly, point out specific problems and requirements to the officials and generals, and then go to the next place immediately after speaking.
This method was very time-consuming, but Qin Liang could not find a better way to organize it for a while. After all, the officials' ideas were completely different from his. They just convened to discuss matters, and it was difficult for people to understand his request.
In fact, most of the things and things he does make use of existing ready-made technologies and techniques. But what purpose is achieved when combined, the thinking and insights are indeed different from ancient times to modern times. Without a long period of running-in, only a short period of time can be achieved.
For a year, it was difficult for his subordinates to understand his thoughts.
Fortunately, the power of the county governor was strong enough in the local area, and Qin Liang had Wang Ling, the governor of Yangzhou, as his backer, so no one would go against him. People did not need to understand why, as long as they followed his decrees.
What's more, Qin Liang didn't touch the interests of the officials and generals at all. After the increase in grain production, everyone got some more benefits.
It has only been a year since he left Luoyang, and most people in Luoyang have probably almost forgotten Qin Liang. After all, it is just a county, so no one probably thinks that he can do anything.
As he got busy, time passed quickly. Qin Liang felt that the spring of the first five years was still yesterday. When he realized the time, he found that it was time to change the official uniform to winter black.
Although he was so busy that he was dizzy, Qin Liang was still happier than when he was in Luoyang. Wang Xuanji probably felt the same way. Her smiles were getting more and more, even if she could only be confined to the courtyard every day.
Wang Lingjun rarely went out before he left the cabinet, and she didn't feel that there was anything bad about his life, not to mention that now he had his aunt with him.
But today, when Qin Liang returned to the east courtyard covered in mud, he didn't see Wang Lingjun coming out to greet him. He didn't care about this kind of red tape, but he just felt strange, as if something had happened.
When he came to the upper room, he saw that your king was sitting at the banquet and crying. Xuan Ji and Mo Xie were also beside him.
"What's wrong?" Qin Liang asked with eyes wide open.
Wang Lingjun ignored people and just cried there.
Xuan Ji winked, Qin Liang stepped forward quickly upon seeing this, picked up the slips on several cases and read them.
It turned out to be a letter written by Wang Guang. After a moment, Qin Liang was also startled. Mrs. Xue was actually dead?
Qin Liang looked carefully at the words on it and found that it was indeed Wang Guang's handwriting. He was surprised for a moment and blurted out: "When we left Luoyang last year, my grandma was still in good health."
He read the letter. It turned out that the weather in Luoyang was suddenly cold a while ago, and Mrs. Xue accidentally contracted the cold. She took many decoctions but couldn't get better, and she died from it. Colds can also kill people!
Qin Liang sighed, put down the letter, sat next to Wang Lingjun, and gently stroked her back.
"I don't have a mother anymore." Wang Lingjun suddenly threw himself into Qin Liang's arms and cried even harder.
Qin Liang could only say kindly: "Everyone knows how to leave, it's just sooner or later. My grandma left a little early, but she didn't suffer much, please think about it for the better."
Wang Lingjun choked up and said: "When she left last year, she also told me to pay attention to food and keep warm, and to be careful of water and soil. I didn't expect that that would be the last time..."
Qin Liang could only keep comforting her and saying useless nice things. Mrs. Xue was not his mother, and she didn't even spend much time with Qin Liang. He was really not very sad, just surprised, and simply felt sorry for Wang Lingjun.
After a while, Qin Liang said: "Don't be too sad, sir. Logically we have to go back for the funeral. What if you are too weak and have to travel more than a thousand miles?"
Wang Lingjun then said: "We will set off back tomorrow."
Qin Liang thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine."
Wang Lingjun gradually stopped crying and sat there in a daze.
Time was running out, so Qin Liang asked Xuan Ji to accompany her, and then went to arrange everything and explain the affairs of the county government first. Fortunately, Yang Wei, Wang Kang, Wu Xin and others all lived in the county government, so it was easy to find them in the evening.
Very simple.
When Qin Liang returned to the courtyard, he discussed with Xuan Ji again and asked her if she would go back for the funeral. Mrs. Xue was also her sister-in-law by title. However, Xuan Ji might not be able to leave after she returned, so after weighing the matter, the matter was dropped.
Qin Liang told Wu Xin to stay in the inner house and take care of him.
However, Lujiang County has been governed by Qin Liang for more than a year, and everyone inside and outside is his people, so there can be no problems in Lu'an City.
Wang Lingjun didn't sleep well all night. He tossed and turned in Qin Liang's arms and woke him up several times. At this time, Xuan Ji didn't sleep with him in the room.
Early the next morning, a group of more than ten people set off on horseback. In addition to Rao Dashan and a few other followers, there were also two girls. Wu Xin found some women as his followers in Lujiang County and his hometown of Xuzhou, either childless widows or
The village woman whose parents had died found dozens of people to raise her in a year. The two people who accompanied Wang Lingjun were Wu Xin's men.
Because Mo Xie and Jiang Li had learned swordsmanship from Wang Lingjun and were relatively close and trusted people, it was better to stay with Xuan Ji.
It is more than a thousand miles from Lu'an City to Luoyang. Fortunately, the terrain is flat and the roads are easy to walk. People take their families with them by car or walk, and the distance will be very long, but if they ride horses, it only takes a few days, and they can still find guests in the city at night.
Rest in a house or pavilion.
Qin Liang felt that time passed quickly in Lujiang County, but when he returned to Luoyang, he felt as if he had been separated from another world, as if many things had become unfamiliar.
