I am in Water Margin, I, Ximen Qing, stir-fry Pan Jinlian

In the prosperous Zhujiazhuang, the old owner Zhu Chaofeng is a gentleman with profound background. He is discussing some trivial matters with his three young and promising sons in the meeting hall of the village.

A housekeeper hurriedly came in and reported an eye-catching news: the famous Ximen Qing official from Yanggu County came to visit the village.

Although Zhujiazhuang has a pivotal position in the township, it is still a part of Yanggu County, and its relationship with the county government is naturally indispensable.

Zhu Chaofeng, as a learned squire, was naturally familiar with the name of Ximen Qing, who was in charge of public affairs in Yanggu County.

Upon hearing Ximen Qing's arrival, Zhu Chaofeng immediately led his sons out to greet him, introduced the distinguished guests into the house, and treated him with the most sincere hospitality.

While the busy servants were preparing the feast of cattle and sheep, Zhu Chaofeng led Ximen Qing into the ornately decorated meeting hall. The guests and hosts took their seats, and fine tea was immediately served.

"The old man has long heard about the talent and reputation of Ximen Qingguan in Yanggu County. However, due to his old age and inconvenient mobility, he was unable to visit the county government office, and he has always been apologetic.

I didn’t expect you to be here in person today, I’m really overjoyed! I hope the officials can stay in the village for a few days to satisfy the old man's long-cherished wish."Zhu Chaofeng said with words full of respect.

When Ximen Qing heard this, he immediately stood up and returned the salute, and respectfully replied:"I have paid tribute to you. This junior is handling some official affairs for the magistrate in the county. I wish Dulonggang Zhujiazhuang Lao Chaofeng I have long heard of the heroic deeds of the three young masters.

Within Yanggu County, Guizhuang is undoubtedly the first to ensure local tranquility and benefit the people.

If Guizhuang had not effectively curbed the intrusion of Shuibo Liangshan bandits, the surrounding towns and villages would have suffered serious damage. The younger generation has been admiring Lao Chaofeng and the three young masters for a long time."

Ximen Qing's words not only exaggerated the facts, but also showed sincere respect, which made Zhu Chaofeng and his sons feel very useful after hearing them. Zhu Biao was young and vigorous, couldn't restrain his excitement, and shouted loudly first. said:

"It turns out that high-ranking officials have long admired my reputation in the county! To be honest with the officials, the thieves in Liangshanbo are really abominable!

Among the grass bandits entrenched in the mountains, which one is not a naughty and cunning person from all over the country? These gangsters are physically strong, but they are unwilling to work and produce. They only know how to kill people, steal goods, and plunder goods in Liangshanbo, just for their own enjoyment.

We hard-working farmers have to work hard for several years to save some food and money.

Unexpectedly, in an instant, they looted all our belongings in the name of borrowing food. Which manor near Liangshanbo has not suffered greatly?

Ximen officials, others are afraid of the Liangshan bandits, but I, Zhujiazhuang, will never be afraid. I wish Biao will one day go to Liangshan to wipe out these bandits and eliminate the harm to the villagers in the surrounding areas!"

Although Zhu Biao is young and energetic, what he said is not inappropriate.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, successive governments have attached great importance to comforting the victims and refugees.

Every time there is a major disaster, the government will recruit the refugees after the disaster into the army.

Physical strength The strong victims were incorporated into the imperial army, while the weak ones were incorporated into the Xiang army. In short, they were allowed to have food to eat.

For those who did not want to join the army, the government also encouraged them to reclaim wasteland and support farmers and mulberry trees so that they could rely on them..As long as they are willing to work, everyone can have a mouthful of food, and it is not difficult to live a life.

Those who choose to be robbers are either rogues with bad nature and aversion to work, or criminals who commit murder and then flee. There are almost no people who choose to be robbers. One is a kind person.

Ximen Qing clapped his hands and praised:"Zhu Sanlang, your ambition is really admirable! I really admire you! Congratulations to the old gentleman and the three young masters. Frankly speaking, I am here precisely because of this matter.

Recently, the bandits in Liangshanbo have become more and more rampant. They plunder the countryside and threaten the people. Our magistrate is very worried about this.

I heard that Zhujiazhuang in Dulonggang is actively preparing for war and guarding this land alone, so I recommended you to the county magistrate.

The magistrate asked me to visit you, on the one hand, to observe the situation in your village, and on the other hand, to discuss strategies to protect the people and maintain local security."

Hearing Ximen Qing say that the county magistrates all rely on themselves, Zhu Chaofeng felt very proud in his heart, but he said modestly:"Ximen officials, you really think highly of us! The bandits in Liangshanbo are huge, how can they be wiped out just like they are?

Jeju government sent thousands of officers and soldiers, but didn't they all fall into the waters of Yangshanbo in the end? We at Zhujiazhuang are just trying to protect ourselves. How dare we be so arrogant and forget our own responsibilities?

Lord Ximen, our Zhuangzi is located in a remote place, neighboring bandits, and has no external aid. How can we not work hard to strengthen ourselves?

I also ask Mr. Ximen to move more between our Zhuangzi and the magistrate, and explain to us and the magistrate that we are willing to work with the government and the army to resist the bandits in Liangshanbo."

When Ximen Qing heard this, he immediately nodded frequently and took on the task without hesitation.
