Chapter 175 Prejudice
Jiang Chun waved his wife away, and sighed again inexplicably.

Looking at the affairs of the world, one leaf can tell the autumn of the world. Just looking at the changes in the attitudes of his wife and children towards Li Feiyu, we can see how the entire Qingfu County reacted.

He knew that what Mou said was not completely unreasonable, but what's the use of reasoning?How could Li Feiyu marry his own daughter?

This is the case with marriage, and so is the officialdom, and their respective positions are definitely not something that a woman can take for granted...

Only then did I turn my mind to this place, when suddenly I heard a servant outside the door saying: "Ah Lang, County Lieutenant Li is asking to see you."

Jiang Chun couldn't help cursing inwardly, it would be convenient to ask to see him when he lives at home.

"Please come in."

He rubbed his face, stood up to greet her with a smile, and said, "Feiyu is here."

Li Xia entered the study, still holding a scroll in his hand.

"Magistrate Jiang, excuse me."

"Feiyu is welcome." Jiang Chun said, "What's the matter for coming here at night?"

"Yesterday, the county magistrate said that he would buy wine to cleanse me up. You and I had a good chat with the landlord. Why did you forget today? Could it be that I made a mistake and offended the county magistrate?"

"Haha, what is Feiyu talking about? There is absolutely no such thing, there is absolutely no such thing. I never thought that Feiyu would be so diligent. I am afraid that you will work hard."

"That being the case, can I have a good chat with the county magistrate?"

"It's natural..."

Before Jiang Chun could finish his sentence, Li Xia spread out the scroll in his hand on Jiang Chun's case. It was a scroll of maps.

"I want to ask the county magistrate to support me to set up another navy in Qingfu County."

Jiang Chun was stunned when he heard the words, unable to react for a long time...

~~
Fang Yankai returned to the study.

Sitting at the bottom, Jiang Yan let out a long sigh, and said, "Dong Weng, after this incident, I'm afraid it's unreasonable to hold the third class and not hand it over to Li Xianwei."

"He doesn't care if I hand it over to him or not." Fang Yankai said flatly, "Hasn't he been in contact with Class Three?"

Jiang Xuan said: "Although Li Xia is young, he has a deep scheming mind. He boasted that he could fight against the crowd with one man, but in fact he used his own strengths to attack others' weaknesses. He made up his momentum and deserved to be a traitor. He would not be willing to be a county captain without power. Today The sword's edge is pointing at Dong Weng."

Fang Yankai looked down at the official document, but he didn't want to read it again.

Jiang Quan said: "The yamen servants and Min Zhuang are all rough men, and it is hard to guarantee that they will not be wooed by him in the future; there is also Jiang County Magistrate, now Li Xia lives in Jiang County Magistrate's courtyard, it is hard to guarantee that they will join forces..."

"Mingguang thinks how to deal with it?"

"Why don't you hand over Class Three to him and assign him another difficult task?"

Fang Yankai said: "It's useless to take his faults, the county magistrate and the master don't have the right to dismiss the county lieutenant."

Jiang Quan said: "We know that there are in the state."

Fang Yankai shook his head, and pondered: "If you can only ask the Zhizhou to come forward, you don't have to do this calculation, otherwise the Zhizhou will not like it."

"According to Dongweng's intention?"

"I'll just write a letter and ask Zhizhou to dismiss him."

"But why?"

"There's no need to start." Fang Yankai said, "Even if it's just to call him to the city of Xuzhou to hang out, that's enough."

"Dong Weng Mingjian."

"Ming Guang, let's write." Fang Yankai got up and took two steps, and said, "Let's talk about Li Feiyu's youth and arrogance, and he came from the traitorous party..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a call from outside the door.

"Ah Lang, County Magistrate Jiang and County Lieutenant Li are here."

~~
Candles were brightly lit in the study.

Fang Yankai sat there, staring at the map, while Li Xia was talking eloquently in his ears.

He just felt as if he was in a dream, and he didn't realize it for a long time. Why did Li Xia come to say these things?

"This time, the Mongolian army attacked Shu with strategic goals in Chongqing and Hezhou. The terrain of Hezhou is more steep and important than that of Syria. The confluence of the three rivers can control the border of Shu;

We can't control the lines of Tie Gehuo Luchi, Dai Da'er, and Wang Dechen.However, it is inevitable that Wuliang and Hetai will attack Syria along the Jinsha River in order to encircle Hezhou.

We are stationed in border counties and assume the duty of guarding the soil. We must try our best to block Wuliang Hetai.Then there should be a navy, who can go down the Fujiang River to attack the Mongolian army, retreat to garrison the Fujiang River, and protect the people outside Fu County..."

Having said that, Li Xia asked, "What do you think the landlord wants?"

Fang Yankai came back to his senses, and said: "When we fight together, we have our own army to fight, why do we need a small county town to join the battle?"

"Shu has resisted Mongolia for more than ten years. Didn't all the counties, villages and villages rise up and fight against it?"

"But this..."

Li Xia said: "Besides, with the navy, not only can you guard the city, but you can also go up and down the Fu River to defend against the Mongolian army from robbing the people outside the city."

Fang Yankai took a deep breath and turned to look at Jiang Chun.

I saw Jiang Chun sitting there upright, looking at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose, as if he had nothing to do with the world.

Li Xia said: "If the county magistrate and the master book cannot make a decision, you can write to ask Shi Zhizhou for his opinion. When I went to take office, I passed through Xuzhou and saw that Xuzhou was training naval forces. I think Shi Zhizhou also knew about the war. The navy is the key to this battle. "

Fang Yankai fell silent again, twirling his long beard, speechless for a long time.

Since he consciously served as the chief secretary of Qingfu and the county captain, he has raised the military equipment of the lower county to a tight county, maintained law and order, and done an excellent job... But why didn't he think of this?

Li Xia didn't speak, just sat down in the guest seat and waited quietly.

Until a long time later, the candle "popped".

Fang Yankai raised his head and looked at Li Xia with a sluggish expression.

"Why didn't Li Xianwei write a letter to Zhizhou himself?"

"Shi Zhizhou has a prejudice against me." Li Xia said: "I proposed it, but he was suspicious. It would be more beneficial for the matter to have the county magistrate and the chief book jointly write the paper."

Jiang Chun waved his hand and said, "Fei Yu, don't talk nonsense like that, how could Zhizhou have prejudice against you?"

Li Xia said: "Not only the Shi Zhizhou, but also the county magistrate and the head book have prejudice against me. There is no need to hide this matter. The important thing is that the war is imminent, and we must focus on the war when we are guarding the side."

Jiang Chun was taken aback, extremely embarrassed.

It felt like being stabbed in the face by Li Xia's sword.

I've been an official for eleven years, this is the first time I've seen someone so aggressive, how could he be an official?
Fang Yankai's complexion was gray and defeated, and he remained silent again.

Only Li Xia took off the cover of harmony, but he himself seemed to be fine.

"You two have no right to dismiss me. I don't care if I have prejudices or not. In the future when we talk to each other, we should be less hypocritical and just talk about the navy. What concerns do you two have? Why don't you speak up?"

"Severe words, serious words." Jiang Chun waved his hands and laughed, "What Feiyu said seems young and vigorous, and she has lost her demeanor..."

"Okay." Fang Yankai said suddenly, "Then let's speak bluntly."

"Master, please tell me."

"Li Xianwei is not worried that the credit goes to me?"

"do not worry."

"Why?"

"I traveled thousands of miles to Sichuan not for such small merits."

"Li Xianwei is not worried that the power of the navy will belong to me?"

"Don't worry." Li Xia said: "Maintaining the law and order of a county, dredging water conservancy, patrolling roads, defending the land against enemies, etc., are all the duties of the county lieutenant. Today, the owner of the house can't trust me, and he doesn't want to entrust his military equipment. He will trust me in the future , I will entrust myself."

"What if I can't trust you all the time?"

Li Xia looked at Fang Yankai calmly, his eyes were confident, and the meaning was self-evident.

Fang Yankai squinted his eyes and turned his head to avoid his gaze.

Li Xia looked at the table again, and saw that there were meals on it, only half used.

"Maybe I would like to say one more thing. The owner of the house has two jobs. It is really hard work, but the food must be eaten well. People are iron, and food is steel."

"This matter...let me discuss it with the county magistrate."

"Alright, then please think about it, I'll ask you tomorrow morning." Li Xia stood up, cupped his hands, and said, "Don't bother me."

After he finished speaking, he left the study quite freely.

In the room, Fang Yankai sighed deeply.

"Huh, this kind of madman is also worthy of being an official?" Jiang Chun said, his eyes fell on the map, consciously embarrassed, and after a long time he said: "What do you think of the official script?"

"He said, build a navy to meet the enemy, and share the credit with you and me."

"This……"

"In terms of structure and bearing, I'm afraid I'll lose in a mess."

"Is there any fraud?"

Fang Yankai didn't answer, but just took out the half-written letter from Jiang Wei from his sleeve.

If you want to play the matter of preparing for the construction of the navy, you can't sue Li Xia again.

Otherwise, put the two matters together in front of Zhizhou, and then wait for Zhizhou to hear that it is Li Xia's claim... I'm afraid I can't bear to look directly at the attitude of the situation that has already been completely lost.
