Chapter 339

I still remember when I first arrived in Wuxiong, the water was bad and the land was remote, the people were poor and robbers were rampant, one was poor, the other was white, and the other was cold, but there were many troublesome people.

Now that the three-year period has not expired, business and travel exchanges, public and private travel are full, people are prosperous, and guest houses are also crowded.It's like changing the world.

There are some achievements, but there are also many regrets.

Wuxiong's first felt carpet exhibition scheduled to be held next month cannot be attended in person, and many finalized measures such as Kaibian City and Military Market have not yet been implemented in time.

Fortunately, someone has taken over all of these——Xiao Hu has a transfer order, which only states that Xiao Yuandu will return to Jiyuan, but the new Wu Xiong order has not yet been selected.Xiao Yuandu appointed Cheng Ping to temporarily act as Yiying's government affairs, and it was more reassuring to entrust him to complete the unfinished business.

After the news of his imminent resignation came out, the wealthy households in the city and officials of all sizes were not surprised.From the first day he took office, everyone knew that he would not stay here for a long time, and he has been here for nearly three years, which has greatly exceeded expectations.

However, there was still a little shock at the sudden arrival. It is not clear whether there was any reluctance for this Shangguan in this shock, but there must be worries about the future of Wuxiong City and his own future.

According to the past practice, when a Shangguan resigns, he must give some affordable gifts, but the other party is Xiao Yuandu, no one dares to deliver it.

But he didn't express anything, and it didn't seem appropriate, so he boldly proposed a banquet.

Jiang Fosang also received a lot of invitations, and he had no time to go to them one by one, so he simply held a banquet in the back garden of the government office, and the male guests and the female guests were separated, and they entertained each other.

The banquet was different from the past, there was no need to be trembling, everyone drank and laughed to their heart's content, and the host and guest enjoyed together.

The atmosphere on the female side was naturally more harmonious than that on the male side.

During the dinner, I saw the second wife of the Zhao family, chatted for a while, and learned that her brother-in-law will soon remarry, and the wedding date is set at the end of the year.

Jiang Fusang couldn't help but think of Mrs. Zhen who died for the whole festival, her bones should have been completely cooled.

In the next few days, Xiao Yuandu was busy handing over the files, while Jiang Fosang was busy packing.

The few shops opened in the city are still open, but the shopkeepers and shop assistants have been replaced by Wuxiong locals, who have been trained earlier, so as not to panic when this day comes.Her people will go back to Jiyuan with her, they only need to come over regularly for inspections.

On the day of leaving the city, I deliberately got up early, and it was only dawn when the convoy arrived at the west gate.

As the city gate opened little by little, Calamus covered his lips and exclaimed: "My lady!"

Jiang Fosang also noticed the abnormality, opened the window and looked, but saw villagers in sackcloth and rough clothes standing on both sides of the road ahead.Although the clothes were not gorgeous, they were clean, some of them were brand new, apparently specially changed for the grand occasion.

Jiang Fusang even saw the old man's family, Hu Nujin, A Fen's mother and daughter, Da Cang... and many other familiar faces in the crowd.

Without exception, the shoes of these people were already wet with dew, and they obviously set off early, and those who were far away might have walked most of the night, led by the township chief Lili, all the way, just to see them off.

Seeing them appear, the cheers suddenly shook the sky.

Xiao Yuandu rode in front of him on horseback, and he couldn't help being startled when he saw such a scene.

At this moment, there was a noise from behind the convoy. It was the people in the city.

The inside and outside of the city instantly became one piece.There were more and more people, and the crowd was so passionate that the government soldiers had to step forward to maintain order.

"Magistrate, madam, do you really have to leave Wu Xiong?"

"Do you have to go? Can you not go? Stay!"

"Yeah, stay here..."

The road was congested and it was difficult for the convoy to travel. Facing a panicked face and hearing a series of cordial voices to stay, Xiao Yuandu was surprisingly impatient, but his chest felt a little congested.

Whenever he had nothing to say, his facial contours would subconsciously tighten, making him look a bit stern.Those who didn't know the inside story thought it was a sign that he was about to get angry, but Jiang Fusang knew that he probably hadn't experienced this kind of scene where all the people were sent off, and he was not good at dealing with it.

Then someone handed a sentence to Cheng Ping who was following the convoy.

Cheng Ping quickly squeezed to the front, shouting something like "Calm down everyone, whether to go or stay is not up to the county magistrate Xiao", "Magistrate Xiao is only leaving temporarily, but his heart is with the people of Wuxiong" , "Even if County Magistrate Xiao leaves, he won't ignore everyone"...

Xiao Yuandu listened to his teeth sorely, and raised his hand to interrupt him.

Pairs of expectant eyes immediately looked at him, expecting what he could say.

Xiao Yuandu frowned, opened it immediately, cleared his throat, and said: "After I leave, everything will be as usual. If you are bullied or injustice or have a difficult problem, you can find Cheng Ping. If Cheng Ping can't help you Back up, you can go to Jiyuan to find me."

It has only been a few years since the good times, and after all, what the people are looking forward to is "everything as usual".

Knowing that his departure is a foregone conclusion, and now they have his promise, the people changed their previous excitement and raised their sleeves to wipe away their tears.

The road is finally cleared.

The convoy drove out of the city gate slowly, and people knelt down wherever they passed.

"County magistrate, ma'am, let's go, remember to come back often..."

There was also a clear and childish voice: "Madam! I will definitely become a great medical officer!"

Jiang Fosang couldn't help being moved.Through the open window, he waved to both sides, and what he got in return was a response like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

The city gate was getting further and further away, but the people did not disperse immediately, but followed the convoy silently.After following for more than ten miles, there are still people kneeling and praying to the gods devoutly for them...

Xiao Yuandu was a little silent.

Yesterday was the last day he was on duty in the Wuxiong government office. With Cheng Ping as the leader, all the scribes from Cao Fang gathered in the second hall, and asked him to leave some ink treasures as an instruction.

At the time of Kaimeng, Xiao Yuanyin was strict in control, and Xiao Yuandu had a good foundation. Even if it was abandoned later, the handwriting was still readable, but calligraphy...

What to write?

Do you want to be honest and obedient and do things honestly?
It is not impossible.

Just after dipping in the ink, when he heard that Cheng Ping wanted to make couplets of his calligraphy and hang them on both sides of the hall, Xiao Yuandu put down his pen with a stern face, and went back to the inner house on the grounds that he had something to do.

"Wear the clothes of the common people and eat the food of the common people. There is no way that the common people can be bullied, but you are also the common people. It is not honorable to win an official, and it is not humiliating to lose an official. Don't say that an official is useless. The local government depends on an official."

Jiang Nu helped him think it over without blinking an eye, she only said that she heard it from elsewhere.

Xiao Yuandu didn't think much of it at the time, and directly gave it to Cheng Ping, but now that he thinks about it, he has a different feeling.

However, his meditation only lasted for less than half a day, and Zhongshang came alive again as usual.

I have to admit that apart from being slightly reluctant to leave Wu Xiong, he was actually relieved.

The burden that lay in my heart seemed to be thrown away.At least, for the time being, you can stop thinking about it.

Once the burden is unloaded, it is inevitable to get distracted.

 The other one will be later, if there is time.
