Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 259 Because of the official uniform
When people get along with each other, even among relatives, there will be times when they say something wrong and get secretly angry, let alone the relationship between Meng Changqing and Zhang Yuan.

The two men said a lot of bad things about each other in their hearts, but the next moment they went up the city wall in a friendly manner.

Most of the time, Meng Changqing would become what kind of person she met. Zhang Yuan maintained the dignity between the two of them, and Meng Changqing would not embarrass the other party.

On the city wall, the rotation and positions of the guards remained the same as before. Meng Changqing asked about the arrangements for road construction, and Zhang Yuan said, "Road construction only takes up the soldiers' rest time, so everything remains unchanged."

Meng Changqing slowed down his pace and asked, "Captain Zhang, when he first entered the military camp, he also did guard duty, right?"

Zhang Yuan nodded, "Of course."

"Captain Zhang must have known that although this job doesn't seem tiring, it is mentally taxing. If you relax for a moment, you might miss something you should have noticed.

They are in such a critical position, and any negligence may lead to irreparable consequences.

If they repair the road when they should be resting, who can guarantee that they will be energetic when they are on duty?"

“Sir, you may not understand that our Liangzhou soldiers have always done this when building roads, and I have never heard of any consequences caused by this reason.

Look at the rows of people on the wall. Even if one person is careless, the people next to him will not be so careless. Besides, there are special people guarding the beacon tower, and those people are not involved in road construction.

My Lord, you have never been in the army, so you don’t know these people. Even if you don’t ask them to repair the road, they may not be energetic enough to serve on duty.”

Zhang Yuan had a series of reasons, citing both conventions and analyzing reality.

After hearing this, Meng Changqing decisively admitted defeat, "My thoughts are not good enough, let's just follow your arrangement."

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but smile, but quickly suppressed her emotions, "Yes." Meng Changqing stood on the city wall. It was winter when she came here last time. Looking down from here, everything was covered with snow.

There were more things to do in the government office, and she hadn't been to the city wall for a long time. This shouldn't have been like this, or maybe she was not used to the current intensity of work, and there were omissions in the arrangements.

Looking at the campsite below the city wall, where houses and tents were mixed together, Meng Changqing was thinking about making a schedule when he got back.

Before she finished thinking about what was in her mind, she heard Zhang Yuan behind her say, "Jie Wan, the man from the Xue Ye tribe, should come on time. When you are not here, I will not talk too much to him, but you should still follow the instructions from above and try your best to satisfy the savage's request."

Meng Changqing came back to his senses and listened attentively to what the other party was saying.

"It's just that wild man. I think he's getting better and better. The last time he came, he was riding a horse and his clothes were very clean. Standing next to his followers, the difference is quite obvious.

I think he is full. Do you know what he asked me for last time? "

"what?"

"He asked me for clothes to wear, not the ones we gave him before, but nice-looking, colorful ones, with the outer hem able to flutter in the breeze." Zhang Yuan still finds it funny when he thinks about it now, "A captive kept outside actually thinks he has the right to make demands on us."

As Meng Changqing listened, she suddenly understood why this man had been staring at her when he was captured and brought to the camp.

It was actually because of her official uniform.

The official uniform of the seventh-rank county magistrate was made of green silk. The winter uniform of the dynasty was just an extra layer of jacket under the normal uniform. The outermost layer of the jacket would flutter in the wind.

It turns out that she is such a beauty-loving person.
