Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 431 is your chance

Meng Changqing followed Wei Fangyun's gaze and looked out the window, only to see the sky gradually darkening.

"I came here just to see you. We must say goodbye between uncle and nephew." After Wei Fangyun said this, Meng Changqing immediately stood up to apologize.

Wei Fangyun said: "Let's not talk about these. Seeing that you are doing well and Beishan County is getting better and better, I have nothing to worry about."

At this time, Bafang knocked on the study door and stood outside the door and said loudly: "Sir, dinner is ready."

Meng Changqing invited, "Uncle, please move over, let's eat and talk."

"No." Wei Fangyun sat on the chair without moving. "I'll leave after I finish speaking. If there's a chance in the future, please treat me to this meal again."

Obviously there is something else behind this statement.

Meng Changqing just said that there will definitely be a chance.

"I have something to tell you." Wei Fangyun smiled and shook his head, "I'm not sure whether it's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Uncle, please speak frankly."

"Last year, after you wiped out the mountain bandits, you wrote a letter to the court asking for merit for Yang Zheng and others. The court recognized Yang Zheng's ability and intended to promote him to the rank of Right General, but he had to go with me to the south." Wei Fangyun said, "After all, he has been with you for more than two years, and you have always trusted and relied on him. I wonder what you think about this matter."

Meng Changqing suppressed his emotions and immediately replied: "Of course it's a good thing!

I still remember that when you took me to Weishan Camp to select people, Brother Yang was willing to follow me from the beginning. After coming to my side, he trusted me very much and did his best to work for me in the past two years.

I, Meng Changqing, am not an ungrateful villain, so how could I hinder Brother Yang's career? "

At this point, Meng Changqing bowed to Wei Fangyun and said, "Yang Zheng is a man of great martial arts, steady and reliable. Uncle, please make good use of his talent and live up to his sincere desire to serve the country."

Wei Fangyun stepped forward and helped Meng Changqing up. "I understand. You are sincere to others. It is my luck to be able to make friends with you."

"Uncle, what you said really humiliates Changqing."

"This is the truth." Wei Fangyun said, "From now on, you and I will be in the south and the north, and I don't know if we will meet again. If we are lucky, and meet in the court in a dozen years, will you still recognize me as your uncle?"

Just as Meng Changqing was about to speak, Wei Fangyun burst into laughter, "Just kidding, just kidding! Don't take it too seriously."

Wei Fangyun took a step to leave, but suddenly stopped when he reached the door of the study.

He turned to Meng Changqing and whispered, "I have inquired for you. The next governor of Liangzhou is named Liu Dexiang. He was originally the magistrate of Gucheng County in the Central Plains. He has no background in the court and has a kind personality. He should be a good person to talk to."

"Thank you uncle for taking care of Changqing."

Wei Fangyun waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

"Uncle." Meng Changqing caught up with him, "Why don't we have dinner here before going back?"

The two men walked very quickly. The Beishan County government office was too small, so they were out of the gate within just two or three sentences.

Outside the door, Wei Fangyun's followers were waiting with horses. "No, there are only a few days left, and there are still many things to deal with in the government office and the camp." Wei Fangyun said, and decisively got on the horse and left.

Meng Changqing saluted and waited for the person to walk a distance before letting go and standing up straight.

"Sir." Yang Zheng hurried out and asked worriedly, "Is it about the grain collection?"

Meng Changqing shook his head and said, "Go to the study. I have something to tell you."

Yang Zheng was worried and curious, but he did not ask in a hurry. Instead, he changed the tea and poured a cup for Meng Changqing and himself respectively.

Then he said, "Sir, is this a difficult matter?"

Meng Changqing picked up the teacup and smiled, "It may be a little difficult for me, but it's a good thing for you."

Yang Zheng was puzzled.

"You have made great contributions in clearing out the bandits, and the court wants to use you." Meng Changqing said, "It is indeed a bit sudden to tell you now, but I just learned the news.

The pirates in the south have become a major concern for the court. The court is planning to promote you to the rank of Right General and let you follow Lord Wei to the south."

Yang Zheng was stunned for a full cup of tea.

Meng Changqing said, "Go back and inform your family quickly, pack your bags, and leave with Lord Wei so that they can take care of you on the way."

"This..." Yang Zheng was surprised and puzzled, "How could it be?"

"Why not?" Meng Changqing asked back, "The court is in need of talents right now, and you have such ability, so it's normal for you to be valued."

Too many emotions were swirling in Yang Zheng's heart. At this moment, facing Meng Changqing, the only thing he felt was the sadness of the impending separation. "But I have never thought about leaving Beishan County."

Leaving behind the familiar environment and the people I'm used to getting along with, and going to a strange place, I think I would feel a little nervous.

"I understand your reluctance to leave Beishan County," Meng Changqing said. "You watched as the houses here were built bit by bit, and you and your brothers brought back the people one car at a time. You put so much effort into this place, so it's normal for you to feel reluctant to leave.

But no matter how reluctant you are, you have to give it up. This is your chance.

How many chances do you have to be valued by your superiors when you have no one behind you? How can you miss them?
Go back and think about it carefully. "

Yang Zheng had no idea how he got out of the county government office, but when he came to his senses and saw himself at the gate of his own home, he was filled with joy. Thinking of what he was going to say to his wife later, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Bafang listened to the conversation between Meng Changqing and Yang Zheng outside. When he came in with dinner, he couldn't help but worry about Meng Changqing, "Captain Yang is gone, who can replace him?"

Meng Changqing said: "Cheng Guang and Zuo Datou are both fine. As for you and Lai Cai, I am not worried about hiring people."

"Master, didn't you ask Lord Yang to send someone to follow Hong Sifang? What if Lord Yang tells Lord Wei about this?"

"He won't." Meng Changqing was certain. "Yang Zheng is a smart man. If he doesn't say anything, it has nothing to do with him. But if he does, it will only cause trouble for him. Who would dare to use someone who betrays his former master?"
