Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 478 Still a Saint
As soon as Meng Changqing left, the curtain on the north side of the living room began to move.

Mao Chunfang came out and saw that Liu Dexiang was in a bad mood. She smiled softly and said, "Calm down, sir. Lord Meng is young and full of energy, so it is inevitable that he speaks frivolously. After all, he is not the same kind of person as us, so don't take it to heart."

Liu Dexiang looked at him and said, "Master Mao, this is true."

Mao Chunfang took the small teapot from the old servant and bent down to add tea for Liu Dexiang.

"Master Mao, please take a seat." Liu Dexiang's expression had just improved when he saw Wen Gong on the table again. He snorted coldly, "Look at what's written here!"

Mao Chunfang was not shy and took it to look at it. After reading it, he commented: "When Lord Meng built the city wall, although the court did not reward him, the people at the border praised him a lot, and even the officials from all over Liangzhou looked up to him.

I think he can't achieve anything else, so he can only cling to this wall.

It should be repaired every year to remind others not to forget his contribution. "

Liu Dexiang's eyes moved, and he asked Mao Chunfang with a smile, "Master Mao, do you think Meng Changqing built the city wall just for merit?"

Mao Chunfang immediately understood what Liu Dexiang meant and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that."

"This government never believes that there are people in the world who are willing to do business at a loss." Liu Dexiang said very confidently, with a smile on his face that was a bit ironic, "I heard that the official road in Beishan County was paid for by Meng Changqing personally. He is just a small county magistrate, and even if his family has some savings, he can't come up with so much money.

What is the truth? Whether he paid or received money, only he knows.

I have seen the city wall with my own eyes. It is far from being in need of repair. Why is it necessary to repair it every year?

Whenever there was a move, the manpower and money involved were all places that could be manipulated. How determined was Meng Changqing to not get involved in anything?
At such a young age, he is already a saint!"

"Your Excellency is right." Mao Chunfang agreed, "Even if he is younger, he is not so stupid as to not even want the money."

"Hahaha." Liu Dexiang laughed very politely. As he laughed, he suddenly remembered, "This Meng Changqing came to see me, but he didn't mention anything I told him to do. It's obvious that he doesn't care about me at all. He just relies on the relationship with the crown prince."

Mao Chunfang pretended not to know and asked Liu Dexiang, "Sir, is this Lord Meng related to the prince?"

Liu Dexiang met his gaze and said, "Given the relationship between Lord Mao and Minister Feng, doesn't he know the background of Meng Changqing?" His words were full of temptation and sarcasm.

"Although I often correspond with Lord Feng, I don't care about other people's affairs." Mao Chunfang found an excuse for himself, and then said: "I have always believed that the reason why Lord Meng was able to become the county magistrate was all thanks to his father. Could it be that the prince also had a hand in this?"

When Liu Dexiang thought of the reply from the capital and heard Mao Chunfang bragging about his relationship with Feng Zhongan, he just felt amused.

Laugh at Mao Chunfang, he is so conceited and arrogant.

Who doesn't want his ally to have a higher official position? With him as the prefect around, why would Minister Feng bother with Mao Chunfang, a small county magistrate?

According to what was said in the letter, Mao Chunfang has already been abandoned.

In that case, he wouldn't mind talking more intimately with Mao Chunfang.

"Meng Changqing was once the prince's tutor," Liu Dexiang said. "He came to Beishan County at the prince's behest, in order to accumulate merit so that he could continue to serve the prince in the future."
