Raising the Demon

Chapter 215 Give a Jade Staff to a Senior
"What is the purpose of Zhang Suo's coming here?" Zi Baifeng didn't go out here, but he heard the voice of greetings from outside the door, it was the Deputy Zhifu Lu Jiayong.Hearing his address, Zi Baifeng knew that this person should be the deputy of the camp. Lu Jiayong's tone sounded a bit eccentric, and he didn't seem to like this person very much.

"Isn't this Vice-Lord Lu Zhi?" The Vice-President was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and his voice was sharp and piercing, which made people's eardrums hurt a bit.

Zi Baifeng stretched out his finger and pressed it on the center of his eyebrows, knowing that although the aura in the front yard of the main courtyard was not very strong, he could already see clearly what was happening outside.

That Zhang Suo is a skinny man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, which makes people look disgusted. I really don't know how to achieve this position.

The two came and went, and fought tit for tat for a few words, and then Zhang Suo said: "I heard that Zhizheng Yuan has a new Zhizheng, and happened to pass by here, so I came to visit."

"Master Zhizheng is busy with business and has no time to see guests." Lu Jiayong sneered, and said, "Vice Zhang is so leisurely, it seems that the camp is really a place for the aged. In two or thirty years, I will also be transferred there. The camp is ready."

"Welcome, welcome. There will definitely be a vacancy in the camp at that time...but I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until then, Mr. Lu. The completion rate of Dongting Zhizhengyuan has not reached the standard for four consecutive years. In ten days, this year's completion The reporting rate is about to stop. I don’t know what the completion rate of Dongting Zhizhengyuan is this year? If it doesn’t meet the completion standard this year, your new Zhizheng will probably not be punished. The former Zhizheng also left the mess and ran away. But you, the deputy in charge of repairs, are afraid that you will be doomed... Well, when the time comes to come to our camp to be a small clerk, it will be good to provide for the elderly."

Zi Baifeng frowned, the completion rate...meaning the rate of completion of repairs?Zi Baifeng felt something was wrong, he got up and searched for the documents from the previous few years, his brows became pimples.

Zhuan'er country has a vast land and rich resources, and communication is inconvenient. All kinds of reports and documents were counted from September of that year. Like the remote Mengcheng border, they were rushed to Xijing, and it was the end of the year.And now it's the end of September, and it's almost October.

However, the completion rate of the camp is still red.

This deputy Zhang Suo said it well. I just took office, so I can't blame myself; the predecessor has been transferred, and I can't use the predecessor as a knife. The only person who may be used as a sacrificial knife is my deputy.

If he is dismissed and replaced by a newcomer, all the three bosses of Zhizhengyuan will become newcomers. In this way, he will not be an official anymore.

Zi Baifeng is not an official fan, but the current official position can play a very important role for him.

Deputy Zhang turned and left, as if he came here on purpose to see Lu Jiayong's joke.

Seeing him leave, Lu Jiayong gritted his teeth, but he couldn't just rush up and beat him up, even if he beat him up hard, it still couldn't change the fact that the completion rate was low.

"Deputy Lu." Zi Baifeng stood at the door of the study and called.

Lu Jiayong took a deep breath, calmed down the worry on his face, and then walked towards Zi Baifeng, with that attentive smile on his face again: "Master Zhizheng!"

"Come here." Zi Baifeng waved, then turned and entered the room.

Lu Jiayong sighed and followed in.

On Zi Baifeng's desk, the completion records within five years were spread out. Lu Jiayong saw it and knew that Zi Baifeng already knew it all.

"Sit." Zi Baifeng poured tea for Lu Jiayong with his own hands, then sat down on one side by himself, and said, "I heard everything just now."

"You made me laugh." Lu Jiayong sighed, and said: "Please rest assured, my lord, just came to Zhizhengyuan, Shangfeng will definitely not blame you, my lord, the past will be borne by the lower officials."

"This is the matter of the entire Zhizhengyuan. There is no reason for you to bear it alone." Zi Baifeng shook his head.

If there is any characteristic of Zi Baifeng, it is to protect his weaknesses.

His people, his territory, it's not up to others to point fingers, not to mention, many things in the middle are obviously tricky.

"My lord, you must have heard that there are still ten days to report the completion rate. Now that we have reported the repair, there are still 43 places that have not been completed here. Even if we want to repair, it is too late, let alone Guo. Xunzheng is sick at home..." Lu Jiayong has already resigned to his fate, "Besides, there are several of these places under the jurisdiction of the camp. It doesn't matter if I lose my official title, the key is not to weaken the reputation of our Zhizhengyuan ..."

"I heard that you were born in the old Zhizhengyuan?" Zi Baifeng asked.

"Yes, my father once served in Zhizhengyuan, and I grew up in Zhizhengyuan." Lu Jiayong said.

Zi Baifeng nodded, but did not speak.

For monks, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye.Because monks are the leaders of this world, the rhythm of the whole world has been stretched by monks. For ordinary people, three or five generations have worked and lived in the same place. Father and son, grandparents and grandchildren have the same colleagues and friends. It's a very normal thing.

This feeling is not obvious in places like Mengcheng, but in Xijing, it is really hard to ignore.

Lu Jiayong grew up in such an environment. His grandfather and father were both officials of Zhizhengyuan, which was somewhat similar to Ge Touer's situation.

Living in the same circle for several generations and hundreds of years, the feelings and sense of belonging to this circle are something outsiders like Zi Baifeng cannot understand.

Although incomprehensible, it is not difficult to understand.

Therefore, Qi Xunzheng's broken leg would make Ge Tou'er so angry, so Lu Jiayong would rather lose his position than repair things for the camp.

"I will think of a way to get the best of both worlds." Zi Baifeng said, "There are still ten days to go. You can find someone to lead the team now, and after you report for repairs, go to the places that can be repaired neatly, and the rest I'll take care of it."

Lu Jiayong opened his mouth to say something, but Zi Baifeng waved his hand and said, "Go!"

"Yes, the officer has resigned!" Lu Jiayong turned around and left.

Zi Baifeng dug out the repair report, took a look, and frowned.

Waterways, land routes, rerouting, repairs, excavation, all kinds of work are endless, and all these ten days must be busy...

However, the most important problem still needs to be solved...

Zi Baifeng pondered for a moment in his heart, stretched out his hand and stroked the void a few times, as if he was simulating something, then nodded, and said: "Maybe this way...you can try it!"

Zi Baifeng left the study and walked eastward.

Calling Ge Touer, Zi Baifeng said: "Take me to see Qi Xunzheng."

Except for Zi Baifeng, the other Xunzhengs also have their own study rooms, but they are not so bright. Qi Xunzheng's study room is actually a simple room, quite far away, and there is a middle-aged The man was sawing wood outside the door, and the dark green official robe was tied around his waist, covered with wood ash.

"Brother Qi!" After a long distance, Ge Tou'er shouted: "My lord is here to see you!"

Qi Xun was hurriedly throwing down the wood in his hand, and stood up straight. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly put down his official robe, and bowed his hands to Zi Baifeng to say hello.

"Brother Qi, you don't need to be polite." Zi Baifeng stretched out his hand to support him, carefully sizing up the middle-aged man in front of him.

Qi Xunzheng is probably in his early forties, but he looks like he is 50 years old. He is not tall, but he is quite strong, his hair is a little gray, and there are deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. The quilt Baifeng held his arm, I don't know what to say, I just muttered in my mouth: "Hey, this crutch, this crutch..."

Zi Baifeng looked down, the wood he was sawing just now was a simple crutch, probably because he was not used to carpentry, the crutch was extremely rough, and there was a broken one beside it, which seemed to be just a simple one. It looks very ugly.

"Brother Qi walks every day to inspect the nearby lines, and several crutches have been broken..." Ge Tou'er said in a low voice.

"The crutches I bought are useless, so I can only make them myself." Qi Xunzheng explained in a low voice.

"Brother Qi, let me do it." Zi Baifeng smiled.

"My lord, how can this be?" Qi Xun was terrified, Zi Baifeng had already stretched out his hand, and took the rough crutch in his hand.

"No..." Zi Baifeng looked at the wood, shook his head, and said to Ge Tou'er: "Old Ge, you go to my yard and ask my father for some better wood, and you say you can make a walking stick. "

Ge Tou'er turned around and ran away, and arrived with a few pieces of wood in his arms after a while.

Zi Baifeng took a few pieces of wood and looked at them. With a flick of his palm, the beam of moon turned into a short blade. The blade was extremely thin and sharp. It didn't look like a knife, but like a thin piece of ice.

Three times, five times and two times, a few pieces of wood have been cut into shape, Zi Baifeng simply put them together, and made a crutch for the disabled that was often seen in the previous life. Complicated, no glue and no paint, but it fits perfectly, without the slightest sense of shaking.

But this is not over yet, Zi Baifeng's fingers trembled, the beam of moon in his hand glowed with dazzling brilliance, the vivid clouds steamed, the flying dragon danced wildly, Zi Baifeng's carving skills became even more exquisite.

In an instant, a carved crutch that could be called a work of art appeared in his hand.

"Brother Qi, stretch out your hand that is supporting your crutch." Zi Baifeng said.

Qi Xun was stretching out his right hand, the palm was thick and full of calluses, Zi Baifeng stretched out his hand, compared with him, nodded and said: "That's almost..."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to lightly grip and stroke the grip of the crutch, as if carved grip lines appeared on the crutch.

"The Son of Heaven engraves a jade stick, and gives it to the elders in a hollow shape. From now on, if you can ride the moon at leisure, you can knock on the door with the stick all the time." Zi Baifeng groaned loudly, and then let go, the stick bounced by itself, and it reached Qi Xunzheng. underarms.

"Come on, Brother Qi, come with me." Zi Baifeng smiled.
