The county ordered to go to the countryside
In ancient times, there was a place called Qingyun County, and the county order here was named Li Qingyun. Although Li Qingyun was born as a literati, he has a strange temper and often does some ridiculous things. On this day, on a whim, he decided to go to the countryside to personally observe the people's situation and understand the people's suffering.
Li Qingyun took a few entourages and walked out of the city all the way. Unfortunately, as soon as they reached the entrance of a village, they encountered a heavy rain. The rain was pouring in, and the group had to hurriedly find a farmhouse to take shelter from the rain.
The owner of this farmhouse is an old man named Zhang Laoliu. As soon as Zhang Laoliu saw the county magistrate coming to the cold house, he was so frightened that he hurriedly invited Li Qingyun to sit in the house. Li Qingyun was not polite, strode into the room, and sat on the chair in the hall.
Seeing this, Zhang Laoliu hurriedly instructed his wife to prepare tea and snacks. His wife, a Marian man, brought hot tea and a few small snacks in a short time. Li Qingyun took a sip of tea, nodded and praised: "Good tea, good tea!"
At this time, Zhang Laoliu's little grandson ran in and looked at this strange guest with a curious face. Li Qingyun saw that this child was smart and clever, and he liked it, so he asked him, "What is your name, and how old are you?"
The little grandson blinked his big eyes and replied in a milky voice: "My name is Xiaohu and I am five years old this year." ”
When Li Qingyun heard this, he laughed and said, "Xiaohu, what a good name!
Zhang Lao Liu listened to it from the side, wiping his sweat, thinking that this county magistrate is really good at talking, and even children praise it so well.
The rain gradually stopped, and Li Qingyun got up to say goodbye. Zhang Lao Liu hurriedly sent out the door and thanked him repeatedly. Li Qingyun waved his hand and said, "There is no need to be polite, this official is aware of the people's feelings, it is a matter of duty." ”
With that, the group got on their horses and set off and continued to the countryside. After walking not far, Li Qingyun suddenly slapped his head and shouted, "Oops, I forgot something!"
The attendants hurriedly asked, "My lord, what have you forgotten?"
Li Qingyun said: "I forgot to ask Zhang Lao Liu where their pigsty is!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at each other, thinking that this county magistrate was really strange, and he went to the countryside to observe the people's feelings, and actually cared about other people's pigsties.
Li Qingyun said seriously: "You don't understand, the pigsty is an important facility for farmers, and it is related to the livelihood of the people. If I don't ask clearly, how can I understand the people's feelings?"
Everyone had no choice but to accompany Li Qingyun back to Zhang Laoliu's house. Zhang Laoliu saw that the county commander was going and returning, and he was so frightened that he almost didn't kneel. Li Qingyun waved his hand and asked, "Zhang Laoliu, where is your pigsty?" ”
Zhang Laoliu was confused, but he still obediently took Li Qingyun to the pigsty. A few fat pigs in the pigsty were eating leisurely, Li Qingyun observed carefully, nodded and praised: "Not bad, not bad, this pig is very good." ”
After that, he asked Zhang Lao Liu: "How do you usually feed the pigs? What is the secret?"
Zhang Lao Liu couldn't cry or laugh when he was asked, so he had to answer truthfully. Li Qingyun listened with relish, and nodded yes from time to time.
The entourage shook their heads as they watched from the sidelines, thinking that this county magistrate was really getting more and more outrageous, and he was so interested in feeding pigs.
In the end, Li Qingyun left the pigsty with satisfaction and continued to go to the countryside. Zhang Lao Liu stood at the door, looking at the back of the county magistrate, and muttered to himself: "This county magistrate is really a strange person, the next time he comes, I have to hide the chickens, ducks and geese, lest he ask questions again." ”
After the news spread, the people of Qingyun County laughed and called Li Qingyun the "Pigsty County Order", and every time after tea and dinner, they always had to mention this interesting story to have fun. As for Li Qingyun himself, he didn't care about this, he still went his own way, going to the countryside from time to time to observe the people's feelings, but he never mentioned the pigsty again.
