Wang Changling, whose courtesy name was Shaobo, was from Chang'an, Jingzhao. He was poor and humble in his early years. He was almost in a state of great confusion and was finally promoted to Jinshi. He was appointed as the proofreader of the Secretariat and later appointed as the Sishuiwei. He was demoted to Lingnan due to his affairs. He returned to Chang'an at the end of the Kaiyuan period and was promoted to Jiangning. He was a righteous man and dared to speak out. Later, he was repeatedly demoted and is now the county magistrate of Yibin County.

Li Qing heard that the county magistrate was Wang Changling, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty. He seemed to have stepped on the air and took the famous post in a daze. On a plain paper, he wrote three words of powerful and powerful characters: Wang Changling.

He has been in the Tang Dynasty for two years and has met Yang Guozhong, Lady of Guoguo, Zhang Qiu Jianqiong, and Xian Yu Zhongtong. They are all famous people in history, but they all add up to the three words "Wang Changling" and "The Mingyue in the Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty". He read the poem he read in his father's arms when he was young, and its author actually brought him a quilt.

******************

It was already late at night, and Li Qing returned to the banquet. He was full of doubts. The drunken sentence of the Tang County Magistrate, "Only the sour scholars can be killed" revealed the profound conflict between him and Wang Changling. What caused the conflict between the two? Why did the county magistrate ignore it? What made Li Qing even more confused was that the confidants of the Tang County Magistrate, all of whom looked fierce, even made a few gangsters from time to time. Who were they?

As soon as Li Qing entered the room, the curtain came out, "Why did the young master come back? Someone is looking for you. I have been waiting in the study room for almost an hour."

"Look for me?" He had just arrived in Yibin County, and the people and land were unfamiliar. Why did someone look for him? He suddenly realized and asked anxiously: "What kind of person is it, and how old is it?"

"It's an old man in his fifties. When asked for his name, he refused to say it, just said you know."

Before the curtain could finish speaking, Li Qing rushed into the study. It must be him, Wang Changling.

Li Qing's study was next to the living room. Because there were no bookshelfs, the books he brought were just piled up in mess. Li Qing pushed the door into the room and saw someone reading under the lamp. His hair was gray, his skin was dark, and his back was slightly hunched. If he hadn't been wearing a white brocade robe, Li Qing would have thought that some old country farmer had taken the wrong path.

"Li Qing didn't know that Mr. Yuhu was coming, so he had to wait for a long time." He glanced at him and found that Wang Changling was actually looking at "Zhenguan Zheng Yao".

The visitor was Wang Changling. He angered the powerful prime minister Li Linfu because he wrote to the court that he lost control of the land. He was demoted to Yibin County Magistrate from Jiangning County Magistrate two years ago. He had just rushed back from Nanxi County, so he came to visit Li Qing. Unexpectedly, he was still one step too late and learned that Li Qing had been invited away by Tang Sheng.

When he heard Li Qing call him Mr. Yuhu, Wang Changling was slightly stunned and then realized that he was referring to his "A piece of ice heart in Yuhu", which was a kind of implicit respect. He laughed and said, "Some people call him the old man Changling, some call him Shaobo, and more call him Wang Jiangning. I didn't expect that today I got the gangster number, Wang Yuhu, which is really interesting."

He stood up and bowed to Li Qinggong and said, "I am Wang Changling, the county magistrate of this county, and I am really sorry to disturb Li Zhubo's rest so late."

"You are polite sir, please sit down!"

Seeing that the tea on the table was cold, Li Qing turned around and shouted, "Xiaoyu, brew a pot of tea and use the Mengding tea I bought last time."

After a moment, Xiaoyu put the tea on the table and replaced the old tea.

Li Qing smiled and said, "This is what I brought Mengding tea from Chengdu. Please taste the tea and see how it tastes?"

A bright color flashed across Wang Changling's eyes, then he picked up the teacup, blew a lightly, teared it carefully, and praised it repeatedly: "Not bad! Not bad! The half cup of the combined seat is light green, and the number of slices is light yellow. This is the best among the three-grade tea in Mengding. I heard that it is priced at 100 liang in Chengdu, and it is priceless. Li Zhubo is indeed extraordinary. I have been interested in this tea for a long time, but I am short of money and can't wait for it. I didn't expect to drink it here, which is worth the trip! Haha!"

Li Qingyi smiled and said, "Although I have money in my bag, I have no knowledge in my belly. This tea has been ruined by me. I have one pound of it. I am willing to share half a pound with Mr. Yuhu. I wonder if I can accept it with laughter?"

Wang Changling laughed, "I was willing to push such a good thing away from me, but my throat didn't dry. I stopped it! I stopped it!"

Li Qing called Xiaoyu anxiously and said, "Pick one of my two bottles covered with the top."

He sat down and asked again, "I wonder what advice is there for you to come tonight?"

Wang Changling smiled slightly on his face and pondered for a moment: "Does Master Li know why I will accept your tea?"

Seeing that Li Qing did not answer, he picked up the "Zhenguan Zheng Yao" casually, "It's this book. If I touched a lewd poem and essay, even if you give me a hundred pounds of top-notch, you won't want me to accept it."

He turned to the chapter "Ten Thoughts on Advising Emperor Taizong" and said: "The eleventh thought below is written by you, "Tikong people's wealth"! It is said very well, and it is very well spoken, and it hits the disadvantages of the dynasty in one sentence."

Wang Changling put down his book, looked solemn, and walked slowly to the window and said, "Everyone said that Kaiyuan's prosperous era is a prosperous era. There is no way to know that the prosperous era is just a prosperous era of the government, but below is the suffering of the people. Look at the past few years, land annexation and slavery have become a trend, which is getting worse every year. In the long run, the land is possessed by a few people, wealth is occupied by a few people, the government has no money, and the people have no food, which will sooner or later cause a disaster."

He sighed again and said coldly: "But the people who are now at the top are greedy for luxury and are very happy to be successful. So, now, to put down a small tribal rebellion, consume half of Jiannan Road's warehouse, as well as big food, Tubo, and Uighurs. Even if we don't eat or drink, we can't afford millions of soldiers!"

"Although my words are reasonable, they cannot be generalized by any means. Li Qing thought that attacking eastern Yunnan was for the benefit of the country, but it was not a great pleasure to be successful. It was to prevent Nanzhao from advancing eastward. Although raising troops consumed food and money, a country without soldiers was sad for three lifetimes. All nations worshiped each other. How many people came to attack Song Xiang's benevolence."

Li Qing suddenly thought that the two Song dynasties, which had been weak for a hundred years, had only one million soldiers, and were also destroyed by foreign races. The prosperity of the Tang Dynasty lies in its military strength. It is not too many of them that defended thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. The key is that it must have corresponding economic foundation support.

Wang Changling shook his head and said, "You are wrong. It is not because of the benevolence and righteousness in eastern Yunnan. On the contrary, if it were not for the cruelty of Zhu Lingqian, would the people in eastern Yunnan rebell? If benevolence and righteousness are not used, the offensive and defensive momentum is different, which arouses civil unrest, but does not know how to use benevolence to appease them. Instead, they complain to them with swords and weapons. I think the people will be uneasy and will sooner or later make a wedding dress for Nanzhao."

Li Qing listened to his sharp analysis and unique insights. He was amazed in his heart, but his eyes stared at him and said, "Mr. Wang isn't you afraid that Li Qing will report it?"

Wang Changling suddenly stood up and stared at Li Qing and said angrily: "I, Wang Changling, are such a person. I will say something when I see injustice, so I was demoted again and again. I no longer care. At worst, I can go home to farm."

Li Qing smiled slightly, walked to the door and shouted loudly, "Xiaoyu, bring another bottle too."

"Listen to your words is better than reading for ten years. Li Qing dares not share this top-notch quality with his husband again. Give it all to him!"

Wang Changling's face slowed down and patted Li Qing on the shoulder and smiled: "I'm just a fierce verbal, but I can't do practical things. I heard that the new chief clerk was originally a businessman from Chengdu. He specially sent someone to Chengdu to inquire and reported that a snow-filled business war broke out on the streets of Chengdu last year. The person involved was Lord Li. What a beautiful method. I am ashamed of myself. I am very surprised and happy. If you come, you will definitely open up the situation in Yibin County."

Li Qing nodded, "I only came to Yibin County for two hours, and I had too many questions. Please help me solve them one by one."

Wang Changling savored the tea carefully, cleared his throat and said slowly: "It was not like Yibin County. Although it was not as good as Nanxi County, it also had convenient transportation and prosperous business. But since a person came, all this has been changed."

"Who is it!"

Wang Changling was really disgusted with the name and turned around: "He is the dog thief who invited you to drink today."

If Li Qing was sitting in front of him, he would definitely think that this was just a struggle between dogs and dogs, but Wang Changling, who was sitting opposite him, "But let the flying generals in Longcheng be there, it would not be called Hu Ma to cross Yinshan."

Li Qing let out a long sigh and said, "Sir, please tell me clearly!"

"This man was originally a small military officer, but somehow he cursed the way to Yizhou Governor Li Daofu. Last year, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Yibin County. He was a local, and he was even more and more like a fish in water. Over the past year, he became more and more arrogant and became more and more arrogant. He gradually became a domineering local area. Later, every store in the county had to pay him monthly money."

Li Qing suddenly realized that no wonder the things here are so expensive. It turned out that there were additional taxes, but he was just a county magistrate, commander, book, and lieutenant. He was the youngest, and there were also governors, military governors, and courts. Why didn't anyone care? He was thinking in his mind, but Wang Changling's words were heard word by word.

"But our county magistrate is another drunkard. He sleeps for twelve hours a day, four hours a day, brews for four hours, and drinks for four hours. If he has time to take charge of business, everything will fall on me and this person. If he ignores it, it would be fine if I feel tired or hard, but he just can't stand me doing things and thinks of ways to trick me. When I lead the villagers to repair the bridge during the day, he will send people to demolish the bridge at night. When I run an official school, he will send gangsters to cause trouble every day. The teacher beat him away, and the students dare not come. I hate this person to the core, but I can't do anything about it."

"Then why don't the adults cultivate some of their own power to deal with him?"

Wang Changling sighed, "He has hundreds of thugs under him. Who in the county dares to fight with him? He is protecting him? If I hadn't been a little famous, I would have died many times. Speaking of which, Lord Li might not believe it. This county lieutenant of the Tang Dynasty was actually related to the gang. I have only recently heard that he has a brother, who is said to be the master of the Emei Hall in Chengdu."

"What!" Li Qing stood up suddenly and shouted: "Emeitang!"
