I’m Walking the Career Line In Dog Blood

    Dingsha County is the most corner of the country in Qiguo, with a permanent population of no more than 30,000. Seventy percent of the county's poor population is hungry, and the illiteracy rate is as high as % Ninety-nine.

    However, in the past two years, the name of this small remote county has frequently appeared in the ears of the people of Beijing and other wealthy areas.

    In the beginning, it was because the magistrate of Dingsha County wrote the script, "The Legend of Heroes of the Desert".

    It is not strange for a scholar to write a script, and he wants to make a living, but he is a dignified government official, a county magistrate of the seventh rank, and a civil servant who was born in the eight classics. If he writes a script, it is an insult to the gentleman. !

    Therefore, many people scolded him and despised him. His classmates in the same year (jinshi) and classmates did not understand him. But more people are curious, wondering how the words book written by the magistrate who was a jinshi is different from the words book written by the Luodi scholar who failed the exam.

    Anyway, this book is not expensive, so they bought one, which is the first volume of "Desert Heroes", "Devil City".

    Many people still buy the hardcover book with twenty line drawing illustrations by the magistrate.

    "What's wrong with the magistrate of Dingsha County? Why did he put down the beginning of the book at the end of each book, and then just didn't tell what happened next? Is it interesting to torture people like this?"

    The onlookers did not know whether the magistrate of Dingsha County was interesting or not. Anyway, this book is very interesting. Left behind by the pony carriage of the times.

    One book every two months, six books a year, each book has innovation, not only the heroic spirit, the love of children, but also the desert scenery and different scenes that can be imagined through words. A bizarre and bizarre legend.

    It doesn’t matter if you don’t know much, the magistrate of Dingsha County has also made a version of the “Little Man Book” for young people. The illustrations in it are exquisite and can be called works of art.

    I have to say that the painting skills of the magistrate of Dingsha County are also really good.

    The elderly, youth, teenagers, men and women, as long as they can read a little, are its audiences.

    This book became popular, and even the key items that appeared in it became popular.

    For example, the love grass of the hero and heroine - desert rose.

    The reason why it is called a rose is because its leaves gather together to look like a rose, and some people say it looks like a lotus. Of course, according to the magistrate of Dingsha County, these plants have a cute nickname called succulents, because their leaves are not flat like those of the Central Plains plants, but plump, succulent, and fleshy.

    After that, the 'succulent' from the far northwest became the 'dream plant' of many people.

    The merchants from Dingsha County brought a truckload of 'succulents', and they also set up shops and plantations here, what's 'wasong' and 'sedum' among them, people from the Central Plains If you don’t understand, just buy a novelty and a trend. Anyway, the price is not expensive, and even the plants come with cute little pots, which is the price of a meal.

    There are many succulent varieties: 'tassel pine', 'tahua pine', 'blunt-leaf pine'... Not to mention, the small leaves are wrapped together, it really seems to be budding put flowers.

    People from the southwest region look very familiar. They say that we also have some succulents. They look like lotus flowers. They are all over the walls and roofs.

    But if others don't recognize it, they recognize the Dingsha County succulent used by the hero and heroine in "Heroes of the Desert".

    'Succulent' is not fresh yet, and I heard that there is a kind of cattle in Dingsha County, black-haired and short-horned cattle. I heard that this kind of cattle is a unique breed in Dingsha. , not good at farming, but grows fast, matures early, and has good meat quality.

    Yes, this is the 'Snowflake Cow' that appeared in "Heroes of the Desert" again. Eighty horses refused to change it. The description of this kind of beef in the text still reminds me of it Drooling yet.

    The county magistrate played once a month, and it took a year and a half to finally apply for this "Meat Tribute Beef - Dingsha Snow Beef". Inspired by him, it is said that the whole country is looking for cattle suitable for meat.

    It's great that cattle can be divided into farm and beef cattle based on breed - say beef lovers.

    The merchants in Dingsha County later brought this beef cattle, which are said to be tender and juicy.

    It's really expensive, the four grades of Tiandi Xuanhuang, the lowest rated 'Yellow Grade Snowflake Cattle' are twice as expensive as the cultivated cattle. But it's also really delicious. The fat like snowflakes is dotted in the bright red meat. When it is cooked and bitten, the juice splashes and there is a milky fragrance.

    "Our Dingsha Snowflake cattle in Dingsha County can't be raised in random places. We have to choose the best breeding cattle to match them, eat the grass specially grown for them, drink The specially transported mountain spring water has to be fed millet for more than 100 days before it is put into the slaughter. Moreover, there must be a special person to massage it every day, so that such a good cow can be produced.”

    Diners widened their eyes and immediately thought that the beef was expensive, but it was worth it!

    The businessman in Dingsha County took out a list issued by the Dingsha County government: "Snowflake cattle can only produce 60 heads a year, and each head has such an 'identity certificate' with a serial number on it. , there is a seal stamped by the county government.

    “Who is its mother, who is its father, when it was born, who the breeder is, whether it is sick, who bought it for, and when it was slaughtered, there are records. ', it's not our serious Dingsha Snowflake Cow."

    In addition to the Dingsha Snowflake Cattle, which has been snapped up by dignitaries, Dingsha County has also applied for a tribute dog - 'Dingsha Hound', which has a long face and a slender waist and is brave and steed. It is extremely fast. The hound, but also relatives, and protect the master.

    It looks beautiful, works beautifully, and is very obedient to commands. People who love hunting in the capital immediately fall in love with this breed.

    "Has this kind of dog appeared in the biography of heroes in the desert? It is also called a horse among dogs, so it is also picky about its owner. Just like a sword, it must be a hero to match."

    People in Beijing also like such picky dogs. If you raise them yourself, doesn't it mean that you are also a 'hero'?

    "I can see it clearly. "The Heroes of the Desert" is not about family and country feelings and heroes and children, but about how many good things there are in Dingsha County. The condor dog is out, and the lover's grass is out, so is there still wine in the luminous cup, patterned wool blanket, desert gem light, and wolf tooth necklace?"

    The perceptive saw the clues, and the magistrates wrote books and sold goods, which was really unheard of. For the sake of the common people in Dingsha County, he has trampled on his literati's aloofness.

    "This is a good parental official. Those who don't care about the life and death of the common people and only want to look good on their own face are all foolish officials who make a name for themselves."

    "Yes, everything else is fake, I don't understand anything else, but I can calculate how much money I have in my pocket."

    People like this because their lives have actually changed.

    "The meat is good-looking, and the beef is delicious. But as a magistrate, he wrote six storybooks a year and twelve books in two years. He also tossed about beef cattle and hounds. With so many things to do, how can you still do the work of the magistrate?"

    If there is praise, there must be opposition. Therefore, some people question whether the Dingsha county magistrate has done his job well.

    Before the praiser spoke, the people from Dingsha County retorted: "Why can't you do the work of the county magistrate? What do you know? You don't know anything."

    The people from Dingsha County can't bear to be told that their magistrate is not good. They start alone, and the next few can't wait to talk about the good things about their magistrates.

    "The first thing our county magistrate did when he came to our county was to open up wasteland. He didn't stand up, he was working on the wasteland with his trouser legs in his arms. In those two years, our county increased by several thousand acres. lands, which grow pasture, beans, sorghum, and herbs.

    "Do you know who these lands are for? For our county magistrates? You know shit! It's distributed to the people of our county. Those who don't have land at home can come and get them, and give the seeds to the land , teach them step by step, give half of the market price, and repay in three years."

      year.

    To put it bluntly, what their poor people lack is not the strength to work, but the land they can farm.

    "There is also the money from the sale of 'Succulent' and 'Snowflake Cow', which is not used to repair the county government, but to repair roads and houses. The house is a 'welfare house', which is cheap , after repairing it, it is for the poor to live in, and the repayment is also divided into three years. They are all good houses built with good things. They have large yards, can raise livestock, and plant fruit trees.

    "My grandparents have herded cattle for generations, and this year I only lived in my own welfare house and raised my own livestock. My mother said, I came out to sell things to the county, if it doesn't sell well, don't Go home, shame on you."

    "You laugh at our magistrate and call him the magistrate, do you know how much he has done in two years?

      , I don't even dare to give birth to a child, and I can't support it. Now you go and see, who is afraid of having a child?"

    A big man patted his chest, his eyes were red: "I tell you, my two children are going to school this year, the college in the county, no money, and a lunch. Just Because our county magistrates are afraid that we will not be able to count because we are illiterate, and we will suffer outside.

    "I told you to call a good official, a good official is like our county magistrate, afraid that we are poor, that we can't afford food and no place to live, so even if we are laughed at by outsiders, we have to find a way to survive ."

    The people in Dingsha County who questioned and ridiculed them sprayed their faces in disgrace and slipped away. The people who stayed were even more curious and asked them more about the 'Dingsha Magistrate'.

    "To open up wasteland, then there is no manpower? You still have to provide food and drink. Where did you get the money when the county magistrate first passed?"

    "You don't know this, right? , the money from the smuggling will be used to build the cowshed and buy the best cattle to breed 'Dingsha Snowflake cattle'."

    Speaking of this Dingsha people, they are proud of them. They are war riots all the year round, and they are martial, so they also like people with high military value.

     "Also, we in Dingsha County colluded with horse thieves to oppress our Bai family, Jin family, and those big landlords who were rich and ruthless, have all been sentenced to copy."

    Dingsha people showed a cheerful smile: "You don't know, in the past, those of us who were looking for a living outside had to pay two taxes, one for the government, and one for the Jin and Bai families. Even during the holidays, we have to give gifts, and the days are miserable.”

    A businesswoman slapped the table: "The gang of thieves, burn, loot, do all evil. Those men who have no eggs will only send women over when they see them, and send one a year. Said 'he pro', I bah!

    "It's still our magistrate who has the courage to say that it will be destroyed. It's really happy, my cousin can rest in the spirit of heaven."

    "Okay! No wonder the biography of the heroes of the desert has to write, 'Let the concubine live in peace in the world, where can the country use the general', what kind of relationship is that you are incompetent!" Passers-by applauded.

    Seeing this, the businesswoman's voice was loud again: "You don't know, the families of those two families have copied a lot of caravans and herdsmen's things, as well as a lot of weapons and horse thieves. People, this is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, and rebelling."

    Everyone was curious: "The Bai family and the Jin family are so arrogant, how come the previous magistrates couldn't treat him?"

    "Baijia Jin's family has soldiers in their hands, more than a thousand thugs, and the son of that family is a soldier, what a long way. The former magistrates were either murdered secretly by them, Either they are afraid of these two families, one of them pretending to be deaf and dumb, and the worse ones, they will be bribed by money and beautiful women, and they will act like tigers." Another businessman said.

    "That's right," said the previous businesswoman, "they also found a fairy-like woman who fell on the way forward for our magistrate to set up a bureau to harm our magistrate. Guess what? "

    The businesswoman squinted her eyes with laughter: "Our county magistrate turned around and invited Lang Zhong to come. After checking the pulse, he said that she was not sick, but he deliberately stopped the car and treated a 'obstructing official business'. Sin, build the road for three days."

    Everyone remembered the mysterious operation of the beautiful woman's tricks and the straight heroine disguised as a man in "Heroes of the Desert", and laughed.

    "They saw that our magistrate was soft and hard, and they had people assassinated our magistrate, bribed people to poison them, and sneaked in in the middle of the night. After assassinating several times, our magistrate was stabbed and bun It was also cut. After that, there was a famous hero in the county who volunteered to guard the gate for the magistrate, and this matter stopped."

     "The most hateful thing is that the head of the Jin family dared to threaten our county magistrate in front of the yamen the next day, saying that he would not be able to leave Dingsha upright if he went on like this."

    In just a few words, the businessman drew a lot of swords, lights and swords. Everyone heard the blood and hurriedly asked: "Then what's next?"
