Pirate Song

Chapter 57: Bow and Archery Club

Although it was just a county government, the size of the county government in this era was not divided into several categories. Important officials in the county, such as the county magistrate, the chief secretary, the county captain, etc., all worked in the county government compound, which was considered a comprehensive

Each of the local governments has their offices in the county government office, so you have to go around many doorways to get to the backyard.

Even though the county government occupies a large area, there are many things it manages here, ranging from farming, litigation, taxation, school inspection, arresting bandits, etc. It can be said that everything in the county is managed, including eating, drinking, sleeping, sleeping, etc.

Generally speaking, although the phenomenon of redundant staff in the Song Dynasty was quite serious, compared with the detailed division of labor in later generations, the workload of officials in this era was still quite large, and the workload of officials in this era was quite different from that of ordinary people.

The ratio of common people cannot be compared with that of later generations.

Gao Huaiyuan, a person from later generations, naturally knows this. As a result, it will be very hard to be a good official in this era, even just a county magistrate. In his opinion, although Mr. Liu from Daye County, although

He is not a very good official, at least he is not a weak official. Therefore, he is so polite to Mr. Liu.

When Gao Huaiyuan bypassed several doors and came to the small garden behind the county government office, County Magistrate Liu was already waiting in the small pavilion in the garden. He also sent someone to make a pot of tea and wait for Gao Huaiyuan.

arrival.

Liu Zhixian also had a very good impression of the third young master of the Gao family. This was not only because Gao Huaiyuan sent him gifts from afar, but also because he heard from Xing Baotou and others that Gao Huaiyuan also had good abilities.

, the last time Jin Heihu was captured, he actually knew full well that Jin Heihu fell into the hands of Gao Huaiyuan, but this young master Gao acted relatively low-key and did not want to be in the limelight, so he let Xing Captou and the gang

He received the reward, so he did not dare to underestimate the young Gao Huaiyuan. In addition, Gao Huaiyuan knew how to do things, so Liu Zhixian also valued him very much. When he heard that Gao Huaiyuan was visiting today,

So he quickly put down what he was doing and invited him in to talk.

This time Gao Huaiyuan was just visiting Liu Zhi County, so he didn't prepare any gifts. He just bought two jars of good wine on the street and gave them to Liu Zhi County. He didn't plan to talk much here, it was just a courtesy visit.

After meeting Liu Zhixian, he also called himself a junior. After all, Liu Zhixian was already quite old, and calling himself this could not make him any younger. Liu Zhixian was very happy, and pulled him to prevent him from leaving, and sat down to chat.

During this time, Liu Zhixian was really troubled by what the government servant in the concierge said earlier. Originally, Daye was close to the Yangtze River and adjacent to the Kingdom of Jin. The place was not very peaceful, and there were more refugees than in some places to the south.

, which resulted in more banditry problems in this area. In addition, the war between the Song Dynasty and Jin Dynasty a few years ago made the relationship between the two countries very tense, which put great pressure on Liu Zhixian, who was an official here.

During this period, a case involving Jin Heihu had just been solved. He and a group of people from the county government had just received praise from the prefect government, and then a group of ruthless bandits emerged again and did several big things in the Daye area.

The case had a very bad impact and made the people of Daye County a little worried. As the parent official of a county, if such a thing happened in his own jurisdiction, he was naturally duty-bound and had to solve this trouble.

But so many days have passed, and surprisingly not even a single gangster has been caught, and two of the officers sent out by Capt. Xing actually disappeared inexplicably, causing Liu Zhixian a headache.

After seeing Gao Huaiyuan today, he suddenly remembered that Xing Baotou had said before that Gao Huaiyuan and one of his loyal servants both had good abilities, so he had an idea and pulled Gao Huaiyuan to discuss the matter.

After listening to Liu Zhixian's complaint, although Gao Huaiyuan was a little angry at what the gangsters did, in his opinion, there is a right way to steal for the sake of thieves, seeking wealth rather than life. After robbing property, there is no need to commit murder, but

This gang of gangsters actually didn't kill anyone, but also helped take away the young woman from the host's family, raped her, killed her and dumped her body on the roadside. This was really going too far. What's even more annoying is that these gangsters were not just looking for money.

They even attacked some civilians. The daughters-in-law of two families were said to be relatively beautiful. They broke into their homes in the middle of the night, killed their families, raped the women, and finally killed them. It was really

They are a bunch of moralless bastards.

But after hearing this, he felt angry, but after all, it was a government matter, and there was no need for him to go out to find those gangsters. Moreover, he seemed to vaguely hear something in Liu Zhixian's words.

He had something to say, so after listening to it, he just sighed and said some words to accuse these gangsters, but he did not answer Liu Zhixian's words and stepped forward to help Liu Zhixian solve this problem.

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, Liu Zhixian was a little disappointed. After talking for a long time, he was not distracted by his words. It seemed that he wanted to ask Gao Huaiyuan for help, but he couldn't do it without making it clear.

"As a county official, arresting bandits should be my duty, but Master Gao also knows that we only have dozens of archers and guards in Daye County. In such a big place, there are only so many people.

What can be done? And there seems to be a lot of gangsters this time. It seems difficult to rely on Xing and the others to arrest them alone!

I heard that Young Master Gao and one of your loyal servants are both very good at martial arts, and that Young Master Gao has had a good reputation since he came to this county. I wonder if Young Master Gao can do anything about this matter this time.

Can you help me?

What's more, as far as I know, Master Gao has a very good personal relationship with Capt. Xing, and he won't bear to see Capt.

If you don't take the blame, you might be scolded by your superiors!

In addition, there are not many capable people in this county. If Young Master Gao can help me, in the future, whenever Young Master Gao needs my help, he can just ask, and I promise that as long as he can help,

, I will never refuse, and I hope that Master Gao will spare some time this time to help the county and get rid of this harm to the people of the county!"

Liu Zhixian Dongzhi said to Gao Huaiyuan with affection and reason. Now he is also ill and has sought medical treatment. Since Gao Huaiyuan is capable, he might as well let him contribute to him. If he can really solve this gang of bandits.

, maybe it will be of great help to your career in the future!

After hearing what Liu Zhixian said, Gao Huaiyuan couldn't help but hesitate. Ordinarily, although he felt that he was an upright person and hated evil in this matter of arresting bandits, in doing this, he seemed to be keeping a low profile for the time being.

It went against some of the original intention, and it was a thankless task. If he really found the robber, it would be life-threatening. If he was not careful, he would have to pay the price. Even if he solved the robber in the end, he would have to pay the price.

I can't get any benefit or benefit myself, so it's not cost-effective to do it.

But if he refuses, Zhixian Liu already knows about his kung fu skills. If he refuses to do it, he will inevitably create a gap with Zhixian Liu, which will hinder his future work in this area. What should he do?

Gao Huaiyuan lowered his head and fell silent, and his mind began to spin rapidly. He weighed the matter carefully, and blamed himself in his heart. Why did he come to the county government office today if he wanted to die? It was really depressing, and he ended up giving it to himself.

You've got yourself into trouble!

"Master Gao, if you think about it carefully, this matter is also a good thing for the Gao family. After all, the Gao family is a well-known big family in Daye County. If those bandits are wandering around in this area, they will definitely hear about the Gao family.

If one day they really become malicious to the Gao family, there is no guarantee that the Gao family will not be affected, and there will be intact eggs under the cover of the nest? In fact, Young Master Gao said he was helping the county, but in fact, it was not

You are helping yourself!" Liu Zhixian saw Gao Huaiyuan lowering his head and remained silent, knowing that he was thinking about this problem, so he struck while the iron was hot and said to him again.

This sentence awakened Gao Huaiyuan. Now he is here in Daye. The Gao family is actually his home, and the Gao family is considered a wealthy family in the local area. If those bandits really covet his home, I guarantee they will.

They will attack the Gao family. Now that he has Crouching Tiger Villa, he is not afraid of bandits going there to loot. However, there are only a few servants in the old house. If something happens, there may be big trouble.

So Gao Huaiyuan's mind began to move, but he still did not immediately nod his head to agree to the matter. Now he has gradually formed an instinctive way of thinking. Since he does something, he must take the benefits of it.

To put it bluntly, if he goes out to help the Yamen arrest these bandits, what benefits will he gain?

The little abacus in Gao Huaiyuan's heart began to crackle, and a plan gradually formed in his mind!

"Master Liu, you're welcome. Something like this has happened in the county. Logically speaking, we should never stand by and watch. Even if you don't say anything, I will take care of it when I learn about it!" Gao Huaiyuan said.

Liu Zhixian was overjoyed. Regardless of whether Gao Huaiyuan could help with this, at least he had these words, and having more power would indeed be of great benefit in apprehending these bandits, so he thanked him, but his words had just

As he exited, he was interrupted again by Gao Huaiyuan.

"Your Excellency, thank me for a moment. Although this matter is my responsibility, I will tell you the truth. In my family, because I have offended some villains in the past, I had to recruit some nursing homes to maintain the safety of my home. My family does have some

If I, a few capable people, want to catch the thieves on my own, I may not be able to catch them, but if I can bring the nursing staff with me this time to help Mr. Xing catch the thieves, it will be much better.

How confident it is!" Gao Huaiyuan said to Liu Zhixian.

When Liu Zhixian heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "So there is such a good thing. In that case, please, Master Gao, please take your nursing home as soon as possible to help Xing Captou and the others catch the thief!"

Gao Huaiyuan shook his head and said: "Sir, please listen to me. Although I also want to do this, there is a problem. No matter how you say it, I am just a civilian. It is always unfair to come forward to steal.

It's quite embarrassing, and once you meet a thief, you must not use a gun or a knife, and you must carry weapons, bows, and arrows with you. If someone pursues you, and this matter reaches the ears of my father, you must severely reprimand me. If anyone has ulterior motives again,

, If you accuse me of hiding weapons and raising private soldiers, this matter will be difficult to handle. Therefore, if you want me to arrest the thieves, then please give us a name so that our division can be famous.

!”

When Liu Zhixian heard this, he seemed to have some truth in what Gao Huaiyuan said. He had such concerns, which showed that Gao Huaiyuan, a boy, had considered the problem very carefully, so he thought for a while and said: "Then from the perspective of Mr. Gao, what is the use of

Is it more appropriate to show up in name?"

Gao Huaiyuan pretended to think, and after being silent for a while, he said: "This matter can be easy or difficult to handle, it all depends on you!"

"Young Master Gao, if you have something to say, you might as well just say it. With our friendship, what's not to say?" Liu Zhixian was in a hurry to solve this matter and couldn't care about so much anymore, so he quickly got close to Gao Huaiyuan.

"This is easy to say. I want to come to Daye, which is not too far from the Kingdom of Jin. During this period, banditry is rampant in the territory. If you can follow the example of other places and organize a bow and arrow club in Daye, and recruit people to join the club to practice archery,

This will solve these troubles!

The establishment of this bow and arrow club will bring many benefits to our Daye County. Once the bow and arrow club is established, it will not only allow the people to practice martial arts and keep fit, but also contribute to the local area when necessary. And we, the people, live here, and we are keeping our land.

Responsibility, with the name of the Bow and Arrow Society, once they encounter thieves, they can also gang up to suppress them. In this way, the county government does not have to spend money to raise troops, but when trouble occurs, there are people available. Isn't it the best of both worlds?

This can not only defend the village in peacetime, but also protect the country from enemies in case of another war with the Jin people. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes!

And it is justifiable for me to lead the nurse to join the bow and arrow club, and to accompany Xing to catch the thieves. No one can criticize our actions! What do you think, sir?"

Gao Huaiyuan finally expressed his thoughts. After he came to this era, he learned from many people that martial arts was actually quite popular among the people in the Song Dynasty. During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were many bow and arrow societies, horse buying societies, etc.

The organization played a considerable role in resisting the invasion of the Jin people. Many famous generals in the early Southern Song Dynasty came from such groups. However, later, after the Southern Song Dynasty settled in Jiangnan, the political situation gradually stabilized, and the court

Worried that local armed forces would endanger their rule, civilian weapons were gradually withdrawn and these clubs were dissolved. Therefore, many places have canceled such clubs.

However, in some places, such organizations still exist and have not completely disappeared. It was after Gao Huaiyuan heard about such things that he put his mind to this bow and arrow society. In his opinion, if a nation wants to

To be strong, in this era, the martial arts among the people cannot be stopped, and if the folk customs are strong, then even if the foreigners want to conquer the Han nation, it may not be easy, so he will take this opportunity to encourage Liu Zhixian to do something like this in Daye

A bow and arrow club came out. In this case, he could join the bow and arrow club, legitimately own weapons and arrows, and also help the local martial arts gradually develop. In short, for the Song Dynasty, there were only advantages and no disadvantages.

After listening to Gao Huaiyuan's words, County Magistrate Liu hesitated a little. It was not that he had never thought about the bow and arrow club. Moreover, County Lieutenant Wang in the county government also mentioned this matter many times and wanted to set up such a club in Daye.

Things are used to defend the township, but the problem is that although he knows that such a bow and arrow club is of great benefit in maintaining local security, sometimes once such a group is allowed to become big, the folk customs will be strong and it will cause some trouble.

, and although the court did not explicitly prohibit such organizations, it did not encourage the promotion of such organizations. If he set up a bow and arrow club in Daye County, he might make Shangfeng unhappy, and that would not be a good thing!

"This...! What Mr. Gao said makes sense. However, although clubs like the Bow and Arrow Society have existed since the founding of the imperial court, the imperial court does not encourage such things now. Moreover, the matter is urgent now, and it may not be possible to organize a temporary organization in time.

Yeah!" Liu Zhixian couldn't help but want to shirk.

"It's good for Mr. Liu to be worried. This matter can't be rushed, but there is a way to deal with it right now. There are many wealthy families in our county. As far as I know, many wealthy families have some nursing homes.

This group of bandits is quite rampant, and it is difficult to deal with it with the strength of Capt.

We should prepare weapons to maintain the security of our hometown and village, and guard against the arrogance of those thieves! And my family happens to be a big family in the local area. In this way, if there are people in every township to arrest the thieves, then even if I

If you come forward, no one will say anything!" Gao Huaiyuan saw Liu Zhixian's hesitation, so he didn't rush and expected him to agree to form a bow and arrow club. The next best thing was to ask him to agree to organize large families in various towns and villages.

Some manpower, whether it is a temporary civil defense team, at least he can bring a group of people to work, and this can cover the eyes and ears of others!

When Liu Zhixian heard this, he thought this was a good idea. It did not organize a bow and arrow club, but it could also play a role in preventing bandits in the township. Moreover, it was the wealthy families who contributed the money and effort. There was no need for the county government to spend money to do things, which was not a bad idea.

It was a temporary solution, so Dangjie agreed and said that he would discuss it with the county magistrate and county lieutenant, and then immediately followed Gao Huaiyuan's idea.
