I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

"It's true, why don't you believe it, Lord Sun?" Jiang Yuan looked at Sun Xin sincerely.

Sun Xin put on an expression that said, "If you keep bragging, I lose if I believe you."

"Well, Magistrate Jiang, please explain to us exactly how the people of Tai'an County asked you to discharge these filthy things into their moat."

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment, then nodded helplessly: "Okay, since Lord Sun is curious, I'll find a place to talk about this matter today."

Jiang Yuan pointed to the teahouse on the side of the road and said, "Master Sun, please."

After the group sat down, the waiter immediately made a pot of hot tea for them.

Jiang Yuan took a sip of tea before speaking, "Master Sun, you don't know that our Taiping County is very poor!"

Sun Xin frowned slightly. Poor?

Poor ass!

Look at your Taiping County, it doesn't look poor at all. It is probably even richer than the counties in the Central Plains.

"Alas, Lord Sun, the situation was very different half a year ago. At that time, our Taiping County's grain production was low and the people were starving. The main reason was insufficient water supply."

Hearing this, Sun Xin couldn't help but nodded.

This guy is right. Taiping County is located deep in the mountains, so there is no groundwater. The entire county relies on the moat drawn from the Qianlong River for irrigation.

But since it is a moat, the water level cannot be too low, otherwise it will not be able to protect the city at all.

"So, we wanted to talk to the people in Tai'an County and ask them to lend us some water to tide us over. We'll definitely repay you handsomely in the future. Tell me, is this too much to ask?"

Jiang Yuan said this and slammed the table, startling Sun Xin.

"No, it's not too much." Sun Xin suddenly started and nodded quickly.

"Yeah!"

"You know everything, but the people of Tai'an County just refuse to lend. What can I do? Am I going to watch the people of Taiping County starve to death?" Jiang Yuan said indignantly.

Sun Xin looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion. "Magister Jiang, although your story of struggle is inspiring, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what I want to ask, right?"

Jiang Yuan drank his water slowly and knocked on the table. "It's related. This is the cause. Next, I will talk about the consequences."

"To prevent everyone from starving to death, I ordered people to dig up the moat in Tai'an County and divert all the water into the river in Taiping County for irrigation. That's how we got through this difficult time."

Sun Xin widened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yuan in shock.

Wait, what the hell did I hear?

In order to prevent your own people from starving to death, you dug up other people's moat. Does that mean you intend to let the people of Tai'an County starve to death?

"Hey, Lord Sun, don't look at me like that." Jiang Yuan said with a rare embarrassment.

"So later on, the people of Tai'an County strongly demanded that they return the river, and I, being the kind person who always obliged."

"That's why all those pipelines were connected to the moat in Tai'an County."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Sun Xin seemed to be frozen in place, and it took him a long time to recover.

"You, you mean, if you throw all these filthy things into their moat, that counts as giving them back a river?!" Sun Xin stared at Jiang Yuan.

Bastard! What a fucking beast!

Is that human being?

Why didn’t the people in Tai’an County beat you to death?

Snapped!

Jiang Yuan slammed the table again and looked at Sun Xin with wide eyes: "Master Sun, what's the problem?"

"What's a moat? Isn't it something that flows around the city? And the filth in our Taiping County can also flow around the city!"

"And you don't know, ever since we built the moat, the security in Tai'an County has been so great that there's no need for soldiers at all. There's no need for patrols at night. That's fantastic!"

"It's definitely the strongest moat in the entire Great End. I'm so envious of it."

Sun Xin only felt a dry mouth.

The entire moat is flowing with feces...

vomit!

Just thinking about it made Sun Xin feel sick.

Is there any need to say this?

With a skill like yours, I feel sick just by mentioning you, let alone getting close to you.

I just don’t know if there are still people living in Tai’an County. If so, what are their lives like?

What a man who always grants wishes, what a man who is worse than pigs and dogs!

While Sun Xin was still in a daze, Jiang Yuan had already finished the tea in the cup and walked out with Wang Gang.

Sun Xin shook his head and sighed, stood up and was about to leave when the waiter came up to him.

"Sir, fifty cents."

Sun Xin: “…”

With the urge to kick Jiang Yuan to death, Sun Xin paid and walked out of the teahouse, only to see Jiang Yuan chatting with several children, talking and laughing. It was quite a heartwarming scene.

"I didn't expect this guy to be so popular among the people." Sun Xin muttered and walked over quickly. Jiang Yuan's exclamation was heard immediately.

"What did you say? Did you go to listen to Wang Kun's storytelling again? What was he talking about this time?" Jiang Yuan looked at the children nervously.

These people are the future backbone of Taiping County, and Wang Kun must not lead them astray no matter what.

"Oh, today Wang Kun told us the story of how we lost Jingzhou due to carelessness." The child said with eyes wide open.

Sun Xin, who had just walked over, nodded and smiled, saying, "I didn't expect this book to be such a bestseller. You even have it in Taiping County."

"There was a chicken plague at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although the name is a bit vulgar, many of the stories in it are really fascinating. It's a pity that the Martial Saint lost Jingzhou due to carelessness and was defeated at Maicheng."

The child looked at Sun Xin in confusion: "Sir, you are wrong. That's not what Wang Kun said."

"Oh?" Sun Xin immediately became interested. He had read the original novel, so could there be something he didn't know?

"Then tell me what the storyteller said."

"Okay." The child nodded, stretched out his hand and imitated Wang Kun, clearing his throat and saying:

"It is said that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man who was over 30 and still hadn't married. He had to rely on himself for food, clothing, housing and transportation every day. He wanted to find a wife very much."

"But the dynasty was in chaos, and there was no woman for him to marry."

"But one day, the man rescued a wounded fox. When he returned home the next day after a day of work, he suddenly found a pot full of millet porridge."

"The man was ecstatic, and it continued like this for three days. Finally, one day, out of curiosity, he wanted to see who was going to cook for him."

Hearing this, Sun Xin bared his teeth and nodded. It was nothing more than some novels about fox spirits.

But what does this have to do with the careless loss of Jingzhou?

Just listen to the child continue to speak.

"The man waited patiently until evening, when he finally heard some noise in his kitchen. He rushed in and waited for him to open the door."

"A fox was sitting on his stove masturbating, and there was already half a pot of millet porridge in the pot."

The child looked at the stunned expressions on Jiang Yuan and the others' faces and continued.

“This is the story of the careless eating of porridge.”

Jiang Yuan had only one thought at this moment, he absolutely could not let Wang Kun stay in Taiping County any longer!
