In another year, county magistrate Liu Qing will retire and return to his hometown to take care of his life.

For so many years, I have been an official in a different place, with clean sleeves, and I have never made any contributions to my hometown, and I have never made a big contribution to Sesame.

County Magistrate Liu is very ashamed. He wants to do something for the villagers in his hometown, but doing things requires silver taels. County Magistrate Liu has been an official for all these years, and he has been an honest official with clean sleeves.

If you return to your hometown in the future and make no contribution to your hometown, what will the villagers think of you?

Don't say the villagers are embarrassing themselves, if they ignore themselves, it is also very embarrassing.

After thinking about it, Liu Qing wanted to do something for the people in his hometown while he was still in office and had some power in his hands.

After having this idea, Liu Qing was in trouble again. He had been an official for so many years, and he could not be said to be selfless. Basically, he was honest and honest, with clean sleeves.

If he wanted to do something for his hometown and take bribes, that was not what Liu Qing wanted. He couldn't ruin his reputation for life because of it.

One day, Liu Qing was reviewing official documents when his master suddenly ran in and said that someone reported that in a remote mountain village under the jurisdiction of our county, there was a divine ox that would automatically plow the fields, saying that it was an iron ox handed down from his ancestors.

Liu Qing suddenly had an idea and hurriedly asked his master to take him to have a look. A group of people came to this remote mountain village. When the villagers saw that the county uncle was here, they were naturally very happy.

The village chief heard the intention of the county uncle and his party. He personally pushed the iron bull into the field.

Let Uncle County take a look at this miraculous iron bull. Strange to say, the iron bull is slowly plowing the fields under the promotion of the county uncle.

It didn't take much effort to see the village chief, it was much more convenient than cattle plowing the fields.

Liu Qing, the county magistrate, was greatly surprised that there was such an artifact in the world.

I heard that the people in this village are all descendants of Zhuge Liang, and the technology of making iron bullocks is also handed down from the ancestors.

But now this technology has been lost, and this is the last iron bull in the village.

Liu Qing asked the village chief if the iron bull could be sold to the county government office, and found someone to study it and create more iron bull, so that the people of the county could better cultivate the fields.

The village chief immediately politely refused, and the ancestral training has regulations. This iron bull can only be made with the ancestral technology of the village, and the cost is huge.

Ordinary people cannot afford it, and the process is very complicated.

Liu Qing's idea was to give the village a tax break in exchange for this iron bull and bring it back to his hometown.

You can help the villagers do something, and you will have a face when you return to your hometown in the future.

Although the village chief was unwilling to let the county magistrate take the iron bull away, who could stop the county magistrate's decision?

In this way, the county magistrate dragged the iron bull to his hometown.

Although the iron bull was pulled back, he had not tried to cultivate the field.

The patriarch of the hometown led everyone to install the iron ox and let a strong man go down to the field to plow the field with the iron ox.

Who knew that the iron bull was pulled into the field and did not move at all.

It will not automatically plow the fields, and it will constantly make roaring sounds.

The patriarch said, "You must have offended the gods. Send this iron bull back."

When the county magistrate Liu Qing saw this situation, he was also very embarrassed.

They could only ask someone to pull the iron bull back to their village.

The village chief was naturally very happy. The iron bull was pulled back, and Liu Qing apologized to the village chief.

Until Liu Qing returned home, he had never done anything for the village.

Liu Qing stepped down and only carried a plaque "Upright and Lian Ming" with him.

But what Liu Qing didn't expect was that the patriarch brought thousands of people from all over the clan to greet him at the village entrance.

Liu Qing was moved, and his face was full of shame. He murmured to the patriarch, "I have been an official for many years, and I have never done anything for the villagers. I really feel ashamed.

The patriarch chuckled and pointed to the "honest and honest" plaque and said that this is what the clan needs.

Liu Qing shook his head, a little confused about what the patriarch meant.

The patriarch looked at Liu Qing with a complimentary look and said, "You don't know, the people of the clan feel proud that you are an honest official in the village."

For a time, Liu Qing felt a lot of emotion, and his heart was warm, secretly glad that the iron bull protected him, if not for it, his Qingming would have been destroyed, and I am afraid he would not have been able to get the understanding of the villagers.

After many years, Liu Qing realized that it was the patriarch who deliberately let people install the wrong iron bull, so the iron bull would not move.
