During this period, Yang Quanqi was in a good mood. The taxes were collected on time, and the warehouse was filled with tax rice and cloth, silk, silk, cotton and other materials. Without Chen Shen's obstruction, the official affairs of the government office became smoother.

Yang Jiali was implemented in Xinye County, and nearly 10,000 hectares of additional land was cultivated in the county. Calculated by collecting three liters of tax rice per mu, it meant that an additional 200,000 shi of tax rice could be collected, which was enough to pay for officials' salaries, military rations, and various expenses.

With money and food, Yang Quanqi planned to level the official roads between the counties in Xinye County, and it was time to repair the water conservancy facilities.

The three counties of Rang, Chaoyang and Anchang have requested that the damaged city walls be repaired, and they can agree to it.

Last year, thousands of refugees were recruited for disaster relief. This year, more people have become ordinary people under the rule, and the number of Huang citizens has increased by more than 2,000.

Recruiting nearly a thousand soldiers can be driven quickly. These are great political achievements.

If you pay more money and food to the state capital, you will at least be in the top grade during performance appraisal.

Xinye County is still peaceful and the people live in peace. Compared with the former governor Wei Ren, Yang Quanqi has a high reputation in the hearts of the people. He went on inspection tours several times and the people all knelt down to thank him and shed tears of gratitude when they saw him.

One thing that neither Yang Quanqi nor the county officials have discovered yet is that there are more and more pregnant women in the county.

Of course, there are some minor troubles. Governor Xi issued a document asking all counties to recruit new soldiers. This year has been good, and there are fewer people willing to serve as soldiers to feed themselves. From the recruitment in August to now, there are still less than a hundred people.

The affairs of the country go smoothly, and the affairs of the family also go well.

After An Xuan was designated as a top-middle grade, Mr. Dong no longer complained in his ears, but instead asked An Yuan to lead the army, An Shen and An Xuan to engage in politics. The three brothers were civilized and military, enough to prosper the family business.

.

Yang Quanqi was noncommittal, secretly thinking that the woman had long hair and short knowledge. An Xuan's future was probably greater than his own, and the Yang family would depend on An Xuan in the future.

But just like the eldest brother and third brother helped him, An Shen and An Yuan can also help An Xuan in the future, and both will be prosperous.

If An Xuan can serve as prime minister and assistant, he can ensure that the Yang family will once again become a top-notch family and regain the glory of the Yang family.

Occasionally while walking in the back garden, Yang Quanqi saw his two daughters sitting in the pavilion, with their heads bent together on the table, playing with something. Qiu'er clapped her hands and laughed happily, and Li'er was also smiling.

The unrest in the back house has always been Yang Quanqi's worry. The feud between the Yuan family and the Dong family has affected each other's children. Anyuan and An Xuan are fighting, and Li'er and Qiu'er are ignoring each other. Now seeing that the two daughters can live in harmony,

Why don't you let him always have great comfort?

The results of the Zhongzheng evaluation were reported to the Situ Mansion, and it would not be until February next year for the final results to come out. Yang Anxuan felt that he had nothing to do, so he asked Yang Quanqi to return to Luoyang Mengjinguan.

Yang Quanqi flatly refused. A gentleman would not build a dangerous wall. Last time Yang Anxuan ventured deep into enemy territory, if he was allowed to go to the border this time, he might find an excuse to visit Qin.

By coincidence, the Yuan family in Ruyang sent a letter to invite Mrs. Yuan to return to Ning for the annual sacrifice for the ancestors of the Yuan family.

Since the two brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were defeated one after another, the Yuan family in Runan has declined. Now the most prominent Yuan family in the court is the Yuan family in Chen County. Although the two Yuan families were from the same clan in the Western Han Dynasty, they had not communicated with each other for many years and had long lost contact.

The tombs of the ancestors of the Yuan family are in Ruyang County, and the cemetery of the Yuan family is 35 miles east of the city, covering an area of ​​more than 60 acres. The tombs of Yuan An, the former Han Dynasty Situ, are arranged from north to south, with three tombs, which are very spectacular.

The Yuan clan members are scattered in various places, but they only gather together on December 1st every year to worship their ancestors. The clan members gather to exchange information and help the poor to show that they do not forget the aspirations of their ancestors.

The Yuan family, which together with the Yang family were two major families in the Eastern Han Dynasty, are now in dilapidated condition. The Yuan family in Runan has even been removed from the family tree, which is really sad.

Mrs. Yuan married Yang Quanqi at the age of fifteen and has been away from her hometown in Ruyang for more than twenty years. The last time she returned to Ning was more than ten years ago.

Feeling homesick due to the letter, Yuan proposed to Yang Quanqi that she wanted to go back to her hometown to visit.

Yang Quanqi had official duties and couldn't leave, so the task of escorting him naturally fell on Yang Anxuan.

After Yang Qiu learned about it, she clamored to go together. She was the most favored in the family, so naturally her wishes came true.

There are seven bullock carts, three for people and four for loading.

Mrs. Yuan returned to her hometown as a married daughter and did not return for more than ten years. Mrs. Yuan was busy organizing gifts for each house, and her four cars were filled to the brim.

In addition to money and silk, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all provided.

There are several roads from Jiyang to Ruyang. You can go directly to Nanyang to Luoyang, and then turn from Luoyang to Ruyang.

But there was a war in the north, so Yang Anxuan decided to go to Yiyang County and then go north to Yuzhou.

At the beginning of the year, Yang Anxuan led his troops to suppress bandits in the Dafu Mountain area of ​​Yiyang County. According to feedback from business travelers, there was no banditry in Yiyang County.

Yang Quanqi still dispatched thirty Qingqi to escort the convoy. Although the banditry in Yiyang County was clear, the safety of his wife and daughter must not be taken lightly. If something happened, it would be too late to cry.

The mobilization of troops and horses, especially across the state and government, requires official documents from the Ministry of War. However, since the constant temperature, the court's binding force on local troops and horses has been extremely low. There are many state governors and county governors like Yang Quanqi who support their troops and respect themselves. In addition,

If the number is less than fifty, Yang Quanqi's military order will suffice.

Those Qingqi were all delighted when they learned that they were following the Third Young Master to escort the mistress to Ruyang.

You must know that many of those Paoze who accompanied the Third Young Master from Luoyang southward later joined the Anxuan New Army. Now all of them have been promoted, or at least have become senior officers. This makes the soldiers in the Qingqi Battalion very jealous.

Recently, the Third Young Master has been confirmed to be in the middle school. Everyone knows that the Third Young Master is bound to achieve great success. If he is chosen by the Third Young Master, the opportunity to be promoted will come.

It's only about four hundred miles from Jiyang to Ruyang, and there are still more than twenty days before December 1st, so there is enough time.

Yang Anxuan was not in a hurry and set off at the end of the morning. When Shen Zheng was not available, he found a place to stay. When he encountered scenery along the way, he stopped his carriage and took his mother and Qiu'er to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Not to mention that Qiu'er's music was blooming, Mrs. Yuan was also smiling. Apart from going to the street to buy some things, she was confined to the house all day long, giving no chance to look around and enjoy the scenery.

After wandering for seven days, we arrived at Pingshi City. Along the way, there were constant traffic of businessmen and merchants. As we approached the edge of the city, we saw no tents of merchants gathered there, so we could travel smoothly on Dafu Mountain.

Yang Qiu sat in front of the horse, leaning on Yang Anxuan's arms, looking around excitedly, and asked: "Brother, where did you camp last time?"

Yang Anxuan gently knocked on Yang Qiu's head to tell her to calm down.

He pointed to the camp site with his leather whip and said, "It's over there. Don't move, we're entering the city soon."

More than thirty war horses entered the city, attracting attention wherever they went. The soldiers guarding the city nervously stopped the chariots, checked the place, and asked why they were there. They were relieved when they learned that Mrs. Yang, the governor of Xinye County, was going to Runan Province to pay homage to her ancestors.

tone.

I still have a good impression of Pingshi City, the official army of Xinye County. In April, Governor Yang sent troops to help Pingshi City eliminate the banditry in Dafu Mountain, and there was almost no intrusion in autumn.

Some people even recognized Yang Anxuan at the front and greeted General Yang warmly.

Yang Qiu smiled and nodded frequently, as if she was the one who led the troops to suppress the bandits.

Yang Anxuan led his troops into the city, found the Pengui Inn where he had stayed, and booked the four courtyards together.

This is a big business, and one can earn at least a thousand dollars a night by eating horses and chewing horses.

The shopkeeper's face was full of joy and he was busy greeting people. He had not taken on such a big business in more than half a year since the banditry in Dafu Mountain was suppressed.

The clerks have sad faces, they are burdened by the large number of people and horses, and the stingy boss, no matter how big the business is, can't even give a few rewards.

After hearing the report from the soldiers guarding the city, Mrs. Yang Dashou of Xinye County was crossing the border with dozens of light cavalry. Magistrate Guo asked: "Can you see clearly who is leading the guard?"

When he learned that it was Yang Anxuan who was guarding him, Guo Qian immediately stood up and ordered: "Hurry and prepare a ceremony. I am going to pay a visit."

Pingshi City is not far from Jiyang City, and merchants coming and going will bring news about Jiyang. Guo Qian has also read "Little Window Youju" and even bought the latest book edition.

When the news came that Yang Anxuan had been rated as a top or middle grade student, Guo Qian deeply regretted missing the opportunity to make friends with him.

With the four gifts ready, Guo Qian got into the bullock cart with Tian Dahe's help and waved to go to Pengui Inn.

Tian Dahe said with a bitter look on his face: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yang hates this servant, so it's better that I don't go and make him angry."

With his clever tongue, Tian Dahe quickly escaped from hard labor and became a servant of County Magistrate Guo.

Because he was smart and quick to do things, Guo Qian liked him very much, so he gradually left things at home to him.

Guo Qian nodded, and the ox cart drove slowly towards Penggui Inn.

When the county magistrate came to visit, there was a lot of excitement in the inn, and the shopkeeper secretly complained. He originally wanted to make more money from this group of people, but now it seems that let alone making money, if the service is not good, he may not even be able to open the shop.

After greeting Mrs. Yuan through the curtain, Yang Anxuan and Magistrate Guo came outside to talk.

During the greetings, Guo Qian said with a smile: "Master Yang drove away the bandits, and I recalled the Taoist priests from Lingyun Temple to build pavilions in the mountains, and the incense gradually flourished."

"The scenery in Dafu Mountain is excellent. If Mr. Yang is not in a hurry, he might as well stay for two days and take Mrs. Yuan to the Lingyun Temple to burn incense and pray. The incense there is very powerful. Mr. Yang's restoration of Lingyun Temple has immeasurable merit.

, I think the Three Pure Ones will protect you."

Ms. Yuan in the inner room heard it clearly. She believed in Buddhism and did not criticize Taoism. She believed in gods and bodhisattvas. She was moved when she heard that the incense was burning.

After seeing Magistrate Guo off, Yuan proposed that she would like to go to Lingyun Temple to burn incense tomorrow. Yang Qiu raised his hands and feet in agreement as long as he wanted to.

…………

At the time of Xu, Tian Dahe returned to his residence exhausted. The low house in the northwest corner of the county government office was not far away from the livestock shed, and the smell came from time to time in the wind.

Falling on the low couch, Tian Dahe stretched his body. Compared with his companions who were still doing hard labor, his life was not bad, but it was far worse than when he was the leader of the fifth village in the village.

I was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, with a burning pain on the left side of my face. In the evening, Guo Li, the second young master of County Magistrate Guo, gave me a slap in the face because he thought he was a little slow in delivering the things.

He stretched out his hand to touch his face and gritted his teeth secretly. Isn't it just because you have a good father? Sooner or later, you will make this kid kneel on the ground and lick his feet.

Yang Anxuan came again, and Tian Dahe shuddered. This young man was cruel and ruthless, and he couldn't afford to offend him, so it was better to stay away.

There are some things that you can't avoid even if you want to. Half a month ago, I was buying something for Guo Qian. A porter came by on the road and called me the leader of the fifth village in a soft voice.

Tian Dahe was shocked. He finally escaped from the hard labor. If he got infected by Magistrate Guo again, he would have to skin him.

Fortunately, the porter didn't bother him. He just told him that the leader of the village was looking for him, gave him an address, and left.

Zhao Tuzi came back again, and Tian Dahe's heart started to move. Just thinking of the bloody scene that day, one-third of his accomplices pretending to be hard laborers were dead, but Tian Dahe still returned to the county government office honestly.

During the long night, Tian Dahe thought of the women he had snatched away from the village. The soft and charming appearance of Magistrate Guo's concubine appeared in his mind, and his lower body immediately reacted.

He got up and rummaged through the box, and there was some money hidden inside, which he usually asked for from the merchants under the banner of Magistrate Guo.

There were three hundred and sixty-seven coins in total. After counting them countless times, Tian Dahe sighed. This little money was only enough to spend one night in the lowest-class brothel in the south of the city, and even entered the gate of Baihua Tower.

He hid the money in the box again and fell heavily on the couch. Tian Dahe's eyes flashed with a fierce look. He was seeking wealth in danger, so he might as well go to see Zhao Tuzi secretly and tell him the news of Yang Anxuan's arrival.

If you can take revenge, you can become the leader of the village, seize Guo Qian's concubine, give Guo Li a hundred lashes every day, and let Guo Qian wait for you to eat, drink, and defecate...
