The 22nd year of Jian'an in the Han Dynasty【217】

Early August in summer.

Mi Zhu, who was ordered to go on a mission, arrived at the Qiang Dao camp with documents.

The king's appointment of Zhao Tong was read out.

After the appointment was read out, Zhao Tong raised his hand and said loudly, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations and protect the two counties!"

A resounding statement.

For Mi Zhu, the first mission has been completed.

Next, since Zhao Tong is about to arrive at the county government to debate and take charge of the overall situation, he will also be responsible for selecting candidates who can take charge of Qiang Road.

After all, this place is an important town northwest of Wudu, bordering Longxi and other Cao clan hinterlands to the north, and Shenlangqiang to the south. In addition to being strategically located, this place is strategically located.

The terrain of the Qiang Dao camp is complex and beyond the reach of ordinary people!

In particular, Ma Su, who had recently joined the army, had just returned from the Shenlang King's Court and reported that the negotiations with Prince Ni Er, the new Qiang King, were going smoothly.

The two parties formally established an alliance of mutual assistance.

Those who stayed behind should always maintain friendship with the Shenlangqiang.

Under many circumstances and restrictions.

Zhao Tong couldn't help but think deeply for a while before calling everyone in the army to discuss in the big tent.

In view of the fact that he has been training his generals one after another.

He also quickly told the generals in detail about the death of Governor Huo Jun due to illness, and that he himself was appointed as the new Governor of the Second County by the King, and then he said loudly:

"Ma Zhong obeys the order!"

"The end is here!"

"After I return to Xiabian to take charge of military affairs, you will be the guard general of Qiang Road and control the troops and horses in various defense lines of Qiang Road. Do you have any objections?"

"But don't worry, general, your loyalty will definitely protect the Qiang people!"

An order was passed down.

Ma Zhong solemnly handed over his hands to accept the order and gave his assurance, with a serious look on his face.

After hearing this, the surrounding generals did not show the slightest dissatisfaction on their faces.

This incident was basically within their expectations!

Ma Zhongpingsu Liben often assisted Zhao Tong in handling military affairs and became his deputy.

Now that Zhao Tong has been promoted to a higher level, the important task of guarding the Qiang Road naturally falls on Ma Zhong's shoulders.

At this point, the generals were not too surprised!

Seeing that all the generals agreed with his decision, no one felt dissatisfied.

This matter is basically settled!

After dealing with the Qiang Dao guard, Mi Zhu, who had not yet set off to return to his hometown, found Zhao Tong again and went with him to visit the brewing workshop.

Along the way, Mi Zhu never forgot Liu Bei's deeper intentions and kept understanding: "General Zhao, I wonder how much food is needed for the Juxian Brewing we brew now?"

"How many grains of dendrobium do we need to apply for each time we brew?"

…

A series of words.

I heard that most of the questions Mi Zhu asked along the way were related to the grain consumed in Juxian Brewing.

Zhao Tongshi couldn't help but find something unusual in it.

He first took Mi Zhu around the brewery.

Then, with a smile on his face, he said slowly, "Uncle Mi, I will take you somewhere."

"oh?"

Hearing this, Mi Zhu was obviously hesitant, but still nodded in response.

The two of them galloped to a field on the southeast side of the camp.

A glance away.

All I saw in these fields was a golden scenery.

The tall and tall wheat leaves are fluttering in the wind, and the wheat grains between the leaves are as lush as blooming flowers!

Almost the entire wheat field is golden yellow.

In the field, there seemed to be sounds coming from far away at this moment, and there was a lot of people shouting.

Farmers wearing bamboo hats were busy in the fields.

While harvesting the ripe wheat, or weeding the crops that are not yet completely ripe.

In the sky, the sun is scorching right now.

Zhao Tong and Mi Zhu were riding in the fields. They were silent along the way, stroking their heads and looking at everything in the fields.

Worked until noon.

At this moment, the heat of the sun above your head has reached its maximum.

The sun shone everywhere in the fields, making everything around them scorching hot.

Even if it was Zhao Tong who had been patrolling the fields for a long time, Mi Zhu could not help but sweat dripping from his face.

Not to mention the farmers who are still working in the fields right now.

Endless sweat dripped down from their foreheads, and their whole bodies seemed to be soaked with sweat beads.

Even if it is corroded by the scorching sun.

The hard-working farmers continued to take care of the crops while wiping them with clothes.

Patrolling back and forth around the fields.

Seeing Zhao Tong accompanying him, he still said nothing!

There is still no answer to the topic he asked before.

But looking around, Mi Zhu gradually understood something deep in her heart.

He couldn't help turning his head towards Zhao Tong, and said with a smile, "General Zhao, is this land the farmland that you and Mi Gui mentioned earlier?"

"What Uncle Mi said is true!"

After Zhao Tong heard this, he gently raised his hands and responded.

"I don't know..."

He was about to continue asking about the harvest and whether it could support the consumption of brewing Juxian Brew, but when the words came to his lips, he quickly took back the words.

Zhao Tong on the side, although he did not say anything, was always watching the changes in the expression on Mi Zhu's face.

After observing him for most of the time, he seemed to have realized that he had already gained a lot of confidence.

Zhao Tong just raised his hands and said, "Uncle Mi, since there are no problems, why don't you go back?"

"good!"

Mi Zhu already had the answer in his heart, so there was no need to linger any longer, so he responded quickly.

On the way back, when passing by a field, there were several farmers wearing bamboo hats, including children, who seemed to be a family.

This family saw Zhao Tong passing by them.

They all immediately knelt down and gave thanks:

"Long blessing to General Zhao!"

"Without General Zhao's kindness, I'm afraid the old man's family would have starved to death long ago!"

The movement of this family suddenly knelt down and handed over their hands to express their gratitude could not help but alarm the other farmers nearby.

In a short period of time, all the farmers in the fields knelt down to express their gratitude, with deep reverence on their faces.

When Mi Zhu on one side saw this, his eyes moved slightly, a little suspicious.

"Huh? Is A Tong so loved by the local people?"

At this moment, Zhao Tong glanced from the side and noticed the strange look on Mi Zhu's face.

He then thought for a moment, then faced the people in the field and said with a loud smile: "Fellows, please get up quickly!"

"Since you are citizens of the Han Dynasty, I am ordered to guard this place!"

"Of course I have to think about all the ways to protect your livelihood."

"The man next to me now is the important minister next to the King of Hanzhong this time. He was specifically ordered by the King to inspect the border areas to check whether you can have enough food and clothing."

"The king is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he cares about you very much!"
