Chapter 1108: Spring Comes (Part 2)
Fu Dun ignored Liu Yue's interruption.
He probably knew that Jiang Wei, the leader of the caravan, was originally just an ordinary young scholar in Hanyang County, and his father was a Gongcao in the county. This young man made a contribution by chance and was recognized by the Han emperor. It is said that his future is promising. In this way, other young people in Liangzhou were both envious and jealous of him, and were also a little dissatisfied.
Just like Shu Zuo, who was named Liu Yue, was enough to do his own thing, but he couldn't help but see if Jiang Wei had any omissions. He hid this little entanglement deep in his heart. He opened his mouth and said, and he would call him "Boyou" again, for fear that others would misunderstand their kind friendship.
It's interesting.
Fu Dun grazed in the West Sea when he was young, and he was the same. He was friendly and competitive with people of the same age. However, the young people of the Hu clan were more innocent. If they were friendly to others, they would drink and eat meat, and if they turned against each other, they would draw their swords and chop each other. There was no such complicated human favor.
However, Fu Dun's tribe had long been dead. He was wandering in the army for decades, and it was not until last year that he settled down. Looking back on his life, he found that the great chiefs and coach Qu in the Hu clan were actually quite scheming. Perhaps the only one who was really stupid was the lower class Musou.
Humph, I don’t know this little baby Liu Yue, but it’s not just Jiang Wei who met the emperor. When Chang’an changed hands, I, Fu Dun, also met the emperor and talked to the emperor.
The emperor specifically asked Fu Dun if he was interested in becoming a county lieutenant in Wudu or Longxi. In the future, it was the time to open up Hexi.
But Fu Dun said that he was old and had no tribe members. He was still in the territory of the Han people and worked in his old horse-raising career. He would take a rest first and live a comfortable life for a few years.
At the end of last year, the emperor set up two huge pastures in the Fuping area of Beidi County, respectively, using the old name from the former Han Dynasty, called Heqiyuan and named Feiyuan. Fu Dun then served as the pastor of Beidi County. Many of his old subordinates, many of whom were left in Chang'an at that time, were appointed as men and as supervisors. Even if they were not good, they could be shepherds, with a house to live in and a piece of land to plant.
The two pastoral gardens had more than 800 herders, raised more than 8,000 horses, and also cultivated the land by themselves, raising cattle, sheep, etc. Fu Dun specially arranged for people to raise dozens of camels. He had a strong premonition that he would be able to use it sooner or later.
Sure enough, just a year later, the transfer order from the superiors came. Not only did the Lutu be transferred away, but Fu Dun himself was transferred away.
Fu Dun had to rush to Hanyang from Beidi County. As soon as he arrived in Hanyang, he was caught by a bearded man named General of a cyclist and drank a lot of wine.
Fu Dun was drunk on the spot. When he woke up the next day, someone told him that he had agreed to set off and embarked on another long journey.
This chariot general looks honest and honest, but in fact he is also a cunning liar.
Fortunately, General Huang Quan in Chang'an City was quite reasonable and had already given very generous conditions. Otherwise, even if Fu Dun had a few more drinks, he would not have agreed to go this trip.
Thinking of this, Fu Dun couldn't help but turn his head and look out on the Weishui River on the right side of the road.
The sky was clear and clear. The hillside on the left was bent over, and the farmers who began to prepare the ground and sow see clearly. The boat on the river on the right could see even more clearly. Fu Dun blinked and noticed a woman at the bow of a boat. She was looking at this side, and there were two young men sitting restrainedly beside her.
That was Fu Dun's newly married wife.
She was a refugee who fled from Fengyi to Chang'an when the Han army captured Guanzhong two years ago. She was about thirty years old, with a hunched back and two children. Fu Dun asked her where she was from and who the child's father was. She refused to say it, but she forced the child to read and read every day. Without any pen and ink, she took the branches to gesture on the ground.
This is the daughter of a Han family who can read and write Chinese characters. Somehow, Fu Dun was full of pity for her, so he brought some food to visit her from time to time and asked her to sew clothes for herself. After a while, the two got married.
When Fu Dun went to Beidi County, he took her with her; this time Fu Dun planned to go to Liangzhou and the Western Regions, and she brought her two children to see her off.
Fu Dun told her that General Huang Quan agreed that the two children could go to Chang'an's official school in the future and become officials of Han people. If you have the spirit to send me, it would be better to hurry up and let the children read a few more words.
But she disagreed and came anyway.
Fu Dun raised his hand and waved it. When the woman and the two children waved, he immediately looked away to prevent himself from appearing weak.
Just as a gust of wind swept across the wilderness, shattering sand and stones, falling down. Several horses angrily stepped on the ground, trying to get away from the wind from a different angle. The driver hurried down to comfort the horses. As soon as the man left the roof, the tarpaulin covered on the roof was lifted up again, and suddenly rolled up in the wind.
Fu Dun hurried forward and grabbed the loose rope and took his companions to tie the tarpaulin back to the car.
Halfway through the tie, I found that no wonder I suddenly loosened. The way the rope was tied is wrong!
He glared at the little leader who led the team and shouted: "Car No. 4, No. 5, No. 6! They also tightened the ropes!"
"Old Fu, the fourth number of Bing is tightened!"
"Car No. 5 is also good!"
"No. 6 is ready!"
The shouts came from afar to the direction of the Wei River.
Not long after spring, the water level of the Wei River was still very low. In the upstream water, the first thing to do is to ensure the irrigation needs of the various channels, so slightly larger ships cannot be navigated.
The owner of the boat was full of wrinkles and was very old. He slowly rowed the oars, squinted his eyes, and looked at the huge caravan, a little curious. Because the last time he saw such a caravan was when the world was peaceful, forty years ago, or forty-five years ago? At that time, the owner of the boat was still a child and his memory was already very blurred.
The ship owner spent a long time looking at the caravan guards. He noticed that there were many locals in the team, including two young men, who were familiar faces who were summoned to the county soldiers last year.
It can be seen that this caravan is extraordinary, and behind it may be a high-ranking official in the county.
He was a little envious of the guards' heads and chests, and also of the swords and thick robes on his body. Not long ago, he smelled the aroma of the guards' meat stewed in the pavilion, which made people yearn for even more.
In the past winter, the boat people's lives were actually much better than in previous years. These locals who were familiar with the Wei River were hired by the court and were responsible for transporting the wood cut down or charcoal from the mountains upstream.
Because of the huge amount of transportation, the court gave great benefits, including food, cloth and coins. Therefore, throughout the winter, the boatmen rarely died of cold and starvation. The owner of the ship also specially built a new ship this year and built more than a dozen rafts to use.
The new Han emperor was more generous than people expected, and the boatmen were willing to earn rewards based on their own sailing skills. But he still envied the guards, after all, those people had eaten meat just now, and it tasted so fragrant.
He winked his granddaughter and asked her to take good care of the woman on the bow of the boat. Her husband is a guard leader and must have a status. If he takes good care of him, he may get some extra rewards.
So the little girl held a large pottery bowl and leaned over and said, "Please drink water with a distinguished guest! This is the clean water that has been cooked!"
At the same time, in Hanyang City, the upper floor of the Flower Records Restaurant.
