"I didn't realize what I was doing, so I made friends with all the heroes. However, I was not rewarded by Qin, so I took credit for attacking Jinning."
After Bao Chu made an agreement with Li Yi and others, he quickly borrowed three fast horses and enough money and food from the Yi Pavilion with the help of Ping Zhunjian's letter. The Yi Pavilion began to be rebuilt in the Sanfu area in the past six months.
Perfect, it is responsible for maintaining official roads, maintaining law and order in the jurisdiction, and providing convenience for official personnel and ordinary business travelers.
Nowadays, these post pavilions have spread all over the three auxiliaries, which can quickly convey imperial orders and contact the central and local governments. Most of the post pavilion directors are veterans and wounded soldiers who have retired from the military, and can ensure local security and loyalty to the court. This is
It was a proper arrangement by the emperor for the retired soldiers, and it was also a preparation for rebuilding the postal system. It would only be possible to promote it when sufficient financial and material resources were available in the future.
Prior to this, Yiting was temporarily under the supervision of Pingzhun Supervisor. Jia Xu put a lot of effort into this, saying that he could quickly control the public opinion of the third assistant and even Hongnong. As one of the four Pingzhun Supervisors,
Bao Chu made full use of the convenience brought to him by his authority, which also made Li Yi secretly envious.
After the three of them crossed the river, they galloped for several days and finally arrived at Anyi, Hedong County at the end of March.
Everyone stayed on the road at the city gate, looking at the tall but dilapidated city wall in the distance. Then they zoomed in and looked at the flat and wide official road at their feet. The strong contrast made Bao Chu and others feel a great feeling.
Not to mention Li Yi and Yan Qian, Bao Chu himself felt an indescribable disobedience.
Along the way, from the increasingly prosperous Chang'an to the peaceful and quiet Zuofengyi, everything he saw was prosperous and full of vitality. Since the emperor took charge, the imperial court has significantly reduced the originally heavy taxes and taxes.
The thieves were eradicated, and new agricultural tools such as the Quyuan plow also began to be implemented in Gyeonggi and other places. The newly simplified prefectures and magistrates all supported the edict and enthusiastically organized the people to repair water conservancy, cities, and roads during the slack period. The order to encourage farmers and
Farmers and generals from all over the country are also doing their best to supervise and persuade farmers and mulberry trees, and take in the refugees. They see that the world is peaceful.
But why is Hedong County, which is only separated by a river from the counties in Guanzhong, so different from Sanfu and other places? Although Hedong County has been repeatedly tortured by the White Wave and Yellow Turbans in the past few years, the city was ruined, the farmland was abandoned, and it was difficult to recover for a while.
But it has been almost half a year since Bai Bo was pacified. Why has Anyi, as the county governor, not even built a decent city wall? Did Wang Yi, the county governor, spend all the money on repairing roads?
As the spy leader of Pingzhun Prison, Bao Chu secretly remembered the strange situation in Hedong and prepared to report it in time.
"The city wall affects the security of the place and is also the face of the place. What's more, Anyi is the governor of Hedong County, and it has declined like this. The prince's governance is a little careless." Li Yiqi expressed his opinion on the horse, and at the same time, he and Bao Chu,
Yan and Qian entered the city together.
Bao Chu felt the same way. He thought of the tall and majestic city walls and gate towers of Chang'an, and looked at the city walls of Anyi that seemed to be broken down at any time by a heavy rain. He couldn't help but shook his head and said: "No wonder someone in the court will impeach the prince."
He has done nothing in governance and has betrayed the trust of the Emperor. It seems that what he said is true."
The three of them led their horses to the main road in Anyi, looking and walking. This road ran from east to west and was quite neatly repaired. The roads were paved with bluestones, with a convex middle and concave sides to facilitate drainage. On both sides of the road were
There are elms and mulberry trees with sparse leaves planted along the drainage channels.
Seeing the chaotic but not chaotic and slightly regular layout of the city, Bao Chu became even more confused.
"I think the prince is more important than civil society, and most of his administration is based on the people. There are no thieves in Hedong and there are no military threats outside. There is really no need to rush to build city defenses." Yan Qian seemed to have found a suitable reason and murmured.
.
"In any case, this is a matter for the 'meat eaters', so there is no need to bother speculating for the time being. The most important thing right now is to find a place to live, and then think about how to enter Fan Xian's mansion as a ranger." Li Yi clicked his tongue.
As he spoke, there was something else besides envy in his tone. At this time, the three of them, led by Bao Chu, turned a corner on the street and walked into a secluded alley.
"Yes, I am a scholar. I usually study and grow melons. How can I plan to eat meat? What Xiaoyi said is the right thing." Seeing that there was no one around, Yan Gan took over the conversation and whispered: "
Although Fan Xian likes to imitate the princes of the Warring States period and recruit guests and knights, not everyone can join his sect. Our reputation is not yet great, and our status as literary talents is too eye-catching. If there is no opportunity, it may be difficult to succeed.
."
This is where Yan Qian is loyal yet cautious. Bao Chu chuckled lightly and said, "I have already arranged this matter. If an acquaintance recommends it, it will be easy to get in."
"Who has such dignity?" Li Yiqi asked.
"Have you forgotten? That man from Hedong is very famous. He has met a few of us a few times." Bao betrayed him and said leisurely: "The affairs of the common people are governed by justice. Evil and evil are blocked, and private rights are abolished."
"Ah!" Li Yi remembered. He and Yan Qian looked at each other and said in unison:
"Hedong wishes justice!"
Zhu Gongdao, whom Bao Chu refers to, was a heroic knight who was famous in Hedong. He was a warm-hearted man who liked to fight against injustices. He had met Bao Chu and others several times.
In fact, not all knights in the Qin and Han Dynasties came from a poor background like Bao Chu. Most of them had land and land in their families, and had a certain amount of private force and wealth. These are the material basis for heroes to be generous and generous, and to solve problems for others.
Zhu Gongdao was born in the Zhu family in Hedong. Although the Zhu family was a local tycoon with a low family status, Zhu Gongdao himself was very influential in Hedong. However, when he asked for something, powerful people of all sizes would give him a favor.
Ao still needs to be valued by others.
After the three people settled down, since Bao had trouble coming to visit, after specifying the location, only Li Yi and Yan Qian came to visit in person.
Although Zhu Gongdao's family is wealthy, he likes to live the life of a poor family. He often wears an old cloth robe. Even if it is tied tightly with a belt, it still looks baggy, making his originally majestic body look smaller. Every day
Every time he spoke, his two sleeves would rise and fall with his gestures, as if they were two palace fans made of soft silk blowing the wind: "This is not difficult. Since the two brothers have spoken, I
You should do your best to help.”
"Hey, I'm a scholar. I usually study and grow things." Yan Qian looked at Li Yi, and his honest round face was filled with the embarrassment of a penny stumping a heroic man: "If it weren't for the pressure of making a living, I would have waited a long time.
I won’t come to Hedong to look for Brother Zhu either.”
Zhu Gongdao really did what he said, and he did what he said. Two days later, he invited Yan Qian. Li Yi and Li Yi got on a gorgeous and comfortable catwalk, led by two handsome servants sent by Fan Xian.
Then, he headed out of the city in a mighty manner.
After walking along the river bank for about three to five miles, after detouring through a forest, the field of vision suddenly opened up, and a huge Wubao Manor suddenly appeared on the plains. The walls were towering, and there were many arrow towers. Elite troops patrolled in an orderly manner, and there were more in the garden.
There are lush flowers and plants, covering the eaves of the pavilion.
When the car arrived at the door, Li Yi and Li Yi did not expect that Fan Xian personally led a group of guests to greet them at the door. When they saw the two people getting out of the car, Fan Xian, who had a sinister look on his face, asked affectionately: "You two must be...
Feng Yi came to Li Jun and Yan Jun?"
The host and guest exchanged names and chatted for a while. Fan Xian accepted Xu You's suggestion, and with the intention of spying on Feng Yi and trying to contact Feng Yi Haoqiang, he warmly made friends with Li Yi and others. His words and deeds were really like a polite corporal.
Li Yi and Yan Qian saw this and nodded secretly. If they had not already known about Fan Xian's evil intentions, I am afraid that this alone would make them grateful.
"Jinnuo! It's just me." Li Yi and Yan Qian looked at each other, and at the same time stepped forward and bowed.
Fan Xian accepted the courtesy from the two of them as a matter of course, and then greeted him in a warm tone: "I live in a humble place, so please don't despise it. In my place, you can treat me as a half-master, and you must enjoy yourself!"
Li Yi knew in his heart that this was an intentional compliment. If he was pretending to be polite, he would not give him face, so he readily agreed: "I promise, in this case, I will bother Fan Jun for a while."
