Zang Hong was not happy, but was a little disappointed.
"Do you still have a household registration in Yanmen?"
"Not many, the whole county is about the same as Dongwuyang." Xun Yu said lightly: "Of course, this is just a registered household registration. Inspired by the emperor, Hu people outside the border have recently been entering the border to settle in, but they have not received any more
It is even harder to manage it.”
As he said that, Xun Yu smiled slightly. "If Ziyuan feels embarrassed and does not want to take office, I can write a letter to the emperor on your behalf. It just so happens that I lack people here. If you want, stay and be a county magistrate."
Zang Hong snorted. "You don't need to provoke me." Then he said, "Is Hedong so short of people? Even the county magistrate is not enough?"
Xun Yu shook his head with a smile. "It's not that there is a lack of people, it's that there is a lack of people who can be used."
Zang Hong couldn't help but cursed his lips. Just as he was about to say a few sarcastic words, Xun Yu waved his hand and signaled him to be calm.
"Hedong is different from the past. It is not only the capital of the Han Dynasty, but also the foundation and even the sample of the Han Dynasty's revival. Therefore, we cannot be satisfied with the stability of the people, sufficient taxes, and must be in line with the kingly way. The county magistrate is a close official and educates the people.
The foundation is that one cannot be competent without both virtue and talent. Looking at the entire Hedong, there are only two people who can basically meet the requirements, Liu Ba, Liu Zichu, the Order of Anyi, Jia Kui, Jia Liangdao."
"Jia Kui and Jia Liangdao?"
"He is from Xiangling, Hedong, very young, you may not know him."
Zang Hong disagreed. There was no big clan in Hedong, which was a consensus among scholars. A Hedong native, who was very young, could be regarded by Xun Yu so much.
It seems that Xun Yu is also a bit over-named.
Zang Hong had the intention to stay in Hedong, but he no longer considered it. Although Yanmenhuo had a good entrance, the more soldiers and horses he had, there were more opportunities to fight with Yuan Shao in the future.
Zang Hong stayed in Anyi for a night and then set off.
Xun Yu suggested that he give up riding a car and choose to ride a horse. From this, he went north, and there were more mountains and more inconvenient rides.
Chen Rong had practical experience and advised Zang Hong to take the post on a horse.
Zang Hong thought that he would inevitably deal with the cavalry when he went to Yanmen to take office, so he accepted Xun Yu's suggestion. His father Zang Min was once a general of the Xiongnu rank and led his troops out of the frontier. He practiced riding and shooting since he was a child, and always kept horses at home.
Riding is pretty good.
Xun Yu provided Zang Hong with two horses.
The emperor captured a large number of horses and sent some to Hedong as a mailman. The prefect also kept some of them. He usually sent orders to various counties, and he rode horses several times faster than people.
.
Zang Hong set out again.
Thinking of what Xun Yu said, Zang Hong paid attention to watching the customs and customs along the way and seeing how far the governance of Anyi is from the kingly way.
There are large areas of cultivated land on both sides of the river in the north of Anyi City. It is midsummer and the wheat seedlings in the fields grow very fast. In the fields, men and women can be seen everywhere. In addition to farmers working in the fields, there are also little shepherd boys who shepherd cattle and sheep, and the water
I can still see half-old children driving geese and ducks.
Zang Hong soon discovered a unique phenomenon. Many of these half-aged children carried books, either inserted in their belts, hung them on horns, or held them in their hands. Some children
Although I didn't bring a book, I hummed it, but I recited some teachings from the saints.
There are "The Analects of Confucius", "The Book of Filial Piety", and "Mencius".
Zang Hong was somewhat surprised. The Analects of Confucius and the Book of Filial Piety are common books of enlightenment, but Mencius is not. Most of the scholars who read "Mencius" have a certain foundation and are dedicated to learning. They are not suitable for beginners.
.
With curiosity, he inquired about a young man who loudly recited "Heaven will give great responsibilities to this man", and then he realized that "Mencius" was one of the enlightenment textbooks of various schools in Hedong, and the disciple of Taipu Zhao Qi was taught.
Zang Hong met Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi was ordered to appease Guandong and persuade Yuan Shao to stop the army. Zang Hong had a relationship with him. He knew that he had put a lot of effort into "Mencius", but he didn't know much, but he didn't expect that now
Found a place to use it in Hedong.
Zang Hong was very curious and decided to visit Zhao Qi when he decided to pass by Taiyuan.
Xun Yu told him that Zhao Qi had returned from Guandong and was in Taiyuan.
When passing Jiangyi, Zang Hong thought of Xun Yu's praise for Jiangyi's order Jia Kui, so he decided to stay in Jiangyi and ask about Jia Kui by the way.
When he lived in the post house, Zang Hong summoned the postman to ask about Jia Kui.
The postmaster answered a few words, and when he left, he asked casually. "Did you come from Guandong?"
Zang Hong didn't think much about it and nodded to admit it.
The postmaster left, Zang Hong took his seat to eat. Before he could finish his meal, there was a burst of rapid footsteps outside, as if someone had surrounded the yard where he lived. Then, a young man walked in, followed by two people.
Soldier.
The postmaster also followed in and pointed at Zang Hong with his hand. "Jun Jia, it's him."
The young man walked up to Zang Hong and bowed his hand. "Zang Jun, Jia Kui, the commander of Jiangyi, dare to ask for advice."
Zang Hong stood up, greeted Jia Kui, looked at the postmaster, and then looked at the soldiers who were waiting for the battle. He smiled and said, "What is the Ming court's intention?"
Jia Kui didn't explain and looked at Zang Hong up and down. "Guangdong people?"
Chen Rong was about to come forward to explain, but was stopped by Zang Hong.
"yes."
"Are you going to Hedong for business or travel?"
Zang Hong shook his head. "None of them."
He came to Hedong to respond to the emperor's campaign, but Chen Rong had never seen the emperor. The edict for the enlistment was in the hands of Chen Gong, and Zang Hong did not have any certificate. His road was issued by the Hedong Prefect's Office, but it was also
His identity is not explained, and he is no different from that of ordinary scholars.
As for the official position of the prefect of Yanmen, he only heard from Xun Yu that he had not really performed his duties and there was no evidence.
It is obvious that Jia Kui is very alert to the people of Guandong. The reason why the postmaster went to report was probably because his accent and his interest in Jia Kui himself caused suspicion, so that Jia Kui not only arrived in person, but also sent people to surround the postmaster.
make.
This is to look at him as a detailed example.
Zang Hong developed a strong interest in Jia Kui and even believed Xun Yu's words.
Not to mention anything else, Jia Kui is very vigilant, and he has a strong sense of governing the county.
Because of family traditions, Zang Hong was fond of learning military techniques, and Jia Kui was very fond of his appetite.
"What are you doing when you come to Hedong?" Jia Kui paced back and forth, and his hand had already pressed the knife ring around his waist.
"Can the Ming court know that the Guandong Prefectures and Counties formed an alliance to fight against Dong?"
"A little bit of it."
"I am the Lord Alliance."
Jia Kui was stunned, stared at Zang Hong and then looked, and suddenly said, "So who is Zang Jun Zhongming, the prefect of Taiyuan, who is you?"
"That's my father."
Jia Kui widened his eyes. "You are Zang Hong, who occupied Dongwuyang and avenged his former master?"
"That's right." Zang Hong stroked his beard and jaw.
Jia Kui laughed and patted his forehead. "I am really ignorant. I am just a pearl in front of me, but I treat it as a fish eye. I am ashamed."
While speaking, Jia Kui apologized and ordered people to withdraw the siege.
Zang Hong didn't mind. "Jiangyi is in the hinterland of Hedong. Why is the Ming court so vigilant?"
Jia Kui shook his head repeatedly. "Zang Jun doesn't know that Jiangyi is located in the north and south, and the intersection of east and west. The people traveling in complex, including Guandong. I am responsible for heavy responsibilities and have to be more careful. The emperor is in the city and makes trouble.
It’s not good to rebel.”
"Will Kanto Seizaku come here to inquire about the news?"
Jia Kui sighed. "Guo Tu escaped from Hedong by Jiangyi."
