On the fifteenth day of September in the summer calendar, after two months of trekking, the group finally arrived outside the city of Yuzhou.

There are still ten days left before the beginning of winter, and Liang Zijun is ready to explore the road first and secretly check how bad the situation is under his rule.

A round trip takes up to 7 or 8 days, and instead of rushing to the state capital to take up the post, it is better to find out the situation and then go to Feng County to take up the post, so as not to make the local squire on guard first.

Bolin had acquaintances everywhere, and as soon as he entered the city, he led everyone to Yaxing, talked to them for a while, and in a few moments he got the key to his dwelling.

In the small courtyard of the second entrance, the three main rooms have no ears, the left book and the right bedroom, one of the west wing rooms is converted into a stove room, and one is used as a bathhouse. The east wing Bolin and Huzi each occupy one room, and Chen Bi is a female dependent, so she arranges to live in the backyard.

The two inverted rooms, one toilet and one firewood, are not big, but they are also complete. There is a well in the backyard and two open spaces, and if you buckle the greenhouse, you are not afraid that there will be no food to eat in winter.

Chen Qing was quite satisfied with this, pointed to the two brick houses in the backyard and said, "Clean up and just put the vegetables"

Liang Zijun smiled helplessly, "It's just a temporary stay, and I can't make a big rectification of the laborers"

What do you know? Chen Qingbai glanced at him, don't look at it as just a temporary residence, but the home must have the appearance of a home.

Everyone unloaded their luggage, washed and cooked. The two handlebars got up after lunch to say goodbye, received double the car money, and drove away with a smile.

Liang Zijun waited for the route to be inquired, then changed his clothes and led the horse out.

Originally, Boleyn was going to go with him, but because he was worried about his new arrival, he stayed here for a few days.

Entrusting the people to Bolin, Liang Zijun went out of the city and got on the horse, all the way to Feng County.

Chen Qing couldn't stay idle, cleaned up outside the house, and took people out to buy rations.

After Bolin's guidance, he became familiar with half of Yuzhou City in half a day.

It is said that it is a provincial capital, but it is only slightly larger than Qingping County, most of the people are old, full of vicissitudes, it can be seen that Yuzhou is sparsely populated, and the products are not abundant.

There is no birth restriction here, the reason why there are few people is because they can't afford to raise many mouths, and farmers will spontaneously control the population in order to survive, unless the rich families will have babies without restrictions.

As he was walking, Yuan Yuan was caught by a place on the side of the street, Chen Qing saw his son staring at the buns with a greedy face and drooling, and walked over with a little distress and asked, "How do you sell the buns?"

Seeing that it was a guest who came to the door, the guy hurriedly opened the cage drawer to show his white and fat big buns, "vegetarian buns and meat buns"

Chen Qing secretly thought that the prices here were really low, and at home they were all vegetarian stuffed with three wen and meat stuffed with five wen, and Jingli was even more expensive to the point that a vegetarian bun cost five yuan.

The guy tried his best to sell, and explained in a fluent dialect, Chen Qing didn't understand much, but he also understood what it meant.

Paying for two per person, everyone ate and walked, Bolin saw that he was thoughtful, and explained slightly: "The land in the northwest is barren, and the people rely on captive livestock for money, so the meat is cheap"

Chen Qing nodded teachably, and said this...... "Are there any dairy sheep for sale?"

Being stared at by the father and son, Bolin couldn't help laughing, coughed secretly, and walked to the five animal teeth.

Picked a lactating ewe and five fat chickens, Chen Qing discussed with the shepherd again, and waited for the baby to buy two more.

The shepherd inquired about the address and bluntly said that he would send it to the house in a hurry.

The ewe is docile, and it doesn't hurt to be led by the little baby, and the little guy pulls the rope and shouts "grandma, grandma......"

Touching the top of the little guy's hair with pity, although it was delicious and delicious along the way, but in the end, the journey was tiring, and he suffered a lot, and even his fat cheeks were reduced a lot.

After buying enough food for half a month, Chen Qing picked and packed a basket of melons, fruits and vegetables.

What is surprising is that most of the stalls in the market are grapes, melons and other products, and even apples and pears are also sweet.

Along the way, the harvest is quite abundant, and apricots, peaches, figs and other fruits that are not common in Qingping County can be bought here.

Bolin hurriedly stopped the large-scale purchase of "enough to eat, these things will not be long in coming"

Chen Qing blinked, who said that it would not be long before it was put away? Wouldn't it be possible to dry the fruits if you couldn't finish eating?" "Don't you say that the land here is barren? Why are there still so many melons and fruits produced?"

Bolin smiled, "You don't know this, Yuzhou has a variety of topography, most of the plains are sparsely vegetated, the soil is stubborn, and it is attacked by rain all year round, so there is little land suitable for farming." However, the terrain of the hills is complicated, and although it cannot be cultivated for farming, it is rich in fruit trees, so these are all mountain goods that can be seen everywhere, and it is okay to try them."

Chen Qing shook his head and sighed, such a good thing has been wasted, if it is shipped out and sold, it will definitely be exchanged for a large amount of silver.

Bolin shook his head and sighed, "You also suffered a lot when you came, even if you can pave the road and build a bridge, such a long way, most of it will rot on the road before it arrives."

This is indeed a problem, modern transportation has convenient means of transportation, plus preservatives, but do not worry about rotting halfway, but in ancient times, transportation is a problem that cannot be solved by scratching the head.

Seeing Chen Qing's regretful look, Bolin sighed, "That's it, maybe the future generations can come up with a way to solve it once and for all."

"Well, future generations will definitely be able to solve it," Chen Qing affirmed with certainty.

Governance is the top priority at the moment, and improving people's livelihood needs to be gradual.

There were too many things, and Chen Qing had to order Huzi to bring the carriage. Hu Zi said worriedly, "Boss, there are so many things, can we finish eating?"

Chen Qing grabbed the grapes and spit out the seeds while eating, and said inarticulately, "Even if you eat with your belly open, I will think about it if I can't finish it."

Yuanyuan also learned from his father to stuff the big grapes into his mouth, Liang Jia was afraid that it would not be clean, so he took out Juan Pa and wiped it and fed him, "Brother Qing is the best at fried mountain goods, he said that he must be able to do it"

Bolin was also curious about what to do with the melons and fruits, and after returning home, before Chen Qing could sit down and eat a lot, he was caught by several people to concoct raisins.

The production of raisins takes about 5 steps: cut the bunches first, remove the damaged fruits, cut them into small bunches and soak them in alkaline water for a few breaths, and then immediately rinse them in clean water. After that, it is put into a drying tray and exposed to the sun, turned over until the fruit is dry, and then dried in the shade for 7 days after no juice oozing out by hand. When the fruit is soft, cut off the fruit stalks, it is considered to be made.

By the time Chen Qing finished explaining, the grapes had been placed in the sun. The temperature difference in Yuzhou is large, when it is sunny, the temperature is like early summer, but it is like deep winter at night, which really makes the people who are used to being in the south extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it is not a problem to dry dried fruit on this day, but it really doesn't work, doesn't he still have a greenhouse?

Speaking of greenhouses, Chen Qing immediately ordered to buy green bricks, ropes and other things, and brought Liang Jia and Huzi with him, otherwise let alone the greenhouse, just putting things together would be enough for him to work for a few days.

Everyone was in full swing and overturned the shed, but Liang Zijun sent a letter back, saying that he had been tied up......

Chen Qing pinched the letter and frowned, and Bolin also said strangely, "I haven't heard that there is a group of horse bandits entrenched in Feng County."

Chen Qing got up and hurriedly said, "The handwriting is true, I think it's better to redeem people first."

Since Zijun didn't mention anything else, it must have been done by local forces. But along the way, they were all incognito, and it is still unknown how they were spied on the news, so they had to rescue people first.

"Don't worry, let me inquire first" Bolin held down the impatient and went out to talk to his old friend.

Chen Qing went back to the house and put the money in his pocket, thought about it and brought the official document with him. In any case, Zijun can't be allowed to have an accident, even if this official doesn't do it, he can't throw his life away.

When he came back, he saw a husband who was fully armed and desperately trying to save his husband. Bolin burst out laughing, and quickly waved his hand to stop it, "Worry, it's not time for your life to be at stake."

Everyone was wondering why Bolin looked calm and composed, and saw a person walk out behind him, smiling and arching his hand, "Villain Li Shuhe, I have seen everyone"

Don't look at the fact that there are only three states apart, but the customs and customs are very different in various places, I think this person has been with Bolin for a long time, and he has also learned some Mandarin.

Hearing that this person was a friend of Bolin and was familiar with the local people, Chen Qing hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "I don't know ......"

"Don't worry, listen to me......" Li Shuhe raised his hand and pressed falsely, reporting the ins and outs of the matter first. After everyone calmed down, he persuaded again, "This person has a little friendship with me, and if I walk with him, I will definitely be able to bring him back safe and sound."

"With the help of Brother Lao and Li," Chen Qing solemnly saluted.

"Don't dare to be, Li Mou is reckless, and he doesn't dare to accept the county husband's gift" Li Shu and Si Siwenwen have no reckless atmosphere at all. It's really puzzling to be in the same category as Boleyn, but to be mixed in with the green forest.

Liang Zijun fell into the hands of horse bandits, and at first he was witty, but after a while, he found that this group of robbers was completely different from the previous ones.

Not only do they want money, they also want to kill them. If he hadn't bitten to death and hadn't been appointed as a county official, I'm afraid he would have to be in a different place at this time.

Could it be that they were the dogs sent by the local squire? In line with the momentum of not entering the tiger's den and getting the tiger's son, Liang Sanye dared to go up the mountain.

Three hundred taels of silver were looted, and even his clothes and pants were stripped clean, and the leader of the horse bandits threw him a sack and asked in a non-standard Beijing accent, "What are you doing in Feng County?"

Liang Zijun will be afraid of him, covering his lower body and getting up and saying, "What can you do? Ye is a cloth seller, of course he is here to do business."

The leader of the horse bandits stretched out his hand and punched him, and Liang Zijun on the top was disgusting, "Fart! Feng County's poor jingle sound, you go there to do business, when I am a fool?"

The second boss asked fiercely, "Tell the truth, otherwise your life will be gone"

Listening to their private discussions, he knew that he was not an ordinary robber, Liang Zijun couldn't understand the dialect, but he knew that they didn't want to make money and kill at this time.

Liang Zijun spit out sour water, and bared his teeth with contempt, "Bah~ You can't do it without eating?

"Grandma's, don't eat and drink when you toast, and dare to call yourself a master when you get to the top of the mountain? I think you're impatient!" the second boss immediately kicked and scolded.

"Second brother, don't be too busy" The leader of the horse bandits snorted coldly, and the second leader obediently retreated.

Liang Zijun peeked around, not only is there strict discipline here, but there are also many women who have settled here. Presumably, settling here did not happen overnight, and it must have been entrenched here all year round to make a living by robbing.

"I don't ask you what kind of calculations you have, but I have to tell you, but all the people of the Qian family have never thought about me climbing the mountains" The leader of the horse bandits turned his face half sideways, pointed to a hideous scar and shouted, "If you know each other, you will write to your master, saying that I, Helian Mountain, have come back to collect debts! If you don't want to die, hand over the things, otherwise when Lao Tzu comes to the door, he will not let go of his family's dogs!"

Liang Zijun listened carefully for a long time, then got up and smiled cross-legged, "You have a grudge against the Qian family~ It's a pity, I don't know what master you are talking about, and I will go all the way."

The leader of the horse bandits and the second leader glanced at each other, and scolded in disbelief: "Don't let his grandmother lie! It's not the Qian family's dog, there will be so much silver, and he still rides such a good horse?"

Liang Zijun raised his forehead and smiled, pointed at the second child and scolded: "Who the hell is the surname of the mother, and the money is spent on money?"

The leader of the horse bandits turned his head and had another conversation with the second master, quarreled for a long time, and after being punched again, the second leader came over and asked, "Are you rich?"

Liang Zijun nodded, and the second master turned around with a happy face.

The leader of the horse bandits angrily punched him again, turned around and left with a word.

Liang Zijun raised his eyebrows, secretly scolding these two stupid people for being stupid enough, having a strong figure but no IQ, not even knowing that they had tied up the wrong person, and they were still shouting at themselves.

"Write a letter! ask for money!" the second master ran out for a moment, took a piece of straw paper and a bald pen and handed him a letter to write.

Liang Zijun pretended not to be angry and turned his head away, until the second master rewarded him again, and then shouted, "Where is the master's clothes? And my horse is also careful, it is the master's old man, ignore the people, let them hear it from a distance?"

The second master scolded secretly, hurriedly brought the clothes, and promised to treat the horse well, so Liang Zijun was willing to write a blackmail letter.

After the letter was written, the second master turned around and looked at it a few times, and ran out to show it to the leader of the horse bandits.

The leader of the horse bandits nodded after seeing it, "Yes, it's like a ransom note...... Copy the letter again, and if we ask for a ransom in the future, we will write it according to this."

"What, but I can't write," the second master was in trouble.

He doesn't know a single big word, how can he copy it?

"It's stupid to tell you to usually recognize two words and not listen to them!" The leader of the horse bandits dragged the letter and copied it one by one on the desk.

The second master picked it up and compared it, and sincerely stated that "this is still good-looking"

"You know what a fart!" the leader of the horse bandits was annoyed and angry, and the scar on his face was even more hideous and tangled, and the bluffing second master immediately got out to deliver the letter.

When Bolin and Li Shuhe arrived, what they saw was Liang Sanye sitting on the top drinking and eating, and he was still disgusted and refused.

"Yo~ It's not the right time for us to come to the relationship, or will you stay for two more days, third master?" Bolin sarcastically mocked him.

"I'm just here now, my lord is out of appetite!" Liang Zijun complained, and threw the wine jug to the second master to "fill it"

The second boss lowered his head and waited on the side, and when he saw the leader of the horse bandits entering the door together, he hurriedly said that he wanted to collect the silver and drive this guy down the mountain, and then stay, and the good wine on the mountain was all wasted for him.

The leader of the horse bandits glared and said, "It's not that you are blamed for tying up the wrong person? Lao Tzu has lost all his wine!"

"What's the matter, he doesn't have any money?" The second boss immediately dropped the wine jug, and wanted to kill Liang Zijun to relieve his anger.

The leader of the horse bandits grabbed the person, threw a strong man against the wall, and waved his hand to Li Shuhe, "Kindness, please"

Li Shu and Qianqian said, "It's all old acquaintances, don't call the old benevolent father"

The leader of the horse bandits said righteously, "I, Helian Mountain, can only pick up a rotten life thanks to Engong, and I dare not forget the grace of saving my life......"

"Huh...... Besides, I won't come here to drink next time" Li Shuhe said with a smile, and arched his hand to Liang Zijun, "I've seen Brother Liang"

Liang Zijun got up and pulled Bolin, and the two whispered and said with a smile, "It's really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, since they are all their own people, it's easy to say."

"Who is with your own people!!, pay for Lao Tzu's wine!" Helian Shan looked at him angrily.

"Didn't the master give you three hundred taels? You still have to worry about the master for such a little wine money, and you can't be authentic" Liang Zijun rubbed his stomach with a faint ache and pouted with disdain.

Helian Shan immediately threw out three hundred taels of silver tickets and returned them to this scoundrel in front of Li Shuhe.

Damn, he has been a horse bandit for so many years, and he is not even a cloth dealer, what a slap in the face when he says it!

Seeing that the two of them were not in the right temper, Li Shuhe persuaded a few words, and simply continued with Helian Mountain. Liang Zijun asked about the situation at home before telling him what happened to him.

Bolin glared at him with a sneer, "You're a good man, but you freak out the rest of your family!"

Liang Zijun smiled and scratched his face, he wanted to go deep into the tiger's den, but he didn't think that the tiger didn't catch it, but was slapped a few times by the blind bear.
