Jia Xu returned to Xiliang this time and did not go with Dong Bai and Tong Yuan's team to return to their hometowns to worship, which was also a little to avoid suspicion. Let Li Dao, who thinks he is the first in the world, Li Zhiran, will not take any special precautions.

Before leaving, Tong Yuan suddenly remembered something.

He once again respectfully bowed to Jia Xu and said, "Although I can't officially worship Mr. Wenhe as a teacher, I always regard Mr. as an elder in my heart." There is one thing today, and I have to bother Mr. Lao. ”

Jia Xu was a little surprised, and asked, "I don't know what the lord needs Xu's help with?" ”

Tong Yuan said, "Yuan is twenty years old this year, but his parents and clans are all harmed by Wang Yun, Lu Bu, Huangfu Song, etc. I am fortunate to have Mr. as a teacher, and I am a famous person in my hometown of Liangzhou, and I ask Mr. to give me words to express my name. ”

Jia Xu actually didn't know Tong Yuan's words, and wondered why his people didn't give him words, but he didn't expect it to be such a reason.

In every respect, he was indeed fit to do this, so he asked, "Dare to ask the eldest son in the lord's family?" ”

After Tong Yuan heard this, he was a little flustered, he didn't know this very well, so he could only muster up the courage to say, "Mr. Hui, Yuan is the eldest son in the family." But I hope that my words can express my name and show my ambition more. ”

After finishing speaking, he was also a little weak-hearted, but Jia Xu thought he was a little excited, so he didn't care much.

Jia Xu looked up at the vast sky, the sky in this birthplace of civilization is so vast, but it is currently experiencing turmoil and decline. I hope that the lord can revitalize Sanfu, Bingzhou, Yongzhou and other places further away, and keep it peaceful.

"When I hear the name of the lord, I know how to revitalize peace. Zhenning and Zhen'an both expressed their good intentions for the distance, and the lord can choose one. ”

Tong Yuan was overjoyed, if he thought about it, he wouldn't be able to think of such a good intention. Among the two words, the former is more famous in later generations, and it is really fortunate to be able to have a relationship with such a character.

However, in order to avoid interfering with some unnecessary disturbances in the world line, he chose Zhen'an.

Tong Yuan, the word Zhen'an, he will make people remember this title.

......

Dong Bai and his entourage soon set off to worship their ancestors, but the road was far away, and it was estimated that it would take two or three months to go back and forth.

Before Dong Bai left, Tong Yuan, Zhang Lu and Xu Jian led fifty people to set off in the name of the Four Seas Merchant Gang caravan. He also considered leaving in his own name, but for the sake of safety and speed, and for the convenience of dealing with the affairs of the merchant gang, he finally chose this way.

As for Xia Yang and Hedong, they were temporarily handed over to Zhang Ji, Wei Qi and Xu Rong to be responsible for production and training. When he returns, it will be the time of harvest and sowing, and the time of recovering and annexing the state.

His goal was Hanyang-gun, which would later be Cheonsu. To get to Tianshui, he didn't need to pass through the dangerous Beidi County and Anding County in the north, he only needed to follow the Weinan Plain all the way to the west.

In a few days, they arrived at Yixian and Chencang. I saw that the fortified city was still there, and the official road was still new, but the surrounding area was barren and miserable, and unclaimed corpses could be seen on the roadside.

The government can only control the ten miles around the county and township, and out of this range, it needs to be armed and self-protected by the powerful and the villages and towns, and then report to the county and township to report the situation.

Tong Yuan, they walked on this road, and they had to rely on the connections and influence of the Four Seas Business Gang for more than half a year. Fortunately, these areas have always benefited from the trade routes of Hedong, Xiayang and other places, so they are welcomed by all parties along the way, which is quite safe and convenient.

After dinner on this day, Tong Yuan looked at the layout of the Haoqiang Dock Fort here, and the civil structure by the mountains and rivers. The owner of the dock fort usually manages 50,000 or 60,000 acres of land around him, and in wartime, he includes his fellow clansmen, tribesmen, and families.

In his superficial understanding, these dock forts can also be regarded as a spontaneous way for people to protect themselves in troubled times.

Of course, the leaders must be Haoqiang and the big clans, that is, the landlords. Other yeoman farmers gradually became dependent on them, reduced to tenant farmers, and even farmers and herdsmen, slaves, etc.,

Although these heroes will also cause some pressure on the tuntian model and the small-scale peasant economy,

However, Tong Yuan knew that they were not very important issues at the moment, and they were a force that could bring unity. He even felt that the Dock Fort, as a supplement to the wilderness, could be preserved for a longer period of time, and perhaps some culture and traditions could be preserved.

This is the case here. Merchants from the Four Seas Merchant Gang and merchants from Hedong and other places often trade with them, and they can also be used as a small trade transit station in Liangzhou and Bashu to provide some convenience for all parties.

"My lord, they have some good news."

Zhang Lu had just communicated with Wubao's side and learned some of the latest information.

Zhang Lu introduced: "After the lord arranged for Su Ze to write the text, the article quickly spread to Ma Teng and Han Sui through the counties and these dock forts. They were worried that doing something too much would affect the surrender, so they restrained a little. ”

According to reports, Tianshui was under a lot of pressure at the beginning, and the bandits' cavalry came in waves. However, three days ago, the trade route had been restored, and there was not much of a problem on the side of the merchant branch. ”

Tong Yuan said, "Very good, it is estimated that Jia Xu and the Shang Gang will have a chance to recover this place in the future." By the way, like this dock fort, did they also express their obedience and support when Ma Teng and Han Sui came over. ”

Zhang Lu sighed slightly, "That's true, whoever occupies the right side of the wind, they will fall to whomever they want." Two months ago, maybe there would have been manpower to help them, but now they will definitely be very deferential to the court. ”

Tong Yuan was a little speechless, the Shi clan had the troubles of the Shi clan, and the heroes also had the disadvantages of the heroes. The former is quite cultural and upright, but he regards himself as a villain outside himself, and squeezes out the border army and border people, and the latter is easy to talk to, but he only cares about his own land and population, and has cultivated a good ability to ride the wall.

Of course, there are some factions in both groups, which are different because of region, industry, family education, etc. And it can be transformed little by little under a more powerful trend and force.

However, none of them are suitable to be the masters of the world, and they have done a better job and insisted on land annexation for more than 100 years, and struggled out of control in the last few decades.

It's not good, hehe. They directly abandon martial arts for you, are keen on being weak, abandon the frontier, and are in a corner of peace.

Or they invite foreigners one after another, first exploit them, accumulate hatred, and then have a big war, rely on them again, and then become riding on the wall, swaying from side to side, and finally hugging people's thighs and singing praises.

Tong Yuan didn't want these people to play as if they were to meet the changes of the times. This change is world-class, and it has drawn a dividing line for the entire Eurasian continent, and it has also left many embarrassing regrets.
