A team of medicine merchants from Anyang City attracted the attention of the Jizhou Chengning Army, and soon brought this caravan into the city and temporarily stayed on the side of the city gate.

The owner of the caravan, the young man who looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years of age, who spoke well and had a gentle manner, did not seem to be surprised at all, nor did he have any opinion.

The guards under him looked a little dissatisfied, and judging from the temperament of these people, it could be seen that they were all good fighters.

The faint anger between the eyebrows has already been somewhat restrained.

In a place like Jizhou City, the base camp of the Ning army, they can still be so fearless, either they don't know anything about the strength of the Ning army, or they are extremely confident.

The captain on duty carefully inspected the convoy and found nothing out of place.

If you don't let people go, some can't be justified.

But it was easy to let go, and I was a little uneasy.

After all, this team is from Anyang City, so they have to be treated carefully.

About an hour later, Ning Jun's inspection of the convoy had been completed, and the only thing that could be investigated was the weapons carried by these guards.

They have documents issued by Anyang Mansion on them, and walking on the side of Anyang Mansion and carrying weapons are naturally not illegal.

However, the documentary evidence of Anyang City has no effect on the Jizhou side.

The most important thing is that if these people only have weapons such as swords on them, Ning Jun will not pursue them.

After all, to protect the caravan, you can't walk the rivers and lakes with wooden sticks.

The weapons they carried were more complete than the most elite auxiliaries in Da Chu.

Bows and arrows, repeaters, cavalry shields, spears, lassoes, claws, you name it.

According to the rules of Jizhou City, the caravan guards must not include bows and crossbows in their weapons.

Just then, a detachment came from the city, and dozens of cavalry escorted a carriage to arrive.

A person got out of the carriage, it was Mr. Yan, who was going to the yamen, and halfway through, he happened to meet the soldiers who reported to the yamen.

After hearing about this, Mr. Yan immediately came over in person.

"But have you found it all out?"

Mr. Yan asked.

The lieutenant on duty replied truthfully, and Mr. Yan nodded.

He looked at the young man and smiled apologetically: "Anyang City has the rules of Anyang City, and Jizhou City has the rules of Jizhou City, please forgive me." ”

The young man looked at the official uniform on Mr. Yan's body, and his face changed slightly.

He is a light-hearted person, and he also has a slight emotional fluctuation, because he can see that the style of this official uniform is the same as that of the festival.

It's just that some specific patterns of the Great Chu Imperial Court have been removed, but the grade of the official uniform can still be seen clearly at a glance.

So, is it the chaos of the officials in Jizhou City, the appointment and dismissal at will, or is this person really not small?

If because of this little thing about entering the city gate, he can let a festival envoy come in person, and the style of doing things in Jizhou City will surprise him.

"My lord, it's okay, but if there are violations, you can act in accordance with the laws of Jizhou."

The young man leaned over slightly and replied, and then asked curiously, "May I ask who the lord is?" ”

Mr. Ti Yan, the captain on duty, replied: "This is our Jizhou Festival Envoy Yan. ”

The young man's eyes were in a trance, and he leaned over again: "Meet Lord Yan." ”

"I just happened to be passing by."

Mr. Yan said: "According to the rules of Jizhou City, you should temporarily detain your crossbow and bow and arrow, and you can leave other weapons, and when you go out of the city, you can go to the city gate guard to get your things, all things will have a detailed list of lists, you have to sign and draw, the city gate guard will use the seal, and the two sides will check when they receive it, if there is a missing number, you can go to the Yamen of Jizhou Mansion to find me." ”

After Mr. Yan finished speaking, he said: "You can enter the city after the handover, and I still have official business to deal with." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

The young man seemed to be unable to bear it after all, and screamed.

"Lord Yan, please stay, the student has something unclear and wants to ask the adult for advice."

Mr. Yan looked back at him: "What's the matter?" ”

The young man said: "As an envoy of the festival, the adult is the head of the officials in Jizhou, so why do you have to work for the adult to come forward in person." ”

Mr. Yan said with a smile: "I just said that I just happened to pass by and met someone who was going to the yamen to inform me about it, so I came over to deal with it by the way." ”

The young man said: "But my lord, even so, my lord can completely order his subordinates to arrange, find the chief official in charge of this matter to ask, all the officials perform their own duties, each has their own affairs, but the adult condescends to the noble, the student is really ......"

Mr. Yan said: "When you first came to Jizhou, you probably don't know much about Jizhou. ”

He turned back, looked at the young man and explained seriously: "Don't say it's me, even His Royal Highness King Ning happens to encounter this matter, and he will deal with it by the way." ”

"It is true that all officials perform their duties, and each performs his duties in order to do things in an orderly manner, in accordance with the rules, and to act in a classified manner, so as to get twice the result with half the effort."

"But today's incident, if I don't care about it, explain it, and then assign people to verify it step by step, it will be a waste of time."

"Because you are from Anyang, the officials below may not dare to call the shots, but in the end they still ask me for instructions, and you will have to wait at least one day at the gate of this city."

Mr. Yan said: "You are legal and reasonable people to do business, just because you are from Anyang, you will be delayed for a whole day, which is not the hospitality of Jizhou City." ”

Mr. Yan said with a smile: "King Ning said that if you are inefficient in doing things for the people, then you will not be qualified as an official, and if you come and go to Jizhou more in the future, you will know that within the official government here in Jizhou, there will be no delay in doing things." ”

Mr. Yan continued with some slight pride: "As I said just now, if I don't deal with it, these little things in your mouth will be reported layer by layer, and finally come to me, you have to wait for a day, one day is the limit stipulated by King Ning, and the matter within the governance of Jizhou Mansion, if you are indecided, you must report it to me within a day, and I will solve it, if it is somewhere else...... One day should not be better and faster than what I am doing here in Jizhou. ”

He smiled and asked, "Did I explain clearly?" ”

The young man bowed for the third time.

The first time was just a slight bow, which was considered a salute, and the second time was a slight bow to show respect.

This time, his body was pressed low, and his upper body was almost parallel to the ground.

"Thank you, sir."

Mr. Yan nodded and turned to leave.

Soon after Mr. Yan left, the Ning army temporarily seized their crossbows and bows and arrows, and left the other weapons for them.

The caravan left the vicinity of the city gate and marched towards the city.

Zhan Li, the head of the convoy's guards, smiled and said, "This Jizhou official, in terms of face, has done a very thorough job. ”

The young man sitting in the carriage frowned slightly.

"Zhan Li, I said, you are too frivolous, not deep-minded, and not good at thinking, but you always can't remember, and you like to say more to show that you understand that your strengths are not these."

The young man said: "Lord Yan is the envoy of Jizhou Jiedu, he can completely ignore this matter, this is one, and second, he is the honor of the lord with the temperance, is it necessary to explain it so clearly and thoroughly to people like us who are in business?" ”

He asked Zhanli: "If you say that you are doing a beautiful job on the face, then let me ask you, among the officials of Dachu, have you ever seen such a person?" ”

Zhanli hurriedly leaned over: "The subordinates know their mistakes, and the subordinates will ...... in the future."

The young man shook his head: "Don't say anything that you won't do in the future." ”

Zhan Li's face was ashamed.

The young man exhaled slowly.

"People say that under the rule of Jizhou, the atmosphere is clean and good, the officials know the official way, the people know the people's livelihood, the officers do not interfere with the people's governance, and the civilian officials do not touch the military affairs ......"

He looked out the window and said to himself: "When I came, I didn't believe it, but now after seeing Lord Yan, I believe it." ”

"At first, I thought the rumors were a bit excessive, but now that I look at it, the rumors may still be very insufficient."

After a pause, he ordered: "After staying at the inn, no life is allowed and strictly restricted." ”

Zhanli immediately said, "Obey." ”

The young man looked at the scholar sitting opposite, and when he saw that his face had darkened, he knew what the little guy was thinking.

"You probably thought that you finally arrived in Jizhou, but you are not allowed to go out for a walk, so boring?"

Cartridge nodded: "It's boring......"

The young man said: "When you arrive at the inn, take a good rest, rest for a day, and I'll take you out again tomorrow." ”

Cartridge: "Hmm......"

The young man sighed: "You are a scholar, but you still want me to comfort you all day long." ”

Cartridge: "Hmm......"

While they waited at the gates, there were also people waiting for them.

When they were still halfway, the people who had arranged in advance had already found an inn in Jizhou City.

After leading them to the inn, all the preparations were ready.

The young man got out of the car, and just as he was about to enter the door, someone followed from behind.

He inquired and learned that the person who came up was actually sent by Lord Yan, the envoy of Jiedu.

Lord Yan explained that because of the delay in their entry into the city, in order to compensate, he came to see where they lived and sent some local specialties from Jizhou.

No matter how light the young man is, he is also a little shocked at this time.

Being an official like this, acting like this, why worry about Jizhou not prospering?

If this continues, which of the businessmen who come and go doesn't like this place?

In some places, it is enough for a businessman to go once, and he will not set foot a second time in his life.

But a place like Jizhou treats businessmen so well, everyone who has been here will continue to come.

"In just two or three years, Jizhou City has recovered so strongly, and it has even far exceeded the time when Zeng Ling was there."

The young man let out a deep breath after talking to himself.

"Remarkable."

He stepped into the inn.

Arriving at the room, he walked to the window and watched the traffic on the street.

Ten years ago, he once came to Jizhou, and at that time, the envoy of the festival in the city was still Zeng Ling, and the master was still Yang Jixing, the prince of Yu.

At that time, he was only seven or eight years old, but he probably remembered the customs and customs of Jizhou.

When I came back after a gap of 10 years, I felt that the street scene I saw was still vaguely familiar, but the atmosphere here was completely different.

Is it okay to change a place so quickly?

Just a year ago, he had spoken to someone about the rule of the people, and the person he was talking to at that time was of a very high status, and he only had one sentence on the rule of the people......

The people can be foolish, but they must not be civilized.

And in Li Qi's Jizhou City, it seems that you can see ...... everywhere Li Qi seems to be intent on cultivating people's wisdom.

At this moment, a group of children with school bags on the opposite side came out of the house laughing, like a group of cheerful little goats.

But when they went out of the door, and when they came out into the street, they bowed neatly to the gentleman who had sent them out.

The children are wearing the same clothes, but this is certainly not an official school.

"You can't see this kind of private school anywhere else."

He muttered to himself.

Just as Xiao Er came in to deliver refreshments, he asked who the teacher of the private school opposite was.

Xiao Er said with a smile, it is not a private school, it is a thirty-six private school opened by His Royal Highness King Ning in Jizhou City, and all school-age children can come here to study without charging money.

All the money was spent by the Jizhou government.

Hearing these words, the young man's heart was shaken again.

After Xiao Er went out, he looked at the dredged cartridge and asked, "This ...... Is it a thief? ”

The cartridge also did not know how to answer.
