Chapter 223: Luckily

Mao Kui is indeed a character, he can not only write, but also know the number and geography, and is an all-rounder with extraordinary ability. Of course, the magic at that time was not the current mathematics, but China's unique study of the relationship between heaven, earth and man, mysterious and profound, in fact, according to Zhao Yu's understanding is the modern feudal superstition, gods and ghosts. And he is not a defender, he doesn't care what he believes, as long as he has the ability, but the reality disappointed him, he left at the end of his term of office thirty years ago, and went to cultivate immortals, leaving only a half-pulled project outside Yazhou City. By the way, the city wall in front of him was also covered with bricks by Mao Kui.

Looking at Yazhou City in front of him, Zhao Yu still sighed, this is another small city, but it is still a lot bigger than Wanzhou City that he left a few days ago, and he is not too disappointed. The circumference of the whole city is more than 240 zhang, long from east to west, short from north to south, and it is rectangular instead of the common square city. There is a zhang six feet high, open the east, west, south three city gates, build the moon city, was built in the fourth year of Qingyuan a hundred years ago, and the earth city was wrapped with bricks by the Mao Zhijun who had a faint trace of the fairy after a few decades.

Zhao Hao's team blew and beat into the city, but he found that there was no welcome scene of thousands of empty alleys even after such a toss, and it was estimated that there were only a few hundred people watching along the street, and there were not as many soldiers of the former army who were in charge of guarding. However, from the excitement on their faces, it can be seen that this scene is indeed enough to shock them. But when you turn your face and think about it, there are only more than 1,000 households and more than 5,000 people in the Jiyang Army, but they are distributed on the ground within a radius of hundreds of miles.

After entering the city, naturally some people have already arranged their accommodations, and without exception, the state government with the best conditions is the best. Zhao Yu washed and changed clothes and took a break, without asking, the next program was a traditional project - eating. I don't like to welcome him, but I can't escape it, because the banquet itself is a kind of officialdom culture, but it is also an occasion to understand each other and show respect.

However, today's scene made Zhao Hao very comfortable, there were not many people attending the banquet, there were only the chief and adjutant at the state and county levels in the locality, and only Huang Xianyao and a few familiar commanders attended by the former army. There is no silk and bamboo singing and dancing, there are no delicacies, of course, there is no shortage of delicacies and delicacies, because according to modern standards, anything can be counted as seafood from the sea, and the so-called mountain delicacies can be said to be everywhere in this era, like most of the animals that are more precious than people in later generations are pests, and they must be removed by all means, let alone protected.

And wine has always been listed as a forbidden item at the banquet of the Shuai Mansion. On the one hand, because His Royal Highness is young, it is not suitable to drink, and everyone is exempt if he does not drink; The two Qiongzhou are short of food and cannot be self-sufficient, and most of them need to be purchased from outside. However, winemaking requires the consumption of a large amount of food, so after Zhao Yu arrived in Qiong, he strictly forbade folk winemaking, and only an official workshop affiliated with the Duzuoyuan licensed the production of a small amount of soju mainly for medical use, and then it was used as a reward; The three are now in wartime, and the army is in a state of combat readiness at any time, and it is easy to make mistakes when drinking, and it is even more forbidden. Therefore, it has become a common practice to have no wine in the marshal's house.

This arrangement made Zhao Hao feel very pleased, and the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. And a strange thing like Han Zhen is a scarce material after all, Huang Xianyao needless to say, he has been by His Royal Highness's side for a long time, of course, he will not say something out of tune, and talk more about the military affairs that he is interested in. Then He Rende can do Ying Tianfu Yin, of course, he is not a sophisticated person, and he only talks about some local folk customs and some anecdotes, and skillfully let His Royal Highness understand the current situation of Geeyang......

"Thanks to Huang Tong's guidance, nothing went wrong, and the official thanked me!" The banquet ended in such a friendly and cordial atmosphere, and after sending His Royal Highness back to the backyard to rest, He Rende wiped the sweat on his face and saluted Huang Xianyao. He has been an official for many years, and he is inevitably invited to entertain envoys, and it can also be said that he has rich experience. But when he learned that His Royal Highness was going to inspect the Jiyang Army, He Rende was still very nervous, one was that His Royal Highness was a child, but the problem was that such a child was his superior, of course, he could not be received by ordinary law, and some of the things he heard about His Highness made him very embarrassed.

"It's a trivial matter, Lord He doesn't have to be polite, let's listen to orders under the Shuaifu, and it is appropriate to support each other." Huang Xianyao smiled and said politely, but he was very useful in his heart, you must know that people have been second-class members, although they are depreciated, they are much older than their own qualifications, and they are literate, they are martial, and they are naturally inferior.

"Eh, that's not the case, if it weren't for the Huang system, I'm afraid this official would be scolded at this moment!" He Rende waved his hand.

At that time, it was difficult to be embarrassed, but he had to prepare, and there was no way but to follow the convention, He Rende not only moved out of the mansion but also replaced the things in the mansion with new ones, and arranged the upper and lower servants. He also sent people out to buy some strange things, and prepared them to eat according to their own understanding, of course, they were all good things. But what is a good thing? Of course, what is lacking is good, what is expensive is good.

Yazhou City is such a big place, the east city farts, and the west city can hear the movement, not to mention the big fight in the government. When Huang Xianyao heard about it, he came to visit him and told him not to do this, just clean the house, and remove the new furniture and replace it with old things. Meiji maid hurried away, leaving only a few rough envoys who listened to the call! He Rende was very puzzled by this, in the past, it was like this when he received Shangguan, even if His Royal Highness didn't like it, there was Fu Shuai! But Huang Xianyao's words scared him enough, only to know that His Royal Highness doesn't like luxury, and he also hates waste, and he is doing this on His Highness's horse's feet, so it's strange if he doesn't get kicked.

So He Rende was worried and let Huang Xianyao see the gifts and food he had prepared, and he only told him that His Royal Highness paid for meals outside, so as not to increase the burden on the local area, and when he embezzled the food money of the sergeant, he was sweating again. Of course, public funds are used to buy these things, and doing this by yourself is either to make His Highness misunderstand that there will be a suspicion of bribery, or there are concerns about corruption, so he quickly returns everything that can be returned, and sells those that cannot be returned as soon as possible to settle the account. re-arranged the reception with Huang Xianyao, and now it is a blessing, of course, I am grateful.

"Huang Tong, how will you arrange it tomorrow?" Today is complete, and tomorrow is not yet at the bottom, He Rende asked again.

"Tomorrow His Highness will review the former army for sure, and then he will inspect the barracks and meet with the chiefs of the various departments, and the day will pass. Naturally, the meals are also in the army, and the adults only have to accompany them, and they have their own arrangements. Huang Xianyao waved his hand.

"And the day after tomorrow?" He Rende thought that he didn't have to worry about me tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow it would inevitably be his turn to inspect the place, and he still couldn't escape.

"You just have to do that......" Huang Xianyao thought about...... (To be continued.) )
