Chapter 50: Ordinary Everyday Life
"Big brother, Junmi, everything will be left to you." Tang Zheng said to Cheng Pu.
Today is the third day after the Rinyama meeting, and the others left Rinkan for their respective territories as early as the day after the meeting. Tang Zheng asked Cheng Pu to stay for two more days and explained to him some matters to be paid attention to. "Don't worry, as long as I am in Junmi, there will be no trouble." Cheng Pu said. Junmi connects Xianbei to the border city, although Xianbei did not take advantage of the Yellow Turban Rebellion to invade the Han Dynasty this time, but Tang Zheng is still very worried about Junmi's situation. Now that Xianbei is getting stronger, no one dares to guarantee that he will coexist peacefully with the Han Dynasty, and there is a good saying that 'if you are not of my race, your heart will be different'. Tang Zheng can only prepare for a rainy day now, once Xianbei sees through the Han court, the strong and middle-class cadres outside the Han Dynasty will not be caught off guard by Tang Zheng.
"Big brother, Junmi is an important border town connecting Xianbei, although there has been constant friction between the Han and Xianbei over the years, but in general, it is still relatively calm. I don't know how long this relationship will last. Now that the Han is in turmoil, I am afraid that Xianbei will see through the weakness of the Han and will wave his troops into the customs, and we cannot pin the peace on the border on the enemy. Therefore, big brother, you should hurry up and build the road after you arrive in Junmi, only when the road is repaired can we transport more cement to the past, so that you will have enough cement to strengthen the city wall. At that time, even if Xianbei waves his troops, we will have a strong city to defend. Tang Zheng said to Cheng Pu.
"Don't worry, I know what to do." Cheng Pu also knew that now that the Han Dynasty was declining, and rebel armies from all over the country had emerged in an endless stream in recent years, so he did not hesitate to implement Tang Zheng's arrangement. After two years of getting along, Tang Zheng's judgment of things also made Cheng Pu quite admired, and he also unconditionally supported Tang Zheng's decision. "Brother Xian, this time I left home for my brother, and everything in the family is entrusted to Brother Xian. The eldest father is old, Yingying is still too young, and the affairs of the family are all taken care of by the virtuous brother. Cheng Pu said to Tang Zheng. It's all a family, and the eldest brother is talking about something. I have everything in the family, and I hope that my eldest brother will take care of himself. In addition, Junmi is not as good as other counties, we know very little about Junmi, and I don't feel at ease when I send other people, so I have to work hard for my brother to run it himself. Tang Zheng said. Take care of your brother, and go for your brother. Cheng Pu turned over and walked away. Tang Zheng looked at Cheng Pu who was riding away and waved his hand, and felt very emotional, glad that he met Cheng Pu's family when he came to this world, it was they who gave him meticulous care, they gave him home-like warmth, and they unconditionally supported any decision they made. Tang Zheng is very glad that he has such a righteous brother and a warm family, so that he will not be lonely in this strange world.
"Childe, Brother Cheng has gone far." Zhang Chao said. "Well, let's go back too." Tang Zheng retracted his thoughts and Zhang Chao turned around and walked back. Back at the city hall, Tang Zheng also threw himself into the mountains of government affairs. "Zhang Chao, you go and arrange, and then recruit a group of displaced people to increase the supply of coal and cement, now there are more and more places that need cement, with all our original cement kilns simply can not supply the consumption of so many places, so we must now build a few more cement kilns to increase the output of cement." Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao while reviewing the documents. "Childe, I'll arrange it." After speaking, Zhang Chao turned around and prepared to leave. "Wait a minute, there's no rush to do this. I have something else to ask you. Tang Zheng stopped Zhang Chao, who was about to leave. Childe, what do you want to ask? Zhang Chao stopped and asked curiously. Yes, you have also experienced these several major battles, we only have cavalry and infantry at the moment, and the two armies are fighting head-on, which may not be obvious, but it is quite disadvantageous for us to defend the city. So I would like to ask you if you know anyone else who is familiar with bows and arrows? "After several major battles, Tang Zheng felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for a single army to deal with the more complex situation in the future, so he planned to form a team of archers." Childe, who can I know? I used to be just a mountain village, and it was still a question whether the hunters could fill their stomachs, and it was all up to the appreciation of the son to live the life I have now. "Alright, don't be afraid of sycophants. In that case, you should be busy, and I will think about it again. Tang Zheng interrupted Zhang Chao, who was still trying to say something, Zhang Chao saluted Tang Zheng and turned to leave.
Tang Zheng sat on the chair without rubbing his temples and felt that his head was big, and now he knew that it was really too difficult to manage a place. This is only a county, and I don't know how difficult it will be to rule the whole world like those emperors. No wonder there are only a few Ming monarchs in history, and more of them are either inactive, or they are simply faint kings and tyrants, because that position is not intended for normal people at all. If you change to yourself, you would rather be a faint monarch, because sooner or later you will be tired to death if you are a bright monarch. Putting aside the cluttered thoughts, Tang Zheng continued to devote himself to dealing with government affairs.
"Brother Zheng, it's time to eat." Just when Tang Zheng was busy dealing with government affairs, Yingying walked in with a food box and said to Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng glanced up at Yingying and said, "Why are you here Yingying." "Grandpa saw that you didn't go home for dinner today, so he asked me to bring it to you, Brother Zheng, let's eat first!" Cheng Ying said as she took out the food from the food box and put it on the table. Tang Zheng put down the work in his hand and walked to the dining table. "Today's meal is so hearty?" Tang Zheng looked at a table of food and said. "Isn't it the same as usual?" Cheng Ying looked at Tang Zheng and said suspiciously. Tang Zheng looked at Cheng Ying and said with a smile: "Of course, what Yingying personally sent is more sumptuous than usual. Hearing Tang Zheng say this, Cheng Ying's whole face turned red, Cheng Ying will be ten years old after the New Year, in this era when people generally marry at the age of fourteen or fifteen and start a family, they already know some love between men and women in their teens, if they are still some little broken children who are in elementary school in the next life. Cheng Ying blushed and lowered her head and didn't speak, Tang Zheng looked at Cheng Ying with a red face and a low head, and suddenly understood that the joke was too big. He has always regarded Cheng Ying as his sister, and he just laughed casually and didn't mean anything else, but now Cheng Ying obviously misunderstood something. Tang Zheng hurriedly changed the topic and asked Cheng Ying, "By the way, why didn't we Yingying go out to play today?" "I'm grown up now, so I don't want to play with those little kids!" Hearing Cheng Ying say this, Tang Zheng almost squirted the rice in his mouth. A teenager said that a group of seven or eight-year-olds were little kids, and it felt awkward. Tang Zheng didn't say anything anymore and began to eat. He was afraid that if he continued to talk to Yingying, he would be killed by thunder.
