Chapter 327: A Trip to Xi'an

There are several roads from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, and the nearest one is naturally Fu Luo Road, which is not far from Sujia Village.

However, the road is quite steep, and it is not too friendly for pedestrians like Liu Ximing with many carriages.

In the end, Liu Ximing chose to go east along Yangxian County, take the meridian road into Guanzhong, and go out from here not far from Xi'an.

Su Jin just needed to go to the Shaanxi Xuezheng Yamen to go through the formalities and resume his registration in the Xuezheng Yamen.

When Liu Ximing and his entourage walked out of Yangxian, Qi Wenbin and others thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it.

How do you know that after some investigation, I found that not only the more than 1,000 people taken away by Liu Ximing, but also more than 1,000 people in Sujia Village who were fully armed and defending.

The sentinels sent by the Qi family, the Yu family, and others were only slightly within ten miles of Sujia Village, and they were fiercely driven away by the scouts arranged around by the Long Xiang Brigade.

A few slow runners were shot a few times, and the Su family looked like this, and once again frightened everyone in Yangxian County.

The thoughts that Qi Wenbin and the others had just raised were suddenly extinguished again.

Liu Ximing only smiled contemptuously when he received the report from Sujia Village, and threw the note directly into the brazier, and he had fully realized the gentry's lust and guilt, so he naturally had a guard against it.

The meridian road is thousands of miles long, and it took Liu Ximing and his party fifteen days to come out of the Qinling Mountains in a hurry, and even the Chinese New Year was spent in the mountains.

At the end of the meridian road is Ju County, and further north is Xi'an.

Liu Ximing and his entourage felt that something was wrong when they walked out of the Qinling Mountains, and Guanzhong, which was supposed to be fertile for thousands of miles and rich people, actually looked dilapidated.

Not only is the phenomenon of land being abandoned even more serious than in Hanzhong, but there are also many corpses that have fallen on both sides of the road along the way.

Flocks of vultures and other scavengers were constantly hovering over the corpses, and even though the Longxiang Brigade had been battled, it was still a little chilling to see this scene.

Not to mention the hordes of disheveled and decrepit homeless people.

After only walking dozens of miles, Liu Ximing finally couldn't help it.

"Pass the order down and prepare to relieve the people along the way."

Du Liangji and others praised one after another: "Brother Wujiang is really a benevolent and righteous person. ”

However, Su Jin grabbed Liu Ximing and persuaded him: "Lord, look at the situation in Shaanxi, I am afraid that there are no less than one million displaced people, and how to relieve it by relying on us alone, please think twice." ”

Liu Ximing sighed, "Changtai breathed to cover up his tears, mourning the difficulties of people's livelihood." Now that you and I have spare strength, why not do this thing of accumulating virtue, Mr. Xingzhi doesn't need to persuade again, just do it. ”

"Hey"

Su Jin sighed and had no choice but to follow the arrangement.

Liu Ximing did not have a sudden kindness in doing this, he did not forget the purpose of this visit to Shaanxi, mainly to open up trade routes and obtain important raw materials such as cotton.

With the precedent of the Datong Society in Shunqing Province, he naturally knew the importance of fame in a place.

Besides, his space now contains more than 100,000 stones of various grains, and removing the rations left for Sujia Village is enough to consume for a while.

As the Longxiang Brigade set up porridge shops on both sides of the road, the homeless people who were originally wandering around gradually gathered around the Longxiang Brigade.

By the time Liu Ximing and his entourage arrived in Juxian County, more than 10,000 people had already rushed over after hearing the news.

Even if the control is strengthened, the Longxiang Brigade still has to use up more than 70 stones of grain every day.

Fortunately, Liu Ximing's big action has also achieved great results, I heard that there is a good man from Sichuan who gave porridge along the way, and Zhang Zongmeng, the county commander of Juxian County, also personally met with Liu Ximing and his party.

Liu Ximing had just entered Guanzhong, and his reputation began to spread in Guanzhong Sergeant Lin.

Su Jin and the others were not idle, and took advantage of the soup kitchen to find out the bottom of the homeless people.

Those displaced people who met the recruitment conditions of the Liu family were screened one by one, and vouchers were issued.

With such a large team of displaced people, Liu Ximing and his party continued to go north along the way.

The closer he got to Xi'an, the more excited Liu Ximing became.

He had also been to Xi'an in modern times, but it was a completely modern city after all, which was naturally very different from the prosperous Han and Tang dynasties he imagined.

However, when their group arrived in Xi'an, Liu Ximing was a little disappointed.

Xi'an in this era is not even as good as what he sees in modern times.

Su Jin saw his depression, and only after asking clearly did he smile: "This dynasty is built on the foundation of Xi'an City, and it is said that the scale is only the size of the imperial city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty. ”

But Xie Wenle didn't know why Liu Ximing was depressed, he looked from afar, Xi'an City was like a giant beast on the horizon.

"The city of Xi'an is no less than Chengdu, it is a rare big city, where in the world is there such a huge city in addition to the two capitals, you can be content."

Li Biao said humbly on the side: "Hehe, if our Liujia Village is completed, it should be similar to this." ”

"Hahaha"

Liu Ximing laughed and patted Li Biao on the shoulder, and the depression caused by the loss of the legacy of the Han and Tang dynasties disappeared.

Yes, there is oneself, even if it is to recreate the Tang Dynasty.

"Into the City"

"Slow"

Liu Ximing was about to ride into the city with a trembling face, when a shout came, and seventy or eighty literati walked out of the city gate.

First, a young man was dressed in a brocade robe, wearing a mink warm hat, and his well-defined face was full of disgust.

"You're the nouveau riche from Sichuan?"

Liu Ximing was a little unhappy when he heard this, and he didn't get off the horse, but directly rolled his eyes condescendingly.

"Good dogs don't get in the way."

"Bold," the group of scholars who followed him said angrily.

On the spot, several people wanted to come over and grab Liu Ximing's reins, how could the personal guard group let them succeed, and someone immediately rushed to Liu Ximing and stopped him.

The brocade-clothed young man glanced at Li Biao and the other strong men contemptuously, and sneered at Liu Ximing, "Sure enough, there are a few stinky money to show off, this is Shaanxi, not a place for you Sichuan people to show off, hurry up." ”

"Yes, get out of Guanzhong."

Seventy or eighty people blocked the city gate and shouted, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone near the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the gate originally planned to take care of it, but when they saw the dress of these people, they directly shrank their heads as if they were invisible, and let them block the city gate.

Such a big movement made Liu Ximing feel a little weak, after all, he was unfamiliar with life, and the strong dragon still didn't suppress the head snake.

Liu Ximing sighed in his heart, carefully considered it and turned over and dismounted.

He gently pushed away the soldiers of the Guards Regiment who were blocking in front of him, and walked to the brocade-clothed young man and hugged his fist.

"Liu Xi, a member of Shunqing Mansion in Xiachuan, ordered Liu Wujiang, please forgive me for being clumsy, I don't remember what I had with your senior brothers, I don't know why you are here?"

Seeing Liu Ximing saluting, the young man in brocade did not look as arrogant as before, but he still just stood with his hands down.

"I am the Shaanxi filial piety Qin Yi Qin Gong, you are the leader of this gang?"

Qin Yi snorted coldly, "No wonder you are so bold, it turns out that you are relying on your meritorious fame, and you are a foreigner who stirs up the wind and rain in the pass." ”

Qin Yi spoke official dialect, but with an obvious Shaanxi accent, Liu Ximing listened carefully and even guessed before he understood.

At this time, Su Jin, Xie Wenle and others also surrounded from behind, and the dress of the group obviously made Qin Yi and the others stunned.

Su Jin stepped forward and stood with Liu Ximing and bowed to everyone: "Hanzhong Mansion filial piety Su Jin Su Xingzhi has seen all your fellow students, and you are blocking my way for no reason, isn't it even more rude?" As for what you have said, but I wonder if you can elaborate? ”

"Hanzhong Mansion raised people Su Xingzhi?"

Qin Yi's face changed slightly, and after whispering twice, he returned to normal.

"What do you say, you outsiders are buying people's hearts in Guanzhong with a few stinky money, what do you want?"

"Don't think that we don't know your plans, we must want to scavenge oil and water from the people of Guanzhong, but your calculation is wrong, with me and Sergeant Guan, you can succeed."

Liu Ximing was a little angry, he understood Qin Yi's words, and he clearly disliked himself and others for giving relief along the road to make Sergeant Guan lose face.

What the fuck is this, you vampires are reluctant to spend money on disaster relief, and you guys have to boycott when they pay for it?

Liu Ximing once again had a strong dislike for the gentry of this era.

The faces of Su Jin, Xie Wenle and others were also not good-looking, especially Su Jin.

He had always known that Sergeant Guan Lin was conservative, but he didn't expect it to be so far.

"Qin Xiaolian, I am also from Shaanxi, so it doesn't seem to be a big deal to pay for disaster relief."

"Besides", Su Jin turned around and pointed at Liu Ximing and the others, "Even if outsiders come to do such things, after all, they will benefit the people of Guanzhong, wouldn't it be against the way of the saints to do this." ”
