The first winter experienced when he came to the Great Sui Dynasty was over, and Yang Er saw the cold winter 1400 years ago, which was a kind of severe cold that could really easily freeze people to death. Yang Er, who was sitting in the carriage, recalled the time just passed with the shaking of the body.

Today is the fifth day of swaying slowly in the car, and the early spring sun outside the car is warmly baking the earth that is about to wake up. The willow trees on the side of the road are already eager to show their new shoots, and the snow between the grass is slowly melting, converging into streams of water that I don't know where it is going. As we walked southward every day, the snow on the ground and mountains slowly disappeared, and the earth reappeared its original green. Passing by the mountains and forests, the birdsong sounds one after another, as if singing for the coming of spring, but also bring vitality to the mountains and rivers.

Listening to the chorus of birds outside and inhaling the incomparably fresh air, Yang Er always had a feeling that he was not in the Sui Dynasty but in a paradise. Pushing the car window and looking out, the eyes are full of pure pure green, and the official road is lined with endless rice fields, and countless simple villagers are plowing the fields. Or is this Central Plains land more vibrant, and his Hedong is still slightly inferior, Yang Er thought in his heart.

In the battle of Tuyuhun in winter, Yang Erlian made a surprise attack and broke the Tuyuhun army of 200,000. It also made Tuyuhun Xinshan surrender to himself in disguise instead of to the Sui Dynasty, and his military intelligence agency has infiltrated all strata of Tuyuhun, firmly controlling Shan Yu, the royal family and the high-level of Tuyuhun Kingdom. The invasion of culture and the sinicization of customs are also being carried out imperceptibly step by step.

Still disdainful of looking at the princelings' faces in the capital, he returned to Luzhou, Hedong County with his generals and 50,000 elite soldiers before the New Year's Festival. Throughout the winter, the whole county of Hedong enjoyed the peace and harmony brought by the new land system and economic system, and more and more immigrants from all over the country flocked to Hedong, they brought wealth, brought vigorous business opportunities, and made the whole Hedong County more vibrant. A round of fierce and sweet troubles brought about by the stability and happiness of life is the birth of a newborn child. To this end, Yang Er's cabinet ministers have specially introduced a series of policies to encourage childbirth, implementing high living subsidies for families with more than three children, and special subsidies for the growth of female babies for mothers who give birth to baby girls, relying on this subsidy to enable each family to raise baby girls up to the age of 15. At this time, the one-child family will be punished in disguise. Under Yang Er's special attention, the county realized the government-run teaching plan and built hundreds of elementary schools of enlightenment, which of course still follow the teaching methods and content of this dynasty. Yang Er wanted to implement the new syllabus and add basic education content such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry, but he felt that he was a little overwhelmed, so he forgot it first, this time was not the time to challenge the ancient traditional Confucian education, and it was not yet time to train scientists.

Yang Er has almost dredged up the problems of people's livelihood, and all the rules and regulations in Hedong have also tended to be perfect, and Pei Shiju, Pei Yun and other capable ministers are enough to govern the small Hedong in an orderly manner without too much interference themselves. His focus was still on eliminating the princes of the feudal towns and speeding up the unification.

After being in the Sui Dynasty for so long, except for a few trips between Hedong and the capital, the other places of the Great Sui are unknown to the current Yang Er, especially how the big cities are governed under the hands of other princes and kings? What are the ones you can learn from? It's not okay to do it behind closed doors, you still need to go out and see other people's world. This is the reason why Yang Er's micro-service went to Luoyang and Shandong in Zhongzhou. Those who traveled with Yang Er were Chuchen, Zhong Jian, Laihu'er, Yu Wenhualong, and a Tuyuhun princess Abeiyi, as well as 6 personal generals. Yang Er went to find Ma Shumou before leaving, and he originally kindly invited Ma Shumou to go to Luoyang to have a look, but Ma Shumou was not interested in this, and he was busy directing his subordinates to try out various firearms in his studio all day long. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that his current deputy is actually a cute girl, that is, the virgin mother, the sister of General Tonghuan. Uncle Ma is interested in his sister-in-law's matter, Yang Er has already mentioned it to Tong Huan, and Tong Huan also recognizes Uncle Ma's ability, that is, his future brother-in-law is a little worse in appearance. Just let it be, when she grew up in Tongjiazhuang's house, the virgin mother who couldn't stay begged her eldest brother to find an errand to do in Uncle Ma's logistics equipment department, so she agreed to let her sister feel this future husband who had not yet been selected. Of course, Uncle Ma is also in a good mood when he sees the person he likes, and there are others in his eyes? Not to mention going out with Yang Er. The virgin is responsible for the delicate work of arranging gunpowder in Ma Shumou's firearms research and development studio, of course, under the training of Ma Shumou.

After leaving a conclusion that he forgot his senses, Yang Er no longer let Uncle Ma go to Luoyang together, and there was one less person to talk about his troubles along the way. However, Ma Shumou's performance during this period of time also exceeded his expectations, not only successfully trial-produced a variety of firearms to kill the enemy, but also kept his promise to Yang Er very seriously, that is, he had selected more than a dozen acres of mountainous land in the Shaohua Valley and sowed corn seeds, and when Yang Er left, he heard that the seedlings had broken the ground. There is also the rice seeds brought by himself, although there are not many, but they have been cultivated by Ma Shumou and have produced seedlings, and he also chose the best paddy field in Shaohua Mountain and planted rice seedlings in the field himself, attracting hundreds of people in the valley to watch. The smooth progress of these two items made Yang Er very happy.

There is a maximum of one day's journey to Luoyang, there are no big cities along the way, there are some villages, and from time to time you can also meet some small towns, and every time you go to a market town, you can find that there is a local prestige of the foreign owner. The situation is very different from Hedong. The largest market town in Hedong is the local Lizheng, who is the manager of each market town and the supervisor of the surrounding land production, and they are all the low-level officers of the rank of the chief who are most sincere to Yang Er.

"Young master, 1 mile ahead is Luocheng Town, you can rest in the town inn tonight." The person who was talking outside the car was Zheng Xu, and he was still dressed as a young proprietor businessman of the Zheng family's caravan. Behind Yang Er's carriage were more than ten carriages loaded with various goods, and when outsiders saw it, they would only regard this group of people as an ordinary caravan from the direction of Chang'an to Luoyang, Zhongzhou, to sell and buy goods, such caravans were not uncommon on this official road. Zheng Xu has been back and forth many times on this road and is very familiar with it. This is also the reason why Yang Er brought Zheng Xu as a cover.

"Boss Zheng, just look at the arrangement." Yang Er said casually in the car. These things that arrange the itinerary are all arranged by Zheng Xu, Yang Er is only responsible for chatting with Chuchen and Abeyi in the car along the way, guessing riddles, brain teasers and telling stories to these two little beauties, of course, the two little girls love to listen to "Liao Zhai", and the poignant stories often make the two of them cry.

The group entered Luocheng before sunset, which was not far from Luoyang, only one day away, and it was also a big town. Zheng Xu directly led the group into the largest inn in the town, and when the innkeeper saw Zheng Xu coming in, he hurriedly stopped his bookkeeping work and stepped forward to greet him. It turned out that this place was originally a business invested by Zheng Xu's family in this place, and the innkeeper saw that the young proprietor was coming, so he hurriedly led everyone into the lobby and sat down, and ordered the work to drive the chariots and horses to the backyard and put them away.

Yang Er entered the hall, there were not many guests in the hall, so he looked for an empty table on the side of the window and sat down, Zhong Jian, Chuchen, and Abeiyi also sat next to Yang Er, Yu Wenhua Long and Lai Hu'er took 6 guards to the backyard to sort out the goods, and inspected the surrounding environment by the way. Then, he led everyone into the house and found a nearby empty table to sit around. After Zheng Xu chatted with the innkeeper for a few words, he returned to Yang Er's table.

"Young master, this was originally an industry of my Zheng family in Luoyang, and it was all my own family. I have instructed the shopkeeper to arrange a good room, and I will come at once after a short time of wine and meat. With that, Zheng Xu hurriedly picked up the teapot on the table and was about to pour tea for Yang Er and the others. Yang Er shook the paper fan lightly and didn't speak, just smiled and nodded. Although they are two completely different girls, but along the way, Izuchen and Abeyi have become acquainted with each other, and they are whispering at this time.

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the post road outside the inn, and Yang Er couldn't help but look out the window. There are 4 horses running from far and near on the post road, and the horses are extremely fast. Before Yang Er could see who was on the horse, he heard a neighing of horses, and it turned out that these four people were all holding their horses outside the door of this inn and leading the horses into the inn. The shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to take the horses of the four people, led them to the stable on one side to feed the horses, and the four people entered the hall before and after.

Yang Er was curious, raised his eyes, and saw that the two people in front of him were 24 or 5 years old, both of them had short hair, tied with a cyan scarf, dressed tightly, and a sword hanging from their waists. The two people in the back are not very old, they are about 20 years old, and from the perspective of their clothes, they are obviously the entourage of the first two people, and they also have a waist knife hanging from each other. Yang Er was stunned for a while, and was about to speak, Zheng Xu hurriedly said softly to Yang Er when he got up to pour tea: "Young master, these four people should be characters in the green forest, and I can often see people from the rivers and lakes who go to Luoyang in this inn." But all the merchants who go to Luoyang, the past Jianghu people will find an inn in this town to rest, and enter Luoyang on the second day. This is the time for the inn to pick up guests. ”

Yang Er nodded when he heard this, smiling silently. The guards at the table who came to guard the table saw that there was nothing out of the ordinary about the people who came in, so they didn't care, and let go of the hand holding the hilt of the sword. At this time, the guys who served the drinks and dishes successively put the dishes on the table. Yang Er didn't pay attention to it, beckoned everyone to start eating, and after reversing the road, he was really hungry.

"The old shopkeeper, although he brought good wine and good food. I'm arranging two upper rooms, and I'm staying here tonight. After the four sat down, one of them shouted at the shopkeeper at the counter.

"Big brother, did you say that there are many heroes in the rivers and lakes who went this time? Before the New Year's Festival, it is said that all the heroes on the green forest road have received the order of the rivers and lakes. A short-bearded man sat down and opened the conversation without waiting for the food to be served, and asked another bearded man.

"Second brother, there is no need to ask, the people in the rivers and lakes either did not receive the order from the rivers and lakes, but whoever received it had to go to the face of the second brother. It's okay, just take the way to live with Brother Hou of Peach Mountain for a while, and then it's not too late to go. The bearded man should be served with tea.

While talking, cooked beef, roast chicken and other dishes were served along with two pots of wine, and these people talked over the wine. Yang Er's ears were sharp, and he had already listened to the words of these people. Secretly looking in my heart, second brother? Jianghu Order? Isn't it related to the fact that he wanted to beat me Wagang Mountain a year ago. Yang Er thought alone, drinking the five-grain spring wine in the cup. The calculation time is also about the same, because of the heavy snow and cold years ago, the roads were blocked, and it was inconvenient for the heroes of the rivers and lakes to gather, and this attempt to recapture Wagang was bound to be postponed until after the snow melted in spring. It's just that I don't know what the scale of the Jianghu order issued by this second brother is large? The result? Thinking of this, Yang Er became curious, so he deliberately went over to ask for clarification.

"Hey, I said shopkeeper, don't you have any good wine here? He used this horse urine to prevaricate us, maybe he saw that I had no money? The short-bearded man stomped the glass on the table and screamed.

"A few guest officers, I only have this wine here, or the best goods I bought from the Luoyang Peony Pavilion Restaurant the day before yesterday, why is it not good?" The shopkeeper said hoarsely from behind the counter.

"Smack!" I saw the bearded man on the side slap his hand on the table and asked, "Good goods?" When I first came in, I smelled a smell of wine, and I hooked out the worms in my stomach, which was not the taste of this bad wine, but why? After that, this man turned his eyes to look at a few pots of wine on the table of the people who came to Hu'er, and blamed Lai'er and other soldiers for eating too quickly with wine and meat, which made the house full of wine.

"Everyone, this wine is indeed the best wine in my inn, please forgive me." The innkeeper hurriedly came to the table from behind the counter and explained with a smile.

"I don't care about the good things you say, just take the wine from his table and serve a few pots to grandpa." The short-bearded man got up and grabbed the front of the innkeeper and shouted with a glare.

At this moment, two tables of customers walked in one after another outside the store, looking like a group of reading people traveling together. Seeing that the table of drinkers was making trouble again, he hurriedly sat down on the table in the distance and looked quietly here. A few people who came to Hu'er also stopped their wine glasses, lowered their heads and only cared about eating meat, and they didn't know what to do, so they didn't talk to them.

"Hua Long, let a few brothers go to the car and get four jugs of wine and give them to the four of them. How can people in the same rivers and lakes be without good wine. Yang Er called the pseudonym of Yu Wenhua Long here, and said in his heart that he was just lending wine to get acquainted with these heroes who seemed to have a heroic temperament, and it would be good to have a good fate.

Yu Wenhualong heard Yang Er's command, hurriedly got up and made a move, and then got up with the two guards. Only, Laihu'er looked puzzled, I don't know why. As a general of the imperial court, he doesn't look down on the wild road at all.

Hearing Yang Er's words, the short-bearded man let go of the shopkeeper. turned his head to Yang Er's side and hugged his fist and thanked him. Yang Er just nodded and smiled.

After a while, Yu Wenhualong and the others each took 4 pots of wine and came in. Yang Er got up and picked up two pots and came to the table of the four people, put the wine jug on the table casually, and said with a smile: "I am a salt merchant from the capital, and my surname is Yang Mingkuo. Here are a few pots of good wine brought with you from the capital, which are very different from the village mash here, and please drink a few of them together. With that, he put the two pots of wine in his hand on the table, and Yu Wenhualong hurriedly put the two pots of wine in his hand together.

When the bearded man heard this, he hurriedly got up and said: "It turned out to be Yang Gongzi, and the two of us were originally brothers, I am brother Xue Wanche, and this is the foolish brother Wanchun." Thank you for the wine. ”

Yes? It turned out to be him!
