Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Zhen took Cai Boli and Peng Qi to walk on the streets of Xijin Province to feel the atmosphere of the New Year here, although Xijin Mansion has been lost for many years, but the annual customs here are basically the same as the Great Song Dynasty, both shaped like the moon, the "horn" that eats all over the world, and the Tusu wine that has been drunk since the youngest.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Cai Boyu, who was drooling, and said: "Why can't you change the problem of delicious food, and somehow, the dignified Song Dynasty horse seems to have never eaten, don't forget that Cai Ji started in a restaurant!" ”

Cai Boyu whispered aggrieved: "It's not because of the official family, Cai Ji started with delicious food, and after a long time, I like all kinds of food, when I first came to Xijin Mansion and saw these snacks combined with Khitans and Han people, my subordinates couldn't help it......"

Peng Qihaha laughed and pointed to a stall and said, "Official, Cai Boyu is staring at that stall selling scones and mutton!" I'm going to buy some for you and Cai to try? ”

Or Peng Qi is intimate, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and went to buy mutton scones in Cai Boyu's expectant eyes, the baked golden cakes are mixed with fragrant mutton, only a little cumin and salt can give full play to its deliciousness, and the lingering aroma attracts pedestrians from time to time.

Zhao Zhen glanced at Cai Boyu and said, "Bao Xiren slipped away?" ”

At the mention of Bao Zheng, Cai Boyu's expression instantly became embarrassed and pointed to the guide and said: "Bao Zheng said that he couldn't stay in Xijin Mansion, and he didn't dare to slack off with the emperor's order, so he went to Liangxiang yesterday, I'm afraid that he will run around in Xijin Mansion this year!" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded, this does echo Bao Zheng's style of doing things, in his eyes, the emperor's order is bigger than the New Year's Festival, and the New Year's is small, and it is what he has to do to appease the people of Xijin Mansion and maintain the stability of the local county.

I asked him to grasp the rule of officials and carry out local administrative construction, but he can't forget to sleep and eat like this, right? Even during the New Year of the Great Song Dynasty, the ministers of the two provinces still have to rest, let alone you as a pacification envoy.

Even Zhao Zhen, the emperor, was afraid of tired Bao Zheng, after all, he was a conscientious minister, and if he was tired, he really couldn't say it.

Cai Boyu is different, this kid is using his own ingenuity to be lazy for himself, the materials and necessary equipment from the Great Song Dynasty are in good order under his scheduling, and now a system has been formed, everything is in accordance with the system, what he has to do is to check it occasionally, the workload is outrageous......

This is also the reason why he has the leisure to follow Zhao Zhen to go shopping, even Xia Zhu is busy calculating military merits and distributing materials to the soldiers, and only Cai Boyu will be so idle.

Even if today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there is still an endless stream of craftsmen coming and going, and many people are taking advantage of today to do more work and have a good rest in the evening, after all, there is still an important observance at night.

Cai Boyu turned his head to look at the official family walking in front, and secretly sighed at his happiness, the craftsmen, the soldiers, and the people were so excited and excited mainly because the official family made a holy decree to celebrate the New Year with everyone in Xijin Mansion tonight.

The official family takes everyone to keep the New Year, what could be better than this? This is a great glory and a blessing for the people of Yanyun!

Cai Boyu knew that this was the official family's desire to let the people of Yanyun Land return to the Great Song Dynasty, feel the care of the Great Song Dynasty, and integrate into the culture and care of the Great Song Dynasty.

Craftsmen are repairing roads and houses, and the places that have been burned down by the fighting must also be repaired, so that the people cannot be allowed to live in dilapidated houses during the Chinese New Year, and the dilapidated Xijin Mansion must not affect the mood of the officials and everyone.

The soldiers lived in the military camp in the city, and under the organization of Xia Zhu, they patrolled and guarded the city named Beijing by the official family.

Beijing was originally the name of the capital of the Great Song Dynasty's Daimyo Mansion, but now it has been moved to Xijin Mansion by the official family, and since then the Beijing of the Great Song Dynasty has been here rather than the Daimyo Mansion. Cai Boyu followed the official family all the way to see, the more he looked, the more he found that it was not simple, but he didn't expect that the army had just occupied Xijin Mansion for a short time, and the entire Xijin Mansion had already begun to resume normal activities in an orderly manner.

Commerce is the main activity of a city, and Xijin Mansion has just suffered a war, all industries withered, Cai Boyu saw that with the help of the Great Song Dynasty merchants, the commercial activities of this city that had been devastated by the war were rapidly expanded, and many exquisite goods of the Great Song Dynasty appeared on the market at extremely low prices, which was impossible before.

The people had just come out of their misery, and the only right thing the Liao people did was not to let the people in the city go to the city wall to fight, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty really didn't know how to take Xijin Mansion.

In order to avoid casualties among the people in the city, Zhao Zhen did not use mortars to bombard the city, he was worried that the people in the city would be injured by mistake, so that the gains of taking Xijin Mansion would outweigh the losses, and the people's hearts were sometimes the most important, and this was why the Great Song Dynasty would sacrifice so many elites.

The mutton scones were accompanied by the fragrance of cumin wafting in the air, Peng Qi appeared with a few pieces of roasted golden flatbread, and handed them to Zhao Zhen and Cai Boyu with a smile: "The official family, we can be regarded as catching up, this Fan family mutton scones are the best snacks here, and the taste is good!" ”

Cai Boyu took a bite, the fat mutton and the crispy crust were intertwined, and he took a breath of hot air, and the white mist formed a large piece of cotton in the air: "This taste is quite unique, using mutton scones, only the land of Yanyun will be so luxurious!" …… Ah! ”

The sudden scream startled Zhao Zhen, and Peng Qi put his hand on the horizontal knife on his waist, and once there was a policeman, he would kill the enemy as soon as possible!

Zhao Zhen asked inexplicably: "What is your name, I was shocked!" He had just almost thrown the cake out of his hand.

Cai Boyu excitedly stretched out his greasy hand and grabbed Zhao Zhen's sleeve and said, "Official! What a happy event! This land of Yanyun is prolific with cattle and sheep, and raising horses is not a problem! Doesn't this solve the problem of my Great Song herding horses and landless? There are only a hundred miles of horse farms in the two provinces of Yanzhou and Hongzhou in the northwest, which is not enough for my Da Song herding horses, and now the forage and pasture fields are all problems, but it is different with Yanyun, and this place is ......"

Zhao Zhen looked at Cai Boyu with an unlearned look in his eyes, and Peng Qi looked at him with hatred and said: "Yanyun, the land of horse husbandry, does have it, but it is still in the hands of the Liao Dynasty, and it is not my Great Song Dynasty." ”

Cai Boyu asked strangely: "Xijin Mansion doesn't produce horses?" ”

Peng Qi laughed and said: "Of course you don't give birth to horses, the place where horses are born is in the wilderness of Jibei!" ”

Cai Boyu frowned and said: "That is in the north of Xijin Mansion, isn't it the Zhongjing Road and Xijing Road of the Liao Dynasty?" The official family wants to ......"

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly: "That's right, I want to take these two pieces of horse breeding land with abundant water and grass!" ”
