Lu Chengyu walked out of the gate of the mansion and looked up at the sky; The stars in the sky were not there, only a few scattered stars twinkled mysteriously unwilling to end.

The ground, though hazy, has been brightly coloured; A few steps further on, you can see the bright morning light.

In Chengdu, the August weather was hot and humid, and Lu Chengyu was wearing a sleeveless short shirt, wide cloth pants underneath, eight-eared bast shoes, and a straw hat made of wheat straw. carrying a three-foot-long wooden stick on his shoulder; A plate of hemp rope is put on the wooden stick, and the whole image is alive and well.

Lu Chengyu was the prefect of Chengdu in the Great Song Dynasty, with a third-rank official rank; Appearing on the streets of Chengdu at dawn dressed as a bangbang guest is not to sensationalize, but to conduct a comprehensive private interview with micro-services.

Weifu private interviews were a way for officials in the Song Dynasty to understand the people's feelings, and only by pretending to be the lowest level of the people could they understand the people's suffering.

A cool night breeze blows in the face, which cannot be said to be a small night breeze; It should be said that the breeze at dawn hit, Lu Chengyu felt refreshed and couldn't help reciting the verses:

Half desire and half dawn,

Drunk and smelling flowers, sleeping and smelling warblers.

The bell shook and moved,

Twenty years ago, Xiao Temple Love.

This is the Tang Dynasty poet Yuan Zhen's "Spring Dawn", if translated into the vernacular, it means: the night is more than halfway, but the sky will not dawn, in the drunken dream of the gentle country, but the flowers are lush, the warbler cries delicately, lingering and sad is unbearable. The yellow dog shook the temple bell and pierced the silent night sky, reminding one day of dawn twenty years ago in the temple.

Lu Chengyu tasted Yuan Zhen's poems and stroked the short pants on his body; I can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

Now he is a great man in Shu, and the people of Shu seem to be the most scorched pariahs in the world; In order to survive, they either work as a stick or carry a sliding rod.

There are many hills and high mountains in the Bashu region, and people can't carry their homes like plains or water towns, but use people to resist burdens; For thousands of years, a large team of porters has been born because of the geographical environment or the persecution of life.

The porter in the Bashu region is a coolie who carries a bag, with a stick or bamboo stick in his hand; It is the backbone of the family's life.

Since ancient times, the people of Shu who have no money and no land have made a living from bangbang, and when there is no bangbang business, they will join hands with two or four people to make a pair of sliding rods and carry them up to the dignitaries and nobles to visit Qingcheng Mountain and Emei Mountain.

the stick and the sliding rod, as well as the slender man who pulls the fiber on the Yangtze River; It has become a beautiful scenery in the Bashu region.

The strength of the stick army, the sliding rod player, and the slender man is very considerable, which is also the capital they rely on to make a living.

They can hold up a 3-meter-long solid wood with only their heads, and the sticks are professional in picking things, and they will pull as many things as possible in one trip; Prevent wasting energy by running back and forth.

The cargo on the shoulders of the Stick Army was often piled up three heads higher than their heads.

When there is no picking, the Bangbang Army stands with the vegetable seller and the charcoal seller; You can't tell who they are.

With the help of wooden sticks or flat poles on their shoulders, the Bangbang Army can pick up something that is difficult to hold but heavy; A kind of stick called the crescent moon is their favorite.

For this reason, Lu Chengyu disguised himself as a sticky guest who could be seen everywhere on the streets of Chengdu and walked out of the gate of the mansion.

Lu Chengyu has been in office as the prefect of Chengdu for two years, and it is the first time that he has made a private visit dressed as a bangbangke.

In the distance, Ma Xiao, Lei Ke, Yun Ye, and Yu Bo were four guards who followed Governor Lu silently.

Lu Chengyu pretended to be a bangbang guest for a private visit this time, and did not notify Ma Xiao's four guards; He wanted to act on his own.

If the guards follow a large group, what other useful things can be found in private visits? Only when one goes deep can one perceive the suffering of the people.

short undergarments, wide trousers, eight-eared linen shoes, a broken straw hat, and a coil of hemp rope on the shoulders of the crescent moon; The image of Bangbangke is vividly displayed on the streets of Chengdu at dawn.

Ma Xiao, Lei Ke, Yun Ye, and Yu Bo The four guards did not allow the prefect to go out alone, they knew that Chengdu was a place where the three sects and nine streams gathered, and it was very unsafe; And he quietly followed.

Lu Chengyu did not inform Ma Xiao's four guards, and Ma Xiao and the four could not follow the prefect's side closely, so they could only watch and follow from a distance.

The reason why Lu Chengyu did not pretend to be a good guest for a private visit after being a prefect for two years was to look for Liu Min.

Looking for Liu Min? After two years as the prefect, Lu Chengyu suddenly remembered to look for Liu Min, because he had a dream last night; I dreamed that Liu Min was near Chengdu.

If it is a dream, you have to wake up, and when you wake up, Lu Chengyu sat on the bed in the bedroom in a daze, reminiscing about the scene of meeting Liu Min in the dream, and her heart rose one by one.

Lu Chengyu and Liu Min met in Oak Forest Village in Huayang County, still in the rice fields of Molong.

Pan Zhiwen, a domestic slave in Lufu, grabbed water in order to water the land, and had an armed fight with the villagers of Baishulin Village, Lu Chengyu and Liu Min appeared at the scene of the armed fight, but the two of them did not participate in the armed fight but saved people.

At that time, Lu Chengyu was in his twenties, and he was the champion and the first to be a general judge in Liangzhou; Liangzhou is the Hanzhong of later generations.

This place in Hanzhong is really a bit of a queen's atmosphere, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty Liu Bang and the Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty have both been kings here.

But Liu Bang went out of Hanzhong to seize the world, and Liu Bei was proclaimed emperor in Chengdu after leaving Hanzhong; Although it is also called the emperor, it is only the size of a palm, and the two are not a heavyweight at all.

The only thing Liu Bang occupies when he comes out of Hanzhong is people, since ancient times, the time is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people.

Liu Bang was able to go out of Hanzhong to fight the world because he occupied the people, and although Liu Bei was also out of Hanzhong, he only occupied the geographical advantage; He was occupied by Cao Wei, and the so-called geographical advantage is not as good as the people, so Liu Bei lost.

Xiang Yu named Liu Bang as the king of Hanzhong and gave Liu Bang the land of Bashu; Xiang Bo encouraged Xiang Yu to give Hanzhong to Liu Bang and Xiang Yu really gave it.

Seriously, if it weren't for this Xiang Bo, Liu Bang would really not be able to win the world.

Liu Bang is really completely occupying people, and even the opponent's own uncle has been helping him.

It stands to reason that Liu Bei's conditions are better than Liu Bang's, because when Liu Bang arrived in the land of Bashu, it was still barren; By the time of Liu Bei, the land of Bashu was Liu Bang's original base and had been developed.

Moreover, when there was turmoil, the war in the Central Plains did not extend to the land of Bashu; So Hanzhong and Chengdu remain intact.

Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang also pointed to Yizhou when they faced each other in Longzhong, and then took Jingzhou, and then conquered the world.

But Liu Bei failed to use Hanzhong as a springboard like Liu Bang to pacify the Central Plains; Instead, he cowered in a corner of Chengdu; The key to this is people.

Liu Bang has Xiao He to worry about politics for him, Zhang Liang to plan for him, Han Xin is only in charge of fighting, and Chen Ping is used to solve emergencies, each performing his own duties and according to his director......
