Three days later, the first batch of young intellectuals of Qi went to the countryside and carried out in a very low-key manner.

Zhang Shu said goodbye to his mother and his sister, and under the send-off of Ren Kang and others, he left Chang'an City with two escorted soldiers.

As the leader of this year, he spent the next two years in charge of two towns more than ten kilometers away from Chang'an City, and managed two schools at a certain distance from each other, which was a big challenge for him.

The rest of his classmates need to be in charge of a town, or a few nearby villages, but he has to go back and forth between the two towns, although the Qi court took this into account and equipped him with an old horse, but in Zhang Xu's mood, he didn't know if he could complete the mission given to him by the court.

Holding the old horse, he glanced back at Chang'an City, which was gradually moving away, and Zhang Shu sighed.

"Two warriors, I'm bothering you to take care of you on the way ahead."

Zhang Wei hugged his fists at the two soldiers who escorted him.

Seeing this, the two soldiers hurriedly returned the salute, and an older soldier smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang is a knowledgeable person, there is no need to be polite to reckless men such as me, if you have any orders, just say it, out of Chang'an City, there may be fierce beasts on the next road, when Mr. Zhang does not panic, just hand it over to our brothers." ”

Zhang Shu nodded, thanked the two, and the three continued to hurry.

The journey of more than ten kilometers is not too far, the three of them set off early in the morning, only rested in the field for a while at noon, and then continued to hurry, such a few people, if they spend the night alone in the wilderness, there is still a certain danger.

Although the Qi State also has a plan to clean up the fierce beasts in the territory now, how can these fierce beasts be killed in a short period of time. The three of them arrived at their destination without danger.

At sunset, a small rammed-earth town on the plain came into view.

"Mr. Zhang, there is Naangu Town in front, let's go faster, and we can rush to the city before the city gate is closed."

The older soldier muttered.

Zhang Shu nodded, and the three of them walked along the loess path towards the town.

Compared to Chang'an City, Angu Town looks very desolate, with low rammed earth walls that look dilapidated, as if a gust of wind can blow it down.

There were many small shacks scattered outside the town, and when Zhang Shu and the three of them passed by, they were hungry living in the shacks, and they looked at the three of them with numb expressions.

Seeing this, the two soldiers subconsciously held their hands on the hilt of their swords and looked at the group of ragged people vigilantly.

Looking at these people, Zhang Xu sighed in his heart.

After the Battle of Qixia, the Great Qi plundered a large number of people from the rest of the tribes, although Zhang Shu had heard about this before, and also knew that these people lived a miserable life.

It's just that now when I see these yellow-faced and thin-skinned people, my heart is inevitably a little touched, once upon a time I was also a member of their hearts, maybe my life as a slave is even more miserable than theirs.

Without thinking about it, the three of them walked quickly to the city gate, explained their intentions to the guards here, and sent them into the city.

After the city, the older soldier said to Zhang Xu: "Mr. Zhang, my two brothers can only send you here." ”

Zhang Shu nodded and said to the two: "Thank you two warriors for escorting me all the way, if I can help me in the future, I can come here to find me." ”

The two smiled: "Then we will thank Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang first!" ”

Zhang Shu arched his hand to the two and said, "Take care!" Then he led his old horse and walked along the potholed path according to the description of the guard.

When the two escorting soldiers saw Zhang Shu walking away, they looked at each other, then turned around and left, resting in the army here for the night, and then they were going back to Chang'an City to resume their lives.

There are only two civil officials in Angu Town, one is the Si Nong who is in charge of money and grain, and the other is the mayor of the town, who is responsible for all matters here except for the military.

Compared with those official mansions in Chang'an City, the yamen in Angu Town is obviously much shabby.

The two only civil officials need to do everything themselves, although they are officials, but the work is heavy, far beyond ordinary people, often one person wears many hats, although the life is a little hard, but looking at the town is slowly on the right track, the hearts of the two are still very gratifying, but there is a sense of joy in the suffering.

When Zhang Shu led his old horse to the yamen of Angu Town, he saw that the only two thatched houses in the small yamen were shining.

Zhang Shu tied the old horse to the wooden stake on the side, walked into the courtyard, and gently knocked the copper bell hanging on the side.

A crisp brass bell rang, and the people in the thatched house obviously heard the sound.

Zhang Shu saw two men in their twenties coming out of the two houses, but he didn't know which one was the mayor and which one was Si Nong, so he asked the two questions, so he said: "Zhang Shu met with the two chiefs, and was ordered by the imperial court to come here to teach about it. ”

As he spoke, he took out the document issued by the Ministry of Officials from his body and said, "This is the official document of the Ministry of Officials, and I also ask the two officials to look at it." ”

When an official heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Zhang, the court said earlier that Mr. would come here, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." ”

After taking the official document in Zhang Shu's hand, after reading it in a hurry, he sighed: "I can't imagine that Mr. Zhang is so young, it's really a shame for us!" ”

Zhang Shu scratched his head and said: "It's just a fluke, I only knew how to study in the academy before, but I didn't understand the rest of the things, and I hope to get the help of the two officials in the future." ”

Seeing that Zhang was modest and cautious, and he was also respectful to himself, the two couldn't help but have a good impression of him.

"This is natural, you and I are both doing things for the court, and we should help each other, oh! By the way, I forgot to introduce, I am the mayor of this place, Zhong Geng, this is the Si Nong of this place, Yixin. ”

"I've seen Yixin Sinong."

When Zhang heard this, he hurriedly bowed.

Yi Xin smiled and said, "I've seen Mr. Zhang!" ”

said to the two: "It's getting late, Mr. Zhang is afraid that he hasn't eaten yet, let's eat together, let's eat while eating, our mayor Zhonggeng has learned a good cooking skill." ”

When Zhong Geng heard this, he smiled and said: "You don't talk about food, but I forgot about it, Brother Yixin, you talk to Mr. Zhang, talk about the situation in this town, and I will go and prepare food." ”

Zhang Yu saw that Zhong Geng left in a hurry without waiting for his resignation, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing this, Yi Xin said, "Mr. Zhang, please take a seat!" ”

After the two sat down on the small wooden bench in the courtyard, Zhang Yu said: "I haven't made any achievements just here, so I have to bother the town mayor Shangguan to prepare food for me, and I can't stand it!" ”
