When it was dark, the city gates of Fuzhou were still wide open, which surprised Wei Yi.

From the land all the way back, first take the canal road, from Tongzhou to Dezhou, then to Chuzhou, Yangzhou, cross the river to Runzhou, to Jiangling Panhuan for a few days, and then from Jiangling into the waterway, through the south of the Yangtze River to the east of Zhejiang, and then start by land, through Dushi Pass and Xianxia Pass, through Quzhou, Jianzhou, and then down the Minjiang River by boat, passing through Gukou and Nan'an, Wei Yi went ashore to visit Xu Zixian, but knew that Xu Zixian had gone to Qizhou to take office, and did not return to the Hou Mansion for many days.

Everything is as usual in Nan'an, the atmosphere is bland, the place has undergone great changes, in general, Wei Yi from the north of the Great Wei to the south of the Yangtze River and Zhejiang, and then back to Fujian, in addition to feeling that the dust in the north is too big, the buildings and trees are gray, the biggest feeling is that everywhere is in poverty and tension.

In fact, even when the Great Wei Dynasty was at its peak, poverty was quite common, but there had never been such a large-scale, universal, and desperate poverty as in the fourteenth year of Chongde.

Henan, Qinfeng, Hedong, Yongxing army are all kinds of in the continuous natural disasters, the southeast and Jiangnan wealth has also declined year after year, more importantly, the general poverty of the people, Wei Yi remembers, when he was young more than ten years ago, it was the end of Wenzong, the place was quite rich, although the Great Wei State with finance and taxes is declining year after year, but the people are generally rich, each man in the prime of life has an income of 60 to 100 yuan a day, the price at that time was also low, 60 yuan can meet the food and clothing of a family of four, An income of 100 yuan a day can ensure that you eat meat every few days, and there is also a surplus to cover daily chores, clothing, shoes and socks, and savings for medical treatment.

Of course, there will be poor people, poor people who are hungry and poor, but Wei Yi's overall feeling is that from north to south, there are more poor people than more than more than ten years ago, and people are dissatisfied, feeling that they have a heavy burden on their bodies, and there is no real hope for the future.

Many people have a feeling of insecurity, faintly feel that something is going to happen, although Dawei has not lost an inch of land on the surface, the Son of Heaven, the two mansions, everything is as usual, but people have a sense of crisis in their hearts that the building is about to collapse.

After the Jinshi test, less than three months of observing politics, more than ten days of travel, and thousands of miles back and forth, Wei Yi felt that his heart had not become stronger, and he had not become more shrewd and capable after the experience, and Wei Yi had never worried about his future prospects. The second class Jinshi returned to Fujian Road to serve, starting should be the county or the seventh grade of the eighth grade on the noble position, within ten years to the civil official five grades, within twenty years to the civil official four grades, if there is no strong reinforcement in the DPRK, he is not a famous Confucian or a sensational in the world, a lifetime career is about the same.

Wei Yi's grandfather is like this, his father is slightly inferior, and his family's hope for him is to catch up with his grandfather's achievements.

Wei Yi is not too confused about his own achievements, with the support of his own family, coupled with Xu Zixian's connections, he will definitely not be too bad in the future.

But he now has real doubts about the situation in Dawei...... When he arrived in Quzhou, there was a serious rebellion in the area of Dushiguan, and Wei Yi was safe, but he felt even worse.

There are also large-scale rebellions in places like Quzhou, which are similar to the situation in Henan, Yongxing Army, including Jinghu North Road and Jinghu South Road, that is, the mountain people gathered in chaos and resisted the government, and the direct reason was that the tax burden of the court and the local government was too serious.

The direct reason there is that the price of salt is too expensive, Wei Yi has seen it on the market, a small package of crude and unbearable coarse salt, it is difficult for nobles to swallow, a small package costs 500 yuan, this price makes it difficult for those who can only earn dozens of yuan a day to afford.

First, there were smugglers, then gangs, and then a large number of mountain people shouted slogans, looted the salt warehouses of the government, and the government invaded and suppressed, which led to armed confrontation among the mountain people, which directly led to a large-scale rebellion.

Although Wei Yi is from a family of official gentry, there is no doubt that this time he is on the side of the mountain people.

When he arrived in Nan'an, Wei Yi was in a bad mood, and only showed a happy smile when he saw his little sister, but the two had seen each other for a short time, Xu Zixian was not in the other courtyard, and there was no man in charge in the other courtyard of Nan'an Hou Mansion, even if he was close to Wei Yi, it was not suitable to stay for a long time.

After saying goodbye to the little sister, Wei Yi sighed, after going through a lot, there is no doubt that Wei Yi has matured a lot, but fortunately, his feelings for the little sister have not changed, which is also a fortunate place.

The future of the individual and the future of the country, plus personal feelings, these things are churning back and forth in the hearts of young people, he sometimes rejoices in his future happiness, and sometimes hates himself, this is quite complex and stirring emotions, and he is also a smart young man with a conscience, and it is actually a good thing to have this kind of experience and ideological conflict on the road of growth, which is the case for Wei Yi, although he does not necessarily know what the changes that have happened to him now.

……

When he arrived at the south gate of Fuzhou, Wei Yi was blocked by the surging crowd for a while.

While worrying that he would not be able to enter the city gate, he also asked his companion to inquire about what was going on.

Here in Fuzhou, there are more than 300 days a year, and even on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, I have never seen such a crazy scene.

A large number of people walked around outside the city gate, people's faces had quite obvious fanatical colors, many people looked as if they were going to martyrdom, their expressions were solemn and serious, and many middle-aged men had obvious tears in their eyes, which also made Wei Yi feel a great change.

Even if the Son of Heaven dies, there shouldn't be such a scene here in Fuzhou!

From time to time, the women screamed, and the men looked serious and slightly nervous, as if they were waiting for something great to happen, as if something great had already happened, and people were not sure that it had happened.

"Childe." Chang Sui ran back, his face was also serious, as if he was forcibly suppressing the urge to jump and cheer, this Wei Mansion companion said to Wei Yi: "I heard that there is news from Qishan Port, Nan Anhou and his subordinates crossed Qishan last night, rushed into the port and killed Chen Yutai and his subordinates, and the Qishan bandits have been exterminated?" ”

"What?"

Wei Yi subconsciously asked, and Chang Sui added a few more details, such as that there was already a ship to transport the head, and Yang Shiwei rushed to Qishan Port as soon as possible, and should verify the battle report in Qishan.

Now the latest news has not yet arrived, and no one can be sure, but before dark, people within a radius of at least fifty miles around have heard the news, which is why a large number of people have gathered outside the gate of Fuzhou.

Chen Yutai can be described as angry and resentful on Fujian Road, such a pirate leader who should have been full of evil for a long time has not been awarded a head until now, which is completely a shame for the Great Wei military!

For many people in Fuzhou and Zhangzhou, Quanzhou, Chen Yutai's three words represent too much suffering and hatred, these three words are completely soaked in the spell of blood, so many years, I don't know how many families have been broken because of this name, relatives are separated, and there are at least more than 10,000 people who died directly in the hands of Qishan thieves, which represents 10,000 heartbroken families, and the Zhangzhou Rebellion, Chen Yutai is the pioneer who led Pu Xingfeng and other sea thieves, Zhangzhou City was slaughtered, and tens of thousands of people died in the hands of pirates that time, In the next few months, the young men organized by the nearby state government have been collecting the bones of the victims, and within a year or two, only a small number of people live in the city of Zhangzhou, until nearly ten years later, the current Zhangzhou has not fully recovered, which is all thanks to Chen Yutai.

If this person is escorted to Fuzhou, it is determined that there is no way to enter the city alive, and there is no way to even keep the body intact.

Most of the people gathered inside and outside the city had a direct blood feud with Chen Yutai or the Qishan bandits, and in this era, it was enough for people to tear the flesh and blood on their bodies desperately, or even chop them into pieces of flesh.

"Wei Yanke, Yanke!"

Someone was shouting not far away, and Wei Yi stared intently, but it was Zheng Mingyuan, the editor-in-chief of the weekly newspaper.

"Editor-in-Chief Zheng." Wei Yi jumped off the horse and smiled: "Jiuwei." ”

Zheng Mingyuan looked excited, pulled Wei Yi and said, "Yanke, first of all, I want to congratulate you, the second class jinshi in high school." However, what is happening at the moment is more worthy of our joy. ”

"Thank you, editor-in-chief." Wei Yi said with a smile: "This happy event of the junior brother, compared to the extermination of the Qishan bandits, it is nothing...... I think Brother Zheng grabbed me, should he have been entrusted? ”

Zheng Mingyuan is also a Jinshi, but he is a top three, first served as a county magistrate in a certain county, and later felt that even if he had boiled his qualifications to the top of his future in Junzhou, it was difficult to get ahead, but his writing was quite good, and in ten years, he went from the chief writer of the weekly newspaper to the editor-in-chief, although he was not an official, his influence exceeded that of ordinary magistrates, which shows that his original choice was not wrong.

"Yan Ke was born handsome, but his personality is straightforward, and he really has a wrong name, and there is no wrong word......" Zheng Mingyuan is also bold-tempered, and said with a smile at the moment: "Yan Ke, you have returned from afar, and you have not yet entered the city, but the weekly newspaper is eager to report on the extermination of Qishan bandits, and now there is a lack of details, if you want to publish a special issue tomorrow, you have to know more details tonight......

"Understood." Of course, Wei Yi would not refuse this matter, and agreed with a smile.

Wei Yi is still a period of time away from reporting on his appointment, and he originally wanted to rest at home for a few more days, see relatives and friends, and then go to appease the envoy after the rest is adjusted.

With the Wei family's family background and Wei Yi's ranking, it should be an official position that is noble, easy to make merits, and easy to promote.

In addition, Xu Zixian's role cannot be ignored, Nan'anhou is now hot on Fujian Road, who doesn't know Wei Yi's friendship with Xu Zixian, and there are rumors that the Wei family will marry Nan'anhou's Mansion?

Wei Yi's father has already been rumored to appoint the Zhixinghua Army as the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, a position equivalent to that of an observer, the governor of Shangzhou, which is a fairly successful promotion and transfer.

In this position, it is possible to go up to the Xuanfu envoy, the prefect, or the deputy envoy of the four divisions along the way.

This kind of transfer can only be appeased enough to make a decision, and it is conceivable that this is a manifestation of Lin Douyao's continued release of goodwill to Xu Zixian.

Of course, the local government affairs are complicated, and Lin Douyao cannot cover the sky single-handedly in terms of personnel arrangements, but the local real power forces such as the Changwen Marquis Mansion also agree with this matter, and this kind of transfer is not as simple as imagined.

For the weekly newspaper, Wei Yi owes a favor, and when he was able to serve as the chief writer of the weekly newspaper as a person who was the person who lifted the test, this is a kind of favor in itself.

Secondly, the matter is related to Xu Zixian, Wei Yi is duty-bound, he should have made such a trip, and wrote quite an excellent article.
