In the early morning, as soon as the sky was bright, on the newly built official roads and waterways from Zhenyang to the counties, oxen and horse carts carrying scholars, and fishing boats had already begun to set off.

Zhenyang official road, waterway, every ten miles with a pavilion, the pavilion chief with the pavilion on the road to set up a tea shop, boiling hot tea, at the same time there are some soup porridge, for the past scholars to eat.

A guard of nearly 100 spears and knives guarded an open-top carriage with two buffaloes driving side by side.

On the wide ox cart, five young scholars sat together, one sitting on the very edge, a rough and muscular scholar, like a martial artist, said: "Chen Ying Sansheng is fortunate to be invited by Liu Gongzi to accompany him!" ”

"I Guo Shi also agree with this!" The one who spoke was a scholar who was also quite strong, and he was sitting opposite Chen, who also belonged to the side.

Compared with these two, the other two scholars who were next to Liu Xian were much calmer, one looked at the direction of the tea shop outside the car, and the other did not forget to hold a book at this time.

Liu Xian said a few modest words to Chen Ying and Guo Shi, and asked the scholars who were observing outside: "Gongyan, can you get something?" ”

Hearing this, the scholar who was reading raised his head and looked at the scholar named Gongyan.

"Liu Gongzi, this Mr. Huanglong is also an extraordinary person! You see, the pavilion guards of the tea shop are full of heaven and spirit, and they are not at all like the poor and destitute pavilions in the place. ”

"Zhenyang I once passed here with the head of the family, at that time the whole county was a small mountain road that could not be driven, roadside beasts, strongmen were rampant, want to enter the county calmly, can only form a large fleet, from the waterway can go, if Zhenyang is not far from the Xiangjiang River, I am afraid that the whole county is difficult to have outsiders to visit."

After speaking, Gongyan pointed to the official road under his feet:

"Nowadays, there is an official road running through Zhenyang, east and west, north and south, plus there are Xiangjiang River and some tributaries, and the traffic has undergone earth-shaking changes, on both sides of the road, the forest is gone, the beasts are gone, the robbers are gone, in exchange for a large area of farmland, flocks of chickens and ducks, and the energetic farmers."

The scholar who was reading put away the bamboo slips, and "touched" the chin with only fluffy "hair": "Mr. Huang Long has the grace of rebuilding Zhenyang, and soon this small border county in the remote south will be promoted to a rare large county in the Central Plains.

Now it is an unprecedented prosperous era here, and all over Jingnan, scholars from major families have gathered. ”

"Gongyan and Zichu are very reasonable, but I don't know how Mr. Huang Long will choose a filial piety from among the scholars from all over the world!" Liu Xian's mind recalled the scene when he first saw Cao's sex, and even sang the poem at the beginning.

Gongyan and Zichu sang together, but Chen Ying and Guo Shi were a little bored, just sang along, and the two talked about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

There were more and more frames on the road, and when they arrived at the Zhenyang City Gate, there was a long queue.

A team of 100 people escorted the frame, which is just ordinary here, and the larger team has this time, and it is also honestly lined up.

After waiting for half an hour, it was finally Liu Xian's turn and his party.

Only half of the building was built, and under the two-zhang high city gate, a civil official wearing more than 100 stones, with a few small officials, placed a bookcase, and registered information at the door.

The civil official bowed with a smile on his face: "A certain is Zhenyang Gongcao, Gongsun Gong of Liaodong, my father was the assassin of Jizhou, and his name is famous, where did the sons come from, and who is the surname?" ”

Chen Ying was the first to jump out of the ox cart, a little unable to believe the other party's words: "The son of the state assassin historian is a county merit!" ”

"Chen Gongzi!" Liu Xian, who had just gotten out of the car, reminded that this goods were too reckless.

Chen Ying knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly apologized: "Yangshan Chen family scholar, Ying, I apologize for the collision just now!" ”

"Don't get in the way, this is not the first time it has happened, but what I want to say is that under the command of a certain lord, there are many talents, and this position of meritorious, it stands to reason that I can't be ranked, but I am just stained with my father's reputation."

Gongsun Gong kept a smile and began to register him, then took out his waist card, engraved Chen Ying's basic information with a few strokes of a book knife, handed it to him, and said:

"It is the evidence for Chen Gongzi to participate in the debate on the morning of the 23rd, the day after tomorrow, when the main guild will discuss in person, and the banquet on the evening of the 23rd will announce the candidates for filial piety."

Chen Ying took the palm-sized hardwood waist card, which was engraved with the word "Huanglong" on one side and the word "Shi" on the other.

Gongyan and Zichu then arrived here, and said respectfully: "Lingling Jiang Shizi Wanzi Gongyan Liu Jiashi Ziba Zichu, I have seen Gongsun Gongcao!" ”

Gongsun Gong returned the salute again and again, and then registered for the two of them, and then engraved the waist card and handed it to the two of them, as did Liu Xian and Guo Shi behind him.

After all the things were done, Gongsun Gong said: "There is a post house in the county, and you will be allowed to stay free of charge, if you don't like it, there is an inn in the city, you can choose by yourself, Gong also has official business, I will not accompany you first!" ”

The carriage was left in the enclosure on the edge of the city wall, leaving a few guards to take care of it, and Sergeant Cao stood guard to patrol to ensure safety.

Liu Du and others wore swords in their waists, hugged each other and walked into the county seat, lined with newly built houses, and the workers were working hard.

Walking on the sand-paved streets that can accommodate three cars in parallel, if you are thirsty, there is a tea shop with a simple shed next to it, and if you are hungry, there is also a winery restaurant to eat.

On the road, there is an endless stream of scholars wearing Confucian clothes with swords and swords in their waists, rangers carrying swords and carrying swords, merchants holding account books, farmers carrying agricultural goods, etc., as if they have entered the prosperity of the Central Plains.

The rammed earth city wall that originally collapsed is still retained, as a scenery of Zhenyang, and it sets off the changes of Zhenyang.

A few people were amazed.

After walking for a while, a banner of "Xiaoyao Building" attracted their attention.

"What is this?" Liu Xian looked at the flag blankly.

"What's so strange about the Loose Tower?" Chen Ying asked puzzled.

Liu Xian looked back and saw that it was just a simple bamboo house, and although there was a large piece of land under construction behind it, it was still early before it was actually built, and explained:

"Xiaoyao Lou is a new restaurant in my Han Dynasty, the general number is in Luoyang, and at the same time there are branches in major prosperous cities, the food in the building is known as the first in the world, the dishes are varied, many are unheard of, not used for our usual Ding stew, how to eat there is only one taste."
