Chapter 344: Departure

After Zhong Hao came back from Ye Yihan, he hadn't found a suitable opportunity these days, and told Fu Ruozhu that he wanted Ye Yihan to pass through the door, and the Honglu Temple that he had left in the post station sent his translator Li Guangxu and the messengers Zhang 13 and Liu Feng to find them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

They came to ask Zhong Hao when he was going to Dengzhou on an errand?

When Zhong Hao arrived in Qingzhou that day, he sent the three of them to the post station in Qingzhou, threw them fifty taels of silver, and completely forgot about them later.

Li Guangxu and the three of them at first felt that Zhong Hao had the final say on this errand anyway, and everything was arranged by him. Anyway, they eat and live at the post station, so they don't have to spend money, and Zhong Hao also gave them fifty taels of silver, and they are open to play. Qingzhou is also a big city, and they have been quite comfortable in the past half month.

But after half a month passed, they spent almost the same amount of money to eat, drink and have fun, and the days of waiting were not short, so they couldn't help but be a little anxious.

Anyway, it's also an errand to receive Goryeo envoys, this kind of thing can't be regarded as a completely inconsequential thing, diplomacy is no trivial matter, and you can't be so careless about Lord Zhong?! The Goryeo envoy is said to be able to arrive in Dengju at the beginning of June!

Besides, you, Lord Zhong, are very happy at home now, but our family is in Tokyo, and we can't wait to finish our errands and hurry home to reunite, we have been out for more than a month, and we haven't arrived in Dengzhou yet!

Yes, the three of them saw that Zhong Hao had not moved, so they summed it up together and came to Zhong Hao to ask when to leave for Dengzhou!

Zhong Hao's total, it is now the beginning of July, there are 600 miles from Qingzhou to Dengzhou, and it will take seven or eight days to travel, and it will be almost mid-July when Dengzhou arrives. It is said that the Goryeo envoy will be able to arrive in early June, which makes these people wait for more than a month, and they are afraid that if they wait any longer, they will be blown up, so they really can't delay any longer.

At that moment, Zhong Hao and the three of them said, and then set off for Dengzhou.

………………………………

Zhong Hao and his entourage went out of Qingzhou and went all the way to the east.

Most of the southern and western parts of Qingzhou are mountainous, while the northern and eastern parts are flat and fertile for thousands of miles.

At the beginning of July, the wheat in the fields is already very tall, and it is the busy time for the wheat to be hoeed and watered. The winter wheat of later generations has already been harvested at this season, but the wheat of the Great Song Dynasty today is spring wheat, planted in spring and harvested in autumn.

In one month, the harvest season will begin. Field management is especially important at this time. If you manage it well at this time, you can have a good harvest at the time of the autumn harvest!

Although the weather at this time has also reached the dog hour, the hottest time, but when Zhong Hao took Li Guangxu, Zhang Shisan, and Liu Feng to walk on the official road to Dengzhou in a carriage, the endless fields on both sides of the road were full of farmers busy in the wheat fields! The industrious peasants did not slow down their work in the slightest because of the hot weather.

Zhong Hao looked at those busy, tired but stable and happy scenes, thinking of the war in Hexi and the chaos in southern Xinjiang, and couldn't help but sigh how good it would be if the world lived a peaceful and stable life like this here and now!

Although the Goryeo envoy waited for a long time, Zhong Hao was not too anxious, and they naturally had to take a car all the way to Dengzhou. Although it is faster to ride a horse, it is a chore after all, and since it is not too urgent, it is better to ride comfortably.

Although the post station has carriages and horses, and the officials can use them for free with the survey in their hands, this coachman's post station does not care, and the officials need their own servants to fill it.

Zhang Shisan and Liu Feng, the messengers sent to him by Honglu Temple, naturally took on this errand without any doubt. But even if they drive, they feel that it is actually more comfortable than riding a horse. After all, they are not people who fight on horseback all year round, and riding down these five or six hundred miles is a test for the thighs and back, how can they sit in the car and drive comfortably.

Along the way, Zhong Hao chatted with Li Guangxu in the carriage, as well as the servants Zhang Shisan and Liu Feng in front of the carriage, in order to pass the boring time on the way.

Zhong Hao was born in the first grade, and he is now an official under the sixth grade, and it is conceivable that he will be promoted to the fifth rank and enter the ranks of the scarlet robe in a few years. It was still difficult for civil officials to transfer in the Song Dynasty, and the Wupin civil officials were definitely considered high-ranking officials. Zhong Hao's future is limitless.

And Li Guangxu is the translator of Honglu Temple, just a petty official who is not in the stream, and Zhang Shisan and Liu Feng are the two of them who are on duty in Honglu Temple, and their status is naturally very different from Zhong Hao, of course they have to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Zhong Hao. Therefore, the three of them not only obeyed Zhong Hao, but also spoke respectfully.

Zhong Hao is easy-going, although he has been an official for many years, he has never raised his official authority. When he was in Jingqiang Village, he started from scratch with those soldiers and civilians of the Pingxi Army, and he fought together from the beginning, and when he was promoted, it was naturally not good to put an official shelf on them. When he went south with the Western Army, although the Western Army had strict military discipline, the officials were very official, and the rank was not low, but at that time, the Pingxi Army was led by Cui Feng, and Zhong Hao had no one under him, so there was no place to put his official prestige. As for his promotion to the rank of sergeant, this one was only awarded an official, and there was no specific poor money, and there was no one under him, so naturally he had not yet raised his official authority.

Speaking of which, this is the first time that Li Guangxu, Zhang Shisan, and Liu Feng have been real civil officials, but they are all sent to him by Honglu Temple, which is considered a cooperative relationship, not a direct subordinate and subordinate, and it is not easy for him to put an official shelf on them.

Zhong Hao is the kind of person who respects him a foot and he respects you, although he sees that the three of them respect him very much, so he is also very kind and polite to the two. This made the three of them very flattered, so they talked happily along the way.

After the carriage crossed the giant ocean, it went out of Yidu County, and then out of Qingzhou, and then east was Changle County under the jurisdiction of Weizhou.

Juyang water, also known as Mi River, originates from the west foot of Yishan in Linqu County, Qingzhou, and flows through Linqu County, Yidu County, and Shouguang County into the Bohai Sea from south to north, and is the largest river in Qingzhou. The Yidu County and Changle County of Weizhou in Qingzhou of the Great Song Dynasty are bounded by the Mi River.

In July, the blue waves ripple on the surface of the Mihe River, many lotus flowers on the river surface have opened, and among the green lotus leaves spread all over the river, there are not some red lotus flowers faintly poking out their heads, but the scenery is really good. The willows on the riverside are fresh, and the flowers are vibrant, and they are very beautiful.

Blowing a cool breeze from the river, it made people feel much less heat, Zhong Hao asked Zhang Shisan and Liu Feng to stop here, and they rested and ate here at noon.
