Yong and his entourage lived in Wanrong County for four or five days, and the situation of Wanrong County Darong County belongs to Hedong County, located on the edge of the Yellow River, the middle of the Fen River and the Yellow River confluence, Hedong humanities gathering, the Spring and Autumn Period rich Jia Da Shang Dun, the Han Dynasty Jianghou Zhou Bo, the three kingdoms famous general Guan Yu are all from Hedong.

There is also an ancestral temple at the confluence of the Huangfen two rivers in Wanrong County, which is the temple of Our Lady of Houtu, and the Holy Mother of Houtu is Nuwa Niangniang, this ancestral temple is said to be the Yellow Emperor defeated the Chiyou tribe through the battle of the deer, and after completing the unification of China, with a strong desire for ancestor worship, the place where the supreme female queen of the matriarchal society lived and multiplied, a piece of high ground in the village in front of the Fenyin Temple was swept as an altar, so the later generations respected the Houtu ancestral temple here as the ancestor of the ancestral temple in the sea.

During the Han Dynasty, the imperial court set the sacrifice of Houtu as a national ritual system, and clearly stipulated: "Fenyin Houtu three years of pro-suburban ancestral hall, Mount Tai five years to repair the seal." "After the collapse of the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, although there was no large-scale sacrifice in the court, but the perfume of the nearby states and counties to the Houtu Niangniang Temple has been continuous, Wanrong County can be so prosperous, and there are many Houtu Niangniang Temples in the territory.

Another reason for the prosperity of Vang Vieng County is because of the big cattle in the territory, the big cattle in Vang Vieng are tall, long, with a large skeleton, a lion head, a tiger brain, and thick limbs, which are more sought-after than the cattle that flow into the Central Plains from the grassland.

It is now July, not the peak of cattle trafficking, if after September, when cattle dealers pour into Wanrong County, the inns and restaurants in the county will be full, if it meets the birthday of Tuniangniang after March and April, Wanrong County is even more crowded, and it is difficult to find a place for people to settle down.

Although Vang Vieng County has these two unique conditions. But when Zhou and Qi were divided, because Vaeng was in the border where the two armies were fighting, Vang Vieng County was still inevitably weakened, and it was not until Qi was unified by Zhou that it was no longer a border and became an inland area.

When Yu Wencheng first took office, due to the frequent wars. Wanrong County is dilapidated, the household is only 2,000, it is rated as Xiazhong County, Yuwencheng has now been sitting on the county order for seven years, and Wanrong has been rated as Zhongzhong by a Xiazhong County in seven years, and the number of households has more than doubled, which is already a capable official. If Yu Wencheng reported to the court that Wanrong County could already be rated as a Shangshang County, I am afraid that the court would either suspect it of fraud, or set up a model and add officials to Yuwencheng.

Yang Yong has been walking around the streets of Wanrong County with his guards in the past few days, and naturally knows that Wanrong County can be rated as Shangshang County without being fake. You must know that Xinfeng County ordered Fang Gongyi, just because his political performance was the first of the three auxiliaries, the emperor directly dialed Fang Renyi as Sima of Dezhou, Sima is the fifth grade, and the difference between the seven-grade county order is four levels, if Yu Wencheng's political achievements in governing Wanrong are reported and confirmed by the court, then the treatment will not be worse than Fang Renyi.

In the main hall of the inn. In addition to the two of them guarding the door, Yang Yong summoned all the people around him: "Let's talk about it, what is your impression of Wanrong County?" ”

Liu Hu first said: "Childe, the little one thinks that Wanrong County is very prosperous, and things are abnormal that they are demons, Wanrong County is just a medium county, why is it so prosperous." ”

Xing'er pouted beside her: "Little Huzi." Isn't it good to be prosperous in Vang Vieng. I wish there was the prosperity of Wanrong County everywhere in Dasui. ”

Xiaohuzi is naturally the nickname that Xing'er gave Liu Hu. Liu Hu is eighteen years old, and his art of war and martial arts have made great progress. Thinking that he would follow the prince, he would at least be the general who would lead the party in the future, and this little tiger's nickname was very detrimental to his image, but in the face of the sharp-toothed apricot, Liu Hu had to pretend not to hear it.

Lu Mulin said in a deep voice: "The prosperity of Wanrong County is naturally not bad, but it is just a deliberate concealment from the court, then its heart can be punished, Wanrong County has reached the standard of Shangshang County, but only reported to the court Zhongzhong County, if he collects taxes from each household according to the standards of the court, I am afraid that the tax withheld every year has already exceeded the tax paid to the land, not to mention that Wanrong is afraid that in addition to agricultural endowments, commercial endowments are probably more, and this huge amount of expenses will not all fall into the hands of Yu Wencheng." ”

Xing'er clapped her hands and shouted: "I understand, this Yu Wencheng is a big corrupt official, son, then hurry up and arrest him." ”

Of course, it is not a problem to arrest Yu Wencheng, just with so many national taxes that he concealed, it is enough to cut Yu Wencheng to the people, and then sentence him to a stream of three thousand miles to guard the frontier, not to mention that the arrest of Yu Wencheng, Yan, and Fan will definitely be involved, Yang Yong went to Wanrong County to arrest Yan, Fan two imperial history handles, but I didn't expect to bring in a Wanrong County order, this move will definitely make the officials of the DPRK and China shocked, and they dare not underestimate the East Palace again.

It's just that Yang Yong has a faint feeling of inappropriateness in his heart, as if this Yu Wencheng can't move easily, but he can't think of where this uneasiness comes from, not to mention a county order, that is, the governor of a government and a state, as long as it is found out that he has indeed violated the law and discipline, Yang Yong can also take it on the spot.

One state and one government, Yang Yong finally knew where this uneasiness came from: "Mu Lin, who is the county guard of Hedong County?" ”

"Back to Gongzi, the county guard of Hedong County is Zhang Xu."

"Zhang Xu, do you have details about this person?"

"Does Childe suspect that Zhang Xu is also involved in this matter?" Lu Mulin was excited, to Wanrong thought it was just a trivial matter, but he didn't expect to implicate a county Taishou, Dasui is divided into three levels of prefectures and counties, in fact, due to the chaotic period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the state division is getting smaller and smaller, and the status of the Taishou of the big county is higher than that of the small state, Hedong County belongs to the middle county, and the Taishou is already an official from the fifth grade, and some small states are only six grades. Yang Jian has intended to remove the county and turn it into a state and county level, but it has not yet been implemented on a large scale.

If you want to say that the county doesn't know anything about the counties below, it must be unreasonable, Zhang Xu is at least a cover-up, or simply an accomplice, however, there are more than 100 states and more than 300 counties in Dasui, Lu Mulin can know that Zhang Xu is the Taishou of Hedong County is already remarkable, and it is impossible for him to remember the resumes of all the officials even if he has a superior memory, hearing Yang Yong's question, Lu Mulin hurriedly took out a book he carried with him and looked at it. After a while, a smile appeared on Lu Mulin's face: "Son, I found it, Zhang Xu is from Chang'an and used to be a Taoist priest." His cousin Zhang Bin, Zhang Bin in the first year of the emperor

Dedicated to the "Kaihuang Calendar" meritorious, Zhang Bin was transferred to the history of Huazhou Thorn, then Zhang continued to abide by it. ”

The calendar is a symbol of the dynasty, Yang Jian in the usurpation of Zhou, the plan to use the fate of the world, in order to change the dynasty to make some foreshadowing, to the world to openly recruit people of insight to write the calendar, at that time there were several people enlisted. Among them, there are Liu Xiaosun, the former officials of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Liu Hui, Liu Hui, and the Taoist Zhang Bin.

At that time, whether it was Liu Xiaosun or Liu, Liu Hui's three-person calendar was more realistic and accurate than Zhang Bin, and Yang Jian adopted Zhang Bin's calendar as the "Kaihuang Calendar". Zhang Bin's calendar vigorously promoted Yang Jian's imperial luck, Liu Hui peeked into Yang Jian's mind, and also turned to support Zhang Bin, as a result, Liu Xiaosun and Liu drove out of the capital on the grounds of "vainly supporting each other and confusing people at the time", and Zhang Bin won a complete victory.

The celestial bodies are moving, not for Yao. Don't die. Zhang Bin's calendar tried his best to cater to Yang Jian's imperial way, and naturally there were inevitably omissions, but it did not prevent Zhang Bin from enjoying a high position, and even his cousin was awarded for his merits.

In fact, Emperor Zhang Bin Wu rose to prominence in the court when Emperor Wu of Zhou adopted the words of Zhang Bin and another Taoist priest, Wei Yuansong, and made the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism debate the merits in the fourth year of Tianhe (569).

Speaking of Zhang Bin, Yang Yong suddenly remembered one thing, when Lu Ben went to the East Palace to tell Gao Ying and others bad words. Zhang Qiu Taiyi once said that Lu Ben had a very close past with Yuan Harmony, Zhang Bin, Liu Fang and others, and wanted to abolish Gao Ying, Su Wei and others, which was also confirmed by the secret guard, but after he rejected Lu Ben, he didn't see any follow-up actions from them, and now more than a year has passed. Did they just give up?

From Fan. Yan and the two imperial historians attacked themselves. When it was discovered that Wanrong County ordered Yu Wencheng to conceal his local political achievements and intercept the court to pay a large amount of taxes. Yuwencheng and Yuwen are of the same clan, Yuwen, Liang Shiyan, and Cui Hongdu were heavily bribed by Wei Chi Yuan, and after pacifying Wei Chi Yuan, these people did not get the rewards they deserved, do they have any resentment against the court? And Yu Wencheng's boss is Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu is Zhang Bin's cousin, Zhang Bin has a close relationship with Lu Ben, Liu Fang, Yuan Harmony and others, these people are ambitious and want to replace Gao Ying, Su Wei and others.

Connecting these people in series, Yang Yong was suddenly shocked, if these people were in trouble, although the scale was far less than Wei Chi's rebellion, but Wei Chi's rebellion was limited to Qi after all, and Huazhou, Puzhou, and Hedong County were completely connected in a line, and the nearest Huazhou was only a few hundred miles away from Chang'an, which could be said to be the hinterland of the Great Sui, and the vibration caused could be imagined, not to mention that they also had Yuan Harmony in the court, Lu Ben, Liu Fang and others for assistance.

"You all go down, Mu Lin and I have something to talk about alone."

Yang Shi, Liu Hu and the others were extremely strange in their hearts, since Lu Mulin said that Zhang Xu, the Taishou of Hedong County, was Zhang Bin's cousin, the prince had been silent, could it be that the prince would be afraid that a Taoist priest would not succeed, how could they know that Yang Yong had turned so many thoughts in his mind.

After everyone retreated, Yang Yong scratched out his discovery on the table with tea, and Lu Mulin suddenly became solemn: "Prince, if this is the case, then we will suffer, which is equivalent to getting into the middle of these people." ”

"So we must not move Yu Wencheng, in case the grass startles the snakes, these people break out, only three hundred people, even if everyone can use one as ten, it is not enough for them to stuff their teeth."

"Prince, are we too sensitive, maybe things are not like that." Lu Mulin still had some hesitation, after all, he was young, although he was smart, he hadn't experienced too many battles, and he didn't understand why someone dared to take risks when the foundation of the Great Sui was already stable.

"Then can you explain why Yu Wencheng is reluctant to be promoted? Wanrong County can be so prosperous, it is definitely not a year's work, Zhang Xu is the boss, does he really not know about Wanrong County? If so, why hide it? Promoted to make a fortune, promotions have always been in the front, if there are more important things, why don't Yuwen become reluctantly promoted? ”

Lu Mulin was dumbfounded by Yang Yong's series of questions, and he suddenly panicked: "Prince, then let's leave Wanrong County quickly." ”

"What about after leaving?"

"Naturally, it will be reported to the court and these people will be arrested one by one."

"These are just speculations, except for Yu Wencheng, there is no evidence at all, how to catch it? How can the court believe that if it is caught correctly afterwards, it is fine, if it is caught wrong, do you know how much reaction it will cause, if only Yu Wencheng is arrested, in case our speculation is true, it is equivalent to directly forcing them to rebel, how much loss will it bring to the Great Sui? ”

"Then please ask the prince to leave first, and Weichen will stay here to investigate and have their evidence."

"It may not be dangerous to stay here, but there can be an accident when you leave this place, this palace is out of Beijing, they must have received the news, fortunately, this palace has not alarmed anyone here, otherwise it may fall into the hands of Liang Shiyan when passing through Puzhou, presumably at this moment they are looking for traces of this palace, if they are found when they return to Puzhou, can they rush out with three hundred cavalry."

Although it was just a guess, Lu Mulin was still afraid for a while, Puzhou and Huazhou were just separated by the Yellow River, and if the identity of the prince was discovered, it would be really desperate.

Lu Mulin scolded hatefully: "The Dark Clothes Guard is really a rice bucket, he spent more than 200,000 yuan last year, and there is not the slightest news about such a big matter." ”

Lu Mulin is also in a hurry, even if the Dark Clothes Guard gets financial support, it has only been developed for three years, how can he have the energy to invest in the county level, and it is not surprising that he can't find out about Wanrong County, however, Yang Yong also feels that the Dark Clothes Guard should be beaten, so that it will not be easy to control in the future, at least Yuan Hao, the person in charge of the Dark Guard, will inevitably be scolded.

When Yang Yong and Lu Mulin were still about to discuss, Liu Hu's voice sounded: "Childe, that Yu Wenyuan is here again." ”

Since Yu Wenyuan was slapped by his father on the first day, the second day was like a different person, not only came to apologize to Yang Yong, but also exalted himself, under the pretext that Yang Yong and others were not familiar with Wanrong County, and acted as a guide.

Yang Yong sighed, and had to end the conversation with Lu Mulin: "Let him in." ”
