Li Bai's popular swan song for the ages: "The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March." The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen. It adds to the infinite charm of Yangzhou, an ancient city.

"Wrap 100,000 yuan around your waist and ride a crane to Yangzhou!"

Truly! In addition to the unique Jiangzuo style, Yangzhou is also a place that makes people want to live. Historically, it is a famous place all over the world, selling gold caves. On Huaiyang Road, Guazhou Ferry, most of the people who come and go from the south to the north are looking for flowers and asking willow guests. They come to Yangzhou to look for alternative prosperity, look for Yangzhou's Yingge Yan dance, look for Yangzhou's drunken gold fans, and look for Yangzhou's sound dogs and horses. The Tang Dynasty poet Jia Dao has a poem: "When it comes to Yangzhou, there is an old tour of the." There are many people who don't see it, so why don't you go upstairs? It is a vivid portrayal of the literati and wealthy businessmen who came to Yangzhou to seek / have fun.

"On the moonlit night of the twenty-four bridges, I am concerned about the ...... Yangzhou."

The Yangzhou of later generations is less elegant and soft than Yangzhou thousands of years ago, and more is the hustle and bustle of the modern city, which makes Zhen Qian's heart yearn for it.

"Fujiwara-kun don't be in a hurry, after a few ****, I will return to Zhending, if everything goes well, I can enjoy the lights of Yangzhou with you!"

Fujiwara was afraid that Zhen Qian would regret it, so he finally relented, and naturally the sooner he set off, the better, and got on the thief ship...... Of course, it is impossible to send the Tang envoy Zhou Boat to regret it, "Since Zhen Lang wants to return to Zhending, why don't you let me accompany you?" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong thought carefully that Zhen Qian would naturally not break it, and nodded: "It is really the Hengzhou Governor's Office, where businessmen gather and culture is prosperous, Fujiwara-kun might as well visit with me!" ”

"That's what I mean!"

The typhoid fever of the county lord of Jinyuan has stabilized, and after the famous doctor invited from Zhending to brave the snow for diagnosis and treatment, he thought that he could go on the road after a few days of rest, Li Huang was also ready to rush back to the capital in the next few days, and originally wanted to leave his daughter in Luquan County temporarily, but seeing that Zhen Qian was preparing to return to Zhending, he dispelled this idea.

Zhen Qian took the gift to find the residence of Zhang County Lieutenant, and walked into the living room of Zhang County Lieutenant, Zhang County Lieutenant is a shriveled old man who is close to old age, it is said that he has repeatedly tried and asked someone to find a Xu official to do it for a few years, just when the vacancy of Luquan County County Lieutenant was filled, he was reckless and loyal to the world, but he was insatiable and mercenary in private, knowing that he would not have a chance to be promoted in this life, he was very fond of beauty and yellow and white things, and the people behind him called Zhang Heixin.

is such a person who is in charge of criminal and judicial affairs such as theft arrest and public security in Luquan County, and is equivalent to the secretary of the county political and legal committee and the director of the public security bureau in later generations, and the power can be imagined.

Zhen Qian and Zhang County Lieutenant usually have little contact, but they have a lot of filial piety every year, and they don't have the consciousness of taking money and not doing things, but they are all right.

Now that County Lieutenant Zhang has one more identity: the regimental training envoy, it is neither possible nor realistic for Zhen Qian to bypass County Lieutenant Zhang, so he can only visit the door hard.

For the sake of filial piety every year, County Lieutenant Zhang did not put up an official stand with Zhen Qian, and warmly received Zhen Qian: "Zhen Lang! The official is really powerless about the weapons and equipment of the regimental training, and the private use of weapons requires Changshi's nod, and the weapons in the county warehouse are unmaintained all year round, even if Changshi agrees, I am afraid there are few suitable weapons, so it is better to bring your own! ”

What County Lieutenant Zhang said was not all prevarication, Zhen Qian had learned that there were indeed not many weapons in the county's warehouses, and since there were few wars in the interior, weapons had long been unusable if they had not been maintained all year round. Second, the Tang Dynasty had strict weapon control, such as bows, crossbows, Mo knives and other powerful weapons were built by special craftsmen in Zhichong Prefecture, and the county had to declare the use in advance, and the private possession of weapons and armor was a felony of stealing the family and exterminating the clan, and it was no wonder that the powerful squires of Luquan County heard that they were going to set up a regimental training camp, one by one like a red-eyed cockfight, and the real purpose was to have sophisticated weapons and equipment reasonably.

Under the division of interests of all parties, Zhen Qian, the deputy envoy of regimental training, could only master one team of regimental training, and the other two teams of regimental training were divided among other powerful squires.

Many powerful squires have privately forbidden weapons and armor in their hands, and Zhen Qian is of course no exception, but Zhen Qian, like other powerful squires, does not want to take out his old bottom to arm the regiment for training, first, for fear of revealing his wealth, and secondly, for fear of attracting criticism, it is not surprising that he poured bitter water on Lieutenant Zhang and asked for weapons.

Zhen Qian knew that County Lieutenant Zhang had hidden a lot of weapons privately, and pushed a wooden box in front of him, "County Lieutenant Zhang has to think of a way, without weapons group training, you can't help Luquan County maintain law and order with your bare hands, even if you find someone to build it now, it is impossible to get it all right away, you see ......!" ”

County Lieutenant Zhang lifted the wooden box up a slit, and saw that there were a hundred gold coins neatly stacked inside, and the golden light flashed so that people's eyes narrowed into a slit, and a relieved smile immediately appeared on his face, "The regimental training has just been formed, and the state government attaches great importance to this matter, I heard that a lot of regimental exercises have been formed in various places, and the state government can't take out so many weapons at once, but there are a batch of weapons that just entered last year in the county office, and they are preparing to replace the soldiers of Luquan County, anyway, the regimental training has to guard the county seat, and it is better to give the regimental training ...... first."

County Lieutenant Zhang took out the paperwork, signed his name on it with some reluctance, and handed it to Zhen Qian: "With this document, go to the county government warehouse to receive a team of weapons and equipment for regimental training, I hope that the regimental training will be completed as soon as possible, and in the future, the defense and security of Luquan County will be handed over to Zhen Lang and the regimental training battalion!" ”

The weapons and equipment are spent in the state and county coffers, but in fact the weapons and equipment for the regimental training are purchased by themselves, and the weapons and equipment distributed are either of poor quality or are secretly stolen and sold by the state and county. If Zhen Qian didn't bribe County Lieutenant Zhang, he could only let Tuanlian buy it himself, but did Tuanlian have money? An ordinary horizontal knife costs more than four or five times, a set of standard weapons and equipment is purchased, and small families are not bankrupt to sell their children and daughters, Zhen Qian can't do such a immoral thing, besides, most of the regimental training under his command are homeless, so it's good not to help himself.

County Lieutenant Zhang was happy in his heart, he didn't spend a penny in the county to form a regiment, but he made a lot of money. With the title of the regimental training envoy, the benefits are naturally indispensable, and don't trouble yourself about work.

That's the case in the officialdom, the right not to expire and be invalidated, Zhen Qian can't cross the line, his eyes are firmly on his own one-third of an acre, and he doesn't want to interfere in the affairs of other regimental training teams, Luquan County's regimental training has become a private soldier in the hands of local powerful squires, and has evolved into a local separatist force in the future.

Zhen Qian took the paperwork of County Lieutenant Zhang and called the iron pillar to prepare to collect weapons and equipment, and met Hao Ren who was patrolling the street on the way, "Zhen Lang, I went to your house to look for you just now, I heard that you went to County Lieutenant Zhang, how did things go?" ”

The two walked into the wine shop on the side of the road and sat down, "Thank you Brother Hao for your advice, County Lieutenant Zhang really has a batch of weapons in his hand, and I am preparing to get weapons and equipment."

"I'm afraid it's a little bit less!"

Zhen Qian smiled, and they both knew it, "Brother Hao has something, and he will never shirk if he does what he can!" ”

"I'm relieved to have Zhen Lang's words", Hao Ren sneered: "Do you know that kid in my family, not to mention being stubborn, and being idle all day long to make trouble, isn't it recruiting group training now?" I have a cheeky reluctance to ask, can you send that kid from my family to your team, and the treatment is not required, as long as you can manage it well, this matter will not embarrass you too much! ”

"What you said is out of sight, that kid is strong and strong, full of strength, if he doesn't find something to do, of course he has no place to vent his energy, send it to the regimental training camp, and he is definitely a good soldier after a period of training!"
