This inn has a tavern below and a lodging place above.

Although some of them are being repaired, so a part of the corridors and passages are blocked in the building, but the entire lobby is still quite elegantly arranged, in the spacious hall, low tables and seats are dotted among them, and some people sit in it.

Among them, as a striking eye, is a tall and thin man, who sits in the center, surrounded by several servants, and the stars are holding the moon, looking towards the door.

This person is Zao Song.

Wang Jun had many daughters, either married to confidants and important ministers, or contacted the powerful of the family, and had many righteous daughters, who successively married several leaders of Duan Xianbei for marriage.

This Zao Song's wife is Wang Jun's queen Shao.

Speaking of Zao Song, I have to mention his father Zao, this person is a literary master, more familiar with Huang Laozhi's words, and he has also made a lot of achievements in the officialdom, once served as the assassin of Jizhou, so he befriended Wang Jun, and the two sides contributed to this marriage for the sake of stability.

Therefore, in terms of identity and background, this Zao Song is really envious of others, and he is also quite famous and famous in Youzhou, and Huan Yi, as an important staff member of the King of Jiangdu, visited Wang Jun several times for the sake of the relationship between the two sides, so he has already had contact with this Zao Song, and the two sides can be regarded as having a friendship.

But when he met in this place, it made Huan Yi a little embarrassed, and he was a little embarrassed.

You must know that the reason why they didn't choose the more peaceful and stable route of Youzhou, and instead chose to pass through Jizhou, which is a mess, dangerous everywhere, and even a part of the battle situation of the Qianren, is to avoid Wang Jun, contact Chen Zhi in private, and try to get some benefits first.

In fact, before this, some potential agreements had been reached between King Jiangdu and King Jun of Youzhou, a large part of which were for Daijun, but as a result, the front foot had just been agreed, and the back foot came to contact privately, and anyone would feel embarrassed, let alone be accidentally seen through.

It's just that Huan Yi has been through a hundred battles in the end, and after a short period of surprise and embarrassment, he immediately frowned, and stepped forward to greet: "I didn't expect to see Brother Zao here, I don't know why you came to this generation of counties?" I waited for the two sides to agree, why did you come in advance? ”

Zao Song was stunned when he heard this, and then couldn't help laughing, pointed at Huan Yi and scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Huan Maolun, you really will be a wicked person to sue first, why don't you say yourself, why did you appear here, don't tell me, you thought of a place, you are informing Da Sima, and then meeting in Guangchang." ”

Huan Yi also smiled cooperatively, then pulled Chang Xuan, who he had just met, walked over, sat on the edge of the jujube song, and nodded solemnly: "That's right!" ”

"You, this face is really breathtaking." Zao Song shook his head with a smile, invited the two to sit down, waved his hand, let the servants around him disperse, and told the store about the food and drinks, and then looked at Chang Xuan and asked about the calendar.

"This is Chang Xuan Changjun in Shu." Huan Yi took the opportunity to introduce, and then confessed: "So that Chang Jun can know that the name under him is not the one he just said, but Huan Yi, the Yi of the sacrificial vessel, because he came from Jizhou, it is inevitable to be a little cautious." "Since they have all met Zao Song, it will be self-defeating to conceal their identity, Huan Yi simply told Chang Xuan next to him this name, anyway, if he doesn't say it, Zao Song will not be polite.

"It turned out to be the gentleman of the Huan family, but he was rude," Chang Xuan still treated him politely, "There is also this one, could it be the jujube monarch under the command of Wang Da Sima?" ”

"It's not talented, it's down." After Zao Song finished speaking, he asked quite uninhibitedly: "Looking at Chang Jun's bearing, he is not an ordinary person, but I am lonely and unheard, I have never heard of your name and surname, and I came to Daijun today, where did I come from?" ”

Chang Xuan said: "In the next home to record more history, is to travel in love, record the customs, because in Shu and Daomen are a little hypocritical, listen to them say something about this generation of the county, yearning, this is here, but there are waves on the way, it is from Youzhou to enter, just in this Guangchang met two. ”

"It turned out to be a descendant of the historian, which is really disrespectful and disrespectful." Zao Song nodded, and then sighed, "This generation of counties is extraordinary, I just entered a county, and I faintly felt unusual, not to mention the order in the city, there are repairs and covers everywhere, and the atmosphere inside can be said to be a new ......."

He glanced at Huan Yi, and said: "Don't think I'm deliberately speaking to mislead you, Daijun Guangchang I have been here before, at that time the atmosphere of the entire county, but it is completely different from now, don't accept the businessmen who come and go, even the big clans, clans, and cloth clothes in the city have the heart to leave, and they can't live in fear, and among the many displaced people who go south, there are people from villages outside the city, but now it is completely different, not to mention the meaning of the rising sun, and there are many homeless people who secretly come to take refuge, You may not have been to the private sector outside the north of the city, right? ”

"You said there were homeless people who secretly came to take refuge?" Huan Yi was really surprised at this moment, "Could it be that there is a camp tent in the north of the city for settling?" ”

"That's right," Zao Song shook his head lightly, showing a wry smile, "You are working under the command of the king of Jiangdu, it is impossible not to know, the importance of this population, many things, are restricted by the population, the county is originally in the frontier, by the invasion of the three parties, it is difficult to develop at all, the population is constantly lost, so it is a few weak counties in Youzhou, as a result, Chen Zhi relied on this foundation to suppress all parties, and even the seven Xianbei were subdued, forming a barrier in the north, and mobilizing many mining slaves and martial artists to build roads, which was a great prosperity, but absorbed the scattered population around it. ”

As he spoke, he took out an iron token from his arms: "And this person also got iron ore at the moment, smelting iron by himself, I heard rumors, saying that this person built several iron yards by the Sanggan River and smelted iron by himself, and I don't know whether it is true or false, but this token is from the hand of their Daijun, I have let people identify it, and it is said that it is good color and hardness." ”

At this moment, even Chang Xuan couldn't help but say: "That Chen Fujun is also paying for the county towns to repair the cities and shops, and build roads, recruit many martial artists, drill, and inspect, not to mention the new Daibei New Town, this is all a matter of spending money like flowing water, and now it is even more necessary to smelt iron, and it will also require a lot of money investment in the early stage, where does it come from?" ”

"This prince spends a lot of money, but Jubao's ability is not small," Zao Song obviously has research, "Not to mention the paper mill and the kiln, you look at this token, don't you know it yet?" Presumably, both of them have also received this recommendation order, so they should know how much the businessmen yearn for this place now, and this is another source of money. ”

Huan Yi couldn't help but get up, and whispered: "In this way, this generation of counties is really about to rise?" ”

"Isn't it? Otherwise, why would you come here secretly? Zao Song immediately teased, but before he could say more, an old herdsman came in from outside and went straight to the table of several people.

As soon as Huan Yi saw this person, he asked directly, "Have you figured it out?" ”

That Lao Xie obviously came running quickly, and he didn't care about wiping the sweat on his forehead, so he hurriedly said: "I have heard, the so-called new city is said to be built in the north of the Sanggan River!" ”

"What?"

This answer was really unexpected by Huan Yi, and he couldn't help but subconsciously lose his voice.
