After sending Chen Yong away, Chen Zhi went straight to the backyard, entered the house, and saw his wife. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The daughter of the Yang family, Yang You.

Yang was wearing a skirt, looking calm and smiling, sitting at the table, looking like she had been waiting for Chen Zhi's return, and there were dishes on the table beside her, and there were hot meals in it.

"They are all cooked according to your command." She looked at the food on the table and said with a smile, her voice soft.

If you are here, some people will find that the food on these tables is slightly different from the popular dishes of this era.

Steamed cakes, wontons, sea bass, yellow finch moxibustion, Ulva soup......

In fact, there are not many styles of dishes, and they are also the favorite meals of today's scholars, but some of the methods and condiments in it are different from the outside world, and the fragrance emitted is still better than that of the outside taverns and restaurants.

In fact, many of the things in it were taught by Chen Zhi, when he wrote "Qi Min Yaoshu", he involved a lot of breeding and planting techniques, and naturally mentioned diet and practices, so he simply combined the later generations with the current trend, made some modifications, passed on to his wife, and found something for her to do.

Of course, these contents will also be written by Chen Zhi into "Qi Min's Technique", which will be the key to his next step to be too punctual.

The direct result of this action is that Chen Zhi's family is ahead of the world in terms of food, and Chen Zhi's new wife has discovered her hidden hobby - there is no doubt that cooking for her husband is a joy for her, especially after learning the latest cooking methods.

As a husband, Chen Zhi has become a direct beneficiary, at least when he eats, he can deeply feel the different taste from the past.

Yang You is very talented in this area.

At this time, the Yang family was by Chen Zhi's side, looking at Chen Zhi from time to time, the two did not say much, and occasionally stopped to talk with chopsticks, but it was just an ordinary trivial matter, and it did not involve the court and the situation.

This environment made Chen Zhi's mind extraordinarily peaceful, allowing him to calmly think about many things, such as what was to come, and how to carry out his work after arriving in the Northland.

"This social experiment in the capital has already achieved results, and the success of the reviews has also explained a lot of problems, which means that many things can be dealt with in the methods of later generations, and it is time to find another pilot place for further research."

The meal was not eaten for a long time, after the meal, Chen Zhi and Yang You talked about music for a while, his wife, has studied qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Chen Zhi has made great progress in music after a year of immersion, which is a personal progress that puts aside the influence of "Xiao Gui Cao Sui Book".

So the two talked happily.

After everything was finished, Chen Zhi suddenly said: "I think it will be time to leave Luoyang in a short time, and when the time comes, I will go to Pengcheng first, and then go to Beidi." ”

Yang You obviously knew what Chen Zhi was referring to, and she smiled slightly: "The concubine is following her husband, and she is thinking of going to Pengcheng to meet her aunt, and then go to the north with her husband." ”

Chen Zhi's analysis of the future was not hidden from her, so Yang knew very well what he was going to face next.

According to the rules of the New Han Dynasty, officials above the seventh grade can bring their family members with them when they go to work, after all, there are too many restrictions on health care and transportation and communication conditions in this era, if they are restricted, I am afraid that this official will be equivalent to the separation of his wife, but where there is some foundation of the family, most of his family members will still stay at home, especially in these years, going to the north as an official, it is even more risky, leaving the family in the family or Luoyang, on the one hand, the heart of the imperial court, on the other hand, can also avoid danger.

However, considering that Chen Zhi has no children and is newly married, this wife is accompanying him, and he is actually still shouldering the burden of the family, and the Chen family hopes that Chen Zhi can inherit the family as soon as possible.

After listening to his wife's words, Chen Zhi was silent for a moment and nodded, which made Yang You, who was hanging with a heart, breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, Chen Zhi said: "However, before that, I have to report to my uncle first." ”

The maternal uncle in Chen Zhi's mouth is his father-in-law, the great Si Nong of the dynasty, Yang Jie.

This Dasi Nong is also a figure, one of the pillars of the Yang family's contemporary generation, with many children, three sons-in-law, Yang You is his concubine, but for this concubine who is quite loved by his father, Yang Jie still values it very much, and this time to choose a son-in-law, it took a lot of effort, and even with Chen Zhi is also very important.

Over the past year, in order to consolidate the position of Dasi Nong, Yang Jie has asked Chen Zhi to take ideas many times, and with the momentum of the Yang family, he now firmly holds the authority and is becoming more and more majestic.

However, when facing his relatives, he can still see his kind side.

When Chen Zhi came to visit on the second day, Yang Jiexian smiled in the face of this beloved son-in-law, and when he knew Chen Zhi's intention, his expression became serious again.

"You came just in time, I also got some news from several channels, which is similar to what you calculated before, Zhang Ying has already begun to release rumors, and is ready to give you a position that is too guarded."

"This Zhang family is really good to the kid, half a year ago he was able to get the position of secretary and supervisor, thanks to his operation, and now he has to give the kid a position of real power, I really have to thank him." Chen Zhi smiled and spoke, without the slightest hint of worry.

But across from him, Yang Jie frowned, shook his head and said, "I know what you mean, but this matter is not as simple as you think, because the place he chose this time is likely to be as you expected, it is really Youzhou!" ”

Youzhou, located in the northern part of the vast territory of the New Han Empire.

This area was a prosperous and densely populated area in later generations, but in this era, there is also a bitter cold, and the population is far from the traditional Central Plains region, which was the center of the dynasty.

In ancient dynasties, the vitality of a region was measured, and the number of households was the most intuitive embodiment, after all, the production activities of this era required sufficient manpower to carry out.

Compared with the well-developed and suitable climate of the central area and the land south of the Yangtze River, the north is undoubtedly much worse, not only the climate, but also the successive military disasters, the threat of nomadic tribes in the border areas, and in recent years, the floods and droughts that have spread to the northern states, not only destroyed the social structure and production and life of several states, but also caused the population to be reduced, either because of epidemics, or because of the migration of displaced people, to the collapse of the population structure.

"I took advantage of my position to find some documents, you can take a look at it first." Yang Jie said, called the steward, gave an order, and soon someone came over with a few files.

As soon as Chen Zhi saw it, he immediately knew that his Lord Taishan was really attentive, and he was also very attentive, so he got up first to thank him, and then took the file and opened it, and after a few glances, he immediately frowned.

There are a lot of words on the file, but the content is actually not much, after summarizing, the most useful part for Chen Zhi is the population of several counties in Youzhou.

Thanks to the implementation of policies such as the compilation of households and the people, the New Han Dynasty had a considerable degree of control over the population of each prefecture and county, and the approximate population figures could be found in the corresponding offices.

In fact, this is not surprising, the ancient dynasty also had its own official record system, the most distinctive example and representative is the record of the three Han Dynasty to the Liu clan.

Many people in later generations looked down on the ability and wisdom of the ancients, believing that in the ancient environment, many things were difficult to do, and that later generations could come by a random person, without relying on external forces, relying on the experience of later generations, and with a few words, they could deceive the high-level and bureaucrats of a country.

But in fact, even if it is a clan relative like Liu Bei who sells straw sandals, it can actually be traced, because his grandfather and father were both officials, and many ancestors before this had a lot of power in the government, how could they not be found?

And then in ancient times, it was also official, and it could be deceived with one mouth and two lines of tears?

As a clan relative, as long as he serves in the official government, he will leave a record, and Zongzheng will also have a record, unless this sect master's bloodline is completely reduced to mediocrity and has no official position.

If Liu Bei had no chance to do so, and accepted his fate to become a shoe seller, and had no contact with the government from now on, then he and his descendants would really become commoners in cloth, and there would be no record in the genealogy.

It's a pity that even if it is no different from Buyi, relying on thick black, taking advantage of the situation, taking advantage of the fire to rob and repeatedly betraying, etc., this clan member has become a rare and self-made figure in the late Eastern Han Dynasty - his name as a Han clan must have a certain strength before he can show his role, which is not helpful at all at the beginning of the business.

In view of this, Chen Zhi attached great importance to the collection of dossiers in his previous life, and was even more enthusiastic about the census, knowing its value.

"Almost all the counties in Youzhou are controlled by Wang Jun, so you must not take it lightly, thinking that if you are too shou, you can really govern as you like......"

Listening to Yang Jie's words, Chen Zhi nodded slightly, but his eyes did not leave the file.

Fanyang County, Yan County, Beiping County, Shanggu County, Guangning County, Dai County, Liaoxi County.

This is the content of the dossier displayed in front of Chen Zhi's eyes, all of which are counties to which Youzhou belongs, located around the imperial capital of later generations, in the north of Hebei.

"Youzhou still has a few counties in the northeast, but now it has been forcibly divided by Wang Jun by the words of expanding the territory and becoming a Pingzhou, and the counties involved are all under the control of Wang Jun, and the court can't ask."

Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

The location of Pingzhou, probably including the Liaodong Peninsula of later generations, is located in the northeast of Youzhou, and even the northern part of the Korean Peninsula is also in it, this state can be traced back to the late Eastern Han Dynasty Gongsun Du, self-named Pingzhou Mu, and then Yuan Zhao conquered, the land was re-attributed to Youzhou, and now Wang Jun is powerful, and then it is re-divided, just to facilitate its people to march military and political power.

"Right now, this Wang Jun has both Youzhou and Pingzhou Assassin History, and has the names of the Grand Governor, the Great General, and the Great Sima, he is in the Northeast, and he is a real one-handed coverer!"
