"The people of Dai County seem to be afraid of the people of the government. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Under the protection of Ran Zhan and many warriors, Chen Zhi spent the whole morning patrolling the farms and farmlands outside the city, and passed through several dock forts and manors.

He noticed that the people were submissive on the surface, but when they looked at themselves and others, their eyes were full of rejection and fear.

In addition to the people, he is also interested in the grassroots organizations here.

Dock forts, manors, this peculiar form of land, Chen Zhi in Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and even on the way to Luoyang, has seen a lot, but relatively speaking, it is not so frequent and common, however, as he goes north, there are more and more dock forts along the way, and when he enters the boundary of Youzhou, it is almost everywhere.

The so-called dock fort, in the first impression of Chen Zhi, is a closed, self-sufficient village, the village can produce food, can plant cash crops, can raise fish, raise ducks, raise pigs, plant fruit trees, there are so many contents, so the area of the dock fort is often not small, the scale is comparable to the village and town, in addition to the production and living areas, often with mountains and lakes, build ponds and build weirs, with surplus money, or simply the entire boundary is a landlord's dock fort, but also build pavilions and pavilions.

This kind of possession is enclosed with a dock wall to form a fortress-like cluster, equipped with militia garrisons and armor searching, which is the dock fort.

Chen Zhi knows very well that such an organizational form, which integrates production, life, processing, and even simple handicrafts and industry, can be self-sufficient at any time.

The main reason for the birth of the dock fort is the war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms.

Especially in the troubled north, in the annexation war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, those people who did not have the support of Wubao Grange were either forcibly pulled into strong people, or simply died in the war, at least in the process of the army raging, they would also lose their land.

This is a kind of reverse elimination, so that the number of people who do not live in the dock fort is rapidly reduced, on the contrary, the people of the dock fort survive, slowly become the mainstream, it seems that only when the world is unified and returns to peace, this development trend will gradually decrease.

When Chen Zhi was in the secretary province, he had consulted the relevant information and compared a few books with each other, and he came to a conclusion, that is, after Emperor Xuanwu unified the north and south, the world entered a relatively peaceful period, but the trend of dock forts and granges did not gradually disappear, but remained at a fairly stable level, and even the number of dock forts in the north is still increasing rapidly.

What is the reason, Chen Zhi summarized some from the literature and books, but after all, it is on paper, and it needs to be seen with his own eyes before he can be further determined.

"Youzhou as a frontier, sometimes there are tribal invasions, Daijun is between Xianbei and Xiongnu, both sides are often in the Kou, the people are a little more vigilant, you are newly appointed, this group of people have not seen you in the past, do not know your character, do not know your ability, so it will appear restrained, it is also human nature."

Lu Jiao, the county commander of Dai County, followed Chen Zhi and carefully explained, explaining why the people's vigilance came from.

Yesterday's Xianbei gift, the officialdom of Daixian County has experienced a turmoil from top to bottom, and the arrival of Tuoba Yulu and his party, the gifts and news sent are enough to reverse the current unfavorable situation, so that the worried Daijun officialdom can regain stability and feel that it can restore calm.

As a result, the next day, Chen Zhi suddenly went out to inspect the outside of the city, under the banner of seeing if the people were affected by the disturbance of the Huns.

This reason and entry point are just right, so that even Liu Bao and others can't be blocked by the reason that they are too new to arrive and need to be familiar with the structure of the government first.

As the leader of Dai County, Lu Jiao used the excuse of leading the way and inspected with Chen Zhi, but during the whole inspection process, his side was constantly on errands, and people kept coming and going, bringing news to Lu Jiao and conveying Lu Jiao's instructions.

Chen Zhi is no stranger to this kind of situation, whether it is the first or second life, he has seen it and happened to himself, knowing that it was a sudden inspection by his superiors, and the people below were hurriedly arranging and coping.

Chen Zhi did not stop it, his inspection this time can be said to be out of the expectations of all parties, originally his party arrived earlier than scheduled, coupled with the death of the land area, the attack of the Huns, and the series of sudden accidents of Xianbei's gift, so that Daijun from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, have fallen into the situation of taking care of one and losing the other, how can they still think about others.

Chen Zhi's sudden action today made the Daijun officialdom, which had just put his mind at ease, turbulent again, but because of the series of events in front of them, they had already been deterred, and they didn't have time to arrange in advance, so they could only make slight corrections in a hurry, hide the things that were really unsightly, and then explain the various situations as much as possible.

Chen Zhi doesn't have to reveal everything, he understands the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish.

But now, looking at the peculiar expressions of the people, Chen Zhi still couldn't help but pay attention, he wouldn't believe Lu Shu's words, but he didn't ask questions to investigate, which made Lu Jian and the accompanying officials breathe a sigh of relief.

"Taishou, it's not early, noon is approaching, shouldn't we go back to the city? It's time for Mr. Tuoba to get up, he has made great efforts this time, saved face for the court and our county, and sought justice for Lu Taishou, so you can't be lazy, the banquet at noon, you must be solemnly entertained, and if you don't go back now, it's too late. ”

Lu Xuan glanced at the sun in the sky and found an excuse, so he wanted Chen Zhi to return to the city.

Tuoba Yulu and his party, after a fight, spent a lot of physical strength and energy, came to Dai County, there is Chen Zhi, don't worry too much about safety, so after yesterday's gift, after a little rest, they all went to rest, sleep is an important way to replenish physical strength, so they are all on the day, and they haven't gotten up.

If their group of heroes didn't get up, no one would dare to disturb them, otherwise, the officials of Dai County would have used Tuoba Xianbei as an excuse to prevent Chen Zhi from going out for inspection.

Chen Zhi nodded, did not express his position immediately, looked around a few more times, swept his eyes over a dock fort in front of him, and said: "What you said makes sense, but we have all come to this dock fort, we must go in and have a look, otherwise let the people in this fort see it, and it is not a good thing to understand that I am too guarded to the door and not enter, right?" ”

"Yes, yes," Lu Yan nodded quickly, "we can't let the people misunderstand." But he secretly complained in his heart, after the Huns, he saw the means planned by this Taishou in advance, no one in the county dared to underestimate him, and Lu Yan did not dare to despise him at all, so he was particularly distressed.

You must know that he has been with him all the way, it can be said that he is exhausted, on the one hand, he has to arrange trivial matters to prevent some ills from being caught by this new Taishou and becoming an excuse for rectifying officialdom and beating himself, and on the other hand, he has to deal with Chen Zhi's inquiries and find a plausible excuse for all kinds of strange scenes, which can be described as racking his brains.

Chen Zhi's problems were relatively common at the beginning, like ordinary officials who came down to inspect, Lu Jiao was relatively relaxed at the time, but as time went by, the problems became more and more tricky and direct, many of which went straight to the core, so that Lu Jiao could deal with it with hard work, neither could he use lies to prevent him from being settled after the autumn, but he could not speak out, because that would offend people and expose the problem more.

The answer of three points true and seven points false is too much to test knowledge and heritage, and how hard it is to deal with it, so Lu Jiao thought about returning to the city as soon as possible, so as to end the torment, and finally found an excuse, and as a result, he had to inspect another Zhuangzi, which made him a little overwhelmed, but fortunately, he listened to Chen Zhi's tone, this is the last one, and it gives him hope, so he fights his spirit and prepares to finish the last journey.

A group of more than 50 people walked forward slowly.

Looking at the crops on both sides of the road, and at the vigilant and repulsive people in the farmland, Chen Zhi calculated the reason.

Chen Zi, who was beside him, suddenly said: "The dock fort is close in front of you, why are the people still farming outside the fort?" ”

Lu Jiao hurriedly said: "Wubao and manor, of course, are the main body of the north, but it is still unrealistic to leave a large area of land not to cultivate, for various reasons, people can often be seen on the land outside these villages, and the details of it will not be clear for a while. ”

Chen Zhi suddenly said: "Lu County Order, before I asked people to inform the people, saying that there were Hu people and thieves invading, so that they should not go out easily, without the protection of the army, or gather the people in the city, just because when I came, I saw that there were many dock forts along the way, and the people lived in it, and there was a dock wall to support them, so they could not worry, but now I look at it, there are still so many people working outside the dock fort, it is too dangerous, in case the thieves come, what should I do?" ”

This time it was Chen Zhi who asked, and Lu Jiao couldn't help but answer, but he was relieved in his heart, and said: "Back to Taishou, these people can farm outside the fort, mostly because of the kindness of the dock owner, if the thieves come, someone in the dock fort will come out to spread the word, let them return as soon as possible, don't worry about being affected." ”

"I see." Chen Zhi nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but Lu Zhi became more and more distracted.

Lu said in his heart, turning his thoughts: "I forgot, this is a child of the family, although the means are amazing, but I haven't seen many things at the bottom, ask such words, it is obvious that the four bodies are not diligent and the grains are not distinguished, I was suppressed by the Huns, Xianbei and Lu Taishou, so that I forgot this, as long as this Chen Taishou does not know much about cumbersome things, it is perfunctory, but it is simple." ”

He was thinking about it, when Chen Zhi suddenly spoke again: "By the way, you said that the dock lord is kind, could it be that the land outside the city is also related to the dock master?" In Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and even Yanzhou and other places, most of the dock forts I saw were places where villagers gathered, and the fields belonged to each other, surrounded by dock walls, and helped each other. ”

When Lu heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
