Chapter 35 Yixian Fights in the Sky
Things in the world are such a coincidence, not long after Fa Zheng and Meng Da left for Hanzhong, Ma Chao, Han Ying, and Deng Zhi came to Yixian County.
Yixian County is not big, and it didn't take long for them to find the Fa family's residence.
Knowing that the scholars did not have a good impression of the Xiliang Army, Ma Chao did not reveal his identity, but visited in the name of Deng Zhi.
After the three of them saw Fa Yan, they bowed down, and Deng Zhi said:
"Xinye Deng Zhi and his friends meet Uncle Fa Yan!"
"Virtuous nephew is polite, please come in!" Fa Yan, who had already stepped down, did not have an official position, and seeing that the three of them were extraordinary, he did not dare to slack off, welcomed them into the lobby and took their seats, and after ordering his subordinates to serve tea, he said:
"Xinye Deng Zhi, could it be the Deng family of the founding general Deng Yu?"
"Uncle is really knowledgeable, and the ancestor is Deng Yu!"
"Fortunately, General Deng was famous all over the world, no one knew it, no one knew it, and he made immortal contributions to my Han Dynasty, and the world should remember it; I don't know why the virtuous nephew came this time? ”
"I heard with my friends that your son is a well-informed and model of my generation, so I came to visit and bother my uncle to give an introduction!"
"Where did you come from, and how did you learn about the dogs?" When Fa Yan heard this, he was a little surprised, although Fa Zheng was famous in Fufeng County, he was just old and weak, and his reputation had not yet spread to Xinye.
"The three of us came from Hanzhong, and it was from Hanzhong City that we learned that Fufeng County's filial piety was young and promising, proficient in astronomy and geography, and was a rare celebrity in Fufeng County. Deng Zhi was afraid that Fa Yan would misunderstand, so he hurriedly expressed his goodwill.
"I see, but unfortunately it was unfortunate that Xiaozhi went out to visit friends yesterday, and it will take a few days to come back!" Fa Yan heard that they were from Hanzhong, and dispelled some doubts, but he didn't know what the three of them were looking for Fa Zheng, whether they were enemies or friends, for the sake of safety, they did not expose the fact that Fa Zheng went to Hanzhong.
"It's okay, since Xiaozhi is not in the mansion, then I will wait for the three of us to visit again at another date." At this time, Deng Zhi glanced at Ma Chao, the main owner was not there, and asked Ma Chao if he wanted to leave and leave.
When Ma Chao heard this, he was also very helpless, he knew that he would encounter difficulties before he came, no, he was really said by his crow's mouth, the first time he came, he didn't even see him, so he said:
"Then bother my uncle, I will wait for the three of us to say goodbye, and when Xiaozhi comes back, please convey it, and say that I will wait for the three of us to come to visit in seven days!"
"The son is serious, the old man must tell the dog, the virtuous nephew walks slowly, and the old man will not be far away!" So he sent Ma Chao and the three out of the house.
Since the main owner is not in Yixian, Ma Chao and the three of them can only go home, so they should go out for a trip and scatter their hearts!
Because Ma Chao had the consciousness of visiting the thatched cottage three times, he was not depressed when he didn't see Fazheng, and when he saw that it was getting late, he ordered him to rest in Fufeng County for one night, and then return to Hanzhong the next day.
Han Ying, who had rested, regained her former liveliness, chattering non-stop, the three of them laughed and laughed, Han Ying asked:
"Why didn't the husband find out his identity in front of Fa Yan?"
"Our Xiliang is famous for being a martial artist, and he is disliked by the world, and he is afraid that he will scare away Fazheng."
"Is this Fazheng really as powerful as the husband said, and it is worth the husband to visit twice? According to me, my husband is so busy all day, it is better to leave a name post directly, and say that Ma Chao in Hanzhong has something to summon, and he will not dare not go to Fazheng! ”
"Fa Zheng is a man full of wealth, good at scheming, he is the most urgently needed talent in my Xiliang, you two must not neglect him! Once it is scared away, it will be an irreparable loss for my Xiliang! ”
Listening to Ma Chao's seriousness, Han Ying and Deng Zhi didn't dare to make a mistake, but Ma Chao's approach undoubtedly increased Deng Zhi's favor, and it was really commendable to be able to value talents so much and be willing to lower their bodies to visit!
At the same time that Ma Chao and the three returned to Hanzhong, Fa Zheng also completed the investigation of Hanzhong City, and Meng Da set off from Hanzhong City and embarked on the return journey.
The security in Hanzhong is much better than Fa Zheng imagined, Fa Zheng previously thought that the Xiliang Army would only fight wars and would not engage in internal affairs; Otherwise, Chang'an would not have been confused by Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and the like!
However, after the war, the city of Hanzhong that Fa Zheng saw was extremely calm, everything seemed to be in order, the peasants were content with production, and the merchants were doing business in an orderly manner, leaving no trace of the war, as if he had come to a peaceful and prosperous era instead of a troubled era.
After Fa Zheng came to Hanzhong City, he was most concerned about the price of grain. Due to the catastrophe in Guanzhong, the supply of grain exceeds demand, and grain prices are bound to soar.
However, what Fazheng learned was that grain prices in Hanzhong City had indeed risen, but they were far from soaring, and the increase in grain prices was still within an acceptable range.
Fa Zheng was surprised, there are such capable people in Hanzhong City, and they can still macro-control grain prices?
Fa Zheng heard that in addition to the original Yan Pu, Hanzhong City also had an additional Gong Cao Deng Zhi, and with the cooperation of the two, Hanzhong City was governed in an orderly manner.
Zhang Lu and Yan Pu are both good at "rice road", and they have accumulated countless grains in Hanzhong over the years, but they all fell into the hands of Ma Chao.
Yan Pu saw that there was a famine in Guanzhong, and he was afraid of causing panic among the people in Hanzhong City, so he reported the situation to Ma Chao.
After Ma Chao learned of the famine, he knew that stabilizing the people's hearts was the most important thing at this time, so he decisively ordered the opening of the warehouse to release grain, which greatly suppressed the soaring price of grain.
That's what Fa Zheng learned about the price of grain...
After Fa Zheng's inspection, his impression of Ma Chao changed greatly, and he immediately decided to move his clansmen to Hanzhong. However, I haven't figured out where I want to go.
There is no hurry where to go for the time being, as long as the clansmen are settled, Yizhou and Jingzhou can be visited.
Fa Zheng returned to Yixian County, and when he heard his father say that Deng Zhi was visiting, he was immediately shocked, so he asked his father:
"Father, you said that there were three people, so what do the other two look like besides Deng Zhi, and how old are they?"
"The other two did not report their names, only said that they were Deng Zhi's friends, the man was heroic and extraordinary, like a military general, about twenty years old, the woman seemed to be two or three years younger than the man, young and beautiful, should be the wife of Deng Zhi's friend!"
"Who is the leader of the three?"
"When they first came, they were notified in Deng Zhi's name, and I thought that the three of them were headed by Deng Zhi, but when they were about to leave, it seemed that Deng Zhi's friend was scheduled to come back to visit in a week, and Deng Zhi did not object, so it was inferred that the three should be headed by that general!"
"My father expected it to be true, in the child's opinion, the military general my father said was Ma Chao himself, and the beautiful woman was Ma Chao's wife and Han Sui's daughter Han Ying, this time it was Ma Chao who came to visit the child in person!"
"What? That man is Ma Chao, the son of Xiliang who has recently been in the limelight? ”
"Yes, if the child went to Hanzhong before, the child did not dare to judge, but this trip to Hanzhong, the child has gained a lot, Ma Chaozhen is a hero, he is a famous general, not only good at martial arts, but also good at internal affairs, and now Hanzhong City is like a peaceful and prosperous era under his governance, and it is extremely peaceful! How can this be done by ordinary people? According to the appearance and age described by his father, there is no doubt that this person must be Ma Chao! ”
"Then why didn't Ma Chao report his family?"
This is where Ma Chao is clever, Ma Chao must have come this time to recruit children! In front of Xiliang, there were reckless men such as Dong Zhuo and Li Dao in Beijing, and then there were bandits such as Ma Teng and Han Sui, all of whom were not tolerated by the scholars, Ma Chao was afraid that he would scare away our scholars after reporting to his home, so he came to visit in the name of the scholar Deng Zhi! ”
"Ma Chao said that he would come back in seven days, and now three days have passed, what will you do in those four days?"
"The stakes are high, and the child needs to think about it carefully..."
