When Tang Cheng and Zhang Xiangwen rode all the way to the Wanfu Building in Jinzhou, they heard a surprising news that the banquet had been dispersed, and the observation made Yu Dongjun and Yao Rongfu, the state assassin, have already left, and the tolerances outside the building have naturally been removed.

Hearing the news, Zhang Xiangwen was a little stunned, looked up at the sky, it was still early, he didn't even sing and dance when he left, and no matter how much the banquet was held, there was no reason to disperse so quickly, "What's going on."

"How do I know", Tang Cheng didn't understand what was going on, it was too abnormal, "Find the second child who served the banquet and ask."

The result of this question is even more jaw-dropping, according to that Xiao Er, the observation of the Lord is because of the matter of road construction and Yao Tingshi said that it is not speculative, and after being worn out by the water grinding kung fu of Lord Jun, he actually got up and arched his hand with a cold face and left.

When Tang Cheng heard this, he glanced at Zhang Xiangwen and asked in surprise, "Lord Yu just left?" ”。

"Let's go, observe that the master can go fast", the little two glanced left and right, took a step forward and whispered: "I guess I didn't expect Master Yu to leave like this, the smile on his face was not taken down, and he was stunned in the Accord for a while."

"And then?".

"At that time, the quiet needles in the Accord could be heard, so that Master Jun couldn't get off the stage, and after being stunned for a while, he also left with a calm face, and then those old men and women from the city and countryside also followed."

"I'm not asking about this, I'm asking where did the envoy go?"

"Back to the young master, this little one doesn't know."

"Okay, you go", Tang Cheng waved his hand. The little two turned around, Tang Cheng looked at Zhang Xiangwen and shook his head, "Our trip is in vain."

We've seen it, and this time we've opened our eyes again."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled as bitterly as Zhang Xiangwen, he really had a long experience, who would have thought that Yu Dongjun, a dignified official, would be able to do such a thing, and actually put his face on his face at the Jinzhou welcome banquet and said that he would leave! This is so unconscionable. Not to mention that he is an observer, even a county magistrate or something can't do such a move that does not conform to the conventions of officialdom.

Although I heard Zhang Liang say that he was too broad in Yangzhou when he was in Yangzhou, he was actually not suitable for the master. But Tang Chengshi didn't expect Yu Dongjun to be able to leave the guests all dry, and no one else said anything about it. Yao Rongfu's face is considered to have dropped big.

Since this is the case, there is no need for the two of them to stay, they turned around and walked out of Wanfu Building, and just got on the horse at the gate, they heard the sound of horses' hooves splashing in front of them.

Riding a horse came to a middle-aged man wearing a seventh-grade official robe, and when he and Tang Cheng staggered by, the man took a look at the tolerance clothes on Zhang Xiangwen's body, and then stopped his horse. turned his head and shouted, "Tang Cheng."

Tang Cheng turned his head when he heard this, and the man turned his horse's head when he saw this, "You are Tang Cheng, the commander of Jinzhou Si Tian Cao?" ”。 Something is exactly".

"That's good. Come with me", and immediately the man raised his hand and pointed forward, "Observe that the Lord wants to see you", and as soon as he had finished speaking, he rode away first.

"Big brother, remember what I just told you", Tang Cheng nodded, and caught up with the seven-grade official clothes with his legs.

The Tang Dynasty post transmission system was extremely complete. In the inner 6 states, there are no dry roads or waterways. Post stations were set up every 30 miles for officials to rest and replace boats and horses. Because it is located in the state city, it is extraordinarily magnificent because of the construction of the Jinzhou Post House, and Yu Dongjun and his party live here.

Entering through the gate, through the triple courtyard and into the quietest and most elegant courtyard, Tang Cheng finally met the pure technocrat who was an outlier among the local observers of the Tang Dynasty, and he had already been famous for his time in Yangzhou.

Yu Dongjun is about fifty years old, but his body looks good, his head is black, and his body is not as chubby as Ma Dongyang and Yao Rongfu, and he looks very capable.

When Tang Cheng came in, Yu Dongjun was looking at a huge geographical map of mountains and rivers, and from a distance, this map was extremely finely drawn, compared to what Si Tian Cao hid. This is also a helpless thing, in this era, the map is an extremely important strategic secret, different levels enjoy different accuracy of the map, for example, if the Eastern Army wants to step down, the first thing that must be delivered is this Seiko drawn sheepskin map, like this object is registered in the imperial court, it is absolutely impossible to flow out. With Tang Cheng's current position, he is destined to only look at that kind of rough and simple goods.

"You are the Jinzhou Si Tian Cao Judge?" , Yu Dongjun's fingers continued to move on the map, and he asked without looking up or turning back.

"Exactly".

How many acres of land and how many people are there in the Black Tiger area of Yunxi County under the jurisdiction of the state

Among the four counties under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou, Yunxi is the closest to Fangzhou, and it is the black tiger more than 100 miles further from Erlongzhai, which is the junction of Jinzhou and Fangzhou, but if you want to go to Fangzhou through the black tiger, you must pass through the county from Yunxi because of the surrounding mountain restrictions, which is not consistent with the news you heard at the beginning.

"Could it be that he wants to change the line?" Tang Cheng pondered in his heart, but there was no pause in his mouth, "Black Tiger is a funnel-shaped gentle slope land sandwiched by two mountains, according to the results of last year's field inspection, there are 3,865 acres and 7 points of land here, of which 439 acres of paddy fields are 3 points, all of which are at the bottom of the gentle slope. The remaining 3,426 acres are sloping land. As for the population, because the household registration is managed by the household register, it is not clear to the subordinates."

When Tang Cheng replied in a clear voice, Yu Dongjun, whose finger was still pressed on the sheepskin map, turned his head in surprise, he didn't expect Tang Chengdi's answer to be accurate to the division of land under the acre, and after he saw Tang Cheng's appearance clearly, his brows moved, one surprise after another, this Si Tian Cao Ju Si was so young.

After carefully examining Tang Cheng, Yu Dongjun turned his head again, and the fingers on the map continued to move, "How many official fields are here?" ”。 \

"Eight hundred and eighty-four acres, all high slopes."

Hearing this, Yu Dongjun's fingers focused on the map, "More than 3,000 acres of land." The number of official land has just reached one-fifth, and the remaining nearly 3,000 mu is private land, even if the slope is barren and the number of families in this place is more, these 3,000 mu of land is at least owned by more than 700 households, and according to the number of households, the average number of people in each family is six, and these more than 700 households are involved in more than 4,000 people, and this is only the land of the black tiger."

Yu Dongjun's fingers traced back to Yunxi County along the important place just now. The words were fast and urgent, "The Black Tiger is already like this, if this road is really from Jinzhou." How much land do you want to occupy? How many people's livelihoods are involved? This Yao Rongfu is unreasonable, and the route set up by the envoy is to take care of the people of Jinzhou. As a state assassin, he not only did not support it, but hindered it in many ways."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng was completely dizzy, and now he finally knows why Yu Dongjun was able to do what he did just now, and there are simply some people who can't figure it out with this adult, so it seems that he must be a purely technical official in charge of road repair in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and the things he deals with the local government must be done by others before he takes over the construction. Otherwise, he would not have been able to say such a thing.

Pure technical officer, this Yu Dongjun is really worthy of the name!

Tang Cheng didn't understand such a simple truth, why no one around Yu Dongjun told him. But this road repair matter really involves his vital interests, and at this time, he can't take into account the huge status gap under the practice of "the superior does not ask, and the subordinate does not answer", and said: "My lord." Accounts cannot be counted like this."

Yu Dongjun is a scholar of arithmetic, since he was a child has been dealing with arithmetic, since he hit the high school jinshi after being assigned to the Ministry of Industry by the Ministry of Officials, so many years he has not touched the nest, just by virtue of a road, the actual merits of a bridge from the ordinary engaged in Langzhong, the staff of the Lang, and later in the official and the staff of the Lang Lang squatting for more than ten years.

Although he is the chief officer in charge of the affairs of the first division. But he still buried himself in building roads. Si Lidi's other affairs were all lost to the two deputies Lang Zhong, so unintentionally arranging flowers. It won him a good reputation of "not taking power" in the Ministry of Industry.

Speaking of which, he is lucky, originally with his temperament in the officialdom to get to this point even if it is the top of the sky, it happens that the first dynasty is also an outlier, and he likes to be like him who has no thoughts, only knows how to work hard, and there is a recommendation from Di Renjie, the virtuous minister at that time, it was to Yu Dongjun was unexpectedly promoted by the staff to the deputy hall of the Ministry of Industry, when the holy decree came down that day, there were many people in the Ministry of Industry who were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

Building roads is Yu Dongjun's favorite, and it is also his old job, this time this road is personally assigned by His Majesty, because after Yu Dongjun received the holy decree, his mind is full of thoughts on the geographical map of mountains and rivers, all on the road, even the team he brought from Beijing is almost all subordinates who have been familiar with their hands for so many years, and there is not much gap between these people and him in terms of temperament. According to the words of later generations, the IQ is extremely high, and the EQ is miserable.

After arriving in Shannan Dongdao to take up his post, the due officialdom was completely exempted from the Eastern Army, and every day he pondered the geographical map of the mountains and rivers that he had just received not long ago, and his subordinates were also sent out by him to explore the terrain.

The new observation makes the adult so strange, even if someone has a heart, it is not easy to say anything in depth when the time is too short, and when they want to wait and see, Yu Dongjun, who is not hot in the Daocheng Yamen, has already brought people down.

In a word: Yu Dongjun, an outlier in the officialdom, has almost not acted in accordance with the rules of officialdom since he took office in Shannan Dongdao.

In the past, when he was in the Ministry of Works, he was only responsible for the construction, but now when the local government is fully responsible for the construction of this road, it really makes him feel that everything is awkward and constrained everywhere.

He was Yao Rongfu complaining just now, but he didn't expect Tang Cheng to answer, and when he heard the words, he stood up and turned his head to look at Tang Chengdao: How do you calculate the account? ”。

"My lord, please sit down and say", the dignified observation made the adult stay in the ground house and did not even leave a waiting subordinate, it seems that it is impossible to count on Yu Dongjun to point out and let people serve tea, Tang Cheng can only do it himself, walk over and give Yu Dongjun You poured a cup of tea and poured another one, "Since the Lord came to work, now the Lord of the South East Road of the Mountain knows that the Lord is here to build the road, and they all know that this road is His Majesty's long-cherished wish for many years, like the Lord, Yao Yuanjun has also been favored by the emperor for many years, there is such an opportunity, It is also human nature for Lord Jun to want to do his part for His Majesty's long-cherished wish."

"If Yao Rongfu wants to do his best, he should do his best to support this envoy", although Yu Dongjun is straightforward. But after all, he is not stupid, as soon as this sentence blurted out, he understood what Tang Cheng meant, "You mean to calculate the accounts in the merit book?" ”。

Tang Cheng smiled when he heard this, and did not answer directly, "The route through Jinzhou is too short, and the subordinates estimate that it is really not enough to express Yao Yuanjun's heart of service to His Majesty; On the other hand, if the journey through Honshu is longer, so that the king can do it himself, even if there are many difficulties. We will be able to overcome difficulties."

"If the route is changed from Jinzhou to Fangzhou, not only will the road be more rugged, but it will also have to be built for nearly 100 miles. How much food should be spent on this nearly 100-mile journey? How much conscription is used? Your Majesty built this road precisely for the convenience of the people, so this official will not live up to the grace of God. This method is not advisable", Yu Dongjun shook his head without thinking, "Tang Cheng, tell me, what is the topography and acres of land in the Sanguan place of Zhushan County under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou?" ”。

The best! Co-authored Yu Dongjun's heart has nothing but the road, Tang Cheng's words are in vain.

Sanguan is a place name, that is, the thirty miles of land that Yu Dongjun instructed to wipe Jinzhou, and it is also the place where Yao Zhijun played his hands. This question was too sensitive, Tang Cheng pondered for a while before he said: "There are 4,527 acres of land in Sanguan Land, of which less than 300 acres are paddy fields, and the rest are sloping land. Therefore, the mountains are large and the forests are dense, and these slopes are all high slopes, and the barren land is very thin. However, the amount of official land in this place is quite large, 2,176 acres, about half."

"It's all high slopes!" , Yu Dongjun put down the teacup and came to the map again, "How are the people here?" ”。

"The mountains and forests in that place are also big, and most of the mountain people are half-fields and half-hunting. The folk customs are extremely strong". Tang Cheng replied without hesitation, "If you want to build a road from here." First, it is not easy to recruit and mobilize the people, and second, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive."

"Someone", as Yu Dongjun shouted, a small colonel wearing leather armor came in outside, "You go out immediately, go to the Sanguan place in Zhushan County to see the terrain and terrain, and send the Zhushan master book to see me."

After the colonel went, Yu Dongjun was buried in the mountains and rivers again.

Having said that, Tang should take his leave. But he didn't say what he wanted to say, because he didn't leave, and he also went to the bookcase with the teacup, but he saw Yu Dongjun landing on the geographical map of mountains and rivers, and his eyes and fingers had quietly slid to the side.

It seems that he has the intention to adjust the route, seeing this scene, Tang Cheng's heart jumped, if he didn't say anything he had already thought about in his heart, he wouldn't have a chance.

"My lord, my subordinates still have some thoughts about road construction that I want to talk about."

Xu is the word road repair in Tang Cheng's words is in line with Yu Dongjun's thoughts, he has no impatience, said."

"Since ancient times, it has been extremely inconvenient for all parties to get to the traffic in this way, and this situation is not only in Fangzhou, but also in almost all states. Although the local government has the intention to improve the status quo, it is difficult for the local government to bear the cost of such a huge project, and there is no unified management, and even if the local government can overcome all difficulties to build some roads, it is mostly done in its own way, and the roads built in the state are all in the state. As a result, there is no decent official road in the east of Shannan."

"Shannan is adjacent to Jiannan Road, this time I came all the way to the west, and this road is no better than Shu Road", Yu Dongjun nodded when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly, "The terrain makes it so, and it is not a once, so what can I do?" This time, the road to Fangzhou, which has taken a huge amount of money, can be completed, and it is already the grace of His Majesty, and other states ...... Difficult! ”。

"It is not necessary to build a road from Daocheng like Fangzhou, the subordinate means to take the opportunity of this imperial court to repair this road, so that the neighboring states can build a road connecting Fangzhou, so that a road network can be formed, connecting Daocheng, Fangzhou and neighboring states, although there is no official road but it is actually true."

"This matter has also been thought about by the envoy", Yu Dongjun looked at Tang Cheng carefully again when he heard this, and there was a little more approval in his eyes, "But this thing is easier said than done, but it is difficult to do, the money and grain allocated by the imperial court and the quota for conscription are still insufficient in Fangzhou, and the states of this province are barren, but what can be used to repair this road network?" There is no money and food, and there is no merit, and building roads is an extremely difficult errand, such as this Golden State, Yao Rongfu is willing to undertake this? ”。

At this point, Yu Dongjun shook his head, "Although the envoy has this heart, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice." Moreover, before the road to Fangzhou was repaired, there was really no energy to waste this matter with the local state capital, so I could only think about it, and the road network was ...... It's a good way to say, it can only be left for later", when it came to the road network, Yu Dongjun's eyes were shining, but in the end, it could only be attributed to a sigh.

"Adults don't need to worry about this, this road connecting Fangzhou can be built by Jinzhou itself."

"Is that true?".

"Seriously", Tang Cheng's eyes firmly met Yu Dongjun.

"No money to disburse? No conscription? ”。

"If you really don't have it, then it's fine."

Dongjun stared at Tang Cheng's eyes, "Who will repair?" ”。

"If the adults are willing to order the state government to build the road on this, Yao Zhijun can be trusted", Tang Changcheng exhaled a breath, and said solemnly: "My subordinates are willing to be the people who recommend themselves."
