"The thieves have been wreaking havoc on Razor Onozawa for several years, and the terrain in this area is complex, with water flowing into it, lakes and depressions all over the place, and there are countless hills to hide in the meantime. ≥≥ ≥ Xiao ≥ said, so the fugitives gathered, and he had thousands of followers, rampaging around Onozawa, invading the princes. In the towns that passed, the big countries defended the cities, the small countries were insured, and the people suffered. However, the internal strife of the Lu State was forced by the oppression of the Qi State, so it was unable to suppress it. ”

"Thieves?"

Zhao Wuxian knew that this was the big leader of the bandits within a radius of hundreds of miles from Onozawa, and almost everyone knew this name in later generations, and it turned out to be this era.

But Wuxian pondered for a long time, but he didn't remember his deeds, but I remember that someone commented during the Warring States period that the thief was "the world's good use of soldiers"!

"I don't know what kind of character it is, Liqiu is not far from Onozawa, and the place of defending the country and Puyin between Lishan Razawa and Onozawa is also a place where I am determined to win, so I am not allowed to deal with him in the future, and I can carry out conscription as soon as possible after returning to Yiyi, and prepare for theft prevention this winter!"

……

From Liqiu to Qufu, the journey takes at least five days, and it has to go through three hundred miles.

Although it is almost mid-autumn, but Yundi is close to Pushui Dayozawa, the climate is mild and humid, so it is still very hot, the autumn tiger is shining, the shirtless and others are wearing wide deep clothes and wide sleeves, and they are sweating profusely, only feeling that they are in the sauna, and the rider without a shirt is from Yu Xi, and the escort Mu Xia and others are also sweating, but they are still sweating. Look around vigilantly.

After the attack on Taihang, the military officials felt guilty and learned from the pain. A whole set of escort experience has been summed up, so now there are spearmen and swords and shields among the hundreds. There are also crossbowmen, all of whom are selected elites, enough to form a special formation that Zhao Wuxian taught them.

He Ke, who can speak well, played a role as a guide, and he introduced: "In the winter of the fourth year of Chenggong, in order to strengthen the defense, the Lu State built a city west of Pushui in Jishui and north of Daze. In order to prevent invasion, this is the origin of Yuncheng. ”

Zhao Wuxian, Yundi is also a transportation point, and the Puji waterway connects the three kingdoms of Qilu and Cao.

He stood on the horse chariot with a flag and decorative coats of arms and looked around, but saw that the land of Yuncheng was full of swamps, and legend has it that Dayu judged that this was "the only middle and lower of the field", which was relatively thin.

However, after the diligent rectification work of generations of ancestors in the western part of the Lu country, it has become very suitable for farming. Because the climate in spring and autumn is warmer and wetter than in later generations, Yuncheng, with its abundant rainfall, is particularly suitable for growing rice.

On a field a few miles east of the road. Among the bleak wild trees and overgrown weeds, the ditches that diverted water meandered south and flowed north.

It's not the first time Zifu He has passed by here, and he sighed: "In previous years, when there were no disasters, every autumn harvest. Walking on the noon road, looking around, you can see the heavy ears of rice undulating with the wind. Golden and cute, but now there are foxes and rabbits in the field. Almost barren. ”

Zhao Wuxian, who even led by example in Chengxiang, also felt pity: "Such a good canal and such a good field should be a paradise on earth." Now it's so deserted! This field is overgrown with weeds and bushes, because the Qi people have destroyed a lot of fields in transit, and the autumn harvest may be delayed, but it is not too late to make up for the dead, if it is not rectified immediately, I am afraid that the winter planting and spring planting will be delayed. ”

Zifu agreed with him, but he also scoffed: "Doctor Yuncheng ignores the affairs of the city in addition to increasing taxes, how can he worry about this?" Zitai, please see, are there more and more displaced people on this road, this is all because of the poor governance of Dr. Yuncheng! ”

Indeed, on this originally prosperous noon road, there are now local farmers stepping on paddy fields with bare feet, ox carts of scholars, and even more homeless people.

From time to time, you can see groups of ragged people helping the old and the young, or staggering on the road, or sitting on the roadside to rest, or scattered in the fields and bushes, bending their heads and hooking their waists to carefully look for food, most of them just picked up voles and wolfberries, and even grass roots and wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, and there are some starvations on the side of the road.

Qi Wan, a native of the Song Kingdom, was also in the guards, looking at these hungry and green-eyed Lu people on the side of the road, he also felt a trace of fear, the domestic situation in the Song Kingdom was quite stable, except for his father who had starved when he was in the Huaxiang Rebellion twenty years ago, he could basically barely survive at other times.

"It turns out that there is such a big difference between the doctor's territory and other people's territories!"

In the Spring and Autumn Period, the clan power was still relatively strong, but there were more and more small farmers in the Lu country, and whenever the war started, the world was in chaos, and they were the most vulnerable to impact. If the doctor is cruel and unkind, or cannot organize decent relief, the displaced people have to rely on themselves if they want to get some food, and at this time, they either choose to join the big clan and become a gangster, or they are exiled from a foreign land.

Zifu He was filled with righteous indignation: "The honest will beg or find some wild vegetables and other food in the field, and the dishonest will rob or steal, and when they are extremely hungry, I am afraid that even those honest will change their nature." Over time, there will be some of them who will fall into bandits, and the nearly 10,000 people under the thieves in Onozawa will come here like this! If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, sooner or later there will be trouble, and it will even spread to the surrounding counties. ”

Wu Xian said: "Indeed, at this time, we should open a treasury for disaster relief, recruit displaced people, and organize them to return to the township, weed and cultivate fields, and prepare for winter and spring ploughing."

Zifu He sighed: "Of course it can be done under Zitai's rule, but although this is a good plan, it can't be used in Yuncheng." ”

"Why? Yuncheng is an important town in the west of the Lu country, and it is a necessary place for merchants to trade to Taoyi, corn is certainly not scarce, now that the war is over, a small part of the grain is distributed so that the common people can survive until the autumn harvest, isn't it very good? ”

"Having said that, Dr. Yuncheng refused to open a position! I had already counseled me once when I passed by a few days ago, but to no avail. ”

Zhao Wuxian was stunned, although "meat eaters are despised", as long as he is a doctor with some knowledge, he will not tolerate the loss of population in his territory, which tendon is this Yuncheng doctor?

Zifu He took the opportunity to say: "Zitai doesn't know. Yuncheng was often captured by the Qi State in the past, and it fell once last year. Later, it was returned by the Qi people, but it fell into the hands of Yang Hu. He appointed his uncle Sun Zhi as the doctor of Yuncheng to guard against the Qi army. ”

"Uncle Sun Zhi, is it the son of the Uncle Sun clan?"

"However, this person is a soldier, but he does not know how to govern the city, and he forcibly collects taxes all day long, taxes are half of the acres, and he also requires every Churu to weave a piece of armor and hand it in. He is a close confidant of Yanghu and short-sighted, and after he has enough money here, he will be replaced by a commander. So I don't care if the people live or die......"

Zhao Wuxian was silent, he had seen the scenes of refugees fleeing from famine on film and television in his previous life, and the tragic scene in front of him was as good as that. There was a look of unbearability in his eyes, but he was in the territory of Yuncheng, and these people were the subjects of the Yuncheng doctor and not his, so he could only leave some of the food and tell them that they could walk dozens of miles to the west and go to Liqiu to survive.

The reason for reaching out. It is also considering that many of the Lu potters who are now producing porcelain for the Zhao family are from Yuncheng, and it is difficult to say that there are relatives among these displaced people.

"Isn't Diqiu from the Qi Kingdom?" Many Yuncheng peasants are very ignorant of the huge territorial changes in Pubeisheng in the past few months, and they are honest people who have never left Lilu all their lives. If it weren't for the war and famine, we wouldn't be looking for food everywhere.

Feng Rin said to them in a Lu country accent: "Now that it is the border of Lu country, you can go with confidence." When the time comes, there will be porridge to drink, and there will be land! ”

After what I saw and heard on the road. Zhao Wuxian has a bad impression of Dr. Yuncheng's uncle Sun Zhi, but he has some ulterior motives. After bathing in Yuncheng and resting for a while, he still met this person with his son.

Uncle Sun Zhi was originally a minister of the Luhou Office, but he was not reused, and only after he took refuge in Yanghu did he get mixed up with the position of a doctor. At the feast, Zhao Wuxian saw that his eyes were higher than the top, the hall was richly decorated, a porcelain was neatly placed on the table to show off, and Zhao Wuxian even saw that his shoes were inlaid with jewels.

Exploding, this is the definition of this person, and there are some doubts about Yanghu's way of employing people.

"Yang Hu Mo is not because the nobles of the Lu country are dissatisfied with him, so as long as the people who take refuge can use it, they don't choose to eat?"

Shusun Zhi did not say a word about the current situation in Yuncheng, but complained that the rampant banditry had led to a reduction in taxes.

"Yuncheng is facing thieves to the south, and Qi people are forced to the north, which is really a difficult situation. The thieves of the cave chamber are the pivotal households, drive people and horses, take women, are greedy and forget their relatives, do not care about their parents and brothers, and do not sacrifice their ancestors! ”

Uncle Sun Zhi can also be said to have a deep hatred for thieves, and even told such wild rumors as eating people's hearts and livers, but he didn't realize that he was one of the sources of the rampant thieves in the south of Yuncheng.

Zhao Wuxian didn't say a word, but said to Zifu He after the banquet: "If the Son of Heaven is good, the princes will be greedy, and if the princes are greedy, the doctors will be despised, and the doctors will be thieves!" I kind of understand this today. ”

After returning to the living room, he simply recorded what he saw and heard today's in the brochure: "Yuncheng can be mapped! ”

……

After leaving Yuncheng, Wuxian and his party continued to travel eastward, and after crossing Pushui Jishui from here to the east, they would pass through the northern end of Onozawa, walk for two days, and after another seventy or eighty miles, they would arrive at Zhongduyi!

Zhongdu, whether it is the path of this time, or the psychology of the past and present life, Zhao Wuxian can't bypass this place.

Not only Zhao Wuxian, but all Chinese after two thousand years could not bypass it, bypass the rulers of Zhongduyi.

reverence, I wish to put every word of that person into my mouth and chew it a thousand and eight hundred times, and worship him as the most holy teacher, the king of eternity; Those who despise it are eager to kill them and then eat their flesh raw, denouncing "Kong Lao Er" as the source of all the evil things that happened in history.

In short, it is an extremely complex emotion.

But in the words of Zigong's senior brother Yan Hui, it is a huge hill that "looks up to it, drills it is strong, looks ahead, and suddenly looks behind", he is so horizontal in this era, no matter what kind of mood you have, you can't bypass it!

Standing on the bow of the wooden boat at the Jishui Ferry, listening to the chirping of the wild geese flying south, he thought unashamedly: "August and autumn are high, it is the time to climb the mountain and overlook the world, since it has come to the Spring and Autumn Era, if you don't climb this hill of nuns, it is in vain!" (To be continued......)
