Yuanhang entered the room and saw an old man sitting on the upper seat, about the age of a sixtieth birthday. The old man didn't get up when he saw Yuanhang coming in, but just nodded to Yuanhang.

"This son is from Luzhou?" The old man stretched out his hand and made a gesture to sit down.

Seeing that the old man didn't get up, he didn't sit down politely.

"Yes, I wonder what the old man is looking for me?" After sitting down, Yuanhang raised his head and looked directly at the old man and asked.

"Since you are from Luzhou, do you know the current situation in Luzhou?" The old man frowned, and asked as if he was very concerned.

"There was an earthquake in Luzhou, and all the houses collapsed, and even the city walls collapsed." Yuanhang replied truthfully without thinking.

"Earthquakes? I've only heard that Luzhou has been hit by disasters and a lot of people have died. The old man asked Yuanhang in puzzlement.

"Yes, a lot of people died, and if the bodies are not disposed of in time, many more will die." Yuanhang nodded and looked at the old man and said.

"Why are so many people still dying? Is there still a disaster? The old man's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but ask faster.

"Germs are contagious, although it is late autumn now, but Luzhou is in the south, and there will be plague when the temperature is high, and the plague will naturally kill people when it spreads." Yuanhang secretly wondered in his heart, didn't they know anything?

The old man looked at the voyage, stood up, walked to the chair beside him, sat down, and asked, "Dare to ask who the prince is, why have I never heard of the earthquake and plague you are referring to?" ”

"Not everything you know." Yuanhang had no place to rest because the old man had chartered the inn, and he was secretly angry, so he showed no mercy to the old man.

"Bold minion, so presumptuous in front of my master." When the middle-aged man saw Yuanhang talking like this, he stepped forward with his eyebrows upside down, domineering, and seemed to have a hands-on posture.

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, and the middle-aged man stopped, but his eyes kept staring at the voyage.

"I didn't say anything wrong." Yuanhang stood up without showing weakness and said: "What's more, what I just said, the old man really doesn't know. ”

"Childe, please sit down, the next person doesn't know the etiquette, and I hope the son won't blame him." The old man got up and hugged his fist at Yuanhang.

Seeing that the old man was polite, Yuanhang hurriedly got up and returned the salute, then sat down again, and glanced at the man from the corner of his eye.

"This son, the old man has not taken the liberty of asking the son's surname?" The old man saw that Yuanhang was neither humble nor arrogant, and suddenly had a little more affection for Yuanhang.

"Xiao Ke's surname is Ye, and his name is Yuanhang." Yuanhang replied.

"It turned out to be Ye Gongzi, to tell the truth, the old man was preparing to go to Luzhou. I heard that Ye Gongzi came from Luzhou, so I bothered to ask Gongzi about the situation in Luzhou. ”

"What is the old man doing in Luzhou? Xiao Ke advised, now that Luzhou has almost become an abandoned city, it is better not to go. Yuanhang shook his head and said.

"Oh, I heard that Ye Gongzi knows a lot, please advise, is there any way to save Luzhou?" The old man got up and poured a cup of tea for the voyage.

"Uncle, Luzhou is severely affected, and the people are struggling to make a living. One of them has no dwelling, and most of the dwellings have collapsed; second, there is no food, and the grain production is almost extinct; Third, there is no medicine, and it is difficult to treat the injured; Fourth, if there is no management, the plague is about to spread. Yuanhang took a sip of tea and continued: "If you want to rescue Luzhou, you must first evacuate the people from the city, and organize the young people to bury the corpses in time to prevent the plague. Distribute food and medicine to the victims. Only when the people are stable can they repair their houses and rebuild their homes. ”

The old man listened carefully to Yuanhang's words, and nodded in agreement.

Yuanhang suddenly remembered that the master was still waiting for news from him outside the hospital, and got up and said to the old man: "Xiao Ke's family is still outside, since there is no room here, I won't bother." ”

"Ye Gongzi, don't worry." After the old man stopped the voyage, he turned around and instructed the middle-aged man: "Go and prepare two upper rooms for Ye Gongzi." ”

"Master, this ......" the man showed a look of embarrassment.

"Needless to say, let's go down." The old man waved his hand.

"Yes." The man glanced at Yuanhang and stepped back.

The old man turned around and smiled at Yuanhang, then pointed to the stool and said, "Now Ye Gongzi can rest assured, please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, uncle." Yuanhang heard that he had given up his room and was not in a hurry, so he sat back again.

"Ask Gongzi again, how do you think of the current situation in the world of the Great Liang Kingdom?" The old man asked with a kind face.

As soon as the old man's words came out, Yuanhang immediately had doubts. He stood up and said, "Uncle, why do you have this question?" ”

"Haha, Childe doesn't have to worry. The old man just saw that the son was extraordinary, so he asked the son for advice in this way. Out of your mouth, into my ears. I also hope that the son will be outspoken. The old man said with a smile to Yuanhang.

"Don't dare, don't dare, uncle, please take a seat." Seeing the old man so gifted, Yuanhang hurriedly said modestly. "Xiao Ke is just a businessman, he can do business, but he doesn't dare to comment on the general trend of the world."

"It's okay, please ask Gongzi what he thinks of Xiao Liang Guo?" The old man didn't give up and asked again.

"It's just a clown." Yuanhang said calmly: "Liang Guoguo has been in power for more than a hundred years, and it can be said that the current saint is ascending the throne in order. The reason why Xiaoliang was allowed to exist was not because of brotherhood, but because at the beginning of the Holy Emperor's ascension to the throne, he must first rule inside and then outside. Within three years, the Liang State will be unified. ”

The old man frowned and continued to ask, "Then how do you think the Holy One should govern the interior?" ”

"Eliminate dissidents and make good use of talents. Re-establish the chapter and relocate the new capital. Yuanhang said sixteen words indifferently.

The old man thought quietly about the words of the voyage, thought for a while and asked, "I would like to hear the details, please let the son know." ”

"Soon after the Holy Lord ascended the throne, it is inevitable that there will be dissidents around him, and there must be many people who are loyal to several princes. It is not easy to find out and get rid of them, so we should use talents and cultivate our own new forces. Then pay attention to regulations and strengthen the system. Add more measures that are beneficial to the people. Finally, if the capital is to be moved, the capital should be moved to Jingzhou. Now Jingzhou is located in the center of the Great Liang Kingdom, so that all the parts of the country can be transmitted to the capital in the shortest possible time. In this Luzhou earthquake, it will take more than 10 days from Luzhou to Houtangfu without stopping, so won't it delay the timing? The most important thing is that the capital is too close to Xiaoliang State, and the capital should be the center of the country, but now it has become a border city to defend the country. Once Xiao Liang is in trouble, the saint and the important ministers of the court will be in danger. ”

Yuanhang said what was in his heart in one breath, felt his mouth dry, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

After listening to Yuanhang's words, the old man got up and hugged his fists and said: "Listening to Gongzi's words today, the old man's mouth was suddenly opened, as if he saw the sun through the clouds, Gongzi is so talented, why don't you join the court and contribute to the country?" ”

"Don't dare, Xiaoke has no ambitions, and he has no talent to govern the world. Today, I just met the old man and said casually, don't blame. Yuanhang bowed and continued: "Xiao Ke thanks the old man for allowing me to stay here, I don't dare to disturb the old man, Xiao Ke will retire first." ”

"Childe and slow." The old man stopped the voyage and asked, "I don't know where the son wants to go?" ”

"I'm going to Jingzhou City, and I want to settle down in Jingzhou." Yuanhang had no final plan, so he had to go to Jingzhou first and then map the way back.

"Oh, Ye Gongzi went to Jingzhou, there must be no place to stay, right?" The old man pondered for a moment and asked.

"Exactly, I had to go to Jingzhou to make plans again." Yuanhang replied.

After hearing this, the old man took out a waist card from his waist and handed it to Yuanhangdao: "Lord Yan, the prefect of Jingzhou, has some friendship with the old man, and the son can go to him if he is in trouble, and Lord Yan will definitely help you when he sees this waist card." ”

Yuanhang looked at the lower waist card, which was engraved with the words 'right man', I don't know what it means.

"How does this work?" The voyage will have to hand the waist card back. The old man stretched out his hand to block and said: "Childe doesn't have to be polite, you take this waist card first, and I will return to Jingzhou in the coming day to find Gongzi to get it back." ”

"Since it's so small, thank you in advance, and see you in Jingzhou in Japan, and you must return it." After the voyage finished speaking, Shi Li retreated.

The middle-aged man was standing outside the door, and was very surprised to see Yuanhang go out with the waist card, and hurriedly entered the house and said to the old man: "My lord, how can you give the waist card to this person?" If so......"

"It's okay, you tell the Dark Spirits to keep an eye on this man until we come back from our business." The old man looked up at the window and said to himself, "This son is really a rare material, and he is the person I am looking for." ”

"Yes, don't worry, the little ones will be ordered." The man bowed and stepped back.

Sailing back to Tang Yuanwai to take care of the matter, he divided the two rooms into one room for Tang Yuanwai and the old housekeeper, and one room for Wanyue and Qinghe. He took the convoy to rest outside the hospital. Lying in the car, Yuanhang took out the waist card and looked at it carefully, the waist card was extremely finely carved, it seemed to be made of high-quality nan wood, and it was dyed black. On both sides is a sword pattern, with a larger right character in the middle and a smaller character on the lower right. On the top of the back is a sword cross pattern, and below is a unicorn carved with a unicorn. What is this? Yuanhang thought about it and put the waist card into his arms. Maybe you can't use it, so keep it first, at least it looks more exquisite.

In the early morning of the next day, after washing up, he was about to say goodbye to the old man, but was told by the man that the old man had already left. Yuanhang had no choice but to organize the convoy and set off for Jingzhou City. When the carriage left, Yuanhang did not find it, and four men dressed in ordinary clothes appeared behind the convoy and glanced at each other, and then followed the carriage and left the inn without hurry.

After another day of walking, until it was nearly dusk, Yuanhang heard that there were more than ten miles to Jingzhou City, so he did not continue to move forward.

"Master, there is Jingzhou City ahead. At this time, I am afraid that we will not be able to enter the city today, so it is better to rest for the night, and we will enter the city again tomorrow during the day. Yuanhang asked Tang Yuanwai's opinion.

"It's okay, after all, there are a lot of us, and if we don't have a place to stay, it will inevitably be chaotic to enter the city, so you can call the shots." Tang Yuanwai has been extremely assured of Yuanhang's ability to handle things along the way.

Yuanhang instructed everyone to make a fire to cook, nourish their spirits, and prepare to enter Jingzhou City tomorrow.
