Wei Zheng returned to Chang'an last year, as one of the prime ministers, it was not easy for Wei Zheng to be able to investigate in Wuyuan for five days, and in a snowy day, Wei Zheng still stepped on the back of a horse heading south.
However, the opinion of the eldest grandson was completely conveyed to the center.
"You mean to set up a state and county in Wuyuan?" Wei Zheng asked at the time.
"Yes." The eldest grandson did not hesitate at all.
"Why is that?" Wei Zheng asked. At this time, Wuyuan is definitely a good time to make political achievements, and even the bigwigs in the center are a little reluctant because of the previous pit chief Sun Tang, looking at this endless stream of good news letters, and even sent themselves to make preparations. If what the eldest grandson said is true, then he will definitely be rewarded, and if something goes wrong, he will find a way to make up for it.
Changsun Tang's prediction in Jinyang finally became a reality. But Wei Zheng is a little embarrassed, if he is here to mend the pot for you this time, it will be a happy scene. But now......
Wei Zheng stroked his forehead, and he could clearly remember the helpless feeling when Fang Xiang was about to leave to explain the matter.
"What do I want to do with so much credit now? Promoted or rich, wondering if I should be a duke? "The eldest grandson saw it very clearly.
"This ......" Wei Zheng was stunned, but the words of the eldest grandson were true.
At the age of seventeen, the title is already the founding county, which is higher than the title of some of the six Shangshu, and the official rank is already five grades, and the ability to accumulate wealth makes Wei Zheng even more headache.
Of course, what made Wei Zheng even more troublesome was the open-mindedness and wisdom of Changsun Tang, no one wanted to deal with someone smarter than himself.
"I don't know the true face of Lushan, I was born in this mountain." The eldest grandson used Li Bai's couplet of poems to answer Wei Zheng's doubts appropriately. I can see through it because I don't care.
"It's still a virtuous nephew......" Wei Zheng is ready to praise the open-mindedness of the eldest grandson, there is no other means, I can say something good, I can wear it, and I don't wear it. But before I could say that, I realized that something was wrong, where did this poem come from?
"Where did this poem come from?" Wei Zheng asked.
"Adults drink tea and drink tea." The eldest grandson hurriedly hit haha.
The documents of the imperial court finally arrived when the snow melted.
Set up Fengzhou, govern Wuyuan, Zhang Liang from the former governor of the three states of Fengxia to the governor of the four states of Fengxia and Feng, the government moved to live in Wuyuan, and the Shuofang army Su Dingfang moved to the Yinshan Pass in the north of Wuyuan City.
The Ministry of Industry Tuntian Langzhong Mansion was still retained, and it was transferred to manage the local reclamation affairs.
The eldest grandson was sealed with 500 households, and he did not hold the position of Tuntian Langzhong, and returned to Chang'an City for another appointment.
The will was given, and at the same time, Fang Xuanling's private message also arrived, and the eldest grandson Tang made a great contribution this time, and he could have a three-month vacation.
Since he had a three-month vacation, Changsun Tang was in no hurry to return to that place in Chang'an.
Everyone has a grassland dream in their hearts, and since they are here, why not go to the broader grassland in the north of Yinshan to have a look.
Changsun Tang is planning to take a trip this time.
The six people of the eldest grandson and his party changed into the clothes of a merchant, but this Wang girl didn't look like it.
Wang Xuance did not come, as the long history of Tuntian Langzhongfu, he still has to wait for the arrival of the new Tuntian Langzhong and Changshi, and his grade will undoubtedly be improved by one level, maybe he will go to a certain county in the Central Plains to make a county order.
This is also the idea given by the princes of the DPRK and the Central Committee after they really couldn't think of any other way.
At the time of departure, the river was already green, and the wheat seedlings and various wild grasses were already showing their vitality. The poplars and red willows planted on the roadside last year have also sprouted yellow-green shoots.
At noon, the group happened to walk to a small village not far north of Wuyuan.
This village is basically used for the production of each family, that is, the harvest of sowing, hoeing, and harvesting, and at other times only a few people are left to take care of it, so as not to be destroyed by livestock, and they basically live in the city at ordinary times.
There is a reason for the eldest grandson's arrangement.
If the nomads of the north were to exist in the form of a state, then such an arrangement would be very risky, because the state apparatus is not time-bound. And if it exists in the form of a tribe, it is traceable, spring is the hope of the grassland, summer and autumn are also worry-free, only when it is too difficult to survive a serious disaster, will put down the horse pole and pick up the bow and arrow to plunder towards the warm south.
Retracting these thoughts, several people entered the courtyard of a farmhouse.
The old hen was clucking and lying on the grass nest, and the yellow dog barked lazily.
The peasant woman who thought she had her head wrapped in came out and looked very enthusiastic when she saw the person coming.
"A few of you are going to Shanbei to make a fortune." It seems that there has been a lot of such insight.
"Well, we have some tea here, let's go and see if there are any valuable goods in Shanbei last winter." The nomads did not recognize money, and for them the hard currency was iron, tea, and salt.
"It's not a good time for a few people to go now, but this Shanbei has always had rules that don't hurt businessmen, so I'm not afraid." The peasant woman's insight is not extraordinary.
"Oh, it's the first time we've been here, and we've heard that there's a garrison to the north, and we're not far from it." The eldest grandson said with a smile.
"Wait a minute, this meal will be ready soon." So saying, the peasant woman went out.
After a while, he walked in with a few eggs.
"A few guest officers are so good, the most delicious thing on this grassland is this shallot egg, the shallot unearthed in the past few days is not deep, and it is the most tender." After speaking, without waiting for a few people to answer, he entered the back room.
A few people looked at the furnishings, it was completely a small restaurant, and it was good luck for the accidental entry.
A short time later, a large plate of golden scallion eggs and several large bowls of somen noodles were served.
A few people were quite satisfied.
This rich and noble family has the way of life of a rich and noble family, but the little people also have a way to make their small life prosperous.
Some people say that the other side of the mountain is still a mountain, so the other side of the grassland is still a grassland.
After two days of driving, several people rushed from Wuyuan to the pass of Yinshan Mountain and Wolf Mountain, and Su Dingfang's garrison was also here, but Su Dingfang was not in this military camp at this time.
The group followed the path of the merchant to the north, and the valley was almost watery, and the mountain nests were generally filled with low trees on one side, bare on the other, and rocks eroded by the bitter wind.
The more you walk, the colder it gets, and some of the backlit shady sides actually have snow.
After two days of walking through the mountains, the six of them were able to get out.
If the scene of the river is desolate, it gives the impression that it is even more desolate.
The eldest grandson had a slight understanding that the grassland had never been the notification area of the Central Plains Dynasty.
In ancient times, when transportation was inconvenient, no matter how abundant resources were, there was no enough grain and grass to maintain the existence of an army for a long time.
And without the presence of the army, it is not safe here, and it is impossible to become a familiar land.
In addition, the harsh conditions of this place made the agricultural civilization stop at the south of the Helan Mountain, Wolf Mountain, Yin Mountain, and Daqing Mountain.
If the spring breeze does not pass the Yumen Pass, and there are icebergs and snowmelt outside the Yumen Pass, this is the real desolation.
At the time of departure, the wheat seedlings in the Eilechuan River were already about three inches old, and the flowers were already in full bloom.
But the place in the north of the mountain is a withered yellow.
We are waiting for the spring breeze to come, but when will the spring breeze return?
The desolate scene did not give people a feeling of oppression.
When you stand on this land with your feet on the ground, you will understand.
The sky is so blue, and the clouds on the horizon are so white, giving people a feeling that is pleasing to the eye.
Riding on this boundless grassland, the six of them were originally a little depressed, but their mood improved.
"Brother Eldest Sun, I'm here." The girl Wang, wrapped in a white fur, shouted loudly, and only in places that made people feel open-minded did she try to shout boldly.
"I'm coming." The eldest grandson, who was originally a little distracted, was immediately activated and rushed towards the girl Wang on the mountainside.
However, he underestimated the distance on the grassland, looking at the mountains from a distance and the rivers up close.
The eldest grandson's mount was humming and spewing white gas, so that it could be regarded as barely approaching Miss Wang's mount.
"Brother eldest grandson, look at this blue sky." It's nonsense again, but Changsun Tang likes it.
"Yes, the blue one is like ......" Changsun Tang couldn't find a suitable word to describe it, so he could only give up in vain.
Seeing that the eldest grandson was a little deflated, Miss Wang laughed again.
The two of them sat on the top of the mountain, and at this time the sun had set in the west, and in this way the distance between the two was getting closer and closer......
When there was a hint of fish belly white on the edge of the sky, and there was only a pile of ashes left in the bonfire last night, the eldest grandson got out of his sleeping bag.
Facing the rising star and the rising sun, the daily workout began......
After a while, the small group of six people was busy on their own.
The guide opened the purchased map and communicated with Wang Tie timidly.
Ge Feng clutched his stomach and shouted that he was hungry, and Ge Long was preparing to repair Ge Feng.
Miss Wang is a little in vain, there is no extra water here to wash her face, this is really a big trouble.
The fire was lit again, and several people ate fried noodles and beef jerky with boiling water, and the day's breakfast passed like this.
Miss Wang didn't complain at all, she just took out a small spoon and ate it in small bites, seeing that everyone seemed to have eaten almost, she no longer paid attention to the image, and waved the spoon three times and divided five by two to solve the fried noodles in front of her, as for the beef jerky, you can eat it as a snack right away.
The eldest grandson was very disappointed, the six of them wandered in this grassland for three days, not to mention a single human hair, not even a single wool was found, which deepened his impression of the desolation of the grassland in the north of the mountain.
A few people could only return empty-handed, even though that was what they were for. (To be continued.) )
