Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Beginning of the Peaceful Chaos I

readx;?? Shiping is located in the west of Chang'an, the capital of Qin, only more than 100 miles away from Chang'an, the reason why Yunmeng chose Shiping as the first stop to implement the new policy, is precisely because of the special of Shiping, and this special is that Shiping County settled many Qin nobles, Haoqiang, and many of these families are nobles who returned from Fangtou, their ancestors have participated in the Fangtou Mutiny of Taizu, it can be said that almost all of them are meritorious ministers to the establishment of Great Qin. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info__8w·w·w-.- and it is precisely because of only one point that some of these families rely on their family identity to see no king's law, rampant and domineering, Shiping law and order is a mess, the people are miserable, due to the intertwined relationship, and the court has not much to do with these families, and the local government can only turn a blind eye. Even the tyrant Fu Chang frowned when he heard the word Shiping. So when Fu Jiang heard Yun Meng say that he wanted to go to Shiping, he would be so surprised, because this place is indeed too tricky.

Early one morning, a carriage left the capital Chang'an, heading west, the carriage galloped on the official road, constantly startling the birds in the dense forest on both sides of the road, and Yun Meng swayed left and right with the bumps of the carriage. Yun Meng gently lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage, at this time the carriage had turned a fork in the road, at a glance green, a hundred miles of plains in full view, blowing in the face of a warm breeze mixed with the smell of soil and vegetation, and then looking far away, a city loomed in the mist. In this situation, Yun Meng couldn't help frowning slightly, his eyes staring straight into the distance, full of complicated feelings. __8w w·w-.- In fact, this trip to Shiping Yunmeng is also bottomless, he knows that Shiping must be a hard bone to gnaw, maybe he will face a fundamentally different situation from the imagination, whether he can win Shiping, is related to whether the new deal can be implemented smoothly, and also related to whether he can gain a firm foothold in Daqin, so this battle Yunmeng can only win, not lose. Between his thoughts, Yun Meng's eyes seemed to have Yin Yuan's smile, his situation at this time was too similar to the scene when Brother Yin Yangzhou went to work, thinking of Yin Yuan. Yun Meng seemed to have regained his confidence, and slowly flashed a determined gaze.

Fu Jiang finally agreed, and ordered Yun Meng to be the Zhongshu Shilang and concurrently serve as the Shiping Order. He was worried that Yun Meng would be in danger when he went, so he was ready to arrange for Lu Guang to accompany him, so that he could take care of him. Because Lu Guang had other things to deal with at hand, he agreed with Yun Meng to let Yun Meng go first. After he settled down, he rode a fast horse to chase Yun Meng.

The journey of more than 100 miles was not far, and it took less than two hours to reach the outskirts of Shiping City. Under the sun's rays, the mist had already lifted. The county seat of Shiping is not big, the city wall is not high, it seems that it has not been reinforced for many years, many places are mottled and convex, and even some wall tiles have been peeled off, and even the city gate tower has grown tall artemisia grass. Looking at the gate of the city again, there was not a single soldier guarding the city. >8_>>w-ww. Pedestrians, vehicles, and livestock were allowed to enter and exit freely, but a few spears were placed crookedly in the corners, and it seemed that the soldiers defending the city did not know where to go. Yun Meng did not enter the city directly, but got out of the car and sat down in a tea shed by the city gate. The tea shed is not big, there are only three or five tables, and there are not many people, the tea shed is opened by a middle-aged man in his thirties. said: "The guest officer drinks tea? Yun Meng nodded, and the middle-aged man found a clean tea bowl, poured warm tea for Yun Meng, and said, "Please use it." The weather is abnormal these days, unusually hot, and you can drink some warm tea to quench your thirst. ”

Yun Meng thanked him, took a few sips of water from the bowl, and then gently placed the bowl on the table. asked: "This eldest brother, the younger brother is from a foreign country, and when he first came here, he always had some curiosity, I wonder if I can ask you about it, eldest brother?" ”

The man smiled innocently, poured another bowl of water for Yun Meng, and then sat down as well, and said, "This guest officer, seeing that you talk well and look dignified, I guess you must be a scholar." I also heard that your accent is not like the people in this vicinity, and it is not strange to be a little curious about this place, not to say big words, the small ones have opened tea sheds here for some years, and they still know some things in Shiping County, but I don't know what the son wants to ask? ”

Yun Meng smiled slightly and asked, "This Shiping City is not far from Chang'an, but why is it such a depressed scene, and why does the city wall seem to have not been repaired for many years." I heard that there are many princes and nobles living in this Shiping City, and it stands to reason that it should be extremely prosperous. ”

"Hey! Childe wants to ask this! The man said, leaned over to Yun Meng's side, and said in a low voice: "Don't mention any princes and nobles, it is because these people came to Shiping that a county town that was originally good was ruined like this." ”

"Huh? Why is that? Yun Meng asked again, the man looked left and right and saw that there was no one, and said in a low voice: "Shiping was originally a small county town, although it is small, but it is also a peaceful wife, don't we little people just want this?" If you want to blame Shiping for being too close to Chang'an, those big men in Beijing also have a large group of relatives and family members who need to be settled, and the capital can't stay, so Shiping has become their back house. In fact, this is nothing, if these people can bring some good things to the people of Shiping, bring some prosperity instead of better, but who would have thought that these old men are like a group of hungry wolves, constantly exploiting and blackmailing the people of Shiping, running rampant everywhere, bullying men and women, it is simply all evil, people with some skills in the city can run as far as they can, and the rest of the ordinary people can only be cautious and live like years. You see, my tea shed can't earn a few copper plates a day now, and I can't support it! Maybe one day I'll be able to flee to a foreign land. Ay! The more the man spoke, the more sad he became.

"This is simply '**', doesn't the local government of Shiping take care of it?" Yun Meng asked with a little anger,

"Where do you dare to care, a few county orders have also come forward to reconcile, and even wrote to the court, but what is the result, those masters have either been demoted or transferred, and now Shiping has not had parents for more than a year. Even the officials in the yamen couldn't find anyone. The man explained.

"No wonder there is not even a soldier guarding the gate at the gate of this city, it turns out that the Shiping County Ya has already become a plate of loose sand, do they just take the salary of the court in vain and don't do anything?" Yun Meng muttered to himself, but because of his anger, he spoke a little louder.

"The guest officer is quiet, quiet." The man hurriedly persuaded Yun Meng, pointed to the back of the tea shed, and whispered: "Those two are resting in the back, the guest officer must speak lightly, don't provoke them." ”

Yun Meng stood up immediately when he heard this sentence and said: "It's good, under the bright and clear world, as a member of the Yamen, he left his post without permission, so bold." Today, Yun happened to take these two minions first. (To be continued.) )
