Changsha City Gaochijian, although not as magnificent as Xiangyang City, is also the first important town in Jingnan.

As soon as the day dawned, outside the moat gathered a lot of business travelers from the south to the north, Pang Shanmin and his entourage had a huge convoy, the business travelers and the people outside the city gate consciously made way for them, the family of this year, will always make people fearful, although the Xiangyang Pang family has never bullied people, Pang Shanmin does not mind letting the people go first, but he also knows that even if he gets off the car and the people are polite, the people may not be gullible to him.

Pang Shanmin did not send someone to inform Han Xuan of this trip to Changsha before, Pang Shanmin thought that this time when he entered the city, it was better to take a look at Han Xuan's means of governing Changsha, if Han Xuan was a capable official, he could leave it behind when Liu Qi was in charge of Changsha and use it for other purposes.

A piercing sound of iron rope friction came from afar, the heavy drawbridge was lowered in front of the city gate, and the merchant people outside the moat turned their heads to each other, and there was a noise, and several soldiers poured out of the city gate, shouting and shouting to the crowd outside the city gate: "If you want to enter the city, according to the head, five big money per person!" ”

And the word "city gate tax"?

Pang Shanmin was stunned for a moment, retracted his body leaning out of the car window, and said to Diao Chan: "Xuzhou also had this tax before?" ”

Diao Chan shook her head, but Ling'er sneered: "In the past, Mr. Gongtai once said that the city tax was done by cool officials, if the government is politically clear, how can officials be embarrassed by the people in these small matters?" ”

I'm afraid Han Xuan would never have imagined that Ling'er's careless words would determine his future fate.

"Cool Officer......"

Pang Shanmin nodded thoughtfully, no longer spoken, and after the entourage paid the city gate tax to the big soldiers at the city gate, the car drove into the city, and there was a different scene in Changsha City, the teahouses and wine shops were lined up one after another, compared to the desolation outside the city, but it was much more prosperous.

After entering the city, Pang Shanmin got out of the car and ordered his family to find a quiet inn. Ling'er also jumped out of the carriage, leaned over to Pang Shanmin's side, and shouted, "I'm walking with my little uncle!" ”

"It's okay, I'm just afraid that your second mother will be lonely in the car."

"Erniang is preparing to record the "Romance of the Gods" you talked about along the way, and she won't have nothing to do." After Ling'er Jiao finished speaking with a smile, Pang Shanmin had to nod.

Pang Tong and others also got out of the car, read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, it was originally a way of learning respected by students in this era, although Changsha is not as prosperous as Xiangyang and Jiangling, but in Jingnan, a sparsely populated place, it is also quite large-scale.

"It seems that Changsha is not bad, if we wait for a few years, it should be comparable to Xiangyang." Shi Tao commented unceremoniously.

"It's just that there are many people in the city, but there are no barbarians. Meng Jian frowned, and said thoughtfully: "When the master of Kuai was in the academy before, he said that the people of Shanyue are not good at farming, and they don't even have ordinary iron tools in the clan, so when they are stable, they will trade with the Han people in Jingnan. ”

"Maybe it's the good ...... of Han Xuan's governance" Cui Jun's voice just fell, but Pang Tong said: "I can't look at the barbarians, it doesn't mean that Han Xuan has the ability to defend the border, and Changsha is far away from Shanyue compared to the other three counties, maybe it's just that the people of Shanyue don't come to Changsha because they think the road is far away." ”

After Pang Tong finished speaking, several people nodded yes, but Pang Shanmin did not comment.

From the words of these people, Pang Shanmin can clearly realize that these classmates and friends still maintain a contemptuous attitude towards Shanyue, under the influence of the Han Dynasty for more than 400 years, the minority in the eyes of the Han people, just uncivilized savages, uneducated, and unfamiliar with etiquette, and how can these friends know that after the Three Kingdoms, the five chaos in China, the Han people were slaughtered, and the general trend of ethnic integration was completely dyed by blood......

"National integration is also the trend of the times, if the means can be more peaceful......" Pang Shanmin muttered to himself, a few people around him have not come back to their senses, Pang Shanmin slapped his palms violently, and said to a few people: "Let's inquire around, what is the situation in Changsha now, at noon, go to the inn to meet, after discussion, and then go to pay New Year's greetings to the Taishou Lord is." ”

"It's okay, just look at the prosperity of Changsha." Cui Jun obviously had a good impression of Changsha City, nodded and smiled.

"Looking at the sky in the tube, but not seeing the whole picture, prosperity is not just a lip service, you can count it." Pang Tong shook his head and walked towards Dongshi by himself, Cui Jun looked at Pang Tong's departing figure, and said to a few people around him: "This guy must have seen something, otherwise his mouth wouldn't be so unforgiving, isn't this Changsha city really not as I imagined?" ”

Pang Shanmin was helpless against Pang Tong's violent temper, fortunately, these friends had long been used to it, looking at Cui Jun's somewhat sneering appearance, Pang Shanmin smiled bitterly: "Don't bother with him, if what I expected is good, Shi Yuan must have seen some abnormalities, I don't know if a few people have found it, after we entered the city, we didn't even see the shadow of a homeless person, presumably even under the rule of Xiangyang, it can't make the homeless people banned." ”

"Doesn't that mean that Han Xuan has a good way of governance?" Cui Jun was stunned for a moment, blurted out, and then suddenly realized: "Brother means, Han Taishou hid or drove away the homeless?" ”

"It's just one of them."

Pang Shanmin sighed and said: "Whether a city is prosperous or not is not something that can be counted by looking at these pavilions and pavilions at the gate of the city, the prices in the city, the dissatisfaction of the people with their lives, and whether the widows and loneliness have been taken care of are all standards for measuring the prosperity of the city......

Seeing a few people thoughtfully, Pang Shanmin said again: "The people come and go, there are many dishes, and life is obviously not comfortable. ”

"......I see," Cui Jun said with a look of shame, "It turns out that Han Xuan is really not a thing." ”

"Therefore, the ancients often said, 'It is better to read 10,000 books than to travel 10,000 miles', when we first came to Jingnan, only by putting ourselves in the shoes of the local people can we be qualified to make speeches, otherwise we will be the same ......."

After Pang Shanmin finished speaking, he patted Cui Jun's shoulder with a smile and said to Cui Jun: "This can't completely blame Yuan Ping for being sloppy, I can only say that Han Taishou's face project is really good." ”

"It's really a face-saving project!" Listening to what Pang Shanmin said was interesting, Cui Jun smiled bitterly: "My brother knows that he is wrong, and my brother doesn't need to be comforted, I will also go to Dongshi!" I blamed Shi Yuan just now, and I must apologize to him. ”

"Shi Yuan has that stinky temper, don't take it to heart...... Pang Shanmin shook his head and said: "If Yuan Ping is willing, this time it is better to walk with his brother, I don't know what Yuan Ping wants?" ”
