Li Zheng was dressed in regular clothes, leisurely, and finally walked into the hall slowly with Xun You, Jia Xu, Zhao Wu and Zhou Fei.

"Meet the Lord!"

Seeing Li Zheng come in, all the civil and military officers in the hall bowed down, looking at Li Zheng's gaze, either fanatical, or admiring, or grateful, or excited.

Li Zheng waved his hand with a smile and said, "You don't have to be polite!" ”

As he spoke, Li Zheng went to the main seat in the main hall and sat on the couch. Xun You, Jia Xu, Zhao Wu, and Zhou Fei each found a place to sit down. Xun You is at the head of the right, followed by Zhao Wu, below is Li Boran, Jia Xu is sitting on the left, and Zhou Fei is under Jia Xu.

"On an evil day, according to the practice of the imperial court, the Son of Heaven will give the spoon. However, we are lonely here, far away from Luoyang, and the Son of Heaven may not have time to take care of it."

At the beginning, there are naturally some scenes. After all, Li Zheng still bears the name of General Zhenxi, and he is the general of the imperial court, although what he has done has long exceeded the scope of his authority. But for a group of subordinates, they don't know the Son of Heaven who is thousands of miles away in Luoyang.

Their qiē was given by Li Zheng.

Without Li Zheng, most of the gentlemen here either did nothing, or simply died of war and hunger, where is the current scenery? !

So for Li Zheng, they revered and worshiped from the bottom of their hearts.

This banquet is not solemn and solemn, it is just a festival, so it seems very relaxed and natural. After the scene, the hall gradually became lively.

For example, the county lieutenant had accompanied Li Zheng to the battlefield, and when he was full of food and wine, he also joked with Li Zheng. There are also county orders to describe some difficulties encountered by Li Zheng in ordinary times, or to seek the deeper meaning of some of Li Zheng's practices, and so on.

During the banquet, Li Zheng only knew but didn't know before, but now he already knows in his heart, who is talented, who is strong, who is steady, and who is flexible.

This banquet strengthened the mutual understanding between the chief ministers, the cadres, etc., and this is the significance of it.

However, Li Zheng and the county lieutenant felt a little regretful that several generals in the army did not have this opportunity to attend the banquet. Whether it is Zhang Shan, White Wolf, or Nuro and Pang De, they must guard one side and can't get out.

And Zhou Lin is the busiest, business matters, especially now that he is stepping up efforts to open up the market, he will inevitably have to run around, and he has no time to go back to Lingzhou to attend the banquet.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, another month passed.

In June, the Mystery Shop refreshed all the useless goods, so I won't list them for the time being. By mid-June, several luxurious carriages, escorted by a troop of cavalry, passed through the wasteland of the central part of Northland County and entered the border of Pupyeong County.

"Ah Fu, where are we here?"

In the carriage at the head, a vicissitudes of life sounded.

"Master," replied the old servant who drove the carriage, "it should be almost in the territory of Fuping." ”

"Oh, to Fuping?" The old man said lightly: "Let's stop and rest first." ”

Since passing through Chang'an and entering Zuo Fengyi, the population has become sparse, especially in the central part of Beidi County, which is completely a wasteland. The unchanging scenery and the scorching summer weather make it easy to get tired.

The old servant shouted a few times, and the whole team found a nearby forest, looked for shade, and stopped.

The old servant lifted the curtain, and out of the carriage came a thin old man with a clear face. The old man's face was a little red, and there were slight sweat stains on his temples, but he was still neatly and rigorously dressed.

With the support of the old servant, the old man got out of the carriage, stood in the shade of the tree, and took a deep breath: "It's still too stuffy inside the carriage. ”

"Aber!"

A crisp voice like a yellow bird sounded from behind the old man, and a beautiful girl with a clear and fresh face, big and smart eyes, and a bit of heroism, jumped down from a carriage next to her, and walked to the old man's side with cheerful steps.

There are two blush on the girl's melon seed face, which makes her plain face even more beautiful and moving.

"Xiaoying" The old man looked at the girl dotingly, stroked his beard and smiled: "This is almost to Fuping, what do you think?" ”

"Hmph," the girl snorted, and snorted, "I heard that he is very powerful, and I should take a good look at him." ”

When the old man heard this, his face was slightly helpless: "I am the heirloom of Xun's poetry and books, and you are the most special!" ”

"Don't you like it?" The girl was coquettish to the old man and said, "Xiaoying is really sad. ”

The old man pinched her nose and shook his head with a smile.

After resting for a while and drinking some water, the team moved on.

Not long ago, the old man who was in the carriage closed his eyes and recuperated heard the bursts of surprise and exclamation coming from outside the carriage, and couldn't help but open his eyes and asked, "Ah Fu, what's the matter?" ”

"Master," the old servant who drove the car replied, "it should be a wide and smooth road into the territory of Fuping!" It's such a big wheat field, and you can't see the edge at a glance! ”

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but lift the curtain and leaned out halfway.

As far as the eye can see, a huge green wheat field is the first thing that catches your eye! In the summer breeze, the green wheat waves roll, as if in the middle of the sea. A fresh and natural scent of wheat sprouts with temperature fills the nose in an instant.

"Hey, this" The old man's eyes were full of surprise, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he said after a long time: "Gongda's vision is not bad." ”

Retracting his gaze, the old man found that the convoy had embarked on a wide avenue. The road is two feet wide and stretches deep into the wheat fields, as if there is no end.

"Good way!"

With a sigh, the old man retracted his upper body, his eyes were extremely deep.

"Ah Fu, how long has it been since I've seen this kind of scenery?" The old man was silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke, asking and answering himself: "Since Emperor Huan, this world is either a natural disaster or **, such a scene, the old man has not seen it for decades."

Because of natural disasters, it is the Central Plains, and there is no such scenery in front of you. The thriving endless wheat fields represent vitality, while the Central Plains is depressed and decadent, and the gap is clear at a glance.

The beautiful girl in the carriage behind had already stepped out of the carriage and stood on the wheels. She looked at the endless wheat field, and her big eyes were full of brilliance.

Whether it is a servant or a soldier, they all have an attitude of enjoyment towards the qiē in front of them. However, it did not go far, but a problem arose.

A three-way intersection appeared in front of the team.

The same wide avenue was at their feet on one side, and the other two branches, both of which stretched into the wheat field, and they did not know where to go.

The servants consulted for a while, chose a branch to the north, and continued to advance, but it was not far, and it was a fork in the road.

This stumps people.

In this endless wheat field, these roads are like a maze, and if you are not familiar with it, I am afraid it will be difficult to get out.

Luckily, they met the farmer.

The peasants were not afraid of rejection of this seemingly wealthy team, and enthusiastically pointed out the roads to Fuping County one by one, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not locals, right?" We are like this here, people who are not familiar with it, and we can't find the road yet, some time ago, I heard that the village elders have decided to propose to the Zhenxi General's Mansion to build yì, and set up street signs at various intersections, and when the street signs are set up, it will be convenient. ”

Thanks to the old farmer, the team moved on.

The old man in the carriage said to the old servant who was driving: "This Fuping person has a different spirit. Look at the old farmer just now, his face is ruddy and full of energy. ”

The old servant said yes again and again.

Compared with the so-called prosperous Central Plains, the people here are not only very different in spirit, especially in the face of their team, which they know at a glance that they are wealthy families, they are not rejected at all. You must know that in the Central Plains, ordinary people see the Hao team, just like a mouse sees a cat, and it is too late to dodge.

"It's just that this road is too difficult to walk," complained the old servant, "and if I hadn't met this old man, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to get out of this wheat field after dark." ”

"Haha," the old man in the car smiled, and said, "Didn't the farmer say just now?" The village elders have already proposed to their Zhenxi General's Mansion to build yì, and in the future, it won't be so troublesome. ”

The village elder, in the Han Dynasty, is a symbol of high morality in the township. In the official system of the Han Dynasty, the real lowest level was actually the county level. And the village elders, pavilion chiefs, etc., below, are actually mostly respected people recommended by the people.

However, in the current years, the election system of the village elders has almost been abolished. Due to the Han Dynasty's weaker and weaker control over the local area, for example, the managers at the level of village elders were basically controlled by the local tyrants, and they were no longer judged by virtue and prestige.

However, seeing the current situation, presumably under the rule of General Zhenxi, this good system is still implemented perfectly.

The more the old man thought about it, his face kept changing, and finally turned into a sigh.

Before dark, the team finally arrived in Fuping.

What they saw and heard along the way opened their eyes, and the Fuping County in front of them was even more surprising. The orderly order, the neat and clean environment, and the increasingly high spirits of the people in it all make this line of people dizzy.

"Sir, where shall we go now? Is it to rest for a night and go to Lingzhou tomorrow, or to go to the county office? The old servant asked.

"Let's go to the county office." In the carriage, the old man said: "This Fuping is extraordinary, the county order is extraordinary, and it is good to see it." ”

"Yes, sir."
