The next day, the fifth year of Zhongping, the fourth day of the fifth month of May, the weather was sunny and there was a light breeze.

Wen Chou and his entourage got up early to practice martial arts, and rode their horses towards Julu County. The final preparations for the first visit began. With excitement, Wen Chou rode his horse on the official road, eager to come to Tian Feng in the next step and see what this great strategist who was famous in later generations looked like?! Is it as rumored to be 'just committed', and whether it can help his own family create a supreme cause. How could he not be thrilled that all of this was going to be unveiled in the near future?!

Forty or fifty miles away, in a blink of an eye, forty or fifty healthy horses under the ride of Wen Chou and others, moving their sturdy limbs, not to mention a thousand miles a day, but a distance of three or four hundred miles a day can still be easily reached. However, in two or three hours, Wen Chou had already skipped Pingxiang County and went straight to Julu County.

At noon, Wen Chou and the others had already gone deep into the Julu realm, and they had been running non-stop for an hour, and they had already seen the considerable scale of Julu County from a distance. It is obviously much larger than Yang's County, even Pingjian County is not comparable, although it is not as majestic as the county and the state, but it is not necessarily too far behind.

At this point, Wen Chou waved his hand to make everyone stop, looked at it for a moment, and said: "Not far away is Julu County, which is also one of the primary destinations of our trip, but we should not attract the attention of the people in the county, that will hinder the purpose of our trip, so from now on, you will scatter and enter the county seat four or five people every one or two hours, so that you can hear clearly?!" ”

This remark is serious, and there is no need to explain it to his subordinates, but Wen Chou still explained it like this, which shows that Wen Chou attaches great importance to this matter. Wen Chou's attention, those soldiers who followed all the way naturally knew, and immediately replied in unison: "Hear clearly!" than not dishonoring the life of Wenjun! ”

Seeing this, Wen Chou took the lead in leading Wen Ba and three cavalry soldiers and rushed towards Julu County. In order not to be so conspicuous, Wen Chou had already asked the soldiers to put away their clothes and armor. It's the Yang family and Ren County, although they stopped for a while, but the news won't spread so quickly, after all, Wen Chou and they came quickly. I'm afraid it will take two or three days for the ordinary news to come.

Not long after, Wen Chou and his party came to the county seat of Julu, and saw that the county seat was very tall, almost more than four zhang, compared to the three zhang of Pingjiao County, but it was much higher, and the county guards on the female wall were patrolling back and forth in a solemn and orderly manner, which was quite a combat appearance. Even the guards at the gate of the city are much more than those in ordinary counties, but they are not very strict in searching the people.

It seems that this is the state that the county should be, not as lazy as Yang's County, and can quickly respond to emergencies and deal with them. But in ordinary times, he does not oppress Qianshou, which is what Wen Chou appreciates. From this, you can get a glimpse of this county, but the county is a talent.

Wen Chou and others pretended to be merchants, entered the city, walked between the streets, and saw the houses in the city, and the people came and went, showing the color of prosperity. Compared to Pingjian County, it is a step ahead, not to mention Yang's County. But it's still far from what Wen Chou thought in his heart, this is also the advantage that Wen Chou has crossed from later generations, after all, he is also well-informed!

Wen Chou first came to the most prosperous county and city in the county and found the most high-end inn as a temporary place to stay. There were a lot of people in the city, so naturally they could no longer ride horses in the city, so they could only hand over the horses to the merchants to guard, and they started the search for the county on foot.

Since it is a prosperous county, Wen Chou naturally has to take a good look at it, and it also has a lot of reference significance for it. By the way, you can also gather a lot of information.

The fastest place to get information is a wine shop that provides food and drink services to people. The wine shop, as a gathering place for people from three religions and nine streams, is also a hub for news circulation. After questioning the personnel, Wen Chou went straight to the corner south of the county and city, where was the liquor store with the largest flow of people in the county.

When Wen Chou came to the wine shop, he saw a large attic, and there was a big wine flag next to the tall façade, and the word wine shop was written on it, but it was also concise and tight. I think it's because the reputation of this place is very strong, and there is no need to advertise it at all.

Wen Chou and the others entered the wine store in the greeting of the shopkeeper, and the second child in the store immediately cleaned up a place for the five of them to sit down. I ordered dishes and drinks. Wen Chou looked around the wine shop and saw: There are more than a dozen tables in the big room, although it does not seem to be very crowded, but it is also quite lively, basically full of people, there are rangers with horizontal swords and vertical swords, there are also soldiers in robes and high crowns, there are also merchants with weathered faces, and ordinary people of Qian, and so on, it really lives up to its name.

There is a staircase leading to the upper floor in the middle, and according to Wen Chou's wishes, he wants to go to the second floor, but the shopkeeper said that the second floor is full, and he has no choice but to respond to the shopkeeper's arrangement and come to a corner to sit down. However, this position also has an advantage, that is, you can observe the every move of the entire liquor store, as long as Wen Chou is willing.

"Big brother, do you think that Mr. Yuan Hao is really that powerful? Is it better than saying that they are far better? Although Wen Chou emphasized the importance of Tian Feng many times, Wen Ba still had some doubts in his heart, after all, in his not very sound outlook on life, Wen Chou was ranked first, and his father Wen Lie did not necessarily have Wen Chou's important position in his heart. Moreover, Jiang Xuan, who used to exist as the think tank of the Taolin Army, Yan Liang is still second.

"Hehe, Ziyong, you are young after all, and you have seen very little, don't think that we can disperse and repel some thieves, and we can underestimate the heroes of the world, not to mention that we are weak, in this world, there are more courageous than the stars than the brothers, you have to remember it deeply." Wen Chou said earnestly.

Although the volume of Wen Chou's speech was not loud, it was like thunder in Wen Ba's ears. But he still didn't believe it in his heart: "I don't dare to say more about wisdom, but if you want to talk about bravery, big brother, you are small yourself!" If it is an ordinary situation, let alone you big brother, I can represent the highest combat power in our clan! ”

"As the difference is said, don't you see the Lin family forest festival in the township? We don't disdain the past, but his bravery is indeed far better than the current one! Within a township, we can't be the leader, how dare we call the heroes of the world! Wen Chou said solemnly.

"Yes"

Although Wen Chou said that he has a relationship with Wen Ba's education, this does not mean that he ignores the surrounding environment. Although you can get useful information in the first time, Wen Chou will not let go of any opportunity.

"I heard that the county gentleman is going to open a warehouse again to release food relief for the displaced people recently!"

"I've heard about it too, and it's said that as much as 20,000 koku of grain was released this time! It's enough to last more than a month in the porridge shed in the city!"

"More than a month? I'm afraid that even half a month may not be able to sustain it, haven't you heard that a large number of displaced people will be coming today? That's tens of thousands! ”

"Hey, now in this world, if you want to say that our county monarch is also virtuous and promising! In less than three years since he took office, the county has been restored to its current state. If there is no such thing as being displaced this time, I am afraid that it will not take a year to reproduce the glory of our county. ”

"That is, since these displaced people, according to the county king's thoughts, they will definitely consume a lot of the county's storage."

"Our county gentleman is too kind!"

This is a table of guests dressed as scholars, and their words show their respect for the county monarch and their worries about the future of the county. For Wen Chou, he also has the mind to see this wise and promising county gentleman. I thought that in the end, I didn't win Tian Feng's allegiance, and it was good to be able to get the cooperation of this county monarch.

"I heard that many wealthy families in the county have also started to help the homeless?! Is it true? A Confucian scholar dressed in a green cloth robe at the other table said.

"It's not true, I don't know, but some people who are not very big have begun to build porridge sheds outside the city!" Another black-robed figure at the table said firmly.

"Well, it's not a big family?"

"Yes, is it the family of more than a dozen scholars! They weren't always kind to the people! Even if you are attached to the family, you will never be too embarrassed! ”

"Oh, are you talking about Tian Jun and Wang Jun who live in the east of the city?"

"Exactly, although they are not very rich, they are revered, and I heard that the county magistrate is also very polite to them!"

When Wen Chou heard this, he was overjoyed: "Tian Jun, Tian Jun!" But Tian Feng? Although he was happy in his heart, he did not take the liberty to ask questions, but continued to listen.

"Yes, especially Mr. Yuan Hao, I heard that the reason why the county gentleman has been able to achieve so much in the past two or three years is because of Mr. Yuan Hao!" The man spoke with reverence.

"That is, who is Mr. Yuan Hao! That's an official in the court! Although I am at home now, it is inevitable that it will come again! Another admired and proudly said.

"Yes, it's a pity, Mr. Yuan Hao is too upright, otherwise he wouldn't be used to seeing eunuchs in the court! I think that today is also a high-ranking official with a thousand stones, more than two thousand stones! The other said with a little regret.

"Yes, yes! Ay. The other chimed in.

Hearing this, Wen Chou finally couldn't sit still, got up and came to the table of guests, and said: "I took the liberty to disturb him, and please see the sin, but I heard that the second gentleman said 'Mr. Yuan Hao', and I admired him very much, I don't know if the two of you are willing to tell me a thing or two about this gentleman?" ”

Wen Chou is a person, dressed in a green cloth robe, although he is not crowned, only wrapped in a scarf, but his words are also crepe, but it will not make people see his tall body, and think that he is a rough man. It makes people feel good.
