"What is the tuntian system?" Wang Baoyu asked puzzled.

"In the tuntian system, from local officials to merchants and soldiers, they must participate in farming, raise soldiers with soldiers, and do not increase taxes for the people." Pang Tong explained.

"Hehe, that's this little thing! Yiling City has long implemented this. Wang Baoyu said with a smile.

"It seems simple, but in fact it is not easy to implement, and local officials have many connections with the above, and there are often acts of favoritism." Pang Tong said.

"You go to Ma Liang and say that I arranged it, and the whole county of Yiling implements this system. If there are disobedient officials, they will be dismissed. Wang Baoyu said firmly.

"Pang Tong has been busy for half his life, and he will finally become the master." Pang said excitedly.

While he was talking, he had already entered Qingping County, Pang Tong hurriedly found a medical hall to diagnose and treat the old farmer, but the results of the doctor's diagnosis and treatment were ridiculous, saying that the old farmer was hungry and weak.

"Alas, the people are so mixed that they can't even eat, and the local officials really deserve to be killed." Wang Baoyu sighed.

"If they are all killed, there will be no one to govern, and the rule of law will come first." Pang Tong did not agree with Wang Baoyu's statement, and left a tael of silver for the old farmer, and the four of them found a post house to eat.

In a certain way, Wang Baoyu doesn't know much about Pang Tong, but he feels that Pang Tong is indeed a good comrade who is capable and kind, and he should be supported more.

So, during the drinking, Wang Baoyu still left Pang Tong ten taels of gold, so that he could support those people in need. Huoya was so distressed that she almost fainted, just now Pang Tong casually gave the old farmer a tael of silver, which was enough for his expenses for a month, and Wang Baoyu's ten taels of gold arrived in his hand, and it would not take long to lose it. But Huoya still didn't dare to squeak in the end, knowing that what she said was in vain, and she had to be scolded.

At the same time, Wang Baoyu also left a letter to Ma Liang, adding Pang Tong to the post of deputy taishou, in charge of the overall work of the subordinate counties, and having the power of life and death over these county officials.

Pang Tong was extremely grateful, tears flashed in his little eyes, he was already ugly, and he was tired from work and running around, his complexion was ugly, Wang Baoyu couldn't bear it in the end, and said: "Old Pang, if you believe me, don't leave Yiling." ”

Pang Tong raised his head in surprise, Wang Baoyu didn't explain, and continued: "If you have to leave one day, if you pass through a place called Luofengpo, you must protect yourself with iron armor, so that it is possible to protect yourself." ”

Pang Tong's tears fell, he nodded heavily, kept this sentence in his heart, bent down and was about to kneel, but was held by Wang Baoyu: "Lao Pang, that's all I can do, I hope you can do it yourself." ”

Pang Tong said that he would definitely wait for Wang Baoyu to come back, he didn't expect to govern the world, and if he could govern one side well, it would not be in vain to live a lifetime.

After being full of wine and food, Wang Baoyu did not go to the county office, so he said goodbye to Pang Tong, and together with Fan Jinqiang and Huoya, he left Qingping County and continued to go towards the Hanjiang River ferry.

Coming to the ferry, Wang Baoyu stopped Xiao Tianma, and couldn't help but look back, a qiē had already gone away, and after crossing the Han River, he would enter Cao Cao's territory. The road ahead is boundless, and whether or not you can return to Jingzhou again can only depend on the arrangement of fate.

After a short rest, Wang Baoyu and others found a ferryboat, it was getting late, Wang Baoyu agreed with the boatman, spent the night on the boat, and finally arrived at the north bank of the Han River early the next morning.

Wang Baoyu had actually thought about the question of how to go north for a long time, and it was definitely best to go north directly along the main road, but he had to pass through a large number of cities managed by Cao Cao, and with his strange accent, it would inevitably not arouse the suspicion of others.

Although holding the pass token in his hand, Wang Baoyu still felt that it was not safe enough, in short, it was best to avoid the big city, for the sake of safety, take the folk road, pass through a part of Yuzhou, and then pass through Yangzhou, Benqingzhou, and then go to Youzhou, and it is about to approach Shanhaiguan.

After thinking about this, Wang Baoyu arranged for Fan Jinqiang to buy some food and water along the road, and try to walk the path, which is naturally a very hard meal.

Huoya can follow out to see the scene, and often accompany Wang Baoyu, there is no need to worry about other women winning favor, at first it was quite happy, but after walking for a week, I felt miserable, and there was no smile on my little face.

First of all, her buttocks and waist were almost torn apart on horseback, and there were mosquitoes all the way that bit her whole bag, scratching in many places, and the blood dried up and then stuck to her clothes, itching unbearably.

Especially at night, Huoya can't sleep well, after all, the bones are not as hard as stones, and she will wake up when she turns over, so her body, which is easy to gain weight, begins to become black and thin again, even darker and thinner than before.

"Huoya, if you regret it, it's too late to go back now." Wang Baoyu said with a smile, lying in the tent with his arms on his pillow, biting a straw stick in his mouth, leisurely, he didn't care about these hardships at all, and when he went home, no matter how hard he was, he was full of good hopes.

"Even if I die with you, I will never go back." Huoya said stubbornly, falling from the horse several times, and the two sets of clothes she brought with her became dirty and worn.

"By the way, you really don't have any family?" Wang Baoyu was idle, and asked curiously.

"That kind of family, although there is nothing." Huoya sighed.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Wang Baoyu was idle and had nothing to inquire.

Huoya said that her parents were ordinary farmers, and she was actually from Yuzhou. There was a famine that year, her parents fled with her, and her mother gave birth to a younger brother on the road, and my father was very happy, but a new problem came again, that is, I couldn't eat in the first place, and I added a mouth, how to feed it?

Patriarchal thinking is the root of all evil, and my father sighed a few words, and my mother cried a few times, and then unanimously decided to throw the fire, and she was only five years old at the time.

The lonely fire girl went around begging for food, and the people themselves couldn't eat enough at that time, so how could they have surplus food to give her food? Little Fire Girl often can't get food, but she can't reach a few dead leaves on a tree, and she can't dig up grass roots in the hard soil, so she can only touch what to eat, and even include an edible soil.

Although this kind of soil can be eaten, but it must not be eaten too much, the fire girl is hungry and anxious, and desperately stuffs it into her mouth to eat, but the belly is round and shiny, and she can't pull out for more than ten days.

The poor girl had been lying on the side of the road for days with her belly like a frog, and when she saw her deceased grandparents come to pick her up, she tilted her head and knew nothing.

When Huoya opened her eyes again, she found that she had not come to heaven, but there was a young man in front of her who was more handsome than an angel, and that was Zhuge Liang.

The kind-hearted Zhuge Liang took her in, kept her with him all the time, and personally asked her to read and write, etc. Therefore, Zhuge Liang is the great benefactor of Huoya.
