Chapter 18 The current situation of Julu

"It's not a secret, I have heard from the soldiers, you are sick in the south of the medical city, there are some minor problems, so you have come to bother them." Wen Chou spoke.

"It's a great honor for Wen Jun to come, what's the problem, but please speak, I will know everything in the future!" Doctor Tang said with a smile. Li Dangzhi also echoed and said: "Exactly, I heard that Wenjun governed the township and fought thieves and retreated, he is a person of great virtue, and he should be very respectful." Since Wen Chou has enough respect for him, then Li Dangzhi also returns with respect.

"Hehe, there is no him, it's just that when I first came to this county, I saw that many of the county's leaders were leaning against the wall and lying down, as if they were suffering from illness, and the contemptible people were afraid that this was an epidemic! That's why I came here to ask. Wen Chou said solemnly, and the worry in it was fully revealed.

These two people are both academic doctors, so they naturally heard Wen Chou's worries, and after a glance at each other, Li Dangzhi said: "Wen Jun does have compassion for the heavens and people, but today he is too careful, and the disease suffered by the head of the county is not an epidemic!" Not contagious. ”

Then Doctor Tang added helplessly: "It's not a secret, most of these patients are due to long-term hunger and poverty, and they are getting thinner and thinner, but it is not enough to treat them in the next family, so I can only ask Master Li to prescribe some simple herbs to curb the deterioration of the villagers' conditions." ”

Wen Scandal said, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but in the face of Doctor Tang's difficulties, he also comforted him: "Doctor Tang is benevolent, but this is not a family matter!" The situation in the county, although the contemptible people are new to the county, they can also get a glimpse of one or two. ”

Then Wen Chou talked with Tang Yi and Li Dangzhi, although Wen Chou himself was not a doctor, but the later generations' observations and understandings of medical theory still surprised the two. In the conversation, the Chinese ugly also learned that Li Dangzhi was a native of Chang'an, but in the turbulent world, his family was not lucky, and he was left alone, just like his teacher, who traveled around the world on weekdays to treat diseases, and came to this Julu County boundary a few days ago!

Taking this opportunity, Wen Chou extended an invitation to him, and received a positive reply. It's not that Li Dangzhi doesn't want to have a stable place to live, it's really that he is forced by this troubled world to go to another country, and the condition proposed by Wen Chou is that he can ensure his safety and give him good conditions to help the world, so he naturally has no reason to refuse.

The conditions proposed by Wen Chou not only made Li Dang, who had no roots and no concern, moved, but also the father and son of Tang Yi who were on the side, but considering that his family lived here, he still had a lot of feelings for the township and the county, and his family, as a well-known doctor, still had a psychological sense of 'protection' for the head of Qian. Of course, this feeling is only possessed by people with noble medical ethics like them. For this, Wen Chou admires it very much.

That night, Wen Chou had a very happy conversation with these three doctors at the Tang Doctor's house, and only then did he confess and leave. I was overjoyed. Because he got Li Dangzhi's 'here's matter, he went to Gaoyi. 'Commitment. For this reason, Wen Chou also decided to leave three soldiers for his servants, of course, there may not be no intention of guarding and watching.

When Wen Chou returned to the courtyard where he was temporarily staying, Wen Ba and his people had already been in the courtyard in a hurry, and the cavalry assigned to other places had also returned for a long time. Out of excitement, Wen Chou even made everyone report, and after seeing that there were no major discoveries, he thought for a while, said a few things that needed attention, and then went back to the room to rest.

During this period, of course, they also explained to everyone that they should have an attitude towards Yang's County and once again emphasized the purpose of their trip.

The next day, early in the morning, Wen Chou has finished washing, and started morning exercises in the courtyard, which is Wen Chou's consistent living habits, unless he was drunk yesterday, or he was seriously injured and could not get up, Wen Chou will practice martial arts in the early morning. Of course, Wen Chou is not the only one who has this habit, and the Wen Ba who is of the same origin as Wen Ba and these soldiers trained by Wen Ba are also strict with themselves.

So there is, after the sky was just slightly bright, the courtyard where Wen Chou was temporarily stationed sounded the sound of martial arts training with considerable momentum and rhythm. This is also the reason why Wen Choujun was able to grow from a new pawn to a fierce soldier in a short period of time.

After breakfast, Wen Chou synthesized a lot of information he had so far, and had a clear understanding of Yangshi County, Julu County, and a clear plan for the future journey. called Wenba, gathered all the soldiers, and resigned to the county magistrate of the Yang family, Tang Yi, Li Dangzhi and others. Started another part of the journey.

As the starting point and center of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Julu County also suffered the greatest damage, not only several households and all the cities in the county were broken by the three Zhang Jiao brothers, but also after the Yellow Turban Army was suppressed by the imperial army, there were more than 100,000 devout Taiping followers, following the Taiping leaders at all levels to flee to other places and hide in the mountains. As a result, the population of Julu County has been greatly reduced.

This is one of the reasons why Yang County is so depressed, and this situation is also prevalent in other parts of the county. However, after three or four years of governance, some counties have recovered a lot, attracting many displaced people to return. Of course, such county towns all have distinct county monarchs, such as Guangping County and Julu County, where celebrities and scholars are located. However, there is only one castle, so there are not many castles in Julu County that can be well restored and developed.

Although Wang Fen and his people have a lot of means to govern the place, and what they did after taking office in the second year of Zhongping is also clearly reflected in this, but this embodiment is compared with Jizhou after being seriously damaged by the Yellow Turban thieves, it is naturally easier to reflect the political achievements, and the so-called political communication is also true.

It also calmed down the uneasiness of the remaining Qiantou in the state, but it did not suppress the thieves who had rebelled, but had an increasing momentum. This is the rise of the Montenegrin Army led by Zhang Yan. Therefore, the current situation of Julu County can be said to have developed slightly, but it is not enough to completely free the people from the impact of the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Julu County is approximately rectangular, north-south, and Yang's County is located in the middle of Julu County, and the purpose of Wen Chou's trip is to the southern counties of Julu County, where there are Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Wang Fen, Xu You, Han Meng, etc., which are located in Yin'an, Wei County, and are also in the south of Julu County.

Wen Chou and his party rode horses on the official road, and the further south they went, the more displaced people they saw, and it seemed that the old and weak in the mountains had begun to helplessly migrate and beg. They tend to be in groups of three or five, ragged, and even when they walk, they are mostly weak.

However, there are also good phenomena, and many townships and counties have set up shacks and carried out activities to give alms of gruel. Some of these are officially ordered from above to open a position for disaster relief; There are also those set up by private individuals with well-to-do families and good hearts; There are also wealthy families who have been pressured by the government, and they are barely able to burn porridge for disaster relief. The reasons vary, but they finally started the relief operation. This gives the homeless people some hope.

Not all of the blessed exiles do nothing, and most of the simple people will strive to do what they can. What he saw along the way made Wen Chou very relieved. I secretly think that Gaoyi County, Shahe Township, etc. are doing the same thing right now, but the difference may be that the areas under their jurisdiction are relatively more standardized, because Wen Chou has the experience of sheltering displaced people last year.

Wen Chou went all the way south, bypassed the mainland, rode a horse and galloped for a day, and finally came to the boundary of Ren County in the south-central part of Julu County, and rested there for a day. First, we will continue to search for information and intelligence, and secondly, we will explore and visit skilled craftsmen to accumulate strength for future development.

Perhaps because of the proximity to Guangnian County, Rencheng County is much more prosperous than Yangshi County. This is also the general situation in Julu County, where the south is richer and more stable than the north. This can also show Wang Fen's governance ability from the side.

Fifty or sixty miles southwest of Rencheng County is Nanhe County, that is, the city where Han Meng is located; In the southeast of Rencheng County, within a hundred and ten miles of land, there are three cities in Pingxiang County, Julu County and Guangping County. It is also the wealthiest area in the whole of Julu County, with a large number of people. Guangnian County, the state of Zhi, is two or three hundred miles south of Rencheng County, which is also the southernmost part of Julu County, adjacent to Wei County and Zhao State.

Wen Chou is very clear about the city branch of Julu County, this is because he has done enough research before deciding on this operation, but the current map is not as accurate as that of later generations, and there are many discrepancies. In areas dominated by plains such as Jizhou and the Central Plains, it is easy to say that the error is not too large to be accepted, but if it encounters mountainous areas, especially mountainous areas such as Sichuan and Chongqing, the error is outrageous.

Wen Chou stayed in Rencheng County for a day, perhaps because the place was more prosperous and stable, although it was not as huge as in Yangshi County, but there were still more than a dozen skilled craftsmen who were willing to develop in Gaoyi County. -- In the final summary of Yangshi County, nearly 100 people were willing to go to Gaoyi County, including Li Dangzhi, a master-level figure.

After discussing with Wen Ba, Wen Chou decided to go to Julu and Guangping counties in the southeast first, so as to visit Tian Feng and Fu Zhu, the two masters who lived here. Of course, the preparation work before this is done thoroughly, such as the preferences, personalities, family members, speech, and influence on the locals. In short, all the information available about them must be gathered.

In order to achieve the above goals, Wen Chou and his people decided to conduct two to three days of investigation in two or three nearby counties. Of course, their main positions are in the two counties of Julu and Quang Binh, where these two celebrities live.
