——183 A.D.——

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Taishan County Cheng Zhuge came to visit Xiapi, and Xiapi County ordered Sun Jian to accompany him personally and visit the city with him.

It was noon, the streets in the city were very lively, there were blacksmith shops steaming in the heat wave, the sound of hammering and forging was endless, there were restaurants in front of the door to put a big pot and stir, there were bursts of pepper incense, there were shops displaying cloth and satin, the shops were bargaining with customers, there were carriages and horses, the shopkeeper was directing the work to unload and change horses, and there were shops that did not know what to do, suspected to be restaurants, and there were several young men with big shoulders and round waists talking and laughing loudly.

"Brother Jungong, haven't you ever seen such a 'Ranger Guild'?" Seeing that Zhuge Jue had been watching those young men, Sun Jian took the initiative to explain: "They proposed that they needed a separate place for handing over the entrustment, and those restaurants were also happy that these people did not come to the door to disrupt the business, and the two sides hit it off, and I had no reason to stop it." ”

"I've heard about this, but in many towns and cities, there is no other place to use or someone in charge of this matter other than the restaurant and its shopkeeper, and Wentai is the first to implement it, which shows that the governance is well-managed." Zhuge Jue praised.

"Hahaha...... Brother Jungong has a reputation. Sun Jian responded.

"However, I see a lot of Yanzhou people doing business here, why does Wentai allow them to set up shop outside the market?" Zhuge Luxin pointed to a few shops: "If you take extra care because of me, you don't have to." ”

Sun Jian shook his head: "This is not for the sake of Brother Jungong, the reason why I did not stop it is that the imperial court cannot stipulate that shops and storefronts must be built in the bazaar. ”

"But...... Oh? Zhuge Jue wanted to speak and stopped, and his thoughts seemed to have some understanding.

"Since Han Gaozu's 'Three Chapters of the Law', to the 'Nine Chapters' and 'Sixty Laws', all the provisions are 'what crime needs to be punished', but there is no 'what must be done', when the matter is more complicated, the subjective is based on the allusions of the Spring and Autumn Period, in addition, there are only the 'orders' specially issued by His Majesty and the 'branches' set by the local governors" Sun Jian continued: "Therefore, under the condition that the behavior of the people under my rule does not violate the criminal law, I will not interfere in any way. ”

"What Wentai did is quite a bit of Taoism's meaning of 'ruling by doing nothing', and although there is a little chaos in this Pi, it is probably still developing in a good direction." Zhuge Jue praised it, and then changed his words: "The county can be like this, but to the county, the state, and even a country, it can't be implemented according to this, I don't know if Wentai has a good strategy?" ”

"Why can't it be done the same way?" Sun Jian glared: "The people naturally want their lives to be better, and are willing to work hard for it, I just need to stop them when they want to harm others, Gaozu's law of 'killing people die, injuring others and stealing crimes' is still applicable for nearly 400 years." ”

"Huh...... Presumably, the policy of 'communicating with Taishan County' agreed with Wentai is also implemented in accordance with this practice. Zhuge Jue no longer took it seriously, and changed the topic.

"That's right," Sun Jian said, "I have sent men to repair the road leading to Taishan County, and sent more soldiers to patrol it, because this route is profitable, and even if I have not issued any decree, merchants or rangers who are interested in this place will come and go on their own, and they will not be reprimanded by the Shangguan - why don't we go and see that road?" ”

"That's very good."

Xiapi County Ya.

Since Zhuge Jin came for "private affairs", he took his nine-year-old son Zhuge Jin and left him in the county government back house when he visited the town with Sun Jian.

Because Wu Rong wanted to take care of a pair of twin children named Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang respectively, she asked Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, who were the same age, to entertain her.

"What should I do, I'm not good at getting along with children who seem to be weak." Sun Ce, who was tall and could vaguely see the handsome appearance of the young man, looked at the little boy sitting obediently in the main hall with worry, and whispered to Zhou Yu beside him.

"What's so difficult about this, you can start by praising his merits," Zhou Yu also whispered: "When he praises you politely, you can praise his father when you say that your father teaches well, and children generally worship their father, and often remember a lot of their father's deeds, and then, you can tell Uncle Sun's deeds in Xiliang to quell the chaos, so that the topic will be opened." ”

"Oh, that's a good idea." Sun Ce nodded, got up and walked towards Zhuge Jin, and the little boy also looked over as if he was aware of it.

"You ......" Sun Ce was about to speak, but he was stuck, and he held back for a long time before he said: "Your face is really long." ”

"......" Zhou Yu covered his face, although Zhuge Jin and Zhuge Jin's faces are equally slender and long, but that is not an advantage.

"Oh...... Thank you. Xiao Tong also seemed to be stunned, and it took a long time to respond, "Your face is not short." ”

"It's all my father's teaching." Sun Ce answered as planned.

"......" Zhuge Jin looked at Sun Ce, and then looked at Zhou Yu, who was covering his forehead a little farther away, with a blank face.

"Presumably your father is older, too." Sun Ce moved to the next stage very comfortably.

"Although, although it's true, the son doesn't say that the father is too ......" Zhuge Jin looked like he was about to cry: "Can you please stop this topic." ”

"Haha, don't worry, my father was also so long when he was in Liangzhou to quell the turmoil." Sun Ce laughed.

"When, really?" Zhuge Jin seemed to have begun to make up for the image of Sun Jian, who originally had a long face, and his eyes were misty.

"No, wait, he's just kidding." Zhou Yu, who couldn't stand it, stepped forward to try to stop this ridiculous conversation.

"Yes, yes?" Zhuge Jinse shrank for a moment.

"Huh! Didn't you teach me that? Sun Ce shouted.

Seeing that Zhuge Jin looked at the two of them back and forth, with an expression of "it turns out that both of them are weirdos" appeared on his face, Zhou Yu wanted to pick up a stick and beat Sun Ce.

"I didn't teach him what he said, or rather, I didn't teach him what he actually said......," Zhou Yu began to explain patiently, and forbade Sun Ce to speak, if he didn't explain clearly, when the Taishan County Cheng took his son back, he asked, Xiapi County ordered the son of H County to be all weirdos, even if the child's words were not true, it would have a negative impact.

The county government back house.

Wu Rong coaxed her twins, who were more than a year old, to sleep, and also fell asleep on the side.

The pregnancy time of this pair of children is half a year longer than that of ordinary babies, fortunately the mother and son/daughter are safe, but Wu Rong has become a little lethargic because of this, and originally vowed to take care of the children by herself, but finally had to find many servants and maids to help because she was really tired.

At this time, seeing the master and the little master and the little lady sleeping together, only two of the servants and maids were left in the house to wake up and call, and the others quietly left so as not to disturb them.

"The little young master is still so steady and cute......" "The little young lady is also very lively......" They talked quietly and gradually moved away.

After the surroundings were quiet, even the faint cries from the street seemed very hypnotic, and the two servant women who were left behind sat on the couch, their eyes gradually closed, and their heads gradually lowered.

After they finally fell asleep, as a fresh breeze blew, an elderly man appeared in the room, he looked kind and fairy-eyed, but a big dark eye and a somewhat charred beard completely ruined the image.

"The heavenly machine has been confused to such an extent, which makes the old Taoist and my fortune wrong again and again," the Taoist said to himself: "Sure enough, Sun Jian and Sun Ce are not the people of Zhongxing Dongwu, but the twin brothers and sisters are." ”

"At this time, the ten permanent servants are dealing with Taiping Dao, presumably [Lin Hao], who has been supporting them, has no time to care about it at this time, and there is no doubt that this operation can be successful." Lao Dao stood in place and chattered, not knowing whether he was talking to himself or to a specific person.

"She wants to [save everyone], which is impossible, and if she wants to end the troubled times as soon as possible, she can only cut off those forces that have inexplicably taken up the separatist as soon as possible, and reunite the Han Dynasty when the losses have not yet expanded - or other country names." Lao Dao's voice was not small, but Wu Rong and the two servant women who were sleeping were all unconscious, and there was no sign of waking up.

"Hmm...... After saying so many words, she didn't [descend] to kill, it seems that she really doesn't have time to pay attention," Lao Dao nodded, squinted his eyes slightly and stretched out his hand to the two sleeping babies: "If the killer is killed, she will definitely appear, then just erase their 'Wushuang', a monarch without any strength, there will not be many people willing to follow - strange, how can this 'Red Dragon' attribute be so stable?" ”

Lao Dao, who thought that he had been caught, opened his eyes in surprise to look at the two babies, and then saw that the two children who were supposed to be sleeping were staring at him in unison, one pair of eyes was ice blue and the other pair of eyes were green.

"It's not—" "Zheng!! ”

The pair of ice blue eyes narrowed suddenly, and the two staggered arc-shaped knife marks slashed at Lao Dao's body, marking deep white marks that crossed, and the fragments of Dao robes that were split and scattered were completely shattered into ice crystals when they flew away from his body less than a foot away.

Lao Dao staggered two steps, and with a slightly frightened expression, he wanted to turn into a breeze and flee again, but in the next moment, he was completely enveloped by a blazing flame, and there was no air, so what kind of wind?

Seeing that the beard, eyebrows, hair and robe were about to be completely burned, the baby girl with ice blue eyes dissatisfiedly bumped the baby boy with green eyes, the baby boy made a helpless expression that did not match his age, and in the blink of an eye, the burning flames burst out, leaving no hair and only pants from the open window.

There was quite a lot of movement at this time, and Wu Rong and the two servants woke up one after another, but they only saw from the window the strange old way who was being chased and beaten by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and even his clothes were broken.

"Damn Yuji! How dare you come! "This time, don't think about leaving!"

"You don't know anything—huh!"

Wu Rong looked down at Sun Quan and Sun Shangxiang, the siblings, and found that they were holding each other's hands and sleeping soundly.
