Meng Liangzhuang, outside the city of Anyi, walked into a few strangers, and they inquired all the way to the outside of a manor. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Dianfu," looking at the huge plaque on the door, Zhang Yi nodded and said, "It seems that this is it." ”
After the words fell, Zhang Yi stepped forward and called the door in person.
Zhang Yi walked up here and was about to knock on the door, but the door opened with a "squeak", and a middle-aged man walked out of the door. ”
The reason why middle-aged people call Zhang Yi Mr. is because although Zhang Yi is wearing cloth clothes, his whole body is cleaned up very neatly, although the process of rushing makes Zhang Yi look dusty, but it does not affect the temperament of Zhang Yi's scholars, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of the scholars are called Mr., which is the same as the teacher in later generations, and the modern Mr. refers to men is different.
Arching his hand politely towards the middle-aged man, Zhang Yi opened his mouth and asked, "May I ask if your master is Dianheng?" ”
Nodding, the middle-aged man replied, "Exactly, may I ask what is the matter with my master?" ”
took out Sima Wei's handwritten letter written in silk cloth from his arms, Zhang Yi handed him to the middle-aged man, and said: "This is the handwritten silk book handed over by Mr. Shuijing. ”
After taking the silk cloth handed over by Zhang Yi, the middle-aged man muttered "Mr. Shuijing" in his mouth, as if he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked if it was Sima Wei, and after seeing Zhang Yi nodding yes, the middle-aged man immediately welcomed Zhang Yi and them in happily.
"Quick, go and report to the master, just say that Mr. Sima Wei's friend is visiting." While beckoning Zhang Yi and them to enter the door, the middle-aged man gave the silk book to the little guy next to him, and he quickly went to report to Dian Heng.
After introducing Zhang Yi and them into the inner hall, the middle-aged man hurriedly beckoned the maid to serve tea, and Zhang Yi saw two points from the middle-aged man's reaction, one is that Sima Wei and Dian Heng are indeed very good friends, otherwise the middle-aged man would not be so polite to Zhang Yi and them; The second is that the middle-aged man should be Dian Heng's cronies, and he has a certain status in the pawn family, otherwise he would not dare not inform Dian Heng, so he rashly welcomed Zhang Yi and others into the house. After thinking of these two points, Zhang Yi tentatively asked the identity of the middle-aged man, and sure enough, the middle-aged man was the chief housekeeper of the mansion, named Deng Yan, who had been working in the mansion for 30 years.
Zhang Yi was talking to Deng Yan here, and a middle-aged man about 30 years old walked out of the inner hall, that person was full of heaven, and at first glance he was a person of good fortune, and his eyes were bright, and he should also be a well-educated person.
After seeing Dian Heng come out, Zhang Yi immediately straightened up and bowed to Dian Heng.
After entering the inner hall, Dian Heng looked at Huang Zhong and Zhang Yi on the seat, and then asked, "Which one is Zhang Yi and Master Zhang?" ”
"Late birth," Chong Dianheng arched his hand, and Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Mr. Sima asked me to say hello to Mr. ”
"Disrespectful and disrespectful, I didn't expect the adult to be so young, it's really terrifying," After returning the salute to Zhang Yi, Dian Heng knelt on the main seat while looking at Zhang Yi, and then asked: "De Cao said in the silk book that the adult is the descendant of Lord Wencheng and Lord Zhang Liang?" ”
Zhang Yi could see from Dian Heng's eyes that he had just looked at him, Dian Heng seemed to despise himself a little, coupled with the tone of his speech now, Zhang Yi was even more sure that Dian Heng was indeed a little despised himself, in fact, it was no wonder that Zhang Yi was a hairy guy in his early twenties from his appearance, and his appearance was mediocre, looking no different from ordinary people, Dian Heng naturally doubted his ability.
Knowing that the other party despised him, Zhang Yi was not annoyed, but politely arched his hand and said: "Exactly, the late birth is the eighteenth generation descendant of Wen Chenghou, and his surname is Zhang Mingyi." ”
Zhang Yi spoke in a humble tone with a hint of arrogance, after all, he was Zhang Liang's descendant.
"Oh?" Listening to Zhang Yi's words, Dian Heng smiled, then stroked the beard on his chin and asked, "Since my lord has already paid homage to Hedong County, I want to ask Mr. How much do you know about the current situation in Hedong?" And what are the countermeasures? ”
Dian Heng This is testing Zhang Yi's strategy of governing the people, and it can be regarded as testing Zhang Yi's way of being an official, if Zhang Yi can't answer this question well, it will be difficult to ask Dian Heng to help him.
Zhang Yi has inquired about no less than Dian Heng along the way, and it can be seen from his reduction and exemption of tenants' rents and helping tenants to hand over the imperial grain that Dian Heng is a good person, and he is also a smart person, the reason why he did this is to stabilize his position in Hedong County, Zhang Yi learned before coming that there are now two major scholars in Hedong County, one is the Wei family, and the other is the Pei family.
Needless to say, the Wei family is the descendant of the Western Han Dynasty Empress Wei Zifu, and although the Pei family does not have the illustrious family background of the Wei family, the Pei family now belongs to the ruling faction, and Pei Ye, the father of Pei Xi, the current head of the Pei family, was the assassin of Bingzhou when he was Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty, and Pei Xi's first Pei Mao is now also an official residence in Shangshuling.
Compared with these two scholars, Dian Heng's family background is much worse, according to Sima Wei's description, Dian Heng's father once served as a Taishou, but he died of illness within a few years, so his family background is not prominent, and now he is an outsider in Hedong, so he has to restrain people's hearts, in order to be able to take root in Hedong County, in addition to Dian Heng is also for self-preservation, after all, there are many displaced people now, if Hedong County is caused by famine to cause a civil uprising, their pawn family will be the first to be affected by the displaced people, Therefore, Dian Heng gave up part of his own interests in order to gain a good reputation.
Zhang Yi saw these careful thoughts of Dian Heng, but he wouldn't say it, because he knew what it meant to see through and not to say it.
Chong Dianheng arched his hand, Zhang Yi said with a smile: "The policy of stabilizing the people's hearts, there is naturally a late life, after all, the people are the foundation of the country, there is no people without a king, the people have no fixed place to eat, and the country will happen ****, so the late life has thought of the policy of reassuring the people, if the late life can sit firmly on the position of raising his hand, the first is to open a warehouse and release grain to relieve the victims, after the people's hearts are stabilized, in the development of production, so that the barren fields can be restored to life, followed by the suppression of bandits, but these things can only be implemented after the late life takes office, Otherwise everything is empty talk. ”
Zhang Yi has a set of plans in his heart for how to govern Hedong County, after all, he also served as the Taishou of Zhuojun in his previous life, and later after Gongsun Zhan died in battle, he entrusted the entire Youzhou to him, and he still has a set of how to calm the people.
As soon as Zhang Yi's voice fell, Dian Heng didn't open his mouth when he wanted to speak, and ran into a small guy outside in a panic, and as soon as the little guy came in, he shouted: "The master is not good, the young master has lifted off the door panel, and he is coming over here, he said that he wants to settle accounts with the master!" I'm going to put the old man in that little dark room and squat! ”
"What?" After listening to the little guy's words, Dian Heng's face changed greatly, and he got up angrily and said, "This rebel! ”
As soon as the words fell, Dian Heng immediately realized that he had lost his temper.
After confessing to Zhang Yi, Dian Heng suddenly had an idea and said to Zhang Yi: "If you have the ability, you might as well try it on the dog first?" If the adults can really subdue the dogs, I would like to let the dogs wait for the adults to saddle before and after the horses. ”
Listening to Dian Heng's words, Zhang Yi grinned slightly, and said in his heart, your son is going to beat you even as an old man, you let me take care of it?
Zhang Yi was just about to resign, but Dian Heng's son over there had already run into the inner hall angrily, and as soon as he saw Dian Heng's son, Zhang Yi immediately exclaimed: "Evil? ”
