Erxiu and Ernu Xing are old in the streets of Wancheng. Zhang Xiu from time to time with the second daughter... Look at some trinkets or something. Chen Yao was very interested in these little things, and kept pulling Zhang Xiu to look at these, look at those, and was extremely excited. Cai Yan followed with a smile, looking around at the environment of Wancheng from time to time. She has been traveling around the Han Dynasty with her father since she was a child, and when she saw the bad environment of Wancheng, she praised: "Husband, the streets of Wancheng are really clean, even if it is Luoyang in the past and Chang'an now, it can't be compared." ”

At this time, several people were in front of a small shop, and the vendor heard Cai Yan's words, so he said, "This lady doesn't know anything. Before the fat cavalry general came to Wancheng, the environment in our city was extremely poor. However, after the fat cavalry came, he asked those soldiers to help us clean up the garbage in front of the door, so the environment in Wancheng will be so good now. ”

After Cai Yan heard this, his eyes looked at Zhang Xiu like autumn water, obviously admiring Zhang Xiu's governance. Zhang Xiu smiled, took out a few five-pound coins from his arms, handed them to the vendor, and said, "We want these things." It turned out that Chen Yao had already chosen the little things he liked.

Zhang Xiu obviously gave too much money, and slowly left under the gratitude of the small trader. At this time, Cai Yancai said: "I didn't expect that the husband still had such experience in governing the party, and within a few days of the net in Wancheng, the people began to thank the husband." ”

Zhang Xiu heard Cai Yan's praise, but she was not as modest as usual, but hugged Cai Yan and said, "Your husband's ability is still great." ”

Cai Yan snorted lightly and said, "Stinky beauty." ”

At this time, a large group of soldiers suddenly appeared in front, Chen Yao pulled Zhang Xiu, and asked, "Husband, why are they all carrying so much wood?" ”

Zhang Xiu saw it and said with a smile: "Wancheng has been warped several times, and many people's houses have been damaged. The soldiers went out of the city every day to cut wood, and carried the timber to the city and handed it over to the carpenters to repair the houses for the people, so that the people would not freeze due to the damage of the houses in the winter.

In doing so, it can not only help the people, but also train the soldiers, killing two birds with one stone. Chen Yao heard it and said, "The husband treats the people so well. Yao'er remembered that when her father was the Taishou of Jincheng, those soldiers who guarded the city often looted the people's property, although Dad was a county Taishou, but he couldn't help them. Yao'er had never seen any place where soldiers would help the people, even when they were in Luoyang and Chang'an, soldiers often saw soldiers bullying and dominating the city and robbing Yao'er. ”

Cai Yan smiled after hearing this: "This is also our husband's ability." Chen Yao listened and kept nodding.

Zhang Xiu smiled and said: "These soldiers have been with their husbands for several years, and they are already familiar with the military discipline of our army, but they are not like soldiers in other places. ”

While talking, a team of soldiers should have finished carrying the wood and were about to leave the city, passing by a private house, an old woman held a bowl of hot water in both hands and handed it to the soldier walking in front and said, "This soldier brother, the weather is cold, drink a sip of hot water first." Then he said to a few soldiers behind him: "There are still here, a few soldiers, please." ”

The soldiers, after a little delay, could not resist the old woman's enthusiasm, and drank the hot water from their bowls. After that, the old woman handed over some food, and then the soldier who took the lead said, "Old man, we can't take it, if we do, we will be severely punished by the general." ”

But the old woman forced the food into the soldier's hands, and said, "You helped the old man repair the house in the cold weather, and what is it to send some hot water and food, take it." After speaking, he kept stuffing food to each soldier.

The soldiers can't resist the enthusiasm of the old people. I had to hold the food with one hand, and touch some of the five sisters' money from my arms with the other, and I didn't count it, and I gave it all to the old woman and then flew away, and the old woman couldn't chase it if she wanted to. Looking at the posture, it shouldn't be the first time that the soldiers have dealt with this kind of thing.

At this time, Zhang Xiu saw that the old woman was about to catch up, so she stepped forward to help the old woman and said: "There are regulations in their army that they can't collect the people's property, otherwise they will be severely punished, and the old man doesn't want them to be punished, so don't chase them." ”

When the old woman heard this, she turned her head to look at Zhang Xiu and said, "Gongzi is familiar with this matter, but he is an official under the general of the fat cavalry?" ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "No, I just have a relative who is a petty official under the command of the fat cavalry general, so I know about it." ”

When the old woman heard this, she said: "Okay, the old man has lived a handful of years, and he has never seen such a good official for the people, and now almost every family of the people in Wancheng has set up an immortal card for the fat cavalry general." After speaking, he was going to pull Zhang Xiu into the house to entertain him.

Zhang Xiu saw it, and politely declined: "Old man, no need, I still have to accompany my two beloved wives to walk around the city, so I won't disturb the old man." After speaking, he pointed to Chen Yao and Cai Yan.

The old woman smiled and said, "The young man is a good daughter-in-law, and the old woman will not bother you, but remember to come to the old woman in the future." ”

Zhang Xiu nodded with a smile before saying goodbye to the old woman.

Back to the second daughter, Cai "Tianer" It seems that her husband is really popular, Zhang Xiu smiled, and walked with Gonggambibi. After walking for a while, Cai Yan was puzzled: "Husband, Yan'er saw that the houses of the people of Wancheng have basically been repaired, why do the soldiers still carry wood?" And I just saw a lot of timber at the city gate and it was not moved into the city, but outside the city? ”

Zhang Xiu heard it and said with a smile: "This is Yuan Chang's idea." He heard that the soldiers were cut down trees to carry timber, so he asked the soldiers to cut down more trees and build houses in and outside the city, so as to attract displaced people from all over the world to come to Nanyang County to reclaim wasteland at the beginning of spring, so that Nanyang County could regain its prosperity before the Yellow Turban Rebellion

Cai Yan heard it, thought about it, and then said: "Mr. Yuan Chang really has a lot of land, Yan'er saw a lot of wasteland on the way to Wancheng. Mr. Yuanchang's move will indeed attract a large number of displaced people to come and reclaim these wastelands, and within a few years, Nanyang County will surely regain its former prosperity. ”

Zhang Xiu smiled: "That's not all. After Yuan Chang took office, he also lowered the tax on merchants, attracting merchants from all over the country to this place. And Nanyang County is now short of grain, although the princes around the grain control is very strict, but also can not stop the businessmen who want to make money, now there are many Yuzhou, Chongzhou and the south of the businessmen to sell grain here, now according to the Yuan Chang budget, the grain shortage in the two counties has been basically solved, but if there is a large influx of displaced people at the beginning of spring, such a grain stock is still not enough

At this time, Chen Yao interjected: "Then along the way, Mr. Yuan Chang looked at those businessmen and kept thinking about this? ”

Zhang Xiu said: "It should be." ”

Zhang Xiu and the second daughter walked for a while, and Zhang Xiu saw that Chen Yao was a little tired, so she found a tavern and went in to rest. ordered a few side dishes, some fruits and a pot of tea, and Zhang Xiu accompanied the second daughter to say something.

Entering the tavern and sitting down, Zhang Xiu didn't notice it, but the careful Cai Yan saw that most of the people in the tavern were poor scholars wearing shabby Confucian clothes, so Cai Yan pulled Zhang Xiu and said, "Husband, why are there so many poor scholars here?" ”

Zhang Xiu did not answer, but motioned to Cai Yan to listen carefully to their conversation, and seeing Zhang Xiu's signal, Cai Yan and Chen Yao were interested, and listened carefully to the answers of these poor scholars.

At this time, I only heard a Hanmen scholar say: "I don't know if Brother He has seen the list posted at the gate of the city, the fat cavalry general opened a new official system, called the imperial examination, whether it is a wealthy family or a poor family, as long as they participate in the imperial examination, they are treated equally." In this way, wouldn't my poor people have a bright future? ”

The Hanmen scholar surnamed He heard it and said: "Brother Liao said that the list text, a certain person has naturally read it, but although the list text is good, the so-called official words are two, and the official master of the court is right." Everyone knows what the faces of the officials of the imperial court are, and if the things they do have the tithes they say, I am afraid it is already a blessing

At this time, the scholar surnamed Liao argued: "If other states have this system, I don't believe it, but the mule cavalry general has been in Wancheng District for more than ten days, and Wancheng has completely changed its appearance and is full of vitality. General Fat Cavalry is really a good official who loves the people like a son, just look at his army, when there is an army in that state and county that will help the people do things? As long as they don't rob the people, they are already lucky, so they are ready to participate in the imperial examination, and if they can pass the examination, even if they are petty officials, they can also serve the people of a place. ”

After finishing speaking, after a pause, the scholar surnamed Liao asked another person: "By the way, Brother Zhengfang, you are both civil and military, whether you are a scholar or a martial artist, your talent can be called the first among us, I don't know if you are ready to sign up for the imperial examination?" small

The man named Zhengfang shook his head and said, "Forget it, you don't know about my affairs, and you still forget about this imperial examination." ”

The scholar surnamed Liao heard this, and said angrily: "That Hongyun is really not a thing, if it weren't for Brother Zhengfang's conspiracy, he would have already grovelled and surrendered when the army of the fat cavalry general came out of Wancheng, where would he have made such a great achievement." Now that he has gone to Xiangyang to receive the credit, the real plot of the Zhengfang brother was thrown aside by him, and when I think of this, I can't wait to dismantle this Hongyun into eight pieces.

Zhang Xiu next to him heard it and said secretly: "Hong Yun? Hearing this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but remember that when he was in Wuguan that day, he and Jia Xu both expected that Hong Yun, who was stationed in Wancheng, would open the city and surrender, but how did they know that he was holding on to the city. At that time, he and Jia Xu both suspected that Hong Yun must have a master to help, if what this scholar surnamed Liao said was true, then it should be this person who plotted to let Hong Yun defend the city that day, forcing our army not to dare to attack Wancheng, so that Hong Yun made a great contribution. And when Liu Biao sent an envoy to let Hong Yun go, in order to take all the credit, he left this person in Wancheng and went back to Xiangyang to invite merit.

The following number of words is free today, and it seems that I am here to ask you for a monthly pass.
