Chapter 155: Step out of the North Gate

"A private visit?"

Not to mention, if it weren't for Zong Jiyuan to bring it up at this time, Lord He really couldn't think of it, and there was such a thing as a private visit, and after a little calculation in his heart, the things that should be dealt with in the spring have also been dealt with, and from the reopening of the government after the fifteenth, until now, basically when the drum has not been beaten again, it is really a good idea to be able to take advantage of this spring season to go to the people for a walk, so he nodded,

"Okay, then, let's see which day is more appropriate, and then let's go down and walk together."

"If you think it's okay for adults, let's do it tomorrow,"

Zong Jiyuan is not a procrastinator, so he made a decision immediately,

"I'll explain everything I'm going to explain today, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning, and we'll go out for seven days, and the students think it's almost over."

"Okay, tomorrow is tomorrow,"

Lord He was also very happy, and nodded again and again,

"If there is any business that needs to be dealt with in the yazhong, let the county lord Zhang act as his agent first."

"Then the students will go back and prepare."

Seeing that this matter was settled, Zong Jiyuan's heart also brightened, and he got up to say goodbye and prepare to go back to his room.

But as soon as he went out, he saw the two guys standing in front of him like a shadow, Zong Jiyuan ignored the two of them, turned around and walked back, and He Qingyu and Wang Yu followed her one by one, naturally.

Walking to the door of the room that belonged to her, Zong Jiyuan stopped and glanced at them,

"You really don't have anything else to do, why do you follow me all day."

"Brother Ji Yuan, I ......"

He Qingyu wanted to say something anxiously, but was interrupted by Wang Yu,

"Of course I have to follow you, don't forget, I'm your full-time subordinate, and it's my duty to stay by your side."

"Brother Qingyu, what about you?"

Zong Jiyuan ignored him and turned his head to look at He Qingyu.

Originally, this He Gongzi wanted to speak just now, but he was snatched away by Wang Yu, and he was annoyed in his heart, listening to Zong Jiyuan asking him, he glared at the guy who liked to make trouble, and said,

"Ji Yuan, can you ask for a favor for me, and ask my father to bring me with me when I go to the private visit tomorrow?"

"Yes,"

Seeing that he was in a hurry like this, Zong Jiyuan didn't let him be anxious anymore and agreed very simply,

"But if you really want to go together tomorrow, shouldn't you go back and get ready now?"

"yes, yes...... Then I'll go back to the inner house to get ready. ”

When He Qingyu heard this, he felt that this matter was indeed very important, and after saying a word, he turned around and left quickly.

Looking at his back as soon as he was gone, Wang Yu pouted and said,

"Ji Yuan, do you really want to take him with you?"

"yes,"

Zong Jiyuan nodded affirmatively,

"If Master He can agree to let him go, I really hope that Brother Qingyu can go together."

"Huh? Do you wish? ”

Wang Yu heard it and looked very surprised,

"Really, fake? We went out with Lord He to visit the people, and we didn't go to the mountains and rivers to play in the mountains and rivers, and with a son-in-law, wouldn't we be in the way? ”

"Getting in the way?"

Zong Jiyuan suddenly smiled and said,

"Being able to say such things means that Brother Wang Yu, you don't know Qingyu Gongzi at all, he has his own strengths, and it can be said that in some aspects, we are probably not as good as him."

"Wouldn't it?!"

Wang Yu didn't believe it when he heard it, and he was even more unconvinced.

"Why don't I see where he is stronger than us, he can't be literate, he can't be martial, what else can he do besides being coquettish?"

"You'll see."

Knowing that he couldn't convince the other party at once, Zong Jiyuan didn't want to argue about this issue anymore, so he changed the conversation,

"I said you don't have to clean up? Don't you want to come with me tomorrow? ”

"Go, go, go, of course go,"

Wang Yu said repeatedly,

"However, I don't have anything to pack, not to mention that I often go out and get used to it, and I can go tomorrow."

"Then go back and have a good rest, and then you have to run around outside for a few days, you're not tired, I'm still tired, there are a lot of things to prepare when you go back to the room, don't make noise here."

After speaking, Zong Jiyuan went to the room and closed the door tightly, until Wang Yu, who was locked outside, really left with interest, and he was relieved.

In fact, the suggestion of this private visit was not a whim, let alone without purpose.

Just like Diao Saburo said to Lord He, many people among the people are not tolerable to the point of unbearable, and they would rather suffer losses than go to the government to complain, that is to say, even if there is a case outside, just sitting in the yamen and waiting like this, it is difficult to know no matter what, so it is not easy to grasp the clues, it is better to take the initiative to go down, one is to grasp the people's livelihood in the county, and the other is to find some traces for the unsolved cases at present.

The next morning, everyone had breakfast and began to prepare for departure.

Because of Zong Jiyuan's persuasion on the first day, He Ruichang had agreed to his son's entourage, plus Diao Sanlang and Wang Yu, as well as the five selected errands, except for Lord He who rode in a carriage and a messenger to catch the car, the rest of the eight people were all riding horses, a total of ten people, and they went out of the city and came to the suburbs in plain clothes and obeyed the north gate.

At this time, it is the time when the spring breeze warms up, the glacier thaws, and everything recovers, and the sun shines on people and feels very comfortable, although it has not yet reached the season when the flowers are in full bloom, but like those flowers that are in a hurry to welcome spring flowers and small pinks, they have begun to decorate the land of Liaodong with all their might.

Most of the companions are young people, and Master He is only forty years old, far from the age of old-fashionedness, and he walks forward with laughter and laughter along the way.

The route was designed by Zong Yoshiyuan in advance, leaving the north gate and turning west, then from south to east, and back to the city.

Outside the north gate is the location of the Zong's house, so Zong Jiyuan is more familiar with this area, and where to go and where to rest is all properly arranged. Watching farmers sow seeds in the fields and fish swimming slowly by the river are full of life.

At this time, Master He felt that looking out of the car window, the field of vision was not wide enough, and seeing that he was not in a hurry anyway, he would not sit in the car, got out of the car, and walked slowly in the countryside with everyone, looking at his rule, so peaceful, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, and the expression on his face became more and more relaxed......

In this way, he witnessed the spring ploughing and production, listened to the feelings of the people, and when he was about to leave the field and go to the town in the evening, He Ruichang was also very emotional.

"What Ji Yuan said is not wrong at all, it is better to visit the people in person to investigate, which is the way to truly understand the suffering of the people."
