In the summer of the following year, Huzhou Thorn Shi Wenzhen inspected the river workers and found that the Dingyang Canal that traverses Sanshui was stuffed with rotten grass and rotten trees, which was about to collapse. Wen Thorn Shi was furious, and immediately took down Xu Baoliang, the county guard of Dejun County, who was in charge of river engineering, and brought 32 relevant officials in Huzhou, and asked the imperial court to thoroughly investigate the relevant officials from top to bottom and behead the order, but before the decree arrived, 33 heads had landed. At that time, all the officials in Huzhou were ordered to watch the scene by the assassin Shi, and several officials who were weak scholars were frightened on the spot.

At the same time, Wen Zhen promptly fought for the damage to the land in a county, evacuated 10,000 people from Mingan County, opened the floodgates and drained the stream, and preserved 10,000 hectares of fertile land in the lower reaches of the tributaries of the Tibetan Pearl River. Afterwards, the good hall vacated, the disaster relief people, the government opened a warehouse to release grain, the rich merchants also enthusiastically relieved the disaster, the people of Huzhou successfully survived the flood, although the production was reduced that year, but the handicraft industry that has begun to take shape increased the payment of commercial taxes, and the imperial court also reduced the grain tax, and Huzhou has not suffered great damage.

It's also the summer of this year, the child catches Zhou, the child's name hasn't been taken yet, it's not that Wen Zhen wants to wait for his father to take it, it's really incompetent, it's empty first, the nickname is called whatever, because this child is really casual, he looks very good-tempered, he eats when he eats, he doesn't make trouble if he doesn't eat, he sleeps when he sleeps, he can yawn with you if he doesn't sleep, he takes away the toys that he has a good time with, and he doesn't cry, and he can grab a toy and stuff it for you, his heart is so big that he can run away, as if he wants to make up for the debts owed by his father who offended people in his life, Wen Zhen often stared at his Tuan Tuan face and was worried, thinking that with such a dough temper, wouldn't it be impossible for people to pinch it.

But it's not. It didn't take long for everyone to find out that although this child was raised in a group of orphans in the name of adopting orphans, and many officials who came and went to do things didn't know what was going on, but somehow, many officials could tease those other children, but they wouldn't tease him, obviously he was the youngest and the most cute.

Someone asked curiously, those people touched their heads, and said in amazement: "No, I just don't dare to touch it, the child's skin is too tender, and I am afraid that my hands will be heavy." ”

"The eyeballs are too big, dark and black, staring at people without blinking, and somehow I don't dare to touch them."

"If he doesn't laugh at him, he doesn't want to tease."

"Yes, he doesn't laugh. Don't look at him not crying, but he doesn't laugh much. ”

"But it's not serious. When this child looks at people, he always feels that his eyes are very clear. ”

When it was a little bigger, the feedback changed.

"I teased him yesterday with a rattle, and he laughed, and one eye was slanted as if he were scolding me. Later, I saw him teasing the three-year-old melon baby with a rattle. ”

"Lord Li urged, stretched out his finger and lied to him that it was sugar, and asked him to suck it, but the nurse didn't have time to stop it, but he got up, and somehow a glass bead ran out of his mouth, and the glass bead somehow turned into an insect, and the insect somehow squirted out a stream of water, and Lord Li fell on the spot, where, he is still lying at home."

"Ever since he had teeth in his mouth, I didn't dare to tease him. He smiled and bared his teeth, and I was afraid for no reason. ”

"What are you afraid of?"

"I don't know, I'm afraid."

"By the way, the last time the youngest son of the bookkeeper came, thinking that he couldn't walk, he pushed his cart all the way to the brisk side, trying to see him cry, but he sat steadily, and waited until the adults were about to find out, and then suddenly stood up, jumped down, and then sat in the grass and cried...... Tsk, the butt of the bookkeeper's son is said to be still swollen. ”

"Also, he didn't speak before, he was less than a year old, and it's normal not to speak. I don't usually like to babble, I think this child must be late, and one of the nurses who happened to take him was a little lazy, and he took a nap in the house on a hot day, regardless of him, and always heard someone cooing and talking, opened his eyes but didn't see anyone, closed his eyes and the sound came again, like a few times, suspicious, and scared the nurse sick, until Lord Wen knew, let people go and tell the child that the favorite milk cake should be eaten in the future, and he didn't say it. As a result, he immediately said clearly, he wanted it. The big guy knew that it was him who spoke! ”

"Tsk, this ...... It's a little monster, right? ”

From this, the little monster became a definite word. People may not know who it is when they talk about it, but when it comes to "the little monster of the Assassin Mansion", everyone knows it.

The little monster catches the week, the people come completely, the little monster wears a big red belly pocket, the belly pocket has a skillful hand on the purple grapes embroidered by Aunt Caisang, glanced at the dazzling Zhou supplies on the table, gold and silver jewelry, study books, Taoist interpretation scrolls, scales, knives and scissors, bucket measuring tools, colored satin flowers, needlework toys...... Zhang Yue smiled and pushed the four treasures of the study forward, Pan Hang put on the knife and sword, Jun Moxiao moved the needle and thread back, Wen Zhen only hugged his arms, and looked casual.

Whatever...... After looking around, he rolled up his belly pocket in a hurry, first rolled up all the food he liked on the table, then swept away all the toys, finally swept away the gold, silver and jewelry, and finally, those swords, guns, swords, halberds, and measuring sticks, but he didn't look at any of the tools used for work, climbed to his mother, and gave the things in his belly pocket to his mother, laughing so much that he couldn't see his eyes.

Everyone laughed, some people thought that this little monster was greedy for everything, and some people thought that the little monster was trying to please his mother.

Wen Zhen picked up casually, with big eyes to big eyes, and sloppy to the thief, she seriously doubted that this little monster had already sensed who the boss was, thinking that having the boss meant having everything, and paying the protection fee, right?

She held her son's fat buttocks, and thought a little worriedly, Yan Sui's dislike of everything, when she meets this son who is a traitor and a traitor, she will probably be disgusted to the center of the earth, right?

What is that man doing in Pugan now? At the beginning, there were not a few secret guards left, and the dead and wounded were injured, so she asked people to go back to Beijing to recuperate, and when the injuries were healed, she went to Pugan to report the news, but somehow there was no reply. However, when the child was full moon, he vaguely added another batch of people, although he never showed up, but he was also aware of it. She has been speculating whether Yan Sui knows about her pregnancy, but because the child is hidden in the group of children in an ordinary identity, the secret guard does not show up and does not contact her, and she is not good to summon the secret guard out and specially tell people who is the seed of your Royal Highness, thinking that the fewer people who know, the better, and they don't know that that those people exist.

Between the two, after Yan Sui went to Pugan, there was no communication. After all, it is far away from the country, it is inconvenient to train flying pigeons, and it is even more inconvenient to send letters to and fro. The road is far away, there are many enemies, and it is even more detrimental to each other to be troubled by someone on the road, so it has long been agreed that unless there is a major event of life and death, there is no need to exchange letters.

No news, that's good news.

In the summer of this year, Yan Sui left Pugan, and the reason why he stayed in Pugan for a long time was not because of the Yuezhi clan's mess, but because although the medicine was complete, it was still missing, and after looking for a long time, he finally overthrew the queen and found it in the palace.

Yan Sui stayed in the palace of Pugan for a few more days, and no one knew why he stayed in that place where even the queen did not like to stay. By the time he left, Pugan had destroyed almost all the poppy plants, which, of course, could not be completely extinct, and had some medicinal properties in its own right. However, the possibility of large-scale open and legal cultivation has finally been eliminated, and the possibility of outflow from Pugan has been eliminated.

The Yuezhi clan did not successfully seize power, because Yan Sui also supported a group of lower-class alliance forces led by poor civilians, and at the same time, after opening the temple doors for several years, the Heavenly Temple gradually absorbed more believers and began to gradually step down from the altar to propagate the teachings. The strength of the three forces is similar, one eliminates the other's strengths, and entangles each other, and Yan Sui has always been good at balancing the way of containment, wandering around, swaying freely, resulting in the three parties having been tugging with each other for many years, and naturally there is no spare energy to do something else, and after many years, they have to sit down to negotiate and govern together, which is all in the future.

In the autumn of the following year, Wen Zhen once again strictly governed the officials, set up a supervision department, selected literate volunteers from among the people to popularize the law, and organized them into self-defense, trial, expropriation, and supervision teams. It does not belong to the imperial court establishment, but receives subsidies from the Huzhou government, and encourages the people to supervise the defense, management, health, case trial, tax collection, disaster relief and grain distribution, commercial behavior, official corruption, etc., but those who find the incident and verify it will be rewarded. However, it is not allowed to use public weapons for private use, and revenge for personal gain, once discovered, immediately dismissed and children are not allowed to enter the office for three generations.

At the same time, encourage trade, preferential policies, attract merchants to come and go, endlessly, gradually appear that the commercial port is prosperous, abundant materials, agriculture is persuaded to reclaim the famine, open mulberry hemp, cultivate excellent rice seeds, and then reform the state school system, the end of the state school year into an internship period, all students have to go to the counties and townships in Huzhou, personal contact with practice, and then Huzhou students participate in the imperial examination, to be proficient in the world of affairs and practice famous.

The change of posts at the bottom of Huzhou officials has become a rule, and the system of going to the countryside has also been stipulated, and the officials have been purged and tempered several times, and gradually adapted to the management system and business requirements of Wen Zhen, and have gradually become efficient and honest. Governments at all levels are operating at an unprecedented speed, old and old cases have been dealt with, unjust cases have been opened, arrears have been recovered, stagnant affairs have been pushed forward in an orderly manner, and the whole of Huzhou is like a giant ship being slowly pushed, rolling forward on the gradually leveling runway, and constantly accelerating.

In the autumn of this year, Yan Sui went to the Endless Heaven to gather the required medicines and prepare to open the furnace to refine the medicines. But on the way, they were successively obstructed by Tang Yi's two families. The trip was delayed several times, and in the end, the manpower of Tang Yi's two families was introduced into the sea storm by Yan Sui and all of them were killed.

The following winter. The Dingyang embankment was strengthened again, and an artificial lake was excavated to reserve clean water. The streets in the city were renovated, and the dilapidated houses were relocated. In that year, there were many houses in the surrounding states and counties that were crushed by the snow, and the people were affected, but none of the households in Huzhou were damaged.

At the end of the year, 11 additional schools were built in Huzhou, and the largest Suiyun Academy in the nearby states was built. Suiyun Academy has sent more and more outstanding talents to Huzhou year by year, so that Huzhou, which had a mediocre number of people in the early imperial examinations, formed a huge "Huzhou Gang" in the court and China ten years later.

In the winter of this year, Endless Heaven failed to refine medicine for the first time, and the hard-earned geocentric fire was infiltrated and extinguished by the assassins, and he had to wait for the next time the geocentric fire broke out, and Yan Sui was poisoned when he led the Tang family assassin into the sea storm last time, and almost killed half of the living creatures on the Endless Sky Island during an attack.

Before falling asleep, Yan Sui added another fire to the Tang family, rescued a few of the exiled old guys of the Tang family, and said hello to Yi Renli, so that Yi Renli, who had already controlled Changchuan Yi, drove the bunch of guys who did not give up on Changchuan Yi's side out of Changchuan with some people and horses, and met with the old guys of the Tang family, all of whom were lost dogs, all of whom had been in power, and they all wanted to restore their former glory. Although he couldn't pry Tang Wu's throne, it didn't cause him much trouble, and after the Huzhou incident, the imperial court finally gave up the delusion of the Tang family's obedience, and placed heavy troops in Dingzhou, which was close to the Tang family, to monitor and suppress the Tang family's every move, but Tang Wu was obviously very calm, and he didn't mean to act rashly, and he didn't know what he was waiting for.

In the spring of another year, due to the prosperity of agriculture, industry and commerce, and the abundant treasury, Wen Zhen strengthened the city wall of Huzhou, and the state army drilled, and defeated the border armies near Dingding and Ping. At the same time, he took the opportunity of the drill to sweep away the giant bandits who had been entrenched on the side of Dingzhou for many years in one fell swoop.

The group of giant bandits in Dingzhou, when Wen Zhen was trapped in Jiuqulin, the Huzhou army went to the rescue, but was stopped by the Dingzhou army's royal order, and then the group of giant bandits made a mess in Dingzhou, and forced the Dingzhou army to retreat, which was equivalent to indirectly helping Wen Zhen. Afterwards, when Mao Wanren and Wen Zhen talked about the incident, they sighed at the coincidence, and it happened that the Dingzhou bandits rushed under the Dingzhou city gate at that time.

Wen Zhen didn't think there would be such a coincidence in the world. Just as the Dingzhou Army happened to stop in front of the Huzhou Army that day, Yan Jue's Wang Ling was obviously here to investigate her, how did it become a detour to Jiuqulin to block the road? Who tampered with the royal decree? Thinking of that day, before going to ask for rain, I heard the guards around Yan Jue talk about her punching the flying steel knife, and the flying steel knife with one punch was done in Yinglan Villa, in order to save Su Xun, at that time, Yan Jue was not in Yinglan Villa at all, only Tang Xianzhi and his mysterious ally were there. She guessed that Tang Xianzhi later withdrew, but the Tang family did not completely stop, and Tang Xianzhi's mysterious allies colluded with the rest of the Tang family's principals and continued to be demons in Huzhou. And the guard beside Yan Jue who knew about the accident of Yinglan Villa was obviously the person of this mysterious person, who tampered with the royal order and transferred the Dingzhou army.

Since the Dingzhou army was arranged, then the giant bandits are likely to be arranged, she investigated afterwards and found that after that incident, the Tang family once again went through an internal baptism, and a group of old guys were completely exiled, obviously the defeat in Huzhou was the reason why the old men lost power, so who got the benefit from it, is who commanded the giant bandits to spoil the other party's good deeds.

She had mixed feelings.

Tang Xianzhi is indeed a person who is very good at weighing the pros and cons.

Even if it is an enemy of life and death, as long as it is beneficial to his great cause, he does not care about saving it.

secretly commanded the giant bandits, surrounded Wei to rescue Zhao, forced back the Dingzhou army, and made the Huzhou army rush to Jiuqulin in time, and the old army was annihilated, and the old strength could no longer compete with him, and the Tang family was in his hands from then on. Huzhou, he didn't want it.

Wen Zhen didn't want to think about whether Tang Wu was mainly to save her in this matter, or mainly to take power for himself, after all, in terms of pros and cons, solving her once and for all was really beneficial to the Tang family in the long run, she didn't believe that Tang Wu couldn't see this.

Count her hard-heartedness, it's better to owe a little less.

It's just that some are still owed.

After Wen Zhen, who owed the favor, understood this matter, he immediately wrote to the imperial court to ask Sanzhou to conduct a drill, and took the opportunity to destroy the giant bandit's nest.

What are you kidding, such a powerful force, in the name of bandits, is actually completely a rebel force entrenched on the side of Huzhou, in case your Tang family gets into trouble, this army can break into Dingzhou and Huzhou in a blink of an eye, I can still sleep?

It's just that she seems to be a step slower after all, when she went to suppress the bandits, there were only more than 1,000 bandits in the old nest, although it was not a few, but it seemed to be a lot less than what she had explored before.

Tang Wu is cunning and sharp after all.

She wasn't very worried, either.

The shortage of 30,000 soldiers in Huzhou has been filled. The grain reserves of Fengbao warehouse are full, the armory has been replaced with the latest batch of ordnance, and the armament of the Huzhou army is also complete.

If there is wind and rain, do not fear the invasion.

It was also in the spring of this year, after several obstructions, Endless Heaven finally practiced a furnace of medicine, a total of seven, the medicine is violent, with Yan Sui's poisoned body, it is impossible to bear it at one time, and the first few pills need someone to protect the Dharma on the side, and introduce it into the body refining with internal force, it takes at least three months to refine one, and the longer it may take to go forward, so Endless Heaven started with Yan Sui's senior brother, and everyone took turns to arrange shifts and start detoxification.

At the turn of spring and summer of this year, smallpox plague was rampant in several cities in the south, and countless deaths and injuries were killed and injured in several surrounding states. The news spread to Huzhou, almost as soon as the first cases appeared in Pingding and the second prefecture, Wen Zhen immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, set up barricades, did not allow the people of the surrounding states to carry out any contacts, cut off communication with the surrounding places, all officials and officials at all levels canceled the rest of the bath, took turns on the streets to preach health regulations, required families to smoke wormwood, go out to cover their mouths and noses, avoid contact with people, go home and wash their hands, all ferry ports and docks are not allowed to get off the boat, stay on the ship for half a month before getting off the boat, and set up a special medical office in the city, Sick patients are provided with medicine and treated free of charge. A series of support measures have also been urgently issued in response to the current situation to help poor and small artisans and related operators tide over the difficulties and recover their losses.

And Huzhou since the rest of the street renovation of dilapidated houses, the streets are much cleaner, no longer allow spitting and littering and other behaviors, Huzhou people are also under the guidance of the Thorn Shi Lord, accustomed to drinking hot water, eating cooked food and washing more, hygiene habits have always been better than elsewhere, in addition, the artificial lake of Wenzhen reserve also came in handy at this time, livestock unified in the water source of circulation and the outside world to drink, the people use artificial lake water. In case infected livestock contaminate human water sources.

Huzhou City's various measures are resolute and ruthless. In particular, the closing of city gates, the setting up of barricades, and the refusal of the surrounding people to flee to visit relatives were once criticized. After all, the people of Huzhou have a family of three relatives and two relatives, most of them are scattered in the surrounding cities, the local plague occurs, naturally to flee to the surrounding areas, Huzhou is the best, all rushed to Huzhou, but encountered a heavy army guard, under the city gate, every day there are people crying and wailing, cursing, that is, the people of Huzhou themselves, are inevitably sad and unbearable, crying and begging in front of the door of the Shifu every day, over time, there are many resentful and cursing. But no matter how the people pleaded, the gate of the Assassin's Mansion was closed, Wen Zhen would never let go, even if someone sued the court, the Yushitai impeached her for being cruel-minded, not saving her when she saw death, without the affection of her colleagues, and without the virtue of a good life, she folded her guilt, but still did not open the city gate.

Later, in the neighboring Dingping two states of the most severe disaster, the two states of the assassin Shi knew that the responsibility was heavy and was about to hang, Huzhou suddenly opened the city gate, Huzhou sent the best doctors and doctors screened out by the power of the whole state, medical care, with the power of the whole state to collect the right medicine, to the two states of the most serious disaster to support the rescue, the leader, is Huzhou Thorn Shi himself.

When Wen Zhen led a long convoy and appeared outside the Huzhou City Gate, all the wailing, cursing, impeachment, and resentment disappeared in an instant.

People watched as the female assassin Shi personally ran to the place of death, and they all hung their heads silently.

It was also in this smallpox epidemic that Wen Zhen first recommended the method of planting pox. In fact, this method has been proposed before, but no one dares to try it, and it is the female stabbing history who takes the lead and inhales a small amount of powder from the patient's scab. She had a fever for a few days, and people spent several days in a state of anxiety and silence, and Zhang Yue, who insisted on following her, stayed awake day and night, until one morning when the fever subsided, and the cheers of the entire Dingzhou City resounded through the sky.

Two months later, the epidemic was brought under control, but in the end, the two states were not lightly injured. But sandwiched between the two states of Huzhou, but miraculously none of the deaths, Wen Zhen returned to the city on the day, the people welcomed the road, countless gifts, looking at the history of the thorn that lost a large circle, Huzhou fathers knelt on the ground and wept, countless scholars worked hard to write books, one day to write all the splendid chapters, seeking to be the history of the thorn through the ages. The news reached the imperial court, and the performance appraisal at the end of the year was still up, and the title was moved to another level. and promoted Zhang Yue to another driver.

When Wen Zhen returned to Huzhou from Dingzhou, he found that among the adopted children, the youngest casually had already become king. However, he modestly claimed to be just a military advisor, and let a seven-year-old eldest and strongest child be the boss, and the boss helped him grab the canteen, grab food, fold quilts, fetch water, wash socks, write homework, and copy books on his behalf every day......

Wen Zhen has been in Huzhou for nearly three years, and Huzhou's annual tax payment is more than twice that of previous years, and because of the strong water conservancy management and good harvest, the actual tax is lower than in previous years, and the people's lives are much richer. However, the officials did not dare to be corrupt, the officials worked diligently, all industries prospered, the cities were clean and orderly, the armaments were thorough and safe, the government decrees were smooth and smooth, and the legal system was strict and perfect.

Therefore, gradually there was a rumor that several old ministers in the court had the intention of telling the old man, and then they wanted to summon Lord Wen back to the center, and the local experience was enough to prove her ability, and the next thing was to enter the cabinet. This is also the proper meaning of the question, the people listened, both happy for the adults, but also reluctant to give up, after all, Wen Zhen is such a capable official, who knows what kind of virtue is another assassin? After a few good years, who wants to go back to the misery of the previous years? It's just that the adults come or go, after all, it is in the will of the court, and the people can't say anything.

It was the turn of autumn and winter of this year, and Yan Sui, who had just taken the second pill and had not had time to finish refining, was expected to wake up after refining, and opened his eyes in advance. Regardless of the obstacles, he left the Endless Sky that night.

But Yan Sui failed to return to Huzhou directly.

Autumn was particularly short, and winter seemed to come early, and the frost on the tips of the long grass was still unresolved, and the first snow was already on the verge of falling.

Wen Zhen sat in front of the hall, looking at the little bean ding in front of him, it was rare to take a break today, and he wanted to sleep lazily, but early in the morning, he heard that there was a group fight.

In order to protect the casual children, the Assassin Mansion adopted seven or eight orphans, and then set up a special school in order to facilitate the children to go to school, which is also a great hidden reason in the city, and it is also to let the children contact the ordinary environment from an early age, integrate with the children of ordinary people, and adapt to the life of ordinary people's children. The school is open to the outside world, and the children of the surrounding people and gentry can also be sent, but they have been safe and sound, why did they suddenly fight today?

------Off topic------

In the timeline of the past few years, Wen Zhen and Yan Sui are explained in parallel.
