After knowing her life experience, Yin Ji had no energy for several days.

She always thought that she couldn't be regarded as the princess of Zhaoguo, but now she has taken on this identity in vain, and every time the palace people and temple people call her a princess, she is ashamed.

But soon, Yin Ji cheered up, because she sensed that a large group of people appeared in front of her.

Yin Ji swept away her spiritual power, and found that among the hundreds of people, the person in charge was actually a twenty-seven or eight-year-old woman with a gentle appearance, so she asked Biao Wanzi: "Among the twelve surnames in Fan County, which one is the woman in charge?" ”

Yin Ji didn't know anything about Fanjun's Haoqiang, and he didn't care.

The reason why she went to Fan County was just to hear Liu He mention the water and soil conditions of Fan County by chance, and felt that it was unusually barren, and suspected that the local salt might be produced, so she went over to see if her guess was true.

Among the seven kingdoms in the world, only the Chen country, which is close to the sea, is not short of salt, but the group of ministers and nobles monopolized the business of making and selling salt, and set the price of salt extremely high, and a pound of salt can be exchanged for hundreds of catties of grain. Not to mention ordinary people, even the families of small landlords could not afford to eat it, so they could only eat salted fish smuggled by merchants.

Yin Ji didn't care, but she mentioned it to Wanzi, Liu He and others, and said that she wanted to go to Fanjun to have a look. Liu He inquired about the local situation in Fan County and informed Biao Wanzi. Therefore, at this moment, Biao Wanzi is like a few family treasures: "Naturally, it is the Lei family with the first twelve surnames, the head of the Lei family is gone a few years ago, and the son is still young, it is his widow Lei Yang who supports the entire Fan family." ”

Although Biao Wanzi doesn't look down on the local heroes, there is a hint of admiration for Fan Yang's family between the lines.

Yin Ji walked around the way, and also learned a little about the real situation of this era, and knew that orphans and widows are generally the targets of bullying. Especially in the environment of the clan, and it is a border, if a man is not strong, he may be eaten alive, let alone a woman?

Don't think that blood relatives are closer, sometimes your own family members deal with your own family, and they are more vicious than the enemy.

Fan Yang's ability to take charge of the entire Fan family with a weak body must be outstanding.

Yin Ji pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Since the Lei family is the head of the twelve surnames, then they are the heroes of Chen County?" ”

Biao Wanzi's jaw: "Exactly." ”

Cinnabar has a nickname, called "cinnabar", for a very simple reason - the top cinnabar production place is Chenguo in Rongzhou in the southwest.

Although the Kingdom of Chen has long disappeared in the long river of history and has become an important city of the State of Fan, the State of Fan was also captured by the State of Zhao, and the country was changed to a county, and Chen County became the county of Fan County, and the former Kingdom of Chen has long been not even a shadow left. But over the centuries, "cinnabar" has long replaced "cinnabar" as another name for this ore.

The local people may still shout in cinnabar, but in the official documents, they all use "cinnabar" as the official name.

Yin Ji remembered that in the palace of King Zhao, the lacquerware used by the king, the queen mother and her, as well as the paintings and paints of the palace, many of them were made of cinnabar.

I also know that this consumption is not small.

Yin Ji thought about it for a while and knew that Lei Yang must have a request for her: "Please come over." ”

Biao Wanzi understood, immediately bowed, respectfully retreated, and went to find Rong Shang.

Rong Shang had already ordered the soldiers to line up at this time, holding bows, although there were only ten people with him this time, but he was more confident than thousands of troops behind him, because he didn't believe that there was any problem that the princess couldn't solve.

Therefore, he made the adjutant general shout: "Who is coming!" ”

The team in front of them immediately stopped, and after a while, everyone dismounted, and a middle-aged man stood up and said, "Fan County guards the thunder, and I have come to see the princess." ”

Biao Wanzi had come to Rong Shang's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Rong Shang understood, also dismounted, got a little closer to Lei Dong, saw the black ribbon copper seal on the other party's waist, and after making sure that this person's identity was not fake, he made a half-salute.

Lei Dong was a little flattered, and hurriedly replied with a half-salute.

Yin Ji "saw" this scene, and probably understood Lei Dong's status, and by the way, she also knew the general situation of Fan County.

It is nothing more than Haoqiang becoming bigger, and officials and Haoqiang are not the same as each other, or rubber stamps. Looking at Lei Dong's appearance, even if it is not the latter, it is not far away.

But it's no wonder that thunder is moving.

is also the guardian of a county, and he and Liu He can't be compared at all.

The county guard power of Zhao is already large, and in order to make Minjun change from Qianli Ze country to Tianfu country as soon as possible, the three successive Zhao kings do not allow all other external factors to interfere with the county guard's water control. The state of almost complete decentralization of Minjun is not an exaggeration to say that the county guard is the local emperor.

For the big and small officials of Minjun, Liu He even has the power to cut first and then play, as long as he explains it afterwards, and the reason is reasonable, King Zhao will not say a word, whether it is the first king or Yin Changying.

Of course, the premise is that the water must be effectively controlled, otherwise you will fall to the ground!

But Fan Jun...... Only when the king of Zhao and the ministers ordered Fan County to offer cinnabar and dansha (i.e., mercury) would they remember that there was such a place in Zhaoguo, and at other times, they simply ignored it, and even conscription and conscription would not come to this poor country.

As long as these local heroes in Fan County do not rebel, and they can hand over the cinnabar and dansha in full, no matter how they are powerful in Fan County, the court will not ask.

Fan County even appointed the county guard very casually, often the previous county guard before his death, thinking that so-and-so could take over my position, and King Zhao directly approved it.

That's how the position of the thunderous county guard came about.

His cousin, the previous head of the Lei family, was on his deathbed and recommended Lei Dong, who was the county commander of Chen County at the time, as the county guard.

Because of this, Lei Dong must accept his cousin's affection, and when something happens to the Lei clan, he will unconditionally stand on the side of his younger sister Lei Yang.

This time, an official document was sent from Minjun first, saying that the princess would come to Fanjun to worship the mountains and rivers.

And Lei Yang's well-informed family had long heard that the princess had a miracle, so they invited Lei Dong to a banquet, hoping that he could go hundreds of miles out of the city to greet the princess.

Lei Dong's qualifications are mediocre, and when he was the county commander of Chen County, he was his cousin's echo worm; When his cousin died, he became a county guard, and he was the echo worm of his younger sister Lei Yang.

Hearing Lei Yang say this, he immediately pulled out the entire county guarding the yamen, as well as the officials of the Chen County yamen, large and small, up and down. Since Lei Yang's family was also coming, he simply asked everyone to bring Xijun with him, and hurried slowly, driving for more than half a month and walking more than 200 miles before he met the princess's car head-on.

He played a drum in his heart, because Fan Jun had never welcomed such a nobleman, who expected Rong Shang to have a kind attitude: "Uncle Fang doesn't have to be so polite, you came at the right time, the princess has a boring journey, and I want to find someone to talk to relieve my boredom, I don't know if your relatives can accompany you?" ”
