Chapter 221: All on the stage
Liyang County originally belonged to Huainan County, in 304 A.D. Jin Chamber divided Liyang County and Wujiang County, the two counties became a single county, for Liyang County. Liyang County leans on the big river on the left, controls the natural danger Zhaoguan on the right, relies on Tianmen Liangshan in the east, and the water of Haochu in the north ring, and enjoys the gift of heaven exclusively in its geographical location.
From the south to the north into Huainan, Liyang is the only way to pass, so as to have the saying of 'Huainan's domain'. Of course, from the north to the south, Liyang is also the first to rush, so it is also the 'barrier of the south of the Yangtze River'.
Such a place of north-south transit should be extremely prosperous.
However, when Liu Nong and Yuan Tan walked side by side in Liyang County, they were shocked by what they saw. Even if Liu Nong had been prepared before entering Jiangbei, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
This is the county seat of Liyang?
The gray-brown city was dilapidated, the potholed streets were full of sewage, and everywhere there were piles of rags lying on the ground, and Yuan's tribe stepped forward and kicked them, and after a while the piles of rags squirmed, they showed numb and dazed faces.
The shops on both sides of the street were listlessly open, and from time to time people came in and out, and occasionally someone could be seen pulling a child into the shop, and the manager of the shop handed over a palm-sized piece of dried meat, or a few five-plant coins.
The child stood in the doorway, tilting his head to watch his family leave, his eyes not moving, his lips squirming twice. The entourage in the shop came over, and the "snap" slapped down, and the child held his face, did not cry, and silently followed him.
Guo Pu frowned and said: "According to the law of Jin, slave trafficking needs to go through the public office grass market, this is a private dealer, why can't you help it?" ”
Yuan Tan raised his eyebrows and said: "Killing endlessly, what does it mean to forbid it?" ”
Walking further in, the black crowd blocked the road, Yuan Wuqu pulled out his waist knife, and shouted at the crowd, the crowd dispersed like water, and ran to the tree, hid in the corner, hid in the grass, and looked at Liu Nong and his party with a pair of strange eyes.
"Immortal ......"
"Immortals, too, in dreams, can solve suffering......"
When Liu Nong walked past a group of kneeling people, someone raised his head to look at him, his eyes were struggling with pain, Liu Nong squinted, this person was extremely dirty, and his face was covered by a layer of black, which could not be distinguished from oil stains or dust. But on his head he clearly wore a Confucian crown, although the Confucian crown was tattered and tattered, like a bird's nest, but it was still upright.
"Alas!"
Yuan Tan sighed, he wanted to make fun of Liu Nong, but it was really difficult to export, and he said abruptly: "This is a new homeless person, the battle of Yuzhou stretches for thousands of miles, and Liyang accepts more than 10,000 homeless people, and it is already unbearable." ”
Guo Pu looked at the crowd around him, his brows furrowed more and more, and he said in a deep voice: "When I entered the city, I saw countless barren fields, why didn't I farm?" ”
A Yuan Tan scribe shook his head and sighed: "People's hearts float, and they don't farm." ”
Hearing this, the corners of Yuan Tan's mouth cracked, looked at Liu Nong, and deliberately asked, "Zhan Zhen, do you know why?" ”
Liu Nong said: "There must be two, first, the barren land has the owner, and second, the people are afraid that the spring will sow seeds, and the autumn has fled, so they do not plant." ”
"Yes, come with me."
Yuan Tan smiled indifferently, rolled up the sleeves of his robe, and strode away.
The 100 Yuan clans were divided into two teams, one team was in the front with knives in the crowd, and the other team was in the back looking around from time to time, all with cautious expressions. Guo Pu couldn't help but asked again, "Why take precautions?" Could it be that the grass people dare to go against the grain? ”
The scribe glanced at Guo Pu coldly, and asked instead of answering: "Do you know that the previous lord Bo and the warden died at whose hands?" ”
"Could it be ......" Guo Pu looked stunned, and slowly turned his head to look at the crowd of people wandering around behind him, and suddenly, he felt that those numb faces changed in an instant, turning into devouring beasts and pounced.
Guo Pu shook all over his body and struck a thrill.
The scribe smiled disdainfully, and said lightly: "Don't be surprised, that was a year ago, since my family Langjun came here, no one dares to rebel." ”
Guo Pu looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's strange, Wang Chuhong is the county guard of Liyang, but he lives in Yuzhangyao Town and does not come. Here, it's almost barbarian! ”
At this time, a group of people came on the street, afraid that there would be hundreds, and all of them were bound with knives.
The person at the head was wearing a wide brocade robe, holding a yellow haired deer, and when he saw Yuan Tan, the man greeted him quickly, waved his hand and said, "I've seen it, Yuan Dianchen." ”
Yuan Tan returned the salute indifferently, and did not say a word, and when he was already a hundred steps away from this group of people, Yuan Tan looked at Guo Pu, and suddenly asked Liu Nong: "Zhan Zhen can know, who is the person who is suitable and where is he going?" ”
"It should be a local scholar, go to the place where Fang just passed, and encircle slaves."
"However, the people, lying on the street, swimming in the alley, not thinking about planting, enclosing them as slaves, this is the next policy, but it has to be done. Five years ago, Fang Cai was just a dilapidated merchant, but now he is sitting on 5,000 hectares of fertile land, all of which are private property and have not been reported. Yuan Tan opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and the county sergeant clan also competed to encircle the land and bully the slaves, and the chaos was like waves. And stay for three years, three years later, hehe......"
Yuan Tan smiled, squeezed his eyebrows at Liu Nong, stretched out his right hand again, and indifferently swiped it on the palm of his left hand.
Liu Nong's eyes shrank, but the worry in his heart suddenly decreased, and he smiled back at Yuan Tan.
Just now, he has been worrying about Yuan Tan, but now he knows that Yuan Tan is not what he used to be, first accumulate prestige, then calm the people, divide the forces, and slowly try to make other days, the advance and retreat are already grounded, and there are priorities, Yuan Tan has thrown himself into the water and stirred up the water.
Passing through the north of the city and coming to the south of the city, the front of me suddenly opened up.
A group of well-dressed men were mending the streets, and some people were walking around, pointing from time to time, arguing that they should belong to the county officials. Seeing Yuan Tan waving his hands one after another, Yuan Tan nodded silently and returned the salute.
Take a detour to the south wall of the city.
At a glance, my heart suddenly opened, but I saw that the city wall was full of people, and there was a rush up and down, and there were bursts of shouting from time to time.
A group of people came to the five-zhang high city wall, standing in the wind, Yuan Tan pointed to the east, and said with a smile: "This city, in the past, was destroyed under Hu Qi, last year, this wall is only zhang high, the city gate does not exist, and the wall stone is hidden in weeds." The first thing Yuan Tan did when he arrived here was to rebuild this wall. ”
Guo Pu asked, "Where did the servant come from?" ”
Yuan Tan put his hands behind his back, smiled and said nothing, Liu Nong also had the heart to study this weak Guo Pu, and asked rhetorically: "According to the opinion of joining the army, where should you come from?" ”
Where does it come from? Guo Pu raised his eyebrows, stroked three strands of black beard, looked left and right for a while, his eyes suddenly froze, as if he had gained, and said with a smile: "If Guo Pu's expectations are correct, the servants are all from the local scholars." ”
Yuan Tanwen said: "According to the law of Jin, every summer and winter is a service, this is spring, and there is no service to be issued." After thinking about it, he added: "The grain stored in the county is not enough to accommodate the displaced people, so the displaced people do not obey." ”
Guo Pu smiled: "What's so difficult about this, but the law is hidden, and the service is changed." ”
"Haha......"
Hearing this, Yuan Tan and Liu Nong laughed together, and the two exchanged letters all year round.
The two walked to a walled building, and Liu Nong said softly: "Yan Dao, Jiangbei is very different from Jiangnan, and it is also forced by the times to do this, however, Liyang is close to Jiangnan after all, and I am afraid of provoking criticism, can you think of a way to deal with it?" ”
Yuan Tan looked at the hot Siye and said coldly: "If you want to succeed, you must lose." Zhan Zhen doesn't need to worry about Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan has already planned. After a pause, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Zhan Zhen, although Yuan Tan lives in Jiangbei, however, he has also heard the joy of Jun, my younger brother and sister are the pride of Wu County, Jiangzuo paints the soul, hiss......es"
At this point, he let out a long hiss, and sighed: "Yuan Tan often thinks, what kind of girl should she be, she can be worthy of Zhan Zhen." Zhan Zhen, can there be a portrait of a younger brother and sister? ”
"Yan Dao, why are you making fun of Liu Nong!" Liu Nong shook it halfway, the corners of his mouth rose, and he suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Before leaving, Wuyi repeatedly asked me to ask Yan Dao about it. ”
Yuan Tan said: "What's the matter? ”
Liu Nong Zhengse said: "Wu Yi asked, when will Yan Dao get married, and he will conclude a marriage with Yan Dao." As he spoke, his face sank, and he sighed: "Alas, you can know that Wu Yi has promised after getting drunk that if he gets a woman in the future, if Liu Nong has a man, he should be married." Bitter, bitter ......" shook his head again and again.
"Huh?!"
"Haha......"
Yuan Tan was stunned, laughed, patted Liu Nong's shoulder violently, swallowed it in one breath, couldn't go along with it, and gasped: "Zhan, Zhan, Jun, Jun is also a joke, this, this move is ......"
Liu Nong smiled: "What is this move? ”
The smile on Yuan Tan's face couldn't be contained, and he said in a strange way: "This move is like a resentful girl who has not yet been out of the boudoir!" Not for you, not for you......" laughed forward and leaned back, and the laughter came loudly.
Liu Nong smiled, but there was distress on his face, what Xie Yi said after he was drunk was not false, after waking up, he still emphasized again and again that the two of them made an appointment, no matter what the future is, and they will never live up to their promises in the future, therefore, Liu Nong's heart was full of sorrow: Could it be that my son will marry Xie Daoyunhu?! Well, son, good fate, father Bo fame and son inheritance, get a thousand strange women......
After a while, Yuan Tan straightened up, looked at the sky, patted his head, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot something, Zhan Zhen, and come with me!" ”
Liu Nong said: "Where are you going?" ”
Yuan Tan shook his sleeves, pointed to the inside and outside of the city wall without looking back, and said loudly: "Could it be that you think, and this is the wind of Jiangbei?" Come, come, Yuan Tan will take you to appreciate it, appreciate ......"
The wind of Jiangbei!
Then enter the city and go to the east of the city.
Along the way, Yuan Tan's footsteps were fast, and Liu Nong suddenly found that he had abandoned his clogs and was wearing Gaobang steps. During the march, with the wind and spirit, between the eyebrows, there is more perseverance. passed in a hurry, not to mention Xie Yi or Yuan Tan, the people around him are changing, that is, Zu Sheng, who lives in Guangzhou, is no longer the carefree boy who used to play in the water and grab eggs, and he is about to go north.
Yingjie, all on the stage.
Lanterns, diagonally hung cornices.
Yuan Tan and Liu Nong came to the lantern side by side, Yuan Tan raised his head, pointed to the lantern and said with a smile: "Once you enter here, you can give up the prosperity and abandon your worries." ”
At the same time, Guanglingdu.
Huan Wen stepped down from the towering warship and looked back at the south bank, but saw the red sun hanging down the river, sprinkling the ocean, while Jiangnan was lying quietly in the smoke and clouds, accompanied by ten thousand rays of light, showing a beautiful posture.
The rivers and mountains are picturesque, and people can't help but let out a soft groan.
The attendant on his side said: "Lang Jun, do you want to enter the city?" ”
Huan Wen looked at Jiang Nan, his eyes were confused, and he was silent.
He raised his voice and called, "Lang Jun!! ”
Huan Wen's expression was shocked, he let out a long breath, a strange thought drilled back and forth in his chest, and he couldn't help but walk to the riverside, straighten his chest and stomach, and let out a long roar on the other side of the river. (To be continued.) )
