"May I ask the abbot, why do you recommend going to Guanyin County?" Jing Yi also asked.

The sweeping monk stopped, held the broom, and said with a smile: "The county magistrate of Guanyin County, unconditionally accept the victims in Shangzhou. Now, as long as the victims of the disaster can't survive, they have the strength to go to Guanyin County, and it is said that they have fled to Guanyin County......"

Jing Yi didn't speak, his long eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Some time ago, the secret letter he received revealed that Guanyin County, which was subordinate to Shangzhou, had secrets, and reminded him to pay attention to the person Duan Yiming in the county. However, it is not mentioned that it is the prefectural order to unconditionally accept this information from the victims.

The sweeping monk also talked a lot, so he simply sat down on the stone bench and told the two of them about Guanyin County.

In the past, when Shangzhou was in a famine every year, countless people starved to death, and the prefectures and counties in Shangzhou could only go in and out of the disaster because they could not afford it. Many refugees had to flee the famine with their families to neighboring Yannan.

But since a year ago, the county order of Naguanyin County is said to have begun to accept any refugees unconditionally, and as long as they pass, they will have food and work.

Luck was in their village, someone happened to know the news. So the young people all ran to Guanyin County.

But people in other places may not know that everyone is still accustomed to running to nearby prefectures and counties, and the best choice is generally to go to the capital of Shangzhou. After all, the relief food of the imperial court was distributed from the capital city.

Hao Se and Jing Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of profundity, they glanced at each other, and after thanking the sweeping monks, they also went to make porridge and ran to the group of old, weak, sick and disabled refugees. Following their example, he squatted on the ground with a big grin and drank the porridge loudly.

Several elderly villagers looked at the strangely good-looking two and accosted each other.

"Young man, why don't you go to Guanyin County." A skinny old woman, looking at the bowl that had been drunk, stroked her still flat and shriveled belly, and sighed helplessly, "The old woman wants to go, but it's a pity that ......"

"Yes, the young people in our village have passed." A blind old lady shook her thin hand and touched the bowl to make sure that there were no more rice grains left.

"It's a pity that our village didn't know before, and I only learned the news from my relatives in the next county this year, no, everyone went, and a few of our old things were inconvenient, so we could only ask for some porridge to eat in this temple, and I didn't know how many days we could last." The lame old man licked the bottom of the bowl, rolled the rice grains into his mouth one by one, and smashed his mouth with a sigh of relief.

"If you want me to say, don't go." A black-faced old man put down the bowl and frowned.

Jing Yi glanced at him in surprise and asked, "Uncle, why do you say this?" ”

The black-faced old man's eight-character eyebrows trembled, and he said angrily: "In the past, every year of the disaster, I didn't see Guanyin County accept people, it's not that the government doesn't care, but the government can't control it at all." This Guanyin County suddenly accepted refugees unconditionally, although I am a farmer, but my family also has scholars, and my old man is still a little braincase. ”

"Lao Hei, isn't that scholar from your distant relative's family, and he seems to be his own son." The blind wife pursed her lips, this old black, put gold on her face.

The old man choked, looked at everyone's disdainful expressions, was a little unconvinced, and said with a stiff neck: "You think, there are nine counties in Shangzhou, and the other counties are all better than Guanyin County." That Guanyin County, poor mountains and bad waters, is a bunch of mountains. Why are you so bold as to accept the victims? ”

Everyone was stunned and thought about it, as if Lao Hei had a point.

"Why?" The thin lady asked.

Lao Hei glanced at everyone and hesitated.

"Lao Hei, as soon as you say it, I think of it, I also have a distant relative in the next county, the last time I went to their house, I heard from the relatives that the young people who left the village went to Guanyin County, and never came back, I heard that working there, silver is much more cost-effective than planting crops."

Lao Hei glanced at the man and said angrily: "Then have you heard of anyone who has seen those people who are working?" ”

The man was stunned and touched his head.

Like, it's not.

After those young people went to Guanyin County, they never came back, nor did they give their families a little money, but soon after they went to Guanyin County, they sent a letter to their hometown, reported the situation, and reassured their families, saying that they would earn a few years of silver, enough to marry a daughter-in-law and come back.

"That's right, Lao Hei, the youngest son of your distant relatives has been smart since he was a child, and I heard that he took the imperial examination a few years ago, and later became an official in which county office, is it true?" A villager spoke.

Lao Hei sighed: "That's right, my eldest nephew is a county magistrate in Guanyin County." ”

Jing Yi, who had been listening quietly, suddenly spoke: "Uncle, can you ask, what is the name of your nephew who is a county prince?" ”

As soon as the old black body was upright, there had been a weak voice, and suddenly it brightened, and he replied with a very face: "Duan Yiming." ”

Jing Yi's eyes flashed slightly, and he was shocked and surprised.

Duan Yiming, Duan Yiming mentioned in the secret letter.

In fact, when he received the secret letter, he asked people to check Duan Yiming from the official files registered in the imperial court.

This person is said to be very good at reading, and he is the first in the county examination, the prefectural examination and the children's examination. In the hospital test, he won the first place, and then won the Xie Yuan of the Shangzhou Township Test.

The future is bright, and everyone thinks that he will continue to participate in the general examination, and even the palace examination. This kind of talent who has won the "yuan" several times in a row can be regarded as outstanding. With his talent, the tribute ten is very stable.

Maybe, in the follow-up palace examination, you can still win the champion or explore the flower or something.

It's just that, unexpectedly, after Duan Yiming learned about the Yuan in Zhongzhong, he first went to the capital city of Shangzhou and became a clerk under Lord Zhizhou.

Later, he went to Guanyin County and went to the county. According to the regulations of the current dynasty, people can be exempted from examination and appointment in county-level departments.

After serving as the county governor, he worked diligently and assisted the county commander to take good care of Guanyin County.

And in the people's comments, Duan Yiming is also praised.

The common people said that he was handsome and personable; Humble and gentlemanly; Be honest and honest as an official, and dedicate oneself to public service. Coupled with his talent and adulthood, Duan Yiming is in Guanyin County, and he is simply a model of a male god for everyone.

In the county, and even in the state, how many rich families want to marry him. It's just that for some reason, Duan Yiming politely excused himself. The rich families were not angry, and secretly sighed that such a son-in-law would naturally not be buried in a small place like Guanyin County for the rest of his life, and he would definitely make a big difference in the future.

It's just that among the information found, the only thing that is not very reasonable is that it is said that Duan Yiming is in a hurry to control the power and seems to have set the county order in the air.

However, Lord County was his best friend when he was studying at Yue Li Academy, and Duan Yiming had always taken good care of this classmate.

He thought it was strange at the time, so he asked Fei Yuwei, who went to Shangzhou, to secretly investigate Duan Yiming again. It's just a pity that the Fei Yuwei sent over disappeared after entering the Shangzhou capital city.

Jing Yi glanced at Hao Se, and the two of them knocked on the side of everyone again, but they didn't ask any more valuable information about Duan Yiming.

At first, he thought that Lao Hei knew the inside story, but after temptation, he was a little disappointed to find that Lao Hei was indeed just a farmer, and he could give birth to those thoughts, just because he felt that his family had produced a capable person, and he thought that his braincase was better than others, and he was self-conscious.

Hao Se tilted his head, thought for a moment, and began to chat again.

"That aunt, what are those girls doing just now?"
