this day.

Lu Zheng and Liu Qingfeng, who had been obsessed with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, finally came out of the customs, and they came to the other courtyard to find Li Changan.

Liu Qingfeng opened his mouth and said, "City Lord, we have to go back to Xijiang County for a while, resign from our original job and come back." ”

"That's as it should be." Li Changan nodded and was directly approved.

On the side, Xiao Yue'er said: "If you are not in a hurry, why don't you go to Xijiang County with me in two days?" ”

Lu Zheng pondered for a moment, "Two days later...... You can also. ”

Li Changan raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "Yue'er, are you also preparing for Xijiang County?" ”

Xiao Yue'er nodded and said: "In five days, there will be the Autumn Poetry Festival in Xijiang County, and there will be many young ladies and sons who will participate, and dealing with them can pave the way for future business, and there are still a lot of benefits." ”

Autumn Poetry Meeting?

Li Changan suddenly showed an interested look.

Among the four seasons of the year, spring and autumn are undoubtedly the most popular seasons, and after experiencing the cold of winter, they prefer the warmth of spring, and after experiencing the heat of summer, they are more attached to the freshness of autumn.

Autumn is high and cool, it is the season of tourism, but also the harvest season, it is understandable to hold a poetry meeting for the autumn, it seems that people from other worlds are still very good at playing.

He was immediately moved, and said, "Go to Xijiang County in two days, count me in." ”

"The lord of the castle is also going to go?" Xiao Yue'er was stunned.

An Zhaoran's eyes lit up suddenly, she had been in the border city for so long, to be honest, she was a little boring, and she also wanted to go out to play.

Li Changan nodded and said, "Well, I'm going to dig up the people in the county seat...... Ahem, learn the merits of the county. ”

"Then the slave will go and prepare." After traveling more, the nature of the city lord is naturally different, Xiao Yue'er and Xiaohe immediately prepared solemnly.

Li Changan shouted to Liu Qingfeng and pulled him to a hidden corner.

asked in a low voice: "Qingfeng, are you familiar with the music of the Goolan in Xijiang County?" ”

Liu Qingfeng immediately turned pale and said solemnly: "City Lord, don't you slander people's innocence, I am a scholar, how can I be familiar with that kind of fireworks land?" ”

"If it's not cooked, forget it, I originally wanted to give you a task, and reward you with a pot of autumn dew after the deed." Li Changan shook his head regretfully.

Liu Qingfeng's expression immediately moved, "The city lord might as well say something first, I might as well be able to help." ”

"There is a place to listen to music in the border city, I want you to go to the county town to dig people, but since you are not familiar with it, then this matter can only be stopped for the time being."

"Dig ...... Digging people? ”

Liu Qingfeng couldn't believe his ears and was shocked.

I didn't expect the city lord to play so wildly, and even the people who hooked the fence wanted to dig it, which was so crazy.

However, as soon as he thought of Qiu Lubai, Liu Qingfeng decided to let it go, and immediately said: "City Lord, leave this matter to me!" ”

"Huh? Aren't you unacquainted? ”

Liu Qingfeng gave Li Changan a look that everyone who understood, "That was just a modest remark just now, can you call a reader if you haven't been to the hook column?" ”

Li Changan continued to ask: "How sure are you that you will dig someone?" ”

The folding fan in Liu Qingfeng's hand was opened suddenly, and Sao Bao smiled and said: "Let's put it this way, the contemptible nickname 'the breeze blows the flowers, and the leaves do not stick to the body', there have been no less than five women who have good ideas for me, I will dig people, and I will take nine out of ten!" ”

……

Two days later.

Three carriages drove out of the city lord's mansion.

Li Chang'an sat on a fight, Bai Yaoyao and Xiao Yue'er sat on a fight, Lu Zheng and Liu Qingfeng sat on a fight, An Zhaoran stayed by Li Changan's side, the eagle and the tiger followed with ten guards, and the wolf and Gonggong Hai and others stayed in the city lord's mansion to maintain the operation of the border city.

"Lord of the city, be careful on the road, you must take care of yourself."

Gonggong Hai and Xiaohe wiped their tears and reluctantly said goodbye to Li Changan, they usually serve Li Changan, and they naturally feel uneasy if they don't follow Li Changan's side.

Li Changan was both moved and speechless, "Okay, okay, what are you crying about, I'm not a child, I can take care of myself." ”

And on the streets of the border city, the people on both sides of the road were already crowded, and they watched the carriage drive out of the city lord's mansion with reverence in their eyes.

They knew that Li Changan was going to travel, so they spontaneously came over to see him off.

And when everyone looked at the carriage, they all showed complicated colors.

The picture of Li Changan burning the carriage and sending Da Hongyuan seems to be still in front of him, and now, he really did it, and got back into the carriage.

For a while, they were full of emotion, and many emotional people cried on the spot.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Grass people send the city lord to you!" ”

Then, it spread like a wave, one after another.

"The grass people send off the city lord!"

"The grass people send off the city lord!"

……

Li Changan lifted the curtain from the carriage and waved to everyone, feeling extremely touched in his heart and very pleased.

Soon.

The carriage left the border city under the gaze of everyone and disappeared from sight.

The border city is located in the northwest of the Great Win Dynasty, bordering Tianshui City in the south, Qingshan City in the south and Jianzhou in the southeast, and Jianzhou in the southeast.

The carriage drove all the way to the southeast, this was Li Changan's first trip, so he carefully recorded the environment along the way, after all, the development prospects of a city are closely related to its surrounding environment.

Looking at it along the way, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

Although Li Changan was mentally prepared, he still felt a little tricky when he faced it.

The border city highlights a remote area, even the official road is rugged, with a pile of gravel and weeds, obviously no one walks and takes care of it all the year round, desolate and barren, not to mention the big problem is the lack of water.

The lack of water in the border city is not a day or two, Xiao Yue'er reacted to this problem when he was brewing wine in the city lord's mansion, the water source of the entire city comes from the stream that flows from Tianshui City, and sometimes he has to run out of the city for several miles to draw water.

Other than that, there are no other water sources nearby.

If there are more people in the border cities in the future, where will there be enough water for this little bit of water alone, if you want to develop, you must solve this problem!

There were no accidents along the way, and the team arrived in Jianzhou in the early afternoon.

Jianzhou is small but prosperous.

The original intention of setting up Jianzhou was to serve as a gateway to Xijiang County, and it was also a barrier to protect the county, because the northern part of the Daying Dynasty was a barbarian, and they often came to attack, if there was no Jianzhou, if the northern fortress was captured, the barbarians could directly attack the county in the south, and the losses would be great.

However, after the accumulation of development, Jianzhou has become more and more prosperous, and there is a faint tendency to become a new city.

"The geographical location is really important, even Jianzhou, a city that is not a city, can be so prosperous, but the border city has to pay an unknown amount of effort."

Li Changan saw it in his eyes, and he was envious, jealous and hateful in his heart, and when the border city reached this level, the people's heart value would be more than enough for high-level lottery.

After repairing in Jianzhou, they continued to go south, passed through the Xijiang River by boat, and had already entered the scope of the Xijiang county seat.

The Xijiang River is a branch of the Ying River, very wide, the water flow is very sufficient, all the way to the west through Qingshan City and Tianshui City, Li Changan sat on the boat and looked at the rushing river, and suddenly had a thought.

South-to-North Water Diversion.

Is it possible to dig a tributary from the Xijiang River and extend it all the way to the border city?

But this idea is only to think about it, and the planning and design and engineering volume are amazingly large, and it is far from being able to consider now.

After walking for more than half an hour, everyone entered the county town of Xijiang, the tall and wide city walls, the smooth and bright road, the vendors on both sides of the road, the items sold in the shops, the pedestrians on the street, and the guards patrolling the city, all of which no longer showed the grandeur of the county town.

As for the majestic buildings, they are not comparable to the border cities, even the houses of the common people are all blue bricks and tiles, and they are in good order.

Originally, An Zhaoran also wanted to inform the lord of the county town, but Li Changan refused.

He was demoted to the third prince, there was nothing to publicize, and he came to dig people, the purpose was not pure, and he had to hide from the county lord a little.

After a day's journey, Li Changan asked everyone to find an inn to live in, and he himself was physically and mentally exhausted, so he fell asleep directly on the bed.

Following.

Li Changan was still asleep, and the others were busy.

Lu Zheng went to Bailu Academy and was about to resign as the dean, Bai Yaoyao happened to go to Luoyun Valley to deal with the affairs of the sect, Liu Qingfeng was dressed neatly, dressed up well, and sneakily went towards the hook fence, he went with a secret mission.

White Hart Academy.

"Hello Dean Lu."

"I've seen Dean Lu."

Lu Zheng nodded to the passing students, and walked on the steps of the academy with his head held high, smiling and full of spirit.

At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling of returning home.

Obviously, the border city is the backward side, but there is no way, who let him learn good things in the border city? This time I came back to pretend to be ...... Ahem, resigned.

Bailu College is very large, there are schools, there are learning mountains, there are canteens and dormitories, the students are all humble gentlemen, wearing long robes, and they look like scholars, but the common problem in ancient times is that most of the students are men, and there are few women.

Lu Zheng kept walking all the way towards the depths of the academy, and soon met an old man.

The old man was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Zheng, and then walked up quickly, and the two saluted each other.

"Dean Lu."

"Confucianist Zhang."

In the academy, the ordinary teacher who teaches students is called Confucianism, above is Confucianism, which means the teacher of Confucianism, and above is the dean.

There are three deans and twelve Confucian teachers in Bailu College.

Confucianist Zhang opened his mouth and said: "Dean Lu, you can be regarded as coming back, if you don't come back, we are already ready to report to the official." ”

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Lu Zheng smiled slightly, and then asked, "What about my senior brother and Dean Guo?" ”

Zhang Rushi said: "They are learning about the mountain, I have just finished teaching the students, and I am ready to go over." ”

The so-called discussion of learning refers to the exchange and learning of everyone, and it can also be a competition and debate.

"That's great, let's go over together."

Lu Zheng immediately spoke, and then the two chatted while walking, and walked towards Xueshan together.

Xueshan is a mountain, 537 meters high, with a knife and axe to dig out one after another large and thick stone steps, from the bottom of every 100 meters to build the pavilion, up and down a total of seven layers, the bottom of the pavilion is the most, the higher the number of pavilions, until the highest place only has a pavilion left, only the Confucian master can reach.

This means that the climbing process of learning can be discussed at a higher place, indicating that the higher the knowledge, the higher the learning pavilion, the learning pavilion is just a very ordinary small pavilion, but in the hearts of the students of Bailu Academy, it is a sacred existence.

As Lu Zheng and Zhang Rushi came to the highest pavilion, the exchange in the pavilion was paused.

One of the gray-haired old men saw Lu Zheng's face suddenly became serious, frowned and said: "Senior Brother Lu, you are finally willing to come back, but you have been on leave for three days but gone for more than half a month, and so remember to write a thousand-word review to explain the reason." ”
