"Has the arraignment passed?"

Lu Weimang ate some melons and fruits while asking Huo Jing on the side.

Huo Jing raised his head from the bookcase and looked at Lu Weimang, who was bored, "It has been summoned, they haven't stayed in Jincheng for long, and it will take half a month to play in the nearby city, Yuanqing, which is closest to Yumen." Are you really going to host them here? ”

The "reception" in Huo Jing's mouth is kind words, and the real situation is that Lu Weimang intends to gather wool.

The children of Kyoto are the vane of the entire Daqian youth, and whatever they play, the Daqian will be popular, and where they say that where it is good, they will welcome a large number of people who come to visit it one after another.

After all, from ancient times to the present, there is no shortage of honest squires and scholars. These people are destined by their natural class to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. Regardless of food and clothing, there are not too many entertainment activities, and some aspiring young people like to travel around to study, leaving popular works or footprints in the mountains of famous cities.

There is no land, no people, no scenery here in Yumen, that is, hundreds of thousands of years of humanity is worth seeing, and there is a poem on the side, which attracts the reading teenagers, Lu Weimang intends to let the Kyoto teenagers leave footprints here, spread their reputation, and hope to attract the teenagers to come over like the scenic spot in the previous life, so that the local old and young can do a small business and make a living, so as to slowly make the local popularity become strong.

Lu Weimang explained like this, Huo Jing shook his head, "It's not realistic." From the hinterland of Daqian to Yumen, it is too far for some people to walk for several lifetimes, even if there are horses and carriages, under the bumps, few people can hold on. Because the children of Kyoto are all nobles, including you and Chengyang Changfeng, they have also been boiling their bodies since childhood, and they have been practicing hard, so that they can travel long distances like now, and ordinary people can't hold on to it at all. ”

Huo Jing said the reality, afraid that Lu Wei Mangjue would be hit, so he spoke again, "Of course, if there is a train that travels thousands of miles a day as you said back then, presumably Yumen here will definitely be as popular as you imagined." ”

Lu Weimang listened to Huo Jing's analysis, and he didn't want to eat the melons and fruits, so he lay on the table and sighed.

"In fact, I am also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Yumen here as a big dry portal, but there is no heavy military handle, the reason is because of the sparse population here, our big dry people are hard-working, and they still have to move to the Guannei, and the Qiang people live by water and grass, let alone come nearby. It turned out to be an embarrassing place where "no one wants". During the period of General Fei, there must have been abundant water and grass here, so it attracted the enemy's peeping, but now, the yellow sand is all over the sky, and no one likes to want chicken ribs. The chief officer of the Yumen was brought up by Suo Lao, and with a general captain, a few stragglers, and a few servants, he actually took charge of the entire Yumen Pass. ”

Lu Weimang complained here, Huo Jing had already lowered his head to look at his official business of flying pigeons, their tour ended in Yumen, and Huo Jing began to work officially the day after entering Yumen. At this time, hearing Lu Weimang's complaining, he lowered his head and said busily, "The chief officials here are sparse, because no scholar wants to come here." But the lieutenants and guards were not arranged at random. They are soldiers under the command of my Huo family! ”

Lu Weimang nodded, "Okay, of course, the Huo family is all capable people, but it's true that there is really no border pressure here." ”

Huo Jing replied to Lu Weimang's words while lowering his head, "This is true, not to mention the west of Yumen Pass, that is, to the north and south, are all barren sandy loess, sparse grass, and the elders and grass cannot raise cattle and sheep on a large scale, let alone feed the tribal population, so there is no decent force in this radius of several hundred miles." Even horse thieves who come and go like the wind are not stationed here. ”

Lu Weimang listened to Huo Jing's words, and was even more worried, "You are busy first, I'll go out for a walk!" ”

Huo Jing finally raised his head from the official document, "With people, after all, it's a side stopper." ”

"Hmm!" Lu Weimang nodded, there is no need for Huo Jing to emphasize that she will also bring enough people, after all, it is as safe as a hinterland like Kyoto, and she is a full guard of honor every time she goes out, not to mention the jade gate that does not go to the back of the village in advance.

Lao Suo Da let him sit at the entrance of the yamen all day long and bask in the sun, waiting for Lu Weimang by the way.

Lu Weimang has been here for just a few days, and his face has already turned from reddish-brown to black-brown.

"This big June sun, you have the perseverance to bask in! You don't always follow me, and I won't give up easily. ”

Lu Weimang glanced at the old man who was guarding him, stepped over the threshold and walked outside the yamen. This means that Old Man Suo is old, but if he is a little younger, he will always guard the door like this, Lu Weimang will not agree, and he will have been beaten away with a stick.

Old man Suo smiled when he heard this, as if he didn't hear Lu Weimang's impatience, and directly followed Lu Weimang's right behind, standing in front of the Huo family's black armor guard, "I'll show you the way." On this day, I can know the big and small corners of the water city with my eyes closed. If you don't understand something, you can ask me. ”

Glancing at the old man, Lu Weimang didn't say anything more, but let him follow.

"What's that for?"

Several young people attracted Lu Weimang's attention.

There are only a handful of young people in this Yumen Pass, and now there are three or five groups of people shrunk at the road signs, and a few foreign merchants who have come over with them, Lu Weimang is very puzzled.

She remembered that she hadn't seen these people when she visited Yumen a few days ago.

Old man Suo deserves to be a know-it-all in Yumen, and after a glance, he said to Lu Weimang courteously, "A few of them are outliers here in Yumen, neither migrating into the customs, nor honestly farming and herding sheep, but going to the desert to find things every once in a while." You didn't see them a few days ago, so it should be a few of them who went deep into the desert to treasure for treasures. Now that they have come back, they are pulling the merchants to see their treasures! ”

The word "baby", the old man Suo said it was particularly heavy, as if he hated it as a mockery.

Lu Weimang listened to it but became interested, and followed a few white-skinned and high-nosed exotic businessmen to join in the fun and watch the baby.

"It's still these, these don't sell for us at a price."

The merchant glanced at it and said in the words of a crappy official.

The young man who was selling "treasures" was not annoyed, and said with a smiling face, "There are so many merchants coming and going, and you take the most care of our business." This time I went to the desert, and I didn't encounter a sandstorm, so there was nothing good to turn out, just these gems, the texture is warm, shining, is the best gem we have encountered over the years, you feel free to give some silver money, we will have a baby in the future, not to others, just waiting for you! ”

The words made the merchant reluctantly shut up, and only squatted down to look at the "gem" that the young man said.

Lu Weimang listened to the audience on the side, saw it really, saw the luster of the "jewel", and interjected, "It's better to sell it to me, I'll pay ten taels!" ”

The young man squatting on the ground heard the woman's voice coldly, raised his head, and saw a girl who seemed to be looking at him with light eyes, as vibrant as a weed in the desert? No, it's ma'am.

After shaking for a moment, the young man immediately saw the blackened face of Master Suo behind the woman.

The young man seemed to have dealt with Suo Darang a few times, and he saw the young man greet Suo Darang familiarly, "Master Suo, are you old and going out for a walk?" ”

Old man Suo glared at the young man angrily, "This has been going for more than a month, right?" Everyone else is afraid of a sandstorm, but you grew up in the desert and looked forward to it. How many times have I told you, not every time a sandstorm can turn out of the treasure in the ground, and you are not always lucky enough to come back alive from a sandstorm. It is serious to open some fields and come out as soon as possible. We don't collect your land tax here, and it's yours when you open it. ”

After a pause, he continued, "You are all filial and don't want to go into the customs alone to survive. In this way, now that Lord Lu Weimang Lu has come to Yumen, you can ask her for a favor, let her take care of your family, you go into the customs and work hard, several of you are capable, wait for you to gain a firm foothold in the pass, and then come back to pick up the family! ”
