In July, the temperature was getting cooler, Zhao Cheng picked up a bad mood and continued to move towards the next goal.

He has entered Qianzhou and has been running around on this plateau for more than ten days.

It was the first time for Zhao Cheng to set foot on this land, and he had heard a lot of legends about this place before he crossed over, and he also knew that it was not easy here.

Only by experiencing it firsthand, Zhao Cheng knew how difficult life here was.

That is, a few hundred years later, the Xia people developed rapidly, rushed to modernization at full speed, and moved forward with Qianzhou.

In that era, the people in the whole Xia nationality were blessed by the times and lived a relatively good modern life.

But in this day and age, having enough to eat is a problem in itself.

In the central and eastern regions of the Xia nationality, it is better, as long as there is no war and no natural disasters, the common people can basically live.

Bitterness is a bit bitter, but starvation is not a common phenomenon.

But in Qianzhou, Zhao Cheng understood what it meant to be a poor mountain and bad water, and why Qianzhou had been a place of exile since ancient times.

It's so poor!

Basic life is a problem!

The high-ranking officials and nobles who were exiled here would basically not be able to survive without the help of the local forces.

At this moment, Zhao Cheng stood outside the tall city walls, looking at this ancient city, hoping that this station would be rewarded.

I also hope that the leader of this Shuixi Toast can see a little, not like those fierce men in Banzhou, who have developed limbs, simple minds, and are arrogant......

I don't realize I'm missing something!

The city in front of me is called Guizhou City, after Shuixi nominally submitted to the Ming Empire, the Ming Dynasty set up a governance office here, and Shuixi and Shuidong governance offices are here.

Since the Mengyuan Dynasty, the Central Plains Empire set up the Tusi system in Qianzhou, and the Tusi was called the Xuanfu Envoy or Xuanfu Envoy, nominally obeying the Central Plains Empire, and was the official of the Yuan and Ming Empires.

However, in essence, it is still in a state of secession and independence, and it can be regarded as a highly autonomous region.

In this piece of Qianzhou, the overall topography is mountains, ravines, many mountains and no roads, and the imperial court whip is beyond reach.

This has resulted in the unique position of Qianzhou since the successive dynasties.

The central court wanted to take direct control of Qianzhou, which was almost impossible in the old society with extremely low productivity.

The harvest of ruling Qianzhou is not proportional to the cost of conquering Qianzhou, and has no practical significance.

To put it simply, the price is too high!

It is better to recruit the Tusi of Qianzhou and submit to the Ming Empire in name, but in fact adopt a policy of ignoring this poor mountain and bad water.

It doesn't matter how the people inside fight, how they manage, and how they rule, just pay tribute to the court on a regular basis.

As long as you don't think about shaking the rule of the imperial court, nothing else matters.

However, now that the imperial court is moving to the southwest, it wants to completely overthrow Yuan Liang's rule in Yunnan, and by the way, it also wants to move on Qianzhou, further deepen the connection between Qianzhou and the Central Plains, and strengthen its rule.

Of course, what is more important is that the army conquers Yunnan, and Qianzhou cannot avoid it no matter what.

Liangguang is still in rebellion, the war is continuous, the army has not been pacified, and it is almost impossible to wave the army west from Liangguang to destroy the king of Yuanliang.

With hundreds of thousands of troops from the north of Xuzhou, it is feasible to directly attack Yunnan, but after all, it is impossible to bypass Qianzhou.

Fu Youde was the general of Zhengnan and coordinated the entire battle situation, and he was very aware of the importance of Qianzhou in this war.

Only when Qianzhou is stable and can provide unconditional support for the army's conquest of Yunnan, can they fight with peace of mind and pacify the entire southwest in a short time.

If Qianzhou is unstable, and even the Tusi have colluded with Yuan Liang, and suddenly give the Ming army a blow behind their backs, it will be extremely fatal to the Ming Dynasty.

If you are not careful, the Ming army will be buried in this southwest land.

The main force of the Ming Dynasty is in the Central Plains, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the southwest area is still too remote for the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the Ming Dynasty has been established for 13 years, after more than 10 years of operation, the national strength is strong and the army is strong.

However, the influence of the Central Plains on the southwest region is too weak, and it is not easy to easily take Yunnan and unify the Xia people.

For the sake of the entire battle situation, Fu Youde set out from Tanzhou, wanting to cross Qianzhou, so that all unstable factors would die in the bud.

In this way, the army swept through Yunnan and killed Yuan Liang, which was almost a sure thing.

Zhao Cheng walked into the city and went straight to the Shuixi Governance Office.

Since he entered Qianzhou, he has been searching for information and information on the major forces in Qianzhou, and he also knows a little about Shuixi Tusi.

The contemporary leader of Shuixi, Ai Cui, was a vassal to the imperial court in the fifth year of Hongwu, and he went to the Central Plains and Yingtianfu.

It was a time when he was strong and strong, but it is said that since he returned from Tianfu, he has collapsed and become seriously ill, and he has been sick in bed for several years, and he is afraid that time is running out.

Zhao Cheng wants to give it a try to see if he can treat Ai Cui's disease, if he can treat it, he will use this as an opportunity to cooperate with Shuixi Toast to achieve a great cause!

……

Jingzhou Mansion, a scholarly house.

Song Lian and Song Taishi are telling the story of "Xinhua Dictionary" to their former friends and protégés, and by the way, they are promoting the simplification of Chinese characters.

He was exiled to Maozhou, and when he passed through Wuchang, he encountered "the emperor's grace and self-rejection", and he also met the benefactor Zhao Cheng, who saved his life, and was able to escape death.

Make a deal with the little marquis, and spend your whole life to promote the simplified Chinese characters and benefit the people of the Xia tribe.

Along the way, the old gentleman has never forgotten his promise to Zhao Cheng, and he is already half a person in the ground.

It is also God's mercy to be able to obtain this merit in his old age.

In a month, the "Xinhua Dictionary" has been sorted out by him and divided into more than 20 volumes.

With the help and support of dozens of giant merchants, the manufacture of movable type was also completed and mass printing began.

Today, nearly 10,000 copies have been produced and released, affecting a large number of readers.

In fact, in addition to the efforts of Song Taishi Gong, Zhu Biao, the crown prince of Yingtianfu, who sits firmly in the East Palace, is also using his own strength and power to help popularize simplified Chinese characters.

Although Zhu Chongba didn't like Zhao Cheng and Song Lian, he hated to kill him and then quickly.

But he also understands the importance of simplified Chinese characters to all the people in the world, and he does not support it, and no one in the court dares to talk about it.

But Zhu Biao wants to do this thing, and Zhu Chongba is also happy.

At least, with such supreme merit, his Zhu family can also take a share.

Besides, the world will be handed over to this bastard boy from now on.

This move can greatly weaken the influence of the scholar on the whole world, and it is also of incomparable significance to the future prince to rule the world.

Zhu Chongba opened one eye and closed one eye, it didn't matter.

At the end of Song Taishigong's banquet, a woman in a plain white dress found him.

"Taishi Gong, has my brother-in-law contacted you?"

Qiuyun went about his business, asking questions to which he already knew the answers.

A month ago, she and Chen Xi quickly caught up with Song Lian, and through the prince's token, they also got in touch with Song Lian.

The two of them thought that finding Zhao Cheng would be an easy task.

It's a pity that in the past month, Zhao Cheng has not appeared again, as if the world has evaporated.

"No, no, that kid may have gone to seclusion somewhere, it's been more than a month, and there is no news at all."

Song Taishi Gong was not impatient, he was still surprised when he learned that this girl was Zhao Cheng's murderous sister-in-law, but he didn't care too much when he learned that she was doing things for the prince.

“……”

Qiu Yun shrugged his shoulders, on the one hand, he wanted to find Zhao Cheng, and on the other hand, he didn't want to find Zhao Cheng.

Anyway, Zhao Cheng is the person her sister loves deeply, and she saw it very clearly during that time, her sister, who has been in the Hongchen Building for half her life, is really emotional.

But her sister died because of Zhao Cheng after all, and she hated Zhao Cheng very much.

In short, she is conflicted.

"Tai Shi Gong, is this simplified Chinese really so important?"

"By the way, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered to support the promotion of simplified characters."

"However, there are many big families who go against ......."

"Also, what kind of person is my brother-in-law? Did he really make this simplified Chinese character? ”

"Well, I believe that in more than ten years, this simplified Chinese character will definitely be promoted to the whole world!"

……

Qiu Yun accompanied Mr. Song to talk about some specious truths, full of curiosity about Zhao Cheng, and also admired simplified characters.

At this time, Chen Xi rushed in like the wind.

"Let's go, there's news......"

Although he is the crown prince Zhu Biao's person, he also holds a temporary post in Jinyiwei, and now he is one of the thousand households of Jinyiwei, and has a lot of status and power in this system.

"Got news?"

Qiu Yun's delicate body jumped, it's been more than a month, and that god-like brother-in-law has finally appeared?

"In Banzhou, a few days ago, a Jinyi Wei spy found him in Banzhou."

Chen Xi was wearing a flying fish suit, holding a long knife in his hand, and he was also very excited to find Zhao Cheng's traces.

"Banshu? So far? ”

Qiuyun was surprised, how could her brother-in-law run so far? Isn't it good to stay in the Central Plains? Why go to such a barbarian land?

Oh yes, he's a wanted criminal in the imperial court, and it's not normal to run far and deviate?!

"Don't talk nonsense, otherwise when we get to Banzhou, he may all go to Nanning Mansion, if he and his father meet, it will be even more difficult for us to contact him......"

Chen Xi is a workaholic, especially for the prince Zhu Biao, who can work with his life!

After bidding farewell to Taishi Gong, he left decisively.

Qiuyun didn't ink either, and walked along.

Watching the two disappear from view, Song Lian sighed, it's good to be young!

Chen Xi and the two were on their way, heading towards Banzhou, and in a certain mountainous area at the junction of Jiangxi and Hubei, they were witnessing the miracle of the entire Ming Empire!

At this moment, in the world's most advanced academy, dozens of students, led by several teachers, are sitting in the courtyard, burning charcoal fires, roasting freshly dug potatoes, each child holding a huge bun of grain in his hand, and exuding hot water vapor.

This is Wu Shanzhai, Zhao Cheng has been here for nearly two months, and he has also planted more than a dozen acres of grain here.

Now in July, the potatoes and corn have grown, and although they are not all ripe, they are also edible.

At the suggestion of Li Qiaozhen, the president of Wushan Academy, Wu Yong, the village chief, led several villagers to dig up half an acre of potatoes, and also selected huge corn in the corn forest to start this gratifying harvest feast and taste high-yield food that had never been eaten before.

Half an acre of potato land has excavated more than 2,000 catties of potatoes, which makes the residents of Wushanzhai ecstatic.

Half an acre of land and two thousand catties of grain, this is something that I once dared not think of.

A miracle!

In the future, the problem of eating in the village is finally no longer a problem.

They can feed more people and live a better life!

Li Qiaozhen sat among the children, nibbling on the big corn in her hand and turning over the potatoes in the charcoal fire.

It's a time of harvest and a time of ecstasy!

It's a pity that the person who created all this couldn't enjoy this joy with them.

The little girl has countless worries and endless thoughts in her heart.

She still can't let go of Brother Qin's inability to stay in the village, and she often thinks of him.

Nowadays, the village has changed very much, but every trace of change has traces of Brother Qin.

It was he who created this paradise on earth!

Zhao Cheng didn't know anything about all this, and he was now standing outside the most powerful mansion in Guizhou City.

At present, the leader of the Shuixi Tusi is Ai Cui, who is extremely family.

"Please inform me, the Central Plains Divine Medicine Bian Que is in the world and asks to see him."

Zhao Cheng was wearing a medical robe, which was quite like the same thing.

As for whether it is a real miracle doctor, it is unknown.

However, it is certain that he is by no means a living descendant of Bian Que.

"Bian Que?"

"Who's that? The miracle doctor of the Central Plains? ”

The two guards have never been out of Qianzhou in their lives, and they don't know much about the culture of the Central Plains, so it's normal not to know Bian Que.

"I don't know, let's go, don't hang around the door again......"

“……”

Zhao Cheng's face remained unchanged, all this had been expected a long time ago.

In any period, it is not easy for strangers and ordinary people to meet dignitaries.

It seems that we are going back to our old business again!

Zhao Cheng was a little helpless, he didn't want to use a strong one.

But he is a criminal who has no power and power, and is still wanted by the imperial court, and he cannot see the dignitaries without force.

But just as Zhao Cheng was about to show his fists and muscles, a figure with a strong temperament walked over, followed by several mushrooms and branches beside her, and then a team of guards.

Obviously, these people almost carved the dignitaries on their faces.

"Madame~"

Seeing someone coming, the two guards immediately bowed and saluted, not daring to slack off, and one of the guards noticed Zhao Cheng standing there, and pushed him, signaling him to leave quickly.

Zhao Cheng smiled.

It's really the right time to come this time, and there is no need to use such rudeness.

The mature figure looked at Zhao Cheng and walked straight towards him.

"The divine doctor Hua Tuo that Mr. said, but that Hua Tuo who scraped the bones of the martial saint Guan Gong to cure the poison?"

She has read a lot of books and learned a lot about the culture and history of the Central Plains, especially after she married into Shuixi five years ago, she has read a lot of records and medical books about divine doctors.

I just know Hua Tuo!

"Exactly!"

Zhao Cheng pushed away the guards beside him and faced this beautiful figure.

She is about twenty years old, with a southwestern standard women's hair bun on her head, wearing traditional Miao Jiang costumes, shining with a little silver light, and stepping on a pair of carved bow shoes like crystals, which are extremely bright and moving.

All this is an external performance, and what surprised Zhao Cheng was that in addition to this woman's charming atmosphere, she actually had the temperament of a traditional scholarly woman in the south of the Yangtze River, which was quite unexpected.

Of course, it's also quite fateful.

This woman is a famous beauty in the entire Shuixi, and she is also the most powerful person in Shuixi.

Her name is Pu Lou Xiangxiang, and the people of Shuixi are called Mrs. Xiang.

。

A new volume, starting from Qianzhou Toast.

Kneel down and beg the family to support them.

Thank you very much, thank you.
