Chapter Thirty-Six: The Commander of the Envoys

On the official road, dozens of people are mighty, fresh clothes and angry horses, what a scenery.

Qu Zichen led more than 60 people, wearing official uniforms, and walked on the road on horseback.

Passers-by avoided it, and Qu Zichen didn't care.

When he arrived outside the city of Mingzhou, Zhang Siyang, the prefect of Mingzhou, had already received the news and led a group of civil and military officials in the city to wait outside the city.

In fact, if it was just an ordinary military attaché, in the Song Dynasty, where literature was heavy and military was light, there was no need for a dignified prefect to go out of the city a few miles to greet him, but this is not the same commander, Lord He of the Prime Minister's Mansion had already said hello, how could these little fish and shrimp who had no background dare to snub such characters.

"Oh, Lord Qu is really young and promising, I have such a young general in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is a blessing for the people of Mingzhou to lead the army of Tiger Ben to garrison here!"

"Lord Zhang is also clean and honest, under your rule, Mingzhou is not left behind, the night is not closed, and the people are happy and rich."

"Hahaha, Lord Qu has won the award, and the lower officials have set up a banquet in the city to wash the dust for Lord Qu."

"Please!"

"Please!"

The two of them blew each other and complimented each other, and the officials present also congratulated each other, and then a group of people entered the city one after another.

In the largest restaurant in Mingzhou City, "Lord Zhang Siyang, the prefect of Mingzhou, has arrived!" The Mingzhou Horse Army and the Infantry Army both commanded Lord Qu Zichen to arrive! Mingzhou ............"

On a large table in the middle of the second floor, the accompaniments are all high-class people with heads and faces in Mingzhou, and the lower-level officials can only be on other tables, and the landlords and others from all over Mingzhou can only sit on the first floor, however, Qu Zichen still arranged for more than 20 soldiers such as Zhao Hu to also be on the second floor, just in case, the rest of the people are on the first floor.

"Come, Lord Qu, the lower officials will give you a cup, and I wish Lord Qu a prosperous martial arts and a long victory!"

"Thank you, Lord Zhang!"

The other officials present also toasted one after another, Qu Zichen was not arrogant, and responded one by one.

During the banquet, Zhang Siyang and Qu Zichen talked about the Mingzhou Xiangbing barracks, and Qu Zichen also listened quietly and asked from time to time.

After about half an hour, everyone was also full of wine and food, and Zhang Siyang and Qu Zichen were even more brothers.

"Hiccup, I said Brother Qu, do you know what is the best thing in our Mingzhou?"

"Little brother doesn't know."

"Our best in Mingzhou, the first is the girl in Yichun Building, all of them, spring water sprinkled willow branches, no wind and self-enchanting. I heard that Lord Wang of Lin'an ** likes it here very much. The second is that Changshengfang, which is the only place to travel at home and relax and relax, and Lord Li of Lin'an *** is also full of praise for this. ”

"I see."

"Then, Brother Qu, do you know what is the most in Mingzhou?"

"Little brother doesn't know, please explain your doubts."

"The most of our Mingzhou are fishermen, and fully thirty percent of the people rely on the sea to eat, but ah, there are many fishermen, and there are many bandits, alas, it is not a secret, before Lord Qu came, Mingzhou soldiers and horses were weak, and the sailors were even more ship-broken, and the bandits were in trouble in the township, oppressing the people, and plundering many times, resulting in a difficult life for the fishermen, and they could not pay taxes, which was really a big trouble in my heart."

"Alas, don't talk about it, don't talk about it, when Lord Qu first arrived here today, let's talk about something happy, come, keep drinking!"

"After drinking, I just took you to Yichun Building and Changshengfang to enjoy it."

The corners of Qu Zichen's mouth rose slightly, this big pile of words, I'm afraid only the last sentence is true, of course he knows what Zhang Siyang means.

In Mingzhou City, the best Qinglou and gambling house all have backstage, and they are all big names in Lin'an City, but Qu Zichen has no interest in this kind of place, even if Zhang Siyang doesn't say it, he won't be fingered.

It's just that I don't know if Zhang Siyang reminded him for his own good, don't embarrass these places and get into trouble, or threaten him to prevent him from getting involved in these businesses?

As the prefect, Zhang Siyang is of course not having a good time, just wanting to stabilize the security of the coastal area after he takes office, so that the people can pay taxes obediently, and save him his troubles.

Of course Qu Zichen will do this kind of thing, because he also needs a stable situation at sea, but since the prefect has opened his mouth, it can't be said that he doesn't give some benefits, Qu Zichen is a master who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles, if Zhang Siyang doesn't give Qu Zichen satisfactory conditions in Mingzhou Mansion, even if Qu Zichen exterminates the bandits, he can let him appear again at any time!

……………… Dividing line ..................

Zhang Long is in the Qu family's compound at the moment, and Lord Qu took office and took all the veterans away, while he led a group of soldiers with mostly black iron quality to eat soil in the countryside.

As the first batch of recruited soldiers, he is already an elite level, and there is no need to train anymore, when Qu Zichen and others went to Mingzhou Mansion in a mighty way, he was studying the military book in the room, but he heard the soldiers outside the door.

"Come in."

"What's going on?"

"Master Zhang, there are two men outside the door, arguing endlessly, saying that they want you to give a review."

"Huh? Bring it in and I'll see what's going on. ”
