After breakfast, the six of them took two carriages out of the Great Wall and headed for the small city. According to the predetermined plan, the two cars came to the city of the small city first, and settled at the gate of the city. Zheng Anping stood on the car, Mr. Jin and Cao Bao stood under the car on the left and right, and three military soldiers lined up behind the car with halberds, taking the other car. Although there are only six people, they also show extraordinary momentum. - This is naturally the result of a night of discussion and arrangement.

The sound of bangs rang out in the city. When he was young, the city gate was wide open, and the city lord's family of five fathers and sons took the lead to come out, Cao Bao stepped forward, invited the five people to the front of the car, and stood facing the city gate. Not long after, the people in the city helped the old and the young, and they all came out.

Cao Bao asked the people who left the city to sit down in front of the city gate one by one, facing the chariot, and Mr. Jin asked about the situation of these families next to him, and the city lord naturally selectively introduced them. Finally, the lord of the city said, "All households are ready." ”

Cao Bao then began to speak: "I am Cao's family, my name is Bao, and I am Guan Cheng." Those who stand by the chariot are in charge, and the soldiers behind them are in charge of the lieutenants and the left and right men. Now I meet with the township, and there is a big matter to discuss with the township. Do you want to eat meat? ”

Everyone couldn't react for a while, and responded in twos and threes: "Desire to eat!" "There is no one who does not want meat!" "Is there any meat?"

Cao Bao asked again: "Do you want to eat meat?" ”

This time, everyone heard it clearly, and said in unison: "Appetite!" ”

Cao Bao said: "I hear that there are words in the township, but there is meat!" He pointed to the wilderness on all sides and said, "In this wilderness, wild beasts are infested, and there is no flesh!" Hunt and eat, what can I do? ”

This time, everyone listened more attentively, and their voices were in unison, saying, "Oh! "Without a net, without a bow and arrow, how can you hunt?"

Cao Bao said: "On the day of the moon, the prince prepared a snare, held a bow and arrow, and drove it away with the villagers, burned the plains and hunted them, gathered in the wild and ate them together, but what? ”

This time it was the child who cried out happily, "Yes! "Immediately slapped by an adult.

Cao Bao said: "After the burning of the land, it is reclamation. Yes, there is a difference. Wang Zhi was in charge of the people and businessmen, but Yu Litian was not caught, so he ordered the people: Litian for three years, no land rent, but city rent, 100 yuan 2. The people follow their wishes, and those who force the fields are left to the left; Market traders, right-facing; Or those who are willing to do both, positively. As a result, most people chose to work in the positive direction, and there were only a few people who were willing to be pure and simple businessmen. Cao Bao called the lord of the city and asked him to write the names of each household. First the farmers, then the merchants, and finally the miscellaneous households.

Zheng Anping stood aside, looking frightened, this is to make up the people together! But all this is handled by Cao Bao, and he can only watch from the sidelines. He admired Xin Lingjun and his disciples a little, and they could come up with such a clever method.

The city lord's family hurriedly ran home, took out the pen and ink slips, and wrote them one by one, while Cao Bao and Mr. Jin watched from the side. Four soldiers stood by and stood guard for them.

Perhaps because of the deterrent power of the four soldiers, the process was in good order and not chaotic at all, and everyone came over one by one and registered their names and occupations they were going to engage in. Mr. Jin specially advised that a father and son can share a piece of paper; Children under 6 feet in height are not registered.

More than 100 households registered more than 100 wooden slips, and the lord of the castle and his four sons could write, but since they only had one pen, they could only write in turn. The more than 100 pieces of wood were written, and it was already noon.

Cao Bao received the written wooden slip into a leather bag, tied it, and tied it to his waist. replied: "The political affairs have been completed, or there may be lawsuits, grievances and rest, you can make a first complaint!" The crowd was silent. Cao Bao then said: "All the townships will return." I am equivalent to patrolling around the city, or if I have any surplus, I can tell him. The people returned to the city, but they did not close the gates.

The six of them returned to the car, selected the typical landmarks around them, and demarcated the scope of the hunting grounds. Since the small town has a small number of people, the hunting grounds should not be too large; And because the purpose of this hunting is not to patrol the hunt, but to burn the wasteland and reclaim the fields, the place chosen is mainly placed in a place where the water and grass are abundant and easy to cultivate, and the prey is secondary.

In the morning meeting, there were obviously not many people who took the initiative in the field, and it was really difficult to say how many of those who chose to be "positive" were too much of their brains, and how much they just followed the crowd. Therefore, the distinction between farmers and merchants is very valuable. Zheng Anping also wanted to get a list, but Cao Bao was on the other side, so he said to Mr. Jin: "There is no lawsuit here, what should I do to hear the lawsuit and ask the government?" ”

Mr. Jin said: "This gentleman is also worried. The newly opened land is not prepared, or it may be difficult. Childe or when the gantang tree hears the lawsuit also! Speaking of this, Mr. Jin actually sang: "Cover Gantang, don't cut down, summon the uncle." Cover Gantang, don't be defeated, call the uncle. Cover Gantang, don't worship, call Bo said. "Its voice is clear, and it spreads far away.

It took about an hour to clarify the terrain and area around the city, and decided on the hunting ground and hunting plan. ”

Two rides, with six people back to the girder. Zheng Anping discussed with the four of them, and since they still had a few days to spare, they simply buried Ma San. After confirming with Mr. Jin and taking leave, Mr. Jin said: "The deceased is the sky, and you can't obey!" "Promise it.

It was getting late today, and the four of them decided to go home separately and come to the post to discuss Masan's funeral in the coming day.

Zheng Anping returned home, met Zhang Lu, and the two cooked porridge in the courtyard together. Zheng Anping remembered that he seemed to have not cooked or eaten with Zhang Lu alone for a long time. While cooking porridge, Zheng Anping talked about what he had seen and heard in the past two days, and Zhang Lu also casually expressed his opinion. Zheng Anping said that Guanyi is connected to Luoyang in the west, Daliang in the east, Zheng Guo in the south, Handan in the north, and is in the middle of the world.

Zhang Lu did not comment, but simply replied: "You can pass through the city lord and meet with the merchants. With thy command, you will get something! ”

Then when it comes to the marriage of Xinling Jun, how should he repair the house. Zhang Lu suddenly said: "If you build a house in management, what is it?" ”

Zheng Anping said: "The former Mr. Zhongyue asked, and I replied that the old Sheke can also be recalled!" Why rebuild the house? ”

Zhang Lu said: "The old minister is old and sick, and it is not visible to people. If Mr. Zhang Yu arrives, what will he do? "But with the old house to settle the old minister, the son lives in the new house, which not only has a new atmosphere, but also avoids everyone's eyes and ears!"

Zheng Anping said: "I first ordered Yiyi, everything is difficult, and I was about to give up with my husband, so why give up?" “

Zhang Lu said: "It's not abandoned." If the son misses the old minister, but he drives back, he has no choice. or the remnants are a little healthy, and they have to follow the son. Away from the girders, it is natural and quiet. “

Zheng Anping said: "I am thinking about my house, where should Mr. go, Mr. This plan is also gained." “

Zhang Lu said: "There is no lawsuit in Guanyi, and the son is a lawsuit in the meantime." Everyone else returns, the son is left alone, and whatever he goes, all are cheap. Although Xinlingjun wants to be Uncle Cao, he can get it! “

Zheng Anping said: "Where should I live?" “

Zhang Lu said: "Governing the old capital of the country, although the city is abandoned, the foundation still exists, choose the situation that is similar, a little construction and repair can be obtained, the labor of rammed earth to build the foundation can be reduced, but the pillars and beams are only." “

Zheng Anping said: "However, those I am afraid of, the city has been abandoned for a long time, the land is remote and sparsely populated, or there are one or two fierce beasts if they are reckless, I am afraid that it will be difficult." “

Zhang Lu said: "What the son is worried about is not for nothing. It is not known whether the prince can try to say that he will be in Xinlingjun, or he may be able to rebuild the city. If you don't repair the city, but build its house...... It will be March or May, or even a year. The son can temporarily live in Guanyi, get close to the township, make friends with heroes, and think that his wings and henchmen will be fine. “

Zheng Anping said: "This plan is wonderful. If there is no room and a sojourn in another house, it will be difficult for the little slave to enter. “

Zhang Lu said: "Why is the son afraid of the little slave? “

Zheng Anping said: "Mr. doesn't know, the little slave is the one who manages the city, and the child doesn't know his father." How can you be happy if you are so lowly? “

Zhang Lu said: "Childe's words are true. Although the little slave is the daughter of the door, she has returned to the Houmen and is the concubine of the prince of Wei. Yu Gongzi cannot be said to be lowly, he is comparable to Gongzi, and they all believe in Lingjun's concubines. “

Zheng Anping was a little unconvinced: "I am a king's minister, how can I believe in the minister of Lingjun!" “

Zhang Lu said: "Although the prince is a prince and a minister, his heart is always in Xinling Junye!" “

Zheng Anping was told that he had broken his mind, so he had to laugh dryly: "Mr. is clear, and it is difficult to hide it." “

Zhang Lu pulled the topic back and said: "If the son accepts a small slave and raises his children, he will be able to make a weapon, and his merit will be matched!" Childe is not overlooked. “

Zheng Anping said: "Although, if the husband has made meritorious contributions, he should be in the territory, how can he rely on his children!" “

Zhang Lu said: "Although what the son said is true, but think to himself, the son is a woman, it is like Xinling Junye?" The knowledge of the child, which is like the letter of Lingjunye? The nobility of the son, such as the letter of the king? The virtue and talent of the son, such as the letter of Lingjunye? Xinling Jun is not cheap and light, heavy responsibility, how can the son be despised because of the daughter of the door? May the son take the heart of the king of Xinling as his heart, and think about it, and his daughter and his child will have a considerable number of people. “

Zheng Anping thought for a while and said, "I should keep in mind what Mr. said. Women are not in virtue, I know it well. May the virtue of his wife be as good as the words of the gentleman, and then be very fortunate! “

Zhang Lu said: "Its virtue is like my face, can it be obtained?" Both laughed. Zhang Lu said: "The son is in Guanyi, you can also inquire about his situation a little, and in the future, you can also accept joy!" “

Zheng Anping was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "What fun is sir!" Then he returned to the topic and said: "I am in Guanyi, and I am also ordered." Although he does not believe in Xinlingjun, he is in charge of survival or death, poverty or wealth, safety or danger, and he is in charge. I didn't want to be a little wrong, and I didn't want to believe in Lingjun. May the gentleman teach him every day, so as not to make up for my mistakes! “

Zhang Lu said miserably: "The minister is out of office, and he is often willing to promise the country with his body, but Nai Tian is not as good as he wishes, and he will come to a disaster in vain, and he will be sick and disabled, and he will be a tired son." Today's son has to order a yi, although the yi is small, it covers the land of Wei; Although the people are few, the people of Wei. Dare not to do your best to assist the son. May the son not read it! “

Zheng Anping said: "I have the help of Mr., and I will be famous!" “
