In my impression, this is the first time that Zhao Ci has left the direct jurisdiction of Linge.

But as a social animal who has been beaten by society for many years, he still understands the sinister nature of the world.

Even if Da Yu was united as a whole and hoped to recover the environment of the Northern Regions, he never had much hope for the grassroots officials, especially the existence of congenitally deformed counties such as the three northern counties.

It's just that......

I asked for this pill for you, and it has been clearly stated that there are 7,000 pieces in it that will be distributed to those grassroots officials who are in a hurry to use the Qi Cultivation Pill, why are they still thinking about my 5,000 pills?

Isn't it too much to use the prince's elixir to be your own favor?

Zhao Ci was a little resentful.

In my previous life, someone hanged me and beat me severely.

In this life, there are still hangers who want to beat me.

If you really get beaten again.

Didn't I cross in vain?

He looked at Zhang Deshu and found that the other party still had a slightly ashamed expression on his face, so he didn't say anything, just arched his hand: "Then there is Brother Lao Zhang." ”

Although he really wanted to give Zhang De a big blow, he just saw his wish, and he couldn't set up a target in the void.

At the very least, you have to find out what the other party wants to do.

Moreover, the three northern counties have a large population, and it is not that as soon as their domineering spirit leaks, everyone can obey their orders.

Zhao Ci asked some more details.

Zhang Derate answered fluently, obviously predicting the questions that Zhao Ci might ask.

came and went, as if he had really thought about the matter of giving the emperor on behalf of the emperor this time, and this was considered in all aspects, even if Zhao Huan came, he had to give a thumbs up.

Zhao Ci couldn't help but slander in his heart, he was worthy of being an old fritter who had stood in the three northern counties for more than ten years, and it was still a little difficult to find his flaws.

Also.

If words alone can make him tell the whole story, then this county guard will be too much of a failure.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Zhao Ci borrowed the strength of the wine and asked Zhang De to arrange a place for himself.

The messengers are gone.

It's time for this feast to come to an end.

Zhao Yong didn't force himself to make up for himself, and said two words to end the dust washing banquet.

A group of officials scattered.

The county guard's mansion, which was quite lively just now, immediately became a lot more deserted.

Zhang Derate sighed with emotion: "His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince really loves the people like a son like His Majesty." ”

He loves a hammer!

He obviously just wants to please Kan Luotang, right?

Zhao Yong was a little angry in his heart, but the smile on his face was still light: "Lao Shi has a strange temperament, and he acts eclectic among the princes, and none of us can figure out what he wants to do." ”

Zhang De nodded at the rate, Zhao Ci's temptation was quite hidden, but they were all thousand-year-old foxes, Zhao Ci had already expressed his importance to the list, how could he not know the meaning of it?

It's just that he doesn't understand, Zhao Ci has obviously taken his reputation, why does he insist on delivering the pill to the people?

To please the common people who have no eggs.

But it may make the low-level officials who can really do things resentful.

Even if he really loves the people like a son.

That's unwise, isn't it?

He smiled and arched his hand: "Of course it's a good thing to think more about the people." Speaking of which, I still have to thank His Highness, if there are only five thousand Qi Cultivation Pills given to the people by the Ten Highnesses, the lower officials may not be able to appease their subordinates. ”

"Where's the word!"

Zhao Yong smiled and waved his hand: "The stability of the three northern counties is related to Dayu Sheji, and it is already a great sacrifice for the big guy to come here as an official." Lao Shi is not considerate, and sometimes his inadvertent actions are easy to chill the hearts of the brothers, and I, as a brother, naturally have to help him make up for it. ”

Zhang Deshu sighed with emotion: "I thought that only the crown prince and the fourth prince could withstand His Majesty's dragon energy, but now it seems that His Royal Highness is also a rare young hero, if he can be a few years older, maybe ......."

As if realizing that he had lost his words, he quickly closed his mouth.

But the meaning has already been reached, if you are a few years older, you will have the strength to compete with the crown prince and the four princes.

"Master Zhang, be cautious in your words and deeds!"

Zhao Yong admonished with a straight face, but his heart was hot, he really didn't feel that he was worse than the prince.

In that group of princes, they all said that the prince was a holy hand of medicine and agriculture, and he increased the yield of qi nourishing grass several times at a young age, and he was the best choice for a rich country and a strong people.

But in fact, Zhao Yong knew that what kind of medicine and agriculture holy hand was simply a fart, the prince at that time was not yet twenty years old, such a young man, in addition to cultivation, there were all kinds of knowledge to learn, how could he have too deep attainments in medicine and agriculture?

The prince's cultivation and improvement of qi cultivation grass, and his own Yonghe Danfang, are actually all the way.

It is completely the product of the Zhu family and the Feng family relying on years of accumulation and joint efforts, which is nothing more than to add some bargaining chips to the crown prince to fight with the four princes.

Otherwise, how did the original crown princess die?

How did the concubine of the Feng family, who was originally just the crown princess, become the crown princess naturally?

Myself......

Zhao Yong didn't think he was very good, but he was really not bad compared to when the prince was young.

It's just that she is too young and her background is not good, and her mother has just been promoted to a concubine, and she is not a concubine in the Zhu family.

So he is destined to be the prince's right-hand man.

He had already resigned himself to his fate.

But being instructed by the prince to come over and cooperate with the killing of Zhao Ci like this, he was still a little angry.

I chatted with Zhang Deshu again.

It is determined that he can influence the whereabouts of the pill, so that Zhao Ciren will be empty.

Zhao Yong also asked people to take them to the residence.

……

There are several small courtyards with elegant environments behind the county lord's mansion, and not far from it is the important place of Qingyang County - the armory.

The guards in charge of escorting the pills had taken over the control of the armory, and they were divided into two shifts to stand guard, one team standing guard while the other team rested in the nearest courtyard.

As for the courtyard where the two princes lived, it was a little farther away.

"Why does the sky in the three northern counties feel gray?"

Zhao Ci glanced up, feeling an indescribable depression, he had always been curious about those ruins of the previous dynasty, after all, he had never seen it.

I didn't expect that just living in the northern three counties would be able to feel the oppression of the ruins of the previous dynasty.

You must know that these three county towns, which exist only to block one of the entrances, have trapped millions of people for generations.

So how magnificent must this ruin be?

"No wonder Kan Luotang comes here every autumn."

Zhao Ci sighed softly, he did not have the consciousness of being a prince, and he had not lost the ability to empathize with ordinary people.

Even if he never felt that he was a good person, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic when he thought of what happened to the people of the three northern counties.

The land in their hometown is poisonous and will make their bodies weak, but they are not even qualified to leave their homeland.

Not only they are, but so are their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

Even if you want to protect your hometown, you will struggle because of your congenital deficiencies.

Sympathy?

Sympathize.

But there is only sympathy.

Zhao Ci doesn't think he is a savior, so he still has the mentality of a marginal ob, just like picking up Douyin in his previous life, lamenting all kinds of misfortunes in life, and then turning off Douyin and continuing to shrink in his own one-third of an acre.

So now, he has a trace of sincere admiration for Kan Luotang.

Agreeing to that request would have caused a lot of trouble, but he really didn't regret it.

As for now......

Zhao Ci glanced at the somewhat gray sunset, the time had not yet passed, and it was placed in Linge, and the nightlife had not yet begun.

Let's go out and talk about it first.

He changed his clothes and walked towards another courtyard.

This trip to the three northern counties has been counted as the content of the government dispute, and it is not to enjoy happiness, so there are no coachmen and maids.

But that doesn't mean there aren't acquaintances.

"Huang Du read!"

"Hey! Here it comes! ”

Huang Du read Ma and slipped out of the courtyard, without taking off the armor on his body, still dressed as a chief guard: "What does Your Highness command?" ”

He was one of the two chief guards.

Zhao Ci patted his shoulder armor: "Change your clothes and go out with me for a walk." ”

Huang Duyu glanced at the coarse linen clothes on Zhao Ci's body, and his mind suddenly spun up: "Your Highness, I understand!" Micro service private interview, to observe the people's feelings, right? It is said that His Royal Highness is sympathetic to the people, and now it seems that it really deserves its reputation! ”

Ay?

Zhao Ci was a little surprised, feeling that this guy was also quite good at talking, and he didn't conform to the stereotype of having no emotional intelligence at all.

He smiled, "It's okay for me to dress like this, right?" ”

"Yes, you can! Of course! ”

Huang Duyu hurriedly praised: "Your Highness is dressed too similarly, more like a peasant than my second uncle!" ”

Zhao Ci: "......"

This man has a bit of emotional intelligence.

But not much!

This way of complimenting people is very strange......

Huang Duyu didn't feel that what he said was inappropriate, so he quickly went back to the house to change his clothes, and now there are two teams in rotation, in principle, they can rest, and accompany the envoy to observe the people's feelings, which is also the scope of the task.

After a while, he changed into a suit and came out.

"Your Highness!"

"Just go out and call Lao Zhao later."

"No problem, Lao Zhao!"

"It's pretty smooth!"

Zhao Ci left the small courtyard side by side with him, without riding a horse or a carriage, and rushed directly to the outskirts of the city.

On the way, he finally asked the question he had been puzzled by for a long time: "I said Lao Huang, your cultivation is not weak, Shenzang's twofold cultivation is about to be triple, even if it is placed in the inner guard, it is not weak, why did you fall to the gate of the palace?" ”

Ouchi guards are also hierarchical.

The highest rank was able to guard the Emperor on either side.

The lowest level can only look at the gate of the palace, which is the most tiring and the least impactful.

Most of those who can mix in to see the gate are worthy of reaching the physical realm, and there are almost no like Huang Duyu.

Zhao Ci used to think that he was just a physical realm, but when he saw the list of convoy guards, everyone was shocked.

Huang Du was a little annoyed: "I don't know either!" Some people say that it is because I can't speak and offend my superiors, but I think I'm quite good at talking! ”

Zhao Ci: "......"

Never mind.

This is just a lot of questions.

The two looked leisurely, but in fact, they walked very fast, and they arrived in the north of the city in a short time.

By the time it arrived, the sun had already sunk half below the horizon, and the whole city was shrouded in gray and blue night, except for the twilight of the afterglow.

The streets were deserted, and there was no bustle of singing.

Only a few taverns have two dim lanterns hanging from their gates.

Huang Duyu explained in a low voice: "Lao Zhao, the three northern counties are not like Linge, and there are no attractive industries in the city, and those officials who take the initiative to eat and drink are all transported from outside, and they will not eat and drink local grain and wine, so the people are not happy to come to live in the city." ”

"No wonder!"

Zhao Ci suddenly realized that the meal just now was very normal, even the most ordinary grains, there was no hint of malnutrition.

Not to mention poison.

He was a little curious: "There are nearly 10,000 officials in the three northern counties who eat and drink, are they all transported from outside?" ”

Huang Duyu nodded: "Of course!" Everyone is here to die, not to die. Although they are all cultivators, they will not be poisoned by local grain and meat, but they can't resist eating it for a long time. If they don't bring grain from abroad, they really can't get by. ”

Zhao Ci was a little surprised: "I feel that you are quite familiar with this side?" ”

"Hey!"

Huang Duyu smiled: "Don't tell Your Highness that when my father was still alive, he was a little official here, and I grew up with him in Qingyang County since I was a child." Otherwise, how could a person from a civilian background like me infiltrate the palace guards? ”

"Oh......"

Zhao Ci nodded thoughtfully, most of the palace guards were from big families, even if they were not the Seven Great Meritorious Families, they were either rich or noble.

After all, being on duty in front of the Son of Heaven is equivalent to adding one official product.

The suburban dragon is equal to a district of river crabs, which is the truth.

Civilians are really hard to mix.

"If you know about it."

Zhao Ci smiled, then picked a slightly lively tavern at random, and took Huang Du to read it.

I ordered a pot of turbid wine and two side dishes, and then found a corner and sat down.

Cold dishes are ready-made.

It won't be long before it arrives.

A plate of raw rice boiled in salted water, a plate of cold cucumbers.

Huang Du read that Zhao Ci picked up the chopsticks, and hurriedly stopped: "Old Zhao, are you really eating?" ”

"It's poisonous and can't die!"

Zhao Ci took a piece of raw rice and put it in his mouth, and it tasted okay.

It's just that the particles are a little shriveled, the taste is slightly bitter, and there is a faint musty smell.

The chef has done his best.

It's just not a good choice to satisfy hunger.

Although there are not many toxins, if ordinary people consume them for a long time, their bodies will collapse sooner or later.

Huang Du frowned slightly when he saw Zhao Ci reading it, and hurriedly took a bite together: "Lao Zhao, this is already good in the three northern counties, when we were hungry, we would run out and use them to satisfy our hunger, and then we were chased and beaten by our parents."

Later, there was another big trouble, and several children ate poorly, and the elders of their families joined forces to smash the store.

I haven't come out to eat since. ”

He said these words with some regret.

Zhao Ci sighed with emotion: "How is the relationship between the government and the people here?" ”

Huang Duyu shook his head: "No! The people of the three northern counties felt that they had sacrificed for their country and deserved to be treated kindly. But the officials were all transferred from outside, and they also felt that they were sacrificing for the country, and that they were not good people who came here, and their hearts were unbalanced.

So the two sides don't like each other, but one fist is big and the other fist is small, so they can't fight after all. ”

Zhao Ci: "......"

From the respective positions of both sides, it cannot be said who is at fault.

Just getting it together, it's a little tangled.

The two didn't say much.

Just eating raw rice without hurrying and listening to the other people in the tavern brag.

The lights in the tavern are dim, making it difficult to see each other's faces, but it can make people more sensitive to hearing, so it feels quite lively.

"Hey! Have you heard? Just this afternoon, a convoy came to Linge, saying that it had brought more than 10,000 Qi Cultivation Pills, all of which were given to our three northern counties by His Majesty. ”

"Wow! So much? Wait, give? Given away for nothing? Blessed are we? ”

"Yes! My family has a sense of qi since he was fifteen years old, he must be a good seedling of cultivation, if he can get a qi cultivation pill, not to mention whether he can embark on the path of cultivation, at least he will not get sick as often as I do. ”

"Blessed with a ball! It must have all been taken away by those who were in power. ”

"Not really! This time, of the 12,000 Qi Cultivation Pills, only 7,000 will be distributed to the officials, and the remaining 5,000 will be specially distributed to the people, as if anyone under the age of 18 who has a sense of qi or is seriously ill can give it a try. ”

"Really? I feel like it's a bit of a rip. ”

"What Fairy Luotang said in person can be fake? She said that the five thousand were specially begged by the ten princes to be given to the people by the emperor, and they were also used by the emperor to reward him with 200,000 taels. ”

"Fairy Luotang has spoken, it should be true."

"It's definitely not fake, otherwise what are you saying about the recent big statistics of household registration?"

"These ten highnesses are still weird."

"It's just that five thousand pills are a bit insufficient."

"What do you want for nothing? This time the distribution of pills, there are not many people who are eligible, but it is one or two hundred thousand people, choose one out of three or four, and your family's hope is still quite big. ”

"Whew! There will be at least 5,000 healthy people, and if they become small officials, we will be able to live a better life. ”

Hear this conversation.

The two had different expressions.

Zhao Ci knew in his heart, no wonder he hadn't heard Kan Luotang's letter in the past few days, and even the brochure was handed over by Zhu Li, and it turned out that he had already come to the three northern counties in advance.

My nominal fiancée is really good, and she has attributed all her favors to herself.

Looking at the pious appearance of these people when they mentioned the Luotang Fairy, it seems that she is really quite prestigious among the people.

Good things are done a lot.

Indeed, there will be good fortune.

It's just that this matter, I'm afraid it won't go so well.

He looked at Huang Du and read: "Old Huang, with your understanding of the three northern counties, what will be the direction of these five thousand pills?" ”

Huang Duyu touched his nose a little embarrassed: "Five thousand pills will definitely be sent out, but whether they can all be sent to the hands of ordinary people, then I'm not sure." ”

Zhao Ci grinned.

Really!

He felt that it was a little tricky, whether it was a feudal dynasty or a modern society, the most classic problem was often the decree above, no matter how good the starting point was, when it was implemented on the people, there would be all kinds of problems.

It's true that he is a priest, but when he comes here, he is a complete commander of the light pole.

Whatever you see or hear, it is largely up to these local officials to decide.

You can't count all the lists by yourself, can you?

It seems to be a little tricky.

He glanced at the people in the hall.

[Li Xun's current wish]: My nephew can be lucky and get the Qi Cultivation Pill. Wish completion rewards: Comprehension +1, Luck Charm x1.

[Wang Zhuang's current wish]: Wu'er Wang Teng can increase his luck and get the Qi Cultivation Pill. Wish completion rewards: Comprehension +1, Luck Charm x1.

[Park Chang's current wishes]: ......

It was dense, and it was all about the wishes of the Qi Cultivation Pill.

Although the comprehension value is not high, these are not people who are qualified to directly obtain the Qi Cultivation Pill after all.

In other words, it's all extra.

For those who are eligible to get it directly, the 10-point comprehension value is a certainty.

This luck charm seems to be somewhat useful.

If you can get it in bulk, it may be very useful.

Of course.

Provided that all goes well.

Zhao Ci stood up and said in a low voice: "Lao Huang, do me a favor!" ”

Huang Duyu hurriedly said: "You say! ”

Zhao Ci said in a deep voice: "Help me inquire about Kan Luotang's whereabouts, do you have a score?" ”

This is the only person he is sure to be able to help himself and has influence among the people of the three northern counties.

It's hard for the commander to get things done, so he can only shake people.

In fact, from the time of the dust washing banquet just now, he wanted to send someone to Linge to invite Kan Luotang out of the mountain, regardless of whether it was a big role or not, it was better than nothing, but he didn't expect her to arrive before himself.

"There is a spectrum!"

Huang Duyu patted his chest with confidence: "I don't have a wide network, it's no problem to find someone, although it may take a lot of time, but I can definitely find it." It's the same as when you go out, don't care if it goes well or not, when the time comes, you will naturally be able to pee out. ”

Zhao Ci: "??? ”

Lao Huang!

You have hidden a double cultivation, but you are looking at the gate in the palace.

It's really not a loss!
