Chapter 24: Peace and Unevenness, Handan First Sight

"Where is the boundary from here?" He Hanwen has been bumping on the carriage for more than half a year, and he has long been in the mood to be entertained everywhere, and at this moment he is only looking forward to arriving in Zhuozhou as soon as possible, and even a troublemaker who likes to nag has nothing to say after talking endlessly for four or five months.

Hearing He Hanwen's question, the tide maker who had been silent for a day could be regarded as having something to say, and quickly replied: "Young master, you can be regarded as asking, it is not too much to suffocate... ”

"What is the young master asking, what is it, where is there something to say, there is nothing!" Xiaozhu was bored when he thought of Rory who was making the tide. The story of the tide is still very interesting at first, but after listening to it a lot, it is just those few routines over and over again, and gradually it becomes boring.

"Oh, girl, don't say that, these are all necessary... Seeing that the conversation had begun, Lang Chao'er was very happy.

"Xiaozhu, when you hear what he says, it doesn't matter, you have the right to be a pastime. If you don't let the tide speak, he's afraid he'll die of a terrible death. He Hanwen leaned on the inner wall of the carriage, squinted his eyes and said, Li Shen had occupied the top of his head at the moment, and quietly snored.

Xiaozhu saw that He Hanwen had spoken, so he didn't have a choice, and let the tide go.

"Young master, further ahead is Handan, the journey has already passed more than half of the way! We need to go into Handan City to buy some dry food, the Central Plains generation has a famine this year, and after the border of Handan, food is a big problem. Lang Chaoer explained.

Ho Hanwen: "Famine, drought or flood?"

Not only that, but looking at Handan more eastward, there are even more demonic winds that blow off the trees, and uproot the crops, and there is no harvest in many places, and even worse, people are hungry and cannibalistic. ”

He Hanwen: "Why don't the county guards, assassins, etc. give their children tomorrow and open a warehouse to help the people?"

Chao'er: "Young master, those big men don't care about so much, that's it, they're still collecting grain!"

He Hanwen: "People are starving to death, if the land is full of hunger, where can we get food? I look at a certain barn, everything is full of overflow, and there are even more mildew, this is very unwise! If the people are hungry, there will be trouble, and if there is trouble, the society will be unstable. ”

Chao'er: "If those big men have the benevolence of the young master, or the wisdom of you,"

He Hanwen: "It's nothing more than a sharp word first, those guys are not stupid, they are not guinea dogs." ”

Lang Chao'er: "We don't know this, we individuals only care about whether we can eat enough, young master, there is Handan City in front." ”

With a pull of the reins, the tide stopped the horse, slowed down, and joined the march into the city. I saw a group of soldiers at the gate of the city constantly checking and inquiring, and those homeless people were cowering and lining up, bowing their heads one by one, like a team of lambs to the slaughter, numb and slaughtered.

He Hanwen lifted the curtain of the car, and saw that the long line was probably hundreds of meters long, so he instructed Lang Chao'er to ask what was going on—he thought that these homeless people really had nothing to interrogate, and if the county was worried about rioting, they could only be isolated outside the city.

Immediately turned over from the frame and looked forward, and found a merchant, who asked. The merchant cowered, not daring to answer. Lang Chao'er took out two five baht, and with them, and a little dry food, he replied: "Recently, there has been a great drought, and the people are hungry, and there are people from the "Taiping Sect" who have risen up to distribute grain, and gathered the congregation, raided the city, and called for the people to divide the grain. The government intends to receive help, but it is afraid that thieves will cause chaos, so it will be investigated for some reason. ”

If the tide is believed, it is repaid and repaid.

When He Hanwen heard this, he thought to himself: "I see. He asked again: "The history of Jizhou thorns... Let me think about it, now it should be Gongsun Du, Gongsun Shengji. ”

Lang Chao'er said: "How do we know about these big men, the young master doesn't know about this little one." ”

He Hanwen said: "It's okay, wait to enter the city." ”

About an hour, it was He Hanwen's turn to be in the carriage.

He Hanwen's carriage is a double ride, more luxurious, which is not used by ordinary merchants, the soldiers defending the city saw this, did not dare to slack off, just exchanged documents and checked the waist card, and then let go, He Hanwen and Xiaozhu did not even get out of the car, all by Lang Chao'er to deal with it alone.

He Hanwen had the heart to visit the county, so he asked the soldiers guarding the place where the governance was located. The soldiers knew He Hanwen's identity, so they quickly showed Captain Ming. The captain was patrolling the city walls, and when he saw a soldier coming to report it, and someone saw him, he was very displeased, and he wanted to excuse himself. That notification soldier is caught in the middle, and it's not easy to do. That's it, that's it, tell He Hanwen's identity one by one, and the patrol captain is willing, go down to the city wall, and ask him to meet at the side gate.

He Hanwen saw that the captain came down to see him and got out of the car, so he saluted first. The captain was immediately shocked and said bluntly: "The son has tormented the villain, but when he asks, the villain knows everything." ”

He Hanwen said: "The general guards the important places in the city and maintains law and order, which deserves a courtesy from the juniors." The younger generation's surname is He, the name is Hanwen, it is the He family in Nanyang, and now the second son of Hu Ben Zhonglang will be He Jin, who wants to go to Zhuo County, and wants to visit the county Cheng Lord, please also recommend. ”

When the captain saw this, he called a soldier and said, "Gongzi He, fortunately." In the next duty, you can't leave easily. Although Handan is adjacent to Yecheng, it is still an important place, so why not take this person as a guide and go to the place of governance?"

He Hanwen was naturally happy to see that there was a leader in the way, and he also saved a lot of trouble, and he thought that the problem of grain procurement along the way could be solved smoothly, so he said: "This is wonderful! There is General Lao! If you meet the county Cheng in person, you will be able to say bluntly that the general has fulfilled his duties!"

The general thanked him, said a few words, and then said, "Why don't you let him go quickly?" and then continued his duty.

The soldier brought an old horse, led He Hanwen's car cover in front, and walked slowly.

Walking to the city, I saw the homeless people on both sides, and the government set up a pot on the side of the street, with half-hot rice soup inside, and bran and vegetable leaves, which were being given to the hungry. Two bowls for the man, one for the woman and the children. The scene was complicated, but it was chaotic and orderly, and there was no one shouting. He Hanwen couldn't help but be surprised by this county-this situation is really good, I heard that there are rebels in the further north, looting the city and setting fire to the streets.

He couldn't help but praise the methods of the county here, and his heart to visit was even stronger.

After a short time, he walked to the place of governorship, and when the guide soldier went to report with his waist card, he saw a man with a long beard walking out quickly.

He Hanwen had already gotten out of the car, sent the tide to settle the carriage, Xiaozhu waited beside He Hanwen, and Li Shen was standing on He Hanwen's shoulder.

I saw the long-bearded man clapping his hands three times, opening his arms, and saying: "He Gongzi! I have admired my name for a long time! I have been friends with God for a long time! I saw it today, it was really a great luck!"

He Hanwen was surprised, he didn't know this man, how did this man know about him? He suddenly became cautious. However, Li Shen leaned his head slightly on He Hanwen's head, and her voice sounded in his head: "This is my fellow senior brother, don't worry, my own people." ”

Ho Hanwen: "!!"
