Chapter 45: Shangluo

The so-called ancestral road is the meaning of travelers sacrificing to the god of the road and blessing the safety of the road.

Of course, in ancient times, it was difficult to travel, and money was spent. Therefore, when you go out to send each other, you often send a sum of money as a road fare, which is called ancestral money.

Originally, this money was just a meaning, but the county magistrate didn't know that it was guilt, and he couldn't let Wang Zhenling go to the Guozijian. is still the reason for the death of the rabbit and the sadness of the fox, in short, the money sent exceeded Wang Zhenling's expectations.

When no one was around, Wang Hu, who was helping to receive the gift, approached Wang Zhenling's ear with a strange expression, said a few words, and handed over the money bag.

Wang Zhenling opened it and took a look, but saw that what was in the money bag was not ordinary copper coins, but actually golden money, as many as 100 pieces.

One piece of money is worth a thousand copper coins, and that's a million dollars!

That's a lot of money!

Wang Zhenling sighed in his heart and put the money away. Once again, he went to the end in the direction of Danling County.

This money should be of great use!

Today, the son loves money, Xiyuan sells officials, and the official position of the minister is clearly marked.

Wang Zhenling wants to live and redeem himself with a huge amount of money, maybe it is still very feasible!

Therefore, Wang Zhenling brought all the money he had accumulated for the official in the past few years, and he was afraid that it would be tens of millions.

Some of the money from the original search of the Black Water Shrine was also here!

Coupled with the gift of this county order, this is already a huge amount of money.

After such a delay, at night, Wang Zhenling's team had not yet left Danling County and lived in the pavilion.

According to Dacheng's rules, Wang Zhenling, as an official, is now going to take office, but he has a pavilion to be responsible for eating.

Wang Zhenling brought hundreds of guards along the road, but none of them had this kind of treatment, just provided firewood hot pot stoves.

Otherwise, these pavilions would have been eaten up long ago!

And such a small pavilion can't accommodate so many people.

Therefore, Wang Zhenling and his subordinates simply set up tents outside the pavilion and slept in the open.

As for the food, tents, and other things, they were all prepared long before the departure.

Wang Zhenling slept less and less at this time, and in the dead of night, he was still reading.

Suddenly he sensed something, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and stepped out of the tent.

Then I saw the fog surging and spreading, and all the nearby pavilions and tents seemed to disappear.

A carriage staggered along, illuminated by two dark green lanterns in front of it.

When he came to the front, he saw three little ones jumping out of the carriage.

After not seeing each other for a while, these three little guys seem to have grown up a little more, and they are complaining when they see Wang Zhenling, but they are happy.

Then that Hu Sanlang turned out, bowed down and said to Wang Zhenling: "I heard that the county monarch is going to Shenluo to enter the court, and my parents asked me to send ancestral money!"

As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, someone brought up the box.

Such a country demon god originated, and he didn't know what to implicit, and when the lid of the box was opened, he could see that the box was full of gold, silver, treasures such as money, jade, and jewelry.

When Wang Zhenling was in the daytime, he received the ancestral money from the Danling County Order, which was as much as one million.

And the contents of this box, Wang Zhenling's rough estimate, at least have to be worth more than 10 million.

couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "Why are there so many!"

"Shenluo Tiandu, the most prosperous place in the world, the flowers must be not small. If the county gentleman goes, the money will be more abundant, and he will not weaken his prestige!" Hu Sanlang said.

Wang Zhenling listened to it and knew that it was good. This trip to Shenluo will definitely cost a lot of money.

Even if you have tens of millions of dollars on you, you don't know if it's enough.

It's always good to bring more!

It is really a long time to see people's hearts, and adversity to see the truth!

"Thank you Hu Gong for me!" Wang Zhenling said.

That Hu Sanlang said: "Don't dare!"

On the second day, Wang Zhenling continued to set off, which accelerated the speed.

Traveling all the way like this, it is getting farther and farther away from Danling.

Gradually, when I came to a place, I saw that the village was depressed and the fields were barren.

After asking, I learned that there had been a plague in this place in the past, and hundreds of people died of disease.

Having said this, everyone remembered the great plague last year, and they couldn't help but reminisce.

Last year's great plague spread across all states of the world, and the deaths were uncountable.

Fortunately, Danling County is not a hard-hit area, and the death is not too heavy.

For example, in some hard-hit areas, it was the whole township, and the whole township people were sick and died.

There are even some cities where not even a single person survived!

The place they passed through today was the hardest hit area.

In the event of a flood or drought, those big clans can still dodge, and even hoard and live strangely.

And under this plague, there is no distinction between good and bad, and all of them cannot escape.

And this kind of plague has become more and more frequent in recent years, almost once every two or three years.

The Son of Heaven has plagued several times, but all of them have not succeeded. For the imperial court, the blow to the prestige of the Son of Heaven is naturally great.

It is said that all kinds of emperors lost their morality and led to plagues.

It also makes everyone in the world lose their hearts!

Generally speaking, the Son of Heaven is the son of the Emperor of Heaven and governs the mountains and rivers on behalf of the Heavens.

In the event of a calamity, the Son of Heaven intervenes to cause the calamity, and there is usually a god descending to quell the calamity.

And this also reflects the divine legitimacy of the Son of Heaven!

At that time, Wang Zhenling didn't think so.

Looking back now, look at that time period.

It seems that it was those outsiders who caught up with the emperor and started to cooperate. These plagues are spreading like crazy!

The water was too deep in it, and Wang Zhenling finally jumped out, of course he didn't want to think about these things.

Traveling all the way, especially in the land of Yuzhou, among the hardest-hit areas last year, I saw that even counties crossed counties, there was a depression everywhere, the population was sparse, and even the cities were empty!

However, although the plague was last year, there were too many deaths to make up for it in just one year.

Coupled with the lack of government performance and other reasons, in short, walking in these places, even in the past year, it is still terrifying.

The local government was paralyzed, the fields were abandoned, and many people fled into the mountains and forests, swarming into the forest.

Their team encountered several ragged bandits in succession.

It's the people who can't survive!

But these people are pitiful to say, and the cruelty is also appalling.

Fortunately, this team in the Wang clan is not small, and there are many young and strong, otherwise, if there are few people, it is possible that those thieves will not only rob all their belongings and clothes, but also fall into the temples of those people's five organs......

Fortunately, the Wang family not only has a lot of hands, but also among the big clans, there are many young and strong people who practice martial arts.

In addition, it is well-armed, and even has two crossbows. This is even more shocking to the rabble!

"The county has been affected by the disaster for so long, and the government has not allowed the people to resume production and live and work in peace and contentment, but they are still gathering in the mountains and forests for bandits.
