Han Dao world

Chapter 393 See you late
Zang Hong didn't feel happy, but rather disappointed.

"Does Yanmen still have a registered permanent residence?"

"Not many, the whole county is about the same as Dongwuyang." Xun Yu said lightly: "Of course, these are only registered registered households. Inspired by the emperor, recently there have been more and more Hu people from outside the Great Wall to settle in the Great Wall, but they have not been accepted. Indoctrination, management is even more difficult."

As he said that, Xun Yu showed a slight smile. "If Ziyuan finds it difficult and doesn't want to take up the post, I can write a letter to the emperor on your behalf. It just so happens that I am short of people here. If you are willing, you can stay and be a county magistrate."

Zang Hong snorted. "You don't need to provoke me." Then he said: "Is there such a shortage of people in Hedong, even the county magistrate?"

Xun Yu shook his head with a smile. "It's not a lack of people, it's a lack of capable people."

Zang Hong curled his lips involuntarily, and when he was about to sneer, Xun Yu waved his hand to signal him to be calm.

"Today's Hedong is different from the past. It is not only the capital of the Han Dynasty, but also the foundation and even a sample of the Han Dynasty's revival. Therefore, we cannot be satisfied with the stability of the people and sufficient taxes, but also follow the kingly way. The county magistrate is an official who is close to the people and educates the people. The foundation is that only those who have both morality and ability are incompetent. Looking at the whole of Hedong, there are only two who can basically meet the requirements, Liu Ba and Liu Zichu, the governor of Anyi, and Jia Kui and Jia Liangdao, the governor of Jiangyi."

"Jia Kui and Jia Liang Dao?"

"He is from Xiangling, Hedong. He is very young. You may not know him."

Zang Hong was somewhat disapproving.There are no big families in Hedong, which is the consensus among scholars.It's child's play for a person from Hedong, and he is very young, to be treated so highly by Xun Yu.

It seems that Xun Yu is a little too famous.

Zang Hong originally had the intention of staying in Hedong, but now he no longer thinks about it.Although the entrance of Yanmen is good, the more soldiers and horses there are, the more opportunities to fight Yuan Shao in the future.

Zang Hong stayed in Anyi for one night, then set off immediately.

Xun Yu suggested that he give up riding a carriage and choose to ride a horse.From here to the north, there are more and more mountains, and it is inconvenient to travel by car.

Chen Rong had practical experience and advised Zang Hong to take up his post on horseback.

Zang Hong thought that when he took office in Yanmen, he would inevitably have to deal with cavalry, so he accepted Xun Yu's suggestion.His father, Zang Min, once served as the general of the Xiongnu Zhonglang and led his troops out of the fortress. He practiced riding and archery since he was a child. He always had horses at home, and his riding skills were good.

Xun Yu provided Zang Hong with two horses.

The emperor captured a large number of horses in northern Xinjiang, and sent some of them to the east of the river to serve as postal servants.The prefect's mansion also kept some, and usually sent orders to the counties by riding horses, which was several times faster than humans.

Zang Hong started on the road again.

Thinking of what Xun Yu said, Zang Hong paid attention to the customs and customs along the way to see how far the governance of Anyi was from the kingly way.

There is a large area of ​​cultivated land on both sides of the Su River in the north of Anyi City. It is the midsummer season, and the wheat seedlings in the field grow very fast.In the fields, men and women can be seen everywhere. In addition to the farmers working in the fields, there are also little shepherd boys herding cattle and sheep, and half-grown children chasing geese and ducks by the water.

Zang Hong soon discovered a different phenomenon. Many of these half-grown children were carrying letters, either in their belts, or hung on the horns, or held in their hands.Although some children did not bring books, what they hummed and recited were the teachings of some saints.

There are "The Analects of Confucius", "Book of Filial Piety", and "Mencius".

Zang Hong was somewhat surprised. "The Analects of Confucius" and "Book of Filial Piety" are common enlightenment books, but "Mencius" is not. Most of the people who read "Mencius" are scholars who have a certain foundation and are dedicated to learning, not suitable for beginners.

Out of curiosity, he asked a young man who recited aloud "Heaven will send a great mandate to all people", and then he learned that "Mencius" is one of the enlightenment textbooks of various schools in Hedong, and the teacher is a disciple of the imperial servant Zhao Qi.

Zang Hong met Zhao Qi.When Zhao Qi was ordered to appease the Guandong and persuade Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan to stop their troops, Zang Hong had a relationship with him.I know that he has put a lot of effort into "Mencius", but there are not many friends, so I didn't expect to find a place to use it in Hedong.

Zang Hong was very curious, and decided to visit Zhao Qi when passing through Taiyuan.

Xun Yu told him that Zhao Qi had returned from Kanto and was in Taiyuan.

When passing by Jiangyi, Zang Hong thought of Xun Yu's praise for Jia Kui, the magistrate of Jiangyi, and decided to stay overnight in Jiangyi, and inquire about Jia Kui by the way.

After staying in the post house, Zang Hong called the post chief and asked about Jia Kui.

The postmaster answered a few words, and asked a casual question when he left. "Did you come from Kanto?"

Zang Hong didn't think much about it, and nodded in recognition.

The postmaster left, and Zang Hong sat down to eat.Before he finished eating, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, as if someone had surrounded the yard where he lived.Immediately afterwards, a young man walked in, followed by two soldiers.

The postmaster also followed in and pointed at Zang Hong. "Jia Jun, that's him."

The young man walked up to Zang Hong and cupped his hands. "Mr. Zang, Jia Kui, the commander of Jiangyi, dare to ask for advice."

Zang Hong got up, greeted Jia Kui, looked at the postmaster, then at the soldiers waiting in full force, and said with a smile, "What does the Ming court mean?"

Jia Kui didn't explain, but looked Zang Hong up and down. "Kanto people?"

Chen Rong just stepped forward to explain, but was stopped by Zang Hong.

"Yes."

"Are you coming to Hedong for business or for pleasure?"

Zang Hong shook his head. "neither."

He came to Hedong in response to the Son of Heaven's conquest, but Chen Rong had never seen the Son of Heaven, the imperial edict was in the hands of Chen Gong, and Zang Hong did not have any proof.His biography was issued by the Governor's Mansion of Hedong, but it didn't reveal his identity, he was no different from an ordinary scholar.

As for the official position of the prefect of Yanmen, he only heard it from Xun Yu, and he has not actually fulfilled the position, and there is no evidence for it.

Apparently, Jia Kui was very wary of the Kanto people. The reason why the Postmaster went to report may be due to his accent and his interest in Jia Kui himself, causing suspicion, so that Jia Kui not only came here in person, but also sent people to surround the Posthouse. Make.

This is to take him seriously.

Zang Hong became very interested in Jia Kui, and even believed Xun Yu's words a little bit.

Among other things, Jia Kui is very vigilant, and governing the county is quite like governing the army.

Because of family tradition, Zang Hong likes to learn the art of war, and Jia Kui is very fond of him.

"What are you doing here at Hedong?" Jia Kui paced back and forth, with his hand on the knife ring around his waist.

"Does the Ming court know about the alliance between the Guandong Prefectures and counties to seek Dong?"

"Know a thing or two."

"I am the main ally."

Jia Kui was stunned, staring at Zang Hong again and again, and suddenly said: "Then Taiyuan Taiyuan Guangling Zangjun Zhongming is you?"

"That's the father."

Jia Kui widened his eyes. "Are you the Zang Hong who took revenge for the old master based on Dongwuyang?"

"Exactly." Zang Hong stroked his beard.

Jia Kui laughed and patted his forehead. "I'm really ignorant and ignorant. The pearl is in front of me, but I treat it as a fish's eye. Ashamed, ashamed."

While talking, Jia Kui apologized and ordered people to remove the siege.

Zang Hong didn't mind. "Jiangyi is in the hinterland of Hedong, why is the Ming court so vigilant?"

Jia Kui shook his head again and again. "Mr. Zang does not know that Jiangyi is located at the intersection of the north and the south, and the east and the west. There are many people coming and going, and many of them are carefully working in the Kanto. I have a heavy responsibility, so I have to pay more attention. The emperor's line is located, and there is a rebellion. Not nice."

"Will Kanto Sosaku come here to inquire about news?"

Jia Kui sighed. "Guo Tu escaped from Hedong through Jiangyi."
