Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 298 Could it be Xanadu?
Fan Zhi was so frightened that he trembled all over, he pulled Jia Yanchang's sleeve with trembling lips.

"Liangzhou Gamo is really tough, far better than Lanzhou Gamo!"

After finishing speaking, Fan Zhi still wanted to maintain his dignity as an angel of the imperial court. He tried his best not to let tears of despair fall from his eyes.

The scene that I can recall now is the moment when I fainted last night.

He discussed with Jia Yanchang last night and planned to send the knights to Liangzhou to report, but they were ambushed before the knights set off.

In the evening with a few flakes of snow, Fan Zhi was eating scones with Jia Yanchang, discussing poems, those Gamo people seemed to be drilled out of the ground.

When they were in Lanzhou, the knights who fought back countless thieves and bandits were thrown to the ground before they could react.

Just as Fan Zhi opened his mouth to scream, a handful of snow mixed with silt was stuffed into his mouth.The twenty or so of them were all brought under control within the time it took to reach half a cup of tea.

During this ambush, Fan Angel was hit hard on the neck and completely lost consciousness. When he woke up, it was the current scene.

However, the situation seems to be a little different from what he thought. After he finished these few words and was still thinking about whether he should declare his identity loudly to deal with the enemy, Jia Yanchang had already held back Fan Zhi's hand in embarrassment. hand.

"Angels, don't be alarmed! Although this is indeed Liangzhou Yanmo, it has been subdued by Zhang Jun. It is really a misunderstanding!"

Misunderstand?

Hearing this, Fan Zhi's eyes covered by a layer of water vapor gradually became clearer.

He looked around, and sure enough, they didn't look like prisoners at all, because no one was tying them up.

Jia Yanchang even changed into a new set of clothes, and although he was sitting on the ground, the ground was covered with a thick blanket.

In front of him, Fan Zhi found four warriors with fierce eyes, but somewhat shy brows.

But look at these samurai suits.Fan Zhi's heart, which had just relaxed, lifted up again.

If what Jia Yanchang said was true, then the warriors on the opposite side should be Zhang Erlang, the great-grandson of Zhang Yichao, who was subdued by the Yanmo tribe in Liangzhou.

But in this situation, Fan Zhi didn't think his life was saved, because according to the domineering character of warriors in this era.

Not to mention facing a small civil servant like him, even facing such figures as Privy Scholars and Jieshuai, it is very arrogant.

After such a thing happened with a high probability, the first reaction of these warriors was not to come up to apologize with shame, but to choose to do nothing, kill him directly, and then argue with the court.

Seeing that Fan Zhi woke up, Jia Yanchang quickly helped him to sit on the Hu bed beside him.

Fan Zhi was a little bit on pins and needles, but the next scene shattered his views even more.

After Jia Yanchang helped Fan Zhi to sit down, he walked over and yelled at the leader, Wang Tongtong.

Wang Tongtong wiped the saliva off his face, but he didn't dare to speak back at all.

Why talk back!His mother, the Jia family, came from Jia Yanchang's Jia family, but it was originally a small house on the edge of the Jia family, and Jia Yanchang was the pillar of the Jia family.

After Wang Tongtong returned with Zhang Zhaodong, Jia Yanchang represented the Jia family and absorbed Wang Tongtong's family into the core of the Jia family.

Wang Tong's younger sister even married Jia Yanchang's nephew, which was unimaginable before.

So now that Jia Yanchang is Wang Tongtong's uncle, if he is scolded by his uncle, how dare his nephew talk back?What's more, they did attack the angels of the court.

Wang Tongxin didn't dare to speak back, and Wen Chongle, Cui Huxin and others were even more afraid.

In the past two months, Zhang Zhao sent a large number of civil servants to assist the Six Ministries of Yanmo in relocating, reclaiming wasteland, and building houses.

These Zhang Zhao relied on his grandfather Song's family and a large number of low-level civil officials trained by himself, which played a very important role in the migration of the six departments.

At the same time, in order to establish his authority, Zhang Zhao forced all the ministries to obey the power of civil officials in the Jiedu Yamen. For this reason, dozens of people have been beaten.

At this time, Hexi and Longyou can be regarded as a clear stream in this era of extreme arrogance of warriors.

In the eyes of these Yanmo tribesmen, there is no difference between civil servants and military officials, only the difference between officials and civilians, and the difference between the ranks of officials.

Therefore, the few people who got into trouble could only let Jia Yanchang rant.

But all of this, in the eyes of Fan Zhi, who is used to domineering warriors, is the same as reading a fairy tale.

To say that the Three Views are shattered is an understatement. If in Luoyang, the eastern capital, which civil servant dared to reprimand the warriors like this, if he was not killed on the spot, he would be killed by thieves breaking into his home in the middle of the night.

But looking at it, Fan Zhi suddenly felt an unstoppable envy in his heart.

It is said that in the Central Plains at this time, as a simple civil servant, it is actually very hopeless.

Not only is his status low, but he also doesn't have much power, which is about equal to the master Qian Liang of a warrior.

In places where there are large Jiedushi, the power of civil officials such as county magistrates has been almost eroded by warriors, and an ordinary general can show off his power in front of them.

After reprimanding Wang Tongtong and others, Jia Yanchang reckoned that Fan Zhi's anger should have dissipated a little.

So he turned to Fan Zhi and said: "I didn't expect that the old man had been away for only a few months, and the envoy Zhang had already conquered Liangzhou Yanmo.

That being the case, the angels might as well wait here in this city with me, and let them send fast horses to Liangzhou to report. Zhang Jun will definitely send tooth soldiers to meet me when he gets the news. "

Of course Fan Zhi had no objection, Jia Yanchang thought he would be very angry, but in fact, Fan Zhi was very grateful for his life now.

But at the same time, he was deeply curious about the relatively equal status between civil and military forces in Liangzhou, and the military envoy Zhang Zhaozhang who caused this phenomenon itself.

Now he really wants to meet this legendary-sounding figure, and wants to see what kind of person he is.

In Liangzhou City, Zhang Zhao was not as angry as Wang Tongtong thought for Wang Tongtong and others who mistakenly captured the angel from Jia Yanchang's court.

Even Zhang Zhao felt that what Wang Communication did was not a big mistake, although this guy is not very reliable in many places, especially in terms of personal life.

But this time, in terms of military affairs, Zhang Zhao felt that he did the right thing. This also reminded Zhang Zhao that Hongchiling was the key route from Liangzhou to Lanzhou, and he had to send troops to guard it.

And he also grasped a piece of information very keenly, that is, Wang Communication reported that the court angels had been attacked many times in Weizhou, especially Lanzhou since Qinzhou.

This was good news for Zhang Zhao, because he was wondering where to find Lanzhou Yan Mo's fault, and they finally brought the blame to his door.

Zhang Zhao even touched his chin.He even wondered if he could kill one or two of the court angel's entourage, and then put the blame on Lanzhou Gamo?
Fan Zhi, who was captured in Wucheng, didn't know that the source of their greatest life threat was actually not the Hexi and Longyou warriors he was worried about, but Zhang Zhao, the ruthless Guiyi Army envoy himself.

While waiting for Liangzhou to send troops to escort them these days, Fan Zhi also discovered the biggest difference between Liangzhou and other states, whether it was Lanzhou, Weizhou, or Qinzhou, which belonged to the imperial court.

For example, Wucheng Shouzhuo has hundreds of residents, but Fan Zhi rarely sees them wandering the streets.

These hurried middle-aged and even young and middle-aged women seem to have endless work to do in the slack winter.

Anyway, I rode his donkey and looked around for the past few days. Under the organization of a small local official, these residents were either building new canals, leveling roads, or reclaiming wasteland.

Sometimes they will be organized together for large-scale learning.

The content of the study is often an old farmer with obvious Han characteristics, teaching a group of tribesmen who look like Hu people, how to choose seeds?How to farm?How to skillfully use cattle?

To Fan Zhi, this both surprised and shocked him. In his heart, he felt that this was what a court should do.

The imperial courts in the Central Plains were busy fighting for each other, but far away in the remote place in Hexi, which was regarded as a barbarian, they could actually see the scene of persuading farmers to teach farming.

And they did a better job, at least gathering experienced old farmers to teach other Hu farmers farming skills, which was something Fan Zhi had never thought of before.

Fan Zhi was watching from the side. He watched the old farmer explain to others how to plant spring wheat in detail.

Don't worry that the old farmer spoke very carefully, and the people at the end of the class also listened very carefully.

Although none of them can read and write, they learn how to plow, plow, and use oxen from old farmers very quickly.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Fan Zhi felt a little dazed.

The majestic officials stood by and followed the temptation, the experienced old farmers did not hide their secrets, and Hu'er with a knife and bow was earnestly learning the art of farming.

Even the toddler did not mess around, but watched the adults quietly, remembering their actions in his mind.

Could it be that there is a holy king coming to the world?

Fan Zhi suddenly remembered a line from Du Gongbu's poem, "To Jun Yao and Shun, and then make the customs come true."

In the time of Yao and Shun, shouldn't this be the scene?

Suddenly, with a jump in his heart, King Qin Sao Liuhe came from Hexi Guanzhong.

The Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty became an emperor, and he also relied more on the power of Guanzhong.

The royal family of the former Tang Dynasty originated directly from Hexi in Longyou, and the nobles in Longxi were the basic base of Li Tang.

That military envoy has already occupied Hexi, and it is only a matter of time before he swallows Longyou. What will he want to do after Hexi Longyou is in his hands?
The whining ox horn blew, and the old farmers who were teaching farming skills stopped, while the young and healthy women packed up their things and prepared to mount their horses and leave.

Fan Zhi led the donkey and stopped the old farmer who was about to leave, "I have learned a lot from my husband's teaching of farming techniques. Do you teach them here every day? What's the meaning of the sound of the cow's horn?"

The old farmer saw that he was well-dressed, had an extraordinary temperament, and he spoke with a foreigner's accent, so he guessed that he was the imperial court angel in the city.

It's just that he didn't expect it to be the angel himself. The old farmer thought he was the entourage of the court angel, so he cupped his hands at Fan Zhi and said.

"The method of farming, the little old man has been working for more than [-] years, so naturally he has some experience, Zhang Jun sent someone to compile a compilation of the elders of each family.

How to choose?How to farm and so on have been promulgated regulations, as long as the youngest memorizes, plus his own experience, it is not difficult to teach and teach others.

As for the sound of the cow horn, it is time to build the canal today. Now that they have finished their lectures, they have to hurry up and build the canal. "

After Fan Zhi heard this, she couldn't stop talking. She saw some people going out to reclaim wasteland in the morning, learning farming again at noon, and repairing canals in the afternoon.

Such heavy labor, even healthy women have to go, how can the people support it?At the end of the new attachment, I'm afraid it will cause civil disorder!

The old farmer saw Fan Zhi's doubts, and he pointed to the west.

"My lord, if you have any doubts, you can go to the place where the water canal is built, and you will naturally understand."

Fan Zhi nodded, bid farewell to the old farmer, and rode on his donkey again, sauntering towards the canal.

After only walking a few miles, Fan Zhi was stunned by the scene in front of him.

There are at least a thousand men and women working hard here. Several wide canals were built with mud mixed with wooden frames filled with stones.

It seems that they want to bring the water of the big river hovering at the foot of Hongchi Ridge to this place to irrigate the farmland.

Here, he did not hear the wailing and wailing of the Central Plains court when the corvee was conscripted.

I didn't see Ding Zhuang's face ashen and lifeless.

There is no scene where the officials and supervisors on the side are slightly unsatisfactory, and the scene of the whip flying together.

On the contrary, here, everyone is scrambling to work, with happy smiles on their faces, and the sound of chants in their mouths is even more enthusiastic. The rammed earth is rammed, and the stones are moved.

Not far from the canal, cooking smoke rose faintly.Fan Zhi walked over and saw that there was a large pot of millet rice, sheets of coarse grain cakes spread out, a huge amount of pickles, and fresh fish fished out of the river were cooking fish soup.

"This Sheren is hungry, would you like some pickle cakes and some fish soup?"

A clerk who looked like he was in charge of the cook shouted at Fan Zhi.

Fan Zhi quickly cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, can I eat without working?"

The little official smiled, "I think it must have come from the imperial court, right? What is a coarse grain cake and a little pickle in our place?"

As he spoke, he gave Fan Zhi a big cake, some small pickles, and a bowl of fish soup.

Fan Zhi took a bite of the pickles, the taste was slightly sour and strange, but the salt taste was enough
The thick noodle cake is a bit hard, but it is solid enough. Even a strong man can eat six to seven full after one piece.

The fish soup is also a little bit fishy, ​​but it looks like it is put in sheep oil, and the taste is still relatively fresh, so it can be regarded as half a meat meal.

He nodded, thinking that if the supervisors and officials could eat such meals, it shouldn't be a big problem for the working adults to eat enough.

So he pointed to the crowd happily working in the distance, and said to the little official: "A certain person came from the Eastern Capital, even in the Central Plains, I have never seen people so happy while serving corvee.

Dare to ask the officer, why are these Yanmo tribesmen so tame?It is completely different from what Lanzhou has seen. "

tame?The little official looked at Fan Zhi in surprise, took two steps back, and looked at the bustling crowd in the distance, lowering his voice as if he was afraid that they might hear it.

"Sheren, don't mention the word Gamo again, the military envoy has issued a strict order, who will dare to call these descendants of Longyou Hexi soldiers Gamo in the future.

Then you will have to suffer thirty military sticks, and those who can kill people, let alone. "

The little official sighed a little bit, he was born in Liangzhou Han, so he naturally knew whether Liangzhou was tame or not.

"These six people have never been tamed. What are those guys in Lanzhou? They are poor, they don't have much food, and they don't even have many iron arrowheads. They look powerful, but they are not good.

But our six tribes in Liangzhou are not like this. Many of them are descendants of the former Longyou soldiers. Not only are they tough and good at fighting, but they can also make their own swords.

They are working so hard now because this land is not built for others, but for themselves.

After the canals are repaired and the fields are reclaimed, all you need to do is to join the army and fight with the envoys, and the young and old in the family can farm the land and live a good life of their own.

Moreover, the military envoys did not ask them to contribute for nothing. Although there was no service fee, you can see that the millet rice, flatbread, pickles, and fish soup were all provided by the military envoys.

It turned out that these meals were for young adults, Fan Zhi understood a little.

This military envoy is really an ambitious person!While working hard to eliminate the imprint of grain, at the same time build water conservancy and reclaim farmland.

He also pays out of his own pocket to buy people's hearts, and the plan is huge!
Just looking at the Wucheng Shouzhuo with a radius of more than ten miles, it is orderly, the soldiers are at ease, and the warriors are not domineering. It can indeed be called a paradise.

He decided that if the escort soldiers from Liangzhou still didn't come tomorrow, he would drag Jia Yanchang to Liangzhou directly.

He wants to take a good look along the way, is this Liangzhou as he sees it now?
If it is true, Fan Zhi is almost certain that a king who can end the troubled times is gradually emerging.

　On a business trip today, the tiger was sprayed to pieces, almost like Liu He, the king of Changyi, with a lot of crimes.Let’s look at the more than [-] words today, and the estimated number of words will be about the same tomorrow. I really don’t have time to code the words, so I will make up for the more than [-] words.
