Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

On an official road from Liaozhou to Suizhou, there is a group of people dressed as scholars heading towards Suizhou. It seems that there are about 30 to [-] people.

In addition to the attire of scholars, some seem to have attendants.

Shen Chenlan and a few government soldiers crouched on the side of Guanlu Mountain, quietly observing the group of people.

The catcher took the lead and said: "My lord, who are these people? They look like scholars, but why do scholars come to our Suizhou for no reason?"

When Shen Chenlan saw the outfits of this group of people just now, she already guessed something in her heart.

Now these people took a few steps closer, further confirming the speculation in their hearts.

Years ago, he wrote a letter to his master and asked him to help him find some teachers.

Unexpectedly, Mr. really found it.

Seeing this posture, there are quite a few people.

Shen Chenlan was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent someone down, saying: "Quick, these are the gentlemen who came to teach in Suizhou, go down and greet them well."

So, when the group of scholars were asking for directions and groping forward, they saw many people standing on both sides of the road ahead.

Shen Chenlan chose to wait at the place where the concrete road just opened, which was regarded as a welcoming ceremony.

Otherwise, if they stepped forward rashly, they would probably scare these gentlemen away.

Shen Chenlan came out in a hurry, so she had no choice but to put on an official uniform.

Seeing people approaching him, he took the initiative to say: "You must be gentlemen who come to Suizhou to teach, and Shen came here to greet you."

These gentlemen traveled across mountains and rivers, and they were already on their way when it was still cold.

Hearing this now is like hearing the sounds of nature.

"It's finally here." Someone couldn't help but said.

The leader, who looked a little older, heard the words and said: "We are entrusted by Mr. Yan, and we came here specially. My surname is Qin. I don't know who you are?"

Just as Shen Chenlan was about to answer, the head catcher at the side said first: "This is Mr. Shen, the magistrate of Suizhou!"

What a great authority.

Mr. Qin said in his heart.

But right away, Master Shen cast a sidelong glance at the person beside him, and said, "Stand back, when will it be your turn to talk to Mister like this?"

Shen Chenlan usually has a gentle personality and is informal, which made these people get used to it.

But precisely because of this, as soon as he became serious, the head catcher was so frightened that he immediately fell silent.

Mr. Shen usually doesn't get angry, unless it is unusual.

The head catcher hurriedly backed away.

Shen Chenlan turned to Mr. Qin and said: "Gentlemen have come all the way to Suizhou. You have worked hard. When you enter the city later, I will ask you gentlemen to rest first. After that, we will talk about the rest after the gentlemen have rested." .”

Mr. Qin naturally has no objection.

It's just that when I got back into the carriage, I saw the white concrete road in front of me, and I was still a little surprised: "Your road...is it paved with stones?"

The end of this road is far away. If it is really paved with stones, how many mountains would have to be dug to pave such a long road.

And this is still outside the city, and the city gate has not been seen yet.

If such a long road is paved with stones, how much manpower and material resources will be spent.

In ancient times, there was Efang Palace that wasted money and labored people. Could it be the same in Suizhou?
Shen Chenlan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Oh, this is a cement road, which is made of specific solidified stone powder mixed with sand, and the carriage is very stable when walking on it."

Although Mr. Qin was full of doubts, he swallowed it down and didn't ask any more questions.

If it wasn't for Mr. Yan's face, seeing this situation, he might have to go back the same way.
