Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 48: Foresight and Foresight
"It's beautiful here!"

Xiao Miaochen looked at Ye Gui in the distance with admiration in her eyes, and the boredom she had been holding back these days was swept away.

"Qingxi County is really a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers!"

Chen Qingsi also expressed emotion.

These days, he visited every inch of land around the county in a recreational way.

It was found that Qingxi County has high mountains, deep valleys, intertwined rivers, and rich products.There are fertile fields, abundant mountain products, and sufficient water resources.

As long as he can integrate these resources, Qingxi County will soon be able to regain its vitality within a few years.

Based on the field inspections in the past few days, Chen Qingsi already had a management plan. He glanced at the Du family's yamen nearby and decided that it was time to defeat them one by one.

Du Zi said from behind as if he was offering a treasure: "County Magistrate Chen, Mrs. Chen, I'm not lying to you, this is the best place to visit. Although Ye Gui was born on the opposite Osmanthus Island, but here It’s the best place to appreciate laurels.”

Chen Qingsi was leading a group of them around Qingxi County these days, and Du Zi and his group were bored.But with Du Chunbin here, as a subordinate, he had no room to speak and could only follow obediently.

Du Chunbin left today on official business grounds. Du Zi, who thought he had the right to speak, was unwilling to blow the cold wind in the fields, so he tentatively gave his own suggestion to come and see the osmanthus flowers by Wanggui Creek.

Chen Qingsi had no expectations at first, but when she came to the stream, she was shocked by the miraculous craftsmanship of nature.

"The place recommended by Du Zaoli is indeed wonderful, but this is the first time I have seen this sweet-scented osmanthus growing on the cliff."

Ordinary sweet-scented osmanthus trees grow on the ground, but the sweet-scented osmanthus they saw grew one by one on the cliffs.

The tenacious and unyielding wild osmanthus trees are inserted slantingly into the cliff. A breeze blows by, and the fragrance of the osmanthus fills your nose even more intensely.The yellow flower buds moved with the wind and fell on the lake. The water rippled and countless circles spread around, creating a wonderful scene.

"This……"

Chen Qingsi was dumbfounded when he saw it. It was understandable that the branches and leaves falling into the water would cause ripples.

But how could the sweet-scented osmanthus, a flower the size of a grain of rice, cause such a scene if it fell into the water?

Xiao Miaochen was also stunned. She covered her face with a power fence and couldn't see her appearance clearly, but a trace of surprise could still be seen in her looming eyes.

"It's a fish!" Chen Qingsi is good at archery and has excellent eyesight. He vaguely saw the "real murderer".

Du Zi said quite proudly: "Mrs. Chen, County Magistrate, you have come at the wrong time. Come a month early, when the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom, that's when the real fragrance spreads all over the place."

He looked at the active fish in the water and felt itchy. He said: "This is the Qingxi fish, a specialty of our hometown. Because it likes to eat wild osmanthus on the cliffs, its meat is fragrant with osmanthus. The little one will catch one and give it to the two." A bit of tasting.”

Du Zi has been fishing all year round, and old habits die hard. He has been working as a slave for several months, but he went straight to the river to catch fish before he ever went into the water.

One side of water and soil supports one side of people.

Although Du Zi had no tools, he still relied on his excellent water skills and understanding of prey to successfully catch two big fish weighing three kilograms.

Chen Qingsi praised Du Zi for his good water-based skills and asked casually: "Has Du Zaoli's water-based skills been developed for ten years?"

Du Zi said casually: "That's not all. I have been fishing in the water since I was four years old. It has been more than 30 years. In our Dujia Village, the water quality..." His mind started to think more, and when he realized it, his voice was a little low, but when he saw Chen Qingsi His eyes were always on the fish in his hand, and he didn't care about his answer at all. He breathed a sigh of relief and changed the subject: "Eat the mountains and eat the water. Most people here know the nature of water."

After confirming his identity, Chen Qingsi knew that the time had come to fight back.

In order not to make the other party suspicious, he continued: "It is indeed beautiful here. I wonder where else is worth visiting nearby?"

Du Zi shook his head and said: "Other places have to cross the river and land on the island. The environment on the island is complicated, so it is better not to go there. There is another place to go, but an army is stationed there and we are not allowed to get close."

Chen Qingsi asked unexpectedly: "Army? Are there any troops in the county that have not been evacuated?" Du Zi said: "It's near Fuchuan Mountain. The other party's military discipline is very good. It's different from the general army. It never disturbs the people and trains near Fuchuan Mountain. If not They are not allowed to come near, I really don’t know there is an army inside the territory.”

Chen Qingsi understood clearly in his heart that Fuchuan Mountain was the place where Chen Shuozhen revolted. This army was to prevent the traitors from returning.

but……

Chen Qingsi became very interested and asked: "It's really strange. Do you know who the other party is leading the army and is so capable?"

Du Zi thought for a while and said: "I heard from the chief clerk, what is his name? The name is very strange, yes, Xi Junmai, a Zhechong Commander named Xi Junmai."

The pupils in Chen Qingsi's eyes shrank, but she laughed: "What a weird name."

Xi Jun buys it?
How would it appear here?

Searching the memories in my mind, the only thing I know about Xi Junmai is that 120 people put down the civil strife in Tuyuhun with unparalleled bravery.

But just like a flash in the pan, Xi Junmai disappeared in the long river of history.

Later generations analyzed that Xi Junmai may have died of illness after he performed meritorious services. Some people also analyzed that he was suppressed and ostracized, so that he remained unknown for the rest of his life and was lost in the long river of history.

The specific reason is unknown...

Now it seems that he must have been squeezed out.

Otherwise, he would not have become famous in the northwest, but he appeared in Jiangnan.

It was a pleasant surprise.

That night, Chen Qingsi re-formulated his plan.

Seeing that her husband was a little excited, Xiao Miaochen also became happy and asked, "Is it time to take the next step?"

"It was time to close the net, but today we changed our plans and we have to find someone to help!"

"Who?"

Xiao Miaochen looked curious.

Chen Qingsi smiled and said: "Xi Jun buys it!"

Xiao Miaochen was surprised: "Is this the person Du Zi mentioned today?"

Chen Qingsi said: "Yes, that's him."

Xiao Miaochen was puzzled: "If you can solve the problem yourself, why should you owe me an extra favor?"

Chen Qingsi said with a deep look: "Madam, I don't understand. Owing favors is not a bad thing. Some favors are worth owing. For example, this Xi Junmai... As long as the bottom line is not touched, the husband is never afraid of owing favors, but worries about having no favors to owe. Today my husband deliberately owes Xi Jun a favor, and tomorrow I can invite him to drink with me. Once we are familiar with each other, we will have time to support each other."

If this Xi Junmai is the one in history, it would be a pity for such heroes to be lost in history, so it is better to join their own thief ship.

At the foot of the shipwrecked mountain, Xi Junmai, who was already asleep, sneezed inexplicably.
