Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Although the man was dressed plainly and looked like an ordinary farmer, his every move was polite, not like a farmer, but like a scholar studying.

Behind him, there are two handsome young boys sitting at the same table with him, it is unknown whether they are the children of this man or relatives of his nephew.

I have to say that the age of more than 30 years old is no longer young in this era.

According to the practice of the Eastern Han Dynasty, male scholars over the age of 30 can already be honored as public.And if it is a woman, it is very likely that she has already embraced her grandson at this age.

We must know that the average life expectancy of the population in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was only 22 years old, and at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty it was as low as 20 years old.

An ordinary farmer can live to almost 40 years old without disease and disaster, which is already worthy of Farectification's respect.

Obviously, the store owner was also familiar with the old man.After smiling and nodding to the other party, the shopkeeper explained:

"Hehe, it's Mr. Pang...you came to my place again today."

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, and it's not like someone forcibly demolished and occupied people's homes. On this point, no one in Lujiang or Wancheng would dare to do this. Otherwise, if people from the Supervision Department hear about it, they won't let it go. This kind of performance delivered to the door.”

After all, the storekeeper turned around to look at Fazheng, and nodded slightly to him, obviously just heard what Fazheng and Mengda complained just now.

This made Fazheng's face turn red with embarrassment.

But fortunately, this store is not a grumpy person.

Or to put it another way, those who can rely on the "tertiary industry" for food in this era will not have a bad temper.

He just thought that Fazheng had just arrived in Lujiang, and he didn't know much about some things in Lujiang.So the attitude is better.

……

"Mr. Pang, you have lived in Lujiang for a while, so you must know the style of officials in Lujiang..."

Slightly winking his eyes at the old man, although the shop owner said this to the other party, but the inside and outside of the words did not seem to be the case.

And the old man is obviously a human being, and he can understand what he means just by looking at the actions of the shopkeeper.

"Well, indeed."

"I think it's been almost half a year since I lived here from Jingbei last year. During this period, apart from taking the children to visit friends in Yingchuan, I have lived in Lujiang almost all the time. The official atmosphere in Lujiang is indeed different from other places. It is different and worthy of the trust of our common people.”

After all, the old man glanced at Fazheng from the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Fazheng also had a hint of joy on his face.

And the shopkeeper struck while the iron was hot, and explained to everyone, especially to Fazheng who was at the side:

"I also asked about the situation there just now. The gathering of the people is not because of any turmoil, but it is a good thing. Don't think too much, everyone is celebrating."

"As for what to celebrate..."

"Everyone has lived in Wancheng for a while, and the son of the Qiao family just said that now our Lujiang prefect is renovating roads and constructing water conservancy on a large scale, which will inevitably occupy some people's houses."

"As the neighbors over there said just now, it is probably the Civil Affairs Bureau who determined that the entire street will be occupied, and those people will not only be allocated a new house for this, but will even get a lot of money for it. The demolition compensation is a great thing for us ordinary people.”

"As for those who are crying, most of them are women who are crying with joy, so you don't need to pay attention."

……

After a while, Fazheng left the stall with his good friend Meng Da.

If there is no accident, they will go to visit Ma Jun, a scholar from their hometown, and a good friend who works under the Lujiang prefect's mansion.

On the one hand, Ma Jun, Fazheng, and Meng Da are from the same hometown, and they are all in the scholar class.Although Ma Jun's background is slightly lower than the two of them, but in that remote place of Fufeng, he is actually one of the few friends who can talk.

During the Chinese New Year this year, when Ma Jun returned home from Lujiang, he specially visited the two of them at their homes. Now that they are here, they naturally have to pay their respects.

On the other hand, in Fazheng's heart now, there is also a thought of becoming an official, and he wants to see if he, a fellow villager, can help him talk and introduce him.

If Fazheng remembers correctly, Ma Jun seems to be doing pretty well now, he is also a moderate official, and he has his own mansion and official seal in Wancheng...

According to this, the other party must at least be a county magistrate with a salary of four or five hundred shi, right?After all, no matter how small a county lieutenant or magistrate is, he is not qualified to open a government office.

Chapter 57 Fa Xiaozhi and Mencius

After hearing what the shopkeeper said just now, Fazheng gradually changed his original thoughts, and he also had a slight liking for the existence of Zhang Yan, the prefect of Lujiang.

In any case, perhaps the ruling officials may be controlled or deceived by the ruler, but the attitude of the people will not be fake.

Whether a local ruler is doing well or not can often be seen only by looking at the hearts of the people under his rule.

Before coming to Lujiang, Fazheng was still a little afraid of Zhang Yan's existence.To be honest, it was hard for him to accept what Ma Jun said to him before.

The adopted son of a treacherous minister and thief known for exploiting and oppressing is actually a good official who loves the people like his own son?

Maybe he is really capable, but to say that he loves the people like a son... It sounds as ridiculous as a fraud.

But judging from what he saw and heard during the short day when he entered Wancheng yesterday, maybe what Ma Jun said was true.

Maybe Zhang Yan is really the kind of good official who makes people sing praises.

Fazheng attaches great importance to this point.

……

"Zijing, what do you say?"

"Come with me to meet Deheng later. I just heard what those people said, and I really want to try the water in this Lujiang River."

……

It's not the same as pure family children, who is Fazheng?After he was the top celebrity in the entire Eastern Han Dynasty, the strictness of his family and tutoring was far beyond the comparison of those who were mercenary.

Legalism can be traced back to King Tian Fazhang of Qixiang. His father Situ Fayan, grandfather Fazhen, and great-grandfather Faxiong were all the top courtiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they all followed the Ming Lord of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It can be said that The relationship between master and servant is exceptionally valued in Legalist family studies.

Even Fazheng is the kind of education that he has received since he was a child to find the master of the world and act accordingly.

What is Mingzhu?Capable, virtuous, and able to employ people, that's all.

Before going to Lujiang, or before last year, Fazheng always felt that among the lords in the world, Liu Yan, the Yizhou Mu Liu Yan who sits in Yizhou, was a very good choice.

Liu Yan himself was born in the clan of the Han Dynasty, and once served as Taichang, and was one of the Jiuqing, so it is needless to say his ability.

In addition, last year, Liu Hong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, proposed that "abolish history and establish animal husbandry, and one side can be stable." By sending Han family clansmen to guard the border areas that the central government cannot touch, it made the Han imperial power that was on the verge of collapse even worse. It seems to have recovered a little bit.

It was precisely this that made the opponent's position in Fazheng's heart rise to the peak.

Don't you see, among the thirteen prefectures in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liang, Bing, and Youbei are infested by nomads every year. Although the three prefectures of Jing, Jiao, and Yang are vast in size, they are not strong enough, and even the ethnic minorities in the territory cannot Effective control.

As for the six states of Qing, Xu, Ji, Yan, Yu, and Si in the Central Plains, they have been caught in the Yellow Turban war every year, which almost shows that the ruler is incompetent and the people are oppressed.

Against the backdrop of many colleagues, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and Yizhou, known as the land of abundance, fully highlights its own excellence.

How could such an official who was loved by his own people not be good at virtue?

All in all, if it weren't for something happening in his family, if his grandfather Fazhen died of illness, Fazheng would have already set his mind to go to Yizhou to serve Liu Yan last year.

It's just that this matter was delayed because I had to keep my filial piety for at least a year as a grandchild.

It wasn't until the end of last year when Ma Jun returned home to visit his family during the Chinese New Year, that Fazheng learned about the existence of Lujiang from the other party's mouth.

……

"Lujiang?"

"What kind of barbarian place..."

……

To be honest, after learning about the current situation in Lujiang from Ma Jun for the first time, Fazheng's first reaction was disbelief.

Where is Lujiang?

People live and work in peace and contentment?Does he have that ability?

No!

The entire history of Lujiang over the past ten years is the history of the struggle between the local ethnic minorities and the Han imperial power.Especially in the past few years, when the power of the big man has been further weakened, many rebels have used the name of Shaomin to do evil in Jiangdong.

Fazheng knows all these things very clearly.

And if you say that in just over a year, this remote city has developed into a thriving look, and even established a large library for scholars from all over the world to study and study...

Fazheng can only say that if Zhang Yan really has such a great ability to wipe out the entire Lujiang River, then this person can even be called his "dream lover".

This person Zhang Yan...he is ignorant and ignorant, and has never heard of it.

But if you are Zhang Yan's adoptive father Zhang Rang, then he is very familiar with you.

His grandfather, Fazhen, was known for his nobleness when he was alive. If the teaching was really pure, then there is no doubt that Zhang Rang is the most extreme opposite of all Qing school people. How could he not have heard of Fazheng?

If what Ma Jun said is true, then Zhang Yan was born in the hands of a top corrupt criminal like Zhang Rang, but he is sympathetic to the people's feelings, and spent a lot of money to build a large library in order to inspire people's wisdom and inheritance, and then brought his own dry food to Lujiang to suppress bandit……

Such a person is not only as simple as getting out of the mud but not stained, he can even be called a saint in today's Han court.

But do such people really exist?Fazheng inevitably had a question mark in his heart.

Having said that, Fazheng inevitably had an expectation for Zhang Yan's existence in his heart.If not, he would not have given up on his trip to Yizhou, and brought his friends all the way to Lujiang, a place beyond the realm of civilization.

And yesterday, he had already seen the existence of the big library, which indeed looked magnificent from the outside, and the inside would not be too bad.

This morning's experience made his heart surge even more unbearably.

Turning around and looking at his partner Meng Da beside him, Fazheng trembled slightly, and at the same time clenched his fists tightly.

With Ma Jun already exploring the way ahead, this Lujiang might really be a very suitable place for him.

……

"Hmm... are you sure?"

Beside him, Meng Da paused slightly, lowered his head and thought for a moment before turning to look at him.

"I think it's better for you not to make a decision so quickly. People like this have to get along for a while before they know each other's nature."

"Furthermore, even if Prefect Zhang Yan is very suitable for you, he still has all kinds of subordinates under him. Foreign scholars like you may not be able to be reused, nor may they be able to get along with those local people. joy."

Slowly speaking out his thoughts, although Meng Da's tone was a little conflicted and a little uncertain, but he looked at Fazheng with incomparably firm eyes.

"However, if Xiaozhi, you must become an official here, I can also accompany you."

"Hey, Mr. Pang, why are you here today?"
