Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 350: icing on the cake

One early morning in late October, the grass and trees on the outskirts of Yuncheng withered, and the yellow leaves were covered with a layer of frost. (Baidu search to force literature network to update the fastest and most stable)

Although the weather was a bit cold, it did not stop the enthusiasm of the Yuncheng people. The Chinese team started from both sides of the city gate and continued to flow out half a mile away. They were densely packed along the Tianmu Road. Ge spear, vigilantly maintaining order.

The reason why it is so lively is because today, the newly appointed doctor Yuncheng is about to return.

"Meng Tan, when did you learn to do this." Above the chariot, Zhao Wuxi said as he returned the salute to the people who bowed to him on both sides.

Zhang Meng, who is now in the same car with Zhao Wuxi, said with a smile:

"Si Kou doesn't have to look at me like this, the ministers are completely unorganized, and these people all came spontaneously. Si Kou fought **** battles with all the soldiers and arrested his uncle Sun Zhi, who had been squeezing Yuncheng all the year round, and imprisoned him in prison; The robbers who harmed the villagers have brought peace and tranquility to this town. I heard that Si Kou came back after a **** battle and won a big victory.

After several months of collusion, the situation finally settled, Zhao Wuxi's forces gained a huge harvest, so Zhang Mengtan was also in a good mood.

"I see."

Indeed, compared to the insatiable uncle Sun Zhi, who is rich and ruthless, Zhang Mengtan's governance in the name of Zhao Wuxi can be regarded as extremely lenient. In the end, Wu Xie has to thank Uncle Sun Zhi. If it weren't for his low limit of death, the people of Yuncheng wouldn't have the illusion that they would suddenly go from prison to a well-off world after they changed their lord.

"Meng Tan also has to be humble, and you can't miss the credit for governing this town."

Zhang Mengtan said humbly: "I don't have any credit, the tiger Sima repelled the robbers and maintained order; the slaughter of the towns lived within their means, and the allocation of food relief; Gongxi Zihua presided over the sacrifice of the dead everywhere, soothing the people's emotions, they are the real merits. minister."

This reception made Zhao Wuxi feel that the hard work for more than half a month was worth it. Compared with establishing power by force in Zhencheng, and establishing faith by burning coupons in Linqiu City, the support he now has in Yuncheng is more solid and stable. This is the real heart of the people!

He was even thinking. Whether to move the center of governance from Linqiu to this place, Yuncheng has a wider area, which is beneficial for fishing and hunting, and there are some exposed stone resources underground, that is, coal. Second, there are 5,000 households in Yuncheng. The number of mouths is 30,000, which is almost the total of Zhen and Linqiu.

It is also more convenient to travel eastward to Qufu. If the waterway of Dayozawa can be opened up, the water network can also be used to transport the materials transported from Taoyi. Of course, the premise is to eliminate the threat of robbery.

From time to time, the village elders came to offer wine on the road. Zhao Wuxi had to answer one by one to the head of the clan in this place, and the team stopped and went.

Zhao Wuxi was not arrogant because of his status, nor was he impatient because of the long-winded words of the village elders. It made the local people feel relieved and felt that they should be able to live a stable life in the future.

After walking slowly for half a moment under the welcome of the people, they saw the city tower of Yuncheng in the distance. When the robbers came to attack, they broke the water gate and damaged part of the front wall. Zhang Mengtan organized the local unemployed Qingxia to repair the city tower and city wall, so as not to disturb the order. So now it looks brand new, with new paint on the tower, and the sun shines brightly. A good atmosphere of peace after the war.

The closer to the city, the more enthusiastic the people became, they cheered, and the children were held in the arms of adults. Or sit on the shoulders of adults and look curiously at the armor, mounts, and weapons of the soldiers. Especially the light knights riding on big horses are the most popular. Yu Xi and the others straightened their chests with their horses on their stomachs because of their pride. The more the people cheered, the more they turned their eyes away. People and girls were swept away.

Zhao Wuxi had no such thoughts. What he was curious about was who the "guest from Song" in Zhang Mengtan's message was.

When he asked this question, Zhang Mengtan looked at him meaningfully and said, "It's a woman dressed in a scholar's clothes. She claims to be the messenger of Si Kou's deceased. She came from Song State, and she can't explain her purpose unless she sees Si Kou himself..."

...

After entering the Yi Temple, I saw the visitor. It was indeed a handsome woman wrapped in black clothes and masked.

After she put down the veil, Zhao Wuxi felt that it was similar to the past. It was the thrilling **** with Nanzi in the Huangtang of Song country in the past, and Nanzi sent the palace maid of Song country to lead him a section of the road.

The matter between Zhao Wuxi and Nanzi is a secret contract, and very few people know about it. When Zhao Wuxi and Zhang Mengtan colluded, other things can be said, but Nanzi was not exposed. No matter when or what age, conspiring to form an alliance with a woman in the palace is a matter of criticism.

Zhang Mengtan also knows that this is probably a sensitive little secret of the lord, and he will never ask any questions. In the past few days, he just let people take good care of the female envoy. This will lead to the unshirted entry, and everyone else will retreat, leaving only Mucha. Body protection.

Thinking of Nanzi, that seductive daughter-in-law with an elusive mind, who is simply the incarnation of Daji, Zhao Wuxi had a headache.

At the beginning, Zhao Wuxi was lured into the Huangtang of the Song Dynasty's palace by Nanzi's trick, and he could not escape. If there is success, it will help her.

This is only a temporary escape, but the jade ring that Ji Ying gave him is still in Nanzi's hands. In addition, Zhao Wuxi did not want to lose his trust in a woman, and hoped to have a helping hand in Song Dynasty, so he did not perfunctory this matter.

However, Nanzi and Weihou still have a year and a half to get married. Now that his territory has been decided, and Xiao Sikou's position has not yet taken hold, Nanzi, who has never had any dealings with him in the past few months, rushes to ask for help. Is it?

Before his heels were stable, Zhao Wuxi didn't want to make himself the focus of the princes for the time being, so he regarded Nanzi as the source of trouble, and his tone was not very kind.

"Why did the daughter of Song Guo send you here?"

The palace maid lowered her head and said, "At the order of the daughter-in-law, come to congratulate Si Kou and present a gift for the new year..."

Send a Gift? This was something Zhao Wuxi never thought of.

"It's already winter, and the concubine sent her concubine to present a hundred pieces of fine silk, lacquer ware, and some golden rods from the state of Chu. The concubine brought them all this time. The concubine thought that Si Kou had newly acquired Sanyi. There must be a lot of craftsmen urgently needed, so I also sent more than 100 craftsmen, such as weavers, sericulture girls, wheel workers, and lacquer workers, because they couldn’t bring them here.

Wuxi knows that in ancient China at this time, the princes stood side by side, and even the calendar was not unified. A total of six time periods coexist in the world. They are "Yellow Emperor Calendar", "Zuanxu Calendar", "Xia Calendar", "Yin Calendar", "Zhou Calendar" and "Lu Calendar".

When Zhao Wuxi was in Jin state, he used the Xia calendar; when he arrived in the Song state, he used the Yin calendar; when he came to Cao, he used the Zhou calendar; Use Luli instead.

If obsessive-compulsive patients play like this, they will definitely be driven crazy.

The Lu calendar is only used by the State of Lu. It is slightly different from the Zhou calendar. It is a yin-yang calendar. Before the fifth year of Duke Xi of Lu (656 BC), the month of Jianchou was used as the positive (equivalent to the 12th month of the lunar calendar). Change from the method of Jianzi, that is, the month of the winter solstice is the first month (the month of Jianzi, equivalent to the lunar November).

Now is the end of October, and for the country of Lu, it can be regarded as the end of the year. After this month, it will be the New Year at the beginning of November.

But the people of Song Dynasty are the remnants of Yin and Shang, and they have retained the rituals of Yin, so they use the Yin calendar, with the December (ugly month) as the beginning of the year, which is still early before the new year. So if a businessman is in Lu in November, Song in December, and Jin in January, he can live three consecutive years...

In short, this so-called New Year's Eve. It was Nanzi who prepared it specially for Zhao Wuxi, but he was intentional.

Although he didn't help Zhao Wuxi at the beginning of his business, at least he knew that it would be the icing on the cake when he was still young and won a good impression.

This Nanzi's emotional intelligence is also quite high. Knowing that friendship is to be cultivated slowly, her attitude of knowing how to advance and retreat makes Zhao Wuxi hate it. If it is harmless to oneself, it is understandable to be a gang, but it is enough for this woman to stay away from it, and if it is too deeply contaminated, she may be entangled.

also. There are also two silks full of characters, one of which is a letter from Nanzi, and the other with beautiful handwriting, which Zhao Wuqi naturally recognized as Le Lingzi's handwriting. As well as a basket of medicines that have been divided into frequency and weight, there are winter medicines to keep out the cold, and there are ulcer medicines for the treatment of swords and arrows, all from the girl's heart.

He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. In the past six months, although the two of them also communicated, Zhao Wuxi was either in a **** fight, or was busy running for his own future, and did not talk deeply. This time, the silk looks quite thick, and there must be a lot of words on it.

But he resisted the urge to pick it up and read it immediately, and first glanced at Nanzi's silk book.

Nanzi's written handwriting is actually a bit savage, not sloppy at all, but the language inside is like a cloud, making people unable to see the deep meaning hidden under the seal characters.

It turned out that the traffic at this time was really lagging behind, and it was not until mid-October that the incident of the Yanghu rebellion in the state of Lu and the fact that Zhao Wuxi had become a small Sikou due to his efforts to pacify the chaos were gradually spread to the neighboring states of Lu. Qi, Cao, Song and other places suddenly caused a sensation...

As for the state of Jin, I am afraid that this news has just crossed the Taihang Mountains and has not yet reached Xinjiang!

...

Ten li different days, the west of Lu State is sunny and less cloudy, but Song State, which is hundreds of li away from Yuncheng, is cloudy. Because of the winter rain the day before, before the winter solstice, Shangqiu in Songcheng is already freezing to the bone.

In a simple and warm living room of the Sicheng Le family's mansion, smokeless charcoal was burning in the copper stoker at the mouth of the beast, and two women sat opposite each other on the mat~www.readwn.com~ drinking warm soup to keep out the cold .

Nanzi, the daughter of the Song Dynasty, was dressed in a sable fur, gorgeous and precious. Her black and shiny hair was tied in a high bun, and a black jade was inserted into the bun, and the totem black bird of Yin and Shang was carved on it. . Her eyes are charming and her lips are as red as cherries. She is a little more beautiful than when Zhao Wuxi met him half a year ago. Although she wears a lot, she can't hide her attractive figure because of the proper matching.

She said to the girl opposite her with some anger: "Look at you, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have lost some weight, and your chin is as sharp as the white fox fur on your body. The 'heavy ear' saw it, what should I do..." (To be continued.)
