Due to the use of vehicles and boats in the Bianhe River, a large number of slender men were dismissed, and Du Zhongxiao was stationed in Tangzhou to take them to the prefectures and counties with many idle fields on Jingxi Road to open up wasteland. Entering the first month of the leap month, after His Majesty's resignation, he took more than 20,000 slender men in the capital to set off first.

In this promotion, Du Zhongxiao was promoted from a member of the Wailang to Langzhong, and the right Cao was transferred to the left Cao, in addition to the official rank over-transfer, there is also the meaning of nobility. Normally, it should be moved from the right Cao and ascended in turn along the Tuntian Langzhong. In terms of official position, Du Zhongxiao is enough to serve as a transfer judge, but his seniority is insufficient, so he has to bring a word of power. The transfer judge is slightly lower than the prison and the transfer deputy, and is equal to the large state. According to the order of transfer, the two governors of the county were promoted to the general judgment, the two governors were promoted to the state, the two governors were promoted to the state, and the judgment was the same as the county, and Du Zhongxiao lacked the order of the general judgment and the governor.

The transshipment envoy belt system has been in the field since the time of Taizong, especially Jingxi Road, because there are many idle fields, so that the deputy is even. However, Du Zhongxiao, the transfer judge, is superfluous, and he is different from them in special measures to set up camps.

Quan Erlang looked at Du Zhongxiao who was standing in front, and there was some panic in his eyes. He recognized that this was the official who was sitting next to him a few days ago when he was drinking in a tavern with his two brothers. On that day, he said a lot of forbidden words, and when he was investigated, he was guilty of a lot of crimes. Although in this era, people will not be killed because of their words, but on this ground, they can't say anything about their mismatch.

Du Zhongxiao also recognized this young man dressed in embroidery, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have thought of a chance to go to Yingtian on Jingxi Road and get rid of the dilemma of exchanging literature for martial arts. Seeing his panicked expression, Du Zhongxiao smiled. I am now a member of the party, of course, I will not get along with such a person.

When I went to Tangzhou, the third division paid some money and grain as travel expenses. After arriving at the place, the transfer envoy took out the money and grain as the capital. However, along the way, they must be received by the states and counties along the way, and it is inevitable to harass the locality. I share my worries for the court, but I hate it very much for the magistrates. It is necessary to travel in the morning and arrive in Tangzhou before the spring persuasion of farmers, otherwise it will be like a rat crossing the street, but it is not good.

Starting from the capital, I first took a boat to Caizhou, and then from Caizhou to Tangzhou, passing by my hometown. Pick up his family there, and go to Tangzhou with him to take up his post, saving them from running on the road to the capital. Fortunately, after returning to Beijing, her ministry has not been decided, and Han Yueniang did not come.

Kaifeng Prefecture sent a team of soldiers and horses, escorted along the way, along the Cai River, all the way without words, and arrived in Xuzhou in a few days.

Du Xun and Luo Jing had already returned from Shudi, and they waited at the dock with Han Lian early, and when they saw Du Zhongxiao's official ship arriving, they hurriedly greeted them.

Du Zhongxiao instructed his subordinates to arrange for someone to lead the team first, and the official ship waited for him here for a day, and took Thirteen Lang out of the ship.

Seeing Du Xun and Han Lian, Du Zhongxiao hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Du Xundao: "You said a few days ago that you were going to Tangzhou to take up a post, and from here, we are waiting here every day, which can be regarded as waiting!" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "The child is not filial, and he is tired of waiting for his father and father-in-law for a long time. ”

Du Xun smiled: "My own family, what to say." We put Zhuangzi in the countryside, you haven't seen it, this time live at home more to the sky. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "The court is in my body, I can't delay, I can only stay here for one day." We must set off tomorrow, otherwise the team will arrive in Caizhou, and I will not be there, but I am afraid that it will make people gossip. ”

Han Lian said: "Now Da Lang is an official of the imperial court, and the burden is on his body, where can he bear himself?" In-laws, let's not stand here for a long time, take Da Lang home, and set up a banquet to catch the wind. Many supervisors and guests in the family have not seen Da Lang yet. ”

After speaking, the conductor of the Zhuang guests who came with him, moved Du Zhongxiao's salute, and went to Zhuangzi not far away.

Du Jiajian's Zhuangzi is not far from the Cai River, and in less than an hour, he arrived in front of the village.

Before he got off the horse, he saw a middle-aged man with a little boy standing in front of the village, and when he saw Du Zhongxiao and his party coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Student Li Xian, I have seen the judgment of fortune." ”

Du Xun hurriedly got down, grabbed Li Xian's hand and said, "Brother, we are friends in the world, if you do this, won't you break the dog!" He is an official who supports his family and eats, and he is also your nephew. Aren't you ashamed of me if you call yourself a student! ”

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly dismounted, and after asking, he found out that Li Xian was the cousin of fellow villager Li Dui. I have been studying since I was a child, and I have not yet entered the Jinshi. It was the custom at this time for scholars who did not enter the Jinshi to call themselves students to officials, regardless of age or generation.

The Li family is a big family in Hongxiang, and the Du family is a rising star because Du Zhongxiao won the Jinshi. The two families were originally world friends, and the relationship has become more intimate in recent years, and vaguely, most of Linying's affairs are decided by these two families. Those who come here to be officials have to sell the face of these two families.

Hearing that Du Zhongxiao returned to his hometown today, Li Xian specially brought his son Li Tingyu over to visit and let Du Zhongxiao get to know him. This is what the local big clans often do to contact their families, and with this side of the relationship, there will be a lot of convenience in the future. Just like when Du Zhongxiao was admitted to the Jinshi examination, Li Dui saw that there were several talents that could be created, so he took them to the capital, which was regarded as a good fate.

Everyone entered the Zhuangzi and sat down in the flower hall, Du Zhongxiao said to Li Xian: "Uncle, I don't know if Da Lang has ever studied?" ”

Li Xiandao: "In addition to studying, I also taught him to recognize some words, but he was only enlightened, and he has not officially read yet." ”

Du Zhongxiao looked at Li Tingyu, and ordered Shisanlang to take out an inkstone and give it to Li Xian: "I am an official on Hedong Road, and a friend gave this square Chengni inkstone, saying that it is made of mud from the Yellow River, which is very easy to use." Give it to Ling Lang, let him study hard and inherit the family style. ”

Li Xian happily accepted it. Chengni inkstone is also a famous inkstone, although it is not as expensive as the top inkstone, it is also one of the few in the north. It's not about how much this thing is worth, this represents a friendship, and the world friendship between the Li and Du families continues.

Du Zhongxiao had no concept of the village sage before, but now that his family has become a village sage, he slowly understands the meaning. In a county, two jinshi, both of whom have good careers, naturally become highly respected people. As your family becomes richer and you have more and more resources, whether you want to or not, you will have more and more power to speak in the local area. Whatever happens in this county, whether it is repairing bridges and paving roads, disaster relief, or local incidents, people will find their homes. Slowly, it will naturally grasp the power at the local level. As for what to do after obtaining this power, it is up to the individual. In the past, Wu Kejiu didn't know how to be a man, and Du Zhongxiao could only leave gloomily after being a jinshi.

Li Zhenzhi was in the Tongzhi Yuan, and his official position was not as high as Du Zhongxiao's, but his ministry was more expensive than Du Zhongxiao's. Moreover, it is easy for Taiwan to be promoted, the status of the two families is now equal, and they have the friendship of bringing Du Zhongxiao to Beijing a few years ago, and the relationship between Li and Du is harmonious. In this case, the magistrate did not dare to offend easily.

When she didn't sit for a while, Han Yueniang asked her son to come out and meet Du Zhongxiao.

The first time he saw his son, when the little guy was hiding in Du Xun, he poked out his little head from time to time, glanced at Du Zhongxiao, and quickly shrank back. Du Zhongxiao saw that his son was a little afraid of himself, so he took out a packet of caramel candy, put it in front of him and said, "You come over and call Daddy, I'll give you candy to eat." ”

The little guy hid behind Du Xun and said, "I ate a lot of sugar a few days ago, and my mother is not allowed to eat it!" ”

Du Zhongxiao laughed dumbly when he heard this. He forgot that now his family is not the time when food and clothing were scarce, the little guy has lived a life of abundance since birth, where will there be a shortage of sugar.
