Chapter 133: A Chance Encounter with a Talent
Guzang East City Gate.
The sun was overhead, but it looked listless, and the people at the city gate obviously felt that today was much colder than yesterday. The northwest wind was still blowing like knives, and even though everyone was wearing leather robes, they still felt cold.
But the sky is basically cloudless, and many people look up and sigh in their hearts, it seems that there is still a long way to go before the first snow. This year, when the weather cooled, there was no snow yet, at least a full month later than in normal years, which is really scary.
This situation is known as the Black Plague by the herdsmen on the grassland, and the heavy snowfall is called the White Plague, which is relatively much more terrible than the White Plague. A white plague is nothing more than heavy snowfall, and after taking the necessary measures, the damage can be reduced to a very low level, and at worst, it is nothing more than freezing some livestock to death.
But the black plague is different, the livestock lack of water, the epidemic disease, the decline of fat, the miscarriage of the mother animals, and almost certainly cause a large number of livestock to die, but the black plague comes, there is no good way. In this era, it is impossible to artificially rain or snowfall, and Hexi is already short of water, and it does not snow, which is generally considered to be God's punishment, what can you do?
Therefore, the officials at all levels who came to the city gate today are a little listless, which is no wonder, on the one hand, the trend of the black disaster has been obvious, it seems that the year is difficult, they will also worry about the people, but more importantly, most of them in Hexi follow the customs, and also have their own pastures and herdsmen, when the black disaster comes, it is their livestock that dies, can they not feel distressed?
Besides, this kind of thing like the Black Disaster will not divide the Hu and Han, those Hu tribes, although they have been divided for more than ten years, did not dare to attack the states and counties of the Great Qin Empire, on the one hand, of course, it is the military prestige of the invincible Iron Army of the Great Qin, and on the other hand, it is also so many years of good weather, they themselves have eaten enough, plus quite rich rewards, so that they can settle down.
Now after the Battle of Weishui, people's hearts are floating all over the world, and the tribes on the grassland also know that His Majesty the King of Heaven is no longer the son of heaven, he has completely failed in a southern expedition, and the loser will not be respected. Moreover, this year, due to the southern expedition, the rewards to the tribes have been reduced, and they have long been dissatisfied. Now coupled with natural disasters, coupled with the fact that Liangzhou is now in a series of disasters, some of the more far-sighted people have predicted that this time, the tribes of Lu Shuihu and Tuyuhun are afraid that they are about to move.
But everyone can only slander, now the western half of Liangzhou has fallen into the hands of Lu Guang, and thanks to Lord Li Tong who held Hongchiling to the death, he temporarily blocked Lu Guang's army, and in the southeast, Zhang Tianxi is also imposing, Gu Zang can be said to be the enemy on his back, who will this Liangzhou be, it is difficult to say now, looking at the shadow of Lord Thorn Shi in front of him with some rickety shadows and white hair, everyone is a little sad.
At this time, those who were still by Liang Xi's side and did not run away or go into hiding, naturally they were more or less loyal to Liang Xi, and Liang Xi was generous all year round, and they all had a fluke mentality, maybe Lord Liang Xi invited Fu Luo this time and was able to turn the tide?
There is no martial law in the city, this is what Liang Xi means, if a mere Fu Luo comes, the whole city will be under martial law to greet him, which will inevitably make people look down, so although he does have a request, Liang Xi also wants to raise his own value. Moreover, last night basically wiped out all the people who might have problems, and Liang Xi didn't want to stir up public resentment again, so he only let the soldiers patrolling the streets maintain order, but did not deliberately drive away pedestrians.
Near the east gate, it was originally considered a prosperous area of Guzang City, at this time, although the flow of people was less, the stalls on the road also consciously left, but the shops on both sides were still somewhat open, and the Chinese were so lively, as long as they didn't say that they were not allowed to see the excitement, there were always people willing to watch, there were not many people on both sides of the road, but there were soldiers who restrained, and they couldn't see what was going on outside the city gate. The land had to be taken care of when it was returned, so that there would be no problems.
In the "Xuanyuan Book House", Duan Ye in a green shirt and Duan Ping, who looked like a servant, were flipping through a pile of thick ancient books, Duan Ye also asked the price from time to time, and the boss was very enthusiastic, answered all questions, and also offered tea, saying that if Duan Ye was interested in books, he could sit down and read while drinking tea, and it didn't matter whether he bought it or not.
And this bookstore, coincidentally, happened to be located at a corner, and the direction of opening the door was also there, so Duan Ye only needed to look back to see the direction of the city gate. Of course, there were two armor soldiers standing there outside, but the boss had obviously done it before, and now the two of them stood there like statues, very silent.
The book house is an elegant place, and it seems that the boss is also very energetic, so at this time, there are a lot of people in the room, and everyone has occasional conversations, but the voices are not loud, and they all seem to be polite.
Suddenly, a somewhat rough voice said: "I disturbed the people all night last night, and this morning I put on such a big formation, it seems that the rumors are true!" ”
Duan Ye Huo Ran looked back, but he was a short and fat man with a short stature, a garlic nose and a big mouth, mung bean eyes and big ears, which looked very funny, but it was really happy to see his stomach swaying when he spoke.
A scholar with a more delicate face next to him hurriedly pulled his sleeve and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about state affairs, it's better to talk less about Guzang City's affairs now." ”
"Afraid of what?" The fat man was obviously a bastard, "Did he make it difficult for Lord Jun to embarrass the people of our academy?" Now invite Tang Gong to come, I am also in favor! Now only the people of the royal family can hold down the position, otherwise Liangzhou will be finished! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked sideways, and the fat man glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?" Do any of you think I'm wrong? The matter of Lord Fu Luo's coming, Guzang City has been rumored for almost half a month, and now even Lord Thorn Shi has run outside the city gate to greet him, and he did such a big thing last night, isn't he who he is, everyone, what do you say? ”
But everyone turned their heads away and didn't want to respond, obviously for fear of causing trouble. They actually understand the truth that comes from the mouth.
The fat man was very dissatisfied, because many people he knew actually avoided his eyes, obviously afraid of causing trouble, and was about to attack, but he saw a handsome young man in a green robe holding a fan, walked over in a chic manner, and bowed his hand slightly to himself, and said: "Brother Tai Gao, I admire it so much!" ”
The person who came was naturally Duan Ye, and the fat man was a little stunned, because this person looked like a scholar with a bearing, but he had never seen such a person. However, when people saluted, of course they had to return the salute, and the fat man also bowed his hand slightly, and said: "Contemptible Qide, Wuwei people, I don't know your Excellency's ......"
"Jingzhao Duan Shimin." Duan Ye smiled and nodded. He didn't know that this meeting between the two was the beginning of an era......
