The Montenegrin Army is known as 100,000, how many troops can really have combat effectiveness, to put it bluntly, the Montenegrin Army is an army composed of a group of homeless people, without good equipment, it is difficult for them to succeed, especially after Yang Feng betrayed Zhang Yan and the Jizhou Army, it led to the defeat of the Montenegrin Army, even if it was hidden in the mountains, it was difficult to restore its previous strength, and the defeated Montenegrin Army was more incorporated into the Jizhou Army, which added to the strength of Jizhou.

Zhaojia Village is twenty miles away from Bingzhou, which is not far, and some people usually bring the things in the fields to Jinyang to sell, but there are very few people who go to the city to make a living, most of them work one acre and three points of land at home, and rely on the production in the fields to survive, which is also the habit of most people, and they are unwilling to go too far from home.

As long as Zhao Yan is mentioned in Zhaojia Village, absolutely everyone knows, the Zhao family was originally a big family in Jinyang, but it gradually declined, and after living in the city, he came to Zhaojia Village, compared with the simple people, the Zhao family has a lot of means, from the first time to Zhaojia Village, to the present, the people don't know how much there is good land, and secretly the villagers are also afraid of the Zhao family.

The Zhao family may not be able to call anything in Jinyang at the beginning, but after arriving in a place like Zhaojia Village, it seems to have become a behemoth, even if the Zhao family has declined, they also know a lot of officials in the city, after Lu Bu took charge of the state, the big family in the city declined, and the small family jumped up, of course, their jump was also within the limited conditions, as for challenging Lu Bu's prestige in the state, they didn't dare.

The division of the land of the state pastoral mansion allowed the people to get the land, and it also made Zhao Yan see the opportunity, he aimed at the fields in the hands of the people, and it must be known that at this time, the division of the state pastoral mansion was almost all divided into the fertile fields outside the city.

Zhao Yan is also quite cautious, especially after hearing about Lu Bu's various things, it is impossible to forcibly occupy the people's fields on the surface, but the Zhao family is rich, and there are many poor people among the people, as long as a little means are used, the goal can be easily achieved, he is also a land purchased from the hands of the people, even if someone from the state comes to check, he is not afraid, the relationship of the Zhao family in Jinyang is limited to those small families, but it is Lu Bu's strong means that make these small families gradually become the climate.

Lu Bu took Qin Yu and three new officials of the Patrol Mansion to Zhaojia Village in disguise, and the reason why he went in person was also based on Jia Xu and Li Su's reasons, he wanted to see with his own eyes how a small family outside Jinyang City was implicated in the city, and whether these assassins were hiding in Zhaojia Village.

These three officials are also good talents in the academy, and they can become the order of a county with a little training, similar to many students, they are the children of poor families, and they are very hateful to those who use the power in their hands to take advantage of them, and the inspection office is extremely important in the state, and the selection of officials is also extremely cautious, even if they are not used, they will not let people with unknown backgrounds enter it.

Although they traveled in disguise, the number of flying eagle soldiers who were secretly protecting reached fifty, and Dian Wei was among them.

The identities of the four were merchants in the city, and they passed through Zhaojia Village, which was also to avoid arousing the vigilance of people with intentions.

There is still a lot of snow on the road, and the cement road in Jinyang has not yet been built here, and it is too big under the rule, and the state governor can only build the cement road on the main road.

When the snow stopped, many people were also sweeping the snow on their houses, especially some people whose houses were not very good, and they got up early, and if the snow could not be cleared in time, it was likely that their houses would collapse.

When the carriage arrived at the entrance of the village, Lu Bu was keenly aware that an old man was crying silently in front of the door, and he didn't even clean up the snow on the house.

Whether it is the people outside the city or the people of Jinyang, after the heavy snowfall, they will clean the snow on the house, which is also a habit developed for many years, and everyone wants their house to collapse because of the snow, not to mention that the snow is not small.

The sound of squeaking interrupted the old man who was squatting in front of the door.

"Below is a merchant in the city, the road is difficult to walk, and now it is almost noon, I want to rest in the village before walking, I wonder if it is convenient for your family?" Qin Yu stepped forward and asked.

The old man raised his head and glanced at the carriage parked outside the door, and nodded after a moment of silence, there are many merchants in Jinyang, and in the past, there would be merchants who passed through Zhaojia Village and rested in the village, and they would all pay a sum of money, which could be regarded as an additional income for the villagers.

"In Xia Zhao Ji, he ranks fourth in the family, and ordinary people call him the fourth in Xia, and his home is simple and he neglects the guests." Zhao Ji arched his hand and said, many people name their children according to Uncle Ji, like Zhaojia Village is a nearby big village, there are one hundred and fifty families, and there are not a few names that are repeated.

After entering the house, after taking a little look, Lu Bu knew that the situation in Zhao Ji's house was not very good, and the house was also exceptionally cold, coal was already quite popular in Jinyang, especially in winter, the price of coal was not very expensive, even ordinary people could buy some to resist the cold of winter, and when there were guests coming to the door, they would also burn some, which looked decent.

After taking his seat, Lu Bu glanced at Qin Yu on the side.

Qin Yu understood, stepped forward and said, "Thank you for taking it in, these are the expenses for staying." ”

Zhao Ji saw that Qin Yu's shot was also quite generous, I am afraid that there are hundreds of dollars in the money bag, if it is put in the past, he will definitely be very happy, and he will also refuse, but now the situation at home is already very critical, after taking the money bag, Zhao Ji said: "The guests come to the door, there is no hospitality at home, and the old man is very ashamed." ”

"You're welcome, it's a blessing to be able to take us in in such a cold weather, I wonder if you can know Zhao Yan?" Qin Yu asked.

Lu Bu, who had been observing Zhao Ji, found that when he heard Zhao Yan, Zhao Ji's expression was flustered, and there was also a hint of anger.

"I don't know why the guests are looking for Zhao Yan?" Zhao Ji asked vigilantly.

"Oh, that's right, I've been doing business in Jinyang for a long time, and I have had several acquaintances with Zhao Yan, and I heard that he was in Zhaojia Village, so I asked this question." Qin Yu explained with a smile.

Zhao Ji said: "Zhao Yan lives in the middle of the village, and the house is very conspicuous, and the guests will know it as soon as they go." ”

Qin Yu nodded and said, "When I passed by Your Excellency's door, I saw Your Excellency sighing for a long time, I don't know what is going on?" Now that the Marquis of Jin is in charge of the state, the people have land to plant, live and work in peace and contentment, what else is there to worry about? ”
