In the next period of time, Zhu Jun liquidated the Du family's property in Wancheng, and all the generals had a share of the profits, and they were full of praise. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoA few days later, there was news that Huangfu Song broke Zhang Bao in Xiaquyang, beheaded more than 100,000 people to build a Jingguan, and shocked the world. The Son of Heaven added him as the general of the left chariot, the Marquis of Huaili, and the food of 8,000 households.

Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao immediately congratulated Zhu Jun: "Huangfu Yizhen has been generously given, and the advance of Ming Gong is not far away." Soon, there was a Qin mission with the emperor's order to add Zhu Jun as the general of the right chariot, Henan Yin, 5,000 households in the food town, and add a special entry. Sun Jian except for Sima of other counties, Qin Jie was appointed as the Taishou of Nanyang, Qiuming awarded Dengzhou Cheng, and the rest of the generals were also rewarded, and they were happy.

Liu Bei listened to the edict from beginning to end, he didn't have his own name at all, he was very unhappy in his heart, and he grabbed Qiu Ming and chattered non-stop: "Our teachers have similar reputations, and they are all from the rebels, who would have thought that the situation is so different now, it is really providence, providence makes people." ”

Qiu Ming himself was also a mess of things waiting to be done, but he was so entangled by these big ears that he couldn't get out of his body, so he had to give him an idea: "Zhu Che will lead the army back to Beijing in a few days, you can follow him into Beijing to report his work." ”

Liu Bei said with a sad face: "My teacher Lu Zhi is now in prison, and I don't have any old friends in Beijing, how can I speak for me?" ”

Tyumen thought to himself, do you have an old friend who has anything to do with me? Do you want me to help you out? I wanted to leave, but Zhang Fei stared at him with his eyes, so he had to continue: "I heard that Zhang Jun in Langzhong is upright and does not dare to speak up, why don't Xuande go to find him?" ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed to leave, and Qiu Ming was just about to go to Guo Jia to discuss, but he saw Changsha Taishou Zhang Ji coming over with a smile: "Zecheng was awarded an official position today, which is really gratifying." ”

Qiu Ming pouted and said: "It's just a county prince who doesn't enter the stream, so what's there to be happy about." ”

Zhang Ji Zhengse said: "The Cheng of a county, the rank ratio is 400 stones, and the county orders and governs the people, how can it be said that it is not in the stream?" It is true that you can't be ambitious, and if you start with your down-to-earth work at your age, it is unknown that you will be ranked as the third prince in the future. ”

Qiu Ming said solemnly: "The kid has been taught, but I don't know where this Dengzhou is?" What about the terroir? ”

Zhang Ji smiled: "I came to you for this matter." Dengzhou is in the southwest of Wancheng, the county order and Pan Naiwu's old friends, my mother and brothers also live in Dengzhou, and I will ask Zecheng to take care of it in the future. ”

Qiu Ming arched his hand and said: "It turned out that Zhang Taishou was in the township, and he would have to be closer to him in the future." He suddenly remembered something: "Dare to ask Taishou, is there a person named Ou Xing in Changsha County?" ”

Zhang Ji said: "There is this person, who is now the head of the Huilongpu Pavilion in Ningxiang, how can Cheng know it?" ”

Qiu Ming lowered his voice and said: "The kid heard someone say at Guangzong Zhangjiao before, this person has resentment and colludes with the yellow scarf, and he will rebel after a long time, and Zhang Taishou must not ignore it." Zhang Ji was shocked: "There is such a thing? Fortunately, I will tell you that I should investigate this matter carefully. ”

Qin Jie became the Taishou of Nanyang, and Qiuming, the Dengzhou Cheng, naturally became his county official, but because of the Ganning matter, the two of them couldn't look at each other. Only one day later, Qin Jie handed over a hundred guards to Qiuming and asked him to hurry to Dengzhou to take up his post, so as not to stay in Wancheng and be an eyesore.

Qiu Ming was in line with his heart, and he took Guo Jia and Wei Yan all the way to Dengzhou. At this time, the yellow scarves all the way to Nanyang are flat, pedestrians come and go on the road, and farmers in the fields are farming, but they have also restored a bit of peace. In the middle of the line, a horse from the rear chased after him, but it was Chen Zhen, a husband from Xi'e County.

Qiu Ming exclaimed: "But Wancheng has something to call me back?" Chen Zhen slurred his words, but did not answer directly. Guo Jia said with a smile: "Chen Xiaoqi was called by me, the city of Western Hubei is broken, and the county magistrate and county lieutenant are all dead, most of the responsibility for losing land and humiliating the people will fall on him, at least he is also a degraded official." I saw that he was proficient in government affairs and familiar with the geography of the vicinity, so I invited him to go to Dengzhou with me. ”

Qiu Ming pulled Guo Jia aside: "You are crazy, I am just a small county man, I only have 300 stones a year, how can I afford to support these idlers?" ”

Guo Jia looked at Qiu Ming and said, "Is your ambition in the world, or in a county?" ”

Qiu Ming suddenly realized, and immediately tidied up his clothes and bowed to Chen Zhen: "The kid doesn't know how to advance or retreat, and he neglects Mr., so it's no wonder that filial piety rises." ”

Chen Zhen hurriedly replied: "Chen Zhen treats the guilty person, fortunately he was taken in by Qiu County, do you dare to repay it?" ”

Everyone continued to move forward, and Guo Jia asked: "Xi'e is very close to Dengzhou, do you know what the situation is in Dengzhou?" ”

Chen Zhen said: "Dengzhou is the gateway of the division, Xiangyang in the south, Danjiang in the west, the terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast, the people are simple and the land is fertile, and the grain is very abundant. ”

Tyumen was happy, in the era of cold weapons, food was an important strategic resource, and it seemed that God had finally given himself a few thin noodles, so that he finally had a good start. He was complacent, and suddenly heard Chen Zhen say: "But ......"

Qiuming hated this the most, but, sank his face and said, "But what? ”

"But most of the land in the county is owned by the powerful landlords, the people are not overwhelmed, there is no surplus grain in the warehouse, every disaster year or sell children and daughters, or flee with the famine, and in the harvest year, there are often Jingzhou soldiers come to eat, the people are overwhelmed, compared to Xi'e County, it is more suitable to live."

Tyumen was surprised: "Does the local county order not care?" ”

"He county order is a local hero, and each family is in contact with each other, and he is also widely favored in the court, how can he care? As for the entry of Jingzhou soldiers, he wanted to manage it but didn't dare to manage it, and every time he sent a letter to reprimand him, he was prevaricated back with a sentence that there was no such thing, and he became a laughing stock for a while. Over time, the county magistrate simply stopped being a director, and only drank and recited poetry in the mansion for fun. ”

At this time, the procession passed through a small village, where the smell of wheat was wafting with smoke, and Tyumen also ordered the team to stop and use some dry food. There were many hungry people passing by on the side of the road, and they were driven out by the villagers with wooden sticks and iron forks and were not allowed to enter the village, so they had to look at Qiumen and the others with a blank eye.

Qiu Ming saw a yellow-faced and thin-skinned child among the hungry people, and ordered Wei Yan to send some dry food over, but was robbed by the adults next to him. Wei Yan was furious, grabbed his fist and wanted to fight, Qiu Ming saw that the person in his hand was skinny and skinny, he was afraid that he would not be able to withstand his punch, so he hurriedly stopped.

Chen Zhen asked for a while: "These are the villagers of Dengzhou, who fled to this place because of the flooding of the Qili River. ”

Wei Yan said: "I am also a local, I have never known the Turbulent River, but I have never heard of the Qili River, don't you hear it wrong." ”

Chen Zhen said with a smile: "The Qili River is a section of the Turbulent River, when the eldest prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea was demoted to the Turbulent River, but he colluded with the old rich man on the south bank to constantly move the river north and encroach on the land on the north bank. On the north bank, there is a Confucian named Eccentric Chen, who gave up his life to sue the emperor until the Jade Emperor case, the Jade Emperor killed the demon dragon for the ancient life, and moved the Turbulent River south for seven miles, and from then on this section of the Turbulent River is also called the Seven Mile River. ”

Qiu Ming sighed: "Filial piety is worthy of being a local pass." ”
