A group of people, looking at this spacious road, was speechless for a long time, and after a while, Na Huan Yi nodded and praised: "This road is really spacious and smooth, and sure enough, there are not many people coming to enter, otherwise not to mention the side, it is the hooves of war horses and the footsteps of soldiers trampling back and forth, and this road will be destroyed!" ”

The road is repaired in order for people to walk, but walking, transporting goods, and stepping on ruts, the road will be damaged, and it needs to be repaired repeatedly in order to maintain the old view, otherwise it will be like the road that several people walked in Jizhou before, it is all rugged, and the road can be recognized in front of them.

Don't say that at present, it is the era of great development in the future, there are many vehicles coming and going, and under the heavy load, it is inevitable that there will be road damage.

However, it is not easy to maintain a certificate road, and the manpower, energy and money consumed in it are not something that an idler can imagine.

So when the old herdsman heard this exclamation, he stopped talking.

His expression was seen by Huan Yi, and the envoy said: "If you have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

The old herdsman said cautiously: "I heard that the roads in this generation of counties need to be repaired almost every month, so they can be kept in such good condition, but if there is a problem in any road section, they will be rewarded as soon as possible." ”

Huan Yi suddenly felt a little puzzled, he frowned, and asked: "I'm afraid this is a false rumor, because most of this road is smooth, and others look at it as novel, so it is far-fetched to recite it, maybe it is just because it has been newly repaired, and it has not really been destroyed, so it is like this." ”

When the old herdsman listened, he just nodded, saying that he didn't understand very well, and maybe that was what it looked like.

It was Huan Yi's fellow knights, and one of them asked quite puzzledly: "I don't know why Huan Jun makes such a judgment?" Since this is a frontier, there are always merchants coming and going, and as soon as they come, the convoy is a dozen or twenty cars, and the ruts are falling, and no road can withstand a month or two of tossing, and it will show its decline. ”

Huan Yi listened, nodded, and praised first: "Zhang Shinephew is really a family scholar, he looks at the problem with a very accurate eye, and what he says is the key, this time he goes to Dai County, and you also need to contact Zhang Jun's envoy, he is now Chen Fujun's confidant, I heard that he is in charge of grain and grass logistics, and he is an important person, with him coming forward, this time the matter will be much smoother." ”

The loud knight arched his hand, didn't even dare to say it, and said that he would find a way to contact his uncle to help the king of the county, it seemed that he was not very old, but he was heroic, and after receiving praise, he was even more energetic and vigorous.

It turned out that this person's name was Zhang Sun, a member of the Zhang family in Anping, and Zhang Kang, who worked beside Chen Zhi, was his uncle.

The king of Jiangdu confronted Shile in Jizhou, in order to strengthen the strength and collect the heart of the family, the Zhang family was naturally among them, compared to Chen Zhi who was far away in the northern frontier, which was close at hand, and the king of Jiangdu, who had a righteous name, was undoubtedly the target worthy of refuge and betting, so many of the children of the Zhang family were among them, this bamboo shoot is one of them, and it is considered to be the leader of the younger generation.

After this boast, Huan Yi turned to his opinion-

"Lao Xie said a few points just now, as long as you consider and analyze, you can deduce the strange behind it, knowing that it is an exaggeration, this first point, that is, it must be revised every month, but it is simple, how difficult is it to implement? I know that Chen Fujun had previously defeated the aliens, gathered many alien soldiers and horses, and imprisoned many Hu people to work in the mines, which sounds good, in fact, it is to demote them to slaves, this slave is under strict guard, and it is okay to use it as coolies, but it is very complicated to use it to build roads, supervision, inspection, and prevent them from escaping, it is a big project, without the help of the imperial court and the state government, it is categorically difficult to last, not to mention the monthly repair, just mobilization, these thousands of slaves, it will take more than a month. ”

Zhang Yan listened, nodded again and again, tasted the key, and felt deeply rewarded.

And Huan Yi then changed his words: "In addition, it is this'Where there is a problem in the road section, it will be reported as soon as possible', this sentence is a bit exaggerated, you must know that although Dai County is a county under the rule of Youzhou, but there are more than 3,000 households in four counties, I heard that a new city has been built recently, called Daibei, scattered parties, that is, the liaison between counties, all have to gallop quickly, from north to south, run for a day or two, and now it is a road somewhere, but whenever there is a problem, it can be transmitted immediately, and then mobilize people to repair it? ”

"I see!" When Zhang Zhu heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and he only felt that the whole person's thinking was clear, and he couldn't help but praise it again and again, and he secretly sighed in his heart, this Huan Yi is also worthy of being a famous Jiangzuo figure.

As far as he knows, in recent years, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places, in addition to many figures, because they are close to Jiangzuo, so they are all famous in Jiangzuo, among which the loudest, of course, is Chen Zhi, and now in the north for the Taishou, one after another thwarted foreign and civil strife, and there are many big moves.

In addition, there are several people, and this Huan Yi is one of them.

Moreover, compared with the sudden rise of Chen Zhi, Huan Yi's reputation is undoubtedly easier for ordinary people to accept, following a step-by-step path, and during this period, Huan Yi is also close to several Jiangzuo celebrities, such as Xie Kun and others, are close to him, which touts and interactions between each other, but also laid the foundation of fame, and also let him have a long connection with the king of Jiangdu.

Now, the king of Jiangdu occupies one side, holds a heavy army, connects with Wang Jun to the north, and can still control Gou Xi to the south.

The Zhang family took refuge in the king of Jiangdu, and all the people under his command have studied and understood, and Huan Yi is no exception.

At this time, Huan Yi also made a judgment: "This is the border, I'm afraid there will be no merchants to pass, plus Chen Fujun is deterred by the might of the soldiers, ordinary thieves dare not approach, so people will feel that the road is smooth and shocked, but if you continue to go deeper, you will find the true appearance." ”

Others also expressed their approval and praise for Huan Yi's judgment, but the herdsman Lao Xie seemed to have other opinions, just feeling the atmosphere of the horse team, and did not dare to show it easily.

In this harmonious atmosphere, the group continued on the road.

Walking and walking, I heard the noise of cars and horses in front of me, and suddenly, everyone was stunned, and then saw a convoy coming towards them, and when I looked at the composition and posture, I knew that it was a convoy of merchants walking in the hinterland of the Central Plains and the frontier.

Caravan?

This name jumped in everyone's hearts, and then their eyes turned to Huan Yi's face.

The confidant of the county king and the envoy of the court still had the same expression, but his heart was also turned upside down, and he felt like he had eaten a fly.

I just talked about it, showed this extraordinary vision, and also made everyone praise, and came to the conclusion that there would be no businessmen, but when I turned my face, I saw a caravan of chariots and horses, where is there more embarrassing than this?

"Coincidentally, it is estimated that no one has been walking for a long time, and it happened to be bumped into by us." Zhang Song had the heart to be close to Huan Yi, so he found a conversation to overshadow this matter.

The convoy that happened to be opposite, passing by the side of the convoy at this time, several guards around it, saw many cavalry, and saw that they were all elites, so they signaled one after another to let this group of cavalry go first.

Huan Yi and the others were about to get out of the horse, when suddenly a voice came from a carriage opposite-

"A few people, please stay first."

As the words came, a rather wealthy man stepped down from the bright carriage in the middle.

Although this person is obese, he is wearing good clothes, which cannot be said to be silk and satin, but the texture of the clothes is also extraordinary, and his complexion is also excellent.

He walked up to Huan Yi and the others, arched his hand, and asked: "Looking at the appearance of a few people, they should also be nobles, I don't know if this time I entered Dai County, whether I want to do business, or to find people, or just to come for a tour?" ’

Huan Yi and others have no origins, shoulder the mission, it stands to reason that the battle queue must be in place, even if the gongs and drums are not beaten along the way, it should be reported everywhere, but at the moment Jizhou is not quiet, the roads are no longer smooth, and there are many bandits along the way, it is inevitable that they will be restrained, low-key, too public, and have no intention of waving the flag for people to rob.

This is also the mission of Huan Yi and others, which is not good for Wang Jun, otherwise, if you directly borrow Youzhou, you can save a little trouble.

But in this way, when this person in the past sees them, at most he is regarded as a rich family, and he will not associate with the envoys of the court, and the people of this caravan are like this, after the rich man asked.

Huan Yi frowned, and didn't want to answer, but the herdsman Lao Xie shook his head, stepped forward and said: "I am a merchant from the south, and I have a relationship with the big family, and I went to Dai County because I heard about the reputation of Chen's paper and Dai kiln over there, and I want to contact one or two." ”

When the rich man heard this, he showed a look of joy, and quickly said: "Sure enough, sure enough, Xiaohu, bring my name here." ”

This brainless sentence made Huan Yi and the others more and more impatient, but they had to follow the etiquette, dismount and face each other, and when they took the person's name card and looked at it, the brows stretched a little.

"Your name is Tang Guan?" Retracting his gaze from the post, Huan Yi asked tentatively, "Is it from the Tang family of Daijun?" ”

"Yes, I am a person from the Tang family, although I have come out of the five suits, but because I have a little ability, I value it for Uncle Nine," the rich man said this, and when he saw the doubts on the faces of several people on the other side, he explained with a smile, "My ninth uncle, the ninth uncle." ”

"Tang Dian!" Huan Yi's eyes lit up suddenly, but he knew that this Tang Dian was deeply valued and trusted by Chen Zhi, and now he was the de facto head and talker of the Tang family, if he could get on the line with him, he would undoubtedly be able to get twice the result with half the effort.

Just as he was thinking about how to open his mouth to make friends, the Tang Guan asked someone to bring a few pieces of paper, and said with a smile on his face: "Several, you meet me, we are also fated, why don't you let me be your recommender, come on, fill out this form, and give a recommendation order below, let's be mutually beneficial." ”
