All the way out of the town, even if he didn't lead the troops to the battle, Xu Ping's entourage was very large. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoFor convenience, everyone set off in batches and did not walk together. This is to reduce the pressure on local supply along the road, and to facilitate the transportation of materials along the way. Compared with the other two marshals, Xu Ping brought a lot fewer soldiers, but he brought a lot more supplies.

Before dawn on the second day, Xu Ping got up, washed up and prepared to go. From Luoyang to the west, after Xin'an County, you will enter the Hanguguan Ancient Road. Although the Bridge Division has made great efforts to build this ancient road to be able to drive large vehicles, it is still difficult to walk. Moreover, robbers are indispensable in this kind of place, and the local catch is endless. In history, Yang Wenguang was really promoted to the top of the ranks, and what began to make a career was to arrest Zhang Hai, a group of thieves in this area. At this time, Zhang Hai did not make a big fuss, and he did not have a chance to make a big fuss, but his henchmen were scattered in several states.

Xu Pinggui is a festival, handsome all the way, if he is robbed by robbers on the road, the fun will be big. Before entering the valley, try to get up early and stay late, walk more during the day, and get out as soon as possible after entering the valley.

The sun was shining against the ten thousand rays of light, and before it showed its head, Xu Ping's team had already completed the army and was ready to set off.

At this time, Li Ruogu had already left office and was changed to Song Shouzhi Henan Mansion. His status is higher than Xu Ping, and he has the old grudge of cooperating with Lu Yijian to suppress Xu Ping.

According to the usual travel, the magistrate should greet and send off Shili Pavilion, and send local soldiers and horses to escort it.

Xu Ping rode on a horse, looking at the sun that was about to rise in the east, quietly waiting for the arrival of the magistrate of Henan Prefecture.

At this moment, Tan Hu suddenly said: "Jie Shuai, look ahead, why are there so many people?" ”

Xu Ping turned his head to look and saw hundreds of people bustling on the official road, which looked particularly strange in the early morning. The new Henan Prefecture Zhou Tongju took the officials of the prefecture and crowded in front on horseback, full of panic.

stepped forward to see the salute, Xu Ping said to Zhou Tong: "I have already instructed you yesterday, the army crosses, don't disturb the local people, rest early and leave early, why are so many people here today?" ”

Zhou Tong handed over his hand: "Jie Shuai, these people are not summoned by the lower officials!" They heard that the former envoy passed by the mansion, and felt the kindness of the old marshal, so he gathered in front of the palace early in the morning and came with the official to see him off. ”

Xu Ping looked at the eager people, and suddenly remembered the scene when he left Yongzhou and the people there held lanterns to say goodbye on a rainy night. Suddenly, five or six years have passed, and in the past few years, I have experienced the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, the struggle of officialdom, and I feel that I no longer have the sharpness I had back then. You can call your current self sleek, or you can call it sophisticated, in short, you are no longer the teenager who dared to fight back then. However, the people are still the same people as they were back then, and once they leave, they always remember the merits of their stay here. As long as they really did something for them, they would commemorate it in one way or another, and when they had a good life, they would say that if they had done something thanks to which official had done something back then, they would say that if anyone was still here, it would never be like this. Even if they just pass by, they will greet them from afar.

Ten miles long pavilion, Xu Ping dismounted, took the wine glass handed by Tang Lao'er, and drank it all. put the wine glass back on the plate held by Tang Lao'er, looked at the people of Luoyang who were full of joy around him, and said goodbye: "I can't stay for a long time." The kindness of the fathers and elders here, Xu Ping remembered it in his heart! Say goodbye, everyone, please come back! ”

After speaking, he turned over his horse, shook the reins of the horse, and headed towards the Shaanxi Plains in the distance.

Tang Lao'er and the people shouted together: "Xianggong cherishes all the way, and he will break the thief when he goes!" ”

Amidst the shouts of the crowd, the team led by Xu Ping left Luoyang City. To the west, along the old road of Liangjing in the Tang Dynasty, go to Chang'an, go to Shaanxi Road, and go to the extreme place of Qinzhou.

Fengxiang Mansion, Fufeng County, Fengxiang Military Festival, the most densely populated place in Qinfeng Road under the management of Xu Ping.

This place is 1,200 miles away from Luoyang, Xijing, and when Xu Ping came here, it was the weather in February, and the spring flowers were blooming.

The prefect Sun Zude and the general judge Liang Qian greeted them all the way to the mansion, picked up Xu Ping, and walked together.

On the horse, Sun Zude said: "Jingluo, there is still a day's journey to Fucheng, not far from the front is Yixian, how about resting there tonight?" Yixian County is just rushing, it has always been prosperous, and it is not much lost to Fucheng. ”

"Okay, then I'll stop in Yixian. Sun Longtu, speaking of which, we are also old acquaintances, when I returned to the capital from Yongzhou at the beginning, you are knowing the Yuan, it is the time when the court is troublesome. I haven't seen you for many years, but I didn't expect to meet in this land. Not to mention the dream talisman, he and I were originally Jinshi in the fifth year of the Heavenly Sage, and this was the first time we had met since we ascended to the rank of official that year. You are the landlord, prepare a few glasses of thin wine tonight, and we will rest as soon as we get drunk! ”

Sun Zude smiled: "So good! Fengxiang Mansion is producing famous liquor, and it has been famous since ancient times. The wine is best produced in Liulin, and it is very famous in the Tang Dynasty, because it is set up in Fengxiang Xifu, which is also called Xifu Fengxiang here, and the wine is called Xifeng wine. After entering the Song Dynasty, this wine is famous as 'Luquan', and it is the best wine in Guanzhong! ”

Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "In this way, then you must drink a few cups!" Long Tu knows that my family originally made wine, although I am not good at wine, but the world's famous wine, I still have a little experience. ”

Sun Zude said goodbye again and again, and urged the horse forward with Xu Ping and Liang Qian.

Xu Ping had never drunk Xifeng wine in his previous life, but he must have heard of this name. Without him, this is a representative liquor in northern China along with Fenjiu, and it has a long history. Before coming to Qinzhou, Xu Ping did some homework and knew that the Northwest Fan Qiang was extremely fond of alcohol, and almost everyone loved it, and he could give up everything for a sip of wine. What's more, the water wine that is still popular here is now, and the liquor from Xu Ping, which has become popular in the two capitals, has not spread here.

Xu Ping's favorite is the opponent who is addicted to alcohol, and the more alcoholic he is, the better, because he has in his hands the most suitable thing for alcoholics in this era. Those who really don't drink much alcohol are not sensitive to liquor, and those who love wine can taste the wonders of it. A real high-spirited liquor, a glass of stomach will have a drowsy feeling, making people forget the world around them, as if they have become immortals, and there are no more troubles in the world. There are many Qiang ethnic groups in the northwest, they do not belong to each other, daily strife is constant, and the nomadic life is precarious, and the life is more difficult than that of the farming peasants, and the narcotic feeling of alcohol has a great attraction to them. It is similar to how Buddhism was able to take root and spread in these regions.

If you want to stabilize here, the benefits to the upper echelons are high-ranking officials, and the benefits to those ordinary nomads are Buddhist scriptures in one hand and alcohol in the other. They need it, and Xu Ping naturally wants to give it to them. This time he came to Qinfeng Road, Xu Ping not only brought more than a dozen carts of spirits, but also brought craftsmen who made liquor to brew a large amount of liquor here. Qinzhou is isolated and has a mixed population, which is not suitable for setting up these companies and workshops, and Fengxiang Mansion, which is located on the edge of the Guanzhong Plain, is the most suitable place. Most of the industry and commerce on Qinfeng Road should be located here. I didn't expect this to be the hometown of Xifeng wine, so it was naturally the best.
