In China's thousands of years of history, Guanzhong is a very special area. The so-called Tianfu is the mighty country in the world. China's most glorious dynasties, Qin, Han and Tang, all took Guanzhong as their foundation.

But in the Ming Dynasty, when Qian Yuan stepped into this land, the most intuitive impression was that it was dry, the air was dry, the ground was dry, and the lack of water sources was the direct reason, and it was also the fuse that led to the rise of refugees later.

In fact, before the Northern Song Dynasty, Guanzhong was not short of water. Since the Qin Dynasty built the Zheng State Canal, the Han Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties successively built water canals, making Guanzhong a rich place.

The long wars and chaos during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods and the dismissal of the people-friendly officials led to the abandonment of a large number of canals, and the drying of many rivers caused this rich land to decline.

From this perspective, sweet potatoes and potatoes are drought-resistant and easy to survive.

"It's ahead." Zhou Shi pointed to the river faintly visible in front of him, and there were two houses not far from the river.

Qian Yuan looked down at the fields on both sides of the road, and the plants were all sweet potatoes, vines, and leaves were still green, and it was obvious that it was not the time to harvest.

"It's a blessing that Brother Jiaxu is aware of Chenggu County, otherwise there would be no good idea." Qian Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked at the figure standing at the door of the house. He was a middle-aged man with a ravine on his face.

This is Zeng Xian’s eldest son Zeng Chun, who is 32 years old this year. He looks like an old farmer.

"Zhou Zhi County." Zeng Chun saluted respectfully.

Zeng Xian abandoned the market and had no wealth in the family. His wife, Liu, and his two sons, were exiled to Chenggu, Hanzhong. They could not eat enough and could not cover their bodies. They continued until Wang Yi threw himself into Qian Yuan's disciples and gradually recovered.

In June this year, Zhou Shi became the magistrate of Chenggu. He used the official fields to try to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes. Using this as an excuse, the Zeng family and his son moved to the river to watch the fields. Life finally got better. Before, the three of them lived in one room.

"This is Qian Zhancai from Songjiang." Zhou Shi pulled Zeng Chun up and said with a smile: "Didn't you still be thinking about it a few days ago?"

Qian Yuan felt nervous. Although it was his first time meeting with the Zeng family, he had been in contact for six or seven years. The only one in the Zeng family, Zeng Xian’s wife Liu, knew about him. What did this kid think about me?

Zeng Chun gave another courtesy, "Although he was born in Yangzhou, his ancestral home is Huangyan, Taizhou, and his hometown is preserved. My mother mentioned it several times and thanked Lord Qian."

"It's past, it's past." Qian Yuan held Zeng Chun up, "Taizhou magistrate Tan Zili is both civil and military, and strives to protect Taizhou..."

"Hahaha..." Zhou Shi laughed and said, "That's thanking Zhan Cai... That's your uncle."

Zhou Shi has been to Zeng's family many times. Although Qian Yuan is famous all over the world and sharp-tongued, he is not as arrogant as Xu Wei. The three of them are just talking about speculation.

Although Zeng Chun was born in Yangzhou, he also visited the old house in Huangyan. He asked about Zengjia Lane on Cangtou Street. Qian Yuan told him in detail, and then talked about Wu Baipeng who won the great victory in Yangzhou.

The three of them were chatting and laughing outside. An old woman could be seen in the main hall. She was squinting her eyes and looking at the guards Qian Yuan carried outside. After a while, she slowly walked out the door, "Chun'er, the distinguished guest is here, why are you chatting outside?"

Qian Yuan turned around and the old woman's hair was white, her cloth skirt was not made up, and a wooden hairpin was inserted into her bun, and her face was calm.

His eyes touched the air, Qian Yuan sighed lightly and saluted, "My younger brother, Qian Yuan, Songjiang, has seen the old lady."

"I dare not accept this ceremony." Liu gave in a little, "Please come in to serve tea."

The Zeng family was exiled to Hanzhong, so naturally there were no servants. Zeng Chun personally poured tea and was sorry.

Qian Yuan smiled and said, "There is no difference in the entrance of the broken tea dragon well, but in fact, a cup of clear water is enough."

"Huating Qian family is a scholarly family and a family of officials, so he is naturally good at tea tasting." Liu sat in the main seat and whispered: "This is a gift from Zhou Zhi County."

Zhou Shiren nodded when he laughed. He was a scholar in Suiyuan, so he naturally knew that Qian Yuan really couldn't taste tea.

"My husband moved to Yangzhou when he was young. His ancestral home was Huangyan, Taizhou. He was also a member of Huangyan. Lord Qian attacked the Japanese in the southeast and protected the coast. He also heard about it far away from the northwest."

"The first contribution to the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Ruzhen, the second contribution to the governor of Taizhou, Tan Zili, the deputy general of Zhejiang, Qi Yuanjing, and the general of Ning Shao, Lu Bin." Qian Yuan slowly pulled the topic apart and looked at Zhou Shi. He was not here to come to listen to the praises of the praises today.

Zhou Shi coughed twice, "Old lady, I received a letter from Beijing yesterday. Yan Fenyi was seriously ill and had already returned to the west."

Liu suddenly stood up and threw down the plates containing dried fruits on the table. He was nervous and hopeful, and disappointed, "Is Yan Thief dead?!"

With hope, it is because Yan Song died, and Zeng Mian's case may be able to turn it over.

With disappointment, it is because Yan Song was not defeated by political enemies, and Zeng Xin's case may not necessarily turn over.

In the original time and space, under Xu Jie's command, in the first year of Longqing, Xia Yan and Zeng Xian were both enlightened at the first time. Xu Jie gained unparalleled political prestige, and then cleaned up the Yan Party and recalled a large number of officials suppressed by the Yan Party to fill the court. Only in this way could he easily defeat Jian Zai Di Xin Gao Gong.

In this life, Xu Jie's reputation plummeted for planning to assassinate Yan Shifan, but once Yan Song died, Xu Jie was likely to be the chief minister of the cabinet... Qian Yuan thought in his mind that if Emperor Jiajing died soon and Zeng Jian's case was turned over with Xia Yan, it would be the most likely method Xu Jie could use.

Qian Yuan came here today to break the Xu Jie road.

Liu's expression was a little complicated, but Zeng Chun's face was only happy. In his opinion, if Yan Song died, the Zeng family could turn over.

After a while, Liu looked up at Qian Yuan, who smiled and turned to look at Zhou Shi.

Although Zhou Shi didn't know the inside story, she immediately stood up and called Zeng Chun who was still ignorant to go out... Only Qian Yuan knew Wang Yi's identity in Suiyuan, and Liang Sheng and Peng Feng, the current leader of the guard team, were not aware of it. The only two insiders, Yang Wen and Zhang San, were still in the southeast.

Seeing Zhou Shi closing the door, Liu stood up and bowed solemnly, "Since the 32nd year of Jiajing, he has received many help from Longquan and thanked him for his old age."

"The old lady is too heavy." Qian Yuan returned the gift for half a gift, with a faint expression, "It will only benefit both parties."

Liu shook his head slightly. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, Yan Song was as strong as the top. Yan Shifan entered the cabinet to take charge of the plan. Yan Party was in power all over the world. Qian Yuan was a student at that time, and he was a student who was in charge of Wang Yi and Yi assisted the Zeng family. Such kindness was not a transaction.

What's more, even if it's a transaction, the Zeng family owes favors that they are afraid they will never be able to repay.

Taking a deep breath, Liu didn't know where to start. After hesitating for a while, he asked: "Dare you ask Lord Qian, are there any signs in the court?"

"Not." Qian Yuan replied briefly and clearly: "The case of that year was appointed by Your Majesty."
