Chapter 450: Small Village
A day later, Xu Miao and Sima Yi left Pingyuan City. Before leaving, Xu Miao politely went to Shenhui, the prefect of Pingyuan County, to say goodbye. Although his official position is much higher than that of Shenhui, as long as he has not been registered at the Shangshu Desk, he is still a yamen runner in Pingyuan County. Since he is still, he still needs to fulfill his responsibilities. If he suddenly disappears, it will not only make those yamen runners who admire him worry, but also bear the importance that Shenhui attaches to him these days.
Over the past few years, Xu Miao has not said how much knowledge he has increased, but at least he has become much more calmer than before, without anxiety or urgency. Even if he is in the high position of the ministry hall in an instant, he will return to normal after only a moment of surprise.
A normal mind, simple to say, is actually quite difficult to do, especially for people like Xu Miao, who are resourceful and profoundly valued by Yuan Xi, so the superiority of ordinary people is easily born.
The departing process was not very smooth. Due to Yuan Xi's order, Xu Miao could only say that there was something at home, but Shen Hui thought that Xu Miao thought the status of the yamen runner was too low, so he was preparing to leave. He had already seen Xu Miao's ability these days. Not only was he a master of solving cases, but he was also an internal affairs genius. How could he give up easily with such a helper? He quickly prepared to promote Xu Miao to a formal official. Xu Miao was both moved and helpless. After all, Shen Hui realized that Xu Miao was determined to leave, and in the end he could only drink a glass of wine and bid farewell to this friend who had been less than a few months.
And no one knows that it is this friendship that allowed Shenhui to preserve the huge storm decades later. This is a later story, so I won’t say much here.
After Xu Miao and Sima Yi left, Yuan Xi did not disturb Shen Hui. After a while in Pingyuan County, he led his people to travel east. Their target was the second legion base located next to Qingzhou and across Xuzhou. However, before going, Yuan Xi decided to go to Linzi, the prefecture of Qingzhou, to take a look.
Originally, the Sixth Army was also his destination, but Gan Ning had already moved to the Sihan South with the army of the Sixth Army. Therefore, only less than 4,000 people were left in the former Shanghe station, and Yuan Xi had no desire to see it. However, when he officially launched an attack on Japan in the future, he must go and see it.
After crossing the Shanghe River, which once blocked Jiaotu's army, Yuan Xi and others enjoyed the scenery in various places while secretly investigating the administration of officials and people's livelihood. Gaotang, Luoyin, Zhuoxian and other counties passed one by one. Overall, Yuan Xi was still quite satisfied. What made him even more happy was that 40% of the officials in the passing counties were already held by poor families, which would have a huge help to the implementation of reforms in the future.
One day after visiting about half a month, at dusk, Tian Feng gently held a royal pigeon on a huge inland lake and said with a smile: "King, the memorial of Shangshutai has arrived again."
Yuan Xi looked at the scene in front of him, and under the sunset, the colorful Ju Dinghu appeared to be reflected in the sunset, and nodded and said, "The Right Prime Minister and Kong Ming have something to do. After you look at it, you will reply and do as you please."
"promise!"
"How long will it take to go from Juding to Linzi?" Yuan Xi asked.
"Young master, it will take about two days," Han Yan replied.
"Okay, I don't know if Yide has found a place to rest," Yuan Xi said with a wry smile. This ancient time was not as modern as modern. There were cars everywhere. Sometimes there were no people within ten miles of radius, and the cities in various places were closed at a certain time.
"Young Master" After a while, Zhang Fei rode his horse and rushed over from afar. After getting off the horse, he immediately ran to Yuan Xi and said with a smile: "Young Master, there is a village not far ahead. We might as well stay there for a night."
"Will the village be too simple?" Han Yan frowned.
"No obstacle, no obstacle, good virtue, have you asked if you are willing or not? If you don't want to, you can't force yourself?" Yuan Xi asked.
"I've asked, they are willing to let us stay for one night. The village chief is a very refreshing person," Zhang Fei smiled confidently.
"Haha, okay, then let's go and have a look," Yuan Xi said with satisfaction.
The group got on the horses and rode along Juding Lake for a quarter of an hour. After seeing a large village appearing in front of them. At this time, at the entrance of the village, a middle-aged man with broken arms was waiting there with a few young men holding hoes. When he saw Yuan Xi and others dressed in a wealthy and noble manner, the man's face was a little surprised.
"Village Chief, this is my young master." After Zhang Fei dismounted, he immediately laughed loudly.
"When Wang Fei, pay homage to the young master," the man with broken arms immediately bowed to Yuan Xi.
"The village chief doesn't have to be too polite. We originally wanted to rush to Linzi, but we didn't expect it to be delayed. Today I was disturbed." Yuan Xi held the whip and thanked with a smile.
When Wang Fei heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "It's just a place to live. Who hasn't encountered any trouble outside?"
"Haha, the village chief is not afraid that we are bad people." Hearing this, Pang Tong asked curiously.
Wang Fei smiled faintly. Before he could speak, a young man next to him said proudly: "Don't look at our village chief who broke an arm. He is the proudest hero of my Dayan, and he has the Jin Yao Medal personally enthroned by the Gao Shun of the Fifth Army."
"What?" Yuan Xi frowned, and Han Yan next to him immediately said in surprise: "Village Chief, what he said is true."
"That's all in the past," Wang Fei said modestly.
"Bastard" Tian Feng couldn't help but roar and said, "The honorary soldiers are the foundation of the king. Every honorary soldiers must be arranged by each prefecture, county and county. You are the Jin Yao medal. Why is this happening? Where is your household registration? Who arranged it for you?"
Looking at Tian Feng who was angry, the broken armed man was stunned for a moment. Why is this guy even more angry than himself?
"This is because the village chief offended Governor Liu's son, so he has never been arranged." Another young man immediately said unwillingly.
"Stop the mouth" The man with broken arms looked straight and said sternly: "Governor, how can you discuss it?"
"The Governor Liu you are talking about is Liu Fang!" Yuan Xi asked lightly, but the chill in the words made people tremble.
"Actually, this is nothing. Compared to those brothers who have died on the battlefield, I am already very lucky. Now in the village, I train these young men every day and let them join the army when the king needs it. This is not disappointing the king's kindness to us." The broken-armed man smiled without any mind.
After a while, Yuan Xi was silent, he said softly: "Yes, haha."
