Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 538 Today's Qilu
It's not difficult for Zhao Ding to obtain a set of other credentials to cover up his identity and enter Huainan in the name of a merchant.

Helpless, today's era is so imprecise.As for the credentials of the court of Zhao and Song Dynasties, you only need to falsify them with your heart, as much as you want.

It is also because of this that the previous experience said that the territory of Qidi is full of thatched houses and sheds, and there are holes everywhere.Unless Lu Qian prohibits Yu foreign trade.

Even some fine workers hold a lot of personal credentials, including the general credentials of Liangshan's rule, in terms of appearance, texture, seal, and handwriting, they are all the same, except that they are not backed up in the official house.

However, some people also took the identity certificate issued from the house. Although it is still not backed up, who can tell it is fake?

Just when Zhao Ding went to Bozhou for a private visit in name, Xiao Jiasui, who had already arrived in Jeju, also chose a private visit with a microservice.After hitting Rencheng, he got off the boat and rode northward on horseback.

Xiao Jiasui brought a few entourages with him, among them were the two scholars he had recruited when he was in Huainan.Being in the hinterland of Liangshan, and being good at martial arts, I don't have to worry about safety.A group of people rode in a team and went straight to Yuncheng.He himself was dressed as a wealthy son, the older of the two scholars, Mr. Li, was the steward, the other Mr. Xu was the clean-up guest, and the rest were attendants and guards, just acting in their true colors.

As soon as he took office at the boundary of the city, he happened to see a high mountain.It is steep on all sides and steep on all sides.Weird Qiao Song Pan Cui cover, branched old trees hanging wisteria.The mountain birds mourn, and the elk flocks, jumping back and forth through the thorns, calling before and after looking for wild food.Standing on the grass slope, looking around, there is no business hotel.

Then Mr. Li was very emotional, "Putting this place in the middle of Shu, it must be the advantage of being robbed by strong people." But this gentleman is from Renshou in Longzhou, central Sichuan. The reason why he came out of Sichuan was not for anything else, but for Just survive.

The land of Sichuan and Shu is now the key management area of ​​Zhao Song, but it was Zhao Ji who transferred a large number of cronies and old ministers just in case.Among these people, there are many people with high integrity, but more of them are not high.Longzhou happened to catch up with such a low-level official. Mr. Li had to go out of Sichuan to avoid disaster because he had done harm to Nazhizhou.With anger burning in his chest, it is normal to come to join the Liangshan Army.But to be accepted as a guest by Xiao Jiasui is Mr. Li's luck.

But at this moment, Xiao Jiasui felt that there was nothing wrong with it, seeing that the mountain was born strangely and densely covered with trees, he was happy in his heart, but he didn't see it enough, he was nostalgic and missed the time.Seeing that it was getting dark, I woke up and quickly went to find a place to stay.Although it is Xia Yue Tiandao, it is okay to rest casually in the woods for a night.But it’s not beautiful in the end.

Not to mention wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in such mountains and fields, it is certain that there will be endless insects.In summer, when the worms come out of their burrows, once someone hurts them, even if it doesn't kill them, it's not beautiful.

After entering the Zhongdu County boundary, the group of people did not look for the official road and just ran on the country road. Before they had run a few miles, Xiao Jiasui couldn't help being surprised and sighed to the followers around him: "I never thought about Zhongdu. In a secluded place like the county, at this time, it would take more than a day or two to repair the country roads and look at the soil and roadbed." Compared with the country roads here, the official road in Jinghu Land , have been dilapidated beyond recognition.

It's not that Xiao Jiasui has never been to Qilu, but this is the first time for him since the Liangshan Army's uprising.Earlier in Huainan, when I read the news and listened to the chats of my colleagues in the army, I more or less said that Qilu’s appearance had changed a lot, but what I heard was not what I saw.There was always a trace of hesitation in his heart.But now, the official roads in Rencheng are not mentioned, and the small roads in Zhongdu are all like this, why don't you make him feel embarrassed?

Mr. Li is also squinting his eyes. The country road is not wide, but it is very smooth. You can see the traces of tamping and repairing.Moreover, the two sides of the official road have been mixed with the left and right, and there is no distinction between them, which means that the repairs here have been done for some time.After hearing what Xiao Jiasui said, other people waited until they noticed this, and they all talked about it there.One of them said: "The villain is from Xiangyang. The ruts on the land roads there have already become ditches. If there are few people walking on the roads, grass will grow. If you take a big cart, you have to fill in the ditches and dig the soil in front. It’s really neat here.”

A group of people were amazed and skeptical. They really didn't believe that such a neat road could exist in the countryside of this small county.After walking for a while, I could see a village in front of me, with smoke rising from the kitchen.

Walking forward for a while, I saw that there were still farmers on the side of the road, but they were picking up the ears of wheat that had fallen from the farmland.

The Dragon Boat Festival has passed, and it is time to harvest wheat in late April and early May.It's just a few days before and after, mostly because the situation in different places is different.The wheat has just been harvested in Zhongdu, and there are still ears of wheat that have been pulled down in the field to pick up.

The pair of farmers and women, aged 40 to [-], each carried a basket with golden ears of wheat inside.Xiao Jiasui's face was full of smiles. There were no disasters in Qilu this year, and the canals and water conservancy facilities in various places were rested. This summer must be a bumper harvest.In this way, the people enjoy happiness and the government also benefits.Because Qilu has to pay taxes this year.

Xiao Jiasui got off his horse and asked. He spoke authentic Shandong dialect, which he learned from Chao Gai, so he would not be noticed at all because of it.Then immediately asked why.The local people are also happy for the roads in Zhongdu County, which is something that even Yuncheng can't do.When asked in such a surprised tone, it's not a proud face that can't stop talking.

However, although Zhongdu County is located by the water, there are many mountains and hills in the territory, and there are no large rivers flowing through it.Transportation has always been inconvenient!However, this place is also rich in materials, especially coal in the southeast and northwest and lead and iron in the north and center. These are necessary materials that have been supplied since Liangshanbo.

As the land of Qilu was captured by the Liangshan army, Zhongdu County, which had a chance to breathe, did not follow the fate of everything, but under the call of the new county magistrate, it took half a year and five labors to spend money and effort. More than [-] times, more than [-] yuan in money, and [-] grains in grain, finally opened up the official and rural roads in the entire county.Although it cannot be transported by water, it ensures that the lead, iron and coal in the county are beneficial and complementary.

The whole of Qilu belongs to the Liangshan Army. Lead and iron, especially iron smelting, Laiwu Supervisor and Liguo Supervisor are the centers that do their part. Although Zhongdu County has iron, there are deficiencies in terms of cost, output and craftsmanship. .

If you want to live in the same old way, if nothing else, just smelting iron, it will only shrink day by day.

Fortunately, there is a new county gentleman here, Lu Junyi, the former steward of the family, who has that economic acumen.

The construction of roads will at least allow the coal in Zhongdu County to be transported to the waterside wharf in the fastest and easiest way.Send people to Liguojian and Laiwujian to dig out experts, and change from the original iron production to iron making.

In general, this county official saved the coal, lead and iron industries in Zhongdu County.Now he has been transferred to Hebei for promotion, but everyone in Zhongdu County still thinks of him well.

With coal, lead and iron, how many people in Zhongdu County will have their jobs saved?The work in the mines is more dangerous than farming, but it also pays, right?What's more, there are day laborers who say this.

"Good official, good official." Mr. Li praised repeatedly after hearing this.Although Lu Xianzun's background is not high, his deeds are more than ten or a hundred times better than that of Longzhou magistrate who was born as a Jinshi.
"It is said that this road is the economic center of Zhongdu County, and the fathers and villagers in the village are taking care of it. If there are any potholes, they will be repaired immediately." Xiao Jiasui felt even more emotional.Being an official will benefit one party.These eight words are easy to say but difficult to do, but now the former county lord of Zhongdu County has done it perfectly.

People have left office, especially the common people praise them, they can be said to be capable officials.

Going further, you will find a certain section of the road that has obviously been repaired recently.It is enough to prove that what the former said is true.

That Mr. Xu is an expert in accounting, he was born in an accountant, he doesn't know anything else, but he pays special attention to the economy.Said: "There are so many roads in a county, not to mention the official roads. If you don't mention the official roads, it may take three or two hundred miles to stand on these small country roads. The preface costs tens of thousands of manpower and tens of thousands of money and food. It is not false. It’s just that I don’t know how much can be produced with such an investment?”

Only input but no output, no matter how admirable it is, it will eventually lose its color.

The sun had completely set, and the sky had turned dark blue. In the afterglow, Xiao Jiasui and his party finally rushed to the official road.However, it is probably twice as spacious as the official road in Huainan, and it is more neatly repaired. Although the trees planted along the roadside are not tall, you can tell the age of the trees, and shallow ditches can be seen on both sides of the road. For drainage, there are endless farmland and canals in the distance, which are connected to each other, and shallow ditches are enough.

Walking along the official road for another three or five miles, the sky had already darkened, but I finally saw a sign indicating that there was an inn one mile ahead.

Xiao Jiasui laughed.

The inns and signs along the way are also Lu Qian's measures. The latter can be regarded as an extension of the boundary markers, but it adds a lot of fresh meaning.The former is the evolution of the post station, but the sovereignty belongs to the local township, and the latter can even contract it to the merchants.

Everything is just for a safe also.

The east wind blows and it is very cool.The roadside inn is leaning against a row of big willow trees hugging each other. In front of the shop, there are several sets of seats under the trees, and flags and streamers are hung on a few thick bundled bamboo poles, and tea and wine are sold.Xiao Jiasui led the horse with his left hand, and waving the whip with his right hand, he arrived slowly. The tangy aroma of wine and meat made his stomach twitch.

In the front and back yards, a few horses and two carts were parked in front of the door, and there were few pedestrians on the road at the moment.It was also dark, and it was too late for lodging at this moment.

Before they settled down, they saw a team marching with torches, stretching back and forth for a distance of ten feet. The first big man was wearing a hard-wearing official uniform and carrying a big stick.A group of young young people behind them are very brave, pulling their guns and sticks.Needless to say, the official uniform in the front must be a policeman, and the latter is a rural militia.

The waiter in the store yelled, and Xiao Jiasui saw the shopkeeper and hurried out from behind the counter.The two tables of guests in the lobby have already taken out their credentials.

This is already a rule.
