The Jin Dynasty looks peaceful on the surface, but in fact it has been torn apart, but the common people don't know about it.Just like Wen Zhuocheng sent people to send the Ji family's servants to Xilin County, it wasn't just to take the road and lead them into Gansu, but to split them up and enter in batches from different counties and towns.

The interrogation is not so strict when there are few people. As long as the identity verification is correct, they will be released.If there are too many people, it becomes the key object of inspection. If it is not done well, the interrogation may take several days.Now Emperor Wenchang has not broken his face with the power holders everywhere, and they can still communicate with each other normally.However, the review of large-scale grain transactions is very strict, and grain merchants can only find someone to cooperate in private.

Pan Mingjie is different from Wen Zhuocheng. He depends on the time of his travels. Only when a suitable caravan passes through Shaanxi can he take a ride.After he returned to his hometown, worshiped his ancestors, and donated a certain amount of money to his clansmen, he rushed to Xilin County.

When he arrived in Xilin County, it was already the season of spring and flowers blooming.From Kangping County to his hometown in Shaanxi, there was a caravan to follow. When they arrived near his hometown, the caravan left after finishing their work. After that, the two parties had different itineraries, and Pan Mingjie had to separate from the caravan.

Being careful in everything, Pan Mingjie took a few servants to the county next door to his hometown, observed carefully for a few days, and found a small caravan to accompany them, which not only increased safety, but also was not too conspicuous, which was in line with his ideal. need.

The destination of the small caravan was not Xilin County. Not long after entering Gansu, Pan Mingjie parted ways with them.The law and order in Gansu is still good, and the small area is easy to manage. The bandits and road tyrants have little room to live, but it is safer than under the rule of Emperor Wenchang.

Based on this discovery, after parting with the small caravan in Gansu, Pan Mingjie no longer accompanied the caravan, and the group went straight to Xilin County.

"My lord, my uncle is here."

Shao Yunchen was startled at first, then overjoyed. After sorting out the description, he hurried to the hall in the front yard.

"Uncle, why are you here? Are grandma and the others okay?" It has been more than three years since I left Kangping County, and I only exchanged letters occasionally. When I suddenly saw my natal relatives, Shao Yunchen's eyes were slightly red, and his tone was a little excited, "Uncle Qiu , all the guest rooms arranged for the uncle have been tidied up?"

"Reporting to my lord, everything is ready, uncle can wash and move in at any time." Qiu Bo, as the chief housekeeper of the Ji family, will not be careless, the guest room is ready at any time, and it can be accommodated with a little tidying up.

"Uncle, the horses and horses are exhausted along the way, you go to the guest room to rest for a while to refresh your mind, and then my nephew will pick you up in the evening." Shao Yunchen said so, but did not make up his own mind. Seeing that Pan Mingjie had no objection, he led the way.

Following the caravan, the itinerary was not up to Pan Mingjie to decide, sometimes tight and sometimes loose, and with things on his mind, he didn't even believe it was not tiring.Now that he arrived at the place, Pan Mingjie's mind suddenly relaxed, and he felt very tired physically.I also saw my nephew just now, and my happiness overwhelmed the others. When this energy passed, exhaustion invaded my limbs and bones.After taking a hot bath and lying on the soft quilt, Pan Mingjie felt a little angry all over his body. The tip of his nose was filled with the smell of sunshine, and he slowly fell asleep with him.

Ji Xuanhe soon received the news that his in-laws uncle came to visit him and Shao Yunchen in person. Seeing that the county government had nothing urgent to deal with, he left the government office ahead of schedule.When he got home, Pan Mingjie was still asleep.

"Yunchen, what delicious food are you preparing for tonight?" Ji Xuanhe thought that he would have a good night when guests came, especially relatives who were rarely seen.This is not to say that they don't eat well, but that there are few masters in the Ji family, and there are only three of them in total, Mr. Zhen. Based on the principle of not wasting food, there are only a few dishes.Now that the guests come down, they will welcome them by sweeping the couch, and entertain them with great hospitality. The dishes must be much richer than before.

"Uncle has stayed in Kangping County for a long time. Seafood is a rare thing in Xilin County. To Uncle, it is just some common objects. On the contrary, there are few wild animals here, so I asked Mommy to cook more. Local specialty food." Shao Yunchen said unhurriedly.Every region has its own advantages, and there is nothing wrong with serving guests with local specialties.

Ji Xuanhe also understood this truth, and had no objection to Shao Yunchen's arrangement.Last time my second uncle sent someone over, even though he didn't bring much, there were quite a lot in total.Uncle Pan also brought some this time, it would not be nice to entertain him with the scarce seafood in Xilin County.

Night fell quietly, and the dinner was almost finished. Shao Yunchen saw that it was getting late, and the dishes would lose their taste if they didn't serve dinner, so he sent someone to invite his uncle to the hall for dinner.

Pan Mingjie was sleeping comfortably, when he was woken up by Qinglan halfway, he was about to scold him a few times, but then he realized that he was at his nephew's house, and he refreshed himself by applying cold water to his face.

When he first arrived, Pan Mingjie focused on his nephew, only glanced at him briefly, and didn't care about the arrangement of Ji's family.Seeing that everything was fine with Shao Yunchen, he thought about looking at the furnishings of Jifu.The light was dim, and the feng shui wind lamp could only illuminate a small circle. Pan Mingjie's light was not very bright, and as far as he could see, it was quite elegant, not to mention resplendent.

Hearing the report, Ji Xuan and Tong Shao Yunchen took the initiative to meet at the entrance of the hall.

When Ji Xuanhe left Kangping County to take up his post, although he had grown in stature, he was still immature. He hadn't seen him for a few years, but now he is an imposing adult. Compared with his own son, his bearing is even better.Pan Mingjie was secretly startled, it's really a person who can't be judged by his appearance, and the sea can't be measured, and it's been a long time since we saw him. That person who does what he wants has actually brought official authority, and he is still the kind who doesn't have the pressure of superior officials and doesn't need to be cautious.

Thinking of this, Pan Mingjie couldn't help but worry about his nephew, and his eyes naturally shifted to Shao Yunchen who was standing on Ji Xuanhe's right.The two are of the same height, they are both tall, and Ji Xuanhe is a little taller, both are handsome people, so looking at it this way, they are a good match.It's just that my nephew is a man after all. As the saying goes, there are three ways to be unfilial and have no offspring. If Ji Xuanhe can't resist the temptation and wants to take a concubine, this matter will be difficult.But fortunately, at least so far, my nephew has not given birth to such thoughts, and I still want my nephew to pay more attention to it in the future. It is best to prevent this kind of thing from happening, and it will be difficult to recover when it happens.

Pan Mingjie looked at Ji Xuanhe calmly, and at the invitation of his nephew and husband, he naturally took the first seat.

Compared with Kangping County, Xilin County's supplies are poorer. The advantage is that most of them are special game, which is rare in other places, but it does not lose the way of hospitality.Between pushing cups and changing cups, a lot of wine and dishes went down.It's not easy for close relatives to meet each other, and the few people talked happily. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the banquet was dispersed.

It was not easy for Pan Mingjie to come to Xilin County. In the next few days, Shao Yunchen accompanied him and visited all the famous places in Xilin County.Ji Xuanhe also took advantage of Xiumu's day to accompany him.

Xilin County is very windy and sandy, and it is not easy to go out on windy days, so you can only wander around in Xilin County. When it comes to sunny days, Shao Yunchen naturally can't waste it, and he will take his uncle to enjoy the surrounding scenery.

The happy time always flies by, Pan Mingjie has been here for a long time, and it will soon be time to say goodbye.

"Uncle, have a nice journey."

"Go back, see you tomorrow." Pan Mingjie swept past Ji Xuan and his husband again, boarded the carriage and galloped away.

After the dust brought by Pan Mingjie and his party cleared away, Ji Xuan and Shao Yunchen returned to Ji's mansion.Pan Mingjie didn't just come to visit his nephew, but also brought him some money.More importantly, Pan Mingjie's arrival allowed Ji Xuan and his husband to learn a lot about the situation in Kangping County and the capital.

The second uncle Wen Zhuocheng's letter contained limited information, and the people who sent it didn't know much about it. The eldest uncle Pan Mingjie just made up for this gap. As the county magistrate, Pan Hongli has his own channels for getting information. Pan Mingjie said everything he could say up.

It seems that the situation is not optimistic. It is estimated that after Emperor Wenchang gathers power, he will start to do it.Naturally, the other forces will not sit still, and they must make moves in secret.Ji Xuanhe didn't know what King An planned, he was just a small county magistrate, so he didn't need to worry about it.

Spring plowing is in full swing, and now it has come to an end.Food is the most important thing for the people, it has always been like this before, and now it is even more important.Gansu and other places are still communicating with each other, but the large grain transactions are gone, and only sporadic small transactions are going on.

Generally speaking, Gansu still needs food support from other places. If there is no food supply from other places, it is tantamount to choking Gansu's throat. Without food, it is impossible to fight, and even the life of the people in the city cannot be guaranteed.If this matter cannot be resolved, Gansu will collapse from within without the attack of Emperor Wenchang.

Ji Xuanhe wasn't very worried about this, Wang An wouldn't be so stupid, he didn't even think of these things.Since he dared to act like this, there must be no shortage of food reserves.It's just that this is just a drop in the bucket after all, and you have to start within a few years if you want to get things done.The longer the time dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for princes like them.

After King An took full control of Gansu, the taxation has remained the same without any increase. The transition of the regime was very smooth, and many people did not notice the changes at all.That's good, at least the people's hearts are stable, and they won't collapse from within.

The same is true in Xilin County. Apart from being more economical, the people have not found any other problems, and everything is as usual.The prairie tribe soldiers who slipped through the net were basically wiped out, and the people had less scruples about going up the mountain, and human activities on the mountain side became more and more frequent.

The scale of Yunji weaving workshop gradually expanded, and some servants of the Ji family from Kangping County were arranged to work in the weaving workshop.There is nothing to say about spinning. The new spinning machine only improves the efficiency. The operation is no different from the previous spinning machine. The spinners can start working immediately when they come.The structure of the new loom is different from that of the past, and it needs to be specially taught by the master before it can be used flexibly.

Fortunately, the weavers in Yunji Weaving Workshop are all experienced weaving workers, and they can get started after a few days of teaching.If you want to weave well, you can only spend more time. After you get started, the weaving efficiency is not as high as before.This is a necessary process. After the weavers are familiar with it, the weaving speed should be a little faster than before.

The initial pattern is just a simple striped pattern, which is different from the popular patterns on the market, simple and generous.Ji's family does not have a cloth dyeing workshop, and Ji Xuanhe has no plans to open a cloth dyeing workshop. Yunji Weaving Workshop directly uses all kinds of colored cotton and linen threads, and the finished fabrics can be used directly after weaving.
