Nan Xing knew about the recent changes in the palace, but there was still no news about Zhang Gui.This has made her a little anxious in the past few days. Even the latest harvest report shows that the grain harvest has tripled compared with last year, which has not eased her bad mood.

The counselors more or less noticed something, and on a holiday, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai invited everyone to hold a banquet --- after a year of high-intensity work, they finally calmed down slowly, which is worth celebrating .

"In short, these are the original words of Feng Xiao and Zhicai. I personally think that you really need to rest." Xun Yu put this week's documents on the table, and made a friend's suggestion to Nan Xing.The grain harvest was bumper, the county's finances were in surplus, and the people's lives were improved.He now thinks of what he saw during his study tour a year ago like a nightmare, and all of this is due to the person in front of him who has just won the crown.Xun Yu sincerely hoped that Nan Xing could take a break. She always urged everyone to combine work and rest, but she never relaxed.

However, based on his understanding of the two, it is estimated that they have another purpose.Xun Yu looked at the black and blue under Nan Xing's eyes, and decided to ignore the possible troubles the two of them might have, and supported Nan Xing to attend the banquet, even if he got drunk and slept!

Isn't it bad for the health of the sheriff to be a director like this?Wen Ruo thought of Zhang Zhongjing's words with worry.

Nan Xing thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.By the way, let's talk about recruiting Liu Yu!she pondered.Nan Xing has not forgotten that Liu Yu will be killed by Gongsun Zan in the next few years.If he could come to Yinping earlier, there would be someone who could help him deal with foreign relations with the barbarians.

In short, everyone's impure banquet was held at the Sheriff's Mansion on a holiday.Thanks to Nan Xing's improved cooking methods, tools and new seasonings, the food at this banquet was exceptionally rich.

In the early days, Nanxing taught craftsmen to make iron pots. Thanks to the small blast furnaces for indigenous steelmaking and the newly discovered iron mines in the territory, the iron and steel factories under Nanxing's rule produced a lot of output.More importantly, Nanxing sells to the common people at a price far below the market, and the sales of all iron products are excellent.That is to say, when ordinary tenants are thinking about slack, they will go to the various construction sites or factories of the engineering department to work for a longer time, and save money to buy a new hoe or a new pot.

With small profits but quick turnover, Nan Xing actually made a lot of money, and the income even shocked the gentry from big families like Xun Yu and Xun You.And these incomes will be invested in social infrastructure after saving a part.People have channels to earn money, so they naturally have money and are naturally willing to spend.With such a virtuous circle, Nan Xing believes that it won't be long before a small county in Yinping will be rich enough to rival a country.

As for now, of course, this is reflected in the rapid popularity of iron pots.Ever since the public knew that beans can be used not only for grinding soymilk and ordering tofu but also for pressing oil, long queues have formed in front of various water mills.The desire for oil is carved into the DNA of human beings. Even when seeing the golden liquid for the first time, the human brain is clamoring "take it quickly, it is nutritious and can make you live for a few more days." This kind of The situation is reflected in modern people's love for fried food, but in the eyes of ancient people who lacked various nutrients, cheap and easy-to-intake soybean oil was even more attractive to them than XX.

The iron pot is an innovation of kitchen utensils, as long as a small amount of firewood can be used to cook food with oil.Nan Xing had considered the innovation of cooking methods when she was teaching craftsmen to make iron pots. She has always been a person who thinks ten steps in one step, and it is impossible for craftsmen to make iron pots for her own appetite for no reason.In order to improve the health of the people, to promote the consumption of soybean oil without tax exemption, and to expand the scope of use of water mills, to alleviate the public's dissatisfaction with the large-scale construction of various buildings this year, etc. Miscellaneous, Nan Xing promoted the new tool.

Nan Xing sat at the main seat, looked at all kinds of delicious fried or stir-fried dishes in front of him, and nodded in satisfaction.It seems that the income from spices will also increase in the near future!While eating the vegetables, he also showed a bewildered smile, eat more vegetables!Not only can food consumption be reduced, but various incomes can also be increased.

Jia Xu noticed Nan Xing's expression, and said to Zhang Zhongjing who was sitting next to him, "Si Nong, have you had a physical examination for Nan Junshou recently? Is it because you are under too much pressure?"

The nervous look made Zhang Zhongjing keep looking suspiciously at Nan Xing on the main seat.

Finally, the dancers performed a few shows, and everyone drank three rounds.Nan Xing waved back the dancers who were winking at the young talents in the hall, intending to mention Liu Yu's arrival in the northwest.

Unexpectedly, Guo Jia moved to the side of the main seat first, and said, "Zhihuai, I see the bright moon. You must take a look!" He drank a sip of wine while talking, and he hadn't touched it for more than a month. Too much alcohol.With the banquet, we must drink more.

Then he dragged Nan Xing out drunkenly, Xi Zhicai waved his hands to let the dancers and musicians who hadn't finished returning come back --- I just saw a dancer I liked, and I haven't seen enough!

On the side of the corridor, Nan Xing leaned against the pillar without any image, staring at someone who was staggering, and had no intention of helping him.She didn't think that this little wine could make Guo Jia drunk like this.

The moonlight passed through the eaves and sprinkled on Nan Xing's face.She looked sideways at the chrysanthemums in the garden, her originally tougher face softened.Guo Jia opened his drunken eyes, and thought in a daze, "Ah, so Zhihuai is also a beauty!" Compared with ordinary beauties, Nan Xing has a kind of perennial battle and the fierceness of a high-ranking person, which makes it difficult Immediately thought she was a woman.But once she knew her gender, she would feel that this kind of sharpness would also be a unique beauty.

A gust of wind blew by, and Guo Jia shivered.The evening wind in early autumn had already cooled down, blowing away the charm in his mind, and also made him wake up most of the wine, remembering his purpose.

"...So, you think the false father was injured?" Nan Xing frowned after listening to Guo Jia's speculation.In fact, what he said made sense. Empress He was punished for angering the emperor by killing the beauty of the king. The eunuchs pleaded for her, and Zhang Gui was naturally among them.Whether he likes it or not, his love is determined.

Although the emperor spared the queen for the sake of the ten servants, the death of Wang Meiren will definitely become a thorn in the emperor's heart.As the son of Wang Meiren, Liu Xie was raised in the palace of Empress Dowager Dong, and he often saw the emperor inside. After a long time, no one could guarantee that the emperor would think of those eunuchs who prevented him from avenging his youngest son's mother.Of course, he will not go back and forth to punish the queen, he will only vent his anger on the eunuchs.

Zhang Gui had been ups and downs in the palace all his life, and he probably thought of a way out when he persuaded the emperor to let the queen go.There is a high probability that during the process of persuasion, he was deliberately injured by the angry emperor or was injured in front of him, and then he pleaded for mercy and asked for leave.Of course the injury was real, and it had to be serious, so as to ensure that the emperor would not ask him to settle the case in the future.

"Now there must be a lot of people in Luoyang City staring at your house!" Guo Jia also leaned on the colonnade, and finally concluded, "I'm afraid your fake father stopped writing to avoid suspicion, so don't worry about it." good."

Nan Xing listened to him in silence, but didn't respond.Guo Jia looked at her, but he didn't see her relax, nor did she answer. He suspected that he hadn't comforted her enough, so he tried to comfort her again.

Finally, when he had nothing to say, Nan Xing suddenly laughed.

"Pfft ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha"

"Huh?" Guo Jia looked at Nan Xing, did he have any illness?Why did it suddenly happen.

Nan Xing hadn't laughed so heartily for a long time, and finally wiped away tears after laughing enough and said, "I said, why do you guys want to have a party all of a sudden. So, are you worried about me?" Then she turned her head to look at Looking inside the hall, he added, "They are too!"

Then he said seriously, "Sorry, I made you worry."

Guo Jia looked at Nan Xing who had returned to normal, and touched his face in embarrassment, "It's Zhicai's idea, it has nothing to do with me."

It's night, singing and dancing are peaceful, Nan Xing rarely gets drunk.

As expected, Zhang Gui thanked the guests behind closed doors in the name of being injured.Nan Xing thought that his adoptive father and mother were taking care of their health, and sent a doctor from Yinping County with medicinal materials, and sent a team of "music hall" guys back to Luoyang.So, her intelligence organization returned to Luoyang City in an open and honest manner.

Soon, Zhang Gui wrote to explain everything.The two resumed communication.

When Nan Xing ordered people to treat Zhang Gui, he "by the way" collected information from various forces.When the grain harvests in various places were poor and officials ran rampant in the countryside, Yinping under Nanxing's rule had already shown a state of prosperity.Relying on "Knowledge" and "Yue Guan", Nan Xing subtly conveys his reputation and values ​​to the world.In the past few years, Xun Yu went back and forth between Yingchuan and Yinping many times, and moved most of the family to Zitong.Also through his introduction, Nan Xing got to know many descendants of aristocratic families.

In 184 A.D., the fourth year of Emperor Zhongping of the Han Dynasty, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out.
