I walk the career line in dog blood

On the day when he officially left office, taking advantage of the dark moon and high wind, An Yinong secretly packed up the package and wrapped himself in a thick coat. He arranged for an inconspicuous carriage early and parked it in the backyard of someone else's house, and then he Just climb the top of the wall, ready to go so quietly.

However, when he looked left and right for no one, and carefully climbed over the wall for a moment...

"Master Zhixian! Lord Zhixian is here!"

The old lady yelled, and within a few seconds, more than a dozen people rushed over, and the number was increasing, all of them holding torches, pushing An Yinong to the top of the wall, in a dilemma.

I was slack, I didn't expect an old lady to guard the door.

Gu Zhengzhong was also standing on top of the wall, covering his face with a fan, without any intention of rescue.An Yinong laughed awkwardly: "It's so late, everyone is still up?"

"I knew that our adults would definitely want to sneak away without telling us."

"My lord! It's fine if you don't let us have a banquet, how can you sneak away?" An old man was heartbroken.

"That's right, my lord, you said you have been here for three years, how can you leave empty-handed? If you leave empty-handed, where will our Dingsha County face be? Others think that our Dingsha County can't even produce a decent specialty."

"That's right, you're at least leading the way."

"If you can't, just lead the sheep."

"Fellow villagers, don't be too polite, I have a salary." An Yinong quickly refused. Those who didn't know this man who was leading the cattle and sheep thought he was a bully who robbed the herdsmen.

"Then take some meat and go, look at your body, you look like a little chick, you have to eat meat and drink milk." The old lady in the crowd shouted.

They had selective amnesia, and they all forgot the record of their own county magistrates in suppressing bandits.

An Yinong's sneaky action was unsuccessful in the end, and was condemned by the general public. They said that if the county magistrate refused to take away the gifts they sent, the magistrate would not even think of leaving the gate of Dingsha County.

At this time, Gu Zhengzhong, who should protect him the most, stood in the crowd laughing, and even the master Wei Menfang and Tian Shouwei held their swords and watched him being surrounded by enthusiastic crowds.

As for the yamen servant... Hey, let's not talk about it, help the tyrant!

In the end, An Yinong had to accept some melons and fruits instead of herds of cattle and sheep.

In addition, there are three umbrellas, densely covered with names.He didn't know what the Wanmin umbrellas in other places were like, but on this umbrella, the handwriting of each name was different, and many of them knew it was the first time they took a pen.

Wei Menfang also said that there are some 'green forest masters' secretly protecting them.These people admired Zhixian as a man, and they wanted to send him to Jiahu safely no matter what.

An Yinong finally persuaded these righteous men to go back.

"Thank you fellow, don't send them away, let's all go back."

People from Dingsha County sent him for three miles, and An Yinong hid in the carriage by himself, and no one was allowed to enter.

He really didn't want to see this scene, he was a tough guy, it didn't look good crying when he left, but he really couldn't help it.

After calming down and applying a 'healing halo' to himself to eliminate all traces, An Yinong opened the curtain and asked solemnly how long it would take to arrive.

Uncle Zhong the coachman, Guard Tian and Gatekeeper Wei also pretended not to see his red eyes just now.

"If you go directly to Kingswood, you will be there in three days."

An Yinong returned to the carriage, and he took out a few books from the box, which were the climate conditions and geographical conditions of several other counties in Xizhou, as well as some intricate maps of local power relations.

There was another person's mark on the booklet, which was something that An Yinong hadn't noticed.

Touching the familiar handwriting with his fingertips, a smile overflowed from the corner of his eyes.

"If you can restrain yourself a little bit, it will be perfect." He supported his sore waist, even the healing halo couldn't heal him, the pain.

Recently, An Yinong didn't dare to flirt with Gu Zhengzhong, because he was afraid.

The carriage drove slowly on the loess road, and there were no street trees or farmland on both sides, only desolate uncultivated land.

The caravan passing by on the road didn't know that this crude team with only two small carriages was the team of the new Zhizhou. They all rushed to the center of Xizhou, hoping to win the quota of the mutual market.

The counties in Xizhou also want to grab the location, and they all hope that the mutual market will be set up at their doorstep, and they are all trying to find someone to make connections.

The more they were like this, the more cautious An Yinong became: the trade market is of great importance, he must find the most suitable location, and he cannot be easily swayed by emotions.

"No one stipulates that I must complete the task of taking office within three days." An Yinong, disguised as a traveling scholar, shook his folding fan lightly.This kind of early autumn weather, and the great Northwest, only the stupid scholars in the Central Plains can shake their fans without any trouble.

He has been a magistrate for three years, and has been blown by wind and sand for three years, but he still looks like a clean scholar, wearing a turban and wearing a green shirt without any sense of disobedience.

"I just want to trouble Uncle Zhong to take the first step, and I will catch up later." The car carried Wanmin umbrella, several cages of rabbits, golden eagles, cats and dogs, and various souvenirs. At first glance, he did not look like a traveling scholar, so he asked The driver, please drive a car first.

He also gave Uncle Zhong a document to prove his identity, and taught him how to place the animals in the car.

An Yinong didn't take away the cows raised in Dingsha County, but he entrusted the caravan to transport them to Jiahu.Jiahu relies on the largest freshwater lake here, which is rich in products, and their pasture grows well, which is very suitable for raising dairy cows.

Dingsha has started to cultivate rubber grass in large quantities, and the price of sealed cans will drop in the future, and some dairy products will be available at that time.

After Uncle Zhong left, there were only three people in one car left in the team. The concierge Wei Gaoshou said that he could temporarily take the post of driver.

"Taking this route, we will pass through Pingqiu, Baisha, Zhanghua, and finally arrive at Kingswood City."

He has a simple map of Xizhou in his hand. The entire Xizhou is in the shape of a long and narrow fried dough stick. Except for Jiahu, other areas have border lines.But which place is the most suitable for setting up a mutual market, he still has to investigate on the spot.

"The mutual market is a node, and we must consider homeland security, transportation convenience, supporting facilities, and the cooperation of local residents, etc."

Safety can be a secondary condition, because Emperor Qi has promised that after the establishment of the exchange market, she will send ten garrison barracks over.

With so many garrisons, so many places are needed, so the best location for the exchange market is a county that can produce a lot of food and has enough land.

As a result, Dingsha County was the first to be eliminated. Dingsha County was originally the poorest place in the entire Western Prefecture, because there was too little land available and food was always in short supply, so An Yinong had to vigorously develop herbal medicine and rubber grass planting.

Second, traffic.

Once the mutual market is built, not to mention the whole country, at least businessmen from the northwest region will come to have a look, so ready-made and convenient transportation is needed.He can't go to repair the road again, when will it be repaired?

Now that cement is available, the cost is high, and it is unrealistic to build roads in large areas.

The 'Pingqiu' with inconvenient transportation is eliminated.

"The only ones left are Baisha and Zhanghua. Baisha is close to Tianze Lake, and Zhanghua has a good transportation system." He couldn't make up his mind for a while, "It seems that we still need to conduct a field investigation."

After making up his mind, An Yinong changed his route and planned to visit all these counties.

His first stop was Pingqiu. Pingqiu County was similar to Dingsha County in terms of land area and population.In a trance, he had the feeling of coming to Dingsha three years ago.

"If this is the case, we can take the route of Dingsha County. The economic animal can be changed to a rex rabbit. It can be used for meat or skin, and it eats grass."

After saying goodbye to Pingqiu, An Yinong came to Baisha.Baisha, like Jiahu, has a piece of land next to Tianze Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Xizhou, known as the land of fish and rice in the northwest.

Therefore, it is obvious that the residents of Baisha are much richer than the residents of other places. They can support themselves by fishing, farming, and raising livestock, and they have no sense of crisis in survival.

But also because of this reason, the proportion of businessmen in Baisha County is not high, and the locals somewhat look down on and reject foreigners.

It is also possible to establish a mutual market in such an environment, but it is still lacking in humanities.An Yinong's gaze turned to Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua's jade mines and merchants were very famous, so he didn't know what surprises or shocks it would bring him.

There are so many merchants in Zhanghua, it can be regarded as a city of commerce, the closer he is to Zhanghua, the more he feels this way.

Caravans can be seen from time to time on the repaired road, with a small number of a dozen people and a large one of more than a hundred people. There are groups of camels and horses in the team.

An Yinong observed for a few days and selected a medium-sized caravan.

There are five NO.60 people in this caravan, riding more than 20 camels and horses. They mainly sell spices, dried fruits, succulents, and furs.An Yinong stopped the car to ask them, and asked in Mandarin if he could go together.

He claimed to go to Zhanghua to find relatives.

An Yinong looked gentle and gentle, his gestures were like everyone's, and he was a Juren (self-proclaimed), and the caravan was willing to take him for a ride.

"Look at the direction you came from, sir, is he from Baisha County?" The bearded businessman invited him to a barbecue.

"You're welcome, shopkeeper." An Yinong took the skewer of barbecued meat, "I'm indeed from Baisha County, but I didn't go to Baisha County first. I went to Dingsha County first, and I went to eat Dingsha Snowflake Beef just because of the name."

"Hey, it's a pity that I didn't eat it, but I did eat the culled Snowflake Beef. The meat is really tender. I don't know how delicious the authentic Snowflake Beef is."

What An Yinong said was true, and there was yearning in his eyes.

"What is Dingsha Snowflake Cattle? What's the difference between the original cattle in Dingsha County and our Zhanghua? It's just because of Tianzhi County, who can turn stones into gold, that the current Snowflake Cattle were produced." The businessman said sourly.

"Since the Dingsha Snowflake Cattle came out, the cattle in Dingsha County are [-]% more expensive than our cattle. Hmph, aren't they the same cattle? The word Jiadingsha County is gold expensive?"

"Yes! There are succulents. Did the heroes of the desert designate the succulents in Dingsha County? What if he came to Zhanghua to find the 'lover grass'? Why is the succulent in Dingsha three cents more expensive?" The young man, presumably the merchant's son, complained as he ate the meat.

"Is that so?" An Yinong slapped his palm lightly with his fan, "What good things does Zhang Hua have? To be honest, I came out to seek relatives, and secondly, to increase my knowledge."

I don't know if I don't come out. It turns out that the businessmen outside have been sour for a long time. The 'culprit', An Yinong, looked ignorant, and together with the businessman Zhang Hua criticized the unreasonable price.

As the saying goes, "As long as you complain about Dingsha with me, we are half-brothers." An Yinong was quickly accepted by Zhang Hua's caravan, and even called him from "treasurer, sir" It became 'Brother Hu, Brother Tian'.

The merchant also took out his fine wine and asked An Yinong to drink it.

He sat on the edge of the car with his legs hanging down naturally, admiring the reed-like plants in the sunset while drinking wine, feeling free and happy.

An Yinong suddenly remembered the "Hometown in Dreams" that he had written.

He took out the ocarina from the carriage and played it. The sound of the ocarina was deep and long, with a little melancholy and longing, and it was as free as the wind. The people in the caravan stopped their movements and looked here.

"What is Brother Tian bragging about?" The businessman stroked his beard, "Even I, a rough man, have been fascinated by it."

"Looking at Hometown." An Yinong said with a smile.

After the businessman left, Gu Zhengzhong appeared next to him, his black sleeves unfolded, and he was gently embraced.

An Yinong leaned in his arms, sniffing the faint fragrance, and closed his eyes: "It's great now, I have a cat, a dog, and a golden eagle. And you... I want Everything is there."

"There will be more in the future." Gu Zhengzhong promised in a low voice.

The sun hung like a huge egg yolk in the western sky.

The businessman's team was cooking dinner, and they also gave An Yinong a copy. He took it, glanced at the soup bowl inadvertently, and found a special vegetable.

"Is this beet?" He pointed to the red plant block inside. Looking at the texture, it was clearly a beet that could be used for sugar production.

"Beet? No, it's kohlrabi," said the soup man.

An Yinong's heart was pounding. Beets are also called kohlrabi in some places. Its roots look a bit like water radishes, fat and thick.

Sucrose was a commodity he wanted to deal with a long time ago, with high profits and high consumption.However, there is no sugar cane in the northwest, and sugar cane cannot be grown. All his hopes can only be placed on sugar beets.

However, he hadn't eaten beets in Dingsha County for three years, and he always thought that this food hadn't been introduced yet.

"Brother Hu, is this kind of kohlrabi a special dish in Xizhou?" He came to the businessman with a soup bowl.

"Oh, it's the red head. That's not it. It was brought by merchants from the northwest two years ago. Because it tastes good and is easy to grow, we planted some here."

"No wonder, I haven't eaten this kind of dish in Dingsha before."

"That's right!" As soon as the word Dingsha was mentioned, the businessman overreacted, "Dingsha County is just lucky, waiting for a good county magistrate, in terms of its products, how can it compare with our Zhanghua?"

An Yinong just listened with a smile.It seems that the rise of Dingsha County has brought a lot of pressure to the surrounding counties.

Following the caravan, they arrived in Zhanghua County the next day.

Zhanghua County looks much better than Dingsha County three years ago, and the gates are more grand.However, the soldiers at its gate were lazy and looked very listless.

An Yinong took a few more glances: "Brother Hu, why are the soldiers guarding the city yawning?"

"It's a gamble."

After being introduced by the businessman, An Yinong knew that this Zhang Hua also had a big family of local snakes, the kind that could pull out thousands of powerful thugs with just one call.

"Shen Chengnan, Zhao Chengbei. The Shen family mainly deals in horses and spices, and they have close contacts with foreigners. The Zhao family was originally a military general, and they ran casinos and brothels by themselves. His family has a 'Xiaoyao Pavilion', which earns a lot of money every day."

"Forget about horses and spices. Casinos and brothels require special government permits. In most places, you can't even get one. Where did he get so many permits?" An Yinong was curious. It is completely banned like modern times, and it is also strictly controlled. How can it bloom in all directions here?

"If there is a certificate or not, who will investigate? The county magistrate dare not. Not everyone is the magistrate of Dingsha County, and the knife holder does not move an eyebrow."

The businessman looked around and reminded: "Brother Tian, ​​you must be careful not to cause trouble on the Zhao family's territory, otherwise, there may be good or bad."

"It turned out to be like this? Fortunately, brother Hu reminded me, otherwise I would have gone in without knowing anything." An Yinong said gratefully.

The businessman was embarrassed by the words: "My brother, you are being polite. Brother Tian is a dignified judge, but they still dare not do anything to Master Juren."

The two were talking while waiting to enter the city, when suddenly there was the sound of "dedede" horseshoes.

"All give way."

The people who were waiting to enter the city subconsciously separated to the two sides, and the line immediately became chaotic. An Yinong was pushed by someone and almost fell down.

"Woo--" A black horse stopped in front of him, An Yinong looked up, only to see a tall and thin young man against the light, and then a bent whip was tapped on his chin, looking at him, his eyes widened Without blinking.

"Hey, which handsome young gentleman is this? Why do you want to go to the city? Do you want to visit my house?"

The author has something to say:

Gu Zhengzhong: My family.
