Knowing that he was returning home, the kitchen began to work. Ji Cheng was naturally happy to see his most worry-free son. He also specially bought a jug of good wine, intending to drink it with his son's light.

But as soon as the good wine was put on the table, the eunuch in the palace sent an urgent memorial. Ji Chenhui frowned immediately when he saw the memorial, and Ji Cheng said dissatisfiedly: "Look at what I said, what do you have to be an emperor?" Okay, worrying about things all day long, I can't even eat a meal."

Lin You was on the side, comforting: "Brother Cheng, someone has to take care of things, so you should drink less today."

With Fu Lang's approval, Master Ji's face obviously looked much better, and he said, "Why is it so urgent?"

"It's a good thing from Beidi." Ji Chenhui poured a glass of wine for his father and said, "Hulantu just left Beijing and took a large number of relatives with him. There is something wrong with Beidi."

Ji Zheng was very sensitive to the word "Bei Di", he raised his head and listened carefully to every word about Beijiang.But Ji Chenhui obviously didn't want to talk more formally at the dinner table, so he didn't mention it after a few words.

Only Xu You'an, who was separated by a wall, pestered Ji Chang all day long, and he became stupid when the Imperial College started school, he was the brother whose wife had run away.

Three identical gifts were prepared for the meeting at home, and Xu Youan, who was accompanied by a beautiful woman, naturally had a happy face, and he said, "Regularly, the Chinese New Year will be soon after the apprenticeship."

"After the Chinese New Year, spring will begin soon, and you will get married in April when spring begins," Tang Hao cut off the conversation.Listening to him nagging all day these days, my ears are almost calloused.

Xu Youan scratched his head in embarrassment, and he said: "Which man in the world does not look forward to the big and small entrance exams, I naturally don't have the talent and learning of Brother Tang, and there must be no hope for the number one scholar, so I am happy if the young ones can't pass the exam. "

"It's still half a year before we get married, it's too early for you to be happy," Tang Hao said sourly.

"You're still talking about me, since the last time I had a face-to-face meeting with the daughter of the Prime Minister's family," Xu You'an said teasingly, "Look at you who pass on the letter all day long, and you really pretend that others don't know."

The two of them were bickering happily, but Ji Zhengze was meditating on the sidelines. Since Ah Ying left, both of them have almost become accustomed to his normal state of being in a daze.

But he was never foolish. Ji Zhengze could startle their jaws when he opened his mouth. He said firmly and slowly: "You'an, Tang Hao, I don't plan to go to the Imperial College. I'm going to northern Xinjiang."

Xu You'an was stunned for a long time before he realized it, and asked in disbelief, "Ah Zheng, you are so stupid. Enrolling in the Imperial College is related to your future, so you can't take it lightly as a joke."

Although Ji Zhengze seemed to be a different person after Ah Ying left, he was not a person who joked easily even in the past. Both of them knew it well. Go to northern Xinjiang.

"Regular, are you going to find Aying?" Tang Hao said: "I understand that you and your husband have a deep relationship, but you have no official position, and you have no martial arts skills. Although the war in northern Xinjiang has temporarily subsided, look at us all the way from Yuzhou The refugees I saw all escaped from northern Xinjiang."

Tang Hao said: "With all due respect, before Ah Ying has no whereabouts and clues, such a decision of yours is not advisable."

"I understand what you said," Ji Zheng said.As soon as Aying left for more than a month, he didn't even show up in the capital when his father was buried and killed his father and enemy. Ji Zhengze was so foolish that the only place he could go was northern Xinjiang. He firmly said: "I have a hunch that he will where."

Just waiting for him there, just waiting there for me to lead him home.

Ji Cheng and his wife naturally intervened in such a daring act of his, they would not stop him from going to northern Xinjiang to find a wife, but the child had to stay, and Ji Zheng was steadfast in this matter, making people afraid.

His son must be by his side. Ji Cheng and his wife made his wayward head hurt, and it didn't make any sense. In the end, the emperor Ji Chenhui stepped forward and sent him fifty guards, and gave him a distance. In Qingshan County, which is separated by a mountain in northern Xinjiang, the post of Bapin County Prime Minister.

Only then did Ji Cheng and his wife feel relieved and willing to give in, and Xiao Tuanzi followed to northern Xinjiang. Before leaving, Ji Cheng told the guards: "No matter what happens, Xiao Tuanzi must be protected, and the older one should not let him die. , all by himself.”

It would take six days for Beijing to be away from the North Xinjiang Kuaima, not to mention bringing a child with him, stopping and stopping along the way, although there were casual doctors and nurses, Xiaotuanzi also had a high fever.

It took nearly 20 days of stop and go before we arrived near Qingshan County. The closer we got to northern Xinjiang, the fewer people there were. Large tracts of fertile land were overgrown with grass. Obviously, these lands started to fall into disrepair last year.

Ji Zhengze even rescued a brother whose parents died of starvation and who was about to be dragged away by malicious people on the way. The brother's home was in a village not far from the Beijiang military camp.

That area suffered from war last year, and there was no one there for a long time. The little brother named Luoer's family was also near Qingshan County. They begged for food for a year. In the end, they really couldn't survive, so they left their hometown with the fleeing army. go out.

Ji Zheng saw that the child was only fifteen or sixteen, and he was asked to serve the dumplings with his mother when he was homeless.

The city towers in Qingshan County were dilapidated, and waste and weeds were flying around in the streets of the county seat. There was not a single person on the road for half a day, and the entire county town looked dilapidated.

The original county magistrate also ran away with his family before the war, and his head was beheaded at the beginning of the year. Several county magistrates who came here before were transferred away because they couldn't bear the hardships here.

Ji Zhengze was originally a Juren, and he was given to the eight-rank county magistrate because Qingshan County was really unmanaged, but there was no county magistrate on his head, and the entire Qingshan County was considered to be his own. .

There was not even a gatekeeper in the county government office. When I walked to a corner of the county government hall, I saw a few servants who were sleeping staggeringly. Those who come will be dealt with as dismissal."

After speaking, he went straight to the backyard of the yamen. The county magistrate was not there, so the house in the backyard would naturally belong to him, which just saved the effort of finding a house.

Tired all the way, Xiaotuanzi saw that she had lost a few laps, and the casual nanny was brought over from Yuzhou. She kept muttering, "That's the little boy, with a strong body, and ordinary children would have been crying all day long." .”

Ji Zhengze naturally felt sorry for his son, he was not foolish enough to leave the child in the capital.But only when he sees the child can he be comforted and make himself not so stupid, Ah Ying.

The guards and the servants who followed started to clean the yard, while Ji Zheng looked at the gray sky, Yu: Ah Ying, are you right here.

The climate in northern Xinjiang is harsh, and winter is especially cold. Although the kang has become popular, the house is still unbearably cold. Ji Zheng holds the hand stove and feels every trace of air here. It turns out that Ah Ying grew up here.

No one cared where the dozen or so servants were standing with sluggish expressions, but they were all there, but they didn't stand or sit or sit, they looked like hooligans.

"My name is Ji Zheng, and I am the county seat bestowed by the Holy Spirit." Ji Zheng was sitting in the upper seat, and said expressionlessly: "Before the turmoil in northern Xinjiang, there were many changes in the county government of Qingshan County, but..." He paused He continued: "That was all in the past. I have been here for a three-year term. During these three years, I will go to everyone and try my best to handle the errands. From tomorrow onwards, I will be rewarded with ten boards for being late, and I will be dismissed for being late three times. .”

Some unconvinced guards waited for Yanzhuyu to talk back, but were frightened back by the guards beside Ji Zhengze.

The new county magistrate has a fair skin and looks like a scholar, but who knows that what he said is so blunt. Several people are beating drums in their hearts, each looking forward to this tall and thin young man, who can't stand the bitter cold in northern Xinjiang go now.

"The three of you bring all the files in the county and sort them over," Ji Zhengze said: "The two of you go to the townships to have all the Lizhengs come to the county government office tomorrow morning."

Of the thirteen townships under the administration of Qingshan County, only nine Lizheng came, and one of the remaining three died, and a new one has not yet been elected.In the other two townships, Lizheng fled with his family.

After Ji Zheng had a rough understanding of the remaining population, land, cattle, farm tools and grains in the lower townships, he distributed three catties of white flour to each of these Li Zhengs and let them go home.

There is no shortage of cultivated land in Qingshan County. Although it is a year-round output, the local area is not an important place for commercial and political circulation, and there are basically no local tyrants and evil gentry.

The biggest problem now is the loss of population. Farm households have no food to eat, and ordinary people cannot survive.If you want to keep people, you have to give them the hope of living.

Northern Xinjiang is located at the junction of the two countries, which is remote and close to Beidi. A stable and safe living environment is the foundation for ordinary people to live.

For this reason, Zhengzheng specially sent guards, and handed a letter of repair to the resident guard in Xiuyuan County not far from them. I want to know whether this year's Beidi is short of food, and whether it will break through Xiuyuan County and go to Bailaoguan Nearby to loot.

On the same day, the guards brought over the reply letter from the general of Xiuyuan County, which stated that because the Beidi Mission is still in the capital, today's stability depends on the outcome of the peace talks.

Regarding this statement, Ji Zhengzheng knew that during the peace talks between the two countries, there would be no resurgence of weapons, but Hulantu suddenly left the customs and returned to Beidi, so there was no guarantee that there would be no more situations.

But how can the peace talks between the two countries be decided by them? Beidi holds the king and abolished Emperor Liang Chan in his hand, so he will restrain Dazhao no matter what.These things are not what they can predict and have the final say on.

Seeing that the generals in Xiuyuan County were quite talkative, he wrote another letter, describing Ah Ying's physical characteristics, and asked him to help pay attention.

The letter did not mention Ah Ying's real identity, but only said that he was the younger brother of the family, with a scar on the arch of his eyebrow, tall, short, fat, and thin.
