Mr. Xing Cao recorded the key points of the request for instructions on several pieces of wooden tablets, carried it in his luggage, held the talisman, and returned to Anyi. Before leaving, he specifically asked that the gift from the Prince of Chu must not be used lightly, for fear of being accused of being a thief.

He had an affair with the princes. It was recommended to report it to the superior. Therefore, Zheng Anping agreed to add one more item to the report: "Why should the Chu people pay for the betrothal gift?"

After sending off the criminals, Mang Wei and Chen Si bought some more daily necessities, such as tripods, stoves, bowls, and the like. They dried mats, quilts, pillows and other items again to dry and beat them until they were soft, and the official uniforms were washed again.

Only a few days later, the woman sent a dowry, which was a complete set of four-season clothing, as well as mats, quilts, pillows and other bedding. The two parties agreed on a date to get married. Since they were from the same hometown, they agreed to get married on the same day.

Zheng Anping then sent out invitations to his colleagues and asked two of them to borrow two cars to drive.

Two days before the wedding, both the village and local husbands held a banquet in the village to entertain all the villagers. On the day of the wedding, Zheng Anping held a banquet in the inner square to entertain all the villagers. In the evening, Chen Sihe

Mang Wei each drove a car, went out from the inner end, entered from the inner end, and picked up the bride at the bride's house; then went out from the inner end, entered from the inner end, and returned to his own house. The originally short journey had to be detoured like this.

The villagers first went to Liwei to greet the man as the girl's village, and then went to Litou to welcome the girl as the boy's village. Chen Si and Mang Wei's parents were not in Xianyang. Although Mang Wei had a younger brother in Xianyang, he could not show his face, and he could not even show his face.

He did not dare to invite people to the wedding banquet for fear of exposing his flaws. Zheng Anping asked the two male officials and his wife who borrowed the car to bless the newlyweds on behalf of the groom's parents.

Before going to court the next day, the two newlyweds came to Zheng Anping's house and presented the soup made by the bride herself. Zheng Anping bowed respectfully and drank the soup; although it was homely, it had a special warmth. Zheng Anping

Anping thought about his marriage back then. Although it was extremely luxurious, it lacked warmth, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

After the court, a group of colleagues gathered in Zheng Anping's house. The two newlyweds, five personal guards and Wu Wang, had already set fire to prepare meals and banquets. The courtyard was full of wine and meat, singing and socializing, and the liveliness was different from that in the countryside.

After the busy and warm wedding, the countryside returned to peace. The people who went to Anyi to ask for instructions and reports came back. The person who came back was not the original criminal officer, but the staff Zhang Lu recruited in Jie County, everyone called him Jie Yan.

Mr. Xie Yan, although he came back on Zhang Lu's order, did not use a post boat, but came back by hired boat on the Weishui River. The reason for this was that he brought back a boat of salt, about ten stones, and found that

Zheng Anping was asked to borrow a car to pull him.

Several people struggled to pull Yan back. Zheng Anping asked Mr. Xie Yan to take a seat in the hall. Chen Si and Mang Wei came to accompany him and listen to Zhang Lu's instructions.

Mr. Xie Yan said: "Xing Cao was summoned by Pi Wei, so he ordered the common people to return to the prime minister's order."

Zheng Anping saluted in the seat and said: "I sincerely accept my teaching!"

Mr. Xie Yan took out the wooden slip and said: "As for the gift from the King of Qin, Zheng Chengyi should handle it and take care of it. There is no need to report it again."

Zheng Anping said: "Here!"

Mr. Xie Yan said: "Brother Chen, I am not happy that I have found a good wife, but I have nothing to offer as a gift. I have two brothers in my house who like her, so I am very lucky to have her!"

Chen Si and Mang Wei both bowed down from their seats and said, "How dare you!"

Mr. Xie Yan said: "When An Guojun was granted the title, he would like to follow the opinions of the public and follow the etiquette, neither increasing nor decreasing."

Zheng Anping said: "Here!"

Mr. Xie Yan said: "The Qin State's military strategy cannot be discussed. If we consult with Hedong, we can fight!"

Zheng Anping was startled and said: "Can we fight? How can we afford the troops and food?"

Mr. Xie Yan said: "This is why I reported it to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister asked about the transportation of salt. The salt cannot be transported outside, but the price of rock salt is two stones of millet. It can be transported to Anyi."

Zheng Anping asked: "What do you mean?"

Mr. Xie Yan said: "Hedong has little grain but is rich in salt, and the princes have a lot of grain but are short of salt. Therefore, I will have more than enough, and I will not have enough. I can exchange one stone of salt for two stones of millet, and order each merchant to transport the grain themselves.

Salt comes from far away; the price is cheap and it wins the hearts of the people. In this way, Anyi can get 200,000 stones of millet without any effort for 100,000 stones of rock salt, which is equivalent to the cost of 100,000 people in one month."

Zheng Anping put his palms together and praised: "This great talent must be what Mr. Ye did!"

Mr. Xie Yan said: "How dare you covet the merits of heaven? This is what my lord proposed, and a humble man can get it by chance!" He said with a complacent tone.

The three people all praised the wonderful method and complimented Mr. Jie Yan one after another. Mr. Jie Yan said: "A humble man would not dare to accept the praise of a great official. In the world of business, it is normal to have more talents and make up for the deficiencies. Anyi is rich in wealth.

Salt, salt, is what the people rely on. How can you get anything left without salt? It is not worth mentioning. However, the Prime Minister should spread this matter to everyone and make it known to the whole world, so that it can be used.

If I join the doctor's office with rock salt, I would like to receive the doctor's thirty stones of millet for food and lodging. The doctor agrees to it!"

Zheng Anping said: "Sir, I have been ordered to abide by it and carry it out in Xianyang. I have to pay for my food and accommodation. How dare I get your salt from you!"

Mr. Xie Yan said: "When I came to Xianyang as a humble commoner, I not only had a mission, but also had little business to do. So I didn't dare to work in the post house, so I hired my own boat and stayed under the eaves of the doctor. The doctor is still a little bit handsome."

These words made Zheng Anping feel sudden, but after pondering for a moment, he still said: "Sir, please do it yourself!"

Later, Mr. Xie Yan told Zhang Lu's analysis and instructions on other events one by one, until he finished all the questions Zheng Anping asked for instructions. Zheng Anping responded one by one: "Here!"

After dinner, Zheng Anping asked Mr. Jie Yan to rest in the wing room. When Xing Cao was in charge, he also lived there. He lived in the back house. In the wing room were Wu Wang and five personal guards.

After being busy with the wedding for many days, and then watching Chen Si and Mang Wei get together, Zheng Anping couldn't help but feel a little lonely: He was the only one in Ruoda's back house, if there was another woman... He quickly gave up the idea

. He knows that when a man has multiple women, there is a chilling atmosphere in the family, especially when they all have sons of their own, and this man has very little family property!

Xianyang Palace finally informed him that the Prime Minister's Office summoned Zheng Anping.

Zheng Anping took Chen Si and Mang Wei into the Prime Minister's Mansion. The person who received him was the Prime Minister's Mansion soldier who had been fighting in Wu'an. An interviewer was listening and recording. This shows that Zheng Anping not only reported to Prime Minister Qin

, also reported to the King of Qin.

Bing Cao was very polite and welcomed the three of them into the private room. They sat down on both sides with a few desks. Behind the desks was a screen. Behind the screen, if nothing else happened, there should be documents recording the contents of the meeting.

As usual, Bingcao asked about the time when Hedong Shou took office, the shogunate established, the decrees issued and other regular matters, and then allowed Zheng Anping to freely describe Hedong's political achievements. Before Zheng Anping came up with the plan, he had already discussed it with various officials in Hedong.

After discussing it, how should we describe it at that time, whether it is traditional or simplified? Now that I saw his question, I took out the wooden slip and narrated it one by one according to the items prepared in advance: First, I said that Zhang Lu visited every county in Hedong in order to inspect the morphology of various places.

; Next, we will describe the recruitment order promulgated and the reorganization of Quwo and Anyi. Speaking of the disaster in Shangjun, the prime minister asked Hedong to recruit 10,000 people to rescue him. Zheng Anping even tried his best to exaggerate how Hedong could overcome many difficulties and complete the task.

The edict of the Prime Minister. He described the process of building the road in turn, as well as the various difficulties, obstacles, accidents, and disasters in the process. He spoke very emotionally. Speaking of rectifying the salt industry in Jie County, it was very thrilling; speaking of the discovery of the entrance to Zhi Road,

It is full of suspense and luck! When finally talking about the immigrants from Shangjun, he briefly mentions it, saying: "Fortunately, those who served in Hedong thanks to the gift from Shangjun will all move to Hedong. Each will be given a title, and they will live in each county.

As for their property, those who have not entered will also be properly resettled and recruited as county guards. There will be no shortage of grain and rice."

During the entire process of Zheng Anping's narration, the Bing Cao put his hands on his knees and listened attentively. He almost did not interrupt Zheng Anping's narration. After Zheng Anping finished speaking, the Bing Cao asked: "I have a plan at the end of the year. Is there any tribute?"

Who?"

Zheng Anping said: "What was offered by Hedong is very important, so I dare not write it down on a slip but keep it in the case. It is the situation of the mountains and rivers in Hedong." Chen Si took out the map of the mountains and rivers in Hedong that he had drawn from his arms and presented it to the soldier. The soldier took it.

, said: "The king and the prime minister all admired the situation of Taihang and Handan painted by the former doctor as a treasure; now that the situation of Hedong has been restored, it is also a treasure!" Then he said loudly to the inside: "Hedong presents a pair of treasures, worth thousands of gold!

Then he asked Zheng Anping: "What do you want to do with Hedong next year?"

Zheng Anping pointed to the picture of Anyi and said: "Behind Jiangshan Mountain, there is the Sushui Valley, with rich water and grass, suitable for farming and animal husbandry. Wherever the Zhi Road comes out, there are new fields next to it. At the end of the year and the beginning of the year in the east of Hedong, I am willing to be punished.

There are thousands of disciples, and the city is here, to the left of Anyi, to drain the valley of Sushui, control the entrance of Zhi Road, and lead to the road to Xintian. Then train troops and accumulate food, and then go out of Zhi Road."

Bing Cao asked: "Xintian, Pingyang, the old capital of Jin, the homeland of Han, is in the Fen River. Where is the fertile land. It leads to Taiyuan in the north and comes out of Taihang in the east. If you sincerely want to take it, what should be the way?"

Zheng Anping said: "We must also lure the people, take advantage of their weakness, clear their way, and wait for them to change. Then they sent out a large army to attack Pishi and went up the Fen River; the strange troops came out of Quwo and advanced from Juejiang Mountain.

Attack it and destroy it."

The soldier Cao asked: "If you want to take Zhidao, what will the general do?"

Zheng Anping thought to himself: Here he comes! Then he replied with the agreed words: "I heard that the Wei people in Anyi were either in Xintian, Jiang, Tang, or Yi. These people are all from Han Dynasty.

, but there are few people who live there. Most of them leave Zhi Road and live in Nanyang and Daliang. However, Nanyang and Daliang have few people and land, and I heard that many people live in Zhi but have not left. Fu Zhi Road is a narrow road in the mountains. It is not

There are luxuriant water and grass, rich mountains and rivers, but the people there are very poor, and there may be some who have returned. If we take advantage of its power and attack it, it will be false and the enemy is true. If we are true and the other is false, we will destroy it."

The soldier Cao asked: "What is the effect of guarding the enemy and recruiting traitors to Zhi Dao?"

Zheng Anping said: "I will be able to guard the mouth of Zhidao for more than a month before I return home. Perhaps after hearing that there are hundreds of people, I will camp on the left side of Anyi. I will select the good ones and enter Anyi. Now three days have passed.
