Chapter 274 Entering Pingzhou

Winter goes and spring comes, and the first month begins to plow.

During the Lantern Festival, the main streets of Luoyang City were as beautiful as in previous years, and all kinds of juggling and fighting each other. Jiang Xu, the general of the Hu Ben, and Zhong Dan, the chief of the palace, accompanied the emperor who was traveling in his private clothes, walked in the retreat. The pavilions on both sides were fragrant with wine. The pavilions were drooping in front of the pavilion, and the flowers and trees were lushly covered with lanterns. If they were not touched, it would be difficult to tell whether they were real flowers or made of colorful silk.

Of course, it would have been great if it would have "met" Bian Wangzhi, who was full of serious faces every one or two, and the Sili soldiers who looked at the faces of the hawks and falcons.

As long as Emperor Sima Youzhi smiled, he would show a rare feeling of youth. The girls who passed by threw flowers and handkerchiefs at him, and he continued. When he could not see the shy and timid figures of the girls, he handed the flowers and handkerchiefs to Jiang Xun and Zhong Dan.

"Did you find out? There are many people selling masks this year. Why did this rise again?" Sima Youzhi stopped in front of a mask stall, and hung three horizontal ropes with two bamboo poles on both sides of the stall. There were many masks tied at every two punches, including gods and ghosts, as well as beasts and birds.

There was a man next to him who tried on a mask and immediately stopped moving, showing his natural alert eyes, and responded with a clumsy pretending to spread gossip: "I heard that the imperial city issued an order, and all the men who applied the powder were arrested to plow the land in the suburbs of the city. You... to avoid being caught, just put on the mask. You um... Didn't you notice? There are the most people in the streets of Jiushi, Fish Market, and Jiangshi, because the smell is strong, and it can rinse away the fragrance of Ershi."

Sima Youzhi's eyes were unhappy.

The Sili soldiers quickly took two steps back and left.

Zhong Dan shouted: "Hey? He didn't give the money."

Sili's captain Bian Wangzhi appeared teleported and threw ten money at the vendor. Unexpectedly, the merchant said timidly: "Not enough, the mask just now was the most expensive, thirty dollars." Bian Wangzhi had to count out twenty more money in depression.

Everyone continued to move forward, and Sima Youzhi was worried: "Before summer, the new plow must be fully implemented in Sizhou. There are so many more cosmetic men, and the Diannong Commander still shouted that there are shortages of people. They are all busy with spring plowing. Where can I find people?"

"I have a way. The military force of the Sizhou and County were eliminated by thousands of brave men. When they were idle, they would cause trouble all day. The officials would rather give them a gift and let them open up land like ordinary rural soldiers. Those with excellent performance would be supplemented with escort or guardians. Just like some brave men in Kuaiji County went to the border counties to earn military merits, they were better than wandering in decadent and fighting and causing trouble."

Several people walked up the stone bridge, and Sima Youzhi looked at the quiet river water. The reflected light in the water made him realize for a moment. The model of the Quyuan Plough arrived at the capital first, and then, the "rules and wooden blocks" that added assessments for the carpenter's skill were also arrived.

All candidates, the carving method of Kuaiji County Prince Ge, was special, and they picked out the wooden block. Sure enough, the outside and the inside were round, and the ball moved freely in the square and could not be taken out. This method of carving wood is consistent with the ball carving method left by Wang Father before leaving. The most important thing is that the "king" in Wang Ge's name is almost the same as the "king" of "King of Lin" left by Wang Father on the ball.

Is she really the person the prince’s father has been looking for?

The prince's father instructed her to find her one day, so don't bother her or protect her. But the world is still chaotic. Is she light or heavy in the prince's heart? "Have you brave men gone to the border county?"

Bian Wangzhi: "Yes, they are all very smart. They went to Pingzhou as master of craftsman or military craftsman. Another thing is that Wang Ge, the craftsman who made the new plow, was recommended by Sili to be the Sili Tu Bing. In order to pass the Zhongchao as soon as possible, Wang Tubing was rushing to Pingzhou, and he should go to Xuantu County."

"Pingzhou... Well, there is Xun Guanzai, okay. The brave men mentioned just now about the land reclamation, but how many places are allowed to join the guards or guards? Tomorrow," Sima Youzhi stopped walking a little and added: "Go to the border counties to earn military merits, and it is a good thing to have this ambition, so there is no need to hide it."

Bian Wang was happy, and His Majesty was tolerant. This was to allow Kuaiji County to have a reward quota. His youngest son Bian Jian was also eliminated by the weapons made by King Ge Xin. It was embarrassing to say it. It was great to go to the border county to experience it. Even if you can't win this reward, you can still exercise your courage.

Cold comes and heat goes, and the year comes.

In early June, Wang Ge and the other four passed Youzhou and finally entered the Pingzhou territory. Pingzhou governed five counties, the largest area was Xuantu County. The other four counties were Changli County, Liaodong County, Lelang County, and Daifang County.

Wang Ge already knew that since the reign of Emperor Cheng, the highest commander of Pingzhou was the governor and the Dongyi Captain. What is the Dongyi Captain? It is the highest military commander of the land of Pingzhou.

The officials of Liaodong County are also special than elsewhere. It may be because the county's "Xiangping County" is both the prefectural capital. Liaodong County is under the command of the army and no other county lieutenant will be set up.

These two types of officials and chief systems have been continued until now and have not been changed.

After entering Pingzhou, you have to go to the Dongyi School Guard Mansion in Xiangping County to register your permanent identity. Wang Ge was very excited. In addition to finally being able to develop his ideals and ambitions, he was also excited to meet Xun Guan, the only female county magistrate of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Xun Guan, whose courtesy name is Guanniang. According to Huan Zhen, the other party was in his early twenties. In this era, Xun Guan was simply a role model for all girls. It can be seen that as long as he succeeds, this brand new Jin Dynasty will give her a fair position, just like Xun Guanniang!

Of course, if everything goes well, it will take four days to meet Xun County as soon as possible.

Changli County has three counties, from west to east to Liucheng, and Bintu and the county are governed by Changli County. Bintu County is a must-pass place for four people. You can reach Xiangping from Bintu all the way east. You don’t need to enter Liucheng County, nor do you need to enter Changli County.

The ethnic integration here is even more than that in Youzhou. Xianbei people with big faces and high cheekbones can be seen everywhere. They wear Han family's rough gilding clothes, wealthier ox carts to drive on the road, poor hiking, and their backs bent by heavy bags. Wang Ge thought secretly: Sure enough, the royal family has chosen them to leave, and there is no one with Sima Shao's appearance.

The other people who are obviously different from the appearance of the people in the Central Plains are not only the Xianbei and Jie people, but also the people from the Goguryeo and Dongwoju tribes.

Although the Bintu was not the first county, it was still quite prosperous when approaching the county town, which was stronger than Wang Ge thought. The place of transactions was very different from that of ordinary counties. Except for a few people who bought and sold farm tools and plowing oxen, the most were tenants. According to Huan Zhen’s inquiry, in the early years, when slaves were sold from Bingzhou to Liaodong, it was popular. After the fifth year of Pingxi, the court vigorously supported the border counties, which gradually abolished slavery and the Fuyu tribe's burial system.

In order to ensure safety, Huan Zhen decided to waste half a day. They rested in Bintu County and set out again tomorrow morning. In this way, they could stop three pavilions on the road and reach Xiangping County. The road between the pavilions and pavilions in the border counties requires guard against bandits, especially when they ride good horses.

"That's great." Wang Tian jumped high in place, "I just saw someone selling red jade and a litter of beagles."

"Swish." Sima Chong was about to quarrel, but when he saw Wang Ge also seemed to want to wander, he immediately changed his words: "Eat first."

Huan Zhen: "Yes. We have enough time for an afternoon, so we can have a good time to visit the city in the border county."

Father Wang: Grandfather.
