In February of the second year of Jian'an, it was in the territory of Mei County.

The grass is long and the warblers are flying, and the willows are green.

After the beginning of spring, there were several spring rains in Mei County, which brought blessings to these light rains. Last year, the wheat planted in some fields grew well, but due to the war, there was still no time to plant wheat in more fields.

However, after the beginning of spring, the county's households, Tian Cao and other officials were busy organizing the return households to farm and farm for spring farming. They also remeasured the land, gathered the ownerless fields, registered them, and distributed them to the households placed in Mei County for military farming.

There were also many pedestrians on the official road, in addition to the horses and horses carrying armored halberds, there were farmers, scholars, refugee households who were recruited and placed, craftsmen who were recruited or recruited, and businessmen who were carriages and horses carrying...

The spring wind, with warmth, blows towards you, making the pedestrians on the road lazy.

In the spring breeze with a fresh earthy atmosphere, a crisp sound of horse hooves came from the official road.

Two riders in bright clothes and angry horses led the way, two riders in the middle behind, and a little boy riding a donkey at the end followed.

The farmer and woman on the official road subconsciously avoided the sides and secretly looked at them. Judging from this posture, either the officials and powerful men went to the spring or the children of the rich were traveling.

The knights who were whipping the horses did not pay attention to them, but flashed past them, leaving behind a scattered dust and a shallow mark of horse hooves.

The farmer and woman raised her sleeves, covered her mouth and nose, and returned to the road. However, a white-faced Confucian scholar riding a horse in the middle slowed down his horse and shouted to a handsome man beside her and said:

"Zijing, if I don't explain where I go, I'm going home!"

As he spoke, the white-faced Confucian scholar immediately grabbed his mount and also stopped the donkey by the way.

"Don't, Kojima, stop, stop!"

The handsome man with a anxious expression immediately saw the white-faced Confucian scholar pinning his mount and pretending to leave. He quickly spoke out to dissuade him, and at the same time called on the two cavalry slaves in front of him.

The white-faced Confucian scholar looked at the handsome man, raised his eyebrows, waved his hand lazily, and asked:

"Okay, now you can say it!"

"Haha." The handsome man smiled and shook his head, pointed to the white-faced Confucian scholar and chuckled softly:

"Xiaozhi, Xiaozhi, you said that you had only been home for a few days, and this lazy look broke out again. Do you still remember the bold words you told me when you were forced to leave home to take refuge in this troubled world, to find a wise ruler and assist him, and to work together to clear the world and pacify the troubled times?"

A white-faced Confucian scholar was told about this old story by a handsome man. He was extremely thick-skinned. He was not ashamed of his disagreement. He still spread his hands and said calmly:

"Isn't this Guanzhong already recovered by the royal army, and the scholars, people, women and children have returned to their own homes and their own careers. Then you still mention this matter, say drunken words, just say it, just say it. Haha, if you don't explain where you go, I'm really going home!"

"Hey, you said, since you are all out, what are you going to do at this time?"

The handsome man seemed not going to tell the White-faced Confucian scholars where they were, but he didn't want him to leave. Seeing his lazy look, he had to question with a stern face.

Seeing the handsome man with a straight face, the white-faced Confucian scholar didn't care.

"I'm going home to work as a farmer and study. Isn't this county official posting a manifesto that has been put down in the state? It's said that there may be drought this year, so that officials from all counties and counties can mobilize scholars and people to plant cold-resistant corn. They must work hard to cultivate and weave food and prevent disasters. During the busy farming season, don't stop me, I'm going to rush home to plow in spring."

"It's ridiculous. Others don't know that you are Fa Xiaozhi, but I don't know that you are Fa Xiaozhi. If you can farm with peace of mind when you return home, you won't need this young slave boy in the future. I will take the initiative to hold the horse and hold the reins for you!"

"Haha, my family can't afford to support the dignified Meng family gentleman. Hey, I'd better go back. Qingnu, let's go!"

The white-faced Confucian scholar greeted the little boy riding a donkey behind him and said, and then he wanted to turn his horse back. Seeing this, the handsome man had to hold his reins and said helplessly:

"Okay, don't leave now, come here, I'll tell you quietly!"

The white-faced Confucian scholar smiled when he saw the handsome man's helpless expression, and stopped his hand. He immediately stretched his neck and pressed it in front of the handsome man.

"Listen, don't be scared to fall off your horse. This time we are going to meet the Marquis of Wugong, Zhijie Kaifu, and governing Hedong, Henan, Henei, Hongnong, Fengyi, Fufeng, Jingzhao seven counties, the General Secretary, Liang and Yong's Yan Piqiqi!"

"Hahaha, what a big title, but I don't believe it. The Yan Cavalry is either in Chang'an or in Anyi at this moment, so how could he run to Mei County?"

"This is a real thing!"

"If the great generals of the state and the dynasty arrive in Mei County, how can the scholars and people in the county not know? If it is a white dragon fish suit, how can you know?"

"Hehe, this is my method of Mencius. This General of Cavalry came to Mei County to inspect the rivers and canals. He usually did not disturb the sages and people in the county. He would not meet the officials of the county until he had time to spare, and he would only receive the news from the county officials. I had entrusted the officials of the county to get the news. And with their help, General of Cavalry knew me. Do you know that General of Cavalry would meet me later."

Seeing the handsome man looking proud, the white-faced Confucian scholar blew it, and seemed to have no interest in it. He only followed the conversation and laughed at the end:

"Oh, then I have to celebrate Brother Zijing in advance. But I have to remind you in advance that the General of the Cavalry came here to inspect the rivers and canals. Since he did not want to disclose his whereabouts, he must be unwilling to be disturbed. But you not only heard the news from the county, but also asked the county officials to recommend you, but I am afraid that this visit may not be a good thing."

"If there is a slight mistake in words and deeds, and the Yan Cavalry is regarded as an illegal tyrant who colludes with officials and fosters power, that would be a bad thing. I heard that the laws of Hedong are strict, and the cruel officials under Yan Cavalry are best to fight against illegal tyrants. Be careful when you visit this time, don't turn into a sheep and get into the tiger's mouth!"

After being ridiculed by the white-faced Confucian scholar, the handsome man also snorted and said sneered:

"Xiaozhi, you are too underestimating me. I was naturally prepared to ask the county officials to recommend me to Yan Piaoqi. This time I did not just visit me, but as a local talent, I would like to offer a plan to open the canal to Yan Piaoqi. The officials not only did not have the crime of collusion, but instead recommended merit."

When the white-faced Confucian scholar laughed loudly when he heard the handsome man say this.

"Hahaha, Zijing, don't make me laugh. Although your family is rich and has good land and high houses, you have no silt on the river craftsmanship and have never inspected the river craftsmanship. You want to offer a plan to open the canal. Don't make a fool of yourself and ruin my reputation in the village. Come on, let's go home together."

"Stop it, you, you, you." The handsome man was originally anxious to quietly take this white-faced Confucian scholar to welcome General Hou's cavalry's car, but he didn't expect that he had been scattered and lazy for a long time and anger also ignited in his heart. However, due to the friendship he had been with each other for many years, he was not angry, so he had to calm down and continued:

"In extraordinary times, there are naturally extraordinary things. Just follow me. As you walk, I will tell you the reason. You don't want to know why I am fearless. You don't want to see the Yan Piqi who pacified Guanzhong. Even if you see him from afar, you can see what kind of hero he is?"

The white-faced Confucian scholar was not sure if he was listening to the words of Junxiu man. Instead of seeing Junxiu man, he looked up at the clear sky. After a while, when Junxiu man finished speaking, he sighed slowly, shrugged and said:

"Forget it, I really want to know this time. If I really want to meet you, then let's go and see if I, Fa Xiaozhi, accidentally, was sold by you as a bad friend!"

"Haha, okay, okay, go quickly and open the way!"

Seeing that the white-faced Confucian scholar was willing to go with him, the handsome man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and did not care about the white-faced Confucian scholar's ridicule. He quickly ordered two cavalry slaves to set off, and the group continued to set off.

Knowing that this friend is not easy to deceive, the handsome man who set out again had to follow the topic just now and continue to say to the white-faced Confucian scholar:

"Chengguo Canal is a river canal built by the former Han Dynasty. It is located in the northeast of the jurisdiction of our county. It leads to the Wei River and flows northeast, passes through Wugong, Huaili, and goes to Shanglinyuan and enter Menglong Canal. You know Xiaozhi."

"Yes, I heard that after the war was pacified last year, Jingzhao and Fufeng counties began to use labor for relief, escort prisoners of war, recruit hungry people to serve as river workers, and repair and clear this irrigation canal that has been disrepaired and has accumulated and cut off the flow of irrigation canal!"

"That's right, but do you know that the state plans to extend the land to the state of Chencang to the west, and add marsh water as a source of water to irrigate the land west of Mei County and open up new military farm areas."

"I don't know this. How can I compare to your Meng family gentleman. He has a good hand and eyes, and even the decisions of the prefectures are clearly found."

"Haha, this is a document issued by the state to discuss with the counties of Fufeng. I have made extensive friends and experienced personalities, so I can find out by chance. Therefore, I have to take advantage of the opportunity of Yan Piaoqiu patrolling the rivers and canals in Ji County to offer him a strategy to open the canals."

When the white-faced Confucian scholar heard this, he changed his lazy appearance along the way and looked at the handsome man with interest.

"Although I don't know the inside story, I guessed the behavior of Yan Piaoqi coming to Mei County to inspect the rivers and canals. I guess it was because Xixi Chuangcheng Guoku arrived in Chencang and gave him the gift of Pili Water. The expansion strategy of Daxing's military farm attracted great interest. But I really can't think of what you can make your channel strategy catch his eye?"

"You must know that the strategy of expanding the west into a national canal must have been proposed by those officials who are proficient in water conservancy to patrol the river canals and then to Yan Piaoqi. You are not familiar with water conservancy and are not proficient in river engineering. How could you have such a courage to offer a strategy to open the canal?"
