Wu Zhi sighed and wandered around the village. This is not good at this era, and the information is too underdeveloped. For example, now, I don’t know anything about Yanggu and the capital. It’s okay now. If I accidentally enter the political vortex in the future, it’s a dead end. It seems that information is the most important thing in every era. Well, if I go back to the capital, I have to consider this issue carefully.

"Master! Master! You go back to the mansion quickly, the magistrate will come to see the man!" Zhu'er ran away and looked proud, as if the magistrate was visiting her. No wonder she was happy. Among the three villages, Wujiazhuang was the most inconspicuous before. And I heard that the magistrate of Zhending Prefecture was the most upright and honest. Since the magistrate took office a year ago, he drove the former owner Zhang who bribed according to the rules and did not give him any face. He heard that he looked down on his former owner Zhang who started his family with his ancestors and could not carry forward the family. Even when the magistrate Zhang went to see the magistrate, he was often turned away, let alone the magistrate came to the turf in person.

Wu Zhi was surprised. After hearing Butler Liu talk about the character of this prefect, he admired him very much. He always wanted to find an opportunity to visit him, but he didn't expect that he would come to him first. But he didn't know what he intended.

Zhu'er was wearing a blue cotton-woven jacket with a floral blue jacket, and looked a little more pretty. This was the money given by the owner of the mansion, which was equivalent to the owner of the mansion who bought it for himself. Zhu'er liked it so much that she wore it on her body every day. It was funny. That day, she went to the peddler to buy cloth with Chunhua that day, but she didn't expect that the peddler had never seen such a large-denomination friend, let alone change, and was damaged by Chunhua, which made the peddler almost cut it in the ground. The clothes were bought later when Chunhua went to Zhending Mansion to get New Year's goods. After putting it on, Wu Zhi praised it and was reluctant to change it.

In the living room of the Wu family compound, Wu Zhi met the long-famous prefect, who was in his forties, with bright eyes and energetic spirits, wearing a green casual robe, and was looking around at the decorations of the living room.

"Oh, the magistrate has arrived, and Wuhan University has not been able to meet you. I wish you guilty and forgive me!" Of course, the meeting was just these polite words.

The two of them were humble and took a seat. The prefect of Zhending sat on the black wooden Eight Immortals chair, while tasting tea, while looking at Wu Zhi carefully. It seemed that he was very curious about Wu Zhi.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "The magistrate can come to Wujiazhuang. Wu Da is really proud, but he doesn't know what the lord is doing. You can't come to visit Wu Da specifically, right? Wu Da is straight-minded and doesn't like to go around in circles. Don't blame him." Whenever he says anything to someone, he will naturally have to go around and make people confused, so that it's hard to understand the depth. But if you sincerely make friends with such a straightforward person, it's best to tell a long story short.

The prefect smiled slightly, with a slightly admirable look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Master Wu, you are right. Zong is here to see you, look at the heroes who used a few people to kill the elite 100 people of the Liao cavalry in the battle, and look at the heroes who made Xiao Tiancheng, the son of the Prince of Liao, so frightened!"

Wu Zhi was shocked. Why did the news so quickly? Even the Liao people knew the details of the Liao people that day. Well, Xiao Tiancheng, I don’t need to find out his details anymore. But how did the Zhending Prefect know about it?

The prefect Zong seemed to know the doubts in his heart and said, "The owner of the manor should not be doubted. The people of Liao were from the Song Dynasty. Although we could not find out the secret matters, the news of Xiao Tiancheng's escape to the Liao camp was very popular. It was thought that it was deliberately emitted by the Xiao family's enemies. I think that Xiao Tiancheng has been familiar with military tactics since he was a child and loves to learn swords and guns. He is quite famous among the nobles of the Liao Kingdom. In the past, Zong also heard a lot of his reputation, but he did not want to see him today. However, Zhao Kuoer, who was talking about war on paper, Zong took on vain for nothing!" As he said that, the prefect Zong laughed loudly, laughing very happily, and seemed very happy.

Wu Zhi laughed with him for a while, but he didn't expect that he might have ruined a genius by accident, and he felt a little funny in his heart.

The prefect Zong said again: "I sent the news back to the Daming Mansion to stay in Liangzhong Library. The Secretariat of the Central Secretariat issued a document to ask Zhending Mansion to find out the heroes who defeated the Liao cavalry. Zong only realized that the recent incident of the new owner of Wujiazhuang, Xiaoshaqiu, killed and retreated the enemy cavalry in Zhending, was true. It was not the rumors spread by the owner of the manor's orders to promote the owner's reputation. It was Zong's villain's heart before, so don't blame the owner of Wuzhou." As he said that, he apologized with a sincere attitude.

The Song Dynasty had four capitals, Tokyo Kaifeng Prefecture, Nanjing Yingtian Prefecture, Xijing Henan Prefecture, and Beijing Daming Prefecture. The position of the Left-behind Office was higher than that of the Four Capitals Prefecture, and could also serve as the Prefecture. The Daming Prefecture had a special status and was also an important town in the northern border. In the front line of Liao, the Daming Left-behind Office was governor of the Song and Liao border matters. This Liang Zhongshu was equal to the later provincial secretary and military commander.

Seeing that the prefect of the Zong was not fake, Wu Zhi said frankly and did not vaguely because he was ignorant. He had a little more favor with him and sighed and said, "You are polite, Wu Da dare not be aware of it. It is not the only one who can defeat the Liao cavalry. Eight sons under Wu Da died. When they think about it, they still hate themselves. One day, Liao Dog will regret it!"

After hearing this, the prefect Zong sighed and chanted: "The bright moon in the Qin Dynasty was in the Han Dynasty, and the people of thousands of miles of long march had not returned. But the flying general in Longcheng was here, and the Huma did not teach the Yinshan Mountains! It is a pity that our Song Dynasty is vast and wealthy, but we cannot keep the border safe. I think how happy it would be to surrender to the four barbarians in the prosperous Tang Dynasty! Zong had written several times to express his grievances in the court, but he was not allowed to adopt it. Recently, I heard that the court had the intention of demoting Zong to promote Hongqing Palace. I really wanted to build a house in the Dongyang Valley to live a long life."

Wu Zhi was surprised that he had just met him, so why did he talk about the affairs of the court with him? He seemed to have some deep conversations about these things.

The prefect Zong smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Zong is not long, but seeing my great Song heroes appearing is a comforting thing. I have nowhere to complain on weekdays. The owner of Wu Zhuang is a straightforward man. I don't think he can spread Zong's words everywhere. Don't blame him for being abrupt."

After hearing his "old widow comfort", Wu Zhi smiled in his heart. A man in his forties is so old-fashioned. I'm afraid it's because of his depression and unsuccessfulness. The mentality that later generations talk about refers to people like him.

"I don't know what books I've read? Can you smell it at Wuhan University?" Wu Zhi wanted to hear what this prefect has. Although he doesn't understand these things, he still has a high level of listening.

The prefect Zong glanced at him strangely and thought to himself that even if you are a hero, you look like a hero. How could you understand these temple arguments? I was just depressed and complained casually. Why are you so interested? However, my governance of Song Ce is the result of my experience after many years of local employment. It can be said that it is the crystallization of my own efforts. Some people are willing to listen to the fun and talk. Of course, I would not expect this Wu Zhuangzhu to understand, let alone inspiring me.

"My Song Dynasty is vast and its caravans are spread overseas. Various laws have been improved by generations and gradually matured. Such as salt, wine, tea and other laws are a good law. Various workshops are like bamboo shoots after the rain, pits, tea salt, shipbuilding, papermaking, sugar, textile, porcelain making, etc., and have developed rapidly and have complete technology. There are also large workshops of hundreds of thousands of craftsmen such as shipbuilding, papermaking, printing, weaving, etc., as well as official kilns in various places, and the steelmaking in Hebei and Henan every year reaches hundreds of millions of kilograms, which can be said to be rich in the world, comparable to the prosperous Tang Dynasty!"

Listening to the passionate words of the prefect, Wu Zhi was inexplicably shocked. In his impression, the Song Dynasty was a weak dynasty. It was first suppressed by the Liao Kingdom and was breathless. In the west, the Western Xia Dynasty also repeatedly invaded the border. Later, it was occupied by the Jin Kingdom, and finally the country was destroyed by the Mongolian cavalry. This Song Dynasty was the history of humiliation in China! After coming to the Song Dynasty, he found that the people's lives were quite comfortable and better than he thought. At least it was not as difficult as the novel wrote in the novel. But it was just a matter of food and clothing. But he didn't expect that the Song Dynasty's economy was so developed. When he heard the prefect, the prototype of the factory appeared!

Wu Zhi was shocked, but he kept regretting why he didn't read more in the past. If he had some professional knowledge and set up a factory, it would be difficult not to make a fortune! Hum? No, I am now a noble king Qiansui. After a few hundred years, I can be considered as entering the central sequence? Why do I always think about vulgar ideas like getting rich? It's really a small peasant consciousness! I blame myself for the imprint of being in society. At that time, I envy the rich people who have industry the most, and that's a great man! But what are the merchants of this era? Scholars, farmers, businessmen, fourth-class people! Although the Song Dynasty was relatively open and no longer suppressed business, the status of merchants has improved, the traditional ideas for thousands of years are there, and even rich merchants are not as good as Master Guan, let alone the best title among Master Guan.

The prefect Zong didn't know what he was thinking about. After speaking passionately, he sighed and said, "What a pity! It's a pity! It's a pity that the treacherous slander has been in the past ten years..." He stopped talking here. It doesn't matter if he complains, and it doesn't matter whether he talks about bad policies. After all, the Song Dynasty's speech is still free. But if it alludes to the important officials of the current dynasty, it's a bad idea to spread it out. Although he has the intention to retreat, he is afraid that the powerful ministers will be punished and implicate their family. The owner of Wu's manor is not clear about the details. Judging from his young age, he is probably a famous family, but some words cannot be heard from him.

"Treacherous and treacherous?" Wu Zhi heard it, and looked at the prefect Zong with interesting interest. I wonder if I am considered a traitor? Alas, this will be something that people will comment decades later. I want to be a traitor now, but I don't have the qualifications yet.

The prefect of Zong shook his head and smiled bitterly, avoiding the topic: "In recent years, people are clamoring for reforms, but they are misinterpreting the laws of princes and princes. There are many illegal officials, and they use this to make money, but the people are suffering. The military is gradually becoming deserted. Although the number of people is heavy, the combat power is low. Alas! It's a pity, I don't know when the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will be taken back!"

Wu Zhi listened to his speech vaguely, thinking that he was avoiding himself. Since he came to this era, he had been in the dark. Although he had become a royal relative inadvertently, he always felt insecure. He didn't know when the Jin Dynasty and Mongolia would emerge from the north. He didn't say that it was for me, but he should do something for me, but unfortunately he couldn't figure out the situation of the court. Now there was a person who understood clearly in front of him, and he happened to investigate carefully, but they seemed to not believe in him and had many blurred words in his words. It seemed that if he wanted to ask him to open up, he could only curse the "treacherous" first.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "The Prefect Zong has something to say. I have told you that Wu Da is a rough man and cannot stand these half words. Today's treacherous slander is Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Qiu? What can I say? Today, you and I don't know what to say, and it's just the right thing to say! "

The prefect Zong was stunned and laughed for a while, "Okay, okay, it's Zong again." As he said that, he stood up and went to Wu Zhi to the ground, saying, "Don't blame the owner of Wu. Zong Ze used to call himself a hero, but he was helpless in the officialdom and worked step by step, and had long lost his former aura. Only today can he know the true hero."

Wu Zhi's head buzzed, Zong Ze, he is Zong Ze, the boss of the anti-Jin hero Han Shizhong and Yue Fei? A famous general who was called "Grandpa Zong" by the Jin people? I met Liang Hongyu before and met Zong Ze again today. It seems that this is not a coincidence in the name. Is it really the day when the Jin Kingdom's rise is right in front of me?

At this time, Wu Zhi didn't care about so much. After Zong Ze sat down, he asked directly: "Sir, what other countries are there in the northern part of the Liao Kingdom?"

Zong Ze shook his head and said, "The northern part of Liao Kingdom is a bitter and cold place, but I have never heard of any country."

Wu Zhi frowned, and suddenly remembered the "Deer and Cauldron" I had read before, saying that the Qing Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom belonged to the Jurchens, and hurriedly asked, "Does the lord know about the Jurchen tribe?"

Zong Ze said: "I have heard of the Jurchen tribe. In the territory of Liao, I heard that most of them are brave, but I don't know anything about the others."

Wu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was still time. Then he slowly asked Zong Ze about the situation in the Song Dynasty. He realized that since the reform of the Shenzong, the new party and the old party had begun party struggles. When he was established by Huizong, he tended to reform the new party, but he did not know that Cai Jing, whom he promoted, was really a villain who repeatedly relied on the old and new parties. After becoming the prime minister, he eliminated dissidents and promoted his confidants. Although he could not be said to be powerful in the court, he was not far from each other. As for Gao Qiu, he was just a favored jester, but he could not be called a treacherous jester. Tong Guan is now just a sacrificial official in the inner court. Although he was favored, he could not be called a treacherous jester. Wu Zhi thought that was you who didn't know Tong Guan's ability. This guy was the only eunuch in history to be named king.

After Cai Jing took office, he claimed to have implemented new laws, but he had all passed the same laws, which provided great convenience for officials from all over the country to fill their pockets. Some prefectures caused public grievances.
