Chapter 1633 Common people’s common sayings and common things
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, or it is summer and flowers are blooming.
Although the winter seems to be getting longer and the spring getting colder in the past two years, here in Jingxiang, in early summer, it seems that all the oppression of the cold weather in spring is about to be vented, and the scenery is colorful.
Jingxiang has been somewhat deserted in the past two years. Strictly speaking, it should be that the Xiangyang area has become deserted.
Because Wancheng is bustling.
I don’t know when it started, maybe in the past two years, or maybe earlier, when Wancheng’s trading shops started to carry out some activities, such as buy one and get one free, top up a hundred yuan and get ten yuan, and what else.

At first, the local shopkeepers in Xiangyang sneered, thinking that these were just tactics to attract attention. What was more important was good goods and good connections. Those who were greedy for cheap could not get good goods. However, they slowly discovered that the flow of people in their stores was getting more and more popular.
The fewer people there are, the more people there are in Wancheng.
There were so many that there were no shops in Wancheng, only inns, and another merchant village was built on the outskirts of Wancheng, specifically for the market. When the number of people was large, there were even nearly ten thousand people passing through it every day.
This speed of gathering wealth naturally makes many people jealous. Those who are a little bit financially savvy, or even those who don’t even have any brains, just look at how many shops and goods there are in Wancheng.
The value is astonishing. Therefore, I don’t know whether they are real bandits or fake bandits. They range from hundreds to thousands. Whether they are sneak attacks or disguises, they all want to be in Wancheng Shangzhai.
Get a handful here...
However, it is a pity that these real bandits and fake bandits were not able to get what they wanted in the end.
The view of human heads piled up on the slope not far from Shangzhai is a warning to everyone with some bad thoughts. It warns that there is an extremely brave general sitting in Wancheng who wants to cause trouble.
, first be silent about whether your neck is strong enough.
Huang Chengyan was in Wancheng, pressing his waist and sighing a little.
In the first two years, I felt that my body and bones were fine. Then, I felt that Huang Yueying had left. I hadn't heard anything about Huang Yueying for several years. As a result, Huang Chengyan couldn't sit still. He said that relying on heaven and earth is better than relying on himself, so ever
I took in two concubines in a row and worked very hard. What’s the result...
There was still no movement, which made Huang Chengyan feel sad and hurt his waist.
It seems that it is destined that even I can’t rely on myself...
Huang Chengyan sighed and decided to write another letter to Huang Yueying, asking Huang Yueying to work harder. Now that he is so young, only one child is not enough, and there are ten or eight children. If he can't even get one,
Why do you have the nerve to say hello to people?
"Where's Han Sheng? Why aren't you here?" Huang Chengyan staggered to Chijietang and took a look, but couldn't see Huang Zhong, so he stopped a busy official and asked.
"I have seen Mr. Huang..." the clerk replied respectfully, "The general went to the school grounds in the city..."
Huang Chengyan suddenly realized, "Are you going to train again? Hi..."
However, military training is a serious matter. Huang Chengyan just sighed casually without any other meaning. After all, Huang Chengyan also knew that without Huang Zhong, a strong general and strong army, Wancheng would not be what it is today.
Before Huang Chengyan came to Wancheng, Wancheng was basically deserted. It used to be a gathering place for Yellow Turban thieves. Naturally, there was no such thing as economy or people's livelihood. Especially Liu Biao felt that his military power was controlled by the Cai family.
It was so powerful that after he transferred Wenpin back to Xiangyang and came with Gan Ning to check and balance Cai Mao, Wancheng was basically reduced to a den of thieves. It was so chaotic that there was no order at all, and the people fled one after another. At that time, Wancheng
The city is really basically a den of thieves.
Then Huang Chengyan and Huang Zhong took over this mess.
At the beginning, some bandits and bandits left Wancheng, but most of them were unwilling to give up and were still pretending to be around Wancheng, especially those who had tasted the sweetness and were not willing to give up at all.
Wancheng wanted to attack Huang Chengyan and others who came to take over Wancheng.
As a result, Huang Chengyan stood still at first. When these bandits began to show their claws, he suddenly launched into action. For a time, thousands of heads rolled down in and out of Wancheng, and the streets and city gates were stained with blood. They were immediately frightened.
The deceived thieves can be regarded as clearing up a wave of tough and stubborn thieves...
Immediately, the people who stayed near Wancheng quietly hid their swords and guns, then picked up their hoes in the corner of the house, and immersed themselves in the land with sweat, saying that they knew nothing and had never done anything...
Huang Chengyan also put past the past and gave some support to those who were willing to pick up the hoe and plow the land again, re-dividing the field boundaries.
Slowly, the people of Wancheng gradually settled down after such a great purge. The original order was re-established, the household registration system was reorganized, and with the addition of Huang's craftsmen, the city roads were repaired.
, the renovation of water conservancy facilities, and the injection of northwest caravans, Wancheng has gradually transformed from a den of thieves into a major commercial city today.
Liu Biao saw that Huang had grown up, and he wanted to pick peaches, but he was a little bit defensive. After all, everyone knew what Wancheng was like before. Now that Huang has done it, he will reach out. No matter what, it can't be justified. The key is that Huang
The family had deep roots in Jingxiang and had a close relationship with the Pang family and the Cai family. This influence moved the whole body. At first, Liu Biao hesitated, thinking that he would gather the military power of the Cai family in a short time. As a result, he watched Wancheng become more and more powerful.
The bigger it gets, the more you dare not move even if you want to.
For Cao Cao, having such a big trading city is undoubtedly very convenient. In addition, Cao Cao and Liu Biao were allies in the past. Although he knew that Liu Biao might have some grudge against Wancheng, Cao Cao didn't care about it.
Everything has not been taken care of properly. Where can I find the free time to work hard for Liu Biao?
Therefore, Wancheng was in the gap between Liu Biao and Cao Cao, and relied on the Northwest Livestock Trading Group, so it was natural that Wancheng was prosperous...
Cao Cao attacked Yuan Shu in the south and Yuan Shao in the north, which immediately messed up the entire Central Plains area. Some people could not bear it and avoided the war, and some of them attached themselves to Wancheng, which indirectly promoted the rapid development of Wancheng.
However, with the development of Wancheng, Huang Chengyan's head is somewhat useless.
Household registration, customs, Fu registration, more servitude, rural servitude, extended servitude, relocation, three elders, filial brothers, widows, loneliness, refugees, slaves and other matters are becoming more and more complicated, plus the need to manage the market
Conflicts between various merchants, dealing with cunning and cunning people, and at the same time following the general customs of the Han Dynasty, we also need to carry out some civilian affairs, and even see who under the rule lives to sixty-seventy.
You can give wine and wine to the people tax-free. Each task is so complicated that it will kill people.
If it comes to engineering matters, such as what materials and what processes, Huang Chengyan almost doesn't have to think about it, he can get started, but is it so civil...
The same goes for Huang Zhong. His skill points are all focused on force, but he is almost blank in the field of civil affairs, even worse than Huang Chengyan.
If you can't do it yourself, you naturally need to hire foreign aid. And the foreign aid hired by Huang Chengyan naturally fell on Pang's head...
"Immortal people..." Huang Chengyan clasped his hands behind his back, just like a landlord inspecting his fields, wandering to the political hall of Wancheng, met Pang Shanmin, and said hello with a smile.
"I have met Mr. Huang." Pang Shanmin greeted Huang Chengyan.
Pang Shanmin, also known as Shanmin, nicknamed Xianmin, nicknamed Juanmin...
It's like a street gangster who talks about men and women in public is a shameless and despicable hooligan, and may be punished. Then a boss talks about men and women in public. He is elegant, funny and charming, and the listeners have to show eight teeth.
The boss said it well, the boss said it right. The two-character names of the Han Dynasty were just nicknames for ordinary people, but for Pang Shanmin and Huang Chengyan, they were elegant and unique.
Pang Shanmin is the son of Pang Degong and Pang Tong's cousin. He is naturally Huang Chengyan's junior. His appearance is completely different from Pang Tong's. He is a quite handsome man, which is in line with the aesthetic concepts of the Han Dynasty people.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Huang Chengyan smiled, "I'll just walk around and take a look... You're busy, you're busy..."
Although he said this, Pang Shanmin couldn't really just leave Huang Chengyan aside and not care about anything. He first asked someone to bring Huang Chengyan a brocade mat, and then arranged tea soup and other things, and then he approved the writing while
Said: "Huang Gong, Ziyuan is now a great Han hussar, and the Huang family is also in high demand..."
"Ah ha, ah ha ha ha..." Huang Chengyan smiled so hard that his back molars were exposed, "This is Fei's business, it's just that the girl is lucky, it has nothing to do with me, ah ha ha, it has nothing to do with me..."
Pang Shanmin curled his lips secretly, "It really doesn't matter. You won't hang around all the time these days. Don't you just want to hear a few more words..."
Huang Chengyan laughed to himself for a while, and then said: "By the way, mountain people, that boy Ziyuan is quite thoughtful and asked people to bring twenty sheep. He said that these sheep taste better in the northwest. We
The sheep here have a somewhat earthy flavor, but there are some differences between these Guanzhong sheep...I'll have someone send you two later..."
Pang Shanmin smiled, kept writing, and said: "Ziyuan is pure and filial, and he is really a role model for us... I would like to thank Mr. Huang..."
"Ah haha..." Huang Chengyan laughed, "We are all one family, you're welcome... By the way, where is Kong Ming? Why didn't you see Kong Ming? Didn't you say you were here?"
"Follow Han Sheng to the school grounds..." Pang Shanmin replied while still reviewing the text. Pang Shanmin married Brother Zhu's sister, so naturally they can be considered a family. Zhuge Kongming has been living under Lushan for the past two days.
After that, I came to Wancheng to relax.
"Okay, then you can get busy. I'll go to the school grounds to have a look..." Huang Chengyan saw that Pang Shanmin was really busy, so he was embarrassed to interfere with it. Besides, his seniority was higher than that of Pang Shanmin. If he hadn't really found nothing,
The old fellow of the same generation boasted that he really would not go to Pang Shanmin, so he stood up and said something, then refused Pang Shanmin's offer to see him off, and wandered towards the Wancheng school grounds.
That's right, aren't the Chinese people generally like this?
Just like Huang Zhong also had a relationship with Fei Qian and Huang Chengyan because of his own children, and also had the current position of the commander-in-chief of Wancheng...
Huang Zhong had always been in dire straits because of his child's problems, but later because of Zhang Ji's treatment, his condition gradually improved. Although due to long-term illness, his body was weak and he was unable to inherit Huang Zhong's martial arts.
But at least he survived, and he could get some glory with the Huang family, and study the scriptures with Zhuge Yi under the Lushan Mountain, which was considered a blessing after all the hardships.
A large area in the west of Wancheng City, occupying almost one-fifth of the city, is used as a school ground.
Huang Chengyan turned to the corner of the street, looked up, and couldn't help but laugh out loud. He saw two and a half-year-old boys standing at the gate of the school ground, looking up, unable to get in through the door, looking pitiful...
…
"What's wrong? Han Sheng won't let you two in?" Huang Chengyan looked at the two and a half young men happily and said, "Nephew Ping, why don't you wear more clothes... And you, why are you still so thin?
?Have you eaten the sheep sent a few days ago?"
"I've seen Mr. Huang..." X2
Zhuge Liang and Huang Ping greeted Huang Chengyan together. Zhuge Liang's voice was crisper and brighter, while Huang Ping's voice seemed a little hoarse, perhaps due to years of coughing.
Huang Ping's body is a little weak, and he has improved somewhat in the past two years. However, his complexion is still not very rosy, but at least he can move around freely, which is already very good.
Zhuge Liang on the side looked like a man carved from pink and jade, his clear and dark eyes seemed to reflect the turbidity of the world, and his green clothes actually gave him an aura of being out of the world.
"Let's go, let uncle take you in..."
Huang Chengyan was about to exercise his authority, but was stopped by Zhuge Liang. "Mr. Huang, you must not break General Huang's Liuying rules because of this kid... Besides, General Huang also said that after routine training, he will lead me
Wait until the two of them enter..."
"That's it..." Huang Chengyan hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Zhuge Liang and Huang Ping seemed to be willing to wait outside the school grounds, he said, "Okay then, just wait, uncle will wait with you... Alas, there weren't that many before.
The rules were no longer that... After Han Sheng got a military code from Ziyuan, there were more rules..."
"The generals of the hussars are the best in the world. Naturally, they have strict military laws and regulations... Among the dogs, the cavalry army wins nine times out of ten. The general hussars can use them freely, which is also the beauty of elite soldiers..." Zhuge Liang said clearly.
, seems to reveal some admiration.
"In the land of Guanzhong, the powerful Han Dynasty's elite cavalry, thin people in front and behind, hunting on the left and right..." Huang Ping also sighed, "I don't know what a majestic scene it is..."
Huang Chengyan laughed again, and then said: "Nephew Ping, want to go to Guanzhong? Then you have to eat more and practice more, at least you have to be able to mount a horse... Nephew Zhuge, you also need to eat more, it's too much
Too thin, too thin..."
Huang Ping didn't say anything, but Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Actually, Liang doesn't want to go to Guanzhong either..."
"Haha...ah?" Huang Chengyan thought he heard wrongly and couldn't help but confirm again, "Nephew Zhuge, what did you say? You... don't want to go to Guanzhong?"
