The suburbs of Anyi are completely different from those of Luoyang.
After all, Luoyang City is still the capital. Even in the suburbs, there are still people coming and going, but the suburbs of Anyi are completely different. After walking three miles, there are no cars and horses anymore, and there are only a few scattered pedestrians.
, very deserted.
The official road was relatively smooth, and Fei Qian and a team from the Huang family led 20 soldiers slowly along the road to the east.
The fields on both sides of the road looked peaceful and beautiful. The green seedlings planted in the fields sprouted young green leaves. Occasionally, a few butterflies flew by and danced in the spring breeze.
Some farmers were tidying up their fields and removing weeds from the wheat seedlings. They looked focused and serious, and basically ignored Fei Qian and his party walking on the road.
This at least proves one thing. At least there have been no military incidents in Hedong County during this period, so the people are so peaceful...
Both of Jia Qu's suggestions were very good, which surprised Fei Qian.
It turns out that Fei Qian called Jia Qu to discuss matters, not because he really wanted to get any good advice from Jia Qu, but just like what later generations often did, he would ask new employees to sit down and have a drink from time to time.
Tea, then asking about life, asking for advice, etc. It is not that I really want to ask for advice, but to express an attitude, a gesture of regarding Jia Qu as one of my own.
Unexpectedly, Jia Qu could be said to have given Fei Qian some unexpected surprises.
I don’t know if Jia Qu himself realizes that, in fact, Jia Qu himself has a keen talent for grasping the key points of complicated affairs. First, when chatting with Fei Qian, he caught Fei Qian’s slightly casual attitude when asking for strategies.
, and then asked another key question about the number of soldiers recruited.
After that, he suggested a plan and a person to Fei Qian. The most interesting thing is that Jia Qu said it through a chat, without any intention of claiming credit for the suggestion.
This is very interesting.
In later generations, Fei Qian also encountered a lot of things in the office. He also saw many smart newcomers, but they were not hired for a long time. One of the situations was that when giving suggestions, these newcomers were either too direct.
, or keep talking about it...
Not taking credit does not mean there is no merit, but if you keep taking credit, it may end up being useless.
Although Jia Qu is not old, it seems that his mind and this keen talent have the beginnings of a counselor...
Thinking of this, Fei Qian couldn't help but laugh twice. He found a treasure. This is almost the feeling.
Realizing that Fei Qian seemed to be in a good mood, the Huang family team who were following Fei Qian took a half-step forward and said: "Fei Shijun, this... I went to Huang Junhou yesterday and wanted to advance some money, and then
Huang Junhou asked me to go directly to the envoy to tell him..."
Fei Qian briefly looked back at the team leader of the Huang family, and had a slight impression of him. He seemed to be a guy who liked reading. He would read books and scrolls when he had nothing to do, and he didn't pick out books. He just read whatever he had...
…
"Oh, why are you asking me? Shuye should be able to handle it." Fei Qian said a little strangely.
Captain Huang smiled sheepishly and said, "I've already made an advance, so..."
"Huh?" Fei Qian turned half sideways and said, "If I remember correctly, your name is Huang Xianliang, right?"
"Yes, Mr. Fei Shi."
"Can you tell me how much money you spent on your last advance?"
Huang Xianliang said: "The last time I went to the city... I saw a fragment of a handwritten scroll. I couldn't hold it back for a while, so I borrowed some money from someone to buy it. Then when I returned to the camp, I advanced some money and paid it back..."
Fei Qian chuckled. Books are not cheap these days. Even hand-copied fragments of commercially available books cost from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. "What about that fragment? Do you have it with you?"
Huang Xianliang answered, took out a thin book wrapped in cloth and handed it to Fei Qian.
Fei Qian smiled slightly, but it was hard to tell that this person was still a book lover. He opened the cloth, glanced at it, and frowned.
The book is a good one, Chun Qiu Zuo Shi, but the character is too awkward. It looks like a child from a wealthy family copied the book and ruined it...
Fei Qian flipped through the book and found that there were indeed some mistakes. There were not many omissions, mainly typos. Fei Qian closed the book, rewrapped it and handed it to Huang Xianliang, "How much did you buy this book for?"
"Two thousand three hundred yuan. It turns out that the bookstore owner wanted to ask for three thousand yuan..."
"Then when you advanced money and food this time, did you read another book?"
"Yes... the shopkeeper said that he happened to find a handwritten book, which was followed by this one..."
Fei Qian let out a laugh. He was really unscrupulous. He had obviously split the original book into two and bought it. He said it was a coincidence. "You don't have to go to the bookseller. I have this book. I'll take it later."
Return it to me after you finish copying it."
Huang Xianliang was overjoyed and was about to dismount and kowtow to Fei Qian in thanks, but Fei Qian held him back and asked, "Do you like reading?"
Huang Xianliang was still in a state of excitement. He couldn't hide his joy when he first spoke, but the more he spoke, the more lonely he became. "Yes, Mr. Fei, although my family was poor when I was young, when my father passed away,
I like reading very much, and I hope I can read more books, but it’s really hard to find just one book..."
While he was talking, he suddenly saw a small farmhouse on a hill at the corner of the road. The front yard was not big, with only three tile-roofed houses. There should be a backyard, but it was invisible from this angle. Use
The door made of wood has not even been painted, revealing reddish-brown lines. Only the big house in the middle is paved with tiles, and the houses on the other two sides have straw roofs, which looks very simple.
If Jia Qu is right, this is probably the Ma family he mentioned.
The group of people approached the small courtyard. Fei Qian and Huang Xianliang got off their horses, walked to the door of the farmyard, and knocked the door gently.
The sound of dogs barking came from the courtyard, and then a questioning voice came out. It sounded like a middle-aged man with a strong voice.
"On the way, County Governor Fei Qian and Fei Ziyuan are here to visit!" Fei Qian reported his official position and name. Although the long list of official titles above his head seemed quite impressive, Fei Qian felt that he still didn't need to be there all the time.
It's on my lips all the time. Maybe it's like Liu Da'er, who was extremely embarrassed when someone said "I can't remember that long".
"Go to the Sheriff?" The people in the courtyard seemed to be stimulated by these three words. The sound of urgent footsteps could be heard as they stepped forward. With a creak, the courtyard door opened and a middle-aged man walked out.
The middle-aged man is about eight feet tall and quite majestic. His complexion seems to be bronzed due to constant exposure to the sun. He has a square face and a messy beard on both sides of his hair.
When the middle-aged man saw Fei Qian, he was stunned for a moment, and then his somewhat eager eyes turned cold, "Are you the Sheriff?"
Fei Qian cupped his hands and said, "That's right. Is this Maduliao's house?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "There is no longer a general from the Liao Dynasty here... The people in the countryside do not know the etiquette, so it is not convenient for them to entertain the nobles. I'm sorry, the nobles, please go back."
"
After saying that, he bowed and returned to the small courtyard. He closed the door and blocked Fei Qian and others from outside!
Fei Qian and Huang Xianliang looked at each other, both a little dumbfounded. What is going on?
Why does Lao Wang Cao have migraines?
Because when Lao Wang Cao was volunteering to help, he always had to turn his head and pay attention to whether there was any official news outside...
Turning your head all the time will lead to poor blood flow on one side, especially when you are doing high levels of activity...
