Zao Zhi came to Yecheng and had been staying at the inn for three or four days.
I would like to see the General Chariot and Cavalry. Sorry, may I ask your name and what position you hold?
Yingchuan Zao family?
What is Dian Nong doing in Shangjun?
The clerk in charge of the reception received Zao Zhi's greetings in a serious manner, and then said with a smile that he would forward it to the cavalry general. Then as soon as Zao Zhi left, he threw it aside and never looked at it again.
What the hell?
Shangjun?
Is this county still targeted by Dahan? Hasn’t it been abandoned long ago? I don’t have enough education, so don’t lie to me!
Besides, he is neither from a famous family nor an important official in the imperial court. What kind of person is the chariot and cavalry general? How can he be seen by unknown people like you if he wants to see him?
Yecheng is worthy of being the administrative seat of Jizhou and is extremely prosperous.
Zao Zhi once again came out of the concierge at the west side of the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion. He looked back and felt a little helpless. As for the main entrance of the Chariot and Cavalry General's Mansion, haha, let's not think about it...
The Cheqi General's Mansion is shorter in the east-west direction and longer in the north-south direction. It is located in the north of the city. It was actually the original government office of Jizhou Mu. Of course it is now owned by Yuan Shao. The General's Mansion occupies a quite large area in the middle of the north of the city, almost
It extends from the Cross Street in the city to Yongyang Gate in the north.
In the general's mansion, there are halls for offices, large and small rooms, a vestibule for receiving officials, and a backyard lined with trees and birds singing and fragrant flowers. The carefully carved eaves and corners are faintly revealed on the wall, showing the wealth of the Han Dynasty.
and glory.
In the north of Yecheng, in addition to the Yongyang Gate in the north, two new gates were opened, namely the Guangyang Gate in the east and the Fengyang Gate in the west. Between these two newly opened gates,
In addition, a piece of land with an area of about half of the original Yecheng has been circled, and large-scale construction is under way...
Of course, they are building a new government office for the cavalry general Yuan Shao, as well as some residences for Jizhou's leading figures. Therefore, Ye City is now actually divided into two parts. One is the newly built north area of the city, which is called Ye North City, and
The original Yecheng was naturally Yenan City.
The post station is located between Xihua Gate and Qianmen in Yenan City. It is also the residence of some ordinary grassroots officials. In the east of the city, near Shangchun Gate and Zhongyang Gate, there are large markets with many merchants and
Where are the stores located?
As for the south of the city?
Sorry, Zao Zhi has never been there. The south of the city has always been a slum area.
In fact, basically as long as it is a formal and large city with a large population, the specifications are almost the same.
Although Fei Qian did not require Zao Zhi to complete it within a certain period of time, and the farming work in Pingyang area had basically come to an end, Zao Zhi still felt that it would be better to finish the work early and return to Bingzhou early.
Although Yecheng is very prosperous, but for some reason, Zao Zhi still feels a little uncomfortable and uncomfortable.
Maybe I really have to go find Xu Ziyuan.
well.
Zao Zhi shook his head, wandered back to the inn, took out a pen and paper, wrote a new letter, put it in his arms, and walked out of the door again.
For the generals of chariots and cavalry, it is natural to pay homage, but for other people, a famous assassination is enough.
I never thought that I, the dignified Zao Zijing, would become such a person...
× × × × × × × × ×
Xu You was not in a very good mood during this period. When he returned home from the office, he had a straight face and no smile at all. After getting off the carriage, he asked the housekeeper to get some supper, and then went to the back with his sleeves rolled up.
Hall.
After entering the back hall, Xu You looked around and felt a little better.
Xu You studied when he was young, but many scriptures were treasures within the wealthy family and would not be easily read by others. As a last resort, Xu You took some treasures from home and exchanged them for the opportunity to read them.
Although this kind of behavior could be regarded as an elegant thing among the scholars of the Han Dynasty, this kind of behavior also became a problem for him later.
Now, although Xu You no longer needs to exchange treasures for books, he still subconsciously collects some treasures...
In the back hall, naturally there are some treasures that Xu You collected in Jizhou during this period of time.
Xu You's favorite thing is to look through the various collections in his home. This is almost always the happiest thing for him. Basically, as long as he has some time, he will carefully wipe the treasures in his collection, and then put them under the light.
After watching it for a long time, you will be relieved to rest. Sometimes you will even fall asleep holding it in your arms to have a good dream.
When the butler served the supper, he also put Zao Zhi's famous thorn aside and said softly: "Today, a young talent from Yingchuan came to visit and offer wine, and he specially left his famous thorn here..."
"Young talent?"
Xu You frowned and said nothing.
After Yuan Shao accepted Jizhou Mu, he assigned some official positions.
Xu You was worshiped by Yuan Shao as the shepherd of Jizhou and engaged in wine worship. If we talk about the level of his position, it was pretty good.
The person with the highest position under the Prefectural Mud is naturally Biejia, but the position of Biejia cannot be granted to Xu You, and even a person from Yuzhou cannot obtain it.
The reason is very simple, Yecheng is in Jizhou.
In order to win over the local nobles in Jizhou, the general of chariots and cavalry naturally only people from Jizhou could hold this position.
Others are engaged in official duties, and the one with the highest status is called engaged in sacrificial wine. Xu You is in this position.
It sounds good, but in fact, the person who is engaged in sacrificial wine has no actual jurisdiction. The book cao is still in charge of money and food, and the merit cao is in charge of the selection of officials. But he, who is in the name of offering wine, can't control anything.
…
This is exactly what Xu You has been feeling very unhappy about recently.
But Xu You didn't realize that his reputation when collecting these treasures would allow people to trust him with money, food and personnel assessment?
Xu You may not have thought of it, but he may have avoided this question subconsciously.
"This handwriting is pretty good..."
Xu You casually opened the name badge with one hand, and accidentally dropped something like a letter from the name badge. Xu You lowered his head and glanced at it, but didn't care. He first squinted and carefully looked at the birthplace and surname on the name badge.
He murmured: "The Yingchuan Zao clan...well, it doesn't seem like a big family..."
He deliberately put it aside, but after smacking his lips twice, he picked up the letter again and scanned it up and down. Suddenly his eyes lit up, he loudly called the housekeeper, and asked with his name: "Where is this person?"
?”
The housekeeper of the Xu Mansion lowered his hand and replied: "I have gone back...but I said I would come back tomorrow..."
Xu You nodded, smiled, and said: "If this person comes tomorrow, and if I haven't come back yet, I must keep him! Don't neglect him!"
Although the housekeeper didn't know why, he still agreed.
After the housekeeper left, Xu You carefully read the letter sandwiched in the letter again, pondered for a while, and then chuckled, with several crow's feet appearing on his face with squinted eyes...
After Yecheng came into the hands of Cao Cao, it was renovated again and the famous Bronze Bird Tower was built...
Yecheng is as important as Xudu...
At that time, among the entire gentry circle in the Han Dynasty, one was Yuzhou and the other was Jizhou...
The population base is large and there are many noble families...
