A raindrop stretches across two continents and flows eastward across the world.
However, it is hard to find all the remaining characters, and they travel far away with wind and thunder.
When Xiao Han stood on the deck of the ship, looking back at this familiar but unfamiliar beach.
On the beach, there were also many people waving goodbye to him.
Among these people were villagers from Weijia Village, the county magistrate Wang Mengcai, and many people from the county town who came after hearing the news.
"Brother Xiao! When I grow up, I will go to Chang'an to find you!"
On the beach, Xiao Wei's eyes were red!
He tried hard to control himself and not let the tears fall, but in the end, it was still in vain.
Big tears were already running down his tanned face!
"Okay, stop crying, it's unlucky!"
Behind him, the old village head of Weijia Village stretched out his hand, wiped a handful of Wei San's face, and said with emotion: "Master Xiao Hou is a good man. You also hope that he will be safe and have a smooth journey, right?"
"Well! I, I won't cry!"
Sure enough, when he heard the word "unlucky", Xiao Wei San immediately wiped his red eyes hard, and at the same time, a smile appeared on his face,
It's just that this forced smile doesn't look much different from crying.
The big ship was still traveling far away, when it was only a small black dot in everyone's sight.
A rather simple-looking two-wheeled carriage, even the wheels were old and new, also drove here along the bumpy road.
"Hey..."
Seeing the people on the beach in front, the old servant driving the cart hurriedly pulled the reins and stopped the thin horse pulling the cart.
Afterwards, I saw him getting up, standing on the shaft of the car and looking into the distance for a long time. Then he turned back helplessly and said to the car: "Master, we are late, people have already left!"
"oh?"
After the old servant finished speaking, a tired voice came from the carriage.
Immediately, the patched blue curtain in the carriage was slowly opened, revealing the middle-aged man sitting inside.
This person looked quite tired, and his face was a bit unnaturally sallow.
On his body, he was wearing a starched and somewhat white official robe, but even so, it could still be clearly seen that this official robe turned out to be a red robe symbolizing a fifth-grade official!
A dignified fifth-grade official was actually wearing such a shabby official robe! The car he was riding in was also a dilapidated car with a thin horse! There was only an old servant beside him, not even an entourage!
If this were told, probably not many people in the Tang Dynasty would believe it!
One year to clear the prefecture, one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver!
In this era of officialdom, let alone a dignified fifth-rank official, even a seventh-rank county official like Wang Mengcai, as long as he wants to! Rich clothes! High horse frame! Even gold and silver mountains, it is not difficult.
!
And if the fifth-rank official in front of him has made himself so shabby, and his every move cannot keep up with the better people, then there is no doubt about his identity!
He is: Governor of Shandong, Ma Zhou!
"Hey, I didn't expect that we are still a step late!"
After struggling to get out of the carriage, Ma Zhou rubbed his sore waist and smiled bitterly at the sea in the distance.
He had just finished measuring the land in Qingzhou a few days ago. Thinking that it was not far from Xiao Han's place, Ma Zhou submitted a post and wanted to come over to Xiao Han to discuss the matter of returning the land to the public.
After all, the new policies Xiao Han told him at the beginning really gave him a lot of inspiration and made his next work much easier!
Unexpectedly, when he came this time, he just arrived in Anping County when he heard people in the county say: Xiao Han and the others may have to leave today.
As a result, when he heard the news, he immediately turned around and hurried to the beach, but he was still a step too late!
That person still left.
"Sir! According to my old servant, it's not that we are late, but that boy named Xiao is deliberately avoiding us!"
When the old servant who drove the carriage saw the disappointed look on the owner's face, he couldn't help snorting and said: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? We just sent a greeting card on the front foot, and then he left by boat?"
"Hey! Be careful what you say!"
Compared with an old servant who is still very temperamental at his age, Ma Zhou is also a stone in a pit, smelly and hard!
However, after this period of various battles with officials, common people, and landlords and wealthy households, Ma Zhou, who used to only work hard, became less sharp and more sharp without even realizing it.
The vicissitudes of life are smooth.
At least, at this time, he has learned to look at problems from other people's perspective?
Instead of being like before, as long as you have the so-called "truth" in your hands, you won't sell anyone's face. If you stand in the way of others, you will kill, and if you stand in the way of Buddha, you will kill Buddha...
"Hey, after all, he is also the so-called vested interest. It is really difficult for him to help me!"
Recalling the new words he used when talking to Xiao Han, Ma Zhou could only helplessly shake his head at this moment.
Yes, he is a Marquis of Sanyuan County, and he also has a daughter of Princess Lantian. He owns countless lands and is a big landowner among big landowners!
But what he wants to do is to measure out all the land in the world, especially the land of big landlords like Xiao Han, and then take it back to the state!
The two themselves are opposite to each other!
Don't say that Xiao Han's consciousness has not reached this level yet!
Even if Xiao Han is willing, his class will definitely not agree!
In this way, do you want people to betray their own class and help him? So that he can take away their own land?
Only Ma Zhou could figure this out!
"That's it!"
Sighing deeply, at this moment, Ma Zhou suddenly felt like he was fighting alone, as if everyone in the world was going down the river, but I was the only one going up the river!
However, the loneliness and loneliness that happened to him quickly passed away!
Instead, it is still the same strong and indomitable momentum that is like a sharp sword!
"Even though people in the world laugh at me, bully me, slander me, and humiliate me! But I know! Your Majesty also knows! Everything I do now is right! Only if I do all this well can the Tang Dynasty survive forever.
, so that Chang'an can truly have long-term peace and stability!"
"grown ups……"
A sonorous and powerful word came out of Ma Zhou's mouth. The excited old servant couldn't help but burst into tears and choked up while speaking!
This kind of Ma Zhou was the Ma Zhou in his memory! This was the Ma Zhou who wouldn’t give up for five buckets of rice! This was the Ma Zhou who was like a sharp sword, cutting through all the monsters and monsters!
"Okay! Let's go to the Anping County Government Office after we go back! I want to see what kind of person the Zhongzhou chief official recommended by Xiao Hou is! In my memory, Xiao Hou seems to have never promoted any officials."
