In Zhuoxian County, the sun is shining brightly, and the ancient trees are a little listless. Many withered yellow leaves have fallen off, and they have fallen onto the loess ground, allowing pedestrians to step on them.
Looking down from a restaurant in front of the market, today is the semi-monthly market day, and the city is very busy.
Villagers from all over the country came to attend the market, and many businessmen from out of town came.
Two horse dealers, Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang, were stranded here due to banditry in the south. Yu Jian opened a small horse market, and I heard that the sales were pretty good.
The drought that lasts for a month is lucky to be in autumn, and it is a big crisis in spring and summer. But if the weather remains unchanged, the drought will get slightly better this year, and will worsen year by year in the future...
Anyone who cares can see that with the current situation of production and disaster relief, troubled times are inevitable.
"Actually, if Zhang Jiao comes out, the Yellow Turbans will break out in the spring and March of this year. But even if the Yellow Turbans don't come out, the farmers who lost their land and were affected by the disaster will have to rise up in rebellion. Many famous lower-level canal commanders, such as Cheng Yuanzhi, still seized the opportunity.
, come to the fore.”
Ye Qing thought this as he slowly drank the wine.
The taste of Hanjiu in the mouth is a little soft and bland, and some of the wine residue has not been filtered out and sinks deeply to the bottom of the cup.
Ye Qing glanced at the drinkers who were drinking from large bowls of wine, thinking that they were not narcissistic... Judging from the current brewing technology, the degree of alcohol was not high, and it would take an extraordinary person to get drunk.
Ye Qing ignored the drinkers and focused on the street market below. There was a public list column at the street entrance. The government set up this place for the common people to see. This was similar in later generations. The enthusiasm for the list was a Chinese tradition that lasted for thousands of years.
At the moment, the public list column is empty, with only a business tax announcement posted on it. Not many people are willing to look at it. The recruitment list that Ye Qing has been looking forward to has not yet arrived.
"Information efficiency is really poor in this era..." Ye Qing was a little troubled. After all, he was slowed down by this small section. At the moment, he was just trying to hide it, only telling internal information. It would take a few days for the ranking to be released.
Unfortunately, this is not a problem that Ye Qing can solve at the moment, and the government does not let him have the final say.
Zhou Ling sat opposite with a sword on her back, wearing a black skirt and a white robe outside. She sat quietly with her head bowed, not looking like a knight-errant at all. The wine glass was motionless in front of her, which attracted the attention of the drinkers.
But when one looked at the five-foot-long package on her back, only half of the dark green sword hilt was exposed. The sword of this length looked extraordinary, and it was dark in color and couldn't be a decoration, so no one dared to tease it.
She had been worried about her drinking capacity, but later she realized it was just a joke. As long as it wasn't Ye Qing's evil intentions to persuade her, she would probably not drink.
"All the sages in ancient times were lonely, only the drinkers left their names..." Ye Qing would laugh at her like this, but he would not drink more. He just thought: "Many time travelers are brewing wine, but here and the main world
It’s different. The general environment is short of food, so making wine is just nonsense. Production is withering due to wars, and the situation is getting worse. Cao Cao and Liu Bei both banned alcohol.”
Ye Qing smiled as he thought about it.
At this moment, he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats. When Ye Qing looked over, he saw the horse stopped at the public list, and a golden list was pasted on it...
This is the list of state governors
Many people gathered around to watch, most of them illiterate. Those who knew some words read out intermittently: "Today there is a thief, Cheng Yuanzhi, who has invaded our Youzhou... We are specially summoned..."
Hearing the exclamations from the crowd, Ye Qing's expression perked up. Seeing the traces of yellowness on the list, he couldn't help but laugh, feeling completely dejected - it was finally here.
"Zhang Fei's sworn vows to Guan Yu, the Gan family's marriage, and Zhang Shiping's Su Shuang's promises all depended on it."
It is said that Ye Qing has sent people back to invite his uncle, and he is going to find a matchmaker to marry Gan. They are waiting for the news, because everyone knows that Liu Bei will have a chance only after this announcement.
Moreover, even though ninety murders of thieves were reported, there is still no news. Only after this announcement will dispel many people's thoughts, because since Liu Bei can kill thieves, there will be a time when he will be useful.
"It's just because of this article, I'm afraid dragons and snakes will come together." Ye Qing looked at his luck. In just one day, his luck had changed drastically. It was half red and half white. With this article, it suddenly turned red.
The air seeps out and gradually turns red.
On earth, the real Liu Bei is just red and white at this time. He is far superior to it. I am afraid that the county magistrate is a treacherous person.
Since the night raid on Baiqu, Ye Qing spent three days personally running all over Zhuo County.
This was to explore the environment, power, and industry, and my cousin also followed, which aroused some objections from the Gan family. Although my uncle had already come to the door to talk about it once, the Gan family was also a little tempted, but nothing has happened yet.
The world's restraints on women are not as strong as those of later generations. In some remote places, "mulberry forests and wild unions" are encouraged to multiply the population. However, the family must always maintain a certain dignity. What if they are despised by their husbands?
Things that are hard to obtain are precious. This concept is in line with human nature and has existed since ancient times.
Ye Qing once again gathered twenty subordinates. Non-commissioned officers like Hong Zhou were from slightly better families. Compared with the stimulation of a sudden drop in poverty, a good family background was intoxicating and confusing.
Fortunately, the way of heaven in this world is incomplete and the mystery of the other world is not strong. As soon as I saw Ye Qing, I woke up.
After this wave of gathering, there were a team of thirty-seven people - this was the limit, but the search was beyond the scope of Zhuoxian County, and there were also important figures such as Lu Shangjing and Jiang Chen.
Ye Qing drank a glass of wine and felt a little depressed.
"It's a pity that Qianqian... Lu Shangjing and Jiang Chen haven't been found... they all have a trace of greenness, which is rare in Yingzhou."
"Maybe he can be reincarnated into some historical figures, even celebrities who are now humble and will become prosperous. I don't know for sure. I don't know the specific situation..."
Thinking back on how they got along with each other, and how the king and his ministers got along well with each other, Ye Qing guessed that they were probably not in the county, and they could only contact him in the main world after leaving this month.
It's a pity, but it has to be this way.
"Now we have just started. Even within the Kyushu area, few companies can gather so many people in two or three days. They are all at the level of non-commissioned officers, which is quite a strength... When the official list arrives, we can gather people to answer the call.
When I met Wen Shu, the governor of Zhuo County, I thought that I was a disciple of the great Confucian scholars Zheng Xuan and Lu Zhi, and that I was a member of the clan. I took 300 people with me, and I would definitely be appointed as the temporary garrison commander..."
Thinking like this, I avoided an important corner.
Ye Qing did not touch this corner, and his expression was still a little gloomy. Zhou Ling looked at Ye Qing, and seemed to be able to see an unforgettable figure through the big-eared face. She distinguished it for a while, and sighed secretly based on the impression in her memory.
From his tone, I understood that the young master was worried about Qianqian...
Zhou Ling wanted to comfort her, but she was not good at words and didn't know how to speak.
Just as he was hesitating, he heard Ye Qing's deep and deep voice: "I almost forgot, Lingling, show me this sword..."
"Ah good."
After taking the slender package and untying it piece by piece, Ye Qing's face gradually became strange: "Qing Hong? This sword should have been owned by Cao... Ha, could it be said that the treasure has no owner and a virtuous person can occupy it?"
This is just a small thing. The Han Dynasty was the last generation of swordsmanship and famous swords. The long sword made its final glory before withdrawing from the battlefield. Many lost technologies emerged at this time. It is not surprising that it has the same name.
It is even recorded that in the 20th year of Emperor Xian's founding, Cao Cao got a sword from the deep valley, three feet and six inches, with a gold inscription on it saying Meng De, so he often wore it... This is a ghost thing, most likely it is a good omen made by others, and it is the same as Gaozu
The White Snake Sword is a property.
"It's a good sword, keep it well." Ye Qing pushed the sword back to Zhou Ling and said casually: "When you meet someone in the future, pull out the sword and show it to him to scare him."
"Yes." Zhou Ling sheathed her sword seriously, looked at Ye Qing with concern, and mustered up her courage: "Sir... Sister Qianqian's cultivation is very good, she must be fine."
Ye Qing touched his nose: "Is it so obvious?"
After sighing, he lost interest. He put down the wine glass, slapped ten coins on the table and left. Zhou Ling was stunned for a moment, then followed him. As he walked on the street, among the lively market crowd, there was a faint voice of Ye Qing's lesson!
: "You girl, who am I, Liu Bei, like this? I am...brothers are like brothers and sisters, women are like clothes...what do you think, are you afraid..."
Zhou Ling blinked and shook her head honestly.
At this moment, a horse came running up and rolled on the ground. It was a member of the Zhang family: "Sir, the head of my family has said that the Taoyuan has been prepared. Please come over."
When we finally arrived, Ye Qing smiled and said, "Go there immediately."
He went over immediately and arrived at Zhang's house not far away. As soon as he arrived at Zhang's house, Zhang Fei greeted him, followed by Guan Yu, who looked a little excited.
It is said that if you have learned literary and martial arts, you can have a good fortune in the emperor's family. If you are not appreciated by the nobles, the pearl can only be cast in secret.
In the Han Dynasty, the concept of family and territory was very important, and the natural chasm was as insurmountable. Liu Bei needed Zhang Guan, and Guan Zhang did not need Liu Bei. It was for this reason that the two men immediately bowed their heads and worshiped.
When Ye Qing saw him, he leaned down at the same time and said, "Both of you are older than me, so I should be the first to salute."
"Don't dare. You are the disciple of Zheng Xuan, the empress of the clan, and Lu Zhi, the great Confucian scholar of the time. How dare we pretend to be our elders? Even though we are sworn sworn brothers, you should be regarded as the eldest brother."
Ye Qing declined for a few times before accepting it. He stood at the forefront and went to the backyard.
This is the world-famous peach orchard, but it's not spring now, it's autumn, and it's full of peach trees, probably hundreds of them.
There was only a temporary loess altar. Zhang Fei specially found a black cow and a white sheep, and the incense burner and altar were complete. The three of them stepped forward together, each held incense, and knelt down together to worship.
They kowtowed three times to form brothers, with Liu Bei first, Guan Yu second, and Zhang Fei third. Ye Qing immediately saw the three strands of luck connecting with each other and forming a layer of air.
After bowing to heaven and earth, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei bowed to Ye Qing again: "Meet my eldest brother."
As soon as he bowed, the red air on Ye Qing's head grew intensely, turning red in the blink of an eye. However, the luck of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu not only did not decrease, but increased rapidly. The gray air disappeared and the white air became thicker. In the blink of an eye, the air on Ye Qing's head became red.
The room will turn red, showing that you have entered the body.
"Although they are sworn brothers, they still have the title of monarch and minister. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu want to dedicate some luck to themselves. Moreover, I have Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang as gifts from horse merchants. I have about fifty subordinates and have the merit of defeating the thieves.
There are marriages in the Gan family. Taken together, we can only say that they are almost the same."
"It can be seen that although Liu Bei was the nominal master back then, he was still at a disadvantage sometimes. It will not be until he develops in the future that this situation can be changed."
"But now, it's completely different."
"Not only does it complete the story of the three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, but it also does not block the luck, this start is far better than Liu Bei's."
