Dark clouds without rain is a kind of illness. Dark clouds have appeared since last night, but they are just hanging over Chengdu without moving. When they got up in the morning, the couple lay on the window sill and looked at the sky melancholy. The cloudy and rainy days were very unfavorable to the Yun family.
, we were supposed to collect silkworm cocoons today, how could the silkworm farmers transport the silkworm cocoons in such weather?
At this time, the silkworm farmers, just like the people in Guanzhong, want to grab the farming season, but the people in Guanzhong are robbing wheat, while the silkworm farmers in Sichuan are robbing silkworm cocoons. At this time, the silkworms are dormant, and once they wake up, they will bite them.
Silkworm cocoons transform into butterflies.
This word sounds beautiful, but it is the enemy of silkworm farmers. The bitten cocoon is of no use. Once the summer silkworm spins a cocoon, it must be sent to the silk reeling field to pickle the cocoon with salt, and use salt water to kill the bacteria in the cocoon.
Silkworms can then cook their cocoons and reel them into silk.
The sky was overcast, the air was filled with water vapor, and the blue mist slowly overflowed from the mountains, as if monsters were coming out of the mountains to cause harm to the world.
"Where did the monsters come from? In the early years, all the monsters were killed by Zhang Daoling. Now there are monsters. It's a joke." Yun Zheng comforted Lu Qingqing, who was anxious. In fact, his worries were all pretended. Let his
It is what any good husband must do to follow his pregnant wife's mood.
Lu Qingqing pointed at the sky and cursed, and Yun Zheng used all his strength to drag her away. If God got angry and started thundering, his children would suffer. At this time, Yun Zheng was very concerned about these things.
However, he soon cursed with Lu Qingqing. Old Liao came over to report that the magistrate's office had sent a letter asking the head of the family to pick up the official at Shiliting. Originally, Yun Zheng didn't care and said with a smile that he was not feeling well. These false courtesy were not enough, but the magistrate
The official at the Yamen said that they appointed Du Yuhou to take over the post because it was Bao Zheng who came.
"Husband, you still have to go. The people of Kaifeng Mansion cannot be offended." Lu Qingqing comforted her angry husband.
"That black-faced old thief, I thought he would go back to Kaifeng directly, but who knew he would come directly to Shuzhong? You don't know, I scolded him on Qinfeng Road, and he is here to make trouble, but I am the creditor, he
What can you do to me? Take five thousand guan to buy my 2,500 war horses. This is obviously robbery. In the end, I took out a golden phoenix hairpin of the queen as a hairpin. I can make one with just one tael of gold.
,Does my wife need to take someone else’s old hairpin?”
Lu Qingqing, who originally listened to her husband's complaints with a smile, changed his face slightly when he heard five thousand strings. When he heard that there was a queen's golden phoenix hairpin, he immediately forgot about the gloomy sky outside and the clouds above his head.
She asked him to pick up the official and bring back the hairpin. She was waiting to wear it.
Yun Zheng, who was suffering from internal and external troubles, had no choice but to wear a cloak made of oilcloth, ride on a horse with Han Niu and Monkey to pick up the official at Shiliting. The war horse ran wildly in the morning wind without using a whip. The war horse also knew that the weather was bad and that on the road
No one ran away recklessly.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at Shiliting. Zhang Fangping was already waiting there. When he saw Yun Zheng coming, he waved him over. Zhang Fangping was now very satisfied with Yun Zheng.
Some young people may be smart, but they do not have extraordinary perseverance and cannot bear hardships. This is a common problem among most smart people. However, he did not see this problem in Yun Zheng. When he went to inspect Jiazi Camp, he often found
Seeing Yun Zheng running in the military column covered in mud and water, whether he was running, carrying weight, practicing strength, or wielding a sword, he was meticulous. As long as he was in Jiazi Camp, he could not see anything different between Yun Zheng and ordinary soldiers.
different.
Sharing joys and sorrows is the easiest and most difficult way to integrate into a group. For this reason, Zhang Fangping firmly believes that the youth army he launched will definitely become a strong army.
"Since your wife is pregnant and it is her first child, I will stay in Chengdu Mansion to take care of her during this period. It is not easy for your brothers to come out of the wilderness. Nowadays, the lintel of the gate is as important as the inheritance of the family line."
Zhang Fangping saw that Yun Zheng was not happy, so he naturally knew the reason and deliberately avoided talking about it, and just kept comforting her.
"Ming Gong, I don't want to see Bachelor Longtu. You are making things difficult for me."
"That's nonsense. Official business is official business, how can it be confused with personal relationships? Bao Longtu is an upright person and the most open-minded. I have heard about what you did on Qinfeng Road. Fortunately, Bao Longtu is an open-minded person. Try it with someone else.
Boy, please remember that although there are different political opinions in the court, there are also personal relationships. If people question your moral character, you will not be able to gain a foothold in the court.
When I was the Yushi Zhongcheng, I offended too many people, so I was sent to poverty. Now that I think about it, I was also at fault. I just need to change some things in a different way.
I didn't want to offend anyone, but I didn't do it well. I forced my opponent into a corner with no room for maneuver, so when I was unlucky later, no one spoke up for me.
Since discussing politics has the meaning of consultation, it means that everything is negotiated. Blindly acting forcefully will only hurt others and yourself, and it will not be beneficial to the political opinions you insist on. Remember, you must not do it in the future.
Speak evil words."
Zhang Fangping was educating Yun Zheng. Such words were not often heard. Yun Zheng quickly leaned over and thanked him. Zhang Fangping was clearly teaching him like a student. Regardless of whether it was correct or not, he must thank others.
Seeing that Yun Zheng had listened to his words, Zhang Fangping nodded with satisfaction and said, "As long as you are not proud and go one step at a time, your future will be brighter than mine.'
At this point, Zhang Fangping, an old man, blinked and said softly: "The rain has already fallen. Bao Longtu is still five miles away. You know exactly how powerful the heavy rain in Sichuan is. When you see Bao Longtu,
It’s absolutely impossible to laugh at Long Tu’s unlucky appearance. I heard that his broken carriage was leaking from all directions. It’s probably not possible to stop the rain like this.”
Yun Zheng chuckled, and quickly walked behind Zhang Fangping and continued to listen to him tell Bao Longtu's various poor old stories. The colleagues around him also laughed together. This year's business tax and agricultural tax in Shuzhong have all been paid, and the remaining
At least 40% of the autumn taxes will go into the Chengdu Prefecture's own pockets, so everyone is full of expectations for a good year this year, and naturally they will flatter Zhang Fuzun in every possible way.
There was no thunder, but the heavy rain fell without any warning. The heavy raindrops beat on the tiled surface of the pavilion like dense war drums. The cool breeze gathered water vapor and rushed into the pavilion. The hot weather suddenly disappeared.
Tan Ma emerged from the rain curtain, and kept reporting the location of Bao Longtu to Zhang Fangping like a drowned rat. Yun Zheng wanted to ask about Lao Bao's embarrassment, but Zhang Fangping glared at him, so he stood aside and shook his fan desperately.
.
Lao Bao's guard of honor arrived, but it wasn't really a guard of honor anymore. Those holding signs, shouting, and escorting were all in a mess, tightly surrounding a dilapidated carriage, which was covered with tarpaulin.
It was obvious that this was an official car, and the flag representing the emperor's trip was wrapped around the flagpole, soaked by the rain.
Just when Zhang Fangping stood up and was about to walk into the rain to greet Lao Bao, he heard Lao Bao laughing in the carriage: "Brother An Dao, wait a minute, Brother Yu has been soaked anyway, so don't come over and suffer this fate."
Zhang Fangping still smiled into the rain and said: "Brother Xiren has traveled thousands of miles to come to Shuzhong, Fang Ping'an dares to neglect you." Looking back, seeing Yun Zheng not moving, he frowned and kicked Yun Zheng's calf.
, and then walked into the heavy rain without hesitation, and the officials behind also walked into the rain.
Yun Zheng rubbed his knees and looked at a group of idiots walking into the heavy rain without even holding an umbrella. He sighed and walked into the heavy rain. He didn't know why. Lao Bao said that he didn't want others to suffer, but why?
If he doesn't come down quickly, he is just waiting for others to greet him. There is nothing he can do. He is an angel and has this power.
Following Zhang Fangping, he looked like an idiot at a group of people chatting in official accents in the heavy rain. Yun Zheng raised his head to look at the sky and wiped the rain off his face. In a short time, his clothes were soaked through.
The rainwater trickled down his spine and finally poured into his calves and into his boots. Every step he took, he made a gurgling sound, which was very powerful and embarrassing.
Lao Bao screamed and jumped out of the carriage. His beard was all stuck together by the rain. He didn't show any of his previous majesty. Yet he still had to hold Zhang Fangping's hand and exchange greetings in the rain. It was awesome.
Being able to greet his master while using warm eyes to take care of his colleagues who are surrounded by the rain is a skill that Yun Zheng doesn't think he has.
The warm gaze turned as sharp as a knife when it came to him. This was a difference in treatment. Yun Zheng felt that standing in the heavy rain to greet Lao Bao had given him a lot of face. If it weren't for the fact that his wife wanted to show off the queen's golden phoenix hairpin,
, you won’t come here even if you beat yourself to death.
Lao Bao might not want to talk to a low-level official like Yun Zheng, so he comforted and greeted several high-ranking officials in Chengdu Prefecture on behalf of the emperor, and then invited Zhang Fangping to go to the official reception pavilion to change clothes.
I have no experience. Everyone else brought a change of clothes when they came, but I didn’t have suitable clothes. Han Niu’s clothes were too big, so he had to take them off to the head of the house. Yun Zheng disliked the smell of this guy and was unwilling to wear them. They were monkey’s.
The clothes are too small, and if you put them on, you will be looked at like a monkey, so I don’t want to.
After these people changed their clothes, they sat down again as guests and hosts. The servants offered hot tea. After drinking two cups of hot tea, Lao Bao cupped his hands in the direction of Kaifeng and said: "I am visiting Sichuan on behalf of Heaven. I have three missions this time.
First, Your Majesty really wants to know the national economy and people's livelihood in Shu, and I need to see the real scene with my own eyes and then compile it into a book.
Secondly, His Majesty has agreed to the Youth Army's initiative, but there is considerable resistance. His Majesty believes that the scope can only be carried out within the Wu Sheng Army and should not be expanded or publicized. Only when results are achieved can he decide whether to implement it as a whole.
Thirdly, His Majesty attaches great importance to the suppression of bandits in Bazhong. Whether the Maitreya Cult in Sichuan can be captured in one piece is a standard that reflects the ability of officials in Sichuan. I am appointed as the inspector and cannot relax. (To be continued)
