Eight hundred and eighty-sixth chapter Fan Yang Lu
(Thank you very much to ‘Luanxxingchen’ and ‘Lone Hero’ for their generous support and monthly ticket support.)
When Liu Ziming heard this, he nodded repeatedly, thinking, Sir, your eyes are still bright, this Du Ruhui is really talented.
Wang Junlin also nodded approvingly, but he did not praise Du Ruhui. He had ordered the spies of the Blue Guards in Fanyang County to further inquire about the information. Although what Du Ruhui said was very reasonable and logically reasonable, it still had to wait.
Further confirmation will be made after the message is sent.
At this time, Shan Xiongxin's voice came from outside: "Sir, there is an urgent report from Fan Yang."
The four-wheeled carriage that Wang Junlin was in was two or three times the size of an ordinary carriage. Early this morning, Wang Junlin asked Nie Xiaoyu to take his three apprentices and rush to the martial arts guild branch in Fanyang County in advance to contact and gather the martial arts people in Fanyang County for backup.
, and Chen Danying and Shen Guoer were in the carriage behind, so the carriage was quite spacious, so Wang Junlin asked Shan Xiongxin to come in as well.
Wang Junlin sat in the middle facing the front of the carriage, while Liu Ziming, Shan Xiongxin and Du Ruhui sat on both sides.
After Wang Junlin read the contents of the emergency report, he glanced at Du Ruhui and said, "Keming was right. After the main force of pirates left Haiping County, they went to attack Fangcheng County. They cut off the connection between the three southeastern counties and the county seat.
connect."
Du Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When he said this last night, he was not 100% sure. Now that he was right, Wang Junlin's heart naturally increased.
Wang Junlin did not tell the rest of the news, but handed the urgent report to Liu Ziming. After reading it, the latter looked at Du Ruhui with surprise and said: "The pirates have robbed something and have retreated on their own initiative, but what they robbed is
The places they plundered were Fangcheng County, Rongcheng County, and Haiping County in the southeast of Fanyang County where the Lu family was relatively weak in Fanyang County. The wealthy families in these three counties who had a moderate or conflicting relationship with the Lu family were the ones plundered by the pirates.
Although the subject was not exterminated by pirates this time, he suffered heavy losses, and when the pirates left, they kidnapped dozens of direct descendants of the seven major wealthy families in the three counties, including Liu, Sun, and Han."
After telling the rest of the information, Liu Ziming looked at Du Ruhui with admiration, thinking that this guy was right again.
"Shan Xiongxin, send a fast horse to pass the order to Xiaoyu, asking her to lead people to find a way to rescue the direct descendants of the seven powerful families such as Liu, Sun, and Han from the pirates." After Liu Ziming finished telling the information, Wang Junlin already had a plan and a plan.
Continue to respond.
…
…
A few days later, Wang Junlin's convoy finally arrived at the boundary of Fanyang County. It was less than 20 miles away from Gu'an County, the westernmost part of Fanyang County. Gu'an County had not been affected at all by the pirate raids in the past few days. This was of course because
He was in the far west, separated by two counties before reaching the seaside. Another reason was that this was the territory of the Fanyang Lu family.
"You two, what do you think of what you saw along the way?" After Wang Junlin entered the boundary of Fanyang County, he rode on a blood-maned horse. Liu Ziming and Du Ruhui, who could also ride horses, accompanied Wang Junlin. Shan Xiongxin led six
Swordsmen and hundreds of guards gathered around.
Liu Ziming and Du Ruhui looked at each other, and the latter motioned for Liu Ziming to speak first. Liu Ziming was not polite and said: "As we got closer to Fanyang County, I found that there were a lot of people walking on the road, especially merchants.
But it is different from Guanzhong and Central Plains."
Du Ruhui continued: "Xiaguan grew up in Guanzhong. After his family fell into decline, he left Guanzhong to serve as an official, but he is still quite familiar with the area around the capital. Now I see that the wealthy people in Fanyang County are no less than the land of Guanzhong at the feet of the emperor.
"
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "You are right, but do you know that there is an endless stream of merchants in Fanyang County, and the wealthy people are not weaker than those in Guanzhong? What is the reason for this?"
Du Ruhui and Liu Ziming looked at each other again, shook their heads at the same time, and said in unison: "I don't know, please let me know."
Wang Junlin said with a rather complicated expression: "Fanyang County is so wealthy, with a population of 100,000 households, mainly due to the Lu family..."
Before Wang Junlin took office, he naturally inquired about the situation in Fanyang County in every possible way, especially about the local emperor Lu of Fanyang County in detail.
The Lu family of Fanyang came from the surname Jiang. They were descendants of the Qi State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. They received the surname Lu because of the fiefdom of Luyi. The ancestor Lu Ao was once called by Qin Shihuang to be a doctor of the Five Classics. He moved to Fanyang and his descendants moved to Zhuoshui (now Hebei Province).
After Zhuozhou), he settled in Zhuodi and made Fan Yang the commander-in-chief.
Lu Zhi, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty, became famous for his Confucianism and established his foundation. Lu Yu of the Three Kingdoms ascended to Sikong of the Cao Wei Dynasty. Later, Lu Qin, Lu Jue, Lu Zhi, and Lu Chen held high positions. By the time of Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Lu Xuan was the first to respond to orders.
", after entering the imperial court, the Lu family became the first-class high-ranking family in the north. Together with the other six powerful families, they were known as the Seven Sects and Five Surnames. Among them, these five surnames were "Wang Cui, Lu, Li Zheng" (in fact, these five surnames only refer to the northern family).
square, not the whole country).
After the split of the Northern Wei Dynasty, wars continued frequently and the political situation was turbulent. The Fan Yang Lu family was hit hard and their official positions were not prominent. Some members joined the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties. Until Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, more than a dozen people from the Lu family held high positions in the court and local governments.
Important position.
In addition, when it comes to marriage, the Lu family of Fanyang attaches great importance to family marriage. The marriage circle is generally stable among the Cui family of Qinghe, the Zheng family of Xingyang, the Li family of Zhaojun, and the Li family of Longxi. Intermarriage with the royal family was frequent during the Northern Wei and Northern Qi periods.
Compared with the Li family in Longxi, the Lu family in Fanyang, like the Wang family in Taiyuan, is based on Confucianism. Since the ancestor Lu Ao was summoned by Qin Shihuang to be a doctor of the Five Classics, there have been great Confucian scholars in every generation. Now the head of the Lu family, Lu Bian, is a great Confucian at that time.
He once served as a minister of Huangmen in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and led the writings, and later became the governor of Yizhou. After Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, he retired and returned to his hometown. While focusing on running the family, he supported the next generation of his children and grandchildren to enter the court and local officials.
Because this Fanyang County is a seaside salt brine land, agricultural development is hindered. The Lu family adapted measures to local conditions and advised the people to weave women's skills. Using their craft skills and the benefits of fish and salt, they vigorously developed land and sea trade routes. After many years of accumulation, Fanyang County
The commerce and trade was quite developed, much more prosperous than most counties at the same period.
Precisely because the people have benefited, and the Lu family has been practicing Confucianism for generations, and Confucianism is the best at winning over the people, the Lu family is quite prestigious in Fanyang County. It is no exaggeration to say that they respond to every call. Even Yang Guang has heard about it.
In Fanyang County, people only heard about the Lu family but did not know that there were many unruly people in the emperor.
As Wang Junlin explained the information that he had consulted and inquired about in advance, Liu Ziming and Du Ruhui's expressions became more and more solemn, and they gradually gained a clearer understanding of the enemy they were going to face in Fanyang County.
The three people talked about the situation they might face in Fanyang County, and gradually arrived at Gu'an County, the westernmost part of Fanyang County...
Although the imperial court did not stipulate how many distances subordinates must travel to welcome their newly appointed superiors, according to the custom of this era, it was at least ten miles away to welcome them.
No more, no less, just ten miles away from Gu'an County, Wang Junlin saw a dark group of officials from a distance, waiting eagerly for the arrival of their motorcade.
At this time, without waiting for Wang Junlin and his carriage to approach, these officials stepped forward to pay homage to Wang Junlin.
