Chapter 1108 Changes (2)(1/2)

The messengers and their entourage changed from the government office, put on regular clothes, and dressed up as a merchant from Handan who came to Juyan to do business.

Then I found a village nearby and leaned over.

Before he could approach the entrance of the village, there were about a dozen young men wearing leather armor and long swords riding on horseback, full of vigilance, and the leader asked, "Who is coming?"

"In Zhang An, Xia Handan, came to Juyan to do business, passed by a precious place, and wanted to ask for saliva..." The messenger bowed with a smile: "I don't know if you can do it?"

"From Handan?" The young man riding a horse looked at the messengers and his party. Although he was still a little suspicious, he obviously put down his vigilance and put away the sword in his hand. However, the person in charge suddenly asked, "Is there a talisman?"

"Take it with someone and make a registration..."

"Transmission of the Talisman?" The messenger was stunned for a moment. When did Juyan actually check the Talisman here?

He was ordered to go to Handan and Luoyang many times to convey the emperor's orders.

In his impression, it seems that only by entering and leaving the fortress of the big city can one have to check the talisman.

I usually pass by villages and counties, and I don’t need to pass on talismans at all.

The young men suddenly drew their sword again when they saw the messenger's dazed expression. Everyone squinted their eyes and stared at the messenger and others. The messenger even found that someone had touched his hand into his arms and took out something like a whistle from it, and was about to put it into his mouth.

When the messenger saw this, he hurriedly said, "There is a talisman! The talisman has a talisman!"

He took out a piece of object made of dozens of bamboo long pieces from his arms, searched it out, then took out a bamboo talisman, handed it over, and said with a smile: "Please look, please see, this is the talisman issued by Handan Wei..."

The young man in the lead took the bamboo talisman with doubts, took it in his hand, and then read it: "The second son of Zhang, the Zhang family in Zuolü, Handan, is seven feet and two inches long, has white skin and a round face, and has a mole on his forehead..." While reciting, he checked his identity characteristics. After confirming it, he waved his hand and said to the person behind him: "Relieve the warning!"

"No!" The young people behind them agreed and put away their swords and whistles.

Then, the leader bowed to the envoy and said, "The gentleman of the Zhang family is in the jurisdiction of Yanduwei, and is in the village of Jiaqu, and is ordered by the Qiangfu in Xiawangda. For this reason, the village chief was very negligent before, so I hope the gentleman will be forgiven..." Then he returned the bamboo talisman to the envoy.

The messenger laughed, took the bamboo talisman handed back, and asked, "I dare to ask the village chief, why do you want the bamboo talisman?"

Wang Da smiled and bowed to the north and said, "The gentleman doesn't know anything. This is the order of General Yang of Ying: Those who go in and out of villages and cities, regardless of the origin, should check their talismans, record their names, and record their entry and exit times. It is better to order. The village official whips thirty, the rose man fines three golds, and the flogger fifty..."

As he said that, he waved behind him, and someone immediately ran over with a pen and ink and a roll of bamboo slips.

Wang Da laughed and looked at the messenger and said, "All the masters of the Imperial Palace come to register, report their names and hometowns..."

The messenger heard this and was shocked and asked, "What is Juyan?"

Wang Da nodded: "Everything is true!"

He turned over and got off the horse, took the bamboo slips and ink brought by a young man, then spread them open, holding the pen in one hand and dipping it ink, and then started recording.

It was also at this time that the messenger discovered that this person named Wang Dali was a disabled person.

He had two fingers missing on his left hand, and his legs seemed to be a little unsteady when walking.

In addition, the messenger also discovered that there was a hideous scar like a centipede in his exposed right sleeve.

The scar is so deep that even though it has healed now, his arm muscles seem to be separated.

Obviously, this Wang Da is a disability in the standard sense of inability to work!

The two fingers lost by his left hand had already made him unable to hold objects like a normal person, and the terrifying scar on his arm was enough to make his entire right hand unable to use force, and at most he could only engage in the most basic daily life, dress and eat.

High-intensity work is inevitable.

Wang Da discovered the expression of the messenger, and he did not avoid it, nor did he look inferior. Instead, he rolled up his sleeves very openly and exposed the scar on his right arm to the messenger's eyes.

It was a wound that was three or four inches long, deep along the side of the right arm into the muscles at least one inch. It may have cut open blood vessels and muscles!

The messenger immediately formed a picture in his mind. On the battlefield, an enemy raised his sword from the side or slashed at Wang Da with a weapon similar to a sword. At an emergency, Wang Da subconsciously raised his right hand to block it without having time to dodge. So the enemy's slash directly slashed on his arm, immediately breaking his muscles and blood vessels. Fortunately, his enemy's weapon was not sharp enough, or his arm had an arm guard at that time, otherwise... his entire arm would have been cut off!

"Are you a military member?" asked the envoy.

"Well..." Wang Da sneered: "I have been a soldier for Li Guangli..." He called out Li Guangli's name without hesitation: "But that's all in the past. Now I am no longer a soldier, and I can't be a soldier..."

The messenger listened and was stunned. Li Guangli... although it is no longer as glorious as it used to be.

But no matter what, they are the Marquis of the Great Han Dynasty and the top powerful people.

Seeing the messenger's surprised expression, Wang Da was no longer surprised.

He squatted on the ground, held a pen, and began to record the number of people in the group of messengers, the number of chariots and horses, and the physical characteristics.

The messenger clenched his eyes and glanced at him. He found that the words written in the capital of the king were crooked, many of which were typos. Even if the words written correctly, they were missing strokes.

Obviously, his writing ability needs to be strengthened!

After Wang Da finished writing, he looked up and saw the messenger's appearance. He smiled silly and said, "I'm just laughing at Zhang Junzi. I've only been learning literature and literacy for three months. This handwriting is indeed a bit ugly..."

"Three months..." The messenger was shocked: "You have never been to elementary school before?"

"When I was a child, I had money to go to elementary school?" Wang laughed: "It would be great if the children in Qian's first family can eat enough!"

Speaking of this, he bowed his hand toward Juyan: "Does the general Yang, Zhang Gong, don't abandon me, teach me to use documents, give me responsibilities, and give me clothes so that I can know the day when I know the law and learn the orders!"

When the messenger heard this, his eyes became even more surprised: "What do you mean... General Ying Yang taught you?"

Wang Da heard this and immediately laughed: "What a hero General Ying Yang, how can I have that honor to get the general's personal advice?"

"I just had the honor of listening to Professor Ming Gong under the general in the three-day literary class..."

The messenger was even more confused.

I don’t understand at all, what did Zhang Chiyou do in Juyan?

But I didn't ask much, so I had to smile and bury this doubt in my heart.

However, Wang Da put away his pen and ink and handed over the registered bamboo slips to a young man who looked only in his twenties.

Then he said to the messenger: "Now, the registration has been completed, and the guests can follow me to enter the village..."

"It happened that the children in the village had hunted wild pigs yesterday. If the guests don't dislike it, they can come to my house for some wine and meat..."

"How can you be so embarrassed?" the messenger laughed.

Wang Da said with gaze: "Customers can eat with confidence. There are not many nearby areas in Juyan, so you can still have enough wine and meat!"

The messenger immediately became curious: "Where are wine and meat here in Juyan?"

You know, even in the inner county, even in Chang'an, no one dared to pat his chest and say: "It's enough wine and meat."

No one dares to entertain guests with wine and meat at will.

When relatives in Chang'an come, they may not have meat to eat!

Wang laughed and said, "The guest didn't know anything. General Ying Yang had an order to order each other to block the beacon towers, scouts, militias, and to hunt down wild pigs, hares and other genus..."

"Since the beginning of spring, all the beacons and beacons have responded to the general's orders. The young and strong villages have entered the mountains to hunt wild pigs and rabbits..."

"For ten months, the meat of rabbits is available every day..."

Although Juyan has been developing for 20 or 30 years, over the past few years, Juyan’s main goal has been to fight foreign countries rather than operations.

Juyan's agriculture is basically rough farming and relies entirely on the weather to make a living.

Basically, all the young and strong went to join the army, and no one cared about the wild boars and rabbits in the mountains and forests.

Because of the existence of human activities, beasts such as wolves, tigers, and leopards were almost driven away.

As a result, wild boars and rabbits flooded the Juyan and Junji Mountains.

So much so that wild boars often go down the mountain, eat people's crops, and even hurt people.

However, because Juyan's main energy was to fight against the Huns, these wild boars and rabbits would just organize the hunt and kill them once when something happened.

There is almost no real scale and organized purge.

Until that Zhang Chiyou took office, he elevated the threat of wild boars and hares to Juyan's top priority.

Not only mobilize the people and militias, but also launch hunting and killing activities.

He also ordered the army to be hunted and used as a training task.

This season is the breeding season for wild boars and rabbits.

As a result, the Chinese New Year was celebrated in all parts of the world.

Every day, people can hunt wild boars and rabbits.

In some villages, you can hunt pork and rabbit meat in one day that can be eaten for one month in the whole village.

In addition, the government also organized the people to fish and hunt.

Catch fish from streams, lakes and rivers that scatter over Juyanze.

Fish are also seized in wetlands, lakes and streams in various places.

Juyan's rich natural resources have been thoroughly developed and utilized.

As a result, the stomachs of the people of Juyan were suddenly filled with meat, so that they could make some old grains into wine.

Especially the method of brewing Chiyou wine that was circulated from General Yingyang's mansion has spread throughout Juyan in the past few months.

This kind of wine with spicy taste, mellow taste, and long aftertaste is not like the turbid wine in the past. It is distilled by fermenting the koji wine, so it is also called white wine.

This kind of wine became popular among the military and civilians of Juyan.

Even the Huns, Loulan and Cheshi came to buy them at high prices.

A stone of Chiyou wine can even be exchanged for a bull or a horse from the Hu people.
