Chapter 104 The Wind Rises (1)
In Shanyang City, on the late autumn day, there is a comfortable and leisurely atmosphere.
Last year, from the summer to autumn, there was a great disaster. However, the Turkic troops were bound to reach the northern edge of the Sanggan River Valley. Although Shanyang City was also suffering from conquests and battlefield transportation, it was not ravaged by the Turkic wolf cavalry and its vitality was still alive.
Although the prefect Wang increased its efforts to enlist the countryside and forced the people to live in poverty, almost plundering all the food and fodder within the control of Mayi County. However, with Mayi Yingyang troops in Shanyang, even if the local troubles were caused, the chaos would not spread to Shanyang City.
The stubborn prefect Wang confronted Heng'an Yingyang Mansion under his rule, and his relationship with the Duke of Tang in the south was also tense. However, winter was about to begin, and it was not the season for military use. This year should be able to spend the rest of the year.
In the chaotic world where the Sui Dynasty was about to collapse, even if you spend a year of peace and profit, no one among the people would bother to think more about what would happen next year.
Moreover, as the governor of Mayi County, it generally withered and went bankrupt in the countryside. Xu Gan, a leader of a village, had to send his grandson out to earn money. In Shanyang City, most of the people were related to the officials of the county government, and the soldiers of the soldiers of the Yingyang Prefecture of Mayi. They could share the wealth of the county with the concentrated county. After autumn, the year was approaching its end and there was no risk of war. In Shanyang City, there was an atmosphere of singing and dancing to peace.
Compared with the rough and monotonous border Yunzhongcheng, as the capital of Mayi County, it still has a somewhat prosperous temperament.
Since the turbulent times of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, ethnic groups have been greatly integrated. The world's folk customs have also been much richer. After hundreds of years, it has finally been developed. The wealth from the south of the Yangtze River has been continuously imported into the Central Plains.
The ruling scope of the Great Sui Empire, from the yellow and deserted border to the south of the Yangtze River, has been tempered by hundreds of years of bloody battles, and its wealth has increased greatly compared to the time of the Han and Jin dynasties. In addition, the cultural diversity brought about by national collision and integration should have been the beginning of a new generation of powerful empires, which will bloom the most brilliant fireworks in medieval history.
Although this empire collapsed inexplicably and was about to usher in a new round of troubled times, the empire's remains have not yet dissipated.
Even in the county magistrates of the border counties, you can see the Hu girl in the Danglu, dressed in different ethnic groups, and various foods. The officials of the public and the guests of the aristocratic families were feasting with swords in the restaurant, discussing the latest poetry styles from Luoyang, Chang'an. The strong and healthy man led his horse through the street market, preparing to rely on his skills to get a family background regardless of the leader of the family.
It is no different from the end of the Jin Dynasty. When it was facing troubled times, from the ministers to the people, it was desperate, dark, and it was the madness of giving up all hope before destruction.
The Sui Dynasty is about to collapse. From top to bottom, it is still a strong mentality, competing for the upwards, and looking forward to being reborn from the ashes.
Unless this troubled world, for some reason, is so cruel that all these hopes will be destroyed!
For example, in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there were countless opportunities to restore the Central Plains and restore the Han family's clothing. However, due to the internal struggle between the aristocratic families, all hope was completely destroyed, until the whole people's morale fell, almost causing the entire Han civilization to fall into darkness.
The officials and people in Shanyang City did not have so many mysterious thoughts, but relaxed themselves in this rare peaceful day, making the entire Mayi County seat a unique and lively manner.
At this moment, several knights hurried into the northern gate of Shanyang. After being inspected by the Mayi Yingyang soldiers on duty, they waved their hands and let them go.
These knights were covered in dust, covered in mud, dust, and sweat were all over the fur of the horse. It was obvious that they had arrived in Shanyang day and night.
The leader, who was under forty years old and had a smart and capable look on his face, was the one who Liu Wenjing sent that night.
We worked very hard along the way. When we entered Shanyang City and saw such a lively scene, several people felt like they were a different life. Even though we had been in Jinyang City for a short time and had seen the world, we were now like a country bumpkin. We couldn't move our eyes when we looked at the prosperous market and smelled the aroma of wine and meat from the alleys. Everyone rolled their Adam's apple and wanted to have a big meal.
In that ghost place in Yunzhongcheng, the wind, swords, frost and swords are like cutting, and the Hu tribe on the grassland is really not a place to stay. Fortunately, everyone left there early!
The leader looked at the unpretentious appearance on the left and right and snorted: "Don't even think about having fun, we still have something to do! Let's go and find old acquaintances with a lot of people in the city and let go of the news!"
Several subordinates nodded, looking not very enthusiastic. They worked hard all the way and now they have to work. I really feel that the leader is a little unsympathetic to everyone.
A little anger appeared on the head of the head and whispered: "We brothers have to endure these days to find a backer. If we don't work hard at this time, when will we wait? Seeing that Liu Wuzhou doesn't have a noble family, he doesn't have a strong family as his backer. Even if he is sitting on the strong soldiers of Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, he still lives in such a embarrassing manner! The Liu Gong we followed is Duke Tang behind! If anyone dares to delay things, I will stab him first!"
The boss got angry, and several brothers bowed their heads one after another. The leader took out a few bags of money from his arms with a calm face and threw them to his subordinates.
The subordinates took it and weighed it in their hands. There were at least hundreds of Tongbao coins swaying. Everyone suddenly smiled.
The boss planned to delay three or four days in Shanyang, and leave after releasing the news. In three or four days, these more than a hundred Tongbao money were enough for everyone to spend money, and they could find a little orchid with a tartar stuffed every night!
A subordinate couldn't help but ask: "We can understand all this when Mr. Liu wants to provoke a fight between Heng'an Prefecture and Mayi Prefecture. Why did he release the news that Le Langjun was the pioneer of Heng'an Prefecture? This is a rare heroic boy. If he was destroyed by the prefect Wang, it would be a pity."
The boss looked cold and said, "You have to ask more about these things? Mr. Liu ordered, just do it. What do you think so much!"
The man bowed his head and said nothing, and the boss glanced at everyone with a calm face: "What a heroic boy? When I debuted in Mayi, this Le Langjun didn't know where to pee and mud! I went to Jinyang to make a living, and all of them emerged. One day I met, I would let them know how powerful I was!"
The subordinates didn't dare to say anything more, and looked at each other, dispersing and releasing the news. The leader, while the dust on his body, rode his horse towards the most lively place in Shanyang City.
With his connections in Shanyang back then, it takes only one day to release the news. This Lelangjun, who is famous in the clouds, is just waiting for a fire to catch a fire in the backyard!
Why are they all heroes from the countryside in Mayi? As soon as he debuted, he became famous in Mayi, and the young man cheered and encouraged him. And he had to be in the world for many years before he found a head of family to surrender?
This family leader still values this Le Langjun so much!
Why?
