Early the next morning, Zhao Jun, who had just gotten up and washed up under Qing'er's service, suddenly learned that Li Wei, the guard of Liaoyun Pass, had come to see him.
It turned out that when their group came in yesterday, someone immediately conveyed the news about their group to Li Wei, but it was already too late.
Secondly, Li Wei didn't think about whether he wanted to see this Prince Yun.
He was a border general, and all dynasties had tabooed the generals in the court getting too close to the vassal king, let alone the fact that he was the guard of Liaoyun Pass, and the other party's fiefdom was outside his own.
The relationship between the two is still relatively sensitive.
After thinking about it all night, Li Wei finally thought that the other party was a prince after all. If he passed by his territory but did not go to see him, it would be hard to talk about it. In short, someone would definitely talk about this matter.
If we meet, the identities of both parties are somewhat sensitive and are not suitable for contact. What should we do?
In the end, Li Wei made a decision, that is, to go and see him in public, and then leave as soon as he is done. With so many people sitting at witness, he was not afraid of the nonsense of those bitch officials in the court who like to gossip.
That's why today's scene happened.
Zhao Jun met with the guard named Guan Guan on the first floor of Feiyun Restaurant. He was a very strong, dark and fat man, but it could be seen from his smart eyes that this man was not as honest and honest as he appeared. .
The emperor will not let an honest and honest person guard the pass here. When it comes to the entry and exit of the pass, the emperor will choose a smart person as the guard.
In public, the two of them talked to each other for a while. Generally speaking, it was Zhao Jun who was praising and Li Wei who was being humbled. It was considered a normal contact.
Both of them were satisfied with the final result. Li Wei paid a visit to him, a passing prince, and he also carefully looked at the guard of Liaoyun Pass.
Without staying too much at Liaoyun Pass, Zhao Jun and his party began to pack their things and prepare to leave after meeting Li Wei early in the morning. Li Wei promptly delivered the supplies ordered in the morning and did not have too much contact with the party.
The team walked for a day and finally arrived at Huaibei County, a city in Liaobei County.
Huaibei County is not big, just a small city like a county seat.
What surprised Zhao Jun and others who were passing by was that when they walked in the city, there were almost no people walking on the streets. The entire county seemed like a ghost town without a single person passing by.
Zhao Jun frowned and asked Wang Huai'en to go and find out. But before Wang Huaien left to find out, Yuan Lijie gave the answer.
He looked at Zhao Jun in a funny way, and he felt baffled before he began to explain: "Your Majesty, originally there were more than 30,000 people in Huaibei County.
It's a pity that there was a severe drought last year. Many people could not survive and migrated to other places. Logically speaking, the most critical time has passed. Even if some people stay in the local area, most people will return to where they grew up. hometown.
But not long ago, Yunzhou County was recruiting people, and people from your yamen even went to the county town to promote it.
The common people who had been running away all started running away as soon as they heard the conditions you gave.
Nuo, Your Majesty, King Yun, look at it, it’s amazing that there are only a hundred or so people left in Huaibei County now, so it’s no wonder that there are no pedestrians on the road. "
After a long time, it turned out to be his fault. Zhao Jun acted like an ostrich honestly and pretended not to hear Yuan Lijie's explanation.
After all, the order to gather more people back as soon as possible before the end of the welfare period was indeed given by him, so he had nothing to say.
Everyone stayed in Huaibei County for one night and left the next day. It's a bit funny to say that when we stayed at the inn yesterday, there was only one person working inside and outside the inn, the shopkeeper.
Ask him where the other guys are?
The shopkeeper's answer was to break through the barrier.
Speaking of breaking through the barrier is a new word that has recently emerged.
The reason is that people who can't survive heard that they can survive as long as they can pass through the Liaoyun Pass, so gradually people call it the pass through the pass to those who come out of the pass.
After walking for another four or five days, the group finally left Liaobei County and arrived at Nanyang County, not far from Bianjing.
Nanyang County is located between Bianjing and Liaobei County. Before Yunzhou County was annexed, Nanyang County was the main force supplying military supplies to Liaobei County.
A large amount of goods came from all over the world, gradually developing Nanyang into a big city. In addition, Nanyang's location and historical background, and there was a large amount of land in the county, so Nanyang gradually became the northern part of the empire. It is an economically important county, and its capital, Nanyang City, is the most economically important city in the north. I don't know how many wealthy families are located here, and there are also many local ones.
After leaving Liaobei County and entering the territory of Nanyang County, everything suddenly became different.
The pedestrians coming and going on the street really gave people a glimpse of the population that a normal county should have.
On the surrounding streets, there were people wearing coarse linen clothes, but not many. There were more gorgeously dressed businessmen and wealthy families.
It can be said that this is the foundation of the northern giants, so the entire city is extremely prosperous.
The group of people first found a place to stay. Before it was dark, Zhao Jun took Qing'er and Wang Huai'en and the three of them went to Dongshi in Nanyang County.
The East Market does not just refer to a certain market in a city, but the places where all middle and lower-class people in the entire Song Dynasty trade are collectively called the East Market. Luxury goods like those that wealthy families want to buy must go to the West Market.
"Wang... er... Master! You see, this mask is really interesting. I heard that the stall owner is from Tianfu. You see, this mask actually has a mechanism. You can change your face with just one press. How interesting!"
Walking on Dongshi Street, feeling the smoke of fireworks around him, Zhao Jun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This place made him feel like he was back in Yunzhou County.
The kind of beautiful life where you have nothing to do all day long, playing chicken and fighting dogs.
While shopping, the group of three people looked at everything around them curiously. Nanyang County was indeed an important city in the north. Zhao Jun originally thought that with the development over the years, Yunzhou City was no worse than outside.
But today, when he met the Dongshi of Nanyang County, Zhao Jun understood what it meant to sit in a well and look at the sky. The goods from all over the country gathered in Nanyang County were much more than those in Yunzhou County, and the patterns were a lot more novel.
A few people were watching intently.
suddenly!
boom! Thumping!
Suddenly there was a commotion in the crowded market.
Before Zhao Jun could see clearly what was happening, a body as gentle and fragrant as soft jade rushed into his arms.
Zhao Jun lowered his head in confusion, and met a pair of pitiful and watery big eyes.
"Young Master, they want to force the slave family into prostitution. They also ask the master to take pity on the slave family and save the slave family once. The slave family is willing to offer themselves a pillow to repay the master!"
Zhao Jun was stunned. What the hell is going on?
Are there any people who throw themselves into their arms?
There were so many people on the street, why did they rush into his arms?
Zhao Jun watched as several men who looked like brothel thugs were approaching in the crowd, which showed that what the woman said must be true.
But seeing the slow manner of these brothel guys who were approaching, Zhao Jun narrowed his eyes suddenly, with a smile on his lips, he looked down at the woman who was still being nice to him, and suddenly asked: "How do you want to spend the night?" How much silver?"
"Eighty taels!"
The woman blurted it out without thinking, obviously she was used to it.
But the moment she said it, the woman's face suddenly turned pale.
…
Let’s see if there is a chance to add an update today. Let’s start with a chapter.
