When Brother Su saw Zheng Anping suddenly asking about Zosan, he asked, "Why does Brother Zheng want to see Zosan?"
Zheng Anping said: "I have been living in Guanyi for a few days, and some people call him a hero of loyalty and righteousness. If you judge someone by words, you will lose him; if you judge someone by appearance, you will lose Ziyu. Maybe you should see him."
The city lord said: "I was forced to leave home three years ago and have not returned yet."
Zheng Anping said: "If you can find it convenient, you can send a messenger to tell your confidant."
The city lord said: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the commander-in-chief."
Zheng Anping said to Brother Su: "There are a lot of construction projects in the ruined city. Brother, do you want to see it? I have been there for a few days to see the foundation of Brother Su's house."
Brother Su said: "That's exactly what I meant."
The two of them said goodbye to the city lord and each called their followers. Brother Su revived his younger brother, who also had no scientific name and was only called Wu'er. The two were Ling Hewei who were in charge of the city, and they lived in two wing rooms on both sides of the hall. When other people come in the future, they will have to live in the wing room.
The two came out with their entourage, crossed the bridge, and entered the abandoned city. Zheng Anping took Brother Su to the high platform and overlooked the entire construction site. Sure enough, the second house foundation had begun to take shape. Zheng Anping said: "The territory in the city is very huge. It is the capital of the motherland. It must be unlimited as a county. I want the posthouse to be built in the city. What do you think, brother?"
Brother Su said: "I see that the old foundation in the city is not too small, so we will build on the old foundation. It will do less work but get twice the result. It can be done. But the choice of post officials..."
Zheng Anping said: "Brother Su is the Guanwei. The choice of post official will be decided by Brother Su. My brother has no one to choose."
Brother Su said: "Liangxi Station has already selected five people, and I will choose five more people. It may be difficult for me to be elected."
Zheng Anping said: "The post station is not ready, so the candidate does not have to take office. Brother, it is okay to see it. Guan Yi hangs alone outside the city, and thieves work in public. No one but a brave warrior can take the post. Although they are called post soldiers, they are actually officials."
Brother Su said: "Brother Zheng, I have seen you clearly. I should look for him carefully and he will definitely be accepted."
Zheng Anping said: "There are many houses in the city. If they are idle and useless, it is better to use them for profit."
Brother Su said: "How can we benefit from it?"
Zheng Anping said: "Many counter-roads were built and warehouses were built for the convenience of merchants."
Brother Su said: "It costs a lot to build large-scale construction projects. How can we get such wealth and people?"
Zheng Anping said: "If you build it casually in the name of repairing the city wall, how can it be done? As it is now, they build the Nanguan Pass openly and build the houses secretly with hundreds of people. If you don't do anything wrong, you will have more success."
Brother Su said: "If my plan goes well, our city will be prosperous."
Seeing that Brother Su had been moved by his words, Zheng Anping became more confident. The next step is to discuss the location of the post house with Brother Su. Since Mr. Lu had already built four official residences on the foundations near the fourth gate, if they wanted to build a post house, they could only build it next to that official residence. Since there is a river to the west, the general direction for pedestrians is to enter from the south gate and exit from the east gate. The south gate was the mansion of the governor, and it was inconvenient to build a posthouse next to it, so he decided to build the posthouse next to the east gate. The official residence in the east gate is reserved for Xiaosi. They decided to discuss it with Xiaosi before making a decision.
The third person to arrive is Xiaosi. He also brought a cart full of corn, as well as his armor and crossbow. However, he had no entourage and arrived alone. Seeing that Zheng Anping and Brother Su had both led their entourage, they felt very unsatisfied and said: "The city has not yet been established, so we must first have the spirit of a doctor!" In order to appease him, Zheng Anping took him to pick out a few things after he had packed his things. A wing room that he was satisfied with.
At the invitation of the city lord, the three of them entered the lobby together to discuss the governance of the city.
First let’s discuss setting up a post station. Unexpectedly, Xiaosi was very enthusiastic about this. Not only did he agree to the suggestion of setting up the post station next to his residence, but he also proposed that if there was no special candidate, he would be willing to serve as the post manager!
Xiaosi's proposal was difficult for both Zheng and Su to understand. Because a post official is only equivalent to a team leader, and Xiaosi is now serving as a team leader, which is two levels higher. It would be inappropriate to let go of the team leader, and would rather become a post official, which puzzled the two people, but it was difficult to ask, so they could only answer vaguely: "The post building will probably be a year old, and it will not be too late to discuss it next year."
Xiaosi had no interest in governing the local area. He agreed with Zheng and Su's proposals and made no suggestions. Many people felt bored. Zheng Anping said: "It's still early, let's go to the abandoned city and watch the house construction." Brother Su also felt that there was no good program, so he could only agree. Xiaosi is indispensable. Since Xiaosi had no entourage, Zheng Anping and Brother Su did not bring any entourage to avoid upsetting Xiaosi. Wuwang couldn't bear the idle time and asked to go to the wasteland outside the city to clean up the wasteland. Zheng Anping had no choice but to agree and took Wuwang to the wasteland outside the south city, leaving Wuwang to clean up the wasteland. The three of them entered the city and climbed to the high platform to watch the progress of the construction.
The construction of the second house foundation has come to an end. The gentlemen took the hemp rope and rules and were busy on the first piece of house foundation. Zheng Anping and the others discovered that this time someone took pebbles from the river and piled them on the construction site.
Zheng Anping watched the construction process with great concentration, but Brother Su, especially Xiaosi, was obviously not interested. After Zheng Anping noticed this, he could only give up and follow them around the city and outside.
The banks of Jinshui River are bare, and there are few houses on both sides of the river. Xiao Si said: "I came from a big country to a small town, and I feel aggrieved. Now the houses are unprepared, and there is not enough food and fodder, so we all rely on our old home. And our old home is a hundred miles away, so it is really difficult to deal with the urgent needs. It is the hometown of a big country. , people gather together, and whoever is in need can be helped by many. Now that I am living in a small town, if something happens to me, who can I rely on, but the five of us rely on each other as our life ears!"
Only then did Zheng Anping and Brother Su understand the reason for Xiaosi's unhappiness. It turned out that he left the prosperous Daliang and came to a remote countryside. From the densely populated city to the desolate suburbs, Xiaosi felt a deep sense of loss. .
Zheng Anping felt deeply powerless. He didn't think there was anything good about the densely populated Daliang, but he felt that Guanyi, a sparsely populated city, could do something good. He advised the fourth child: "Although Guan Yi is remote, Guan's old capital is located in all directions. If he is not more than ten years old, he will definitely become a commoner. It's the right time for the four brothers to take the credit. I'm not happy about it!"
Xiao Si said: "I am always lazy, unlike my brothers who have great ambitions. I only hope that I can eat porridge and sleep comfortably, and don't have to work hard and have trouble sleeping and eating."
Brother Su also advised: "It is righteousness for a husband to establish his career and make contributions. In the past, although he had his ambition, he did not get it at the right time. Now that the time is right, how can he fail to fulfill it? You should do your best and show your embrace."
Xiaosi said: "Brothers are all heroes, and they will surely be able to command thousands of armies and win decisive battles. But this is not the case for my younger brother. It is disgusting to say that there are only fifty armies instead of thousands of armies. If I hadn't felt the admiration of Brother Zheng, it would have been difficult for me!" "
Xiaosi's statement surprised both Zheng and Su. Zheng Anping inquired cautiously: "Does the fourth brother have anything he likes?"
Xiaosi said: "According to my brother's wish, I can live with my brother and others back in Liangxi Posthouse, and be on duty every day. After that, wouldn't it be great to have a good meal and sleep? How can I leave the prosperous city and go to a poor country?"
Brother Su said: "In terms of the blessing of being well fed, Guan Yi is the better one. Which one? Guan Yi has few affairs, but if there are any problems, leave them to Brother Zheng and Mr. Cao. We are now chatting freely. Wouldn’t it be great fun!”
Xiaosi said: "As Brother Su said, things can still be done. However, the king of Wei granted the administration to Lord Xinling, so his ambition is not small! Lord Xinling is the lofty ideal of the world. He can lead heroes and spread benevolence and righteousness to the world. , it goes without saying what the intention is. The brothers have been recruited by him, and his energy is as high as if he has achieved his ambition; his face is as bright as if he has found a wise king, and he wants to die for it. This brother cannot understand. "
After Xiao Si said these words, the three of them were silent for a while. Zheng Anping said: "It's true what the fourth brother said. The King of Wei granted fifty miles to the king, and his intention was not to govern a city. To govern a city. The conflict between Han and Wei is among the world. If you gain it, the world will move. If you lose it, it will be hijacked by others. If Lord Xinling gets it, if he can protect it, he will be a wise king in the world; if he cannot, he will be abandoned by the world. We and others We are humble, we are the same as dung. If we live, we will be nameless, and if we die, we will fill the ditch. At the right time, we can rely on the wind and clouds to show our talents. If we succeed, we will live a life in vain. If we fail, we will not live in vain. If you dare not go alone, I hope all brothers will help you. I!"
Brother Su said: "That's what Brother Zheng said. As humble concubines as we are, we deserve to meet you every time we meet, and we won't do anything wrong. How can we not risk our lives in order to succeed."
Xiaosi suddenly cried loudly and said: "The evil in Guanyi is like this! In the land of the four battles, there is no danger and no soldiers to rely on. But without its advantage, it is just like dung; if it is advantageous, it will be everywhere. When it comes, your body will die and your life will disappear, just like the dust. If you advance, you will die, and if you retreat, there will be no comfort. Brother, how can you be so happy?"
Zheng Anping invited the two of them to sit on the ground by the river. After a long time, he pointed to the river and said: "Among the three of us, Brother Su has lived in Daliang for a long time and has a stable foundation. We live like duckweeds without roots, filling ditches day and night. Turn into dust. Just like my brother was conquered by the doctor, he died several times. All the brothers were also wounded several times. Brother Ma died and has been buried in the ground. Do you think it is safe for the four brothers? If it is difficult to wait, what if the body is dead and the name is destroyed? With a mighty blow, life and death are determined, and wealth is in the sky. But if we become brothers from all over the world, how can we take them seriously!"
Brother Su said: "Although I have lived in the suburbs of Liang, my brothers are luxuriant, just like grass, trampled on by others, abandoned by others. There are six people in my family, and only three hundred acres of land. It is difficult to eat and sleep well. Today's book With Brother Zheng's strength, I can get a younger brother, and I hope to have a hundred acres in Guanyi, and maybe have a little food and clothing. If you accumulate merit and save a little, you will be very lucky!"
Xiao Si said: "Brothers say that they all have great ambitions. For example, my brother has fifty acres of land, and he can survive with a little tillage. He has half money and half gold, and there is no shortage of clothes. He has enough to eat all day long, but he has no intention of doing anything, and he is as sweet as the grass and trees... …”
Brother Su interrupted: "If the four brothers are willing to share the grass and trees, why should they abandon Guanyi and go to Daliang? He must have some intention."
Xiao Si actually blushed and murmured: "What's the point? Daliang is prosperous, but Guanyi is remote. People want to be high, but water is low, so they want to go to Daliang and abandon Guanyi."
Zheng Anping glanced at Xiaosi meaningfully and said: "When Daliang is prosperous, there must be something to enchant the soul. How can the fourth brother give up his soul?"
Brother Su also understood the mystery and said, "Who dares to tell me?"
Xiaosi said: "Who is it! I'm talking to you rightly, and you laugh at me..."
Zheng Anping said: "You must dare to laugh. This important matter cannot be left unsaid and it must be accomplished!"
