The two chatted for a while, and Jingdong finally found an excuse.
"Zimou, I have two pieces of news. Are you willing to hear it?" Jingdong tried his best to balance his psychology and make himself smile beautifully.
He was in an extremely bad mood and didn't want his mood to be passed on to others.
Yu Rushun was a little confused and could only nod his head: "Mr. Jing, what's the news?"
"Zimou, one is good news and the other is bad news, both are related to you." Jingdong felt calmer and tried to be as calm as possible.
Hearing this, Yu Rushun suddenly became interested: "Mr. Jing, let me hear the bad news first. I can bear it now."
"Zimou, the bad news is that Nanzheng County has been established, but it's only as big as a palm." Jingdong said it in his heart and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss.
Of the three counties under his jurisdiction, only Xi County is a normal county, and the other two counties can be described as a slap in the face.
Yu Rushun was a little confused and asked in surprise: "Where is Nanzheng?"
"Nanzheng is right next to Xixian. Most of it is in the hands of the Hu people, and only a palm-sized area is controlled by the Song Dynasty." Jingdong couldn't help saying sadly.
Yu Rushun said happily: "Mr. Jing, this is a good thing. I thought that the Song Dynasty only occupied Xi County. I didn't expect that it also recovered part of Nanzheng County Already."
"Zimou, do you know that you are the magistrate of Nanzheng County." Seeing Yu Rushun so happy, Jingdong couldn't help but say, "The imperial court just passed the discussion, and the imperial decree should be issued soon."
"Nanzheng County Magistrate..." Yu Rushun's voice just said a few words and suddenly stopped.
He took a breath of cold air and was at a loss, like a clay or wood sculpture.
Jingdong felt the expression on Yu Rusun's face, and felt that his heart suddenly sank toward the valley.
Yu Rushun's face turned red and he soon calmed down: "Mr. Jing, thank you for letting me know."
"It's a trivial matter." Jingdong replied calmly.
"Mr. Jing, thank you for telling me this. I don't know why the doctor came to tell me this." Yu Rushun stood up and bowed to Jingdong respectfully.
The relationship between him and Jingdong can only be described as passable, and the two of them are far from being close friends.
Jingdong returned the courtesy and replied with a smile: "It's very simple, because we will be working together soon."
"Working together, how to work together?" Yu Rushun didn't understand for a while.
Jingdong stroked his beard and said calmly: "Thanks to the love of the officials, I will know about Xizhou."
"I've seen Jing Zhizhou." Yu Rushun was stunned like thunder and lightning, but he reacted very quickly and saluted immediately.
Jingdong shook his head, returned the courtesy, and said with a smile: "The imperial edict hasn't come out yet, so just call it as before."
"No." Yu Rusun bowed his hands.
"Zimou, are you connected so quickly?" Seeing Yu Rushun calm down quickly, Jingdong's eyes widened so much that they almost fell out of their sockets.
Yu Rushun's face looked calm at this time, and he asked calmly: "Mr. Jing, no matter how small Nanzheng is, is it as small as Zhaojiazhuang Town?"
"This, this, seems to be bigger than Zhaojiazhuang Town." Jingdong thought for a while and then answered after comparing.
Zhaojiazhuang Town only accounts for half of Changyuan County, and the Song Dynasty currently controls at least 10% of this territory.
Yu Rushun was extremely solemn at this time and bowed his hands to the sky: "No matter how small the territory is, as a county magistrate, I must manage it well."
"Zimou, you are indeed cultivating your character to govern the country and bring peace to the world." Jingdong bowed his hands in admiration, "But how do you manage such a small territory?"
Another sentence, he did not say how to achieve political achievements.
This not only concerns him, but also concerns Yu Rushun.
Yu Rushun's face was extremely peaceful: "Isn't there still Zhaojiazhuang in Xi County?"
He is Zhao Ping's future father-in-law. Since Zhao Ping can build Zhaojiazhuang Town, Nanzheng County can also be built.
"Zimou, Zhaojiazhuang Town can succeed, but
In the interior, there are no barbarians there. There are half a million barbarian soldiers and horses here. "Jingdong's face turned pale, and his eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
"There are indeed 500,000 Hu people, I admit this." Yu Rushun said calmly, "But why can't they take back the territory of Xixian and Nanzheng, and it is still in the hands of the Song Dynasty?"
Jing Dongxin couldn't believe his ears, it felt like a thunderbolt hit his head, and it felt like someone had poured a basin of cold water on him from head to toe, making his whole body numb.
Jingdong thought for a while and came to the conclusion: "They may be fighting internally, or they may be short of food and grass and temporarily stop the attack."
"Internal fighting, if the Great Khan of the Hu people dies, it is possible." Yu Rushun shook his head and said lightly while drinking tea: "Now Meng Ge Khan is in charge of the power, just like the officials are in charge of the court, and there are How much of a contradiction?"
When Jingdong heard this, he thought about it and nodded.
"As for the shortage of food and grass. The territory of the Hu people is ten or twenty times that of the Song Dynasty. Think about it, will they have a shortage of food and grass?" Yu Rusunyu died not surprisingly Never stop.
Jingdong's eyes widened so much that they almost fell out of their sockets: "The territory of the barbarians is so large?"
"Of course, think about it, before the Hu people occupied the Huns, Turks, Jin Kingdom, Xixia, Dashi and other places, although the Song Dynasty had a lot of territory, it was too small compared to the Hu people." After that, he took out the territory. A map is placed on the desk and pointed out one by one.
The Song Dynasty did not have such a map, so naturally he did not have such a map. This was given to him by Zhao Ping.
Jingdong stepped forward and looked at the map, his body trembling continuously, as if he had received an electric shock, and his spirit was in a state of half-dementia.
He was so surprised that he stood there like a piece of wood, and it took him a while to wake up: "Hu people, Hu people, is the territory of the Hu people really that big?"
"Although I also want to deny it, in the face of the facts, I have to admit that the Hu people's territory is indeed very large." Yu Rushun sighed as he finally conquered the territory of the Song Dynasty.
Jingdong felt like he was shaking all over, and there was almost no blood on his face: "The Hu people's territory is so huge, isn't our Song Dynasty finished?"
"The Hu people have a vast territory, but they are not without their weaknesses. Except for the Central Plains and Shandong, the rest of the land is vast and sparsely populated. The combined population is less than half of the Song Dynasty." Yu Rushun said this with a smile on his face.
If the population of the Hu people was several times or even the same as that of the Song Dynasty, it would be difficult for the Song Dynasty to withstand their crazy attacks.
After all, the Hu people not only had a height advantage, but also had cavalry.
Jingdong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt that his vest was already wet.
He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and finally there was a trace of color on his face: "It's okay, it's okay. The Song Dynasty occupied the most fertile land in the world and supported such a large population. It's a pity, the Hu people's cavalry is too powerful, come on Go like the wind."
"Although the Hu people have territorial advantages, they also have an advantage in cavalry." Yu Rushun said calmly, "But Zhaojiazhuang has an advantage in weapons. The two sides fought in Xi County for a month. As a result, the Hu people were unable to advance even an inch, and instead suffered a lot of losses in troops and horses. "
Jingdong looked at the map and asked in confusion: "Zimou, in this case, it's not that the Hu people don't want to take it back, but that they have more than enough ambition but not enough power?"
"Mr. Jing, think about it, Xi County is right under the noses of the barbarians. It can be said to be a thorn in the flesh. Don't they want to take it back?" Yu Rushun pointed to the location of Xi County on the map and said.
[In view of the general environment,
The color on Jingdong's face was getting better and better, but after looking at the map, he looked suspicious: "The Hu people have such a large territory, can Zhaojiazhuang be defended?"
"Mr. Jing, almost half a year has passed now. If the Hu people can take it back, will Xi County still be in the hands of Zhaojiazhuang?" Yu Rushun said happily while drinking tea.
Jingdong's face showed excitement, and then he looked suspicious: "Zimou, Zhaojiazhuang is so powerful, why doesn't Song Dynasty know about it?"
"Mr. Jing, what kind of tea are you drinking now?" Yu Rushun didn't answer his question.
And ask him questions.
Jingdong looked at the teacup in front of him with a smile on his face: "Zimou, of course this is Zui Chunfeng Tea."
"The Zui Chunfeng tea is produced by Zhaojiazhuang. Is there any difference between the tea from the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty?" Yu Rushun gestured for him to drink tea and asked a question at the same time.
Jingdong closed his eyes and sipped the tea while murmuring: "Zimou, if the drunken spring breeze is the real tea, then Tuancha is not worthy of carrying his shoes."
"Mr. Jing, you are right. Zui Chunfeng is indeed worthy of this description. I wonder if you have any other feelings?" Yu Rushun put down the teacup and asked with a smile.
Jingdong thought for a while and expressed his thoughts: "If the spring breeze tea leaves are like the white snow in spring, then Tuancha tea is like the lower reaches of the country."
"Mr. Jing is very right," Yu Rushun nodded, "Actually, Zui Chunfeng tea has another advantage, that is, its tea is as clear as spring water. On the contrary In other words, Tuancha is as turbid as floods, is that right?"
"Zimou, this is indeed the case, but what does this mean?" Jingdong felt like he was in a cloud and couldn't keep up with Yu Rushun's thoughts.
Yu Rushun took another sip of tea and said pointedly: "It's actually very simple. When you drink Zhaojiazhuang's Zui Chunfeng tea, you find that the tea is clear and transparent. When you drink other teas from the Song Dynasty, I thought the tea was turbid and dark."
"Clear and transparent, turbid and dim." Jingdong was deep in thought while savoring the drunken spring breeze and recalling Tuancha.
Seeing that Jingdong still didn't understand, Yu Rushun said calmly: "If it weren't for the drunken spring breeze in Zhaojiazhuang, Mr. Jing, you would definitely think that tea in the world is turbid and dark. You would never have thought that tea can also be clear and transparent."
"I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in Mount Lu." Jingdong patted the table and answered with sudden realization.
"It makes sense." Yu Rushun nodded and continued: "If Tuancha represents a part of the Song Dynasty, then Zui Chunfeng represents Zhaojiazhuang. If you are still drinking Tuancha, then you will always be drunk. Chunfeng tea is another kind of tea. realm."
Now the relationship between the Song Dynasty and Zhaojiazhuang is very delicate. On the one hand, Zhaojiazhuang needs to resist the Hu people, and on the other hand, it is very afraid of Zhaojiazhuang.
Yu Rusun naturally knew the situation in Xi County well, but many places in the Song Dynasty, including the imperial court, only knew that Zhaojiazhuang was still fighting to the death with the Hu people.
Therefore, Yu Rushun couldn't explain these things too thoroughly and could only hint at them through tea leaves.
Jingdong thought for a while, drank tea, and asked thoughtfully: "Zimou, could it be that Xi County is also another kind of drunken spring breeze?"
"Of course there is more than one kind of Zui Chunfeng tea in Zhaojiazhuang." Yu Rushun replied calmly while drinking tea.
Hearing this, Jingdong's face broke out into a smile, and his eyes shone with a moving light.
Zhaojiazhuang, Jintang County.
Xi County was upgraded to Xizhou, Jingdong was the magistrate, and Yu Rushun was the magistrate of Nanzheng County. They were soon spread to Zhaojiazhuang via carrier pigeons.
Zhang Si, the chief bookkeeper of Zhaojiazhuang, was very worried when he found out that Yu Rushun was the magistrate of Nanzheng County.
He bowed his hands in front of Zhao Ping, with worries in his eyes: "Little sage, after all, Zhaojiazhuang Town is in the interior of Sichuan, far away from the Hu people. But Nanzheng County is under the nose of the Hu people, how to govern it?"
"Exactly, there is only a temporary truce between the Hu people and Zhaojiazhuang. If a war breaks out between the two sides, what should I do, little saint?" Yan Guo, the housekeeper, was also worried.
The others did not speak, but their eyes were also full of worry.
