To the north of Qinhuang City is Lingyuan City, and to the north of Lingyuan City is Bozhou.
Bozhou has a vast territory and rich resources. Judging from the map, the nine counties of Huxiao, Zhangwu, Sunjiang, Liaodong, Liaoxi, Jiudi, Chisong, Woyuan and Fude, which belong to Bozhou, look like a piece of soft wood with two cuts horizontally and vertically. Tofu, almost in the form of three or three, straddles the northeastern territory of the empire. To the north, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are eyeing these nine counties day and night across the Great Wall.
At that time, the emperor Liu Yan was ambitious and with the help of Dongfang Chunsheng, he reorganized Kyushu.
The reason why he set Bozhou and Quzhou to be bounded by the Lingyuan Mountains and set the boundaries of the nine counties of Bozhou in the shape of nine palaces was not just for the beauty of the map, but also to fully consider its important strategic position. .
To put it bluntly, in Liu Yan's eyes, the three states of Fengzhou, Bozhou and Muzhou that were taken from Da Qin and the Western Regions were important strategic buffer zones for the Han Empire. The Western Regions and Da Qin could only defeat them. The three states were able to penetrate through the skin and penetrate the heart of the empire.
Bozhou is located in the northeast of the Han Empire, with dangerous mountains and rivers. If Da Qin wants to attack the Han Empire from the northeast, it must first cross the Great Wall and face Huxiao, the defenders of Sunjiang County, and the continuous support from Woyuan County; after passing the Great Wall, Then we have to forcibly cross the Sumo River that isolates the mountains and rivers; after passing the Sumo River, we will usher in the first fortified city in the north of the Great Wall, Polu City; after passing Polu City, it is considered a smooth river. However, if Bozhou Mu hadn't been that Idiots and idiots, if the war reaches this level, they will naturally shrink their troops and return to the front line of the Lingyuan Mountains to lay down a strategic depth stretching for dozens of kilometers to protect the Central Plains.
It can be said that the nine counties formed by the three forces of Bozhou are the three barriers to defend the Qin army in the northeast of the empire.
Therefore, the division of the boundaries of Fengzhou, Bozhou and Muzhou was completely based on war considerations. The customs, customs and management convenience were not in Liu Yan's eyes. Even the life of the people in the three states was not good. Being bad was not within the scope of Liu Yan's consideration at that time. The impoverished Chisong County was the best example.
Since ancient times, the Tian family has always been ruthless. In order to keep the building from falling, not to mention a tiger-repelling gang or a Pingtian army, even if the head of Guizhou loses a state and a county, as long as it has the country and the throne, there is nothing wrong with it.
Of course, in the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land, and on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers. Liu Yan, who was new to Dabao, would not tell others such sincere words.
The words are like this, and things are one thing. Ordinary people don't care what your Tian family thinks. Since Emperor Shenwu classified Bozhou as Han territory, the people here have become Han people. .
It was not until recent years that, under the persuasion of Prime Minister Lu Zheng, Liu Yan began to pay attention to the governance of Fengzhou, Bozhou and Muzhou, and began to carry out construction and promote people's livelihood with great fanfare.
After two generations of reproduction, Bozhou is prosperous and no longer as desolate as it was fifty years ago.
This also made Liu Yan begin to re-examine his original strategy of defending against Great Qin.
As Liu Yi's five counties were completed, a more majestic blueprint slowly unfolded in the heart of Emperor Liu Yan.
.......
The book returns to its true story.
Midsummer in Bozhou is neither warm nor cool, neither dry nor stuffy.
As life got better, roads were paved, and water conservancy was opened, Bozhou gradually began to be populated by scholars and became a good summer resort for scholars from the Central Plains.
Since the Xiabai River was dug into a canal by the old and young people of Chisong, the scholars had another good place to go, which was the sparkling green space at the foot of Taibai Mountain.
Just imagine, in this scorching summer, find a cool place surrounded by green grass ponds, colorful butterflies, and greenery, meet up with one or two beauties and two or three friends, set up in a thatched cottage, make a pot of warm tea, or play chess pieces leisurely , or on a lazily rocking wooden chair, looking down you can see a group of green flowing water, looking up you can see thousands of snow-white mountains, and there are distant streams under the clouds, and you can also see jade horses galloping, it is so virtuous and comfortable.
Tourism is a lucrative business in any dynasty. Scholars went north to escape the summer heat, which directly boosted the economy of Chisong County. The people here are not as poor as they were in the past, but exude a sense of nobility.
Xia Qing’s single contribution has benefited thousands of people!
Among the large number of people heading north to Bozhou to escape the summer heat this year, a scholar with ordinary clothes, ordinary appearance, and ordinary conversation was among them.
This ordinary scholar, no matter who sees him in the crowd, will never take a second look at him.
The scholar followed the group northward and then eastward. He quietly broke away from the large summer retreat group and continued northward.
Embarking on the road to the north alone, the scholar took off his clothes and slept in the open air. He stretched out his body skills and walked as fast as the wind, reaching Buyeo Castle, the capital of Chisong County, as quickly as possible.
After a tiring journey, the scholar entered Buyeo Castle. He took a deep breath and melted away the tension he had felt for many days, and suddenly felt energetic again.
Without delaying for a moment, the scholar turned left and right, turned a thousand times, and finally arrived at Chisong County Sheriff's Mansion. He bowed slightly to the secretary on duty at the mansion and said in a low voice, "Please inform me that Chu Rushui is in Quzhou's administration. Please see Master Xun."
This person is Chu Rushui, Mu Jiangfeng's right-hand man in Quzhou. This time he comes here with a top-secret mission, which will surely cause a big wave.
Xun Yu, who happened to be resting, heard about Chu Rushui's visit. He frowned and asked his disciple, "Chu Rushui came by himself?"
The disciple of the disciple bowed slightly and whispered, "Sir, Chu Rushui came riding alone and did not bring any entourage."
Xun Yu frowned even more. He mumbled to himself and asked again, "How is Chu Rushui dressed?"
The clerk replied, "My clothes and shoes are shabby and dusty, just like a poor peasant!"
Xun Yu snorted coldly, "I have never had any friendship with Chu Rushui. Now that he is doing secret things alone, he must do something treacherous. Just say that I am not in the house and shirk it!"
After saying that, Xun Yu groaned and lay back on the mat.
The subordinate Shu Zuo received the order and was about to go out, but was called back by Xun Yu.
I saw Xun Yu standing up straight, sitting cross-legged on the table, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he sighed and said, "We are a distinguished guest, so please come in and have a cup of hot tea!"
The subordinate Shu Zuo received the order and was about to go out again, but was called back by Xun Yu.
"The governor personally welcomes you!"
Xun Yu didn't hesitate at all, stood up and left, welcoming Chu Rushui in his wide robe and plain belt.
No matter what your purpose is, Chu Rushui, as you are a guest, you must not lose your courtesy. ,
Under a piece of gold and jade, the two parties sat down.
Chu Rushui was the first to speak, "Mr. Chu, you have traveled a long way, come and come, come and try my local tea from Chisong County. Although it is not as valuable as the famous tea, one sip of it will relieve the heat and relieve the heat."
Xun Yu served tea to Chu Rushui politely and respectfully, without any official pretensions, which made Chu Rushui flattered.
Xun Yu was a high-ranking official in Xinjiang, with a silver seal and a green ribbon, and a salary of two thousand dan. Chu Rushui was just a small official with a bronze seal and a black ribbon, and a salary of 600 dan. Judging from their official positions, they were worlds apart. Don't.
But in the officialdom, many things are not calculated this way. How do you know that there is no big backer behind a small person? How do you know that the little people today will not soar into the sky tomorrow?
To use the most vivid analogy, Prime Minister Lu Zheng's son Lu An is currently unemployed in Lu Zheng's hometown in Cangzhou. Although Lu An is only a white man, during the New Year and the holidays, what official would dare not to visit him? Who dares to show off his power in Lu'an?
The same principle applies very well today.
The Chu Rushui in front of him was Jiang Feng's confidant. Although Taihao City and Fuyu City were thousands of miles apart and had no affiliation with each other, a temple was only so big. After all, those who could perform on the stage could not There are only a few people sitting down there watching the show, those who have the opportunity to perform on stage, and those who have the opportunity to sit down there and watch the show.
Let’s not talk about how the Xun family in Yingchuan survived in the Jiang family. Let’s just talk about the visit of Quzhou Mu’s confidants. How could Xun Yu not put his tail between his legs and flatter him?
In the officialdom, people have always been concerned about being kind, observant, and calm. Looking at Xunyu's attitude towards Chu Rushui, Xunyu can be regarded as an old fox in the officialdom!
"Master Xun, you're welcome. I feel guilty for coming here to harass you without informing you!"
Chu Rushui did not have the arrogance of being favored by a famous man. Instead, he became more humble. His words revealed a kind of elegance that comes with a scholar. He said to Xun Yu, "I often hear people say that Chisong County has been barren for centuries and cannot produce food every year. But who would have thought that once the governor of Xun County took office and worked hard to govern, Chisong County would become the small Jiangnan in the north of the Great Wall. This is really the ambition of the three armies and the ambition of the righteous people. It is said that one term in government can benefit a party, and Xun Daren can really do that. Officials."
The word shameless is called shyness in the world of martial arts, but in temples, it is called indifference to favor and humiliation.
Just at this time, Xun Yu, after hearing Chu Rushui's flattering words, did not feel embarrassed or ashamed at all. Instead, he laughed, gently touched the jade carving Qishao on the case, and said with a smile, "The duty lies, the responsibility lies. The population of Bozhou is less than half that of Quzhou. With fewer people, there will be less things to do. When it comes to managing everything on a day-to-day basis, I really can’t compare to Chu Zhizhong and all the adults in the Prefectural Mufu! Thank you Chu Zhizhong for your hard work."
Chu Rushui naturally knew the reason why Chisong had been turned upside down in the past two years. He just said this just to test Xun Yu's personality. Based on this answer, Chu Rushui judged that Xun Yu was a scheming person.
Chu Rushui snorted coldly in his heart: Although the scheming is deep and powerful, in the face of absolute interests, any pretense seems weak. I wonder if you, Xun Yu, have the guts to accept the great gift I brought you today?
When Chu Rushui was deep in thought, Xun Yu said with a smile, "Lord Zhizhong came to Han Mansion today. I wonder why I need my service? Although I am a humble official, but like Jiangzhou Mu, I have a request. The officer must do his best.”
Xun Yu's words were a double entendre. He seemed to be generously agreeing to all the requests that Chu Rushui might make, but he also stated that he was not very capable and could not handle big things.
Saying this is like not saying it, just like farting.
"Haha! I have nothing else to do here today. I just came here to pay my respects after hearing about Mr. Jing, the word "visit" should be replaced by congratulations!"
Xun Yu asked with a smile, "Oh? Mr. Chu, please don't deceive me. Why didn't this county governor see any happy events?"
Chu Rushui warmed the tea and took a sip of it. After savoring the sweetness of the tea for a while, he continued to say to Xun Yu humbly, "Master Xun is a man of great virtue and integrity. Chisong County has achieved great results. If there is no change, Bozhou Mu Su Ran has arrived." In a few years, the position of Bozhou Mu will definitely be in your pocket!"
"Haha! Your Excellency, you are so flattering!" Xun Yu was very impressed by Chu Rushui's flattery, but he still pretended to be humble.
Chu Rushui asked with a warm smile, "I don't know, sir, how expensive is Geng this year?"
When he heard the word 'Gui Geng', Xun Yu's face turned dark instantly.
Like charcoal and ink.
