Three mountains away, this is a place called Zhouzhou County.
In other words, Sanshanling itself should be under the jurisdiction of Zhouzhou County.
Rucheng, the head of last week's county, is a very ancient city. When Dayan was founded eight hundred years ago, it was already one of the largest cities in the world.
It was just a real-time migration, and now Changru City is in quite a state of decline.
The geography of last week's county is very special. It is located on a highland plain surrounded by mountains.
In the war years, it was a natural strategic base, which could act as a deterrent to the plains and fertile fields below.
During the Taiping years, this area became a mountainous area with poor traffic. In addition, it was located in the hinterland of Dayan and lost its strategic value. Naturally, it received less attention.
Speaking of which, the entire geographical environment of Zhouzhou County is like an enlarged version of the Three Mountains!
When Jiang Sibai and the others walked out of Sanshanling, they were naturally going to Chang Rucheng, the county seat of Zhou County.
This is the first stop of their trip, just to see if the governor of Zhouzhou County is reliable and suitable for the upcoming troubled times.
If it is not suitable, in this troubled world and the reincarnation of humanity, it is better not to entrust Sanshanling to the government for the time being.
In this case, it is up to Jiang Sibai to figure out how to settle the people.
As for the second stop, it is Changrufang City, near Changrucheng.
This 'Changrufang City' is not a place officially named by Dayan Kingdom, but a place where practitioners in the spiritual world spontaneously established to communicate with each other.
When the three of them entered Changru City, they naturally had to tidy up to prevent others from thinking that their clothing and temperament were different.
However, no matter how the three of them dress up, they will not look like villagers and villagers, so Jiang Sibai simply changed into student clothes and entered the city as if he were students studying here, bringing his family with him.
Many of the ancient aristocratic families in Changru City were in decline, but they were not surprised by this and did not reveal their flaws.
And they were wandering around the city to get information.
It turned out that the most suitable place to inquire about information in Changru City was not the largest restaurant in the city, but a small wine shop near the public school.
There are many young scholars in this small wine shop commenting on the world, and even the figures of the current period are constantly commenting on it. Jiang Sibai pretends to be a handsome scholar and blends in, but he does not look outstanding at all.
At that time, women could not show their faces in public, so Yuan Ling pretended to be his wife and Xue Qi pretended to be his sister, and they sat at the table with their faces covered with gauze scarves.
"You don't know, something big happened in Huangling Mountain in the south."
"What's going on? Which family rebelled?"
"That's rebellion."
"What's so strange about this? These days, let alone border counties, there are rebellions every year even in the heart of the country, but no matter what, it only takes the local prefect to dispatch soldiers from one county to put them out."
"Hmph, so something big happened this time, because the rebels in Huangling Mountain not only defeated the county soldiers and seized a county's arsenal, but also set up an ambush on the march of the imperial army's anti-rebellion army, causing almost all of the 30,000 imperial army to be defeated. The army was destroyed!”
"This...this is really a big deal!"
"What else can we do? The rebels in Huangling Mountain have now begun to take shape. They have begun to attack the surrounding cities and seize territory. Our county has always been lax in its armament this week and we will probably suffer a military disaster sooner or later."
At this time, Jiang Sibai couldn't help but ask: "My dear friends, even if the county's military preparedness was slack last week, it still won the geographical advantage. I think if the prefect responded in time, he could at least gather the county soldiers to guard the territory and calm the people."
As a result, his question provoked laughter from the students next to him.
"I'm afraid this brother doesn't know much about our prince. If we ask him about poems, songs, verses, scriptures and excerpts from this prince, he is the best choice. But if we ask him about the government affairs of the county, he can only 'Cure by doing nothing'!"
Someone else mocked and added: "If you ask him about military strategy again, I'm afraid he will just say 'What can I do'?"
Everyone laughed for a moment and actually forgot their worries just now.
Jiang Sibai felt helpless when he heard this. If Wang Taishou was just a person who wanted to talk about fame, then Sanshanling should continue to be isolated in the mountains.
But what was unexpected was that these students turned to chatting about other things.
"Speaking of which, instead of hoping that Mr. Wangfu can cheer up, it is better to believe that King Zhouzhou will protect Zhouzhou County with the kingdom's guards."
"Is this the third generation of King Zhou? Moreover, Old Wang is seriously ill. Now it's his turn to divide the princes. How much strength will he have to guard Zhou County?"
"It's sad to say that this Zhou County was originally the Kingdom of Zhou. However, after passing the order from generation to generation, the area of Zhou Kingdom is only on the plain south of Changru City."
"Now that we are enfeoffing again, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Zhou itself will exist in name only."
Jiang Sibai's ears immediately pricked up when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was such a truth in it.
According to the geographical relationship, his three mountains are actually within the territory of Zhouzhou State and not under the jurisdiction of Zhouzhou County.
At this time, I heard a scholar say: "There is nothing to worry about. Everyone understands the principle of extending grace orders. There is no long-lasting kingdom in this world, otherwise the court will be unhappy."
"And I heard that because Lao Wang was seriously ill this time, the prince was in charge of the enfeoffment. He had decided to enfeoff all his younger brothers to the surrounding mountain lairs in order to preserve the national strength of the Zhou Kingdom. damage."
Jiang Sibai pondered in his mind: [Should we go find out if the boundaries of Sanshanling have been enfeoffed? 】
Yuan Ling heard the words and said clearly: [Aren't we going to be able to handle a helpless little prince by then? 】
Jiang Sibai laughed when he heard this and said: [Remind you, I am also a 'helpless little prince'. 】
Yuan Ling looked over curiously: [What, what do you want to express? 】
Jiang Sibai touched his nose and said: "Nothing, let's continue talking about the matter at hand, but I don't know where to get the news about this." 】
Xueqi was bored to death watching the two of them flirting with each other, and she suddenly blew a puff of mist into the wine shop.
And the people who inhaled the mist, that is, the students in the entire wine shop, seemed not to notice anything.
Jiang Sibai and Yuan Ling both looked at her with confusion, as if asking what she had done.
Xueqi tilted her head and said: "Your efficiency in getting information is too low. Now you just ask, and you will be sure to ask them what they will answer, and you will still be unaware at all times."
Jiang Sibai felt it for a moment and praised: "This is a kind of illusion, right? It's amazing."
Xueqi said reservedly: "You're welcome, my Qingqiu Fox Clan is good at illusions, and the illusion you used before, Fellow Daoist Jiang, to deal with the Dangchuan Demon Kingdom was also very powerful, and it directly confused thousands of demon soldiers."
This is a business blow-up.
Yuan Ling sighed with emotion and said, "It's my sister who can use this method. We have priestly responsibilities. If we are discovered doing this, it will violate the laws of heaven."
This is interesting. The premise of 'if discovered' is to violate the rules of heaven. It can be seen that this rule of heaven is nothing at all in Yuan Ling's eyes.
But the method is not the point. The point is that they finally got the information they wanted.
