During the Three Kingdoms period, the city of Chengdu was mainly composed of two major areas: Dacheng and Shaocheng, as well as city walls such as Jinguan City, Cheguancheng, and Nanshi. The city was surrounded by military camps and fortresses. The imperial palace, the Prime Minister's Palace, the Yizhou Mufu Palace, and the official offices of various ministers are located in the city, and most of the mansions of wealthy families are also concentrated here. Shaocheng is mainly a place where ordinary people live. Most of the people live in the north, and the commercial area is in the south. The city has a population of no less than 100,000, and industries such as salt, iron, and brocade are developed. In addition, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang has been in charge of Chengdu since he entered Shu and has administered policies properly. Therefore, Chengdu is now a prosperous place that is one of the best in the world.
When Yang Qing entered the city, he saw row upon row of restaurants, shops, and merchants. People were coming and going on the streets. Although it was not as good as later generations, it still had its own classical prosperity.
When Yang Qing saw that he had arrived in Chengdu, he immediately asked to resign to County Lieutenant Li: "Thanks to the County Lieutenant's teachings along the way, Qing has benefited a lot. Now that he has entered the city, it is not good to bother him any more, so I bid farewell to the County Lieutenant."
"In this case, I won't keep Mingzhi any longer. I don't know where Mingzhi will live after entering the city. If he doesn't have a place to live for a while, I can find it for Mingzhi. After all, you and I hit it off as soon as we met, and we need to get closer in the future."
"My master has an old friend in Chengdu. I am going to look for him this time. When Qing settles down, I will go to the county temple to visit the county captain." Yang Qing has any acquaintances in Chengdu, and he doesn't want to trouble this man any more. The only official acquaintances at present, after all, the friendship cannot be used for mundane matters such as food and accommodation, so at this time, we can only make nonsense excuses.
"Then we haven't decided yet." As he spoke, Li Yu took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Yang Qing: "Ming Zhi, you can take this jade pendant to the Chengdu County Temple to see me when the time comes."
"Then Qing is bothering you. The green mountains will not change and the green waters will remain forever. Let's say goodbye to the county captain." Taking the jade pendant and putting it in his arms, Yang Qing bowed and left.
"This boy is really a disciple of a master. He can make exquisite sentences whenever he opens his mouth." Li Yu murmured, looking at Yang Qing's back.
After coming all the way from Jiangzhou, Yang Qing finally arrived in Chengdu. Yang Qing originally planned to have a good sightseeing, but it was getting late and finding a place to stay and rest was the top priority at the moment.
During his time in Jiangzhou, he still saved a lot of money, and the businessman named Li was responsible for all food and accommodation on the road. He spent very little on the trip, so he probably still had five or six thousand money on him. If he didn't spend money lavishly and calculated carefully, the money would probably be enough for him to live in Chengdu for a month.
It is too late to find a place to live today. We have to wait until tomorrow to go to Yahang to look for a suitable house. It is impossible to buy a house, and it is impossible to buy a house in this life. Yang Qing felt inexplicable when he thought about it. It would be okay if he couldn't afford a house in later generations. Why was he still unable to afford a house when he came to the Three Kingdoms? Is this destiny?
Shaking his head and not thinking about this bad thing for the time being, he asked an old man selling soup cakes on the street and went straight to the nearest inn.
On the broad and straight main road in the south wall of the city, two carriages were slowly traveling north. In one of the carriages, two women in elegant clothes were sitting in the main seat.
The one on the left side of the car looks like he is in his thirties. He is dressed as a woman, with a beautiful appearance and an elegant temperament. The eyes under the willow eyebrows are particularly clear, but there is a bit of cunning in the movement of the eyebrows. It is obvious that he is The lady Li Yu met when he was in Chenjiacun today.
Sitting next to her was a girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a white straight train. Her skin was as good as snow, her eyebrows were like picturesque, her nose was exquisite, and her hands were like catkins. She was actually stunningly beautiful, but her face was a bit... Cool.
At this time, the girl could only be heard saying to the woman: "Mom, that man was so powerful today. He made Chen San plead guilty and punished with just a few words. This kind of case resolution method is rare."
It turned out that these two people were actually a mother and daughter. Seeing that they were traveling closer and closer to Miyagi, they must be more than just ordinary dignitaries.
The woman held the girl's hands lovingly and nodded: "The most powerful thing about this person is not his sharp words. He can discover many doubts and evidence just by observation without taking any forceful measures, which shows that he Being attentive and good at deliberation is the most valuable thing.”
The girl nodded and said, "Mom, do you want to recommend this person to your Excellency?"
The woman smiled and said: "Well, this man is indeed a rare talent. However, these are not enough to disturb your father. Besides, his identity and origin have not yet been found out. We should wait some time to find out. Well. Anyway, I have ordered Huang Xing to go and investigate, and this person can't escape. Why, Guo'er is now starting to worry about recruiting talents for the country? "
The girl was stunned for a moment and looked out of the car: "Since the late Emperor Bintian, you have worked hard day and night and been diligent in the king's affairs. My daughter is very distressed. I wish that there would be many uncles and adults to share the burden like a few years ago. This way It will also be much easier for adults.”
After hearing this, the woman couldn't help but sigh in her heart, recalling that although her husband was also busy with affairs in the past, he didn't have to bear every detail on him alone like now.
At that time, the Han Dynasty had a great hero like the late emperor, and many talented people among his colleagues. Wen had such talented people as Fazheng, Liu Ba, and Ma Liang, and Wu had famous generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Ma Chao. Alang only had to sit in the rear. , Centrally dispatch, you can win thousands of miles away.
At that time, Alang was in high spirits, and his smile was still the same as before in Jingzhou. Although he is still as calm and confident now, his smile is rare. I can see the pain and depression in his heart.
Guo'er wanted to share her father's worries, and so did she. In the past few days, I left the city and came to the newly built manor in Chenjiacun, not just to live leisurely, play and recuperate. Now is the autumn season, and after winter comes, we can arrange for people to plant mulberry trees.
Mulberry trees can be used to raise silkworms, and silk can be turned into brocade cloth. This Shu brocade is related to the livelihood of thousands of people in the Han Dynasty and the expenses of the court. It can be said to be one of the lifeblood of the country's goods production. The Han Dynasty now has a large number of mulberry farmers and weavers, but it is still not enough, so Alang has ordered the setting up of brocade officials to manage this matter, and encouraged people across the country to plant mulberry, raise silkworms, and set up brocade looms. In order to set an example for the people, I have purchased fields and built a manor in Chenjia Village according to Alang's wishes. When the season comes, I will plant mulberry trees. I believe that by then the people will believe that planting mulberry trees is both beneficial to their livelihood and beneficial to their livelihood. It's a great thing for the country.
The national situation is difficult, and Alang is in a high position. His family is different from other ordinary families. Every word and deed will attract the attention of the world, so don't be careless. Not only should we set an example and stay upright, but we should also be cautious in our words and deeds, and leave no trace behind, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Alang.
It seems that Guo'er thinks the same way. She has been a calm and taciturn person since she was a child, and rarely expresses her feelings even to her mother. But how could she not feel the concern in her heart?
Thinking of this, the woman gently stroked the girl's head, and then took her into her arms: "Silly child, these matters are handled by the court, and you don't need to worry too much as a girl. Besides, you Don’t you believe your father? He is one of the most intelligent people in the world, and nothing in the world is difficult for him.”
The girl remembered her father's confident and calm appearance, raised her head and said to the woman, "Mom, my daughter knows." After saying that, she closed her eyes and hugged her mother tightly.
"Madam, we have arrived at the gate of the mansion." The attendant reminded softly outside the car window.
When the woman heard this, she let go of the girl in her arms, straightened her clothes, opened the curtain and looked at the door, thinking to herself: I wonder if Alang is back today.
