Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 146
The next morning, it was cloudless.

In the breeze, Gan Bao and the other three people, with only a few guards and servants, set out on the road lightly, left the city, and walked toward Chenzhuang outside the city based on the information they had learned.

"Old man, may I ask if Chen Zhi's home is in front?"

On the road, there were many forks in the mountains, so Su Jun asked a farmer who was farming on the roadside.

Unexpectedly, the farmer did not answer, but said first: "Oh, this noble gentleman, I am not the father-in-law. I am not 45 yet. I just work all year round and look old."

These words made Su Jun speechless for a while. He first apologized, then looked at the man in front of him, and saw that his face was full of ridges, full of wind and frost, and his hair was half white. At first glance, he looked quite old. It occurred to me that he was aging before he was old.

The man did not bother, and followed up: "If you are asking about Chen Junzi from the Chen family, then just walk in this direction. His big house is right in front, but Chen Junzi likes to go to Chen Hou Temple, there is often incense burning in the early morning, you might be able to see him in the temple if you take this road."

This man was quite talkative, and after what he had said, he was not satisfied. He added: "This gentleman of the Chen family is a capable man. I heard from people that he has made several farm tools. Those things are very powerful and can save a lot of money." He has great strength, and he is a great philanthropist. He reduced the land rent of Zuozhai by [-]%, which really makes us envious. It would be a blessing to have such a master!"

Afterwards, it turned into Chen Zhi's eulogy, Su Jun clicked his tongue again and again, and finally got away, the man still looked reluctant to part with him.

When the three of them were walking along the road, Su Jun couldn't help but said: "This Chen Zhi is very good at raising hopes. In just a short time, the people have been singing his name. With such popularity, we can't wait for his hometown quality." If you settle down, you can easily become an official, and it will definitely not be too bad to start as an official."

But Gan Bao shook his head and said: "Chen Hua is not satisfied with the seventh grade and wants to go further, let alone Chen Zhi? People with great ambitions will not easily become an official if they don't accumulate their fame to the peak."

But Su Jun laughed: "This is also my original idea. When I get older, there will be compromises after all. Is it possible for someone to become a marquis as soon as he comes out of the mountain? Alright, let's not worry about it so much, let's ask again." Two people, so we can find out where Chen Zhi's house is, speaking of it, I never thought that Chen Zhi would go to Chen Hou Temple, this Chen Hou is the person I admire the most, a legend in his life."

As they talked, they asked a few passers-by and farmers along the way, but without exception, these people all praised Chen Zhi.

After asking around, I finally arrived near Chenzhuang Village and saw Chen Zhi's house.

"Supposedly, this place is easy to find. It's just our first time here, so we inevitably took the wrong way." Su Jun, who had just been led the wrong way, laughed dryly when he saw the house. After saying these words, he followed up with a smile. A guard went over and called the door.

The guard called the door and handed over the name card.

Qian Bao and others were waiting in front of the door. Soon the main door opened wide, and Chen Zhi walked out in formal attire. He saluted Qian Bao and others: "I didn't know that our distinguished guests are coming from afar, and I didn't expect you to be welcomed from afar. I forgive you, I forgive you."

From the name posts, Chen Zhi already knew the identities of the three people in front of him. They were all people who could speak in front of the governor, so of course they had to make a gesture.

"We didn't notify him in advance, how can we blame Mr. Chen?" Qian Bao smiled and stepped forward, looking towards the courtyard with some curiosity as he spoke.

As soon as the door opened, he heard the noise coming from the yard. When he looked over, he saw many people walking around, holding piles of objects.

Su Jun also noticed the movement in the courtyard and asked, "Is there something going on in your house? Then we came at the wrong time."

Chen Zhi waved his hand and said: "No, this is the agricultural officer sent by Governor Xu. He is understanding the matter. Just come in and I will explain the matter here."

Sheriff Xu?Xu Hui!

Hearing this name, Gan Bao's heart skipped a beat, and he and Su Jun looked at each other, both of whom saw a trace of worry in each other's eyes.

Could it be that the governor of Pengcheng already guessed our target and arranged it today?In this way, it will be very difficult to invite Chen Zhi to the south.

However, it was not easy to express this kind of thing in front of Chen Zhi, so they quickly looked away, but Su Jun asked seemingly casually: "This agricultural officer from the prefecture came so quickly, could it be the city gate?" Are you here as soon as it opens?" Su Jun and the three of them left out very early today. Although they were delayed a lot of time on the road, it was still morning, but looking at the busy people in the courtyard, it was obvious that they had already arrived. It's been a while.

Chen Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, several agricultural officials came as soon as the city gate opened, and they are almost done by now."

After saying this, Qian Bao and Su Jun became even more worried.

Agricultural officials at the county level include both officials and subordinates, but they naturally have their own working hours. There is no saying that they have to rush early for one thing, unless it is strictly required by the superior officer.

This so-called Shangguan is of course Xu Hui. He must not have asked someone to come over in such a hurry. It must not have been a whim. "Xu Hui has seen through our purpose and wants to get there first." Immediately, Gan Bao and others understood in their hearts, "If this is the case, then this visit must facilitate this matter."

In this thought, Qian Bao, Su Jun, and Mr. Qiao were invited to the main hall by Chen Zhi and ordered people to prepare tea. Then they saw Chen Ting and Chen Xi rushing out. They were resting in the backyard, because this The agricultural officer sent by the county government was doing business, not visiting, so there was no need for the two of them to come forward. Suddenly someone came over to report that it was the governor who sent someone, which shocked the two of them.

The previous county governor, who was a mayor-level figure, came to give guidance, which made the two brothers uncontrollably excited. Now the governor is at the high-ranking official level, and has a profound background and a lot of halo. He sent people over, This is no small matter.

This was so shocking that they didn't care about anything else. They hurriedly put on their formal clothes and came over to see the ceremony.

"You're here at the right time. Let's keep you company here first. I'll explain things before I come back." Chen Zhi saw his two younger brothers and ordered with a smile. He also confessed to Su Jun and others, and then walked out. Chen Ting and Chen Xi were horrified to see this.

The governor came to visit, and instead of treating him well, you went to do other things first.

But they didn't know that when Chen Zhi saw the three people, he thought of Xu Hui who had sent someone here earlier, and also remembered the sudden surge in fame and gold liquid in the past few days. He already knew it and guessed it at once After knowing the purpose of the three people's visit, they naturally had some calculations.

On the other hand, he had met too many high-ranking officials and nobles in his previous life, and he was immune to the majesty of these people. In addition, it was not the governor himself who came here, but just sent people here. These people had stripped away the aura of the governor, but in fact their rank and status were still high. Not as good as Xu Hui, but also on a first-come, first-served basis.

In order to prevent the news from leaking and let Xu Hui know, Gan Bao and others arrived suddenly without sending anyone to notify them in advance. However, these agricultural officials, with their official and subordinate positions, rushed over early in the morning and treated Chen Zhi respectfully. It's hard to leave things alone if you don't have the slightest bit of control. You have to explain everything.

However, as soon as Chen Zhi left, no one spoke in the lobby.

Chen Ting and Chen Xi were most afraid of the sudden silence, and felt embarrassed. They wanted to find a topic to relieve themselves, but they were intimidated by the official power of the three people. For a while, they couldn't think of any topic, and they became more and more anxious.

At this time, Mr. Qiao suddenly stood up, glanced at everyone in the hall, and said with a smile: "Since we have met, we might as well go and have a look. To be honest, along the way, I heard many farmers praising Young Master Chen. , I am also very curious in my heart, and I want to have a look."

After saying that, the man walked out of the main hall.

Qian Bao and Su Jun took a look and secretly thought that it was not good. They had heard the meaning of Qiao Lao's words yesterday. However, due to their seniority and status, they could not dissuade them openly, but they also secretly pointed out that they were just here for the invitation. What Chen Zhi said, don't make any accidents.

Mr. Qiao agreed at the time, but no one knew what the old man was thinking. Now when they saw this movement, they knew that Mr. Qiao had not really listened to their persuasion.

So the two of them hurriedly followed him. They couldn't help but if something unexpected happened, they could just follow him to smooth things over.

On the other hand, Chen Ting and Chen Xi were stunned when they saw this scene, and thought that their family did not entertain them well and annoyed the visitor, so they couldn't help but get worried and followed.

In this way, a few people came out of the main hall with a whimper, and when they arrived in the courtyard, they saw that everyone was busy. Under Chen Zhi's guidance, they were assembling many objects, one by one. prototype.

When Chen Zhi saw several people coming, he also greeted them, but then he was busy giving instructions, intending to complete the work at hand as soon as possible and entertain everyone.

Qian Bao stared at something for a few times, and suddenly his heart moved.

"This thing looks like some kind of plow, but the structure is a bit strange, but judging from the shape, it is not created out of thin air, which seems to make sense. Could it be that Chen Zhi is not obsessed with farming, but really Make a difference?"

When he thought about it, he suddenly realized that he and others had fallen into a misunderstanding.

"That's right, because of Chen Zhi's good writing and profound views on famous teaching, we preconceived that this person is only capable in writing and famous teaching, but no one has stipulated that he has ability in this area." , there is no way to make achievements in other aspects. Aren’t the Marquises of Wu and Chen back then both of the Broadcom Hundreds of Schools?”

Gan Bao was still thinking about this, but he didn't expect Mr. Qiao to come to Chen Zhi, pretending to be looking at things, and then said: "I don't know if this thing existed in the past three generations, but I remember you Chen Zhi The teacher said that when it comes to the inheritance of Taoism, Yao, Shun and Yu passed on to future generations, so it can be seen that this is the right way."

The old man's words were not sharp, but he tried to use Chen Zhi's point of view to advise Chen Zhi not to focus on farming. However, Qian Bao and Su Jun's eyelids twitched, and they were about to speak out to smooth things over.

Unexpectedly, Chen Zhi laughed and said, "Mr. Qiao's words are wrong. Could it be that he didn't know that Yu didn't leave the Kyushu, follow the mountains and rivers, and let the soil be a tribute. The "Yu Gong" mentioned in the "Shang Shu" It describes the landforms, mountain and river trends, soil vegetation, and product paths of Kyushu. This is the beginning of farming and one of the Taoist traditions!"
