Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 771 "Record of Quotations"

The farmland is vast, connected piece by piece, and crisscrossed by roads, as if it is boundless.

In the farmland, clumps of immature wheat ears swayed in the wind, and many figures shuttled among them, including a few cattle, led by farmers in green clothes, plowing the land.

In this lush scene, there is a thoroughfare that runs from north to south and passes through fields.

There was an endless stream of vehicles coming and going on the road, and there were also many merchant convoys, but at this time they all stopped and looked at a group of troops running quickly on the road.

This team belongs to Ran Zhan.

It is worth mentioning that even Ran Zhan himself was running with him. Many people along the way recognized him and praised him, saying that he shared the hardships with the soldiers and was really a good general.

However, after the team had passed more than half way, they noticed that the bandit leaders who had been tied up and captured were put in prison cars and dragged away directly.

Now everyone couldn't help but start talking again, but this time there was a lot of interest and joy in the words. After all, most of the people on these two sides were farmers and merchants, and both groups were most harassed by bandits.

During the war, refugees were raging. That was a general environment. No matter how angry you were, you could only blame God and go with the flow. But now Dai County is relatively peaceful. If there are bandits, some people will be unlucky. They are naturally itchy with hatred. .

So when they saw the enemy being arrested, of course everyone clapped their hands and cheered, and some couldn't help but want to step forward and throw a few rocks. Fortunately, Wu Ding on the edge persuaded them to retreat.

But even though the people retreated, the discussion did not stop.

"These people were finally caught, well done!"

"Now we can feel at ease. There have been rumors that the lord is going to punish these thieves. I thought it was a rumor. After all, these people come and go like the wind, so it's hard to catch!"

"Huh? Why is there a convoy behind here? It seems to be protected at all levels!"

As they talked, they discovered something at the end of the team. It was an incompatible component——

It was a convoy of carriages, and there were many guards following the convoy. However, whether they were people, farmers, passers-by, or merchants along the way, they could all tell immediately that the convoy and the guards were by no means harmonious. This army belongs to one body, and the reason is very simple——

When Wu Ding trotted, he could still maintain an orderly queue horizontally and vertically, which was very touching to watch. On the other hand, the guards around these carriages looked chaotic and abnormal.

This kind of chaos is usually nothing. After all, from the skills of the guards, it can be seen that they are all warriors with good skills. The problem is that they are afraid of comparing goods. In front is the almost neat Daijun Wuding, and behind you are following. , suddenly magnified this mess, making people frown.

However, on the other hand, they were also very curious about the people in the carriage and guessed the identity of the people in the carriage.

Because Ran Zhan himself was Chen Zhi's confidant, which was known to everyone in Daijun. Although he was young, he was entrusted with important tasks by Chen Zhi. As a result, this popular man in front of Chen Zhi was running on the road like a soldier. As a result, some people were on the carriage, surrounded by guards. "Could he be some kind of noble person?"

"Is it the Yang family? I heard that Mrs. Fujun is giving birth. Could it be that her mother's family is here? Recently, gentlemen from the Chen family have been coming here from time to time. I heard that several elders of Fujun are on their way here. Maybe It’s General Ran who leads the people to protect him.”

"It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. If it's really the guardian of the family, why do you want to catch the bandit? It's really strange!"

Here, everyone was talking, and the people in the carriage over there were still surprised by Gao Bing's sentence "Farming is the most important thing". Otherwise, if he trains the new army and suppresses the aristocratic family, can it still be for the sake of making decisions for the people, for the sake of the people and government, without being restrained?

This is obviously unrealistic!

The old man Hong Qian, on the other hand, frowned and thought secretly in his heart.

He is a citizen of Daijun and a member of the upper echelon of the clan. The reason why he came here this time is because Chen Zhi's policy of benefiting the people has threatened his own interests. Even if there are other supplements, in the eyes of such an old man, Come on, land is the foundation. The original land rent and household adjustment can force many people to take the initiative to sell their lives and rely on their own land, thus reducing some taxes. But now that Chen Zhi's new policy is showing signs, it has already made people below Meng Dong, if you wait any longer, what will happen is really unimaginable.

From this point of view, there seems to be no problem with Chen Zhi's emphasis on farming, but it is his family that is unlucky, which makes him feel very heavy. Considering Chen Zhi's huge power in Dai County now, he is even more worried, and he feels depressed in his heart. It was a bit hot and I couldn't help but open the car curtain to get some air.

But when he opened it, he heard and saw the Ran soldiers walking outside. Their uniform movements made Hong Qian feel safe and secure before, and he was proud to cheer Dai Jun in front of outsiders, but now When I looked again, I felt even heavier, my eyelids twitched, my hands and feet were cold, and I quickly lowered the car curtain again.

However, as soon as he opened it, many people outside noticed it - people on both sides of the road were wondering about the origin of the convoy and stared closely at it. Any slightest movement would be noticed, as if under the spotlight, thousands of people Attention, you suddenly show up, how can you be ignored.

What's more, this Hong Qian is an elder of the clan, and he has seen him a lot on weekdays. At such an old age, which county, village or town in Dai County has he not been to?He also chatted and laughed with many people, and many people knew him. At this time, someone immediately recognized his origin, and then told everyone about it.

Immediately, a group of people knew that the people escorted by this team were not relatives of any prince, but elders from the villages and towns in the south. Immediately, the praises started to rise one after another.

"It turned out that he was escorting the elders of the people. The Lord really loves the people like his own son!"

"Isn't that right? I heard that the elder of the Hong family had some complaints about the prefect's recent policy of protecting the people. He had long said that he would go to Dai County to seek justice. I thought he would be blocked by others, but it turned out that not only He didn’t stop me and even took the initiative to send someone over to escort him, that’s really impressive!”

"It can be seen that Mr. Fujun is open-minded. I know a little bit about what the Hong family is arguing about. In fact, it doesn't have to be like this. In terms of posture and level, the big families in Dai County are not much higher than him. But the result is the same. Now I am making a lot of money by relying on the paper mill and the kiln. Isn't it wonderful?"

As soon as these people discussed, the ins and outs of the matter immediately became clear. Immediately some people sighed, some praised, and everyone performed in their own way.

In the carriage, Hong Qian didn't know that he had opened the curtain and there were a lot of words outside. But he was sitting in the carriage with Huan Yi and Zao Song. He looked at Gao Bing with some surprise and said something from his sleeves. He took out a book with the words "Record of Quotations" written on the cover.
