Mr. Ma's head and the thousand gold sent by Julu in a semi-public manner undoubtedly played a role in stabilizing people's hearts. At least the assassination case of the previous governor of Yizhou has been 'accounted for' to some extent.

, isn’t it?

Then?

Then what else?

Then some people continue to work hard to build the river embankment in order to complete it before the Chinese New Year, so as to obtain some of the rumored rewards; others are eager to divide the marshland that was drained by the construction of ditches before spring plowing, in order to cultivate it into fields as soon as possible.

; Others are praying that everything will be safe, so that the achievements of the levee can reach the center as soon as possible, and then get rid of the barriers of Zhao State!

Of course, there must be people like Gongsun Xun, who is loose on the outside and tight on the inside. He has thousands of things in front of him, but he keeps making all kinds of speculations in his heart.

However, as time went by, winter turned to spring, and until the New Year, everything went smoothly without any abnormality.

"A Yue's mother passed away," Gongsun Xun sighed in the back hall of the private house opposite the Handan County Temple, but put down the letter in his hand helplessly. "My aunt was also unlucky. She worked so hard when she was young, and now A Yue

Yue looked like he was going to be promising but just gave up and left... After the New Year, I sent someone home as our condolences, and I also wrote a personal letter to A Yue."

This kind of response was natural, so Zhao Yun, who was sitting across from several cases, immediately stopped what she was doing and nodded slightly to show her approval.

Then, the couple skipped the topic about Gongsun Yue.

It's not that they are unkind, but they are unable to discuss it in depth... After all, both of them know that this incident is not only the pain of losing his mother to Gongsun Yue, but also interrupts the latter's future. Originally, Gongsun Xun had already convinced his father-in-law

, Zhao Bao, the governor of western Liaoning, asked him to give Gongsun Yue a future as an accountant before leaving office, but this time it was all in vain. In addition, Gongsun Yue, who had just grown up, might also be because of

This misses the best time for marriage.

But again, the Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. If something like this happened, there was no way to do it... It was an irresistible force, and no one could be sure when he would die these days.

"A plague broke out in Jingxiang." Gongsun Xun picked up the second letter and couldn't help but frowned. "Cao Mengde said in the letter that as early as 2000, a plague broke out in Jingxiang, which was relatively warm, and no one could stop it.

System, and as the weather gets warmer, it gradually seems like the Central Plains from the north is sweeping in!"

Zhao Yun was nervous for a moment when he heard this, but in the end he had no choice but to say: "In winter and spring, wind and cold diseases are easy to spread, but there is no choice but to turn into an epidemic. We can only hope that the Yellow River can block this wave of plague."

"It should be blocked." Gongsun Xun shook his head repeatedly. This should be the flu that his mother said, but thousands of miles away, no one can do anything about this kind of thing. "If it is infected all the way from Jingxiang to Hebei, it will be fatal.

A pandemic that will go down in history.”

Zhao Yun lowered her head and continued to work on what she was doing.

"It seems that my father-in-law is going to join the center." Gongsun Xun picked up another letter from Gongsun Fan who was waiting at Liu Kuan's side. After reading it for a while, he came to the conclusion. "In the future, Ayun, you might be the one."

The so-called Gongqing family, don't you just dislike me?"

"Grandpa Ah Zhi is still the minister of the dynasty." Zhao Yun didn't even raise her head this time. "Her father and uncle were both ranked as Jiuqing last year. Why don't they still be honest to your husband and be your concubines? And for begging

I made some kind of Buddha statue at home, but when the cats fought, they were smashed to pieces and cried like a cat..."

"..."

"But speaking of my father's resignation, there is one thing I want to tell you, husband." Zhao Yun continued. "My grandmother actually wrote a letter about this matter. She said that she was getting older and she would not follow my father this time.

We have moved, and we are also planning to take some of the tribesmen from Qinghe to move to Liaodong, and we are also planning to buy land there and live there."

"Grandma really has a vision." Gongsun Xun could only say this. "You know where is a safe place, unlike some people..."

Zhao Yun couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Why is this? Just let Mr. Cai buy more fertile land. Now that it has become such a mess, even Cai Yan has been banned by his father and is not allowed to play in the backyard. I heard that this time Lang Jun started to cultivate land.

We have thousands of hectares of fertile farmland, so it’s not that bad, right?”

"It's not a matter of difference." Gongsun Xun immediately shook his head in denial. "It's just that everyone is like this, and they won't make an exception for him."

"Actually..." Although he hesitated for a moment, Zhao Yun still told the truth. "Not only Cai Gong, Luo Fu's mother came to visit her house a few days ago, and she couldn't help but talk about the land purchase quota. It seems that

The Qin family, and even the whole country, are quite dissatisfied with the land being given to the common people."

"If you are dissatisfied, you will be dissatisfied, but the laws must not be messed up." Gongsun Xun continued to look at the pile of letters in his hand that had suddenly increased due to the New Year, and slowly shook his head. "This time, the five thousand hectares of land are for the big families in the entire Zhao Kingdom.

, and the people of the three counties have worked hard together, and whoever deserves it can get the amount. Never favor one over the other, in case you break your trust! If the reward is unfair, who will work harder for you in the future?"

"That's what I said." Zhao Yun responded softly, then raised her head again. "But..."

"But how?"

"But can my husband stay in Zhao country for a long time? Is there another time when the common people can help?"

"What did you hear?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

"It's nothing." Zhao Yun rolled her eyes slightly and said. "Yesterday, the wife of my... elder brother Zhao Ping came to the house and unexpectedly thanked me, saying that it was Uncle Fang who brought up the issue of building the embankment a few years ago.

The memorial was sent to the Chancellery, and my clan father in the palace was overjoyed when he heard that Zhao Ping was among them..."

"I know what you mean." Gongsun Xun immediately laughed out loud. "This cheap brother of yours is about to jump to two thousand stones. And if even Zhao Ping can borrow two thousand stones for this,

How could I not get a county? Then if things happen to Zhao, there will be no next time! Is that what you mean?"

Zhao Yun had already lowered her head to deal with the things in her hands, looking nonchalant: "Actually, it's not just because of my clan brother. My husband, you should have been rewarded with two thousand dan for your previous contribution to destroying Goguryeo. But now.

After the New Year, Lang Jun is also twenty-five years old. It is your turn to rule a county anyway, and you must be worthy of a big county..."

"My wife's beauty in me is private." Gongsun Xun took advantage of the situation and made a joke.

"Perhaps." Zhao Yun was still calm. "However, if Azhi, Luo Fu and the others went to praise Lang Jun, they would definitely not be afraid of Mr. Yifu's wisdom and martial arts..."

Gongsun Xun was about to retort, but while he was speaking, a fat orange cat and a thin calico cat were chased away from the front of the hall by a big white cat, causing the entire back hall to become a mess, so he could only keep silent.

speechless.

After finally waiting for the three cats to be separated by the servant women, Gongsun Xun finally came back to his senses: "We have been sitting here for half a day, and I have never asked Ayun what on earth are you doing? This is the first time I saw you on Chinese Valentine's Day.

Doing needlework outside..."

"I'm making clothes for children." Zhao Yun calmly raised the object in her hand. "Does it look good to you, man?"

Gongsun Xun was speechless for a moment, just staring at the other party blankly.

"It's just a guess." Zhao Yun couldn't help but feel a little uneasy when she saw this, and her voice lowered. "My husband has only been back for twenty days, and I also happened to have something wrong on the day. I should have been red, but it didn't happen for three or five days in a row.

I thought it was just a normal thing to see him, but after asking a few older women, they all said congratulations... Of course, if not, just think it was done for A Li."

Gongsun Xun was also stunned.

This kind of thing...how should I put it, should be regarded as a happy event, right?

It's just that the days are too short, and it's really uncertain, so we can only wait and see what happens.

At this thought, Gongsun Xun was a little amused: "It seems that Xi Tianmu Di, taking the essence of Xinghan may not be useful, but I still have to stay in bed honestly..."

Zhao Yun was ashamed and angry for a moment, but in the end she could not conceal the anxiety and expectation in her brows.

In the next few days, Zhao Yun's expectations became more and more intense, and it seemed more and more certain. However, Gongsun Xun could not do anything just because of this kind of thing... He still had other things to be busy with:

For example, they used the name of the Spring Festival to write letters to communicate with each other and inquire about information;

For example, urging and preparing for spring plowing throughout Zhao;

Of course, they also sent people to Hedong to solve the case for Guan Yu and brought his unmarried wife to Handan;

They even organized a Cuju competition between public school students and Yi Cong... and distributed a large number of rewards and so-called scholarships.

In short, after the completion of the river embankment, Gongsun Xun's life seemed particularly fulfilling in the days after the Spring Festival.

However, just on the seventh day after this round of competition, and the sixth day when the public school resumed teaching, on the afternoon of the 23rd of the first lunar month... the little fat man Liu Zhang suddenly caught up with Gongsun Xun after class.

Gongsun Xun knowingly turned into a secluded place in the public school.

"Teacher!" Liu Zhang bowed respectfully, and then spoke nervously. "Earlier today, my master sent Manager Lu to deliver a letter, asking me to burn it after reading it, and then tell it to the teacher.

"

Gongsun Xun, who had always been self-informed and well-informed, was in a daze for a moment when he heard these words, but it didn't show on his face.

"Teacher!" Liu Zhang only thought that the other party was urging him, so he hurriedly explained. "It is indeed a big event, and it is a good thing. My Lord said that the imperial court has already agreed on your contribution, and I am afraid that it will be raised to two thousand dan immediately...

…”

"It's okay." Gongsun Xun, who came back to his senses, shook his head and laughed. "Tell me frankly, where is it?"

"It seems to be a plain." Liu Zhang replied immediately. "But it may also be Zhongshan... This will not be confirmed until the teacher goes to Luoyang."

A trip to Luoyang is inevitable. For an appointment of two thousand stones, you have to go to the center. In the past, it was to meet the saint, but now it is to pay. But...

"Your master doesn't even give an accurate word on this?" Gongsun Xun actually laughed in anger. "Are we still waiting to see what the consequences will be? Are Zhongshan and Pingyuan the same thing?"

Zhongshan Kingdom and Pingyuan Kingdom are naturally not the same thing. Zhongshan Kingdom has a population of 650,000 and is considered a large county. However, Pingyuan Kingdom has a population of one million and is the largest county in Qingzhou! There is a huge difference between the two.

Can the populations of the two Zhao states be the same thing? Even Liu Zhang knew they were not the same thing!

However, knowing what he knew, Liu Zhang could only bend down and say nothing... After all, he was just a messenger.

Of course, Gongsun Xun also understood that the boy in front of him was just a messenger and didn't understand anything.

So, he simply replied: "Go back and tell your adults, I can tolerate this 'Zhongshan or Plains' thing, but there is one thing I have to see with my own eyes!"

"Teacher, please clarify." Liu Zhang, who was confused, quickly leaned over.

"Ask your master to bring the documents for the capture of the important criminal." Gongsun Xun said solemnly.

"Wen, documents?"

"Of course! It doesn't matter if it's the Shang Shutai, the Huangmen Supervisor, or the Fang Bo of the state who issues the document on his own, but I will not take action until I have a serious scripture in my hands!" At this point, Gongsun Xun suddenly leaned over and picked up the other party.
