Looking at the sunset in the sky, Cai Qi shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "The scenery in the countryside is beautiful morning and night. The sunset and sunset always look lost in the city, and it is better to watch it in the countryside."

Li Zi and Yan Shu said it one after another. This is the beauty that poetic and picturesque, and that literati can most appreciate.

The folding fan was a souvenir given to the officials who came to his house, which was also his habit in his previous life. Every time he organized a large-scale event, he had to give some to the participants, either a water cup, a hat, or even a towel.

Traditionally, Chinese people have always used round fans, goose feather fans, and folding fans are said to have been introduced from Goryeo, and some say they were introduced from Japan to the Central Plains. I don’t know whether it is true or not. At this time, there were people selling them in Kaifeng City, but they were all very rough and worthless. As for the later popular literati-song fan, there was no one at this time.

Xu Ping was the first to set the trend. He used good silk to ask someone to draw flowers and birds, or asked famous artists to write poems on the fan, and then gave them to everyone as a souvenir. The officials who were waiting for the above were given names and writing, while the officials were usually painted by ordinary painters. At this time, the famous calligraphy and painting masters who were famous were extremely expensive, and Xu Ping could not afford to be extravagant.

Cai Qi liked this fan very much and held it in his hand all day long, which made him look a bit more elegant in the literati in Xu Ping's memory.

After chatting for a while, I said I would go back to the main business.

Cai Qi said: "I'm not hiding Xu Waijian. When I was watching in your yard, I just thought the spinning and loom machines were dazzling, but I didn't think it was so great. After watching these two days, I found that the cloth weaving was piled up in a short period of time. Then I realized that I saw it badly two days ago."

"Yes, this cloth is sold at a cheaper price. The skill I used to weave a piece of cloth before can now be weaved ten or twenty pieces. In total, it's still a lot more."

Li Shu was just in her early thirties and was a prodigy. In the fifth year of Tiansheng, she was awarded the title of Jinshi. At this time, she was a member of the Ministry of Rites and a compiler of the History Museum. Because she was a master of imperial edicts, the two lyrics had a noble status and had always sat with the priest and scholars. But among these people, including Xu Ping, both officials and positions were much higher than him, and he had never said much. Now that the matter has been completed, he also tried to express his own opinions.

Yan Shu nodded: "Now it is just in Xu Waijian's farm, everything is not very complete. I heard from the watch that if the cotton is transported to the Sanshi, it will be one or two times faster. If this is true, if the cotton is really available, how much cloth will be needed in a year? At that time, I am afraid that the ships transport cloth will run all year round."

That's what I need. After so much effort, if I only weave two pieces of cloth to supply the people of the capital, Xu Ping felt that it was too unpaid. From the afternoon, the field management under Wang Gongchen was mainly promoted on a large scale, and the Sansi field management was fully operational. Xu Ping also wanted to know how much cloth could weave a year.

The sun gradually sets down the mountain, and the cool breeze is whispering. The evening breeze in the countryside always has a strange smell than in the city. It is more comfortable to blow on people and makes people feel refreshed.

The cotton-picking army has gathered more than a thousand people. This season, you can just set up a tent and stay there. Xuping Village is just a good place to manage food. Lu Song is busy and takes the shopkeepers to greet those people.

Xu Ping was in the garden and accompanied the officials who came to visit. He stayed for another day tomorrow, summarized the gains of these days, and visited around him. It was time to return to Beijing the day after tomorrow.

Xu Ping's village is not far from Pushebei, which is a famous scenic spot in Zhengzhou. When you come, you always have to go and take a look.

When the food and food come up, the garden suddenly becomes lively. These days are also a rare opportunity for officials to contact each other. After getting along for a few days, some people have similar tempers and have deeper feelings.

The moon in the sky got up and lie happily in the sky.

Xu Ping accompanied Cai Qi and Li Zi and a few others to sit by the oven, slowly roasting the newly slaughtered lamb. It took only a few days, and these people were used to this slightly rough way of eating. People are always affected by the environment, and the vast countryside places are not so particular.

Suddenly, a sudden sound of horse hooves came, breaking the tranquility of the night.

Xu Ping suddenly stood up and said to Sun Qilang not far away: "Go and see who it is. We are the only village here, so the people who come must be looking for us."

Sun Qilang promised and turned around and left the garden.

After a while, Sun Qilang hurriedly walked into the garden with Li Zhang.

When he arrived, Li Zhang and Cai Qi and others met Li before he said to Xu Ping: "Brother, let me talk."

After leaving everyone, the two of them arrived in a secluded place, Xu Ping asked, "What's the urgent matter? You came here overnight! Could it be that something happened at my house?"

Li Zhang shook his head: "Brother, don't worry, everything is fine at home, it's a small matter in the court-"

Li Zhang told Xu Ping completely what he saw and heard when he was on duty at the Gumen today.

Finally, Li Zhang said, "When I left, a bridge and road army from Yongzhou seemed to be the leader, confronting Taiwei Yang's people. It seems that they will fight at any time. - Brother, Taiwei Yang is not good, and he is also the clan brother of Queen Mother Yang. The Queen Mother entered the palace since she was a child, and there was only such a relative left in the family. If he really started to make trouble regardless, the face of Queen Mother Yang, the official family would be afraid that the people from Yongzhou would be severely punished."

Xu Ping did not answer, pondered for a while, and asked Li Zhang: "You said that Qiao Datou, who came from Mount Wutai, discovered Fanbang's fine works? Have you ever said that those fine works are for what they are for?"

Li Zhang smiled bitterly: "At that time, I just wanted to calm things down. Who would care about what that person said?"

"If things need to be resolved, they still have to fall on Qiao Datou. How can I not ask?"

After Xu Ping finished speaking, he thought about it and said, "You can wait here for a while, I'll come."

Li Zhang agreed and looked at Xu Ping and turned around.

After a while, Xu Ping and Li Zi walked together, talking while walking, and then returned to Li Zhang.

"I will tell you what I said to you just now. The matter is quite serious, so you must explain it carefully."

Li Zhang calmed down, rationalized his thoughts, and said again what he had just said to Xu Ping.

After listening quietly, Li Zi asked Xu Ping: "Xu Ping, what do you think? What should you do now?"

"My husband, I am frank, Wutai Mountain is in Daizhou, and people from foreign countries are prohibited from doing business there. In recent days, only Dangxiang, the few people who can be dealt with in the past few days. In the past two years, Dangxiang has been in conflict with the court, and Dangxiang has been provoking trouble, and the court has repeatedly tolerated it. Since this year, border conflicts have become more serious in the past few years. Dangxiang Zhao Yuanhao's rebellion has been revealed, and many people inside and outside the court have seen it."

Li Zi was silent for a while before saying, "The Khitan is the great enemy of the court. Dangxiang Xiaobang, don't you dare to rebel?"

"What are you afraid of? Dangxiang has rebelled several times since the founding of this dynasty. Although the court sent large troops to conquer the previous few times, it did not hurt Dangxiang's muscles and bones, and they also benefited a lot of benefits for nothing. Yuan Hao was unruly by nature. Since he succeeded to the throne, Dangxiang's policies have been changed, and he no longer needed the reign of this dynasty in the territory. The rebellion has been revealed!"

Li Zi sighed and said nothing. The Privy Council is in charge of military, political and border affairs. He knows the situation more clearly than Xu Ping. Deep in his heart, he also knows that Dangxiang is very dangerous now? But now the consensus between the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council is that the enemy is in the north but not in the northwest, and defense is far more important than defense in the northwest. No matter how troubles Dangxiang is, it is mainly about appeasement and does not prepare for large-scale conflicts. Military forces should still be deployed in the Hebei area to prevent Khitan raids.

With such a big policy, Song even thought that no matter how powerful Zhao Yuanhao was, he did not see it.

Li Zhang was on duty at Hemen. He knew much about the government affairs, including some ministers, but he knew little about the real major national affairs. He had no idea whether Dangxiang would rebel.

In the night in the countryside, all kinds of unknown insects screamed extremely happily and their voices were clear. The clear sound of insects made the night quieter. The night was like a quiet lake water, and ripples would appear with a slight touch.

After a long silence, Li Zi said to Xu Ping: "Xu Waijian thought that the military information brought back by Qiao Datou is very important to the court? Once you miss it, the border situation may be unexpected?"

Xu Ping emphasized the key point: "Not bad! I know this Qiao Datou. When I first arrived in Yongzhou, he and Chen Laoshi looked at the abandoned Yongzhou official winery. Chen Laoshi and Qiao Datou's father were both imperial guards who were selected from Hedong Road in the early years. When Emperor Taizong failed to conquer Jiaozhi and fled to Lingnan. To be honest, Qiao Datou had a little brain, and he was stubborn in thinking and doing things. If you ask him to make up a lie, he couldn't make up this person. Since he said he was reporting to the local officials, the local county magistrate didn't believe it and beat him up. He wanted to go to the capital to beat the drum, then this matter would be 90% credible."

"How can such a person know what military information is? How can he be trustworthy?"

"I was in Yongzhou, and since Liangzhou, Qiao Datou and Chen Houshi have been in Shenglong Mansion as guides and have been entering Shenglong Mansion at the forefront of the army. His brain axis is the axis, and the military situation can be clearly distinguished!"

Li Zi sighed: "What should I do according to the waiting system?"

"My husband and I went back to Beijing overnight to save Qiao Datou and ask the matter clearly. If Dangxiang really sent a detailed task, and Qiao Datou was really beaten to death by Taiwei Yang, if the matter spreads, wouldn't Dangxiang Zhao Yuanhao laugh? He was still between rebelling or not, and seeing that the court affairs were so chaotic, I was afraid that he would rebel immediately!"
