Royal Road

It is time for Japan to enter the slack season in winter, but the Shangdang party this winter is extremely busy. The prefectural government promulgated a new policy, the counties postponed the payment of autumn grain, allocated part of the grain and grass to accommodate the refugees, built Wubao, and renovated the city. Those who have spare capacity should open up wasteland and increase the number of official fields.

For this reason, the county government specially sent officials to inspect Anmin in all counties. Each county also issued a hundred horses and many plows for the refugees to use in land reclamation. The construction of the style of Wubao, the construction of water conservancy facilities such as car rollovers, and the detailed rules for work-for-relief were all clearly listed and handed over to the county magistrate.

Such an order is simply incredible. You must know that the entire Binzhou is now under the threat of the Huns. Liu Yuan is already offering sacrifices to the sky in the outskirts of Shinan, and I am afraid that he will ascend the throne and build a nation in a few days. The Shangdang is located in the throat of Bingzhou, facing the Huns. In such a place, it is too late for the people to flee. How can it be possible to build a city with peace of mind?

Not to mention that it was an order from the prefectural palace, or an order from the emperor, it may not work!

However, what surprised many aristocratic families was that the panic-stricken people of Qianshou had actually accepted such an arrangement. It was only because of the order that there was news that Lucheng had broken the Xiongnu's iron cavalry.

It is said that three or four thousand people were killed in one go! This horse was captured on the battlefield, so it was sent to them to open up wasteland. That group of Huns' rebellious army was no match for the soldiers of the new mansion. There are also legends that the mansion was the Buddha of Medicine, and the group of thieves who dared to offend the mansion were all smashed clean by thunder and meteors!

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and such claims gradually spread in counties. Everyone can see the war horse used as a farm cow, and there are still many people who pass through Lucheng and have seen the terrible Jingguan Corpse Mountain. In addition to the fact that Jinyang's epidemic prevention had been spread widely at the beginning, many people believed that there were gods and Buddha incarnations sitting in the palace of the county city to prevent them from the terrible military disaster and epidemic.

And the state is unstable. But if it's not in danger, who is willing to leave the homeland of birth? Not to mention that the chaos in Sizhou has not disappeared, and there are people in Yanzhou who have rebelled. Youzhou is full of ferocious yellow-headed Xianbei. Where can they survive? Rather than leave the hometown, it is better to rely on the ruler of Liang Mansion. At least he can let the county officials distribute food and relief, organize everyone to build a life-saving Wubao, and those dumping tools, which can even save the next year's harvest.

In troubled times, wherever there is a glimmer of hope, it will give people infinite courage. Therefore, in the face of these seemingly incredible decree, the people have no doubts, settle down obediently, and work hard for this line of vitality.

At this time, even the aristocratic families who were sitting on the sidelines became interested in the new prefect of the Shangdang party. There are also some that act quickly.

By the Weishan Water Reclining Pavilion.

Today is the first banquet hosted by Liang Fujun. Two months after he has been in office like this, he has only thought of the major families. It is simply unique. However, in the face of this extremely rude new prefect, all the families did not complain, let alone put on any reserved posture, all of them happily attended the appointment.

Without him, the experience of this prefect is truly legendary.

Before the Buddha's dream, Jinyang's epidemic prevention, and the requisition of the General's Mansion, etc., they have already made him out of the limelight. Unexpectedly, with the help of dozens of people, they eliminated the Chengdu kings who were in trouble with the party, won the three passes, and paved the way for the Dongying army to return to the army and merge into the state. It is a rare talent to be able to smooth the chaos so neatly, and what is even more impressive is the subsequent offensive and defensive battle of Lucheng. Overnight, the enemy camp was broken and thousands of Xiongnu spirits fled in embarrassment. Just rely on the hundreds of county soldiers in the county town? It's a miracle!

Coupled with the establishment of schools, recruiting talents, ordering counties to accept refugees, and other measures, no matter which one is enough, it is enough to attract people's attention. Now that a banquet is invited, who can resist curiosity and miss this opportunity to see the truth?

It's early winter, and the vegetation on the Weishan Mountain is withered and yellow, and there is no such thing as the green and pleasant charm of the past, and it is bleak. Liang Feng didn't wear gorgeous clothes, just a small green robe, white socks and plain shoes. In this desolation, he revealed a different style.

Now he is no longer a white-robed pavilion who is judged by others, no matter how simple and plain he is, no one will show contempt. However, there are still some people who speculate in their hearts that this Liang Mansion seems to have no permanent property and is in a tight situation. Why would he sell some Buddhist scriptures and paper to laugh generously? If such a person becomes a prefect, I am afraid that he will not really consider them for the nobles.

The gentry and the poor have always been very distinct. Liang Feng, who was born in a middle-class gentry, had vigorously appointed poor gentry, which was a bit hard to see. Looking at his poor manners, it makes everyone feel uncomfortable. If he is eccentric and frustrated everywhere, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the party to settle down.

As the head of a county, Liang Feng took the lead to speak: "Everything is busy when I come in, and I have never been free. There is so much negligence. Please forgive me."

Li Hao smiled and said, "Why do you have to be modest? To put down the prefecture and resist the enemy riding is far more important than amusement. If there is no such thing as a man, how can I wait and relax?"

This Li Hao was born in the Tongdan Li family, and is the largest family of Shangdang. His ancestor Li Xi used to be the official doctor of the Wei Kingdom. After the Sima clan replaced the Wei, he became an official to the Guanglu doctor, who was named Qihou, and the Taibao was paid after his death. Both Lee Ho's father and brother served as high-ranking officials. Therefore, even if he is not an official, his status is two points higher than others.

This sounded like flattery, but in fact it was a little bit suggestive. As the prefect of a county, Liang Feng really neglected these prominent families too much.

Liang Feng said: "It's just a mundane matter. Today I have a banquet and I am willing to have fun with all the monarchs."

This statement is like turning the topic away, and it also means inviting everyone to govern the party. Zao Zhuren are not the kind of vulgar objects that will be disappointed at the elegant banquet, and they are naturally seated.

After everyone sat down, a maidservant served tea soup. When they saw the tea cup in front of them clearly, many people were shocked. This is not an ordinary pottery bowl or celadon cup, but genuine white porcelain! It looks like a lotus bud with a vine branch as a handle, small and exquisite, and very elegant. It is rare to have more than ten, and the shape and form are generally the same, which shows the exquisite craftsmanship of the kiln workers!

Just this group of white porcelain cups is invaluable! Who dare to underestimate the person in front of him who just despised him? Liang Feng seemed to know what they were marveling at, and explained with a smile: "This is the method I learned from the temple. Take a good loose tea, boil it with mountain spring, no condiments such as green onion, ginger, cinnamon, etc., only taste tea. It’s so sweet, it’s so sweet."

The green tea leaves fall on the bottom of the snow-white cup, and there is light green tea soup in the cup. It looks so beautiful just in this way. After a sip, it is a mixture of joy and bitterness, and the aftertaste is endless. Now, who can not afford spices? Without the strong flavor of those precious spices, the tea soup has a refreshing feeling, just like the person sitting on the table, it is natural and natural.

"I never thought that Fujun could be so elegant. You will know the true taste of tea by tasting this tea." Someone jokingly said.

Liang Feng doesn't think that everyone can get used to this kind of tea. What's more, what he is trying to promote is not the tea.

With this cup of tea, the atmosphere immediately melted into harmony. The dishes are delicacies, delicious and unique, without losing any official banquet, and the owner did not show the intention of going to school, enjoying wine and fun, and chatting with everyone at will. The appearance of this new man was outstanding, and his posture was even more heartbreaking. After a meal, many people silently nodded in their hearts. This person was really still a nobleman.

With this class identity, other things become trivial. After all, in a family like theirs, no one would rush to court a prefect. It can even be said that the prefects are the official positions that most people can reach. On the contrary, respecting them and relying on the gentry is the attitude these people look forward to most.

A banquet didn't involve any business affairs, but let everyone see the celebrity demeanor of the new mansion. However, the other party is different from other celebrities who like to hold jade ruyi, feather fan, and tail. In his hand, there is only a string of beads wrapped around his wrist, and he will occasionally dial it twice during a conversation. Nowadays, many monks have entered Middle-earth. Although Buddhist beads are not very common, they are not unknown. It's just that he will wrap the Buddha beads around his wrists, which is really rare.

As if unable to restrain the curiosity in his heart, one person asked, "Dare to ask the monarch, is the string of beads in your hand a Buddhist gift?"

This question is a bit rude, but Liang Feng doesn't think it is disgusting: "This is for holding pearls. One hundred and eight will be reduced to thirty-six. You can carry it with you. The purpose is to restrain the body and mind and increase wisdom. Although it is a trail, it is also Beneficial merit."

He said lightly, but everyone had already set their sights on the string of Buddhist beads. Unlike other Buddhist beads, this bead is mostly jade, crystal clear, making the thin wrist even more delicate. However, among the jade beads, there are six distinctive beads, divided into two colors, blue and red, and when they look closely, they look like colored glaze.

Is this really Liuli? Why can it be so round and clear? But this question is really not good enough to be asked in detail in the public. Everyone turned the topic to Buddhism again. After all, I came prepared, most people can talk about a few words, and there are quite a few who have delved into the Diamond Sutra.

Liang Feng answered one by one, with no color on his face. Holding the beads in his hand, he also turned a little bit more frequently. Let those few colored glaze beads appear in front of everyone from time to time.

After a meal, the host and guests enjoyed themselves. Everyone went down to the Weishan Mountain and set off for their home. However, as soon as Liang Feng got into the bullock cart, the guard whispered: "Fujun, the Xue family and the Wei family, please see you."

I just wanted to make an appointment just after having dinner, but these two are still the same. Liang Feng smiled: "Please come back to the mansion with me to discuss it in detail."
