When Wang Lengran, the governor of Jiangzhou, could not keep a low profile for some reasons.

As the governor of Jiangzhou, Ouyang Rong left Fusu and went out of the city together to inspect the counties. At the same time, he led the Jiangnan Road pacification ambassador, King Xunyang Li Xian, to appease the newly returned officials and people of the counties.

Along the way, their group was warmly welcomed by local officials and gentry.

Thanks to the rapid "surrender" in the previous two times and the flexibility of focusing on one thing, the people in the counties under Jiangzhou were not affected too much by the wars caused by the rebellion of the Kuangfu Army, and the autumn harvest was not affected.

For the people planting rice and harvesting wheat in the countryside, the tug-of-war between Jiangzhou Wangshi and Hongzhou Kuangfu's army has mostly nothing to do with them.

The so-called righteousness of Kuang Fu Li Qian is also far away from them.

On the contrary, the family ethics drama staged by several emperors of the Liqian royal family and Empress Wei is still being serialized to this day, which has made everyone enjoy it for many years and talk about it even more.

After all, compared with the righteousness of the rule of law, this kind of bloody family affairs can be more understood and even sympathized by the folks with less than half a percent literacy rate.

But these are not as important as the problem of how to spend the autumn and winter in front of them.

Therefore, for the people of the Jiangnan states who have lived in peace for many years, as long as exorbitant taxes are not imposed and forced military service is imminent,

So these battles for restoration seemed far away from their lives. At most, the news that a certain frontier army in the north had another great victory in expanding its frontiers was a little inspiring and aroused the pride of Han'er in his bones.

In fact, this also benefited from the system of Da Qian and Da Zhou Wei soldiers.

These wars are all handled by a large number of professional soldiers composed of good family members, that is, the soldiers of each Zichong mansion.

This enables most people to live and work in peace and contentment.

Also because the channels for military promotion still exist, many soldiers in the government are happy to hear about the war in the face of territorial expansion.

After all, another way to study in the imperial examination has just been opened up. In the past, it was monopolized by aristocratic families for hundreds of years before Zhou Dynasty. The difficulty level is still too high. Not everyone has a scholarly family like Ouyang Lianghan, who can study with peace of mind and compete for it. The dozens of places released on the list every year,

Among the people, most people are not even considered common people from poor families. Most of the aspiring men at the bottom can only pursue military merit.

Or it could be like what Yan Liulang did before he met Ouyang Rong. He gave birth to a good child and had a father who was a small official. He could inherit his father's business and reluctantly followed the career of an official with an iron rice bowl. .

However, this age of peace, when you can have a high probability of making a living as long as you work, is much better than the century-old wars in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the precarious situation during the reshuffle and fusion of Hu and Han.

Expanding the territory and winning a great victory, bringing all nations to Korea and opening up trade routes can at least reduce involution and allow ten people to get their share of the cake.

It is worthy of rewarding a place where there are only a few flourishes on the blank pages of history books.

This is the current situation of most people at the bottom of the Zhou Dynasty. They are hovering on the line of food and clothing, struggling to move forward.

There are very few people who can purely represent and defend their interests.

Although in the court, almost all the time there were people "asking for orders for the people" and even denounced the emperor for it.

This time Ouyang Rong took Da Lang away to inspect the place. In addition to letting him, the Crown Prince of Xunyang, appear, and another reason, the most important thing was to let Da Lang, who was busy studying and not lacking in food and clothing, see the truth and current situation.

Instead of sitting in Prince Xunyang's Mansion all day long, surrounded by counselors, guests, and careerists, with only the Liwei struggle, the glory of ancestors, and the books of Confucian sages in his mind.

Ouyang Rong only treats his good friend Li Fusu and will guide him in this way.

For a certain little princess with plum blossom makeup, Ouyang Rong would not bother at all.

Because unlike her brother, it's not that she doesn't know, she knows it too well. Even if she doesn't know, she can understand it, but she can only say "oh".

Because she is a smart person.

What is a smart person?

They only care about the interests of themselves, their families, and their allies. The more they know, the smarter they become, but the more they only help the first point.

Li Guo'er can share adversity and wealth, and it is not impossible for him to even sacrifice for his family, just like when he was chased by Wei Shaoxuan and turned around to buy time for his father and brother to escape.

But these are only for people and allies she recognizes.

But to be fair, Li Guoer has also undergone some changes.

I personally experienced Ouyang Rong uniting to control floods in Longcheng County and outsmarting bullies, and witnessed the tragic deaths of the three brothers Liu Ziwen, who were also smart people, and their homes were confiscated and destroyed by the people led by Ouyang Rong.

Li Guo'er silently agreed with what her junior sister had said before, that water could capsize a boat and also carry it, and she felt a little in awe of even a small spoonful of "water".

At least from now on, when one's own interests stand in opposition to the interests of the majority of the people, they will hesitate and dare not take a peek.

This change made Ouyang Rong treat him differently.

At least it's not so "different".

Patrolling down with Li Dalang.

Ouyang Rong smoothly dealt with more than a dozen corrupt officials who tried to get away with it.

Other than that, the journey was generally smooth.

In addition, I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but the destination of this trip was Longcheng County.

In the next two days, the group passed through Jishui, Hukou and other counties.

The convoy is preparing to head to the penultimate stop of this trip, a remote county called Wannian, which is about the same location as Longcheng County, with poor mountains and harsh waters.

In the evening of that day, approaching ten thousand years, the sky was burning with clouds. The traveling carriage team slowly stopped to rest. Li Dalang dismissed the escort and boarded a familiar carriage in the team. Only Xie Lingjiang was left in the carriage.

.

When I passed by the inn for lunch just now, there was Ouyang Rong's figure here, but now he has disappeared.

Also missing was the piano-shaped wooden box that Xie Lingjiang held in his arms throughout the whole process.

Li Dalang asked calmly:

"gone?"

"Yeah. People are here at Dragon City, earlier than expected. He has to go there earlier."

"It doesn't matter if you go alone. There's no danger here. Why don't you thank me and go with him?"

"No need, I brought the sword." Xie Lingjiang leaned forward on his seat, resting his elbows on his knees, biting his nails quietly, lowered his head and muttered: "He said last time that he can now kill a junior sister with one sword."

"..."

Li Fusu couldn't help but ask: "Then let's..."

"Now continue to patrol, as usual these two days, pass by Longcheng, and then pick him up."
