After leaving Duyang, we passed through Fangcheng Pass, entered Wanye Corridor, passed through Ye County and Kunyang, and arrived at Xiangcheng on the sixth day of July.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so a group of people often rush on the road at dawn, rest at noon, and then walk again in the afternoon after the sun turns west.

Yangman has already said goodbye and left.

After hurrying and slowing down, when we arrived at Xuchang we met a team transporting cattle, sheep and horses from Guangchengze, so we followed them.

On July 11, when entering Chenliu territory, he met Yin Xian who had returned to Yingchuan from Jibei and then headed north again to Bianliang.

Yin Xian was originally the Prime Minister of Jibei, assisting Xun Zhen in resisting Cao Yi. As the Prime Minister, he led troops into battle several times, but felt quite powerless. After all, there is a difference between giving a counselor a compliment and actually leading troops to fight. They are two completely different things.

"Hong Qiao's visit to Bianliang?" Yang Man greeted from afar.

"Zu Yan?" Yin Xian, who was sitting under the shade of a tree next to the bullock cart, heard this. He was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It must be you! What? Can't wait to become a servant?"

Yang Man smiled and said, "Didn't Hong Qiao also receive an official position in the principality?"

"It's just a job to support Cao Shangshu, but it's not as good as serving the minister." Yin Xian said with a smile.

Cao Cao's Duke of Wei had a staff department, including Zuo Min, Wu Bing, Ke Cao, Du Zhi Wu Cao, and the Shangshu was in charge of its affairs.

Shao Xun's Duke Liang had a staff department, Zuo Min, Wu Bing, Dian Zhong, Du Zhi, Tian Cao and six Cao Cao. The minister was in charge of his affairs. When Yin Xian came back from Jibei, he took the post of Du Zhi Shangshu.

"Du Zhi is in charge of the country's money and food, but it is an important official position." Yangman greeted his followers, walked over and sat down.

"It's not easy to do this." Yin Xian sighed: "There are many places to spend money, but there is not enough money. I have to go to places outside Liang to ask for money. Then the words will be ugly and my face will be ugly. Do you think I am willing?"

Yangman looked at his face and smiled without saying a word.

Does Liang Guo have money? There must be some. After so many years of rest and recuperation, most of the household registration has been cleared. As long as the officials are in place and taxes are collected normally, not to mention enough for use, at least it can make up for most of the expenses.

However, during the construction of Liang Palace and Bianliang City, the gap in money and food is indeed huge.

Of course, this does not mean that Yin Xian was rushing to the top and became the minister of the branch out of desperation. According to Yangman's observation, Yin Hongqiao was still very happy to occupy an official position.

After all, the Third Duke of the Duke/Kingdom of Wei at that time was directly transferred to the Third Duke of Cao Wei after the abdication, and other positions are generally the same.

As time goes by, more and more people will crowd into the Liang Kingdom instead of the Jin Dynasty. At the worst, they will crowd into the General's Mansion.

"Hong Qiao, Yingchuan is so talented, how many people will join this time?" Yang Man asked.

"You will know that Yingchuan is not at peace." Yin Xian said with a smile: "When I came back from Jibei, I visited relatives and friends, and everyone wanted to serve Liang Gong. Liang Gong was also generous, and the three Dukes gave him

The first one will be given to the six ministers, and the second one will be given to the six ministers."

In the Liang State, the Prime Minister, the Imperial Censor, and the Taiwei were the three Dukes.

Among them, Yu Chen from Yingchuan was appointed as the prime minister, Pan Tao from Xingyang was appointed as the censor, and the Taiwei was given to Pei Kang, who was bedridden.

The six ministers were Weiwei, Dali, Taipu, Da Nong, Lieutenant and Shaofu. Among them, Weiwei was given to Chen Qi of Yingchuan, who had just resigned from the military post of the Forbidden Army, and Shaofu was appointed by Yu Zhi, the prefect of Gaoping.

There were three of them among the Three Officials and Six Ministers, and they took great care of the face of the Yingchuan scholars.

Among the six Cao Caoshu, Yingchuan Yinxian was the Duzhi Shangshu, and Yingchuan Zaosong was the Zuomin Cao Shangshu. They were also very considerate - the Shangshu Ling who took charge of the six Cao Cao was Hedong Pei Miao.

Yingchuan is just a county, but it has secured so many key positions. How can we not be happy? It is very peaceful on the ground, and the elders and elders are congratulating each other and smiling happily.

What is this called? According to later generations, this is dividend distribution and sharing of the benefits brought by the development of the company.

The people of Yingchuan sent troops and grain many times, married five daughters at once, and worked hard in the court. Shouldn't they get feedback?

Seeing Yin Xian's happy look, Yang Man didn't want to say anything.

He had just heard that many of the students that Mr. Liang had led over the past ten years had risen to the rank of commander of ten counties.

In a few years, there will be more prefects, because Liang Gong will take care of them and promote them.

After becoming a prefect, with qualifications and reputation established, it is natural to move up the ranks.

Why is Yin Xian so happy?

This is a very different person from Cao Mengde, and their determination at the beginning was different.

"Well, I've rested enough, I have to get on the road quickly." After eating some water, Yin Xian warmly invited Yang Man to ride in the ox cart.

"The Fangzhou Pavilion has been completed, and Yu Yuangui is building the Huangnu Palace and the Guanfeng Hall. Oh, and there is also the Sheji Ancestral Temple." When they got in the car, Yin Xian was still chattering: "I don't have enough money and food, so I have to rush there quickly to save money.

Order flowers, don’t delay the construction of the ancestral temple.”

Yang Man nodded with a smile and got into the car with Yin Xian.

The ancestral temple of Liang Gong had five temples built according to the ritual system of the feudal princes. It was indeed more important to serve as a permanent leader.

He heard something last time that Wang Yan found a few people to compile the deeds of his ancestors for Liang Gong.

Someone told this as a joke at a gathering of scholars. The implication is that your family has been a military slave for generations. What deeds can you arrange?

Scholars, because of jealousy and dissatisfaction, always try to find some sense of superiority in these places. They did not dare to say it in front of Liang Gong, so they had to ridicule him in private gatherings.

But then again, the Sheji Ancestral Temple is indeed important, no wonder Yin Xian is so concerned about it.

In his heart, he probably looked down on Mr. Liang a little, but when he moved his body, he acted in such a flattering manner. From being his niece Yin Shi to being Mr. Chen's concubine, it was so easy.

The rise of Duke Liang caused mental problems for many scholars...

But this is good, at least they will not cause chaos. The current situation in the world is not easy. The Taiyang clan has been invaded repeatedly by Wang Mi, Cao Yi, Zhao Gu and the Huns. They do not want the world to fall apart again.

The ship docked quietly on the shore.

A group of strong men and women rushed over to help unload the goods.

Yuan Xi was very nervous and immediately led his troops off the ship, keeping a distance of seven or eight steps to prevent anyone from intruding at will.

"Where did they come from?" Liu asked in surprise after getting off the boat.

"I heard that they are family members of the government soldiers. They come here to carry goods in their spare time and earn some money and food." Liu's nephew Liu Yi replied.

"Why are Fu Bing's family like this?" Mrs. Liu was a little puzzled: "They speak Luoyang dialect..."

"My aunt is right." Liu Yi said with a smile: "In the Battle of Xin'an, a large number of Henan men were recruited, and more than half of them were killed or injured. Liang Gong ordered that 1,200 people be selected from the self-inflicted soldiers and moved to the west of Liang in Bian.

Longxiang Mansion. These are the people. They came late and the harvest this year was gone. They had nothing to do, so they came out to work to supplement their family income."

"That's it." Mrs. Liu looked at it for a while and then asked: "Are the soldiers grateful to him?"

Liu Yi glanced at his aunt and said: "Once you become a soldier, you can take your family out of Wubao Manor and grant them fields. Although the fields belong to the court, as long as your children and nephews can continue to be soldiers, the land will not

Being taken away. This is a change of fate that goes against the will of heaven, so naturally I am very grateful."

Mrs. Liu hummed, and secretly went north from Nanyang, passing through Nanyang, Xiangcheng, Yingchuan, Chenliu and Bianliang. There was almost no trouble in the counties and counties. The people lived in peace and quiet, and the scholars went to the fields for gatherings. There was almost no change.

Pretty much the same as usual.

The reason for this must be the pressure from the government soldiers.

He can really be relied on.

After leaving Hepu, there were several carriages waiting not far away.

"See you, Princess." A kind-faced old man stood on the roadside, smiling and saluting.

"You are an elder, so don't be too polite." Ms. Liu hurriedly returned the greeting.

Liu Yi took the opportunity to introduce that this was the new servant of the Liang Kingdom, Yang Xia Yuan Chong, who had been ordered by Liang Gong to prepare chariots and horses to welcome him.

Mrs. Liu listened and bowed again.

"There is no need for this." Yuan Chong waved his hand and said: "I didn't need to come in person, but Mr. Liang was uneasy, so I came in person. Princess, please get in the car."

After saying that, he glanced at Fu Bao, who was standing neatly behind his mother, intentionally or unintentionally.

The motorcade set off quickly and soon arrived at Fangzhou Pavilion in the northwest of Bianliang.

Shao Xun was inspecting the sand sea with the general's assistants and Liang Guo officials to determine the location for building flood control dams. After receiving the news, he asked Prime Minister Yu Chen to lead everyone to continue the survey, while he quietly slipped away far away.

"Grandpa!" Fu Bao jumped out of the carriage and ran over happily.

It’s over! Liu’s mind went blank.

Thousands of warnings and instructions were of no use in the end. My daughter still remembered the time when her father played with her, and she missed him so much that she rushed towards him as soon as she got off the car, forgetting everything.

The servant Yuan Chong and his subordinates all turned away and remained speechless.

Farther away by the embankment, someone was looking vaguely, but they quickly turned around.

Shao Xun was also a little caught off guard. After being stunned for a moment, he no longer hesitated, walked forward, opened his arms, and picked up his daughter high.

Mrs. Liu trembled, but she saw Shao Xun walking towards her with a smile, stretched out a hand and held her firmly.

Mrs. Liu blushed extremely, and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

The man was very strong, and she was still shy at first and resisted a little. But after walking for a while, she glanced at the man, raised her head, and let him hold his hand.

Fu Bao lay on Shao Xun's shoulder, looking around with her round eyes. When she saw that the roadside was full of assistants, petty officials, and warriors, she felt a little embarrassed and buried her face in her father's arms.

So happy! I can play with my father again.

After walking through a newly built path, Shao Xun and others passed by the iconic pavilion and then came to a small courtyard hidden among flowers and trees.

The soldiers inside and outside the courtyard saluted one after another.

Fu Bao looked at them and felt that they were no different from his own home. No, this small courtyard was also his home.
