Since Xuan Biao became sensible, he has followed his father to travel around the world, not to avoid disasters and hatred, but to avoid officials.

His father Xuanbing's name was Jugong. He was young and praised Gaojie and was famous for his reputation as Sanfu. He also entered the capital to be a small official, but in the previous dynasty, Xuanbing resigned from his post when he saw that Wang was in power and had a tendency to rebel.

According to the fashion of the times, such people resigning from office will often lead to higher-level recruitment. Sure enough, Erqianshi sent people to be Cao's servant, and Xuanbing said he was not accused of being an official.

After Wang Mang made new business in the Han Dynasty, celebrities from all over the world needed to decorate the court. After hearing about Xuanbing's reputation, he specially ordered the envoy to be called filial and honest. Xuanbing simply took his family away and lived in seclusion in Xiuling County, the most remote county in the county.

But he was still found. Fortunately, the county chief Zhang Zhan was a great charity and did not make any trouble for him after sending someone to fight again.

"You misunderstood. I am not here to recruit Duke Xuan for the county and county."

Wu Lun waved his hand to let Lu Sefu and others lead the way back. Even his entourage was waiting under the plateau. He walked forward alone, came to Xuan Biao, and whispered: "What's more, if it weren't for being forced by the government with a bow and knife, I wouldn't want to be an official. Don't do to others what I don't want to do to you. The fifth Lun naturally understands this truth."

Xuan Biao was stunned: "The fifth uncle fish who gave in four words?"

This number forced obsessive-compulsive disorder to death. I don’t know if I can get all my five words and five words in my life.

If you don’t look at the results, Xuanbing’s approach is exactly the same as the fifth reunion. The only difference is that people are truly rejecting being officials in the new dynasty, while the fifth reunion is waiting for the price and waiting for the time to move.

But Xuan Biao didn't understand one thing, but believed in the words of the fifth reunion and had a much better attitude towards him. He also heard that it was his father's "old friend" who asked him to come and visit him. He was even more enthusiastic, so he led the way forward and led the fifth reunion to the plateau.

The millet and wheat beside the road were wilted, and it seemed that the harvest was not good. The farmers who were leaning on farm tools and clothes were looking at the fifth reunion on both sides of the road, talking to each other in dialects, but they fell into the ears of the fifth reunion.

There are several simple adobe kiln houses on the plateau. An old man in fifties dressed no differently from a farmer. He used straw to teach a few children to weave straw shoes under the eaves. The straw poles were very skilled in his hands.

"That's my father."

Seeing Xuan Biao bringing the guests to the plateau, Xuan Bing stood up, wiped his hands on his clothes, and bowed to the fifth reunion. The etiquette of Confucian scholars was still there.

The fifth reunion does not have any inexplicable evil feelings towards hermits like Xuanbing. It is not easy for everyone in this world. It is already very good to be able to live in the mountains and farm in the mountains for twenty years, and be satisfied with keeping oneself alone and not joining the ranks of harming insects and eating tigers.

What's more, Di Wu Ren himself is in a state of resigning from office and running away at any time.

After Xuan Bing entered the cave, he saw that it was very simple inside. The cloths that were sewn and patched were neatly folded, and the utensils were all pottery, but they were washed very clean.

The fifth relationship is clear about the purpose of the coming: "After the invitation of Master Yang Ziyun, I came to visit Mr. Xuan. This place is remote and lacks medicine. My teacher asked me to send some here."

Xuan Bing looked sad: "I haven't seen you for almost twenty years, how are you okay with Mr. Ziyun?"

Wu Lun shook his head. Yang Xiong has been ill for a long time this year. With his leg injury, it is difficult for him to walk around the inside and outside with crutches. After all, he is already seventy-two years old, so Tianshou is probably not far away. However, the fifth Dog is the same age as Yang Xiong, but he is very energetic.

Perhaps he felt that his deadline was approaching, so Yang Xiong thought of some old friends and asked the fifth reunion to see Xuanbing. The two had been in Chang'an back then.

It happened that Xuan Biao was holding a pottery and pouring water for Di Wulun to drink. After hearing the conversation, his face changed and his tone suddenly became cold.

"I thought you were a noble man, but I didn't expect you to be a disciple of Yang Xiong. Why should my father be so polite and let me drive him out."

Xuan Bing Buyun: "Shut up, what do you know?"

Xuan Biao was dissatisfied: "I heard that my father invited Yang Xiong when he was in seclusion, but he couldn't bear to leave the doctor Li Lu and did not accompany him."

"When I went to Chang'an to buy medicine, I heard people sing... I was lonely and went to the palace; I loved purity and made a talisman. Yang Xiong did this so much that he was a wishful person in the hometown. He taught his disciples the kind of master. No wonder you quit several times and finally became an official!"

It is true that Yang Xiong has a black history, and the fifth reunion also misunderstood the old man at first.

But after getting along for a long time, he found that Yang Xiong was indeed wronged. Qin Meixin was sincere. After all, Wang Mang was still a "saint" at that time. He had not done his life and was forced to die and not be humiliated.

As a result, the man did not die, his legs were broken, but he died in Chang'an society, and he could only remain silent when he was arranged.

In the eyes of the fifth reunion, Yang's ambition is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper. He once paid tribute to Qu Yuan, but he did not agree with Qu Zi's struggle to die. He often said to him: "A gentleman will do great things when he gets the time, and if he doesn't get the time, he will be a dragon and a snake. It is better to protect himself than to be in danger."

So Yang Xiong was dissatisfied with the government, but he only dared to close the door and muttered quietly, not dared to shout and criticize him, and would not break up with him like Xuan Bing, and chose to hide in the city and be in a daze.

He is just an ordinary person who becomes more timid and afraid of things as he gets older.

But a jade with many flaws is still jade.

What's more, he is the teacher of the fifth reunion after all.

Wu Lun looked at Xuan Biao with his eyes squintedly: "Of course I am not a noble man, but after what you said, I not only want to be a hermit, but also want to be a righteous man?"

Xuan Biao said: "Yes, I'm not bad, I'm going to be in danger of going to Yiling, and I'm the same fate as my life and death!"

Wu Lun smiled and said, "In this way, the reason why you lived in seclusion with Duke Xuan must be dissatisfied with the court, right?"

"I'm here to work hard and sing what 'Sages are not defeated'? Singing at night until the brightness, and singing at night until the night, can you still sing this world well?"

"When criticizing Ziyun Weng was so strong, why didn't you use this indignation to imitate Zhai Yi and raise the flag to go to Yi?"

"Since I don't dare, why bother laughing at me for fifty steps."

Xuan Biao did not expect that the fifth reunion could be so good, so he was caught off guard and speechless for a moment.

The fifth reunion said at the end: "What's more, since you don't recognize my teacher, what did you say when you just cultivated the land? Have you asked me?"

Xuan Biao was stunned: "This is Yang Xiong's poem? Isn't it the song my father hums on weekdays?"

"It is indeed the poem by Yangziyun. His "Ban Li Sao" was given to me when I decided to live in seclusion, and I advised me not to learn from Qu Yuan and sacrifice my life easily."

Xuan Bing asked Xuan Biao to sit down and said earnestly: "Biao'er, people have different temperaments, and they are just suitable for doing things and not doing things. Such things cannot be forced."

"Some people are as strong as gold and stone, and they are broken and raped."

"Some people are willing to express their grief and snow."

"There are also people who have made friends and lived in seclusion in the quiet and clear world."

"But no matter how you do it, it will not be perfect, because it will be of no use to the world. It can only ensure that you are not in harmony with each other. The world is complicated. You, a child, cannot generalize it, and do not do to others what you want."

Xuan Bing said: "I am crazy, but Ziyun is the doctrine of the mean. He said that the thief of the village wishes was to humiliate him. He should apologize to Boyu quickly."

Xuan Biao was scolded by his father and could only bow down to the fifth reunion.

After Xuan Bing drove his son out, he replied with a rough pen and a poplar board.

"I would also like to ask Boyu to deliver it to Yang Gong."

"Just say that Xuanbing can eat, although his life is poor, he enjoys his own happiness. However, Yang Gong should drink less alcohol and eat more vegetables."

Finally, he looked at Di Wu Lun and smiled: "It was a blessing for Ziyun to have a disciple like Bo Yu."

He still had a good impression of Xuanbing and the fifth reunion. He stood up and said goodbye, but before leaving, he looked back: "I heard from the accent of those farmers who assisted Xuan Gong and his son in farming, they should not be locals, but... refugees from the marginal counties, right?"

Xuanbing's face changed, and he only stood up and bowed to the fifth reunion, lowering his head that was difficult to surrender: "Just now, my son was ignorant and offended Boyu. If you want to sue me for the crime of hiring the border people, even if he abandoned the market, Xuanbing would die with mercy."

"But please let my son go and let those refugees from the border go. If they were not forced to do so, who would have left their hometown?"

Wu Lun smiled and said, "Mr. Xuan misunderstood. I don't plan to do anything. The county chief Zhang Gong is a good official and will never blame you for this."

"I just asked by the way that Mr. Xuan has lived in the north of the county for a long time. Can you tell me about the fleeing of refugees on the marginal side?"

...

In early August, Di Wulun had already ended his trip to the north of the county and returned to Changling City, the capital of Liewei County.

When Zhang Zhan asked about his experiences and experiences, the fifth reunion expressed his concerns.

"Huan County (Zhaidao County of Han), Xiuling County, Qiyun County (Qiyuan County of Han) is located in a remote corner, adjacent to Zengshan County (Shangjun) and Weirong County (Beidi County). It has a sparse population and barren land. I was ordered by the county monarch to inspect and saw refugees fleeing from the north. According to locals, it has been going on for several months and the number is large, which is definitely not an isolated case."

"The border residents have started to go south again?" Zhang Zhan was shocked. He did not report any of the matter in the local counties and townships. If it were not for the Fifth Reun's own eyes, he would have been a little unbelievable.

And the reason why it is said to be "also" is because similar scenes appeared a few years ago.

Let’s talk about the northern Huns who have become the nominal guest of the Han Dynasty since Emperor Xuan of Han. Huhanye and several other khans also went to Chang'an to pay homage to the Han emperor, accepted the seal of Han officials, and maintained peace for a hundred years on the frontier.

It was not until Wang Mang replaced the Han Dynasty that he decided to take back the old seal and lower the specifications of the Huns, so that they no longer act as guests but rather as ministers. After that, Wang Mang became addicted to changing his name and decided to be equal inside and outside, and also changed his name to the Huns' Shanyu: it was changed to "submitted slaves and subdued them".

Coupled with the entanglement in the Western Regions, the Xiongnu Khan finally broke up with the Central Plains, saying that he only recognized the Emperor of the Liu family. Who are you Wang Mang? The war broke out again in the north and south. The frontier, which had not fought for several generations, had a horse robbed by the Xiongnu again, broke through two counties in a row, and killed the head of the chief officer.

Not to mention anything else, Wang Mang had an extremely tough attitude towards the outside world and immediately declared war on the Huns, recruited 300,000 troops, distributed them to the twelve generals, advanced together, and attacked the Huhu.

Zhang Zhan sighed: "It was said to be a crusade, but in fact the twelve armies did not go out of the frontier, but just arrived at the border counties to station them to guard against the invasion of the Huns."

The Huns were actually unstable, and they had a deep memory of being ravaged by the Han soldiers. Seeing that there were many new soldiers, they did not dare to go south for the time being, but the 200,000 to 300,000 troops of the New Dynasty were stationed on the frontier in this way.

This was the biggest expense of the imperial court's finances. Wang Mang could not hold on to want to withdraw his troops, but as soon as the army left, the Huns made a comeback. Wang Mang felt his face was lost, so he stationed his troops as usual.

The fifth reunion said: "There are so many people, the frontier may not be able to provide food and clothing, right?"

Zhang Zhan said: "However, it is not enough to transfer food from Guanzhong. Youzhou has to rely on the local area for food and clothing. Bingzhou and Youzhou are not rich, but now they have to support so many people. The granary is exhausted and the people are exhausted. In addition, the troops are in the place where they are, and thorns are born. Generals from all walks of life cannot restrain their soldiers, and even the troubles are growing, and the border people are suffering unspeakably."

"In addition, in the first year of Tianfeng, the border was famine, people ate each other, and grain was more expensive than Guanzhong. Thousands of border soldiers were sent to suppress them in groups to become thieves. Although they were suppressed by the imperial court, some people still went to the southern counties to seek survival. Many of our Liewei County also came. Haoyou took the opportunity to take them as slaves. So the court ordered that those who were injunction dared to take the border people to abandon the market and often returned to their hometowns when they were caught."

This happened in the first year of Tianfeng, the second year. After that, the relationship between the Huns and the New Dynasties was restored, and the war was not fought for the time being, and the troops on the front line of the Great Wall were also re-emerging. Now, several years have passed, refugees from the north have emerged again. What does this mean?

Zhang Zhan had some doubts: "Last year, the Xiongnu Chanyu died, and his brother Zuo Xianwang succeeded to the throne. This year, he sent someone to Chang'an to pay tribute to his marriage. It is logical that the two countries should not fight."

The fifth reunion said: "The lower officials interrogated the fleeing border residents in all three counties, and only said that the farmland was deserted and the harvest was poor, so they had to go south. But they could travel thousands of miles to the edge of the Liewei. It is conceivable that in Shangjun, there are probably more people who were intercepted in the north. If this continues, it may become a hidden danger!"

If the source does not stop, these border refugees will become powerful people in the county, and in addition to self-cultivated farmers, a new force from outside...

In this regard, the fifth reunion was actually secretly happy and asked directly: "Instead of letting him wander around or being taken over by the powerful, it is better for the government to come forward and resettle refugees in several counties in the north of the county to open up land, so that they can have a way out. Secondly, it can also increase the household registration in the county, which is also a good rule with the best of both worlds. As household officials, the subordinates are in charge of household registration, land and house affairs, so why not let me share the worries for the county monarch!"

Wu Lun wanted to take over this matter, but Zhang Zhan was not relieved: "This is a small matter, and it is enough to supervise the post. Why should Boyu go there in person?"

"What's more, there are more important matters in the county, you must be!"

Zhang Zixiao smiled and said, "I want to promote your family's good policies such as Yi Cang and Yi Qian in the whole county after the autumn harvest! Bo Yu will preside over the presidency!"
