Cui'er felt inexplicable, no matter how much she tried to persuade Li Xiuning, she couldn't persuade Li Xiuning, so she went to invite Chen Ying. When Chen Ying heard Li Xiuning crying, she was very nervous, and hurried to the door of the room on the right side.

Li Xiuning heard the movement from outside the door, and didn't want Chen Ying to see her weak side, so she hurriedly wiped away her tears, pretending to be nonchalant, and said to Chen Ying, "Come in!"

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning's face, although there were no tears, but his eyes were obviously swollen. Chen Ying asked, "San Niang, what's wrong? What happened?"

"I'm fine, General Chen should go back!"

When Chen Ying heard this, he was even more puzzled.In Li Xiuning's tone, there was a sense of alienation from thousands of miles away. If Chen Ying really left, I'm afraid he and Li Xiuning would really quit.

Chen Ying looked at Li Xiuning's eyes seriously. They were big eyes that were not barking, the shape of the eyelids was also beautiful, and the eyelashes were long and curled, trembling slightly.

Chen Ying pondered the words and stood bowed.

Li Xiuning was still angry in her heart, and said nonchalantly, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Chen Ying murmured: "Yes...no!"

Li Xiuning said angrily: "Go back if you have nothing to do, and talk about it if you have anything!"

Chen Ying sat down on the sofa, stretched out his hands habitually, and put them behind his head.However, Chen Ying forgot that this is not his main room, but the right side room. The width of the room is not proportional to the main room, not to mention the layout is different.Chen Ying's hand was placed behind his head, just touching the candlestick behind, and his fingers involuntarily stretched out to the candle oil.

Although Chen Ying wouldn't be too hot to yell, he was still taken aback, and extinguished the candlestick with a shake of his hand.

Li Xiuning was originally angry with Chen Ying, but when she saw Chen Ying being scalded, she subconsciously grabbed Chen Ying's hand and brought it to her lips to blow gently, and said softly, "Does it hurt? You were so careless, your hand was burnt." They deserve it."

Having said this, Li Xiuning and Chen Ying were both stunned.

The scene was extremely embarrassing. After a long time, Li Xiuning sighed and said, "My fate..."

Chen Ying murmured: "I don't know why you are in a bad mood, but I am willing to share everything with you. You don't have to worry about the Chai family in Fenzhou. , they will kneel before you and sing Conquer!"

Li Xiuning asked in surprise, "What is singing about conquering?"

Chapter 75 Don't wait for me when there is a long way to go

Pei Ju was born in the 13th year of Datong in the Western Wei Dynasty, and now he is sixty-four. The way of watching the army in the state.

Pei Ju liked the four-wheeled carriage Chen Ying gave him very much. Pei Ju belonged to the kind of model who lived to learn and learned.I thought that if I went to Lingzhou this time, I would die of old age, but I didn't expect that sitting in this kind of carriage would not feel the bumps at all, especially when the water in the teacup was poured to [-]% full, it would not spill out.

Although the outside was covered with ice and snow, and the cold wind was howling, but the charcoal heaters were lit on the screen walls of the hatchback at the four corners of the four-wheeled carriage, but the carriage was still as warm as spring.

Pei Ju first passed through Liquan County, and then passed through Fengtian (now Qian County) without entering. He rested in Yongshou for one night, and arrived at Baitu (now Bin County) at noon the next day. big difference.The official road from Yongshou County to Baitu County is extremely smooth, and I heard that it was not organized by the government, but built by the people spontaneously. There are densely packed four-wheeled ox carts on the official road. It is as tall and majestic as a horse-drawn cart, but it is as unobstructed as a military chariot, but it is only used to carry goods or the loading capacity of five or six military chariots.

Baitu County is rich in coal, and many open-air coal mines are full of folks pouring coal into their homes in the severe cold. At this time, no one is going to cut firewood, because a dry firewood can be burned for up to three days, but any one The folk husband can get enough charcoal for a month in one day.

Pei Ju was very surprised, so he stopped in a wine shop by the side of the road, and found an old farmer to do the homework.Guanzhong has been the imperial capital since the Qin and Han Dynasties, so it is common for the people in Guanzhong to be princes and grandchildren. Even if you look at Pei Ju, you know that you are both rich and noble.

From gossip in the market to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, this old farmer can talk about everything. Although the old farmer is not very knowledgeable and many things are his own imagination, Pei Ju still listens with interest.When Pei Ju asked the shopkeeper to serve three catties of cold-cut beef and a pot of soup with three oats, the old farmer was very interested in talking, almost knowing everything.Right in the middle of his heart, Pei Ju gradually brought the topic to the economy and people's livelihood.

Pei Jujiang walked all the way, he saw a lot of such ox carts, most of the drivers were old and weak, and there were some women, but they all looked happy, spoke loudly, and showed a rare spirit, so they were very curious He asked, "Why are there so many bullock carts in Baitu? Everyone pulls coal, can it be burned?"

The old man tugged at his messy beard, poured a large bowl of wine, wiped his mouth and said, "I'm sure I can't use it all up, but there are so many people in Chang'an City, and this charcoal truck can earn that amount."

The old farmer stretched out his hand to Pei Ju, stretching his five fingers to the sky.

Pei Ju said, "Fifty Wen?"

"It's five hundred cash!" The old farmer said smugly, "One man and one cow, you can fight one back and forth in a day and night."

"Old man, how long have you been doing this business?"

"It's not too long. It will be ten months in three days."

Pei Ju did some calculations, "So you started doing it at the beginning of this year?"

"Lang Jun is a scholar, right? Hearing the accent, he seems to be from Shandong?"

Pei Ju said with a smile: "The old man is well-informed, can you hear that?"

"Hey, old man, I also often go to Chang'an. Our county court Pei (the honorific name for the county magistrate) is from Shandong. I heard that he is a famous person from Shandong Wenxi. I have spoken to the old man twice, and the accent sounds like it. Smell Xi is a good place. There are famous scholars and good officials. There used to be Pei Shiju, who was quite famous. He managed the Western Regions for Emperor Yang, attacked Tuyuhun, and used points to separate the Turks. He was a good official..."

Pei Ju chatted with the old farmer to find out what the people had to say about Pei Xuanji, the county magistrate.

Pei Ju had a son in his later years. Pei Xuanji was born when Pei Ju was 40 years old. Now he is only 24 years old and lives in Baitu county magistrate.It seems that Pei Xuanji has done a good job, at least his reputation is not bad. He did not get bad reviews from Pei Xuanji in Chang'an. If there are no bad reviews in the local area, he will definitely get a good review next year at the latest.

Baitu County is a middle county, and Pei Xuanji is the county magistrate of the seventh rank. If he goes up further, he will go from the sixth rank to Xiazhou Bie Jia or Chang Shi. After ascending the throne, at least one level of promotion can be sealed.

Pei Ju didn't stay in Baishi County but arrived in Changwu that night.

The four-wheeled carriages and horses rested constantly, and the wheels rolled forward all the way. Pei Zhi finally arrived at Lingzhou before the road was blocked by heavy snow. When he entered the territory of Lingzhou, Pei Ju obviously felt the difference.

First of all, although it is cold here, the streets are not deserted. On the contrary, the streets are bustling with people. I am afraid that in this kind of weather, Chang'an will not be so lively.

Pei Ju's heart was like a cat scratching, he was very eager to figure out what was going on.

Suddenly, a person stopped Pei Ju's carriage, and the carriage stopped in the middle of the road. Pei Ju leaned out, and before he could ask what was going on, he saw a person bowing and saluting: "Greetings, Mr. Pei!"

Pei Ju didn't remember knowing such a person, Pei Ju murmured: "Please forgive me for being blind, your Excellency is..."

Yang Ze walked like flying, came to Pei Ju's carriage and said, "Go to Yang Ze after finishing school!"

The name "Yang Ze" is naturally no stranger to Pei Ju. It is precisely because of this person's unprincipled concessions to Li Daozong that Chen Ying wasted all his blood. It is precisely because Yang Ze is not enough to trust him. Only then did he recommend himself to Li Jiancheng, the crown prince of the East Palace. Seeing that the governor of Yizhou came to greet him alone, Pei Ju was very displeased. Instead, he felt that Yang Ze did not have the prestige of governor of Yizhou.

Although the governor, although serving in a local area, in fact, from the official position of the governor, he has always been a central official, but it was gradually localized later.The greatest power of the governor is that he can directly report to the emperor and impeach lawbreakers.

However, Yang Ze put his position too low. Originally, the governor was to contain the general who commanded the army, but it was a pity that Yang Ze went too far.

Although Pei Ju felt a little unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it, but said to Yang Ze: "Mr. Yang, please get in the car!"

Yang Ze was not polite, and boarded Pei Ju's carriage calmly.

Pei Ju personally poured a cup of hot tea for Yang Ze, and Pei Ju looked Yang Ze up and down for a moment: "Does Yang Shijun know the purpose of the old man's visit?"

Yang Zedao: "His Royal Highness has sent a letter to Yang Ze, everything will be dominated by Duke Pei, and Yang Ze will fully cooperate!"

Pei Ju was silent for a moment, then he turned his head and leaned against the wall of the car, looking through the car window at the bustling crowd outside, his mind suddenly wavered, just like a four-wheeled carriage.

The task given to him by the crown prince is actually very heavy. Chen should set up a blast furnace steel workshop during his tenure as the general manager of Lingzhou, restore coal and make salt, and make Lingzhou the largest money bag and material warehouse in the Eastern Palace. Pei Ju sighed and said: " There is a long way to go, and time is waiting for me.”

Yang Ze smiled disapprovingly.

Suddenly Pei Ju found a very big problem. There are many pedestrians in Lingzhou, but there are no children. Pei Ju asked strangely: "Mr. Yang, how come there are no children in Lingzhou?"

"Pei Gong is such a brat, you can just call me!" Yang Ze stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The dolls can't play, they are all going to study."

"Go to study?" Pei Ju was startled when he heard this.
