Shennong Daojun

After the Swordfish Flying Boat crossed the Canglan River, the weather became a little chaotic.

Anping Prefecture in Jiangbei had already passed the Jingzhe solar term, the ground was slightly green, and the spring was obvious.

But after crossing the river, it was still covered with snow, and it was covered in silver.

Zhao Xing stood outside the flying boat and felt it, as if he was in the Great Cold solar term.

After flying for another half an hour, four completely different solar terms appeared in the places he passed, Minor Cold, Great Cold, Spring Equinox, and Grain Rain.

It was not until half an hour later, far away from the river, and entering the territory of Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture, that the weather returned to stability.

But it was still one solar term slower than the prefectures in Jiangbei, and was around the [Rain Water] solar term.

"How do you feel about going abroad for the first time?" Long Xiao asked with a smile, "Is it very different?"

"It is indeed different." Zhao Xing said, "It has become a little chaotic."

After leaving the Ten Yang Cave Heaven, he knew that the solar term order of the third level of the realm could easily change the weather on a large scale. This is because the weather in the small world of the cave heaven is chaotic and not as stable as the land of the Nineteen States.

However, after leaving Pinghaizhou, the weather gradually became chaotic. Although the degree of chaos was not as great as that of Shiyangdongtian, for ordinary people, the inside and outside of Dazhou were simply worlds apart.

If you are not of grade, you can't even reach Jiutian Yingyuanfu, and you can't stand the unpredictable weather.

"The alternation of cold and heat, the sudden changes of yin and yang inside and outside, ordinary people can't stand it at all. It's not until we reach the territory of Jiutian Yingyuanfu that the weather becomes suitable."

"The geographical environment is also quite harsh. Within an hour after we crossed the river, we saw three earthquakes, the earth cracked, and the mountains and rivers shifted."

Suddenly, you don't recognize the road ahead while walking. This is secondary. If you suddenly fall into a crack in the ground while walking, or a mountain collapses suddenly, it will be difficult for ordinary people who are not of grade to survive.

Of course, this unstable area is not big for Zhao Xing. After crossing the river, the swordfish flying boat flew to Jiutian Yingyuanfu in half an hour.

Then why leave this section of the area out? Why doesn't Jiutian Yingyuanfu also count the section along the river?

There are many reasons. First, it is to crack down on smuggling. The roads on the ground cannot be traveled, and it is difficult to travel without entering the quality. This has isolated many people from smuggling and made the cost of smuggling and smuggling higher. If flying equipment is used, it will be easier to check.

Second, the Canglan River area is unpredictable. If you get too close, you may be attacked by the water veins, so there needs to be a buffer zone.

After all, the upstream source is controlled by the Nanman tribes. They have a "witch" who can communicate with the heaven and earth. If the water witch does something bad, it will be a disaster for the downstream.

…………

The arrowfish flying boat continued to fly over the Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion. During this period, many breaths swept over the flying boat, and even a patrolling flying boat came to intercept, but after seeing the Shiyang Dongtian military flag and the military appointment document presented by Zhao Xing, it was successfully released.

"Yuncheng is a county-level county, so I am now supervised by the Minister of Agriculture of Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture, and my direct superior is Tan Taiming of the prefecture-level Dushuijian."

"Even if I am only in office temporarily, I should visit him, not to mention that he has a good relationship with the teacher."

Tian Yan did not mention this to Zhao Xing. This was mentioned in Tian Yan's three letters and tokens.

Tian Yan asked him to use these tokens only when it was difficult, but who was Mr. Zhao? How could he listen to others?

What if he was in a hurry when he really needed to use them? It is even possible that he offended the person in the letter or his family without knowing it.

He is not a fool, of course it is better to read it early. I can not use it first, but I have to know it in my mind.

It must be said that Tian Hou was not bragging. Tan Taiming mentioned in the first letter was his superior and the main reviewer of the third ring mission.

The favors of the thousand-year-old family are not covered. Tan Taiming owes Tian Hou a life.

Two hundred years ago, when Yingyuan Prefecture was just opened up, Tan Taiming was only an eighth-rank official and was poisoned by voodoo.

With his ability, he could not find an antidote, and even if there was one, he could not use it.

It was Tian Yan who found the antidote for him. At that time, Tan Taiming was only an upper eighth-rank official, but now, two hundred years later, he is already a lower fourth-rank official.

Tian Yan also explained in the letter how far favors can be used.

Tan Taiming is a man who values ​​friendship. At a critical moment, Tan Taiming can be asked to take on things that Zhao Xing cannot handle and to block dangers that Zhao Xing cannot block.

The limit of this scale is that Tan Taiming will be demoted three levels after he has done so.

"Tan Taiming is demoted from the lower fourth-rank official, and his official position is demoted by three levels, so he will be demoted from the upper fifth-rank official. How serious a crime would I have to commit?"

"If you can use it, don't use it. There is a big cause and effect here." Zhao Xing said secretly.

There are two more letters and tokens like this, and he estimated that they are of similar weight.

Why did Tian Hou give it to him? It is not just a simple teacher-student relationship, but also an investment in the future.

Old Tan Tai is already 389 years old. If he cannot reach the rank of the fourth rank, he will not live past 500 under normal circumstances.

If there is no accident in this life, it is difficult for Old Tan Tai to be promoted to the rank of the fourth rank.

If Tian Yan asks for favors, he should ask for them around 400 years old.

Otherwise, if it is delayed for a few decades, the value of the favor will decrease.

Why? Because he can't bear it anymore. Waiting for Old Tan Tai to ask for favors when he is more than 400 years old, isn't it asking for his life? When the life limit is approaching, demotion is equivalent to demotion!

So these three letters are stuck in a suitable period for asking for favors. Or, the period for transferring favors.

If Zhao Xing wants to use the three letters, he has to accept this favor. Zhao Xing is still very young and has a promising future. Whether the three-for-one exchange is a loss or not, time will tell.

"Zhao Xing, your humble servant, pays respect to Lord Tan Tai!"

Tan Taiming sat upright in the main hall of the Dushuijian, wearing a dark crimson crown and clothes, a fourth-rank crown and clothes, with a flowered golden top.

It has a sapphire on the top and a small sapphire in the middle. The top of the crown is a magic weapon.

The three flowers gather at the top, constantly refining the vitality of heaven and earth. Officials do not need to practice by themselves, and can be nourished by the vitality day and night, always maintaining the peak state.

There is a slight difference between the fourth rank and the regular fourth rank in the crown, mainly the number of sapphires inlaid.

The fourth-rank civil official uniform is divided into regular uniform and court uniform. The court uniform is embroidered with skylarks, which means abiding by the law and etiquette.

The fourth-rank military official uniform is embroidered with tigers, symbolizing bravery.

However, the clothing etiquette of the Great Zhou Dynasty is quite complicated. Official clothing also involves titles and ranks. In addition, there will be subtle differences for different positions.

For example, Tan Taiming is the Du Shui Ling, and the skylark on his body is between the clouds and the lake.

If it is a fourth-rank priest, the skylark is on the eaves of the temple.

In theory, Tan Taiming is now a civil official, but if Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion goes to war, he will immediately become a military official, because the Du Shui Ling can be civil or military.

At that time, his crown and clothes will have to change again.

Even now, Tan Taiming's clothing is different from that of ordinary civil servants. His belt is a military belt worn by the second-class marquis.

The ribbon is a gold seal and silver ribbon, with three circles of blue and white patterns on the sleeves. There are also four treasures of the study, Tianxin Lingqian and Shengye in front of the desk, which means that this person is also a Guangzheng doctor of the rank of San, and can participate in court affairs and send his own memorials directly to the center, and even write letters to the emperor.

Zhao Xing had a headache remembering all these things in his previous life, but now he can see them at a glance.

While paying respect, he glanced at Tan Taiming. Although he was almost 400 years old, he still looked middle-aged, with black hair.

Tan Taiming was tall, and even when he was sitting, his upper body was much taller than the table. Wearing this fourth-grade crown and clothes, it seemed as if the light in the entire hall was focused on him, making people dare not look directly at him.

When Tan Taiming was paying respect to Zhao Xing in the hall, he was also looking at this genius Si Nong from Shiyang Cave Heaven.

Ordinarily, ordinary geniuses would not be in his eyes, and it was not his turn to personally meet them when they took office.

However, Zhao Xing had another identity, that of Tian Yan's student.

In this training of military Si Nong, Tian Yan only accepted one student, so the meaning was naturally different.

"No need to be polite, take a seat." Tan Taiming was deeply grateful to Tian Yan, and his attitude towards Zhao Xing was also very kind. As soon as Zhao Xing bent his waist, he spoke, without any official airs.

"Thank you, sir." Zhao Xing stood up, lifted his clothes, and sat sideways.

"Here is your temporary appointment letter, the crown and clothes of the seventh-rank Du Shui Ling, and the seal."

Tan Taiming waved his hand, and a box floated in front of Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing quickly stood up and took it, and then waited for Tan Taiming's lecture.

"When you go to Yuncheng, you should care about the people, be diligent in military affairs, and don't waste time."

"Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture is different from the inland. You have just taken office, so don't act too hastily. If there is any abnormal situation, you can report it to the Si Nongjian of the prefecture city."

"Yes, I will follow your instructions." Zhao Xing held the box and bowed again.

"Go ahead."

"I'll take my leave."

Zhao Xing bent his waist and slowly left the hall. He didn't stand up until he left the hall, and walked lightly.

There was no other way. The procedure for meeting the superior was just like this.

"Have you finished meeting?" Long Xiao, who was waiting outside, saw Zhao Xing come out and immediately followed him.

"Yes, I've finished meeting."

"Why are you wasting your energy?" Long Xiao said, "You have a military appointment. How dare the Yuncheng Sinong Supervisor deny it? Do you have to go in and pay your respects?"

"Showing your face in the capital city has only advantages and no disadvantages. Otherwise, when you write a letter, you will only have a name, and people will have no impression of you. Whose business is it? Put your report document aside a little bit. If you wait for three or four days, someone may die."

"And..."

"Okay, you don't have to tell me." Long Xiao waved his hand and said, "There are too many twists and turns. I'm not interested. I'm just a warrior and don't want to understand so much."

Zhao Xing smiled and got on the boat immediately.

In fact, he had to come and see Tan Taiming in person.

He did not disbelieve Tian Yan's judgment in the letter, but as mentioned before, he would not believe it completely.

Assuming that Tan Taiming was the kind of person who said, "I will return a hundred doses of antidote to your teacher," then if he relied on him at that time, wouldn't it be a disaster?

Didn't Tian Yan also prepare for this, so he prepared three letters? Otherwise, he was just an eighth-rank minister of agriculture, and no matter how capable he was of making trouble, a fourth-rank official would be enough to deal with him.

"From the personal meeting with Tan Taiming, the first impression was quite good. When he was giving a lecture, he was also in a relatively gentle manner. And he said that anything could be reported, which was a hint."

As for the people in the other two letters, Zhao Xing would not go to see them.

Because they had nothing to do with this trip, it would be very eye-catching if he suddenly went to see them.

For now, Tan Taiming was enough.

"Let's go, let's go to Yuncheng."

Yuncheng is located in the southeastern border of Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture.

Zhao Xing had flown over the Canglan River before.

Now flying towards Yuncheng, I saw the Canglan River again.

Because this river does not run horizontally, but meanders all the way south, deep into the southern wilderness.

He crossed the river from Anping Prefecture to Fucheng, and then went to Yuncheng in the southeast, where he saw the river again.

If you cross the river again at this time, it will not be within the territory of Dazhou, but a wasteland that no one wants on both sides. The environment is very harsh, with high temperature desert, swamp miasma, and strong winds. It is basically a no-man's land.

Starting from Fucheng, it took a day's flight by swordfish flying boat to reach Yuncheng.

It was three o'clock in the morning when we arrived in Yuncheng.

At this time, the cold wind was howling outside, frost was condensing on the ground, and there was no sign of spring at all.

"Go to the city directly or pay a private visit incognito?" Long Xiao asked.

"Why am I doing private interviews on private servers? There is no need for this." Zhao Xing said, "I am in combat readiness and I am the highest official. If the people below dare to deceive me, they are seeking death. I hope someone will hide it and let me behead my head to establish my authority."

I couldn’t hide it even if I wanted to, so I took a trip to Yuncheng Temple and everything became clear.

"Then just go in."

Long Xiao drove the flying boat, pressed the bow of the boat, and began to land inside Yuncheng.

In the border military city, many of the fortresses on the city walls were the bases of the array, but Zhao Xing was not hindered. His swordfish flying boat was also registered and entered directly.

"arrive."

The swordfish flying boat landed outside Yuncheng's Sinong Prison.

"Why doesn't anyone come to greet you, the superior officer?"

When Zhao Xing's car enters, Yuncheng's county government inspection department will get the news immediately.

When the county government sees a new official taking office, it will immediately notify the agricultural supervisor.

"Wait a minute, we are here so early, we have to give people time to react."

Zhao Xing and Long Xiao waited for a while at the main entrance of the Agriculture Supervisor.

But a quarter of an hour later, only three people showed up.

Long Xiao had already begun to snicker, while Zhao Xing's face looked a little ugly.

The agricultural supervisors in Gucheng all have one official and nine assistants. The scale of the agricultural supervisors in Yuncheng, a county-level county, is definitely higher than that in a superior county like Gucheng.

Just three people coming to greet you? I am such a big agricultural supervisor, and three people came to greet me?

Damn it, how dare you not regard yourself as a temporary official as an official!

"Yuncheng's internal command is Zhang Zhong."

"Yuncheng Agricultural Supervisor Chang Jiang Xi."

"Yuncheng has lost all orders to He Fengnian."

"Greetings, Shangguan!"

After the three figures ran over, they saw the swordfish flying boat and Zhao Xing who had changed into the seventh-grade crown uniform, and they immediately bowed to see him.

Zhao Xing did not put on airs with these three people, because those who could come at least respected himself as a superior officer.

"The three adults are exempt from the gift." Zhao Xing returned the gift with his hand. "I wonder where the other adults from Yuncheng's agricultural supervisory department are? Are they busy with official duties?"

The three Si Nong looked at each other, Zhang Zhong clasped his fists and said: "It's windy outside, please go inside the Si Nong Prison first, and then allow my subordinates to give detailed reports."

The next chapter is expected to be at 12:30, and the third chapter is expected to be at 2:30.
