Royal road

The Yuanhui lasted for half a day, the wine was good wine, the dishes were delicacies, and there were more than a dozen county officials accompanying them with smiles.But this meal was neither full nor satisfying, and it took a lot of effort to calmly appease the panicked county magistrates.After the banquet was over, everyone left, and Liang Feng went back to the back hall alone.

Leaning on the table, he took the tea from Lv Zhu and took a sip.In any case, at least today's previous planning was not wasted.Although the prefect is the head of a county, he may not be able to handle the affairs of the county smoothly.Fortunately, Shangdang has been suffering for years, and it is located on the front line of chaos.Otherwise, just facing those tyrannical powers would be a headache.

Now the things that should be pulled out have been pulled out, and those that should be beaten have also been beaten. After the beginning of spring and the oxen are whipped, spring plowing can start smoothly.Taking advantage of the fierce pinching between the Huns and Sima Teng, it is necessary to grow more food.Once the flames of war spread to Shangdang, there will be no such relaxed environment.

There are also students who copy books in the library, and they can't be wasted.When it's time to go to Shangsi, we have to find ways to select a few more usable talents.The more chaos there is, the more people are needed.

Just as he was thinking, someone announced from outside the door that Duan Qin asked to see him.

Why did you come to see him again so soon after the banquet was over?Liang Feng sat up straight involuntarily: "Send him in!"

Unexpectedly, not only Duan Qin entered the door, but also Yiyan, Jiang Da, and a small figure holding a huge wooden box.Liang Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Rong'er, why are you here?"

He had to do business, and the school didn't start, so Liang Feng left Liang Rong in the mansion, and planned to bring him to the county after the fifteenth day.Unexpectedly, the little guy came here just like this, how could he not be surprised?

Green Bamboo was also taken aback, and hurriedly wanted to pick up the wooden box in Liang Rong's hand, but Liang Rong didn't let it go. Instead, he held the box carefully and knelt on the ground: "It's the right day, and my son presents this year's gift for Sifang. .”

Seeing the serious look of the little guy, Liang Feng felt his heart soften.That's right, Zhengdan is not only a day for courtiers to hold Yuanhui, but also a festival for family reunion and mutual congratulations.Just to give himself this surprise, the little guy trekked for two days and rushed over from the mansion. Just this kind of intention moved people.

"Rong'er has a heart." Liang Feng got up, walked to Liang Rong's side, took the wooden box with one hand, took the little guy with the other, and returned to the table.

Putting the box on the table, the child hugged him on his lap, and he asked with a smile, "Rong'er, you know, what is there?"

It's been a long time since I've been hugged by my father, not to mention there are so many people watching, Liang Rong's little face flushed, but he didn't want to leave his father's embrace, so he blushed and said: "There are glass cups, how about you?" There are crossbows..."

Liang Feng opened the lid, and saw two things in the box.A three-inch high flat-bottomed glass, very similar to the whiskey glasses of later generations, but the color of the glass is light green, obviously the impurities have not been removed.There is also a small hand crossbow, which is smaller than the one originally allocated to the cavalry, and it looks like a toy.

Looking up, Liang Feng smiled and said to Duan Qin: "Are these new products produced in the workshop?"

Even if Liang Rong wanted to, it was impossible to prepare such a surprise by himself, and Duan Qin and others must have participated.Sure enough, Master Duan laughed and said: "It is indeed a new product. The glass cup is the first blown vessel made by Taofang. The crossbow is made in imitation of Qin Dynasty. It can be disassembled and has a range of fifty paces."

Not to mention the glass, this small crossbow can shoot fifty paces, it should be a self-defense for himself.Liang Feng couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "I'm afraid Si Ruo has prepared other surprises."

There are four squares in the square, how could it be possible to offer only two things?

Duan Qin said: "The carriage prepared by Mufang is a horse-drawn carriage, which has been modified with a rabbit structure, which can greatly reduce the vibration when driving. As for the bookstore..." He pointed at Yiyan with a smile, "It has to be submitted by Captain Yi."

Futu is a unique shock absorption module for carriages, under the carriage and above the axle.With Futu, the carriage can have three fulcrums to achieve the purpose of stability and shock absorption.It has been half a year since the modification of the carriage, and I didn't expect it to really produce results.This is another big gain!But how could the gift from the bookstore have anything to do with Yiyan?

At this time, Yiyan had already taken a two-foot-square wooden board from the servant, and strode up to Liang Feng: "My lord, this is the map of Shangdang surveyed and drawn in the camp. The sand table is made of cork in the wooden workshop. You can use it as you like." hang on the wall."

Liang Feng couldn't help leaning slightly, looking at the engraving.The mountains, rivers, cities and villages above are all exquisite, as if the miniature landscape is projected on the wooden board.It has been a full year to train the surveying and mapping personnel in the army, and now they have produced such results, which is really amazing!

"Good!" Liang Feng praised.The contributions of the four squares are all exquisite weapons.It seems that this year, all the workshops in the mansion have made great progress.This is more joyful than any congratulatory message!

Duan Qin bowed slightly: "Farming is not as ingenious as these ingenuity, but there are also five grains and silk, which can be offered to the Lord."

Five wooden boxes containing grain and rice were put up, as well as plain silk and linen, all from the households in the mansion.

Jiang Daze cupped his hands and said: "Last year, there were 50 nurses and nurses in the hospital. The number of doctors in the county government has reached 27. By the beginning of spring, the counties will be able to carry out epidemic prevention inspections to avoid disasters."

This is the medical system that Jiang Da worked hard to build last year.The nurses are all prepared for the army, and the doctors who attend the consultation are famous doctors and family doctors invited by Jiang Da, aiming at helping the common people and studying medical principles.In the past, only the imperial court could establish a medical institution of this scale, but now, because of a free copy of "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", a wave of medical development has been set off in a remote place like Bingzhou.Such an institution is no less than a strong army.

Liang Feng breathed a long sigh of relief: "If there were no gentlemen, Liang Mansion would not be where it is today. This is the best gift for the New Year."

Today is not the period of the Three Kingdoms. As long as you own a place, you can take the local products for your own use.After all, the Western Jin Dynasty was an era with a unified dynasty. Even if the court existed in name only, there were still many Sima royal families standing in front of it.Just like the Shangdang where he is, no matter how to rectify it, in the final analysis, he still has to obey the orders of the governor Sima Teng.Because of this subordinate political chain, his private property and public property must be managed separately.

With this prerequisite, the Liang Mansion must develop independently.And a strong and prosperous Liang Mansion will become an important reliance for him to be an official.With money, food, and soldiers, he, the prefect of the Shangdang, can find a place to stand in the troubled times.

And these people in front of him are the mainstay of the Liang family.Even if he is in an official position, he is essentially his guest minister.The title of a lord made them and themselves firmly tied together.To get the trust and assistance of these insightful people is the basis for the growing strength of the Liang Mansion.

Duan Qin and the others bowed their heads again: "I would like to congratulate my lord!"

Looking at the few people seated, Liang Feng smiled: "The official banquet is boring, so you can stay and eat. If you don't get drunk today, you won't go home!"

Following the order, the family banquet was held in the back hall.The dishes are those that Liang Feng often eats, as well as hot dumplings, as well as pepper wine and peach soup that have been prepared earlier.Jiaobai wine is a wine made by soaking pepper flowers. It is drunk at Zhengdan to celebrate birthdays with wine.Peach soup is boiled with peach branches, peach leaves, and peach stems. Drinking it can drive away ghosts and evil spirits.

There are also fruit wines brewed in Fuchu, such as plum wine, green plum wine, and pear wine, which are bright in color and lovely golden orange. When poured into a glass cup, it tastes like a grape wine luminous cup.Even Liang Feng couldn't help but taste it.These are not bureaucrats who need to be bothered to deal with, but his real family members.

In such an atmosphere, the heart that had been tense for a long time gradually eased down.Not to mention Duan Qin and others, even Liang Feng was a little drunk.

After drinking and eating, he sent the little guy back to the back house to rest, and said goodbye to Duan Qin and Jiang Da.Liang Feng left Yiyan alone, and said with a smile: "Boyuan hasn't played chess with me for a long time, why don't we talk about it?"

Unexpectedly, the lord would keep him, Yi Yan paused for a moment before nodding his head.One after the other, the two walked into the bedroom. After the chessboard was set up, Liang Feng waved to the green bamboo: "Bring some hangover soup."

Lu Zhu was so obedient, she immediately knew that this meant to avoid her, bowed slightly, and walked out of the room.Putting the white stones in his hand on the chessboard, Liang Feng said: "Boyuan, you are too busy these days. Playing chess with Siruo all day is really boring."

Duan Qin's chess skills are not as good as Yi Yan's, but that's not what Liang Feng wants to talk about.It seemed that overnight, the young man next to him became cold, no longer circling around him, and also lost that lovable stubbornness.It's like a different person.Such a change, whether as the protagonist or as the teacher, should always ask a question.

Yiyan also made a move on the chessboard in front of him: "The infantry and cavalry are all training, and the subordinates really don't have time. When the exercise is over, it should be better."

His voice was steady and there was nothing unusual about it.Liang Feng couldn't help but sneered: "It's hard for you to change from hundreds of soldiers to thousands of soldiers."

"The number of soldiers is the next best thing. If you don't step up your training, the Xiongnu will invade, and Shangdang will be in danger. The subordinates don't want to see the siege of Lucheng again." There was something extra in Yiyan's voice, as if unwilling , also like forbearance.

This is the first time he has shown concern about the current situation.Looking at the calm face of the young man in front of him, Liang Feng only felt that the frisky milk dog raised from a young age had suddenly grown into a handsome police dog.There must be loneliness, but more, it is a faint pride and relief.

"The land of a county is not easy to bear." Liang Feng dropped another son, "But fortunately, I still have a good general like you. Thousands of troops are easy to get, but one general is hard to find."

That sentence, as if hitting Yiyan's heart, made his heart tremble suddenly.Of course he knew what the lord wanted to hear, and he also knew what the lord was most concerned about.Therefore, he was able to hide his true self under military affairs, calmly suppress those filthy things, and make himself the kind of person the lord wants, the kind of good general who is hard to find.

This is the path he chose.

Putting Heizi where it should be, Yiyan said softly, "My lord, you should also take care of your health. Without my lord, Shangdang would not be where it is today."

Liang Feng smiled. These words are really familiar: "With Ji En and Zhichuan around, those chronic illnesses will always be cured. Speaking of which, are there any suitable marriageable men in the trilogy? The green bamboo is also big. Now, it's time to find a good man to marry."

Even if she is not used to the age of marriage in ancient times, Luzhu will be 16 years old, and if she stays again, she may become enemies.However, after all, this is the personal maid who has been by her side since she came to this world. Liang Feng really thought of the little girl as a younger sister.If you want to marry, you should also choose a wishful husband with good conduct and a bright future.

Holding the child's hand froze, Yiyan said: "The subordinates will look for it, and if there is a suitable person, they will report to the lord. But Lvzhu is married, isn't the lord short of people to serve?"

"There are quite a few maidservants in the Taishou's mansion, so I can always find others." Liang Feng snorted, "There are also Cang Lan and Caiwei, who are also considerate and reliable. It's just me, how many maidservants did I use?"

Other high-ranking noble families are surrounded by more than a dozen serving maids, such as the lord, who are exceptions.But Yiyan doesn't know how to speak out, if there is really a woman who falls into the eyes of the lord and becomes his concubine and maidservant, how will he face it?

Lightly bypassing this topic, Yiyan talked about the new generals in the series.

The two chatted without saying a word, and the chess pieces gradually filled the chessboard.I don't know if I let go of my heart, or I am too tired today.Liang Feng's drop speed also gradually slowed down.Yiyan did not put on a forceful posture, but played the game of chess slowly following the speed of the opponent's moves.Beside him, the candlelight was flickering, enveloping the figures of the two with gentleness.

After another black piece fell, there was a slap, and a white piece on the opposite side fell onto the chessboard.Liang Feng leaned on the hidden pouch, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yiyan didn't move immediately, but sat behind the chessboard, quietly looking at the jade face opposite.He was only one step away from him, and it seemed that he could pull someone into his arms as long as he raised his hand.With just one step, you can take what you desire and expect for yourself.

He cannot get past this step.

Getting up gently, Yiyan walked to the opposite side, leaned over and picked him up, and walked towards the bed not far away.Maybe it was the effect of the fruit wine, the man was very sound asleep, and he didn't wake up because of this movement, but moved slightly, like some kind of cub, curled up in his embrace.

After just a few steps, he walked to the couch, Yiyan exhaled softly, and put him on the couch.After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and pulled out the hairpin from the opponent's head.It was a jade hairpin with an ancient and clumsy shape and high-quality jade. It was the hairpin that the lord always carried.In his bosom, there is also a jade hairpin, which he selected the best jade material and meticulously pondered for several months.Just like the jade pendant given last year.

But this year, the hairpin is destined not to be sent out.It was too private, too intimate, beyond the boundaries where I should stay.It shouldn't be something to give off to the lord.And I'm afraid that it will never be able to please that person better than the map I presented.

Putting the hairpin on the low table beside him, Yiyan took a step back, turned around and walked outside.

Lu Zhu had already prepared the hangover soup, waiting there, seeing Yi Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Where is your husband?"

"My lord is drunk and has already fallen asleep." Yi Yan said.

"Ah!" Lu Zhu dared not be negligent, and walked quickly into the room.

Looking at the anxious back, Yiyan lowered his eyes, didn't stay any longer, and strode away.
