In the study, Zhou Jingren said to Zhao Keran with a serious expression: "Your Majesty only told me what happened back then, and he was ashamed of you. Now it is embarrassing for you to come here to guard Jingyang for him.

He asked me to take care of him in secret.He also asked the imperial army to disguise themselves and hide in various places in Jingyang, secretly protecting you.

His Majesty also explained that if the dark guards are dispatched, they must come to meet you.Tell you the identity of the hidden guard, so you can rest assured.

I thought I would not meet you until you returned to Fengyang.Unexpectedly, it was so fast. "

After listening to Zhao Keran, he thought about it, so the original body was sent to Jingyang as the county magistrate, not because the old man Zhao was the teacher of the former prince, and Emperor Ding'an gave the Zhao family a disgrace?But Emperor Ding'an wants to reuse him?

He pretended to be casual and asked: "When I received Ren Shu suddenly, it turned out that His Majesty wanted me to guard Jingyang for him?"

Zhou Jingren nodded, "Your Majesty cares about the border. Your Majesty has always asked me to pay more attention to the Jingyang refugees. His Majesty knows everything about Zhang Shihai. It's just that your Majesty has just ascended the throne. Although Zhang Shihai is a man who speaks lightly and can't be counted, he has climbed up to the top." Thank you.

Although the border is bitter and cold, it is the most unaffected place.In order to make Xiang Xie unsuspecting, the magistrate in the south of the Yangtze River, His Majesty will give it if he says so. "

Zhao Keran finally understood that Emperor Ding'an really had nothing to offer, so he would let the original body, who had disappeared without a trace in Dayuan for many years, come to Jingyang as the county magistrate, and would not let Zhang Shihai continue to hustle here.

"Nowadays there are many refugees coming to Jiangnan, does Your Majesty know about this?" Zhao Keran asked.

Zhou Jingren's complexion darkened, and he sighed: "I think His Majesty already knew about those refugees before they arrived in Jingyang. It's just that there is nothing you can do about it. Zhang Shihai is still Zhang Shihai."

Zhou Jingren revealed in his words that even though there are now refugees in Jiangnan, Zhang Shihai will not be punished in any way. He is still the magistrate of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, a rich and prosperous place.

"Because thank you?" Zhao Keran asked casually.

Hearing this, Zhou Jingren raised his head and glanced at Zhao Keran, he didn't nod or shake his head, he didn't really want to talk more.

He was silent for a while and then said: "Magistrate Zhao has been away from Fengyang for many years, and many things have long been inconvenient to discuss. Magistrate Zhao only needs to know that there are people who have been protecting you in the dark of Jingyang, and there are also people who have tried their best to kill you. you."

Zhao Keran understood, this is the meaning that cannot be said.

Presumably, besides the relationship between Prime Minister Xie, this Shihai is shrouded in a layer of fog, which protects him very well.

Zhou Jingren seemed to have remembered something, turned his head and smiled and congratulated Zhao Keran: "I almost forgot to congratulate County Magistrate Zhao, Mr. Zhao made 'paper' in Fengyang a few days ago, which solved the problems of scholars all over the world.

The Holy One has ordered people to build a large number of paper mills in various places in Dayuan, and named them "Zhaogong Paper".Counting the days, the news will reach Jingyang in these two days.Moreover, His Majesty also said that the paper mill will be built in Jingyang. "

Zhou Jingren looked at Zhao Keran, and asked again: "It's just that I have never heard of Mr. Zhao's research on this before, and there is no record of papermaking on the slips. Mr. Zhao's achievements, I'm afraid he got the guidance of immortals."

Zhao Keran smiled slightly, and his words were airtight, "The Zhao family has been a scholar for generations, and the ancestors have been studying the principles in the books for generations.

Thousands of years ago, the ancestors didn't even know how to weave clothes. Unlike today, silk and satin are so beautiful.

Scholars read not only books, but also everything in the world.I think grandpa and father understood some mysteries.As a junior, the kid feels ashamed of himself. "

Zhou Jingren took a deep look at Zhao Keran, and asked abruptly, "What about printing?"

Zhao Keran froze for a moment, thinking that the Zhao family's actions were quite fast.

Zhou Jingren's original intention was not to make things difficult for Zhao Keran, he was just a little confused, but he didn't have to figure it out.

"The printing technique was proposed by His Majesty and me in private, and will not be announced to the world in a short time. According to His Majesty's letter, the printing workshop and the paper workshop are both established in Jingyang, and are in charge of Zhao County Magistrate. All divisions will cooperate with Magistrate Zhao."

Zhao Keran's forehead twitched, he secretly looked at Zhou Jingren, and found that the other party had a few big characters written all over his face, please ask Jing'an Mansion for help.

Then he can rest assured...

He was really afraid that Emperor Ding'an, whom he had never met before, would show his political opponents. After all, there is no reason for a boss to cooperate with his subordinates...

"Zhao county magistrate stay here." Zhou Jingren said the same thing, got up to say goodbye, and breathed with Zhao Keran before leaving, and said: "In a few days, the new county magistrate will belong to His Majesty, and the county magistrate can rest assured."

Zhao Keran nodded, and thanked the prefect for his suggestion.

...

On the way back, Zhou Jingren took out a small wooden box from the hidden compartment of the carriage.

A few days ago, Fengyang ran away and killed two horses, and sent them to Jing'an mansion urgently.

Zhou Jingren knew that the small wooden box contained things sent by His Majesty, when he opened the wooden box with clean hands and saw what was inside, he was so shocked that he even forgot to breathe.

Inside the small wooden box was a paper book.

Before that, Chu Wenjue had written to him a long time ago, telling him that Fengyang produced such a magical object as "paper", and also sent him a lot of "toilet paper" instead of toilet paper.

The toilet paper is extremely soft and cleans up very well.Every time Zhou Jingren went to the toilet, he thanked His Majesty the Emperor from the bottom of his heart.

It was also mentioned in the letter at that time that paper was used instead of expensive cloth and cumbersome bamboo slips to make books.

It's just that Zhou Jingren didn't expect to see it so soon. Zhou Jingren looked at the words on the cover of this paper book. This is a must-read poetry book for every student in Dayuan.

He rubbed his palms against his clothes, and after drying the sweat in his palms, he carefully took out the book that was heavier than cloth but much lighter than bamboo slips.

Zhou Jingren had never experienced the touch of paper, and he couldn't even describe what it was like.

At that moment, he only felt that he had read the book for decades, but he couldn't find a word to describe it. He really deserved to be a scholar.

The fragrance of ink in the book caught Zhou Jingren's attention, and the more he read it, the more he felt something was wrong.

I have turned over more than ten pages back and forth, and every word on it is very neat, and there is always an indescribable strange feeling.

When he read it for the second time, he finally knew why he felt strange.

Every repeated word in the book, regardless of the font size, is exactly the same.

Zhou Jingren put the book down carefully, thinking in his heart that the sage had found a capable person who could repeat the whole text hundreds of times, and he could write the same words.

After finishing the book, when he was about to carefully put the book back into the small wooden box, Zhou Jingren discovered that there was a square object underneath.

After he picked it up, he pondered for a long time.

This square object is very thin, and it should also be made of paper.

Looking at the back, there is a line of small words on it, which says torn from here.

Zhou Jingren tore apart the paper following the prompts, and finally saw the flower note inside.

The flower paper exudes a faint floral fragrance, and finely powdered petals are scattered on the light yellow paper.

Chu Wenjue explained to Zhou Jingren that the outer bread was called an envelope, which was made by Zhao Gongxin.

In the letter, he explained Zhou Jingren's doubts. It turned out that the book was not copied by hand, but printed with the printing technology provided by Mr. Zhao.

In the letter, Chu Wenjue roughly talked about printing, and asked him to send someone to Jingyang to find a place to set up a printing workshop together with a paper workshop.

Seeing this, Zhou Jingren felt strange, why must be in Jingyang, Jing'an Mansion is obviously a better choice than Jingyang.

But Chu Wenjue didn't say anything, only said that no one can do better than Zhao Keran, and only let him let Zhao Keran do it.

Jing'an Mansion should cooperate with all arrangements.

...

Two days later, Zhao Keran's sprain has completely healed.

"Where's your lord?" Huo Yuan came to the study and found Du Youwei staying at the door.

Du Youwei scratched his head. Ever since the county magistrate sprained his head, he seemed to have been avoiding Brother Yuan.

But Brother Yuan always came to look for him, which made him very embarrassed as a gatekeeper.

"Going out, General Xu sent someone to pick them up, saying that all the refugees outside the city have been transferred to the vicinity of the military camp. I want the adults to go over there to discuss the details of the settlement."

Huo Yuan nodded and turned to leave.

Du Youwei looked at Huo Yuan's back, struggled for a while, and still called out to Huo Yuan.

There are only Du Youwei and Huo Yuan in the courtyard of the study.

Du Youwei boldly said to Huo Yuan: "Brother Yuan, I have always felt that something is wrong with you. These days, it has become worse than before." He kicked the small stones beside his feet, recalling the past. In the scene he had seen in Zhongzi, he asked: "Brother Yuan, tell the truth. Have you taken a fancy to the little county magistrate?"

Huo Yuan paused, he tilted his head slightly, his tone implied a warning, "Don't tell anyone."

Du Youwei was frightened by Huo Yuan's expression, if a third person in the yard heard it, maybe this person could kill him.

Hey.

Du Youwei sighed, the two people he really admired were Huo Yuan and Zhao Keran.

He hoped that both of them would be fine, but he was not stupid, he could feel that Zhao County Magistrate was really one-sided, and he really didn't mean anything at all.

"Brother Yuan, if you don't want people to know and ruin the reputation of the little county magistrate, then you should restrain yourself... Who in the yamen can't see the way you look all day long?

Everyone is from a poor family, and the village cannot afford a daughter-in-law. It is common for two grown men to live together.

Who can't see that when you look at the county magistrate, your expression is different from that of others?

In the guard squad, many of you have already noticed it, but you are the only one who thinks that you are hiding it well.I'm afraid the only person in the whole yamen, the magistrate, never thought much about it. "

Du Youwei sighed again, and said earnestly, "Brother Yuan, I don't think the magistrate didn't think too much, but he didn't think about it at all. You..."

You are afraid of being unrequited love for a lifetime.

Before he finished speaking, Huo Yuan had already left.

Du Youwei snorted, heartbroken.

Zhao Keran is in the military camp. In fact, the plan he made is very detailed, and he doesn't need to come in person.

But when he thought of Huo Yuan spanking him that day, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Nobody hit him like that!

Little harm, but extremely insulting!More importantly, he felt very strange, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

Subconsciously, he only wanted to escape, and always felt that if Huo Yuan caught him, he would be finished.

Rather than saying that he came to the military camp to help Xu Jun, it was better to say that he was hiding from Huo Yuan.

[000, do you think Brother Yuan is acting weird recently? 】Zhao Keran was lying on the couch, chatting with 000.

000 thought about the video stored in the satellite system, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Brother Ran did it first.

But he can't say, Brother Ran, you provoked someone because you were drunk and dishonest... And you forgot all about it. This is pure scumbag behavior.

【ah?Have it?Quite normal.Maybe because I thought you were young, I treated you like Huo An...] 000 found an excuse with a guilty conscience, and even framed Huo An as a baby.

Zhao Keran couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, silently compared himself and Huo An, and couldn't help shaking.

He doesn't want to be Huo Yuan's son.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, Zhao Keran asked Xu Jun to send someone to the county government to inform him that he would stay in the army overnight.

Huo Yuan didn't say much after hearing the news, and when the night was quiet, he sneaked into the night dressed in black.

Speeding all the way, hiding the breath and arriving at the barracks.

Dodging the guards, Huo Yuan found out where Zhao Keran was.Just when he was about to enter the tent and ask Zhao Keran why he avoided him, Huo Yuan stopped.

In the dark, he looked at the military tent in front of him surrounded by candlelight, and inside was the person he was thinking about day and night.

But he couldn't go any further.

Come and go, silently.

000 stared at the satellite system at Huo Yuan's back, then at the sleeping Zhao Keran, and finally said nothing.

Back at the county government office, Huo Yuan lay on the roof and looked at the night sky.

I remembered Du Youwei's words during the day.

Do you like Zhao Keran?

Of course he likes it, and he is unconsciously attracted to this kind and somewhat stupid kid.

Obviously very weak, but it is the support of the entire Jingyang.At the beginning, he was lonely and courageous, and he rushed to the foot of Jingyang Mountain desperately, desperately trying to make the refugees trust him.

At the beginning, Huo Yuan only thought that this kid was stupid and stupid, doing some useless things, thankless.

At that time, if there was an emergency, the refugees might really kill this ignorant little county magistrate.

But he couldn't deny that from that moment on, he was attracted by the other party's sincerity and calmness.

Later, when he learned that he was the son of his mentor, he paid more attention to it.He will subconsciously remind Zhao Keran of his words and deeds, he will protect him, he will indulge his little confusion, and he will think about whether he has eaten...

...

Many times, Huo Yuan would feel that Zhao Keran was far away.Many of his thoughts, ideas, and insights were unheard of by Huo Yuan.

Obviously he had a miserable life, but he didn't hesitate to be warm. He thought of everyone and really wanted everything here to be better.

Huo Yuan had never seen such a person.

The indifference of the battlefield, the ruthlessness of the royal family.After letting him meet Zhao Keran, he could no longer move away as far as he could see. Zhao Keran was fatally attracted to him.

It is the warm sun in winter and the cool breeze in summer.

At the beginning, he only thought that this was a concern for his old friend.

Later, Huo Yuan knew that this was not the case.

When he searched for Zhao Keran all over the county that day, and finally saw a man standing in front of him and called him Brother Yuan, he knew that he could no longer lie to himself.

He fell in love with the teacher's child.

Violating everything stipulated in this world, he couldn't control himself, and fell in love with Zhao Keran hopelessly.

When he went to the barracks, he was angry with Zhao Keran why he avoided him, even though he hadn't done anything yet.He wholeheartedly wanted to rush into the barracks, bring him back to the county government office, and put him in front of his eyes.

But he finally calmed down.

Yes, he obviously didn't do anything, but he has already scared people like this.

What's more, Zhao Keran is the grandson of Grand Master Dayuan and the son of Guozijian Jijiu.It is the existence that scholars all over the world yearn for, and Huo Yuan dare not move forward.

Huo Yuan could only hide this love until it dissipated.

As if a decision had been made, Huo Yuan returned to the room, but his frown never relaxed.

...

Mutual Market Supervisor.

"Lord Feng, Huaixi in the west is very satisfied with our sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes and other crops. I saw that the Maxima they were pulling was unusually tall and handsome. So I asked them for a Maxima in exchange for crops."

Fang Zhongyuan and Feng Yushan were chatting in the room, the past few days the Mutual Market Supervisor had a very happy conversation with Huai Xixi who came from the west to do business.

Originally, Huaixi wanted to exchange gold, silver and jewelry for those crops, but he didn't expect that the official of the Great Yuan took a fancy to their Maxima.

These horses are everywhere in Huaixi, where the ecological climate is mild and the pasture is rich.They bred excellent horses that are different from Dayuan, Beidan, and Xijue.

Feng Yushan admired Fang Zhongyuan's exchange of crops for horses, "Fang Jiancheng's method is wonderful. The Dayuan Border Pass has been fighting every year, and it has suffered a lot from Beidan and Xijue. It's not all because there are no good people. horses.

This Qianli horse in Huaixi is really a top-quality horse, and it looks much more majestic than the war horses of Beidan and Xijue. "

Fang Zhongyuan nodded, the little brown horse in Jingyang county government office was the best horse he had ever seen in his life.

As for the Maxima in the west of Huai, all of them are similar to the little brown horse.

At that time, he couldn't hold back and borrowed to ride. If it wasn't for the wrong place, Fang Zhongyuan really felt that he was riding the little brown horse of Ya Nei.

A horse that can rival Pingmei with the little brown horse must be a good horse.

"Is the date set?" Feng Yushan asked.

Fang Zhongyuan smiled and replied: "It's decided. In two days, Huaixi will exchange half of the crops with rare treasures, and the other half will be exchanged after they send people to drive the horses."

Feng Yushan raised his head and smiled brightly: "Okay!"

"It's not good! The two adults are not good!" There was a panic outside the door, and a guard's helmet was about to run away, his face full of panic.

"Why are you in such a panic?" Feng Yushan asked with a sullen face.

The guard forced himself to calm down, his voice was tinged with tears, "My lords, the road is gone!"

"What's missing? Tell me more clearly!" Fang Zhongyuan leaned his upper body towards the guards and asked eagerly.

He could vaguely guess, but that answer was beyond what they could bear.

But the guard's answer completely confirmed Fang Zhongyuan's conjecture.

"It is the road leading to the west of Huai from the Mutual Market Supervision."

On the other hand, there seemed to be a loud noise in the ear of Feng Erlao, with a "boom", they worked so hard and finally contributed to the bridge of trade between the two countries, and it collapsed in an instant.

"Why... why is it gone?" Fang Zhongyuan shook his hands and asked sadly, "Why is this good road gone?"

The guard wiped his tears and replied: "The one that was violently smashed, let alone a car, it is difficult for people to walk on it. There are potholes. If you don't pay attention, it is a pothole. A few wanted to check the road conditions, but the result In the blink of an eye, they were all sprained in the pit."

Feng Yushan closed his eyes and sighed deeply.When he opened his eyes again, he became cold.

"check!"

After the guards left, Feng Yushan told Fang Zhongyuan, "I would like to trouble Fang Jiancheng to talk to the Huaixi people about this matter. I am afraid that the trade between the two clans will stop for a while."

Fang Zhongyuan couldn't help but nodded, "If there is a solid and flat road, I don't think anyone else can smash this business road."

Feng Yushan never thought about it, but the Mutual Market Supervision is located at the border, and the bluestone slabs are not so good.They were in a hurry to open up trade quickly, and spent a lot of effort to repair the previous bluestone road.

But some people don't want them to wish...

I'm afraid it will take a long time for this road to be repaired.

Although the Huaixi people were very satisfied with the crops provided by Dayuan, they were about to leave, but the people from Dayuan came to tell them that the road was broken and they couldn't go.

When something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and it is hard for them not to think about it.

Is it because the people of Dayuan don't count their words and plan to kill the chicken to get the eggs?

Huaixi people calmly said that there was nothing to do and would wait, but in reality they were so scared that they would die, so they sent someone to sneak back to Huaixi that night.

The king who asked him to bring them a message only said that if they didn't come back after three months, then they should have been killed by the Dayuan people.

Fang Zhongyuan looked at the road that was smashed and could not be called a road, and was very sad.No one told him, so he wrote a letter with cloth and sent it to Jingyang that night, telling Zhao Keran about the bitterness and sorrow in his heart.
