Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 624 Prosperous Ye City

  Zaozhi came to Yecheng and had already stayed at the post station for three or four days.

  I want to see General Cheqi, sorry, may I ask your name and your position?

  Yingchuan Zao family?

  Shangjun Diannong is engaged in?

  The clerk in charge of the reception accepted Zaozhi's obeisance in a serious manner, and then said with a smile that he would pass it on to the charioteer general. Then, as soon as Zaoyi left, he threw it aside and never looked at it again.

What the hell?

  Shangjun?

  Is there still this county that the big man is targeting? Isn't it already obsolete? I don't read much, don't lie to me!

   Besides, he is neither a famous family nor an important official of the imperial court. What kind of character is a chariot general?

  Yecheng deserves to be the seat of Jizhou, and it is extremely prosperous.

   Zaoyi came out again from the concierge at the west gate of General Chaqi's Mansion, and looked back, feeling a little helpless. As for the main entrance of Cheqi General's Mansion, hehe, don't think about it...

  Cheqi General’s Mansion is a little shorter in the east-west direction, and a little longer in the north-south direction. It is located in the north of the city. In fact, it is the original Jizhou Mu’s mansion. Of course, it is now owned by Yuan Shao. The General's Mansion occupies a fairly large area in the middle of the north of the city, almost extending from Shizi Street in the city to Yongyang Gate in the north.

In the General’s Mansion, there are office halls, large and small wing rooms, a vestibule for receiving officials, and a tree-lined backyard with singing birds and fragrant flowers. The exquisitely carved eaves and corners are faintly revealed on the wall, showing the wealth of the Han Dynasty. and glory.

In addition to the Yongyang Gate in the north, two new city gates were opened in the north of Yecheng, Guangyang Gate in the east and Fengyang Gate in the west. In addition, another piece of land about half the size of the original Yecheng was circled, and construction projects are underway...

   Of course, it is building a new government office for the chariot general Yuan Shao, as well as some residences including some leading figures in Jizhou. So now Yecheng has actually become two parts, one is the newly built northern part of the city, which is called Yebei City, and the original Yecheng is naturally Yenan City.

The post station is located between Xihuamen and Qianmen in Yenan City, which is also the residence of some ordinary low-level officials, and there are large markets near Shangchunmen and Zhongyangmen in the east of the city, with many merchants and Where are the stores located.

   As for the south of the city?

  Sorry, Zaozhi has never been there, the south of the city has always been a poor area.

  In fact, basically, as long as it is a formal and populous city, the specifications are actually similar.

  Although Fei Qian didn’t ask Zaoyi to complete the work within a certain period of time, and the farming work in Pingyang area has basically come to an end, Zaoyi still thinks it’s better to finish the work earlier and return to Bingzhou earlier.

  Although Yecheng is very prosperous, but for some reason, Zaoyi still feels a little out of place and uncomfortable.

   Maybe I really have to go to Xu Ziyuan.

Ugh.

  Zaozhi shook his head, wobbled back to the inn, got a pen and paper, wrote a new letter of fame, put it in his bosom, and walked out the door again.

   For the general of the chariot and rider, it is natural to pay homage, but for other people, famous assassins are fine.

   I never imagined that I, Zaozhi Zaozijing, would become such a person...

  ××××××××××××××××

Xu You was not in a good mood during this time. When he returned home from the office, he had a stern face and no smile at all. After getting off the carriage, he ordered the housekeeper to fetch some supper to eat, and then he arrived at the back with his sleeves Church.

   After entering the back hall, Xu You looked around, feeling a little better.

  Xu You went to school when he was young, but many scriptures were treasured by the big family and would not be easily read by others. As a last resort, Xu You took some treasures from his family and exchanged them with others for the opportunity to read them.

  Although such an approach was regarded as an elegant thing among the behavior of scribes in the Han Dynasty, such behavior also became a heart disease for him later.

   Now, although Xu You no longer needs to exchange any treasures for books, he will subconsciously collect some treasures...

  In the back hall, the display is naturally some treasures collected by Xu You in Jizhou during this period of time.

Xu You's favorite thing is to look through the various collections in his home. It is almost the happiest thing for him. Basically, as long as he has a little time, he will wipe the treasures in his collection carefully, and then put them under the light. After watching for a long time, you can rest in relief, and sometimes even fall asleep with your arms in your arms, so that you can have a good dream.

  When the butler served the supper, he also put Zaozhi's famous thorn aside, and said softly: "Today, a young talent from Yingchuan came to visit for the sacrifice, and I specially left the famous thorn here..."

   "Young talent?"

  Xu You frowned, not saying yes or no.

  After Yuan Shao accepted Jizhou Mu, he assigned some official positions.

  Xu You was worshiped by Yuan Shao as Jizhou Mu and engaged in offering sacrifices to wine. If you say that the position is not bad.

  Biejia is naturally the one with the highest position under Muzhou, but this position cannot be granted to Xu You, and even people from Yuzhou cannot get it.

  The reason is very simple, Yecheng is in Jizhou.

  In order to win over the local gentry in Jizhou, the chariot general, naturally only Jizhou people can hold this position.

   Others are engaged in subordinate officials, the highest position is called engaged in sacrificial wine, and Xu You is in this position.

It sounds good, but in fact, this person who is engaged in sacrificial wine has no actual jurisdiction. …

  This is exactly what makes Xu You feel a little uncomfortable recently.

  However, Xu You didn't realize that his reputation when collecting these treasures would make people feel at ease to put money, food and personnel assessment in his hands?

   Xu You may not have thought of it, but he may subconsciously avoid this question.

   "This character is not bad..."

  Xu You casually opened the name badge with one hand, and accidentally dropped something that looked like a letter from the name card. Xu You looked down, but didn't care. First, he squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the birthplace and surname on the name thorn, and murmured: "The Yingchuan Zao family... well, it seems that it is not a big family..."

He deliberately put it aside, but after he smacked his lips twice, he picked up the letter again, scanned it up and down, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he called out to the housekeeper loudly, and asked with a famous stab: "Where is this person?" ?”

  The butler of the Xu Mansion replied with his hands down, "I've already gone back... But, I said I'll come back tomorrow..."

  Xu You nodded, smiled, and said: "If this person comes tomorrow, if I haven't come back yet, I must keep him! Don't neglect!"

  Although the butler didn't know why, he agreed with all his heart.

  After the housekeeper stepped back, Xu You carefully read the letter in the name thorn again, pondered for a while, and smiled, with several crow's feet appearing on his narrowed eyes...

   Yecheng, after it was in the hands of Cao Cao, was renovated again, and the famous Tongque Terrace was built...

   Yecheng is no less important than Xudu...

   At that time, the entire gentry circle in the Han Dynasty, one was Yuzhou, and the other was Jizhou...

   Large population base, many gentry...
