Eastern Jin Dynasty: My powerful father

Chapter 387: Not violating the farming season
Qixian County (today's Binzhou, Shaanxi Province) was the seat of Xinping County. It was under the jurisdiction of Youfufeng during the Han Dynasty. The post road from Chang'an to Yinchuan passed through the western suburbs of Xinping County.

Since Huan Xi attaches great importance to the speed of information transmission, local governments must maintain the post roads every year.

Only when the road conditions are good, the postmen can deliver messages back and forth as quickly as possible.

The post roads of the Liang Kingdom were similar to the Chi Roads of the Qin Dynasty. The army and officials could walk, but ordinary people could not set foot on them.

Aman followed Quan Yi to inspect the counties in Guanzhong, and the carriage drove on the post road.

The four-wheeled carriage was not moving very fast, and Zhao Shao, the prefect of Xinping, learned that the prince was on tour and ordered people to smooth the road in advance. Therefore, Aman did not feel the slightest bump in the carriage.

However, Aman did not appreciate Zhao Shao's kindness.

In the carriage, Aman said angrily to Quan Yi:
"Sir, when the student returns to Chang'an, he must remind his father that Zhao Shao cannot be reused."

Of course Quan Yi knew why Aman was dissatisfied with Zhao Shao, but he still asked knowingly:

"I wonder why Zhao Shao offended the prince?"

Quan Yi looked at Aman's angry look and couldn't help but smile:
"Why should the prince be angry about this? When Zhao Shao comes to greet him, the prince reprimands him in public. The people should know that this matter has nothing to do with you."

"The common people are ignorant and do not know that this is Zhao Shao's own initiative, and students will surely be affected by it."

Hearing this, Quan Yi seemed to have heard a big joke. He laughed so hard on the carriage that he sat upright after a while and said:

Aman hesitated and said:
"Zhao Shao comes from a famous family, should we save him some face?"

"He is just a direct descendant of the Tianshui Zhao family. Why should the prince be so cautious? If the prince cherishes feathers, it is better to let the minister come forward."

"However, he ordered the people to repair the roads at this time. This move goes against the farming season and will definitely cause complaints from the people.

In fact, the reason Aman has such worries is because he rarely interacts with outsiders.

He puffed up his chest and said:
"The reason why I hesitated was just because I was worried that I would cause trouble to my father. It was by no means irresponsible.

Aman said bluntly:
"Now is the time for spring plowing. As the prefect of Xinping, Zhao Shao should have encouraged farmers to teach mulberry trees and encourage production.

In particular, the leader of the Zhao family, Zhao Ju, was worshiped as the governor of Liang, and his guzang was Shan Yutai Zuofu. When Zhang Yaoling, the governor of Liangzhou, could not return to his territory, he was essentially the number one figure arranged by Huan Xi in the Hexi region. , in charge of the government of a state.

"Since Mr. Zhao Shao is underestimated, what do I have to fear?
"I will do this myself, no need for my husband to do it for me!"

Aman trusted Quan Yi's judgment. After all, this was one of the ministers his father trusted most.

As the number one clan in Longyou, the Tianshui Zhao family further consolidated its position in Longyou after surrendering to Huanxi.

At the same time, Quan Yi came from the Lueyang Quan family and lived in the same Longyou district as the Tianshui Zhao family. Aman felt that he must know the situation of the Tianshui Zhao family better than he did.

Therefore, Aman no longer worried about quelling the complaints of the people and arousing the resentment of Tianshui Zhao family.

As Quan Yi said, Zhao Shao is just a direct descendant of the Tianshui Zhao family. There are many such people in the Tianshui Zhao family, but Aman is the eldest grandson of Huan Wen and the eldest son of Huan Xi.

If Zhao Shao resented Aman because Aman reprimanded him in public, the Tianshui Zhao family would draw a clear line with him to avoid harming the clan.

At dusk, Tuoba Yan took a carriage and arrived at Xinping County. According to the itinerary, she was going to rest in the city today and start again early tomorrow morning. However, as the sun was about to set, the carriage stopped outside the city and did not start.

Tuoba Yan lifted the car curtain and asked the maid riding a horse beside her:
"Why haven't you entered the city yet?"

This maid came from Dai as a dowry with Tuoba Yan in the early years. She was not very good at serving others, but she was a good hunter on horseback. This is also consistent with the fact that Tuoba Yan never did anything even after she got married. Related to giving up the hobby of hunting.

The maid replied:
"The city gate ahead is blocked for some unknown reason."

The post road did not run through Xinping County, but passed through its western suburbs. At this time, Tuoba Yan's carriage had left the post road and stopped on the official road in the west of the city.

Huan Xi only did not allow common people to use the post roads, but everyone could use the official roads.

Tuoba Yan ordered her maid:

"Go and see what's going on."

The maid promised and rode away. After a while, she led her horse and squeezed out of the crowd, went straight to Tuoba Yan's carriage, and replied:
"Princess Wang, in front of you is the Crown Prince of Liang, who is admonishing the Governor of Xinping."

Liu Xiwuqi has returned to the tribe to inherit the throne of Zuoxian. Since he did not marry his aunt as his wife according to the ancestral system, but took his first wife as his princess, before Tuoba Yan can enter Huanxi's family, he needs to You have to call her the princess.

Tuoba Yan was very curious after hearing this. She was very familiar with Huan Xi and naturally knew that Huan Xi's eldest son was still young, so she immediately asked about the reason for the conflict between the two.

The maid relayed to Tuoba Yan what she had learned from passers-by:

"It is said that the Xinping Prefect took it upon himself to please the Crown Prince, so he imposed corvee labor during the busy farming season and asked the people to repair the roads. Now the Crown Prince is reprimanding him."

As she spoke, the maid smiled and said:
"I didn't expect that at such a young age, the Crown Prince of Liang was also a master who cared about the people. It is true that like father, like son."

Putting aside the thing in Huan Xi's crotch, his reputation in Kansai is surprisingly good. Of course, a person like Huan Xi will push Quan Yi out as a shield even if taxes are raised. Dirty water No matter what, it can't be splashed on him.

Since this maid came to Guanzhong, she has heard many people's praises for Huan Xi. Therefore, through her own filter, Huan Xi is simply a perfect person.

Tuoba Yan smiled, but did not break the maid's fantasy. Not everyone has such a thing as wisdom.

As Aman said, the common people are ignorant. Many times they can only see the appearance and thus firmly believe in the things they agree with.

"Wang Taifei, after going to Chang'an, we have become a family. Do you want to go forward and meet the Crown Prince of Liang now?"

The maid asked narrowly.

She was able to dowry from Daiguo to Hetao, and then followed Tuoba Yan from Hetao to Chang'an. Naturally, there is no need to elaborate on her relationship with Tuoba Yan.

Tuoba Yan said angrily:
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart."

The maid knew that she was trying to scare her, but she still put down the reins and covered her mouth with both hands, but she couldn't hide the smile between her brows and eyes.

Tuoba Yan pondered for a moment and then ordered:
"Although the prince is young, I have filial piety and it is inconvenient to see guests, so I'd better leave it at that to avoid gossip."
