Early morning.

A touch of white slowly floated in the sky, resembling a fish belly.

The sergeant on duty at the city head rubbed his hands and said to his companion: "Although this Mingfu is young, he is not only courageous, but also very skilled. He can even make horse meat that tastes better than others. Do you think this can be learned from reading?

of."

The companion rubbed his cold face and said, "Most likely, I don't know if our children will have such an opportunity."

“Who’s going to come here and teach?”

"yes!"

The two turned back, and the sergeant pointed to the city and said: "Whenever I get tired of guarding in this place where birds don't poop, I like to look at the smoke. Looking at the smoke, I know that I am not just guarding the Tang Dynasty."

Taiping County is even guarding the smoke."

The first wisp of smoke rose slowly.

A new day has come.

In the backyard of the county house, Cao Ying carried a large clay pot into the dining area.

Wang Laoer sat there on his knees, a little impatient.

Yang Xuan was giving instructions to the old thief.

"...We need to strike while the iron is hot, mingle with those people, and understand the situation in the city."

"time to eat."

After everyone sat down, Yi Niang began to distribute the food.

The horse meat is very soft and tastes good. With a few pancakes, this breakfast is very rich.

The old thief didn't like horse meat, so he coaxed Wang Lao Er, "Old Er, give me your dried meat, and I will give you all the horse meat. Look, there are so many, you will make a lot of money."

Wang Laoer looked at the horse meat in his bowl and said hesitantly: "Your meat is not delicious."

"tasty."

"Then let me try it."

"Just taste it." The old thief secretly rejoiced.

"You said that?" Wang Laoer didn't believe it.

The old thief was like a cat that has coaxed a mouse. He smiled very kindly and said, "Lang Jun and the others can all testify."

Wang Laoer picked up a piece of horse meat. After eating it, he said dissatisfiedly: "It doesn't taste good. I won't change it."

Old thief: "..."

Yi Niang said dissatisfied: "You deserve it!"

Wang Lao Er's obsession with meat was puzzling, and Yang Xuan was also a little curious, so he asked: "Why does Wang Lao Er like eating meat so much?"

Wang Laoer raised his head and said, "My mother-in-law said, whoever gives me meat all the time is a good person."

I keep eating meat!

Yang Xuan felt a little stressed.

After dinner, Yang Xuan ordered Yi Niang to rest at home, while Cao Ying went to the front to deal with political affairs. He took Wang Laoer to patrol the city.

At this moment, everyone in the city is having breakfast.

Most people stood outside their homes holding a bowl, eating and talking to their neighbors.

"It's Mingfu."

Everyone was holding bowls and looking at Yang Xuan who was coming.

The sudden silence frightened a child, holding a bowl and looking at Yang Xuan with fearful eyes.

Yang Xuan walked up to him.

Everyone stopped using their chopsticks.

Yang Xuan took out something, put it in the child's bowl, rubbed the top of his head, and said with a smile: "He is a smart child!"

After Yang Xuan walked away, the child's father lowered his head and took a look.

"It's jerky!"

"It's jerky!"

"Mingfu is really friendly to the people."

"The Ming Dynasty can fight with horse thieves. Naturally, it is not comparable to those charming bitches in the past."

"yes!"

Yang Xuan listened to the discussion behind him and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

Wang Laoer felt a little aggrieved and said, "Lang Jun, this is my dried meat."

"I'll give you two yuan later!" Yang Xuan was very angry.

"I've seen the Ming Dynasty." Qian Mo also came to inspect the city.

"You came just in time, take me to see my injured brother."

Yang Xuan immediately went to visit the injured sergeant. When he heard that the medicinal materials were not enough, he ordered: "If you go to the state house, you must rob the medicinal materials."

Looking back, he said to Qian Mo: "We are all warriors. We cannot let them bleed and shed tears."

"Mingfu..."

A sergeant with an injured leg choked up, "With Mingfu's words, it's worth waiting for me."

"Take good care of yourself." Yang Xuan leaned over and patted his shoulder.

As he walked out, Suzaku said: "They will die for you."

"It's just a comparison of feelings."

But those who went to the state capital came back disappointed.

"There's really no medicine."

Qian Mo sighed, "That's all, this is fate."

Yang Xuan felt that his chest was full of anger, "You earn your life by yourself! Where can I find the medicinal materials?"

Qian Mo was silent for a moment, "There are horse thieves, and there are also those foreign races."

"Why?" Yang Xuan's face turned pale.

"Those foreigners can buy medicinal materials from the Liao people, and horse thieves can also buy them."

We just can’t!

Yang Xuan understood, "Chenzhou is too far from Chang'an, the people are poor, and the merchants are unwilling to come here to sell goods."

"Yes." Qian Mo didn't expect that the young county magistrate would think through the relationship in an instant, and he couldn't help but have more expectations for the future.

"Horse thief?"

Yang Xuan returned to the county house.

There are very few political affairs in Taiping County. Two petty officials, Hu Zhang and Zhen Siwen, plus Cao Ying, can handle them easily and comfortably.

"I've seen the Ming Dynasty."

The three of them stood up and saluted.

Yang Xuan nodded and came in.

"Those wounded are in urgent need of medicinal materials, and as the weather is getting colder, there will inevitably be more patients in the city. Therefore, the first priority right now is to find medicinal materials."

Cao Ying was startled, "It's difficult."

“It’s hard but it has to be done.”

Yang Xuan took the map, pointed at it and said: "The left side of Taiping County is the Jibo tribe, the front is the Waxie tribe, and the back is the Yuhu tribe. The closest one is the Waxie tribe."

Cao Ying slowly slid her finger along the map, pressed it on the Waxie Department, raised her head and asked, "Does Mr. Lang want to get some medicinal materials from the Waxie Department?"

"That's right."

The news came at noon that day.

"Mingfu went to look for medicinal materials."

Cao Ying came out to calm people's hearts.

…

Opposite Chenzhou is Tanzhou in Northern Liao, but there is no border between the two states.

In the middle is a wide grassland.

Wherever there is grassland, there are herders, and gradually they become tribes.
