Fang Chang slightly adjusted his posture and walked towards the village with them.

So Gong Yezhu, the new governor of Lizhou, suddenly discovered the person following him, but just like Fang Chang appeared in front of him every time he appeared in front of him, he was just a little surprised and took it as usual, not asking why he hadn't seen this man in white just now.

However, when Gong Yezhu was surprised, he soon became in a daze.

Perhaps it was because after coming out of the Western Regions to the Central Plains, I encountered too many people, so Gongyezhu couldn't remember where he had seen Fang Chang for a while.

So he was talking to Wei He and suddenly got stuck.

Wei He, who was working on Shangguan, keenly noticed this. He was about to introduce Fang Chang to the new Lizhou magistrate, when he heard him ask Fang Chang: "This gentleman looks so kind. Have I seen you before? I am sorry that I am not as good as the past, and I can't recall it."

Fang Chang smiled and reminded:

"We once met one by the bonfire by Zhuyezawa."

"Oh oh oh, sir, have a good memory." Gong Yezhu suddenly realized.

After Fang Chang's remarks, he instantly remembered the first place he encountered when he ran out with a bookcase and a wooden stick when he grew up in Zhuyezawa, riding a horse and running out with a bookcase and a wooden stick, as well as the camel walls in the wind shelter at night, the tents and bonfires inside the walls.

At this time, Wei Hecai next to him introduced: "This is Mr. Fang, an elder who is here. He happened to pass by here and visit me by the way."

With this relationship, the conversation between the three people suddenly became much easier.

Although Lizhou has floods all year round, it is more counterintuitive that most areas of Lizhou, even the villages and towns by the river, are relatively short of water compared to other parts of the world. Therefore, the growth of farmland outside is much worse. Perhaps only by completely taming the river and tying the water that is often affected inside into ditches and irrigating various places can there be improvements.

Even in the early spring villages, due to the lack of precipitation, large areas of loess appear on the ground, only sparse grass buds grow on it, and occasionally a few ants crawl over to find food. Only in corners such as the corners of the walls where there is no sunshine for many years are covered with moss and weeds, and occasionally insects are heard.

Although he acted as a superior to Wei He, Gong Yezhu was still very respectful to Fang Chang.

Gongyezhu, who is full of knowledge, has a very accurate look at people after his experience. He could tell at a glance that Fang Chang is not an ordinary person, so he was very sincere in his words.

In the end, the few people did not go to the big house that was being prepared, but came to Wei He's room together. The host house placed two tables for eating, placed stools around, and went to boil tea. The few people sat down according to the guest and host.

Gongyezhu quickly got to the point. He asked Wei He and the other two other water managers a lot of things, very careful and very modest in things they didn't understand. He also took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote down some important things that he heard on the spot.

The four soldiers he brought were outside the door, two of them stood guard with their waists and knives, and two went to the next room to have a tea and rest, and they were rotated every hour. It seemed that the new governor was indeed very good. Several soldiers spoke very kindly to others, and it was obvious that there was a way under Gongyezhu.

The inquiry lasted for a whole half of a day and listened to it all.

Gongyezhu was very satisfied with the itinerary. He carefully dried the ink marks on the things he had written down, folded them carefully and put them on.

Of course, Gongyezhu did not fully understand or believe what he heard at the meeting this morning. He had already given instructions and went to various places on the river engineering industry in the afternoon to verify the content they learned, and at the same time, it was also true because of personal inspection.

The two water management officials received the order and did not dare to neglect them. After saying goodbye, they went out to make arrangements. Only Gongyezhu, Wei He and Fang Chang were left in the house.

Fang Chang asked Gongyezhu:

"How did you experience it after coming to Central Plains? Can you adapt?"

Gongyezhu nodded:

"That's nature. When I was in Zhuye Lake before, I only saw from books that the world is so great, the world is so complex, and the people's livelihood is so difficult. Now, after coming to the Central Plains, I have seen it with my own eyes and understood what I learned in the book. And I feel very honored to be able to practice the teachings in the classics with my own hands."

Then Fang Chang asked Gongyezhu about his experience after coming to the Central Plains, and the latter said:

"After coming out of Zhuyezawa, I went straight east, but I was not thinking about making achievements, but about going to see the sea."

"I have only seen the magnificent waves of the sea in books before. I have always been curious about how the whole world is filled with water. Since I came to the world and have such opportunities and leisure, I must not miss the view."

"But the chaos in the world has emerged. Along the way, I have seen many miserable and poor things, as well as the magistrates who have raised troops from all over the country. Wherever the army passes, there will be a lot of sadness."

"This tragic phenomenon made me very sad to read, and I also understood why the people in the book yearned for the world's peace. This thought even diluted the idea of ​​going to see the sea."

"But I finally couldn't see the sea."

Speaking of this, Gong Yezhu's face was very rich, with regret and gratitude.

"I walked a little bit, and did not go directly east, but because of the direction of the official road, it was slightly south. As a result, after walking farther, I crossed the river and went to Jiangnan. The scene there was much different from that of the Central Plains, but the people were suffering because of the turmoil."

"It was also in Jiangnan that I met the rebel army and many benevolent and ambitious people. They expanded very quickly and were very short of people. I still remember my ambition when I came out of Zhuyeze. This was a good opportunity, so I signed up and was taken into consideration and entrusted with important tasks at first sight."

"I was busy working later and I didn't have time to continue to look at the sea east, although it was only more than a hundred miles away from the sea. Sometimes I would think that when the world returns to Qingping in the future, I might go to the beach to live for two years after I retire."

Among the rebel army, Gongyezhu gained sufficient space to show his strengths.

During many major actions, Gongyezhu made many contributions and completed all the things he was responsible for. All his colleagues and superiors who had contacted him praised him.

Now the rebels are fast, but the logistics line is getting longer and longer, so it is urgent to quickly and stably capture the places. Since there are many magistrates in various places, it is not a good choice to use the old bureaucrats.

Therefore, the lack of manpower has always existed, and the increasingly fierce rebels still gritted their teeth and squeezed out some outstanding men and took over as local officials. In addition to local people's livelihood, their mission is to organize the restoration of production, supply materials to the front line army as soon as possible, and shorten the logistics distance.
