"That's the big deal!"

A moment later, Ren Hong was standing under the wall facing north on the inner side of Xuanquan Zhiwu Courtyard, smiling, but cursing in his heart.

It turned out that the husband of the slaughter called Ren Hong back in a hurry to work for him: he copied a court edict on the wall...

There is no way, who let Xuan Quanzhi have only three people to read...

The other two are the Chief Executive of Xuanquan, Xu Fengde, the Seifu, and the Qicheng sent by the county to supervise the operation of the post station.

Zhicheng was also responsible for communicating with Dunhuang County and Xiaogu County, and there were often no people all day long. As for Zhi's husband Xu Fengde, he was a lazy old man, and he said that he only cared about big things and not small things, so Ren Hong did all the work of copying documents.

For example, the "Fifty Monthly Orders for the Inspector's Imperial Inspector's Imperial Inspector's Imperial Instructions" is hundreds of words, and it may take half an hour to copy it.

Ren Hong gently recited the above words: "The imperial edict said that the yin and yang in the past are not in harmony, and the wind and rain are from time to time. Therefore, the numbers are harmed by the sacred kings, and all the emperors and kings do not follow the yin and yang in the sky, respect the yin and yang, and respect the people to achieve a good harvest."

"June 1960, 2018, 2018..."

Ren Hong calculated that on the third day of the sixth month, this edict was issued from Chang'an. On July 18th, Dunhuang County received a message and conveyed it to various institutions at the lower level overnight.

Today, on July 19th, I sent it to Xuanquanjie...

"One rider passes and one rider, the post cavalry is like a star flowing. The plain is bright and the Xianyang is coming to the top of the Longshan Mountain in the evening..." Such a picture appeared in front of Ren Hong's eyes.

From Chang'an to Dunhuang, it was nearly 2,000 kilometers. The post cavalry ran for 45 days, with an average of 50 kilometers a day. According to the road conditions of the Han Dynasty, it was quite reasonable.

However, this is not the limit speed of the post office. In the event of an emergency military situation, the post cavalry can reach Chang'an in half a month!

This is the speed of the Han Empire's government orders from the central government to the grassroots level.

Thanks to post stations like Xuanquanzhi, which are spread all over the country, feeding post cavalry at any time, and passing urgent military orders and warm letters from the mainland to the frontier, or from the frontier back to the mainland.

As for the content of the edict, it is actually very simple and clear:

"It is forbidden to cut down wood, which means that all the big and small trees cannot be cut down. In August, the plants and trees fell down, and they should be cut down."

"Don't fly a bird to the end. It means that birds are not allowed to grow up. It is always banned for 12 months."

Ren Hong was amused after reading it: "Isn't this the environmental protection law?"

The edict stipulates different taboos for the four seasons, such as logging is prohibited in spring, hunting young animals, hunting birds, building large-scale construction is prohibited, and burning mountains and forests in summer...

During the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, Confucianism was respected, and the Five Classics Doctors were appointed. The imperial edicts issued by the court paid great attention to the inheritance of the "Li of Zhou".

These fifty items were selected from the monthly order of the Book of Rites. In addition, the ruling people are superstitious about the "resonance of heaven and man" and believe that doing the right thing in different seasons can ensure good weather and weather. If the rules are violated, such as executing prisoners in spring and summer, it will cause bad disasters.

However, in Ren Hong's view, these regulations are indeed of positive significance to Dunhuang County.

It is now a warm period, and the vegetation in Dunhuang is far superior to later generations, but there are still oasis and few forests and many deserts. With the influx of immigrants and the cultivation of farmland, the population of Dunhuang surged, with more than 30,000 people. If it is like the south, burning wasteland and logging without any worries, the consequences will be terrible.

Don’t laugh, in the Northwest, sustainable development really has to start from ancient times.

"No matter whether anyone can understand it or not, I will strictly abide by it after reading it, I will copy it carefully and let the officials and passers-by know..."

Ren Hong asked someone to help him, drew a frame made of ink lines on the wall, and held a thick brush in his hand, and copied the text in the form of "inscribed ink".

Ren Hong learned calligraphy in his previous life. After coming to this era, he studied hard and practiced hard. His handwriting was plain and steady, broad and generous. Lu Duoshu, who held an ink inkstone next to him, couldn't help but praise him:

"Ren Jun's handwriting is so good!"

Ren Hong took two steps back and appreciated his achievements. He smiled and said, "How do you know if it's good?"

"Although I can't read, I look square and pretty!"

Lu Duoshu whispered: "It's better than what Zhisufu wrote..."

Ren Hongchao glanced at the hall and smiled, "Don't let him hear it."

The miser Xu Fengde is a bad old man. He is not bad, but he is a little narrow-minded.

After saying the good things, Lu Duoshu said hesitantly again: "Ren, if you have time, can you write a letter for the villain?"

Although Ren Hong's wrists were a little sore, he still agreed immediately.

Generally, Ren Hong would not refuse such requests. The Han Dynasty had a population of more than 40 million, and 99% of them were illiterate. Literary scholars were respected, but sometimes they would be excluded if they took themselves too seriously.

Ren Hong is not a very self-respecting literati. He is more willing to take advantage of this insignificant advantage and make friends, and in exchange, he can learn something from them.

A ruler has a shortage, and an inch has a strength. Even if you have a thousand years of knowledge, Ren Hong also has things he is not good at: such as pulling a bow and shooting archery, riding a horse and driving a car, judging the number of people through footprints, identifying plants in the wild, and even the simplest way to make fire.

These days, there are only two ways to make fire: Mingsui and Shisui, which require copper clarification and flint respectively, both of which require skills.

It's so southern a day without a lighter or a match!

Although Lu Duoshu was a small soldier who was around the husband, he was also considered omnipotent. He not only could drive a cattle, horse and carriage, but also often ordered him to go to Xiaogu County to buy goods, and occasionally help him.

After returning to the church house and sitting, Ren Hong asked Lu Duoshu whom he wanted to write to?

Lu Duoshu prepared the wooden slips himself: "My brother Lu Guangsu, he served in Bu Guang's waiting official Polu Sui."

Dunhuang County is an imperial border, with four division commanders: Yumen Commander, Yangguan Commander, Central Commander, and Yihe Commander.

Under the four commanders, there are also guardians, each of whom is in charge of the beacon towers of the border of hundreds of miles. For example, the commander in the central commander has five guardians, namely Pingwang, defeat Hu, Bu Guang, and swallow Hu, and Long Live.

Under the vocational office, there is a department where the department has a chief.

Below the eldest son of the waiter, there are the shuilongs guarding the various beacon towers, with one shuilongs and ten people.

This is the waiting system of Dunhuang County. It is them who are watching the borders of the empire, and any movements are transmitted to the garrison troops through beacons.

Generally speaking, the garrison soldiers are held by the garrison soldiers in the mainland, but the waiting soldiers are mostly local natives in Dunhuang.

Lu Duoshu's trust was not long, it was just that the weather was getting colder, so he asked someone to send two winter clothes to his younger brother, and told his younger brother that everything was fine at home. He would go to see his mother every time he was Xiumu and let his younger brother serve well, so don't worry.

Ren Hong wrote it out in three or five steps, and looked up at Lu Duoshu: "Do you brother know how to read?"

"Chief Sui will read it to him."

Lu Duoshu himself was a little uncertain: "It should be?"

...

After the matter was over, Lu Duoshu left with great gratitude, and Ren Hong's wrist was also sore.

Registering biography, copying edicts, classifying passers-by's fee book, and writing letters to the vassals who are placed in the office... This is Ren Hong's daily work. It seems trivial and ordinary little things, but it is also a microcosm of the administration of the Han Empire.

Like the other 36 people in Xuanquanzhen, he was a small screw on the huge body of the empire.

Just at this moment, Su Yannian, who had finished his meal in the house, and Chen Pengzu happened to come out accompanied by his husband Xu Fengde.

Ren Hong stood up and bowed:

"Xu Seifu, two officials, can you please share your meals?"

"It's just ordinary." Chen Pengzu still looked like someone else owed him money.

Su Yannian exposed him: "Chen Weishi, you have to speak with conscience. You just ate the plate of sand and onion chicken, and you still praised it all, I only got one!"

He pointed to Chen Pengzu's lips and laughed: "Look, you still have ointment on your mouth!"

Chen Pengzu felt embarrassed and didn't care about being decent. He quickly wiped the oil on his mouth with his sleeve.

Chicken is egg, the market price is 3 yuan per person, but it is not cheap. Sand onion is a common wild vegetable on Dunhuang sandy land.

Nowadays, the method of making sand and onion is to use salt to make cold dishes and dry rice, but the hanging spring is unique.

Su Yannian faced his husband Xu Fengdedao: "In the past, officials and merchants were rumored that the food in Xuanquan was the best in Dunhuang. I think this statement is not false."

"The officials have been awarded too much, but they are just rough food."

Xu Fengde was over 50 years old and limped. He used to be a squat who was guarding the border. He was injured when he resisted the Huns' disturbances. He was then arranged to be a suspicious man in Xuanquan for more than ten years.

Now that he is being praised, he is humble in his mouth, but his face is red and he is a little proud.

Ren Hong knew that Old Man Xu just loved face.

Originally, they were placed in nine offices in Dunhuang County, and often ranked at the bottom. Because they were not well received by distinguished guests, many horses died, and were often criticized by the Inspector. Every time they went to the county to make plans, it was the most embarrassing time for Xu Fengde.

Until half a year ago, after Ren Hong came back from studying in Xiaogu County, he gave him many novel suggestions.

For example, I went to the county town to find a blacksmith to cast an "iron pot". Ren Hong also taught Xia Dingmao how to stir-fry food, which had a unique taste. For example, fried eggs with sand and scallions are a unique feature: add some hot oil paste, and the eggs will be sand and scallions, and stir-fry them over high heat, and the aroma is strong.

The cooking was launched thousands of years in advance, and this was the only one in the Han Dynasty! However, because the ointment and oil were expensive, the iron pot would only sound when officials ate it. But it was enough to make the officials and envoys applauded repeatedly, and Xu Fengde was also praised, so he was no longer afraid of going to the county for a meeting.

When he was happy, he promoted Xia Dingmao to become a chef, while Ren Hong was appointed as an assistant official.

Su Yannian was still unwilling to finish the meal, so he touched his beard: "It's a pity that he's leaving, otherwise I would really want to have a few more meals."

Xu Fengdedao: "When the two lords welcome Mr. Fu back, Xuanquan should prepare a banquet. At that time, there will be more than chickens, chickens, pigs, and sheep. Zhuanbao has never eaten them in other places."

Su Yannian patted his abdomen wrapped in armor and erected slightly: "Serious, I must come with an empty stomach!"

Because of his inconvenience in legs and feet, Xu Fengde asked Ren Hong to send Su on his behalf and Chen went to the stable.

On the way, Ren Hong pretended to be careless and asked: "I dare to ask Mr. Su and Mr. Chen, I wonder when Mr. Fu will arrive at Xuanquan?"

Chen Pengzu said: "We don't know the specific itinerary of Mr. Fu. You are just waiting for the county to send a letter to you!"

Generally speaking, important people pass by the station and often call each other. The county has to send people to each other one to two days in advance to communicate with each other one to prepare for reception.

He didn't say it, Ren Hong also guessed it, at most ten days.

The two got on the horse. Before Su Yannian left, he still looked back at Ren Hongdao:

"Young young man, Mr. Fu admires the young brave men who dare to do the most. When he arrives at Xuanquan, he will be happy when he sees you!"

...

PS: The first man named Xunquan who was named "Fengde" was in office in the first year of the first year of Emperor Xuan of Han (73 BC).

The Four Seasons and Months are written by the northern wall of the hanging spring. It is a retention of the Wang Mang period. The pictures are found in the circle of book friends.
