"Forehead……"

Wang Hou kept a smile on his face, and was sitting in the middle of the carriage. The newly-launched official robe with black sleeves and black collars was also neat and neat. Although he was full of authority, he looked like a clay Buddha in the temple.

There was no way, Cao Hongjie sat on the left, and the bird leaned on his shoulder like a man. His smile was sweet, but one of his little hands was eyeing him and kept pinching his ribs. On the right, Lu Ji was a little better, and she was sitting in a dangerous position, even leaning slightly towards the other end and the window. But her existence made Cao Hongjie feel like she was facing a great enemy.

Generally, even if the trusted generals go out to take office or go to war, their families have to stay in the capital as a charity, but there is no way to get to Wang Hou. Cao Hongjie is his daughter of General Cao. Even if Wang Hou rebelled, he can't cut off his daughter! And according to the three tribes of Yi, he still has to cut off himself.

Anyway, my daughter could not betray him, and she could still keep an eye on him as a lazy person, so Cao Cao simply sent Cao Hongjie to follow him.

But Wang Hou was a little confused about this Lu Ji. When they met for the first time, the relationship between the two was definitely not good. She was very good at fighting and was definitely treating herself as an enemy and beating her to death. But when she came back, she seemed to be a little better. She actually accepted Cao Cao's adoption as a real enemy who killed her father. And told Wang Fu that when she was in a downturn, she also showed up to entertain guests.

Especially this time, Wang Hou sacrificed his life to force Cao Hongjie, and gave her gold before leaving, but Lu Ji still didn't leave. You must know that if Wang Hou really died in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she would also have to follow him and behead him in the crossroads! Moreover, this time she followed her in a trip to Dongjun.

Did this girl suddenly discover her inner beauty? Or did she fall in love with her "handsome face" like Daniel Wu in the late Han Dynasty?

With a creak, Cao Hongjie twisted his little hand, and Wang Hou quickly turned his head that was slightly tilted back. On that old face, he forced a smile that was even worse than crying.

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

Fortunately, Dongjun is not too far away, with a total of more than 260 kilometers. Even if Wang Hou brought a lot of luggage, a large team of thousands of people would arrive in five days.

"Lord, Puyang is here!"

Zhao Yun's words made Wang Hou, who was suffering from ice and fire, feel like he had arrived for 49 years. The carriage did not stop. Wang Hou, like a cannonball, rushed out of the carriage first and broke free from Cao Hongjie's claws. He stood on the shaft of the carriage from the bottom of the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief, shaking his head in admiration.

"What a beautiful scenery! What a beautiful scenery..., well..."

The feeling of emotion was not over, but the relaxed smile on Wang Hou's face froze there, and then the smile disappeared from his face little by little.

Living in Xudu gives Wang Hou the feeling that he lives in a later county. When he goes out to record the land and population in various places, he goes to the countryside. When he comes to Puyang as a high-ranking official in the Han Dynasty, Wang Hou is already mentally prepared to go to the countryside to work, but this scene in front of him breaks his low psychological expectations. This is not a village, is this a ruin?

The city wall was burned and the city of Xia Pi, which had just experienced a destructive war, was filled with canine teeth, falling from east to west. If Wang Hou was an attacker, he would have to laugh at such a city wall, but the scene in front of him really made him unable to be happy.

“Have you arrived at the place?”

Following Wang Hou, Cao Hongjie also ran out in great enthusiasm, but looking at the expression on his face, the excitement on her little face also subsided, and she reached out and took Wang Hou's arm again.

He was in a state of urgency and sent people to the city to say hello to the former prefect of Dongjun and the Zhenbei Prefect Liu Yan. On the other hand, Wang Hou simply sat obliquely on the shaft of the carriage, and as the carriage swayed, he went to examine the prefecture-level urban area under his rule with his own eyes.

However, the situation in the city is not much better than outside the city. The originally dense houses were burned and charred, collapsed to the ground, the streets were covered with rocks and garbage, and even under the collapsed walls, you can occasionally see rotten corpses and dead bones.

Just four years ago, Chenliu Prefect Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chen Liu, joined forces with the Yanzhou Chief Chen Gong to launch a rebellion, leading Lu Bu into Yanzhou. Lu Bu's army advanced eastward. First, he attacked Zhencheng in Dongjun for 26 days and was defeated by Cao Cao, who was leading the army from Xuzhou. In Puyang, both sides formed a formation and fought fiercely for 107 days. During this period, Cao Cao also once made a fool of himself to enter the city for the Tian family in the city. Both sides set fire to the city. Cao Cao was defeated, and the fierce street fighting was invincible to the city.

After the war, this important town in Huangbei was originally densely populated and the prosperity of industry and commerce was in front of me. After Cao Cao entered the city, he carried out a retaliatory massacre of the big surname in Puyang, which led to the miserable situation in Puyang's household registration and was lonely.

In four years, Puyang not only did not revive slightly, but was a little more declining than after the war just ended. Wang Hou had not seen many people in a carriage from the south gate to the prefect's mansion.

After receiving the news, a welcome team was prepared on the prefect's house. More than 200 cavalrymen were marching in gongs, drums, drums, and armor. At the front of the team was Liu Yan, the prefect of Dongjun.

It seems that this position is really hard to get involved. Before leaving, Wang Hou inquired that Liu Yan was about in his early forties, but when he met, he said he was sixty, and someone probably believed that although his official robes were neatly tidy, his hair and beard were mixed with grayish white, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and his wrinkles on his face were as thick as the Loess Plateau. When he saw Wang Hou, he turned over and dismounted, held his fists and bowed with great enthusiasm.

"Greetings to the Prince's Mansion!"

"I dare not! Liu Fujun is polite!"

Wang Hou was not very happy when he was called from the imperial official to the Duke. Instead, he dared to jump out of the carriage and bowed back with his fists.

He was so happy to see Wang Hou, and he was finally able to escape from this fire pit. After the salute, the Grand Shou Liu, who was born in the royal family, took Wang Hou's hand affectionately and walked into the mansion, saying as he walked: "Wangfu is here, Liu is really overjoyed and has prepared a banquet in the mansion. Wangfu must not postpone it!"

The welcome and sending off in the officialdom is inevitable. Although he is uneasy, Wang Hou still smiled and folded his fists to thank him, and followed Liu Yan into the mansion.

The Dongjun was so abolished. The officials actually had no oil and water. They ate raw wheat rice at noon, and the dishes were only a few soups and three or four meat dishes, but the rice was not cheap, because as soon as they finished eating, Liu Yan started to cheat his father.

A large seal of the prefect, a military talisman, and a few keys slapped the table. He bowed carelessly again: "According to the Prime Minister's order, hand over the seal of the Dongjun talisman and the Prince's Mansion, and I will be at peace in the local area. Liu said goodbye!"

"Hey! Liu Fujun! Wang has just arrived in the noble place, so I hope Liu Fujun will give me some advice!"

Even if you quit your job, you have to hand over the old employee for three days! You always pat your butt and leave. How can I play with these two eyes!

Who knew that Wang Hou had chased him to the door miserably, but Liu Yan laughed and bowed.

"The king's mansion is too worried. There is nothing to hand over. The grain is in the warehouse and the soldiers are in the camp. There are some pickled trivial matters left. The king's mansion doesn't have to pay attention to it. Liu said goodbye!"

As he said that, he turned over and patted his butt and left, leaving Wang Hou in the yard with his claws sadly. After a while, he saw him running out of the mansion and running away. Then Wang Hou retracted his hand speechlessly, turned back to the yard and shouted loudly.

"Hong Festival, help! We have to settle the score again!"

…………

Lu Ji was right. In the afternoon, Wang Hou pulled Cao Hongjie, who was reluctant to do so, and there were twenty boy soldiers who were proficient in arithmetic. However, more than 500 personal soldiers and more than 500 tenants were carelessly left outside the mansion by him. But when the accounts were roughly settled in the evening, Zhao Yun and Wang Congge had already brought their personal troops into the small military camps on both sides of the prefect's mansion in an orderly manner. The servants and tenants also brought Wang Hou's belongings, cloths, furniture and other orderly transported the houses, cloths, and furniture to the mansion. The servants in each yard were cleaning the room with cleaners.

After coming out of the account room, looking at Lu Ji, who was standing in the front hall with a strong housewife and directing his servants, Wang Hou breathed a sigh of relief with relief, but Cao Hongjie curled his lips sourly.

Fortunately, Lu Ji cooked dinner in time. Although there were no good dishes, the dried vegetables, pickled radish, etc. that Liu Yan left behind, a broth and a pot of corn soup, were delivered to Wang Hou's study, but some of them were better than eating them without.

After all, it was Lu Ji who arranged it. Wang Hou was embarrassed to squeeze her out and asked Lan'er to call her over. There was a dining table in all directions. Wang Hou and two beautiful girls staring at each other, and the whole family was neatly arranged.

But with the bowl in hand, Wang Hou still had no appetite at all.

Liu Yan really didn't lie to him. The food was in the granary and the soldiers were in the military camp. The soldiers were neatly booked. There were 8,000 soldiers from the county and state in Puyang. In addition, Yu Jin led 3,000 troops in Yanjin. There were another thousand troops stationed in Baima City. There were still a lot of food left, about 100,000 stones, but! There was only this thing left in Dongjun!

The bamboo slips in the prefect's account were all deep in the gray area. The last time the land tax record was six years old in Zhongping, which was ten years ago. I didn't know how to collect taxes in the past ten years and what method to collect taxes. After the confused Wang Hou had no choice but to take Liu Yan away, the remaining military marquis, Solupin, who had the greatest official position, called him to find out the tax revenue, but the guy's words made him vomit blood.

"What taxes? When there is no military ration, Grandpa Liu will take everyone from house to house to ask for it, and if you don't give it, you will rob it!"

Is this a fucking officer or a soldier?

Tag!

The crisp sound suddenly sounded, and two pairs of chopsticks reached into his bowl together. One picked up a piece of meat and the other picked up an egg. Cao Hongjie and Lu Ji, who hit the chopsticks, were obviously stunned. The next second, the two girls were right again, and the current was stirring in their eyes...

It's so hard for me!!!

Wang Hou slapped his forehead again.
Chapter completed!
