Chapter 96 Taking office in Qinzhou(2/2)
Sheng Changbai will take office before he can see Sheng Changfeng take the provincial examination again.
"Husband, when you arrive in Qinzhou, you have to take good care of yourself. When the child is older, I will go to work with you." Hai Chaoyun said reluctantly.
Because the two people get along harmoniously, they are actually quite affectionate.
"I can take care of myself by myself, but it will be harder for you in Bianliang. It is not easy to take care of a large family."
Sheng Changbai also entrusted his entire family to Hai Chaoyun.
After all, the old lady was old. After Minglan got married, the old lady began to lose interest in family affairs.
Normally, old ladies don't get involved in family affairs.
Therefore, in Sheng Changbai's opinion, the most sober person in the family is Hai Chaoyun.
Now Hai Chaoyun is helping Wang Ruofu take care of things at home.
Although Hai Chaoyun would definitely not be able to control these elders in his family.
But it is enough to stop a few people when they are not clear-headed and confused.
"Bai'er, Qinzhou is no better than Yangzhou and Xuzhou where you lived before. This place is an important border town, with foreign countries and many foreign races. You still have to be careful when you arrive." Sheng Hong also warned carefully.
"This is the place I chose, so I naturally don't have to."
Although Sheng Changbai returned to Bianliang from Xuzhou, he was promoted twice more.
But this time, outsiders were left in charge, and the person in charge was still the general judge.
With Sheng Changbai's rank and qualifications, he would be qualified to serve as prefect if he chose an ordinary state capital.
However, considering that ordinary magistrates are far inferior to Qinzhou, an important border town and the front line of Xixia, Tongpan can do more.
Sheng Changbai still chose to serve as Qinzhou's second-in-command.
Young Jinshi can usually take advantage of a lot.
At any time, both the emperor and the important officials in the court valued Sheng Changbai.
But when it came time to take on the important responsibilities of the frontier and want to serve as the border magistrate.
Sheng Changbai has suffered the consequences of his age to some extent.
If Sheng Changbai was a Jinshi in his thirties, he would have been in the officialdom for seven or eight years.
No one would think that Sheng Changbai was unworthy of being the magistrate of an important border town.
"Changbai, when you arrive, write a letter home. Why do you bother to do this..."
Wang Ruofu, like other people who were bidding farewell to their relatives in the northwest, wiped away tears.
The northwest is on the front line and has always been much more dangerous than other places.
"Okay, you guys go back, I'm leaving now."
This time Sheng Changbai went out and couldn't take a boat. This time he could only ride a horse.
Liu Tao, Xu San, and other people who were favored by Sheng Changbai also rode horses.
The rest of the people could only travel on foot, in combination with horse-drawn carriages and mule-drawn carriages.
This time, the people I took with me when I went out also had many servants to serve me.
Those things that I brought with me when I went out, including the cook, the helper, and the little maid, have all been cancelled.
I only brought four female envoys as necessary, indispensable, and trustworthy people who could serve me personally.
The main person brought out this time was the "young man" from Zhuanghu who had practiced martial arts with Sheng Changbai.
The original teenagers are now young people in their twenties. It is time to work hard and make contributions.
The most important reason why Sheng Changbai trained these people in the first place was to use them at this time.
The only ones left were the soldiers who escorted Sheng Changbai to his post.
After reducing the number of people traveling, there were actually a team of hundreds of people.
Although there is no convenient waterway, due to the situation in the northwest, it is uncertain when Bianliang will send troops to help.
Therefore, the official road from Bianliang to the northwest is well maintained.
Traveling during the day and staying at a post station at night, after walking for a week, Sheng Changbai also arrived at Tongguan.
After leaving Tongguan, even when we reach the northwest boundary, the terrain is determined.
After arriving here, even the official road is not that easy.
After passing Tongguan, he passed through Xi'an again, where Sheng Changbai stayed for a day.
After thinking about it for a moment, I realized that the prosperity of this former capital actually went through a long period of chaos for nearly a hundred years.
Xi'an, a country of the former dynasty, can no longer see much of the glory of the previous dynasty.
Then Sheng Changbai went to Yanzhou, which was later known as Yan'an.
We have actually reached the border of Dazhou here.
But there is still quite a distance from Qinzhou, which was probably located in Tianshui, Gansu Province in later generations.
Drawing an irregular arc from Yanzhou to Qinzhou is now the northwest border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
After leaving Tongguan, Sheng Changbai walked for ten days.
Although Sheng Changbai was not in a hurry, it took him twenty days to reach Qinzhou.
This is enough to show how difficult it was to travel in this era without waterways.
Qinzhou is located on an important transportation road. If it goes to war with Xixia, it has an absolute strategic position. It is an absolute important town in the northwest and an absolute military power.
Needless to say, the military is much stronger than other state capitals, and the economy of Qinzhou is not weak either.
Sheng Changbai wanted to come to Qinzhou because he valued Qinzhou's military.
Qinzhou's economy is also an important aspect, the reason why Qinzhou and Tubo are close to each other.
