Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 113



Chapter 113
How did Fang Jun know about his father's thoughts?
Under the feudal etiquette, the blood of the clan is the largest, and the uncle is critically ill, so someone must go back to visit.What's more, the father's letter clearly stated that if he can make it in time, he will visit him, and if he can't make it in time, he will go to mourning...

This was a top priority, and Fang Jun couldn't let Fang Jun shirk.

Could it be possible to let father go this trip himself?This is not the 21st century, when you get on the plane and arrive in a "swish", even the high-speed rail will take less than a few hours.Chang'an is no less than a thousand miles away from Qizhou, and the Yellow River is frozen, so you have to ride a horse and a car, and you have to kill your father?

Even if Fang Jun is young and strong, going all the way to the east, it will take more than half a month to fight back and forth, and it will take nearly half a month to return.

At the moment, I had to entrust Fang Quan, Fang Sihai, Lu Cheng and others with all the chores one by one, and ask Uncle Cen Wen, Li Siwen and others to take care of them, pack up and salute, and bring a few servants and family members, and set off immediately.

When she was leaving, Wu Meiniang had red eyes, and she told me to be careful on the road. Don't miss the place to stay because you are in a hurry, and the snowy road is slippery. , safety is the most important thing.

The little girl Qiao'er was also very worried.

Although Wu Meiniang's status has declined significantly since she entered the mansion, and Wu Meiniang has taken over the services of many close relatives, the little maid's closeness to Fang Jun has not weakened in the slightest.

Fang Jun's heart is warm, the long journey is imminent, but some people are worried about him, and finally it is not in vain!Hearing that, he comforted the two girls, so he took the servants to the road, and took advantage of the clear weather to rush on the road, and strive to go early and return early.

Wu Meiniang stood at the gate of the farm in a daze, the sound of the horse's hooves gradually faded away, leaving only the vague northern shadow...

Saw it.

********
This time, Fang Jun did not take the frozen Weishui River, but passed the surface of the Guangtong Canal, crossed Tongguan, and galloped down the post road along the Yellow River.

Anyone who has not been in the Tang Dynasty can never imagine how developed the post road in this era is.

During this period, there were a lot of official documents sent from the central government to various places and delivered to the central government from various places.

According to historical records, there are 50 pieces of statistical materials sent to the central government by the states alone every year.According to calculations, in the Tang Dynasty with well-developed post road transportation, once the central government's decree was issued, it could be implemented nationwide within two months.The development of post roads in the Tang Dynasty promoted the development of feudal society and economy to a certain extent, and consolidated the centralized state power of the Communist Party.

There has been a prosperous scene of "one post goes over one post, the post and ride are like a stream of stars".

"A concubine of Hongchen is laughing, no one knows that it is lychee." It was definitely not a joke.

When Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Yang Guifei liked to eat fresh lychees, in order to win the smile of beauties, Tang Xuanzong sent a special person to transport lychees from Fuzhou, Sichuan to Chang'an every year.From Fuzhou to Chang'an, it is thousands of miles away, and it is transported by fast horses on the post road. According to the "New Book of Tang": "After thousands of miles, the taste has not changed, and it has reached the capital." This matter has been criticized by later generations. As a negative example of the extravagance of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, however, the lychees did not change their taste after being transported thousands of miles away to Chang'an.

The post road in the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the previous Sui Dynasty, and continued to expand from the original foundation in the period of His Majesty Li Er, forming a post road in the northwest from Chang'an to the Western Regions, a post road from Chang'an to the southwest, a post road from Chang'an to Lingnan, The post road from Chang'an to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, the post road from Chang'an to the northern grassland area, and two post roads from Chang'an to Shandong, northeast and southwest areas such as Jingzhou, Kuizhou, Zhongzhou, etc., a total of seven radial post roads, radiating the whole country .

There are many pedestrians on the post road, the cars are crushed by the horses, the ice and snow are digested faster, and the road conditions are actually good.

Fang Jun brought his servants, and a group of ten people were two horses.

The largest station in the Tang Dynasty was called Duting Station, where the capital of the country was located.The land stations of each road are divided into six classes: the first class has 25 people, the second class has 20 people, the third class and below are in decreasing order, and the last first class and the sixth class have 15 to 2 people.

The emperor's attention to the post road and the prosperity of the post road business can be seen from these figures.

Luoyang is known as the Eastern Capital, and its status is second only to Chang'an. The scale of Linquanyi is not small.

A row of houses was built in the mountains and forests beside the road, with five doors wide and many courtyards.

The snow in front of the door was swept clean, revealing a flat bluestone slab.A courier from a long distance saw a group of knights galloping, so they waited on the side of the road, waiting for Fang Jun and others to arrive, and then went to meet them.

Fang Jun rolled over and dismounted. His legs were weak after riding for a long time, and he almost stumbled and fell. Fortunately, the courier was quick in his eyes and reached out to support him.

"This gentleman, please slow down, the road is slippery in the cold weather, it would be better for someone to fall."

Fang Jun took a breath and took out his father's seal officer certificate from his arms and threw it to the courier.

The courier hurriedly took it, took a brief look, and hurriedly returned it to Fang Jun with the seal officer in both hands, and said respectfully, "It turned out to be the son of Fang Xiang, who is a young man with eyes but no pearls. Forgive your sins."

Fang Jun smiled and said: "What's the sin? And prepare the first-class food and drink, and then change a batch of horses, and prepare hot water to warm the bed." He turned around and said to a servant, "Reward!"

The servant responded, took out a small piece of silver from his robe, and gave it to the postman.

The Tang Dynasty lacked silver, so copper coins were the currency in circulation. Precious metals such as gold and silver were mostly made into utensils by wealthy people, used or collected, and rarely circulated in the market, so they were expensive.

This small piece of silver is half a tael, but the value is definitely far more than half a piece of copper coins. When did the courier see such a bold person?
Immediately, his eyes widened and he said in a chorus of voices, "Don't worry, my lord, I'll prepare for the little ones, and keep the lord satisfied..."

As he spoke, he ran into the inn in a hurry and went to Zhang Luo to prepare.

Fang Jun stretched his waist and moved his body, which was about to fall apart on horseback. He was about to enter the station when he heard someone beside him with a yin and yang peculiarly saying: "The station is an instrument of the state, but it is forced to be used by you and other scoundrels, but instead It's absurd to bow your eyebrows and bend your waist in a low voice!"

There is sourness in the words...

A servant of the Fang family immediately said angrily: "Who dares to speak madly and slander my family Erlang?"

Fang Jun stopped the servant, turned around in surprise, and saw a big man walking out of the side room of the station.

This man was in his thirties, with a square face, closed eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose and a square body, but that square face was full of disdain at this time.

He was wearing a worn-out official uniform, with patches on top of each other, and the cuffs were full of traces of oil stains. Even the quick boots on his feet looked like the open mouth of a carp four... Judging from the style and color, it should be from the eighth grade. Guaner, perhaps a county lieutenant or a divisional officer joins the army and the like.

A downright but upright official, Fang Jun thought to himself.

Fang Jun has always had no good feelings for this kind of person.

When dealing with people, pay attention to an outer circle and an inner square. There are grooves in your heart, but you don't have to hang it on your face or put it in your mouth.For an official, the important thing is whether you have completed your own tasks, rather than pretending to be arrogant and cynical.

Like this, if you don't know each other, you open your mouth and spray, you can only say that there is a lack of roots in your brain, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a good official or not.

Wearing the old official uniform must be a clean official?

Even if he is an honest official, he must be a good official who loves his people like his son?
Taking a step back, even if he is a good official, he must be a competent official?

not necessarily……

In particular, Fang Jun was extremely disdainful of the practice of kidnapping others from the commanding heights of morality.

Immediately, he said: "Someone has a good father, my father is a high official, what are you doing? Bit me? It's stupid..."

Saying that, without looking at the official, he swaggered into the inn.

The house servant behind him is in such a good mood, and it's great to be with Erlang!
What I said, I have a big official father, don't you agree?If you don't agree, find one...

Look at this guy's face, I'm afraid he will be suffocated to death, right?

The servants swept away Lawton, and followed the Fang family into the inn jokingly.

The only remaining official was almost smoked by Fang Jun's words.

How can you take such shameless words for granted?

Is it a glorious thing for a man to be a big man to rely on his father to make a fortune?
Simply shameless!
The official flicked his robe sleeves angrily, turned around and entered the main hall of the station.

 There is no promotion, the collection and recommendation tickets are rising very slowly...

Brothers who haven't collected it yet, please take it as soon as possible; brothers who have recommended votes, please vote for us, thank you...
