The next day, the wind was sunny and Chen Zhi was in a low dress in the city again, but this time it was not so smooth. He was halfway through the tour, and he met the aristocratic family of Dai County and recognized him.

Suddenly, there was a burst of onlookers and greetings. Seeing this, Chen Zhi simply did not hide it, removed his disguise, and started talking to everyone.

Because most of the people gathered in the city were those who were studying, they could not help but talk about the meaning of the scriptures later. Chen Zhi published another opinion, solved the doubts with others, and finally encouraged him.

After this round of struggle, the sun was already setting, and then I bid farewell to everyone.

When he returned home, he suddenly received news that someone from the Chen family in Pengcheng came again, and Chen Luo, the one who took the lead, was the one who had a good relationship with him.

Speaking of Chen Luo, he also had some trouble. He had already arrived in Dai County as his father's order, but due to war, he was sent out by Chen Zhi to contact him. Later, he received a series of news and simply stayed outside and finally returned to Pengcheng. He came to Dai County several times and ran around.

When I came back this time, Chen Zhi saw that he had lost a lot of weight from a distance.

"Brother Seven, Oh, Brother Seven, I finally saw you." Chen Luo immediately fell from the carriage when he saw Chen Zhi and trotted all the way. "I came this time, and I have been taking care of people along the way, but Jizhou is really dangerous. If it weren't for the Wu Ding you sent, I'm afraid that our convoy would fall among the refugees, then I would be the great sinner of our Chen family."

Chen Zhi was about to ask why he was so guilty, he saw the figure who was staggering and dismounted from the horse in the distance, and the already bulging abdomen, in a distance.

The next moment, a strange connection came from the woman's belly, causing Chen Zhi's heart to throbbing, as if the heartstrings were being plucked by a white and tender little hand.

Chen Luo smiled and said, "This time, I heard that the soldiers in the north disappeared at home, so I asked me to escort my sister-in-law over. Although there were twists and turns, fortunately, I was safe. Now my sister-in-law has been sent here. Our eighth brother has to enjoy it. I heard that you have already represented the acting county in Seventh Brother, and everyone in the upper and lower levels are convinced. Then I have to take a good look here!"

Chen Zhi had no intention of listening to this person's talk, but he took a step forward to meet him. On the opposite side, Yang You's plump face had a surprise smile.

That night, news of the arrival of the county magistrate's wife spread throughout the streets and alleys. At that time, it was a mess. But the next day, all the major families took action, making it very lively.

In the following days, Dai County also spent the chaos. First, the Tangjia Kiln was opened and calcined. Then the mine was erected and mined was already out. Then, the paper mills expanded production and several distributed it.

In this chaos, Duan Piyun of the Duan Xianbei was lifted out of house arrest, Yu Liang and Zhang Yang were sent back and other news, like water droplets in the river, seemed inconspicuous, but they still could not escape the attention of new people, especially Zhang Jingsheng and others, who sent letters to their homes.

So, Daijun gradually got on the right track in this lively atmosphere, but the undercurrents below it became more and more violent.

Time flies, autumn goes by and winter comes, and experiences the severe cold of the three nines and spring comes back. The land of Daijun ushers in the arrival of the New Year in the appearance of peace.

The spring of the second year of Pingxing seemed to be no different from previous years, but for the people in the north, too many things happened. At the same time, after half a year of renovation and brewing, all forces gradually emitted a smell of smoke from gunpowder.

"Empress, after passing the stream ahead, we will enter the territory of Dai County. By then, we will be at peace. No matter those Jie people or refugees, we will not dare to step into Dai County!"

On the rugged land, a cavalry team moved forward slowly. The leader was an old herder in a coarse cloth clothes. He carried a long bow on his back, a long sword hanging around his waist, wide shoulders and strong body, and looked like Kong Wu was powerful, but when he spoke, he tried to lower his voice and spoke to someone beside him.

This man also rode a horse. Although he was armored, he still revealed a sense of elegance, especially because he did not wear a helmet, but had a crown, long beard hanging down his chest, and moved with the wind.

Listening to the herdsman's introduction, the man asked with a smile: "We have come all the way, but on the land led by Zu Jiyin, we can see the refugees being inferior and the Jie people avoid it. Even so, the Zujun's elite soldiers must suppress and patrol to shock the bandits. Whenever the soldiers pass by, they often become cute again. Why do these bandits become honest when they arrive in Dai County?"

The old herdsman said, "I don't know what you are. It's still the hard-working Chen Dai County. More than half a year ago, he has published many books in Dai County, which has attracted the scholars from the North to spread their reputations. This..."

As he was still talking, he saw the elegant and long bearded man shook his head and said, "The book of carved papers is actually a clever thing. It is made by this method. It is often defilement, misunderstanding, and heavy shadows. Although it is famous in the north, it is really insignificant. Just explain what Chen Zhi did and don't have to praise him."

When the old herder heard this, he quickly nodded and said, then looked at the person in front of him with a look of fear.

Although he lives in a corner, he is actually a court eyewitness. He is actually well-informed and seems rough, but he is actually meticulous. Otherwise, he would not have chosen him as a guide this time.

This old herder knew that the envoy named Huan Yi in front of him is now a popular man in front of King Jiangdu. Otherwise, in just over a year, he would not have been almost white, relying on the favor of the king and the reputation and connections he had accumulated, and he became the seventh-rank third cavalry commander.

In a year, he was the seventh rank and the cavalry commander, although the King of Jiangdu asked him for it and could not really accompany the emperor, many orders issued by the central government could directly let Huan Yi take action.

The person is in the position of the governor of the Jiangdu King, but he is also a real power position. Moreover, this person is quite hard-working. The old herder knew that the chief clerk of Gongcao had just obtained a son this year, named Huan Wen, but he didn't care at all. After receiving the order, he immediately took people on an envoy and came to Dai County!

Such a person, the old herder dared not offend him. He quickly changed his tone and said, "Under the command of Chenfujun in that Dai County, there were 12,000 Wu Dings, all of whom were private soldiers, and the seven Xianbei tribes surrendered. They were called the Seventh-rank Yisong, who were brave and good at fighting. If Jie people and refugees invaded Dai County and were surrounded by Wu Ding or the Seventh-rank Yisong, they would never have a good harvest! Either half died, they were arrested, thrown into the mine, and worked hard! Life was worse than death!"

"Oh?" Huan Yi narrowed his eyes, "Wu Ding 12,000 people? Didn't he say there were only eight thousand? And the seventh grade meaning is due to the reason? Why is it named after the seventh grade?"

The old herdsman was prepared and said, "The Eight Thousand Wu Dings are just known to the public. In a few months, the Chen family recruited many rural warriors and placed them in the countryside to guard the countryside, and sometimes changed their defenses. The camps in the Dai County and Dangcheng each maintained four thousand Wu Dings, which seemed to be only eight thousand, but in fact there were four thousand, scattered everywhere." As he said that, he was still observing Huan Yi's expression.

When Huan Yi heard this, he remained silent. He nodded and continued to ask, "What about the name of the seventh grade of righteousness?"

"But after the seven tribes surrendered last year, two leaders of the two tribes had their own thoughts and wanted to rebel again. Unexpectedly, Chen's family was as expected and had arranged people. When the people there moved, they were captured. The nineteen main culprits were taken to Dai County that night. The next day, they were executed in public and beheaded. Then Chen's family was angry that the Xianbei spoke without trust and surrendered and rebelled again. In a rage, they directly surrounded the seven tribes. Finally, according to their distance, the seventh rank was re-divided. The first rank was the highest, and they could enjoy the treatment of people from Central China, while the seventh rank was the lowest, which was actually composed of many mine slaves."

"There is such a thing? There is no news from these princes." Huan Yi frowned, savoring the name of the seventh grade, but he felt something was wrong. "If you say there are still mine slaves in this division, is it the coal mine encircled by Chen Zhi in Dai County?"

The old herdsman said, "Not only that, I heard that Daojun under Chen Fujun found another mine on the banks of the Sanggan River."

"Another mine? On the banks of the Sanggan River?" Huan Yi's heart moved, "Is it still a coal mine?"

The old herder shook his head and said, "This little old man doesn't know it, but he heard that it doesn't seem like a coal mine. By the way, even the mines in that Dai County didn't only produce coal, it seems that they also produce iron!"

"Is it out?" Huan Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but he immediately calmed down. He nodded and said, "Okay, you lead the way first, let's go to Dai County first."

The old herder suddenly stopped talking and led the way ahead.

In fact, Dai County and Jizhou also have official roads connected, but because of the age and chaos, the situation has long been ruined, and there is a place occupied by refugees in the middle. If no one leads the way and hits it head-on, even a team of elite soldiers will be unable to match four hands with two fists.

With the guidance of this old herder, the group could bypass many dangerous places, and now it is the last time, because according to his words, as long as he enters Dai County, it will be safe.

This person led the way, and Huan Yi and more than a dozen cavalry followed behind. Huan Yi was thinking about this mission.

"The imperial edict from the court has arrived. He wanted to give Chen Zhishi the title of general and allow him to open a government office to build a house. However, the prince's intention was to borrow troops from this. He fought with Shi Le three months ago. As a result, the prince suffered heavy losses in the army. Now that he wanted to make a comeback, he had to rely on Chen Zhi's army. In addition, Chen Zhi had to give up the single-stop cannon and divide the profits of the mine. All these things had to be done. The main thing was to wait for Wang Jun's cooperation. I think there was internal and external pressure and the prince had great righteousness, so Chen Zhi had no way to refuse..."

He was still thinking about it, and suddenly heard the old herder in front of him cheering: "Here, Dai County has arrived!"

Huan Yi looked over after looking for the voice, his eyes passed through the two big trees, and suddenly became clear. The first thing that caught his eye was a spacious and flat avenue that extended all the way to the end of the distance!
