Chapter 0926 Dunhuang(1/3)
Secretary Zhang and Governor Feng briefly discussed the countermeasures, then patted their butts and continued running to grab toys from Feng Shuangshuang.
Today is a holiday, no one can ask me to work overtime!
Even if Feng has no conscience!
Anyway, as one of the few rich women in the Han Dynasty, the Zhang family's young lady did not look down on the salary of the Liangzhou Governor's Office.
Of course, there are reasons why Secretary Zhang is so lazy.
After all, not only Liangzhou, but even Dahan now has a sense of peace and quiet.
Feng Jishi is in charge of Liangzhou, and the secretariat has already formulated the general direction of Liangzhou's governance.
The first is to vigorously develop animal husbandry by taking advantage of Liangzhou’s unique geographical environment and the breeding technology accumulated over the years.
The second is to make use of Liangzhou's prolific cattle and horses, combined with the eight-oxen plow and curved shaft plow, to vigorously develop farming, and strive to achieve food self-sufficiency in the third year of recovering Liangzhou, that is, next year.
Sima Laogui wants to compare the effects of farming in Guanzhong and Longyou, Liangzhou, but that is just a dream.
The third is to continue to vigorously promote the examination system.
This year is the second year that Liangzhou has implemented the examination system.
Whether they are scholars recommended by wealthy families or students who spontaneously come to take exams, in the past year, talents with certain abilities have been initially screened out.
This group of scholars who participated in the examinations paved the way for those who came after them, helped the Liangzhou Governor's Office accumulate experience, and improved the examination system.
Even the flower wands set off southward after the snow melted.
She planned to go to the south personally to get more seeds that Governor Feng wanted.
Everything is being done in an orderly manner.
Governor Feng, who thought he would be stable for a year, did not expect that someone would soon break his illusion.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Urgent report from Dunhuang!”
In the silent night, the voice of the female guard outside the door seemed particularly loud.
Feng Jishi, who was hugging his two beautiful concubines on the left and right, had just closed his eyes and was not completely asleep yet.
He heard the sounds outside in confusion, and opened his eyes tiredly.
The body that was about to enter sleep state was suddenly awakened, which made Feng Jishi feel a little uncomfortable like pinpricks.
"What's up?"
Feng Yong grunted.
“Mr. Sir, there is news from outside that there is urgent news.”
Amei woke up the fastest, put on her clothes, and sat down to light a lamp.
Li Mu obviously does not have as good physical strength as Amei. She is still in a daze and has not fully woken up.
Under Amei's repeated urging, Li Mu, who was stunned for a while, then hurriedly helped Feng Jishi put on his clothes.
"You go to bed first, don't wait for me."
Feng Jishi yawned before going out and gave instructions to his two concubines.
After leaving the room, being blown by the night wind, Feng Jishi finally came to his senses:
"What happened?"
“Someone from the Zhang family in Dunhuang came and said they had something urgent to do and wanted to see the prince.”
“Zhang family?”
Feng Yong’s eyes narrowed slightly:
"Walk."
Led by his personal guards, Feng Yong came to the living room in the front yard. People from the Zhang family immediately saluted and said:
“I’ve seen the king.”
“Get up! Tell me quickly, what happened?”
"Back to the king, the master of the family suddenly became critically ill yesterday, so he sent a special person to report the news..."
“Zhang Gong is critically ill?!”
Although he had already made some assumptions in his mind, Feng Yong's expression changed when he heard this.
Dunhuang is the western gate of Liangzhou and the only gateway to the Western Regions.
The Zhang family was an important ally in helping Feng Yong maintain the stability of Dunhuang.
More importantly, Zhang Gong was extremely prestigious in the Western Regions. Without Zhang Gong, no one knows what kind of impact it would have on Zhang Jiu who was on an envoy to the Western Regions.
“Have you notified General Zhang?”
The so-called General Zhang, Zhang Gong’s younger brother Zhang Hua, is currently serving in the cavalry army of Liangzhou Governor’s Office.
“I have already notified you when I return to you.”
The visitor said respectfully.
"That's good." Feng Yong nodded, "I will leave for Dunhuang immediately tomorrow."
Seeing the tired look on the other party's face, Feng Yong knew that he had traveled day and night.
It is precisely because of this that it further illustrates that Zhang Gong's current physical condition is probably not good.
It seems that due to an emergency, sleep is impossible.
Feng Yong arranged for the guests to rest, and then went directly to General Guan.
As soon as he entered the door, Guan Ji, who had received the news, had already come out of the inner room wearing clothes.
Then he and Feng Yong went to the next door room together, and then asked:
“Alang came over late at night, but what happened?”
“I’m going to Dunhuang tomorrow.”
Feng Yong told the story again.
If the Li family in Longxi is a typical family supported by the Han Dynasty, then the Zhang family in Dunhuang is a typical family in Liangzhou.
Let all the aristocratic families, both inside and outside the Han Dynasty, have a clear idea of the path they should take in the future.
Whether it was to respect Zhang Gong in private or to show that he valued the Zhang family, Feng Yong had to go there as soon as possible.
Of course Guan Ji understands the importance of the Zhang family.
Just about Feng Yong’s decision, she asked with a little hesitation:
“Would you like to talk to Uncle Liao and Siniang tomorrow?”
"No need. Wuwei Official Road leads directly to Dunhuang, and it's not too far away. If you have any questions, you can contact us in time."
“Then let Si Niang come over now.”
Guan Ji said decisively.
Liao Hua is an elder, so it is not easy to disturb him at night, but now that everyone in the house is awake, there is no reason to let Zhang Xiaosi fall asleep.
Zhang Xingyi was quickly rushed over, with disheveled hair and sleepy eyes. He even yawned when he sat down:
“Sister, it’s so late, why did you call me over?”
"What does it look like!" Guan Ji saw her look like this and first scolded her, "You are being looked at and you are not laughing at her?"
“It’s so late and it’s in the inner courtyard. Who can see it?”
Just when someone woke him up while he was sleeping soundly, Zhang Xiaosi felt as if his bones had been knocked out.
"There is an emergency in Dunhuang. Your brother-in-law has to rush there tomorrow."
"Dunhuang?" Zhang Xingyi finally raised his head and was stunned for a moment, "Zhang family? Or is there any news from the Western Regions?"
“If you don’t think you are busy, you are indeed the Zhang family.”
Guan Ji explained, "Zhang Gong's family member Zhang Gong is critically ill. Dunhuang sent people over overnight. Your brother-in-law decided to rush there tomorrow."
After Zhang Xingyi heard it, he subconsciously put his fingers in his mouth and chewed it.
Feng Yonghao could not tell Guan Ji about her bad habits in person.
He knocked on the table and said, "Just to inform you that I'm not here, it's still the same as before. Besides, Dunhuang is not far away..."
This is a bit shameful.
Because from east to west, Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang are like a gourd.
Although it is convenient to travel between the two places, the distance between the two places is two thousand miles. This is not far, so what is far?
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xingyi did not respond to Feng Jishi's nonsense, and suddenly made an unexpected suggestion:
“Let Liu Hun lead the fine cavalry and accompany my brother-in-law.”
Feng Yong and Guan Ji looked at each other.
