Chapter 2137 Goodbye Wen Weng
The power of the county guard is extremely high. According to the rules of the Han Dynasty, it is equivalent to the Jiuqing, and the official rank is only slightly lower than the three official positions.
Away from Chang'an City, the county guard is almost like a prince, possessing extremely high independent power.
As long as the basic requirements of the court for taxation can be met, the court has no restrictions on how the areas under the jurisdiction of the county can be autonomous.
Some people stick to the rules, some focus on city defense, some focus on water conservancy, and some seek to mine salt. Many counties and cities have different control methods.
The initiative of Shu County to lead people to enter official schools is not a big issue. The most important issue is how to solve the people's livelihood problems and whether Shu County can meet the court's tax payment after reducing taxes.
Zhenyuan Shenjun was full of puzzlements. Zhang Xuezhou stopped by to visit Wen Weng, and he didn't mind helping Zhenyuan Shenjun solve his doubts.
"Brother Zhang!"
The unfamiliar title made Zhang Xuezhou almost turn his head to look for someone. Only then did Zhang Xuezhou remember a person from his almost forgotten memory.
"You are... Zhang Shu!"
Zhang Xuezhou took Zhenyuan Shenjun to the county governor's mansion, and he also met the local aborigines he had known in the past.
Thanks to the influence of Wanshou Fruit and the Secret of Immortality, Zhang Xuezhou lost several years in age.
He looked a bit like a young man who had taken arowana and other substances.
After not seeing each other for several years, Zhang Shu’s body became a little stronger, and his whole person became a little older.
Zhang Xuezhou almost didn't recognize the other party, but Zhang Shu recognized Zhang Xuezhou very quickly.
"Yes, yes, I am Zhang Shu. I haven't seen Brother Zhang for many years. I didn't expect you to be exactly the same as before," Zhang Shuji said happily.
The positions of Zhang Shu and others are captains. As long as the family survives, they can be passed down. The other party's official position cannot be promoted. These years, they are still accompanying Wen Weng in the governor's mansion. When they have nothing to do, they are Inspect the Sheriff's House.
He was so idle that he also saw Zhang Xuezhou coming to the county governor's house.
“I’m old,” Zhang Xuezhou said modestly and politely: “Where is the Sheriff?”
“My lord is teaching in the Academy, and it is estimated that it will take half an hour before he returns to the Sheriff’s Mansion. Zhang Shudao: "Are you coming from afar this time?"
"Yes!"
"Please come in quickly!"
If you meet any small official or official, no matter what happens, you can only wait outside the gate of the county governor's house, but Zhang The book is very clear about Zhang Xuezhou, and it is even more clear that there is a connection between Zhang Xuezhou, Dong Zhongshu, and Wen Weng County Sheriff.
He has been inspecting the governor's mansion for many years, and he is still not familiar with these personnel matters. He immediately brought Zhang Xuezhou and Zhenyuan Shenjun into the governor's mansion, and then directly into the dining room.
"Brother Zhang has come a long way to take some rest first. He has enough food and drink here. Our Lord Sheriff will be back soon," Zhang Shu said.
"Easy to say!"
Zhang Xuezhou nodded.
Before he could speak, Zhang Shu had already finished half of the matter.
The food in the Sheriff's Mansion is standard. The food is rice, with sunflower seeds, two taro, and a piece of pork as big as a palm. It is almost a full bowl. It is no different from previous years.
“We have come a long way and are hungry. Each of us needs to eat eight out of ten portions to be five full, and we have to trouble Captain Zhang!”
Zhang Xuezhou and Shenjun Zhenyuan sat down and ate simply. Their bowls were already empty.
This made Zhang Shu open his mouth slightly and quickly ran to the kitchen.
"Quick, quick, quick, cook another pot of rice and re-cook the dishes, lest the Sheriff comes back without food!"
Zhang Xuezhou said that it would only be five points for each person to eat ten portions of food. When he was full, Zhang Shu calculated it again, and then asked someone to bring the rice and vegetable dishes from the kitchen directly over.
Except for the number of people in Shujuncheng who are currently literate, they are undoubtedly good at arithmetic.
After a simple calculation, Zhang Shu felt that he had to provide meals for at least forty people in order not to look like he was neglecting guests.
He looked at Zhang Xuezhou and Zhenyuan Shenjun who were eating slowly, and felt that these two people were eating very elegantly, but they were obviously filling bowls of food very quickly.
He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and looked at Zhang Xuezhou and Zhenyuan Shenjun again. "It seems that we are a little ugly when we eat, and we are afraid that we will be regarded as monsters!"
Zhenyuan Shenjun was a little slow to react to worldly matters, while Zhang Xuezhou came to his senses.
He smiled at Zhang Shu and asked again.
"Where is Zhao Liang?"
"Zhao Liang returned to the county two years ago, but he said that he could not use force and was no longer able to take up the military position. He had to go home to do business. At the moment, his cousin Zhao Meng took over. Captain position! "
Monsters can change the appearance of people and behave abnormally, but monsters do not know many things.
Zhang Xuezhou asked about acquaintances and mentioned County Governor Wenweng, as well as Dong Zhongshu in Jiangxia. This calmed down Zhang Shu's suspicious and pounding heart.
"Brother Zhang, what kind of technique is this that allows your stomach to eat so much?" Zhang Shu couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing to say, it's just the Big Grain Technique." Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile: "I haven't eaten or drank for several days, and now I'm just filling in the gaps from the previous few days!"
"Your Big Grain Technique is really good. Not bad!”
When Zhang Xuezhou explained, Zhenyuan Shenjun had to loosen his belt.
Looking at Zhang Xuezhou, whose belly was still flat, Lord Zhenyuan could not help but shake his head.
Zhenyuan Shenjun had eaten twenty bowls of food, and his belly was a little bloated. However, Zhang Xuezhou's body showed no change, as if he had just swallowed a few mouthfuls of water.
As a practitioner of Bigu Art, Zhenyuan Shenjun is very aware of Zhang Xuezhou's ability.
This is a rapid conversion of the food in the mouth, even an extremely efficient conversion, leaving very few residues, so there is no bloating in the abdomen, and the body recovers extremely quickly.
This is the difference between Zhang Xuezhou's magical power of fasting and his fasting of grains.
Zhenyuan Shenjun said that he was not envious, but he was somewhat envious, but he felt that he could not be so ruthless, even if he was given another chance to choose magical powers, Zhenyuan Shenjun Lord Yuan Shen felt that he would never choose Bigu Jue. He would rather give up the opportunity to attack the magical power realm and practice the technique again, or choose other magical techniques.
“I heard that you can live without eating or drinking, so why do you have to make up for it?” Zhang Shu said hard to understand.
"If you don't want your body to recover, you don't need to take it back. If you want your body's physical energy and magic power to return to normal, you will inevitably need to take it up. It should be noted that fasting is just a diet, not a food-free diet!"
The County Sheriff's Mansion As the familiar laughter came from outside, Zhang Xuezhou turned his head and looked around, only to see County Sheriff Wen Weng walking over with two scrolls of bamboo slips in his arms.
He is not dressed richly. If it were not for the crown on his head that proves his status, the casual clothes he wears would be almost indistinguishable from ordinary people in Shu County.
"Zhang...Dongfang Shuo?"
Seeing Zhang Xuezhou, Wen Weng was obviously stunned.
He originally thought it was some great monk who came to Shu County City to have a talk in the dining room of the County Sheriff's Mansion, but he didn't expect it to be Zhang Xuezhou, who had obtained a false certificate a few years ago.
Having experienced this kind of thing himself, County Sheriff Wenweng was very familiar with Zhang Xuezhou. After all, the number of times he had applied for false certificates in his life was too limited.
“Weren’t you running with Zhong Shu, why did you get separated?” Weng Weng looked at Zhenyuan Shenjun again in surprise and said, “You still don’t know the name of this Taoist friend?”
Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation level was relatively low back then, and the height he could jump further was limited.
Wen Weng didn't have time to examine it carefully. When he turned his eyes to Zhenyuan Shenjun, he felt a faint sense of oppression coming towards him.
Compared to Zhang Xuezhou, who restrained himself like an ordinary person and allowed himself to be inspected by Governor Wenweng, Zhenyuan Shenjun undoubtedly had an integrated body, energy, and spirit, and would naturally fight back with his body the moment he encountered prying eyes.
Wen Weng felt his body tremble slightly.
When he looked at Zhenyuan Shenjun again, he felt that the other person had a sense of condescension.
At this time, it was clear that he was standing and Lord Zhenyuan was sitting, but Weng Weng felt that he was looking at Lord Zhenyuan with his head lowered.
The other person seemed to have an air of aloofness about him, which made Wen Weng feel familiar at the same time.
"Yes...could it be that they are back?"
Wen Weng, who had a deep understanding of ancient history, finally remembered the reason for this uncomfortable feeling of being condescending, and he also roughly identified the origin of Zhenyuan Shenjun.
