The government office of Lizhou Prefecture looks a bit dilapidated. There are signs of new renovations this year, but not much.
It looked like it was too damaged, so it had to be repaired.
It can be seen that not only Jing County is poor, but the entire Lizhou is extremely poor!
Mr. Xu is a little man in his late teens.
Dong Nuan made a visual inspection and found that the other person was about 1.7 meters tall. Standing next to Hanjiang Tower, which was almost 1.9 meters tall, he looked like a child.
In fact, Dong Nuan has always known that Hanjianglou is very tall and oppressive to others.
However, in the past, officials in the capital were very imposing. To put it bluntly, their aura was there and they could stand a few centimeters tall, so it was not obvious at all.
However, when we get here, we compare again...
A bit tragic.
Hanjianglou came over to report and pay a visit. As a female dependent, Dong Nuan can not show up for the time being.
When she was at the door of the government office, she gently opened the curtain and took a look.
Dong Nuan didn't expect that the prefect came to greet him in person, probably because of the letter reminder from Mr. Xu in the capital.
After all, although Hanjianglou was born as a Jinshi, he still had the status of a heir apparent.
Mr. Xu thought, everyone will be colleagues in the future, even if he is the boss, but who knows what will happen in the future?
So, show off your power?
Not necessary.
Anyway, let's live in peace.
The report didn't take long, and Hanjiang Tower came out quickly.
After everyone sorted things out briefly, they went directly to Jingxian County.
The further they walked, the more panicked everyone became.
because……
The road becomes more and more difficult as we go, most of it is mountainous.
From Jingxian County to Fuzhou, there is not even a decent road built, it is all slowly grinding out the mountain roads.
Even if it's a horse-drawn carriage or a donkey-cart, it's not easy to move around.
If the county seat is like this, what's more, what about the villages under the county seat?
After walking for more than an hour, the group finally arrived in Jing County.
It is said to be a county, but it is no different from Xiaowan Village where Dong Nuan lived in the past.
In a good county town, there are not even bluestone roads. They are all dirt roads. Occasionally, there are stones. Because the terrain is low, it may be difficult to walk when it rains, so they are specially placed.
Facing such a dilapidated county town, the group fell into silence.
However, there is a saying that goes well...
All have come.
It's not like they could just turn around and leave.
Dong Nuan was already mentally prepared when he dared to take over this place.
It's just building infrastructure from scratch.
It doesn’t feel that difficult to stay warm in winter.
So, come on.
Just a challenge.
Hanjianglou had already done his homework before coming here, so looking at the situation in Jing County now, he didn't feel too disappointed or surprised.
"Let's go." After taking a look, he motioned for everyone to go to the county government office first.
At the gate of the county government office, all officials from Jingxian County, including the county magistrate who had not yet left office, had already gone out to greet him.
Seeing this scene, Hanjianglou quickly dismounted his horse and met with the old county magistrate.
The current county magistrate, whose surname is Gao, is a little old man who has passed his destiny. He is about half a head taller than the prefect.
He has a smiling face, but he is very old.
If he had not obtained the corresponding information before, Dong Nuan would have suspected that the other party was already in his sixties.
It can be seen that the other party is also worried about Jingxian County.
At the beginning, I might have come here with a lot of passion, but in the end, I just let it go.
Now when I see Hanjianglou, a tall and handsome young man, Kochi County's eyes are still red. After greeting Hanjianglou, I couldn't help patting him on the shoulder: "The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared!"
After sighing, he wiped away his tears.
I don’t know whether I’m crying about having a successor, or whether I’m crying about my lost youth.
Following behind the magistrate were several officials. Dong Nuan made some correspondence based on the information he had obtained in advance.
Following the county magistrate, the tallest, rough-looking, somewhat serious-looking middle-aged man should be Liu County Cheng.
He is the tallest among the county government officials. Dong Nuan made a visual inspection and found that he is about 1.8 meters tall.
Standing side by side with him was a short, middle-aged man about 1.6 meters tall. He lowered his head slightly and couldn't make out his appearance clearly. He should be Director Han.
The middle-aged man standing next to these two people, between them in height, with his head raised and a smile on his face, should be Zhang Dianshi.
After that, there are the four poor and weak government officials.
Okay, the entire county government team is here, which gives Hanjiang Tower enough face.
"You can see the situation in our county. I used to live in the backyard of the county government. Although the house is a bit old, it is airtight and rainproof. It is still a good place to live, and the place is quite big.
A few families can live together without being crowded." Kochi said while looking behind Hanjiang Tower.
After looking at the team behind me, I always felt that my last words were a bit unspeakable.
He lives with a family of several. After his wife passed away two years ago, he sent his two sons back to his hometown to study.
Speaking of which, he and his two old servants are the only ones living now, so the place seems much larger.
However, the young couple Dong Nuan and Han Jiang Lou are followed by about twenty servants, right?
You can't live here!
Although I knew that Hanjiang Tower and Dongnuan had different identities, they started building a lot of things as soon as they came over...
Well, if they are willing to give money to the people, then the people will have some income and can have more food to eat.
Just afraid...
What kind of powerful people are there in the capital? If you have been an official in Kochi County for so many years, don’t you know?
Therefore, he is more worried about the latter.
After saying that he could live in the county government office, he stopped talking about the issue of food and accommodation. Instead, he led Hanjianglou in and started handing over the work.
He has stayed here all his life and worked hard all his life.
However, it's of no use.
Should I be poor or be poor?
Kochi Prefecture sometimes complains that it has no ability.
I came here with a passion, struggled against the wall for several years, and finally saw the reality clearly, but because my personal talents were too mediocre, I did not achieve anything. Jingxian County has actually developed in recent years, but not much.
Not knowing Hanjianglou's path, let alone his temperament, Kochi County is actually quite worried about Jingxian County's future.
It was too warm in winter to follow them in from the front, so one of the old servants from Kochi County quickly led them into the county government office through the backyard.
There is indeed a place to live in the backyard of the county government office, and the place is not too small. Dong Nuan counted it carefully and found that there are still about ten rooms. However, the rooms are not big. Even the rooms in the main courtyard are relatively small.
The main courtyard is facing the county government office. There are five rooms in total. Except for the main room, it is quite large. After putting down a big bed and adding a table, you can squeeze out some walking space. The remaining four rooms
, it is estimated to be about ten square meters.
After putting the bed, I put a chair, and the room felt crowded.
The side rooms on the east and west sides are smaller than the four rooms in the main house.
