Chapter 413 What about Mao Sheng? (More updates please vote for me)
"Meow~~"
"Sir, your cat is meowing, but is it thirsty? Or is it stuck?" Luzhi County drank half a pot of wine, his face was already red, he bent down and looked at the cat with concern, "Do you want to drink more?"
Give it half a bowl of coconut soup to quench its thirst?"
"She said she was very grateful for the magistrate's hospitality. She was already very full. On the way here, she found a lot of rats in the magistrate's house. In order to repay the magistrate, she wanted to clean it up for the magistrate."
"Oh? But seriously?"
"nature."
"This meow is actually such a long paragraph?"
"The words of cats and dogs are different from those of humans. Their barks only express one meaning, and when translated into human language, the words are very long."
"I see……"
The magistrate of Lu County smiled and said to Song Yu: "Sir, you have great views. Those who have great views are also masters."
As soon as he finished speaking, a three-colored shadow suddenly fell to the ground and rushed out. When Lu Zhixian looked outside, he saw the calico cat brought by the Taoist, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Lan'an County, the county magistrate, is really well-governed. It is the only prosperous and wealthy county along the coast of Langzhou."
"Well, I won't hide it, sir. Mr. Lu's position as magistrate of the county is originally from Xianfeng. Although Langzhou is remote and wild, it can satisfy Mr. Lu's desire to be an official. I just thought about this place at the time.
It's a good thing that it's a little more wild. Not so many people look down on it, but I didn't expect that here, the local people don't know what it means to get an official position, but the county chief ministers in the yamen often look down on me. In the publicity of a few of them
Then, the natives treated me with contempt." The magistrate of Lu County was obviously a little drunk and shook his head, " Mr. Lu had no other choice but to make some achievements and show them."
"It seems that Luzhi County is very effective."
"Haha, after several years of operation, I have worked hard and managed to earn a good reputation."
"If you are an official with a diagonal title or an official with a correct title, you are a good official if you do things for the people."
"I have to give you a toast, sir."
The magistrate of Lu County immediately raised his cup again, clinked it with him, drank with roasted pig tail, and said to him: "It's a pity that the weather here is too hot. Although there are large open spaces to be reclaimed, the sea is also inexhaustible."
An inexhaustible treasure house, Mr. Lu has been humble and invited many caravans over the years, but after all, there are too few native people in Lan'an County. They have land and strategies, but no one can use them..."
Magistrate Lu shook his head, feeling rather regretful.
"The magistrate has a big plan in mind."
"It doesn't matter if I have a big plan. As an oblique official, it will be good if I can continue to do it safely." Lu Zhixian paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and asked him for advice. It seemed that he heard the intention from the court.
If there is news about Xie Feng's dismissal, ask him about the situation.
Unfortunately, how could Song You know?
At that time, the Saibei people invaded in large numbers, and the war lasted for many years. Several states in the north were wiped out. The imperial court did not seek peace but sought war. In order to raise military expenses, it sold a lot of imperial edicts and was granted official status. If the national division is still determined
I would not do such a thing that goes back on my word, but now that the Imperial Master is dead, the Emperor is dying, and the throne is about to be replaced, it is normal for the policy to change in this regard in the future.
It was good that I was in Changjing, so I could inquire for him, but now that I was thousands of miles away, there was really nothing I could do.
By the end of the meal, the sound of mice chirping could be heard outside the house. It was quite miserable. Magistrate Lu stretched his neck and looked outside. Unfortunately, it had already darkened, and the yard was dark. He could only look through the moonlight.
A colorful shadow shuttled back and forth, and there were also black shadows on the ground, arranged neatly.
Only then did the Lu County Magistrate confirm that what the gentleman had just translated from Mao'er was actually true.
It was very hot during the day, but now it was cooler, so the two of them continued chatting and enjoyed themselves quite a lot.
After the food was almost eaten, the wine was drunk, and the commotion outside had almost subsided, the cat returned to the Taoist, sitting upright, licking its paws. Magistrate Lu asked the Taoist with concern, and the Taoist only said that there were no mice in the house.
They were all eliminated. When he was holding the lamp to send the Taoist to his room, he passed by the courtyard outside and looked down by the lamp. Even though he had been prepared in his heart, he couldn't help but let out an ouch.
There were dozens of mice, large and small, scattered all over the ground, all neatly arranged.
"Sir, you have a magical cat!"
The magistrate of Lu County couldn't help but boast.
After hearing this, the Taoist priest who had been humble throughout the dinner just smiled, nodded and said:
"really."
Then he followed him back to his room to rest.
The temperature difference at the seaside is large, it is hot during the day, but very cool at night. Song You only covered his belly with a cat quilt without a quilt, lying on the mat, and had a wonderful sleep.
Lu Zhixian is a diligent official, and he has already found a local subordinate to work in the household early in the morning. Lan'an County's income is mainly from shipping and fishery. Lu Zhixian imitates the system of many large commercial counties in the mainland, and has a dedicated department within the county government.
After setting up a boat and fishery tax office, this subordinate staff member engaged in related matters and was very familiar with the prices of fishing boats. As soon as they met, he asked Song You how big a boat he wanted to buy.
Song You originally wanted to buy a slightly larger boat, not too big, just as big as the boats he took on the Yinjiang and Liujiang rivers, so that it would be easier to bring the horses on.
But then I thought about it. Firstly, I was born in Yizhou, so I don’t know how to row a boat. If the boat is too big, I might not be able to control it without using magic. Secondly, the wind and waves on the sea are far worse than those of rivers in the mainland. Although the bay-red horse is otherworldly, it can stand on the same side.
It was too difficult to withstand the ups and downs of the sea on a small boat that could barely stand on it, so he changed his mind and just bought a small boat that could hold him.
"This is easy to handle!"
The local subordinate immediately spoke with a thick accent: "We are in short supply of small boats like this here. Not to mention the old ones, new ones are not expensive, they are easy to buy, easy to buy."
"Just buy an old, sturdy one."
“Good buy, good buy!”
"Then thank you very much."
"hey-hey……"
The native servant didn't know how to answer, so he grinned.
Lu Zhixian sent them all the way out of the county office, gave them the fishing rods he had used before, and also gave them half a load of copper coins as a gift. Song You was really not short of money now, so he politely declined the money and accepted it.
I bought the bamboo fishing rod, fishhook and fishing line presented by Lu Zhi County, which was regarded as a farewell gift to a friend with whom I had become close, and to keep my friendship.
Immediately, Song You took the bay red horse and calico cat and followed the native servant out of the city and towards the seaside.
You can already see the sea from the mountain, but you can only see a line. Now you start walking, and you walk for almost an entire hour before you arrive at a lively fishing village on the seaside.
"Our dialect here is called Gongerduo, which means that the people here are good at building ships. After the county magistrate came, he named it Ship Village, so that people who buy and sell ships can do business here. Now everyone here is a shipbuilder.
And those who sell boats. The village next to it is all about selling fish." The native subordinate pointed to the front and said, "There are people in the county government here. Buying and selling boats here, you won't be cheated."
"The county magistrate is a good person."
"I'll take you there."
Song You followed him for a walk.
As expected, there are many people selling boats here. Although it is not as prosperous as the legendary Yangzhou Overseas, there are boats of all sizes, but the most common ones are small fishing boats commonly used by fishermen.
The subordinate official chose a sturdy second-hand wooden boat for Song You, more than one foot long and four feet wide, and it cost three to six coins.
After drawing up a contract, pressing fingerprints, paying taxes and closing the deal, you were protected by the government.
"Thank you very much."
Song You took out a little bit of silver that he had just weighed and cut, and stuck it on the wax. It was less than a penny, and he handed it to the subordinate respectfully, counting it as the expense of his hard work for a special trip.
This is not considered evil.
In these days, it is very common for subordinate officials in the yamen to provide you with some conveniences in addition to their duties and provide you with some remuneration, which is also one of their sources of income.
The subordinate took it naturally, thanked him, and gave him a brief introduction to the skills of rowing. Then he stood on the shore and saw that he could row well, so he told him: "The sea is rough, so you
You must watch the weather for this small boat. If the weather changes, you must come back, otherwise it will be capsized all at once."
After saying this, he said goodbye to Song You and returned to the city.
At this time the sun was slowly setting.
The setting sun on the seaside is big and round, hanging on the horizon, like a huge yellow halo, making the sea surface sparkling. Many fishermen have returned from going to sea and docked their boats to go home.
Song You was still floating on the sea. The waves were beating against the shore layer by layer, trying to push the boat to the shore. He said to Empress Sanhua with a smile: "We also have a boat of our own."
Already."
Mao'er stood in the middle of the boat, looked back at him when he heard the sound, then turned around and looked around, and then said:
"Three taels and six denarii."
"But with the boat, we can go out to sea, fish, catch squid, and catch squid. Don't you think it's interesting? They are all what Sanhua Empress likes to eat."
"interesting."
"That's fine then."
"Three taels and six denarii."
"Instructions for the Sanhua Empress..."
Song You said to her while rowing the boat: "You can't grow young in life, so don't waste the money you spend on drinking on the bedside."
"Suddenly..."
The swallow flew down from the sky and landed on the bow of the ship.
At dusk, a small boat rowed along the coast, and the horses followed slowly on the shore.
The Taoist on the boat was actually talking to the cat.
"Drink money?"
"Sanhua Empress has studied poetry for so long. She should know that this is just a metaphor." Song You said patiently, "Life is short, and youth is even shorter. Sanhua Empress must cherish her love for fun at a young age and her ability to play.
Sanhua Empress who is able to do so, don’t be stingy with money and enjoy yourself in time. In this way, the Sanhua Empress in the future will also be grateful to you."
"Well……"
The cat looked thoughtfully at the Taoist.
Swallows were lazily preening their feathers on the bow of the boat.
After a while, I heard her whisper:
"Miss Sanhua knows...
"Empress Sanhua must know..."
Sanhua Empress has been studying poetry for a long time. She only sells wine and metaphors, so she naturally knows it.
…
This is the sixth update!
(Bow and bare chest)
The reason why I added it now is because I went back to my hometown to visit my parents a few days ago. One thing that Jasmine doesn't like about adding updates is that you can't ask for leave in the month of adding updates. Otherwise, adding updates and asking for leave is a kind of misappropriation.
It is suspected that the update is a fake update. Although Jasmine knows that this is not the case, she is also afraid that everyone will think so. So I should have taken leave a few days ago, but gritted my teeth and finished the update normally. It is only today that I have saved chapters to add updates for everyone.
