County magistrate Zhao Kang squinted his eyes and lay comfortably on a wicker chair, while Zhang Long, the yamen servant next to him, reported in detail.
"Master, the tea we purchased this year has been put into storage for a total of two thousand kilograms, and we can start processing it immediately. In addition, some businessmen in Damingfu want to order another batch of white sugar from us, and the price is ten cents per kilogram. There are also They also gave me five cents a piece for soap, and they told me how much I needed."
"The people in the county couldn't hold it any longer, and asked me to ask you if you would sell it. Besides, there are no clues about the sweet potatoes you mentioned, and then Chuanyang Prefecture wants to buy a batch of cement ash from us..."
Judging from the report of the yamen servant, we know that the Yuanjiang County Magistrate must have traveled from a certain planet for unknown reasons.
"Okay, I understand, let's go down. Don't worry for the people below. Who dares to sell it privately? Master, I can't eat it and carry it around."
After listening to Zhang Long's report, Zhao Kang didn't open his eyes. He wanted to buy me a pound of sugar for only ten cents, and they thought they would lose.
Zhang Long sighed and stepped back.
Lying on the wicker chair, Zhao Kang was filled with emotion.
Five years!
I recall that when I traveled back in time, the people in other people's books were either princes or sect geniuses, but I was actually a poor county magistrate. It didn't matter. It happened to be a world war, and the Qian Kingdom also encountered a food shortage.
Although Yuanjiang County is located between mountains and is remote, it has escaped the war and chaos.
But Zhao Kang was still panicking, because Yuanjiang County was so poor that they all lost their children so quickly. The people in the county were so hungry that they ran away, leaving only a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people.
You must know that in early Chinese history, there were 20,000 to 30,000 people in each county in the early Qin Dynasty, which shows how miserable Yuanjiang County was at that time.
Fortunately, through his unremitting efforts and unscrupulous means, he vigorously developed the people's livelihood economy, attracted investment and carried out reforms, and he did anything as long as he could make money! It took five years to get Yuanjiang County back on track, and the hardships were so sad!
Just as I was sighing in my heart, another government servant with a pockmarked face ran into the small courtyard excitedly: "Master, Master!"
"What's the matter?" Zhao Kang frowned and stood up, this guy is always so reckless.
Mazi came closer and lowered his voice: "Sir, the people in front of me sent back the news that a mahogany carriage has arrived ten miles away from our county. It looks like it is either rich or noble. Do you want to vote for him?"
Zhao Kang glared angrily: "Damn it, I've told you several times, we are the government, not the king of bandits! Are you kidnapping or robbing the country? Can you speak?"
Mazi scratched his head stupidly and admitted his mistake: "My, my, my, I'm not used to this, I can't change it for a while."
"Shut up! Remember, we are now cleaning up! Bah! This is the stage of formalization of the group! Guests who come and go must be treated like gods, do you know!" Zhao Kang hated the educator who was unable to make steel.
Mazi scratched his head: "I understand, do you want to kill him?"
Yeah, there's no hope.
Zhao Kang sighed and looked sideways at Mazi: "Mahogany? Can you see clearly?"
"It's definitely true. The horses pulling the cart are different from ordinary horses. They are so tall!" Mazi gestured with joy.
"Tell the people in front to keep an eye on them. If they enter the county, I will know every move they make. Damn it, they are not some imperial envoys visiting incognito."
Zhao Kang muttered, he is not afraid of anything now, he is only afraid of people coming from above. The war has just ended, and people's livelihood is developing everywhere. If the people coming from above know the situation in the county, why not report him?
He hasn't had enough of this earthly emperor's life yet. Who said that traveling through time has to be fought and killed?
Wouldn't it be nice to stay in a small place and enjoy his blessings?
But you do have to find a few bad guys to make extra money!
at the same time.
A carriage was driving on a bumpy mountain road. The driver was an old man in gray. There were two women in the carriage, one of whom wrote "D" on the map of Anling County with a pen in his hand.
The maid next to her knew that the Anling County magistrate was going to be in bad luck.
"Your Majesty..." she just shouted.
The woman who was looking at the map raised her eyes and was so frightened that she quickly changed her words: "Miss."
"What's the matter?" These two short words were extremely majestic, and coupled with the woman's beautiful face, it immediately made people feel ashamed.
In fact, it is true that all men in the world cannot hold their heads high in front of her.
Because she is the Lord of Daqian, the only female emperor in history.
Xiao Linglong!
The maid hurriedly said: "Miss, should we go back? We have visited all five states and six mansions. It has been three months."
"I'm not busy. There's another Yuanjiang County I haven't visited yet. It's not that far away. Let's go and have a look." Xiao Linglong lowered her eyes and fell on the three words Yuanjiang County on the map.
The maid looked at the map and whispered: "Yuanjiang County is located between three mountains. It looks like a remote area..."
Xiao Linglong chuckled: "Green Yuan, you've been out with me for so long and you still don't know the purpose of my trip? Do you really think I'm just here for fun?"
The maid did not dare to speak. The woman put away the map and said calmly: "There are hundreds of counties and counties in the five states and six prefectures in this country. I don't know how many things there are. I really thought that the people sitting on that chair and below would know one or five things." Ten, tell me everything clearly?"
"This..." the maid suddenly realized.
Xiao Linglong said lightly: "If you don't take a look with your own eyes and walk around, how can you know whether it is true or false?"
After saying that, she put down the ink pen in her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, feeling quite a headache.
This battle lasted too long. Although Daqian won, it was only a miserable victory.
People everywhere are hungry, the world is desolate, food is in short supply, and the state treasury is stretched thin. If I hadn't gone out for a trip, I might have thought that the end of the war would mean a peaceful situation for the country and the people.
Just as she was thinking about it, the moving carriage suddenly stopped, causing the entire carriage to shake. The woman frowned. The maid hurriedly asked the driver: "Why did Mr. Lin stop suddenly!"
"Well, ladies, come out and see for yourselves!" The coachman's mouth was full of horror, as if he had seen a ghost.
The two women opened the car curtains and poked their heads out together. They saw a flat road seven or eight meters wide with no idea of the end in front of them.
The road is extremely smooth and gray, leading to the mountains.
The three of them were dumbfounded!
"This way!" The maid's eyes widened.
Xiao Linglong also had a look of disbelief in her eyes, and lost her voice: "It doesn't look like it is paved with stone slabs, but how can it be so smooth!"
Even most of the outer city of the capital is covered with yellow mud, which becomes muddy when it rains, but this mountain road is actually so smooth!
Who has eaten too much to build such a road? How much manpower and material resources it will cost!
"Miss, look." The maid Lu Yuan pointed to the entrance of the road.
I saw only a road sign with a line of large characters written on it.
If you want to get rich, build roads first!
Below these six words, there is a line of small words that looks extremely friendly:
