Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 1 County Honorable Fang Yuan and Ying Mengxianchen
Chapter 1 County Honorable Fang Yuan and Ying Mengxianchen
Wuling County.
The fish sinks into the wild goose tower.
Fang Yuan is enjoying a foot massage in the supreme private room.
The person doing the service is Lu Chuchu, the oiran from Shenyuluoyanlou.
"Your Majesty the County Lord?"
Lu Chuchu's voice is like an oriole, delicate and delicate.
Saying that, Chu Chu looked up at Fang Yuan pitifully, like a weak rabbit.
"Preaching and teaching?"
Fang Yuan was slightly startled and looked down at Lu Chuchu.
Snow-white skin, exquisite facial features, affectionate eyes, just the right mountain peaks....
Under the careful training of Shen Yuluo Yanlou, Lu Chuchu understands the ways of taming men and can control the hearts of men with every word and deed.
"The county official said yes."
Lu Chuchu's pretty face is slightly red and her eyes are watery.
"Then what are you waiting for? Undress me!"
Fang Yuan waved his arms, signaling Lu Chuchu to start.
Lu Chuchu's face turned redder, but she was not in a hurry to start immediately.
She first took Fang Yuan's feet out of the basin, thoughtfully wiped them clean with a towel and put them aside.
Then he poured the foot washing water into the toilet and flushed it away, then washed his hands before returning to Fang Yuan.
"Your Majesty, the slave family is here."
Lu Chuchu bowed her body, showing her graceful figure.
She put her onion-like fingers on Fang Yuan's forehead, gently crossed the bridge of Fang Yuan's nose, and then went to Fang Yuan's chest and collar.
Fang Yuan squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the top courtesans in Wuling County with enjoyment, feeling extremely comfortable both physically and mentally, sighing at the beauty of life.
Just when she thought Lu Chuchu was about to undress her, her movements stopped.
Just when Fang Yuan was about to urge him, there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report to you."
Chief Registrar Zhang San reported, his voice a little urgent.
"What can be compared to my elegance?"
Fang Yuan said impatiently.
He doesn't like to be disturbed when he is resting.
"A secret message came from above: Your Majesty will pay a private visit to Langzhou incognito, or he may come to our Wuling County, and ask us to keep an eye on him at the gate of the city. If we find someone, we must be eager to please him."
Zhang San said excitedly.
Wuling County is too far away from Chang'an City, and people here will never see a few high-ranking officials.
But the emperor suddenly arrived in Wuling County. As the chief registrar of Wuling County, he was lucky enough to meet Tianyan. It was truly a blessing.
If you can please the emperor, your future is unlimited.
“Since it’s a private visit via incognito, I don’t want anyone to know my identity.”
"Besides, we don't know what the emperor looks like, so how can we keep an eye on him? We have to keep an eye on you."
Fang Yuan thought for a while and then refused.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. If you are close to the king, you may reach heaven in one step, but you may also fall into hell in one step.
In the face of such small opportunities and big risks, Fang Yuan felt that it was better to just pretend that he didn’t know.
"Your Majesty, your term of office is coming to an end and you will be transferred out of Wuling County."
"If we can perform well in front of His Majesty at this time, we won't be promoted, but the place we will be transferred to will not be too bad, right?"
Zhang San persuaded him earnestly at the door.
He knew that his county magistrate would not do such trivial things.
The above secret letter also mentioned this point, asking him to persuade Fang Yuan to watch it in person.
Fang Yuan in the Supreme Private Room fell into thinking after hearing this.
Considering that development is at a very important period, if you leave, all your efforts may be in vain.
So Fang Yuan spent a lot of money, and the power-money deal resulted in a five-year term.
Two years have passed and Wuling County has lived up to Fang Yuan's expectations, growing from a small county with less than 5,000 people five years ago to a large county with about 80,000 people now.
But the term is coming to an end, and there are only five months left. After five months, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Yuan will be transferred to another place.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan sighed in his heart, stood up, and pushed Lu Chuchu aside.
"I will teach you again when I come back."
......
On the official road leading to Wuling County, which has not yet entered Wuling County, there are a few scattered people on the road.
Among them, there were two people walking side by side. They were of extraordinary temperament. They were Emperor Li Shimin and Shangshu's right servant She Du Ruhui.
"Keming, thank you for asking you to get off the car and walk with me."
Li Shimin sighed, his tone sincere.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this. Your body is very strong. Ahem..."
Du Ruhui shook his head and smiled slightly, indicating that it was okay.
But before he finished speaking, he kept coughing and his face turned red and white.
"After walking through Wuling County ahead, if there is no response from Meng Xianchen again, I will no longer force you to go back to Chang'an City and issue a criminal edict."
Li Shi stopped and patted Du Ruhui's back gently with his right hand.
When the sinner's edict was mentioned, Li Shimin's face could not be concealed with great anger.
In April this year, there was a drought and locust plague. The world was short of food and the people were hungry. The price of food in Chang'an City has skyrocketed.
But that's not what troubles him the most.
What troubled him the most was that when he was trying to find ways to provide disaster relief and control locusts, some people spread rumors that various natural disasters occurred because of the emperor's misconduct. Officials therefore forced him to issue an edict to admit his mistakes.
For this reason, Li Shimin ordered several people to be killed, but instead of being able to suppress the noise, it became more and more violent.
Just when he was wondering whether he really wanted to punish himself, he fell into a daydream and dreamed that there was a wise minister in the south who could solve his current predicament.
So Li Shimin took Du Ruhui all the way south, trying to find the so-called Ying Meng Xianchen. However, they found nothing along the way. The places they passed were all deserted, and the people lived in poverty, let alone Ying Meng Xianchen.
When they were about to enter the Wuling County area, there was a secret security report that their whereabouts were suspected to be exposed, so they changed their identities as businessmen and got off the car to walk to avoid being discovered.
"I deserve to die. I failed to relieve His Majesty's worries and dragged His Majesty down."
Du Ruhui looked ashamed and tried not to cough anymore.
He wanted to help Li Shimin figure out how to resolve the crisis of Sin Ji Zhao, but there were too many objections from the court and he was powerless.
"No need to do this, let's continue on our way."
Li Shimin shook his head and forced a smile.
The two of them set out on the road again, but just after walking half a stick of incense, they stopped and looked ahead in shock.
Ahead is an endless gray-white flat road, as wide as eight carriages.
On the right side of the road stands a two-meter-high stone tablet with several large characters written on it: Wuling County welcomes you.
Looking back at the road I just walked on, I saw it was in tatters, with dirt and rocks everywhere, and the width was barely enough for two carriages to run parallel.
Both of them were dumbfounded.
"What kind of road is this? Why is it so wide??"
Li Shimin's voice trembled, and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Even Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, the imperial capital, is not so flat.
There is not even a trace of ups and downs on this road, and it is so solid that no grooves can be made by hand planing.
For a moment, he thought of Ying Mengxianchen who was dreaming during the day, and his breathing became excited.
"I, I don't know."
Du Ruhui was also shocked.
But there is no answer to the current situation.
With Chang'an City as the center, the further south you go, the more deserted it becomes.
He knows what has happened along the way and knows how difficult it is for the people in the south.
However, under current circumstances, how much investment will be needed to build this road?
Do southern states and counties have such capital?
The monarch and his ministers looked at each other, stepped onto the road with excitement, and strode forward.
Going south, the flow of people and vehicles increases, and from time to time we see vehicles loaded with goods heading towards Wuling County.
When the emperor and his ministers arrived at the gate of Wuling County, their eyes lit up when they saw that the county gate was as large as the state city gate.
