Compared to the countries in the Central Plains, the climate in Liyang Territory is more tropical. Hot moisture will envelope the territory as the scorching sun rises. Although the high temperature and high humidity environment seems to be particularly suitable for the wild monsters to be active, but it is normal.
As a human being, working under the sun for even half an hour will put your life in danger.
Therefore, except for the manpower necessary to suppress famines, people in Liyang usually stay at home during the day to avoid the scorching sun, and only go out for activities in the cooler early morning and after dusk.
It was already dusk when Wen Hui left the prison at the gathering, and the scorching sunshine that had ravaged Li Yang during the day had slightly subsided. Crowds of people seizing the time to move around could be seen everywhere on the streets, as well as the accompanying bursts of noise.
"Come, come! Cold melon chilled with well water, quench your thirst and cool down the heat! Unwrap and cook!"
"Everyone who is passing by should take a look! The dagger made in the ancient iron workshop can cut iron like mud and protect yourself and your life!"
"The Qinmin Department wants to hire masonry workers. Has anyone done this job before? Strong laborers will be given priority!"
Every summer in Liyang Territory, residents of the settlements would flee due to riots caused by monsters. The fleeing settlements would gather in nearby cities, thus bringing a wave of production and consumption to the city.
Especially this year, due to the activity of the "Hunting Cavalry", a new force established by Liyang Prefecture, all the rioting monsters along the highway in the capital were suppressed. As a result, the number of fleeing militia groups coming to the capital along the highway also increased compared with previous years, so that now Liyang City
The population has expanded by 20 to 30% compared to normal times.
The expanding population has brought about strong consumer demand, so even if it is close to dusk, the streets are still filled with crowds and heat waves. However, contrary to that wave of enthusiasm, Wen Hui walking along the street looks heavy and physically and mentally exhausted.
.
In fact, it's no wonder that this chief official is so depressed, after all, he is still guilty at this moment.
The Kino clan under his jurisdiction collapsed not long ago due to the conspiracy of the evil party Mirage. Although it was a blessing among misfortunes that the people of the community were able to leave before the collapse of the village, the evil party who was behind the conspiracy was not caught, so it became necessary
We need to put ourselves in a responsible situation——
As a local official in charge of the settlement, he neglected the management of the area and failed to notice the conspiracy of the evil party dormant in the settlement. He even almost caused a famine that affected the territory. If the Liyang Mansion seriously listed the charges, Wen Hui would have ten heads.
Not enough to cut.
The reason why Fatty Wen's head is still growing well on his neck at this moment is partly because the Young Supervisor Si interceded with Zichen Pavilion, and the other half is because of his surname. The Wen family has been loyal to the Liyang Wu family for generations, although they have never
He has produced famous figures with meritorious deeds, but in terms of qualifications, he can be regarded as a veteran of the gentry. He has hard work even without merit.
Based on this consideration, the female boss reluctantly showed mercy and did not take away Fatty Wen's head, but temporarily locked him up in the staff prison to await punishment.
The prison prison is a place where criminal officials are specially housed. Both the environment and the atmosphere are extremely harmful to the body and mind. Wen Hui's punishment has not yet been announced. During the prison period, Fatty Wen was tortured by panic. When he was released, he unexpectedly lost a lot of weight.
few.
Wen Hui was released today.
At the same time as his release, Wen Hui also received a transfer letter, requiring him to go to the Fangzao Department to report on his duties.
"Fang Zaosi? What does Fang Zaosi want from me..."
Wen Hui was confused when he received the transfer letter.
In the consular government system, the Ji Zheng City Shou and others are all officials under the jurisdiction of the Qin Min Division. The Qin Min Division is the government office that manages people's livelihood, while the Fang Zao Division is the technical office that manages the factory buildings. There is absolutely nothing in common between the two.
Therefore, Wen Hui has never heard of any precedent for cross-department transfers.
Wen Hui, who was in the Construction Department, knew someone from the Juvenile Supervision Department, so there was no need to consider other possibilities for the reason for the transfer.
Although I don’t know why he was transferred from the Young Supervisor Division, to Fatty Wen, who was looked down upon in the Kinoji, there is no worse workplace than that, so he doesn’t feel much uneasy. After all, the Wen family has a poor reputation in the first place.
Wen Hui appears to be a small nobleman, not to mention a man with great ambitions.
"Hey, it doesn't matter even if I don't have to use the field, as long as I can live peacefully in the corner of the Yamen..."
Wen Hui raised his head and looked ahead, murmuring the mediocre thoughts of a low-level official.
Ahead is the Ximen Camp, and further ahead is Liyang Xishan. The official residence of the Young Supervisor Division is built in Xishan, which is why Wen had to walk through the camp to Xishan.
"By the way, it's too lively here, isn't it? Isn't it a riot period now?"
Walking along the camp, Wen Hui looked around in confusion.
The Ximen Camp was originally a place for the trading teams to stop and unload their goods. However, because the strange tribe is particularly active in the summer, the dangers along the trade routes will also increase significantly. Therefore, during the turmoil, the land trade of the Huang Kingdoms was carried out.
are temporarily suspended, and the station will become deserted——
This is how it should be, but the actual atmosphere inside the venue is as warm as the streets in the city.
On the road where the camp was stationed, pack animals dragging timber and laborers pushing bucket carts could be seen everywhere.
The sound of sawing wood and the clang of sharpening knives and forging iron filled the place one after another.
There were more than a dozen large cooking pots set up in the open area of the camp. Women were gathered around the large pots, some chopping vegetables and others cooking. A group of little ghosts with runny noses walked back and forth between the cooking pots, and were immediately captured.
The angry women grabbed their ears and screamed.
Such a noisy scene made Wen Hui feel confused.
The Ximen garrison was sometimes used as a place to house people fleeing famine, and he knew this. However, the people fleeing famine were oppressed by the famine and fled to the capital to seek refuge.
It can’t be called a privilege. You’re lucky to be able to make a living, but what about the festive atmosphere in front of you?
Wen Hui walked towards Xishan full of doubts.
After stepping into Xishan, the scene he saw made Fatty Wen even more stunned.
Wen Hui, who was born in a noble family, was no stranger to the geography of Liyang. In his memory, Xishan was a sparsely populated and remote area in Liyang City. Except for wild boars and bears that would appear from time to time and cause short-term commotion, they would hardly leave anything in the lives of Liyang people.
Sense of presence…
This is how Xishan was in his impression, but what appeared in front of Wen Hui's eyes at this moment was a completely different scene.
First of all, the narrow ramp built along the mountain has now been completely widened. The ramp that originally could only barely accommodate one van has been widened to the point where two vans can travel parallel without being crowded.
The beasts of burden dragged timber and stones back and forth along the ramp, while busy craftsmen on both sides used these materials to build foundations and support pillars, and then built regular wooden buildings. The wooden buildings followed the mountains.
Connected to each other, they are as imposing as a fortress rising from the ground.
"Kinoji? No, why are you here..."
For a moment, Wen Hui had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu, and for the next moment, his sense of geography was confused.
Kinoji, where Wen Hui worked in the past, was a well-known craftsmen's colony. The solid fortress built by the craftsmen withstood all kinds of famines and was not breached until the ghost rock species awakened. Although the fortifications in front of him had not yet been built, the fortifications were still impressive.
There is no difference between Shang and Kinoji.
If you look closely, you can see the shirtless craftsmen busy on both sides of the ramp. Most of them seem to be familiar faces.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, the black-haired female swordsman on the dam over there cut off a log two people high like firewood. She was a master Wen Hui had never seen before. As for the female swordsman who was not far away
In the distance, the female Flame Envoy who was directing the swarm of Flame Bees to attack the rock wall and expand the path was obviously competing with the former.
The contest between the two female heroes attracted bursts of applause from the craftsmen, but Wen Hui only felt dizzy.
Before he arrived at the residence of the Juvenile Supervision Bureau, what he saw on the road was far beyond his ordinary imagination. Although he didn't know what he was going to do when he was transferred to Fangzao Division, what was certain was that the ideal job of living a stable life in the corner of the Yamen was probably no longer there.
It may have occurred.
Wen Hui subconsciously looked around, hesitating in his mind whether to escape.
In front of the spacious cave dug out on the left front, a young man in a gray robe was holding a blueprint and explaining matters to the craftsmen next to him. When he looked up, he suddenly met Wen Hui's eyes.
When he saw Pang Ji Zheng, who was panic-stricken and entangled on the roadside, the young man's originally frowning eyebrows instantly relaxed. But when he saw the Young Supervisor looking like that, Wen Hui suddenly started to tremble.
