MTL - I Don’t Want To Fight Anymore After Wearing An Outer Room-Chapter 471 Handover
The person who came to replace Wen Jiuxiao was called Kong Jiajun, who was a young man, a son of a poor family, a Jinshi background, and a bit tactful.
It is worth mentioning that he belongs to the prince.
Because of Yu Zhi, His Royal Highness inevitably paid more attention to Shanyun County. It can be said that he knows more than Emperor Taikang. Such a place, he naturally wants to hold it in his hands.
The prince naturally has no other thoughts about Yu Zhi, it is purely out of admiration for "Mr. Yu". Because of the attitude of His Royal Highness, the new magistrate Kong Jiajun came here with curiosity and kindness.
"Sir, did we go the wrong way?" Kong Jiajun and his party set foot on the boundary of Shanyun County, hesitant as they walked.
Who doesn't know what Shanyun County is? In the borderlands, the folk customs are tough, there are many mountains and forests, and the forest is still full of miasma. Anyone can imagine how desolate it is, and they were mentally prepared before coming.
However, is the road under your feet too wide and flat? It is paved with bluestone slabs, and the carriage is not bumpy at all, which is no worse than the official roads in the suburbs of Beijing.
Isn’t Shanyun County very remote? What's the matter with the endless convoys on this road?
"Should be right." Shanyun County was clearly written on the boundary marker, but after looking at the convoy ahead, Kong Jiajun was not sure, "Catch up with the convoy ahead and ask."
The follower rode forward, and returned after a stick of incense, with a strange expression on his face. Kong Jiajun's heart skipped a beat, did he really go wrong? Just listen to the follower's report, "My lord, you are right, this is the way to Shanyun County."
Recalling what the team member told him, his expression became even weirder, "My lord, there is a caravan from Jiangnan Road ahead, and they are going to Shanyun County to do business."
The caravan on the Jiangnan side? Going to Shanyun County to do business? He understood every sentence, but why didn't he understand it together?
Thousands of miles from the south of the Yangtze River to Shanyun County to do business? No, what is there in Shanyun County that deserves a caravan to run here? Isn't this a poor place?
Kong Jiajun was stunned, did he think and ask this way?
The attendant said: "The subordinates were also very puzzled, so they asked them what business they were doing. They said that they were transporting grain and cloth this time, and they wanted to exchange some tea and medicinal materials from Shanyun County. They also said that if they could get sugar and Wine is even better. However, sugar and wine in Shanyun County are always in short supply, and eight out of ten times they cannot be exchanged."
He repeated the news he had inquired, with a confused expression, "My lord, did my subordinates hear it wrong, or is there something else going on in Shanyun County?"
Kong Jiajun deserved to be the one the crown prince favored, so he quickly calmed down, "Since we're on the right track, let's see for ourselves what's going on in Shanyun County."
Suddenly remembered that His Royal Highness asked him to take a good look at Shanyun County. He thought it was salt, but now it seems that he is narrow-minded.
A few miles away from the road, there are teahouses, restaurants for pedestrians to rest, and even inns. Kong Jiajun and his group have seen it themselves. Whether it is a teahouse, a restaurant, or an inn, the business is good.
Not only is this road good, they learned from the old man who opened the teahouse that all the roads in Shanyun County are wide and flat, most of them are paved with bluestone slabs, and some are paved with floor tiles. It is also a gravel road, and it is not muddy at all on rainy days.
The old man looked proud, "...this is because Shanyun County has a good county magistrate. In the past, the people in our place lived a hard life and couldn't get enough to eat. We heard that the Lord came, and we paid for it ourselves. Pave the road, build the bridge and build the city wall for us. The road is ready, so people will come? In order to attract businessmen to come to us, we in Shanyun County are helping to build roads in Fucheng. We didn’t ask anyone for a penny. Our adults are not arrogant. ? Our county government has an engineering team that specializes in this. It also helps people build houses and spends some money. It is faster and better than building them yourself..."
It was not the first time for Kong Jiajun to hear such boasting and praise, and then he found that the people of Shanyun County respected their county magistrate very much, and whoever expressed a little doubt, they would be very angry, and their eyes were full of unkindness.
"What? Greed? Don't be joking. In the past, Shanyun County was so poor that rats didn't want to come. The county government was demolished and they couldn't sell it for a few pennies. Where can our county magistrate be greedy? Besides, our county magistrate has such a good background. , the family has a lot of money, and I don't even look down on those three melons and two dates. You are questioning the character of our county magistrate. I have a good temper, and I am willing to talk to you. Change to someone with a quick temper. , do you want to beat you?"
It was not the first time for Kong Jiajun to ask the common people for directions and news during this journey, but basically none of the common people could speak official language, and they all made gestures and talked like chickens and ducks.
The people in Shanyun County are different. Even the old man who runs a teahouse on the side of the road can speak official Chinese. Although he doesn't speak it well, there is no problem in communication.
Kong Jiajun was very surprised, and the old man was even more proud, "Doing business with people is not enough, there are many caravans coming to our Shanyun County, from all over the world, if we don't know how to speak official language, how can we do business with people?" Business? Just take my tea room. The county magistrate said that whoever speaks the official language well will open it first. My old man is the fastest to learn, so my tea room will be opened first, so I picked a good location. Hahaha!"
Kong Jiajun and his party...
When we arrived at the post station, there were already people waiting in the county government, "Is this the new County Magistrate Kong? Your subordinate, Zhai Yougui, the magistrate of Shanyun County, is here to welcome you by the order of my lord."
Kong Jiajun smiled, secretly surprised. Judging by the look of this man, he might have been waiting for them here long ago. Maybe as soon as they set foot on the boundary of Shanyun County, that Master Wen would know that this control alone is too impressive.
After entering the city, the eyes of Kong Jiajun and his party couldn't see it even more. It's so prosperous, this small town in the borderland is so prosperous! This was beyond their expectation.
When they came, they were all prepared to endure hardships, but when they arrived in Shanyun County, they saw, wow, this place is simply paradise on earth!
Kong Jiajun was thoughtful, no wonder His Royal Highness sent the officials around him to remind him. It took eight years to bring a deserted city into its current state, Kong Jiajun asked himself that he didn't have the ability. This former Shaoqing of Dali Temple is really a rare talent! No wonder His Royal Highness wants to transfer him back to Beijing.
Before seeing him, Kong Jiajun was already yearning for him, so much so that his posture was very low during the handover. He accepted all of Wen Jiuxiao's proposals, and did not refute any of them.
This made Wen Jiuxiao heave a sigh of relief, he was afraid of someone whose eyes were higher than the top. Who knows Kong Jiajun's shock: Shanyun County is too rich! Who said that Shanyun County has poor mountains and bad waters? Kong Jiajun really wanted to throw the county government's ledger in his face.
Followed by ecstasy, this is not drudgery, this is clearly fat! Big gap.
Thank you, His Royal Highness.
Go to Xiaoxiang Academy to see the update!
This month is over, do you still have a monthly pass? Give and vote.
Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, which is a good time for spring outing. Tomorrow, I will drive to Luoyang to see the peony, because I have to go to work on Monday, and the surname Cheng can only work for two days. As for the update, try to use your mobile phone to write as much as you can. If it is really too tiring, I can only ask everyone to forgive me.
