Chapter 588: Loyalty (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Just when everyone was stunned, a loud laugh came, "Haha." Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
But it was Gongsun Weiming who walked in and spoke in a puffy tone, "This is the trust that the Dao Palace has in you." β
"Eavesdropping on us again," Zhao Xinxin glared at him fiercely, "It's also a pass, what about the quality?"
These days, she is already very familiar with Gongsun Weiming, and Weiming has no license to speak unreliable, but he doesn't care about her speaking - in fact, he is a little curious about her relationship with Li Yongsheng.
"Okay, since there is not much time, don't delay," Li Yongsheng interrupted them with a smile, "Let's discuss what to do next." β
"I have the latest news from the Northeast here, and I want to tell you," Gongsun Weiming ignored him, but looked at Zhao Xinxin provocatively, "This British king...... Ahem, this ...... Would you be interested in hearing it?"
As a result, the Ninth Princess's face sank, and she spoke unhappily, "If you don't have a clear permit, don't joke about this kind of thing." β
Gongsun Weiming actually had a headache to deal with her, this woman didn't like to joke, "Okay, the King of England reprimanded the military service envoy of Murowei and removed the post of the military service envoy of Acheng on the spot, is it exciting enough?"
Zhao Xinxin was relieved when she heard this, this is really nothing, the edge of King Ying's town is a newcomer and a new atmosphere, isn't it normal to burn a few fires after taking office?
Li Yongsheng didn't want him to be too disappointed, so he had to ask, "The military envoy of Murowei is considered Li Qingming's old department, right?"
"It's Li Qingming's old department, but later he got closer to Kan Shuai," Gongsun Weiming smiled, feeling that he finally didn't act in vain, this Li Yongsheng is really proficient in the way of the world, "Otherwise, it wouldn't be his turn to be this envoy." β
"Then there's nothing to worry about," Li Yongsheng directly changed the topic, "Get ready, let's leave today." β
"Leaving today?" Gongsun Weiming was startled when he heard this, "Are you ready to take in the supplies and manpower of the displaced people?"
"Of course the supplies are ready," Li Yongsheng replied with a smile, and then patted the storage bag on his waist, "The Ninth Princess is very thoughtful. β
Zhao Xinxin glanced at him, and her heart was full of sweetness, "The main thing is that you are thoughtful." β
She also thought about preparing supplies, but when she didn't have a word, she really didn't think that she should prepare a lot of supplies.
But Li Yongsheng insisted, he said that once the news spreads, and then purchase materials, and make a hasty shot, it will definitely face the problem of price increases, so it is better to buy some in the early stage.
Now he said that this is what she meant, Zhao Xinxin's vanity has been greatly satisfied, and his heart is worthy of being my husband.
"Okay, the supplies are there, but what about the manpower?" Gongsun Weiming glanced at the ten Dao Tong with disdain, "You can't just expect these ten people to be able to manage such a large place......, right? That's a homeless person. β
"Of course, there are others," Zhao Xinxin was a little unhappy, "The Qin family's side also promised me fifty repairs." β
"Yes, they promised you, but when will they come?" Gongsun Weiming began to call true, he stretched out a fist and clenched it fiercely, "Ten days, you only have ten days." β
Li Yongsheng couldn't look at it anymore, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and see it first, communicate, this process will take a day or two, publicize and go there to take in the homeless people, let everyone know, it will take a few more days, and then the homeless people will come over......"
"It will take a few days for the displaced people to come over," Zhao Xinxin answered.
She just didn't bother to think about it, it wasn't that she didn't understand anything, "Add up these days, ten days will be up, and my task will be completed...... For the first time, there were about a dozen or twenty people to greet the homeless, which was enough. β
Gongsun Weiming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly, "You two are really ...... The husband sings and the wife follows. β
Hearing these four words, the anger in Zhao Xinxin's heart suddenly disappeared, "Okay, the unspecified permit, we are going to Zhongyi, will you follow?"
"Of course I'm going along," Gongsun Weiming raised his chin, "I've heard of this kind of thing about taking in displaced people, and I haven't done it yet, so I must have a long experience." β
Everyone is saying to go, the operation of our restaurant is on the right track, with Deng Die's help to watch, the second elder of the Lin family has also returned from Baiyue, wearing a mask as a thug, enough to ensure the normal operation of the restaurant.
In fact, our restaurant already has a lot of fame in Vermilion Bird City, and the news that the ninth princess saw the truth has also spread, and no one dares to go wild here.
The restaurant has more than 20 good horses, everyone cleaned up a little, set off directly, and found a place to rest that night, but two Taoist children did not stop, and under the protection of the tall old man in Binbei Double Poison, they went to Zhongyi County at night.
The road to Zhongyi was not easy to walk, although it was less than five hundred miles away from Suzaku City, but everyone hurried with all their might, and it was only at noon on the third day that they arrived at the county seat.
The two Taoist boys who arrived in advance were already waiting at the intersection with several officials.
The county order of loyalty did not come, and a county official came, with a few officials.
After Zhao Xinxin greeted them, she looked around at the county.
The county seat is very small, at a glance, but about 30 miles in a radius, there are two or three thousand houses, of which there are only more than 100 houses built of stone, most of which are adobe houses.
In fact, the adobe houses are quite good, and there are seven or eight hundred thatched houses on the periphery of the county seat, and some people live in them.
Further around, there are uneven mountains - sure enough, surrounded by mountains.
Zhao Xinxin glanced at Li Yongsheng speechlessly: This is the place you chose for me?
But since she came, she had to ask what the situation of this Zhongyi County really wasβit didn't feel as big as an ordinary town.
In fact, this county is located in a small basin, with a population of only more than 5,000, but it is the most prosperous place within a radius of tens of thousands of miles.
Zhongyi is a county more than 100 miles wide and more than 200 miles long, but the whole county has a population of only more than 40,000 people, basically all of them are in the mountainous areas, and the population is smaller and smaller the further west, and there are tens of thousands of miles of primeval forests, and no one lives in it at all.
In short, it is four words, the land is vast and sparsely populated, because it is all mountainous, there is very little land available for cultivation, too many people are crowded together, and there is not enough to eat.
The establishment of Zhongyi County is to better manage these scattered people, and it stands to reason that it is enough to set up a town here, but in Middle-earth, towns with a radius of tens of thousands of miles are still rare.
The most important thing is that at the level of townships and towns, there is no military force, only at the county level can be there, and there are many surrounding mountainous areas, and the probability of bandits and beasts is extremely high, so there is a county here.
In fact, after the establishment of the county, it was much easier for the people in the jurisdiction to open up the road - although many people never left the mountainous area in their entire lives.
However, the standard of living in the county is not too bad, most people can rely on the mountains to eat, and the adobe houses in the county town are adobe bricks made of clay, which are actually quite strong.
As for those thatched houses, they were built by various villages in the mountains, and if someone from the village came to the county seat, they could live there without staying in a guest house.
Even in many thatched huts, there is still fresh water for the people in the village to take for free, and you can remember to make up for it when you go back - it is convenient for you to be convenient for others.
However, there are so many thatched huts now, many of which were built by displaced people from outside.
That's right, even in a remote place like Zhongyi, there are homeless people coming.
The arrival of these homeless people also brought a lot of trouble to Zhongyi, and many of the free drinking water in the thatched huts were taken away by them directly, without even a word of thanks, and there were more petty thefts and fights.
In the past, Zhongyi County was not a paradise that was left behind, but the order was still relatively good, and everyone could count the restless guys, and if something happened, just ask these people.
If you don't admit it, it's okay if you don't admit it, be careful when you go missing!
Such a big mountain, such a small number of people, if someone is hated and thrown into a ravine with a stuffy stick, the body will not be found for a hundred years.
But the arrival of the outcasts has obviously disrupted the order here, and they don't care what you are - we are hungry, we have to eat, we have to live.
In the words of the county magistrate, it was we who organized the manpower and hit them hard once, and they finally realized that it was wrong not to follow the rules.
He said it easily, but as you can imagine, the words "hard blow" are absolutely bloody.
When Zhao Xinxin heard this, she glanced at Li Yongsheng, "It seems that homeless people are not welcome here." β
"There is no place where homeless people are welcome," Li Yongsheng rolled his eyes.
"We still have mercy," the county Cheng immediately said when he heard this, "mainly these people, who have no shame, steal and rob, and urinate indiscriminately." β
"It is not uncommon for Cang Liao to know etiquette and to know honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing," Li Yongsheng said lightly, "Where there is a large floating population, it will inevitably lead to many short-term behaviors...... Governance is about setting the rules. β
Zhao Xinxin glanced at the county Cheng, "If the county order doesn't come, it probably doesn't want us to take in the displaced people here?"
"The Ninth Princess said with a smile," the county replied with a smiling face, "The county lord went to the mountains to mediate the dispute between the two villages, and the matter of taking in the displaced people will help the stability of the society, of course we will strongly support it." β
If the person who came was only a disciple of the Xuannu Palace, he was not afraid of arguing with reason, but this ninth princess who was still the king of England, he really didn't dare to be presumptuous - you must know that there were rumors in the court that the king of England might be of great use.
Zhao Xinxin squinted at him, "But how do I feel, you have a lot of complaints?"
The county Cheng thought about it for a while, gritted his teeth and replied, "The county lord thinks that the conditions here are not enough to settle the homeless, and I hope that the ninth princess will see it." β
"What does the county think?" Zhao Xinxin looked at him coldly, "I won't ask him now, since he is not here, I will ask you, are you willing to help the imperial court do this?"
The county man hesitated, gritted his teeth and replied, "Please also ask the ninth princess to go to the county government to discuss." β
