Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 253 Lushan County (2)

"What are you talking about?! You are not happy about the heavy rain. We in Lushan County have been waiting for this rain for almost three years."

The young yamen servant was accompanied by a skinny middle-aged yamen servant who was nearly forty years old. At this time, the yamen servant was pulling the city gate vigorously while secretly crying:
"It's raining. It's a pity. If there is such a heavy rain, if it can last for a while, the Lushan River in our city can be filled."

"Didn't it rain just a month ago?" The young yamen servant was puzzled when he saw the middle-aged yamen servant wiping away tears.

The middle-aged yamen servant reached out his hand to touch the rainwater mixed with tears on his face, and his face was full of joy: "How can it be the same!
A month ago, there were several heavy rains on the side of Yunzhou Prefecture in southern Yunnan, but here in Lushan County, there are only a few sporadic drops of light rain left.After a few rains, not to mention the Lushan River in the city, even the tank in the backyard of our house didn’t accumulate much water.

In the next few days, the sun was shining, and even the shadow of the water was almost invisible.

It's different now, look at the rain, Lushan County will really be saved.After three years, God finally saw how miserable the people of our Lushan County are. "

The joy in the eyes of the thin middle-aged yamen servant was also the joy in the eyes of many people in Lushan County who were awakened by the thunder at this time.

Many people even opened the door and rushed to the street without even putting on their coir raincoats, ignoring the thunderous thunder outside and the heavy rain. The cold spring rain chilled their hearts.

Everyone laughed, and their eyes were red when they smiled.

No matter how hard it was, it was finally over.
-
Things pulled back outside the city gate.

Jiang Pingshunzi and the two of them were waiting impatiently for the city gate to open while the carriage was parked far away.Seeing that the city gate was slowly opened, he couldn't help but look at Gu Qi happily: "Sister Qi, we can enter Lushan County now."
-
If it was said that Yuan'an Town was full of tourists more than ten years ago, then Lushan County at this time is sparsely populated.

To be precise, in front of the huge city gate of Lushan County, Gu Qi and his party couldn't even meet Luo Que's standard.

It's hard to imagine that such a large county town was empty when the city gate was opened.In fact, just before the arrival of Gu Qi and the others today, from the opening of the Yin hour in Lushan County until noon, almost no one entered the city.

This situation has been going on for half a year, and even after noon, there are only a few sporadic people coming and going near the city gate.

This is why there are only two yamen servants who come out to guard the city in shifts every day in such a large county, and the two yamen servants who guard the city today delayed the opening of the city gate by half an hour and didn't take it seriously.

After all, according to the previous situation, opening is also free.
-
"Little Dongzi, do you see that carriage in front?"

Pulling open the city gate, the skinny middle-aged yamen servant found a sweat towel, wiped his face, and barely suppressed his excitement. As soon as he looked up, he faintly saw something approaching the city gate.

But the rain was too heavy, and the vision in front of him was blurred by the vast expanse of whiteness, making the middle-aged yamen servant unable to see clearly, so he simply turned his head and asked the young yamen servant beside him.

"No way, at this time, who will come to our Lushan County."

The young yamen servant took the sweat towel and wiped his face, then looked in the direction the middle-aged yamen servant pointed.This time I really saw several black shadows waking up towards the chariots and horses behind the rain curtain:

"It really looks like someone is coming."
-
"This bad guy."

When the carriage stopped at the gate of the city, Shunzi took the merchant's documents wrapped in oilcloth, jumped off the carriage, and handed them to the two officials who were still confused:

"Master, we are members of Qi's Commercial Firm, and the one riding in front is my young master's family. There are a few guards in the carriage. Because of the sudden rain, the coir raincoats are not enough, so we can only hide in the carriage at this moment. Master Do you want to check?"

"what?"

The young yamen servant was still in a daze. He hadn't been a yamen servant for a long time. It was because many yamen servants had resigned from their jobs and the yamen couldn't find anyone to make up the number for a while, so he was recruited.

Since he started working in the Lushan County government office, he has only guarded the city gate three times. During the three times he guarded the city, he has never seen anyone entering the city alone. Now he suddenly met a foreign merchant Team, don't you just look confused and don't know anything.

It was the skinny middle-aged yamen servant, who was surprised for a moment and then came to his senses. He reached out to take the business document in Shunzi's hand, and took a look: "Qi's firm? Qi Fei?"

"It's our young master." Shunzi smiled apologetically.

After the incident in Yuan'an Town, the name of Qi's firm can no longer be used, and Qi Boyun's name can't be used even more.

And this business document of Qi's firm was obtained by Gu Qi when he left Yuan'an Town.

It is a small business firm, both from Yunzhou Prefecture, but it is a business firm in Sanchuan County.

Thinking about it, the real Qi Fei and Qi Shaodong, who had just survived a catastrophe, fled back to Sanchuan County overnight, regardless of whether the business documents were still on his body.

In the backward non-industrial era, there was no Internet system for inquiries, and there was no real-name photo registration.The skinny middle-aged yamen servant simply checked the official seal issued by the Sanchuan County government office on the document, and after confirming that it was correct, Gu Qiyi and the others let them into the city.

Before leaving, the middle-aged yamen servant kindly reminded Gu Qi and the others that most of the inns in the county were closed.

There is only a Yunlai inn in the east of the city, because the innkeeper is a native of Lushan County, and has not moved out since the drought.

Although the inn was not open as usual due to lack of business, the shopkeeper Ben had been living in the inn, as long as he went to knock the door, someone would come to open it.

Gu Qi and the others thanked the middle-aged yamen servant, and Shunzi, as usual, gave the middle-aged yamen servant a few pieces of silver.The only way is to invite the two poor masters to drink tea.

The middle-aged yamen servant hadn't encountered such a situation of being willing to give money for a long time, he was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and finally he silently held the broken silver in his palm.

It's not that he doesn't want to be an honest servant who follows the rules, it's just that life at home is hard. Although there is a lot of these scraps of silver, it's enough to exchange a few bags of coarse grain for two people.

*****
The territory of Lushan County is not small, and the area occupied by the county is not far behind that of the prosperous Yunzhong County, but if it is compared with the population, the population still living in Lushan County at this time is smaller than that of a small town of Hesong. Can't compare.

And because the territory of Lushan County is large enough, this small number of people spread out again. At this time, Gu Qi and others were walking on the wide bluestone long street, and they saw rows of commercial buildings on both sides of the long street. The doors of the shops are all closed. Although there are some scattered pedestrians on the road, compared with the wide street, it feels extremely deserted and desolate.

But even so, the streets in Lushan County are still very clean and tidy, presumably it is the result of the government sending special people to clean it every day.
