Jiang Nv is indescribable

Chapter 167 Food and Wine
Southland often classifies counties and towns as upper, middle and lower grades based on land, population, and wealth. Northland has not yet followed this example.

When it comes to rich and poor alone, Wu Xiong is undoubtedly inferior; when it comes to land, it is not so.

Although Wuxiong is located in a remote area, it occupies a large area, with a radius of more than 20 li, larger than the cities of some princes and kings, and it is already a very large county by the standards of the South.

Jiang Fosang asked Xiutu, Wuxiong County has more than [-] registered households, with a population of nearly [-], which is also the standard for a large county.Even so, the population and land are still somewhat inconsistent.

The reason, besides the vast land in the north, is that Wuxiong was originally a military city.

Like Qizhou, it has to face the intrusion of Hulu all year round. As the barrier and rear of Binzhou, in addition to food, grass and population, the most important thing is horses. It is reasonable to build a larger city.

Not only is it big, there are horse-grazing rivers in front of and behind the city, and the grass is fertile and watery in spring, which is especially suitable for breeding horses.

It was almost evening when they arrived, and there were very few pedestrians on the street. One of the city gate officials led them to the government office.

The government office faces south from the north, and follows the layout of the left Wen and the right military, with the front government office and the back bedroom.

There is a lighting wall in front of the yamen, bypassing the lighting wall, there are six entrance halls and five courtyards on the central axis, including the gate, the Yimen, the main hall, the house gate, the second hall, and the inner building.

Exiting the east side gate of the gate of the government office, there is a building in the east area. From south to north, there are land temples, east warehouses, curtain halls, and study rooms; there is also a building in the west area inside the gate. The barn and the west barn are the arresting hall in the middle, and the inner house behind the arresting hall.

In addition, there are warehouses, offices, etc., the master and slave are orderly, well-arranged, and the corridors are connected to form a seamless one.

It used to be green walls, gray tiles, and rich gates in Wuliang, but with the passing of time, the building has become mottled and old.But still much better than expected.

After entering the gate, the gate was still closed.

"Shangguan, stay later." The city gate official smiled attentively, "I have sent someone to inform the county magistrate, wait..."

Trek all the way, it's getting late, who waits patiently?Xiao Yuandu raised his hand to stop his chatter, and entered directly through the east corner gate.

The lobby is a place for litigation and trial.Behind the lobby is the second hall, which is a place for business meetings and meeting guests.

There is a house gate between the lobby and the second hall, the armory is on the east, and the shelf warehouse is on the west.On both sides of the house gate facing each other, there are guard rooms, which are the places where the gatekeepers take turns on duty day and night and stay in order to prevent idlers from entering.

As the throat leading to the inner house, the person on duty must of course be the county magistrate's cronies, not only for the purpose of conveying, but also for the responsibility of guarding.

Then there are three halls, which are the inner houses of the county magistrate and his family, which are also the daily living places.Behind the three halls is the back garden.

The corridors along the way are all made of bricks, but at the third hall they are replaced with bluestone ones.

After entering the gate of the courtyard and looking around, I can see that the main room is three rooms wide, the left and right side rooms are two rooms each, and the east and west corridor rooms are three rooms each, which is quite simple.

All the luggage was moved into the courtyard, including hers and Xiao Yuandu's.

Calamus asked for instructions: "My lady..."

Jiang Fusang glanced at Xiao Yuandu, just as Xiao Yuandu also looked at her.

Neither of them spoke.

Suddenly there was a sound of blowing and beating, from far to near.

Soon, the clerk of the second hall came to report that it was the county magistrate who asked to see him.

Xiao Yuandu frowned.At the moment when she was fighting with Jiang Nu, she didn't want to leave at this time.

"not see!"

"My lord," Xiutu reminded, "I'm afraid it would be wrong not to see you."

Xiao Yuandu was most annoyed by these red tapes, and wanted to call someone in to meet... Although he didn't really regard Jiang Nu as his female family member in his heart, he still didn't care about that.

He glanced sideways at Xiutu: "I'm going to rest when I come back."

He gritted his teeth and said this, and then left with a shake of his sleeves.

"..." Xiutu scratched his head.

The county magistrate, Fan Guang, was waiting in the second hall with a group of government officials. Seeing a tall figure from a distance, he bowed his head and said, "Welcome, Shangguan!"

After worshiping, Fan Guang straightened up and motioned to the musicians: "Go on! Go on!"

The drum music suddenly played, it was too abrupt and piercing, Xiao Yuandu's face turned dark immediately.

"What's this?"

"I have been looking forward to it for many days, and my neck has been stretched, so I am looking forward to the arrival of the Shangguan." Fan Guang said with a smile, "The Shangguan didn't know something. Two or three times. It's also a coincidence that today I was too busy with common affairs to go, but the Shangguan arrived today! It's really God's trick, and I deliberately made me regret it!"

Xiao Yuandu saw him chatting miscellaneously, all nonsense, and the noise in his ears was loud, so he said impatiently: "Let them stop!"

Fan Guang got the order, turned around quickly, raised his hands and pressed them down, the noise disappeared immediately.

Xiao Yuandu's face looked better, just a little.

"Okay, I'll see you again. If you have no business to do, hurry up and leave it until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Fan Guang hurriedly said: "Shangguan wait a moment, I have a word for humble officials."

Xiao Yuandu stopped, turned his arms half sideways, raised his chin, and signaled him to fart quickly.

"It's like this. In order to welcome Shangguan, I have waited for a long time. The shengxiao, drum and music are all prepared early. I should have opened the door to welcome Shangguan into the yamen to show grandeur. Who would have thought..." Fan Guang chuckled, "Shangguan You are sympathetic to us, and you will not notify me in advance when you arrive at your post. The lowly officials have to show their filial piety, and they have already held a banquet in the largest restaurant in the city, and invited the Shangguan to attend the banquet."

"Oh?" Xiao Yuandu raised his hand and stroked his chin, "The biggest restaurant? What's in it?"

Seeing him like this, Fan Guang thought there was a connection, his two broom eyebrows were as excited as earthworms, and he approached him and said, "It's a restaurant, delicious food and wine. Naturally, it's also indispensable..."

Regarding the character of the new county magistrate, Fan Guang had already inquired thoroughly, and in order to please him, he took great pains.

If it is an ordinary person, it is naturally not worth him.But this is the assassin!Although it is heard that he is not very favored in the mansion, at least he has a reputation. If he pleases him, the benefits will not be less.

When we met for the first time, it was not easy to speak too explicitly.The click ended, followed by a series of subtle laughter that men can understand.

When he smiled, the crowd behind him also laughed.

Xiao Yuandu also twitched the corners of his mouth, seeming to be interested.

Fan Guang laughed harder, and stretched out his hand as a petition: "Shangguan, let's go."

After the words fell, Xiao Yuandu stopped smiling and suddenly changed his face.But it doesn't seem to be angry, it just has no expression, which makes people unable to figure it out.

Just when a group of people were trembling, he yawned: "Go yourselves, I'm tired today."

"Can--"

Xiao Yuandu turned around, pointed to Fan Guang, and the drummers: "Take them all away, don't take your head if you ring again."

Fan Guang only felt a chill on his neck, and when he raised his eyes again, the figure had gone away.

"This..." A courtier approached and asked, "What does Shangguan mean?"

Fan Guang thought for a while, slapped his forehead, and suddenly realized: "The timing is not right today!"

Shangguan has been exhausted all the way, how can he be interested?Try again another day, it will work!
