No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 564 Come to the door!

Qu Tiange didn't know that his unintentional actions broke a girl's heart, and a group of five people checked into the best inn in Huaizhou City with a clear goal.

While eating in the inn, Luo Junyao got a better understanding of what Luo Jinyan and Su Rui had done in Huaizhou in recent years.

Although every time Luo Jinyan wrote letters to his family, he always reported good news but not bad news, but Luo Junyao was not a fool, so it was impossible for him not to know how difficult it is to govern a barren frontier.

If Luo Jinyan just wanted to be a peace officer, then it would be no big deal.This kind of place is that the more you want to do something, the more difficult life will be.

Both Huaizhou and Ningzhou are bordered by the southern border. The south of Ningzhou is still close to the sea, while Huaizhou is really inland.

Not only that, Huaizhou is separated from the surrounding areas by mountains, and the roads are so steep that people can't wait to recite "The Difficult Road to Shu" on the spot.

This place is not only barren and remote, but also a gathering place of various ethnic groups.A large part of the residents of Huaizhou have integrated with Southern Xinjiang, and the relationship with Southern Xinjiang is also inextricably linked.

Therefore, the previous governors of Huaining, even if they were not the kind of vegetarians, they could only do their best to maintain it.

When Luo Jinyan first arrived in southern Xinjiang, he encountered joint resistance from the Huaizhou officialdom and the local rich.

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows, "Does Qu Tiange have acquaintances in Huaizhou?"

Governing the region is not something that can be accomplished overnight. In the past two years, the two have discussed the governance of the two states of Huaining and even southern Xinjiang many times in the correspondence with Luo Jinyan.A few days ago, he also had a lot of discussions with Luo Jinyan in southern Xinjiang.

It's just that these notes were suppressed by Xie Yan.

Luo Jun shook his chin and leaned against him, nodded and said, "I understand what you mean."

The girl was like her own heart being thrown into the half-eaten bowl of noodles, and she cried so hard that she couldn't help herself on the spot.

Yao Yao is right, Luo Jinyan will stay in Huaizhou for a long time to come.

The young man proudly said: "It is a glass bell inlaid with three-color gemstones that my father bought at a high price from a foreign businessman in the early years."

Of course, this also has disadvantages, that is, it is easy for military commanders to support themselves.

Today that girl threw her purse at Qu Tiange from upstairs, although it was a bit simple and rude, it was not considered a bad manner.

"No wonder Big Brother and Sister A Rui haven't had time to go back to the capital these few years, they are really busy." Luo Junyao couldn't help but praise after hearing the deeds of Master Luo and his wife from the outside.

That really deserved Qu Tiange's bad luck, if it was a diamond, there would never be such a problem.

In just over three years, the official circles in Huaizhou were awe-inspiring, and the taxes and corvees of the people were much lighter.The construction of dredging water conservancy has increased the grain income a lot, and the people's lives are better, so they naturally recognize Luo Jinyan as a parent official.

Luo Jinyan obviously understood what Xie Yan meant, and he has been working hard for it in the past few years.

"Why didn't it happen?" Luo Junyao stood up and said, "Where is Qu Tiange going? I want him to come out and ask if this happened. We won't take the blame."

Many officials came forward, thinking that Luo Jinyan was in power in Huai and Ning, and the punishment was too harsh. If things go on like this, the people will surely complain.

At that time, she was indeed impulsive and threw things down.

"..."

What he and Doiying saw with their own eyes, Mr. Qu didn't even move his eyes, and the little thing was sent flying with a wave of his hand.

Luo Junyao walked into a large room in the front yard of the inn, and there were indeed several people sitting in it.

That's not as simple as falling somewhere, it must be smashed directly.

As for the reason, officials in the Huaizhou official circles believe that Luo Jinyan did not pass the imperial examination and obtained this position through the nepotism of the regent princess.The local wealthy bullied Luo Jinyan to be young, and he had never had any experience in managing places before.

Luo Jun shook for a moment and fell into Xie Yan's arms.

Luo Junyao sat up and looked towards the door, Xiying walked over from outside with a very tangled expression on his face.

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "The people you are looking for are not here right now, we are together, it's the same if you tell me in advance if you have anything."

"I feel that Big Brother and Sister A Rui won't be able to go back to Shangyong in a short time." Luo Jun shook his head.

If elder brother stays in the northwest to replace father in command of the Dingguo army, he will surely have a share in the fight against the Qi clan in the future.But these few years will be delayed, and there is still the second brother, and the Luo family's twins are stationed in the northwest at the same time in peacetime, which is really a waste of talent.

The rule in their clan is that when a girl is 15 years old, she embroiders a purse by herself, and the purse contains the girl's birthday and a gift from her parents when she was just born.If there is a man in his fancy, he will give the purse as a gift. If the man accepts the purse, it means agreeing to get married.

As for Luo Jinyan's previous military exploits... what does that have to do with the local officials?Besides, Luo Jinyan said that his father is Luo Yun, who knows what's going on?

If Luo Jinyan can manage the two prefectures of Huaining and even pacify southern Xinjiang, this feat will far exceed what he can achieve in the Northwest battlefield.

If you ignore it or return the purse immediately, that's fine.

There is a reason why the imperial court likes to use military generals or officials with general backgrounds to govern the border areas. Ordinary civil servants are literati who have obtained scholars through the imperial examination. At this time, it is difficult for military generals to make decisions.

Luo Junyao sighed, and said: "Well, I can't make the decision for him. I have sent someone to find him and come back. Let's confirm the situation at that time later and discuss how to deal with it later?"

Luo Jun shook his hands and said, "That's why I said, let's discuss it after he comes back and confirm it. But if you don't care, you can also tell me, if the matter is confirmed, what kind of result can you accept?"

After finally struggling to get up, he said puzzledly, "Qu Tiange...broke someone else's purse? Even if it is true, it's not like he's going to die. How about we accompany him?"

"This, this..." The young man looked at the others impatiently, and said, "In short, your people broke things, right?"

Seeing Luo Junyao push the door open and come in, those who were still saying this immediately stopped talking and all looked at Luo Junyao.

Luo Junyao couldn't help sighing inwardly when he remembered what he had just settled before he came in.

Xiying said: "Young Master Qu has gone to the Governor's Mansion Yamen, and he should not be back for a while. Then... the subordinates let them go first?" It's not unreasonable for a group of people to block outside the door, and those who don't know think they have done something What an outrageous thing.

Luo Junyao coughed lightly, and couldn't help asking: "May I ask, what is in this girl's purse?"

Even so, there were still incidents where some local wealthy clans relied on their deep foundations to resist with force, but Luo Jinyan calmed them down with lightning speed.

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Young Master, where did you start talking about this?"

Xiying said: "I'm afraid, it won't work."

Luo Junyao also had some impressions of this matter, after all, the government did not kill people casually.

When I took back the purse and found that the contents inside were broken, I didn't know what to do.

The people in Huaizhou talked about these things with great interest, as if they were telling stories. It is hard to say whether there is any mythological element in it.

The woman was a little displeased, and said: "Madam suspects that we will blame and slander that young master? Our Hu family is also a well-known family in Huaizhou, how could..."

A couple in their fifties, a middle-aged man in his early thirties and a boy in his sixteen or seventeen years old, and a young girl was nestled in the woman's arms.These five people were all sitting, and standing beside them were three servant girl-like people.

"What do you mean Ma'am?" The whole family looked at Luo Junyao with displeasure in their eyes.

Luo Jun shook his eyes and blinked, "Don't you think that my elder brother's achievements on the battlefield may not be as good as my father and you?"

Xiying sighed inwardly, and said: "I'm afraid it's true. I heard from people outside that purses are very important to the girls here. Without purses, it's difficult for girls to marry in the future."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "That...things like glazed bells are so important, they should be protected well. This girl threw it from the upstairs rashly. If it fell directly to the ground... the streets of Huaizhou City are all bluestone pavement , what shall we do then?"

Glass, glass!

According to Douying, Qu Tiange didn't put in much effort, so it shouldn't be broken, right?

Various ethnic groups live in Huaizhou. The family looks the same as the people from the Central Plains, but they are actually aboriginals living in the northwest of Huaizhou.

But the customs and customs of each place are different, everyone can say something, and the most important thing is to be able to actually implement it.

On the other hand, Luo Jinyan didn't just focus on his own three-acre land. He also advocated the construction of roads from other places, the introduction of foreign businessmen, and encouraged the people of Huaining and Ningzhou to produce some food without affecting the food. Goods with high value.Today, there are more than half of foreign businessmen in Huaizhou City than before.

Xie Yan took her hand and sat down in the yard, saying: "The general's achievements on the battlefield depend not only on his own ability and talent, but also on the battlefield and the enemy. In terms of position, it is hard to say that he is not as good as us. But now... there is really not much room for him to play. Dasheng has many generals who can conquer the battlefield and pacify the northwest, but there are no talents who can govern Huaining and pacify the southern border .”

"Could it be that they hide and dare not see people?" The boy couldn't help but asked.

Even the girl couldn't help raising her head and looked at Luo Junyao.

But when it comes to Luo Jinyan's governance in Huaizhou in the past few years, it is much more careful and reliable. After all, these are things that can be seen with eyes.

Xie Yan didn't answer, just raised his hand to caress her hair.

The same woman coughed lightly and said, "Who is this... madam?" Madam had never met Luo Junyao before, but her heart sank when she saw that she did not look like an unmarried girl.

The young man blushed, but he couldn't help but said: "Your family broke my sister's purse, didn't you want to take responsibility so you avoided it on purpose?"

When the girl heard the words, she also lowered her head with a flushed face, covered her face and sobbed softly.

In short, when Luo Jinyan first arrived in Huaizhou, the situation was quite difficult.

Luo Junyao's appearance is one of the best even in Shangyong, let alone in a place like Huaizhou.

In their family, this gadget that has been with a woman since she was born symbolizes everything about a woman.Life, purity, parental love, etc., in short, without this thing, it just doesn't work.

But Luo Jinyan was not in a hurry, nor did he challenge everyone.Instead, he took Su Rui together to inspect various places in Liangzhou, Huaining.Just when the officials in the officialdom and the local wealthy family thought that Luo Jinyan was being discouraged, Mr. Luo followed the general's crisp and neat style and invited a large group of officials and wealthy families to the governor's yamen.

Xie Yan said with a smile: "I said before that to be a general is to be inferior."

If everything goes well, Luo Junyao feels that her elder brother may become the most indispensable figure in the history of Dasheng Southwest in the future.

Luo Jun shook his head to look at Xie Yan, Xie Yan said: "Ask Qu Tiange to solve it by himself."

Xi Ying said: "Go back to madam, outside... A group of people came outside, saying yes, saying they are looking for Mr. Qu."

Throwing all kinds of criminal evidence collected on the ground, those who should be demoted from officials, and those who should be decapitated, completely stunned the local snakes in Huaining and Ningxia.

So these officials turned to discussing that the regent is partial to his brother-in-law, so he can always find reasons to impeach people from various angles.

But the bad thing was that with Qu Tiange's wave, the purse fell into the noodle bowl, and the contents inside were smashed.

When he came back to his senses, the things were already out of his hands, and after seeing Qu Tiange's merciless gesture, he had already lost his purse.

Luo Junyao waved his hands weakly and said, "Forget it, I'll go and have a look first."

It is because of Luo Jinyan's thunderous means that Huaizhou has lived a lot of life, and the various decrees that Luo Jinyan implemented afterwards can be implemented.

Could it be someone's wife?

Of course, people don't really want to buy and sell by force, and if they hit it, they have to marry.

Everyone forgot their words for a moment, and the young man blushed instantly, lowering his head and not daring to look at her.

Dasheng has never been short of famous generals, but what it lacks are famous ministers who can govern the country.

While the two were talking, there was a commotion outside.

Luo Jun said: "Madam misunderstood, I didn't mean it. It's just that I wasn't there at the time, but I really couldn't make the decision for him to admit or promise anything. In addition, I think... Ling Qianjin was a little too impulsive."

What Luo Jinyan did was nothing more than dispatching garrisons to reclaim wasteland, build and dredge water conservancy, and clean up officialdom. These seem to be things that a good official would do.

"Xiying, what's the matter?" Luo Junyao asked in confusion.

Xi Ying quickly shook his head, and said with a strange expression: "The other party said... Mr. Qu broke their girl's purse, and the girl is going to commit suicide now. I want Mr. Qu, give me an explanation?"

The execution of criminals in various places needs to be reported to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for approval. Even if the governor has some powers to make decisions on the spot, he needs to report afterwards.In Luo Jinyan's first year in Huaizhou, the number of people reported by the governor's yamen of Huaizhou was the largest in Dasheng, and it caused a lot of discussion in the court at that time.

The middle-aged man said: "Let him marry my sister."

"Cough cough." Luo Junyao couldn't help coughing, raised his head and looked at the speaker in astonishment, "Marry, marry your sister?"

Don't play so big, right?
"Ma'am." Xiying knocked on the door, "Young Master Qu is back."

Luo Junyao quickly sat upright, maintaining his posture, "Let him in."
