Chapter 198 Li Zhou really is hell mode!
What the stationmaster Feng said made Bai Zhiqing not know how to answer.

If you say that he is old, it seems a bit hurtful; but if you comfortably say that he is not old, it goes against your heart and no one believes.

Whoops!
However, his words really shocked Bai Zhiqing deeply.

To be precise, Bai Zhiqing was frightened by him.

There is no one in the world who is not afraid of old age. Bai Zhiqing in the previous life may not be afraid. After all, the interstellar medical technology is developed. Although the internal organs of human beings are dying, their appearance can be kept young by medical means.

But in this life, Bai Zhiqing was afraid, and after having a beloved wife, he was even more afraid of aging.He hopes that he will always be charming in front of the lady, not only internally, but also externally.

From the moment he was appointed by the emperor as the magistrate of Aba County, Bai Zhiqing was constantly told how terrifying Lizhou was, but he didn't care.

Bai Zhiqing didn't really understand how terrifying this so-called terror really was until he saw Station Master Feng and his appearance of premature aging.

"Station Master Feng, what happened in the past 20 years? It made you look a little more anxious than your peers."

"Hahaha~ Mr. Bai is really good at talking, I don't think I'm in a hurry for the appearance of Xiaguan at 01:30!"

Station Master Feng smiled and began to sigh.

"My body is ruined by the miasma here! The place chosen for this Insect Ming Post Station is not good. Every day from Hai Shi to the beginning of the morning, the area around the post station will be filled with miasma for dozens of miles.

That thing can hurt people. Although it won't kill you immediately if you inhale it, it can hurt your body. Over time, I will become like this.Lord Bai should now know why there are so few postmen in this insect-singing station, right?

Except for those who are really desperate, who would be willing to come to such a poor place, not to mention the people from the Central Plains, not even the natives of Lizhou are willing to come here to make money.If I hadn't made a mistake and was demoted to this place, I wouldn't want to come. "

The more he talked, the more saddened he became. A few years before he first came here, he also brought his wife and children along with Bai Zhiqing, but after staying at the station for a while, he found that this place was not suitable for living.

His wife and children had already moved to live in a county town dozens of miles away from here, but as the postmaster, he was not allowed to leave his post without permission, and could only stay here for a long time.

His family came to visit him occasionally, once a month, like a prison visit.

Fortunately, his family moved away from the inn early, and they were not poisoned by the miasma here. Now his son stands in front of him and looks like a different generation. The two look like grandfather and grandson instead of father and son.

Listening to the words of Station Master Feng, Bai Zhiqing's face was solemn, and he sighed, "This miasma is so powerful!"

If I had known that he would not be staying at the Insect Ming Inn tonight, it would have been great to rush out of this miasma for dozens of miles.

The stationmaster Feng reassured: "Master Bai, don't worry too much. You only stay here for one night, and the impact will not be great. Moreover, miasma mostly occurs in the forests on the outskirts of the mountains, and it is not common in the county towns and villages. Every year, it only occurs in spring and summer. Occasionally a miasma appeared in the city."

Director Feng's words didn't give Bai Zhiqing much relief. Even for one night, he didn't want to stay any longer. Since he got on well with his wife, he cared more and more about his body and appearance.

Whether men or women, as long as they truly fall in love, they will be happy for themselves!

It's just that it's already dark at this hour, and it's not appropriate to travel at night. No matter what, you have to settle here tonight.

Now that you have come, let's inquire more about Lizhou's situation from the mouth of the stationmaster Feng.

Bai Zhiqing frowned slightly and asked, "Director Feng, what else should Lizhou pay more attention to besides the miasma?"

Corporal Bai Zhiqing Lixian's humble attitude pleased the stationmaster Feng, and the already open chatterbox was even more open.

The stationmaster Feng restrained his expression and said seriously: "There are many things that need to be paid attention to in Lizhou. This miasma alone is a knowledge. The miasma around the insect repelling station is not fatal, and it does not mean that the miasma in other places is also the same. Some The poisonous gas is lingering in the mountains and forests, and if you smell it, you will die. Therefore, after Lord Bai takes office, if you can leave the county town, then don’t leave the county town.”

Can you not leave the county without leaving the county?

Bai Zhiqing seemed to understand why the officials in Lizhou either died quickly, or they just didn't do anything.

If you go out to do things, you may be poisoned to death; if you stay at home, you can save your life, but you can't make political achievements.

Dilemma!
Lizhou really is hell mode!
Seeing Bai Zhiqing's dignified expression, the stationmaster Feng seemed to be frightened by him. A subtle sense of pride rose in his heart that he couldn't even explain himself, and he stretched out two fingers.

"Second, learn savage language as soon as possible. Barbarians don't speak Mandarin, only savage language. The language barrier can easily lead to misunderstandings. These savages are not like me, they are sullen and irritable, and they often shout and kill. The way they solve the misunderstanding is to fight. , shot that ruthless, scaring people to death."

Bai Zhiqing nodded, but he was not afraid of this. With his skills, it was hard to find a rival in the world.

Station Master Feng stretched out his third finger, "Third, be careful with the people from the Central Plains living in Lizhou. Many of these people are desperate desperadoes who fled here to escape the punishment of the law. Barbarians are even scarier!"

After talking about the third point, Station Master Feng paused, seeing that Bai Zhiqing did not show any timidity, he always felt that the words made no sense, so he stretched out his fourth finger and said in a low voice.

"Fourth, Lizhou is mostly mountainous, and there are ferocious beasts everywhere. These beasts will occasionally come down the mountain to attack people. Even in the county town, you should pay more attention."

All five fingers came out into palms, and Station Master Feng smiled.

"Fifth, after you take office, you have to open the fields and grow crops as soon as possible to support your family. Although the imperial court will issue stipends, they are paid once a year, and sometimes they are not distributed in time.

Bai Zhiqing was puzzled, "The grain from the field tax every year is not enough to pay for the salary?"

The stationmaster Feng shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation as the stationmaster of the station. All I know is that the salary paid to me every year is either too little or too late. , I'm afraid I'd already starved to death."

Thinking that Bai Zhiqing's family still brought their servants, and thinking that the family was quite rich, Station Manager Feng was afraid that Bai Zhiqing would not take what he said seriously, and continued.

"Also, barbarians don't know how to do business, and barter between clansmen will not be exchanged for us Central Plains people. Even if you are an official, it is not easy to spend money to buy food from them."

"If Master Bai is the magistrate of Lisong County, you can still let people go to avoid Songgui County to buy food, but you are also afraid of robbers on the road. But you are the magistrate of Aba County. Lizhou is the southwest of Daqing, while Aba is the county magistrate of Aba County. It is the southwest of Lizhou, it is the most corner of the land, it is not easy to buy food."

Speaking of which, Director Feng's eyes were full of sympathy for Bai Zhiqing, but this life is ruined for a good Tanhua Lang to be sent to such a dangerous and impoverished place!

Station Master Feng sighed deeply.

"The last point is to think about it, otherwise, if you weren't poisoned, beaten, bitten, or starved to death, you might end yourself up."

The voice was slightly floating, and these words seemed to drift into the forest with the summer breeze, scattered in the world.
