After evacuating the enemy's warehouse, carry supplies through the disaster year

Chapter 52 Xin'an County

"Hahaha, it's still like that!

It is rare to have the opportunity to wear this kind of clothes. After breakfast, Brother Wang's boat and I went to Xin'an County.

The remaining brothers have worked hard, and each will be rewarded with two taels of silver for their hard work. "

The noble Ziyu clasped her fists at the people around her, wanting them to work harder, how can she be motivated without money.

"Thank you, young master, for your generosity!"

A group of boatmen yelled that two taels of silver was equivalent to their monthly wages.

There are delicious food and money to get. No one wants to lag behind, and they all scramble to work first.

...

"Cheng Yuanju, come here!" Ziyu raised her head and roared, the image of the noble young master disappeared instantly.

"Hahaha, little brother just opened his mouth and revealed his stuff!"

Feeling the coldness of the difference in status, I suddenly let go of the discomfort in my heart.

"Hehe, I almost forgot what it was like before.

Living freely is much more free than the days when there were rules everywhere.

Many things, what the world sees are just appearances. "

"Little brother, your words are too profound, I don't understand!"

Leng Dayou scratched his head, he couldn't turn his head around, so he simply didn't worry about it.

"Master, what are your orders for the younger one?"

Cheng Yuanju, with his trousers rolled up high, came over with a bucket full of freshly picked fish and shrimp.

"Cheng Yuanju, take Xiao Luo and the children with you."

"Yes, Master!"

Ziyu arranged for Xiao Luo, and those who had breakfast each brought a large bowl or stood or squatted.

Facing the sparkling Daxia Bay, the red sun above the head, the gentle sea breeze in the early morning in front, and the cool wind blowing from the valley behind.

Ziyu saw that Shengxing and his son were waiting on the side early, wearing cotton clothes that had been soaked twice, one blue and one blue were more decent.

Ziyu led the way to Wang Xingwang's boat, followed by Shengxing and his son.

"Brother, come back soon!

Xiao Luo will miss you, I won't cry! "Xiao Luo, who was being carried by Cheng Yuanju, shouted in a small voice, waving her small hands vigorously.

"Okay, brother will be back in a few days, wait for me obediently!" Ziyu waved with her back to prevent the little guy from seeing her face.

Otherwise, you will lose the golden beans again.

The boat left Daxia Bay under the gaze of everyone, and the gentle sea opened its heart to accept the group of outsiders.

The people with two taels of silver hanging on them enthusiastically devoted themselves to the construction of the valley.

...

Xin'an County.

The rolling mountains separate Daxia Bay from Xin'an County, as if they are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

The boat detoured around the surrounding mountains, traveled from the edge of Dujiang Mansion along the Dujiang River, passed through one city and one town, and then arrived at Xin'an County.

The county seat under the jurisdiction of Kaner Village.

Xin'an County is built on the mountain, and the stones on the city wall are full of vicissitudes of time.

Moss on the outer walls can be seen everywhere, and the streets paved with stone slabs are uneven. Sitting in a carriage is undoubtedly the same as the jumping car of later generations.

There is a different feeling!

The houses on both sides of the street are mostly stone walls, with tiles, slates, and even bark on the roof.

The main street, which can only be passed by a carriage, is the only main street in Xin'an County.

Occasionally there are one or two branch alleys, which are narrow, and you have to walk sideways to carry a burden.

If you don't pay attention, you will receive a pot poured out from the small door, with vegetable leaves or dirty water.

On the street at noon, the door of the shop was half closed, and two old dogs were lying under the eaves, baring their teeth at a group of people on the street.

...

Ziyu and the others stopped in front of the yamen with a gap. The tall wooden door could no longer see the color of the paint, and it was densely dotted with insect eyes.

The complaining drum leaning against the wall had a conspicuous opening, leaving only one Guchui.

Judging from the full tiles on the roof, this is the best building in Xin'an County.

But the weeds on the roof have taken root and sprouted, leaving their descendants.

Ziyu took out an ordinary black purse from her sleeve pocket, half of the bag of broken silver made a crisp crashing sound when shaking it.

Sweet and beautiful!
Exudes the corrosive smell of money!

"Shengxing, go in and make an announcement, and say that the Lord of Daxia Castle is visiting." The self-proclaimed Ziyu opened her mouth and came.

"Master, wait a moment, I'll go right away!"

Sheng Xing took the silver bag, swept his left and right sleeves, and proudly pushed open the varnished wooden door with his hands behind his back.

"Little brother, you housekeeper can do it!" Wang Xingwang whispered.

His vision of Ziyu is becoming more and more admirable, and in time, it is really possible for him to toss out a paradise.

Opportunities will be fleeting.

Wang Xingwang became more determined in his inner plan, if he loses, he will start all over again.

"Hehe, who told me to be discerning!" Ziyu said proudly.

Sheng Xuelin, who followed two steps behind the two, lowered his head and smiled. His father used to be the second housekeeper of a wealthy family.

If he hadn't been framed, he would have had the chance to be the chief steward.

...

Before it was time for a bowl of tea, an old man with a gray beard came out with Sheng Xing.

The blue shirt on her body was washed and faded, although there was no patch, Ziyu looked not far away.

"Master, this is Jia Shuli of the county government.

After the county magistrate knew your intentions, he sent Jia Shuli to invite you in for a detailed discussion. "

"Hello, Jia Shuli, I'm sorry!" Ziyu cupped her hands and said hello to the old man in front of her.

"Castle Master, please!"

After a few rounds of politeness, Ziyu walked with Jia Shuli at the same time, and without anyone noticing, she handed Jia Shuli a small silver ingot of five taels.

The old hand tightly grasped the hard lump that suddenly appeared in the hand. The texture and shape made Jia Shuli's old heart skip a beat.

"Castle Master, be careful on the threshold!" Jia Shuli suppressed his voice and reminded with the most gentle words.

"Scribes, please watch your step!"

The luxuriously dressed son, with a modest tone, was completely different from the noble son Jia Shuli knew.

He held the silver ingot in his hand, and the balance in his heart began to tilt.

Ziyu, who crossed the threshold, glanced at the poor office, and said to herself, no wonder she would send scribes to greet her.

In the office of the county magistrate, there is not a single piece of decent furniture, either the paint is peeled off or the legs are missing.

Even the pattern on the chest of the official uniform of the county magistrate is blurred. This is probably the poorest county magistrate in history.

Along the way, I didn't even see a yamen servant, which is too poor.

Ziyu was a little worried about whether the next thing would be completed smoothly.

"Castle Master, please sit down!"

The county magistrate Zhang Yuansi warmly greeted Ziyu. This was the first time he met someone who wanted to buy mountain land since he took office.

It must not be let go, the county government has been so poor that it has not paid wages for three years.

"The Lord of Daxia Castle has met the magistrate!"

Ziyu cupped her hands neither humble nor overbearing, flung her robe and carefully sat on a mended chair.

She didn't even dare to use too much strength, for fear that the public would come down and squat down, and it would be embarrassing.

"I heard that Fort mainly buys mountain land, but I don't know which one I want.

Jia Shuli, go and get the county map and let the Lord of the Purple Castle choose it! "

The county magistrate Zhang couldn't wait, and before he sat down, he asked the clerk to display the map, just to keep the big buyer of Ziyu.
