Chapter 2137 Shocking 2142
Not only Wu Hua, but everyone else in the team suddenly felt like they had become rich.

But everyone looked at these common people in Ancheng, and felt very sympathetic in their hearts, and took out their purses one after another, and gave them to those beggars.

Every beggar was overjoyed when he got a copper coin, and the people who watched it were very sad.

The carriage drove all the way from the outside of the city to the city gate. Su Li saw the city wall, and this was the first time he saw a decent brick building.

The city walls of Ancheng are not badly repaired, not as good as the capital city, but they are not too dilapidated.

Entering Ancheng, the dirt roads are much less, at least you can see bluestone slabs on the streets, and the shops on both sides look much more tidy, but they are still full of depression.

The poverty of Ancheng is shocking.

Su Li looked at everything beside the street and became even more silent.

According to Su Li's book, the geographical location of Ancheng is very good in the southeast area. It is on a large plain, surrounded by eight rivers, and has abundant water resources.

And because Ancheng is located on a large plain, the area of ​​cultivated land is very large and the land is fertile.

Logically speaking, in a city with such a geographical location, the people should not be so poor. Even if they only cultivated the land, the food on the plain would be enough for the people to live a prosperous life.

But on the contrary, the road in Ancheng is full of yellow-faced, emaciated and malnourished people, and the city can be a little better.

"Why is this Ancheng like this!?" Wu Hua clicked his tongue several times.

Su Li raised his eyes to look at her, and said, "A city is located in a plain grain-producing area, but the people are so poor. What do you think is the reason?"

"I think..." Wu Hua's eyes flashed, showing resentment.

Su Li looked very calm on the surface, with a calm expression, just hugging Xiao Changan, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

"Turn a corner ahead and you'll be the Sheriff's Mansion!" the stevedore said to Lin Siyu.

The convoy turned a corner, and what came into view was a magnificent mansion.

The tall courtyard walls, the vermilion gate, and the mansion's defense wall, as tall and strong as a city wall, all showed the wealth and power of the owner of the mansion.

Su Li raised his eyes and looked at the Sheriff's Mansion, with a look of anger flashing across his eyes.

Wu Hua is a straightforward person, and he said it directly: "The people are poor and hungry, and the city is so dilapidated, but this county guard's mansion is so magnificent, even more grand than the Qin Palace in the capital. The dog surnamed Zhao Officer, it must not be a good thing! I know why Ancheng is so dilapidated and impoverished. It turns out that there is such a moth that eats people's fat and people's ointment raw!"

The convoy stopped, and Su Li got out of the carriage. Seeing that the stevedore who led the way was coming all the way, the sandals on his feet were all worn out, so he rewarded him with an extra ten Wen and said, "Thank you for leading the way. Let the family buy some delicious food and a pair of shoes to wear."

Holding the money, the stevedore thanked Su Li so much that he was on the verge of tears, and said, "Oh, I'm really lucky to have been cultivated for several lifetimes, and I met a female Bodhisattva today!"

Wu Hua said from the side: "What female Bodhisattva, this is our Queen Qin!"

"Queen Qin? What is Queen Qin?" The stevedore was at a loss, apparently hearing the name of Queen Qin for the first time.

Wu Hua snorted and said, "Don't you know that the imperial court assigned Ancheng to the feudal prince Qin Wang Xiao Zetian? Didn't Governor Zhao announce this news to you?"

The stevedore shook his head, and said, "What princes, King Qin? We haven't heard of it. Mr. Zhao didn't say anything."
