playful peasant girl

Chapter 84
Deciding to go to the state capital, Xia Lan could only hurry up and sort out the remaining account books.In addition to the account books, the restaurant industry in Qingshui has to be arranged. After all, it may take a long time to go to the state capital this time.Xia Lan also invited the principals of several restaurants over, and these people were all confidantes, so Xia Lan made it clear to them.

It is really tiring to toss and turn.And the time of departure has arrived.

Dongxu Kingdom once discovered a huge riot in 397 Eastern Calendar, which was mainly caused by the powerful vassals rebelling because they did not want to obey the imperial court at that time.

In 401 Eastern Calendar, after the newly enthroned Dongxu Emperor Chongping put down the rebellion, he promulgated a reform edict, and a major change occurred in the administrative region.

This division of administrative regions is still in use today.The reason why Qingshui County calls it a "small county" is not only because of its low administrative level, but also because of its remote and backward geographical location.

The entire Linzhou capital is long and narrow. Qingshui County is located in the southernmost part of the state capital, with mountains and waters, and the state capital is closer to the capital.This canine-toothed regional division principle has indeed played a big role in weakening the local economic and cultural identity and preventing the separatism of the feudal government, but it is also more inconvenient in terms of transportation.

Xia Lan started from Qingshui, and it would take at least five days if she traveled day and night in a carriage, and half a month if she traveled slowly.

The last time Feng Yang received Xia Lan's letter and rushed back overnight and half a day, it was also because he happened to be doing business in Huarong City, which saved half of the journey, and he was in a hurry.

This time, Xia Lan was not in a hurry to go to the state capital, so she naturally chose to move forward slowly, taking a tour of the mountains and rivers by the way.

In order to reduce the bumps, the carriage only passed through Luochuan City, a county town, in the evening.

The sun was already in the west, Xia Lan asked the coachman to stop at a nearby town for a night's rest.

It is estimated that Xia Lan has opened Baiweiju in most towns in Qingshui County, and usually lives in her own restaurant, so she doesn't feel much uncomfortable.

Xia Lan chose the best inn and asked for the best room, but she still felt that the conditions were a bit crude and not clean enough.

It was just one night, and after dinner early in the morning, Xia Lan really didn't want to stay longer at the inn.

Going north from Luochuan City, there is a section of the official road with mountains on both sides, and there are a lot of bandits. Xia Lan heard from Feng Yang that there are more than a dozen bandit villages in that section.

The carriage went further to the section where there were more bandits.But Xia Lan didn't worry too much. Under the guidance of Sui Yan, her swordsmanship has been practiced for a period of time, and she has improved by leaps and bounds, even the bandits in this area are no problem.

Xia Haoxuan was a little bored, so Xia Lan walked all the way and told him the customs and customs along the way.

"Sister, are there really bandits on this official road?" Xia Haoxuan asked a little excitedly.

"Yes, there must be," Xia Lan replied somewhat helplessly.If other people's children are rushing like this, they will be very frightened when they hear that there are bandits. There is no one like him, who is not afraid and is very excited.

"Then why haven't we met until now?" Xia Haoxuan hadn't seen what the Bandit looked like, and he was looking forward to it.

"Probably because we were lucky." Xia Lan was also quite puzzled. According to what Feng Yang said, his carriage had been driving on the official road for a long time, and there was no movement at all. It was indeed a bit abnormal.

Could it be that the bandits are resting today and don't have to go to work, Xia Lan's absurd guess.
