I have the best bloodline.

"Lao Chen, everything is settled, and the holidays have been approved, and one batch has been approved for us for more than half a year. As long as we complete the handover of the official duties at hand, we can go on vacation!"

"Is there such a good thing?"

The first and second leaders of the Flower City Government Office had uncontrollable expressions of ecstasy on their cheeks: "You didn't lie to me, did you?"

With that said, the county magistrate also came forward to read the contents of the envelope.

Su Yan: "."

Are you two taking things too far? It's different from those in Xia Yucheng who would die if they couldn't do it!

Chapter 164 Why work so hard!

"It's really not easy for you. You were assigned to our Flower City for training."

The county magistrate took off his official uniform and felt refreshed. He looked at Su Yan and his entourage with regret on his face and said, "Our only job here every day is to clean the city and clean up the bodies of people who died on the roadside. There is no merit. I caught it for you.”

"Forget it, let's not talk about those disappointing things. Today is your first day in Flower City. Let me personally lead you to experience the local customs!"

"Are clans and tribes really that powerful?" Su Yan asked with a face full of surprise and uncertainty.

"Fellow Taoists, please come this way."

The county magistrate invited everyone to take a seat in the inner hall, and then asked the government officials to go to the street market to buy some special products. Then in the evening, a banquet was held directly at the official office to entertain the Taoist friends who came from the main city of the Xia Yu Dynasty to be the culprits.

"It's not that they are so powerful. The Red King is the ruler in the Red King's fiefdom. It's just that you are busy fighting the war with the Eternal Life Sect and the southern Xinjiang tribes, so you don't have time to manage these newly built cities."

The county magistrate waited until everyone was seated, then said with a wry smile: "We are outsiders, and we are also outsiders with poor cultivation. How can the local clans and tribes look down on us?"

"As long as the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are paid on time every year, the Red King will treat our flowers. Well, in a word, you are just rich young men who come here to hang out. Don't have a serious conflict with the local clan in one day."

"I don't want to know your backgrounds. We are just passers-by who share a relationship with each other. No matter how powerful your family becomes, it will be you who will be beaten in a second. No matter how cruel the revenge is, it will not stop the pain on your body."

The situation in Flower City is particularly complex. As a border city in the southeast of the Red King's fiefdom, it is often invaded by the Eternal Life Sect and barbarians from southern Xinjiang. The Red King's army is currently very short of manpower for two-front operations, so it has given the border city to clans and indigenous people. They had great autonomy and ordered the natives to defend the cities where they lived.

The indigenous people here are armed to the teeth, and there are only three main positions in the Flower City official office.

One: Repair the city and keep it clean.

Two: Supervise the production of Flower City, where a small number of Xia Yu's artificial spiritual plants and most of the flowers come from.

The last step is to collect various taxes from the city.

"These are the responsibilities of our official office. I just finished sweeping the streets with the government officials this morning, and I almost fell down from exhaustion. If you hadn't taken over,"

The county magistrate paused for a moment, then an expression of gloating appeared on his cheeks and said, "Then the magistrate and I may take the lead in planting rice and sowing in the countryside next week."

As a county magistrate in an agricultural area, in addition to having basic city management capabilities, he also needs to have farming knowledge and procedures.

It is impossible to get promoted in Flower City through management, so the county magistrate and county magistrate are specializing in agriculture. They want to improve the productivity of the flower area and tidy up the tax accounts. Only in this way can they be promoted and leave as soon as possible. This is a place where there is no royal law.

"As a county magistrate, do you need to sweep the streets and farm?" Su Yan looked at the fat man with a strange expression and asked.

"Generally speaking, there is no need, because the Chiwang Palace has a salary specifically for the scavengers, but sitting in the official office and doing nothing is just idle. It is better to earn another salary. Anyway, it is already embarrassing enough for the county magistrate of Huahua City, but It's better to earn more so that you can show your respect to the superiors." The county magistrate explained to everyone with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Of course, as the county magistrate of an agricultural area, you should set an example for the people, but you don't need to do those things."

The county magistrate is a master in agriculture. He will guide the tenant farmers every year during the rice transplanting and sowing season. The landowners are also happy to see the increase in production and will cooperate with the county magistrate.

After listening to the county magistrate's description of the area under his jurisdiction, everyone fell into a state of speechlessness.

"What about the Eternal Life Sect and the Southern Xinjiang tribe?"

Seeing that everyone was beginning to doubt their lives, Su Yan looked unwilling to ask the county magistrate about other matters.

If we can’t get the performance in management and production, then wouldn’t it be difficult for us to get some credit for public security?

"The Eternal Life Sect and the Southern Xinjiang Tribe?"

The county magistrate poured Su Yan another cup of tea, and then said slowly: "That is a demonic path developed in the southern state in the past hundred years. How can they describe it to you? You may not be able to find it in the entire sect. A normal creature, right?"

"Or you can come with me and I'll show you what's in the warehouse."

Seeing that Su Yan was curious about the Eternal Life Sect, the county magistrate had no intention of hiding it. In the previous letter, he also specifically asked the county magistrate to provide more help with intelligence. Naturally, the magistrate told him everything he knew.

As the county magistrate opened the warehouse door, he picked up the official seal of his flower district from next to the metal door. After opening the second metal door, he led everyone into a cage made entirely of silver, with gold inlays on the walls. The pattern drawn by silk.

"It is the formation of the Eternal Life Sect."

After the county magistrate glanced at everyone, he handed the official seal to the county head who seemed to be the most stable and oldest.

In the cage in the secret room of the warehouse, there was a green wooden sculpture. The wooden girl's facial features were vivid and lively, and the pair of fox ears on her head made her look more lively and naughty. However, the green layer of moss-like and moldy stuff on her body caused the wooden figure to smell like dirt all over.

It even made the air in the cell turbid.

The county magistrate covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, raised his hand and used a dagger to remove the green moss on the wooden man's chest, exposing its chest completely to everyone, and said: "Seeing the wound on the chest pierced by the sword blade. I think you should all know what it was when it was alive?"

The lifelike fox-eared girl wooden sculpture in front of him was actually a living creature three years ago.

The wooden girl was once a member of the Eternal Demon Sect. After her death, she turned directly into a rotten wooden sculpture. If it weren't for the cage formation that had been maintaining her body, it would have rotted long ago.

"The Eternal Life Sect was born out of the Nightmare Town Sect. It is an evil method that can alienate living beings. She was originally a maid in a rural landlord's house. Later, she fell into the hands of the Eternal Life Sect. In less than two years, she became a Jindan cultivator and turned around to sneak into the Flower City to assassinate the Hua clan." The county magistrate shook his head and said, "The cruelty of the Eternal Life is not something I can imagine with my salary as a county magistrate." "I have said everything I should say. As students who have been trained in the Yongle Academy, you may be more intelligent than all of us in the government office. I will not advise you to be careful. Just think about whether it is worth it." "Let's go, let's go outside to drink tea. The flower tea we produce is unique in Xia Yu." The flower area under the jurisdiction of the Red King belongs to the war zone, and the Eternal Life Sect and the barbarians from southern Xinjiang often appear. Moreover, this place belongs to the clan autonomous region, and the influence of the Xiayu government office is relatively small. Clans of all sizes choose to live here because they are afraid of the Red King. Hundreds of years of intermarriage and annexation have created several powerful families with earth immortals in the clans.

The Flower City government office also belongs to the Xiayu Dynasty, otherwise those clans would have razed it to the ground and built a kiln in this prime location to make money from the people in the city.

The local forces can be said to be so terrifying.

These are all things that the county magistrate did not say, but the words and deeds are actively expressing the true situation.

Don't be stupid here. After the Red King Army eliminates the Eternal Life Sect and the Southern Border Barbarians and annexes their land, it will naturally rectify the security of the fiefdom and crack down on the local indigenous clan forces.

You don't need to intervene too much here. You can't make achievements like this!

. Horrible, there was an earthquake in my house

Chapter 165 It's difficult to deal with, but it's not impossible to deal with it

Evening · Flower Office Back Kitchen

"I asked you to go to the market to prepare some special dishes. What are you preparing? Stewing a whole family of field mice? You've prepared preserved bamboo rats for the table. You're so capable, why don't you kill the old cow in the field and stew it?"

"Look at what you've done for me!"

The county magistrate, who came to urge the dishes to be served, saw the county magistrate and the chief clerk quarreling in front of the kitchen door. At first, he didn't know what was going on. He asked the two of them what was going on with a confused look on his face.

When the county magistrate learned about the special dishes prepared by the chief clerk and the yamen runner, he was immediately furious. He chased the chief clerk with a fire stick and hit his head, cursing while beating him:

"Don't you know which dishes are good and which are not? You've prepared toads. Now how do you want me to host a banquet for guests?"

"Boss, didn't you ask me to go to the market to purchase special ingredients from Flower City? Didn't I do what you said?"

The young chief clerk covered his head and fled in panic, but he didn't forget to explain aggrievedly.

The flower area is an agricultural area. There are pests and voles that steal food in large acres of farmland. Ordinary voles can grow up to more than one meter. If they are not taken care of on weekdays, they are very likely to cause rodent damage and crop losses. Later, the people in the flower area found that voles seemed to be quite delicious. Therefore, there is a saying in the flower area: one mouse is worth three chickens. It is normal to eat voles here. If you don’t eat them, they will eat crops and flowers and take away your children and foxes. Therefore, in the eyes of the chief book, he did nothing wrong! Voles stewed with old soybeans are sweet and fresh, a must. The small voles are cleaned and fried until golden, and dipped in hot and sour sauce is simply heavenly, not to mention the taste of the big bamboo rats with clean meat and stir-fried asparagus. He usually doesn’t want to eat such a luxurious big bamboo rat when drinking. "Get out of here! Go to the restaurant right now and buy some decent dishes!"

Although the county magistrate was generous, he could not fake his foundation-building skills. He kicked the chief clerk out of the back door of the government office with a kick in the air and said, "Walk slowly, I will break your dog legs!"

Don't you see what level we are and what level the students of Yongle Academy are!

They are all rich kids. They served several plates of mice to your table at the welcoming banquet! Is that reasonable?

The flower county magistrate was so angry with the young chief clerk that his liver trembled.

………………

"In fact, voles are different from mice. Fried voles are a well-known dish to go with wine. It is quite common here in the southern part of Xiayu. I have eaten many of them before."

After standing in front of the door and watching the county magistrate angrily beat the chief clerk, Zhou You, who had been here before, explained the difference between mice and voles to Su Yan, Jun Xia, Feng Shiqi and Wumingshi.

Voles do taste good, and eating voles can help prevent rodent infestation in the local area.

"Brother Su should know, right? I want to think about the taste of fried voles and other snacks."

Zhou You looked at Su Yan from the Southern Province and asked him with a smile, hoping to gain recognition, so that he could find a restaurant with Su Yan and have a drink.

"Vole."

Su Yan thought about the voles he had seen, which were as big as buildings. His face tensed and he waved his hand and said, "My mother doesn't let me get too close to those gangsters."

"The rat is so big that I can't eat it in a week. I've eaten so much that I want to vomit."

Su Yan didn't know what was going on in the southern part of Xia Yu, but the rats in the southern states were all gangs and gangs.

"Huh!?"

Zhou You looked at Su Yan with a face full of question marks. The size of a voles was only the size of a palm. Wouldn't this thing take three bites?

Why does it take a week to eat it here?

"Hahaha, I'm sorry to make fun of you."

The county magistrate walked back to the back hall with an embarrassed face, and hurriedly called everyone to let the cooks bring the dishes.

Appetizers such as field mice, locusts, and frogs were all sternly rejected by the county magistrate and the county magistrate. The welcoming banquet skipped the appetizers and started with young chicken and fish. The main dish of the banquet was a wild boar that was hunted.

………………

…………

"I wish you good luck in your military career. The county magistrate, the chief clerk, and I will take a six-month vacation. If you have any problems, you can come to Jianghe Town to find me. If the trouble is too big, I suggest you contact the Red King's Mansion."

After eating, the county magistrate took the initiative to say goodbye to Su Yan and his party. He and the county magistrate went to the kitchen to pack up the field mouse soup and fried field mice. The yamen runners also went home. Now there are only Yongle Academy people in the huge government office.

"Everyone, think about it tonight! I will go to the account office with Shiqi to check the accounts and see the cash and other valuables in the government office."

The situation in the Flower City is so tricky that how can the Luanming County Lord start to make achievements.

She just checked the accounts and counted the financial expenditures of the Flower Office to see if she could spare some money to maintain her life.

"Consider? Why would you consider it? Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to make any achievements, and we can't touch the money bag of Grand Tutor Jin."

Seeing the Luanming County Lady leave, Zhou You leaned back on the chair and put his feet on the table, saying: "Brother Su, are you interested in a spontaneous trip? It is said that there are many flower fairies living in the flower area."

"When the time comes, capture her with your charm, and I will use charcoal to draw, and record those small and cute flower fairies in the book forever."

The monks who participated in the outing of the Academy can make requests as long as they can achieve results that Grand Tutor Jin is satisfied with.

Zhou You came here for the purpose of making money. Now, seeing that the situation in the Flower City is so difficult to deal with, Zhou You plans to do nothing, and live a lazy life until the end of the outing of the Academy, take the fairy boat back to Xiayu City, take back his storage ring, and then travel to other beautiful rivers and mountains.

Only a ghost wants to play Landlord here. What can four little Jindan cultivators do in Flower City?

They are afraid of death and don't know how to die.

"Take a photo for the flower fairy? You may have never seen a brutal plant monster with arms thicker than your waist."

Listening to Zhou You's complaints, Su Yan secretly criticized Zhou You for being bold, and then said: "Let's talk about those things later! I want to redecorate a satisfactory bedroom now. I don't plan to use the sky as a quilt and the ground as a bed, exposed to the wind and sun."

"Let's go to the account office to help! See how much cash is left in the government office for us to spend."

Although the situation in Flower City is difficult to deal with, there is no way out. Therefore, Su Yan did not despair of taking office as a county magistrate.

If you want to make political achievements, you don't have to grab the interests of the local natives. As long as you find a way to make money, you can invite the major clans to conspire for the spiritual stones in the world in the name of Xia Yu's government office.

Su Yan didn't care about these financial opportunities. The reason he participated in the outing at the academy was because of Grand Master Jin!

He could teach him the ability to control water, and he could also teach him the secrets of the dragon race!

Like the 'Dragon Ball Condensation Method', if it weren't for Xiao Longnv's reminder, Su Yan didn't know that the dragon balls of the dragon race needed to be condensed by himself, and he didn't know that as long as the creatures with dragon blood could refine them.

There were many valuable things on the Grand Master, so Su Yan naturally planned to make some achievements here and touch the hidden money bag of the old dragon of the South China Sea.

On the way to the account office, Zhou You was still complaining to Su Yan about the abnormal difficulty of the academy outing.

But no one noticed that the royal family nameless who had been following the two of them turned a corner quietly halfway and walked to the government warehouse alone.
