Chapter 3 Arrival in Shanhai County

Zheng Ming lifted the curtain of the car, walked out of the car, and looked at the imperial censor coldly.

"My father asked this king to leave the capital today and seal it, do you want to stop this king?"

When the censor of the city inspected Zheng Ming's appearance, he immediately bowed and said, "I'm going to pay respects to the prince of the county."

Zheng Ming ignored him, raised his head to look around, and swept his eyes sharply at the crowd of onlookers.

It's a pity that he didn't see any familiar faces, but yes, this kind of thing should not show up.

"This king will be banned if he obeys the decree, and whoever dares to stop it will be disrespectful to the decree, and it will not matter if you kill him."

Zheng Ming looked at the censor of the city patrol and said in a deep voice: "The censor of the city tour can also be killed, Luo Jing sets off."

After saying a word, he entered the carriage again.

The convoy set off again and slowly drove out of the city gate, and no one dared to stop it.

The inspector of the city looked at the carriage that was getting farther and farther away, and his face was blue and white.

He felt that he had done a very brainless thing and regretted it in his heart.

He was inspecting the imperial censor of Beicheng, and was responsible for inspecting the public security management of the northern city of Kyoto, hearing lawsuits, arresting thieves, etc. If the city gate officer was killed, he must have a responsibility to come forward, but he ignored that the prince was involved.

Even if it is a prince who has been demoted and punished, it is also a prince. Anything involving the royal family is not a simple matter.

At this time, he had come to his senses, he was being used by others, and he took the initiative to join him.

"Damn!"

He cursed inwardly.

Zheng Ming didn't know what the censor was thinking, and he didn't care either.

Although leaving Kyoto like this looks embarrassing, it is actually a good thing for him.

The situation is unclear, the strength is not good, and staying in Kyoto is a disaster.Better to stay away from right and wrong.

Sitting in the carriage, when Yu Huatian returned to the carriage, Zheng Ming lifted the curtain of the carriage and asked, "Isn't there ten factory guards? Why are there only six?"

"Your Highness, the servants have left them in the palace." Yu Huatian bowed his head and said respectfully.

That respectful look didn't have the domineering and femininity just now.

Zheng Ming looked up at him and nodded slightly.

Yuhuatian is worthy of being the flower of the West Factory, and the work is really thoughtful.

……

After leaving Kyoto, the convoy was never stopped, and certainly not welcomed.

The Dali Dynasty had a province of Beijing and Jiuzhou, and at the local level, there were two levels of prefectures and counties.

Shanhai County is located in the northeast corner of the Dali Dynasty. From Kyoto to Shanhai County, it is necessary to pass through Jingdong Province and Beishan Province, thirteen prefectures and cities, and the distance is nearly a thousand miles.

Zheng Ming passed through the thirteen prefectures and did not see any officials above the prefecture, which shows how unpopular he is as a prince.

Ten days passed in a flash.

When Zheng Ming felt the cold wind from the north, they finally came to the city of Shanhai County.

After more than ten days of trekking, Zheng Ming was going crazy.

At the beginning, it was better, the official road was flat, and you could take a carriage or ride a horse.

However, after entering Beibianfu, which belongs to Shanhai County, the road is mostly steep trails. Along the way, there are many mountains and mountains, and the wind is blowing and the sun is shining. It is difficult.

Close to a hundred miles of mountain road, over the mountains and mountains for three days.

Looking at the nearby Shanhai County, Zheng Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

Because this Shanhai County is too broken.

However, the five-meter-high city wall is obviously in disrepair, and one of the city gates has fallen off. Looking east from the city gate, you can still see a large gap, and I don’t know how long it has collapsed.

Before entering it, Zheng Ming already felt the taste of poverty.

Although he, the King of Shanhai, is not responsible for managing the government affairs of Shanhai County, his main source of income comes from the taxation of Shanhai County.

According to the regulations of the Dali Dynasty, the taxation of Shanhai County belongs to his salary. In addition to the taxation, he also owns [-] mu of fertile land in Shanhai County.

Of course, as a royal child, he can also receive a generous salary from the royal family, but don't forget that he was fined for three years.

So for the next three years, he will have to rely on Shanhai County's taxes to live.

In such a county, he felt that the wealthy life he dreamed of was drifting away from him.

"Several adults, may I ask who you are?"

At this time, several soldiers in front of the city gate stepped forward and asked carefully.

They were wearing gray linen uniforms with patches on them, and they were yellow-faced and thin, like a group of beggars.

It is said that the city gate officer is a wealthy position, but the city gate officials in this Shanhai City are like beggars, which shows how poor this Shanhai City is.

"The King of Mountains and Seas is here, don't hurry to get out of the way!" Luo Jing said solemnly, riding on his horse.

The expressions of several soldiers changed, and they quickly retreated to the sides, kneeling and saying, "Meet the lord."

Zheng Ming looked at them, waved his hand and said, "Get up."

"Do you know where this king's palace is?" he asked.

Several soldiers looked at each other, but lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Luo Jing leaned into Zheng Ming's ear and whispered, "Your Highness, it is estimated that your palace has not yet been built."

Zheng Ming was slightly taken aback.

From the memory of his predecessor, King Shanhai belonged to the two-character king, that is, the king of the county. Although his status was not as good as that of a prince, he was still a prince, and he should have a palace that he should have.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zheng Ming understood.

He, the King of Shanhai, was suddenly sealed, let alone Shanhai County, even if no one in the court expected it, naturally he would not build the palace in advance.

So he doesn't even have a place to live now.

Zheng Ming stared at the sky speechless.

"Let's go, let's go to the city."

The convoy slowly entered Shanhai County.

The pitted streets, dilapidated shops, and thin pedestrians all show the poverty of Shanhai County.

Soon, they came to a fairly tidy mansion.

Shanhai County Government!

Then a few people hurried out of the yamen, and the leader was an old man with white hair, wearing a gray-white official uniform.

"Xiaguan Shanhai County magistrate Lu Shou pays a visit to the prince."

"Meet the king."

Obviously, these people are officials of Shanhai County.

Zheng Ming stepped out of the carriage, glanced at them, and sighed slightly.

This official is not rich!
Originally, he wanted to get some ill-gotten wealth from these officials, but now it seems that he has no chance.

Just rushing to Lu Shou's patched official uniform, Zheng Ming was embarrassed to toss this old man.

"They're all up."

Zheng Ming said, and walked into the county office.

Generally speaking, the county government is better than the outside, but it is limited and there is nothing fancy.

"You all go to work, the county magistrate will just accompany me to see." Zheng Ming dispersed the crowd, and only brought Lu Shou and Yu Huatian into the county court hall.

Lu Shou lowered his head and followed him carefully, his old face full of panic.

From the moment he received the court order, he was in a state of trepidation.

He is most aware of the situation in Shanhai County. Usually, let alone the prince, even officials rarely come.

And he was able to become the county magistrate not because of his outstanding ability, but because no one was willing to come to Shanhai County to be the county magistrate, so he served as the county magistrate in Shanhai County for 30 years.

Who would have thought that such a place where birds do not shit would one day become the fief of the prince.

Zheng Ming found a chair in the hall and sat down, looked at Lu Shou, and said, "Sit down, old man. Don't stand."

Respecting the old and loving the young is a virtue, and Zheng Ming couldn't watch the old man stand dryly.

After Lu Shou thanked him, he carefully sat opposite Zheng Ming.
