Chapter 7: He is a good official, a rare good official!

"Good morning, Madam."

"The second lady is beautiful again."

"Second Madam, how are you doing, Mr. Lu?"

"Ah, this girl is so beautiful..."

"..."

Jiang Linglong was stunned when she heard the cordial greetings from everyone.

"How could this be?"

Jiang Linglong couldn't believe that what she was seeing could be true.

How could the people still live so comfortably when the county government office is so luxurious?
The key is, these people still seem to love that dog official?

how did you do that?
She couldn't understand.

Could it be that I misunderstood him?

Isn't he a corrupt official?

No, if you are not a corrupt official, how could you have such huge wealth?

How much is the imperial salary in a year?
Just thirty thousand snowflake silver.

This little money is not enough to build a palace.

Not to mention the palace, even the white marble bricks and stones in the palace are more than that.

"There must be some unknown secret here! It seems that I have to be more careful not to reveal my identity and intentions, and I have to investigate slowly."

Jiang Linglong thought to herself.

However, I saw that the people here were not weak, but looked strong and powerful. If such people were cultivated into an army, they would definitely be an elite division.

Unfortunately, the quantity is still a bit too small.

"The only difficulty now is that this place loves that dog official so much. How can I gain their trust and let them follow me to recover the mountains and rivers of Dazhou?"

Jiang Linglong knew very well that her words alone were not worth having people sacrifice their lives for her.

It is even less likely that the dog official will help him wholeheartedly after hearing that Shanhe has fallen. It is not impossible to even take him down and hand him over to others in exchange for rewards, titles, and ministerships.

She didn't have the chance to make a mistake, so she didn't dare to gamble.

Don't be impatient, wait and see what happens.

"Hmm, it smells so good. Do you want some?"

Ning Youruo came to a stall with a smile, picked up a candy cake and handed it to Jiang Linglong and asked.

Hearing this, Jiang Linglong came back to her senses, subconsciously took the candy cake, glanced at it, and finally took a bite.

Not to mention, it tastes pretty good.

In the past few months of being on the run, she had not eaten such delicious food for a long time.

"Let's go, there's delicious food there."

"It's there too."

"Haha, that's great. I haven't had anyone go shopping with me for a long time. Linglong, you should eat more and stop being in a daze. What are you thinking about?"

The two of them were walking through the ancient streets, eating and enjoying themselves.

Jiang Linglong's eyes fell on the buildings on both sides of the street and stopped.

Along the way, she kept observing her surroundings.

In addition to the shops on the street, what caught her attention even more were the buildings on both sides.

She lived in Liangzhou and passed through three states.

Among the three states, there are many big cities.

But those big cities were completely different from the almost forgotten small county in front of them.

Three-story pavilions can be seen everywhere, and more importantly, there are more than one. The whole street is full of rows, all like this, as if carved from the same mold.

Jiang Linglong was confused and asked: "Dare you ask sister, are these pavilions..."

Ning Youruo gently put a grape in her hand into her mouth, and then explained with a smile: "This is a private house, the residence of the people of Cangyun County."

She didn't hide it, she wanted to keep Jiang Linglong as her husband's concubine.

The more Jiang Linglong feels that this place is good and her father-in-law is good, the more she will be willing to stay and have this opportunity.

"I think my husband would like a woman like Linglong, right?"

"When my husband comes out of seclusion, I will give him a surprise."

Ning Youruo thought to herself, "With Linglong's help, there will be three of us by then, and we can compete with them, hum."

"what?"

Jiang Linglong didn't know what Ning Youruo was thinking, she was just surprised.

People's residence? !
Is this a common people's residence?Are you serious?

This exquisite attic is no worse than the residences of some important officials of the imperial court, right?
Is it actually a place where common people live?
Shouldn’t the common people live in those bungalows?
She didn't know that ordinary people couldn't afford to live in a bungalow.

Most of them are mud houses made of mud.

"This should just be a part of the people, right? The aristocratic families in the city live there?"

Jiang Linglong asked.

"Sister Linglong, you are wrong about this. There are no aristocratic families here. Everyone is the same. As long as they are willing to work, they can live here."

"Everyone is entitled to such a pavilion from birth."

Ning Youruo said with a strong sense of pride on her face.

"What? Everyone...can?"

Jiang Linglong was astonished and asked: "May I ask my sister, how many people are there here?"

To be able to do this, I am afraid that the number of people is very small.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for everyone to be allocated a room.

How much courage does this require and how much financial resources does it cost?

That dog officer...

Oh no, can a small county magistrate do it without the support of the court?

At this moment, Jiang Linglong finally had a slight change in her mind about the county magistrate.

If what Ning Youruo said is true, then this person really cannot be considered a dog official.

After all, there are not many people who can do such a thing and think about the people.

Even, it is not even considered a corrupt official.

After all, this place is so prosperous and the imperial court has not allocated any money over the years. Why is it so greedy?
Where does that money come from?
Jiang Linglong guessed that there was no aristocratic family here, and most of them came from aristocratic families.

How could a small county magistrate uproot the powerful families entrenched here?

She knew very well that anywhere, aristocratic families were behemoths, deeply rooted, powerful and financially strong.

Even her Majesty the Zhou Dynasty sometimes has to look at the face of the aristocratic family. You can imagine how difficult it is to get rid of the aristocratic family?
But this county magistrate was so courageous that he challenged a wealthy family.

The key is, he actually did it, and it was done.

"It seems that I misunderstood him."

"This Mr. Lu is a good official! A rare good official!"

Jiang Linglong's impression has completely changed at this moment.

Just asking for help from the people is enough.

She has wanted to do the same since she came to the throne.

However, the resistance is too great and the Great Zhou is too big to achieve.

At this moment, I actually saw it here.

It coincides with her thoughts.

It was as if she had seen the results of the decree she had carried out.

This path is indeed feasible!

"It's a talent!"

Jiang Linglong secretly appreciated it.

However, she also knew that the reason why this place could be like this was probably because it was located in a remote place and there were not many people there.

Compared with Da Zhou, the difficulty is still much smaller.

This road is a long way to go.

"Haha, it's not much. I don't know much about it. I overheard someone mention it some time ago. It seems to be in the millions. I don't know the specific number."

what?
millions? !

How many millions of people does this small county have?
How can this be?

Why doesn't even His Majesty Zhou know this?

The key point is that each of these millions of people has a loft. Doesn’t it mean that there are millions of lofts here?

Jiang Linglong couldn't imagine it at all.

Because the entire imperial city only has a population of one million.

At this moment, is it actually inferior to this small county?

 It is very important to follow up on new books. If you like this subject, please keep reading. Thank you very much!
