Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 1 Yuanjiang County

Daqian, Jiangling Prefecture.

A carriage was driving on the bumpy mountain road. The driver was an old man in gray. In the carriage were two women. One of them wrote a small mark on the map of Anling County with a pen in hand.

The maid next to her knew that the Anling County magistrate was going to be in bad luck.

"Your Majesty..." she just shouted.

The woman who was looking at the map raised her eyes and was so frightened that she quickly changed her words: "Miss."

"What's the matter?" These two short words were extremely majestic, and coupled with the woman's beautiful face, it made people feel ashamed.In fact, it is true that all men in the world cannot hold their heads high in front of her.

Because she is the Lord of Daqian, the only female emperor in ancient times.

Xiao Linglong!
The maid hurriedly said: "Miss, should we go back? We have visited all five states and six mansions. It has been three months."

"I'm not busy. There's another Yuanjiang County I haven't visited yet. It's not that far away. Let's stop by and have a look." Xiao Linglong lowered her eyes and landed on the three words Yuanjiang County on the map.

The maid looked at the map and whispered: "Yuanjiang County is located between three mountains. At first glance, it looks like a remote country..."

Xiao Linglong chuckled: "Green Yuan, you've been out with me for so long and you still don't know the purpose of my trip? Do you really think I'm just here for fun?"

The maid did not dare to speak. The woman put away the map and said calmly: "There are hundreds of counties and counties in the five states and six prefectures of Daqian. I don't know how many things there are. I really thought that the people sitting on that chair and below would know one or five things." [-]. Tell me everything clearly?"

"This..." the maid suddenly realized.

Xiao Linglong said lightly: "If you don't see it with your own eyes and walk around, how can you know whether it is true or false?"

After saying that, she put down the ink pen in her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, feeling quite a headache.This battle lasted too long. Although Daqian won, it was only a miserable victory.

People everywhere are hungry, the world is desolate, food is in short supply, and the national treasury is stretched thin. If I hadn't gone out for a trip, I might have thought that the end of the war would mean a peaceful situation for the country and the people.

Just as he was thinking about it, the moving carriage suddenly stopped, causing the entire carriage to shake, and the woman frowned.

The maid hurriedly asked the driver: "Why did Mr. Lin stop suddenly?"

"Well, ladies, come out and see for yourselves!" The coachman's mouth was full of horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

The two women opened the car curtains and stuck their heads out together. They saw a flat road seven or eight meters wide with no idea of ​​the end in front of them.

The road was smooth and unusually gray, leading to the mountains. The three of them were dumbfounded!
"This way!" The maid's eyes widened.

Xiao Linglong also had a look of disbelief in her eyes, and lost her voice: "It doesn't look like it is paved with stone slabs, but how can it be so smooth!"

Even most of the outer city of the capital is covered with yellow mud, which becomes muddy when it rains. However, this mountain road is actually so smooth!

Who has eaten too much to build such a road? How much manpower and material resources it will cost!
"Miss, look." The maid Lu Yuan pointed to the entrance of the road.

I saw a road sign with a line of large characters written on it.

If you want to get rich, build roads first!

Below these six words, there is a line of very friendly small words: Yuanjiang County welcomes you!
……

Zhao Kang closed his eyes slightly and put his hands behind his back, listening to Zhang Long, the government servant beside him, giving a detailed report.

"Master, the tea we purchased this year has been put into storage, totaling two thousand kilograms, and we can start processing it immediately. In addition, some businessmen from Daming Mansion want to order a batch of white sugar from us, and the price is ten cents per kilogram. There are also They also gave me five cents a piece for soap, and they told me how much I needed.”

"People in the county couldn't hold it any longer, and asked me to ask you if you would sell it. Besides, there are no clues about the sweet potatoes you mentioned, and then Chuanyang Prefecture wants to buy a batch of cement ash from us..."

Judging from the yamen's report, we know that this gentleman must have traveled from a certain planet for unknown reasons. "Okay, I understand, let's go down. Tell the people below to take it easy. If anyone dares to sell it privately, Master, I will let him walk around without being able to eat."

After listening to Zhang Long's report, Zhao Kang opened his eyes and sneered. He wanted to buy me a pound of sugar for only ten cents. They would think it was a loss.

Zhang Long nodded and stepped back.

Looking into the distance, you can see archways, such as Zhang Laoba Health Club, Emotional Consolation Center, and Li Ergou Bathing City.

These are the empires I conquered!
Zhao Kang felt infinite sadness in his heart.

I recall that when I traveled back in time, the people in other people's books were either sect geniuses or princes. Fortunately for me, I was actually a poor county magistrate. It didn't matter. It happened to be a world war and the country of Qian suffered from a food shortage.

Although Yuanjiang County is located between mountains and remote, it has escaped the war and chaos.

But Zhao Kang was still panicking, because Yuanjiang County was so poor that they all lost their children so quickly. The people in the county were so hungry that they ran away, leaving only a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people.

You must know that in the early history of China, there were 3 people in a county in the early Qin Dynasty, which is enough to show how miserable Yuanjiang County was at that time.

Fortunately, through his unremitting efforts and uncompromising means, he has vigorously developed the people's livelihood economy, attracted investment and carried out reforms, and he will do anything as long as he can make money!It took five years to get Yuanjiang County back on track, and the hardships were so heartbreaking!

Just as I was sighing in my heart, another government servant with a pockmarked face ran into the small courtyard excitedly: "Master, Master!"

"What's the matter?" Zhao Kang frowned and stood up. This pockmarked man is always so reckless.

Mazi came closer and lowered his voice: "Sir, the people in front of me came back with news that a mahogany carriage has arrived ten miles away from our county. It looks like it is either rich or noble. There are three horses pulling the carriage!"

Zhao Kang was immediately startled when he heard this, and said nervously: "There isn't any emblem printed on the carriage, right? It's not like some imperial envoy has come down!"

If the officials above knew that he was doing evil in Yuanjiang County, would there be any good consequences?

I heard that the woman sitting on the throne now is a jealous master!
Mazi scratched his head: "No one like us must have looked carefully."

"That's good!"

Zhao Kang breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps and then stepped back, squinting and said: "Mahogany?"

"It's definitely true. The horses pulling the cart are different from ordinary horses. They are so tall! They must be fat sheep!" Mazi gestured with joy.

"Tell the people in front to keep an eye on them. If they enter the county, I will know every move they make. Damn it, they are not some imperial envoy who is visiting incognito."

Zhao Kang muttered, he is not afraid of anything now, he is only afraid of people coming from above. Not long after the war ended, people's livelihood in various places has been developing. If the people coming from above know the situation in the county, why not report him?

He hasn't had enough of this earthly emperor's life yet. Who said that traveling through time has to be fought and killed?

Wouldn't it be nice to stay in a small place and enjoy his blessings?

But you really have to find a few rip offs to make extra money!

At the same time, in front of the road sign in Yuanjiang County.

"Miss, this should be the road sign of Yuanjiang County, right?"

Green Yuan said with some uncertainty.

"Interesting, get off."
