After Emptying the Enemy’s Warehouse, He Carried Supplies To Survive the Disaster Years

Chapter 52 Xin’an County

 “Hahaha, it’s still like that!

There are very few opportunities to wear this kind of clothes. After breakfast, Brother Wang took the boat and I went to Xin'an County.

 The remaining brothers have worked hard, and each of them will be rewarded with two taels of silver as a reward for their hard work. "

 Ziyu, who was dressed in a noble manner, clasped her fists at the people around her, asking them to work more. How could she be motivated without money?

 “Thank you young master for your generosity!”

　　A group of boatmen yelled, two taels of silver was equivalent to one month's wages for them.

Xin'an County is built on the mountains, and the stones on the city wall are covered with the vicissitudes of time.

Sheng Xuelin, who was two steps behind the two of them, lowered his head and smiled. His father used to be the second housekeeper of a wealthy family.

 …

“Scribes, please be careful where you step!”

Facing the sparkling Daxia Bay, the red sun is above your head, the gentle sea breeze in the early morning is in front of you, and the cool wind blowing from the valley is behind you.

 The official uniform of the county magistrate, even the pattern on the chest is blurred. This is probably the poorest county magistrate in history.

　　On the street at noon, the shop door was ajar, and two old dogs lay under the eaves, baring their teeth at a group of people on the street.

“Haha, I almost forgot what it was like before.

 The prince is luxuriously dressed and has a humble tone, which is completely different from the noble prince that Jia Shuli knows.

“I heard that Fort wants to buy mountain land, but I don’t know which piece of land I’m interested in.

The ship detoured around the surrounding mountains, sailed along the Dujiang River from the edge of Dujiang Prefecture, and passed through one city and one town before arriving at Xin'an County.

 “Little brother, what you are saying is too profound, I can’t understand it!”

“Brother, come back soon!

 “Little brother, you can do it as a housekeeper!” Wang Xingwang whispered.

　　With two taels of silver in hand, everyone devoted themselves enthusiastically to the construction of the valley.

 Living casually is much more free than the previous days when there were always rules.

 The county seat under the jurisdiction of Kaner Village.

  Xin'an County.

 “Yes, Master!”

He was more and more impressed by Ziyu, and given time, it might really be possible for him to create a paradise in the world.

“Master, may I have any instructions for you?”

Cheng Yuanju, whose trousers were rolled up high, came over with a bucket full of freshly picked fish and shrimps.

Ziyu took out an ordinary black purse from her sleeve pocket. When shaking, half of the bag of broken silver made a crisp collision sound.

 Ziyu was a little worried about whether the next thing would be completed smoothly.

“Master, please sit down!”

Wang Xingwang is more determined in his inner plan. If he loses, he will have to start over.

 “Hahaha, little brother, the secret was revealed when he opened his mouth!”

“Master, please be careful when you step on the threshold!” Jia Shuli lowered his voice and used the gentlest words to remind him.

There are occasionally one or two branch alleys, which are so narrow that you have to walk sideways to carry a load.

“Cheng Yuanju, take care of Xiao Luo and the children at home.”

 The main street, which can only be passed by a carriage, is the only main road in Xin'an County.

 Many things, the world only sees the appearance. "

Moss can be seen everywhere on the exterior walls, and the streets paved with stone slabs are bumpy. Sitting on a carriage is undoubtedly the same as the jumping carriages of later generations.

 “Hello, Mr. Jia, thank you for your work!” Ziyu raised her hands and said hello to the old man in front of her.

She didn't even dare to use too much strength, for fear that it would be embarrassing if she squatted down in front of a large crowd.

 Opportunities will be fleeting.

 …

 County magistrate Zhang Yuansi greeted Ziyu warmly. This was the first time he had met an owner who wanted to buy mountain land since he took office.

 “Cheng Yuanju, come here!” Ziyu raised her head and shouted, and the image of the noble master disappeared instantly.

Leng Dayou scratched his head, his mind was a bit too hard to turn around, so he simply didn’t worry about it.

 There was good food and money, and no one wanted to fall behind, so they all rushed to work.

Had he not been framed by others, he would have had a chance to become a great steward.

“Okay, brother will be back in a few days, wait for me!” Ziyu waved with her back to prevent the little guy from seeing her face.

But the weeds on the roof have taken root and sprouted, leaving behind their descendants.

The old hand clenched tightly around the lump that suddenly appeared in his hand. The texture and shape made Jia Shuli's old heart skip a beat.

Ziyu arranged Xiao Luo, and those who had breakfast each stood or squatted with a large bowl.

“Master, wait a moment, I’ll go right now!”

"Shengxing, go in and announce that the Lord of Daxia Castle is visiting." The self-proclaimed Ziyu opened his mouth.

 After the county magistrate knew your intention, he sent Jia Shuli to invite you to come in and discuss it in detail. "

Ziyu, who crossed the threshold, glanced at the poor office space and secretly thought that no wonder a clerk would be sent out to greet him.

We must not let him go. The county government has been so poor that he has not paid wages for three years.

 There is a different feeling!

 It was not time for a bowl of tea, and an old man with a gray beard came out with Shengxing.

 “Fortress Lord, please come in!”

 The houses on both sides of the street are mostly built with stone walls and roofs with tiles, slates, and even bark.

Ziyu took the lead and walked to Wang Xingwang's boat, followed closely by Shengxing and his son.

 Xiao Luo will miss you, I won’t cry! "Xiao Luo, who was being carried by Cheng Yuanju, shouted at the top of his voice and waved his hands vigorously.

“Young master, this is the clerk of the county government.

 He squeezed the silver ingot in his hand, and the balance in his heart began to tilt.

 Walking along the way, I didn’t even see a single yamen servant. This is too poor.

 “The Lord of Daxia Castle has met the county magistrate!”

 …

 Melodious and melodious!

 It exudes the corrosive smell of money!

 Otherwise, another golden bean will be lost.

After a few polite remarks, Ziyu and Jia Shuli walked in sync, and her hand slipped a five-tael small silver ingot to Jia Shuli without anyone noticing.

Ziyu cupped her hands in a neither humble nor condescending manner, swung her robe and carefully sat on a patched chair.

There is not a single piece of decent furniture in the office of the county magistrate. Either the paint is peeling off or the legs are missing and have to be patched up.

 Judging from the full tiles on the roof, this is the best building in Xin'an County.

 …

 “Haha, who told me to be discerning?” Ziyu said proudly.

The four Ziyu people stopped in front of the cracked Yamen. The color of the paint could no longer be seen on the tall wooden door, which was densely covered with insect holes. The drum against the wall had a conspicuous hole, and only one drum was left.

Ziyu saw that Shengxing and his son were waiting aside early, wearing cotton clothes that had been soaked in water, one green and one blue, which were more appropriate.

The ship left Daxia Bay under the watchful eyes of everyone, and the gentle sea opened its arms to receive this group of outsiders.

 Feeling the coldness of the status difference, I suddenly let go of the discomfort in my heart.

 Stretching mountains separate Daxia Bay from Xin'an County, as if separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.

The green cloth shirt on his body has faded after washing. Although there is no patch, the purple jade is not far away from that.

If you are not careful, you will receive a basin of vegetable leaves or dirty water thrown out from the small door.

Shengxing took the silver bag, swept his left and right sleeves, and proudly pushed open the wooden door with peeling paint behind his back.

Jia Shuli, go and take out the county map and let the Lord of Purple Fort choose it! "

Magistrate Zhang couldn't wait and started asking the clerks to lay out the map before he even sat down, just to keep Ziyu as the big buyer.
