I’m Walking the Career Line In Dog Blood

    On the day he officially left office, taking advantage of the dark and windy moon, An Yinong secretly packed his parcels and wrapped himself in a thick coat. He arranged an inconspicuous carriage early and stopped In the backyard of someone else's house, and then he climbed the wall, preparing to walk away like this.

    However, when he looked left and right to see no one, he was careful to climb over the wall for a moment...

    "The magistrate! The magistrate is here!"

    The old lady shouted, and within a few seconds, more than a dozen people rushed over, and the number of people was increasing. All of them held torches and squeezed An Yinong against the wall. Dilemma.

    I slack off, I didn't expect an old lady to guard the door.

    Gu Zhengzhong also stood on the wall, covering his face with a fan, without any intention of saving. An Yinong smiled awkwardly: "It's so late, everyone hasn't slept yet?"

    "I knew that we adults would definitely want to steal it away without telling us."

    "Sir! It's fine if you don't let us hold a banquet, how can you steal it away?" An uncle was heartbroken.

    "That's right, my lord, you said that you have been here for three years, how can you leave empty-handed? If you leave empty-handed, where will our Dingsha County face? Others think we are even decent in Dingsha County. Specialties are not available."

    "That's right, you're leading the way."

    "If it doesn't work, I'll lead the sheep."

    "Then take some meat and go, look at your body, like a chicken, you have to eat meat and drink milk." The old lady in the crowd shouted.

    They had selective amnesia, and they all forgot the achievements of their magistrates to fight bandits.

    An Yinong's sneaky action was unsuccessful in the end, and was condemned by the broad masses of the people. They said that if the magistrates refused to take the gifts they sent out, the magistrates should not think about it Exit the gate of Dingsha County.

    At this time, Gu Zhengzhong, who should protect him the most, stood in the crowd and laughed. Even the masters, Wei Menfang and Tian Shouwei, held their swords to watch him surrounded by enthusiastic crowds.

    As for the yamen... Hey, don't talk about it, help the tyrant!

    In the end, An Yinong had to accept some melons and fruits, but not herds of cattle and sheep.

    In addition, there are three umbrellas, and the umbrellas are densely packed with names. He didn't know what the Wanmin umbrella was like in other places, but on this umbrella, the handwriting of each name was different, and many people knew that it was the first time to hold a pen.

    The gatekeeper Wei also said that there are still some 'green forest masters' protecting them in secret. These people admired the magistrate's conduct, and they would send him to Jiahu safely no matter what.

    An Yinong managed to persuade these righteous men back.

    "Thank you, fellow, don't give it away, let's go back."

    People from Dingsha County sent him Sanli Road, and An Yinong hid in the carriage by himself, and no one was allowed to enter.

    He calmed down and applied a 'healing halo' to himself to remove all traces. Only then did An Yinong lift the curtain and seriously ask how long it would take to arrive.

    The driver, Uncle Zhong, Tian Huwei, and the gatekeeper Wei pretended not to see his red eyes just now.

    "If you go directly to Kingswood, you will be there in three days."

    An Yinong returned to the carriage, and he took out a few books from the box, which were the climatic conditions, geographical conditions of other counties in the Western State, and some intricate maps of local power relations.

    There is another person's mark on the booklet, all of which are some things that An Yinon did not notice.

     Fingertips touched the familiar handwriting, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his eyes.

    "If you can restrain a little bit, it will be perfect." He held his sore waist, and the healing halo couldn't heal him, it was painful.

    Recently, An Yinong didn't dare to flirt with Gu Zhengzhong, she was afraid.

    The horse-drawn carriage drove slowly on the loess road. There were no street trees or farmland on both sides, only desolate and uncultivated land.

    The caravan passing by on the road did not know that this simple team with only two carriages was the team of the new Zhizhou, and they all rushed to the center of Xizhou, wanting to win the quota of the mutual market .

    Counties in Xizhou also want to grab places, and they all hope that the mutual market will be set up at their doorsteps, and they are all trying to find people to build relationships.

    The more they are like this, the more cautious An Yinong is: the mutual market is very important, he must find the most suitable place, and he cannot be easily influenced by emotion.

    "No one stipulates that I have to complete the appointment within three days." An Yinong, disguised as a traveling scholar, shook his folding fan. This kind of early autumn atmosphere, it is the Great Northwest again, only the stupid scholars in the Central Plains can shake their fans.

    He has been a magistrate for three years, and he has been blowing sand for three years, but he still looks like a clean scholar, wearing a turban and a blue shirt without any sense of disobedience.

    "I just want to trouble Uncle Zhong to go first, and I will catch up later." The car carried Wanmin umbrellas, several cages of rabbits, golden eagles, cats and dogs and various local specialties. Like a traveling scholar, so he has to trouble the driver to drive a car over first.

    He also gave Uncle Zhong a document that could prove his identity, and taught him how to place the animals in the car.

    An Yinong did not take away the cows raised in Dingsha County, but had already sent them to Jiahu by caravan. Kingswood relies on the largest freshwater lake here and is rich in products. Their pastures also grow very well, which is very suitable for raising dairy cows.

    Dingsha began to cultivate rubber grass in large quantities, and the price of airtight jars will drop in the future, and then some dairy products can be produced.

    After Uncle Zhong left, there was only one car and three people left in the team. Master Wei, the concierge, said that he could temporarily act as the driver.

    "On this route, we will pass through Pingqiu, Baisha, Zhanghua, and finally arrive at Kingswood City."

    He has a simple map of the Western State in his hand. The entire Western State is in the shape of a long and narrow fritter. Except for Kings and Lakes, other areas have borders. But which place is most suitable for setting up a mutual market, he still has to investigate on the spot.

    "The mutual market is a node, which must consider homeland security, transportation convenience, supporting facilities, cooperation of local residents, etc."

    Security can be used as a secondary condition, because Emperor Qi has promised that after the establishment of the mutual market, she will send ten garrison barracks.

    So many garrisoned troops require so many venues, so the best place for the mutual market is a county that can produce a lot of food and has enough land.

    In this way, Dingsha County was the first to be eliminated. Dingsha County used to be the poorest place in the entire Xizhou. It was because there was too little available land and food was always in short supply, so An Yinong had to vigorously Develop herbal cultivation and rubber grass cultivation.

    Second, traffic.

      He can't be dedicated to repairing roads. When will it be repaired?

    Nowadays, cement is available, but the cost is high, and it is unrealistic to build roads in large areas.

    The inconvenient 'Pingqiu' will be eliminated.

    "Only Baisha and Zhanghua are left. Baisha is close to Tianze Lake, and Zhanghua has good transportation." He was uncertain for a while, "It seems that we still have to conduct a field investigation."

    Make up her mind, An Yinong will change the route and prepare to go to these counties.

    His first stop was Pingqiu. Pingqiu County is similar to Dingsha County, both in terms of land area and population. In a trance, he had the feeling that he came to Dingsha three years ago.

    "If it is such an environment, it is possible to follow the route of Dingsha County. The economic animals can be changed to rex rabbits, which can be used for meat and skin, and eat grass."

    After saying goodbye to Pingqiu, An Yinong came to Baisha. Like Jiahu, Baisha has a piece of land next to the largest freshwater lake in Xizhou, Tianze Lake, known as the land of fish and rice in the northwest.

    So, obviously, the residents of Baisha are much richer than the residents in other places. They can feed themselves by fishing, farming, and raising livestock, and there is no sense of survival crisis.

    But also because of this reason, the proportion of merchants in Baisha County is not high, and the locals look down and reject foreigners somewhat.

    In such an environment, it is possible to set up a mutual market, but it is still lacking in humanities. An Yinong's eyes turned to Zhang Hua. Zhang Hua's jade mines and businessmen were very famous. He didn't know what surprises or surprises would be brought to him there.

    Zhanghua has a lot of businessmen, and it can be regarded as a commercial city.

    On the repaired road, you can see caravans from time to time. There are more than a dozen people in the small ones, and there are even more than a hundred people in the big ones. The camels and horses are in groups.

    An Yinong observed for a few days and selected a medium-sized caravan.

    There are fifty or sixty people in this caravan, riding more than twenty camels and horses. The things they sell are mainly spices, dried fruits, succulents, and furs. An Yinong stopped the car to ask them, and asked in Mandarin if they could go together.

    He claimed to be looking for relatives in Zhanghua.

    An Yinong looked polite and polite.

     "Look at the direction Mr. came from, is it from Baisha County?" The bearded businessman invited him to eat barbecue.

    "The shopkeeper is very kind." An Yinong took the skewer of barbecued meat, "I did come from Baisha County, but I didn't go to Baisha County first. Eat Dingsha Snow Beef."

    "Hey, it's a pity I didn't eat it, but I did eat the snowflake beef that was eliminated, and the meat was really tender. I don't know how delicious the authentic snowflake beef is."

    An Yinong said the truth, and there was yearning in his eyes.

    "What is the Dingsha Snowflake Cattle? What's the difference between the original cows in Dingsha County and our Zhanghua? It's just that Tianzhi County, who can turn stone into gold, is able to match today's Snowflake Cattle. "The businessman said sourly.

    "Since this Dingsha Snowflake cattle came out, his cattle in Dingsha County are 50% more expensive than our cattle. Humph, isn't it the same cattle? "

    "Yes! There are succulents. Are the heroes and sons and daughters of the desert designated succulents in Dingsha County? What if he came to Zhanghua to find the 'lover's grass'? Why Dingsha? The more meat is three cents more expensive?" The young man, probably the son of a businessman, complained while eating meat.

    "Is that so?" An Yinong tapped his palm with a fan, "What good thing does Zhang Hua have? To be honest, I came out to find relatives, and secondly, I also wanted to grow experience."

      The 'culprit' An Yinong looked ignorant and criticized the unreasonable pricing together with the businessman Zhang Hua.

    As the saying goes, 'As long as you and I complain about Dingsha, we are half-brothers', An Yinong was soon accepted by Zhanghua's caravan, and even The titles have changed from 'shopkeeper, sir' to 'Brother Hu, Brother Tian'.

    The merchant also took out his treasured wine and invited An Yinong to drink it.

    He sat on the edge of the car with his legs hanging down naturally, enjoying the reed-like plants in the sunset while drinking wine, there was a kind of free and happy happiness.

    An Yinong suddenly remembered the "Hometown in Dreams" he once wrote.

    He found the ocarina and played it from the carriage. The sound of the ocarina was deep and long, with a little melancholy and yearning, and it was as free as the wind. The people in the caravan stopped and looked here .

    "What is Brother Tian bragging about?"

    "Looking Township." An Yinong said with a smile.

    After the businessman left, Gu Zhengzhong appeared beside him, his black sleeves unfolded, and he gently embraced him.

    An Yinong leaned in his arms, sniffed the light fragrance, and closed his eyes: "It's so good now, I have a cat, a dog, and a golden eagle. And you... I have everything I want."

    "There will be more in the future." Gu Zhengzhong promised in a low voice.

    The sun hung like a giant egg yolk in the western sky.

    The team of merchants was cooking dinner, and they also gave An Yinong a copy. He took it and glanced over the soup bowl inadvertently, but found a special vegetable.

    "Is this a beet?" He pointed to the red plant block inside, looking at the texture, it was clearly a sugar beet.

    "Beets? No, it's kohlrabi," said the soup man.

    An Yinong's heart was pounding, beet is also called kohlrabi in some places, its root looks a bit like water radish, fat and thick.

    Sucrose is a commodity that he wanted to toss for a long time, with high profits and high consumption. However, there is no sugar cane in the northwest, nor can he grow sugar cane, and all his hopes can only be placed on sugar beets.

    But he hadn't eaten beets in Dingsha County for three years, and he always thought it had not been introduced.

    "Brother Hu, is this kohlrabi a unique dish in Xizhou?" He came to the merchant with a soup bowl.

    "Oh, it's a big red head, but it's not. It was brought by the merchants from the northwest two years ago. Because it tastes good and it grows well, we just planted some. "

    "No wonder, I didn't eat this kind of dish in Dingsha before."

    "That's it!" As soon as the word Dingsha was mentioned, the merchants overreacted, "Dingsha County is also lucky, waiting for a good county, as far as its properties, how can it be compared Go to our Zhanghua?"

    An Yinong just smiled and listened. It seems that the rise of Dingsha County has brought a lot of pressure to the surrounding counties.

    Following the caravan, they arrived in Zhanghua County the next day.

    Zhanghua County looks much better than Dingsha County three years ago, and the gates are more stylish. However, the soldiers at the door were lazy and sluggish looking.

    An Yinong took a few more glances: "Brother Hu, why are the soldiers guarding the city yawning?"

    "I bet."

    After the introduction of the merchant, An Yinong knew that Zhanghua also has the kind of big family of local snakes, who can pull out a thousand strong and powerful thugs with a greeting.

    "South of Shencheng, north of Zhaocheng. The Shen family mainly deals in horses and spice business, and they have close contacts with foreigners. , daily into the bucket of gold."

    "Horses and spices don't matter. Casinos and brothels require special permits from the government. Ordinary places can't even grant one. Where did he get so many permits?" An Yinong I'm curious, even if these two things are not completely banned as they are in modern times, they are strictly controlled. How can they bloom everywhere here?

    "If there is a certificate or not, who will go to check it? The magistrates don't dare. It's not that everyone is the magistrate of Dingsha County, and the knife holder does not move an eyebrow on the neck."

    The businessman looked around and reminded: "Brother Tian, ​​you must be careful not to cause trouble on the Zhao family's territory, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be good or bad."

    "It turned out to be like this? Fortunately, Brother Hu reminded me, otherwise I would go in without knowing anything." An Yinong gratefully said.

    The businessman was embarrassed to say: "I'm very polite, Brother Tian. They don't dare to do anything to the master."

    The two were talking while waiting to enter the city, when suddenly there was the sound of 'De De De De' horses' hooves.

    "Let it go."

    The people waiting to enter the city subconsciously separated to both sides, and the team was in chaos.

    "Yu—" A dark horse stopped in front of him, An Yinong looked up, only to see a tall and thin young man against the light, and then a bent whip hit his chin , looked at him without blinking his eyes.

    "Yo, which handsome little man is this? Why do you want to go to the city? Do you want to be a guest at my house?"

    The author has something to say:

    Gu Zhengzhong: My family.
