   Chapter 177 178 The more dilapidated county government

  There are only a few shops on the street that are open, the shops are deserted, and there is not a single customer. There are slightly more decent shops, one is a pharmacy and the other is a medical store.

After walking for a quarter of an hour, he arrived at the crossroad. Sitting on the carriage, Li Yu could see the layout of the entire county clearly. The four dilapidated streets could be visited in more than half an hour, and the smell of pig manure was still there. Pass.

Li Yu and the others were observing Qingchuan County. People from Qingchuan County also rushed to the window, watching the carriages parked at the crossroads. After watching the carriages stop for a while, they slowly walked in the direction of the county government, "Yo. The court sent the county magistrate again, but I don't know how many days this county magistrate will be able to do this time!"

  The convoy turned and walked for more than ten breaths before arriving at the Qingchuan County Office. Everyone looked at the collapsed county office with only the lobby left, and couldn't help laughing and laughing. Zhou Jia sighed and said, "Ruyi, go and see if there is anyone inside."

Ruyi jumped out of the carriage and walked into the lobby, and saw a thin old man in a tattered robe, with a pale face and a goatee on his chin, Ruyi cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, sir, do you know where to find the people from the county government office? "

   The old man squinted his eyes, looked at Ruyi, and said with a cold face: "Looking for someone? I'm the only one in the whole Qingchuan county government office, a young graduate, who are you looking for?"

   "Sir, you're polite. My young master is the newly appointed magistrate of Qingchuan County. May I ask where is the official residence of the county government."

The old man pointed to the broken walls outside, "That's right, it has fallen down a long time ago." Then he ran out, looked at the carriage and shouted, "The county magistrate is here, that's great! Give me your salary, and I'll go home and buy it. Rice to go."

   Zhou Jia looked at the thin old man who ran towards Mr. Qian and thought; this is probably the history of Tu Dian!

   Zhou Jia jumped off the carriage and walked towards Tu Dianshi, cupped his hands and said, "Tu Dianshi, why are you looking for me?"

  Tu Dianshi spread his hands and said, "What's the matter? Salary! I haven't received my salary for three years. Now that you have taken office, send me your salary! The old man is still waiting for the rice to cook!"

Zhou Jia spread his hands, "Look, I just arrived at the county seat, and I don't know the situation in the county office. Besides, in the past few years, aren't you in charge of the entire county office? Why didn't you get a salary? "

  Tu Dianshi looked at Zhou Jia, and was speechless. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then take the saucer, and tell him to take up his post after the inspection!"

   Zhou Jia nodded, "Okay, I'll get it for you right away."

  Li Yu looked at it for a while and thought; it seems that he has to find a place to live by himself

  Li Yu said to Ruyi who was standing behind Zhou Jia: "Ruyi, go to a nearby yard to rent it, and settle it down first."

   "Yes, I'll look for it right away." Tu Dianshi heard Li Yurang Ruyi looking for a place to live, and hurriedly shouted: "Madam, rent my house, there is only one old man in my house, and the big yard can live there."

  Li Yu looked at the old man and smiled, "It's not impossible to rent it from you, I have to take a look first."

  Tu Dianshi looked at Li Yu and said with a smile, "I don't want to rent money, I just want to eat two meals with you."

  Li Yu smiled and nodded: "As long as we rent your house, two meals are not a big problem."

  Tu Dianshi turned around neatly, pointed to the mansion opposite, and said, "Madam, look, the old man's house is opposite the county office. It's very convenient. That little brother, let me have a look together!"

  Ruyi looked at Li Yu, Li Yu nodded and smiled: "Okay, Ruyi, you and Tu Dianshi can take a look!"

   Zhou Jia and Mr. Qian looked at the county government office that could compare with the ruined temple, and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I can't find the second county government office that is so dilapidated."

   Mr. Qian said in fear: "Sir, the most important thing is the city wall. Fortunately, Daqi has been unable to attack in the past few years. If the city wall is not built well, if Daqi attacks, it will be easy to hit Qingzhou Prefecture."

   "Yeah! After I hand over to Tu Dianshi, let's check to see if there is still any family in the county government."

Ruyi followed Tu Dianshi to the opposite side, Tu Dianshi opened the door, and said to Ruyi: "Look, my little brother, my house is spacious! It was built by my grandfather when he was alive. The courtyard with two entrances, blue bricks and blue tiles, and some people will be welcome. can stay."

  Ru Ziyi's yard is indeed quite spacious. Weeds grow in the yard, and everywhere is dirty. "The yard is so dirty, can you live in it?"

Tu Dianshi flicked his sleeves and stared: "I'm a bad old man, one room is enough, it's so wide and clean, it won't tire people to death! Go and ask your wife, rent or not rent. Bar?"

   "You don't need to ask my wife, rent, let's say yes! Two meals are paid for the rent."

   Tu Dianshi laughed, "Okay, the old man can eat something hot."

   Ruyi ran to the opposite side and reported to Li Yuxi: "Madam, the yard looks quite spacious, I just need to clean it up."

   "Okay, let's bring the animals in first, and unload all the luggage!"

   Several people drove the carriage to the opposite side. Tu Dianshi had already removed the threshold, and the car was driven into the yard. Everyone unloaded their luggage and moved into the backyard, and began to clean the weeds in the yard and the dust in the house.

  Xiaoyu took a rag and went to the stove, and saw that the pots and pans were still in the stove, but they were already covered with dust, and the water tank was full of dust. Several people worked for more than half an hour before cleaning the house.

Ruyi and Xiaoyu took Yang Wei, found Xicheng, bought some meat, found a vegetable seller, bought the remaining pumpkins, winter melons, and vegetables, and settled with the old man who set up a stall selling vegetables. daily vegetables and fruits.

The old man couldn't close his mouth when he smiled, and whispered to the three of them: "Looking at your appearance, you will know that you only came to Qingchuan. Remember, don't go out after dark, the bandits on the mountain often have to go down the mountain and enter the city. , those people are unreasonable."

  Ruyi smiled and nodded, "Thank you, uncle, we will rent the Tu's house opposite the yamen. You can send the dishes to you after every hour."

  The old man nodded, "Oh! It's the home of the envoy Tudian! I know, don't worry, it's guaranteed to be fresh."

Li Yu and Zhou Jia stood at the door of Tu's house, looking at the broken walls opposite, Li Yu pointed to a barren land beside the broken wall of the county government office and said, "Xiao Xi, the city wall and the county government office can only wait for you to report, and if you have the money, Build, you ask if there is a owner of the wasteland next to it, if not, we will buy it and build houses and shops."

Zhou Jia frowned tightly, "Yu'er, we must start construction and repair the city wall as soon as possible, otherwise, we will be in trouble when Daqi recovers from the drought. I plan to wait until Tu Dianshi finds out the specific situation in Qingchuan City. , early tomorrow morning, let Xu Chun and the driver bring a letter back to Qingzhou, ask Shen Wu and the shopkeeper Chu to help, borrow some money and manpower first, and ask someone to build the city wall. Also, the autumn harvest will start soon, and you have to go to the surrounding area of ​​the county. Look, let's spread the news that the court has been exempted from taxes."
