Chapter 21 Taking office
After bumping on the road for several days, I finally arrived in Hedong County.Before he came to Hedong County, Zhao Chengping didn't think that he might be excluded here. After all, it was an independent area sent by the central government to not have to report on his work for three years. The hostages, at least the conditions of the inn they live in are not bad, so at least they can live well... right?

Now, Zhao Chengping is standing at the gate of the Captain's Mansion, in a delicate mood. He really wants to know if this house was originally used as a yizhuang. The green grass is lush, and you can hear the slight buzzing of insects when you get close.

"It's very artistic..." Zhao Chengping smiled, and pushed the door to go in, but the door fell to the ground with a sound, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Going further inside, the doors and windows are broken, and the house is full of cobwebs. If this is Lanruo Temple, there is no sense of disobedience.

In my memory, this place is inaccessible on the game map, it is purely background.If I had known it earlier, I would have drawn seriously. After the HD Prison, this is the second time that Zhao Chengping regretted not drawing properly.

"The governor of the county said that the recent war is very tight, and there is no extra money to repair the house for the captain, so I have to ask the captain to do it." A thin soldier said expressionlessly.

As soon as he arrived in Hedong County, Zhao Chengping went directly to the county guard's mansion to visit, thinking that whether it was a warm reception or a slap in the face, it would be good to meet him. Unexpectedly, Wang Ji did not show up because he was busy with military affairs, and only sent a small soldier to general Zhao Taiping took it to his residence.

"If the captain has no other orders, I will take my leave first."

Zhao Chengping smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you."

The little soldier didn't leave, but just stared at him.

Is this waiting for a reward?Didn't do anything, still want to tip?

Since he came here to ask for a reward rather than a beggar, he had to offer something of value. Zhao Chengping thought for a while, "I don't know what the governor of the county likes on weekdays. I will pay a visit tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, it's nothing special. I don't care much about rare things. It's no different from ordinary people's preferences." Xiao Bing spoke weakly.

So you like cash?This is easy. I have saved a lot of money by completing various system tasks before, but since I am always by Mr. Pingyuan's side, I don't even have a chance to spend money.

It wasn't until today that he took a look at the system and found that he already had hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Based on today's purchasing power, you can buy thousands of horses and more than 100 houses in Xianyang.

Money is the best thing to do if you like it. If you like some good horses, beauties, antique calligraphy and paintings, you have to find them for him.

Zhao Chengping checked the past of this soldier, and found that his monthly salary was only 200 yuan. The system of the Qin Dynasty relied on military merits to get rewards. There had been no major wars in Hedong County for a long time, and he couldn't make money for small border conflicts. Disgruntled.

"It's been hard work to walk so far." Zhao Chengping offered 1000 yuan, and the soldier couldn't believe his eyes.

"There are so many, Captain Captain is too polite." Xiao Bing said.

"I'm a newcomer here, and I need everyone's support to do a lot of things well, so I can live up to your majesty's entrustment."

Zhao Chengping looked at this dilapidated house: "Originally, I'm not too particular about where I live, but this place is really dusty, and snakes, insects, rats, and ants come in in the middle of the night, which really disturbs my dreams."

Xiaobing nodded repeatedly, and Zhao Chengping asked, "What's your name?"

"Little man Liu Quan." Liu Quan's voice changed, becoming extremely flattering.

"Liu Quan, then I'll trouble you to find a few people to tidy up this house. Do you think it will work? Don't worry, I will pay for everything." Zhao Chengping said with a smile.

The rich man has a destiny, how can he not obey it?

Liu Quan hastily agreed, and ran out to call for someone.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside. Liu Shen was followed by a large number of people, holding different tools in their hands. They happily ran into the house and met Zhao Chengping: "I have met the captain!"

Liu Quanyi waved his hand:

"Everyone move!"

The carpenter began to saw the wood, and the gardener was busy pulling out the weeds in the yard. The originally desolate yard was in full swing, and it was only a matter of pulling up a banner: Work hard and work hard for three hours, as a tribute to the captain's appointment.

It was really noisy, Zhao Chengping said to Liu Quan: "Why don't you take me out for a stroll, and come back when it's almost finished."

Liu Quan responded with a smile all over his face, and shouted to the craftsmen who were working: "I will take the captain out to check the people's conditions first, and hurry up with your hands."

Everyone responded in unison: "Hey!"

The prosperity of Hedong County and Xianyang is naturally incomparable. There are not even hawkers on the main road, and there are no pedestrians in the afternoon.

Dogs and chickens basking in the sun are lying neatly on the outer wall of the houses on the sunny side, and it seems that their owners are not worried that they will be taken away by others.

"It seems that the folk customs are very simple."

"Isn't that right? We have been preparing for war all year round. Every time there is a war, we recruit young men from each family. It is said that they are neighbors, and they are also fateful friendship." Liu Quan was very emotional.

Zhao Chengping knew that he once wanted to join the army, but unfortunately every time people saw him, they laughed at him for his thin body, and he wanted to join the army because he wanted to get paid for it.

He also thought about practicing his leg strength so that he could be a scout, but he was born with night blindness, so who would want such a scout?
"People are always useful." Zhao Chengping said.

Liu Quan shook his head and smiled wryly, "Your Excellency, you don't need to comfort me. I've been used to it for so many years."

From his past experience, he really didn't find anything particularly outstanding about him. Zhao Chengping asked:
"Then what do you usually do for a living?"

"I have a better memory for guarding the gate for the county governor. I can remember his appearance and official position for anyone I have met."

Zhao Chengping looked at him in surprise: "This ability is very powerful, it has a photographic memory!"

Liu Quan laughed: "What's the use? Is it to rush to the enemy and remember what he looks like before beheading him?"

Seeing him giving up on himself, Zhao Chengping patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm born to be useful!"

The county seat is not big, so I finished my shopping in no time. It was similar to the map in my memory. The houses I drew at that time became the residences of ordinary people.

In order to highlight the style of this place that has been burned by war all year round, the houses designed are low and simple, and the walls are mostly built of grass roots and branches mixed with soil, and there are not many houses with brick and tile structures.

After really being there, Zhao Chengping felt very sad, he was responsible for all of this.

Suddenly, a bright color on the window sill of a family jumped into the eyes. It turned out to be an unknown flower swaying gently in the breeze.

"Unexpectedly, flowers can still bloom in such a harsh environment." Zhao Chengping sighed.

Liu Quan also saw it, and he turned his head: "It's a good fate, otherwise, even if you have a flowering mind, you won't be able to fly to the high platform."

Just as he was talking, a bowl stretched out from the window, and a small hand held it, carefully pouring water on the roots.

It turned out that someone was taking care of it.

The two approached the house together, and now they could see clearly that it was a little girl who was only about seven or eight years old. Zhao Chengping asked:

"Girl doll, is this the flower you planted?"

The little girl was a little scared, and looked at him blankly.

Zhao Chengping smiled softly at her: "This flower is really beautiful."

The little girl bit her finger in embarrassment: "Yeah."

"Qiaoqiao, who are you talking to?" A woman came out from the back room and saw Liu Quan: "Hey, brother Liu, who is this?"

"The new Captain Zhao Chengping."

The woman hurried out to greet her: "So it turns out that the construction of the Duwei's Mansion was just for this lord?"

"The location of this flower is really special." Zhao Chengping pointed to the little flower.

The woman smiled and said: "The girl picked it up somewhere outside, she liked it very much, so she planted it on the window sill. I thought I wouldn't survive, but I didn't expect it to be very energetic."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the two said goodbye and left. Zhao Chengping said to Liu Quan, "I can give you a chance to fly up to the high platform, and it depends on your ability to stand firm."

In the past, Liu Quan heard only cynicism, how could anyone talk to him like that, he wondered again:
"My lord and I are just meeting for the first time, why are you willing to praise me, a useless person?"

Zhao Chengping looked sincere: "With my many years of experience in knowing people, I can tell at a glance that you are an honest and reliable person with great ambitions, but you have no way to serve the country!"

Liu Quan was almost moved to tears.
