The Adventures of the Mad County King on the Domain [Infrastructure]

The first news came from Jinyang City, where the convoy ran the most diligently.This time Xiaotao went there, and it didn't take much effort to complete the errand.The residents of Jinyang City are already wealthy and have higher requirements for recreational activities than other places.After getting the storybook given by Xiaotao, shopkeeper Wan of Laifu Teahouse immediately asked the storyteller to make up a story and performed it in the teahouse.

The people come here after the Spring Festival and spring plowing after their busy schedules. After tea and dinner, it is uncommon for them to have a small gathering in the teahouse and try some of the most famous snacks in Laifu Teahouse.So, soon, the story became popular in the streets and alleys of Jinyang City.

The popularity was expected by Shopkeeper Wan, but he did not expect that the popularity of these stories was so high.Walking through any corner of the street, you can hear people telling different versions of strange stories to people who have never heard of them, or a few people who have heard them are discussing fiercely.The stories of ghosts and ghosts from the millet land are either thrilling, tortuous, curious, lamentable, or touching and sad. When it comes to rich households, even ladies in deep boudoirs can't help but send their maids to teahouses to record detailed versions and bring them back to retell them.

So, every morning, before Laifu Teahouse opened, customers were already queuing outside to grab a good seat. People with a keen sense of smell simply rested during the day and queued all night to sell the good seats they grabbed at high prices.As for the Laifu Teahouse, following the principle that scalpers earn less than their own, they simply divided the teahouses into grades A, B, Special A, and the most distinguished according to the distance from the stage, and set different minimum consumption amounts. Selling in disguise.The waiters who were yelling and saying hello were no longer needed, and they all called in to entertain the distinguished guests.

Shopkeeper Wan collected the money softly, smiling until the creases on his face seemed to have a halo of joy.For this great favor, he made up his mind early on that no matter what, Xia Tian would spare no time to go to Mi County, bring a big gift, and thank Mr. Xie who spread the money. A large sum of money, such as gnashing his teeth with hatred, has long since been forgotten by him amidst the huge turnover.

This lively scene lasted for less than half a month, and there seemed to be fewer customers queuing up to enter the venue. The shopkeeper Wan noticed it vigilantly, and immediately asked someone to inquire. It turned out that all the people who left were recruited by another teahouse at the end of the street.Xiao Er, who went to be a spy, listened to it for three days and came back to report that there was a strangely dressed wizard who told the same story in that house every day. Although the content was similar, the details were not as detailed as my own. It's just that it pays more attention to the funny elements, and adds a closing folk song at the end.

Shopkeeper Wan scolded "plagiarized counterfeit" in his heart. After all, his own house can't entertain so many guests, so let other people's house also drink some leftovers, leave it alone, and continue counting his money happily.

The same person who received money and received soft hands was Zhao Dahu, the owner of the car and horse dealership.Although Xie Qian didn't stuff the storybook for him - of course, for his profession, stuffing the storybook didn't help much, but it couldn't resist Zhao Dahu's sensitive sense of business opportunities.At the beginning of cooperation with Xie Qian, he was the one who forcibly came to the door.Ever since he heard that the "Shuyang Road" was being built in Shudi, he began to use his brains, and non-stop gathered more than a dozen sturdy mule carts specially designed to carry goods, raised a batch of grains, and sent them to the sensible old traveler at home. Go to the residence of "Mr. Xie" in Mi County.

So, this time, when Xiao Tao came over, the mules and carriages she brought were all provided by Zhao Dahu and improved by Xiying Workshop.Carloads of simple processed mountain products, fresh fruits and vegetables that are rarely seen when they are out of stock, and delicious salted fish were all transported to Zhao Dahu's warehouse at a very favorable price, and it would not take long to store them in a shop he knew well. , will be snapped up by the wealthy city residents.

At this time, Xiaotao had already pulled on a load of building materials purchased by Zhao Dahu, seasonings, spices, and hardware department stores that were not produced in another millet county, and embarked on the return journey back to Xiying.

In this successful pre-judgment, while Zhao Dahu reaped huge profits, he also once again strengthened his determination to build a good relationship with the caravan of "Mr. Xie". He must go there in person.

In this spring, the legendary stories and special products from Mi County have added a lot of talk to the people of Jinyang City.A small place that had no sense of existence in the past has begun to leave an impression in everyone's minds. One impression is that it is delicious, and the other is... what a coincidence, why are all the relics left by gods, ghosts, and monsters in legendary stories in millet? land?What kind of a good place is that?

The same question was conceived and appeared in many different places at the same time.In Deyang County, Jiangyan City, Suining Town, and Shu County in all directions, the shamans bring fascinating stories, show their strengths, and use various methods such as jokes, songs, chants, and recitations to sprinkle seeds on everyone. The counties they traveled through.Although the acceptance of stories varies from place to place, richer places will be more popular. After all, people will have leisure time only when food and clothing are abundant. At the same time, each county’s acceptance of stories is also different. It was written as a briefing and brought to Xie Qian's desk by the carrier pigeon.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is late spring and early summer, and Mi County ushered in the first batch of early rice harvest this year.The golden rice was bent over by the heavy ears of rice, and it also made all the hungry and frightened county residents bend their eyebrows and eyes.

But on the other hand, the closer the wheat harvest is, the greater the pressure on Xie Qian, and he can't wait to go to the field to inspect the field every day.He also asked He Feiyun to dispatch more than half of his staff to inspect the fields three times a day.At the last moment, fire, theft, and wild beasts, as well as guarding against thieves and petty thieves from people with bad intentions, or lazy people, he is worried that he can't eat well, sleep well, unless the rice is harvested and put into the warehouse, his hanging heart can fall back. In situ.

He ran from morning to night for many days. Although summer had not yet passed, the sun was already strong. Xie Qian was tanned several shades, and even the tip of his nose was a little peeled.In the daytime, the wheat-colored skin is definitely not unattractive, and it has a different style, but at night, it is a bit permeable. If you don't turn on the light and smile, you can only see a mouthful of white teeth.He Feiyun couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked someone to order various sunshade hoods and veils, and ordered Xie Qian to wear them all the time when he went out. He also went to the pharmacy and prepared a batch of skin care ointment. Nursing finally curbed Xie Qian's unhealthy trend of turning himself into black charcoal.

Even so, the complexion will not be white for a while.However, enjoying the care of the beautiful general, Xie Qian's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high. Every day at dawn, he runs away without seeing anyone. Today, he will gather a dozen people to repair the facilities. Tomorrow, he will call the cook to discuss the new specialty snacks. , Even the packaging box of dim sum tried to meddle, pointing and demanding a lot, ran away at least a dozen cooks who made the packaging in anger, and finally was ordered by the unbearable Zhang Ergou not to come within ten feet of the stove before giving up.This is a hammer here and a stick here, and the tossing is so miserable that Xiaoxiu can't bear it. She only hates why she didn't get the red head lottery for a business trip back then.

Fortunately, with the completion of various fortifications, Xiaoxiu finally got some clues under the repeated torment of stepping on the spot.It's a pity that before he had time to relax for two days, Xie Qian gave him a new death order, asking him to memorize the route, the terrain, the various procedures, and even talk about it emotionally.

——What kind of mission is this? ? ?It turned out that it only took three sentences to jump from full of complaints to unspeakable misery. Xie Qian is really an unprecedented magic star! !

Xiaoxiu struggled through the days, his cheeks sunken from the busyness, until the first batch of rice was harvested and the second wave of summer planting began, and he finally received another serious job from Xie Qian—issuing a "persuading farmers" announcement, To be temporarily relieved from the inexplicable task.

The content of this announcement is not long, just a few sentences: Farming is encouraged, newly reclaimed wasteland will be exempted from taxation for three years, and existing farmland will only be charged one-fifth of the previous year's tax, and no tax will be increased or changed within three years.

Once it was announced, the entire Shu County was a sensation.The county residents confirmed each other, pulled the little sleeve who came to preach and asked again and again, until the information was confirmed to be correct, everyone was overjoyed, and everyone rushed to celebrate, dancing and singing, celebrating for a whole day and night.Early the next morning, no one was sleeping. Men, women, young and old, the older ones led the younger ones, and the younger ones supported the older ones. They left the county town together in a bustling manner, came to their respective fields, and began to cultivate with hoes.

Busy farming has led to a noticeable decrease in the number of road construction corvees. Xie Qian saw that there was not enough manpower everywhere, so he just left a few to look at the materials, and the rest were all given off for busy farming. When the busy farming was over, Come back and build the road.

Taking advantage of the time when the county residents were busy farming, on a sunny morning when summer officially entered, Xie Qian invited He Feiyun, the three captains, and Xiao Tao who had just returned from Jinyang City to follow the pre-planned route , Embarked on the first summer resort route he planned: a one-day tour of Shujun-Minhe River.

A few people rode out of Xiying early in the morning, and came to the newly completed "Summer Inn" as a starting point.This official inn is located at the junction of East City and West City, which is the busiest place where people travel from south to north.

After recovering throughout the spring, Dongshi is no longer what it used to be, and has become the busiest place in the county.The West Market is a little short for the time being, and it hasn't formed a scale yet, but shops are opening one after another.Turning around and talking about this East Market, there are row upon row of shops, and there are two rows of mobile stalls on the road, needles and thread, rouge and gouache, snacks and cakes, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as long as you can eat and use, you can buy anything in this street. Find everything online.
