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

Another cook said: "It's more than that! Just thinking about how to simplify the recipe of the imperial dining room, use the simplest ingredients and the most crude heat, and restore the food that is not worse than the original formula, it is enough for me to think about it for a lifetime!"

"Yeah! Why didn't I have this idea in the imperial dining room! It's strange to say that I didn't understand the 'eighteen layers of strength' mentioned in the ancient food recipe before. I only kneaded three layers at most, but General He's 'physical training' has persisted until now, and I seem to have a vague grasp of the way!"

"Don't talk about it, who would have thought that this physical training would have such a miraculous effect! Even making noodles feels more powerful than before! Emotional pasta and pasta, people who lie down every day can't do it, and they still need to exercise their muscles and bones , Only when you have strength in your body can you do well!"

"It's not just pasta, it's the same with stir-fried vegetables too! At the beginning, the hand was so sour that I couldn't lift it after a few times of frying in a big pot. The upper half of the pot was still sandwiched with raw meat, and the bottom was already mushy. Now, haha, the big shovel that the craftsman transformed for us, To be honest, I’m afraid I can’t even carry it in Chang’an!”

"Yes, yes! I used to feel uncomfortable lying on the cushions, but now I don't sleep much, but I am full of energy every day. I am afraid that lying down for a while will delay the time to try the new menu, and all the discomfort is gone!"

The cooks exchanged ideas, and the Flying Eagle soldiers passed by to listen to them, and from time to time they added a few words to the topic.

Listening to the gossip, Xie Qian finally realized that many changes along the way are gradually showing results, and in the future, there must be more fruits waiting to be harvested.He swept away the depression in his chest, and the little thought that was tossing and turning was squeezed into a corner by countless future plans, and was temporarily put on hold.

Departing the next day, two small-scale gangsters were pacified on the road. Finally, before the first snow fell in early winter, the convoy arrived at the destination——Miao County with a lot of wind and dust.

Shu County is located in the southwestern hinterland of the Dayue Kingdom. Although it is not considered a border, its geographical location surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side makes it destined to be remote and far away, and the folk customs are aggressive.If I had to find one advantage, it would probably only be... the warmer winter.

Standing on the top of the mountain, Xie Qian overlooked this piece of land that belonged to him, and his chest was once again ignited with a raging ambition, vowing to eat and wait for death in this land, drunk and dreamed of death.If He Feiyun is willing, he can also sleep with him and die.

However, the sky did not follow his wishes, and after he had driven the mountain road for a day and a half, he finally came to this majestic and majestic city from a distance, but it was like a ruined city when he saw it up close. Seconds, it snapped, completely and completely extinguished.

Through the holes everywhere, one wonders why the city wall has not yet collapsed. You can see that the houses in the city are in disarray, the roads are full of chores and rocks, there is no sound of chickens and dogs, and even the voices of people seem to be mixed in the cold wind. sobbing.On the road, although there are sporadic subjects coming and going, they are listless, ragged, and emaciated, and their eyes are even more dull. They walk frivolously among the rice paddies, picking up discarded items from the ruins from time to time. Wooden boards and branches, living people under the clear sky and bright sun, are three points more like wandering spirits.

Facing a gray and dead city, Xie Qian felt really bad.

I thought that there would be a town in the beginning, no matter how unlucky it was, at least there would be a village.As a result, I went to the scene to see, what a dream, not even a piece of wasteland, it is no different from starting from scratch!

Seeing his pale face and dull eyes, Xiao Tao Xiaoxiu couldn't stand it anymore, Xiao Tao spoke first, and said cautiously: "Well... don't be discouraged, the king, are these just scavengers from the outer city? The outer city wall It’s not a big problem if it’s dilapidated, but it’s definitely not the case in the inner city, let’s go into the city, maybe the sheriff’s mansion has already been tidied up, and we’ll just wait for the king to move in!”

Xie Qian let out a long sigh.

Xiaoxiu also persuaded: "There are not many beggars and refugees outside the city. When the county king settles down, set up some porridge sheds to accommodate them. Let's go."

Xie Qian: "Don't say too much, let alone Chang'an, at least outside Jinyang City, there will never be so many beggars."

Xiaotao: "..." The county king is getting more and more difficult to coax.

Xiaoxiu: "..." Could it be that he has been with General He for a long time and has been assimilated?

Xie Qian: "As for the county guard's mansion, I can make a bet with you that the situation will only be worse than here."

Xiaotao was surprised at this moment, and said, "Impossible? Destroying government offices is a serious crime of beheading. How dare they?!"

Xiaoxiu also said: "Yes, what's more, Your Majesty even rewarded you with the county palace. No matter how slow the messengers run, they should arrive before us. The county king doesn't have to be so pessimistic. Let's go and see it first. !"

Xie Qian pointed at it from a distance, and said: "Look carefully, these scavengers who come and go are all so thin, but the strange thing is that the clothes are tattered, but they are not dirty. On the contrary, some of them are more dirty than ours. tidy."

Xiaotao set up an awning and looked at it for a while, then said in amazement: "How could this be? If these scavengers are not refugees, but county residents who have settled here, how could they be reduced to such a miserable situation?"

Xiao Xiu also said: "What they carry are... wood? When the wood is removed from the city, where are they going to carry it?"

Xie Qian didn't explain any of the questions. In fact, he knew no more than Xiaotao Xiaoxiu, so he couldn't explain it.Xie Qian: "These people don't stay with each other, but they don't fight for each other. Maybe it's because firewood and fuel are not considered urgent needs at the moment, or maybe they live in the same area at all. Even if they don't know each other, they are familiar with each other. "

The three of them stood quietly for a while, and Xiao Tao said angrily, "It's strange, there are so many mountains around, and there are trees everywhere on the mountains, and the firewood for heating in winter can be taken from the mountains, but why did they demolish the ready-made houses?" ? Isn’t this sick?!”

Xie Qian: "Well..."

Xiaoxiu: "Did the king see anything? Did you guess the reason why they demolished the house?!"

Xie Qian: "...No, Gu was just thinking—"

Xiao Tao Xiaoxiu: "What?!"

Xie Qian: "If I go to General He with my family, will he drive us out?!"

Xiaotao: "...Jun Wang, you really know how to joke."

Xiaoxiu: "...you can just say you want to go to General He, and take back the second half of the sentence. But... a good county guard can't live in the mansion, so he went to live in the barracks on the first day. The county king is too A little blatant?!"

Xie Qian skipped the process of discussing (disputing) with the two of them, and directly made a decision: "It is decided here. Xiaotao, give orders, everyone turn around and go to Xiying!"

Xiaoxiu was shocked, stopped Xie Qian's horse, and said: "Your Majesty, this is unreasonable. Anyway, the convoy has to go to the Sheriff's Mansion first, and it's okay to go through the motions!! No one is rushing to get in the door!!"

Xie Qian was condescending, looking deeply at Xiao Xiu, his serious expression made Xiao Xiu hold his breath, not daring to say another word.After waiting for a short while, Xie Qian said earnestly, solemnly, word by word: "How can you use the word upside down? You must use it, and you must use the word 'married in'. You have traveled thousands of miles, you I don’t know how this child is related.”

Xiaotao: "..."

Xiaoxiu: "..." No, Duke, is this what you are concerned about? !
