Nanyang County is under the jurisdiction of Hexi Prefecture, located in the southwest, and belongs to a medium-sized county. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There are more than 10 villages such as Shangming Village, Liushudong, Liugu Road, Chapoding, Dongying Village, Baihejian and so on, among which Beishudong and Zhongjia Village are the most people, each village has tens of thousands of people, the population of Shiliting, East, West, Nan and Beiba villages is basically average in 100 people but not 1,000, and then the remaining few small villages are not enough to mention, and some are not enough even 100 people.
Nanyang County is divided into four areas, divided into four cities, southeast, northwest and northwest, the east city is inhabited by some medium-sized people, and the yamen is located in the east city, which means the rising sun, the sunrise in the east, representing the light and justice.
The south of the city is mostly a residential area, and most of them are places where people with status live, simply put, they are the residences of rich people; The north of the city is a place that monopolizes the economic lifeline of the entire Nanyang, and almost all of the night markets, markets, food, accommodation, and entertainment are here.
In the west of the city, there are some small people living in the city.
The west of the city is a special existence in Nanyang, and the reason why it is special is because of a special area in the west of the city - the refugee slum. Most of the people living in the slums are displaced people from all over the country, who have no land, no housing, no household registration, and rely on selling double labor to support their wives and children.
This day is Xiu Mu, Yang Wenqing finally couldn't help it, she finished breakfast, ordered someone to prepare a carriage, she decided to travel, yes, travel in the rain.
I think she came here for half a month, except for the first day, it rained every day after that, after she met those old men, she also wanted to say that she would find a time to go to the west of the city to see and understand the situation, how do you know that it will drag on for so long, thinking of the situation in the west of the city, she can't sit down.
Yang Wenqing changed the silk clothes she wore daily in the room, and put on the blue-bottomed coarse cloth scholar's robe found by Steward Shen, wearing a gray scholar's hat on her head, she took a picture on the dioras that Steward Shen got back, although she was not very satisfied with the effect of this dress-up, but this coarse coat has been able to hide her elegance and glory, and it can be regarded as fulfilling her responsibility, she stopped and stared at the handsome person in the mirror, sure enough, the person is good-looking, even if she removes the cloud costume and puts on the coarse shirt, she can't stop her style.
He stomped open the door and went out, Steward Shen was already guarding there, and when he saw her come out, he immediately said respectfully, "My lord, the carriage is ready at the back door, and it can leave at any time." ”
"Hmm." Yang Wenqing nodded, after taking a few steps, she paused again, turned around and smiled at Steward Shen, "What prepared for you in those days was okay?" ”
"Don't worry, my lord, the servants have done everything you ordered, and the city will be safely saved through this rainy season." Steward Shen replied respectfully.
Yang Wenqing nodded, the two of them talked one after the other, and soon arrived at the back door, Qingliu was already waiting there in his robe, and when he saw his son-in-law coming, he hurriedly smiled and opened the curtain, Yang Wenqing smiled slightly, and said to Shen Guanshi, "You go back." Then he got into the carriage without looking back, and then Qingliu also jumped into the carriage, whipped up the carriage and went away.
Walking on rainy days, the road is wide and sparsely populated, there is no obstruction along the way, and it is in the CX area in half an hour, Yang Wenqing opened the curtains and looked at the scenery outside, the carriage was not fast or slow in the drizzle, there were shops on both sides of the road, all kinds of clothing, food, housing and transportation, Xu was because of the rainy day, but there were no people, occasionally you could see one or two young guys in the front desk dozing off little by little, the corners of Yang Wenqing's mouth couldn't help but hook, these little guys are really comfortable~
The carriage walked through an inn, it was a grain store, different from other stores, but here was a bustling and noisy group of people, Yang Wenqing was surprised, and asked Qingliu to stop the car, Qingliu didn't ask, anyway, what the son did was right.
Yang Wenqing held the curtain in his hand, and looked at the grain store with a pair of starry eyes, and his ears were long to listen.
"Shopkeeper, what is the price of rice today?" A middle-aged man in his thirties asked.
"Although it is a rainy day, the county magistrate has already said hello, but the price increase is not high, it is three cents higher than the original." The shopkeeper put out three chubby fingers, and although he smiled, there was bitterness in his eyes.
"Only three pennies up?" Someone was surprised, "Isn't that just eighteen years ago?" This is much cheaper in previous years, but at this time in previous years, it was sold for twenty-five wen a catty, and it caught up with the price of meat. ”
"Yes, yes." Someone chimed in.
"This price is acceptable, I was going to buy some brown rice and soybeans mixed together, but now when I hear this price, my heart is also a little calmer, thanks to the blessing of the county commander, you give me a twenty catties first."
"Bring me ten catties too, and ask for fifteen catties of brown rice at will, so that you can eat for a longer time."
"How much is brown rice a pound? So what kind of price is Xiaomi? “
Someone spoke, naturally everyone will not fall, one person did not forget to bring a word of thanks to Yang Wenqing, for a while the whole grain shop was very hot, the shopkeeper's eyes were still bitter, but seeing so many people, everyone was not disappointed, the business was booming, he also had a good impression of the county order in his heart, and the guys in the store were busy sweating, Yang Wenqing silently put down the curtain and said, "Let's go." “
Qingliu outside the car heard it, glanced at the lively grain shop opposite, and happily whipped and left.
"Childe, they were all praising you just now!" Clear stream and honorable road.
After a moment of silence, Yang Wenqing hummed, "Although they praise me, I don't dare to take credit for your son-in-law." It's just that I asked the master to show my official authority, the so-called three fires for new officials to take office, they have to give it even if they don't give face, besides, the people don't fight with the officials. ”
"In recent years, the harvest has been good in various places, the local grain is also sufficient, and the warehouses are full. They are very well-informed, and in the past, they dared to raise the price of meat, but it was just the connivance of the previous county order. ”
"Childe, are those county orders greedy for a lot of money in them?" Qingwan looked at Yang Wenqing through the curtain, "You have looked at the scrolls and affairs of the former county commander in the entire study these days, have you found a lot?" ”
"Hehe, it's still our family's clear stream that is smart enough, and you can guess it." Yang Wenqing did not hesitate to praise it, in fact, Qingliu said it well, she did find a lot of interesting things, but those have passed, and there is no need to turn them out.
"Is there a pharmacy up ahead?" There was a faint medicinal fragrance wafting in the air with the wind, Yang Wenqing could smell it in the carriage, and while she asked Qingliu, her hand involuntarily lifted the curtains.
At the same time as the curtain was opened, the medicinal fragrance became even stronger, and the moist rain came with a strong medicinal fragrance.
Qingliu replied, this time he automatically and spontaneously parked the carriage on the side of the medicine shop without Yang Wenqing telling him.
Yang Wenqing looked at the pharmacy from the carriage, the pharmacy was at the corner of the bluestone road, at the end of this street, the geography was not too good, and it was not too bad. Several shops next to it are closed, and I don't know what they sell, not even a plaque.
The name of the pharmacy is Baoantang, the shop looks like a hundred square meters, behind the high counter is the medicine cabinet, there is a small guy standing inside who is busy grabbing medicine, outside the counter in front of the small guy stands an old man with white hair and a face full of vicissitudes, the old man is dressed in clothes and sewn and repaired I don't know how many patches, why it looks like none of them are good, it looks extremely shabby, that is, the shoes on the feet are exposed with five toes, and the straw sandals are no different.
In addition, there were people sitting on chairs for rest and waiting, looking anxious or light, and in general, this pharmacy was extremely simple.
