I took the car back to the Xianshui Palace, and the car drove directly into the garage.

The house was very warm, and it was cold for a winter last year, so even if Wang Lanling didn't say anything this year, Lei A and Zhao Wenrou also installed heating.

Wang Lanling looked at the children and found that they were all sleeping, so he did not disturb the rest of these children.

"It's a little overcast, and it looks like it's going to snow again."

Wang Lanling looked at the sky, and in the winter afternoon, it was always exceptionally quiet and boring.

Victoria said: "Madame, the little lady and the little love are all reading in the study, knitting sweaters, now there is still some time before dinner, today's staple food is potato stewed beef, mushroom pork vermicelli, side dishes are garlic scrambled eggs, stewed meat eggplant, lamb ......"

"It's okay, it's okay as usual." Wang Lanling is not picky about food requirements, and his current diet is already okay.

Victoria nodded and said, "Yes, then I'll go and prepare some tea and fruits for you." ”

Wang Lanling smiled and said, "Let the subordinates prepare some tea to your room, I haven't been to your place for a long time, so let's go with Minol." ”

The blonde royal sister standing on the side quickly nodded quietly and agreed, she hadn't had sex with Wang Lanling for a month.

Victoria said the same, and said quietly, "Yes, then I will serve you to take a bath." ”

Wang Lanling walked towards Victoria's house and said, "Don't worry, do what you are doing first, and explain to your wife by the way, so as not to be noisy by children." ”

"Yes!" Victoria and Minore quickly began to make arrangements.

After having a child, many things are inconvenient.

Not only for Minol and Victoria, but also for Zhao Wenrou and Lu Leia, unless it's night, children will always cry unexpectedly and call their mother.

Elena is pregnant, that is, she is going to give birth this month, so Wang Lanling didn't bother her.

At present, Wang Lanling's concubines are mainly maidservants who were collected in Tongzhou, such as the garden drama that Lao Zhao bought for him from Yunzhou, and Wang Lanling is only treated as a play.

There are old women, children, men and women in the troupe, playing different roles.

Although there are also women in it who want to put on Wang Lanling's thigh, this thigh is not easy to hold, and now there are more than ten people queuing up every month, and Wang Lanling is even more restrained in this regard.

Under the service of two beautiful maids, Wang Lanling soon spent a wonderful and warm winter.

Even though this year is relatively colder, the people here in Shanhai County still live a heart-warming life.

The villagers have enough food to survive the winter, enough cotton clothes and quilts to keep out the cold, and some cheap beef, sheep and duck meat to eat.

Compared with when Wang Lanling didn't come, the people in the city lived a good life that they never imagined.

Cheap enough for every household to burn briquettes overnight to keep out the cold, as well as new flour clothes distributed to workers for free, and iron pots that gradually became worthless, all in just one year.

The current people of Shanhai County have gradually lost the importance of the iron pot as before, and every household can afford to buy and use the big iron pot.

At this time last year, iron pots were still a scarce thing.

Compared with Shanhai County, Linshan County next door is much worse.

As long as people are compared, then some people are unhappy.

It's just a small thing that people in Linshan County are unhappy, and there are more unhappy people in other places.

In a tavern in Jinshan County, Muzhou, a group of veterans wearing military coats were eating and drinking.

"I don't know if I can get some money before the Chinese New Year this year, every year is the beginning of spring, why can't I send it a while ago?"

A veteran eats cornmeal, swells the cornmeal and makes steamed buns, forms a small ball and puts it in his mouth.

There are different ways to eat the same steamed buns, just like watermelon can be cut horizontally, vertically, diagonally, large and small, and steamed bread can also be eaten in many ways. On the opposite side, a man wearing an old army coat pressed the steamed bun in his hand on the small plate in front of him, and put a slice of white sugar into his mouth.

While eating, he took a big bite and said: "The people above have made a lot of money this year, so it shouldn't be anything for us to ask for a little, boss, what do you think?" ”

Jin Lijiang was brushing the remaining oil and water on the plate with steamed bread, and after hearing it, he still slowly and carefully polished the plate brightly, and put the last bit of oil and water into his mouth together with the steamed bread.

"It's hard to say, let's see if we can find a business before the New Year."

Huang Deli quickly said: "The camp next door has made a fortune selling leather shoes, how about we also get some leather shoes to be sold out?" ”

Jin Lijiang sneered, "They are selling leather boots to send bullets, where are we going to get bullets?" Not to mention bullets, do you yourself say that you still have guns? ”

Huang Deli was a little dissatisfied, his gun had long been exchanged for money, and it was used to go to the kiln to relax for two nights.

This kind of thing is nothing, smoking, drinking and playing with women, which one doesn't need money?

All young masters and officers can take women into the barracks for a night without shame, so they are not allowed to have a little fun?

Zhuo San next to him said: "It's a pity that our side is not an artillery battalion, the infantry battalion is the worst in the entire army, and the cavalry battalion and artillery battalion are not fat?" ”

Jin Lijiang stood up and said, "It's all honest, I'll invite you for today's meal, and I'll go back after eating." ”

The rest of the people also stood up one after another, all a little worried.

The weather was very cold, and those of them who were soldiers were poor and clanged.

Jin Lijiang called the shopkeeper and said, "How much is it?" ”

The shopkeeper said with a straight face: "One piece of five." ”

After Jin Lijiang paid the money, he walked out with his subordinates.

As soon as he walked out, Huang Deli scolded: "Phew! Dogs look down on people! If this store hadn't sent my daughter to join the army, I would have smashed this broken shop! ”

Zhuo San said with a hippie smile: "Now there are few people in this county who dare to open shops on the street, but there are few who have no backers. ”

Those who have no backers are all eaten and bankrupt by their soldiers.

These people are a bunch of things that they eat and take.

The county guard of Jinshan County is a good officer, but he can't control the people in the army.

He dealt with these bandits several times, but these bandits are the kind of bandits who come out to make trouble one by one, and when one is caught, a group of young men wearing military coats with guns come over and force you to release them.

There is no reason to speak with these people, and the governor is unwilling to offend the people in the army for these things, so the security of Jinshan County has been very poor since before Wang Lanling entered Muzhou.

Not only are the merchants and vendors on the street afraid of these military people who often go into the city to relax, but even the ordinary people avoid them, and when these people see beautiful girls, they must go up and make a few self-righteous teasing words and say some self-righteous words.

"Bang!"

There was a gunshot in the distance, and Jin Lijiang didn't look back after hearing it, and said calmly: "Don't make trouble, go back." ”

Huang Deli said very unhappily: "Which unit is fighting with which army again, now this Jinshan County is about to be divided by a few masters." ”

When Zhuo San heard this, he forgot that he was also one of them, and suddenly said with some sympathy: "This county guard of Jinshan County is also pitiful, he can't do anything well, he is scolded by the people below all day long, hated by the people in the camp, and looked down on by the rest of the officials. ”

Huang Deli sneered: "Poor what, this is incompetence! If you want to replace him with Wang Lanling of Heishui County, who dares to make trouble? ”

Huang Deli only refuted for the sake of refutation, and did not know whether what he said was reasonable or not.

In his understanding, he only knew that Wang Lanling was a good official who dared to offend others in order to do things.

Because of the distance, Wang Lanling is a good official in Huang Deli and many people's understanding.

If he was asked if he was willing to let Wang Lanling be the Taishou of Jinshan County, then he would definitely be unwilling.

According to the laws of the imperial court, these people should not enter the city.

As soon as they returned to the camp, a soldier ran in.

"Sold and bought! It's time to go out and catch a fat sheep! Tomorrow, tomorrow! ”

Huang Deli quickly showed a happy look, "Okay! Lao Tzu is waiting for this day this year! ”

Jin Lijiang continued to sit on the side, he couldn't get out of the general trend here, once he broke away from these large troops, then it would be easy to be shot by his subordinates and framed to death by the people above.

This winter has not been easy for people in most parts of Muzhou.

As more and more people do business, the problems in Kanayama County are getting worse and worse.

Neither the state pastor nor the general of the state can contain this gradually boiling torrent.

Not only do they not give the problem to someone who can solve it, but they also try to hide something.

***

Emperor Wenwu once again saw something familiar, and the secret agents of Muzhou said that the officers and soldiers of Muzhou plundered the county seat and pastoral areas of the pioneers, plundered the livestock of the population, and forced many people to make trouble.

He asked the rest of the people about this kind of thing several times, and he also received explanations from senior officials such as the Muzhou Military Department and the State Pastor, and the problem was not serious, it was just a small matter.

But it feels like it's been several times......

Although Emperor Wenwu didn't realize that it was just a question that he had read about several times, he still decided to investigate it in a different way.

"Someone, send a county-level inspection director from Tongzhou to Muzhou to investigate this matter."
