Didn't think about the refrigerator anymore, it hasn't reached the point where you need it yet.

Usually cooking and buying vegetables is someone else's business, Wang Lanling just needs to enjoy it, once he gets used to this kind of life, he will actually fade for what pursuit and the like.

The time of rapid development of science and technology is that time, and most of them are realized after the fact.

Lei A walked in and told Wang Lanling about talking to Zhang Zhu in Wangjiabao just now, and Zhang Zhu was going to move to Sangmu Town.

Wang Lanling said: "I know this, I am also helping with this, there is still some time before eating, I will not eat at home tonight, you can eat by yourself." ”

After Zhao Wenrou heard it, she quickly said, "Husband, do you want to help the yamen again?" There are so many people in the yamen, how can they all pile things on you, what are these people doing to eat! ”

When he was angry, Zhao Wenrou had the anger and majesty of Lao Zhao.

Wang Lanling explained: "It's not a matter of the yamen, but it's okay, I'm going to the county commander's house, although today is just a small section, but I should also walk around, the county order is not at home, and the slaves at home are also sent over there, I need to go over and sit." ”

Zhao Wenrou still frowned, he didn't like this kind of personal contact, and he didn't think it was necessary.

Rea understood the significance of this and said, "Then the lady will go with her, and I will eat at home alone." ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "I'll take Jin Er over, go and prepare some eggs and melons and fruits, and I'll buy some meat on the way." ”

Zhao Wenrou and Lei A are both the type that are not suitable for taking out, Zhao Wenrou is not very good at talking, and it is easy to scare children, and what is even worse is that she herself can't realize what contempt she has made.

Lei A is because of his identity, not only the concubine, but also the daughter of a sinner, Wang Lanling and Lei A don't want to say anything, whether it is good or bad, it is easy to be remembered.

Seeing that Wang Lanling had made a decision, the rest of the people did not object, and Zhao Wenrou didn't like to go to other people's houses for dinner, so he didn't say anything.

Simply prepared some things, the two boxes of lychees sent by Cangdian, Wang Lanling kept one box for himself, and washed the other box that was not touched and took it.

The box was not small, Jin Er moved the box to the car, and was busy with preparations, and then took Wang Lanling to Guanshi Street, which was not too far away.

Riverside Street is a quieter and more remote street, with only one road to the east of the city, while Guanshi Street is a frequent place for the city's traders and artisans, as well as the city's more famous entertainment districts, such as casinos and brothels.

I bought some mutton, because I had been on the grassland for a long time, and the county order family liked to eat beef and mutton.

The car arrived in front of the Dongfang family's mansion, which was originally the residence of a certain county magistrate, and now the people are no longer in Yunzhou, and houses like this belong to welfare treatments.

There must be a local in the prefectural order and the prefectural governor, and sometimes both of them are locals, and only after reaching the county level must have a non-local official.

Generally, such an official's residence can be subsidized, and a suitable one can be selected from the vacant house managed by the imperial court.

Wang Lanling did not have this qualification when he was the director, and even now, he did not have it, and he had to be at the level of the county order to live in such a big house at a low price.

There are many bad things in feudal society, if you lose your power as an official, forget it, at most, you will take your whole family to the border and become an official.

But if you make the mistake of killing your head, then you will be raiding your home.

The family's house property, money, and women will become someone else's.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing is not as simple as corruption and bribery, most of them have made mistakes of principle and were used by the emperor to vent his anger.

Being an official also has risks, but it is indeed majestic, and before considering the consequences, it is better to see if you have the ability to climb to that high position.

The term of office of the prefectural ordinance is five years, neither long nor short.

Wang Lanling must have a good relationship with the county order, otherwise there is a boss who has been turning off the lights against him, and basically nothing can be done.

"Prince Wang!" The gatekeeper of the county commander's house saw Wang Lanling coming over and quickly stepped forward to say hello.

Wang Lanling said politely: "When I just went home, I remembered that today is the summer solstice, and I happened to have some melons, fruits and eggs at home, and I prepared some meat and vegetables, and I came to the door to talk about some." ”

The servant knew the relationship between Wang Lanling and his family, and said happily: "Please come in, please come in, I will go to inform the lady and the young master." ”

"Okay, I'm in trouble." Wang Lanling agreed, and stood aside to watch Jin Er move the things off the car.

Soon a few people came out of the house to help with things, but there were not many things.

Mrs. Dongfang and Dongfang Wei's son Dongfang Ang also came out, and after a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, they went to the main hall to sit.

"It's cooking at home, I'm going to work for a while." Dongfang Ang's wife quickly took over the cooking.

Mrs. Dongfang and Dongfang Ang, as well as several other people in the family, accompanied her.

After the servant served tea, Mrs. Dongfang said: "I haven't seen you come over these days, and I heard that you have been very busy lately, so I didn't go to your place to sit." ”

Wang Lanling said: "It's really a little busy, often going out early and returning late, and there is no time to be idle, I lived in the camp earlier, but now it has gradually stabilized, and my subordinates know how to do it, so it's a little lighter." ”

Mrs. Dongfang nodded approvingly, "It's good to be busy, this is a skill, my family Ang'er is idle at home all day, and I am anxious when I look at it." ”

Hearing about Dongfang Ang's matter, Wang Lanling also said embarrassedly: "This is something that can't be helped, you always have to avoid suspicion, like Liu Fufeng before because his father was idle because his father was the governor, and the eldest son of my father-in-law's family, also because his father was the director of the Inspection Department, and finally became a small official in the official department." ”

Mrs. Dongfang said happily: "There are many people in the army who have sent their children to the camp and slowly ascended, originally I thought the same, but I didn't expect to be transferred here before I started." ”

This is a good thing, for Lady of the East.

Wang Lanling didn't know much about things in the army, but he often heard Dongfang Wei talk about some things, and knew that Dongfang Wei was not suitable for it.

The main members of the army are the descendants of the meritorious people who fought with Emperor Yanwu in all directions, and there are three or four generations for more than 70 years, and these people have formed a strong spider web when they are reproduced.

Family planning should not be implemented in this era, basically forcing people to rebel, and the current emperor does not have that kind of prestige.

Kill a few officials in Longzhou, even if you want to make the people of the world cut off their children and grandchildren, it is equivalent to rebellion.

The consequence of uncontrolled childbirth is that the number of various meritorious nobles begins to become more and more bloated, constantly squeezing the living space of ordinary people around them.

Land annexation was not serious, it was a matter of the late dynasties, and now it is mainly ordinary people who are becoming more and more difficult to squeeze into the circle of power.

Longzhou exceptions...... There are too many officials who died there, so many people can squeeze in, and some meritorious nobles and royal relatives don't like to be officials in Longzhou, they are all satisfied with being a rich son.

Heishui County is also gradually forming a family, and several families are testing the bottom line of imperial power step by step, and constantly raising the threshold to the point where there are only their own people through the efforts of generations.

Now that this is happening all over the country, it seems that the situation is already starting to get worse.

Although Wang Lanling felt that some bad signs were appearing in this country, it didn't have much to do with him, and this kind of thing was not something that someone could change.

Dongfang Ang doesn't like his family to talk about his own affairs in front of Wang Lanling, he is married and has children, and he is several years older than Wang Lanling.

"Cangdian also sent subsidies to us, and last time my father came back, he said that there are a lot of fruits in Shanzhou, and they are delicious, but they are easy to rot."

Wang Lanling said: "I haven't been to Shanzhou, others say that it is similar to the county, if I have the opportunity, I also want to go and see, and it is separated by two mountains." ”

After Dongfang Ang heard it, he said: "Anyway, it's better than Muzhou, except for a few cities on the Muzhou side, the rest of the place is very desolate, full of weeds, mountains and rivers. ”

Wang Lanling said: "I heard that the environment in Muzhou is very good, there are mountains and waters, and it is also suitable for farming. ”

Pioneers are people who go to the four sides to pioneer, not only overseas, but also on the edge of the empire's land territory, and it is also this group of people who are constantly laying down house fences, slashing and fishing.

The knife is to kill beasts and enemies, the ploughing is to plough the land, the fishing is to build a fishing ground, and the fire is to burn down the problematic place with a fire.

Seeing the two of them talking about Muzhou, Mrs. Dongfang, who had lived in Muzhou for many years, said: "What pioneers, they are all a group of people who couldn't get along before, and I don't know how many people have cried and begged to go back over the years." ”

Wang Lanling felt a little strange and said: "It should be some pampered people, if it is a person who has suffered hardship, he has already adapted to it." ”

Dongfang Ang sneered, then realized that something was wrong, and quickly explained: "Our side is different from Muzhou, the people over there still use knives to fight, and the things used for cooking are all made by themselves, and the clothes and cement sold there every year are limited, not to mention bicycles and watches, which are only available to officials in the army." ”

Mrs. Dongfang also explained: "The imperial court is very strict with this, and whoever dares to give things in the army to outsiders is guilty of killing the head and harming the family, so there are few people over there who know how to read and write and do arithmetic, and they can do things, and the few golden people who gave you have studied with us for a year or two, which is different." ”

Only then did Wang Lanling realize what the empire had done to those pioneers, and that the country's overseas markets seemed to have been treated as a barbarian land for exiles from the beginning.

It's not just exile, it's about the spread of knowledge and technology, it's all about keeping the mentality.

Wang Lanling said suspiciously: "Muzhou, is it too peaceful?" ”

Dongfang Ang smiled, "There are often pioneers who rebel, but they are all killed, those who dance knives and guns, where is my father's musket formation!" ”

Wang Lanling showed an embarrassed look and changed the topic, "Let's talk about something else, there are ducks in my house that have started laying eggs recently, earlier than those hens, the eggs sent this time were bought, and those hens at home are estimated to be a few days away." ”

The topic of Muzhou was not suitable for discussion, Wang Lanling had always believed that those pioneers had sent a large amount of grain and fur, medicinal materials, ores and other outputs to the empire.

I used to know that the imperial court always ordered changes day and night, but now Wang Lanling is curious about how Emperor Yanwu gave those first pioneers a guarantee, what was guaranteed, and whether he had the face to face the descendants of those pioneers.

But it doesn't matter, Emperor Yanwu and those first pioneers are dead, and all problems are left over from history.

And now it seems that the situation is much more complicated, and the empire is no longer willing to treat those people as its own.

Strong restrictions on geographical mobility, strong restrictions on the spread of knowledge and culture, and the strongest regulation!

Those who have been sent out voluntarily and involuntarily for decades are not a small number, and if these people are recognized and let these people back, then these pioneers who cannot get reciprocal treatment will only be a factor of uneasiness.

At least for now, the attitude of the Empire is the same, and those pioneers have been treated as barbarians.

The barbarians can be easily disposed of, but the descendants of these pioneers are always thinking of coming back!

When they come back, the emperor will use his own money and property to reward these people, so they can't come back, which is the general trend.
