On the second day of April, the weather was fine.

Wang Lanling got up in a daze, sat on the small chair in a daze and lowered his head, let it be unknown whether it was Lei A or Gentle or Anu Jinji ornaments, washed his face and hair, and smeared with windproof creams and oils.

Gargle, eat, brush your teeth, and then be sent to the yamen.

It was still seven o'clock outside, and business was already going on both sides of the street, and some people were tearing down the door panels and placing the contents of the shops at the door.

In general, it was still very depressed, and the sun was already shining on the shops on the side, and there were people carrying small benches and high stools and sitting at the door to eat.

It's already early enough to start school, and classes start at six o'clock, and students basically arrive at school at half past five to avoid the heat.

In winter, it will be later, and people will run with the four seasons.

The road is very clean, Wang Lanling has to walk basically the official road every day, here is paved with bluestone floor, more high-end than the cement road, the gaps between the bricks are also tight and dense, and it is very convenient to clean.

Compared to clean roads, pedestrians on and on both sides of the street are like refugees.

Masons, boatmen, coolies, etc., who had nothing to do or were begging for work, sat on the steps under the eaves and waited, waiting for someone to ask them to work.

These people are very idle, how comfortable they are when they sit on the ground, they look a little lifeless, and they have not eaten enough.

Most of the people in the countryside are self-sufficient, and the people in the towns are basically looking for relatives, and only in a big place like Heishui County can they receive work, a few more people can work, and they can also get the strength to eat.

There is a construction department in the city, but ordinary people have leaky roofs or broken windows, and they can't repair them, so they will come to find some specialized laborers.

The craftsmen have their own work to do, and after work, they will also take some work, and the people in the city still believe in the reputation and strength of these people.

Of course, there are also those who ask too hard and give these idle laborers some jobs.

Some of the people pulling the carts are also waiting for work here, and they lie on the carts to fall asleep and catch up on the sun's rays, because if you come late, the good places will be occupied.

Moving, pulling goods, as long as it is a job that uses a car, as long as it is to give some money, they will take it.

There are also stalls selling snacks nearby, but there are not many customers, everyone brings their own dry food, and they don't spend money if they can.

Everyone has food, so why give others the effort to earn their own money?

Convenient? Whose mother-in-law can't get up early to make a few cakes and steam a few buns?

When you are hungry, you eat some buns, when you are thirsty, you go to the nearby river to get some water to drink, and you go out to work, and you generally don't pay attention to it so much.

This is the social environment that Wang Lanling has to face, he sincerely hopes that he can get rich here, and get rich with him, but there are too many things to do, and it is too difficult.

Compared with these people who get up early and try their luck at night, the work of those people in the big dung division can be imagined how precious it is.

Wang Lanling needs to improve the living standards of these people, but when he thinks about it, there are too many empty words.

In fact, the productive forces of this world are not backward, and the productive capacity that can feed so many people is actually saturated to the point of waste.

For example, some large production states use centralized management, with advanced spreading equipment and pesticides and fertilizers.

There are also chemical fertilizers here in Heishui County, and many people in Wangjiabao work in fertilizer factories, but the output of these fertilizers has not been adjusted.

You only need to get the grain to the passing line, and you don't need to do too much for the rest, otherwise the backlog or the price of grain will cause serious problems.

The imperial court was not short of food, or even too much of it.

This is Wang Lanling's intuitive cognition, and all aspects have been affirmed.

The only thing that is considered in the distribution of grain is the cost of transportation, and the grain itself is not a problem at all in this empire.

As long as you don't hoard food, or buy and sell food, such as disaster relief, it doesn't matter how much food you want.

Every peasant has to pay taxes, and the form of taxes is the grain in the land, which is basically the formality.

The empire's military rations are all under its own management, so the grain collection in many places is mainly to reflect and maintain the master-slave relationship between the empire and those people.

Therefore, there is soil here in Heishui County to abandon agriculture and develop industry and low- and middle-grade goods.

There are a large number of sericulture fields, sugarcane beets and other sugar-producing cash crops, as well as soybeans, watermelons, corn and sweet potatoes.

The geographical advantage is very strong!

Behind him to the south is the official road connecting Shanzhou, from which a large amount of metal ore can be obtained.

It is under the jurisdiction of Yunzhou, and it can obtain various transportation resources provided by the county town by virtue of the Heishui River.

Bordering the pastoral state to the east, leather, meat, herbs, livestock, these can all be purchased.

But it is precisely because the geographical advantage is too strong that Wang Lanling feels that he will be fatal if he tosses it, and the people above will not let him fool around in this kind of place.

As long as Heishui County is safe and stable, in this era, no one forced Wang Lanling to develop his hometown, and no one asked these officials to lead everyone to get rich together.

The definition of a good official is different, whether it is a superior or a subordinate, there is only one requirement for Wang Lanling, to do a good job.

Wang Lanling didn't know how the officials in ancient times were promoted, but there is basically no difference here in Heishui County, because if you are a small official at the beginning, then you will be a small official for the rest of your life.

The performance of promotion is not economic improvement or resident happiness, but the transition of stability, no matter how well you do, when the term of office ends, it will be someone else's political achievement.

On the side of the empire, the external promotion is mainly based on the military industry, and the internal promotion is more complicated, generally to see who can be valued, Wang Lanling is valued by the emperor, so he was promoted, and it has nothing to do with his political achievements.

The emperor thinks that he can do it, so even if Wang Lanling writes bullshit articles, he can be promoted.

In general, if you want to be promoted, you have to be meritorious.

If you don't want to be demoted from above, then don't make mistakes.

The county order has been working hard to redeem the merits for a while.

Although Wang Lanling has not saved enough money for retirement, the longer he has been in this world, the more he wants to do something.

Wang Lanling has thought a lot about the affairs of Heishui County, although he is a modern person, he is basically not much different from the people of this world, and the so-called advanced vision and system are not suitable here.

Most of the people are very satisfied with this empire, if Wang Lanling introduces modern systems and ideas here, Wang Lanling himself will be the first to die.

That's a greater culpability than corruption!

Wang Lanling arrived at the Water Affairs Division, after all, he was the director here, but if he came, those old boys were afraid that they would skip work together with him.

"Fufeng, a song for me~" [Liu Fufeng, write a document for me]

Wang Lanling didn't want to write on his own, he understood the importance of keeping a low profile from the experience of Lu Leia's family, as well as the potential hints of people like Zhao Wenrou around him.

Although Lu Leia didn't say it explicitly, Wang Lanling also realized that his first love (the first woman) had always hoped that he would not speak Mandarin!

If you want to speak a local dialect, it's better to have a local dialect that only people can't understand!

She is also learning the local dialect here, working hard to build a small circle of language self-enclosed, and not communicate normally with people outside Heishui County.

Wang Lanling deeply understands that he can no longer attract the attention of his superiors, otherwise he will definitely not be able to retire happily!

In the future, I won't play with the state pastor and the emperor, let's honestly play with the county order and the county guard, and shine for a lifetime in the post of the Environmental Sanitation Department.
