The people from Whale Island came over in the morning, and it wasn't too ceremonious, just two people dressed as servants came.

Zhou Tiangu was shocked when he saw Wang Lanling!!

Good guy, why is this guy dressed so pompously?

I heard that it is a person from Shanzhou, isn't Shanzhou a poor place?

It was the first time for the teenage Zhou Tiangu to see someone dressed so well, and compared with his own master, he had an indescribable feeling of being rich.

"The younger one is Zhou Tiangu, my lord agreed to let you go to the island."

Zhou Tiangu looked at Wang Lanling, and always felt that something was wrong with this kid, such a small person, is it a county order?

Wang Lanling also looked at Zhou Tiangu in shabby clothes suspiciously, this is not a thief pretending, right?

Why are you so poor and sour?

However, after looking at the attitude of the people here in Yan Village, Wang Lanling was even more puzzled, the subordinates on the county guard side were so poor, how did the Jiang family live there?

"Let's go over then, I don't know much about things on the island, what's going on the island now?"

When Zhou Tiangu heard this, he said impatiently: "What's the situation? My lord is the biggest on the island, and my lord will let you go now. ”

Wang Lanling had no choice but to take someone to follow this arrogant servant on the boat.

The ship is a big ship, and it is the sailors and thugs on the ship who give Wang Lanling the feeling of a mountain bandit, just like a villager in Heishui County.

The clothes of these people are really not much higher than those of Yan Village.

It's roughly the level of people on the street in Heishui County, and it's the kind of ordinary old man who wears it, except for the lack of patches, the rest of the crotch is very stretched, and there is not even a slightly fancy color.

It's already a shame for the subordinates of the county guard to wear this.

If this is seen by the people of Tongzhou, I am afraid that they will laugh at this Jiang family.

As long as the Jiang family has no power or money, it will not be good.

It is said that it depends on the owner to beat a dog, and those Jiang family members who have no power and power can easily find out that the rich people around them are inextricably linked with other Jiang family members, which is equivalent to being surrounded by a group of vicious dogs.

Like Wang Lanling, there are dog officials like Wang Lanling, the empire doesn't know how many, they just use the benefits of the Jiang family to oppose the Jiang family, and the big fish eat the small fish.

The word equality cannot be applied not only between people, but also between the Jiang family and the Jiang family.

They are all surnamed Jiang, some people are blessed in Longzhou, and some people can only look up at the starry sky in the horns.

Wang Lanling didn't know what was going on with the Jiang family, according to reason, in a place like this where the emperor was far away, the magistrate was not qualified to confront the Jiang family.

That Jiang family is the only one person here, he has guns and people under him, and the territory is so big that there is no boundary, how can he live so poorly?

After more than two hours of driving in the direction of the sea on a steamer, Wang Lanling finally arrived at Giant Whale Island.

Whale Island is a large island, and like most of Sanhae-gun, it is much higher than sea level.

Therefore, there is no beach where you can land on Whale Island, and high walls have been built around the island, and if you want to land, you can only enter through a gate.

It was easy to defend and difficult to attack, there was no place to log in after the army came, and artillery could be erected on the walls at any time to defend against counterattacks.

The ship passed through the four-meter-long pitch-black bridge hole, and Wang Lanling looked at the island city inside the huge wall, and the sea water extending from the sea did not extend too far, but only formed a wide port here.

The walls of Whale Island are not square, but are designed to easily defend against sea winds and waves, and there are also multiple drainage facilities built inside.

Zhou Tiangu took Wang Lanling off the boat, and along the way, Wang Lanling saw many boatmen loading and unloading fishing boats, and also saw soldiers who were sifting nets and chatting.

These people are also more curious about Wang Lanling.

Although Hu Zhong and the others were also dressed cleanly, compared with Wang Lanling who was wearing a windbreaker, it was not a little worse.

Tongzhou people pay attention to demeanor.

If you want to say that the officials in all parts of the country look most like officials in terms of dress, then it is definitely Tongzhou.

Wang Lanling saw a lot of soldiers, and these people all looked like they were sluggish, like moldy sweet potatoes that hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time, and there were common chilblains on their mouths and faces, and their faces were blushing because of bruising.

The weather is indeed much colder, especially for people who deal with sea water at the beach, it is indeed easy to have problems.

Wang Lanling felt that the protection and logistics here could not keep up, and compared with the county government of Yunshui County, it was really too bad.

Passing through the main road in the city, Wang Lanling came to the front of the mansion with the words "County Guard's Mansion".

There are too many Jiang families across the country, so the Jiang family basically does not use the Jiang Mansion as a plaque, and they are generally official positions and titles.

The fairy water palace on the mushroom mountain is more atmospheric and magnificent than here, and it is a Western-style megalithic castle building.

Because it is halfway up the mountain, it was built in the form of a castle and a manor, and this house was built into an ordinary building because of the flat land around it and the preference of the original principal.

Not everyone likes to live on high ground, and the castle manor is not for most people.

After waiting in the living room, a man in a green shirt and a woman in silk clothes came out.

The man was in his forties, like a middle-aged scribe, and his name was Jiang Zizheng.

"Twelve years!!" After Jiang Zizheng saw Wang Lanling for the first time, he burst into tears with excitement, and slammed one hand to his thigh, "It's been twelve years!" Finally someone came to replace me!! ”

Wang Lanling saw that this person had misunderstood, and quickly said: "Lord County Shou has misunderstood, I am the county commander of Shanhai County, and this is my appointment document. ”

Wang Lanling took out his letter of appointment and handed it to Jiang Zizheng.

Jiang Zizheng was stunned, and after taking Wang Lanling's appointment letter in a stunned manner and opening it to take a look, he was full of disappointment.

"Tongzhou Official School...... The people who came out of that place were not county commanders in Longzhou Tongzhou, but what county magistrates were in Muzhou? ”

Jiang Zizheng was very disappointed, he had been here long enough, and he had written to the state capital and the Zongren Mansion hundreds of times, but the people over there just ignored him.

Generally, the term of office of the county commander is five years, but this rule is invalid for the Jiang family.

This is a good policy in Longzhou, Tongzhou, Yunzhou and other places, and it is also a good policy in Muzhou, but it is not so good for different people.

In other words, if the imperial court does not remove Jiang Zizheng's official position, Jiang Zizheng will stay here for the rest of his life.

This is a blood mold!

Wang Lanling explained: "There is a vacancy here in Muzhou, so I took the initiative to come over, and it has nothing to do with the teachers. Although it is better in Tongzhou Longzhou, those places are actually not so good, and there are more things to do here in Muzhou. ”

Jiang Zizheng didn't understand this idea at all, he sighed, "You will definitely regret it, you don't know, I have been thinking about the imperial court every day for all these years, and let me go back to Yanzhou, alas! ”

Jiang Zizheng was very uncomfortable, and he was overjoyed, did he want to stay in this position until he died?

Wang Lanling really doesn't understand why Jiang Zizheng is living so miserably, doesn't this person know his development territory?

There are people here, there is land, he is the head of a county, it is true that the imperial court restricts the pioneers, but it will not restrict these Jiang family members, they develop their own science and technology and improve their living standards, is it so difficult?

It's that hard!

Throughout the ages, how many of those who have been assigned to the frontier, or those who have guarded the Quartet, have been able to develop?

It's not that there is a lack of conditions, it's that there is no such idea at all.

For example, Wang Lanling, who took the initiative to go to the frontier to develop, is the most rare of the strange.

Although Wang Lanling didn't understand why Jiang Zizheng was so lazy, he understood why the other party was living so hard.

I always write letters to the county government and the Zongren Mansion to ask to go back, and people are too lazy to pay attention to this side, no matter what happens here, it is perfunctory.

Over time, I forgot about this place, and many of the benefits were forgotten about this side.

Whale Island is located in the middle of nowhere, and it has been self-sufficient for a long time, and it has slowly become accustomed to this kind of hard life.

It's just ...... I can't say that.

Wang Lanling said: "My lord, this time I came to visit the adults at the beginning of my tenure, and secondly, there were some problems in Shanhai County, and there were a lot of messes left after the Shanhai County Commander left, and now the horse thieves and Xiaoxiao in all directions are harassing the people under my rule, so I want to ask the adults to allow me to build a city wall and establish a militia team to resist Xiaoxiao." ”

After Jiang Zizheng heard this, he stepped back to his seat and sat down, "This matter, the city wall in Shanhai County was not blown up by me, it was blown up by my predecessor, when I took office, someone also asked about this matter, and my answer was no." ”

Wang Lanling said solemnly: "It is not allowed, but ordinary people do not understand the reason why it is not allowed to build a wall, I have studied in the official school for many years, and I know the reason, and now I am in charge of Shanhai County, and those things around me are naturally small things, and the construction of the city wall does not affect the overall situation." ”

Jiang Zizheng is facing this good student who graduated from Tongzhou official school, and he still gives some face.

It's just that there are some things he doesn't want to trouble, and now he is waiting to retire and return to his hometown, and he really doesn't care about the affairs of the county, and he doesn't want to trouble.

"Forget it, it's still so good, Shanhai County has been like that for decades, isn't it impossible to live? You can also be a five-year county magistrate with peace of mind, maybe you will come and replace me in the future. ”

Jiang Zizheng remembered good things and felt that he had another hope.

You can't die in this place, right?

I've been fishing for more than ten years, and now I want to vomit when I go out and smell the sea breeze.

Heaven, earth, ancestors! When are you going to call me back?

Wang Lanling felt the smell of decay from Jiang Zizheng's body, the feeling that he was about to die.

This man must have the ability, but he was abolished after he was assigned here.

Seeing that this man refused to take care of things, Wang Lanling stepped forward.

Jiang Zizheng soon saw Wang Lanling take off the handsome windbreaker on his body, and under his puzzled gaze, the young man draped the warm windbreaker over his shoulders.

After his body warmed up, the young man gently untied the glass watch in his hand and placed it on the table beside him.

"My lord, please make it convenient, if you can allow me to build a city wall and defend Xiaoxiao, and allow me to mine the abandoned iron ore in Shanhai County, then this Phoenix brand watch and the most popular wind coat in Longzhou on your body will ......."

Wang Lanling looked at Jiang Zizheng sitting on the chair, and the threatening meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Jiang Zizheng's eyes looked at Wang Lanling, and he quickly lowered his head to look at the table, which was also the clear watch on his arm, looking at the precise moment in it.

His fingers wanted to move, like a boy who had never touched a girl before, trying to touch a girl's buttocks.

After a slight hesitation, the man in his forties restrained himself.

He clenched his fists and said indifferently to Wang Lanling: "Not enough! At least one more pair of leather shoes! ”

He also has leather shoes, but he always feels that the leather shoes worn by Wang Lanling are better.

Wang Lanling stared at this person, gritted his teeth and said, "Deal!" You make a note first! ”

"Good! Don't go back! Lord County Keeper quickly agreed, even fearing that Lord Wang would regret it.

He has no room for smuggling and doing business here, the biggest smuggler in Muzhou is the army, but a fool will play smuggling with the Jiang family, or the Jiang family in a remote place like Shanhai County.

Jiang Zizheng is not even as good as the early Xiao Wang, he has no channel to realize his power at all.

The people of the military did not take Jiang Zizheng to play together, and Jiang Zizheng was not treated by the Jiang family, plus the previous county guards were smart enough to move from Shanhai County to an island where transportation was more difficult, where would any businessman take this road!

Originally, there were many rich people who migrated from Giant Whale Island, but with the closure of the island and the closure of various channels, they gradually returned to the poor period.

It is much more difficult to let everyone live a hard life together than to get rich together, because the most important thing in this world is people who strive for a better life.

So I don't know how these Jiang family members did it, and they made a peaceful evolution, bringing more than 100,000 people back to before liberation.

After using a piece of clothing, a watch, a pair of leather shoes, and a belt (which was later added), he was replaced with a piece of paper with the double seals of the county guard and the governor!

The construction of city walls is permitted

The formation of a city defense corps was allowed

Iron ore and copper ore in Shanhai County are allowed to be mined (one triceratops leather belt is replaced by one copper ore)

It is allowed to trade with the surrounding counties (because it is a matter allowed by the law, after being talked about by Wang Lanling, it was added to it)

Lord Wang's three-year official school was not in vain! It learned not only how to fight, but also how to cooperate with the rest of the officials.

For Jiang Zizheng, this transaction is a sure profit, he doesn't need to pay anything, and he gets a luxury that he can't buy with a three-year salary.

After a long absence, I felt the joy of being an official again.

The realization of rights is such a joy.
