Chapter 390: History of the City

Falling Flower City East Mountain, in the study of the City Lord's Mansion.

Baozhu played with the city lord's order while boredly flipping through the thick "City History" in his hand.

This is a book similar to modern local chronicles, which records in detail the geography, history, and culture of Luohua Castle since its founding.

On the third day of taking office, she entered the City Lord's Mansion from the first day, and Steward Xu put this thick book of "City History" in front of her, which made her familiar with Luohua City earlier.

From the history of the city, she learned that she was already the fifty-second city lord of Luohua City after the establishment of the city for thousands of years.

Over the past thousand years, Luohua City has broken the hereditary system of the old city lord, adhering to the tenet of "appointing people on the basis of merit", and then considering his contribution to Luohua City by the previous city lord, and producing the next city property.

In fact, it only took her two days to read the "History of the City".

She found that most of the books were records of the praises of the previous city lords.

She also understands this, after all, the history of the city must be written by the official, so it is natural to describe the event from the official standpoint.

But it was precisely because of reading "History of the City" that she had two questions.

First, as the new city lord, she was nominated by Hua Wuxin, the previous city lord, yes, but she really couldn't remember what contribution she had made to Luohua City.

This made her both excited and apprehensive.

Excitedly, if she, the new city owner, was dismissed because she had not contributed to Luohua City, would it mean that she could return to Ruyi Xuan and continue to live happily with Lu Yunchu?

If she was dismissed within a few days of taking office because she had not contributed to Falling Flower City, would she become the shortest-serving city lord in the history of Falling Flower City?

But soon, Steward Xu made the excitement and apprehension in her heart disappear.

"Do you remember that last year, you treated two guards with the poison of the Zombie King in your body? This is your great contribution to the Falling Flower City! Your silent contribution to the Falling Flower City has spread all over the streets and alleys of the city at this time. The people have spread the word of mouth, and they all say that you are the city lord who has made the greatest contribution before taking office!"

According to Steward Xu's explanation, mining has become the largest economic pillar industry in Luohua City, and if she hadn't eliminated the zombie king at that time, it would have become a big problem for Luohua City to continue mining and mining.

Once it loses the support of mining, it is impossible for Luohua City to continue to prosper and prosper.

And the zombie king, although ordinary people have never seen it, but through the description of the two guards who were rescued by her with the "Spirit Tongue Pill", the zombie king is not an ordinary person......

After she took office, the first thing Steward Xu did was to spread her deeds back then, so that she, an "extraordinary" new city owner, won the real admiration and support of the people.

I have to say that Hua Wuxin's game of chess was really early......

I also have to say that Steward Xu is really a talent who has been cultivated by Hua Wuxin and is "all-encompassing......

The second question is that after she looked through the "History of the City", she found that there was no introduction to the first city lord in it.

She had asked Steward Xu, but Steward Xu was silent about this question, only looking at her with a face that she had never seen ups and downs, and looked at her very incomprehensibly.

Ay......

In the huge study, there were only two people at this time, she and Steward Xu who stood quietly.

Speaking of which, she is the lord of the city, and he is in charge, but every time she walks into the study, she feels that she has become a primary and secondary school student who is supervised by adults and wants to study seriously......

stood up and stretched lazily, but when he was halfway stretched, he met Steward Xu's unchanged serious gaze, and retracted his arm stupidly.

By the way, she suddenly remembered one more thing, and hurriedly sat down and flipped through the thick "History of the City".

I rummaged through the "History of the City" from beginning to end, but I couldn't find the information she was looking for. Finally, she raised her head and asked Steward Xu:

"Steward Xu, have you ever heard of a thousand years ago, at the foot of the North Mountain, one hundred and thirty-eight people in Linjiazhuang were buried alive in a cave?

She remembered that Lin Huofeng mentioned to her that Liniang's father was the old city lord of the year, and it was this crazy old city lord who buried the innocent people of Linjiazhuang alive in the cave of Beishan for the sake of the magic crystal.

Is such a person also worthy of being the lord of the city? and worthy of leaving his name in the "History of the City"?

Don't let her know which lord he is! Otherwise, she'll have to remove his name from the History of the City!

Steward Xu replied: "The lower official does know something about this history, and the city lord's surname is Min, and his person and affairs are not recorded in the city history. ”

She was a little unhappy when she heard this, and her tone was a little colder:

This so-called "History of the City" is just to praise the merits and virtues of the officials? We only remember great achievements and do not remember ugly and bad deeds? How can we convince the common people if this kind of false and incomplete record is handed down?

Steward Xu's face remained unmoved for thousands of years, but he bowed his hand to her:

"What your lord said is very true! Please wait!"

After saying that, he turned around and left the study.

“......”

The question hasn't been clarified yet, what kind of business is evasion?

Thinking of what happened to Lin Huofeng, she was full of resentment at this time, but she also had a kind of depression that had nowhere to vent her anger.

With a sigh, he looked at the city lord order who had been playing with it in his hand.

The gold medal, which was about the size of her palm, felt very easy to hold in her hand, as if this city lord's order was made according to her palm.

On the front, the city lord orders three big characters, and on the back there is a miniature version of the colorful city scenery of Luoying. The painting is good, and the workmanship is exquisite.

It's just that it is obviously very old, and it has gone through the hands of dozens of city lords, and the handwriting pattern on the city lord's order has been somewhat blurred.

Holding up the sign, she vaguely saw that under the cityscape on the back of the sign, there seemed to be a "sky" engraved with the word.

Just squinting and carefully identifying it, Steward Xu had already walked in with a book in his hand.

She put down the sign in her hand and looked at the book that Steward Xu had placed in front of her, but it didn't have a title.

Looking at Steward Xu suspiciously, Steward Xu said, "All the doubts of adults can be found in this book. ”

Then he pointed to the city lord in her hand and said: "Luohua City has existed since ancient times, and if you trace its historical origin, there are countless successive city lords.

However, the Falling Flower City recorded in the existing city history was re-established by the first city lord who was recognized by the people thousands of years ago and broke the original rules and order.

The first city lord of Xincheng built the city lord's order, established the Dongshan city lord's mansion, and finally sacrificed himself for the benefit of the people......

The lord surnamed Min mentioned by the lord was the last lord of the old system who was overthrown by the first lord of the city after the establishment of the new city, so there is no record in the current city history. ”

"Then why don't you record the deeds of the first city lord in the city history?" she was surprised.
