Chapter 227: Appointment

(Cat flutter Chinese) The newborn baby is going to get married?

Yuefu Tianding, not only the officials and squires of Pingyucheng came to celebrate, but also the officials and squires of the Caizhou prefect and Yazhong also came to congratulate, and the scenery in Caizhou was the same for a while.

Liu Jinhua, Mu Dutou and others were sent to Hangzhou by Lotte to inquire about the local situation, and then Lotte hired a boat to take Chang Sui Shakuqi, Tu Si, Zhang Biao and a few people to start walking by water, which happened to be down the water, which can be described as smooth sailing.

After Chuzhou, from the Huai River into the canal, after Chuzhou is the land of fireworks in the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Prefecture, the water flow is smooth and the boat is far less fast than in the Huai River, the boatman wants to eat this bowl of rice on the water for generations, see Lotte out of the cabin and said: "Although Yangzhou Mansion is the world's big mansion, the scenery is also very close to the south of the Yangtze River, but the township is far less imposing than the south of the Yangtze River." ”

The boatman was very talkative, and said: "The rivers and lakes in the west between the Jianghuai and Huai are dense, the water situation is complicated, and the disasters are frequent, and the east side is along the sea and there are many salt fields, so the rural agriculture is not as good as the south of the Yangtze River, and it seems that all industries are withered, only the landscape of Yangzhou City is good, which is also thanks to the salt merchants gathered here." ”

Ordinary officials who have just been released from office will definitely not know how many government affairs a county has, and may even think that there is not much to do. It would be a big mistake to think like this, the officialdom of the Song Dynasty has always had the practice that officials must have two prefects, and the magistrate was the most difficult grassroots official in the Northern Song Dynasty, so that many officials will feel numb when they hear that the magistrate will be numb.

Taking out a piece of paper, Lotte listed all the government affairs he could think of, and he hadn't paid attention to these in the county government in the past, but now he listed the affairs of these county offices, and Lotte was taken aback.

It is true that he is familiar with the affairs of the county government, but when he sits in the position of the main hall and affects the overall situation, Lotte begins to be a little confused. In addition, he also has a boss who looks down on him, although Lotte may not take Cai Jun seriously, but he must be careful in everything.

Yangzhou's products are not abundant, and at this time in the Song Dynasty, the famous ones were female dancers and salted fish. The officials paid attention to the female trick rather than the thin horse, and Yangzhou raised a thin horse after the Ming and Qing dynasties, so the so-called "waist wrapped around 100,000 yuan, riding a crane down Yangzhou" was just a trick to Yangzhou with enough money. To put it more clearly, Yangzhou City is a consumption-oriented city that relies on the profits of the world's salt industry, relying on salt merchants and some idle and wealthy people to support a large number of green buildings, tea houses, services and other industries in Yangzhou City.

I have to admit that after coming to the Northern Song Dynasty, among the metropolises that Lotte has seen, the most prosperous ones are Yangzhou, Suzhou, and Hangzhou in addition to Bianliang City. After the Tang Dynasty, the center of gravity of China's prosperous land shifted from the Central Plains to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Northern Song Dynasty was the prosperous sunset period of the Central Plains.

Both of these cities are large cities with more than a dozen gates, and Rakuten estimates that the population is also in the hundreds of thousands, and the population spreads from inside the city to outside the city.

Shakutani Xun's inn is quite neat, Lotte is not in a hurry to take office, Mu Zhutou and Liu Jinhua have arrived in Hangzhou first, and after exploring all the situations in Hangzhou City and Qiantang County, Lotte now decides when to take office.

The guy who led Lotte to walk in the store looked at Lotte's dress, with a maid and a foreigner's accent around him, thinking that Lotte was a person who came to meet friends from outside the scene, so he accosted him in official dialect: "Guest officer, it's not too late to get dark, if the guest officer wants to go out to have fun, but outside the martial arts door is a good place!" ”

"The tile shop outside the Wulin Gate is very famous, and the street market is as bright as day at night, and the excitement is not inferior to Bianliang in Tokyo, which is rare elsewhere in the south of the Yangtze River!" The guy spoke proudly.

The journey was really hard, and Lotte casually ate something and fell asleep. There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Lotte got up and sent Tu Si out to contact Mu Zhutou and others, Tu Si did not contact Mu Zhutou and others It will take some time, Lotte thought about it for a while, and decided to stay in Hangzhou City for a few days, while having fun while taking the opportunity to inquire about the situation in Hangzhou City.

The area of Qiantang County and Renhe County is staggered, and the mountains around the West Lake also belong to Qiantang and some belong to Renhe, and even the territory under the jurisdiction of the two counties within the city wall of Hangzhou is also staggered, and there are often changes, which is very complicated. There are even cases in places where the two counties intersect, and according to the ambiguity of the historical county boundaries, there are also cases where the money is not taken care of, and the benevolence and non-collection are also born.

Entering the city from Wulin Gate, Lotte took Shakuchi around the street and took a look at the customs of Hangzhou City, and then went out of the city from Qiantang Gate and came to the West Lake. In fact, when Lotte stepped near the Qiantang Gate, he had already entered the boundaries of his future jurisdiction.

"Little official, if you don't come to the West Lake by boat, how can you be regarded as coming to the West Lake, wouldn't it be a trip in vain!" Just when Lotte sighed in his heart, he only heard that someone behind him had a non-standard official saying.

The man was not afraid of life, and said: "The little one is the boatman who has been making a living by setting up boats on the West Lake for generations, and when he saw that the officials seemed to be from other places, he came to solicit some business. ”

Do a line of doorways, since this man has been ferrying on the West Lake for generations to make a living, he naturally has his own group of people, big boats, small boats, everything, the man asked Lotte to wait for a while, will not bring a canopy boat over, wait for the two of Lotte to get on the boat, swaying to the middle of the West Lake.

In the last life, I came to the West Lake, and Lotte had already heard the stories told by the tour guides, and now the boat man told it is far more standard than those tour guides.

Lotte turned his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a large painting boat following him on the left rear of the boat he was on, and a man who looked like a house slave was shouting at him.

Lotte wondered: "Who is on this ship?" ”

While the two were talking, the painting boat and the black canopy boat that Lotte was riding were sailing side by side, only to see the person dressed as a lifelong member of the painting boat poke his head out of the boat and scolded: "The thief kills the talent, I just thought of a wonderful sentence, so let you, the thief kill, interrupt your thoughts, and get away!" ”

Lotte glanced at it and sneered: "Joke, no ink on the chest is no ink on the chest, why use others as an excuse!" ”
