"Xiu Chu (I don't know the word, for the time being, I want to be the name), don't want to be these children, Nanjing is not far from Shanghai, and we will have more opportunities to meet in the future. What do you think? When you first arrived, you still suffered a lot, right? Luo Jian saw that Wang Xiuchu was a little emotional, and said with a smile.

"Alas, the Governor, it's not, but I'm glad I got through it, and it's much better now." Wang Xiuchu said with a smile.

"Today, we took a look at it, and it feels very good, and tomorrow you tell us the details of the situation, Brother Taichong, when Xiuchu finishes speaking, I'm afraid it will be hard for you." Luo Jian turned his head and said to Huang Zongxi.

Huang Zongxi understood what Luo Jian meant, Luo Jian hoped that he could make some summaries of Shanghai's experience, and nodded at the moment.

There was a knock on the door, and knowing that the food was coming, everyone stopped talking.

After the guy finished serving, Suozhu asked, "Secretary Wang, Shanghai County is so big, is it as big as Yangzhou?" He is still used to calling Wang Xiuchu his secretary.

"Lock pillar, no, after all, it's only been two years, give me another year, it will definitely be bigger than Yangzhou." Wang Xiuchu said confidently.

Luo Jian, who was in a good mood, still drank a few glasses of wine, but Luo Jian's amount of wine was too bad, and he was dizzy as soon as he drank a few glasses of wine, so he had to help Luo Jian to the inn and sleep.

When Wang Xiuchu went downstairs to settle the bill, he knew that the lock pillar had already paid the money, Wang Xiuchu was a little anxious, and said that he would let him have a treat, but it turned out that the governor of the capital paid for it.

"Secretary Wang, are you rich or your wife rich?" Suozhu said with a smile, "This is what the Metropolitan Governor asked. The lock pillar leaned on Wang Xiuchu's ear and said softly.

Luo Jian's alcohol consumption was not good, he was so drunk that he woke up quickly, and when he got up the next morning, he was already like no one. I saw that Huang Zongxi was still asleep. Nor call him. I went downstairs with the lock pillar, and when I got to the street, I started to wander around.

The inn where Luo Jian lives is in the new district, with wide streets and brand-new cement houses, makes Luo Jian feel a little back to the 80s.

In the morning, Luo Jian and Huang Zongxi went to the Shanghai County Government, and in Wang Xiuchu's office, Wang Xiuchu gave Luo Jian a detailed report on the development of Shanghai in the past two years.

Luo Jian could see that Wang Xiuchu did not prepare in advance, but his report made Luo Jian very satisfied. Not only are the numbers detailed, but the big and small things are counted.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Luo Jian thought that almost every official in his time and space was reading the manuscript written by the secretary, and he didn't know how they felt when they saw Wang Xiuchu's report like today.

"Metropolitan Governor, the basic situation is like this, please give instructions to the Metropolitan Governor." Wang Xiuchu finally finished the report, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said to Luo Jian.

"You guys are doing a great job, I don't have anything to say. Just a little suggestion for you, do you want to build some public toilets on the street? And can you set aside a few pieces of land to build a few parks? Let everyone have a place to exercise in the morning. Luo Jian said with a smile.

Shanghai's current development situation is good, Wang Xiuchu has implemented the development plan formulated at the beginning very well, there is no need to adjust it at present, Luo Jian does not want to make any "instructions", it is not good to deviate Wang Xiuchu's thinking.

Huang Zongxi looked at Luo Jian a little strangely, he was ready to make a long speech about Luo Jian, and he was ready to publish it in the newspaper if he recorded it, but now he felt a little surprised to see that Luo Jian almost didn't say anything.

Wang Xiuchu seemed to know Luo Jian's temperament very well, but he didn't ask anything more.

"Xiuchu, at noon, we will go to Hangzhou to eat casually on the street, you can follow your ideas, and if you have difficulties, go to us." Luo Jian explained to Wang Xiuchu.

"Governor, are you leaving? I'm still thinking about staying here for a few more days, and I have a lot of questions for the Governor. Wang Xiuchu knew Luo Jian's character, and knew that once he was decided, he would generally not change, but he said with some regret.

"Shopkeeper, if only our cities were like Shanghai." The carriage had already left the county seat of Shanghai, and Huang Zongxi was still looking out of the window of the car, and said to Luo Jian with a sigh.

"That's impossible, I won't be able to do it in a few hundred years. The geographical environment and location of each city are different, and only based on their own strengths can they develop, if they blindly copy the model of Shanghai, it will definitely not work. Listening to Huang Zongxi's words, Luo Jian shook his head and said.

Moganshan Town is an ordinary town in Deqing County, the capital of Huzhou, but this town is not small, and its fame comes from Moganshan.

Legend has it that at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the cadres of the Wu Wanglu faction, Mo Ye cast the unparalleled male and female swords in the world here, and the Mogan Mountain named after it is not as majestic as Taidai and the steep of Huashan, but it is famous in the south of the Yangtze River with the green shade of the sea like the bamboo, the clear and inexhaustible mountain spring, and the charming scenery of the four seasons, and enjoys the reputation of "the first mountain in the south of the Yangtze River".

The calm town located at the foot of Mogan Mountain has been very unquiet for a period of time recently, and the reason for the unrest is very simple, because there is a group of bandits on Mogan Mountain, I heard that the number of bandits is not much, only two or three hundred, this group of bandits often goes down the mountain to arrest people in recent times, I heard that the young Zhuang near Mogan Mountain has been taken away a lot, and now the Mogan Mountain area is already panicked.

It was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and the town of Moganshan was already closed, and there was only one street in the town where there was no pedestrian in sight.

A sudden sound of horses' hooves broke the deathly silence of Moganshan Town, "The bandits are here again!" "The townspeople began to pray that the bandits would not smash their homes.

But after a long time there was no crying, and some brave people began to look out through the cracks in their doors, and there were not many horses in the streets, and they only looked like they were riding five or six.

"It doesn't look like a bandit is coming." There was a whispering sound in the house, and there were at least dozens of bandits descending the mountain, and although a few of these five or six people looked fierce, they were not like bandits.

"Shopkeeper, there's something wrong with this town, Zhang Long, you guys should be careful." The lock pillar reined in the horse and turned his head to Zhang Long, who was following behind.

These five or six horses are Luo Jian's party who came to this point in the "micro-service private interview".

After leaving Shanghai County, Luo Jian and Huang Zongxi and their entourage left the official road and began to investigate in the countryside.

Although Jiangsu and Zhejiang are known as the "land of fish and rice". Since the end of Chongzhen, it has basically not been ravaged by major wars. In recent years, there has been a low tax policy of the Nanjing government. It is said that the life of the people should be good, but what Luo Jian and Huang Zongxi saw was not what they imagined, the lives of many people in these places were much worse than those in Yangzhou Prefecture, and even the people in Shandong were inferior.

Yangzhou and Shandong were recovered from the hands of the Manchus, and these places were plundered by the Qing soldiers and peasant armies, and many landlords and gentry were swept away by the Qing soldiers and peasant armies, and after the Wehrmacht recovered these places, a large amount of land was also confiscated by the state, and these lands were distributed to the landless peasants. Farmers with land can always get by with the support of policies.

However, this is not the case in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the phenomenon of land annexation that Luo Jian was worried about in the past is still serious in these areas, and a large number of peasants still rely on renting land for a living, although the taxes stipulated by the Nanjing government are much lower than those in the Southern Ming Dynasty, but the vast majority of landlords still collect land rent according to the previous standards, in other words, although the taxes of the Nanjing government are much lower than those of the Southern Ming Dynasty, but the peasants at the bottom have not received any benefits, and those landlords and gentry who really get the benefits.

The situation he learned from the countryside made Luo Jian's mood a little bad. There was also a lot less talk along the way. Luo Jian knew a few things about these situations before, but he didn't expect them to be so serious.

Luo Jian had the heart to go back to Nanjing immediately and wanted to discuss with Shi Kefa and others how to solve these problems. But thinking that there were more than 100,000 acres of fields near Hangzhou, when Zhu Changshu left, and these fields were later exchanged for a warship by Zhu Changshu and the Nanjing government, he still wanted to see what the situation of these fields was, and he came all the way to Moganshan Town in Deqing County.

"Lock the bollard, see if you can find a shop and ask?" Luo Jian beckoned to the lock pillar, he also saw that there was something wrong with this town, but what happened, he had to find someone to ask.

As soon as he approached, he heard someone in the store whispering, but he couldn't hear what he said.

"Shopkeeper, we are passing merchants, we want to stay in the store, open the door quickly!" The lock pillar stepped forward and called the doorway.

"Guest officer, our store is not open, you can go to the county to live." There was a sound in the store, but the door didn't open.

"Brother Taichong, you go and call the door, the lock post may make them a little scared." Luo Jian greeted Huang Zongxi.

Huang Zongxi turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the door of the store, "Lock the pillar, let me come." ”

It may be that Huang Zongxi's weak scholarly appearance made the store a lot less vigilant, and the door of the store was finally opened.

"Shopkeeper, the six of us are merchants from Jiaxing, what happened to your place? At this time, why did everyone close their doors? Luo Jian and Huang Zongxi walked into the store and asked the shopkeeper who was still a little panicked.

"Are you really merchants?" The man asked hesitantly as he looked at the lock post and several guards outside the door, and asked with some disbelief.

"What are we lying to you for? They're just a few family members, what are you worried about? Huang Zongxi said with a smile.

The guy looked at the lock post and a few guards carefully, probably didn't see the guy from them, so he was a little relieved, beckoned Luo Jian and Huang Zongxi to the lobby and sat down, and another guy came up with a teapot to make tea for the two.

"I said that you are really bold enough, and now you dare to come to Moganshan, are you not afraid of bandits?" Seeing that Luo Jian's faces were very calm, the guy also saw that these people could not be bandits at all, so he said while making tea.

"Bandits? There are bandits on Mogan Mountain? Luo Jian asked in surprise.

"This guest officer, originally there were no bandits in our Moganshan, and a gang only came here last month, I heard that they came from southern Anhui, and this gang of people who killed a thousand knives came to rob them, and they also wanted to arrest Qingzhuang, but we were miserable." The guy said.

"There are bandits in Moganshan, don't you Hangzhou Mansion care?" Luo Jian asked strangely, there is still a garrison division in Hangzhou, and the garrison division can't fight, can't even suppress bandits?

"The Hangzhou government is not ignorant, some time ago it also sent the official army into the mountains to suppress the bandits, but the officers and soldiers ran around the mountains and then collected the troops and went back, and when the officers and soldiers went back, these bandits came out again. I heard that there are not many bandits, only two or three hundred people, such a big Mogan Mountain, if you go to the mountains and hide separately, where can you find people? The guy said.

"Ran a lap and went back?" When Luo Jian heard this, he asked the guy.

"It's not like that, these bandits came to our town the day before yesterday, and the eldest son of the Li family in the east of the town was arrested by them, and I didn't hear about the ransom, I don't know what they were arresting people for." The guy said with trepidation.

As soon as he heard of the bandits, he ran out of the door and whispered a few words to one of the guards, who mounted their horses and galloped out of town. (To be continued.) )
