"This place doesn't seem to be as prosperous as Xijiang County." Li Shaoyu looked at the vast field from outside the car. At this time, it is the spring planting season, and the farmers are busy cultivating the fields.

Tu Shaojin said, "Although this place is adjacent to Xijiang County, it is much more backward than Xijiang County in terms of transportation. Moreover, 80% of its land is mountainous, and only a few places can be cultivated. ”

Tu Xinya said, "Therefore, this Mangshan County lacks the necessary geographical and topographical conditions for economic prosperity. ”

Li Shaoyu smiled, "Isn't the geographical condition that there are many mountains and few flat terrains?" The local people don't know how to work around, they just grow some food for self-sufficiency, but there is no way to get rich according to local conditions. ”

Tu Shaojin said, "Could it be that the seventh brother has no way to let the local people get rid of poverty and become rich?" ”

Li Shaoyu said, "There are some ideas, but if you leave it to the people below to do it, it may not be successful." So, don't talk about it. ”

Tu Xinya guessed, "Shaoyu, do you need some scientific research to assist?" ”

Li Shaoyu nodded, "It is completely possible to develop economic agriculture here, but it needs to be explored through some experiments." Without the assistance of scientific research, nothing can be done, because laymen cannot see the prospect of development, and will not implement the strategy to the end, but will cause a situation of labor and money. ”

Tu Xinya sighed, "That's right. ”

Li Shaoyu said curiously, "This Mangshan County, which has no oil and water, can't it also be controlled by the family?" ”

Tu Shaojin said, "No, the family is interested in places that are quite wealthy and have very developed and convenient transportation." However, in this Mangshan County, there are very few county orders who can make political achievements here, and they all stay until the end of their term of office and change to another place. ”

Tu Shaojin saw that Li Shaoyu looked like he was listening carefully and understanding, and instructed Yan Xiao, who was sitting in the co-pilot in front of him, "Captain Yan, you come to introduce the specific situation of the Mangshan County Ya to the Seventh Prince. ”

Yan Xiao immediately turned his head and said yes, and then smiled at Li Shaoyu, "Your Highness, Mangshan County Ya is located in the center of Mangshan County, and because it is surrounded by mountains, the shape of the entire county is distributed like a starfish. ”

Li Shaoyu said helplessly, "Even the urban area is limited by the terrain? ”

Yan Xiao said, "Exactly." Therefore, every year, the imperial court will have a financial subsidy of about 20 million, which will be distributed in Mangshan County, but it still cannot develop. ”

Li Shaoyu looked inexplicable, "So, the annual financial subsidies have been lost?" ”

Tu Shaojin said, "Seventh brother, it is estimated that the development is illegal. Last year, I personally checked the accounts of Mangshan County. Most of the financial subsidies are used to repair roads and fight drought. ”

Li Shaoyu was puzzled, "There are mountains everywhere here, how can there be no water?" ”

Tu Shaojin said, "It's all mountain spring water, and it still depends on the year when there is no drought." However, it is only enough for people and animals to drink, not enough for farmland irrigation. Therefore, most of the people in Mangshan County take corn as their staple food. ”

Tu Xinya frowned, "As a citizen of the vulture country, how can you live so down?" Shaoyu, why don't you help Mangshan County? ”

Li Shaoyu said helplessly, "I'm just a person, do I know a little bit about research?" How can it help? If the name is not right, let's take another look. ”

Yan Xiao said, "Speaking of which, the county magistrate of Mangshan County is called Dongfang Hui, and he also graduated from the Royal Academy, and it seems that he is still a classmate of His Royal Highness. ”

Li Shaoyu muttered, "Dongfang Hui? Well, remember, it was true that I had been in the same class with the Royal Academy for six years. ”

Tu Xinya said, "Shaoyu, are you getting along with him?" ”

Li Shaoyu said embarrassedly, "When I went to the Royal Academy, I was almost part-time working and studying, and I didn't have time to socialize with my classmates. However, this Dongfang Hui is a good person, but he is a little pedantic. ”

Tu Shaojin said, "That's right, this Dongfang Hui just doesn't know how to be flexible." However, he is also quite a practical person. Therefore, the development of Mangshan County has stagnated, and last year's evaluation of the Ministry of Officials also gave him a medium evaluation. ”

Li Shaoyu thought of the little man Dongfang Hui who was always working hard in the corner of the classroom, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "What about the county secretary and the master book of Mangshan County?" But belong to other forces? ”

Yan Xiao said, "Your Highness, the county is called Sun Xiaobei, a native of Nanshan City, but I don't know if it has anything to do with the Zhang family." At least, we Tao Ranwei didn't find out what unknown background Sun Xiaobei has. ”

Li Shaoyu said, "However, it is not excluded that Sun Xiaobei is from the Zhang family or other families." ”

Yan Xiao couldn't deny it, "The main bookkeeper, Yan Fangqing, is a woman, thirty years old, and a native of Donghai City. ”

Li Shaoyu said, "How long has their team been in Mangshan County?" ”

Tu Shaojin said, "This year is the third year, and there are still three years to leave the post elsewhere." ”

Li Shaoyu was puzzled, "If you are elected for six years, will there be too much mobility for officials?" ”

Tu Xinya said with a smile, "Shaoyu, you don't know, this is to prevent lower-level officials from controlling the place, acting as a prestige in the place, and preying on the people." ”

Li Shaoyu said, "Can't you let the children of the royal family supervise it?" ”

Tu Shaojin said, "Seventh brother, for more than 1,000 years since the implementation of the Tui En Order, except for the prince of the dynasty, the other royal children are no different from ordinary rich families, and they all rely on their own struggle. Moreover, because the emperors of previous dynasties only had one queen and four concubines, for the sake of balance between all parties, there were not many heirs. ”

Li Shaoyu said, "That's really a headache." The territory of the Vulture Kingdom is almost all over Qiyun Star, and its population is only seven or eight billion. A remote and barren place like Mangshan County will not be divided into royal children. ”

Tu Shaojin was deeply touched, "That's right, like my father's generation, there are only two people, him and Uncle Yun Wang, and no royal children have been separated at all." ”

Yu Aotian, who had been driving silently, said, "Two Highnesses, if we continue like this, we will have to drive for five hours to reach Mangshan County." It is better to make a fire here first and make food, and then hurry after eating and drinking. ”

Tu Xinya looked out the window and said to Tu Shaojin, "Brother Prince, this place is good, the terrain is relatively open, and there is a small waterfall on the mountain in front." That's it, let's take a break before we go. ”

Tu Shaojin said, "It's okay, anyway, I don't cook, and it's night when I arrive at the county seat, so I don't care about this time." ”

When the car stopped, the eight trucks behind it also stopped.

Tu Shaojin looked at the rather quiet surroundings and instructed Yan Xiao, "Let all Tao Ranwei strengthen their vigilance." ”

You turned to Li Shaoyu and said, "Seventh brother, the person who bothered you made dinner." ”

Li Shaoyu didn't care and said, "It's okay, as long as you can reach Mangshan County smoothly." ”

Yu Aotian said to Li Shaoyu, "Your Highness, if this is the case, then the subordinates will go down and make arrangements." ”

"Well, remember, let everyone be vigilant, after all, they are all in the wilderness, so you must pay attention to safety."
