"Let's go, there's nothing to see here. www.biquge.info"Since there are big people patrolling, Du Qian doesn't want to collide with the other party, because of Sikong Yi, Du Qian is fortunate to have met several city lords of Pingchuan City, none of them are worry-free, including his cheap brother-in-law, it is best not to see it."

Although his face was a little fat and out of shape at that time, even if he saw it, the other party might not be able to recognize him, but these people's eyes were quite poisonous, and they had a lot of heart eyes, who knows? Du Qian didn't want people to know that he had returned to Pingchuan City for the time being.

The power of that cheap brother-in-law in Pingchuan City is really not small, and the aunt is not a wife, if you want to see the most real side, it is better to see it yourself.

The treasure area is a little chaotic, the central area is more strict, after thinking twice, Du Qian decided to take everyone to Zhoushan District, in fact, Zhoushan District is not so clean, such as Pingchuan, a small place, except for the central area where dignitaries live, the situation in the other four districts is similar.

Du Qian had never left Pingchuan before, so naturally he didn't feel anything, and after living in Beijing for a few months, he would find that the central area of Pingchuan was not only small, but also really not very good, and there was no comparison in terms of health, environment, business, and politics.

Zhoushan District is close to the Zhoushan Mountain Range, and most of the people living here are mountain demons, of course, not real monsters, but a kind of joking name, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and most of the people living here go to the mountains to beg for a living. The most natural in the mountains are wild beasts, if you go deep into the Zhou Mountain, you will encounter spirit beasts, then you can only blame your bad luck.

The mountain demon is a joke, it is more accurate to say that it is a hunter and a medicine picker, and the sea boat is different, going to the mountains to beg for a life requires more individual strength, compared to the other three districts, there are obviously more martial monks living in Zhoushan District.

The survivability of the martial monks is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary civilians, the income is high, the life is naturally better, and even the conditions of the hotel are a few points better than the other three districts. Of course, in Pingchuan City, the best hotels are in the central area, which is incomparable.

Fortunately, everyone has been soaking in the Stone Mansion in recent months, and compared to the Demon Cave Stone Mansion, no matter how bad the hotel is, it is much better than the underground temporary camp, even the permanent camp in the Demon Capital is not comparable. This difference, just like a transport ship and a liner ship, has different purposes, and the comfort level is naturally very different.

The hotel in Zhoushan District, the room is not small, the hot water all day long, coupled with the unique food of Pingchuan, relaxes, makes the whole body soft, and even the tight skin is a little soft.

"I'm going out. After eating and taking a bath, Du Qian said to Zhu Ke.

Zhu Ke glanced at Du Qian, sure that he didn't want to bring himself, a little hesitant, the smaller the place, the more there is no royal law, the laws of the empire cannot cover the whole territory, many remote small city lords, that is, the local soil emperor, even if Shangjing sends someone over to supervise, it is useless, the time is a little longer, it will definitely be co-opted.

For the sake of an inconspicuous second-level city, it is impossible to send people with more identity and ability, as long as the city lord recognizes the jurisdiction of the Zhoushan Empire and pays taxes as usual every year, he usually turns a blind eye and is too lazy to care.

For His Majesty the Emperor, it is impossible to control such a large empire in the palm of his hand, after all, people's hearts are the most complicated, as long as the army and taxes are managed, it is enough.

"It's okay, I'll take Yao Jing and Ruan Yu with me. Seeing Zhu Ke's hesitation, Du Qian spoke. Yao Jing had long known about her aunt, Ruan Yu was the one he was going to stay here to protect her aunt's family, and sooner or later he would get to know her, so it was just right to take her there.

In Pingchuan City, the strongest martial monk, whose strength is also a battle master, is equivalent to Ruan Yu, even if he faces several city lords, Du Qian does not need to worry about safety.

"Well, be careful, and if anything, let them come back and call me. Zhu Ke thought for a while, nodded and said, this was originally Du Qian's hometown, he was more familiar with it than himself, Ruan Yu's strength, he knew it in his heart, don't look at the advanced war division for a short time, the strength is not weak at all, among the same level, there are not a few people who can take her down, and there should be no such people in a small place like Pingchuan.

As long as Du Qian is not killed on the spot, there is a way to clean up the other party afterwards. Take a step back and say, is Du Qian so easy to kill? What are you kidding, Du Qian is his Zhu Ke's boss, and he is a soul master himself, even if he is not very good at using the ability of a soul master, it is no problem to protect himself. With that miniature version of the stone golem alone, no one in Pingchuan City could handle it.

I called a car, entered the central area, not far from my aunt's house, found a teahouse, sat upstairs, and looked at Zhang's mansion from afar. It's a holiday, and my aunt shouldn't have gone to work, but her job is usually easy, and no one cares if she actually works or not.

After looking at it for a while, Du Qianyi frowned, on the surface, it seemed that there was no change in the Zhangfu, but Du Qian always felt that the colors in the Zhangfu were a little wrong, too festive? Could it be that there are any happy events in the Zhangfu recently?

"Doctor, another pot of green leaves. Du Qian beckoned, I saw the tea brand just now, and the green leaves are the most expensive tea in this teahouse.

"Coming soon, you wait. Hearing that Du Qian wanted green leaves, he knew that this was a rich master, so he naturally greeted him wholeheartedly.

"Doctor, what's new in Pingchuan in the past year?" Du Qian asked, the Zhou Shan coin on the table was pushed to Dr. Cha, in the eyes of the martial monks, the role of Zhou Shan coin is limited, among the civilians, Zhou Shan coin is still quite strong, and the purchasing power is not bad.

The face value of 20 yuan Zhoushan coins is at least half of the salary of this tea doctor. This is also because this tea house, located in the central area, is replaced by the other four districts, and the salary for a month is normal. When Du Qian first joined the patrol team, it was only forty or fifty yuan a month, and the public officials received a standard high salary, which was far from being comparable to the guys in the teahouse.

"This year, that's a lot, what do you want to hear?" Dr. Tea generously took Zhou Shan's coins, it is allowed to receive tips here, of course, you have to give the big head to the boss, and you can get a part of it. Sure enough, he was a nobleman, and he shot for twenty yuan, and such a high roller is rare.

"Who is the current city lord? Is it still the city lord of Zhu? I haven't been to Pingchuan for a year. Du Qian said with a smile.

"It's not a long time ago, it was replaced half a year ago. Dr. Tea was in front of the three of them, washed the green leaves, and said softly.

Without waiting for Du Qian to ask again, he continued: "Now our Pingchuan City Lord is the City Lord of Kuai Peng, who took over half a year ago, and he is very surprised to overwhelm the two deputy city lords of Zhang and Ming." ”

Since Du Qianneng asked the Lord of Zhu City, he was no stranger to Pingchuan City, so Dr. Tea didn't say anything in more detail.

"Oh! It's actually Kuai Peng? How is this possible?" Du Qian was quite surprised, although Du Qian usually didn't gossip, but everyone knew about the matter in Pingchuan City. Shenren's combat power is the strongest, his edge is exposed, Zhang Yu is very scheming, and his strength is not weak, in contrast, Kuai Peng is the worst of the three deputy city lords, he represents the local forces, if it weren't for the promotion of many commercial houses behind him, he wouldn't even have the qualifications to be the deputy city lord at the beginning.

As for that Zhu Zhenqing, after all, he is from outside, and he can sit firmly as a city lord in the first realm, which is already quite skillful, no matter what, in a small place like Pingchuan, the interpersonal relationships are complicated, and there are too many interests in it, so it is impossible for outsiders to occupy the position of city lord for a long time.

"Accidental, when we first heard about it, it was also quite unexpected, although the city lord behind the business house pushed, but his own ability is really weak, who would have thought that he gave birth to a good son, and there is a second son behind him to give advice, and he is forced to fight a bloody way among the two deputy city lords of Zhang and Ming, pushing his Lao Tzu to the throne. Dr. Cha's voice became smaller and smaller, and he couldn't hear it clearly from a little distance, after all, he was talking about his own city lord, and some words were okay in his heart, but it was not good to say them so that people could hear them.

Du Qian's face was confused, in a year's time, there will really be a lot of surprising things. In fact, you really can't say how surprised you are, the city lord's own ability is indeed a big problem, but the local trading house can't push a second suitable candidate, so naturally they can only fully support him. In addition, there is an excellent strategist who has an innate advantage over Zhang and Ming, and those two are too strong, if they become the city lord, it will definitely not be a good thing for the local trading house.

As for the big foreign trading houses, such as Piaoxue, Reimer, and Buzhou, people here are only branches, and what they care about is making money, and whoever is the lord of the city does not dare to attack them, and they naturally don't care, you can play by yourself.

"After the city lord took office, has there been any major changes in Pingchuan?"

"It's not a big change, everything is going well, business is getting better and better, and the tax revenue is more than before, that is, in terms of public welfare, not only has it not increased, but it has decreased. Dr. Tea said calmly, it seems that the public welfare investment has decreased, and he is not surprised.

Du Qian's mind turned to understand the reason, everyone knew that the Hundred Years War was approaching, and the preparations for the war would inevitably increase investment, although Pingchuan was inland, reliable sea, and a navy, it was inevitable to go to the front line by sea.

Although the news of the common people is relatively closed, there are not many people with brains and vision, and even if someone has an opinion at the beginning, it quickly makes sense to those who understand.

From this point of view, Kuai Peng's ascension to the throne is really a good thing for Pingchuan City. If it is replaced by Zhang Yu, I am afraid that the life of ordinary people will be even harder, and if it is replaced by Mingren, there may be some trouble.

"The two deputy city lords of Zhang and Ming, don't you have any ideas?" Du Qian led towards the Zhang family little by little.

"How can it not be? But it's useless, there are too many people who support the city lord, accounting for more than eighty percent, even if they keep making small moves in private, they are still pressed down in the end, and the people above also hope that Pingchuan City will be stable. As he spoke, he pointed to the sky.

"Is there a happy event in the city lord's family?" Du Qian asked casually.

"It's true, three days later, the lord of Zhang City married his daughter and married the lord of Kuaicheng's family. This Zhang City Lord is definitely a ruthless person. Dr. Tea snickered.

Obviously, you can't take it by force, you can only take it in a roundabout. (To be continued.) )
