The carriage goes and stops.

Finally, after traveling for more than a month, I came to Suzhou.

"There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below."

"I don't know what the scenery is like in Suzhou?" Li Shimin said with a smile.

Qin Fan pouted: "It's been dry for a month, even if it's a beautiful scenery, it's gone!" ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin shook his head and said, "This is bad!" Some views don't need to be set off by water. ”

Qin Fan said: "You came to Suzhou this season, you really picked the wrong time!" The most beautiful should be the spring of March. ”

"At that time, in the south of the Yangtze River, the flowers and grasses were warblers and swallows, which was called a grand occasion."

Hearing this, Li Shimin wondered: "Brother Qin, you have obviously never been to Suzhou, why are you so insightful of the scenery here?" ”

Qin Fan pouted, he couldn't tell Lao Li that he had seen Suzhou a thousand years later!

"There is a golden house in the book, and through the depiction and imagination of the predecessors, that scenery jumps into my mind!"

Li Shimin shook his head: "This is not good!" After all, there is a certain difference between imagination and reality. ”

"Brother Qin, you might as well see it with your own eyes!"

At this time, the eldest grandson Wuji on the side spoke:

"If the old man is not mistaken, this year's new champion seems to be in Suzhou."

Hearing this, Li Shimin pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Brother Qin, your apprentice is serving as a county magistrate in Taicang County, let's pass by, why don't you go and take a look?"

Qin Fan refused: "All this is his own personal trial. If even Taicang is not well governed, how can it contribute to the development of the entire Datang in the future? ”

Li Shimin has a different opinion:

"Brother Qin, you may not know that the county order in Jiangnan is very different from the county order in Chang'an!"

Hearing this, Qin Fan was stunned: "What's the difference, you might as well say it directly." ”

Li Shimin nodded and said:

"After all, Wannian County lives in Chang'an. It's not so easy to have a small family who wants to seize the power in the hands of you, the magistrate. ”

"But Jiangnan is far away from the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty, and the influence of the imperial court here will be reduced."

"It is also common for local gentry to elevate officials from the central government!"

"Although Zheng Yuan is compelling, he has the talent of the world!"

"But after all, I have no experience in officialdom, and I don't know much about some door-to-door things."

"If we don't go to see it, I'm afraid he will be bullied by the local officials!"

Hearing this, Qin Fan couldn't help frowning.

Yes, if there are some administrative problems, it is natural for Zheng Yuan to solve them himself.

But if you encounter an enemy that Zheng Yuan is difficult to solve, wouldn't it be useless to let the other party stay in the local area for three years to accumulate experience?

When I returned to the capital, I was afraid that I would not be able to accumulate experience, not to mention, and I would make a commotion.

It's all the preferential treatment of the original county order, and they've all been lost!

After all, although Zheng Yuan has studied with him for more than a month.

But after all, he was not welcomed in the Zheng family, and he was a concubine.

And he has no prestige in this Jiangnan, so he can't be relied on behind him.

In this way, if Zheng Yuan was vacated by the local officials, wouldn't he go to Jiangnan and mix up for another three years?

Thinking of this possibility, Qin Fan spoke:

"Then let's go check it out!"

"But if he doesn't need help, just retreat!"

Li Shimin was also very curious about this champion who had broken his mind, so he naturally nodded and agreed.

So, the team stayed in Suzhou for a few more nights.

Taicang County, early morning.

"His uncle! Didn't you go fetch water? How to go home empty-handed. ”

In the teahouse, a woman asked the old man carrying an empty bucket.

The old man sighed:

"Whew! Don't mention it! Even the sneering springs are no longer bubbling, it's too dry! ”

Hearing this, Li Shimin and others, who were eating tea on the side, were moved.

Li Shimin stepped forward slowly and asked:

"Old man, the spring on this mountain has broken off, (this chapter is not finished!) )

Chapter 173: Why don't you stop by and take a look

Can't you just go to the river to fetch water? ”

"If the water source is cut off, won't your teahouse have to close?"

The old man turned his head and saw that it was Li Shimin who was speaking, so he sighed:

"Guest officer, you are from out of town, so naturally you don't know what to do!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was surprised for a while.

"It's just a matter of picking up water, and you still need a doorway?"

The old man said: "Although our tea stall uses tea foam, it is just to give passing guests a place to rest and escape the heat." ”

"But there is still a huge difference between the spring water and the river water!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin couldn't help but move in his heart.

Unexpectedly, the owner of this tea stall was so affectionate and righteous.

Obviously, this tea is sold so cheaply, but it is necessary to pursue quality.

Tea should be made with sweet spring water, not river water.

Just when Li Shimin was thinking like this, the old man said:

"Old man, if I switch to the river water, I won't be able to earn back the money from this water! Not to mention this business! ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Shimin was stunned:

"What? Do you have to charge money to fetch water in the river? ”

The old man nodded and said:

"Collect! Why don't you take it? ”

"Ten pennies for a bucket of water. If I want the clearer water that I use to make tea, I have to add an extra five cents. ”

"But in our tea stall, a bowl of herbal tea is only two yuan, where can I afford to use that fifteen yuan a bucket of water!"

The old man sighed and began to pack up with another woman who was standing by the tea stall to greet customers.

"When I run out of water, I'll close the stall! I didn't expect that my tea stall would be closed one day because of lack of water! ”

Hearing these words, Li Shimin was angry and emotional.

This people draw water, and they want to collect money.

And it's ten cents a bucket of water!

Is this water elixir? It's still jade liquid!

Zheng Yuan, this guy, I didn't see that he was so virtuous before.

Now it seems that it is really the same as those people!

There is no good thing from a family.

The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he got up angrily.

I'm going to find that Zheng Yuan.

Seeing this, the old man spoke:

"Guest officer, you haven't drunk this tea yet!"

Li Shimin's face was blue, and he said angrily:

"I'm going to get justice for you, and I'll arrest the county order and ask about it."

"If the people go to the river to fetch water to drink, they have to spend a lot of money, so there is no way to live!"

As soon as he heard this, the old man was anxious.

rushed up and stopped in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin frowned: "Don't be afraid, old man!" The county order can't help me! I will definitely teach a good lesson to such corrupt officials who fish and flesh the common people! ”

Hearing this, the old man became even more anxious, and even showed a trace of murderous aura on his face.

And the woman who called his uncle on the side also ran out with a spoon for scooping water.

At the same time, he shouted around:

"Folks, this deflated man wants to arrest Master Zheng Yuan!"
