"What can I see there?" Yang Ziyu was puzzled.

"Look at the mentality of the people there, look at how Shen Ling's governing methods are, and see if we have trouble fighting Tanglin Fei......" Li Feiqiu said.

……

Although he said that he wanted to go to the county town to have a look, Li Feiqiu would not force the Ding family's convoy to stop for his own inspection, but during the short period of time when he changed horses and rested, Li Feiqiu had the opportunity to inspect the lives of the people in these counties.

"Hey, people just stopped here for an hour, what are you trying to do when you run out again?" Yang Ziyu yawned and said, sleeping in the carriage all the way, although the carriage was not fast, and the carriage was not bumpy, but it was still not very comfortable, so as soon as he arrived at the post station, Yang Ziyu planned to find a place to make up for sleep, but was dragged out by Li Feiqiu.

"It's just a short while, it's not much use, but the more we sleep, the more sleepy we become, and we won't be sleepy when we go out." Li Feiqiu pulled her out.

"What's so nice about this?" Yang Ziyu rolled his eyes, "It's not as good as falling down, there's not even a place to sell sugar gourds." ”

"After all, it's just a county, and it's normal that it's not as prosperous as Luodu." Li Feiqiu didn't care much.

"But even as a county, this place is too dilapidated and backward." Yang Ziyu kicked the house on the side of the road, and the wall fluttered and fell dirt slag, "Look at this house, what's the difference between it and a shack?" ”

"Hmm...... Could it be that it is too far away from the center of Tanglin Province, so the development is not very good? Li Feiqiu also felt that this place was really a bit broken.

"Are you sure?" Yang Ziyu nodded towards a luxurious building in the distance, "Look at that county office, are you sure that this place is not developing well?" ”

Li Feiqiu looked intently, in the middle of many earthen houses and shacks, there stood a gorgeous building, with white walls and red tiles, green trees, and even two white stone lions at the door.

"Damn, when I was a county magistrate in Izumo County before, it was the Feng family who gave money to build a barely inhabitable building, but the county government here was so luxurious." Li Feiqiu thought of the Izumo County Ya with a big hole on the roof again, and he was indignant in his heart, so it seemed that he was not greedy enough.

"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Yang Ziyu asked, "At a glance, you can see that the county order here is definitely not a good person, why don't we rob the rich and help the poor?" ”

"Forget it, if you don't make trouble, let's go back." Li Feiqiu said, "In this case, the officials are corrupt and the people are numb, and it seems that it is indeed a good choice to fight Tanglin." ”

Back in the post station, although Ding Lao Ghost and the others had already changed their horses, they did not set off, but just waited in place.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Ghost, we went out for a walk, and everyone waited for a long time, let's go?" Li Feiqiu said rather apologetically.

"Young master, this matter is really not bad for you, we can't leave for the time being, we have to wait for a while." Old Ghost Ding sighed and said.

"We've been discovered?" Yang Ziyu's eyes showed a fierce light.

"Even if they find us, they won't jump out at this time, why can't they let us go inside and do it again?" Li Feiqiu said.

"Because they said that our road guide has expired and we have to pay to renew it." Old Ghost Ding said.

"So, your path guide is due?" Li Feiqiu was curious.

"How is that possible? This road is all back and forth, no problem when you go, how can you have a problem when you come? Old Ghost Ding said, "It doesn't matter, my mother has already gone to stuff them with money, and she will be able to leave soon?" ”

"They even dare to extort the Ding family's money?" Li Feiqiu was shocked, didn't he say that the Ding family was a big family in Tianhai, and these princes and princesses all had to give face to the Ding family?

"The king of Hades is better, the little ghost is difficult, it costs dozens of hundreds of taels of silver at a time, and in this situation, the state capitals are independent, and if they want to do it, they will have to go through the hands of Her Royal Highness Shen Ling, the princess of Tangling, but then you have to owe her favors. In addition to venting anger, there is no benefit at all, so it is just to give money, and it should be fed to the dog. Ding Lao Ghost said.

"I noticed something else, Mother? That old lady, you say? Yang Ziyu narrowed his eyes.

"I'm a little old, but that's my mother." Old Ghost Ding said.

"Well, if you don't say it, I thought you were bigger than that old lady." Yang Ziyu said.

"I feel a little sad inexplicably." Old Ghost Ding said.

"Look at it, look at it, such a big person, let you break the defense with one sentence." Li Feiqiu said.

Just as a few people were chatting, Ding Sunian came back. "Okay, stop talking, let's go, after I go back, I must report to the higher-ups, change this trade route, and don't leave here."

"Do they want a lot?" Li Feiqiu was curious.

"It's mainly these people...... Ding Sunian snorted, "Forget it, don't bother to scold them, these people are really rotten to the roots." ”

"They do this, does that Shen Ling care?" Yang Ziyu was puzzled, "Anyway, this is a little too arrogant." ”

"Young master, do you know how to raise incorruptible silver?" Ding Sunian asked.

"You know, so to speak, isn't the amount of money Shen Ling gave you incorruptible?" Li Feiqiu asked.

"That's not it, but on the contrary, it's the people below who send money up." Ding Sunian said.

"Sent up?" Li Feiqiu didn't understand.

"It's the officials here who send money up, and if they send a certain amount of money, they will definitely be clean officials when they take the merit test," Ding Sunian said, with a look of disdain in his eyes.

"So that's what it means to raise incorruptible silver?" Li Feiqiu felt that his understanding of raising incorruptible silver had another layer.

"But this belongs to fishing with all your might, if you continue like this, Donglin will be gone sooner or later." Yang Ziyu said.

"Miss, if you look at the map, you will know, Tanglin is a plain, easy to attack and difficult to defend, coupled with the current situation, Tanglin will be the mouth of several other princes and princesses sooner or later, it is better to make some money now, and then go to other countries incognito, such as Ziyun next door is very good, there have been cases before where the prince and princess could not fight for the throne and ran to Ziyun." Ding Sunian said.

"I remember that Tianhai is not the inheritance ......of royal power," Li Feiqiu remembered Zhuge Yuechen's words.

"Then there is really no way, you can only wait for them to die of natural old age, and the power will be gathered on the emperor." Ding Sunian said, "But the young master still knows about this? Your Highness trusts you so much? ”

"It was the Moon Fairy who said it." Yang Ziyu said.

"Uh, ha, ha, ha, young master, you still have a relationship with the Moon Fairy, it's really a bit of a surprise." Ding Sunian's expression suddenly became respectful.

"The Moon Fairy's face is so big?" Li Feiqiu said with a wink.

……

After leaving the broken county seat, the group traveled all the way through the stars and nights, and passed through many county towns on the way, but the situation was almost the same, basically the people were not happy, and the officials were full of fat. The cultivated area of Tanglin is not small, but looking at the living conditions of the people, it is not even as good as Jiuping.

"Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." Li Feiqiu looked at these people and couldn't help but sigh.

"So, you're going to hit this place first, aren't you?" Yang Ziyu asked in a low voice.

"Not necessarily, I think this place is so bad, they don't need to fight at all, just wait for them to collapse on their own." Li Feiqiu said, "Judging from the style of officials, it won't be long before the people will rise up and rebel." ”

"By the way, do you know the situation in Qizhou?" Yang Ziyu asked.

"The situation in Qizhou is much better, Prince Shen Jian is also a very powerful figure, Qizhou is inferior to Tanglin in terms of resources and territory, but this person can maintain it, and it is really not easy to withstand the pressure from both Qingyuan and Tanglin." Ding Sunian said.

"So, Qizhou is still not easy to fight?" Yang Ziyu said, "I'm still counting on it, if the situation in Qizhou is worse, it can be completely attacked in Qizhou first, and that place is easy to guard, isn't it?" ”

"It's true that you can fight Qizhou first," Li Feiqiu jumped into the carriage, "It's just that we still have to look at the specific situation in Qizhou before making a decision, but now that I have seen so many things, at least it proves that this trip was not in vain." ”
