Chapter 163: What a Desperate Struggle Is It!
"It's really not easy for you to be assigned to our flower city to experience"
The county commander took off his official uniform and looked at Su Yan and his party with regret, and said: "Our only job here every day is to clean the city and clean up the bodies of the dead on the roadside, and there is no merit for you."
"Forget it, don't talk about those bad things, today is the first day for all Taoist friends to come to the Flower City, and I will personally lead you to experience the local customs!"
"Is the power of the clan and tribe really that big?" Su Yan asked with a look of surprise on his face.
"Fellow Daoists, please."
The county order invites everyone to sit in the inner hall, and then let the officials go to the street vegetable market to get some special products back, and then directly set up a banquet in the official office in the evening, and invite all the Taoist friends who came from the main city of the Xia Yu Dynasty to be the head of the wrongs.
"It's not that they are so powerful, the Red King is the ruler in the Red King's fiefdom, but the adults are busy fighting with the Eternal Life Sect and the Southern Xinjiang tribes, so they don't have time to manage these newly built cities."
After everyone was seated, the county commander said with a wry smile on his face: "We are outsiders, and we are also outsiders who are not very good at cultivation, how can the local clans and tribes look down on us?" ”
"As long as we pay the taxes on time every year, the Red King will give us flowers. Alas, in a word, you are just rich sons who have come here to make a living, and you should not have a serious conflict with the local clan for a day. ”
"I don't want to know your background, we are just passers-by who have a two-sided relationship, no matter how powerful your family is, you are the one who will be beaten in the next second, and no matter how ruthless the revenge is afterwards, you can't stop the pain on your body."
The situation of the flower city is particularly complicated, as the border city in the southeast of the Red King's fiefdom, it is often harassed by the Eternal Life Sect and the barbarians of southern Xinjiang, and the Red King Army is currently very short of manpower in the two-line battle, so it gives the border city clans and natives a lot of autonomy, and orders the natives to defend the city where they live.
The natives here are armed to the teeth, and there are only three main positions in the Flower City Bureau.
One: Repair the city and keep it tidy.
Two: supervise the production of the flower city, Xia Yu a small part of the artificial spirit plants and most of the flowers come from here.
Finally, it is necessary to collect various taxes from the city.
"These are the duties of our official office, I just finished sweeping the street with the officials this morning, and I almost fell down tired, if you didn't take over"
The county commander paused, and then a gloating expression appeared on his cheeks: "Then the county and I may take the lead in planting seedlings in the countryside next week." ”
As a county magistrate in an agricultural area, in addition to having basic urban management skills, it is also necessary to have common knowledge and procedures for farming.
It is impossible for the flower city to be promoted by management, so the county order and the county are both specializing in agriculture, and they want to improve the productivity of the flower area and keep the tax accounts neat and bright, and only in this way can they be promoted as soon as possible and leave this place where there is no royal law.
"As a prefectural order, you need to sweep the streets and farm?" Su Yan looked at the fat man with a strange face and asked.
"Generally speaking, there is no need, because the Red King Mansion has a special Yulu to give to the scavenger, but it is better to earn more Yulu if you are idle in the official office, anyway, it is already embarrassing enough to be a flower city and county order, it is better to earn more to pay filial piety to the above." The county magistrate explained to everyone with a faceless face:
"Of course, as a prefectural ordinance in an agricultural area, you should set an example for the people, but you don't need to do those things."
The prefectural magistrate is a master of agriculture, and every year during the rice planting and sowing season, he instructs the tenant farmers, and the landlords are happy to see the increase in production and will cooperate with the prefectural ordinance.
After listening to the description of the county ordinance to their jurisdiction, everyone fell directly into a state of speechlessness.
"What about the Immortal Sect and the Southern Xinjiang Tribe?"
Seeing that everyone began to doubt life, Su Yan was unwilling to ask the county order about other things.
If we can't get the achievements of management and production, then it's not difficult for us to make a little bit of public security credit, right?
"The Immortal Sect and the Southern Xinjiang Tribe?"
The county magistrate poured Su Yan another cup of tea, and then said unhurriedly: "That is the magic path that has been developed by the southern state in the past hundred years, how can they describe it to you?" The entire sect probably won't be able to find a single normal being, right? ”
"Or come with me, and I'll show you the thing in the storeroom."
Seeing that Su Yan was curious about the Immortal Sect, the county order did not hide it, and in the previous letter, he had specially told the county order to give more help in terms of intelligence, and the county order naturally knew everything and said everything.
As the prefectural decree opened the door of the storehouse, he picked up his flower district official seal from the side of the metal gate, and after opening the second metal gate, he led the people to a cage made entirely of silver, and the walls were inlaid with gold wire patterns.
"It is the formation of the Sect of Eternal Life."
After glancing at everyone, the county commander handed the official seal in his hand to the county lord who seemed to be the most stable and oldest.
In the cage of the secret room in the warehouse, there is a wooden sculpture that is covered in turquoise, the facial features of the wooden girl are vivid and vivid, and a pair of fox ears on her head are more lively and naughty, but the layer of cyan on her body is like moss and mold, causing the wooden man to smell of earth all over his body.
It even made the air in the cell muddy.
The prefectural commander covered his mouth and nose with his cuffs, raised his hand and used a dagger to pry away the green moss on the wooden man's chest, so that its chest was completely exposed to everyone's eyes, and said, "See the wound on the chest that was pierced by the blade. I guess you all know what it was when it was alive, right? ”
The lifelike wood carving of a fox-eared girl in front of her was actually a living creature three years ago.
The wooden girl used to be a member of the Immortal Demon Dao, and after her death, she directly turned into a decaying wood carving, and if it weren't for the cage formation that kept her body alive, she would have already decayed.
"The Immortal Sect was born out of the Nightmare Town Sect, and it is an evil method that can alienate living beings. She was originally a maid of the landlord's family in the countryside, but then she fell into the hands of the Eternal Life Sect and became a Jindan monk in less than two years, so she turned her head and sneaked into Flower City to assassinate the people of the Hua clan" The county magistrate shook his head and said: "The brutality of eternal life is not something that my county magistrate can imagine. ”
"I've already said what I should say, as a student of the Yongle Academy, you may be more powerful than our government office combined in terms of intelligence, so I won't be verbose and advise you to be careful, just think about whether it's worth it yourself."
"Let's go for a walk, go outside to drink tea, the flower tea we produce is a must for Xia Yu."
The flower area under the jurisdiction of the Red King is a war-torn area, and the Immortal Sect and the barbarians of Southern Xinjiang are often haunted.
And this belongs to the clan autonomous region, the influence of Xia Yu's official office is relatively small, and the clans of large and small clans choose to live here because they are afraid of the Red King, and hundreds of years of mutual marriage and annexation have created several strong families with earth immortals sitting in the clan.
The official office of the flower city also belongs to the Xia Yu Dynasty, otherwise those clans would have been bulldozed and a kiln would have been built in this prime area to earn silver taels from the people in the city.
Local forces can be called terrifying.
These are all county orders that are not said, but they are actively expressing the true situation inside and outside the words.
Don't be stupid here, after the Red King Army gets rid of the Immortal Sect and the barbarians of Southern Xinjiang and annexes their lands, it will naturally rectify the security of the fiefdom and crack down on the local indigenous clan forces.
There is no need for you to interfere too much here, and you are not like this nonsense!
Horror, there was an earthquake in my house
