Instead of going to the rich land first and giving people the suspicion of pleasure, it is better to go to this barren land and make good achievements, so that the people can be convinced, and only by winning the hearts of the people can this fiefdom be safe and stable.

Since the day of the wedding, when he got this fiefdom, Fang Ling has secretly sworn that no matter how sinister and barren this place is, he must establish his own power in this place, and one day, return to the imperial city!

Early in the morning of the second day, more than 30 people from six groups of caravans went on the road together, and the road seemed to be mighty, as if the heavenly prince also intended to be beautiful, and sprinkled a heavy fog.

The mountain road is opened up around the mountain, and the road is quite wide, but there are a few dangerous places, and it is easy to fall off the cliff if you go fast.

Fortunately, the companions are all experienced business travelers, and they will be reminded when they encounter dangerous places, and there is no interference from bandits, so it is very safe to walk this way.

By the afternoon, the mountain road was divided into three, one of which led to Feng County.

Although Fang Ling and the others didn't know how barren Feng County was, they knew that Wang Tieshi and the other merchants did not have a team to go there, so they knew that they must be even poorer than they imagined.

After bidding farewell to the merchants, Fang Ling and his party embarked on the road to Fengxian, passing through two poor small villages along the way, and in the afternoon, they saw the county seat of Fengxian from a distance.

The county is surrounded by mountains on three sides, these large and small mountains are the junction of the Misty Mountain and the Shilong Mountain Range, the Misty Mountain is dense and deep, the Shilong Mountain Range is big and dangerous, and it is a wonderful place for the thieves to hide.

In addition to the green mountains with many forests, there are many bare mountains outside the city, all of which are covered with white and blue stones, which makes the place even more barren.

There is a large amount of farmland outside the county, but these soils are not very fertile land, but mixed with a large number of sand grains, listening to Meng Zhiyuan's explanation, this kind of soil is sandy, and it is a very sandy sandy soil, which is not easy to retain water and fertilizer.

In the rainless season, it is easy to become dry, and if there is more rain, the nutrients are easy to be washed away, and it is easy to become sour after the rain, and the mud surface becomes hard, which is actually not suitable for growing vegetables, so the fruits and vegetables grown in the farmland here are not good.

When I got closer, I saw the tall bluestone city wall, which seemed to be in disrepair, and many parts of it had been weathered and broken, and it looked dilapidated.

However, at the gate of the city, there were two very energetic soldiers defending the city, both of whom were young men in their early 20s, wearing military uniforms that were a little shabby, but they were in a straight military posture, holding iron guns, guarding both sides of the city gate like a benchmark.

Seeing three carriages coming, one of them immediately stood up, stretched out his hand to stop everyone, and then asked with a serious face, "What are you doing in the city?"

Although the young man in front of him looked a little immature, his serious attitude was clear-eyed, and Fang Ling couldn't help but smile and asked, "You asked us like this, are you afraid that we are thieves?"

The young soldier smiled and said, "Bandits don't enter the city so blatantly, but there has always been a law in this county, which stipulates that the entry and exit of carriages and horses must be verified. ”

Chen Mou, who was in the same car, whispered: "Although the county seat is small, the rules are not reduced, and this Lord Cao is quite conscientious." ”
