Chapter 280, City Entry Tax
More than a month later.
The officials sent by the imperial court arrived in southern Xinjiang one after another.
"The first thing to start treating was the miasma."
Ying Lili gave the task.
She didn't know much, but these people weren't mediocre.
Those who can be dispatched by Rong Qingzhang are today's bigwigs in all aspects.
They led their soldiers and began to repair the waterways.
Ying Lili also sent a message to Bai Wei to ask for advice on how to deal with these dense snakes, insects, rats and ants in southern Xinjiang, as well as the huge mosquitoes that can be seen everywhere.
Initially it must have been the hardest.
Don't say that it's a soldier, even Ying Lili also rushed to the front line.
Some people who originally didn't care about this saw that even the dignified queen was busy with their feet on the ground.
In the end, it didn't last long.
In less than two months, almost all the people were soldiers and joined in this major renovation to improve their homes.
With the presence of gunpowder, road construction was much easier than before.
In just two years, southern Xinjiang has changed.
Thanks to everyone's efforts, the miasma was cleared of the main traffic sections, and roads were built to connect the major state capitals.
Si Nonglang of the court has a strong knowledge and experience in agriculture.
Coupled with some of Ying Lili's opinions, in the second year, southern Xinjiang achieved two harvests a year.
By the time Ying Kururi was ready to return to Kyoto with his troops, the third crop of the third year was being planted here.
Southern Xinjiang occupies a favorable time and place, and has really achieved food and clothing.
And the grain also arrived in nearby Fuzhou and other places.
Once, they didn't like Zhao.
Now that she learned that Ying Lili was about to leave, countless people cried and begged her to stay.
"Nonsense, Niangniang has been here with us for three years, and whose husband and wife haven't seen each other for three years."
There are old people who can't look at it.
scolded with a straight face.

Anhe County.
Knowing that the dried tofu here is particularly delicious, on the way back to Beijing, Ying Lili took a few people to take a detour, preparing to buy some and go back to the son at home to taste it.
However, as soon as he approached the county seat, he was stopped by the defenders of the city.
"Entrance tax." The other party stared at several of them, one woman and three men, could it be the eldest lady of which family?
Guan Shou frowned: "What kind of entry tax, we are all the people of Jokhang, and we only need the official to guide the road in the Jokhang territory, so why do we need to enter the city." ”
If you also need to pay taxes, the government will give you free of charge.
This is all to prevent some criminals from escaping unchecked.
At least for the civilian population, there is no hindrance.
The other party sneered: "Poor ghost? If you don't pay, you will go back and forth. ”
The guard wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ying Lili's eyes.
He had to give the other party eighteen copper coins in disgust.
This is ridiculously expensive, and you need to pay six copper plates at a time to enter the city?
into the city.
The streets are indeed lively.
But it's not your average bustle.
But I heard the crying in front of me, as if something had happened.
Ying Lili led them close and saw a man and two women, kneeling on the ground.
In front of them was a bloodied middle-aged man who had been beaten.
"Hey, you better go back, Anhe County can spare your life, it's already your life."
"That's right, a living person can't even want his life for the sake of a dead person."
"The Liu family in the east of the city, is that easy to provoke? Liu Yuanwai's younger sister, but she married into the Gu family as an aunt's wife, she is a family valve that has stood up to the sky, who dares to provoke it. ”
There was a lot of talk around the people.
Ying Lili stepped forward and said, "I'm a doctor, let me show him." ”
The three of them looked up at her, and she was a very kind woman.
Choked up: "Thank you for the kindness." ”
After the pulse diagnosis, Ying Lili's face was very ugly.
This man was beaten badly, his internal organs were ruptured, and under the existing conditions, no one could save him except Bai Wei.
But Bai Wei is still in Kyoto at the moment, and even if he comes quickly, it will take at least ten days, which is far from enough.
"I'm sorry!"
Ying Lili said: "I can't save him, my master can, but he is in Kyoto now, and it will take at least ten days to arrive." ”
The person in front of him couldn't hold out for two days at all.
"But I can avenge you." Ying Lili's face was solemn, "Tell me your grievances." ”
Seeing this, the onlookers on the side dissuaded one after another.
"Girl, this was beaten by the county master, how can you help."
"That's right, let's not worry about it."
"Girl, Mingzhe is important to protect himself."
Ying Lili stood up and looked at the onlookers around her.
Said: "If I don't care, in the future, when you encounter difficulties, you will be like them, and there is no way to ask for help." ”
She looked at the three of them and said, "Tell me, what's going on." ”
The three of them seemed to be shocked by Ying Lili's aura, and a trace of hope gradually grew in their hearts.
These three are the sons and daughters of those who are in front of them.
The seriously injured person was named Yang He, with two sons and two daughters under his knees.
There is also a youngest son, Yang Xu.
Yang Xu looks good, the young man has a sweet mouth and can endure hardships.
Later, in the porcelain shop in the county, he learned the craft from the master, and because of his good character and talent, the master gave him his precious daughter.
After marriage, the young couple was very affectionate, and they became pregnant in less than two months.
But when they went to the temple outside the city to offer incense together, Yang Xu's wife was valued by the son-in-law of the Liu family in the north of the city, and she took people away in broad daylight.
Yang Xu was naturally unwilling, and stepped forward to fight with that group of people.
But two fists are invincible to four hands, Yang Xu was soon beaten to the point of dying, and one leg would be broken alive.
At the same time, his wife was also taken away by the man.
That night, Yang Xu returned to the city with his body, but saw his wife's body thrown by the woods at the city gate, with no dignity.
Yang Xu couldn't swallow this breath, and knocked on the door of the yamen that night.
However, what people didn't expect was that Yang Xu's corpse appeared in front of the yamen the next day, and it was already cold.
When the Yang family got the news, they asked God to sue the Buddha and wanted to seek justice for their son and daughter-in-law, but the yamen never accepted it.
And Yang Xu's father-in-law was the same, and was finally killed alive.
Yang He was beaten this time to avenge his youngest son and was tortured.
"Chang Zhong, you go and investigate whether the situation is true."
"Guard, bring more people over."
He took out a piece of silver and handed it to the man.
"Your father's internal organs have been ruptured in many places, and I am not good at learning and cannot be cured."
"This ingot of silver is for you, so stay with him."
"I took your family's grievances."
The other looked sad, but did not accept the money.
"Why are you not good at learning?" A familiar voice rang out.
Ying Lili turned his head and saw an elegant and handsome middle-aged man standing behind the crowd.
His face was overjoyed.
"Master?"
Bai Wei, who was dressed in a red brocade robe, stepped forward and checked Yang He's pulse.
said: "Move to the nearest medical center, move lightly." ”
Then he tapped Ying Lili's forehead, "You, you're just going to cause trouble." ”
"Master!" Ying Lili said with a smile: "I heard that many people say that the dried tofu in Anhe County is a local must, and it happens to be smooth, I want to buy some and give it back to you to taste." (End of chapter)
