Chapter 1 Jianghu is not about fighting and killing
Jiangning Mansion.
Wu'an County.
The county magistrate Su Mu lay comfortably in the rocking chair and looked at the street casually.
This private room in the Cuihong Building has an excellent view, and the pedestrians below are bustling and endless.
"My lord, is it okay for me to be strong?" The maid who was beating her legs next to her, with a smile on her face, asked softly.
"Yes, that's it, sir, I'll reward you more later."
"Thank you, Lord Su!"
The maid thanked her repeatedly, and was much more cheerful.
Su Mu then closed his eyes and enjoyed it, with a faint smile on his face.
This kind of fairy life is absolutely amazing!
Listening to the noisy but happy market outside, Su Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Looking back at the beginning, when he had just crossed from the modern era, it was really difficult to call it step by step.
It is said that crossing, not all of them have to be a prince or something, they are directly and properly rich and noble.
But he was unlucky, but he crossed over to a county order.
There is no money and no power to pay it back, but it is just in the midst of disasters and famines, and Wu'an County is in chaos.
The government has no deterrent effect, and the people are in dire straits, and even the yacha has let the angry county citizens beat and kill several people.
Su Mu can be said to be carrying this little life, and it took two months to slowly get acquainted with it.
The dynasty in which he is now living has never appeared in history.
Now it is the big dry, the big beam plus the gold of the north, and the three parts of the world.
The Great Cadre in which he is located is the weakest of the three countries.
Su Mu stubbornly carried the boiling grievances of the people, relying on his knowledge from modern society and trading with the two counties next door, which finally stabilized the situation.
Two years later, Empress Xiao Xuanji ascended the throne.
The strong hand cleaned up the court, negotiated with Liang and Jin, and gave up many interests, which stabilized the great cadres.
Gradually, Su Mu was able to gain a firm foothold, and after 5 years, Wu'an County finally had a look.
Not only did the land directly double, but agriculture, Fengyue venues, casinos, and major commercial houses scrambled to emerge and began to flourish.
After years of trade with the two counties next door, the population has reached tens of thousands.
Wu'an County has also developed from a chaotic situation where even the yacha can kill people, to the fact that the people are happy and happy, and it has become a happy and peaceful place.
Su Mu's life is also very comfortable now.
Now he doesn't care about the thoughts of the imperial court at all, it's better to forget about him and don't be promoted or transferred.
So he set up a rule that the merchants who cooperate with Wu'an County must keep secrets and not reveal the slightest rumor.
He has a large county order in Wu'an County, there is no shortage of fine clothes and food, money and women, and he can be described as prosperous, what is good about the outside world?
Just when Su Mu sighed and enjoyed the massage.
A powerful man dressed in an official robe and pinned to a knife strode in.
When he came to Su Mu's side, he saluted and said respectfully: "My lord, a few miles outside the county, there are two luxurious carriages coming, they must be either rich or expensive, should I go to investigate?" ”
"Inquiry?"
Su Mu slowly opened his eyes and frowned slightly.
"Zhou Ping, you kid is really a repeated, master, I told you not once or twice, don't do anything that can't be on the table!"
"We are officials, not the king of the mountain, and besides, this river and lake is not a fight!"
"I remember, you said it was a human sophistication!"
Su Mu was still counting, and Zhou Ping replied with a sigh.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was faced with Su Mu's shot and kicked him directly.
"I don't know it's a long memory!"
"Since they are either rich or expensive, then quickly invite them to our Wu'an County, have a chat about good wine, good food, and good food, and then let the silver in their hands be invested in our county."
"Why can't you learn?"
"Understood, understood."
Zhou Ping muttered and stood up and patted the dust off his body.
"My lord, the carriage didn't follow many people, especially the one on the back legs, there must be something good in it, if not...... I'm sneaking a look? ”
This......
Su Mu was directly speechless, it seems that his previous education has become a deaf ear again.
Really let this kid lead people to take a look? It's not just the treasures in the carriage, even the brocade clothes on these people, he has to let him see them all.
"Tell the brothers to cheer up and keep an eye on the master."
"If these people go to the county, they will even have to figure out where to eat and live for me, but don't be from the imperial court!" Su Mu said solemnly.
Now he doesn't worry about everything, he is only worried about the court sending people.
This empress Xiao Xuanji, that is by no means an idle person, his comfortable little life has not lasted long, and he really doesn't want people to disturb the situation.
"Understood!" Zhou Ping smiled and turned to leave.
……
Outside Wu'an County.
On the official road.
"Your Majesty...... Miss, in another hour, you will be able to go to Wu'an County, will the slave send someone to investigate first? Don't mess around! ”
In a luxurious carriage, the maid asked in a low voice with a worried face.
Opposite her was a woman with a cold face and a dusty temperament.
It's the Great Dry Empress Xiao Xuanji!
Although she is an empress, she does not have a trace of arrogance, and she is full of a comfortable and calm atmosphere.
Since Xiao Xuanji stabilized and stabilized, although there has been a temporary stability, the country has also begun to move forward steadily.
However, the situation of a large cadre and a weak situation cannot be improved in a short period of time.
If she wants to turn around her weaknesses, she doesn't just need to move forward.
The three princes who are also very harsh on education, they all need to go out of the palace and inspect various states, counties and counties.
When I return to the capital, I have to come up with my own evaluation and solutions.
But in fact, these are Xiao Xuanji's investigation and experience of them.
"No need, Ruri." Xiao Xuanji waved her hand lightly.
"Wu'an County is originally very desolate, the people's lives are not good, what we need to worry about most is not my safety ......"
The maid who knew the empress's temper sighed lightly and no longer demanded.
But suddenly, the carriage of the day before yesterday suddenly stopped.
I only heard the groom, who was very shocked and shouted: "Miss, come down and have a look!" ”
Hearing the groom's shout, the maid suddenly became nervous, and quickly stopped Xiao Xuanji, who wanted to get out of the car.
"Miss, the slave maid will go down and check it out first."
With that, the maid got out of the carriage first.
Soon......
The maid also almost exclaimed, and shouted at the carriage in great surprise: "Miss, come down quickly, I am not mistaken!" ”
Xiao Xuanji: ?
Stepping out of the carriage, Xiao Xuanji was stunned for a moment.
In front of her, there was a grayish-brown, very wide road that led to the front, paved so far that the border could not be seen at a glance.
Her eyes widened, and she looked behind her again in disbelief.
It is completely different from the official road behind which is bumpy and dirt roads!
Two paths, contrasts!
