The master diligently took himself to the back house, because the master took himself familiar with the back house on the grounds of recommendation.

In the state of Chu, the county order belonged to the seven-grade sesame official, and he did not have his own mansion, so he could only live in the back house of the public court.

The two walked slowly inward, and the master diligently led the way in front.

"Master Fang, what is the usual life of the people of our Fengqi County?"

Seeing that his master asked this, the master couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, don't hide it, master, our Fengqi County is located in a remote area, located on the border of Qi State, and is often harassed by small forces of Qi State, and there are bandits on the nearby mountains who often go down the mountain to bully the people of Fengqi County."

Su Xiu pondered for a while.

"Then what do the people of Fengqi County rely on?"

"My lord, our Fengqi County can only rely on some local materials and Qi merchants to buy some daily necessities."

There was a twinkle in my eyes.

"Merchant, you say?"

"Yes, my lord, because we are located on the border of Qi State, our Fengqi County can be regarded as one of the necessary roads for merchants to enter my Chu State."

As the two stopped and talked, they slowly walked to the depths of the inner house.

"Here you are, sir, this is your bedroom."

As he spoke, the master pushed open the door with both hands.

Squeak.

Pushing open the door, the house is quite tidy and there is no smell.

A bed, a table, two stools are lined up on either side of the table, a cabinet, and a bronze mirror is placed on one side of the cabinet.

Su Xiu looked around the room and looked at it, and it was quite clean.

"This house, someone cleans it up regularly?"

"Yes, my lord, there is a maid who comes to clean it regularly, and if you need other people, I will find it for you."

"No, no need, I like to be quiet, you go down first, I'll stay by myself for a while."

I dealt with my master casually, and weighed the pros and cons of Fengqi County in my mind.

In such a small county of a little more than 100 miles, the land is barren, rainy, the roads are muddy, and there are always floods.

Even Su Xiu, who has thousands of years of wisdom, has a headache.

Su Xiu lay on the elm bed, closed his eyes, and quietly thought about this.

The land in Fengqi County is barren, and it is certainly impractical to rely on farming, so it can only be traded, and if it is trade, it is necessary to repair the roads, and before the roads are built, they must first prevent floods.

Otherwise, the road on my side has just been halfway built, and as soon as the flood occurs, I will be busy in vain.

With the general idea in mind, I immediately got up and called the master and ordered him to mobilize the villagers.

"Master, you lead ten officials to mobilize the villagers to dredge the river in the middle and lower reaches of the river, improve the flood drainage facilities in the low-lying areas of the county, and prepare for the next flood."

I led the remaining forty men to build the road.

One of the things that happened to pave the road was to select materials, and I took these forty people to pick up all kinds of stones along the way.

The place where it passed was like a locust passing through the border, and there was no stone left.

Finally, I passed by a mine and bought a pile of iron ore with the money I had from selling my horses.

The servants under him all thought that Su Xiu was crazy.

"I said, what's the matter with our master, taking us to pick up stones along the way."

"Who knows, our master still used the money from the sale of horses to buy these broken stones, it's really a problem with his brain."

Su Xiu knew it in his heart, listened to these discussions, and explained, anyway, they couldn't understand it.

Whenever he returned to the mansion, Su Xiu called the head of the team and instructed: "Team leader, you find two people to mix our stones, sand and water together, and then spread them on the street." ”

Ignoring the different eyes of the servant, he turned around and went back to sleep.

……

For more than half a month, a spacious avenue was built, and all of Fengqi County were amazed by the road paved by their own county order.

"Wow, this main street is so hard to step on, now we don't have to worry about flooding."

"Yes, yes, our Fengqi County used to have muddy roads on the side of the rain in previous years, and many businessmen didn't like to beat us, unless they were forced to do so, now it's okay!"

They knew that these stones and sand were mixed together, that is, cement materials, of course, they didn't say, this was from the technology and hard work of the previous life.

The people's praise also made Su Xiu deeply feel that it is the responsibility of the official to benefit the people.

"My lord, this paving material you use is really amazing! The villain is really unheard of, unseen. ”

Su Xiu ignored his master's sycophants, but asked inexplicably: "You say, what is the fun of living in the world?" ”

When the master was asked by this sentence, the second monk was at a loss.

What does the prefectural decree mean?

Ponder for a moment.

"Probably, it's nothing more than four words, wine, wealth, and wealth."

The corners of my mouth rose slightly, and I was secretly thinking about my next step.

"You use the rest of the materials to build a house, and this house has three floors. The third floor has eighteen rooms. ”

"Uh... This. The master scratched in embarrassment.

"Lord County Commander, I can't afford to pay the workers' wages, this tax and grain account have always been under the jurisdiction of the county."

"Go and ask him, what, didn't he get enough of the last meal?" Su Xiu raised his eyebrows.

"It's not, it's just that the county lieutenant is on duty today, and he is serving wine at the county Cheng's house as a guest......."

Su Xiu understood that this was the thug coming back.

This county lieutenant and the county lieutenant can be described as a raccoon dog, and the two have always been fighting for the tiger in Fengqi County.

One person is in the house, and the other person is outside, and the two of them together can be regarded as a complete snake on the ground.

The last time it was easy to repair the county cheng's class, it was also because the county lieutenant was on duty and went out to investigate the situation, otherwise the process of repairing the county cheng would not be easy.

Today, the county is clearly complaining about the county lieutenant and trying to find the account.

A small number of the county lieutenants of my Chu State were born in the army, and they were old or wounded veterans.

And people like Fengqi County belong to the majority, they are all local ruffians and gangsters, relying on some of their own authority in the local area, and the county directly accepts their fate.

This county lieutenant is actually what we often call a shop.

So these two people are grasshoppers on a rope.

Su Xiu turned around expressionlessly and walked towards the county Cheng's house.

After a while, they arrived at the door of the county government.

I only heard the voices of the two people slowly coming from inside the courtyard.

"Brother Xian, you want to avenge your brother, this county order in office is really a miscellaneous, and he actually beat his brother thirty boards!"

The county man was holding his ass and complaining with a wine glass, looking very funny.

"Brother, don't worry, tomorrow, I will have this evil breath for my brother, Lao Tzu is not powerful, he doesn't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has!"

The county lieutenant is also on top of two or two wines, and the crazy words are said by the way.

And just as the two were talking, the door, Peng's voice, was kicked open.

Then came a magnetic sound.

"Let me see, how many eyes does Lord Ma have?"
