Chapter 114

On the official roads of Huai County, luxurious carriages drove leisurely to the northwest.

In addition to the luxury, these carriages were accompanied by many attendants, and there were several large carts at the back.

"Oh, Her Royal Highness the princess has set up a banquet, and the banquet invites me and other county officials, and you must behave well in front of Your Highness, maybe you can be reused."

The officer thought, and lifted the curtain to look at the carts of large boxes at the back of the convoy.

Those boxes contained the official's treasures.

This official also wants to rely on this treasure to stand out in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Huaijun is the fief of Princess Zhaoyang, and the appointment of officials, taxes, and laws in the fief can all be appointed and formulated by Princess Zhaoyang herself.

Therefore, if these officials want to climb up, they must either leave Huai County, or they will curry favor with Her Royal Highness the Princess.

There is not only one person who has such thoughts.

Most of the officials in Huai County have such thoughts.

Therefore, when these officials met on the avenue, they were slightly embarrassed.

After greeting each other with an embarrassed smile, they didn't talk to each other, shrank in the carriage, and went back and forth to Cangxian.

In Huai County, most of the official roads are only dirt roads, at most the road surface is smoothed out, or paved with a layer of small stones.

However, when these officials came to the territory of Cangxian, they were stunned by the hard and smooth cement pavement.

Some officials even got out of the carriage.

Stepping on solid concrete roads, there is a feeling of unreality.

"How was this road built? It's so strong and flat. "Yu County Commander remembers that the last time I came to Cangxian, there was no such road.

"Lord Yu, remember that when I came here last year, there was no such way." The Feng County Order came towards the Yu County Order.

"It turned out to be Lord Zhang." After the county order of Yu County saw the county order of Feng County, he greeted him.

Yu County and Feng County were the richest counties in Huai County before.

The county orders of the two counties are classmates since childhood, so the superficial relationship is extremely good.

Otherwise, the county order of Feng County would not have supported Yu County to become the county government at that time, but unfortunately it did not fight for Cang County in the end.

Now seeing the cement road in Cangxian County, the two of them are smiling, but their faces are not very good-looking.

In the eyes of the two, this Cangxian County can afford to build such a road surface, it must be because it has become the county government and collected the wealth of each county.

"This Cangxian County is really soaring, ordinary people can't envy it." Yu County Commander sighed.

"Humph! It must be that Qin Yu, for the sake of face, built this road with a lot of money, which is really a waste of money! Feng County Commander said indignantly.

"Lord Zhang said cautiously, General Qin is the townside general of the king, and only His Royal Highness can say this about General Qin." Yu County Commander said with a smile.

Feng County Commander glanced at Yu County Order, although this Yu County County Commander said so, but he looked disdainful.

In the eyes of most local officials in Huai County, Qin Yu, the general of the town, is just a pawn of the court.

After all, this is the fief of His Royal Highness, and how can the chess pieces of the court afford to make waves.

Just when the county magistrate of Feng County and the county magistrate of Yu County were talking, several carriages came one after another, all of which were county magistrates and county lieutenant officials from various counties.

The county magistrate of Yu County and the county magistrate of Feng County, although they didn't look down on these people, they still politely went over to say hello.

After saying hello, everyone turned their attention to the cement road.

"This road, if it is built, I'm afraid there won't be a thousand taels, I'm afraid it won't be repaired."

"That's right, all the stones on this road are probably chiseled out little by little among the boulders."

"How big a stone does it take, you look at the road, and there is a gap in seven or eight steps."

"No matter how big the stone is, there are still a few mountains to dig up, but the money and manpower spent on opening the mountain, chiseling the stones, and transporting the stone slabs are not a small amount!"

A county magistrate snorted coldly: "I said, after the war, why didn't we allocate money to our counties to appease the people, it turned out that it was all used here!" ”

"That's right, this Qin Yu is too much! Although he is a general on the edge of the town, this Huai County is His Royal Highness's Huai County! ”

"This Qin Yu must have deceived His Highness! Taking advantage of this opportunity, I will definitely report Qin Yu's situation to His Highness! ”

"That's right, that's right! We must not let that Qin Yu harm Huaijun! ”

These officials didn't realize at this time that the most powerful person in Huai County now was Qin Yu.

This is mainly because in the previous war with the Chu State, it has always been claimed that Princess Chaoyang personally commanded the army, and Qin Yu was rarely mentioned.

Therefore, most people think that Princess Zhaoyang is still in power, but she was deceived by this Qin Yu.

Qin Yu never expected that he would be hated by county officials just because of a road.

Qin Yu didn't give money to the counties to appease the people, but gave it now, which would only accumulate people's hearts for these officials.

When the time comes, he will have to change the law and pull down the officials who oppose it, but I am afraid that he will encounter greater resistance.

The transfer of money from various counties has been prepared for a long time, and when we see clearly the attitude of the county officials this time, we will be able to transfer it.

It's just that no one knows Qin Yu's thoughts, anyway, in the eyes of the county officials, Qin Yu just swallowed the money and silver allocated to the counties.

The officials returned to the carriage and headed towards Cangxian in a rage.

When these officials arrived in Cangxian, they saw the prosperity of Cangxian, the cement roads in Cangxian, the green belts on the roadside, and the brand-new houses.

In addition to shock, there is also anger.

This Cangxian County has developed better than Yu County and Feng County, and it was an abandoned place before!

How much does it cost to grow from an abandoned place to this!

If this hadn't swallowed the money of the counties, the Cangxian County that was built would have been killed by the county officials, and they wouldn't believe it!

The county magistrate of Yu County had a gloomy face, regardless of whether Qin Yu had swallowed the money and silver allocated to the counties, but now that Cangxian County has developed like this, is His Royal Highness really deceived by Qin Yu?

Ever since he entered the city, the county magistrate of Yuxian County has felt a fluster, and he always feels that something big is about to happen.

At this time, I heard someone outside stop the carriage.

"It's adults from each prefecture, and your accommodation has already been arranged, so please come with us."

Lao Huang stopped the carriages with a smile, and a group of soldiers stood behind him.

The county order of Yu County is at the front, so when I opened the curtain, I saw Lao Huang at a glance.

"Thank you, but I'll just find a place to live on my own, so I won't bother Your Excellency." Yu County Commander refused.

The county magistrate of Yu County didn't want to be controlled, so he would rather find a place by himself than live in what Qin Yu had prepared.

However, Lao Huang smiled slightly, "This is arranged by Her Royal Highness the Princess, my lords, you can't refuse, otherwise you won't give Your Highness a child." ”

The county commander of Yuxian County stared at him, and then said with a smile: "Then it's hard for you to lead the way." ”

After retracting into the carriage, the county magistrate of Yuxian County's face was gloomy, and the uneasiness in his heart became even more intense.

At this time, I already regretted coming to Cangxian, I knew it earlier, so I said that I was sick and couldn't come, and I only sent some gifts to come, and I couldn't say anything about myself.

Now that I have come to Cangxian, it is like being controlled by someone, and I am simply uncomfortable.

The rest of the officials were very happy, because the accommodation Qin Yu arranged for them was good, at least much better than the inn.

After Lao Huang arranged these officials into the prepared place, he hurriedly went back to report to Qin Yu.
