"Princess!"
Magistrate Xun stood up with a frown and asked, "Which princess?"
"Princess Mingda and Princess Changyu, the carriages have entered the main street just now, and they should be arriving soon."
County magistrate Xun broke out in a cold sweat, and he had already thought a lot in his mind. Did Zhou Man bring it
By the way, I heard that she has a very good relationship with the two princesses, and when Princess Changyu got married, she even went to see her off.
What is she going to do
Why did you find the princess
County magistrate Xun hurriedly took people out to greet her, and when he remembered it halfway, he immediately turned his head and told people, "Go to the backyard and tell Madam, let her hurry up to meet the princess."
When the princess came, of course she couldn't meet her in the front office, it was too blunt, so it was better to welcome her in the backyard, where refreshments and so on would be convenient.
Regardless of the fact that Liyang County is close to the capital, it is very difficult for the magistrate of Xun County to see these high-ranking officials, because one county is in charge of the affairs of another county and cannot leapfrog his superiors. His superior is the governor of Yongzhou.
And Liyang is not particularly rich in Yongzhou, of course, it is not poor.
There are no lower counties in Yongzhou, all are Zhongxian and Shangxian, and Liyang belongs to Zhongxian. It is obviously very close to Wannian County, one of the Guoxian counties in the capital, so it cannot develop.
All because there were wolves before and tigers behind.
Wannian County wanted to grab land from him, and Guo County and Xianyang County in Yongzhou also wanted to grab land from him. The two counties wanted to divide Liyang County on the spot. God knows how difficult it is for him to survive in the cracks.
Fortunately, if Yongzhou wants to maintain its style, it does not want to reduce the number of counties, and Xianyang County is already big enough to swallow the entire Liyang County.
Then it will be divided with Wannian County, and it is very likely that it will be divided with Chang'an County.
And these two counties belong to the Jingzhao Mansion, Yongzhou is definitely not willing to do so, so he can survive under the influence of the three parties.
Good things can happen without him, and bad things can always happen to him.
He has never met the princess before, and he doesn't know why Zhou Man invited such an ancestor over here. Why don't you come here to discuss things
As an official in the same dynasty, could he still embarrass her
What's more, your official position is higher than mine, and you are nobler than me. What kind of backing do you have
The county magistrate Xun thought that the princesses were here to support the scene. In order not to cause misunderstandings, he raised a big smile and looked at the three girls who were coming towards him when he arrived at the gate.
His eyes flicked among the three, and finally moved to the one on the far right, and called out tentatively, "Master Zhou?"
correct answer!
Man Bao smiled and got down from his horse to salute County Magistrate Xun, "Magistrate Xun is very polite, let me introduce you. This is Princess Mingda, and this one is Princess Changyu."
The magistrate of Xun County smiled and saluted, saying, "I don't know if the princesses are coming, the officials are far away to welcome them. Why didn't Mr. Zhou tell the officials in advance? The officials should be prepared."
Man Bao waved his hand indifferently and said, "We're going to go for an outing after we've finished talking, so it's better not to bother County Magistrate Xun too much."
County Magistrate Xun: "... outing?"
"Yeah, the spring is just right. Didn't magistrate Xun go for an outing this year?"
Coincidentally, he just went with his family yesterday, but can't you let me know in advance if you want to come to Liyang for an outing
It's really scary.
It’s fine if it’s not for him, County Magistrate Xun smiled more genuinely, and said with a sideways smile, “Princesses please go inside first, and the servants have someone prepare some refreshments.”
Mrs. Xun also rushed over from the backyard and invited them to have tea and talk in the backyard of the county government.
Man Bao didn't drag his feet, and directly talked about the road construction, "It's not the farming season yet. At this time, the labor force is called, and the road is divided into three sections. It will be repaired soon. When the spring rush is over, the new city will also be lively. Now, when the time comes, the people in Liyang County will be much closer to Yongzhou."
Not only is it much closer, the royal manor is directly between Liyang County and Yongzhou City. More than half of this Huangzhuang belongs to Xianyang, Guo County, Yongzhou, and a small part belongs to their Liyang. It is the property of the emperor's family, and basically no one can control it.
Therefore, from Liyang to Yongzhou City, you need to bypass Huangzhuang, but there are two mountains at the end of Huangzhuang. Oh, the other side of the mountain is Zhou Man's job field in Pu Village, which means they are going to Yongzhou The city still needs to go around there to get to Yongzhou City.
After advancing through the gate of Yongzhou City, you can only reach the new city after crossing half of the city, but now, open a straight road from the middle of Huangzhuang...
County magistrate Xun didn't expect such a good thing to happen, so he couldn't help but look at Mingda, "But this land for road construction..."
Mingda put down his teacup with a smile and said: "I have sent a message to the manager of Huangzhuang that there is already a small dirt road there for the people and carriages in Huangzhuang, and we will build that road now so that anyone can pass by in the future. That road leads to Xincheng."
Xun County Magistrate immediately got up and saluted Mingda, "Princess is very kind."
Mingda smiled and said, "This suggestion was made by Zhou Man, if you want to thank her, thank her."
Man Bao smiled and said: "No, no, thank you, you have paid a lot this time."
Not only will it be necessary to manually build a third of the road, but also a piece of land will be split along the road to widen the road, but she is also sure that Mingda will be the one who will benefit the most in the future.
After all, the road is all her fields, and the end is still her shop.
Xun County Magistrate has quickly thought about it. This can not only connect the ancient city of Yueyang, which is Zhouman's fiefdom, but also connect the county town and new city of Liyang County. If you go further southwest, it will be...
Xun County Magistrate couldn't stop looking at Zhou Man.
Man Bao was drinking tea and didn't see it. She moistened her mouth and continued the topic: "In fact, it's best to make an appointment with Guo County Magistrate of Wannian County. If Guo County Magistrate is willing to undertake a journey, then Liyang The county seat, the new city and the capital are completely connected."
The road from her fief to the east gate of the capital is not easy to walk, it's just a section, it's a pity not to repair it.
County magistrate Xun almost punched his fist in the palm of his hand and called him a confidant, but he held back and nodded solemnly, "Yes, yes, we need to have a good talk with County magistrate Guo about this matter."
Man Bao looked at him, and he happened to look up at Zhou Man expectantly.
The two of them met their eyes and were a little stunned.
Man Bao tilted his head and said, "This is county affairs. The Xun County Magistrate and Guo County Magistrate should be very talkative."
But our relationship is not good, and we almost became enemies who seized the land!
Of course Xun County Magistrate couldn't tell Zhou Man this, he said with a face of embarrassment: "Master Zhou also knows that the rank of the subordinate is inferior, and there is a distance between Liyang County and Wannian County, so it is not very talkative, but it is Mr. Guo County Magistrate is an official in the same dynasty, and I heard that he sits on the left and right, maybe your lord has some friendship with Guo lord?"
Man Bao and Guo County Magistrate really have some friendship. After all, when she dozed off, he had reminded her several times in a friendly manner.
Man Bao thought about it, maybe he should invite Guo magistrate to have a meal after the court, and thank you
but…
Man Bao looked at County Magistrate Xun and said, "I can recommend County Magistrate Xun and County Magistrate Guo."
County Magistrate Xun:…
Naturally, it is best to discuss this kind of county affairs between the county magistrate and the county magistrate.
