Not far from Cuizhu Village, Zhuang Zhong and his party saw a familiar tall figure on the way.
Zhuang Zhong smiled unconsciously, "Why are you here?"
Feng Huan's horse riding was parallel to Zhuang Zhong's, and Zhuang Zhong was able to ride a horse independently at this time. Although he had been studying for a long time, Feng Huan did not break his promise. It’s just that it’s uncomfortable after a long time, so I spend most of the time in the carriage, and I can also do some preparations for entering the city.
"What? Not welcome?"
"How can it be, it's just that you must be busy when you first arrived here, so you didn't think about it."
"If you are busy, you have to come and see." Feng Huan looked serious.
He laughed solemnly, and the joy in his heart was obvious besides being nasty. When something is said, there will be many different feelings.
But after all, the two are not romantic people, and the relationship is just a little different from before, so it didn't take long for them to get involved in business.
"In this way, Mei County is more complicated than what we knew before. The so-called mountains are high and the emperor is far away. In the past, this place was not under the direct management of the imperial court. It is not surprising that such a thing will happen. It is not only about Mei County, I am afraid that Yunzhou will not This is the case in a few places, so the people have been living in dire straits for so many years. I’m not going to lie to you, Meixian County is actually pretty good, and there are still some officials who are discharged from the imperial court in other places who either join forces or become puppets, and some even die suddenly. perish." If he hadn't wanted to garrison here, he would never have allowed Zhuang Zhong to come here alone. According to solemn integrity, it is very likely that there will be no bones left in the end.
Solemn suddenly realized, "No wonder you arranged for me to go to Mei County, because you also wanted to protect me."
Feng Huan didn't deny it, but he didn't show off because of it, he just said: "With me here, you don't need to be afraid, just let go and do it. The emperor sent me to Yunzhou for this purpose, not only You also sent other people to scatter everywhere, but it was a little later than you. Yunzhou has been left alone for so many years, and now it's time to take it seriously."
It was not smooth for Emperor Qianxing to ascend the throne at first, and it took a lot of time and energy to clear the obstacles. At that time, the political power was still unstable, so the bone of Yunzhou has not been completely gnawed down. After so many years, Yunzhou has become more and more outrageous, and Emperor Qianxing is going to be ruthless this time.
"I will do my best. If the cancer in Mei County is not removed, the people here will never have a good life!" Zhuang Zhong said bitterly. Traveling during these days made him feel more deeply. Although he had been miserable in disasters before, it was a natural disaster, but he didn't feel angry. But here, it is obvious that the land here is rich and the policy is quite loose, but the common people here are not clothed, and they can't even eat enough. Everything is artificial, which is really disgusting.
Seeing him, Feng Huan smiled and said: "It's good to be determined, but you don't have to work too hard. You have to remember what you are better at, and don't let it go to waste. Many things can be entrusted to Master Tong, and you don't need to do everything yourself. "
There are many things that the county magistrate is unlikely to be in charge of, such as persuading farmers and mulberry classes, settling prison lawsuits, banning Deze, household registration, taxes, money, grain, credit, even those who have filial piety and righteousness in the countryside. , to positive atmosphere. Because there are less than 10,000 households, there is no county magistrate to assist, and the main officials in the county are only the magistrate and the master. The county lieutenant is that cancerous He Xing, and according to the data, the master Bo is also a slippery character. It's good that these people don't hinder him, let alone assist him.
"I understand that knowing people and making good use of them is what a manager should do."
Feng Huan nodded, knowing that although Zhuang Zhong was young, he did things calmly, so he didn't give any further instructions. After all, there are quite a few of his own people around him, and he will know immediately when something goes wrong, and will not let him be wronged.
"It's already late today, so don't rush into the city, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Zhuang Zhong was a little embarrassed, "But I have already agreed with my sister to go back to the county tonight. She has been traveling with me for the past few days, and she encountered centipedes while sleeping in the middle of the night. She has not had a good rest."
Fang Yingying, who was originally hiding in the carriage, opened the curtain and said, "Don't worry about me, I've survived so many days, and I'm not afraid of one more night."
Zhuang Zhong hesitated, "Then where do we live? We can't enter the barracks, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for my sister to be a woman."
Feng Huan smiled slightly, "I've already prepared the house. It's near the barracks, and there are maids waiting there. It's convenient for you to come here in the future. Now it's time to find out the way."
Zhuang Zhong was suspicious, "Why is there a house next to the barracks?"
The military is important, and the nearest village is more than ten miles away.
Feng Huan didn't hide it, and proudly said: "I ordered someone to prepare it before, so that it will be very convenient for you to go to my place and I to go to yours. After all, I don't have much free time, so I don't have to make preparations." .”
Zhuang Zhong stopped, squinted and said, "What the hell are you thinking!"
Feng Huan put his arms around Zhuang Zhong's shoulders, "I want to get close to you."
Zhuang Zhong pushed, staggered away from him, and rode alone, "Get lost."
Fang Yingying gave an exaggerated 'wow' when she saw the mansion in front of her, like a woman who had never seen the world.
The mansion is actually not very big, but a quadrangle courtyard with two entrances. But in such a barren place, it is surprising that such a beautiful and solid house stands. The steps and scenes inside are not as luxurious as those houses in the capital, but they are extremely delicate and unique. It also matches the local landform and makes it very elegant. There is also a tall tower that overlooks all directions.
"It doesn't look like this house has been built for long, so it's really well prepared." Fang Yingying looked at Feng Huan in confusion.
Feng Huan looked calm, didn't think there was anything wrong, and even said bluntly: "My house is just for Xiao Zhong."
Fang Yingying snorted, "I am also your ex-fiancee after all, can you pay attention to my feelings?"
Zhuang Zhong was too lazy to listen to what they said, so he must be the one who was ridiculed in the end, so he looked around by himself.
Feng Huan also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Fang Yingying, Feng Huan frowned, "What are you doing?"
Fang Yingying nodded in the solemn direction, "Are you serious?"
"inevitable."
"Regular wife? Concubine room?"
"I am the only one in my life."
Fang Yingying snorted coldly, "You men really have a way of talking about love."
Feng Huan rarely smiled at Fang Yingying, "I know what you are worried about, and no one will be able to frame me after three years."
"Remember what you said, I only have one relative now, don't let him down." Fang Yingying said seriously.
Feng Huan smiled, "I'm still afraid that he will leave me. Zhuang Zhong is a man, not a bird in a cage. He won't stay in the back house like a woman, only guarding one person. The outside world is too big, how can I hold him if I am not sincere?" ?”
Fang Yingying took a deep breath and rubbed her teeth, "Why do you feel so sore, hey, really, what the hell am I worrying about. One is my ex-fiancé and the other is my younger brother. I should think about breaking up! Why am I trying so hard here, if it spreads out, people will laugh at me to death, and the last thing I should worry about is me!"
Fang Yingying patted herself on the head, turned and left, "I might as well make a facial mask, the recipe my brother told me before is quite useful."
"Hey."
Fang Yingying stopped, "You don't want me, do you? Let me tell you, don't think about hugging my siblings."
It was rare for Feng Huan not to get angry, "I will give you a big gift when you marry in the future, if anyone dares to betray you, Xiao Zhong and I will never forgive him."
The corners of Fang Yingying's mouth curled up, and she said as she walked, "With your words, I feel relieved."
Zhuang Zhong walked over at this time, looking at Fang Yingying's back, "I hope she can find a good person in the future"
Most women hope to have a good belonging, especially in this world. It's too difficult to be alone, Fang Yingying is such a good person that she deserves to be pampered by a good man.
Feng Huan just nodded and didn't say much, "Let's go and see our house."
"Wait, what is our house? I didn't agree."
Feng Huan took it for granted, "Anyway, you will be my person in the future, and it will be the same sooner or later? Well, I promise not to touch you, but you have to be together to understand better, right? We won't have much time to get together in the future. "
Zhuang Zhong was finally persuaded by Feng Huan, and he was really used to Feng Huan's hug, so he didn't refuse. Feng Huan did what he said, he didn't touch him at night, he really only had a hug, not even a kiss.
On the second day, Feng Huan left early in the morning, and the affairs of the barracks were not much smoother than outside. Although the cavalry was shocked, it turned out that there were many ruffians in the army stationed here. Feng Huan has been busy with this matter during this time. Morning exercise is required, and he, a general, must come to establish his prestige.
Zhuang Zhong didn't wait for her, and left after breakfast.
When Zhuang Zhong came to the county government office, there was no one there. His subordinates knocked on the door for a long time before an old man came out to answer the door.
"Why is there no one for so long?!" the guard said angrily.
The old man was a little deaf, and he was always afraid that others would not hear him, so the great god shouted, "What?! There is no one inside, everyone is out."
Zhuang Zhong frowned slightly, and the guard said displeasedly, "Where did you go?"
After repeating it several times, the old man heard clearly, "I'm going to investigate the case, no one is there, come back tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, the old man closed the gate of the county government office, shutting Zhuang Zhong and his party out.
Smiling solemnly, "This is a show of power."
Fang Yingying also got down from the carriage, "This County Captain He is really bold. The news of your coming to Mei County has been widely spread, and he must know about it. But today, there is no one to lock you out. I haven't I heard that there is no such thing as no one in the county government office! Fortunately, I didn’t come here last night, otherwise I’m afraid I don’t know when I will be able to move in.”
"Since there is no one here, why don't we go for a walk in this capital, I'm afraid we will have to find an inn to stay in today. Didn't my sister say that she wants to find a storefront to do business, so I just took a look at it."
"Also."
Fang Yingying still wants to find a place to live. She and Zhuang Zhong are not siblings after all, so it's better to avoid suspicion. It would be better if the facade is adjacent to the house. Meixian is not big, but it has all the internal organs. The most interesting thing is that all the inns are full.
Is this to make the new county magistrate sleep on the street on the first night
