Datang: My apprentice is Princess Changle

Chapter 723
Chapter 754
If it had to be said, the master of his family was from a noble family, so it was still a disadvantage.

But it's hard for the master to say this to his master.

No matter how much the master dislikes his family, he is actually very proud of his family.

In this case, if he said something, the master would be annoyed if he didn't say anything.

The county magistrate was silent for a while after hearing what the master said, and said: "You are right, I will think about the road construction."

Seeing that the county magistrate listened to it, the master finally felt relieved.

Not long after, he took a letter with him and went to Youzhou.

It took two days to go back and forth by water. On the way, the boat he was on met a merchant ship from Youzhou.

Looking at the Youzhou merchant ship, which was at least twice as big as theirs, and even the sailors on the deck were powerful, the master couldn't help but sigh: "It's really incredible, how many years has passed? Youzhou The goods are basically sold all over the Tang Dynasty, such ability, such luck, are enviable!"

The boss of his ship knew the master and was a relative of the county government leader. This time he sailed to send the master to Youzhou, which was considered to be the leader's attempt to curry favor with the master.

The boss of the boat was standing next to the master at the moment. Hearing what the master said, he couldn't help but said: "Yes! In the past, people who passed by this river were all on tenterhooks. How many years has it been? You can't even see them on the road. It’s water bandits! Not to mention the merchant ships coming and going now, not to mention those who travel by land, but also those who travel by water. How many merchant ships don’t pass by on any day? Youzhou is really different from what it used to be!”

When the master heard this, he felt strange in his heart.

He is envious of the development of Youzhou, but also a little depressed about the county where his master is located. It is likely that there will never be such a change.

Although a county cannot be compared with a state, the population of the county itself is not that large!If we really want to get rid of poverty, a county will become rich faster than a whole state!
After all, the place is so big and the population is so large. Perhaps the existence of one or two large factories can drive the entire county to take off!
After another hour, the weather was not very good, and it looked like it was going to rain. Anyway, they didn't say that they had to go back and forth in two days. A few more days wouldn't be a problem, so the ship boss came directly. The master said to the master: "Sir, it looks like it's going to rain. A little further on, there's a small dock in Youzhou. Why don't we take a rest on the dock and wait for the rain to stop before leaving?"

Their boat is not big, and the weather has been cold recently, but occasionally it rains heavily. In this case, if there is heavy rain again, it is cold and easy to capsize, so it is better to be careful.

After all, this section of the waterway is not that easy to navigate. Not long ago, a ship capsized in a stormy day. Although no lives were lost, why bother to do it like this?

Master thought about it and thought it would be good to hide from the rain.

As the boss of the boat guessed, although he came out this time for official business, he and the county magistrate have a master-servant relationship, and they have a good relationship in private. There is no strict time limit for coming out this time, and it doesn't matter if you go back a few days later.

In this case, safety is naturally more important.

However, is there a small pier nearby?

As he thought about it, he asked.

The boss of the ship snorted: "It's been more than a year since it was newly built. In fact, I don't know if there is one in front. If you go a little further, there will be more! This is not only for the resupply of passing ships, but also for the people nearby. A little extra livelihood. Let me tell you, the most feared thing is that you will not be able to supply supplies along the way. In case of rainy days, you can only stay on the boat when you reach the shore. Life will be difficult. Like Youzhou This way here, there is a supply every other way, and it is very considerate, which is really rare! Not to mention, this supply is all done by the surrounding people and supervised by the government, but the money and benefits are all the people. Keep it for yourself, such benevolence and righteousness are rare!"

The guy on the side listened and echoed.

When the master heard this, his mood became more and more complicated.

The county where his master is located is naturally not next to the canal, but isn't this the same reasoning on the official road?

Isn't it the same for other roads in the country?

But even if the master of his family did this for officials not seeking money, it is impossible to think about the people everywhere, let alone do this for some businessmen.

Do the officials in Youzhou do things like this?

If the officials in Youzhou do things like this, it makes him understand why other places are not as good as Youzhou.

Soon, we rested on the small pier in front of us. As the boss of the boat said, the service here is very attentive and the food and drink are not expensive. There is hot water to drink, hot meals to eat, clean water, and clean food. Towels and a clean private room for a short nap.

After being on the road again, Master also gained a new understanding of Youzhou's service industry.

If the service industry in Youzhou is like the small wharf we just left, then Youzhou will be really terrible.Master, master, our place is really not as good as Youzhou!Needless to say our place, our hometown looks prosperous now, but in a few years, it won’t be ten years, and in five years, it will be left behind by Youzhou!
With such a tangled mood, their ship arrived at the dock outside Youzhou County after dark.

It was too late to enter the city at this time, so they rested for the night in the inn on this pier.

Early the next morning, the master brought a young servant into the county town. As soon as he entered the city, he and the young servant were fascinated by the bustling scene in front of them.

The boy couldn't help but said: "Sir, this place is more prosperous than our county over there!"

Yes, it is also a county town. The county town in Youzhou is much more prosperous than the state where their county is located!
They all have eyes and can see. There are more people here!There are not only men walking on the road, but also young women!

The shops look like they are doing good business.

And whether you are riding a car, riding a bicycle, or walking, from the perspective of energy and spirit, it is pretty good.

Even in other counties and cities, there must be poor people who are not living well, and most of the faces of the poor are gray and numb.

These are all things that can be seen from the outside, but here in Youzhou, very few people wear patches on their clothes. People walking on the road, even the elderly, seem to have sparkle in their eyes!

This place is better than he imagined!
The master looked at everything around him, and he was even more looking forward to meeting that Governor Zhang.

If they can attract investment from Youzhou and get on the same chariot as Youzhou, will their county be able to become as good as it is?
