Jiang Yizhou got off duty and walked towards his mansion dragging his tired body.

He told his deputy, "I must go to the governor's office tomorrow."

He wanted to protest that there was too much work assigned to him!As a result, he hasn't been able to sleep well recently, his hair is falling out, his eyes are red and bloodshot, the bags under his eyes are getting more and more obvious, and the most important thing is the dark circles under his eyes!

These dark circles are about to catch up with the iron-eating beast!

This greatly affects his ability to find a wife.

The deputy did not dare to speak at all. He knew that Mr. Jiang would be filled with resentment.

Regardless of whether the deputy said anything, Jiang Yizhou had made up his mind anyway. He had to make a trip to see if he could turn down some work. If that didn't work, he could ask the governor to send him more manpower.

When they returned, they found the housekeeper busy.

The housekeeper told him, "These are the annual gifts given by Pingzhou Prefecture this year."

"What's there?" Jiang Yizhou sat down and said weakly.

Butler: He saw it, and it was all for brain-filling purposes.

"This is sesame paste. I heard that the main ingredient is sesame, and walnuts and other nuts are added and ground into powder. The people at the government office have told you to have a bowl of it every day to nourish your brain."

"The governor asked us to tell you, if you insist on eating this black sesame paste, your hair will grow."

Jiang Yizhou touched his hair and insisted on eating. The black sesame paste smelled quite fragrant.

"By the way, I also gave you a recipe for gastrodia and pig brain soup. We will stew it for you to drink from time to time," the housekeeper said again.

Are you trying to make up for him?Jiang Yizhou thought to himself that after all this trouble, it would be better to reduce his workload directly.

However, he knew this was impossible...

"As for your previous protest about the clearing of the eyes and the heavy dark circles, the governor's office has also said that the No. [-] Institute of Technology has already developed an eye cream to remove dark circles. It is safe for you to apply it and there will be no dark circles. There is also hair growth for long hair. The liquid can make your hair thicker and will not affect your search for a wife." The housekeeper closed his eyes and repeated what the visitor from the Governor's Mansion just said.

Jiang Yizhou was stunned for a moment after hearing this, so did you mean to let him work peacefully and not make trouble?

"Mr. Jiang, will you go to the governor's office tomorrow?" the deputy asked in a low voice.

"Where are you going!" The guy who didn't even wink!

So, the next day, Jiang Yizhou went on duty honestly.

Fortunately, I will be on annual leave in two days.

After the holiday, he can take a good rest.

Today Jiang Yizhou is still working with an expressionless face.

Guo Chong waited in line for a while, and soon it was his turn to register.

Guo Chong's eyes fell on the silt under his eyes, and he thought, Pingzhou is so busy?

"Name?"

"My surname is Guo."

"Nation?"

"Handan people."

"Good at what?"

"I am a scholar and literati..." Guo Chong briefly introduced himself.

During this period, Jiang Yizhou raised his eyes and glanced at him.

Guo Chong's eyes flashed and he asked, "Is there any job suitable for me?"

Jiang Yizhou took a sip of the tea next to him and said, "Mr. Guo has just arrived in Changli, right? Why not rest for two days and then think about work?"

"also."

"Does Mr. Guo have a place to stay?"

Guo Chong shook his head, "I haven't had time to check into the inn yet."

"In this way, our Pingzhou government office has prepared a place to stay for talented people who come to Pingzhou. If Mr. Guo doesn't mind, you can live there."

Guo Chong raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay."

Jiang Yizhou arranged for a small official to take him there.

Guo Chong found that the Pingzhou government had arranged for him to live in a bungalow.

There are rows of bungalows in a zigzag structure, and he lives in one of them.

After opening the door and entering, I found that the room was quite spacious. The whole room was partitioned by bookshelves. There were tables and chairs on one side of the outer room for entertaining guests; desks and chairs were placed on the other side to meet the needs of scholars for reading and writing.

As soon as they arrived, someone brought hot water.

The young official said, "Mr. Guo, you can rest on the chair first and drink some hot water. Someone will burn the kang later, and the room will be warm. Later someone will bring you bedding and some water." Toiletries. You can have dinner in the front, which is the second room you just entered. If you need convenience, there is a toilet behind the door..."

"Is Pingzhou so kind to every outsider?" Guo Chong couldn't help but ask.

"That's not true." The little official said in his heart. So far, only a handful of people have moved in.

The clerk was not a talkative person. After seeing that the people were settled properly, he left and went back to work.

Later, Guo Chong went to the second room to have dinner.The rice is bean rice, which is steamed very soft, and the dishes are a leek and tofu dish, and a seaweed and egg drop soup.

The cook there told him that he had just arrived, and this meal was a welcome break for him, so he should eat well, as he might not have such good meals in the future, and asked him not to be offended.

It was really rare for him to see green leeks at this time.

Seeing him like this, the cook and others started chatting with him.

Guo Chong had heard before that vegetables could be grown in Pingzhou in winter. He knew that some hot spring villages could grow vegetables in winter, but until civilians in Pingzhou could grow vegetables, no one thought of other methods. You can grow vegetables in winter even if you need hot springs.

"You can grow vegetables in a house with a fire bed. Is this a way to make money? Can you tell it everywhere?" Guo Chong asked.

The cook and others didn't take it seriously, "Hey, what's the point? Many people know about this method, and it's not a secret. Just spread the word. Our governor said that it would be best if all the people in the world know about it. "And whether the vegetables are grown well or not is not only related to the kang.

Guo Chong said in his heart, great!

After dinner, Guo Chong went to the latrine to solve three urgent problems. The latrine was quite clean. It was said that someone washed it regularly every day.

When he returned to the house, the kang in the house was indeed burning.

Guo Chong had already determined that Pingzhou would provide accommodation for talented people.

You say how good the food is, but it's just a simple meal.It's not necessarily a good place to live, just a place to protect yourself from the wind and rain. It's similar to an ordinary inn, but quieter than an inn.

This place is prepared for those who are talented but have not yet decided to invest in Pingzhou.There is no need for generous treatment, but there are basic guarantees.

It's interesting, a bit like Lord Mengchang raising three thousand guests.

As the saying goes, you can see the whole picture by looking at a small part.

Guo Chong saw at this time that Pingzhou's economic strength was indeed not low.

If you think about it further, Pingzhou has already had the conditions for rebellion.But the Qin and Lu families had been patient, and finally found a chance for them.

No, this opportunity may have been created by themselves.

He doesn't believe in coincidences. Any coincidence that others see as a matter of course is most likely someone's intention.

Guo Chong believed his inference, and he was more optimistic about Pingzhou.

Guo Chong's guess was correct. This series of actions of the Qin and Lu families was just Lu Songli following the strategic policy of "accumulating grain widely, building walls high, and slowly becoming king".
