He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

A few days after the caravan, Lu Yan did not let them leave immediately. Instead, she bought a lot of grain and a lot of medicine in Youzhou. She is about to enter Liaozhou, and her strategy for building tea sheds has to change. There are no neighboring villages to buy food for her.

After the matter was settled, the team entered Liaozhou. It was almost May and the weather was getting hotter. In winter, the desolate roads on both sides are covered with weeds and shade trees, and snakes, insects, rats, and ants also escape.

Lu Yan originally thought that traveling would be easier if it wasn't winter, but she didn't expect that every season has its own difficulties.

Entering Liaozhou, the original five-day journey of a tea shed was changed into a three-day journey of a rest stop. The rest stop was built in the same way as the previous unmanned post station, leaving no one here.

The young men from the caravan went to the woods to cut down trees and brought them back to build houses and sheds. Finally, they left food for each stop and locked the doors.

The progress was not so smooth. A young man went into the forest to cut down a tree and was bitten by something. He only discovered it after it became swollen. Yang Biaotou looked at it and made a decisive decision to cut the wound with a knife and squeeze out the poisonous blood.

But it had been too long since he was bitten, and the poison had spread a lot and couldn't be completely squeezed out. I had to make do with the medicine I bought, and that was all I could do.

The wound oozed pus the next day, became swollen and oozed yellow-brown water, exuding a chilling odor.

The young man also had mild symptoms of poisoning. He couldn't eat and had a headache and vomiting. After struggling like this for more than ten years, it slowly got better.

Lu Yan and the others were so frightened when they saw it that they all tied the cuffs and trouser legs of their clothes tightly, fearing that some poisonous insects would accidentally crawl up and bite them.

We passed by the inn on the way, but we couldn't go in to rest because only the prince and the Northern Xinjiang Army had the key, not them.

Lu Yan curled her lips and thought, It's okay, you will envy us immediately, because you only have one inn, and we have one inn every three days, and only we have the key.

When the caravan finally arrived in Liaoyang County, it was already mid-May. Lu Sheng went directly to the county government office, while Lu Yan took the caravan to the only inn in the city to settle down.

This nameless inn was still deserted. The shopkeeper was shocked when he saw Lu Yan coming back.

The shopkeeper quickly led the caravan to the backyard to settle the carriages and horses. The caravan brought thirty people with it this time. There were a dozen who were placed in the tea shed in front of them, and there were still a dozen left. A few people thought about it and decided that two people would sleep in a room, so the shopkeeper took them up to settle them.

When the shopkeeper came down, Lu Yan stood up and greeted the shopkeeper: "Let me introduce myself. Our surname is Lu. The boy who was with me last time is your new county magistrate. From now on, we will settle in Liaoyang County." Yes, the shopkeeper will take more care of us in the future."

The shopkeeper quickly returned the greeting: "Don't dare! It turns out to be Mr. Lu. He is really young and promising! How dare I have the arrogance to take care of you? If you have any need for me in the future, just tell me! Don't call me the shopkeeper either. , just call me Lao Lin.”

"Shopkeeper Lin is joking." Lu Yan declined: "We are new here and our foundation is not stable. We need help from people with roots in Liaozhou like you."

The two declined and argued for a while, and finally ended their endless politeness.

The progress on Lu Sheng's side is even more hilarious.

Lu Sheng went straight to the Yamen. Based on Lu Sheng's understanding of a leaderless bureaucratic group, Lu Sheng did not have any unrealistic hopes for the Liaoyang County Government. He had already prepared that his current team was a bunch of idiots.

But he was not prepared for his current team to be a group of old men.

When Lu Sheng saw the grass-roots team members, whose average age was sixty years old, who were still standing at the door to greet him, he fell silent.

Several old men also fell silent when they saw Lu Sheng acting like a young boy.

The oldest old man bowed tremblingly to Lu Sheng: "Magistrate Lu, you are here. We have been waiting for you for several days. Let me introduce to you the staff of our county government. My surname is Fang, and I am from our county. County Magistrate, this is Chief Wang, this is Master Liu, and this is Chief Sun, they are in charge of the thirteen agents in our county."

Only Sun Captou looked younger, but he still looked like he was in his early forties. Lu Sheng asked him to go to work and let him go.

Lu Sheng looked at the three elderly county magistrates and masters, and was extremely worried, and asked, "Where are our civil servants?"

Fang Xian Cheng: "There are no civil servants in our county. The main reason is that there is nothing to do in our county. We don't need to recruit those people. We can do any paperwork."

The main thing is poverty. There are only a few silver coins in total, how can you have money to give it to others? We can't let people work in vain.

Lu Sheng probably understood the situation here. Because there are fewer people, less work, and less money, we can’t recruit people, and there are no jobs that require them, so we simply don’t want them anymore.

This resulted in the entire Yamen being lifeless, without any youthful vitality.

If you want to solve this problem, you can't rush it. You have to cooperate with Lu Yan to improve the economy first and then recruit people.

Lu Sheng asked the county magistrate to come, so the three of them dispersed. At such an old age, it’s better to go home and rest.

Lu Sheng turned around and entered the county government courtyard, which is where the county magistrate lives.
