Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

Zhou Nanchuan was waiting for Tang Zisheng and his party on the main road. The Shunhe Mansion and Kaiyun Mansion are not far away. If you take the official road, it will take five or six days to get there.

But the restaurant opened four days later, so they had to take the trail when they went to Kaiyun Mansion this time. Xizhou is poor, and of course there are many bandits.

Therefore, in order to make the trip go smoothly, Zhou Nanchuan even asked the master of the martial arts hall to escort him. The group of people stood at the main entrance, and it was not easy to mess with them.

After waiting for more than half an hour, Tang Zisheng's carriage appeared on the main road.

"Sorry, I'm late." Tang Zisheng didn't get out of the carriage, and opened the curtain of the carriage to speak.

"You will be beautiful, we can still afford this time, our side is also ready, let's go now."

Zhou Nanchuan also got into the carriage, and the group left in a hurry, leaving only dust kicked up by the horseshoes.

-

Kaiyun Mansion is the largest state capital in Xizhou. It is close to the junction of the four states and has a unique geographical advantage.

The journey of Tang Zisheng and his party was surprisingly smooth, not to mention bandits, even in rainy days, they arrived at Kaiyun Mansion half a day earlier than originally planned.

When the carriage enters the mansion, naturally it can no longer gallop as fast as it would on a road. Walking so leisurely on the road makes Xu Qingcheng, who is used to the bumps in the past few days, feel a little uncomfortable.

But these discomforts were immediately thrown away after he entered the Kaiyun Mansion with the carriage.

"Is this Kaiyun Mansion?" Xu Qingcheng saw the bustling scene of people coming and going in Kaiyun Mansion through the half-slit of the carriage window.

Originally, in his eyes, the most prosperous place was that of Cang'er County.But now when he saw Kaiyun Mansion, he immediately felt that this was the difference between clouds and mud, because his vision was shallow.

"Well, when I came from Nanzhou to take up the post, I took another road, but I missed this bustling scenery."

Tang Zisheng's knowledge is accumulated in his previous life. It is not rare to say that the magnificent scenery here is so rare, but the astonishment of modern buildings and ancient buildings is always different when visiting.

"How does that compare to Nanzhou?" Xu Qingcheng couldn't imagine how soft and popular Nanzhou, which had always been over the top of the three states, was.

"Most cities in Nanzhou are almost the same as Kaiyun Mansion today, not bad."

The most prosperous state capital in Nanzhou is the fiefdom of General Jing, Suxing Mansion, which is no less than the imperial city.If the world is peaceful in the future, he will definitely take Qingcheng to take a look.

"It must be different." Xu Qingcheng yearned for it. It's no wonder that people always want to see more beautiful scenery after broadening their horizons. It is their nature and greed.

"If you want, we can go to the imperial city to play in the future." But that will have to wait until after the war, and we shouldn't be able to go in a short time.

Xu Qingcheng turned his head. Along the way, Tang Zisheng's increasingly familiar attitude always made it difficult for him to resist.But compared to the original can only pretend to be dumb, now he can at least say a few words, "Okay."

When Tang Zisheng heard the answer, he wrote it down, and they can finish these things in the future.

The carriage entered the city for a long time and stopped. Zhou Nanchuan had jumped off the carriage first, and greeted Tang Zisheng and the others.

Tang Zisheng pulled Xu Qingcheng out of the carriage, and seeing that the place where the carriage stopped was not an inn but a house, he looked at Zhou Nanchuan with raised eyebrows.

"This house was bought by me. It is a three-entry compound." The houses in Kaiyun Mansion are cheaper than those in Nanzhou, but the three-entry house costs several hundred taels of silver, which can only be obtained after delaying the relationship price.

"Your house is newly built, and you bought it together with the restaurant." Tang Zisheng looked around through this place, and it was easy to see the octagonal building not far away that was half blocked by the wall of the house. The octagonal building here It does not refer to a special building, but a kind of architectural modeling.

The octagonal building is named after the tower-shaped wooden building divided into octagonal buildings, which is suitable for restaurants.

"Of course I bought it together, otherwise I bought such a real estate in Kaiyun Mansion for my retirement here in the future?" His money is not a waste of money.

"It seems that Brother Zhou's previous remarks are deceiving, and there is still money to buy such a big house, it doesn't look like it is stretched."

While talking, they walked into the house.

"It wasn't there before, but after buying the house here, it's really come to this stage."

Zhou Nanchuan walked in the front and arranged houses for the people who came with him. The people Tang Zisheng brought with him and the people he brought to serve him lived in the main room.

As for the martial arts masters who accompanied them this time, they were all arranged in the east and west rooms, and the two rough servants in the courtyard were temporarily moved to live in the inverted room.

"It's been a long journey, today is a good rest, and the restaurant will open tomorrow, so don't be late." Zhou Nanchuan is a literati, unlike Tang Zisheng who has trained his body and Xu Qingcheng who is used to rough work, he can't stand this journey the most. Now I can't wait to fall on the bed and sleep for a day and a night.

"Brother Zhou, go to bed first, Qingcheng and I will go for a walk in the street later, don't worry about our dinner." Tang Zisheng had already seen Xu Qingcheng's intention to go out, so he told Zhou Nanchuan.

"Okay." Zhou Nanchuan yawned. This was his fiancée going out, so he didn't want to get involved.

Tang Zisheng didn't go out immediately, the road was full of dust and dust, and there was no place to rest to wash off the dust all over his body. When he arrived at the residence, he had to take a shower before going out.Otherwise, it will damage the image by letting outsiders smell a sour smell.

Xu Qingcheng naturally thought the same way, but after he finished washing, he competed with the hairpin in his hand. Taking a walk outside in this weather, his hair was mostly dry.But he messed up the hairstyle his father had done for him, so he couldn't do it himself.

Sure enough, it's the easiest way to tie it with cloth strips.

"Mr. Xu, let me do it." Shumo held Xu Qingcheng's hair. He used to work in a country gentleman's house. He learned these skills well. If Mr. Xu marries in in the future, he can also dress Mr. Xu differently. .

Shumo is proficient in craftsmanship, and the disobedient hair in Xu Qingcheng's hands is subdued by Shumo. Through the unclear brass mirror in the room, it can be seen that Shumo's craftsmanship is excellent.

"Thank you, Shumo." Xu Qingcheng was a little embarrassed, and after he practiced more, he would definitely be able to pull his hair back.

"You don't have to thank me, my lord is probably already waiting outside, Mr. Xu, hurry up." Shumo is also a very discerning brother, and he pushed Xu brother out of the door.

Tang Zisheng was indeed waiting outside. Yuan's clothes were all made of high-quality materials.So the newly changed clothes also make Tang Zisheng more handsome and handsome. If you go for a walk on the street at this moment, you must have a bold brother or girl handing you a purse.

"Where are we going now?" Xu Qingcheng had never traveled far, even if he could promise to take Tang Zisheng around in Cang'er County, it would definitely not work.

"It's lunch time, let's try Kaiyun's specialties." Tang Zisheng had made up his mind a long time ago, Zhou Nanchuan went to bed, and it seemed that he wouldn't eat lunch.

But the two of them are still awake, and when the food comes out of the kitchen here, the day lily may be cold.

It's better to take advantage of this time to taste the food specialties of Kaiyun Mansion, it can be regarded as scouting out the enemy's situation.

"Okay, but I want to try the hot pot you mentioned more." Xu Qingcheng hadn't had time to try this dish made by Tang Zisheng.But don't worry, the restaurant will be open tomorrow, no matter what, he will be able to eat.

"If you want to eat, it's not troublesome to bring someone over at night."

"Don't worry about it, anyway, you can eat it tomorrow, so don't worry about being late for a good meal."

"Yes, yes." Tang Zisheng responded with a smile, and led the people to the street.

Unlike Cang'er County, which is only a little bit big, Kaiyun Mansion is several Cang'er counties in size, and it would take a lot of time to go around the entire state capital in a horse-drawn carriage.

The two of them will travel together. Although there is a map gifted by Zhou Nanchuan, it is still not as convenient as the electronic navigation in the future.So it was rare for Tang Zisheng to carefully write down every path they took when they went out.

The location of this house is good, as soon as you go out, you will find a lively street, and the passers-by on the street can also tell that there are indeed a lot of people in the city of Kaiyun Mansion.

Xu Qingcheng scanned the roadside vendors full of curiosity, but after looking at a few more, his expression became depressed, "Then the merchants cheated people, and the money for the hairpin was still high."

Hearing the words, Tang Zisheng looked in the direction Xu Qingcheng was looking at, and knew what Xu Qingcheng meant, and couldn't help laughing, "It's not a lie, the style of wooden hairpins was indeed not available in Cang'er County at that time, but thinking about it, it is true. Why would a wooden hairpin need to be brought from Nanzhou in such a big way, it should be taken as a lesson."

Xu Qingcheng nodded, but he was still very angry. Obviously, the wooden hairpin was bought from Kaiyun Mansion at most. He is a small expert in bargaining, but he didn't expect to stumble on it.

Seeing that Xu Qingcheng was still angry, Tang Zisheng had no choice but to take advantage of them. "The potatoes we bought from them are not a loss. If we let them know that potatoes are produced in such a way, we will be really mad."

Xu Qingcheng thought of the potatoes he had carefully tended in the vegetable garden at home, and his mood calmed down again. The value of potatoes is countless times more expensive than wooden hairpins, and they still took advantage of it, "Mr. Tang is right."

"Why do you still call me Mr. Tang? Didn't I call you Qingcheng?" Tang Zisheng bluntly wanted to correct Qingcheng's address, not to call him such an intimate title as Zisheng, but he couldn't still call you Mr. Qingcheng.

"Zisheng?" It was not difficult for Xu Qingcheng to change his words. He thought that Tang Zisheng probably didn't know that he had called him this name countless times in his heart, but he never dared to reveal a word before.

Tang Zisheng was stunned by this title, then he reacted and smiled slightly, "Yeah."

It was already half past noon, and the two of them stopped entangled, chose a restaurant that looked lively and went in.

After being seated, Tang Zisheng and Xu Qingcheng looked at the scenery in the box. Such a restaurant is absolutely impossible to find in Cang'er County.

There are so many tricks in a single dining place, which makes people feel wasteful and extravagant.

"With this kind of arrangement, it would cost a lot of money to sit and sit inside without eating." Xu Qingcheng couldn't quite understand such a luxurious life, compared with the hundreds of taels of money spent for a meal , More people can't even eat.

"After meeting the basic needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation, people always hope to have better enjoyment if they have spare energy. When the people in the world can have enough food in the future, more and more people who can afford to come here to eat."

Xu Qingcheng was overwhelmed by the investigation, and was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I just saw such a scene for the first time, and I couldn't help but feel unbalanced. Those who can come to enjoy this kind of service, as long as the money comes from a clean source and is earned with their own hands, others will also be able to enjoy it." Not qualified to evaluate."

He has never felt that others have money, and if he has no money, others should give alms. He sighed just now because of the huge gap.

"However, few people who come here really clean their hands." Tang Zisheng looked down at the lobby through the wooden window. Businessmen are inherently greedy, and there are only a few who can really stick to their nature.
