Wearing a county magistrate to build infrastructure

"Map of Cang'er County?" Zhou Nanchuan looked it over carefully, and saw that a larger circle was drawn outside the part of Cang'er County marked on the map, "Don't say that you want to build another city on the circle drawn outside."

"Well, I plan to continue to expand. Today's Cang'er County is too small, and it can accommodate only two thousand people. Since we want to use this place as a city in the future, why shouldn't we shudder?"

Taking the county as the city, it is too small. There are not many other things in Xizhou, but the place is large, and the location of Cang'er County is excellent, just as the surrounding area is separated by mountains, so it has a unique location advantage.

"Where did we get the money to build the city? The military training alone has already made us rack our brains. If we add the city building, even ten Zhou families can't support it." Zhou Nanchuan wanted to wake Tang Zisheng up.

The current city of Cang'er County is indeed dilapidated, but building a new city is not something that can be done simply. Human, material and financial resources are indispensable.

But they are lacking in all three things, three lacking in three, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

"I didn't say it's now, but if we really have the support of ten rich people like the Zhou family, we can start building the city immediately." After all, besides being able to provide a lot of working capital, the rich people also have huge assets.

Zhou's family is also well-known in Nanzhou, they can't compare.

Zhou Nanchuan was silent for a long while before speaking again, "I thought you were only planning to make a fuss in the past year, but I didn't expect you to think of this step, but thinking about some things is not enough."

"Of course, but I'm not unprepared." Potatoes can be popularized in a year, which is still too slow. Kaiyun Mansion is such a big city, there must be a lot of caravans coming and going, and he will have to go to these places more in the next few days walk around.

"It seems that you still have cards that you haven't explained." Zhou Nanchuan narrowed his eyes, he knew that Tang Zisheng used to hide his clumsiness.

"Soon." Tang Zisheng closed the map, "When Shen Yiran left, he said that if we wanted to contact the General's Mansion when he was gone, we would go find a business with crabapple flowers. Why is Kaiyun Mansion famous for its crabapple?"

"Begonia?" Zhou Nanchuan's expression became strange, "You really don't know?"

"I've never been to Kaiyun Mansion, where did I find out?" Tang Zisheng also found Zhou Nanchuan strange.

"Heh, okay, the most famous Haitang in Kaiyun Mansion is the current oiran of Chunfeng Tower, so it is named after Haitang. Do you want to go?"

Zhou Nanchuan said this with the intention of watching the excitement, and he wanted to see how Tang Zisheng would explain to Brother Xu that he really wanted to go to the Spring Breeze Tower.

"Well, then you go there tomorrow."

"Huh?" Zhou Nanchuan glared at Tang Zisheng, "I'm still going to stare at the Huanqing Building tomorrow. That's not how it works. You'd better reorganize your wording."

"Just kidding, I will visit this oiran Haitang in person tomorrow night." It's just a visit to the brothel, if Qingcheng is not at ease, just ask Qingcheng to dress up as a man and go with him, "the news came from the soldier talisman Yet?"

Since he was looking for someone from the General's Mansion, apart from passing on the current situation of Kaiyun Mansion, the matter of the soldier talisman was the most important.

Although they should have received the news since the arrival of the military talisman from the general's mansion, but they are responsible for this matter, and there must be a beginning and an end.

"It has been delivered. The Northwest City is now under a dark tide, but no one knows that the soldier talisman has been delivered to the Northwest General's Mansion. Now we can only watch the Northwest Army to see if they have quietly transferred."

"There are so many people in the Northwest Army, even if some of them are really transferred, they won't be able to find out if they stare like this." The General's Mansion has been entrenched in Northwest City for so many years, and it would be strange if they didn't even prepare a secret passage.

"That's right, but counting the days, if you give this news out, maybe Brother Shen hasn't arrived at the General's Mansion, and the people in the General's Mansion may not know who we are by then."

"It makes sense, then wait a few more days. It will take eight days at the earliest for Brother Shen to travel from Cang'er County to the General's Mansion. Now it has only been five days. I will go to the Spring Wind Tower in three days."

"My subordinates first wish Mr. Tang a happy trip." Zhou Nanchuan smiled maliciously.

Taking pleasure in others' misfortune, Tang Zisheng made a note of Zhou Nanchuan's money in his heart, and will return it to him when Zhou Nanchuan gets married in the future.

As for these few days, I hope the caravan of Kaiyun Mansion will not disappoint him.

-

General's House.

Shen Yiran came back from Cang'er County, and it took only seven days to travel day and night. He changed three horses halfway before he was able to make it back, and he rushed to the general's residence without caring about cleaning up his mess.

"Come in." Jing Huan sensed someone outside the house, and knew that it was Yiran who had returned.

"General, this subordinate came back late, please punish him." Shen Yiran pleaded guilty as soon as he came back, making Jing Huan, who was originally happy, very angry.

But who made Shen Yiran the only child under his knees, even though he was not related by blood, those eyes that resembled Ditang so much were enough to make him love Shen Yiran as his own child.

"Punishment, if it's really a punishment, it's not that you came back late, it's the failure of the previous mission that should be punished."

Jing Huan helplessly helped Shen Yiran up, this child is too stubborn, his temperament is not like Ditang, but like another old friend.

"I..." Shen Yiran pursed her lips. Indeed, although Tang Zisheng took over the escort of the soldier talisman to the northwest city, he didn't send it by himself after all, and he should be punished for that.

Jing Huan patted Shen Yiran on the shoulder, "When you return to the mansion, don't think of yourself as a spy on a mission. It's my Jing Huan's son, the young master of the general's mansion. If I hear you mention punishment, Tomorrow, I will ask Mr. Qian to arrange for you to meet the young masters of Nanzhou."

Shen Yiran was also very helpless, his father could grasp his weakness every time, now is an extraordinary period and he would not consider the love of his children, so he had to change his words, "Got it, father."

Knowing that Yiran was not facing him, Jing Huan beckoned for Yiran to sit with him at the chess table on the other side of the room, and asked about the details of Shen Yiran's disappearance, "Listen to the message sent to Cang'er County to look for you earlier. People say, you have been hiding in Cang'er County, why don't you contact the General's Mansion, so that I can send someone to pick you up as soon as possible."

"My whereabouts cannot be revealed for a day before the soldier talisman is delivered to Northwest City. If I send a message back to Nanzhou at that time, there is no guarantee that King Xin will not receive the news."

"But you can't put yourself in danger, and what happened to the county magistrate of Cang'er County?"

"It's the friend I met during this time of distress. Without him and Brother Xu, I'm afraid I would have fallen into the hands of Prince Xin's Mansion."

Shen Yiran's explanation was very serious, mainly because he was afraid that his father would think something inappropriate, "Afterwards, the boy made a deal with him, and the soldier talisman should be sent to Northwest City now."

"The secret letter from Northwest City was indeed delivered, but what deal did you make with that county magistrate?"

There was a dangerous light in Jing Huan's eyes, if that kid dared to take advantage of his brother, he would break that kid's leg.

"I made a promise to the general's mansion with the token of the young master of the general's mansion." As for the six-month guard, Shen Yiran thought about it and still didn't say anything, for fear that his father would think too much, "Tang Zisheng returned the token before I came back." , As for what he wants, I still need my father to decide after seeing it."

"Oh?" Jing Huan looked at the thick envelope that Yiran handed over, even Yiran couldn't decide, the magistrate of Cang'er County wanted something big.

If the lion speaks loudly, he must let the other party know that the general's mansion is not a charity hall, and even if there is a kindness, it is not a reason for this kid to ask for kindness.

The thick envelope was opened, and when Jing Huan saw the first line of words, there were only two words in his heart, "It's so ugly".

But as Jing Huan gradually read on, his contemptuous heart gradually disappeared. After reading the last word, Jing Huan looked at the letter paper in his hands and laughed.

"What a boy who can threaten, he has spotted my weakness." Jing Huan is an old fox, it is not difficult to see through Tang Zisheng's intentions at a glance, and Tang Zisheng also guessed this, so he simply said it frankly in the letter He made no secret of his ambition, ambition, and intellect.

"When I was discussing with Tang Zisheng before, it seemed that he still had some hole cards to show. Seeing his expression, if we don't agree, this hole card can also make us change our minds." Shen Yiran told the truth that he didn't want to help Tang Zisheng. the meaning of.

Compared with the future of the General's Mansion and Tang Zisheng's life-saving grace, he is naturally on the side of the General's Mansion.

But he was curious about what Tang Zisheng's hole card was, and why he was so sure that they would not be able to refuse this hole card.

After getting along for so long, he knew that although Tang Zisheng was a scheming man, he didn't play tricks on it, so there must be something real to make people so appetizing.

"Really?" Jing Huan thought about Tang Zisheng in his mind. He has the channels for soldiers and horses, and it is not difficult to provide them to Tang Zisheng. He just hoarded a sum of money for the general's mansion for future preparations.

But he was really not happy to let the junior lead him by the nose.But in this letter, Tang Zisheng seemed to have expected it and mentioned something.If war breaks out in Nanzhou, the Northwest Foreign Countries can be handed over to Tang Zisheng to defend.

He couldn't refuse this point. Although it was only a matter of time before King Huai and the crown prince went back to conquer the Northwest after defeating Xin Wang, but if the Northwest was invaded by foreigners, the lives of the people living in the Northwest would definitely be in dire straits. He didn't want to see it.

"Yes."

"This is a big matter. I need to meet this Tang Zisheng in person to make a conclusion." The words of others can only be used as a reference, and only when he has seen it with his own eyes can he confirm the real purpose of this person.

The letter said that he only wanted to protect himself, but if this was an excuse to cover up his ambition, he was cultivating enemies for himself, and he was not happy to see such consequences.

"Father, do you want Tang Zisheng to return to Nanzhou?" Shen Yiran was not sure what his father meant.

"No, I'm going to Cang'er County."

"But father, once you leave Nanzhou, what will happen here?"

Shen Yiran's voice became weaker and weaker, but the worry in his eyes did not diminish by half.

"Before you came back, Mr. Qian and I had already discussed a plan. King Xin and King Huai were staring at the Northwest side all the time, and they needed something to divert their attention. And without my accident, King Xin and King Huai could lose their sense of proportion. "

"But you don't need to leave Nanzhou."

"The tighter the security of the General's Mansion, the more believable it will be for me to have an accident. This period of time also allows me to leave Nanzhou and go to the Imperial City, and I can meet this bold young man along the way." Jing Huan had planned it long ago. Yes, but it was a temporary decision to see Tang Zisheng.

The imperial city is in Dongzhou, and Cang'er County is in Xizhou. The east and west directions are not smooth at all. It is rare for Shen Yiran to complain about his father's excuse, "Did father go to the imperial city to find Prime Minister Yan?"

Jing Huan nodded. The layout of Nanzhou has been going on for many years, and now it's the turn of the imperial city.
