I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

When the inspector went to Lingnan, he was already prepared. He first went to Guangzhou.

According to legend, Guangzhou City is the most prosperous city in South of the Five Ridges. After staying in Guangzhou for two days, the inspector found that it was not as good as Luoyang in every way, so he felt that he was mentally prepared.

When going to Jiaozhou, the road was difficult, so he gritted his teeth and survived.

It's just that after entering the area of ​​Beidai County, he was surprised to find that the road was easy to walk, and there were more and more pedestrians. Although the clothes were not very good, they were much better than many villages and towns passed by on the road.

When he entered Beidai County, the inspector felt that his eyes could not see. The tall buildings facing the street made him wonder where he was.

Even in Luoyang, there are not three or four storey buildings everywhere. It's just that these buildings are tall, but they lack some aesthetic feeling in the eyes of the inspectors.

After all, when Luo Shixing designed it at the beginning, in order to keep the cost down and make it more practical, he didn't make any sculptures, galleries and paintings. The modern style of later generations is actually somewhat incompatible with the aesthetics of the current people.

That is to say, those people in Beidai County don't even know what the tall buildings in the Central Plains look like, so they don't think there is anything.

The inspector stayed in Beidai County for two days, and then met the only female county magistrate in the entire Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Shanshi has been the county magistrate for nearly a year, and she has experienced a lot from being unfamiliar at the beginning to being proficient now.

She was wearing a light green official gown and a fur head, completely masculine attire.

As expected, the Inspector was in the capital, and he didn't feel anything wrong when he saw the female officials. The only difference was that the official positions of the women in the capital were set for women, and Xiao Shanshi was the first female official to sneak into the male team.

The inspector couldn't help but observe carefully, and found that when talking and doing things, this little lady was capable and free-spirited that men don't have. When talking about the current situation in Beidai County, she was even more eloquent, and she was a capable official at first sight.

It's a pity that I'm a woman!

It was a pity for the inspector. In his opinion, Xiao Shanshi's tenure as county magistrate had come to an end. If he wanted to get promoted, he had to go to Jiaozhou to serve and then follow the governor of Jiaozhou. Otherwise, it was almost impossible for him to go on a normal career like a man. .

Xiao Shanshi seemed to have never thought about it, and said with a smile: "The inspectors have worked hard far and near, please rest for a while. Recently, the envoy is busy watching the double robbers, so I will personally send the inspectors to Jiaozhou City in two days, and please inspect them." Don't be surprised."

After Xiao Shanshi finished speaking, she explained what double grabbing is. This word almost only appeared in Lingnan, or Jiaozhou.

Inspector Guiwei Angel was supposed to be greeted by the Governor of Jiaozhou in person, but he was not angry when he heard that, but asked, "Can three-crop rice be grown here in Lingnan?"

He originally came here for the matter of rice, so naturally he had to ask more questions.

Xiao Shanshi carefully explained: "No, the envoy said that there are only two places in the entire Tang Dynasty that can grow three-season rice, one is Jiaozhou, and the other is Yazhou."

Yazhou, which is Hainan Island in later generations, has a climate very similar to Jiaozhou, so it can be planted.

The inspector was a little surprised: "Just these two places? Can't you do anything else?"

Xiao Shanshi nodded: "That's right, other places in Lingnan don't have long enough summers and cold winters, so rice grows very slowly."

The inspector asked after hearing this: "That means, the Central Plains can no longer be planted."

Xiao Shanshi replied: "Yes, it is impossible to grow rice for three seasons."

"Can the new grain be grown in the Central Plains?"

If you can't grow rice for three seasons, you don't plant it. Even if you only plant one season, it is good if the grain output can be increased.

Xiao Shanshi covered her mouth with a smile and said: "I don't understand this, but Linu No. [-], that is, the new grain, happened to be researched by Shijun and one of his subordinates, and that person is still in Beidai County. If the inspector is interested, I will call him to tell you more about it."

The inspector immediately said, "Okay."

Xiao Shanshi hurriedly asked Wei Ziyao to come over, and Wei Ziyao seemed a little nervous when he came over.

He was different from the others, he came from a really small family, his father was a county magistrate back then, and he had never even met the governor, let alone a high-ranking official like the inspector.

The inspector saw his restraint and said gently, "Don't be nervous, I just ask you some questions."

Naturally, he asked about new grains, and Wei Ziyao said seriously: "Li Nu No. [-] is the idea proposed by the envoy, and he wrote a statement for us to implement it. It also took a lot of effort from the envoy when it was cultivated. If you want Li Nu No. [-] to adapt to the Central Plains, you have to cultivate it slowly, and it may not be easy for a while."

The inspector was very novel. From Xiao Shanshi just now to Wei Ziyao now, a piece of news was revealed between the two of them: Li Nu No. [-] was researched by Luo Shixing.

As for Wei Ziyao, he is more like someone who executes orders, that is to say, if he really wants to plant in the Central Plains, he must meet the legendary governor of Jiaozhou.

After learning about it in Beidai County for two days, the inspector went to Jiaozhou City together with Xiao Shanshi.

On the way, he couldn't help but said: "The road in Beidai County is special."

The road is gray as a whole. I don't know what material it is, but it is very flat, and it is no worse than the road in Luoyang. This is very strange.

How much money can Beidai County have?How did they build such a good road?

Xiao Shanshi said with a smile: "These are all paved with Sanhe soil. At the beginning, you made great efforts to pave the road. He said that Beidai County is located in a remote place, and has been unable to communicate with the outside world. If you can't go out, you have to stay poor. If you want to develop, you have to be poor." Roads have to be built first."

The inspector nodded, and he recognized this point. All the prosperous towns in the Central Plains are places with convenient transportation.

But what he didn't expect was that the road planning in Beidai County was very neat and beautiful. After thinking about it, Luo Shixing had been the magistrate of Beidai County for only a few years. But that was only a few years ago.

How is this built?

If it was changed to another place, the inspector would definitely suspect that he was really oppressing the people and expropriating a large number of corvees. However, in Lingnan, the people are too fierce. If he really did that, he might have been overthrown long ago.

The previous governor of Jiaozhou was overthrown for doing nothing, let alone oppressing the people.

But after leaving Beidai County, the road conditions obviously deteriorated a lot, and he even had to abandon his car and ride a horse in some places, because the roads were too rough.

Xiao Shanshi rode on horseback and explained: "Your envoy has been serving as governor of Jiaozhou for just over a year. Jiaozhou City has not been completely rebuilt, so he doesn't have much energy to build roads. It will probably be repaired after Jiaozhou City is almost built."

After hearing this, the inspector asked, "Is Jiaozhou City really dilapidated before?"

Xiao Shanshi said with a wry smile: "Now there are still two broken walls in Jiaozhou City."

Of course, Luo Shixing did not rush to build these two city walls. Before, he was worried that if the city walls were not repaired, the people would feel insecure.

However, he later discovered that the people's sense of security came from the money in their pockets, the food and other property stored at home.

When they rented land and made sure that they could leave enough food after paying taxes, they didn't worry about it.

It’s even better without the city walls. In the past, there was a city tax when entering and leaving the city, but now you don’t have to pay it!

In fact, Luo Shixing didn't plan to collect it at all. He always felt that the city entry tax was very unbelievable. Maybe the thinking of later generations would not be able to understand the current policy.

Anyway, in his opinion, the little money for the common people to go in and out of the city is of no use.

After discovering that the people didn't value the city wall very much, he simply put the rebuilding of the city wall at the end.

So when the inspector approached Jiaozhou City, the first thing he saw was a part of ruined walls, and he couldn't help feeling: "It's not easy for Luo Wujiu."

Xiao Shanshi immediately said very aggrieved: "It's not easy to be a gentleman. Every day I work hard for the people of Jiaozhou, and I can't sleep for long every day. Before that, I didn't even grow up because I didn't sleep much. Fortunately, I grew a lot taller. otherwise……"

She paused before saying, "But even so, there are still people who can't see him well."

I have to say that female officers are sometimes beneficial. If you are a serious county magistrate, you must be ashamed to talk to the inspector like that.

But who made her a woman, or a very young lady?

The inspector is not very old, and the older people dare not let them make this trip. What if they die on the way?He is even more patient when dealing with young ladies.

Don't say that Xiao Shanshi is still a delicate beauty, and her surname is Xiao.

Even so, the Inspector was stunned for a moment after hearing this. When he heard Xiao Shanshi say that Luo Shixing was almost short, he didn't realize it. It took a while before he remembered that the governor of Jiaozhou...has just turned [-] now. Sixth, it is the age of long body!

Thinking about it this way, the child is even more pitiful, and Gan Luo's twelve ministers didn't really let him handle military affairs.

The inspector entered Jiaozhou City with a touch of pity, and was shocked by the two completely different styles inside and outside after entering.

The city looked dilapidated from the outside, but after entering, it was found that the city was well built. At least the streets were clean and tidy, and the overall layout was similar to Luoyang and Chang'an.

Although the city wall of Jiaozhou City is incomplete, there is a Lifang, and the walls of the Lifang are well built.

There are not many pedestrians walking on the road, and there are not many people selling things in the streets. It will be more lively when you walk through the East and West cities. From the perspective of people's clothing, the state city is not as good as Beidai County, but it is worse than Beidai County. Some villages and towns on the road are much better.

What impressed him the most was that the expressions on the faces of the people who came and went were very relaxed, and most of them were even smiling.

Generally speaking, such a situation can only occur if the people's life is rich enough and there is no worries.

In fact, even in Luoyang, this is not completely the case. Living in the capital is not easy, and people living in the capital have their own pressures.

After the inspector entered the city, because he was so fascinated by watching, he forgot the most important thing - the governor of Jiaozhou did not go out of the city to greet him!

It wasn't until he arrived at the governor's mansion that he realized that he was a bit uncomfortable when he saw the secretary coming out to greet him: "Where's the governor of Jiaozhou?"

The recorder said with a wry smile: "Your envoy went to the manor yesterday, and was supposed to come back last night, but it suddenly rained heavily in the evening, and your envoy has not come back yet."

The inspector frowned and was about to say something when he heard someone shouting from behind: "The angel came, but he didn't greet him from afar. It's the fault of the lower official."

As soon as the inspector turned his head, he saw a man with rolled up trouser legs, mud on his legs, and even mud spots on his face... a beautiful young man.
