What is it like to start as Tiandao?

In this incident, Xiao Tingxuan gained everyone's loyalty, while Mu Fei and the others received luck points. In summary, this wave is a win-win situation.

Everyone recovered, the energy in their bodies was stronger than before, and the journey was much faster than the previous few days.

Half a month later, Xiao Tingxuan's vassal team had traveled six hundred miles, which greatly exceeded expectations.

The team's speed is inseparable from Mu Yu's contribution last time.

Now there are still four hundred miles to reach the destination, Sanhe.

It was also at this time that Xiao Tingxuan and his team came to a town.

Although this town looks very short and small, it looks out of place compared to other cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But it is undeniable that it is indeed a town and belongs to the Zhou Dynasty.

"Lu Jiancheng from Xiaguan Nan County pays homage to His Highness Prince Su."

Lu Jiancheng, the magistrate of Nanjun County, hurriedly came to Xiao Tingxuan to see him.

The master just came to report that the imperial vassal team had arrived in Nanjun County and asked Lu Jiancheng if he wanted to go and greet them.

At first, Lu Jiancheng didn't believe it and thought the master was joking with him.

How could a prince come to this ungrateful place like Nanjun County to become a vassal?

You must know that Sanhe is not far ahead. Is it possible that there are still princes who are fiefdomed in Sanhe?

It has to be said that Lu Jiancheng guessed correctly that the prince who was granted the title of Sanhe was Xiao Tingxuan.

"The king is passing by here. Sir Lu, there is no need to be polite. Please get up quickly."

Xiao Tingxuan helped Lu Jiancheng up very kindly. Otherwise, Xiao Tingxuan saw that Lu Jiancheng was old. Looking at him, he should be in his fifties or sixties.

It was really hard for him to be sent to such a place by the imperial court at this age.

Maybe Lu Jiancheng will be useful in the future, so it doesn't hurt to make some friends.

"Thank you, His Highness Prince Su."

Lu Jiancheng stood up to thank him, and then invited him again: "If His Highness Prince Su doesn't dislike it, you can follow me to the government office to have a talk."

"In this case, I would like to thank Master Lu, please!"

Xiao Tingxuan was not polite at all. As soon as Lu Jiancheng invited him, he immediately agreed without any hesitation.

Lu Jiancheng was a little surprised to see Xiao Tingxuan agreeing so readily.

He thought that the princes were all extremely noble and looked down upon him, a little shabby temple. If he was just so polite, Xiao Tingxuan would definitely not agree to him.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tingxuan agreed without hesitation as soon as he finished speaking. What's going on?

"Your Highness Prince Su, please!"

At this point, Lu Jiancheng could only bite the bullet and ask Xiao Tingxuan to come over.

In this poor place like Nanjun County, he did not have good wine or meat to entertain Xiao Tingxuan. He hoped that Xiao Tingxuan would not be angry and demolish his small temple.

Not long after, Xiao Tingxuan and the others followed Lu Jiancheng to the Nanjun County Government Office.

Of course, it was a group of people, including Xiao Tingxuan, Mu Fei, Li Yifan, and Li Nanchun, while the others found a place to set up camp.

Otherwise, more than a thousand people would not be enough to defeat Lu Jiancheng.

Nanjun County Government Office, said to be a county government office, is actually a larger farmhouse. Compared with other local county offices, it is too shabby.

However, such a place is not only the place where Lu Jiancheng works, but also his daily residence.

It can be seen from this that Lu Jiancheng's life is not good.

A county official is like this, which can reflect from the side that Nanjun County is extremely backward.

Lu Jiancheng asked Xiao Tingxuan and others to sit down, and then went to prepare dinner for Xiao Tingxuan and others.

Not long after, a basket of steamed buns, several bowls of rice porridge, and a plate of pickles were brought out.

Seeing this, Li Yifan's eyes widened. Xiao Tingxuan is a prince after all, and you just use this to entertain them?

Lu Jiancheng also noticed the look in Li Yifan's eyes, and immediately said helplessly: "Nanjun County is poor, so I can only use these to entertain you. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

When he said this, Lu Jiancheng's chest was still aching.

He usually only has a little rice porridge and pickles, and he only dares to steam two steamed buns during festivals.

Xiao Tingxuan's visit this time almost used up all his holiday expenses for the whole year.

If he had known this, he would have invited Xiao Tingxuan over without shouting.

"How dare you? Thank you Mr. Lu for your hospitality. Mr. Lu, please sit down and eat together."

Xiao Tingxuan did not blame Lu Jiancheng for being disrespectful to him. He knew that Lu Jiancheng was willing to give up these things.

On the way into the city, Xiao Tingxuan inquired about the situation in Nanjun County. Most of the men he saw were bare-chested, with a piece of cloth covering their lower bodies.

Women should be a little better, at least dress more closely.

They are all extremely thin and have dark skin, resulting from long-term exposure to the sun and malnutrition.

From this we can see that Nanjun County is really poor.

It can be imagined from this that it was not easy for Lu Jiancheng to come up with these foods to entertain them, so Xiao Tingxuan did not blame him.

"Thank you, His Highness Prince Su."

Lu Jiancheng didn't refuse. He learned a lesson from Xiao Tingxuan, if you are thin-skinned, you will have nothing to eat.

Therefore, be thick-skinned when you should be thick-skinned, at least you won’t starve to death.

After Lu Jiancheng sat down, Xiao Tingxuan asked again: "Master Lu, is Nanjun County very poor?"

"poverty?"

Hearing Xiao Tingxuan ask this, Lu Jiancheng wanted to laugh, but he smiled helplessly.

Lv Jiancheng sighed: "Nanjun County is indeed poorer than other places, but it is these poor people who are poor. For ordinary people, it is the same everywhere."

After hearing what Lv Jiancheng said, Xiao Tingxuan frowned slightly. He finally heard that Lv Jiancheng's words were meant to be meaningful!

Xiao Tingxuan asked: "Is there a noble family here?"

Xiao Tingxuan really couldn't believe that there was a noble family in such a poor place?

When Lv Jiancheng heard what Xiao Tingxuan said, he knew that Xiao Tingxuan didn't know anything.

However, Lv Jiancheng would not despise Xiao Tingxuan for this.

Let alone Xiao Tingxuan, even His Majesty would not know too much about the things here.

Lu Jiancheng explained to Xiao Tingxuan: "Your Highness doesn't know that it is not the noble family that controls this place, but the Tusi."

"Tusi?"

Xiao Tingxuan heard this word for the first time, and he couldn't help but become curious. What is Tusi?

Seeing Xiao Tingxuan puzzled by the word Tusi, Lv Jiancheng didn't think it was a surprise.

It is normal for Xiao Tingxuan not to know the Tusi.

On the contrary, it would be abnormal if Xiao Tingxuan knew the Tusi.

Lu Jiancheng continued to explain to Xiao Tingxuan: "Tusi is almost the same as aristocratic families. Their families have been here for thousands of years and control all the land and resources here.

Allow me to say something very treasonous. The emperor is far away and the roads are blocked. These Tusi are the emperors here.

There are two main reasons why I can live here safely. The first is that I have not encroached on their interests.

The second is that these Tusi still give face to the court. They are still a little afraid of the court and dare not easily attack me."
