Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1314, the new official takes office

On the concrete road leading north from the capital to Huairou County, dozens of four-wheeled carriages were slowly driving towards Huairou County. Inside one of the four-wheeled carriages, Zhu Houzhao, the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty, was looking bored at the scenery outside the window.

To be honest, he didn't want to be the county magistrate of Huairou County.

As a majestic prince, even if he went to practice below, at least he had to start from a state capital. It was unreasonable to start as a county magistrate.

What's more, Zhu Houzhao is not interested in governing the country at all. From the beginning to the end, he is most interested in sealing wolves and living in Xuxu, marching and fighting, followed by research, research on machinery and electromagnetism, and then women. After the fishy smell, this product is out of control.

This time I went to Huairou County to be the county magistrate, and I brought a dozen beauties with me, plus his precious experimental equipment, research tools, etc., and it took dozens of carts to load it.

Dozens of carriages were driving on the concrete road, and the team was huge, but everyone was disguised. Even Zhu Houzhao's guards were dressed in ordinary clothes, and their weapons were hidden.

If you don't show your identity, no one will know that this is the convoy of the Prince of Ming Dynasty, and it is only a convoy of ordinary businessmen.

"This must be Lao Liu's bad idea. Otherwise, my father would not be willing to let me go out of the capital, and my mother would definitely not allow it. Wouldn't it be good to live a good life in the capital? I have to go to Huairou County What county magistrate?"

"It's called exercising and adapting to the environment. My father certainly couldn't think of such a fancy way of life. It must have been done by Lao Liu."

Zhu Houzhao is almost 100% sure that it was definitely Liu Jin's idea.

Although Huairou County is actually a county under the Shuntian Prefecture of the capital city, and it is very convenient to travel to and from the capital city, it is a little far away from the capital city after all.

"Alright, staying in the capital is a bit boring, so it's good to go out and have fun."

"I heard that there are many mountains and forests in Huairou County, and you can still hunt at that time."

Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao became happy again. He likes hunting very much, and feels that hunting is similar to marching and fighting.

"Your Highness, what is there to see in the mountains and fields?"

Beside Zhu Houzhao, a beauty hugged Zhu Houzhao's arm, shaking coquettishly.

"Of course there are many places to see in the mountains and fields."

"I went to Huairou County this time to serve as the county magistrate. This term of office is naturally intended to benefit one side. If the people in a place are doing well, you can tell by looking at the fields."

"Look at the fields. The fields on both sides of the road are all good fields. However, in such good fields, instead of wheat, they grow corn, sweet potatoes, and vegetables. What does this mean?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the beauties around him. The activities of choosing the crown princess were still in full swing, but Zhu Houzhao had already met dozens of beauties. The one beside him was Li Meiren from North Korea.

"I don't really understand, but in North Korea, all the fields that can be cultivated will be used to grow food, and only some poor land will be used to grow vegetables, corn, and sweet potatoes."

Li Meiren thought for a while and shook her head slightly.

"Yes, the land is precious, and the food is even more precious. In the past, there was not much food in Daming, the price was high, and the common people couldn't eat enough, so as long as the fields that can be seen are growing food."

"But the situation is different now. There are many places where I produce grain in the Ming Dynasty. The grain produced in Liaodong alone is enough to meet the needs of Beijing and Tianjin. The price of grain is very cheap."

"On the contrary, the labor force has risen sharply. At the same time, there are many factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and the living standard is high. The demand for vegetables, fruits, and meat is very large."

"Therefore, around the Beijing-Tianjin area, there are fewer and fewer people who grow food. Instead, they grow vegetables, melons and fruits, and breed them. Corn and sweet potatoes are used to feed pigs, and vegetables are supplied to the capital."

Zhu Houzhao pointed to the vegetables and corn in the field and said.

"Although this Huairou County is located in the northwest of the capital, it has always been the poorest place in Shuntian Prefecture, but now it seems that this Huairou County is developing quite well."

"Your Highness is amazing!"

"It's amazing how much you can learn just by looking at the fields."

Li Meiren next to her seemed to understand and praised.

"Haha, of course."

"There are many things that the prince is good at, and it's not like you don't know."

As soon as Zhu Houzhao put on this tall hat, his tail immediately turned up.

"Your Highness~"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Li Meiren's face flushed immediately, her eyes were full of spring, and she shouted delicately.

"Haha~"

Zhu Houzhao became happier immediately, and then looked at Li Meiren again.

This beauty Li was able to serve as a tribute girl to Daming, so she was naturally one in a million. She was extremely beautiful, and the key was that she could serve others and had undergone special training and learning.

This shy look made Zhu Houzhao furious immediately
"Stop, stop~"

The convoy continued to move forward, and when it seemed that it would arrive in Huairou County in another half an hour, at a pass, a group of people who looked like hooligans actually set up a checkpoint to stop Zhu Houzhao's convoy.

"What?"

Liu Jin got up on the horse and looked like a butler. When the convoy was stopped, she also hurriedly rode to the front.

Looking at the people who set up checkpoints and blocked the road in front of them, Liu Jin asked sharply.

For Zhu Houzhao and Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jin served him meticulously, was a slave, and was at his mercy, but this did not mean that Liu Jin was really like that.

When dealing with ordinary people, Liu Jin's face is completely different, arrogant and high above her head, and her voice is also indifferent and majestic.

"What?"

"Tolls are collected, one hundred yuan for a carriage, and ten yuan for a person."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, a burly man walked out of the group of people. The other party looked carefully at Liu Jin and the others, and could tell that Liu Jin and the others didn't seem to be easy to mess with, but the toll fee Still have to charge.

"If I remember correctly, this cement road was paid for by the imperial court. Roads built with the imperial court's funds cannot be charged, even if it is the government. Who are you?"

Liu Jin is a qualified secretary. Zhu Houzhao came to Huairou County for an internship. He also made a lot of preparations in advance and knew many things about Huairou County in advance.

"Government?"

"The government doesn't want your tolls, but the grandson in Huairou County wants to collect tolls. Do you have any opinions?"

Ma Sandao looked at the people in front of him, they looked like they were here to do business in Huairou County, since they were here to do business, they should know the rules, and they should also know the name of Grandpa Sun Zixiang in Huairou County.

"What grandpa, why haven't I heard of it?"

Liu Jin glanced around, there are more than a dozen people here in front of him, all of them are similar to Ma Sandao in front of him, they are all gangsters and hooligans, some of them are holding things in their hands, it seems that they are not Very annoying.

"Our grandpa, Sun Zixiang's name, have you never heard of it?"

"Then what business do you come to Huairou County for?"

"On this one-acre three-point land in Huairou County, there is nothing our grandpa can't do, and there is nothing our grandpa can't do without."

"I advise you to be more acquainted and pay the toll quickly, so as not to cause trouble."

Ma Sandao said very arrogantly.

"Sun Zixiang, right?"

"I'm going to talk to our boss."

When Liu Jin heard this, she silently remembered the name, and then rode to Zhu Houzhao's car and said, "Your Highness, there is a local hooligan who set up checkpoints to force tolls in front of him. It is a subordinate named Sun Zixiang, who seems to be in Huairou County. It's very powerful here."

"The local hooligans charge tolls forcibly?"

Zhu Houzhao, who was enjoying the tenderness, heard this, opened the curtain of the car, and asked with a frown.

"Yes~"

"This highway was funded and built by the imperial court, and it is completely free to pass, but they are setting up checkpoints to force tolls."

Liu Jin nodded and said.

"Sun Zixiang?"

"Hey, it seems we have some fun."

"Give them the toll, and then send someone to investigate this Sun Zixiang carefully. When he came across this kind of thing, it seems that this Sun Zixiang is very courageous, and he dared to openly collect the toll."

Zhu Houzhao became interested immediately.

At first, I thought being a magistrate was boring, but now it seems that I can find something to do. It seems that it is a good activity to sweep up the local hooligans in Huairou County.

"Yes~"

Liu Jin nodded quickly, and then ordered someone to pay the toll.

The toll was paid, and Ma Sandao and others did not stop him, allowing the carriage to go to Huairou County smoothly.

"Come to Grandpa Sun's territory in Huairou County. If it's a dragon, it's going to be coiled, and if it's a tiger, it's going to be nested. Just pay the toll honestly~"

Holding the silver dollar in his hand, Ma Sandao looked at the four-wheeled carriage passing in front of him, and said to the people around him with a smile, but soon, his eyes were attracted by the beauty on the four-wheeled carriage.

Zhu Houzhao brought more than a dozen beauties by his side, and any one of them was a beauty who had been selected from thousands of choices. Sitting in a carriage was boring, and the curtain was lifted to watch the excitement, which made Ma Sandao and others' eyes widen. Yes, drool.

"There is such a beauty~"

"More than one~"

Ma Sandao swallowed, staring at the beauty in the car, and the other local hooligans around him, all of them were dumbfounded.
