After divorcing my ex-husband, I became the princess of the county

Chapter 273

Zhao Heng wrote letters to everyone in Chang'an, one letter after another.

Lu Wanzhi's long hair was dry after taking a bath, seeing Zhao Heng still writing letters: "It took you so long to write letters? Why are you still writing?"

Zhao Heng put a letter in front of Lu Wanzhi and said: "It's almost finished, this letter is for the imperial grandmother, this is for the grandmother, this is for our parents, this is for the elder brother..."

Lu Wanzhi said, "What are you writing to my elder brother for?"

Zhao Heng said: "Before the marriage, I promised my elder brother to take good care of you, so naturally I have to write to him to reassure him, and it's the first time you leave Chang'an, I will definitely write to our parents to reassure them.

Also, this letter is for Uncle Huang, and this letter is for Auntie. Can you help me count the number of words in these two letters?I'm afraid that if anyone misses a word, my aunt and uncle Huang will be jealous. "

Lu Wanzhi smiled lightly and said, "How can Your Majesty and Your Majesty be jealous because your letter is missing a word? Do you think everyone is jealous like you every day."

Lu Wanzhi saw that Zhao Heng wrote letters to both Gu Qingchi and Meng Ao, "Who are you writing to?"

Zhao Heng said: "Write to Brother Huang, this time Brother Huang can call the best shadow guard around him, Shadow, to protect me, I will write to Brother Huang to report his safety."

Lu Wanzhi smiled and said, "His Royal Highness is really kind to you."

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "Brother Huang is the best brother in the world."

Seeing that Zhao Heng stopped writing, Lu Wanzhi said, "You can rest now, I don't know how many cases I will be busy with tomorrow."

Lu Wanzhi originally thought that Zhao Heng fell asleep immediately after touching the pillow, but he never thought that after a day of dealing with chickens, ducks, cats, sheep, and trivial matters, he would still have the strength...

Lu Wanzhi looked at Zhao Heng in front of her and said, "Aren't you tired?"

Zhao Heng whispered in Lu Wanzhi's ear: "When a hungry wolf meets a fat duck, no matter how tired it is, it will eat up the fat duck."

Lu Wanzhi bit Zhao Heng's ear: "Zhao Heng, don't call me a duck again... hiss!"

Lu Wanzhi clasped Zhao Heng's shoulder tightly with Kodan-painted fingers, "What are you doing?"

Zhao Heng said: "My husband."

Lu Wanzhi called out "husband", thinking that Zhao Heng would let her go, but after the "husband" came out, she could only let him eat it up.

……

The next morning, Lu Wanzhi couldn't get up, but Zhao Heng woke up refreshed before he arrived.

The people in this yamen came only a lot, and Zhao Heng knew that Si Yan was playing tricks behind it, so he could only hold back his temper and go up to the hall.

People going to court today is still just like the trivial things of yesterday.

After a while, Zhao Heng's eyes lost all light.

When having lunch, seeing the look in Zhao Heng's eyes, Brother Du didn't even dare to play with Zhao Heng.

Lu Wanzhi took a duck leg to Zhao Heng and said, "This salted duck is delicious, try it."

Zhao Heng sighed and said: "It turns out that being the magistrate of the county is like this. Si Yan will definitely not let him go after the king of this county finishes his work."

Zhao Heng took a bite of the duck leg, and suddenly remembered the river yesterday, "By the way, I don't know if those dye houses have drained sewage into the river. It's blue, red, purple, black and colorful. I'll go and see it after lunch. Look."

Zhao Heng had a hasty lunch, and took Lu Wanzhi to the river not far from the Yamen. It was still colorful, and there were all kinds of colors. Looking for the color of the river, he went upstream, and saw that the upstream was full of red water. , sending out a smell.

"Please do me a favor. My house is not bad for 100 couples. It's not far from Shanyin City, and it's even closer to the yamen. There are bustling teahouse streets beside it."

"Hey, Brother Chen, the teahouse next to you has closed down so many times. This dyeing workshop has been open for a year. The houses here are not worth 100 taels. The people in Shanyin are born on water. The house in front of the door How can people live in such sewage after all?"

Seeing the two people in front of him, Zhao Heng asked, "Are you here to sell a house?"

Seeing Zhao Heng in official uniform, the owner of the house knelt down and said, "Master County, I really can't live here, so I have to sell the house.

So many dyeing workshops have been opened here one after another inland throughout the year, and the sewage from the dyeing workshops is poured into the river.

Cleaning clothes is not a hassle on weekdays. Even washing dishes and vegetables has to go through several alleys. Now they have intensified, and there are sewage from dyeing workshops in the surrounding lakes and rivers. "

Zhao Heng said: "Shanyin City has such a beautiful scenery, and they really can't let them destroy it any longer. This county magistrate will go back and issue a ban on opening dyeing workshops in Shanyin City of Yuezhou."

Lu Wanzhi looked at the dyeing workshops on both sides of the strait, and said to Zhao Heng: "I counted the number of large and small dyeing workshops here, and there are about 30 of them. Losing the dyeing workshop will definitely arouse public resentment."

Zhao Heng said: "But if you don't turn it off, there will be public grievances."

The people nearby heard what Zhao Heng said, and they followed up repeatedly: "Yes, the opening of the dyeing workshop is really delaying things, and the people around are all complaining. The previous county magistrate said that he couldn't handle this matter. My lord, presumably the magistrate must have a solution."

The news of the county magistrate's arrival spread to the ears of the surrounding people, and the people who were having lunch came and knelt down again and again.

"Grandfather of the county, look at the food cooked in my house. I am the only one in my house who is limping and dying. My son and bride are busy earning money on weekdays, and I don't come back until the sunset.

In the past, there were lakes and rivers behind the gate, and it was convenient for me to fetch water for washing, but now they have discharged sewage in various rivers, and I have to walk a long way to fetch water back with a limp leg. The upstream is also miserable. . "

"In summer, in the past, there was a river at the door of the house. Before and after dinner, one could wash at the door of the house, but now one has to bring up the well water to bask in the sun during the day. gone."

"It's good that his family has a big well. In the past, the river was convenient and there was a big well next to it. Most of our families didn't dig a well. Now it costs ten taels of silver to dig a well!

Who can dig a well with ten taels of silver!I have to walk a long way every day to fetch water. There are rivers in front of and behind the house, but I have to walk such a long way, alas! "

Zhao Heng asked: "Didn't you say the big water well?"

"This big well was surrounded by Si's dyeing workshop and we were not allowed to use it. The magistrate of the county, the dyeing workshop can't help but we really can't survive."

Zhao Heng glanced at Lu Wanzhi and said: "Zhizhi, I think dyeing workshops should be banned. This is where the common people live. People who excrete sewage have a hard time, so we must not let them go!"

Lu Wanzhi nodded and said, "It should be banned."

Zhao Heng asked Chang Sheng to go back to the yamen, called Xu Butou and the arresters, and the seals and prohibitions, and Zhao Heng went to Si's dyeing workshop, "Starting today, the dyeing workshop here is not allowed to open again. , The dyeing workshop will never be banned."

As soon as Zhao Heng said this, many owners of the dyeing workshop came out, and the leader Wang Zhi said with a stern face: "Who said that dyeing workshops are forbidden here, have you asked your grandfather?"

Zhao Heng raised his eyebrows and said: "I have never dared to call the king of this county grandpa in this life!"

Wang Zhi looked at the new magistrate of the prefecture in front of him, and said: "Xiaozhi County, you must know that the silk and satin in this world come from Jiangnan, the silk and satin from Jiangnan come from Suhu, and the silk and satin from Suhu come from Shanyin. One of the best, if you don't let us open the dyeing workshop here, there may be no brocade cloth to wear in this world, can you, a mere county king, take this responsibility?"

Zhao Heng listened to the four characters of a mere county king. Are all merchants in Shanyin too arrogant? Si Yan’s little stepmother said she was the god of Yuezhou. Today, a merchant dares to say that he is a mere county king?
In Chang'an, where did he, Zhao Heng, not walk sideways?
