Chapter 170: The King of Xiong'an

The Xing'an County Magistrate and the County Magistrate entered the room and saw Qin Guan bowing together, "Xing'an County Magistrate Ye Jing, and Xing'an County Magistrate Lai Feng met the magistrate."

"You two don't need to be polite. We met for the first time, but I didn't expect to be at the post station. Let me introduce you to the new Lin'an County Magistrate Chen Yichen. We are a Jinshi and a fellow townsman, so we took office together."

Qin Guan said that the information content is very sufficient.

Ye Jing and Lai Feng turned to greet Shen Yichen.

County Magistrate Ye said: "Sir, this place is only twenty miles away from Xing'an County. We arranged a place for adults to stay and rest in the county town. It is better than this inn. At the same time, we arranged the best restaurant to welcome adults."

Qin watched the other party and smiled and said, "I will go to Xing'an County, but let's forget it today. You have arrived in a hurry and probably haven't had dinner yet. Let Cui Yicheng prepare more. Let's set up a table to meet and have a banquet here. You two will tell me about the situation in Xing'an County."

Ye Jing and Lai Feng looked at each other and had to stay.

The wine and food were placed, and a few people were having a chat while eating. Ye Jing told Qin Guan about the situation in Xing'an County. There were 16,751 households in Xing'an County, totaling more than 136,000 people. The land area is about a hundred miles long and wide, which is a typical large-scale and sparsely populated type.

If it is a prosperous place in the south, within a radius of a hundred miles, the population will not be less than one million.

The situation in Xing'an County is not very good. Last time, nearly a thousand people died and thousands of people were abducted. For a long time, women were thought to have fallen into the hands of the Liao people, most of them were slaves and concubines.

Qin Guan felt very unhappy when he heard these cold numbers.

"Have those people returned to their hometowns to settle down now, and how many are still displaced?" Qin Guan asked.

"Most of them have gone back, but some have houses, fields, and no food and money. This part is still in the county or in Xiongzhou City. There are about three or four thousand people."

After saying that, County Magistrate Ye looked up at Qin Guan. Seeing that Qin Guan had no sign of fire, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The spring plowing has passed. How will they live next year in the second half of the year?" Qin Guan asked.

"This... I haven't thought of any good idea yet. We have been waiting for the prefect to take office and wait for the deployment." County Magistrate Ye replied whispering.

Qin looked at him and seemed to be another person with a good meal.

Qin Guan asked again if he knew about Lin'an County. County Magistrate Ye said: "The original County Magistrate Qu was killed by the Liao people. Now County Magistrate Yan is in charge of the work. There should be a little worse than Xing'an County."

Qin Guan now has a general understanding of the situation in his jurisdiction, that is, a mess.

Zeng Yu is an old bastard.

I found such a place for me, and I think there is nothing worse than here in the entire Zhao Kingdom, so it is really difficult for him.

Why didn't you vomit to death that day?

Qin Guan now had an impulse. If he had a burst talisman in his hand, he would have stuffed it directly into the old guy's ass.

Then it is directly detonated in the Golden Palace.

After dinner, Qin Guan asked Ye County Magistrate and County Magistrate Lai Feng to leave. After they left, Qin Guan asked Chen Yichen, "What is the surname of the county magistrate of Xing'an County?"

"Submitted to Lin, Lin Tong."

Qin Guan nodded. County Magistrate Ye did not bring the county magistrate to see him, but brought the police chief. It seemed that County Magistrate Lin was probably not in the same group as County Magistrate Ye.

Maybe Lin Tong didn’t know that he had arrived in Xing'an County today.

It’s really a small demon in the temple that has a strong wind and a shallow water.

After Magistrate Ye left the post station and got on the bus, his respectful expression just now immediately disappeared, his face became solemn, and his eyes became fascinated.

County magistrate Lai Feng came over and said, "Sir, our new magistrate seems to be difficult to deal with."

Ye Jing nodded, "Although I am young, I don't feel like a young man. I don't suddenly feel like a high-ranking official, but I'm very calm and not easy to deal with. It seems that we have to deal with it carefully in the future."

"But he was just a new arrival, and there were so many things waiting for him to deal with in Xiongzhou, and it was not easy to do anything. Haha, if he is busy, let's see how capable our new top scholar is."

"Where is the prince of Xiong'an?" Lai Feng asked.

"The prince should still be in Manxianglou, let's go there now."

The carriage was running fast all the way, and soon returned to Xing'an County. At this time, the county town was dark and silent, and there was no sound. The carriage came to a street in the north of the city. There were several houses with large lanterns hanging on this street, and people were in and out from time to time, which seemed a little angry.

Looking up at these places, they were either restaurants or brothels. The carriage stopped in front of a brothel with a plaque full of fragrant houses. The brothel was the largest and most lively on this street. When the county magistrate and the county magistrate got off the car, the two had already changed into casual clothes.

I went up to the third floor, and the decoration here was very luxurious. A man in his thirties sat in the middle, with a very handsome appearance, especially his long and narrow eyes that attracted the most attention, making the man look even more heroic.

Four women kneeling around him were serving with all their heart.

There were more than a dozen people sitting around the room, each of whom was holding a beauty in his arms. The room was very lively and teasing sounds came from time to time.

Seeing the county magistrate and the county magistrate come in, all these people came over, but no one got up. County magistrate Ye seemed to have become accustomed to it. He walked to the man who was sitting in front of him, raised his hand and saluted, and said, "Prince Prince, we went to invite the new Qin magistrate, but the Qin magistrate said he was tired and did not come."

The man called the prince turned the wine glass in his hand, then killed it in one sip, and asked, "Didn't you say I'm here?"

"Without the orders of the prince, how dare you say it?" County Majesty Lai Feng said with a smile.

The prince threw the cup and a woman hurriedly caught it. The prince said, "Hehe, if you didn't come, you didn't come, come, prepare two best girls for each of County Magistrate Ye and County Magistrate Lai. Alright, play music and dance, and we will have fun."

The music and the teasing sounds of the ** immediately sounded again in the room.

The next day, Qin Guan's team came out again.

Today, Qin Guan and Shen Yichen both rode on horseback, walking while watching the situation on both sides. There are many hills in Hexi, and even more so in Xiongzhou. Almost half of the places are hilly and mountainous areas. Even if you can see the fields on both sides of the official road, most of them are dry land.

Shen Yichen said with some concern: "The output of this kind of dry land is very limited. The north is mostly millet, that is, millet. A good acre of good land can produce about 260 kilograms, and dry land can produce about 160 kilograms. If it catches the drought, it may only have a yield of 100 kilograms."

"A family of five serves 10 acres of land. After deducting the tax burden of the court, they will be able to cope with food. This means they are land. If they are tenant farmers, they will not even be able to feed their stomachs for a year."

Qin Guan asked, "How did you know?"

"It seems to be in the book."

Thinking about the future generations, thinking about the present, Qin Guan's mood suddenly became very heavy.

At this moment, a huge team suddenly appeared in front of the road, surrounded by hundreds of domestic slaves and maids, and a very wide carriage surrounded by Qin Guan. The carriage was probably four meters wide, the size of a room. It was made of dark yellow silk, with cloud dragon patterns embroidered on it, and eight pure white horses pulled the carriage. Each horse had a red pheasant feather dyed red, which kept shaking in the wind, which was very cool.

When Qin Guan saw this carriage, his first reaction was that
