Guangzhou Prefecture has thirteen counties under one prefecture, namely Lianzhou and Panyu County, Nanhai County, Xiangshan County, Shunde County, Xinhui County, Dongguan County, Xin'an County, Sanshui County, Longmen County, Zengcheng County, Qingyuan County, and Conghua

County, Xinning County and other thirteen counties.

Xiangshan County and Xinhui County, Xin'an County occupies the entire coastline of Guangzhou Prefecture. Xiangshan County is located in the middle and is on the west side of the Pearl River Estuary. Its geographical location is quite superior.

It is worth mentioning that in the 14th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Xiangshan County changed its township to Fangdu, and a total of ten houses were set up. They are: Renhoufang, Liangdu, Longyandu, Denengdu, Four-character Du, and Large-character Du

Du, Gu characters, Gongchangdu, Dalandu, Huangqidu, Huangliangdu.

Xiangshan County Government is located in Renhoufang. This Renhoufang does not build a city, but only symbolic earth walls, so there is no so-called Xiangshan City. This 10 houses are adjacent to each other, and they are connected together like villages.

The magistrate Li Jialiang is nearly forty years old, has fair skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a square and good official face. He is the age when he is young and strong, and he is also the age when he wants to do things the most.

Last year, he was a Jinshi from the Enko Wuwu Department and was much more prestigious than those juren magistrates. Because he had no connections in the officialdom, Fuxian in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was directly out of reach and was assigned to Xiangshan County as magistrate.

At the beginning, he was very lucky and satisfied, and felt that he had picked up a good job. After all, Xiangshan County belongs to Guangzhou Prefecture, so he must not be much worse.

But he was soon poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water. He clearly remembered how shocked it was to see that there was no city in Xiangshan County, and how disappointed it was to stand at the entrance of the county government.

The county yamen is small and shabby. When he walked into it, he smelled a bad smell, which made him think that he had come to a dilapidated temple. Even after being taken care of by the yamen, the weeds in the yard were cleaned up, but it was still difficult to cover up the county yamen.

Shabby facts.

This is the case in the world. When you are unable to resist, you can only accept it silently. However, Li Jialiang does not have the ability to resist, so he naturally has to choose the arrangement of fate.

The same is true. He became the magistrate of this poor county town and started his official career.

After enjoying the glory of the Golden List title, his life suddenly returned to normal. After figuring out the situation in Xiangshan County, he felt a deep loss in his heart. Ten years of hard work were exchanged for a kind of skilled woman who could not cook without rice.

Feelings.

The finances of Xiangshan County are very embarrassing. Although they are better than the finances of the Ming Dynasty, which cannot afford the salaries of officials, they are not much better.

Xiangshan County is vast and sparsely populated, which is a good thing, but because it is close to the rivers and seas, people would rather fish than farming and sericulture. Especially in the territory, it is very easy to attract Japanese pirates, and most people choose to fish in the Pearl River and the West River, but are not willing to do so.

Carry out cultivation.

However, the Ming Dynasty has always been based on agriculture. As a magistrate who was born in Jinshi, he naturally wanted to persuade people to teach agriculture and sericulture.

He thought so and worked hard. But after some hard work, he found that this was not a good person. Although he agreed, everything was the same when he turned around.

The same is true. The Xiangshan County Government's autumn grain collection quota last year was only 50%. According to the current system of the court, it was no longer possible for him to be promoted in three years.

The most important thing is that the current county government has extremely poor financial income and is powerless in everything.

Although Xiangshan County has rented the Haojing to Folang Jiren for 500 taels, the money has only passed through the Xiangshan County Government. The land was loaned from the Xiangshan County Government, but it can't be made of a penny.

Unlike many poor counties, the people in Xiangshan County seem to be poor.

Although many merchant ships emerge along the Pearl River and a large amount of goods arrive directly at Haojing, many merchants choose to pass by Gongchangdu, west of Xiangshan County, or transport goods from Xijiang to Haojing.

The same is true. The local people seem to have gained some benefits and their lives are pretty good.

However, this seems to have little to do with the county government. Xiangshan County Government still cannot get any benefits, and the finances are extremely embarrassing. He is still a clever wife and cannot cook without rice.

In his opinion, although Xiangshan County belongs to Guangzhou Prefecture, it is still separated by a Shunde County along with Guangzhou City. This really becomes an existence that grandma does not love and uncle does not love.

The weather in February is still cruel and cold, and a wind blows into the newly built wooden shed, making people shivering.

Li Jialiang returned to reality, sitting upright on the platform, and below were students who answered questions in a regular manner. He was still the magistrate of Xiangshan, and now he is following the county magistrate of the world, and is presided over the annual county of the Ming Dynasty.

Try to try and try to win the country's materials.

Just looking at the scholar who was gritting his teeth and enduring the cold, he sighed softly.

So what can I do if I overcome all obstacles? In the end, I will not just become a poor magistrate, sit in this broken thorn, and endure the cold and hungry with everyone?

To be honest, if he made up his mind to be greedy, he would still get some benefits. But he still wanted to be a clean official, a good official who deserves his conscience and the people.

He would rather continue to persuade people to study agriculture and sericulture, and he was rolled by everyone than do those miserable things.

As he was about to enter the evening, he returned from the exam in the East City. After putting the test papers in the signing room, he raised his foot to the back house. As soon as he arrived at the courtyard, he saw his wife hurriedly greeting him with a letter, and

He said happily: "Master, you are back just in time!"

"What's the matter?" Li Jialiang was a little confused, not thinking that any good things would fall on him.

"This is a letter I just sent, take a look!" This woman was in her early thirties. Although she was not charming in the country, she was in the middle and superior position and could be regarded as a beautiful woman.

"Whose letter?" Li Jialiang reached out to take the envelope and asked in confusion.

The beautiful woman held her sleeves in her hand, stretched out her jade fingers to point at the sky and smiled: "West!"

"Lin Wenkui's letter?" Li Jialiang was overjoyed and hurriedly opened the letter.

Among his more than 300 students, what he admires most is Lin Wenkui. Not only is his talented, his poems he wrote were amazing, and he has achieved unprecedented fame, but his local governance is even more impressive.

.

In less than half a year, he repeatedly solved strange cases, rehabilitated several unjust cases, and eliminated hundreds of Japanese pirates. This is also true. He won the hearts of the people and was praised by the people of Leizhou as the Lin Lei Gong.

As for Lin Wenkui's future, not to mention that he has a mentor as his backer, his background alone focuses on a bright future.

After realizing the financial difficulties of Xiangshan County, he also understood in his heart that only this person has the ability to pull him out of this mud, and is the only thick thigh that he has the opportunity to hug.

"What is the letter saying?" The beautiful woman was also curious and leaned over and asked.

"He is coming to Xiangshan County!" Li Jialiang handed her the letter, his eyes shining brightly.
