03 The time of life and death
Heishui City is indeed a trading city with rich minerals, fertile land and gatherings of merchants, just as Wu Anguo described it, but it must have a prefix...
Decades ago!
Wu Anguo, who also found something wrong, was stunned.
He murmured to himself, "Why, this is impossible, those people said to me not like this." This kind of thing is like after being cheated, he could not believe the facts in front of him, and kept repeating the words he tried to convince himself.
Ye Xuan was also a little surprised at first, but it was completely calmed down in a moment. Although it was a bit incredible, everything was reasonable.
Just imagine, if you can even do something like pretending to be a bandit and killing the roots, how could you really give yourself a rich fief?
Hei Shui City is far away from the power center of the Great Shang Dynasty. It is absolutely very easy to just do something and modify the period of various information.
"Old Wu, don't care about these things. As long as we are still alive, everything will be fine." Ye Xuan saw Wu Anguo's distraught look, and couldn't help but turn around and pat the other person's shoulder to comfort him.
"But, young master, I..."
Wu Anguo was even more ashamed when he heard this. Because the young master was a "fool" at the time, the matter of choosing a fiefdom was handled by himself.
I originally wanted to choose a good place to make the young master worry-free in the second half of his life, but I didn't expect that I would be very cautious and still get into the trap.
"I haven't said it, don't mention this matter again!"
Ye Xuan raised his hand and stopped Wu Anguo without any doubt. He turned his head to look at the naked earth that was connected to the horizon, and his calm expression showed a strong sense of confidence.
"Even if it's a Jedi, I have a way to survive. Now it's just a wasteland. It's just a trivial matter. Mr. Wu, please rest assured to heal your wounds for the time being, so don't worry too much."
"The young master has really grown up. I believe that the elder lady's spirit in heaven will definitely..."
Wu Anguo's expression seemed to have fulfilled his long-cherished wish, and he almost burst into tears again. He coughed suddenly for a while, and the wound burst out, making Ye Xuan fucked and finally fell asleep peacefully.
Alas, I am very old and still injured. Why are you excited? Can’t you rest well?
No matter how much he complained, Ye Xuan still admired Wu Anguo's absolute loyalty. After helping the other party cover the quilt, he returned to the front of the shaft and continued driving the carriage.
The traveling time comes with the benefit of a faith exchange store, and now there is another legitimate independent territory. Even if it is ten times more desolate, it is definitely not a big deal for Ye Xuan.
Thinking about the past when I got up earlier than a chicken, slept later than a dog, ate worse than a pig, worked more than a donkey, had unlimited pressure and unlimited income, and it was all the decisions of others...
Now that I have the opportunity to be my boss, I must live a wonderful life!
It’s just a pity that if I traveled through time after the New Year, I would at least be able to spend the New Year with my parents. Fortunately, I am still healthy and have paid for the New Year’s goods. I hope...
With these mixed thoughts in his mind, Ye Xuan finally arrived in Heishui City when there was still sunset in the sky.
Originally, Ye Xuan had already made some preparations for the decline of Heishui City, but he did not expect that the actual situation would be worse.
Ye Xuan just informed him that before he entered the city, the original city lord of Heishui City taught him a vivid lesson.
First, the original city lord of Hei Shui City rushed over and questioned Ye Xuan angrily.
"You are Ye Xuan, the one who came to accept Hei Shui City? You should have arrived ten days ago, why is it so late?"
Second, after seeing the fiefdom document, the original city lord of Heishui City couldn't wait to take out two items.
"Okay, I don't want to hear your explanation. This is the seal of the Lord of Hei Shui City. You can take it first. This is the document handed over by Hei Shui City. You can sign it quickly."
Third, the original city lord of Heishui City, with a group of subordinates who had been prepared long ago, roared away.
Ye Xuan held the seal of the Heishui City Lord in one hand and the pen in the other hand. As for the handover documents, the original city lord had been cherished and valued, the bright smile on the other person's face rushed towards the beautiful distance as if he had regained his life.
It was almost dark, and I didn't even want to stay for a night...
Ye Xuan turned around and looked at Heishui City, with only four words in his mind.
Garbage!
The broken city gates, broken city walls, broken roads, and even the soldiers garrisoned were pale and thin, and they looked like they were worn and dressed.
Ye Xuan didn't mind what he saw at all, but instead felt a little excited.
Even the working emperor is just working after all, so how can he make the decision?
From now on, this is my fiefdom and my city, and no one can take it away!
The former city lord of Heishui City took a group of subordinates away, while another group of officials stayed.
It’s not that they are unwilling to leave, but that their home is here, and there is no order to transfer, and once they leave their official position without permission, they will be punished according to the law.
Among them, the financial officer Pei Qian is currently the highest position under the city lord. After leading Ye Xuan to the city lord's mansion, he settled the injured Wu Anguo, and then welcomed the new city lord.
A bowl of clear soup, a few dishes, a pot of rice, that's all.
Ye Xuan did not raise his chopsticks immediately, but looked at Pei Qian with a somewhat awkward expression and asked calmly.
"Cashman, did you eat it?"
Pei Qian was a little confused. What is the problem? According to normal circumstances, those who can directly take over the lord of a city are either rich or noble. When they see such a shabby welcome banquet, they either yell and scold or leave. The new city lord's reaction...
"If you don't have food, let's go together!" Ye Xuan pointed to the stool and greeted.
"this……"
"It just so happens that the lord of this city wants to ask for some advice. You have worked in Hei Shui City for many years and should know a lot. Don't be polite. You will be your own people in the future."
Ye Xuan seemed to see the shadow of some senior employees in the office from Pei Qian.
This type of person is dedicated to his duties, obeys his duties, and works diligently. Perhaps he will be like that for the rest of his life, but he will win in peace and stability, just seeking to enjoy his old age.
If I were not traveling through time, I might become one of them in the future.
Pei Qian didn't know how he served the table. Even though he was the financial officer of Heishui City, he had never been able to see the original city lord. Not to mention the financial officer of Heishui City, even if he was the financial officer of Heishui City, he would not have been able to take a penny from him.
It can be said that this is the first time Pei Qian felt what respect is, and he felt indescribable.
Although the clear soup and side dishes in front of him were not even as good as the hair of the fast food that cost ten yuan back then, Ye Xuan did not show any picky look, but just filled his stomach first.
After the meal, the servants of the city lord's mansion brought two cups of hot water, without tea!
"Is the situation in Hei Shui City so decayed?" Ye Xuan held the water cup and felt the heat coming from the cup.
From entering Hei Shui City to this moment, he had a rough idea of what he saw and heard.
This question seemed to be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Pei Qian's expression suddenly changed. He seemed to collapse in an instant, and he said with a bitter face.
