In the carriage, Luo Zhang was as calm as water after listening to the county magistrate's story, but his heart was filled with rage.

He never expected that the one who would set him back would be Changsun Chong!

We must know that he has no grudge against Changsun Chong, so why did he set himself up?

Is it because of Fang Jun? Or is it because he knew about the feud between the Luo family and the Changsun family?

It would be fine if it were the former, but if it was the latter...

Thinking of this, Luo Zhang's eyes narrowed.

Luo Zhang didn't say anything. The county magistrate, who was kneeling in the carriage and kowtowing, was about to burst into tears.

Brother, uncle, I’ve been like this, why don’t you forgive me?

Why didn't you tell yourself to stop? Is there still resentment?

But if you have grievances, you go to Magistrate Nama or Changsun Chong. Why do you want to force me to become a small magistrate?

If I keep knocking like this, I will be finished!

However, although he didn't want to knock anymore, his movements did not stop. The county magistrate was afraid that Luo Zhang would not let him go because of his bad attitude.

There were constant banging and banging noises from the carriage, which made the driver, the master and the master who followed the carriage very confused.

They wanted to ask the county magistrate what was going on, but the magistrate didn't say anything and they didn't dare to speak rashly. They could only imagine that Luo Zhang and the magistrate were doing unspeakable things in the carriage.

If Luo Zhang knew that these people would think this way, he might have the urge to strangle them to death.

Dude, I'm just thinking about something. It's the county magistrate who keeps kowtowing and it's none of his business. This Tang Dynasty man really knows how to figure things out!

It took a long time for Luo Zhang to come back to his senses. At this time, the county magistrate's eyes were blurred and he was about to die. He kowtowed mechanically with tenacity.

It took him so many years to sit on the position of county magistrate. How could he lose it so easily? As long as he still has breath, he will not give up. Isn't it just kowtow? If kowtow can solve the problem, then it doesn't matter!

Seeing the county magistrate's red and swollen forehead like a steamed bun, Luo Zhang thought that the longevity star had descended to earth.

"Let me choke you, you are really stubborn. You won't stop unless your employer and management tell you to stop. If you kowtow to death, you will really be a crotch of shit. If it's not shit, it's shit!"

At that moment, Luo Zhang hurriedly stopped the county magistrate's behavior. When Luo Zhang asked him to stop knocking, the county magistrate burst into tears and secretly sighed that his behavior finally touched the man in front of him. It was true that the emperor lived up to his wishes and knocked.

What a few heads, it’s all worth it!

The county magistrate Luo Zhang understood what he was thinking, but he probably wouldn't do this if it were him. Official position is important, but how can life be important? People are already dead, and official positions are useless!

After resting for a while, the county magistrate finally regained his breath.

Only then did Luo Zhang speak: "The past things have been wiped out. As long as you don't offend me and look after the fiefdom for me, the benefits will naturally come to you!"

Luo Zhang's words made the county magistrate's eyes light up, and his excited forehead no longer hurt!

Changsun Chong has thick legs, but those legs are too thick and he can't hold him up. The legs in front of him are not thin, but he can hold them up. Moreover, what they ask for is not too much. He is just looking at the fiefdom. This book

It's just a matter of one's own authority, so why bother talking about it?

Besides, Luo Zhang is a Qianlong, a man with a bright future. If you follow him, you might be able to be like Magistrate Ma, and you will have opportunities to go further in the future!

The more he thought about the county magistrate, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but touch the wound on his forehead, and he grimaced in pain.

Luo Zhang looked at it with a speechless expression on his face.

After thanking him profusely, the county magistrate calmed down.

"My fiefdom won't be a barren land this time, right?" Luo Zhang said jokingly.

"No, how is that possible!" The county magistrate was startled and explained, shaking his head like a rattle.

"That's good. I wonder where my fiefdom is this time?"

"Your fiefdom this time is in the upper reaches of the Bahe River. The land there is fertile and the products are rich. It is the best land in this area. The most important thing is that it is a bend of the Bahe River. The land is full of nutrients and has no shortage of nutrients.

The water source, even if there is a drought, has nothing to do with that land, so no matter what you plant there, you can get a good harvest!" the county magistrate explained hurriedly.

It is said that when he was about to admit his mistake to Luo Zhang, he searched Lantian County and finally found this piece of land that had not been divided.

However, the county magistrate did not say anything, that is, when there is a flood, part of the land there will be submerged.

It's not that he didn't say it, but that he didn't think it was necessary. Floods might not happen there for decades, but droughts often happened, so he didn't think it was a problem!

The carriage swayed for an hour before everyone arrived at the upper reaches of the Bahe River where Luo Zhang's fiefdom was located!

After getting off the carriage, Luo Zhang walked to a hill and looked out into the distance. His eyes lit up and he thought to himself, this fiefdom is so good, it's so good.

One mile ahead is the Bahe River. As the county magistrate said, there is a bend here. It is this bend that slows down the flow of the Bahe River here, and the water surface here is very wide. If it is in

What would happen if a dock were built here?

The more I think about Luo Zhang, the more excited I become. This is a natural port.

He is familiar with history and knows that there are a lot of goods coming in and out of Chang'an every day, but most of them are transported by land, which is time-consuming and laborious. Sometimes if you encounter bandits, horse thieves, or victims of disasters, all the goods on this trip will be lost.

When you go in, the strong ones can still hold on, but the weak ones are immediately closed. How many shop owners fainted from crying in the store!

But what if the goods are transported by water?

You must know that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal started from Luoyang and ended in Yuhang. This was thanks to Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty. This is the most praiseworthy thing he did during his reign.

However, the construction of the Chengye Canal and the Baiye Canal consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, which made the Sui Dynasty angry and resentful, and eventually led to its demise.

The dynasty fell, but the canal had no impact, it was just not developed and used.

What would happen if a port were built here?

In this way, a large amount of goods can be transported from Luoyang or Yuhang, where they can be transported by horse-drawn carriages and sent to Chang'an City, which consumes the most goods in the Tang Dynasty.

This not only saves time and speed in transportation, but also reduces the threat of horse thieves, bandits, victims, and disasters. You can imagine how popular this wharf will be after it is built!

Even if other places want to follow suit and build docks on the Bahe River, they don’t have such unique geographical conditions!

What a dock requires is that the water area is wide enough to accommodate large ships, the water flow is slow enough for ships to dock, and the draft is deep enough for ships to carry more cargo without being stranded.

The depth of the water is not yet known, but it should be quite deep. All three of these are available. How could it be found in other places?

Compared with here, there is no competition anywhere else!

As the county magistrate led people to measure the land, Luo Zhang walked towards the river bank.

When he came to the river bank, Luo Zhang started walking along the river bank, counting his steps as he walked!

After he completed all the turns, he came to the magistrate.

"That Magistrate Liu, which piece of land is mine?" Luo Zhang asked.

Magistrate Liu hurriedly pointed to a piece of flat and fertile land in front of him and said, "Sir, this is the land you see. Once the chief register has measured it and signed it, this land will be yours!"

Luo Zhang nodded. If there was no natural port, this would indeed be the best land, but now it is different. Compared with the benefits brought by the natural port, the output of this land seems insignificant.

"If I want to change land, I wonder if that's possible?"

What Luo Zhang said were words of inquiry, but in Magistrate Liu's ears they were words that could not be refused. But he couldn't understand why Luo Zhang wanted to change the land? Isn't the land here good? You know this

This is the best land within a radius of dozens of miles!

But after Luo Zhang said this, it was hard for him to refute. He is an adult, so he can change it if he wants. As long as it does not exceed the number of acres, any change will be fine!

"Okay, sir, if you want to change that piece of land, just say a word and I will have the chief registrar measure it right away and keep it to your satisfaction!" Magistrate Liu said with a flattering smile.

Luo Zhang was very satisfied with Magistrate Liu's attitude and was not polite to him. He pointed directly at the river bank he had walked along before and said, "Did you see that river bank?"

Magistrate Liu nodded, "I saw it!"

"Along the length of the river bank I walked, it covers fifty acres forward and four hundred and fifty acres backward. All of them are classified into my fiefdom. Remember, you must divide it according to what I said.
Chapter completed!
