Ming Dynasty: Half an hour after Zhu Di was furious in Chapter 415 of the main text volume of Beiping Dangzhi County.
They finally caught up with Guo An and others in front of a dilapidated wooden bridge on the edge of the Qinhuai River.
However, what surprised Liu Wen and Dai Jiu was that the Marquis of Dinghai was not only surrounded by a few people who looked like accountants, but also two people, one large and one small, dressed in fine clothes and full of majesty and nobility. p>
Surprised, Liu Wen did not take Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi seriously.
They basically know all the untouchable nobles in the capital.
These two people must be friends of Marquis Dinghai from Beiping.
However, the Marquis of Dinghai was too impatient. He brought two friends to watch and show off his mere 1,000 houses and 20,000 acres of fertile land!
What a complacent person!
With a subconscious glance from the corner of his mouth, Liu Wen still stepped forward with a respectful face and greeted Guo An.
"I'm going to see Marquis Dinghai!"
"Liu Zhixian, please rise!"
Guo An smiled gently and said to Liu Wen: "Liu Magistrate, across the street is where our restaurant in Jiangjun Mountain is!"
Liu Wen subconsciously looked at Dai Jiu beside him.
Dai Jiu nodded quickly.
Liu Wen then replied: "Reporting to Mr. Hou, the other side of the river is where Mr. Hou's restaurant is!"
Guo An nodded slightly, "As long as you're not wrong!"
Just when Liu Weng was about to explain further, a fat man in front of him said with disgust: "Teacher, why is this place so remote and barren?
Doesn’t it mean that your thousand towns are all homes with many laborers, and your twenty thousand fields are also fertile and fertile fields?
Why doesn’t it look like it here?”
Did all the students bring them? They are all the same!
Liu Wen slandered and said quickly: "Master Hou has learned from his mistakes that the food towns on the other side are indeed homes of many laborers!"
Zhu Di said with a straight face and impatient expression: "Okay, don't talk too much, just tell me how to get there!"
"Walking on the bridge..."
Liu Wen said subconsciously.
However, after seeing what the wooden bridge looked like, he just shut up.
A few worn-out wooden boards and sticks were tied to a few worn-out ropes. Even if there were no pedestrians on it at the moment, the broken-down wooden bridge was still swaying.
If a person goes up, he will inevitably fall down.
Liu Wen quickly said: "Master Hou, don't worry, we must have found the wrong bridge!"
After saying that, he hurriedly looked at Dai Jiu behind him.
Dai Jiu said: "My Lord, you have forgotten that the Qinhuai River is too wide. There is no stone bridge built this time. If you want to cross here, you need to take a ferry!"
Liu Wen said quickly: "Yes, yes, please forgive me, Lord Marquis. I am too busy and confused. You need to take a ferry to get from here!"
Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but glance at Liu Wen with disgust. His ability was inferior to that of the caravan manager of Prince Yan's Mansion in Peking.
This made Liu Wen angry.
Guo An nodded slightly and was too lazy to speak.
He was now convinced that even if this guy wasn't plotting against him behind his back, he must be an insider.
"Master Marquis, the ferry is here!"
At this time, a guard walked over quickly.
A three-foot-long ship came down from the upper reaches and headed towards the group of people.
There are all familiar faces on the boat.
It’s not just the caravan under Prince Yan’s Mansion in Peking.
A group of people on the boat were overjoyed when they saw Zhu Di and Guo An.
However, with the secret instructions from the previous guards, no one shouted at will.
Liu Wen on the side felt relieved and at the same time couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
It would be great if there was no ferry!
However.
Although Liu Wen was full of reluctance, he still followed Guo An and others. At a river bank, several people carefully boarded the ferry and headed to the other side.
……
"Huh?"
After landing on the shore and looking around, the faces of Zhu Di, Guo An and others suddenly darkened.
"May I ask County Magistrate Liu, where is my thousand-eight city?"
"This..."
Liu Wen was startled again and his face was at a loss.
In front of me, not a single person can be seen.
As for fertile land, there is not even an acre of it.
On the side, the household clerk Dai Jiu also looked slightly startled, but he quickly came to his senses.
Look at the government officials behind you.
The officials' faces paled, and they quickly said: "Master Marquis, Lord of the County, this is the bank of the river, and all the farmers live there!"
"Inside?"
Liu Wen's face became a little pale and he quickly said: "Why don't you lead the way quickly!"
The yamen servant said with a confused look on his face: "Your Majesty, those farmers are all in the mountains, and there are also villages in the distance!
How about letting the villain call them all out..."
Liu Wen hurriedly looked at Guo An, "What does the Marquis mean?"
Guo An said with a sneer: "We want to see for ourselves that Liu Zhixian County has chosen thousands of choices to give us, the candidate of Dinghai who was conferred by His Majesty, the food town!"
Liu Wen shuddered subconsciously and regretted it.
He didn't expect that those people would be so bold? So crazy!
"You will lead the way quickly!"
On the side, Zhu Di had a dark face and said coldly to the government officials.
The government officials were about to retort, but after meeting Zhu Di's gaze, for some reason, their hearts trembled. They did not dare to say a word and hurriedly led the way.
