Zhang Lie gave Lin Xu a thumbs up, his eyes full of admiration!
Zhang Lie has never convinced anyone since he was a child, but in the past few months, he has been completely impressed by Lin Xu!
At the same time, he was a little puzzled, why didn’t he find his brother-in-law so awesome before?
Within the Suzhou Prefecture, Jiangling is a relatively remote county, but this kind of remoteness is relatively important. After all, it is also a county under Suzhou Prefecture. Suzhou Prefecture is a prosperous city that can be found in the country, and it is still the three national ones.
One of the big textile industry centers!
Therefore, compared with most places in the country, Jiangling is a prosperous place!
Nowadays, the total population of the entire Daning Dynasty is between 200 million and 300 million, while the total population of a small county like Jiangling exceeds 500,000, which is enough to prove it.
After all, in today's era, population represents productivity.
The more people there are, the stronger the productivity and the richer the place will be.
There is a custom in Jiangling County that opens the market every ten days.
In other words, the tenth, twenty and thirty days of each month are the days when the market is open. Not only local vendors will gather in the county government on this day to sell goods, but also some vendors in nearby counties.
, and they will also bring goods to the market.
Therefore, every day when the market opens, Jiangling County Government is very lively!
Especially in the market, there are even more crowds of people!
According to the laws of the Daning Dynasty, the population sold belongs to the same goods and can be traded freely in the market. On the day of the opening of the market, some gangsters from other places will also bring their "goods" to the market.
Jiangling County comes to peddlers.
This is also the reason why Lin Xu chose to come to the county government to buy slaves today.
On days like the opening of the market, it is obviously inappropriate for Lin Xu and the others to ride to the market.
It wasn't because they were afraid of being so frightened, but the main reason was that there were too many people in the market, so it was too inconvenient for them to ride horses, so they put the horses in an inn and asked the boss to feed the grass well and pick them up when they came back.
The four of them talked and laughed, and walked happily.
It is the first time Lin Xu has been to the market since he came to this world, which is quite interesting.
"Brother-in-law, the county government office is ahead!"
Zhang Lie pointed to a grand house not far ahead and said to Lin Xu.
"Um......"
Lin Xu nodded. In fact, when he went to Xu Nianmin's mansion last time, he passed by the county government office.
I have to say that the yamen of Jiangling County is indeed quite grand, especially the two stone lions more than two meters high at the door, which are even more domineering!
However, compared with the Xu Mansion not far away, the county government office seems slightly inferior!
This is the mountain high and the emperor is far away. If a small seventh-rank county magistrate dared to live in such a grand house at the foot of the emperor, or at a famous city like Su or Hang, had he dared to live in such a grand house, I would have long known how many times he had been impeached!
Just as I was thinking about this, a sound of "dongdong..." hitting drums suddenly came from the front of the county government office!
"The drum of injustice! Someone beat the drum of injustice!"
Zhang Lie has always been a person who likes lively and said curiously: "Someone beats the drums of grievances on such a good day as the opening of the market. It must be a huge grievance! Brother-in-law, let's go over and take a look!"
"Okay!"
Anyway, if you have to pass by the county government office, then go over and see who is beating the drum and making trouble.
