When Lin Haoming and Lao Yu finally arrived in Xilin County, it was already one month and three days after Lin Haoming ascended.
The carriage arrived at the city gate at noon. Compared with the cities we had seen before, this so-called county town was even larger. The city wall of twenty to thirty feet high was more than twice as high as the previous city, and the city gate
The soldiers who stood solemnly were also wearing exquisite armor and holding spears, which looked quite mighty.
On the way, Lin Haoming heard from Lao Yu that Xilin County is a city with a population of over 10 million, and it is also the largest city in Xilin County.
There are not many people going in and out of the city gate, but it doesn't matter if you go out of the city. If you enter the city, you have to pay a yuan stone to enter.
When Lin Haoming's carriage arrived, it was naturally impossible for these soldiers to come to collect the Yuan Stone, but the carriage had to be inspected before being released.
After Lao Yu waited for one of the soldiers to come up, he immediately took out an identity card from his arms. When the soldier saw it, he immediately smiled and respectfully sent the carriage into the city.
"Lao Yu, your identity card is not simple!" Lin Haoming waited for Lao Yu to come back from the carriage and said with a smile. After more than a month of getting along, the relationship between the two has improved a lot. Lin Haoming also knows that this Lao Yu is all
His name was Yu Zheng, but even if Lin Haoming knew about it, he still called him Lao Yu.
Xilin County can accommodate a population of tens of millions, so it is certainly not small. After entering the city gate, there is a bluestone road that is ten feet wide. On both sides of the road are pavilions of at least two or three floors, and most of them are shops.
At this time, the carriages on the road were not as fast as before, but walking slowly. When we got here, we could see many carriages on the street.
"Two such avenues in Xilin County lead to the four city gates in the southeast, northwest and west respectively, and also divide Xilin County into four parts."
"In the middle of the city is the Xilin County Government Office, where Mr. Jia lives! And the rest of the officials in Xilin County, big and small, as long as they are of high rank, live in the east of the city."
"Lao Yu, do you have a mansion there?" Lin Haoming asked.
"What a mansion, it's just a room!" Lao Yu said with a smile.
"The east of the city is where officials live, the west of the city is where the city is, and the south and north of the city are where civilians live. However, the north of the city is much better, and most of the people living there are wealthy households!"
"This Xilin County is quite simple!" Lin Haoming said casually while looking outside.
"This is just a general situation. Just like the shops on both sides of the city's avenues, the prices are no lower than those in the market. Those who can open shops here are also famous people. Brother Lin, to tell you the truth,
More than a thousand years ago, Xilin County also received an ascended monk. Less than five hundred years later, he advanced to the Taoist level, and then became a popular figure in front of Lord Jia. He owns no less than ten shops here, and not only does he not need to worry about Shi Jing
It’s not enough, and there is even a lot of wealth for cultivation!” Lao Yu said with some envy.
Lin Haoming's natural way, Yu Zheng didn't say this in vain, I'm afraid it has a lot of purpose, and he even hopes that he can get close to Jia Kai in the future.
Lin Haoming didn't say anything or show anything, but he was a little disdainful in his heart because his goal was definitely more than just a small county magistrate.
The carriage had been walking on the avenue for less than half an hour when high walls and green tiles appeared in front of it again, and an inner city that was somewhat similar to the size of an imperial city in a mortal country stood in front of them.
Lin Haoming also knows that the county government is not small, and it is reasonable to have such a scale. After all, the Xilin County government manages 90 million people.
In front of the county government office, there are two rows of soldiers standing. The soldiers here are different from those at the city gate. Not only do they have refined armor and sharp weapons, but the momentum they stand there is far from comparable to those of the soldiers at the city gate.
At this time, Lao Yu got off the carriage. He was no longer like before. Instead, he took out his identity card with a smile on his face, handed it to a soldier who came over, and said politely: "Wash Yu Zheng again, and the Ascension Pool will take care of him."
, I have now received an ascended monk who wants to meet with the county magistrate."
"It turns out it's Nurse Yu. Please wait a moment and I'll report it!" After hearing Lao Yu's report, the soldier turned around and walked over without any intention of taking anyone in.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming could only get down from the carriage and wait with Lao Yu. Fortunately, not long after, the soldier came back, and then he cupped his hands towards the two of them and said: "Master County Li already knows about this, please two
Wait in the ceremonial room!”
On the way here with Lao Yu, Lin Haoming also heard Lao Yu talk about the main officials of the county government.
In addition to the county magistrate, there are two left and right county magistrates, who are similar to the left and right prime ministers, and two left and right chief ministers, who are similar to the imperial officials.
There are two county lieutenants on the left and right, similar to Taiwei, who are in charge of military affairs. The county magistrate, Lord Bo and the county lieutenant are all officials from the seventh rank. In heaven, the left is respected, so it is also the master. In Xilin County, the official position is also from the seventh rank.
Top quality.
Although these six are all seventh-level officials, they do not have the Heaven Seal in their hands. However, those who can be promoted to the seventh-level official are themselves cultivators of the Divine Profound Realm. However, the number of Divine Profound Realms is still too large for the heaven, at least.
The number of seals is much greater than that of Tianyin, so there are also these officials with good grades and no seals.
Except for these six who are seventh-rank officials, there are no other seventh-rank officials. Under them, there are six departments of officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and work. However, in the county, they are called Liufang.
, each of the six houses is managed by three principals, one chief and two assistants, and their ranks are respectively the upper and lower eight ranks. In addition, the six houses are divided into tax department, treasury department, agricultural department, forex department, prison department, etc., etc.
There are also chiefs and deputy officers, but because the size and importance of each department are different, ranging from the eighth grade to the eighth grade, these officials are all in the Taoist realm. Although Lin Haoming is an ascended monk, he does not have the Taoist realm.
, it is impossible to hold these official positions.
At this time, the county ceremony master mentioned by the soldier was naturally the director of the ceremony house in Xilin County, and he was also the principal. If he was a deputy, he would usually be called by a surname in front of him.
After entering the gate, he passed through a city gate-like gate and entered a large square. On both sides of the square, there were three rows of houses. From time to time, people came in and out, walking around, and they followed.
The soldiers were walking towards one of the rows.
Although these houses only have one floor, they occupy a large area. The two people were soon brought to one of them, and there were two soldiers guarding the door of the house. This shows that this is also a very important place.
The soldier who brought the two people here spoke to the man guarding the door. The man went in and announced. After he came out, he looked at Lin Haoming and Lao Yu and said, "Master County Li has agreed that you two can go in!"
Hearing this, Lin Haoming immediately walked in with Lao Yu. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a strong man in his thirties who was really holding a book and reading it. Besides, there was a pretty man behind him.
The maid was making tea for him, and there was no one else.
