Front yard, in the study.

"Prince, today, news came from the south that the new Linjiang magistrate has not yet taken office and Luojiang has died." Jiang Shuangliu said in a deep voice.

The King of Qin frowned slightly: "Linjiang County?"

The King of Qin could not remember where Linjiang County was, but he knew that the death of a magistrate was not worth Jiang Shuangliu's special trip to report to him.

"Yes, Linjiang County, I'm not in office last year, it's not right. It should be the year before yesterday. I once visited Linjiang County. The previous magistrate was named Zhang Bo, and I will be transferred to Jiayuan as magistrate. I am still in Linjiang now and am waiting to hand over the new magistrate. I didn't expect that I hadn't seen anyone yet, but I heard the news of my death first."

Linjiang and Jiayuan are only three days away. The candidate sent by the Ministry of Personnel to Linjiang has not been decided for a long time. Zhang Bo had already gone to Jiayuan to take office before, and this time he returned to Linjiang to handle the handover.

When he heard Jiang Shuangliu talk about the years before yesterday, the Qin King suddenly realized and said, "Xiaqiao Town is affiliated with Linjiang County."

Jiang Shuangliu said: "Yes, but the prince may not know that Xiaqiao Town is now empty, not only Xiaqiao Town, but also Shangqiao Town, not far from Xiaqiao Town. Those people moved their families to Xiaohe Town, which is a new town, which was once a few decades ago and was desolate for many years, but now it is a prosperous scene."

From Linjiang to Xi'an, two thousand miles apart, an unknown town would not attract the attention of the King of Qin.

Of course, King Qin remembered Jiang Shuangliu's trip to the south the year before yesterday.

He asked, "Is the relocation of Linjiang County not ordered by the government?"

Jiang Shuangliu said: "This matter was indeed obtained from the government's permission at the beginning. Someone who had opened up land in Xiaohe Town, and was seen by the county government from then on, so he informed the then magistrate Zhang Bo. At that time, it was in the year of Zhang Bo's general examination. Zhang Bo was very happy. It was the emperor's wedding to reduce tax exemptions. So he encouraged the poor people to go to open up land and report it to the court. This also became Zhang Bo's political achievements during his tenure. Zhang Bo's successful promotion was related to this matter. But the matter was beyond Zhang Bo's control. A large number of people moved away, and the original desolate land became a town, but other neighboring towns became increasingly deserted. Zhang Bo regretted it too late. As soon as the order arrived, he immediately set off for Jiayuan and left the hot potato to the new magistrate. However, he did not expect that the new magistrate would die on the road."

The study room was silent for a moment, and after a long time, the King of Qin smiled and said, "This coincides with what we did in Liangyu many years ago."

Liangyu was once slaughtered by the Tartars. When the Qin King entered the vassal state, Liangyu had already become an empty city.

At that time, the King of Qin sent a thousand soldiers to Liangyu to farm and raise soldiers in Liangyu. At that time, the Tartars were invading the country and the people were in panic all day long. When they learned that there were officers and soldiers stationed in Liangyu, they came with the elderly and young people. The Liangyu guards opened the city gate and asked the soldiers to help the people build houses and take in these people who were displaced due to the war.

The people had houses, and then they divided the fields and livestock, which gradually became stable. The stability of Liangyu attracted merchants, and merchants held money and needed protection the most. They went to Liangyu one after another. With merchants, Liangyu began to prosper.

Today, Liangyu has the largest trading market in the northwest. The rare treasures from the Silk Road are sold here to all parts of Daqi. At the same time, they also sell specialties from all parts of Daqi to merchants traveling to the Silk Road in exchange for more money.

Liangyu is just the various guarantee and management silver collected every year, which is enough for the Qin King to support an army of tens of thousands of people.

Not only did King Qin think of Liangyu, but also Jiang Shuangliu and others, but Xiao Ren and Zhou Zheng, two small ones, blinked their eyes and looked at King Qin.

When they remembered, Liangyu was already a prosperous town. Even though they knew that Liangyu had been massacred, they had never witnessed the desolation of Liangyu in the past. It was not until the King of Qin mentioned that they suddenly realized.

The King of Qin seemed to remember something and said to Jiang Shuangliu: "Don't dare to be nice, the news about Xiaohe Town is very important."

Jiang Shuangliu hurriedly said, "Prince, don't dare to come back with Beizhi. This news was sent by Cui Xiaoyu."

The King of Qin was stunned and said, "One of Lao Cui's two sons? Okay, I will return to Xi'an in the future and let him see me."

Lao Cui was the most outstanding scout of the Western Qin army. Later, he was seriously injured and lame with one leg. His two sons were taken away by Jiang Shuangliu a few years ago.

The King of Qin had an impression of the two children and gave them a set of four treasures for study. After giving them the reward, he realized that none of the two children had reading materials.

After talking about the serious matter, Zhou Zheng asked, "Father, there is a banquet in the mansion today. Although all the female members are here, they are held for the Lord Zhongling County. Do you want to go and have a look?"

In terms of emotion and reason, the King of Qin wanted to go and see it.

The King of Qin said: "You and Xiaoqi go with me."

The eunuch who had been waiting by the side hurried out to communicate, saying that the King of Qin was going to Lanyue Pavilion, and the young women should avoid it.

After leaving the study room, there is a small path leading directly to the garden. Through the garden, it is Lanyue Pavilion.

This was in his palace and a banquet for the female family. Therefore, the King of Qin only brought an eunuch, not a guard.

While walking, he asked about the matter in Xiao Ren's mansion. Since Xiao Ren moved out, the King of Qin would not see him unless there was something important.

Xiao Ren said: "It's okay in the mansion. Someone cooks and washes me, and the money is enough to spend."

Zhou Zheng, who was standing beside him, smiled and said, "Xiaoqi, why do you feel like you have married a wife?"

Xiao Ren glared at him and said to King Qin: "It is the old man and servant I brought from the palace."

The King of Qin did not expect that he would explain seriously. He suddenly felt that the child was as cute as he was when he was a child, so he burst into laughter.

The eunuch who followed him was also happy. Although the seventh young master was usually taciturn, he was the one who made the prince happy the most.

At this moment, someone came towards me. The eunuch was stunned. Who came here boldly? Who in the palace didn't know that only the prince would take this path? I really don't know how to live or die.

The eunuch was about to yell and scold him. He saw clearly that a maid was running over. He said, "Bold, which yard are you from? You are so unruly. Do you want to get beaten if you hit the prince?"

The maid was startled and stopped her steps. She saw clearly the person coming towards her. She knelt on the ground with a thud.

The eunuch thought she was scared and wanted to ask for mercy. She was about to scold her and let her go away. Unexpectedly, the maid said, "Prince, please save me. I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it."

As she said that, she knelt on the ground and moved forward step by step, reaching out her hand, and actually wanted to capture the King of Qin's robe.
