Chapter 815 The Peerless Demon (1)

The soldiers with the rank of sergeant chief just repeated, "I advise you to pick it up, otherwise you will get a hundred yuan in cash."

Zhao Dongting still disregarded, "You dare to punish me for money. Do you know who I am?"

The sergeant remained silent, "The magistrate has an order that no one is allowed to litter in the city."

"A mere magistrate dares to care about me?"

Zhao Dongting sneered and reached out to push away the sergeant, "Get out of here for me!"

A clanging sound.

Several soldiers drew their swords.

The sergeant's face turned a little red, but he finally held back his anger, "Please don't make it difficult for us to do it. If you continue to mess around, I can only arrest the sir."

Zhao Dongting said meaningfully: "You dare to arrest me, aren't you afraid of death? Do you think Song Bitao can protect you?"

The sergeant was really hesitant, but he still said: "Where is the responsibility, what should the young master do? Let's pick up the oil paper first."

Zhao Dongting laughed loudly, suddenly no longer looked arrogant. He obediently picked up the paper scraps on the ground and walked into the city.

The soldiers guarding the city were all inexplicably confused.

Song Bitao was once a grain official in the Southern Song Dynasty, later returned to the Yuan Dynasty, and was also a grain transport official. He had no experience in governing cities. After taking office as Huazhou, he wrote to the Ministry of State and asked Lu Xiufu and others for advice on how to develop Huazhou. Zhao Dongting personally made an approval after learning about this matter, focusing on grain and business. To get rich, in addition to building roads first, the city must have a city that should have a weather, and the people can live in peace, so that they can have a happy career. In addition to this general approval, Song Bitao also highlights two points: public security and city appearance.

Now it seems that Song Bitao is obviously doing well. These city guards finally have the character of being a military officer in the court.

If it were in the past, it would be like Zhao Dongting, who was wearing a rich and jade belt. Not to mention just littering, even if he forced a robbery, how many people would dare to take care of it?

When you enter the city, you can see many stalls and vendors. There are only horizontal lines on the ground, and the stalls are placed within the horizontal lines, just like two small markets at the city gate.

Most of the shops on both sides of the street have the signs of "banyan tree tea..."

Banyan tree tea is also a specialty of Huazhou and can be preserved for a long time. It is one of the few products in Huazhou that can open up trade and trade.

Even in this hot sun, there are many vendors who have adopted the opportunity to travel between these shops and transport carriages, which are piled up.

Zhao Dongting smiled at the corner of his mouth, and he felt completely relieved since then.

Although the prosperity of Lingshui County is far from comparable to that of Haikang County, under such governance, in time, people will eventually have to embark on the road of peace and prosperity for the people.

He took Bai Yuchan, Mrs. Xu, and Hong Wutian to find an inn to sit down next to the main street.

There are most of the guests who are drinking tea and eating in the inn, and they are very busy, obviously vendors coming from other places.

When the servant came over, Zhao Dongting asked him to bring all the good wine and meat, and then asked, "Is the business easier to do now than before?"

The servant looked at Zhao Dongting’s rich young master dressed up, and was not afraid that he would come to open an inn to grab business again. He said honestly: “It’s much easier to do than before. In the past, there were so many foreign officials who came to the hall for dinner.” Speaking of this business, “Our chef was the chef in the old man’s mansion in the city and county generals. He had good skills. Now our shopkeeper counts money every night but can’t stop counting! Please wait and try the food in our inn, and you will definitely think that these silver bills are worth it.”

"good."

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "Then bring it up and try it."

All afternoon, I spent the whole afternoon drinking tea in this inn. I just looked outside from time to time.

Unexpectedly, until the sun was west, there was no movement on the street. Only more vendors rushed out from inside and outside the city.

There were more pedestrians going out for a walk after dinner, including men and women, children and the elderly. There were young men and women walking hand in hand, and the people next to them didn’t find it strange.

Mrs. Xu chuckled softly and said, "The young master once said that men and women are too cautious and advocated free love among the people. It seems that the effect has been significant now."

Zhao Dongting nodded, "I just hope that in a few years, every city in the Song Dynasty will be so good."

In recent years, Leizhou and several nearby states have been the main development place, and it is very gratifying to have such a weather, but it can also be said to be expected. As these states are obviously no longer like this.

In the fifth year of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the Song Dynasty could finally take a light breath in military affairs. Zhao Dongting's next main goal was undoubtedly to develop people's livelihood and economy in the country.

If you ignore the people's livelihood and blindly pursue military force, you will eventually be self-destruction. There are too many bloody examples in history.

After waiting for dozens of minutes, there was finally movement on the main street.

More than a hundred brightly armored light cavalry passed through the streets, and pedestrians made them to the side of the road and stopped to watch.

Afterwards, more than a hundred infantrymen were armed with guns and guarding more than ten officials wearing scarlet and green robes walked towards the city gate.

Zhao Dongting caught a glimpse of Song Bitao from afar.

The people next to the road bowed their heads.

Song Bitao led the officials and soldiers to the city gate and looked outside the city, without any other movement.

Hong Wutiandao: "Song Bitao seems to be an official who does practical things and has no intention of cramming for a moment."

"If even he can't avoid doing these things, I wouldn't dare to imagine the rest of the officials."

Zhao Dongting chuckled softly and put the broken silver on the table, "Let's go, let's go to the government office to wait for them."

You know the small things and see the magnanimity from the small things.

Zhao Dongting was obviously in a very good mood at this time. If every official of the Song Dynasty could be like Song Bitao, it would be difficult for the Song Dynasty to not prosper.

After Yue Peng led the Tiankui army into the city, Song Bitao learned that the emperor had already entered the city first and held a banquet in the government office to receive Zhao Dongting.

During the meal, Zhao Dongting was not stingy with praise, so that all the officials who could get on the table in Huazhou were blushed.

The Lingshui County Government official yamen was drinking and chatting.

And in the Yanei, Hengshanzhai Prefecture of Yongzhou, which also belongs to Guangnan West Road, there is a completely different scene.

When night fell, Hengshanzhai Government Office was silent. The vast Guang Palace built on the mountain behind the government office was also quietly hidden in the night.

Since the imperial court moved to Changsha, King Zhao of Guang has become the most well-deserved figure in Leizhou.

Logically speaking, after the government affairs were processed during the day, those officials who wanted to take the wrong steps should find ways to visit the Guangwang Mansion. However, Guangwang had strict orders and did not see any visitors at night. Not to mention these mere officials from Yongzhou, even if Tong Zhen, the transferee of Guangnan West Road, was personally seen.

As the only prince of the court, he undoubtedly has such confidence.

People in the world only think that King Guang is paying attention to health preservation, but they do not know that a ridiculous scene is taking place deep in the palace of Prince Guang, who is behind closed doors to thank guests.
