Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 272

When Xu Jinyu and his friends left Lantu County again, a new county magistrate had arrived, but Lantu County was still as desolate as before.

"It will take at least ten years for this place to recover."

Ren Changfeng sighed softly.

Ren Changfeng was also optimistic about the period of ten years. With the people of Lantu County gone, the first reaction of the wealthy gentry who were released from prison after they recovered was to leave Lantu County, this cannibalistic place.

The newly arrived county magistrate of Lantu County could not stop it. The man had almost lost his life in Lantu County. There was no reason not to let him leave this sad place.

Everyone ran away. Although the land that had been sold was recovered, it was in vain without anyone.

We can only find a way to relocate some landless refugees from other places and then develop slowly.

During the days of handling the affairs of Blueprint County, Xu Jinyu and Wei An were both silent, especially Xu Jinyu, who even lost his usual active voice.

How could such a thing happen in modern society, where a county magistrate could make the people of an entire county live in misery? In ancient times, it was so easy to deceive superiors and subordinates. This was when Emperor Xuan was not so incompetent.

Princess Wuyang cried with tears in her eyes. The little princess who grew up in the deep palace and was favored had a kind heart and had never seen such a tragic scene.

The angels' convoy left Lantu County. Looking at the still desolate Lantu County, Princess Wuyang clenched her fists and said, "Tai'an, I will definitely continue to serve as this official. I will not pursue any great ideals such as leaving a name in history, but only to ensure that the people of the world do not suffer like this."

Xu Jinyu raised the corners of her lips: "Then you work hard. You are a princess and have the greatest backing. How the people of Daqian live depends on you."

"Yes!" Princess Wuyang nodded confidently.

The next moment, he was struck by Xu Jinyu's inner voice and wanted to hit Xu Jinyu on the head.

[Is Wuyang's brain suitable for being an official? But it doesn't matter. His father is the emperor, and his brother will be the emperor in the future. If he makes any trouble, there will be people to help him clean it up. At most, he will be fooled by the people below. ]

Wu Yang's round almond-shaped eyes widened: What's wrong with her brain? Both her father and mother praised her for being smart!

Following the incident in Blueprint County, word spread throughout the country that Emperor Xuan was suspicious and had spies in every county.

Memorials from local areas were sent to the capital like snowflakes, all of them expressing loyalty, and some were from officials surrendering themselves.

Feng Ping was killed!

Looking at those memorials expressing loyalty one after another, Emperor Xuan's fists on the dragon throne clenched and unclenched, loosened and clenched again, with a struggle in his mind. He was obviously a kind-hearted emperor, so he was suspicious about whether he should admit it!

After a while, Emperor Xuan let out a sigh and accepted the label of being suspicious.

As long as the people live well, it doesn't matter if you are suspicious. It's better than being a king who loses his country.

It may also be because Ren Changfeng dealt with local officials wherever he went, so Xu Jinyu and his team's journey was extremely smooth, and no county government caused any trouble.

At least not on the surface.

Until they arrived in Changlu County, they found that the beach was vast, the wind was strong, the rain was light, and the sunshine was abundant. This was the place Xu Jinyu had described the need for a salt field, and the officials in the court had specifically picked it out to build a salt field.

Wei An became busy as soon as he arrived. Changlu was a county, and Emperor Xuan attached great importance to Daqian's first salt field. He issued an imperial decree early on, asking the county magistrate of Changlu County to fully cooperate.

Therefore, Xu Jinyu and the others did not encounter any difficulties and everything went incredibly smoothly.

All they had to do was build the salt field step by step and wait for the salt to be dried, so Xu Jinyu and Wuyang had nothing to do.

The two of them wanted to go out to sea to see how vast the ocean was, but the palace maids who were accompanying them just opened their mouths and asked them to kneel down. It was too dangerous on the sea, and the palace maids were worried about letting them go out to surf.

The two men, who had nothing to do, just wandered along the coastline of Changlu County.

Because all the strong laborers from the surrounding areas were recruited here to build the salt field, everyone in the surrounding area knew the two minor officials, Xu Jinyu and Princess Wuyang.

Because they had nothing to do, they just hung around the salt field that was being built.

Wherever Xu Jinyu went, the villagers there would greet them warmly.

"Oh, you two young masters, you're out playing again!"

Xu Jinyu greeted lazily: "Yeah, we're out to play. What are you going to do?"

The old lady was stunned by Xu Jinyu's question, but she immediately remembered that her husband had said that the two junior officials at the salt field were extremely curious and wanted to touch everything they saw.

The old lady shook the wooden basin in her hand and said, "I didn't do anything, just got something to feed the chickens."

Xu Jinyu's attention was immediately attracted by the things in the old lady's wooden basin. Aren't those oysters in the basin?

People in the northern part of the country have rarely eaten this thing, but I heard it's delicious. Xu Jinyu swallowed his saliva.

The old lady saw the young master asking questions and answered enthusiastically: "Oysters? Are you talking about sea oysters? These are extremely troublesome, there is not much meat, and it is difficult to pry open. We crush them and feed them to the chickens. After eating them, the chickens lay more eggs."

Feed the chickens!

Why waste it like this?

Xu Jinyu took a look at the seaside village. Only a few houses were built of stone, and the rest were wooden houses. It was obvious that they were not wealthy families.

But they actually feed chickens with oysters, which is such a waste.

Xu Jinyu waved to the old lady.

The old lady came over immediately.

"this!"

Xu Jinyu pointed at the oysters in the old lady's wooden basin.

"This oyster is good for male sexual function. You are not going to feed it to your chickens. You are going to sell it at the market!"

"What! Oysters are an aphrodisiac!" The old lady's voice rose involuntarily because of surprise.

This voice attracted the villagers who were drying their fishing nets, and they surrounded Xu Jinyu.

The ladies stared at Xu Jinyu with fiery eyes.

Princess Wuyang was stared at with such fiery eyes, and was so scared that she hid behind Xu Jinyu and gently pulled Xu Jinyu: "Tai'an, what's wrong with these people?"

"Nothing, just a naked desire for money."
