Looking at Li Mingtian with a smile on his face and holding a bunch of fried locusts in his hand, Wu Mian coughed lightly and cleared his throat, saying, "I like to eat light food in the morning. I don't like greasy, just a bowl of rice porridge."

It seems that he said yesterday that he did not intend to change any Langzhou decree in the near future, and Li Mingtian's attitude towards him was closer than yesterday.

However, Wu Mian would rather Li Mingtian be less close. One reason was that he really didn't want to eat the locust, and the other reason was that he didn't know the faction of the officials in Langzhou for the time being, and he didn't want to be beaten to the impression that Li Mingtian was going all the way... This is also the most important thing.

In this world, there are countless things to take sides, and even more so in the officialdom.

Moreover, compared to ordinary positions, if the position in the officialdom is not well-standing, it is a trivial matter to be pulled down. If you are not careful, you may lose your life!

Wu Mian didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for Kong Wenxuan without realizing it, which would be a great disadvantage to his reputation.

When people live in the world, this thing is very important, and it is related to the establishment of connections and future development.

If there is a good reputation, he will be much easier to ask others for things and can get more help. If the reputation is bad, let’s not talk about anything else. Whether he can learn more from Liu Yunxiao will become a problem!

As Liu Yunxiao's eldest disciple, Kong Wenxuan, who has followed Liu Yunxiao for many years, can almost determine his future with just one sentence.

If Kong Wenxuan felt that he was lucky and said a few more words to him in front of Liu Yunxiao, then after he returned to Changshang, he would not dare to say that he would be given a gift from Liu Yunxiao immediately, but if he had any questions, he would be more likely to ask questions and answers.

If Kong Wenxuan felt that he was unlucky, even if Liu Yunxiao and the others had something to use for him, they would teach him one hand and even teach him some basic things, which was called tempering his temperament, so that he could only waste a few years.

Although this possibility is slim, after all, the current situation is there, and Liu Yunxiao and the others must also want someone to resist the great responsibility. However, Wu Mian doesn't want to bet on such unnecessary things... He doesn't like gambling.

Li Mingtian could not know the little one in Wu Mian's belly, but he could still see Wu Mian's repulsion of locusts.

But he just smiled and didn't say much.

People in Langzhou who eat locusts do not mean that people in other regions can eat them. Many people who have just come to Langzhou cannot eat locusts, but they see too much and have nothing to eat, so they will naturally eat them, so there is no need to make any recommendations.

After ordering four portions of rice porridge from the cook, Wu Mian and Zhuge Qing found a random spot to eat.

It is worth mentioning that Zhuge Qing took advantage of the situation and ordered a few strings of fried locusts and chewed them while drinking the porridge.

Wu Mian, who was sitting opposite him, looked at him eating deliciously, and couldn't help feeling the rice porridge in his hand was tasteless. He just looked at the ferocious look of the fried locusts. He couldn't even put his mouth on it for a while, so he could only pick up the bowl and drank two portions of porridge in a big mouthful.

After drinking, he touched his stomach and found that there was a sound of water inside.

This is also impossible. Perhaps it is because of the disaster, or perhaps it is because of different habits. The porridge here is a bit thin. It is better to say that it is porridge and the soup is more than rice.

Moreover, the rice and water used to cook porridge have some problems, and the taste is really... I can only say that there is no problem filling my stomach.

Of course, Wu Mian cared about the taste of porridge not because he was so pretentious, but because he made a very important discovery in this regard.

In the State of Song, the food in the canteen of the government office in charge of a state cannot be said to be the best, but it must not be said to be the bad. People who eat in the government office are not ordinary people, and almost all of them are high-ranking officials and nobles.

In this case, the rice and water used to cook porridge in the canteen of Kangdacheng City have problems. What does this mean?

The representative of the court, the Kangda government office is going to have no water or food!

Even the representatives of the imperial court are like this, so what about those people?

Looking at the remaining rice grains and porridge water in the bowl, Wu Mian raised it and poured it into his mouth. He said to Zhuge Qing, who had already eaten almost the same food, "Sir, where should I go to see it?"

Zhuge Qing chewed the last locust and swallowed it, and said: "If you want to know the real situation of the people, you have to go to several city gates. Those who come from afar can best reflect the situation of the victims of Langzhou. Secondly, the places where disaster relief and resettlement are located in the city. The quality of these places and the supply of food can reflect the attitude of the government towards the victims, and then..."

Zhuge Qing talked about six or seven places in a scattered manner, which made Wu Mian feel overwhelmed.

Because the places mentioned by Zhuge Qing almost covered the entire Kangda City, from major traffic arteries to disaster victim resettlement sites, to granaries, reservoirs, and even military camps.

It is absolutely not enough to run all these places one day, but he still has to run them all, even if it is a few days.

After all, Kong Wenxuan has already said that it may take one month to come for at least ten days, which means that Wu Mian will have to play Kong Wenxuan at least ten days, and at least ten days to play an magistrate.

A newly appointed magistrate can remain calm and do not act rashly, and even if he does not add points, he will not lose points. However, if he does not even understand the situation of the city he takes office, he may not only be regarded as a fool, but may also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble, and even directly expose his identity!

This is a big project!

In his heart, Wu Mian said, "What sir said is very true, but there is a sequence of things. Where should I go today?"

What he wants to go to most now is to resettle the victims. First, he can understand the current situation of the victims who come to Kangda City, and understand and speculate on the general situation of the victims in other areas. Second, he can spread his image of Kong Wenxuan's diligence and love for the people and win over the hearts of the people.

Zhuge Qing thought for a moment and said, "It's best to ask Lord Li about this. He knows the situation in Langzhou best. He should know where you should go now... But what you should go today is nothing more than the military arsenal and grain warehouse."

Wu Mian was stunned for a moment.

He could still understand the grain warehouse. He had originally planned to go to the grain warehouse to check after understanding the situation of the victims in the resettlement office to find out how much grain is still stored in Kangda City, but the military camp arsenal...

Power comes out of the gun!

This sentence suddenly flashed in his head.

Although the magistrate is the highest commander of Langzhou, it is just a name. If you want to be worthy of your name, you need to have enough strength to support it!

I actually forgot this!

Too bad!

Although I met Zhi Jinwu yesterday and was considered to have contacted the army, Zhi Jinwu and the general army were separated. The military did not interfere in the matters they were in charge, and they generally did not interfere in the military affairs. They were just nominally attached to the army!

Thinking of this, Wu Mian sincerely thanked: "Thank you for your advice, sir!"

It was at this time that Li Mingtian came over and said, "Mr. Kong, Zhuge, eats so fast. I heard that both of them are practitioners. If you eat this little, you may not even be able to fill your stomach, right?"

After Wu Mian glanced at Zhuge Qing, he smiled faintly and said, "In the current situation in Langzhou, I and Lord Zhuge can't eat much at the moment."

"So that's it. The two adults are intent, alas~"

Sighing, Li Mingtian stared at Wu Mian for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Xiaguan had also practiced qi back then and had already touched the threshold of the Five Qis Chaoyuan. However, Langzhou has suffered major and minor disasters. In recent years, his cultivation has been abandoned because of political affairs. His cultivation has not improved but retreated. I hope Master Kong is ready."

His words surprised Wu Mian, then frowned slightly, and said lightly: "I understand."

After answering, his heart suddenly became a little heavy.

It is a very realistic problem that both political affairs and practice cannot be achieved.

Cultivation takes time, and handling political affairs also takes time. Not to mention the others, he spent one night reading documents yesterday, and he only had a rough understanding, but this also made him not practice internal skills for a day yesterday.

However, internal energy is not always there. Even if you don’t need it every day, you will consume some of it yourself and nourish your body. You must spend a lot of time every day and persist in practicing to maintain the continuous growth of internal energy. If you have less time, not to mention going further, maintaining your original level will be a problem!

When practicing, if you don’t advance, you will retreat!

But this doesn't cause me much. I won't be too busy with political affairs in a short period of time. Moreover, I don't plan to become an official in the future, and I just want to get more resources to practice. The one who should be troubled by my senior brother... But now in the situation in Song State...

There are problems in Shangzhou, Langzhou and Qinzhou. If there is no trick, no one will believe it. If a lucky person like Senior Brother is delayed here, it is probably not a good thing. I have to talk to him afterwards...

But he knows more about practice than me. Do I need to mention it?

After a few thoughts flashed through his mind, Wu Mian asked: "Sir Li, I want to go and see the grain warehouse and the arsenal today. Can you arrange it?"

"Go to see the grain warehouse and the arsenal?" Li Mingtian pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, it's just that the lord has not officially taken over as the governor, this..."

The prefecture that he took office must not just take out the document and official seal, but there were still a lot of ceremonies to officially take office. After Wu Mian came yesterday, he only used the document and official seal to prove his identity. No ceremony to take office had been held.

But this was also done deliberately by Wu Mian.

In this world where monsters, ghosts, gods, immortals and Buddhas really exist, the rituals themselves have special powers. He is not Kong Wenxuan, so there may be problems with the ceremony of taking office, so it is still possible to avoid it.

With this plan, he waved his hand and said lightly: "Those are just small things, and there are expenses. Now, let's forget about the situation in Langzhou first. It's not too late to do it when the situation in Langzhou is better."
