Section 758: The expansion of Xinfeng City(1/2)
It snowed again last night.
When I woke up in the morning, the county government yard was covered with snow.
Zhang Yue stood up gently, gently placed the warm girl's body in his arms on the pillow, and covered her with a quilt.
I got out of bed and started dressing.
Unexpectedly, Chunyu Wen woke up.
"Husband... I'm here to serve you..." Chunyu Wen immediately got up, put on his pajamas, and began to dress Zhang Yue.
It has to be said that the female officials in the court are almost impeccable in serving people.
Even Zhang Yue could not refuse such enjoyment.
"This degenerate feudal life..." Zhang Yue sighed while closing his eyes and enjoying the service of the beautiful woman.
Chunyu Wen always looked at Zhang Yue with admiration, gently putting clothes for his husband.
"I have already sent a letter to you in my family..." Chunyu Wen gently tied a ribbon for Zhang Yue and reported softly: "Someone should come in the next two days to deliver what your husband needs..."
"Yeah!" Zhang Yue nodded without comment, then opened his eyes, looked at the girl kneeling in front of him, looked at her fair and rosy little face, looked at the rich admiration in her eyes, and laughed softly: "Wen'er can deal with this matter by herself..."
Chunyu Wen listened, lowered his head slightly and said, "I understand..."
But I felt very happy in my heart.
After several years in the palace, she had heard and watched, which made her realize that if a woman like her in this world had a good result.
You can't rely on your appearance.
If you serve others with sex, drink poison to quench your thirst, it will not last long.
Only men who can help themselves can have a good ending.
And medical skills are her only pride and expertise.
………………………………………
After leaving the door, Zhang Yue woke up Hu Jian who was on duty in the county government office, and then took the yamen runners to the street and began to patrol.
At this time, it was still early.
The workshop garden has not started yet, and the entire Xinfeng City seems to be still in a sleep and has not woken up.
But there are already people on the streets.
The snow sweeper hired by the county government pushed the deer cart and shoveled the snow on the road into the deer cart.
There are also the sound of selling along the streets with tofu brains coming from afar.
At the intersection not far from the county government office, a man pushed a deer cart and stopped panting.
A woman in thick veil clothes, carrying a child on her back, holding a man in her arms, and carrying a small honeycomb coal stove in her hand, following the man step by step.
Maybe it was when he arrived at the destination. The man took off the rope of the deer cart on his shoulder, turned around with a smile, looked at the woman behind him, and reached out to remove the snowflakes from her sideburns for her.
The woman grinned with joy, and the feeling of happiness immediately filled the world.
Zhang Yue looked at it, and a smile appeared slightly from the corner of his mouth.
This kind of warmth in the world is his favorite to see.
Unfortunately, he probably won't be able to feel it in his life.
A man who didn't pay attention to had already taken off all the things loaded in the deer cart.
But it is a large stove made of soil, which looks very heavy, maybe 180 kilograms.
It took him a lot of effort to remove it.
Then he placed a wooden board flat on the deer cart, and a ball of dough that had been awake was smashed heavily on the wooden board by him.
The woman started to sell: "Sell Shizhong cakes! The hot Shizhong cakes are only five cents each!"
Zhang Yue listened and laughed. He already knew what they were selling?
But it was the baking pancakes like the one that Zhang Yue once offered to eat today.
This snack, which was very famous in Hubei in later generations, traveled through time and space, appeared on the streets of Xinfeng BC, and became a popular breakfast food like tofu brain.
The scholars, migrant workers and businesses in Xinfeng City all love this kind of food.
only……
Shizhong Cake? It sounds strange.
But Zhang Yue turned around and said to Hu Jian: "Prince Hu, go and buy a few cakes, and I will enjoy them with you!"
Hu Jian listened, and immediately nodded with a smile and led people forward.
The couple obviously recognized Hu Jian. They were very enthusiastic when they saw Hu Jian. In the end, they refused to even ask for money. Hu Jian had no choice but to throw dozens of Wuzhu coins and took the people away.
Handed the bought cake to Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue took out one and touched it in the palm of his hand. It was indeed Guo Kui.
The freshly baked pot is very hot, and the pot pot made by the couple is very large, about three taels (about 60 grams). When you bite it, there is actually some meat filling inside. Although it is pork filling, the taste is just average (the best pork in contemporary times is free-range, but that kind is too expensive, and captive pork is cheap, but because it has not been castrated, it tastes very fishy and is a common food), but the leeks caught are very refreshing.
Zhang Yue took several bites in a row, nodded slightly and said, "Not bad!"
Then he distributed the other "Guokui" in his hand to his left and right.
Everyone eats and walks.
"With County Magistrate Hu recognizes that couple?" Zhang Yue asked.
"Of course!" Hu Jian replied: "Four months ago, the officials tried their case..."
"It's also a pair of pitiful people..." Hu Jianping narrated straightly: "The husband is Wang Dalang from Nancheng, and the woman is his wife..."
"At that time, the merchant Wang from Nancheng sued the couple owed their son 5,000 yuan principal and interest of 30,000 yuan. They asked the officials to punish their husband and wife's children and serve as their slaves..."
"How did the county lieutenant judge?" Zhang Yue has always ignored civil litigation.
Of course, the files from the county magistrate's office will be reviewed regularly for deliberation.
However, as long as there is no follow-up lawsuit in such a small case, in general, there is no qualification to enter the file.
Therefore, it is normal for Zhang Yue not to know.
"According to the law, I have no blame for repaying the money from debts..." Hu Jian said softly: "Of course, the lower official ordered his husband and wife to pay back the money..."
"But...it's just five thousand principal..."
"It was probably because I borrowed money at that time to bury my father!"
"The Spring and Autumn Annals are punished, Yuan Xin is convicted..." Hu Jian said and chuckled.
Zhang Yue listened and turned his head and looked at Hu Jian deeply.
"I didn't expect that the people of the Legalists became so cute..." Zhang Yue chuckled in his heart.
He took Hu Jian and others to wander around the county town.
Xinfeng City is just a small county town, only four or five miles long and two or three miles wide.
Among them, more than half of the area was occupied by the workshop garden, the government office, the Emperor's Palace, the temple, the military camp, the county school and other buildings.
The residential area left for civilians is pitifully small.
Especially after the workshop garden flourished, Xinfeng's population gradually increased.
The original urban structure is already too crowded.
Zhang Yue looked around the city, then climbed up the city tower and looked at the plains in the distance.
"Xinfeng City must be expanded!" Zhang Yue said: "While it is still winter, demolish the southern city walls and extend the city to the south..."
"What do you think of County Magistrate Hu?" Zhang Yue turned his head and asked.
"I'm afraid it's too late..." Hu Jian hesitated and said, "There will be only twenty days, and it will be the first month of spring, so it is not advisable to start work..."
Zhang Yue listened and fell into silence.
Spring is a special season for the summer civilizations.
In this season, all things sprout, birds and beasts are pregnant in this season, and spring plowing and sowing in this season.
Therefore, spring is the season of birth.
Generally speaking, as long as there is no foreign enemy provocation, the Han army will stop expanding externally in the spring.
The hunters of the people will also enter the warehouse in spring, and put their horses in the south mountain and stop hunting.
The government will take the initiative to reduce activities and recruit people's efforts to facilitate the people to devote all their energy to production and life.
But Xinfeng is a bit special.
Because Xinfeng is now an area with Sumai as its main crop and Workshop Garden as its main source of economic resources.
Therefore, the spring of Xinfeng actually had the opportunity to promote wood and earth.
Moreover, it was just to demolish the city walls and expand outward for several miles to serve as a house.
To be continued...
