next morning
Emperor Jing just woke up, and Guo Tianyang stood aside early, waiting for Emperor Jing to get up.
There was a side room specially prepared for the attendants, so Guo Tianyang slept in the room.
Emperor Jing stretched out after getting up: "The bed in this inn is actually a bit sweeter and more fragrant than sleeping in the palace. It's really strange."
Yesterday afternoon, after a long journey and a mental shock, I had enough sleep.
Guo Tianyang took the basin and washcloth and said, "Yes, this bed is very soft. I saw it last night and saw that there are twelve layers of mattresses underneath it! It's really comfortable!"
Emperor Jing took the towel and wiped his face and said, "Well, let's have a meal and go out for a walk later."
Breakfast is very simple, just porridge and side dishes.
However, Emperor Jing ate it with gusto: "I didn't expect that even this side dish has a good flavor. Haha, it seems that I, the emperor, don't have the taste of a little seventh-grade sesame official."
Guo Tianyang lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty, I think this person has no taboos in his actions and needs to be properly warned!!"
"Furthermore, Taoyuan County has huge waste and extravagant life. This unhealthy trend cannot be encouraged!"
Emperor Jing snorted coldly: "Why do you need to talk so much!? Life is extravagant? Did the money fall from the sky? People in such a remote place live a prosperous life. If counties and cities all over the world can live such extravagant lives, I will be happy before it's too late!"
"You are really getting better and better as you live!"
Guo Tianyang didn't dare to defend himself and stood aside aggrievedly.
"After eating, let's go out for a walk."
.....
After the two simply tidied up, they went out to the streets.
Emperor Jing carefully looked at every detail on the street. Every street and alley was clean, and there were no beggars or scoundrels.
Moreover, the common people are not disgraced. They change their clothes and look like scholars.
Emperor Jing kept it in mind.
When he walked to a crowded place, Guo Tianyang couldn't help but feel a little wary.
Suddenly a burst of singing came to my ears.
"You love me~I love you~Taoyuan milk tea is sweet!"
"You love me~I love you~Taoyuan milk tea is sweet!"
What the hell! ?
Emperor Jing and Guo Tianyang looked sideways at the same time. It turned out to be a stall selling tea.
An honest and friendly middle-aged man was singing and hawking at the door, surrounded by a group of people.
Guo Tianyang was disdainful!
What the hell are you singing! The lewd words and songs have simply tainted our ears!
This Taoyuan County is really getting more and more evil!
"Pooh!"
Guo Tianyang couldn't help but spit on the ground.
As soon as the phlegm fell to the ground, an old lady wearing a red armband jumped out of nowhere.
It just happened to block the way for the two of them.
Then he stretched out his hand, spread his fingers and said sharply: "Spitting on the ground will be fined five cents!"
Emperor Jing frowned and looked at the old lady in front of him. She was dressed in cloth, with a red ribbon on her sleeves, and the word "hygienist" written on it.
Guo Tianyang was not happy anymore, and our family also vomited in the palace!
Is there anyone who cares about spitting on the street? Fresh!
So he retorted sharply: "Who are you! Why!"
The old lady snorted coldly: "You must be from out of town! Spitting is not allowed in this county, and you will be fined five cents!"
"This is a rule set by the magistrate of this county himself. If you don't obey, come with me to see the official!"
Guo Tianyang's eyes widened. I spit and you want to take me to see the official! ?
Just as he was about to yell, Emperor Jing's voice came coldly: "Give me money."
Guo Tianyang reluctantly took out the money.
The old lady smiled with satisfaction. Just as she was about to leave, she was suddenly stopped by Emperor Jing.
"Old man, the two of us are here for the first time and we have some questions to ask. Is it convenient?"
The old lady looked him up and down and saw that he had a good attitude and said, "Go ahead."
"Why are there no beggars in Taoyuan County?"
The old lady was happy: "You are such an interesting person. You want to find a beggar? Then we really don't have one here."
"Our county magistrate is kind-hearted and hates the poor, so he takes them away to dig ditches!"
Emperor Jing suddenly choked on his breath.
Guo Tianyang said pitifully: "Sir, this is a scumbag! It is simply ruining the reputation of officials."
"How are you talking! How are you talking!" The old lady was anxious.
"No one in Taoyuan County dares to say that we are not the county magistrate! If it weren't for the fact that you are foreigners, you would have been beaten!"
Guo Tianyang said angrily: "Why not! How can you drag a beggar to dig ditches! Doesn't this cost people's lives!"
"You know..." Before the old lady could finish her words, a voice suddenly came from the street.
"Someone is filing a lawsuit! Come and watch the fun!"
When the old lady heard this, she immediately became energetic and ran away quickly.
"Let's go! Go over and take a look!"
Emperor Jing saw this unusual scene and quickened his pace to follow.
Guo Tianyang was still thinking incessantly from behind, and then followed him.
As the crowd trotted all the way to the yamen gate, Emperor Jing and the two were stunned again.
In front of you is a building covering a huge area. At a glance, it and the square in front are at least more than 20 acres!
In front of the government office is a stone square, which is written to the Taoyuan County government office. Behind it is a square paved with stone slabs, and then wide and long stairs connect to the building.
The county government office is a three-story building, covering a wide area, and is gray-white in color, exuding coldness and majesty.
There is a sense of oppression standing under the stairs.
Guo Tianyang opened his mouth and said in surprise: "There is such a county government! They say that officials don't build government offices, how much does it cost!"
Emperor Jing did not speak, but took a deep look at the archway and then stepped inside.
Guo Tianyang followed closely.
Walking along the stairs to the inner hall, the two of them found the familiar feeling. Except that the area was larger, the decoration inside was still the same as that of a normal county government office.
There is a huge plaque hanging above the room [Hanging High Mirror Ming]
At this moment, the people have gathered outside the barrier.
There was one person kneeling and another person standing in the hall. On both sides, the government servants stood upright holding water and fire sticks.
At this moment...everyone is waiting for the county magistrate to appear.
.......
Fang Zhengyi raised his arms impatiently, and behind him was Xiao Tao putting on his official uniform.
"Damn it! It's not even past noon and some unruly people are complaining? I won't let anyone sleep!"
"After two months of hard work, I'm going to be promoted to court again!"
Xiao Tao pursed her lips and said nothing.
"What are you going to eat when you come back soon? Oh, I haven't had breakfast yet. I'm hungry." Fang Zheng smacked his lips.
"Eat beef." Xiao Tao kept patting and smoothing the official uniform.
It's a bit dusty after not wearing it for a long time.
"Beef? Don't you have anything new? You're tired of it!"
Xiao Tao rolled her eyes: "It's done, go ahead, I'll cook."
Fang Zheng shook his robe sleeves one by one and looked at them with satisfaction.
"Let's go! Ascend to the throne!"
