Chapter 480: Pen can kill

In the following days, Xue Mu had a relaxed and leisurely life, unlike the seemingly carefree in the palace when he was in the capital, in fact, he was always nervous about the rain. He doesn't need to do any more tricks, and he doesn't even have an enemy in the short term. He regularly practiced qigong every morning and evening, usually wrote operas, and wanted to rest, so he corruptly recruited the Qianxue and Ye Dance Troupe, accompanied by Menglan's piano music, and everyone performed him alone.
He was lying in Zhuo Qingqing's arms, squinting his eyes and watching the girls singing and dancing to flatter him, and the US guard fed him fruit.
The interest came, pulled Qianxue for a while, and the acacia demon girls chuckled and dispersed.
This kind of day is actually no different from an emperor.
The development discussed with Zhang Bailing a few days ago was not about not doing it, but not doing it at this time. Even the city officials felt that when the city owner was about to be removed from office, things were not easy to do. It was better to wait for the envoy to do it. Let's talk about it.
Of course, when he is resting, he is also turning his mind to development.
Zhang Bailing's suggestion is very clear and easy to implement. He has asked the demons to secretly collect the corruption status of Lingzhou City officials so that they can act at any time. This is easy to say, but it is about "urban construction." The suggestion is good, but how to do it still needs to be discussed.
When he first arrived in Lingzhou, he felt that Lingzhou's urban planning was inferior to Jingshi, and it was messy. However, urban planning involves very troublesome things like demolition and relocation. I am afraid that it will be difficult to do for the time being. We should wait for the authority to be established in the future. So what should be prioritized right now?
The first is to pave the way, which is something that can be done directly. The pilot cement road section of the Jingshi Lingzhou section has already begun. It is not difficult to find Shenjimen for a batch of cement for the roads in Lingzhou City.
Secondly, Xue Mu quickly thought of the underground drainage system, with the feeling that the cement pavement was tight.
The urban drainage system in this world is relatively primitive, with the goal of no water on the road surface when it rains. Xue Mu from modern times naturally knows that the use of drainage systems is not limited to this. If it is done well, it may be time for thousands of households to get rid of the original toilet...At the same time, it may also help irrigation outside the city.
As long as these can be done step by step, he will be the most prestigious city lord in Lingzhou history.
"I need the assistance of a master of the magic door. I can only have a general idea, and the specific implementation requires a real expert." Xue Mu lay in Zhuo Qingqing's arms and whispered: "Help me write to Li Yingqing, and send someone to help. , Biased towards the direction of architectural research."
"Shenjimen has a government office in the city, and there are city officials in the city."
"Not enough, I want to be a master, not a little gadget."
Zhuo Qingqing and Meng Lan exchanged glances, and the two women had a sharp heart. Meng Lan wrote a letter, borrowing someone from Li Yingqing, and at the same time added: "...preferably a mature and stable old man."
They were afraid that another Ye Guying would come...
In fact, the girls are overwhelmed. It is hard to find women who want to find women at Shenjimen, let alone "experts". Needless to say, they can only be elderly people.
Xue Mu didn't pay attention to the little movements of the girls, and still sighed freely: "Fortunately, there are magical doors in the world. Otherwise, in this world where everyone is practicing martial arts, the quality of life will at least drop a hundredfold."
Zhuo Qingqing couldn't help saying: "Hmph... the inspector is coming, do you have an idea? Should we kill him? At this time, do you need force to see the son."
"You don't have to do things like killing people..."
...
As the days passed, Li Yingqing received the letter without further comment, and immediately sent an expert to help Xue Mu. Before the experts left, the imperial court visited Lingzhou first.
In this world, there is no imperial examination. Officials used the system of judging to enter official positions, which is similar to the ancient filial piety, plus a combination of some martial arts.
At the beginning of the year, the inspection is not only to evaluate the recommendation of new officials, but more importantly, to evaluate the performance evaluation of the grassroots officials. It depends on whether it is promotion or decline.
In Xue Mu's eyes, the entire system of official governance is relatively rough, with strong traces of the rule of man, and the power of investigators and envoys is weird. According to reason, the productive forces in this world should not correspond to this structural relationship. It is probably a deformity caused by the world of martial arts, not slavery is very good.
Xue Mu had always suspected that if the philanthropists were to live, the outrageous differences in individual strength might very well cause social relations to regress to slavery. From this perspective, he didn't want anyone to be in harmony.
Of course, it's okay if my sister is in harmony.
When the police officer Liu Yong stepped into Lingzhou and got out of the carriage, he squinted his eyes to look at the city. He knew what the biggest significance of his coming to Lingzhou this time was.
It was nothing more than a cutscene that made Xue Mu, the negligent city lord, get out, and even the imperial concubine and the princess had no reason to support him. As long as he loses his status as City Lord of Lingzhou, Xue Mu can't do many things and loses his potential for development.
Thinking of the stern look in his eyes when the prince confessed the task, Liu Yong felt a little shocked. I have been in contact with the prince for almost ten years, and I have never seen such a fierceness in the eyes of the prince who has always been calm. It is an expression of choosing people.
As soon as he walked into this city without walls, Liu Yong was taken aback. There was no prior notice to the Lingzhou officials of his arrival. There was no one to greet him, but at this time several little demon girls appeared in front of him, smiling and waiting on the side of the road: "Good Sir Liu!"
A group of guards nervously guarded Liu Yong in the middle, looking at the interview card hanging on the head of the demon girl's neck, Liu Yong cautiously asked, "What does Xingyue Sect mean?"
"No, no." The demon girl led by smile said: "I am Xingyue reporter Li Xiaorui. The people of Lingzhou are very concerned about this investigation. I wonder if I can interview Liu Shilang for some questions?"
"No comment!" Liu Yong knew that he couldn't be carried in the ditch by the Xingyue Demon Girl.
"Eh eh eh..." Li Xiaorui chased up: "The court investigation is a major event in the world. Liu Shilang has been interviewed in Kyoto and said that he must be evaluated for justice, no survivors of the wild, no silverfish in the hall. How did you reach the spirit? Can the state speak to others?"
Liu Yong said coldly: "Don't you already know what to say?"
"Can you tell me what you think of Lingzhou? The people of Lingzhou really want to know."
Liu Yong was annoyed by the little demon girl like cowhide, and said angrily: "This envoy hasn't observed Lingzhou, how can you look at it?"
Li Xiaorui blinked: "For example, what do you think of the brothel in Lingzhou?"
Liu Yong was stunned. He was funny. This little girl was a bit stupid. She opened her mouth and revealed the benefits of Lingzhou Brothel? He asked with a smile but a smile, "Is Lingzhou famous for its brothel? It's such an atmosphere, and I have learned a lot."
Without waiting for Li Xiaorui to regret his failure, he immediately hurried into the carriage: "Go to the prefecture!"
Li Xiaorui watched the carriage go away, with a funny smile on her mouth.
The people of Lingzhou discovered that today's Lingzhou Daily reported that "the envoy to Lingzhou" was published, and a reporter interview was attached.
The content is as follows: "Liu Shilang arrived in Lingzhou in a humble manner and was very interested in the local brothel.
Liu Yong was reading the newspaper at the county guard's mansion, his hands trembling: "It is unreasonable! This is slander! Is the Xingyue Zong reporter so shameless!"
Zhang Bailing smiled and added tea to him: "It doesn't matter, Lingzhou Daily is still presided over by six doors. Is it good for an official to accompany Shilang Liu to negotiate?"
Liu Yong anxiously followed Zhang Bailing to the six doors and saw Li Xiaorui sitting there smiling. Liu Yongjian said that he was furious: "The demon girl dare to make up her own remarks?"
Li Xiaorui blinked: "I didn't fabricate it. When I asked about the brothel, Shilang Liu was indeed more interested than before."
Liu Yong was so angry that he vomited blood: "This official is not interested! You must clarify!"
Li Xiaorui shrank her shoulders pitifully: "Oh...I see."
Early the next morning, a new issue of the daily newspaper was released, and it read: "Liu Shilang is well-informed, and the local brothel was coldly received."
Liu Yong, who was eating breakfast, almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood on the plate.
