After Qiuyue went back, the rain had almost stopped.
Xie Ling looked her up and down, and when she found that there was nothing wrong with her, she looked away.
Qiuyue lowered her head feeling somewhat guilty.
"Let's go. The rain has stopped. We need to hurry to Sinan County."
Gu Wei urged.
The deadline for taking office is six months, and it is almost up, so there is no time to waste.
The group packed their luggage and continued on their journey.
The sunny day in Lingnan has clear blue sky, as if washed by water. The sun is clear and bright, and a gorgeous rainbow appears on the horizon.
Gu Wei took the map and looked at it, somewhat surprised.
"Lingnan is so big, but there are only three county towns?"
Xie Ling also came over, "Sinan, Yong'an, Lingshan... they are so far away."
Among them, Sinan County has the largest administrative territory, but its terrain is rugged, with many mountains and few roads, and it is the most backward.
In addition to these three county towns, there are two military settlements in the north of Lingnan.
These two military settlements were generally places for sorting exiled prisoners. Their military equipment was backward and there were relatively few soldiers.
Among them, Changning Military Tun and Changshou Military Tun are closest to Sinan County.
This is the entire administrative district plan for Lingnan.
Gu Wei looked at it for a while and said, "It will take at most two days to reach Sinan County. Let's take this road. It's faster and there are fewer mountains and forests."
As he said this, he walked to the front to lead the way.
Everyone followed his footsteps and walked into the small path next to it. It was indeed not as rugged and winding, and the terrain was slightly flatter.
Unlike the road just now, which was full of ups and downs and made us exhausted.
After walking for another day, we could finally see villages and people, and there was a sense of life.
However, these villages were so backward and dilapidated compared with villages in other places during the exile.
Basically, the walls are made of yellow mud and the roofs are made of thatched grass. Occasionally, I would see a few villagers, all of whom were so hungry that their faces were pale and their bodies were skinny, with their skin tanned black.
Lingnan is mountainous, with a hot and humid climate and rugged terrain, making it difficult to grow food and inconvenient transportation.
Compared to the flat north, the south with its good climate is indeed a little worse.
Xie Ling really likes Lingnan, the green mountains and forests, the blue sky, and the mushrooms and wild flowers that can be seen everywhere.
She is confident that she can build Lingnan into the ancient version of Jiangnan on the Great Wall, making Lingnan no longer so backward and making Lingnan prosperous and peaceful.
As we were walking, an infuriating scene suddenly appeared on the road ahead.
Under the scorching sun, two soldiers stood arrogantly in front of a peasant couple. They robbed them of something and forced the couple to kneel down and beg for mercy, kowtowing repeatedly.
Gu Wei frowned.
His current identity is Zhou Shijing, the incoming magistrate of Sinan County.
Do your job when you are in your position.
He has an obligation to take care of these issues.
After giving a wink to the person behind him, Gu Wei walked over and knocked the two soldiers to the ground after talking about something unknown.
A peasant couple standing nearby looked at Gu Wei as if he were a god and were very grateful.
Seeing this, Xie Ling and the others also walked over.
Gu Wei's eyes were filled with anger. "Tell me, whose soldiers are you?"
