Li Xian took it and broke it into two pieces. He handed one piece to Wang Ping'an, took a bite, chewed it a few times and swallowed the sugarcane juice. After spitting out the sugarcane residue, he nodded and smiled, "It's better to eat sugarcane. Eating too much oranges will cause your teeth to fall out."

Wang Ping'an spat out the sugarcane residue, smiled, and said, "If you eat too many oranges, your teeth will fall out, and if you eat too much sugarcane, your mouth will blister. It's best to taste only a little. Everything should be eaten in excess."

Li Xian looked at Linyuan County in front of him and raised his eyebrows, saying, "It seems to be a little more desolate than when I got on the bus."

Wang Pingan nodded and said with a smile, “There are indeed more buildings, but the flow of people is indeed sparse.

One reason is that the sugarcane has been harvested and both red and white sugar have been transported almost completely, so it is naturally not that busy.

Another possibility is that Third Senior Brother has discovered the coastal sea route. Once large sea vessels are put into use, bulk cargo will inevitably go by sea, and Lingqu will naturally become more depleted. "

Li Xian pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Actually, this is a good idea. We can dispatch Nanzhai in the future to fill the gap after sea transportation. Otherwise, we will have to rely on this small Lingqu Canal. If there is no sea transportation, we will definitely be too busy to handle it."

Since Li Xian asked everyone to disperse, no one stayed any longer.

Wang Pingan laughed and said, “In Yuzhou before, my father often pointed at people of this size to scare Yuehua.”

Wang Pingan shook his head and said with a smile: "In fact, he doesn't look bad. After all, officials in the Tang Dynasty have high standards for their facial features. It's just that life is better now and pork is cheap, so he has gained weight."

"hey-hey."

Zhang San explained with a smile: "In fact, the original words of the master are that he didn't have meat to eat when he was young, so he was short. When he grew up, he ate a lot of meat, which is why he grew short and fat.

Li Xian looked at Gao Zairen's funny figure and said with a smile, "I don't judge people by appearance. Since he has the ability, it doesn't matter if he looks a little worse."

Li Xian nodded and said with a smile: "Well done. Just based on this point, you are almost qualified as a county magistrate. What's the situation with the quarry?"

Gao Zairen shook his head vigorously and assured, "Absolutely not. The gentle slope is a rocky mountain. Except for a quarry, the rest of the place is a wasteland covered with thorns.

"Your Highness, please get on the carriage this way."

It just happened to confirm what the master said."

Li Xian walked down from the bow, helped Gao Zairen up, looked at the Linyuan County Magistrate, who was about the same height as himself, but half as wide and twice as thick as himself, and smiled.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Li Xian was so easy to talk to. This was the legitimate son of His Majesty and His Majesty. If he was not easy to serve, their lives would be really difficult.

After all, most princes would restrain themselves, and those who don't would be punished. Even if Li Xian didn't restrain himself, it would be a long time before he was punished.

Li Xian asked with great interest: "How do you scare me?"

Li Xian burst out laughing and asked, "Is that really the case?"

Zhang San laughed and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood me. According to intelligence, the county magistrate here is quite competent. Many people who don't do heavy work are of this size."

The ship soon arrived at the Linyuan County dock. Li Xian looked at the officials on the dock and pointed at the leader and asked, "By the way, what's the name of that short, fat guy?"

Li Xian walked forward and said, "There is no rush to rest. It is not very tiring to take a boat ride. Tell me about your site selection first. If the place is nearby, I would like to go and take a look first."

The group came to the carriage. Li Xian and Wang Ping'an got on the same carriage. Li Si followed on horseback with his guards. Gao Zairen personally took the driving seat.

After Wang Pingan got in the car, he asked, "Will the gentle slope not encroach on the people's fields?"

Wang Pingan took a look and said, "The county magistrate here is Gao."

Wang Pingan smiled and said, "Every time Yuehua doesn't eat or is picky about food, her father would say that if she doesn't eat much when she is young, she won't grow tall. If she eats a lot when she grows up, she will get fat, and eventually she will be short and fat."

Gao Zairen bowed and extended his hand, asking, "Your Highness must be tired from the journey, do you need to rest for a while?"

"Everyone, please stand up. I will be staying in Linyuan for a long time. From now on, just bow. There is no need for such a big ceremony. It is not only troublesome, but also wastes time. Everyone else, please do your own things. Gao Qingjia will accompany me to look around."

Then Li Xian said to Zhang San, "Sir, please settle the people who are traveling with you."

A few years ago, someone wanted to buy land there to build a brick kiln, but I refused. After all, it is so close to the county town. Once a brick kiln is built there, if the wind direction is just right, won’t the whole county town be filled with smoke and miasma? "

When the ship came to the shore, Gao Zairen led his subordinates in a grand ceremony and shouted, "Your Highness, Gao Zairen, the magistrate of Linyuan, respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness the King of Zhou and Young Master to Linyuan County."

Zhang San nodded and bowed, saying, "I understand. Your Highness, don't worry."

According to intelligence, Gao Zairen's family conditions were not good when he was a child. His parents spent all their energy to support his studies and cultivate him.

Li Xian curled his lips and said, "He is so fat and big-eared, I don't know how much of the people's money he has embezzled."

Gao Zairen led the way and said, "According to your Highness's request, a hundred acres of land is needed to build a newspaper office and a palace. I sent people to inquire around and found that there is a gentle slope in the east of the city that is very suitable."

After all, the development of Linyuan County has reached a bottleneck, and the demand for stone is very small. Yesterday I communicated with the student from Yuzhou, and he didn't want any money.

As long as His Highness can arrange for the more than a hundred people in the quarry, he is willing to offer the quarry to His Highness. I think since His Highness wants to build the palace, the newspaper office will also need people in the future, and the development of Nanzhao will require even more people. Isn't it easy to arrange a hundred people?"

Li Xian smacked his lips and sighed, "This is the biggest difference between our Yuzhou clan and the aristocratic families. If the aristocratic families encountered such a thing, the first thing they would think of would be to make a profit through the quarry.

The first thing we in Yuzhou thought of was how to arrange the manpower in the quarry.

The two different choices will obviously lead to very different results. The selfish person will definitely leave behind the beginning and the end, while the one who cares about the people will definitely leave behind stability. "
