There are ten states in the Tang Dynasty and more than 300 states, divided into three levels.

There are more than 30,000 households in Shangzhou, 20,000 to 30,000 households in Zhongzhou, and less than 30,000 households in Xiazhou. Luzhou is Shangzhou, which belongs to Hedong Road and has jurisdiction over Shangdang, Changzi, Tunliu, and Lucheng.

, Huguan, Licheng, Tongdi, Xiangxian, Xiangyuan, Shexian and other counties.

In short, this is the territory of almost a prefecture-level city in later generations.

Li Yuanjia expressed that he was under a lot of pressure to be the top official of a prefecture-level city in name only and overseeing a population of hundreds of thousands.

Think about it, I am now in charge of more than one Jilin University population!

so……

"I knew I couldn't have too high hopes!"

It was just getting dark and when he arrived outside Luzhou City, Li Yuanjia opened the car curtain with an expression of "Sure enough," and a look of disappointment flashed in his eyes. Compared with Chang'an, which he had just left, this place had the most

It’s a town, right?

Chang'an is a majestic city, there is no doubt about it!

Even if we know that when the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, the population of Chang'an was only more than one million, and now it is only a few hundred thousand, but for a modern person living in an "open" city, the city walls of Chang'an at least look

It still looks majestic, but the Luzhou City in front of you...

However, there are only one or two hundred thousand people in Luzhou. How big can you expect this city to be?

Not long after the convoy entered Luzhou City, it stopped not far from the Luzhou Yamen Office. At this moment, Luzhou's second-in-command quickly came to Li Yuanjia's car and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty,

You have worked hard all the way, and it is getting late today, so we dare not delay your Majesty’s rest. However, tomorrow everyone in Luzhou will gather to receive the wind and wash away the dust for Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will appreciate it.”

"Haha, that's great!"

Li Yuanjia opened the curtain with his left hand and said with a gentle smile: "Chen Da...ahem, farewell Chen, thank you for your kindness, I will definitely be there tomorrow!"

"Huh...thank you so much, king!"

Chen Lin exhaled softly, and quickly bowed deeply, unable to help but reveal a smile.

It seems that this young king is quite kind?

In fact, as the chief minister of a state governor, that is, a relatively high-status subordinate, whether it is Biejia, Changshi or Sima, it is just a sinecure created by the imperial court. Since Chen Lin was assigned to Luzhou's Biejia

, I once thought that I might live a mediocre life, but I didn’t expect that this young king came out of the cabinet and was awarded the title of governor of Luzhou!

If the prince also serves as governor, his opportunity will come.

Not to mention that this king is only fifteen years old and has no experience in governing the country at all. According to the rules and practices of the Tang Dynasty, if the prince also serves as the governor, bye bye, Chang Shi and other mascots will have real power.

, you can really get involved in local management affairs!

What if this king has no interest in government affairs and only wants to eat, drink and have fun?

After suppressing the small thoughts in her heart and exchanging a few words, Chen Lin expressed her respect for sending the king back to his residence on behalf of officials at all levels on the pretext of not delaying the king's return to rest.

Li Yuanjia's motorcade went straight to the Luzhou Government Office, while the other officials waited for the carriage to disappear out of sight before leaving in a hurry! The officials who were originally in Luzhou City naturally went back to their homes, but those who came from below

People who came from the county had no choice but to pick up their friends' homes or go to a hotel. No one wanted to wait until it was completely dark before finding the way.

"call……"

In the slow-moving carriage, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but pat his chest and let out a sigh of relief.

Well, I almost blurted out the sentence "Master Chen" just now!

Although the Tang Dynasty was only founded more than ten years ago, the official system has long been established, and officials from various places have been appointed to their posts. As one of the Shangzhous, Luzhou naturally has its own set of officials, except for Li Yuanjia, the boss of the governor.

, there is also one person from the fourth-rank Biejia, one from the fifth-rank Changshi and one from the fifth-rank Sima, one from the seventh-rank Lushi to join the army, and one from the seventh-rank Cao to join the army...

Anyway, compared with the huge and bloated government agencies of later generations, the civil service team of this era was quite "streamlined".

Of course, the most important reason is that we simply cannot support too many officials in this era!

However, even if there are not many officials, there are still so many counties under Luzhou. Each county has a county magistrate, a county magistrate, a lord, a county captain, etc., plus the wealthy businessmen and squires in Luzhou City, who will go out of the city for more than ten miles in the afternoon.

More than 200 people came to greet Li Yuanjia!

The Chen Lin who was talking to him just now is Luzhou's Biejia, and the second most powerful person in Luzhou under Li Yuanjia!

And if you really shout out the three words "Master Chen", you will really lose your master.

After all, those costume TV dramas in his previous life were so poisonous that Li Yuanjia almost forgot that the word "adult" is not used casually in this era. As a colloquial term, adults can generally only be used to address one's own parents.

, in some cases, you can only call your direct blood relatives and elders. Anyway, you can never use it to call an outsider. Especially like Chen Lin, Chen Biejia, if you really want to be called "adult" by yourself...

Thinking of this, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but shudder.

The carriage only walked for a short distance and soon stopped again. Then Han Shan's voice was heard outside: "Your Majesty, we are here!"

"Um."

With a faint response, the car door curtain was opened from the outside.

After Li Yuanjia got off the carriage, he looked up and found that he had arrived in front of a gatehouse that looked pretty good under the last light of the setting sun. The servants who had arrived in Luzhou in advance and had prepared everything were already lined up and standing. After seeing Li Yuanjia

They all saluted and shouted: "Welcome your Majesty!"

"Well……"

Startled by this burst of shouting, Li Yuanjia quickly waved his hand and said: "Okay, everyone, get up."

Naturally, there were people below asking them to move things, and Han Shan carefully waited on Li Yuanjia to go inside. As he walked, he explained in a low voice: "Your Majesty, although they have spent great efforts to renovate the government office, but

Because time is in a hurry, it is inevitable that there will be dissatisfaction. Please be patient for now and wait until you come back..."

While listening to Han Shan's words, Li Yuanjia subconsciously looked up.

Above the gatehouse hangs a plaque with three characters.

Fortunately, three years were enough for Li Yuanjia to digest the writing of this era, so he easily recognized the three characters "Shangdangmen".

Then……

"Going to the party? Why does this name always sound familiar?"

The steps under his feet paused slightly, and Li Yuanjia's brows wrinkled slightly.

He always felt that the place name Luzhou was a bit weird before. It seemed that he had seen it in the above TV series or novels, but he had never been able to remember it. Now he saw the three words "Shangdangmen", Li Yuanjia's

This feeling is getting stronger!

Could it be said that the above-mentioned great events happened here? Or was there some great person mentioned?

As he walked, Li Yuanjia couldn't help but use his brain to filter out the celebrities from the Tang Dynasty in his memory one by one: Those who can make him feel so strongly must be the most famous people in history, nothing more.

They are Taizong, Mr. Gao, the Queen, Emperor Ming...

"Huh? Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty?"
