The county magistrate Jiang Heng was very excited about Chen Xu's sudden arrival, and was very surprised at the arrangement of playing with his niece. However, since it was a voluntary matter between Chen Xu and his niece, Jiang Hu did not ask too much.

He has heard of the changes in his niece over the past two years, but it is too far away, so he has no intention of caring about it, and he can't control it. He used to be resentful of Jiang Chuyue's attitude towards Chen Xu, but now he sees that his niece really takes care of Chen Xu as carefully as his wife, so he still feels a little hopeful that this thing can be done in a fake role and finally becomes real. Even if Jiang Chuyue can marry into a concubine, it will inevitably raise the status of Jiang's family a lot again.

Almost all the princes and princes in Xianyang had this idea to marry the daughter of the family to Chen Xu.

Marriage has always been one of the most important means for nobles to strengthen their connections, including the emperor. This is also an ancient tradition passed down from the ancient clan society. In ancient times, different clans relied on intermarriage to maintain unity and help each other, and finally gradually grew and became a large tribe.

Jiang Heng naturally knew very well about Chen Xu's purpose in Wuzhong. After specially invited Chen Xu to the study, he removed all his family and servants, he explained in detail the situation of Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu's uncle and nephew in the past two years.

"Thank you for your arrangements and inquiries from County Governor Jiang. I will only stay in Wuzhong for three or five days and then go to Langya County, and then follow the Dongfang Road to return to Xianyang. If the county magistrate has any letters or items that need to be brought back to Xianyang, Xu can take them back by the way!" After hearing Jiang Heng's news, Chen Xu put down his teacup and said with a smile.

"The Marquis is a rare trip to Wuzhong. Why not stay for a while? Gao Yan, the county magistrate of Fujian, will come to Wuzhong in a few days, and prepare to welcome the emperor in Wuzhong!" Jiang Heng said quickly.

"I left the parade team this time because I had a special arrangement, so it was not convenient to stay and visit the emperor. Moreover, please keep this matter confidential. All this trip was privately in private..." Chen Xu said with a slightly serious expression.

"So that's the case. Hengzhou Province, he will never reveal the incident of the Marquis coming to Wuzhong. In the past few days, the Marquis has temporarily lived in Heng's mansion. In this way, Heng can ask more strategies for the Marquis on governing the county!" Jiang Heng nodded and said sincerely.

"Haha, the county magistrate was joking. I came to Kuaiji all the way and found that the people along the way were simple, the grain planting and mulberry silkworm breeding were all in order, and the county town was extremely prosperous. These were all the achievements of Lord Jiang's governance. Why did Xu point out the point? Food is the most important thing for the people under his jurisdiction. As long as the people under his jurisdiction are well fed and well, they can support themselves with houses and fields, they will naturally develop smoothly. And just now, Xu asked in the city that the county town has developed very well in the past two or three years, and various businesses have flourished. With the humanities and heritage of Wudu, Wuzhong will definitely be managed by the county magistrate in a few years. When Xu comes to visit again, he may not be recognized!" Chen Xu waved his hand and said with a happy smile.

"All this is actually all due to the Marquis' lifting the ban on Shangluo. Although Wuzhong is far away from Xianyang, local merchants have already learned about the great contribution of the Marquis' lifting the ban on Shangluo through Dongfangdao and newspapers. Since the new Shangluo's decree arrived in Wuzhong, in order to implement the ban on Shangluo, Heng arranged for people to post notices to explain Shangluo in all townships under the county government, which made many merchants in the county very enthusiastic and enthusiastic. In the past few months alone, there have been more than 500 various business houses in the city, and many luxury items such as porcelain, tea, wine and vinegar in Xianyang are also sold. Therefore, the atmosphere in the city is indeed much more active and prosperous..." Jiang Heng sighed and roughly explained the changes in the county city.

"That's good, it's not in vain. I've been trying hard to make a bet with Li Si. As long as the business is prosperous, ordinary people will earn some money through labor to subsidize their household income. Over time, it will be safe. However, Xu came here because he was a pseudonym, so he was inconvenient to live in the county magistrate's mansion. He has found a place to stay. It's just in Wuhu Garden, not far from here. The environment is quiet and quiet. Lord Jiang should not make any intentional arrangements. All the food, drink, accommodation and use are all ready. In the past few days, I will wander around the city and secretly contact Uncle and Nephew Xiang Liang and his nephew will leave. Then come to pay homage to Lord Jiang before leaving. I won't disturb you today, say goodbye!" Chen Xu stood up.

"Oh, why is the Marquis in such a hurry? Heng feels very guilty and uneasy!" Jiang Heng stood up very depressedly.

"The main reason is that the fifth princess is about to give birth. Xu is very concerned about it, otherwise he will definitely stay and play for a while. Lord Jiang rest assured that Jiangnan is a place where the world is blooming and the climate is suitable and the product is rich, especially the ingredients are numerous. It is a good place to make delicious food. Xu will come to disturb him in the future. Lord Jiang must not dislike it at that time..."

"Hey, what's the saying about the marquis? If the marquis and the princess arrive, Heng will definitely sweep the streets to greet him. I think the elders of Wuzhong and many disciples of the gentry and hundreds of families will be honored..."

The two talked all the way, and Jiang Heng personally sent Chen Xu outside the gate, instructed Jiang Chuxing to take good care of him, and then watched Chen Xu leave.

"Son-in-law, how to arrange the next step?" Jiang Chuxing and his sister were still riding horses to accompany each other, while several guards were escorting around. A group of people walked slowly on the bustling streets with their hats.

Chen Xu looked at the sun in the sky and said, "It's too late today. Let's just wander around inside and outside the city for the time being. I'm going to visit two old friends tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, I will set off for Xianyang in three days. I wonder what Brother Jiang and Miss Chu Yue are planning?"

"Sanniang and I are naturally with our sister-in-law. Although Wuzhong is prosperous, we are not as knowledgeable as on the road. Besides, we may not have been back to Xianyang for a long time. Let's go back with the Marquis to visit our second and third uncles..."

Jiang Chuxing originally followed Chen Xu to Wuzhong according to his previous plan and stayed for a while before returning to Pei County, but he saw his sister's lonely expression, so he quickly changed his words.

"That's good!" Chen Xu nodded slightly.

As a county town, Wuzhong is also the capital of the former Wu Kingdom, so its prosperity is much more lively than Wancheng and the city is much larger. However, because there have been constant wars here for hundreds of years, Yue destroyed Wu, Chu destroyed Yue, Qin destroyed Chu, and the city was repeatedly destroyed. Later, after Li Si became the left prime minister, he launched a large-scale demolition movement. The remote vassal cities like Wuzhong were the first to be hit, so most of the city walls had been ruined, and many places had collapsed or even missing.

Some places have been repaired, but there are still gaps and holes everywhere. Therefore, Wuzhong cannot be said to be a complete city, so there is no decent city gate. Many places are not clearly divided into the inner and outer cities. In addition, there are crisscrossing rivers and lakes everywhere. The whole city looks very loose, with small bridges and flowing waters connected all over the world. You can see intertwined fishing boats and cargo ships in the rivers and lakes at all times, which is a typical water town scenery.

Chen Xu had never visited Suzhou in his previous life, but he knew that this was the originator of Jiangnan gardens in later generations. Suzhou gardens were the best in the world. In addition, there were silk and Su embroidery. What Chen Xu was most concerned about was the hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake.

Although crabs are not valuable in this era and people don’t like to eat them, it doesn’t mean that Chen Xu doesn’t like them. You should know that Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs in later generations are sold. The real Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs cost dozens or hundreds of dollars. Even if they are washed crabs with water, they will cost twenty or thirty yuan. Although they have eaten them, they will be eaten every time.

But at present, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are completely worthless. As long as Chen Xu is happy, he can pack Taihu Lake and Yangcheng Lake alone as a meal every day.

There are many places to visit about this historic ancient city, including the palaces of the old Wu, West Lake, Yangcheng Lake, Gusu Terrace, and palaces and city gates built by emperors of all dynasties, Changmen, Xumen, Shemen, Loumen, Qimen, etc., and you can see many ancient sites by riding on a horse.

Jiang Chuxing has been here once and is quite clear about the scenic spots and historical sites inside and outside the city. He took Chen Xu around Wuzhong, and naturally tasted some local snacks sold in roadside food halls and street stalls, such as grilled fish, dried silverfish, ice powder, etc., so after walking along the way, the group of people almost never had their mouths.

While shopping, Chen Xu naturally paid attention to the commercial development in the city.

In addition to many foot houses and food houses that can be seen everywhere in counties, the most common people are locals carrying loads and baskets. They set up stalls along the street or roaming and selling fruits, lotus roots, fish and shrimps and other aquatic products. They look very lively everywhere. At the intersection of several bustling streets with a large flow of people, Chen Xu also saw Huaxia Money House, Jiangxi Porcelain, Shuishi Tea House, Fan’s Winery and other chains that have almost opened all over the country. He even saw a newsstand in an inconspicuous corner sea, which contained these newspapers and several sets of paper Hundred Schools series. It was obvious that although Wuzhong is far away from Xianyang, it can be seen that although Wuzhong is far away from Xianyang, the information is not too behind.

Chen Xu spent thirty dollars to buy the latest newspaper, but it was still early April. From this we can see that these newspapers and books were not specially transported by fast-paced people, but were brought by caravans.

There was no content Chen Xu wanted to see in this issue of the newspaper, and it was published that the emperor was traveling to Xinzheng. There was no news about Li Shun's mission to Yuezhi. Therefore, Chen Xu could only guess that Li Shun's trip was not going smoothly. Perhaps... he might even die if he really died. When he thought that Li Shun might not be able to go to the army, Chen Xu was immediately in a bad mood. After reading a newspaper, he handed it to Xiao He, Liu Bang and others for reading.

During the next wandering, Chen Xu was still looking for his Qinghe shop for a long time, but he couldn't find it. He asked a few local people with good clothes, but they all shook their heads and said they didn't know.

It seems that Wu Zhong is too far away, and Huangfu Que has not opened a chain store here.
