Chapter 932 Surprise Inspection

After leaving Guangzhou, Wu Changqing took the Beijing-Guangzhou line all the way north, passing Huizhou, Heyuan, and Xinfeng, and stopped at Xinfeng Station.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing to inspect in this Xinfeng. It has not been developed for the time being, and it is mainly based on primitive agricultural planting."

Qu Yan, minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources, said that he has a good understanding of developments across the country.

This Xinfeng is really nothing to see. If it weren't for the fact that the railway passed by here and a station was set up, there wouldn't be many people in the county town of this place.

"Let the others stay, you guys will go with me to Nanxiong."

Wu Changqing only made arrangements and did not explain to these people.

As an emperor, he naturally doesn't need to explain to others what he does, and even needs to maintain a sense of mystery.

The places Wu Changqing visited before were notified in advance, and the local officials would definitely be prepared, and they would only show the good side and hide all the bad things.

Wu Changqing can only see the good side of the development, but he cannot see the problems in the development. Therefore, the inspection is actually a cosmetic project.

If you want to see more truths in the world, you can only engage in surprise attacks.

What's more, the places he attacked couldn't be places like Heyuan Xinfeng, which he would inevitably pass through. Although these places were not told to inspect, the local officials would definitely make some preparations in advance just in case.

Therefore, Wu Changqing simply played the big game and directly chose Nanxiong, who is next to Xinfeng.

He believed that no one would have guessed that he would suddenly go to inspect Nanxiong, so he would naturally be able to see the most real side.

Moreover, he has another important reason to go to Nanxiong.

Because he was from Nanxiong before he crossed over in his previous life.

Going back this time is not about seeing his hometown, after all, he is not sure if this is the time and space of the past, or a parallel moment, or something else.

It just happened that Xinfeng was close to Nanxiong, and then he wanted to conduct a private visit with a micro-service, so he decided to go there, that's all.

"As ordered."

The people below can only make preparations in a hurry.

Wu Changqing didn't say why the emperor suddenly went to Nanxiong, and no one else dared to ask.

However, they all guessed the reason why Wu Changqing wanted to conduct a surprise inspection, but they couldn't guess why it was Nanxiong.

Most of the troops stayed in Xinfeng, such as those foreign ambassadors, and the two empresses and others.

It is easy to see some disgraceful phenomena during surprise inspections, and naturally foreign ambassadors cannot see them.

As the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized. If you know your own problems, you can correct them silently. There is no need to make the whole world know and damage Dahua's image.

Many things have a 'magnification effect' in the propaganda.

For example, now foreign countries only pay attention to Dahua's Nanjing, Shanghai and other cities, and they think that all places in Dahua are like this, and they are extremely envious.

However, if others publicize Dahua's rural areas and mountainous areas and ignore Nanjing and other places, foreigners will think that Dahua is nothing more than that.

Not to mention today's era where information transmission is difficult, even the development of the Internet in later generations still has this effect.

As for now, it is even more obvious.

In addition to those ambassadors, Wu Changqing's concubine, and some veteran officials were also retained to save them from suffering.

Although there is an official road from Xinfeng to Nanxiong, this official road is small and bumpy.

People who are not in good health really can't bear it.

There is nothing dangerous about this section of the road, the main reason is that the economic value is not great, and the trade between the two places is not much, so the officials of the two places are lazy to spend money to build the road.

Fortunately, Wu Changqing is not such a delicate person, and when he was young and strong, a little bump could not stop him from moving.

The emperor was going to Nanxiong, and everyone had different reactions.

Among them, Lai Youlin, the magistrate of Nanxiong County, was the most nervous.

He originally came to Xinfeng this time to sign in and finish the job. How could he have imagined that the emperor passed by hundreds of counties on the way and didn't go to inspect, but he wanted to inspect his Nanxiong County. It was really bad luck to visit his grandma's house.

Is there anything special about Nanxiong County?

Lai Youlin couldn't figure it out.

But this is not important anymore, what is important is that the emperor is going to inspect, and he did not prepare in advance.

If you were an upright official with a clear conscience, it wouldn't be a big deal if you didn't prepare, so let the emperor see it.

But the problem is that Lai Youlin is not an upright official.

Lai Youlin really wanted to persuade, Nanxiong is a poor place with poor mountains and rivers, there is really nothing to see.

However, he didn't dare to say that.

Whether it is the emperor or the ministers, in his opinion, they are all human beings, people who are smarter than himself.

Such persuasion by myself is almost equivalent to telling them that Nanxiong has a problem.

Not only can't persuade, but also have to show a grateful appearance.

The motorcycle troops of the Imperial Guard cleared the way, and Wu Changqing and some important ministers followed in cars.

Lai Youlin, who was not eligible to be interviewed by Wu Changqing, also sat next to Wu Changqing at this time, and introduced Nanxiong's situation to Wu Changqing.

"Nanxiong is a place with inconvenient transportation, little arable land, and few water sources. People's lives are very difficult..."

Lai Youlin began to complain, but Wu Changqing was unmoved.

He may be more aware of Nanxiong's geographical conditions than Lai Youlin.

Tongxian Township, also known as Wujing in later generations.

Wu Changqing stopped at this place, entered the village, and saw the most authentic ancient countryside.

There are many men's clothes drying on some bamboo poles at the entrance of the village. As for women's clothes, they are usually dried on the back of the house, so that no one can see them.

This custom has not changed in the twentieth century.

There was a big yellow dog swaying at the entrance of the village, but when it saw Wu Changqing and the others, it didn't dare to bark, as if it was overwhelmed by the momentum of Wu Changqing and the others.

The villagers in the village also looked at them nervously. An old man boldly approached them and asked them in local dialect.

This is a very small dialect, a little bit like Hakka, but very different from Hakka. Not local, generally can't understand what they are saying.

Lai Youlin also worked here as the county magistrate for two years, and only then could he barely communicate. The other people who accompanied him were all dumbfounded.

"This is our Majesty Dahua, you should kneel down quickly."

Lai Youlin yelled at the villagers, who immediately knelt down.

Among these people, some don't even know what an emperor is, and not many people even know Lai Youlin. Just looking at Wu Changqing and his party's majesty, they were instinctively afraid.

Then, Lai Youlin explained the translation to Wu Changqing.

"Let them get up, I'm just here to take a look around and learn about their lives."

Wu Changqing looked at the sallow and emaciated villagers, feeling dissatisfied and confused in his heart.
