Taoyuan County, what a lovely name.
Unfortunately, the situation in Taoyuan County is very bad.
Even before Qin Hao entered the city, he saw a line of disaster victims outside, let alone inside the city.
The city remained the same, with streets filled with disaster victims.
Due to the drought, there was simply no food to eat in Taoyuan County.
The fundamental reason is that this is the Dharma-Ending Age, and there are no Martial Artists. So if food is not grown, it means that the people will go hungry.
The drought in Taoyuan County lasted for three years. During these three years, the Taoyuan County magistrate did nothing, which led to the disaster escalating and resulting in the situation we see today.
The former magistrate of Taoyuan County had already been executed by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang of Tang.
That's why there was such a vacancy in the official position; otherwise, how could Qin Hao have become the county magistrate?
However, it's obvious that the magistrate of Taoyuan County is a complete mess.
If Qin Hao were an ordinary person, he would really be finished; he might really lose his head a year from now.
Qin Hao walked along the county magistrate's office. Along the way, the common people were all lying on the streets because they had no houses to live in.
The reason is that they sold their land and houses just to have something to eat, which has led to them becoming homeless.
All of this was caused by the wealthy people of Taoyuan County.
Soon, they arrived at the government office. Looking at the government office in front of him, Qin Hao was reminded of a movie he had seen on Blue Star called "Hail the Judge".
Because this government office really gave off the feeling of a dilapidated, run-down place.
There wasn't a single person inside the yamen (government office).
There weren't even any constables working in the yamen; the yamen was completely empty.
"Damn it, am I still a county magistrate? There's not even anyone here. If it were anyone else, I'd probably be completely finished."
As he spoke, Qin Hao casually waved his hand forward, and a miraculous scene unfolded.
Suddenly, a piece of metal appeared out of thin air in front of Qin Hao, then slowly grew larger, and soon many more materials appeared.
All these materials were combined and transformed into a large loudspeaker.
Qin Hao made 10 large loudspeakers before he stopped.
"It's great to grasp the Origin; you can do whatever you want then!"
With a smug look, Qin Hao swung his hand forward again.
Just like before, a metal block appeared in front of me, and then slowly grew larger.
Soon, a piece of steel appeared, and this continued for a long time. After a long period of time, Qin Hao produced a lot of materials.
Qin Hao assembled all the materials together, and instantly it became a convertible sports car.
Moreover, the energy used by this convertible sports car is the same energy used in the Kaiyuan Universe and the Initial Universe, which was originally intended for spaceships but is now being used for cars.
Of course, Qin Hao couldn't build a spaceship because he had never been exposed to spaceship manufacturing in the Kaiyuan Universe or the Initial Universe; otherwise, he would have wanted to build one directly.
"Hmm, not bad, this Lamborghini is indeed beautiful."
As he spoke, Qin Hao picked up a megaphone and recorded a message: "Hello everyone, I am the newly appointed magistrate of Taoyuan County. Everyone, assemble at the government office. Whoever arrives first will receive the best benefits!"
Then, after getting into the Lamborghini, I wanted to drive out, but I found that the road was full of potholes and I couldn't drive at all.
"Damn it, I should have made an off-road vehicle."
Cursing, Qin Hao got out of the car, put the Lamborghini into his spatial storage, and then rebuilt a motorcycle using the same Energy Ball.
Of course, Qin Hao also made the Energy Ball himself.
Qin Hao hopped on his Harley motorcycle and rode off into the street.
Throughout the journey, the words Qin Hao had recorded blared from the loudspeaker on the Harley motorcycle.
This immediately attracted the attention of the local residents on the street.
Qin Hao wandered around Taoyuan County for a while before leaving the city and taking a stroll around the surrounding area.
And so, after it was all over, Qin Hao rode his Harley motorcycle back to the yamen.
Upon returning, Qin Hao was stunned, because there were indeed a few people lined up at the yamen, but only a few.
Although Taoyuan County is not large, and many people have fled the disaster area, it should still have more than a thousand households.
However, even after I went all the way outside the city, only a few dozen people came.
Many people are either staying at home or continuing to sleep on the street right now.
The people waiting at the yamen were dumbfounded when they saw Qin Hao return on his strange mount.
"We have met Your Excellency!"
Qin Hao parked his motorcycle, then walked up to the group and said, "Congratulations, everyone! My office is short-staffed, and I've hired you all as constables!"
Hearing this, the group was somewhat disappointed, so they asked, "Sir, wasn't there food? Where is the food?"
"Yes, sir, if we become constables in the yamen, will we get paid?"
"Sir, we'd like to ask you, do you have the money to pay our wages?"
"Ahem, everyone, please listen to me first. I've only just taken office, so I don't have any money yet, and the imperial court hasn't allocated disaster relief funds either. But don't worry, you'll all receive your wages in a month."
"And I guarantee that if you follow me, you'll have meat at every meal. How about that?"
Qin Hao said smugly.
"Tch, sir, are you kidding us? You said there would be food at the government office, where is it? Besides, you don't even have any money, where are you going to get food, and you're eating meat every meal!"
"That's right, sir! We can't even get enough to eat these days, and you're making fun of us!"
Seeing this, Qin Hao quickly said, "Don't worry, everyone. Come on, follow me into the government office, I'll grill some meat for you!"
With that, Qin Hao got back on his Harley-Davidson motorcycle and drove towards the government office.
The dozens of people who had arrived were all hesitating in place.
"Oh well, whatever, I'll starve anyway if I leave now, might as well take a gamble!"
At this moment, a young man who was so hungry that he was practically skin and bones walked towards the government office.
Once one person started, the others naturally followed suit and entered the government office.
Sure enough, when the group entered the government office, Qin Hao had already set up a barbecue grill and was currently cooking meat.
Moreover, this wasn't just any ordinary livestock like pigs, sheep, chickens, or ducks being roasted; it was a wild beast, a massive, Great Strength Pig.
"This, this is a wild beast, Great Strength Pig!"
The first young man who followed him in was stunned, frozen in place, unable to believe it.
These wild beasts, in this Dharma-Ending Age, are even more powerful than ordinary tigers and lions; ordinary people would run for their lives if they saw them.
Of course, if it's the military, they would also hunt these kinds of wild animals.
This wild animal is highly nutritious; eating it can greatly replenish qi and blood, and significantly increase strength.
At this moment, dozens of people followed, also exclaiming in surprise, "A beast! Great Strength Pig!"
Qin Hao didn't look at them, but merely smiled slightly and said, "So? I didn't lie to you, did I? Are you willing to work for the government?"
