After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.
Chapter 193 Shixian Lieutenant’s Visit
At this time, I suddenly heard the sound of applause coming from outside the yard: "Young Master, you have such handsome skills, you have a promising future!"
Mingjun quickly turned his head to look at the person standing outside the fence, "Boy Mingjun, I've met the adults!" Mingjun saw that it was the adults from yesterday and quickly saluted and said hello.
Thirteen also quickly saluted. Thirteen really didn't want to see these father-in-laws in the palace. However, contact is inevitable. This Eunuch Li probably knows Shisan but he does not know Shisan.
Eunuch Li knew that this was Military Master Xie's new disciple in Qu County. He originally thought that he was just a weak scholar like Military Master Xie. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a child with good martial arts talent.
Eunuch Li felt that the guards around the young master looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen them before. However, it was rare for him to return the favor humbly, since he was not in the capital after all.
As soon as the sound of Mingjun and Shisan's dance practice stopped, Xie Boyuan, who was reading in the morning, heard it. At this moment, he opened the door and walked out, greeting Eunuch Li: "Sir, would you like to rest? Come in and have a glass of water!"
Eunuch Li's eyes lit up, he was looking for Military Advisor Xie. Eunuch Li walked into the yard in a few steps and replied in a sharp voice: "That's great! Let's shamelessly ask for a glass of water!"
Ming Jun felt that this man's mood had changed a bit. He looked at Uncle Thirteen with some confusion, and then turned to look at his master. Xie Boyuan glanced at Mingjun and shouted: "Keep practicing! Don't be lazy!"
Mingjun stirred up his spirit and thrust out a sword with his right hand. His body also responded and began to practice swordsmanship. Thirteen looked on with his mouth twitching. Young Master Mingjun was still very afraid of Commander Xie.
After entering the house, Eunuch Li immediately knelt down to salute Xie Boyuan, but Xie Boyuan held his arm: "Eunuch Li, don't be too polite. Now I am just a master in Qu County."
Eunuch Li tried it, but the strength to support his arm was not weak, so he quickly stood up. Eunuch Li quickly explained his mission here, especially the reward of one thousand taels of silver.
The official duties assigned by the Emperor have been completed, but the matters assigned by His Highness the Crown Prince have not yet been completed! Eunuch Li secretly glanced at Commander Xie's expression and felt that Commander Xie was in a good mood.
Eunuch Li tried several times, and finally gritted his teeth and had the courage to tell the story of the mission assigned by His Highness the Crown Prince. "Thank you, Military Advisor. His Royal Highness asked you to write to him. You must bring back your handwritten letter, otherwise I will let you stay in Qu County to serve you."
Xie Boyuan had already sat down and poured himself a glass of warm water, slowly sipping it in small sips. After hearing Eunuch Li's words, Xie Boyuan curled his lips. He already had three children, and the prince still regarded himself as a child.
However, I think His Highness the Crown Prince only behaves like this in front of him now. Xie Boyuan also felt a little sorry for the prince. His father, who lost his mother when he was young, was still bent on conquering the world. Although his stepmother was his aunt, he was evil-minded.
Xie Boyuan did not continue to look at Eunuch Li, but just put down the tea cup and said: "Eunuch Li, I will rest in Qu County for a few days and experience the scenery of the northwest. I have ordered people to prepare some specialties of the northwest. I will ask you to help bring them back to the capital."
Eunuch Li thought it was okay to bring some specialties back, but the important thing was the letter the prince asked for by name. Eunuch Li was a little anxious when he saw that Military Advisor Xie was not talking to him. Xie Boyuan did not tease Eunuch Li and said directly: "I will write a letter to Jingchen and let you take it back with me when the time comes."
At this time, Lao Lu came back with breakfast. When Eunuch Li saw that it was time for him to go back for breakfast, Eunuch Li left with great gratitude.
Xie Boyuan had breakfast and was about to go to the study when he heard Lao Lu reporting that Lieutenant Shixian was coming. Xie Boyuan couldn't guess what would happen if Lieutenant Shixian came to see him alone, so he directly ordered Lao Lu to bring someone in.
Shixian Lieutenant raised his hand to salute and say hello before he entered the house. Xie Boyuan raised his eyebrows when he saw this scene and quickly raised his hand to salute and say hello.
After all, the two have been working together for more than two years, and they know who each other is. Shixian Lieutenant did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for no reason, and Xie Boyuan was not a person who had no principles even after saying a few good words.
Therefore, Shi Xianwei did not go around in circles with Xie Boyuan and went straight to the point: he wanted to ask Xie Boyuan to open a knowledge building in Ling County!
Lieutenant Shixian knew that Shiqulou was Xie Boyuan's property, so he was in charge of the county's commercial taxation. He knows very well how much income Zhiqulou can make in a year.
In fact, he also wanted to build a library with the same model in Lingxian County, but the issue of title books from different regions every year was a big problem. He could find someone to secretly copy one or two copies back from Shiqulou in Qu County, but he couldn't do this for a long time!
Through this invasion of the grassland tribes, Lieutenant Shixian could not see the origin of this master at all. He had some guesses before, but this time the guess was overturned, and Lieutenant Shixian could not guess at all.
Xiao Qingshan has always said that Xie Boyuan is a talented scholar with a lot of heart. Only Xiao Qingshan believes this, but he doesn't! However, it is always something that is not easy to mess with.
Since you can't mess with me, let's make peace with him! Shi Xianwei had actually guessed that he was going to be a county magistrate a long time ago, and he had already begun to imagine how to be a county magistrate.
He was born in the army and had no achievements in the imperial examination. He wants to be the magistrate of Lingxian County. Lingxian County cannot always be ranked last in the provincial examination results.
After much thought, Shixian Wei decided to invite Xie Boyuan to open a Zhiqulou in Lingxian County. It just so happens that Lingxian County and Quxian County are not close to each other, and the two interesting buildings can radiate to several surrounding counties.
Moreover, no one in Ling County dared to have an idea for Shiqulou as long as he was watching. He has long understood that Xie Boyuan has great ambitions in Zhiqu Building. He has never dared to open a branch because he was afraid that the local family would swallow him up.
However, his sincerity in inviting Xie Boyuan to open a branch in Ling County goes beyond this. His performance this time was also of great benefit to Li Quanyong, so he had already been in contact with Li Zhizhou through his previous relationship.
This year, all taxes in Sichuan are exempted. Next year, at most, the food tax will be reduced by half, but other taxes will be levied beyond normal. However, he has secured a three-year tax cut in half from Ling County.
Therefore, if Zhiyin Shiqulou opens in Ling County, it will be tax-free for four consecutive years! As soon as Xie Boyuan heard Shi Xianwei's explanation, his temples bulged.
When Liang Emperor Liang Shengrui and a few of them discussed tax reductions and exemptions for poor states and counties, he never imagined that the reductions would eventually fall on him.
The conditions offered by Lieutenant Shixian were so tempting that Xie Boyuan didn't even need to discuss it with Mingjun Mingjia to know that the two brothers would definitely agree. Moreover, it will also be very helpful for him to simulate the imperial examination in the future.
Xie Boyuan only thought for a moment before agreeing to Shi Xianwei. He also promised that he would immediately prepare manpower and supplies, and when Shixian Lieutenant went to take office, he would arrange for people to go to Lingxian together.
