After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

The results of the scribe examination were announced three days later. A bookkeeper named Xu passed the examination and became the county government's bookkeeper. Three of the remaining four clerks came from three major families. The last spot was won by a scholar named Mu.

In order to convince all those who take the exam, the answer sheets of all successful candidates will be posted at the gate of the county government office. The development of some counties is very close to people's livelihood issues. The children of wealthy families in the city have watched and learned from their elders since they were young, and they actually speak more meaningfully.

When Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan were reviewing the examination papers, they kept sighing. Some of them are indeed not a matter of knowledge, but a matter of vision and knowledge. Many children from poor families are incompetent in ordinary affairs.

At first, he only got 150 taels of silver from the government office in Zhoucheng, and he hired government servants during this period. Famous craftsmen were also invited to help select sites to build ice cellars and warehouses suitable for storing fruits and vegetables. Finally, a group of villagers were recruited to build them.

Most of the money has been spent in two months. The county government still had no clue about the next income, so Xiao Qingshan looked at the account books compiled by Xu Accounting Office and was so anxious that he burst into tears.

This small amount of money cannot motivate the people of the county. Nowadays, those who can come to the county government to earn wages are still somewhat capable. Most of the really poor people still have no ability to make money. They are hungry and cannot really wait for the autumn harvest! !

Xiao Qingshan was recently discussing with Xie Boyuan how to get more money and create more job opportunities for the people in the county. Even though it took less than 200 people to build the ice cellar and warehouse, there were many more people selling wood, stone and even food nearby.

At this moment, Cheng Si walked in with several invitations. "Master, the Zhao family, Huang family and Li family in the city have all written greeting cards." He said and handed over the greeting cards.

Xiao Qingshan took it over and looked at it. He had been in Qu County for two months before he handed over the greeting card. Xie Boyuan also looked at the invitations, and he was quite united. He chose their children as scribes, and they all wrote invitations.

Now both of them have the same idea, how to kill the big players? I didn't take the initiative to find them before because I didn't want to be left behind. Now I took the initiative to send them to my door. If I didn't pick up more, I would be very sorry for myself as a county magistrate.

Xiao Qingshan thinks that the county school should be established. The county can allocate a piece of land to the county school for free, but building houses and dormitories requires money!

Xie Boyuan felt that the children of these three families were well educated. They were not at all like the uneducated young men from wealthy families in ordinary counties. They must have a lot of books at home.

The two hit it off immediately and recruited Cheng Si, who ordered him to book a private room at the only restaurant in the county. After confirming the time, he went to the three houses to inform them that the county magistrate Mr. Xiao was going to host a banquet for the three heads of the house.

Xiao Qingshan and Xie Boyuan began to discuss specific speech techniques. This kind of thing requires tacit cooperation to achieve the effect. When Mingjun and Mingjia arrived, they saw two grown men discussing something with evil smiles on their faces.

Mingjia is not clear about the final plan execution. However, it is said that the three family heads were very happy when they entered the restaurant that day. Each family also brought outstanding children with them.

Mr. Xiao's box door was always open, and a circle of people were chatting and drinking, which could be seen and heard by many people in the hall. Suddenly, Mr. Xiao's voice was very surprised: "Is what the Zhao family said true? Are you willing to donate 200 taels of silver to help the county government rebuild the county school?"

The whole restaurant was quiet for a moment, Jianxian School! That is a great thing that benefits the people! Everyone's attention turned to Mr. Xiao's box, and Mr. Xiao stood up excitedly to salute the head of the Zhao family: "Xiao Mou thanks the head of the Zhao family on behalf of all the students in Qu County!"

The head of the Zhao family has now recovered from his initial confusion. He didn't feel angry that someone had cheated him out of 200 taels of silver. Instead, he was a little excited. The county magistrate was quite capable of establishing himself in the county so quickly.

The Zhao family just handed over the greeting card now, but Mr. Xiao was not angry. The county school was willing to take the Zhao family with him for such a good thing to improve his reputation. Although 200 taels of silver is not a small amount, but now that the court has stabilized, this amount of money is very cost-effective as a long-term investment.

The head of the Huang family and the head of the Li family on the side were a little anxious. This kind of good thing cannot only benefit the Zhao family. The imperial court emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. It was not easy for merchants to gain a good reputation. They all said that they were also willing to contribute 200 taels of silver to fund county schools.

In an instant, the head of the Zhao family quit his job, yet he still took the credit so openly! Suddenly, I heard a man's voice outside the box and remembered: "My brothers, I am very impressed by how generous these brothers are. We are willing to donate 50 acres of fertile land to reward outstanding students."

Everyone looked outside and saw a somewhat stout middle-aged man walking in. Everyone from the same county knows each other, the head of the Zhou family. The three family heads instantly turned cold, hum! The Zhou family is just a second-rate family in the county that is not outstanding.

However, the three people with cold faces kept their minds spinning. Donate land and then use the land’s output to support students with outstanding academic performance! What a great idea! It is much smarter than them giving gifts directly to scholars and candidates.

"Ha! Only 50 acres of land is worth mentioning in front of Mr. Xiao. My Zhao family donated 200 taels of silver and 100 acres of fertile land." The head of the Zhao family spoke first after a moment of silence.

The head of the Huang family and the head of the Li family cursed secretly in their hearts: "Old man, you are so shameless!" and then said that they would donate in the same way. The head of the Zhou family stopped talking and watched the show with a smile.

Seeing that his goal was half achieved, Xiao Qingshan felt much more relaxed. Acting with these old foxes was too tiring, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on. He quickly invited the head of the Zhou family to the table and invited everyone to drink and eat.

After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Qingshan saw that the time was almost up and gave Xie Boyuan a wink. He placed the wine glass heavily on the table, "Oh!" He sighed deeply.

As a master, Xie Boyuan quickly asked Mr. Xiao why he was sighing. Xiao Qingshan bluntly said that he came from a poor family and knew that it was not easy to be a scholar, especially when there was a serious shortage of books.

Then he said that he decided to donate a copy of all his books to the county school, hoping to give some help to the students of the county school. It's a pity that I have too few books, so I feel guilty that I have limited help!

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several family heads turned ugly. Not only did they donate money, but they also donated land, and now they were actually targeting their family's book collection. This Mr. Xiao must be too evil-hearted.

The head of the Zhou family, who had the stiffest face, was given the task of donating 50 acres of land, gaining a good reputation and cheating three families at the same time. He was so happy, and he didn’t even mention that he wanted to donate books!

Finally, when the banquet was over. All the diners in the restaurant saw Mr. Xiao and Master leaving the restaurant happily, and several family owners looked bad.
