On the second day, Mingjun and Mingjia were practicing calligraphy in the study. After listening to Chen Xiaoliu's story about what happened in the restaurant, Mingjun admired his father, but Mingjia felt a little worried: Where did my honest and lovely father go?

After Xiao Qingshan received donations of money and land deeds from several companies, he wrote a notice and posted it at the gate of the county government office that day. It was widely announced that Qu County would rebuild the county school, and the source of the money to build the county school was directly stated.

Suddenly, the whole county was discussing the county school. People are concerned about the county society enrolling children in enlightenment classes, and some wealthy families want to send their children to study.

Scholars are all concerned about which scholar will be the head of the county society. Of course, they are also concerned about the announcement that the output of 350 acres of land every year will be used as a reward for outstanding students.

Merchants are not only concerned about the fame of the four families, but also focus on a sentence in the notice: All donations will be earmarked for special use, and the account books will be published to all donors, who can check them at any time.

This sentence is unprecedented for the county government! Businessmen are the best at capturing business opportunities and crises, and they are always the first to discover problems.

If so, Mr. Xiao can really do what he said to earmark the funds. Then the development of Qu County will be much smoother in the future. The merchants who survived the war are actually very willing to see good development in their hometown.

All of a sudden, the whole county seemed to be busy. Chen Xiaoliu and several government officials were stationed at the foot of the mountain behind the county town, because more than 200 villagers were building ice caves and warehouses here.

Shisan led several government officials to stare at the construction of the county school. From the design drawings onwards, Mr. Xiao participated in the entire process.

Fourteen finally stopped guarding the gate of the county government office. He took a few government officials to protect Secretary Mu and visited various villages to promote the county's policies. Understand the situation of each village.

Cheng Si was originally supposed to stay at the county government office. He wanted to protect the military advisor, his wife, and the young master and young lady. However, Mr. Xiao always ran away, and he couldn't stay in the county government office.

Xie Boyuan is busy taking other scribes to four families to copy and collect books. How to describe the busy and weird feeling? For example, when they went to the Huang family to copy the books, the scribes named Zhao and Li were very happy.

Mingjun and Mingjia, brothers and sisters, have directly divided the work. Mingjia is responsible for the progress of book copying in Zhiqu Building. They plan to open the business before August, and some books must be in sufficient quantity.

Ming Jun was in charge of the more wretched and underdeveloped ones. He went to the county government office's study room to study as the eldest young master every day, and then went to copy books crazily. It was the book that Xie Boyuan and the others copied from four families.

Even Mrs. Dong began to prepare for the flower appreciation feast under the guidance of Mrs. Shui. He held banquets with the heads of various families in the county and started lady diplomacy. After all, if my husband wants to be the county magistrate, he needs the support of these families.

Therefore, the most idle person in the entire county government became Xiao Qingshan. When he rarely had time to spare, he always wanted to find something to do for himself.

But he didn't have much left to do. He went to inspect the construction sites of two large-scale infrastructure projects in the county.

In the remaining time, Xiao Qingshan began to think about the three cattle that Li Zhizhou had promised to give him in the fall. It is said that he was born last spring and will only be one and a half years old this fall.

Xiao Qingshan decided to find someone who had raised cattle and knew how to pick cattle, and went with him to see the cattle in advance. When Mingjun and Mingjia heard that their father was going to the breeding farm in Chuanzhou, they both wanted to go and have a look.

Considering that the journey was a bit long and he didn't know what was going on there, he didn't dare to take his son and daughter there directly. Xiao Qingshan took Cheng Si and a villager from Hexi Village. It was said that he had raised many cattle before and was very good at looking after cattle.

On the third day after Xiao Qingshan left the county government, Xie Boyuan finally received the first batch of things from the capital.

They were some books he had placed in the Duke's Mansion, as well as Li Hansheng's collection of past academic examination questions and noun examination articles from several counties around the capital. Accompanying these books was a 40-year-old woman.

Xie Boyuan looked at the woman who got off the carriage and saluted him with the palace ceremony. Then he knew that this was Li Hansheng who helped him find his mother-in-law: "What do you call this mother-in-law?"

The mother-in-law gave a gentle bow: "In response to my lord, just call me mother-in-law."

Xie Boyuan thought for a while but still wanted to mention something: "Qu County is remote, and the climate, water and soil are very different from those in Beijing. But the advantage is that there are not so many rules, and people live more comfortably."

The one who came out of Granny Yan's womb was very good at being obedient. Is this because she was afraid that if she came to Sichuan Province unwillingly, she would make that young lady angry?

"Your Majesty, you are serious. How can we servants be so delicate? The old woman likes the scenery along the way." Mrs. Yan said quickly: She missed the opportunity to leave the palace at the age of 25 and thought she would die of old age in the palace. Now this It seems like this is her chance.

Xie Boyuan saw that Mrs. Yan was very well-behaved and sincerely came to Sichuan, so he said nothing more. He brought the person into the county government office and handed the person over to Mrs. Shui. Mother Shui naturally knows how to recommend it to Mr. Dong.

"The young lady is innocent and naive, and always has some whimsical ideas. She is not as gentle as the noble ladies in the capital, but she is young and can be more lively." Mrs. Shui introduced Mrs. Yan to Mr. Xiao's family along the way. The key point is Miss.

Mrs. Yan listened very carefully, and even tried to find out something before coming. As a result, nothing was found. I originally thought that the Xiao family was keeping a low profile. After all, it was Eunuch Gao who was beside the emperor who personally appointed her here. How could she be an ordinary official?

Now that I have arrived at Xiao's house, I have more doubts in my heart. She was right about the man at the door, Military Master Xie, and it was said that he was the Crown Prince. The woman leading the way also seemed to be very well-behaved.

However, after listening to the introduction, I felt that the matron of the house still needed guidance, especially the young lady.

Mrs. Dong met the mother-in-law recommended by Mrs. Shui, and she was very satisfied. Mrs. Shui had good taste. After arranging Mrs. Yan's residence, she let her rest first, waiting for Mingjia to come back in the evening and introduce them to each other.

Mrs. Yan was stunned. She had received the news that this young lady was only 5 years old in winter. If he is not with the county government wife, has he been sent to school? Unexpectedly, there are female teachers opening schools in Qu County.

Mingjia embroiders every morning, practices calligraphy at noon, and practices other skills the next afternoon. She also has to take time to go to Zhiqulou. This kind of life has made her very busy.

At this moment, Mingjia is taking Shopkeeper Li and Accountant Li to check the quantity of various books and title volumes and make final pricing. Estimate the daily production capacity, and during the discussion, you need to recruit copywriters or start pre-sales.

At first, shopkeeper Li thought that Mr. Xiao was directing the bookstore behind the scenes, and that Mr. Xiao was just a messenger. After more than a month, shopkeeper Li finally understood that this bookstore is really managed by the young master and young lady of the Xiao family.

Moreover, despite her young age, she is not ambiguous in her views. He feels that the young lady is particularly suitable for business.
