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

Xie Boyuan was stunned. Did Mrs. Shui betray him? It can't be said that he wrote a letter back to ask Li Hansheng and Li Guogong to help find it! After thinking about it, he had to say that he had a very reliable relative in the capital. This was the mother-in-law that his family planned to release out of the house for retirement.

The implication is that this woman is trustworthy. After hearing this, Mingjia stopped asking further questions. However, she also learned that Yuan Bo's identity was higher than she had guessed.

Because she noticed that Mrs. Shui subconsciously bowed slightly when she passed by Mrs. Yan just now, and then there was the serious aura of Mrs. Yan. Does it mean that Mrs. Yan has a higher background than Mrs. Shui?

Forget it, don’t think about it anymore. Zhiqulou will open in three days, hoping to win a lot of praise.

Xiao Qingshan, who had been away from home for a few days, finally came back, looking excited. As soon as he came back, he took Xie Boyuan to the study to discuss the matter, for fear that others wouldn't be able to tell that he had a secret.

"Are you telling the truth?" Xie Boyuan was surprised. He didn't blame him for losing his composure. What Xiao Qingshan said really mattered too much.

The imperial court spent a lot of effort and countless manpower and material resources to build breeding farms in various states. Every year, each farm needs to report and assess how many cattle, sheep and other livestock are born, how many are sold, and deaths and injuries.

Cattle have always had one litter per year, and each litter has only one calf. Sheep are said to be able to give birth to two lambs per litter, but often one of them cannot keep up with the nutrition, and in the end only one can survive.

Xiao Qingshan just took a villager to live in a breeding village for a few days, and when he came back, he told him that there was something fishy about the breeding village in Chuanzhou. Some farm cattle actually give birth to two calves in one litter, and sheep have three lambs in one litter.

"I don't understand this, but the old man Liu who is with me does. He has seen it, especially the lambs that were just born at the beginning of this summer, and they are not yet weaned," Xiao Qingshan told Xie Boyuan with certainty.

Moreover, Old Man Liu had carefully counted the number of each type of livestock in the breeding farm. Both his son and daughter have the habit of recording data and information because they write travel notes. Xiao Qingshan also has the habit of recording now. Xie Boyuan fell silent after reading the record.

Xiao Qingshan was thinking about how to use this secret to buy more cattle at a cheap price to benefit the people of Qu County. But Xie Boyuan thought too big. There are breeding farms in every state.

However, the proportion of new students is basically the same every year, and the Animal Husbandry Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing has never raised any different opinions.

Come to think of it, there is only one county magistrate in the world who can take the note approved by the prefect to go to the breeding farm to select the cattle in person!

Farmers across the country, if this was investigated, a lot of aristocratic families and officials would be involved. Xie Boyuan's first reaction was to write a letter to Li Hansheng, asking him to get sick quickly and not to blame him.

The previous smuggling of official salt only involved the Liu family, and many aristocratic families in the capital were happy to see the fall of the Liu family. Except that Concubine Liu and the second prince hated Li Hansheng, they really had no real impact on Li Hansheng.

The main reason is that without the support of the Liu family, Concubine Liu and the second prince are like toothless tigers. Just dealing with people who add insult to injury is enough for them to do.

But I don’t know how many people’s money bags will be affected by this incident. If the news leaks out, it may not be impossible to confiscate the homes and exterminate the clan.

Li Hansheng must avoid this matter.

Xiao Qingshan was still chattering about what he had seen this time, and wanted Xie Boyuan to help him think of a way to buy more cattle.

Xie Boyuan had no choice but to say: "Mr. Xiao, I already have an idea about this matter, but it involves a lot. As the county magistrate, you'd better not come forward. I'll send someone to contact you."

After coaxing Xiao Qingshan to go back and rest, Xie Boyuan took out the letter paper and started writing a letter. There are two letters in total, one to Li Hansheng and one to the emperor.

The letter to Li Hansheng simply said that he had received the question booklet and expressed his gratitude. But it's just too limited around the capital. I hope Li Hansheng can go to other places in person to help collect more question books, especially those in Jiangnan.

At the end of the letter, I did not forget to express my expectation to receive the new question booklet as soon as possible. It is also mentioned that he also wrote a letter to the emperor.

The letter to the emperor directly talked about the discovery that Quxian County Magistrate Xiao Qingshan cared about the people of Quxian County and personally took people to select cattle. The numbers of various livestock that Old Man Liu had counted are also attached.

After writing the letter, Xie Boyuan called Cheng Si and specifically asked Cheng Si to write two letters, one urgent and one not urgent. The question is that the courier reversed the two letters and rushed the letter to the Duke.

Xie Boyuan felt that he and Li Hansheng had no tacit understanding in life, but they had a perfect tacit understanding when they were marching to fight or plotting against others.

I hope Li Hansheng will not let him live up to his report. He really offended all the major families, and the emperor didn't know if he could save him.

On the eighth day of August, Zhiqu Building opened. The announcement started half a month in advance, and the hot opening scene can already be expected. Because the 30-seat borrowing quota per day on the second floor was full on the day of the announcement, and all reservations until the end of the month were full.

In recent days, many students from other counties have come here. Shopkeeper Li received Ming Jia's instructions and said that he would hold a meeting on the eighth day of August to continue applying for borrowing cards.

There is no county school in Qu County yet, and scholars in the county are scattered in academies in various surrounding counties and prefectures. After only one day of trial operation, the news spread in various colleges. Of course, apart from the scholar who made the review, many people were also curious about the third floor.

When the auspicious time came, shopkeeper Li lit the firecrackers himself. Without saying anything else, he opened the door directly to welcome guests. Accountant Li took several newly trained servants and stood ready at different locations in the building.

The 15 scribes even wore uniform clothes and sat at desks in the hall on the first floor. If you look carefully, you will find that there is a sign in front of everyone's desk with different words written on it.

It is divided into three different groups, namely the reservation group, the opinion group and the book search group. Each person has a booklet to record problems they may encounter. In fact, the fifteen of them were very surprised. They had never heard of such a bookstore.

The scholars who had been waiting for a long time entered the Shiqu Building in an orderly manner. Some people couldn't wait to go to the bookshelf to find the books they had liked before. Some people hurriedly went to the second floor to find the question book they liked.

The scholar selling books on the first floor soon discovered that he liked several books and couldn't bear to put down any of them. There are also some books that are already empty on the bookshelf before I can get them.

The scholars who had reserved a seat on the second floor were pleasantly surprised. Each of them had an independent box. No wonder it can only accept thirty appointments per day. I can only borrow one question book at a time and bring it into the box, which is very confusing.

At the beginning, fifteen copyists watched everyone choose and buy books. There were even a few young men who started fighting over poems for a book, and they were very happy to watch.

Soon, the finger was pointed at them, with many customers asking directly. Why did it take so long for them to copy only so many books? The scribes were also very unjust. They did not stop at all.

Finally, I heard that you can reserve your favorite books for priority copying, and I felt a lot more polite in an instant.

As for the book-hunting area, it was surrounded by many people, with all kinds of books they wanted to find. Many of them are books that I have heard about from Mr. Academy but have never seen before, and there are also many unique copies.

Xie Boyuan mingled in the crowd and listened to these scholars reporting their book titles, and he began to feel sorry for his own collection of books. Half a lifetime's hard work can't be saved.
