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

Qu County has changed a lot from when the Xiao family first came here. After paying the grain tax this year, the atmosphere in the county has become obviously much more relaxed. The number of villagers coming to the county for consumption has increased a lot, and they all have smiles on their faces recently.

This is already the most anticipated day for the people of Qu County in recent years. Ming Jia feels that Xie Boyuan's suggestions are very good, and the people actually ask for very little, so now they are starting to prepare spiritual food for them.

After confirming the time for the opera, Xiao Qingshan personally took Cheng Si around the streets and alleys of the county government several times, especially at each city gate. When I returned to the county government office, I urgently summoned all the government officials to make a security plan in advance.

The reason is that Xie Boyuan reminded that whenever there is a large gathering, the most fearful thing is that there will be kidnapping or theft. Mingjia suggested deploying in advance and setting up patrols in various streets and cities.

The county government is short of manpower, so Xiao Qingshan has become accustomed to borrowing manpower from nearby villages. More than a dozen villages around the county are now firm supporters of Mr. Xiao.

In the county government hall, Xiao Qingshan invited a dozen village chiefs in advance. Each village chief has brought several strong young men from the village, and they are all standing in the yard at the moment. The hall cannot fit.

"Xiao Mou thanks all the village chiefs for bringing people to support, I'm very grateful!" Seeing Mr. Xiao being so polite, the village chiefs hurriedly said goodbye. The use of cattle next spring and the distribution of fruit saplings are all real benefits.

Xiao Qingshan stopped being polite and assigned tasks directly. Cheng Si and other four masters, each with a scribe, two government officials and twenty villagers, guarded a city gate.

Moreover, a death order was issued that all vehicles entering the city must be registered, and they can only leave the city through the door they enter through. You will also need to be inspected when leaving the city. Other government officials each led a group of villagers to patrol the city, each carrying a gong or whistle.

Many residents of the county town have been interviewed by the county magistrate in advance. During the days of the county town gathering, if they hear the sirens from the government officials, they will come to help. Anyone who catches the prisoner will be rewarded. Those with outstanding performance can directly become yamen servants next year.

All streets in the county have prepared water tanks in advance to prevent water leakage. Xiao Qingshan, the head of each major family, also made appointments in advance to have tea without saying anything.

This security plan was thought up by Xiao Qingshan, Xie Boyuan and Ming Jun Mingjia, and they tried to avoid any surprises. There can be no accidents on festive days.

On the seventh day of October, many street vendors from Linxian County came here. There is only one clerk at each city gate to register, so the speed of entering the city is very slow. Fortunately, it is only a county town, and the flow of people is not too much.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the troupe. Qu County has not been so lively for many years.

On October 12th, early in the morning, the sound of babbling and singing came from the street. All the people who could be sent out by the county government were sent out, and the place suddenly became much emptier.

Xiao Qingshan came to the backyard and asked Mr. Dong if he wanted to go shopping too. He can take Dong and his children to go shopping together. Ms. Dong was very excited, but decided to wait two days before going.

Mingjun couldn't sit still listening to the sounds outside, and couldn't calm down while holding the brush. Look at the master and then look at the sister. What should I do? He really wants to go out and listen to the opera~~

The first day passed without any danger. Before nightfall, the streets in the county government office were gradually cleared. Everyone returned to the county government office. There was a collapse in the hall and courtyard. The farmers who had just experienced the autumn harvest were exhausted.

They used to think that the county government officials were very easy to work. Patrolling every day was like taking a walk and they would get money. They all envy the government officials. Nowadays, a day's experience is more tiring than harvesting crops.

It was arranged that everyone would go back to rest. In the county government study room, four people each had a city gate registration book and looked through it. Despite Mingjia's young age, she can quickly find problems by looking at these things.

"There are more than fifty traders entering the city from the north gate alone, and there are nearly a hundred horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and flatbeds." Mingjia quickly read the brochure in her hand, and she felt that inspections would need to be stepped up tomorrow.

A few years ago, there were people selling their children and daughters everywhere even if they didn’t have enough to eat. There have been a lot of kidnappings and trafficking of children in the past two years. There were very few incidents in Qu County before, mainly because the kidnappers disliked the remoteness and being too poor.

Last month, Chen Shaoang wrote to Xiao Qingshan saying that there were kidnappers in Ningzhou and asked Qu County to pay attention.

It was peaceful for two days. The patrol team caught several habitual thieves and put them under surveillance. There was nothing unusual about the four city gates, but Mingjia always felt unsure, as if it was too quiet!

But Mingjia has been comforting herself that maybe she has never organized offline activities with so many people! Tomorrow is the last day of the big gathering, I hope everything goes well.

After breakfast the next day, Xiao Qingshan and Dong took Mingjia out for shopping. Mingjun offered to be alone with Xie Boyuan, not wanting his master to be alone.

The street was very lively, and Ming Jia actually saw a few faces with deep eye sockets and high nose bridges. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether they were from Daliang or not. Mingjia has no interest in foreign merchants, but is very interested in their products.

Xiao Qingshan was afraid that too many people would crowd his little daughter, so he kept his daughter in his arms. Which direction to go depends entirely on Mingjia's command. Soon we arrived at the stalls of several foreign businessmen.

"Dad, are they foreigners?" Mingjia asked softly, lying on his father's shoulder. Xiao Qingshan glanced at the busy stall owner, "Don't talk nonsense, we are also from Daliang. This is a caravan coming from Ningzhou."

Mingjia understood, and felt that it was not easy to be the governor of Ningzhou. To develop the economy, we must also consider the issue of ethnic integration. Then, all attention is attracted by a series of products.

chili! ! ! And it’s sun-dried red pepper. Foreign businessmen strung red peppers as decorations and hung them in the corner of the stall. Mingjia didn't like spicy food in her previous life, so when she went out to eat hot pot with her friends, she always ordered slightly spicy food.

But at this moment, looking at Chili Pepper, she couldn't help but drool. "Dad, I want this!" He quickly pointed it out to Xiao Qingshan. Xiao Qingshan thought that his daughter looked good, so he would buy it if he liked it.

Finally, the foreign businessman sold it to Xiao Qingshan for 10 cents. He also specifically told the children not to put this in their mouths and not to eat it.

Mingjia noticed that the foreign businessmen had no accent at all, which showed that they had been learning Chinese for many years. Mingjia doesn't understand the singing style of the current opera troupe, and is not curious about the opera troupe.

When passing by Zhiqu Building, I saw that the building was crowded. Shopkeeper Li was doing a quick calculation at the counter, and Mingjia felt that she could make a good plan for next year's investment.

We walked around until noon. We originally planned to go to a restaurant to eat, but it turned out that the only restaurant in Qu County was already full. Just as he was about to turn around and go home for dinner, he suddenly heard someone calling Xiao Qingshan downstairs.

It turned out that in a private room on the second floor, several family heads from Qu County gathered together to drink. Someone saw Xiao Qingshan and wanted to invite Xiao Qingshan to come with him.

Seeing this, Mrs. Dong took Mingjia from Xiao Qingshan: "Go and do your work. You have been with us all morning." Xiao Qingshan touched his daughter's little head and looked at Mrs. Shui and Mrs. Yan: "You two Take good care of your wife."
