After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

and……

County Magistrate Kang's eyes darkened, and he said, "This is not the first time that the Qin family girl has made a precise breakthrough."

Once is a coincidence, but if it happens many times, it is so smart that it is chilling.

Master Lu was stunned when he heard this, and recalled some similar things... The Qin family established themselves with the new grain of kudzu powder, and thus borrowed the power of the county government to successfully eliminate Village Chief Huang, Huang Xiaozhuang and others.

He tried to flatter the new emperor and used his power to protect the new dye business.

Use the Xue family's warehouse to persuade the local Lu family to join the Qin-Xue-Zhou alliance.

Today, we are helping the public find a new way to make money digging medicinal herbs, so as to support the disaster victims who have settled down...

Damn, he really calculates everything so accurately!

It was as if... in her eyes, people were not people, but just chess pieces in her hands. When she wanted to do something, she would just look at the chess pieces, pick up the right one, and put it into the chessboard, and then she would get what she wanted.

Nonsence!

Stop!

He couldn't think like that. How could a girl who had fled from famine be so magical?

But Master Lu couldn't help but feel frightened. He stammered for a moment and echoed, "The Qin family's daughter is indeed quite capable."

County Magistrate Kang nodded, agreeing with this.

After that, the room was silent.

After a while, Master Lu broke the silence and suggested, "Sir, why don't we find a young man from the Kang and Lu families to marry her?"

In this way, there is no need to worry about losing talents like the Qin family's daughter.

As for letting Qin Xiaomi be Young Master Kang Lang's concubine, Master Lu didn't say anything... They all knew very well that with the Qin family's daughter's temper of daring to overturn the table and challenge the merchants, asking her to be a concubine was wishful thinking.

So, let the youngest son marry her.

County Magistrate Kang nodded and agreed: "Okay, but don't rush. Let's wait a year or two. She is still young."

This is just an excuse.

The real reason is the matter of the secret formula of the new dye, which has not yet been concluded.

The aristocratic families will definitely take action against the Qin family. If the Qin family can survive the encirclement, it will not be too late for him to pick a youngest son to marry her.

If he had made the decision too early, and the Qin family had been divided up, all his work would have been in vain.

Master Lu bowed and said, "Yes, I've made a note of it and will make arrangements."

The so-called arrangement means keeping an eye on things and not letting others marry the Qin family's daughter before the Kang family.

As for Qin Xiaomi's real fiancé Jiang Dalang...

If he has a promising future, we will find the daughter of a wealthy man or a minor official to marry him as compensation.

If Jiang Dalang is incompetent, then just give him a few dozen taels of silver, or use some shady tricks to make him have an affair with other peasant girls, and his engagement with the Qin girl will naturally be cancelled.

……

Grandpa Qin, Village Chief Zhou, Doctor You and others did not leave the county government office, but waited for Qin Cunquan in the small house.

The civil service examination began at the first quarter of the evening and ended at the first quarter of the evening, a full two hours, which made Uncle Qin wait so long that he wanted to slip away several times.

But every time I would be glared back by Grandpa Qin...Don't force me to slap you!

Uncle Qin had no choice but to pull the old village chief Zhou aside to talk about gossip. After more than an hour, he found out a lot of gossip. The one that interested him most was the gossip about the ghost village.

"Tsk tsk tsk, amazing, I'm afraid there really is a ghost gate."

What a hell of a place! It's probably a place where the bodies of criminals are dumped.

However, Uncle Qin continued to be careless and suggested to Grandpa Qin: "Dad, it's Qingming Festival. When we go back, let Old Man Xun perform a ritual for us. It will make us feel at ease."

Grandpa Qin was disturbed by him for more than an hour and didn't want to pay any attention to him at all, pretending not to hear him.

But Uncle Qin didn't let him go and kept shouting, "Dad, Dad, did you hear me? Dad, tell me something. Are you going to do it or not?"

The veins on Grandpa Qin's forehead were throbbing. In the end, considering that they were in the county government office, he could only suppress his temper and said, "...Second brother, take a break and drink some water. Your voice is hoarse."

Uncle Qin was afraid that his father would get mad and something bad would happen, so he had to keep his mouth shut for a while. Ding ding ding!

At the beginning of the evening, the sound of gongs came from afar.

Another quarter of an hour later, Grandpa Qin and his friends finally met Qin Cunquan.

"Yi Ge'er's father, the exam is over!" Village chief Zhou was even more excited than Grandpa Qin. He rushed towards Qin Cunquan and wanted to ask how he did in the exam, but he knew better than to ask.

Qin Cunquan, on the other hand, laughed and looked at Grandpa Qin, Uncle Qin, and Shuli Guan, and said in a relaxed tone: "I took the four exams and I answered them all well."

The civil service examination lasts two hours and consists of four papers... half an hour on comprehensive liberal arts, half an hour on mathematics, half an hour on Wei law, and half an hour on local customs.

He sighed again, "It's good to take the exam a few months later."

If he had taken the exam earlier, he would have gotten 30% of the questions on local customs wrong, but now he has answered all of them.

"That's good, that's good." Grandpa Qin was very pleased. He glanced at the clerk Guan coming in and wanted to thank him, but he was afraid that other candidates would hear it and cause trouble.

The clerk said, "The government office is about to be locked. Let's go."

"Hey." Everyone followed the clerk Guan and left the county government office, but they were not going to the same residence.

Village chief Zhou went to live with Zhou Bantou's family.

Doctor You and his companions went to live at Guan Shuli's house.

Grandpa Qin and his friends were afraid that Qin Cunquan would cause trouble, so they avoided suspicion and did not go to Guan's house, but stayed at an inn instead.

The clerk said, "We will gather at the gate of the yamen at noon tomorrow."

Today, County Magistrate Kang has ordered the village heads and clerks of the other four towns to come to the county government tomorrow. So they will continue to come to the county government tomorrow to talk to the people of the four towns about identifying medicinal herbs and digging them for sale.

"Yeah." Grandpa Qin and the others responded, and after leaving the main street, they went to the inn booked by Jiang Dalang.

The next day, the county town was a little more lively than usual.

Just after half of the Si hour, the clerk of Shuanghe Town arrived with the four village heads.

Near noon, the clerks and village heads of Junshi Town also arrived.

Next are Huaixian Town and Leibao Town.

Grandpa Qin, Guan Shuli, Doctor You, Village Chief Zhou and others also arrived at the county government office before noon.

After everyone gathered, they went to see County Magistrate Kang together.

After discussing the matter, when they left the county government office, the clerks and village heads from Junshi Town, Shuanghe Town, Huaixian Town, and Leibao Town were all much nicer to Grandpa Qin.

Especially the people from Junshi Town and Leibao Town, they all showed respect.

"Mr. Qin, your family is truly a blessing to our Tianfu County. It's only been a little over a year since we settled here, and you've found three ways for us to make money."

The first is to sell kudzu powder and new grain, the second is to sell colored grass, and the third is to dig medicinal herbs and sell them.

Grandpa Qin said hurriedly, "I don't deserve the title of a lucky star. The main reason we dig herbs and sell them is that Wu Ze Medicine Store is kind and willing to benefit us... All the clerks and village heads can just thank Wu Ze Medicine Store. I really don't deserve it."

Uncle Qin was so angry again... Dad, can you stop being so cowardly? You should take the credit for your contribution!

"Grandpa Qin is right... Doctor You, thank you for your pharmacy. Your business is truly a life-saving grace to us." Lei, the head of Leibao Town, said this and almost wiped away tears... It is true that their Leibao Town is not only poor, but also has a bad reputation.

Why does it have a bad reputation?

Is it a sin?

Of course not, it’s because their Leibao Town is often struck by lightning.

No one knows why, but they get struck by lightning every year, which has led to rumors that Leibao Town is not a good place, and that’s why they get struck by lightning every year.

And because of his surname Lei, his Lei family was criticized even more. At the worst time, the Lei family was almost driven out of Leibao Town.

Captain Lei was thinking about the things happening in their town, and looked at Doctor You cautiously... If Wu Ze Pharmacy knew about the things happening in their town, they wouldn't dislike them and kick them out, right? !

Captain Lei was overthinking it. Doctor You was very nice to him and talked to him a lot.

……

As the people from the four towns left the county government, the news that the Qin family approached the drug store in the prefectural city and persuaded it to come to Tianfu County to purchase medicinal materials quickly spread throughout the county.

The news spread rapidly, and the name of the disaster victims, the Qin family, once again caused a sensation in Tianfu County.
