The best county magistrate

When the lanterns first came on, there were eight or nine people sitting in the private room of Youpeng Pavilion.

"Thank you, Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang has been managing the sea salt quota in Liujia Village in recent years."

"Master Yang treats our village as if we were recreating our parents. I cannot agree to your request."

"Since you have said for a while that Master Yang will come, you can just ask him directly. Whatever he says, I will do."

After Liu Si said a few words, he stopped talking. He folded his arms and looked out the window, with a slightly sad look between his brows.

"Village Chief Liu, Tianjie is taking the liberty. Come on, come on, have a glass of wine to calm down."

Xie Tianjie smiled and raised his wine glass to express his respect to Liu Si, and the other two people present also raised their wine glasses.

Several people drank together, and the atmosphere instantly relaxed a lot.

After some side dishes were served, Yang Xuanchen led Zhao Xue into the private room.

When his left foot just stepped in, Yang Xuanchen and Xie Tianjie were both stunned on the spot.

"Master, what are you doing standing still?"

"Huh? Handsome guy, why are you here?"

Yang Xuanchen's eyes flashed, and he asked: "Young Master Xie family, Xie Tianjie?"

"I didn't expect that the young master is Yang Xuanchen, the magistrate of Qingshui County. We are really destined." Xie Tianjie said with a smile.

The two of them asked and answered each other, which was quite strange.

Because the former's eyes were full of vigilance, while the latter's eyes were full of surprise and more excitement.

After the greetings, Yang Xuanchen took Zhao Xue and Liu Si and sat across from Xie Tianjie and the others.

Xie Tianjie didn't care about his precautions. His smile never disappeared after Yang Xuanchen entered the door.

Shaoyao's eyes glanced back and forth between them many times, what's wrong with the eldest young master?

Didn't he regard Yang Xuanchen as his enemy before? Why did his attitude change when they met?

Moreover, the eldest young master's eyes are so strange, as if he is looking at the person he likes.

At Xie Tianjie's signal, Shaoyao stood up and poured wine for several people.

"Master Yang, the Mengxian Wine in Shenxianju is really unique in Qingzhou, oh no, it's unique in Dayan."

"Why don't you see the Wine Fairy coming today?"

His opening remarks seemed very easy-going and friendly, but in Yang Xuanchen's ears it had a different meaning.

The gay guy next door to Mary tested me as soon as I got here. His eyes were so lewd. Aren’t you afraid of being noticed?

"I didn't expect Mr. Xie to like Mengxian Liquor. I originally thought that such a strong liquor might not be in line with your taste."

"Everyone says that Mr. Xie likes tea more than wine. It seems you shouldn't listen too much to other people's words."

Grandma’s bear, I will also block your heart and let you touch my hand in the afternoon.

Xie Tianjie naturally understood the meaning. Although he was unhappy in his heart, he did not take it for granted.

After all, he has not fully accepted the reality that the person in front of him is Yang Xuanchen. He was an enemy before but now...well, his mind is a little more flexible.

"Haha, Mr. Yang heard the rumor right. Xie really loves tea."

"Wushan Pavilion's Zixia Xiancui tea is really a first-class good tea, but it is a bit expensive. If Xie wants to drink it, he has to rely on connections to drink it."

"By the way, the Tea Fairy is also busy today?"

"Oh, no, no, you should call the two fairies madam. It was Xie who was abrupt!"

His smile and words once again made Yang Xuanchen feel uncomfortable.

Zhou Miaomiao and Yu Wei have not married him yet, and anyone who is interested will know the relationship after checking.

What's Xie Tianjie's purpose in bringing this up on purpose?

Could it be that he is telling himself that he knows everything about him and that he has a strong relationship?

No, this is just an appearance. What does he mean?

Although Yang Xuanchen had doubts in his heart, if he proposed it during the dinner, he would inevitably fall into his rhythm. This was something Yang Xuanchen did not want to see.

So he ignored Xie Tianjie's words and instead asked the question, "It doesn't matter. Mr. Xie invited me to a banquet. I wonder if you have any advice?"

Xie Tianjie's eyebrows twitched, thinking that I had already invited Liu Si here. Isn't this an obvious problem?

You are asking knowingly.

Xie Tianjie also secretly spat at Yang Xuanchen's behavior of pretending to be confused.

Since you love acting, I will act with you.

"Don't take advice seriously. Xie came here to apologize to Mr. Yang on behalf of his younger brother. Secondly, he sincerely wanted to make friends with Mr. Yang..."

With that said, Shaoyao put the gift box prepared in advance in front of Yang Xuanchen.

"What does this mean?"

"This can't be done. It's the right way to be an official if you don't commit an injustice or bring an injustice to someone else. If you take an extra cent, you'll harm the country and the people. This is the basis of being an official."

"Thank you very much, Master, for your kindness."

After Yang Xuanchen repeatedly pushed back, Xie Tianjie no longer forced himself, waved his hand and smiled.

"Sir Yang is indeed a famous official in Qingzhou, Tianjie admires him!"

"Come on, everyone, Xie proposes a toast to Mr. Yang."

"For the people of Qingshui County, and for the prosperity of Dayan."

Yang Xuanchen couldn't refuse such a hat, so he had to raise his glass and take a drink.

While drinking and drinking, several people quickly became familiar with each other, and the atmosphere became a lot more relaxed without even realizing it.

"Master Yang, next year's share of Haiyan will be auctioned on the first day of next month. I wonder if there are any new changes this time?" Xie Tianjie asked.

Yang Xuanchen glanced at Liu Si first, but didn't see anything in his eyes, and then he answered.

"There are some changes."

"The salt fields in Liujiacun have expanded a lot in recent years, and the output has also increased a lot."

"The share has been increased, but that's all. The large and small salt merchants are not the only ones in Dayan Jiuzhou."

Not just Great Yan Kyushu?

Is it possible that barbarians from the northwest will also participate in the auction?

Xie Tianjie was a little shocked by the news. He really didn't find out.

He looked at Shaoyao aside with questioning eyes, but she shook her head at him, as if to say: This is the first time this slave has heard of it.

"With your Majesty's permission, three barbarian shops will be allowed to participate in the auction for next year's share to show Dayan's goodwill attitude towards them."

"I only received the oral instructions in the past two days. I want to communicate with various merchants before the auction."

"After all, this is His Majesty's wish. If we do something ugly and cause dissatisfaction among the barbarians, it will be a serious crime."

"You also know that the situation between the north and the south is very unstable. If there is another trouble in the northwest border..."

Yang Xuanchen didn't finish what he said, leaving Xie Tianjie a lot of room to think.

This is a fact and a warning to the Xie family.

I'm warning you, Xie Tianjie, not to mess around, but to do what I, Yang Xuanchen, say, otherwise you will fall into my hands and I will be sorry.

"The share is only so small. If three foreign companies come here, wouldn't it mean that some of our people in Dayan will be squeezed out?"

asked the businessman next to Xie Tianjie.

"It's normal. Don't big and small businesses in Dayan fail to grab a share every year?"

"This is determined by the market, not by personal function."

"I am just providing good services to all businesses, treating them equally and being fair and just."

Yang Xuanchen's words blocked Xie Tianjie and some of his thoughts.

Having said this, Liu Si, who was originally grimacing, laughed.

Because these days, different people come to him every day and want to open channels from him and take some sea salt privately.

Regarding this matter, Yang Xuanchen had repeatedly explained to him since two years ago.

The bottom line of Liujiacun must be adhered to, salt must not be sold privately!

The 10% of sea salt sold in Liujiacun is so delicious that everyone wants to take a bite.

If the opportunity to sell salt privately is opened, all kinds of problems and conflicts will arise, and it will definitely be a nightmare for Liujiacun.

Therefore, at the conference two years ago, Yang Xuanchen gave a heavy punishment to the pickpocket guy in Liujiacun, in order to tell the people of Liujiacun what they could and could not do.

"Mr. Yang, I've been troubled these days. The door of my house is almost broken by these shops."

"You have to think of a way for me!"

Although Liu Si said these two sentences with a smile, they were very clever and stuck in Xie Tianjie's throats like a sharp knife.

In response, Xie Tianjie could only smile awkwardly, but he secretly hated Liu Si in his heart.

I wanted to hate him together with Yang Xuanchen, but seeing his handsome little face, I couldn't hate him now.

Is it really like what Shaoyao said, if you like someone, you want to give him good things, even if he treats you badly, it doesn't matter?
