The best county magistrate

"I will be nineteen next month. I am also a young man."

"I want to guess lantern riddles too!"

Yang Xuanchen muttered a few words, but received a fierce glare from Yan Chenghai.

"If you guess any lantern riddles, it's all a matter of fun for talented people and beautiful ladies."

"They were all hugging each other. They were just joining in the fun and just sitting and chatting with us old men."

Under Yan Chenghai's overtly derogatory and covertly flattering tone, Yang Xuanchen had no choice but to sit down, pick up the wine glass and drink the wine.

Looking at you old men, you might as well go see the beautiful women.

Li Changliu laughed and said, "Chenghai can't pass it. After all, Xuanchen is here with some fun."

"Although I have been a county magistrate for almost a year, I am still a young man."

Yang Xuanchen smiled at him. Lord Jijiu was still considerate and knew how to sympathize with his subordinates.

He turned around and curled his dissatisfied lips towards Yan Chenghai.

His naughty appearance made everyone laugh.

"A playful and smiling person, nothing serious."

"By the way, when did I get married to Miss Zhou, why didn't you give me an invitation and treat me to a wedding drink?"

Hearing this, Yang Xuanchen touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "What's the matter!"

"Isn't this Miaomiao using me as a shield, otherwise she would have fascinated all these talented people with her appearance."

Yan Chenghai put down his wine glass and said teasingly, "Miss Zhou held her hand very tightly just now."

"And even more boldly, he invited Qingzhou talented people to drink for my husband."

He paused and said earnestly: "Xuanchen, don't betray the beauty, do you understand?"

After being reminded by him, Yang Xuanchen finally woke up.

Although the relationship between the two is not clearly defined, he can feel Zhou Miaomiao's dependence and care on him.

Yang Xuanchen looked at Yan Chenghai, smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let her down."

A few people chatted casually, and Ma Fugui finally managed to get away from the big guys with his extremely high emotional intelligence.

At this time, he was having a lively chat with Fu Chuan, the head of the Fu family.

Yang Xuanchen came close to Yan Chenghai and Li Changliu, "Mr. Li, Master Yan, hey hey hey hey."

"Why are you laughing? Be serious. What do you want to say?" Yan Chenghai asked.

"I would like to invite you two to go to Qingshui County to inspect and provide comments and suggestions."

"Currently, Qingshui County has brick kilns, glaze workshops, cement factories, and Shenxianju."

"Oh, by the way, I have built a few vegetable and fruit greenhouses in Mangshan in the south. I have ripened a batch of cold melons in the past few days..."

Before Yang Xuanchen finished speaking, a cry of surprise turned the eyes of several people over.

"What did you say? Hangua?"

"Where did the cold melon come from in the first month of the year? Are you kidding me?"

Yan Chenghai blew his beard and stared, how could he believe what he said.

This cold melon is watermelon, a product of greenhouse cultivation that Yang Xuanchen tried his best to produce.

"No, you said that brick kilns and glazing are common industries, but what does the cement factory do?"

Yang Xuanchen smiled mysteriously, "This cement is a good thing. It can be used to build houses, pave roads and build city walls."

"You can find out if you come to Qingshui County and see us. How about we leave tomorrow?"

At this time, Li Changliu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Chenghai, I will be returning to Beijing soon. It's easier to go back from Qingshui County."

"Why don't we leave tomorrow to take a look? You can also see what this kid has made."

"There are still three years until the exams. I heard that Your Majesty and Master value Xuan Chen very much. You should be more attentive."

Yan Chenghai said: "Since Mr. Li said it, let's leave tomorrow for Qingshui County."

Here, Fu Chuan and Ma Fugui also became interested when they heard the sound.

"Mr. Li, Sir Yan, I wonder if Mr. Fu can go with us?"

After glancing at Li Changliu and receiving tacit approval, Yan Chenghai nodded, "Then let's go together."

In the following days, a word, a poem, and a song from the Lantern Festival Wenhui originated from Linjiang City and spread to all parts of Dayan.

The literati who came here because of its reputation all set their first stop at Wangyue Tower.

Because there are three couplets hanging in front of the building that are eternal and absolute.

Reward thousands of reds.

At the same time, in the south industrial park of Qingshui County, three days away from Linjiang City, Yang Xuanchen was reporting on the major and minor affairs of the past year.

"The population is 32,088, and all industries are thriving."

"Oh, by the way, your Majesty issued an imperial decree before, granting the official title of Qingshui County Male, and the fiefdom of Qingshui County..."

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?" Yan Chenghai felt depressed.

"Ah? I thought Lord Yan already knew." Yang Xuanchen replied.

Yan Chenghai waved his hand, "The court can make a lot of money from the salt tax alone, that's all. It doesn't hurt that Qingzhou lacks your Qingshui County tax."

Yang Xuanchen curled his lips and put on a smile. I don't dare to think about salt, but other industries have begun to operate. The taxes in Qingshui County are not as small as you think.

"Master Li, Master Yan, Master Fu, we are currently in Liulicang, Qingshui County."

Following the direction of Yang Xuanchen's finger, everyone looked.

Fu Chuan rubbed his eyes, surprised, "Mr. Yang, this...is this glass? How come it is so clear and transparent?"

"Ah...it's colored glaze, but the craftsmen have improved the craftsmanship, and what they make now is called glass."

"All the newly built houses in Qingshui County use glass. It has strong light transmittance and can protect against cold and heat. People like it very much."

"When the second phase of the workshop is completed, the glass will be sold throughout Dayan."

As he spoke, Yang Xuanchen took several mirrors from Butou's hand.

"My lords, I give you these little gadgets."

"All the girls here like it, and I believe all the daughters of you adults will also be very happy."

Li Changliu held up the mirror and looked at it, and exclaimed again, "This...is this a mirror with one hundred and two sides?"

This time it was Yang Xuanchen's turn to be shocked. He grabbed the cloth bag that was about to run away, "Director of the cloth factory, tell me, what happened? Did you sell this mirror to the capital?"

Butou timidly told the truth in the end.

Yang Xuanchen patted Butou on the shoulder and did not blame him. After all, as the head of a factory, he always had some social skills.

However, the professional ethics of these people must be strengthened in the future. This new product can make money and will break the pattern of this era. Unified planning must be achieved.

Then Yang Xuanchen accompanied the smiling face and said, "Mr. Li, is this mirror so popular in Shangjing City?"

Li Changliu looked at him as if he were a fool, "More than just a hot shot!"

"As soon as this mirror appeared in Shangjing City, it caused a sensation. Except for the first mirror, which was bought for one hundred taels, the remaining nine pieces were all put into the palace."

Yang Xuanchen rubbed his hands nervously. Fortunately, only ten mirrors leaked out, otherwise he would have suffered great losses.

He stared at Budou fiercely, waved his hand, and told him to go about his business.

Then he led everyone to the cement factory outside the city. At the beginning, it was still a dirt road.

But as they walked, a smooth road with a gray light appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Hey, what a great effort. Where did you find the stonemason to pave the stone road so smoothly?" Yan Chenghai asked.

Zhang Panfeng, who was on the side, took over with a smile, "Sir, this is not a stone road. Our master said this is a cement road."

"The newly built factories outside the city are all built with red bricks from the brick kiln factory and cement. Naturally, the road is also paved with cement."

"My brother is the director of the county government workshop. He is leading workers to build roads in Liujia Village. He said that in the spring, cement roads will be laid in the county."

"The salt transportation will be faster in the future."

After everyone walked onto the cement road, they were amazed again.

Especially Li Changliu and Yan Chenghai, who have entered the palace, "The road under their feet is comparable to the palace, magical, really magical."
