The best county magistrate

In the end, Tan Yuguan and Ma Tong paid nearly one thousand taels of silver notes to Yi Jiangnan in the name of medical expenses.

Yang Xuanchen asked them to write a confession again. It was called to appease Yan Chenghai's anger, but in fact it was used as a way to control the two of them.

In the next three days, the bookkeepers, accountants, and supervisory censors conducted a "detailed" assessment of Qingshui County.

Yang Xuanchen, on the other hand, led Tan and Ma to wander around, looking at the sea and fields, and then went to the vegetable and fruit greenhouse in the south to open some watermelons to eat.

When we were leaving, we even presented several carriages of specialties from Qingshui County.

The three of them said goodbye with tears like brothers, which made Yan Chenghai's mouth twitch and he cursed in his heart.

"Okay, stop acting, those two idiots are gone."

"I finally figured it out, you little bastard really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."

"Now, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Yushitai have your people. Their official positions are not low. If you make good use of them, they can play a greater role in the future."

Yang Xuanchen smiled proudly when he heard this, "This is not all Brother Yan's credit. If I were alone, I wouldn't be able to do it."

"Come on, they're the same with or without me. They can't escape your grasp anyway." Yan Chenghai said with a smile.

Then he changed the topic and his tone became serious.

"Xuanchen, you have to prepare well next."

"According to convention, officials who receive excellent scores in the exams will have their work debriefed on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."

"As for what official position your Majesty will reward you after you enter the capital, I don't know yet."

"But in my opinion, there is a high probability that he will enter the Hanlin Academy or the Imperial College. With Master Liu and Master Li taking care of him, the official path will be much smoother."

Speaking of this, Yan Chenghai sighed lightly and patted Yang Xuanchen on the shoulder, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Brother, I have a message for you."

"Endure the calm for a while, take a step back to open up the sea and the sky, the righteous path will never be destroyed, and the righteousness will last forever!"

Yang Xuanchen's eyes flashed, and he bowed his head to Yan Chenghai, "Remember Brother Yan's teachings and never forget them."

Looking at his young face and determined eyes, Yan Chenghai patted Yang Xuanchen on the shoulder again.

"I'm back to Linjiang City. Maybe I'll meet you again in Shangjing City. Take care!"

"treasure!"

After the exam was over, everyone's lives returned to their previous state.

On this day, Yang Xuanchen and Zhao Xue each received a letter from the palace.

Different from Zhao Xue's sad face, Yang Xuanchen seemed to be in an extremely happy mood after reading the letter.

"Master, what did you say in your letter? How can you be so happy?" Zhao Xue asked with a bitter face.

"See for yourself..." As soon as he said a few words, the letter in his hand was snatched away by her.

Zhao Xue pouted as she read, "My mother and concubine are so partial, huh!"

"This is not Concubine Shu's favoritism. This is her encouragement to me and her affirmation to you!" Yang Xuanchen said with a smile.

"Affirmative? Where do you start with this?"

She said with a puzzled expression, obviously not understanding the meaning of the letter.

"Think about it, Zijinzhai was the name you chose, right?"

"Do you still remember what you said at that time? Purple gold represents noble wealth, and the word "zhai" means piety and elegance."

"The name of the private treasury is Zijinzhai, which definitely won the favor of His Majesty and Concubine Shu."

"As a trading house of the royal family, it is definitely different from ordinary trading houses. Only by taking a high-end route can it be more in line with the status of the royal family."

After saying this, Zhao Xue suddenly became enlightened, with a bit of joy in his eyes, "Is this why you ordered people to make those purple clouds, Lafite, fine salt and so on?"

"That's right!"

Yang Xuanchen immediately affirmed her, and then continued: "In the future, high-end products will be launched one after another in various major industries in Qingshui County."

"Just like the shower gel project you are now responsible for is one of them."

“First of all, the product must be different and the effect must be outstanding.”

"Secondly, how luxurious is it?"

"There are too many rich people in Dayan. Being able to make money from them is the greatest significance of Zijinzhai's existence."

"You mean, making money from those court ministers and nobles from aristocratic families?" Zhao Xue interrupted him and asked.

Then, Zhao Xue's eyes suddenly lit up, and a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Okay, I get it now!"

"Every time there is any natural or man-made disaster and the Ministry of Revenue cannot come up with any money, my father will ask these people to donate some money."

"But the results are not ideal every time, but privately they live a luxurious life."

"If Zijinzhai can take money out of their pockets..."

Yang Xuanchen nodded with a smile and praised Zhao Xue's quick thinking.

"However, there is one more thing you need to pay attention to!"

Zhao Xue raised her head when she heard the sound and looked at him seriously, "Master, please speak."

"After the beginning of spring, the situation between the north and the south will become increasingly tense, and Zijinzhai may not have a smooth start."

"After you return to Beijing, you must also make your Majesty and Concubine Shu mentally prepared."

Yang Xuanchen's reminder immediately made her fall into deep thinking.

There are obviously so many weird and weird products, each of which is extraordinary, so how could it get off to a bad start?

With such doubts, Zhao Xue spoke, "Master, Xiaoxue doesn't understand very well."

"It starts with timing."

After Yang Xuanchen said something, he gave an example, "After spring, the war will most likely start in full force."

"By then, clouds will be moving in all directions and people will be panicked."

"War will not only bring suffering to the people, but also cause immeasurable harm to the economy."

“In times of war and chaos, people are more interested in just having enough to eat, rather than spending money on meaningless luxuries.”

"At this time, those corrupt officials and wealthy people will never spend money openly..."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhao Xue and patted her shoulder.

"Making money and getting rich is a process, and it must be done step by step. Don't be greedy for great achievements and rush into progress."

"Your temper has calmed down a lot, but the thought of patting your head still appears from time to time."

"A qualified manager needs to look at the overall situation from a higher position and plan the future path."

"In the future, Zijinzhai will definitely be handed over to you. You must think about how to play a greater role from now on."

Hearing this, Zhao Xue nodded solemnly, "Xiaoxue will definitely work harder!"

Then she held Yang Xuanchen's arm with both hands and pressed her little face against it, "Master, you will always accompany Xiaoxue in the future, right?"

Yang Xuanchen scratched her nose and said with a smile: "Don't hire a prince-in-law who will make you happy, just turn around and forget about the master."

"Oh, how is that possible! Xiaoxue doesn't want a consort..."

She didn't continue speaking, but her pretty blushing face said everything in her heart.

In this regard, Yang Xuanchen was quite helpless. He had no intention of provoking Zhao Xue, but Luo Hua wanted to follow the flowing water.

Ever since she discovered that he was the Touya with the Stone Mark, as the two of them came into contact with each other more and more deeply, Zhao Xue looked at her with eyes that became more and more obsessed.

He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing, but at least now wasn't the time to break her heart.

Anyway, he is an official and cannot be her consort.

Perhaps for Zhao Xue, the memory of these days can become the greatest beauty in her life.
