The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

Besides, Yang Jingning was willing to come to the Southland because he wanted to fulfill his grandfather's last wish. His grandfather loved him so much, and he wanted to do something for him.

Duke Dingguo could only worry about Yang Jingning's marriage, because Yang Jingning had to observe mourning for 27 months and was not allowed to marry. Even if Duke Dingguo had the guts to do so, he would not dare to violate this.

Yang Jingning can finally breathe a sigh of relief regarding his marriage.

Su An Dong was happy to see his boss Yang Jingning. He was familiar with this person and knew his working style, which was compatible with his. This was better than having a stranger come.

After the greetings, Yang Jingning got straight to the point and said, "Sir Su, the military reserve matters are still your concern, just like before. Let's work together and strive to achieve our wish as soon as possible."

Su An Dong said: "General, rest assured, I will do my best."

Su Andong told Yang Jingning about the iron mine again, and Yang Jingning was very happy. When he left Kyoto, Su Andong's news had not yet reached him, so he didn't know that the iron mine had been found.

Iron ore is very important to Yang Jingning, as he needs it to refine weapons.

The emperor had told Yang Jingning about the arrangement of the iron mine, and he knew it well. But this was an iron mine after all, so Yang Jingning did not say what to do without authorization. He thought that he would wait for the emperor's news in a few days. Yang Jingning guessed that the emperor would send someone to manage the iron mine.

Sure enough, ten days later, news came from Kyoto, along with the people in charge of managing the iron mine.

The iron mine will produce weapons according to Yang Jingning's requirements. As long as the reason and quantity Yang Jingning needs iron are reasonable, it will be produced according to his requirements.

Since ancient times, the imperial court has been very strict in its management of iron, and Su Anton had expected such an arrangement by the emperor.

After finishing his work at the iron mine, Su Anton recently wanted to hire a teacher to teach his children at home.

The reason why Su An Dong had this idea was because a suitable candidate came to Nanling Mansion. Yang Jingning said this to Su An Dong.

What Yang Jingning meant was that whether or not you can invite someone depends on your Su family’s own ability.

This person came to Nanling Prefecture with Yang Jingning. His name was Lin Xiu, and he was a bachelor of the Imperial Academy. After the death of the previous emperor, he resigned from his official position and came to Nanling Prefecture with Yang Jingning.

Lin Xiu had only one son, who refused to listen to his father and gave up military service. He was sent to guard the southern border. He was killed in a war when the King of Zhennan was causing trouble. His daughter-in-law also died of illness, leaving behind only a grandson. Therefore, Lin Xiu hated the King of Zhennan very much.

The reason why Lin Xiu came to Nanling Prefecture was that he wanted to witness the defeat of the King of Zhennan and the unification of the southern border.

Su An Dong knew that Lin Xiu was much more professional than himself in the imperial examination. It would be a great blessing for the children of the Su family to receive Lin Xiu's guidance.

Su An Dong had already visited Lin Xiu's rented house, explained his intentions, and sincerely invited him. Lin Xiu did not give a face-to-face reply, but said he would consider it.

Su An Dong could tell from his expression that Lin Xiu would seriously consider it. Su An Dong felt relieved that he would seriously consider it and would not just perfunctorily do it. Su An Dong still had confidence in his family and his children. He felt that his family was still very attractive.

Lin Xiu wanted to get to know the Su family, the character of this family, and also know how Su An Dong was as an official. If there was anything wrong, Lin Xiu would naturally refuse the Su family's invitation. He didn't want to go home to retire and cause trouble for himself.

After some investigation, Lin Xiu found that the Su family was very much to his liking. Although Lin Xiu was born in the Hanlin Academy, he had his own style in dealing with things, but he was not aloof.

After investigation, it was found that the character and reputation of the Su family were very good in Nanling Prefecture.

The Su family is very low-key in their dealings with others and never oppresses the people.

In addition to the Su family's daily behavior, their good reputation is mainly due to Su Anton's help to the military households and civilians.

Lin Xiu admired Su Andong's pragmatism and said he was a real practical man. Su Andong had been busy with official duties since he came to Nanling Prefecture. He not only handled the tasks assigned by the emperor, but also made the lives of the military households under his management better and better. From the faces of the military households, it can be seen that they are now full of hope and expectation for life.

Moreover, Su Andong not only helped the military households under his management, but also many people in Nanling Prefecture also borrowed from Su Andong. When Su Andong organized the team to sell goods outside, he also collected a lot of things from other people, which benefited other people a lot. Moreover, attracting caravans to Nanling Prefecture is beneficial to the entire Nanling Prefecture.

Therefore, Lin Xiu was very satisfied with Su Anton as an official, who did his job well.
