Practice Remembering You

In Tanyue City, on the other side, in the inner courtyard of the Third Constable Team, a fat monk was practicing in the house. He was wearing the robe of a constable. His name was Tang Zhuo, and he was the captain who was at odds with Qian Cheng.

At this time, a subordinate came into the courtyard and said to the room, "Captain, something important has happened."

Tang Zhuo heard the voice, stopped practicing, and opened his eyes emitting green light: "What's the matter?"

"The case of the demon fox rebellion has been concluded. The demon fox has been killed. It was done by Qian Cheng and his gang."

Tang Zhuo frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with the news, but not too angry: "Forget it, let them take one, and be careful next time. Anything else?"

The subordinate said solemnly: "The people sent out to carry out this mission have returned, but one person is missing."

"who is it?"

"It was Gao Yao." The subordinate continued, "I asked those who came back, and they didn't see Gao Yao. When they were carrying out the mission, Gao Yao told them that he was going out alone to look for clues, and they never saw Gao Yao again."

"Check it for me!" Tang Zhuo said in a bad tone. At this moment, he felt that Gao Ruo might not have simply disappeared, but must have been murdered. However, nothing could be determined until the person was found.

"I obey your command." said the subordinate, and then he withdrew.

Tang Zhuo stood up, walked out of the house, glanced in the direction of a team, his eyes slightly narrowed, not knowing what he was thinking.

---Zhuiming City—Xiaoshi County---

A month and a half has passed, and Zhang Yu is still practicing in the house. Now, he has made great progress in all aspects of his true Qi.

Now Zhang Yu's whole body is very clear. He no longer feels pain when he completely expels the true qi. The total amount of true qi is more intuitive, and his control over the true qi is more precise.

If Zhang Yu could inject his true energy into the water and it could last for several hours without dispersing, then now, Zhang Yu can keep his true energy in the water for seven days without dispersing!

And it only consumed a little bit of true energy. Now Zhang Yu has vaguely felt the bottleneck in the realm of magic, although this feeling is still vague.

"Master Zhang!"

There was an excited shout coming from outside the yard, and the voice belonged to Bao Ping'an.

He ran in a hurry and looked as if he was crawling in.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yu asked calmly.

"Yin Cai is back. He sold his crops successfully and brought back three cartloads of grain!" Bao Ping'an said excitedly.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up and he hurried to the county gate with Mo Xue.

At this time, many people had gathered at the county gate, and they were standing in a circle watching the vehicles.

They knew that Zhang Yu would be here soon, so they didn't dare to lift the veil now.

Seeing Zhang Yu coming, Yin Cai knelt in front of him with excitement and said, "County Magistrate, I am glad to have fulfilled my mission."

"Please get up quickly." Zhang Yu helped him up, then quickly walked to the truck loaded with grain, lifted the covering, and looked at the grain of very good quality. Zhang Yu was very satisfied.

"The reward is fifty taels of silver!"

In front of everyone, the servants handed the silver to Yin Cai, and then said to him: "Now, in my capacity as the county magistrate of Xiaoshi County, I appoint you as the head of foreign trade of Xiaoshi County. From now on, all foreign trade in the county will be handed over to you."

Such sudden and heavy news stunned everyone present. Yin Cai, the person involved, felt dizzy and thought he had heard it wrong. He confirmed it with some trembling: "County Magistrate, you...did you say that you wanted me to be an official?"

"You heard it right." Zhang Yu confirmed: "From today on, you can get rid of the status of a merchant and become an official."

"I...ah! Thank you very much, County Magistrate! Thank you very much, County Magistrate. From now on, I will devote my whole life to Xiaoshi County until my death!" Yin Cai knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhang Yu.

Today's news is really a pleasant surprise. Yin Cai thought he would have nothing to do with being an official for the rest of his life.

Although Zhang Yu had said before that this aspect of trade in the county would be left to him, at that time he just thought that Zhang Yu wanted him to be a legal middleman, but he never expected that he could actually get an official position!

"Sir! No!" Bao Ping'an's voice sounded somewhat inappropriately.

"What's wrong again?" Zhang Yu said with some displeasure.

This made Bao Ping'an stiffen, but he still said, "Master Zhang, Yin Cai has never taken the government examination and has no experience in being an official. If you rashly let him be an official, I'm afraid the effect will not be good."

Zhang Yu stared at Bao Ping'an and asked, "What do you rely on for the exam?"

"Some literary clichés." Baoan said with cold sweat.

"What's the point of taking the test or not taking the test for these useless things?" Zhang Yu snorted coldly, "Can those things you mentioned be used when you are an official? Can they be used on the people?

"When I hire people, I only look at their ability and character. For people with both ability and character, what does it matter if they can't read? For people without ability and character, what does it matter even if they can recite those clichés you said by heart?"

Zhang Yu's words settled the matter, and no one dared to say anything more.

As for why Zhang Yu appointed Yin Cai as an official, it was certainly not a sudden decision made on a whim, but there was a reason.

This was to convey to the entire county the message that Zhang Yu was a county magistrate who put ability first.

In this way, truly capable people will be very excited and will take the initiative to recommend themselves to build and develop Xiaoshi County.

The lawyer standing by understood what Zhang Yu meant, and his mind suddenly came to life.

You must know that although the legal advisor works in the government, he is not an official and absolutely cannot become an official.

The master's family has been doing this for several generations, and he himself had actually accepted his fate a long time ago. However, the information revealed by Zhang Yu today told him that if he showed enough ability, he could become an official!

This piece of news was so heavy that it was conveyed in less than half a day. That afternoon, three knowledgeable people came to Zhang Yu to give him advice.

All three of them proposed modifications and remedies to the current policy loopholes in the county, and also put forward their own insights on governance and dredging, and also put forward their own plans for future county construction.

Zhang Yu was very happy and accepted them as officials.

When the news spread, more people came to Zhang Yu. However, Zhang Yu certainly would not accept just anyone. He would have to accept only those who had real talent and skills.

Zhang Yu rejected most of the people who came as soon as he heard their offers.

At noon that day, Mo Xue saw Zhang Yu finish his training and pounced on Zhang Yu's back.

"Oh!" Zhang Yu turned his hand lovingly and touched Mo Xue's chin which was resting on his shoulder: "What's wrong, Madam?"

"Hey, my husband, you have been worried about how to develop Xiaoshi County quickly. I have a suggestion. Do you want to listen to it?"

Zhang Yu grabbed Mo Xue from behind and held her in his arms, saying, "Of course I have to listen to Madam's advice."

Mo Xue exclaimed, and after she calmed down, she angrily punched Zhang Yu's chest a few times, and then said: "Develop Xiaoshi County into a famous scenic spot."

"A scenic spot?" Zhang Yu was a little confused. "But there are no towering mountains and strange rocks, nor clear water that moves with the wind. How can we develop a scenic spot?"

"Why can't it be developed?" Mo Xue stretched out a finger and shook it, saying, "A scenic spot is a scenic spot. The key is the name. As long as the name is spread out and more people come, it will naturally become a scenic spot."

Zhang Yu nodded: "That's the truth, but what should we do?"

"As long as you are willing to do something that is not too troublesome for you, you can do it."

"What is it?"

"There is a quiet pond and waterfall in Xiaoshi County. We can develop that place."

"Develop that?" Zhang Yu was still a little confused: "Although the name of that place is quite impressive, it is actually just a small pool of water with a small waterfall next to it. How can we develop it?"

"That's easy, my husband. You have to use your Qi in your daily training anyway, so why not inject all of it into the water? With Qi in the water, we can announce that the water here has the effect of curing injuries and strengthening the body. Then it will naturally become a famous place!"
