Practice Remembering You

Zhang Yu and Mo Xue had long disappeared, but their parents still stood at the door for a long time.

"Go back and help promote the product for the kids." Mo Feng said with a smile.

"Yeah, let's go."

--------------

On the way, Mo Xue wiped the tears that she couldn't hold back from parting in her husband's arms. She looked up and saw that Zhang Yu's eyes were slightly red. "Are you crying, husband?"

"No." Zhang Yu denied immediately.

Mo Xue reached out and touched Zhang Yu's slightly red eyelids: "You've cried so much that your eyelids are red, but you haven't cried yet."

Zhang Yu shook his head: "The wind was too strong just now, and my eyes are sweating a little." Then he looked down at Mo Xue and raised his eyebrows: "Madam is crying?"

"No!" Mo Xue also denied it immediately.

"Your eyelids are red, but you haven't cried yet." Zhang Yu said with a smile.

Mo Xue raised the corner of her mouth playfully: "The wind is too strong, and my eyes are a little sweaty."

The couple smiled at each other, and the somewhat sad atmosphere caused by separation was diluted. They chatted about topics that belonged only to the couple all the way and headed towards the small county that belonged to them.

---Xiaoshi County---

The two men returned to the mansion and when they reached the door, they found that many officials were gathered on one side. Bao Ping'an and the lawyer walked out of the door. Judging from their appearance, they seemed to have just entered.

"Why are you here?" Zhang Yu asked.

When everyone saw Zhang Yu, they immediately bowed and saluted.

Bao Pingan stepped forward and said, "Greetings, Master Zhang. This is what I have to say. However, after I came here to ask the servants, I learned that Master was not at home, so I came out."

Zhang Yu didn't care and just greeted him: "Come in and talk if you have anything to say."

Everyone entered the courtyard. Zhang Yu and Mo Xue sat at the stone table, while everyone else stood.

Bao Pingan said, "Master Zhang, we have discovered a silver mine in our county!"

"Well, that's good news." Zhang Yu praised: "This means that Xiaoshi County will no longer be short of money, and all aspects can be developed."

"Yes! As long as you, Lord Zhang, give the order, we will immediately stop people from large-scale mining." Bao Ping'an was a little excited. Most of the officials here were like this. As long as they were guarding the silver mountain, they would not have to worry about anything in the future.

Zhang Yu was also very happy at this time. When he was about to make a decision, Mo Xue pulled Zhang Yu's sleeve under the table.

Feeling his wife's actions, Zhang Yu paused and subconsciously glanced at Mo Xue. Mo Xue signaled Zhang Yu with her eyes to observe everyone first.

So Zhang Yu looked carefully and found that in addition to these very excited officials, there were a few others with worried looks on their faces, one of whom was the legal advisor.

Zhang Yu thought for a moment and asked the master: "I see that you and the others' reactions are different from everyone else, but do you have anything to say?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the lawyer, which made him a little nervous. However, when he thought that the county magistrate was a person who could listen to him, he suppressed his nervousness and said, "Master Zhang, the silver mine must be mined. Xiaoshi County is in urgent need of this silver money. However, large-scale, unlimited mining is not recommended."

Zhang Yu became interested: "Why? As an immortal, I can mint coins freely without reporting. With money, I can directly go to other places to exchange for resources and build and develop this county. Why should there be restrictions?"

The lawyer said, "That's true, but if there is really no limit on the amount of money, it will indeed make the county look brand new in a short period of time, but if it lasts for a long time, it will be a devastating blow to people's lives. By then, the money in the hands of the people will become less and less valuable."

Then the master explained little by little the disadvantages of casting silver in unlimited quantities. Zhang Yu became more and more interested in the business and found that this master had an extraordinary brain, but it was a waste to be a master.

So he continued to ask: "Doesn't this mean that silver cannot be minted?"

"It's not that silver cannot be minted, but we must first provide some basic guarantees for people's livelihood, such as the basic prices of food, clothing, housing and transportation. These must be uniformly managed and absolutely controlled by the government. Otherwise, if they are completely left to the market, it may not be impossible for a stone of rice to be sold for thousands of taels of silver. At this time, the people will suffer.

As long as the basic prices of food, clothing, housing and transportation are maintained, and the rest are left to the market, and then silver is minted appropriately according to the current actual situation, the currency can be maintained at a healthy level.

As for foreign trade, we can relax the restrictions and extract more silver for use. However, this silver cannot be directly distributed by the county government and enter the market in Xiaoshi County."

"That is to say, as long as the most basic livelihood is controlled, the minted money can be distributed to the people of the county."

The master nodded first, then shook his head: "The money will eventually flow into the hands of the people, but it cannot be given directly for free, otherwise the people will be lazy and greedy. They must earn it through labor.

After the government minted silver and coins, it could use the money to recruit laborers to repair county roads and do various projects, and then distribute the money to the people in the form of wages.

In this way, not only the dilapidated roads, water conservancy and other infrastructure in Xiaoshi County were repaired, but the people also had money in their hands.

But before doing these things, we must first ensure that there are absolutely no worries about the basic resources for people's livelihood. Otherwise... For example, if the county has no food resources, then what is the point of the people having more money? Silver cannot be eaten raw."

Zhang Yu nodded, becoming more aware of the difference in his master.

"I see that you are quite accomplished in this area. Have you often dealt with matters in this area before?" Zhang Yu asked approvingly.

Hearing Zhang Yu's tone, the lawyer was extremely surprised. It seemed that he was about to encounter good things, so he quickly replied: "You are too kind, sir. I really don't deserve it. It's just because of my duties, so I usually pay more attention to such things."

"You know, I only look at your ability and character, not other things. I have been watching your character recently. Although you are selfish, you still have a bottom line on major issues. I appoint you as the financial officer of this county. From now on, you will be responsible for taxation and other things."

"what?"

Two surprised voices appeared at the same time, one was the legal advisor and the other was the current financial officer.

The lawyer subconsciously glanced at the financial officer, and then quickly said to Zhang Yu: "County Master, this... Finance is now under the charge of someone else. If I do something wrong, it will be difficult to handle, and..."

Zhang Yu stretched out his hand to stop his master from speaking, and glanced at the current financial officer. He found that he was the one who had just heard about the large-scale silver mining and was so happy that his mouth was shaking.

"Someone is in charge. Just let him step down. When we were planning to mine silver on a large scale, I saw that he was smiling happily. He didn't look like someone who could handle finances. I have made up my mind. There is no need to say anything more. The former finance officer will be demoted."

Zhang Yu had made it so clear, so naturally no one dared to offend him.

"Anything else?"

Everyone said they had none left, so Zhang Yu asked everyone else to leave and leave Bao Ping'an behind.

"I wonder what instructions you have, sir?" Bao Ping'an asked, bowing.

"The bathhouse project must be completed as soon as possible. Many wealthy people will come to experience it. We should try to ensure that it is completed within a month."

"I understand." Bao Ping'an took the order and left.

Twenty-four days later, the bathing pool was completed, and Zhang Yu personally went to the scene to inject true energy into the pool.

Now Zhang Yu's true Qi is stronger than before, but only slightly. The improvement is not very big now, and it seems that it is because it has reached a bottleneck.

Now you can keep your Qi in water for ten days without dissipating.

Three more days passed, and more wealthy people and literati were recommended.

After meeting Zhang Yu, these people went to experience the pool.

Bathing in the pool, the gentle true energy wraps around the body, making it feel extra comfortable. This level of comfort is even better than a massage.

And it's more than just comfortable, or perhaps the comfort is just an extra benefit brought by the Qi pool water. The real point is that after soaking in it, ordinary people feel that their bodies are stronger.

Mortals over forty years old will have some difficult and complicated diseases or chronic illnesses. After all, not everyone is like the Zhang family who has an immortal who often uses his true qi to take care of his family for free.

Now, these people, soaking in this pool of true qi, actually feel like they are being healed! They haven't experienced this kind of relaxing feeling for a long time.
