The handover of Xu Zezhou is almost completed.

He has settled in Huang County for many years, and his wife, children and friends are all here. After the delivery, Xu Zezhou will stay in Huang County for more than ten days until everything is packed up before leaving.

The county magistrate left office not long ago, so Huang County is currently without a county magistrate. Mu Shan previously worked in Shengjing, so with the help of the county magistrate, he was able to do a passable job.

Now that there is no county magistrate, Mu Shan is very troubled. Although he can read, he is not very good at governing a place.

So Xu Zezhou would set aside a few hours a day to help handle affairs, and Mu Qing would temporarily take over the position of county magistrate.

There was no way. There were too few talented people in Huang County, and few literate people. Not to mention the literate servants, even Mu Wu, Mu Shu and others would be captured and used as coolies.

Shen Moyan was naturally not let off either.

To the outside world, Mu Qing gave Shen Moyan the title of a teacher. To the inside, Mu Shan was not clear about Shen Moyan's background, but he tacitly acknowledged Shen Moyan's existence.

With one more person, it would be easier for him to govern Huang County, and Mu Shan was eager for that.

Mu Qing knelt on the low couch. The weather was hot. Shen Moyan used his spiritual power to fan Mu Qing while helping him with official business.

"Brother, tell me, there are so many refugees now, how can we save them?"

Mu Qing didn't dare to open the city gate to accept refugees, but she saw too many miserable people along the way.

In fact, there are few people in Huang County now, and it is exactly when people are needed.

But Mu Qing needs a suitable reason to resettle the refugees.

There are good and evil refugees, and some cannibalize others. Everyone has their own reasons. Mu Qing cannot blame them, but he also cannot empathize with them.

Mu Qing couldn't bear to watch the man-made disaster continue.

If you are successful, you will help the world, and if you are poor, you will be alone.

Shen Moyan did not answer Mu Qing's words.

Mu Qing wrote and answered his own questions:

"Perhaps we can give work-for-relief a try. I remember that the dam in Huang County was broken and couldn't hold the water. Also, the roads in Huang County were not good. If we want to get rich, we must first build roads. Brother, what do you think?"

"Junior sister is right."

Shen Moyan answered, looked at the sweat on Mu Qing's forehead and silently increased the speed of the spell.

Mu Qing wrote down whatever he thought of.

Mu Qing needs to focus on both the construction of Huang County and the accommodation of refugees.

Mu Qing governed Huang County with some selfish motives.

If nothing unexpected happens, Mu Shan will not be promoted for several years. They will stay in Huang County until the emperor remembers them after the relationship between him and the scholars is restored.

The chances of both are slim.

Mu Qing couldn't imagine when this dynasty would fall apart, perhaps it was just her guess.

What is certain is that Huang County will be where she will live for a long time to come.

Nothing can happen in Huang County and the riots of refugees must be quelled.

Mu Qing restarted the colored glaze kiln. Huang County is now under the management of Mu Shan. As the acting county magistrate, Mu Qing directly replanned Huang County.

Huang County has few people and occupies little land, so Mu Qing easily allowed Shen Moyan to open up a piece of land as a factory for making colored glaze.

The craftsman that Mu Qing had found before had no intention of following Mu Qing to Huang County. It was Mu Qing who spent a lot of money to tie the craftsman to the Mu family, and this craftsman became a craftsman of the Mu family.

With the craftsmen and technology in hand, and waiting for the kiln to be built, Liulichang could be officially settled in Huangxian.

There is no need to worry about minerals. Even if there are no minerals in Huangxian, there are limestone mines and quartz mines around Huangxian.

The factory not only makes money but also provides jobs, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

The current division of labor is that Mu Shan handles cases, while Mu Qing leads people in construction.

Mu Shan was full of confidence in his youngest son. Even Xu Zezhou found that the new county magistrate seemed to have a natural trust in his son. He let Mu Qing do everything and even showed off to him from time to time.

Xu Zezhou was always annoyed by Mu Shan's showing off, so he went to Mu Qing to help.

There was very little silver in Huang County’s treasury, so Mu Qing paid part of it first.

Because Huang County was hit by natural disasters, the people had little food left after paying taxes. Compared with the refugees outside, their situation was actually not much better.

When Mu Qing first arrived, he knew that if no remedial measures were taken, these people would probably cause chaos like the refugees outside.

Food is the first problem that needs to be solved at present.

Mu Qing wrote and drew on the rough yellow paper.

It doesn’t matter that Huang County has no grain, because the landlords and merchants have it.

Mu Qing sneered. These landlords and businessmen knew that there was a famine in Huang County but still raised prices. This was what Mu Qing could not tolerate the most.

Since they are like this, it would be fine if they can cooperate later on, but if they don’t, don’t blame yourself for being cruel.

Several big landowners and businessmen gathered in the room.

"Tell me, what is the purpose of this new county magistrate gathering us together?"

The landlord Zhang Han had just rushed over from home. He turned to ask another landlord, Hu Yin, about the situation.

When Hu Yin thought of the recent natural disasters and looked at the landlords who had raised grain prices without authorization, he looked a little disdainful. He pursed his lips and said:

"A new official takes office with three things to do. It's not clear who has done the immoral things."

"Haha, Hu Yin, be careful with your words."

A fat middle-aged man with triangular eyes looked at Hu Yin with hostility and snorted coldly.

There was a lot of speculation in the room at first, but it stopped after the two people's quarrel and the sight of the child following the old county magistrate.

Xu Zezhou walked in before Mu Qing.

Mu Qing took a quick look at the people present, and without further ado, he got straight to the point:

"Everyone, I am the acting county magistrate of Huang County. I am here to discuss grain prices with you."

As soon as Mu Qing opened his mouth, the rare quiet scene was filled with whispers again.

"Why is it a child speaking? Is this child speaking to us on behalf of the county magistrate?"

"Grain prices? Since when did the government start caring about this?"

"Who is this child? I don't think he is even older than my son."

"County Magistrate? How did such a young kid get the position? Did the new county magistrate send someone to play a trick on us?"

……

Everyone's words continued to enter Mu Qing's ears.

Mu Qing was not angry. She would show up sooner or later, and Mu Qing was not afraid of other people's comments.

"Guangsha has met with a disaster, the refugees have suddenly risen up, the city has fallen and people have died. Huang County is not far from Guangsha, and the refugees have already rioted more than once a few days ago. I hope everyone here will join hands and help." Mu Qing pointed out the disaster that Huang County might soon encounter in just a few words.

Translated, it means Huang County might be lost because of the refugees, and then no one here will be able to escape.

Mu Qing conveyed the implicit threat in his words to everyone.

She looked at the landlords and businessmen who had different expressions on their faces after hearing these words. Mu Qing knew that intimidation alone would not be enough to convince them.

Mu Qing has his own way to deal with these old rascals, first give them a slap in the face and then give them a date.

Mu Qing looked at the servant behind him, signaled him to come forward with a wooden box.

Xu Zezhou's eyes followed the wooden box. He had just heard Mu Qing say that this wooden box was related to whether or not they could get food out of these people's hands, so he became very curious about the box.

Xu Zezhou's heart felt as if it had been scratched by a cat, and he felt itchy and unbearable.
