Quanyang County.

A line of horse-drawn carriages were traveling on the main street of Quanyang County when they suddenly stopped.

The man in the car asked, "What happened?"

The driver looked at the carriage in front of him and whispered to the curtain: "Master, the carriage in front is the county magistrate's carriage, shall we give way?"

After he finished speaking, someone in the car patted him on the back of his head through the car curtain, "Do you really think you can do anything? We are not officials, so you decide whether to give way or not!"

The driver shuddered all over, wondering what happened to him today that he could ask such a stupid question!

Fortunately, the young master was in a good mood today and didn't bother with him, otherwise he would not be able to be a coachman.

He quickly drove the carriage into the alley, and the convoy behind also came in.

When the driver of the carriage that Balezhan was riding saw the opposing convoy give way, he slowly started the carriage and continued moving forward.

Ba Lezhan, who was in the car, lifted the curtain and frowned as he looked at the convoy.

He seemed to be talking to himself, or he seemed to be asking the driver: "Fang family's convoy?"

The driver looked at the team and frowned as he replied, "My Lord, it is the Fang family's team. Their business name is hung on the carriages."

Bale Zhan sighed when he heard this, "Did you see who was sitting in the carriage?"

The driver frowned slightly, and after a moment he replied, "I didn't see it, but the first carriage should belong to Fang Wenxiu, the eldest son of the Fang family."

"Oh?" Balezhan asked doubtfully.

The driver replied, "The carriage of the eldest son of the Fang family is slightly different from that of the old master of the Fang family. Although the two carriages are made of the same wood, the paint color of the eldest son of the Fang family is darker and the pattern is simpler."

Upon hearing this, Bale Zhan leaned out his head and looked at the driver. "What's your name?"

The driver's eyes lit up slightly, but he still calmed down and answered, "My humble name is Ge Zhu."

Balezhan nodded and retreated back into the carriage.

Ge Zhu was excited and held the reins tighter.

He had worked as a coachman in Quanyang County Government for several years. If the original coachman had not been unwell today, he would not have had the opportunity to drive for the adults.

He usually liked to observe the carriages in the county, but he didn't expect that it would come in handy today and he would show his face in front of the adults.

Ge Zhu was getting excited when he heard Ba Lezhan in the carriage ask, "Which direction is the Fang family's convoy going?"

Ge Zhu pondered for a moment, looked into the distance and replied, "Answer them. Judging from their appearance, they should be heading out of the city. That's the direction of Tong'an County."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sneer in the car.

"The eldest son of the Fang family has a keen nose. He went there just by smelling the scent."

The driver did not respond. He was just a small driver and dared not criticize others. What's more, he knew that the adults' words were not meant for him.

As expected, after a while, Ba Lezhan murmured to himself again, "It's hard to believe that the two boys of the Fang family are actually born to the same mother. Never mind. I originally thought that I shouldn't go to Tongan County too often, lest I be disliked by County Magistrate Shen. But now that the boys of the Fang family have gone, there is no reason for me not to go. Let's go back to the county office first."

Balezhan already knew that the prefect had gone to Tongan County and had praised Shen Zheng highly. Judging from his attitude, he would surely help Shen Zheng more in the future.

He was envious in his heart, but he had seen what kind of person Shen Zheng was before, so he could only envy her but not be jealous.

Maybe in the future, Quanyang County will have to rely on Tongan County.

However, he originally thought that the prefect went to Tongan County for the rice in Tongan County, but who knew that news came from Tongan County the day before that they had actually built a textile machine that could weave cotton cloth!

Cotton! It was cotton!

Balezhan was also an official, so he knew the pros and cons of the matter.

Now, with this high-yield rice and cotton cloth, Lord Shen has already reached a height that is beyond his reach!

Only then did he understand why the prefect thought so highly of Shen Zheng and why Shen Zheng had never given him any face before.

It turns out that he has more than one good thing in his hands, so he is not afraid of him, the magistrate of Quanyang County.

On the day that Balezhan received the news, he committed suicide by covering his head with a quilt in bed.

I remember that day he went to Tongan County with a high attitude to challenge others. In order to make himself look powerful, he didn't even tie his belt properly!

After receiving the news, he wished he could die. He, Ba Lezhan, had been a clown from the beginning to the end...

So he has not taken any action in the past two days. At first, he wanted to go to Tongan County and show his face in front of Shen Zheng, but this time he dared to swear to heaven that he currently has no idea about the textile machines in Tongan County!

Are you kidding? The person behind him is the prefect, how dare he do that!

But whenever he thought about going to Tongan County, his mind was filled with his embarrassing behavior that day, so he had been struggling over the past two days over whether to go or not.

If he went, Shen Zheng would think that he was coming for the textile machine again, which would make her unhappy. Wouldn't that be counterproductive?

But today the kid from the Fang family has taken action, and as the county magistrate, he can’t just sit there and wait for death!

So he thought about it and decided to go!

Even if such a good thing does not happen to him, it is good for him to sound out County Magistrate Shen with the boy from the Fang family and know the future direction of the situation in Tongan County.

The driver was shocked when he heard the words "so as to avoid being disliked by Magistrate Shen".

He had also heard a lot about what the female magistrate of Tongan County had done in the past few months in Quanyang County. She could be called a god.

Before, he sighed and wondered why he was not from Tongan County. Looking at the current situation of Tongan County, if he could be born in Tongan County, he would never have to worry about food in the future.

The rice yield is 1,000 kilograms per mu!

I heard that his family members didn’t get any good results after going there!

They didn't understand what happened that day, they only knew that the adults left in high spirits and returned in disappointment.

The wealth level of their Quanyang County is ranked among the best in the entire Liuyang Prefecture, but they did not expect that County Magistrate Shen would not give them any face at all.

Ge Zhu thought to himself that it seemed that Lord Shen was a man of real ability, otherwise his master would not have said these words today, and would not have rushed to Tongan County to show off in front of Lord Shen.

And now, he can follow his master to take a look at that divine man!

Ge Zhu was so excited that he unconsciously drove the carriage faster.

After being shaken around in the carriage, Ba Lezhan had a higher opinion of Ge Zhu. Not bad, not bad. He was concerned about what I was concerned about. He was a man with a quick mind.

......

After Balezhan returned to the Quanyang County Government, he immediately asked someone to draw up a list of businesses in the county.

Judging from the look on the Fang family kid's face just now, there must be a lot of good stuff piled on the carriage.

Let him think about it, under what name will the boy give it to County Magistrate Shen this time?

Balezhan curled his lips when he thought of this. What other excuse could he use? Of course he was here to visit his younger brother at home. He was afraid that his younger brother would be naughty and affect everyone in the county government office, so he came to give gifts and apologize. Then he "incidentally" presented a big gift to County Magistrate Shen and told him about the opportunities of his own business in order to seek cooperation.

Ba Lezhan sneered. How could he go to a guest's house empty-handed? He had to bring a gift too!
