The first county magistrate in history

Qin Zheng also reacted and took out a pack of cigarettes from his sleeve.

"Wow, so beautiful?" Xia Mochu's eyes lit up when she saw the golden palace painted on the red background of the packaging. "Is this... my real palace?"

Qin Zheng's expression was gloomy: "It's true!"

Unfortunately, he can't go back.

Xia Mo stroked the smooth, brightly colored packaging, unable to let it go. "Didn't you say it's impossible to make paper this good?"

Qin Zheng replied, "This isn't the same grade as high-grade Xuan paper. It's just ordinary paper, coated with ink to give it such a thick, lustrous sheen. It's a shame I haven't found any tin yet. Otherwise, wrapping it in tin foil would preserve its aroma for longer. Adding a filter would be even better. Unfortunately, I haven't found the raw materials yet."

Xia Mochu didn't understand, but she had already gotten used to hearing new words coming out of Qin Zheng's mouth.

I took out a cigarette and put it under my nose and smelled it. There was a special fragrance in the spiciness.

"Try it?" Qin Zheng took the candle.

I lit it at the beginning of late summer and took a puff.

Cough, cough, cough.

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "You'll get used to it."

When I took a sip of it, Xia Mochu no longer felt fragrant, it was just spicy and made my throat uncomfortable.

Suddenly lost interest.

He was about to throw the cigarette on the ground after taking a puff.

"Don't waste it." Qin Zheng quickly grabbed it and started smoking.

Xia Mochu's pretty face turned red, and there was still my saliva on the cigarette holder.

"This thing won't sell well!" Xia Mochu thought that no one would buy something so spicy.

Qin Zheng was overjoyed. You didn’t like it, that’s great.

Seeing Qin Zheng’s expression, why did Xia Mochu feel like she had missed something?

But she did think that this thing was not easy to smoke and would definitely not sell well.

"I want to learn how to train pigeons!" Xia Mochu asked tentatively.

Qin Zheng said happily: "I can teach you."

I'm happy at the end of summer, that's good enough.

"I also want to learn how to make a sky-thunder cannon."

Qin Zheng's face changed, and he frowned and asked, "Why would a businessman like you learn this?"

Xia Mochu said, "Doing business?"

Qin Zheng shook his head: "This thing is a weapon of war. Once developed, it is enough to destroy an entire dynasty. I can't give this technology to anyone!"

Xia Mochu was furious: "Me too?"

Qin Zheng was very determined: "No!"

Xia Mochu's tears flowed again: "Qin Zheng, you only know how to bully me."

Xia Mochu didn't even realize how much of a little woman she was acting at the moment. If Li Qiuhan, Xia Mo Ning, or even An Dehai saw this, they would definitely be shocked. Is this still the mighty and domineering empress?

Qin Zheng was speechless. How did I bully you?

This thing really cannot be traded, let alone flooded.

"Other than that, you can have whatever you want!" Qin Zheng had to change his approach.

"Really?" Xia Mochu stopped crying immediately and was so happy. It turned out that my tears were so effective?

Qin Zheng nodded: "A gentleman's word is as good as gold!"

"I want the technology to make chess and card games, and I also want..." Xia Mochu observed Qin Zheng's expression, and as soon as he showed dissatisfaction, she would stop immediately.

However, Qin Zheng looked calm.

Xia Mochu grew bolder. "I also need the technology for showers, and... the technology and design plans for hot spring resorts, summer resorts, golf courses, and billiards."

Xia Mochu finished speaking in one breath and looked at Qin Zheng cautiously.

What she wanted were all the secrets of Hongtong County, and had not yet been released to the public.

Qin Zheng thought about it and realized that there is no shortage of talented people in the world. No matter how good a secret is, it will be imitated sooner or later. After all, some of these secrets are open to the outside world and are not impossible to copy and replace.

Business makes money by taking advantage of the time difference. If you are one step ahead of others, you will make money. If you make money, you will be at the forefront. Once the market becomes flooded, you will stop making money.

It would be better to give it all to Xia Mochu so that she can also take the opportunity to make some money.

After all, this is his woman.

"Okay! Wait a moment, I'll get you the design drawings and technical plans." Qin Zheng got up and left.

Xia Mochu was almost happy to death.

This man is very kind to her!

Suddenly she saw two booklets on the table, one of which was the Governance Measures for Hongtong County.

The other is the ten-year development plan for Hongtong County.

At first, Xia Mochu didn't take it seriously, but the more he looked, the more surprised he became.

There are many new words and new decisions in it...

Not only did it give her a refreshing feeling, but it also gave her a heart-stirring feeling.

In particular, there were a few sentences in the governance measures that gave her an epiphany.

"In troubled times, we must quell rebellion with blood and iron. We must fight violence with violence, and use war to feed war. There is no need to be bound by means. Only by quelling rebellion can we bring peace to the world."

"Officials should be the parents of the people, not the officials themselves! The people are the foundation of the country. If the people are resentful, the mansion will collapse, the government will cease to be a government, and the country will cease to be a country..."

Just as I was fascinated by it, Qin Zheng came back with a few yamen runners carrying four or five large wooden boxes.

"So many?" Xia Mochu was shocked.

Qin Zheng nodded: "It's all here."

Xia Mochu suddenly felt a little touched.

Said: "Can you give me these two books?"

Qin Zheng frowned slightly: "You are a businessman, what do you need it for?"

Xia Mochu used her trump card again, her eyes slightly red, and looked at Qin Zheng with resentment: "I think it's very inspiring. Will you give it to me?"

Qin Zheng was helpless: "If you want to see it, take it, but this is the secret of my Hongtong County..." Xia Mochu quickly said: "I will keep it absolutely confidential!"

Suddenly, Youyou said, "Qin Zheng, I'm leaving tomorrow!"

"Oh?" Qin Zheng was startled. "Why don't you stay a few more days? I heard your sister and uncle are here, and I'm planning to arrange a trip for you."

Xia Mochu was even more moved. She gritted her teeth and said with a blushing face, "Qin Zheng, I've made up my mind. I want to marry you!"

She decided that she couldn't let such a good man get away. Although she was the empress, there was no law prohibiting her from getting married!

With Qin Zheng's assistance, hehe, the world will surely rest easy.

Once a woman has a man, she will unconsciously want to rely on him.

This is true for even the strongest woman.

This is the mood Xia Mochu is in at the moment.

Originally she was strong and independent, but now, she just hopes that Qin Zheng can help her share her worries.

Once you want to rely on someone, you can't help yourself.

thump!

Qin Zheng fell headfirst.

"What's wrong?" Xia Mochu was confused.

Qin Zheng scrambled to his feet in a panic: "If we're going to get married, I'll marry you!"

Xia Mochu understood, this was bad, the custom was indeed that men married women.

However, she was the empress and could only marry a son-in-law who lived with her. How could she possibly marry someone of lower status?

Xia Mochu remembered the tearful attack again and burst into tears.

She was so impressed with herself, how come the tears came so quickly?

Qin Zheng felt a splitting headache when he saw this.

He didn't want to get married and start a family in the first place, but now he is asked to marry into the family. How could he accept that?

But, he should indeed be responsible for Miss Xia, right?

When Xia Mochu saw that Qin Zheng didn't coax her or compromise, she knew that this had reached his bottom line.

If you want to speed, you can't reach it.

So she pretended to be angry and stood up: "There are only girls in my family and no boys, so it is inevitable that she will come to my house. However, this matter can be discussed later. I will leave my sister to play for a few days, and you take good care of her."

I thought to myself, one day I will invite you into the palace. By then you will know that I am the empress, so why don’t you rush to marry me?

She had kept Xia Mo Ning behind mainly to keep an eye on Qin Zheng, to make sure he didn't cheat on her. She also felt that Hongtong County was safer than the Imperial Palace, and that this time back, things might be peaceful, or it might be a bloody storm.

Xia Mochu cried on the surface but smiled in her heart and went back.

Today is a great harvest.

Qin Zheng was very worried. It was over. He was stuck with this woman and couldn't get rid of her.

When Xia Mo Ning heard that she could stay in Hongtong County, she almost died of joy. She didn't want to go back to the palace to deal with the intrigue.

However, she didn't expect her sister to give her several tasks that she had to complete...

The next day, Xia Mochu led the team to leave Hongtong County.

Xia Mochu refused Qin Zheng's offer of escort.

Are you kidding? She is going to Guanghe County to provide disaster relief. If someone follows her, wouldn’t that expose her identity to Qin Zheng?

After Xia Mochu left, Qin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief.

But my sister-in-law must be taken good care of, so I specially sent Wu Xiaoyou to take her out for a trip.

Xia Mo Ning was having so much fun, she had never seen such a fun place before, and she even forgot the task her sister had given her...

Qin Zheng was discussing matters in the county government office.

Although Xia Mochu took over the national general agency of many products, he was still doing the marketing work.

If he doesn’t help his own woman, who else will he help?

Qin Zheng himself did not realize that, as a non-marriageist, he had already regarded Xia Mochu as his woman.

Just as the meeting was about to begin, a yamen runner suddenly came to report: "Sir, the Princess of Guanghe County wants to see you."

Qin Zheng frowned: "What is she doing here?"

Qin Zheng never wanted to associate with the officials of the Daqian Dynasty, except for Jin Zhongren, the prefect of Guanghe County.

This person is definitely a great official.

Jin Zhongren also took a liking to him and repeatedly wanted to marry his daughter Jin Zhiruo to him.

After being rejected, Princess Guanghe Jin Zhiruo was still unhappy and often made trouble for Qin Zheng.

Of course, it's just a minor quarrel and a little temper.

Qin Zheng is not good at interacting with women, so he is really a little afraid of this princess.

"Ahem, you guys block it for me!" Qin Zheng said, and then climbed out from the back window.

As soon as I landed, the fragrance hit my nose, and a small hand grabbed my ear.

A tall, graceful woman with a delicate appearance cursed with a cold face: "I knew you would run away!"

Inside the house, Tian Fuan and others could only smile bitterly and observe a moment of silence for the adults!

"Ouch, stop it, let go. It hurts!" Qin conquered. This woman has become smarter. She even knows how to block me?

Jin Zhiruo snorted coldly and let go of his hand. "I'm here for business. Guanghe County has suffered a bird disaster, and my father is very worried. You have so many bad ideas. What do you think we should do?"

Qin Zheng was speechless. Why does your family always come to me for everything?

The last flood also came to me...

However, this is a matter that concerns the food security of the people of the world, so we have to help.

He quickly said, "Make a scarecrow, cover it with clothes, and the birds will be scared away."

"Really?" Jin Zhiruo didn't believe it. Isn't it too simple?

Qin Zheng nodded vigorously: "It's absolutely true, but if you drive the birds away, won't other counties be in trouble? How about this, I'll lend you a Chaotianque, but it's a loan, not a gift!"

"Look how badly I scratched you!" Jin Zhiruo was speechless.

But he was in a hurry to go back and put an end to the bird plague, and had no time to deal with this thing.

He quickly said, "Hurry up and prepare, I will take it back."

Qin Zheng quickly leaned over the rear window, glaring at Tian Fuan and Zhang Mingli, two old men who were gloating over their misfortune, and ordered:

"Did you hear that? Tian Fuan, you're responsible for drawing the scarecrow blueprint. Zhang Mingli, quickly send Wu Xiaoyou to bring Chaotianque to provide disaster relief. Remember, bring Chaotianque back intact..."

boom!

Before he could finish his words, Jin Zhiruo kicked him in the butt.

"Don't you trust me?" Jin Zhiruo asked.

Tian Fuan and the others sneered. "Who in the world dares to kick your master's butt?" Only this princess could do it.

The adults are not afraid of anyone except Miss Jin, who is both literary and martial.
