The first county magistrate in history

Before Xia Mochu returned to the imperial capital, Hongtong County's True Love beer had become popular in Hongtong County and the surrounding states and counties.

The slogan "Love is forever, a cup of tea will last forever..." has quietly become popular.

At the weddings of newlyweds, real beer becomes a mandatory requirement.

For a time, the supply of True Love Beer was in short supply.

Beer orders in Hongtong County are like goose feathers, and the brewery is working overtime to produce.

In the county government meeting room.

Tian Fuan and Zhang Mingli drank True Love beer, looking extremely relaxed.

Qin Zheng held a Huazi in his mouth and looked at the two old men with disdain: "Isn't it horse urine? Why does it suddenly taste so good?"

"Hehehe, nonsense, anything produced by adults must be a masterpiece!" Tian Fuan said with a wry smile.

Zhang Mingli looked puzzled. "Sir, this is really strange. This beer is hard to swallow at first, but as I drink it, it becomes as sweet as honey and I can't stop."

Tian Fuan put down his wine bowl, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it with a broken star, and started to smoke: "This cigarette is also, it is choking at first, but as you smoke it, you will enjoy it!"

Qin Zheng smiled speechlessly and said, "Two old fools."

Tian Fuan chuckled, looked at Bengxingzi, and said, "Sir, why don't you promote this flint? People are still drilling wood to make fire."

Broken Stars are made by rubbing two copper plates together with a thick layer of mineral flint powder. When rubbed together, sparks will fly off and ignite fire.

Qin Zheng said helplessly: "Hongtong County has too few resources, and flint mines are scarce. Even if we promote it, it will only be temporary and will not form a long-term industrial chain."

Zhang Mingli nodded: "Our Hongtong County's territory is still too small."

After saying that, he glanced at Tian Fuan.

Tian Fuan understood and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Sir, Xuanzhou Prefect Cai Bulun has suffered a great loss this time. Not only did we steal his horses, armor, and weapons, but we also earned the reputation of being a useless prefect. He must be extremely angry and won't let this go."

Qin Zheng narrowed his eyes and concealed it from the two of them: "How about this, you two will be responsible for taking down Xuanzhou!"

With a click, the cigarettes in both of their mouths fell to the ground at the same time.

The two old men looked at Qin Zheng in surprise and said in unison: "Really?"

"Bullshit? Are you sick? How poor is Xuanzhou? How many people are there? More than five million. You took over Xuanzhou City, but you don't care about these people? Haven't you had enough of the good life? Besides, this is a rebellion, do you understand? Idiot, old man..." Qin Zheng cursed.

Tian Fuan and Zhang Mingli were sweating profusely. Yes, the adults are right!

"Hehehe, sir, don't be angry, we were just testing you on purpose!" Tian Fuan said shamelessly.

Zhang Mingli immediately agreed: "Right, right, right. We will pour cold water on you when your pride and ambitions swell. We are doing this for your own good."

Qin Zheng looked at the two shameless old guys speechlessly, feeling helpless.

These two old guys may appear to be polite on the surface, but they are actually full of evil intentions.

When Qin Zheng took office, the two old men left by his predecessor wanted to control him. In the end, he beat them violently and made them cry for their parents, and they surrendered from then on.

She was not sincere in her surrender at first, but now, she has "given herself to you"!

Qin Zheng stopped talking nonsense and said seriously: "Next, we will launch the cigarettes and call them Hongtong brand cigarettes."

Tian Fuan also became serious: "What about marketing methods?"

Qin Zheng had already thought of it: "Attach a poem to each batch of cigarette boxes. Remember, one poem per batch, not one poem per box."

Although he was a time traveler, his education level was not high; he was just a laborer. He was exposed to many kinds of work, which is why he invented so many things in this world.

The reason why he was able to invent the cannon was not because he was a military strategist, but because he was a military fan.

He is also a history fan and can recite the Twenty-Four Histories, Zizhi Tongjian, and modern history by heart.

But he didn't know much about Tang poetry and Song lyrics.

Therefore, he could only use the little ink he had to the greatest effect.

When talking about poetry, Tian Fuan and Zhang Mingli both showed admiration.

Tian Fuan suddenly sighed, "This reminds me of the time when you first took office. Those self-righteous scholars in Hongtong County gave you a hard time and treated you with utter contempt."

Zhang Mingli nodded and sighed, "In the end, the adults only wrote a poem and destroyed their prestige. That poem is still hanging in Hongtong County Academy, and no one has surpassed it to this day."

Qin Zheng couldn't help laughing when he thought back to those days.

Qin Zheng was also very nervous when faced with those aggressive and pedantic scholars, because poetry and prose were his weak points. However, since ancient times, scholars have been able to cause chaos in the world. If he couldn't control these scholars, he would have no chance of becoming a county magistrate.

So, I racked my brains to find an ancient poem that was suitable for the situation at that time.

But I can only recall a short passage: My hair is standing on end with rage, I lean on the railing, the rain has stopped. I raise my eyes, let out a long cry to the heavens, my heart aching with fervor. Thirty years of fame and fortune are now dust, eight thousand miles of journey are now clouds and moon. Don't wait, your youth will be wasted, leaving you with empty sorrow!

He had no idea of the ending, that those arrogant scholars would leave crying with their faces covered...

Since then, the scholars and writers of Hongtong County have respected him as their teacher...

"Woooooooo..."

Suddenly, a woman's crying was heard in the yard.

Xia Mo Ning ran in crying with her face covered.

Qin Zheng was shocked.

Qin Zheng almost forgot about this girl because she hadn't been back to the county government office for a long time. Hongtong County was also safe, so he didn't care.

"What's wrong?" Qin Zheng asked. At this moment, he only knew Xia Mo Ning as Xia Ning, and didn't know that she was the empress's biological sister.

"Miss Xia, has someone bullied you? I, the chief clerk, will take care of it for you." Tian Fuan also asked. He knew that this person was the master's sister-in-law.
