I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.

There was silence in the car for a while, and Chen Liu became anxious: "Jiang Yuan, have you thought about it? What do you want?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Chen Liu with embarrassment. Taiping County now has a population of over 100,000, which is enough for now. They can't support any more.

As for money, how much is Duanmu Yuanchen willing to give?

Ten million taels? Or one hundred million?

The key point is that it is easy to get the money but difficult to spend it!

As for other things, such as promotion, Jiang Yuan had no idea at all. He had no plans to move up in rank anyway, so did the rank of his official position matter?

"Gold, silver and jewelry?" Chen Liu asked tentatively.

"I'm not interested. Besides, Taiping County doesn't lack this stuff." Jiang Yuan said lazily.

Chen Liu suddenly seemed to remember something and grabbed Jiang Yuan by the collar: "If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have forgotten. Where the hell did you hide all the things in my room?"

"What is it? I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know, please don't slander me!" Jiang Yuan said confidently.

Chen Liu angrily released his hands: "Humph, let's talk about this later. As long as you can help, you can make any conditions you want!"

Jiang Yuan thought about it carefully and finally said, "How about this? I'll keep this request for now and bring it up when I have thought it through."

"If I can't help, then forget it. Of course, I have a prerequisite. You must ensure my safety."

Chen Liu nodded solemnly: "Don't worry about this. From now on, I will follow you every day. Unless someone doesn't want the Nine Clans anymore, no one will dare to touch you!"

"That's easy. It's just the Ning family. Just wait and see how I deal with them!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.

In a blink of an eye, the carriage arrived at the Qianlong River branch line, where a large ship had been waiting for a long time.

After getting on the ship, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but marvel at it. It was indeed an official ship. The conditions were amazing. Not only were there soldiers for security, but there were also cooks and maids.

"Come on, I'll take you into the room and tell you about the current situation in the imperial capital."

A moment later, inside the room, Jiang Yuan held his face with his hands and said with gritted teeth, "This is not going to be easy for you."

"Let's not talk about the fact that many low-level officials have been bribed by the Ning family. Just because you moved against the Ning family first and didn't want Ning Fei to rebel, isn't that nonsense?"

"You've destroyed their entire family tree, and you still can't let people call you kings, princes, generals, or ministers? Are you a member of a certain clan?"

Chen Liu helplessly spread his hands and said, "That's why we thought of you. If we really want to attack the Ning family directly, I can call the people from the East Factory and it will be a matter of minutes. But the problem is that Ning Fei is leading the army at the border now, and I don't know what's wrong with the Southern Liang people. They insist on fighting us to the death."

"If there were no war, we could still find a way to deprive Ning Fei of his military power, but if we change commanders now, I'm afraid we won't even need Nanliang to fight, we'll be in chaos."

"Well, this is a troublesome matter." Jiang Yuan slowly stood up.

"Let me think about it. Anyway, we haven't reached the imperial capital yet, so there's no rush."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan got up and lay down on the bed. He was almost exhausted from the long journey on the grassland. He finally returned to Taiping County, but before he could even sit down, he was called away by that damn guy. He was really born to work.

Fortunately, it will take another half a month to get to the imperial capital by boat. Forget about dealing with the Ning family, let’s just take a rest first!

Chen Liu also stood up helplessly and walked out of the room. It must be said that Chen Liu was worthy of being the chief of the East Factory. As soon as he left, two maids came over to massage Jiang Yuan's shoulders and legs.

As the days passed, in the blink of an eye, the ship had docked at a pier in the imperial capital.

Jiang Yuan stretched and then got up from the bed, looking at Qianlongjiang behind him with an unhappy face.

Damn it! When I came here, I encountered pirates every now and then, but now that I'm on the imperial ship, I haven't seen a single one.

"What a damn bully!"

"Old Jiang, stop wasting time. Let's go into the city and discuss countermeasures together." Chen Liu urged.

Jiang Yuan curled his lips. As soon as he walked out of the dock, several carriages were already waiting there. A large number of soldiers stood on both sides. The scene was quite grand.

"I really hate you so much that I'll just drag you over when I need you." Jiang Yuan muttered and got on the carriage directly.

With Chen Liu there, there was no need for inventory when entering the city. The carriage entered the inner city of the imperial capital openly and stopped at the gate of the imperial palace.

"Old Jiang, although I have the authority to drive in, we are not yet at the point where we cannot walk. Let's go down and take a few steps." Chen Liu said with a wry smile.

Jiang Yuan naturally had no objection. This was just social etiquette.

The emperor gives you the power to drive into the palace to show his love for you. If you really drive into the palace at such a young age, it would be a bit shameless.

Even if the elderly had this power, they generally would not use it. Most of the time, they would stop the carriage at the gate of the palace and have people carry the carriage away.

"Sir, the roof of this palace is shining with gold. Could it be all made of gold?" Li Hu said slyly.

"What do you think?" Jiang Yuan was speechless. This was really like Granny Liu breaking into the Grand View Garden alone, and everything she saw was valuable.

The emperor is rich, but he is not stupid!

"How about I go get two pieces tonight?" Li Hu rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Hey hey hey! Do you think I'm dead?" Chen Liu looked at Li Hu, who was eager to try, with a dark face, and couldn't help feeling a headache.

After spending ten days or half a month together, Chen Liu had a good understanding of Li Hu.

This guy's overall strength is very poor, but he runs really fast. Just in terms of speed, it is difficult for Chen Liu to catch up with him. Maybe it's possible at the beginning, but once this guy runs a hundred meters first, no one in the world except a master of the sixth realm can catch him.

It's not just that he can run fast, but this guy also carries aphrodisiacs, chili powder, pepper and other hidden weapons with him. When you chase him, he will turn around and throw them at you from time to time. Who can stand this?

This guy is a natural troublemaker. You can never catch up with him, and if you don't chase him, he will disgust you instead.

"Hehehe, your palace is so rich, so don't be so stingy, right?" Li Hu said with a grin.

Chen Liu shook his head: "Stop talking nonsense. There is no place with money in the palace. Even if there is, it is not a place you can enter."

"As long as you help Jiang Yuan get things done, you will definitely be rewarded in the future."

"Okay, Li Hu, be serious. We are going to see His Majesty soon." Jiang Yuan said solemnly.

Led by Chen Liu, the group came directly to the Imperial Garden.

"Your Majesty is inside." Chen Liu said, waving his hand to let the eunuch leading the way leave.

Jiang Yuan took a deep breath. He didn't know what Duanmu Yuanchen's attitude towards him was now, so he decided to be cautious.

"Wang Gang, Li Hu, you two stay outside."

Not long after, Chen Liu and Yu Jiangyuan saw a guy swinging on a swing in the back garden.

Jiang Yuan slapped his forehead directly. Okay, it’s that Wang Chen again, and he still looks so unreliable.
