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

Hatu's upper and lower lips kept trembling. Fifty years, just fifty years. In other words, this is how his life will be.

Jiang Yuan punched Hatu's shoulder solemnly: "Don't be discouraged, young man. You are only in your twenties, which is the right age for hard work. You can pay off all your debts by the time you are in your seventies. Keep working hard!"

"Besides, our county is just starting out and is experiencing rapid development. As long as you work hard, you can get a promotion and a raise in no time."

After being brainwashed by Jiang Yuan, Hatu accepted his fate and immediately followed Li Hu to look at houses with a sad face.

"Chen Qing, recruit more soldiers during this period and let Hatu train them in archery." Jiang Yuan said slowly.

"Yes!" Chen Qing agreed immediately. This would directly reduce the burden on him, so why not do it?

"Everyone, get busy. If you need money, go to the government office to get it. Don't save money for me. We don't need it now."

After sending everyone away, Jiang Yuan was in a very good mood.

Now the infantry is trained by Chen Qing, the cavalry is trained by Zhao Kai and Kong Xuan, and there are also archers. It is only a matter of time before we build a powerful army.

Jiang Yuan himself can also free up his hands to do other things.

The truth grenades need to be mass-produced, the iron smelting industry needs to be developed, and Taiping County needs to be renovated and overhauled. Jiang Yuan plans to do all of this planning himself.

"With so many people, we need to open a casino. We can't just sell tea and wine, we have to do something else that can generate high profits. Glass is a good choice."

"Porcelain is fine, and we'll open a restaurant. Yeah, we can also have a brothel!"

After happily imagining the future, Jiang Yuan leisurely returned to the county government office. People kept greeting him along the way.

Since Jiang Yuan took over as county magistrate again, he not only exempted all taxes, but also issued a series of policies.

Those who had no houses were helped to build houses, those who had no land were allocated land, those who lacked food were given food by the county government, and even winter clothes were provided to them.

These guys are like my reborn parents.

"Master, my youngest daughter just turned eighteen this year. Would you consider marrying her? She can be a concubine." Wang Laoliu smiled attentively.

"Sir, come in and have a drink before you leave!"

"master……"

Jiang Yuan pretended not to hear the rest of the words, but he definitely heard the first sentence. Jiang Yuan touched his face, which was so handsome that it seemed like it was against his will, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

"Yeah, that doesn't make sense. At my age, I should have been married a long time ago."

"Although I can't compare to you, my dear readers, I am still incredibly handsome."

"Why don't I even have a fiancée right now? This doesn't make sense."

"Is it possible..."

In an instant, Jiang Yuan shuddered all over.

When I traveled through time, I was accompanied by a man named Wang Gang. After all, he was a county magistrate. It would have been fine if he didn't have a wife, but how could he not even have a maid?

I couldn't have been a person who was partial to both Longyang and Duanxiu before.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but slap Wangcai on the side of the road.

If that's true, this is too frustrating.

"Impossible, I have to go ask Wang Gang right away."

Rushing back to the county government office in a hurry, Wang Gang was sitting at the gate of the government office, munching on a sesame bun.

"Master, you're back. Would you like to try some? Tiezhu just gave you some pancakes from his new shop."

Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Gang with a frown on his face. It was given to me, why are you eating it?

It’s okay if you eat one or two, but what if you eat them all?

"Wait, let's not worry about this for now. Wang Gang, I want to ask you something." Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

Wang Gang took a sip of water and grinned, "Master, just ask."

"Yeah, that's it..." Jiang Yuan was brewing his words in his mind.

"Wang Gang, how old is your master this year?"

Wang Gang scratched his head and said, "Master, you even forgot this. It seems that there is something wrong with your brain. You need to find a doctor to treat it."

"What a stupid doctor! Answer quickly." Jiang Yuan urged.

"Master, you will be 25 after the New Year! I am one year younger than you." Wang Gang said honestly.

Jiang Yuan looked at Wang Gang with a worried look on his face. "The old master, my father, never told me about marriage before?"

"I told you, sir, you forgot that you have a marriage." Wang Gang said immediately.

Wow! I actually have a wife!

Jiang Yuan perked up and looked at Wang Gang expectantly, waiting for what would happen next.

"Back then, when the old master was appointed as the governor, he arranged a marriage for you with a young lady from an aristocratic family."

Jiang Yuan was completely dumbfounded. He was a provincial governor, a legitimate fourth-rank official.

Don’t think that a fourth-rank official is not a high-ranking official. The entire Great Duan Dynasty has a vast territory, and the area managed by a fourth-rank official is not small.

Each state has ten prefectures, and each prefecture manages one hundred counties.

Jiang Yuan himself is one of the 100 henchmen under Governor Tian Wen. Tian Wen’s official position must be quite high.

The governors of the provincial capitals above them are people with whom many people will never be able to speak a word in their entire lives.

But even with this, he is only of the third rank, or even from the third rank. My old man is definitely someone who can be on par with him.

As for Tian Wen, who is a fifth-rank official, if his cheap father were still alive, Jiang Yuan could ride on his neck and shit on him, and Tian Wen would have to smile and give a thumbs up to praise him, saying that the young master is really energetic!

Then I think about myself, an eighth-rank county magistrate, and I feel so ashamed of my father’s heroic spirit in heaven!

Jiang Yuan shook his head. This was not the point. Since he was already 25 years old and had been engaged as a child, why hadn't he gotten married yet?

As if sensing Jiang Yuan's confusion, Wang Gang took the initiative to explain, "Master, you were supposed to be married when you were eighteen, but the world was in turmoil at the time, and it took eight long years, so it was delayed until now."

"But according to what the master said, he should be married at least when he is 25 years old."

Jiang Yuan thought to himself, "Twenty-five, but I am already twenty-four this year."

This means that the young lady from the aristocratic family will show up at the latest next year.

Jiang Yuan was not excited at all. He looked at the black county magistrate's uniform on his body and nodded uncontrollably.

Well, when the marriage was arranged, my cheap father was in a high position, and the other party must have been eager to get close to me.

But now my family has fallen on hard times, and according to the attitude of the aristocratic family, breaking off the engagement is inevitable.

And he must have brought people with him and came to Taiping County in a high and mighty manner. It would be best if he could casually take out several million taels of silver notes and throw them in my face and tell me about it.

"A toad wants to eat swan flesh? Forget it!"

Then I shouted again: Don’t look down on the young and poor.

The more Jiang Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was quite good. Several million taels of silver would be enough for him to develop Taiping County into something special.

"That's right! I'll just sit and wait for these millions of taels of silver to arrive!"
