Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

Two days later, the governor of the prefecture finished his inspection and left.

Lu Xunhuan did not follow the governor of the prefecture to Baocheng. He stayed in Yangshan County for the time being.

When he infiltrated the Southern Liang Kingdom, his original plan was indeed to move up step by step, to the provincial capital, and even to the capital, in order to understand the Southern Liang society from top to bottom.

But if you just go when someone invites you, wouldn’t that be very embarrassing and make you look like you have no value?

He deliberately acted reserved. Although it delayed his trip to the provincial capital, it also had many benefits.

As soon as the governor left, the county magistrate came to invite him.

Accompanied by the county magistrate, Lu Xunhuan swaggered down the street, chatting as he walked, on his way to the county government office.

He was already a well-known figure in Yangshan County. When the county magistrate came in person to invite him and was seen by the public, his status became even higher.

In the eyes of others, he has become a hot figure, or in other words, he has become a prominent figure in charge of Yangshan County.

The county magistrate wanted to give him this face because Lu Xunhuan might go to the provincial capital at any time.

A person who is admired by the governor of a provincial capital will surely be given important positions when he goes to the provincial capital in the future. As the county magistrate, he must of course take advantage of Lu Xunhuan's still being in the county to curry favor with him.

On the one hand, he wanted to curry favor with Lu Xunhuan, and on the other hand, he really wanted to ask Lu Xunhuan more questions, so as to do his best to achieve better political achievements in Yangshan County, so that he could have the possibility of being promoted again.

Lu Xunhuan chatted and laughed with the county magistrate all the way to the yamen, and got to know many officials in the county yamen.

Those officials were all shrewd people. Naturally, they all wanted to curry favor with people admired by the governor of the prefecture. After getting to know Lu Xunhuan, they all vied with each other to flatter him, both openly and covertly.

In this way, the public relations that Lu Xunhuan was originally going to do became so simple because of the sudden arrival of the governor of the state.

In the county government office, many officials sat around Lu Xunhuan like stars surrounding the moon, wanting to listen to his insights on developing the economy of Yangshan County.

Lu Xunhuan drank the best tea and talked freely.

"Since ancient times, there has been an irrefutable truth: a prosperous people makes a strong country."

"The concept of a country is too broad. Let's not talk about a country, let's talk about Yangshan County. By the same token, a prosperous people means a strong Yangshan."

"Only by making the people of Yangshan County generally prosperous and having a richer material life can we stimulate consumption in all aspects. Only when consumption in all aspects is stimulated can the county government collect more taxes."

"In this way, the people will be rich, and the government treasury will be full."

"After the government's treasury is full, how should the money be spent? Take it from the people, use it for the people, and invest in infrastructure."

"We should use the money to build roads and bridges. As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must build roads first. We should strive to have a highway connecting every village. This will make it easier for villagers to come to the county town and transport their crops, vegetables, and fruits to the county town. This will fully stimulate the enthusiasm of the people to plant crops and fruit trees."

"In the future, Yangshan County will have more food than we can eat, as well as more vegetables and fruits. If the war breaks out again and the front lines are in need, we will take the initiative to donate a large amount of food."

"Everyone, His Majesty knows, are you happy?"

Everyone was delighted to hear this and answered in unison: "Happy."

Lu Xun Huan added, "So, if you have money, everything is easy. If you don't have money, you're a poor county, the people are suffering, the county government is also short of money, and nothing can be done. Your great ideals and grand ambitions will remain unrealized."

"From now on, the county government will formulate a series of policies to promote the vigorous development of all industries in the county."

Everyone understands the principle, but everyone is at a loss as to how to make every place in the county prosperous and what kind of policies to formulate.

An official asked, "Mr. Lu, how exactly should we do this? Can you give me an example?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Productivity is the foundation of social development. Our county government should introduce various policies to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the people and promote the development of productivity."

"Technology is the primary driving force for development. Our county government should develop various incentives to encourage talented individuals to invent and create. For example, I find the current method of weaving cloth a bit outdated. It's too laborious and inefficient to crank it by hand. Can we encourage everyone to invent better looms that can produce finer fabrics? Could we increase the rate of weaving from one piece of cloth a day to hundreds or even thousands of pieces a day?"

After some discussion, everyone felt that it made sense, although they didn't know how to increase the production to one thousand pieces of cloth a day.

Lu Xunhuan continued, "I'm just using weaving as an example. Technological progress affects all aspects of life. Take iron smelting, for example. Can we get those smelting masters to research alloys and create iron with even greater strength and toughness? In short, we need to introduce incentives to encourage the development of handicrafts."

"Everyone, as long as there are policies to encourage it, I believe that in the near future, Yangshan County will become the number one county in Nanliang State."

"By then, you will all be accomplished officials with rich experience. To develop the national economy, His Majesty will undoubtedly make use of every one of you. The prefectures and even the capital will be waiting for you to show your talents."

"it is good……"

Everyone was delighted and applauded.

The county magistrate said with emotion, "Oh, Master Lu is truly a master. I almost let him go with the governor. Fortunately, Master Lu stayed. What a stroke of luck, what a stroke of luck."

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "To be honest, although I, Lu Suifeng, am from Lujia Village, I left home when I was young and studied under the sage Liang Jizi. Now that I have completed my studies, I would like to contribute to our Yangshan County."

The scene immediately became lively.

"Oh, it turns out that Master Lu is a disciple of the sage Liang Jizi."

"Amazing, amazing..."

"No wonder Master Lu's moves are so extraordinary..."

Liang Jizi, a sage of the Southern Liang Dynasty, would have been over a hundred years old if he were still alive. He has not appeared for several decades.

People don’t know where he is, whether he is dead or alive, but there are many speculations about him.

Lu Xunhuan guessed that Liang Jizi was probably no longer alive. In this world, medical skills were not very advanced, and people who could live to be a hundred years old were rare.

Therefore, he boldly pretended to be Liang Jizi's disciple in order to improve his status, since no one could verify it anyway.

After everyone present had discussed this, their admiration for him was as endless as a torrent of water.

Everyone was respectful, like elementary school students in front of a great sage.

Lu Xunhuan spoke eloquently and talked a lot until dusk. He was really tired, and the discussion for the day finally ended.

A group of officials surrounded him and went to Yangshan Restaurant to show their support.

Lu Xunhuan was very happy and took the same carriage with the county magistrate to the restaurant.

But when he arrived at the hotel, all the tables except his VIP table were full.

Lu Xunhuan asked the county magistrate to select six people to sit with him at the VIP table. The other officials with lower ranks could only wait for the arrangements for the next table.

When the owner of the big restaurant saw that Lu Xunhuan brought a large group of county officials to dinner today, his admiration for him was beyond words.

After warmly inviting everyone to take their seats, he turned around and whispered to the proprietress, "Brother Lu is a very important person. Do any of your relatives have unmarried daughters?"

The lady boss said, "I heard that he doesn't even like Xiaolian from the tailor shop. I'm afraid he wouldn't like the girls of my relatives either."

The boss scratched his head and said, "Get busy first, get busy first, and think about it later."
