By the time Lu Xunhuan returned to the county magistrate's residence, it was already late at night.

The county magistrate greeted him at the gate and helped him, who was still drunk, to his residence.

"Mr. Lu, how was your time in the army today?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "What the teacher taught me is enough, enough..."

The county magistrate laughed heartily: "There is nothing in the world that the sages don't know..."

He lowered his voice and asked, "Sir, which family are your cousins ​​from in Baocheng?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "I don't know them very well, but they are rich, rich..."

He stopped and said, "Maybe I still have the power. Don't neglect it, don't neglect it..."

The county magistrate quickly said, "That's right, that's right. Judging from the demeanor of my cousin, they are not ordinary people. Don't worry, I will definitely treat them well."

Li Xunhuan returned to his residence with the help of the county magistrate.

The lights in the small courtyard where we lived were still on, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Madam, is she still awake?"

The county magistrate said, "Sir, your cousins ​​are here, so of course we have to entertain them well. Madam is chatting with them."

Lu Xunhuan walked across the courtyard and pushed open the door of the reception room.

In the hall, the county magistrate's wife, Prince Nuo, and Princess Mier all looked very excited and did not seem sleepy at all.

The county magistrate's wife saw Lu Xunhuan coming back and quickly stood up: "Master Lu, you're back?"

She stepped forward, took Lu Xunhuan from the county magistrate's hand, and supported him: "How much did you drink?"

Lu Xun Huan chuckled, "Anyway... not a small amount, Madam, it's late, you should go get some rest, cousin... cousin, go wash up and go to bed."

The lady tactfully let go of her hand and bowed, "Master Lu, Master Nuo, Sister Mi, please go to bed early. I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."

After the county magistrate and his wife left, Lu Xunhuan sat down and asked, "After I left, has Madam been chatting with you all this time?"

Princess Mier nodded: "Well, Madam is a good person and very easy to talk to."

Lu Xunhuan smiled and stood up again: "Is your room ready? Go wash up and go to bed."

Princess Mier then stood up and said, "Tomorrow morning, don't just get up and run away. Take us for a walk."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "I remember, take a rest."

The next day, after breakfast, Lu Xunhuan took the two of them to the county government office.

The county magistrate came out with a large group of officials and asked, "Mr. Lu, did you sleep well last night?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "Why did you run away so early in the morning without even waiting for us?"

The county magistrate smiled and said, "I didn't come here to gather everyone in advance to listen to your lecture."

Lu Xun Huan said, "It's not really a lecture, I just want to discuss education with you all."

He said to Prince Nuo and Princess Mier, "Cousin, please take a seat."

Then, he walked up to the podium: "Everyone..."

He had barely uttered two words when the county magistrate, standing below, led the applause: "Master Lu is imparting the teachings of the ancient sages to us. Everyone should listen carefully and applaud."

There was thunderous applause at the scene.

After the applause died down, Lu Xunhuan said, "Yangshan County is developing thrivingly in all aspects. Do you feel what we lack most at the moment?"

An official raised his hand and said, "Your Excellency, we're spending money like water. Just that road... we're short of money."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Anything else?"

The county magistrate raised his hand and said, "We are short of talents in various fields."

Lu Xunhuan applauded: "Good answer."

He said: "As for the lack of funds, we can find ways to raise them and mobilize the whole county. Money is not a problem, but the shortage of talent in all walks of life is the biggest bottleneck for our county's development."

He spoke eloquently on the stage, citing extensive examples and explaining in simple terms the importance of talent to social development.

Once everyone realizes the importance of talent, they will discuss talent policies.

Lu Xunhuan said, "First, we need to bring in outside talent. Send a notice to Baocheng. Yangshan County is recruiting talented people from all walks of life. Those who pass the assessment will be assigned to positions in various industries and given important positions."

He changed the subject: "However, please do not abuse your power for personal gain and take advantage of this opportunity to arrange for your relatives and friends to fill in the positions. We will develop a comprehensive talent introduction system to prevent such things from happening again."

The county magistrate said, "Anyone who dares to smuggle contraband will be severely punished by this county magistrate."

Lu Xunhuan added, "In addition to introducing talent, we also need to cultivate local talent. Therefore, we need to enact laws and regulations to encourage social forces to actively open schools under the leadership of the county government."

An official asked, "Mr. Lu, how many schools do you want to open?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "It would be best to open as many schools as there are industries. For example, the best tailor shop in the county could open a tailoring training class, and the best chef in the county could open a cooking training class. And so on, there could be weapon forging classes, carpentry classes, carving classes, stonemasonry classes, road and bridge construction classes, and even martial arts schools, literary schools, agricultural schools, and so on."

He continued, "Only when Yangshan County produces a constant stream of talented people can we further promote technological improvements and new inventions, and improve social productivity. When productivity rises, the economy will grow, and when the economy grows, Yangshan County will naturally become prosperous and powerful."

"Everyone, you have all contributed to the great development of Yangshan County. You will surely be highly valued by the court in the future."

"it is good……"

Below, everyone applauded enthusiastically.

After Lu Xunhuan spoke for an hour, everyone began to discuss how to promote social forces in running schools.

For a moment, the scene was lively.

Princess Mi'er's blood boiled when she heard this. In her heart, she had already praised Lu Xunhuan countless times.

He is indeed a disciple of the sage. He is so brilliant.

If such a talented person is brought back to Yingzhou City to serve Your Majesty, the entire country of Southern Liang will develop.

By the time we had finished discussing today's affairs, it was already dark.

The county magistrate then announced that everyone should go off work and come back tomorrow to draft various laws and the methods and conditions for opening various schools.

Lu Xunhuan took Prince Nuo and Princess Mier in a carriage and headed for Yangshan Restaurant.

"Let's go to the big restaurant tonight for dinner and see what's going on."

Princess Mier said excitedly: "Great, great, I've heard about it a long time ago, but I haven't seen it yet."

Prince Nuo asked, "Is the county magistrate coming?"

Lu Xunhuan turned around and said, "Anyway, I didn't invite him."

The carriage swayed slowly and arrived at the restaurant at a leisurely pace.

All other tables were full, except for Lu Xunhuan's VIP table, which had to be reserved.

But there were already two women sitting at the VIP table.

Lu Xunhuan took the two of them and sat down.

"Sister, why do you have time to come here? Don't you want to take care of your own business?"

The two women, one was the wife of the county magistrate, and the other was the old maid of Yuan Shen Yuan Qian Building.

The old woman smiled and said, "We've been collaborating with the restaurant for so long, and I've never been here. I shouldn't be here. After all, I should get to know the owner and the lady boss of Yangshan Restaurant, right?"

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "That's right."

He then asked the county magistrate's wife, "So, why are you here tonight?"

The county magistrate's wife smiled and said, "Why, you're not welcome?"

The old maid took over the conversation and said, "My sister came to see the lady today to sort out some small matters. We talked about this place, so we came together to take a look."

She turned her gaze towards Prince Nuo and Princess Mier: "By the way, I heard that a distinguished guest has arrived. Please introduce them to us."

Lu Xunhuan introduced: "My cousin."

The old woman laughed and said, "You can tell at a glance that she comes from a wealthy family."

She said to Prince Nuo, "Cousin, please come visit me when you have time. Rich people are most welcome there."

Prince Nuo asked, "Where are you?"

The old woman said: "The relationship is deep and shallow."

Prince Nuo was a little confused: "What building? A teahouse?"

The county magistrate's wife took over and said, "Sister, please don't trick Mr. Nuo into going to your brothel. Don't teach him bad things."

Prince Nuo then understood that the building with deep and shallow connections was actually a brothel.

The old woman laughed and said, "If a man is not bad, women will not love him, haha."

As they were talking, music started.

The girls came gracefully, went onto the stage, waved their long sleeves and danced gracefully.

Princess Mier clapped her hands and said, "Great, the legends are indeed true!"

At this moment, Mei Siya came quietly over with her face covered and said to Lu Xunhuan, "After this is over, don't rush to leave. I have something to discuss with you."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "What's the matter?"

Mei Siya said: "I have been performing for more than three months. I feel bored and everyone seems a little bored watching me."

Lu Xunhuan nodded: "I understand."

Mei Siya said, "Don't leave later. We must discuss this."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.
