The Little Lucky Girl.

The next day, runners from the county government came to Sujia Village to report. When they arrived at the entrance of Sujia Village, they beat the gong and shouted, "Congratulations, Mr. Su Zhiyuan from Yun'an County has passed the imperial examination and became the runner-up." They kept shouting until they reached the door of the Su family's house. The villagers were in an uproar!

The entire Yun'an County was in an uproar. Su Zhiyuan's achievement this time was the best in the history of Yun'an County!

The village chief, Grandpa Xiao’s family, and the elders of the clan have all come to the Su family to congratulate!

Su Qing asked the housekeeper to give the reward silver to the yamen runner. Old Man Su and Old Lady Wang sent away the yamen runner who brought the good news and the villagers who came to watch the fun! Then they returned to the yard and greeted the village chief, Grandpa Xiao's family, and the elders! "Village chief, in-laws, elders, we will treat everyone to a feast when the second son comes back!

"Well, Zhiyuan has brought honor to our Sujia Village. Our village is now a Jinshi Village!" The village chief and the elders of the Su family all had proud expressions on their faces!

In addition, when a talented person emerges in the clan, an ancestral hall should be built to report to the ancestors!

At the end of the afternoon, Old Man Su sent off the village chief, clan elders, and Grandpa Xiao's family, and the Su family finally returned to peace! But everyone's face was filled with joy!

At the end of the Chen hour on the 15th day of the fourth lunar month, Su Zhiyuan rushed to the county government office...

Su Zhiyuan was escorted back to Sujia Village by county yamen runners. He wore a black gauze hat and a bright red official robe, looking solemn and proud! On his way back, the villagers had heard the news early! They were waiting at the village entrance! When Su Zhiyuan arrived at the village entrance on his majestic horse, the villagers naturally made way for him to welcome him home in glory!

When Su Zhiyuan got off his horse and returned to the Su family, he would kneel down and thank his parents first! Then he would follow the elders to pay homage to his ancestors!

When Su Zhiyuan returned home, his family members treated him with great affection again!

The banquet began! The villagers came forward to congratulate Su Zhiyuan!

Su Zhiyuan was filled with emotion. He said that his achievements were inseparable from the support and encouragement of his family and the help and care of the villagers!

In this way, the Su family was busy until very late before everyone returned to their own rooms!

The next day, the Su family got up early and got busy! Some went to the county town to shop, some went to the fields to work! The villagers also started to get busy! The potatoes and sweet potatoes were planted, but the rice seedlings had not yet been planted in the ground! So the villagers were planting their own rice seedlings in the fields!

The villagers rolled up their sleeves, bent their waists, their trouser legs were covered in mud, and they were quickly planting seedlings in their hands. Although they were tired, their faces were filled with determined smiles, as if they were looking forward to the arrival of a good harvest.

Gradually, patches of rice seedlings spread across the fields, their green bodies appearing particularly fresh and vibrant under the reflection of the water.

After working hard for more than ten days, the seedlings were finally planted!

It was already the end of April! It was also the time for Su Zhiyuan to take office! Su Zhiyuan and the Xiao couple moved directly from the Princess's Mansion to the yamen that morning. When they arrived at the yamen, they first handed over the meeting to the incoming county magistrate, Shen Wenchao. "Cousin Su, goodbye. I'll be returning to the capital to report on my work!"

"Okay, cousin! I wish you a safe journey! May your career be a success!"

"Thank you, cousin Su!" Shen Wenchao said goodbye to Su Zhiyuan and took his family on a carriage to leave Yun'an County...

Su Qing took a blueprint today and went to find the village chief. "Grandpa Village Chief, are you home?"

"Yes, yes, what does Qingbao want to see Grandpa for?"

"Grandpa Village Head, I want to build a village school! I'll donate the money! You find someone to run it!"

"Great! This is great!"

Su Qing took out a five-hundred-liang silver note and handed it to the village chief. "Grandpa Village Chief, this is the blueprint for the village school. Build it like this!"

"Okay, okay, on behalf of the villagers, I thank you, Qingbao!"

"It should be. Knowledge changes destiny. A strong youth means a strong country!"

"Then Grandpa Village Chief, I'm going back!"

"Okay, Qingbao, take care!"

Su Qing returned to his yard and called Ying San! "Ying San, come with me to the county government office to find your father!"

"Yes, girl!"

Ying San drove the carriage out and took Su Qing to the county town! When they arrived at the gate of the county government office, he asked the servant to pass on the message that Su Qing wanted to see him!

Su Zhiyuan heard that his daughter had arrived! He hurried out to greet her! "Dear daughter, why are you here?"

"I'm here to see Daddy!"

Su Zhiyuan carried Su Qing back to the county government office! "Dad, I have something to discuss with you!"

"Oh? What's the matter, my dear girl?"

"Dad, you're a new official, so you're going to have to make some big moves. I want to help you achieve some achievements!"

"Oh, my dear girl! This is my business! Don't worry about it! You just need to grow up happily and safely!"

"Dad, I donated five hundred taels of silver to the village today! So that the villagers can build a village school!" After Su Qing finished speaking, he took out a hundred thousand taels of silver notes from his shoulder bag and handed it to Su Zhiyuan!

"Dad, the plum rain season is coming soon, and there will be a lot of rain, especially in the south! Please use this money to reinforce and repair all the bridges in Yun'an County, as well as the river channels! To prevent the excessive rain during the rainy season and cause flooding disasters!"

"Okay, thank you, my dear girl!"

"No need to thank Daddy! We are a family! Now the roads in Yun'an County have been repaired! Daddy can attract investment! For example: exhibition investment - that is, to hold exhibitions of some of Yun'an County's specialty agricultural products or projects to attract wealthy businessmen from other places to invest in Yun'an County, thereby boosting Yun'an County's economy!"

There is also cultural investment attraction - using Yun'an County's unique culture to attract wealthy businessmen from other places to invest;

We can also attract investment from tourism – we can build some unique tourist attractions in Yun’an County to attract wealthy businessmen from outside the area to invest!”

"Great! My daughter is really smart! Your suggestions are like enlightenment!"

"Dad, once our winter wheat is harvested, you can promote it throughout the county! Our winter wheat is also a high-yield variety, with an output of over 1,000 kilograms per mu!"

"Oh? My dear daughter, daddy really thanks you!"

"Dad, you can also encourage the villagers in each village to open up more wasteland! This year I plan to open a fruit canning factory and can the fruit so that it can keep for a long time and won't rot! The canned fruit can also be sold to other places! Dad, you can encourage the villagers to plant fruit trees! They can also come to Sujia Village to learn how to plant fruit trees? And encourage the villagers to develop animal husbandry, etc."

"Dad, I'm planning to open a clinic! And then I'm going to open a girls' college in the county! This college will only accept girls! It will offer courses like embroidery, medicine, cooking, etc., so that girls can have a skill. Even if they leave their husband's family in the future, they can support themselves and their children!"

"Okay, okay, okay! Daddy supports you!"

"Then Dad, I'll go back! You take your time to think about it! I'll go check out the shop!"

"Okay, my dear girl! Go ahead and do your work! Drive slowly and be safe!"

"I know, Daddy! You should also get more rest and take care of your health! Take your time with everything!"
