Quick Wear: Even big guys have to work hard

People in ancient times were generally not very receptive to new things.

However, new ways to make money should not be accepted too quickly, regardless of the era.

After eating the tofu and braised meat, the villagers in Shanqian Village tried every means to get close to them, which is only human nature.

then.

The Wu family taught them how to make tofu, and they were extremely grateful.

The simple and honest villagers secretly helped the Wu family with farm work, and many even helped with quarrying.

This is also why Mi Shishi wants to lead the whole village to prosperity.

Except for a few lazy people, most of the villagers in Shanqian Village are hardworking and simple.

Early that morning, Mi Shishi went to Changxing County with her uncle.

The three sons of the Wu family, the eldest and the second son, both resembled Wu Laoshi, being honest, simple, and quiet.

The third brother, Wu Youshou, was different. Not only was he shrewd, but he could also trick the mountain spirit into self-harm with just a few words.

therefore.

I usually leave all the errands to him.

Mi Shishi went to the county town this time to investigate the character of the county magistrate.

If he's a good person, she's willing to give him a chance to get promoted and make money.

otherwise.

Mi Shishi should go to the prefectural city, or directly to the capital, and find an opportunity to submit the various recipes to the emperor, so that they can reach the emperor's ears directly.

She originally wanted to find merchants to cooperate with.

But merchants are driven by profit.

They are very likely to monopolize the formula.

If we want to promote this throughout the entire Great Yin Dynasty and benefit the people, the best approach is to cooperate with the imperial court.

Only the imperial court cares about the people's livelihood. Besides, which powerful backer can compare to the imperial court?

This is where the purpose of examining the reputation of local officials comes in. The magistrate of Changxing County was surnamed Shan, and was around thirty years old, which was still quite young.

After the system collects his causal relationships, it becomes immediately clear whether he is a good or bad person.

To Mi Shishi's surprise, the magistrate of Shan County had a very powerful background. He came from the Ruyang Earl's Mansion and was a direct descendant of the Earl's Mansion.

What surprised her most was that he was a trusted confidant whom the emperor wanted to rely on.

Being sent abroad is about gaining experience.

What a perfect candidate!

The magistrate of Shan County has a powerful background and connections, is talented and wealthy, and is unlikely to be corrupt.

They were also qualified to submit secret memorials.

Not afraid of being intercepted or obstructed along the way.

It’s decided, it’s him!

Let's try the tofu recipe first. After receiving the recipe, Magistrate Shan naturally investigated it before finally finding out the reason for presenting the recipe.

"Sir, our niece has always been a bit slow to react, and she has only fully recovered in the last two years. This is God's blessing upon our family."

We believe in cherishing what we have, so our whole family decided to share our tofu recipe, hoping that everyone in the world can eat tofu and that selling tofu can supplement our family income.

Wu Youshou chuckled sheepishly.

His face has always been deceptive; those who don't know him might think he's honest and simple.

but!

Compared to seasoned officials, he, a farmer, was indeed more honest and simple.

After listening, the magistrate of Shan County finished speaking.

I was immediately filled with respect; I never expected that a farmer's son would have such awareness.

Although he came from a noble family, he was not arrogant enough to look down on farmers. He was carefully nurtured by the family and naturally possessed a certain magnanimity.

"Good, well said! I will personally petition the imperial court to commend you!"

The magistrate of Shan County was overjoyed.

It's not just about achievements, but about the joy that people around the world have another way to make a living.

What a good official!

Mi Shishi observed quietly, making her own judgment.

Also!

To be able to gain the emperor's favor at such a young age means that he is at least a promising talent with a broad vision and a heart for the world.

Once tofu is popularized throughout the entire Yin Dynasty, let's hand over the other recipes to the magistrate of Shanxian County!

"Come, come, come, this must be the little girl with incredible strength. Let me see just how strong she is."

The magistrate of Shan County led the uncle and nephew to the back garden and pointed to a stone in the garden.

Mi Shishi looked around and walked towards the landscape stone that was as tall as an adult.

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, she effortlessly picked up a large ornamental rock and circled it twice in the garden.

God!

This landscape stone is solid and weighs at least three or four hundred pounds.

"it is good!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison, "Great!"

"With such divine power, staying in the mountains is a waste of your talents. Young lady, would you like to go to the capital?"

The magistrate of Shan County was delighted at the sight of the hunt.

He actually wanted to recommend her to the military camp, but considering she was only ten years old, he decided to bring her back to the capital first.

As for whether a girl is suitable for going to the military?

He didn't have too many concerns. During the founding of the Great Yin Dynasty, both the Empress and the Princess had led troops and fought battles.

In addition to the Imperial Guards in the capital, there was also a women's army, which was commanded by the Grand Princess.

The magistrate of Shan County wanted to recommend Mi Shishi to this very women's army.

"Sir, I will only consider it after the village has built roads and become prosperous, and my family has earned money."

Mi Shishi said.

The magistrate of Shan County has already sent people to investigate.

I know that two years ago, Mi Shishi not only suddenly had an epiphany, but also received divine favor and some opportunities.

Such strange and unusual events.

It has been passed down through generations.

For example, the founding emperor of the Great Yin Dynasty suddenly attained enlightenment and received divine assistance.

A man who knew nothing about military strategy suddenly became a war god who could strategize and win every battle.

Not only did they gain control of the world, they also defeated the barbarians so thoroughly that they became vassals of the Great Yin Dynasty.

They paid tribute every year.

If Mi Shishi behaves more maturely, it won't arouse any suspicion at all.

On the contrary, it is her divine power that people talk about with great interest and spreads about her in an exaggerated and fantastical way.

"Building roads?"

The magistrate of Shan County asked with great interest.

"Yes, if you want to get rich, build roads first. Our village is in a good location, the only way out of the mountains. Only by building roads can we get rich!"

Mi Shishi said.

"If you want to get rich, build roads first! Well said!"

The magistrate of Shan County praised it.

I was amazed to myself; he truly deserved to be blessed by heaven.

This awareness is far superior to that of those hypocritical and treacherous officials in the imperial court!

The magistrate of Shan County grew to like this family more and more; each member was righteous and worth befriending!

The presentation of the tofu recipe went smoothly this time, and I am very satisfied.

The magistrate of Shanxian County has indicated that he will mention the road construction issue when he submits his memorial to the throne.

It allows one to both claim credit and demonstrate righteousness.

Mi Shishi was just taking precautions in advance, hoping that the county magistrate could organize road repairs when the time came.

This was also a merit of the county magistrate, as it allowed him to conscript people for corvée labor.

If the imperial court offers a reward.

It would be best if some money could be allocated.

Mi Shishi hopes that another road can be built that leads directly to the ferry.

From Shanqian Village to the town, and east to the ferry, it's a distance of over 50 li (approximately 25 kilometers).

If there were a direct connection to the ferry crossing, it would be most beneficial for Shanqian Village to establish a market center for mountain products.

With the magistrate of Shan County having direct access to the emperor, the court quickly implemented and promoted the tofu recipe.

Simultaneously.

The emperor personally issued an edict of commendation, and needless to say, the magistrate of Shan County was about to be promoted.

The road to Shanqian Village was naturally repaired directly by the county government, and sure enough, funds were allocated.

Finally, there was praise for the Wu family.

Wu Laoshi was given an official position, a fifth-rank official, which is higher than the rank of county magistrate.

But this is just a sinecure.

They receive an annual salary, don't need to attend court or manage people and affairs, making them especially suitable for honest, simple old farmers.

Although the three branches of the Wu family have already separated.

But the patriarch, Wu Laoshi, is still alive!

Therefore, Mi Shishi strongly supported the idea of ​​having the original owner's grandfather bestow an official title upon him.

The entire Wu family treated the original owner very well, so it was only right to repay them.

In addition to a sinecure, there was also three hundred gold coins, which is three thousand taels of silver.

That's quite a lot!

After discussing it with the Wu family, Mi Shishi decided to donate 300 gold coins to repair the road.

Build another road that leads directly to the ferry crossing.

Upon learning of this, the magistrate of Shan County sighed again and took over the matter.

He called on wealthy businessmen in the county to donate money to repair the road, and Mi Shishi did not let them donate in vain.

She gave several recipes for soy products to the wealthy businessman who donated money, including recipes for tofu skin, tofu pudding, dried tofu, and so on.

The original plan was to let the Wu family make money first, and then wait for the tofu recipe to be popularized.

Someone will definitely be able to figure out how to make these tofu products.

But it's about seizing the initiative in advance.

You can naturally earn more.

but.

Mr. Wu receives a considerable annual salary, so giving it to donors is no big deal!
