My delicate husband

Brother Xia was originally accompanying Xiao Wanjun shopping when the housekeeper came over in a hurry. Fortunately, Xiao Wanjun was choosing jewelry and didn't notice anything unusual on Brother Xia's side.

"Your Highness, an urgent letter arrived from Yunling County. I dared not delay and delivered it immediately."

Brother Xia was also very surprised. Could it be that there was something wrong with Lan An's health? Brother Xia was a little anxious, but he still calmly opened the letter.

The content of the letter was very simple. The boy said that Brother Wu was caught in an avalanche and was buried in a coma. The doctor said that his life or death was uncertain and he might never wake up.

Brother Xia, who had been relatively calm, suddenly felt his legs go weak and cold sweats broke out. The world seemed to have lost its color. He didn't care about his appearance and grabbed a fast horse in the street. He told the housekeeper to take care of the affairs in the mansion and rode away.

When the housekeeper saw the prince losing his composure, he guessed that something had happened to that adult. He quickly apologized and paid the horse money, and repeatedly apologized to Xiao Wanjun, saying that the prince had an urgent matter and had to leave for a few days. Xiao Wanjun was not displeased, but just asked the housekeeper to buy the jewelry she liked.

Brother Xia galloped on his horse in the heavy snow. The snowflakes hit his face and it hurt a little, but fortunately he was wearing a cloak, so he wasn't cold.

Brother Xia was more panicked than ever before. He could accept that they would never see each other again and become strangers, but he could not accept losing Brother Wu.

It was almost noon when Zhang Xiaomo woke up. Seeing Lan An's red eyes, he felt very distressed. He hugged her in his arms and kissed her hair.

"An An, you must be scared. Don't cry. Your husband will feel bad when you see it."

"Brother Xiaomo, you must take me with you wherever you go in the future."

"Okay, everyone take my baby An An with you."

Zhang Xiaomo coaxed Lan An for a while, and then told him about Brother Wu. Lan An's expression was a little complicated. He pulled off Zhang Xiaomo's clothes unhappily and sucked his collarbone.

"An An, don't hook me."

Lan Euan increased the intensity of his bite. He didn't like Zhang Xiaomo feeling indebted to others.

Brother Xu finished washing up and prepared to go to bed, but Brother Kong had no intention of letting him go and couldn't wait to push him down on the bed. Brother Kong had hardly slept last night and he was afraid that Brother Xu would be in danger, so he really needed to vent now.

"Aqiu~"

"Shut up. I'm D myself. Do you know how worried I am about you?"

……

Brother Xu indulged Brother Kong's madness and he enjoyed it very much, but he was really tired. The two of them simply packed up and fell asleep in each other's arms.

Brother Han followed Brother Man into the room, looked him up and down carefully, and took the opportunity to take advantage of him.

After watching over Brother Man who had fallen asleep, I secretly kissed his lips. As expected, they became swollen. Fortunately, Brother Man was sleeping very soundly and just groaned twice in discomfort.

Brother Han felt even more upset. He pinched the cheek of the person in front of him unhappily, calmed down his mood, and walked out of the room.

Brother He went to the hot pot restaurant to help without his boss's instructions. After all, Bai Lu and Manager Fang were not there.

Guo Ge'er went to find Song Hanzi. He hadn't seen Song Hanzi for a long time and still missed him very much. A lot of things happened recently. Guo Ge'er just wanted to see him and ask him for a hug.

Brother Xia also rode at full speed without stopping. He hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and his face was hurting badly by the wind and snow. Fortunately, his ears were protected by fox fur, otherwise they would have been frozen off.

His hands had lost feeling and his inner thighs were burning with pain, but these were nothing to Brother Xia. He just wanted to reach his destination as quickly as possible. He worked without sleep, food or water, and changed two horses along the way. He finally arrived in Yunling County two days after receiving the letter.

Brother Wu had a lot of official business piled up that had not been dealt with, and the legal advisor was also undecided. The heavy snow still caused many villages to suffer more or less damage. There was no one in charge of the county government, so the legal advisor found Zhang Xiaomo with the official business that needed to be dealt with urgently.

Zhang Xiaomo was still sleeping. Lan An looked at the official business that needed to be dealt with urgently and had an idea in his mind.

"Master, we will allocate funds directly to help the villagers repair all severely damaged houses. In addition, we will give each damaged household 30 kilograms of potatoes and 30 kilograms of brown rice as compensation. Please arrange for someone to do this immediately."

"Don't worry, Master An, I will make sure it's all arranged."

"Please compile a list of the noble families and wealthy businessmen in Jinling County for me."

"Master An, they are all very troublesome and difficult to deal with."

"It's simple. Just find their weak spot. In life, there's always something to fear."

Lan An gave the legal advisor a brief explanation, and the legal advisor had a different opinion of the young man in front of him. He was indeed quick-witted and knew how to control people. He was worthy of being the talent favored by the county magistrate and the prince.

The master followed Lan'an's instructions and sent a signal to the small clan. Now the bait has been thrown out, and they are just waiting for the fish to bite the hook.

As for the landlords and gentry, Lan An knew that this group of people valued reputation, so Lan An thought of the merit stele and the literati poetry conference, and they would be happy to donate on their own initiative.

It is even simpler for businessmen. They value profit. As long as they feel it is profitable and are given some preferential policies, they will take the initiative.

Lan An specially formulated a corresponding plan and asked his master to implement it as soon as possible after discussing and finalizing it with him.

Lan An also asked his legal advisor to gather famous poor students in the name of the county magistrate and ask them to compose poems about snow. The excellent works would be displayed on the bulletin board of the county government office, and would also be compiled into books and sold in the largest academy. At the same time, poems accepted in the collection would be rewarded with one or two taels of silver per poem, with no upper limit.

Students from poor families all felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They could become famous and be appreciated by the county magistrate. The key was that there was money. It was really hard not to be tempted. Even if they had the character of a scholar, they had to bow down for a few pieces of silver.

Lan An, who was in charge of organizing the poetry and singing competition, was handed over to Brother He. He had high emotional intelligence and certain literary talent, so I felt at ease handing the responsibility over to him. Besides, there was no one else available except him for the time being.

The poetry reading was held at the Chuxia Hotpot Restaurant. It received a good response and attracted many people to come and watch.

As long as the writers can write poems that meet the requirements, they can have a free hot pot meal. The top three can even have free hot pot meals for a month. The rewards are very tempting. After all, hot pot is very popular in early summer. You may not be able to eat it even if you queue up, and the price is expensive.

Of course, in this poetry conference, the top three who stood out wrote special poems for the top three landlords who donated voluntarily. The landlords' vanity was greatly satisfied, and they felt that it was worth spending some food to gain these fame and works. Those landlords who donated less regretted it very much. Unfortunately, this opportunity only came once, and it would seem cheap if they donated more than once.

Lan An also knew that if a county government wanted to develop its economy well, it would be useless to rely solely on agriculture. After all, agricultural productivity was too low now, and it was still necessary to vigorously develop commerce.

The social classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans were deeply engraved in the minds of the people of Chuqi. It was difficult for merchants to get the respect they deserved, and they were treated harshly, with all kinds of taxes being quite high.

Lan An immediately decided to provide a special list of academies for the children of businessmen who had made great contributions to the county, and then ask Brother Xia or Brother Wu to write the recommendation letters personally.

Secondly, if you actively pay taxes and reach a certain amount, the county government will provide a certain degree of convenience, and customs clearance documents for travel will be issued on a priority basis.

At the same time, the county government would set up a special chamber of commerce department to deal specifically with the problems of merchants, giving priority to those who made great contributions and enjoying privileges.

When this document was published, it caused a lot of controversy in Jinling County. Of course, no one dared to openly violate it, and many businessmen were still shocked.

Although the magistrate of Jinling County loved his people like his own children and was not harsh towards merchants, this was an unprecedented opportunity and many merchants were eager to try. For them, this was a chance to change their fate. After all, it was very difficult for merchants to enter the officialdom.

Lan An chose to do these things just to help Brother Wu and Brother Xia. After all, Brother Wu saved Zhang Xiaomo, and Lan An felt a little scared at the thought of losing Zhang Xiaomo.

When Brother Xia rushed back, Lan'an's policies had all been promulgated. Lan'an also opened a porridge stall, but customers had to shovel snow themselves to get the food, using work as a substitute for relief.

During the days that Zhang Xiaomo was recuperating, he knew that Lan An was helping Brother Wu handle official business and did not interfere too much. He also knew that Lan An did all this for him.
