Chapter 470: Intend

   It is a good thing to be able to return to the capital, but this happened so suddenly, Wen Jiuxiao and Yu Zhi were not prepared at all.

  It has been eight years, and they have been in Shanyun County for eight years. The stalls are a bit big, and several workshops have been opened. Winemakers, sugar makers, shipbuilders, and brick kilns...Although they borrowed the name of the county government, all the investments were made by Yu Zhi. Take half, and the other half goes into the account of the county government.

   This is Yu Zhi's voluntary subsidy to Wen Jiuxiao to develop Shanyun County. Everyone in the county government knows about it, and they respect Yu Zhi, a young lady who is good at business and very generous.

  Especially those headed by Zhang Changsheng, others are respectful, but he is in awe, and has never coveted these workshops in the slightest.

  These workshops are easy to deal with, as long as the status quo is maintained, half of Yu Zhi’s income can be sent back to Beijing once every six months.

What is more difficult is the accounts of the county government. There are several fixed expenses in the county government's account, such as military support, pensions, and special benefits for pregnant women and girls... Yu Zhi is worried that the new county magistrate will cut these expenses . It was with great difficulty that she and Wen Jiuxiao developed Shanyun County, so the current decree naturally hopes to be implemented all the time.

   Even if he leaves, Yu Zhi also hopes that Shanyun County will get better and better. Even if the status quo is maintained, he doesn't want Shanyun County to return to the way it was eight years ago.

   The more difficult ones are Yantian and the sea. Yu Zhi's private salt field, she doesn't want to take advantage of others at all, but it may not be easy to continue to make money without anyone noticing.

   It is not easy and cannot be cheap for others. This thing is too eye-catching, what should I do? Yu Zhi pondered... At worst, she would switch to sea business, and I believe the sea people on the island would like her salt very much.

  Before, the salt produced by Yu Zhi’s private salt field was quietly transported to the mainland of the Central Plains. This is also Yu Zhi’s kindness. She tried to equalize the price of salt by herself.

  In ancient times, transportation was a big problem, and the cost was too high. The caravan of Yan Yuzhi really made a little money, and sometimes even worked for nothing. Yu Zhi didn't mind, as the money was too much to a certain extent, it was just a dead thing piled up there, so let's spend it, and feel at ease.

  Luofu Island has become the base camp of sailors. The residents on the island are the original pirates. Only those who can be reformed well are eligible to become island residents. Those who are not well reformed will continue to be slaves.

  After several years of hard work, Luofu Island has become a paradise. The residents on the island are farming and fishing, and they have built various small workshops and opened shops. They live a happy life. Can live and work in peace and contentment, who wants to live the life of a pirate licking blood?

  Wen Jiuxiao is the county magistrate, so of course he is in charge of all affairs in Shanyun County, and this sailor was created by him, so he naturally obeys his orders. He will not hand over this sailor, even if he returns to Beijing, he will firmly hold it in his hands. With this sailor, he can do more.

  So the military and government must be separated.

  During the Daqing Dynasty, there was a clear distinction between civil and military affairs, and a county magistrate like Wen Jiuxiao could not mobilize a large number of troops. The original armed force in Shanyun County was composed of dozens of people under Zhang Changsheng's command, and more than half of them were filled by his family members.

   It was only after Wen Jiuxiao took office that he replenished the armed forces for the three inspections. Later, to guard against pirates, he recruited soldiers once. Later, the sailors were trained and recruited again.

  The garrison and sailors are actually mixed together, and now there are 1,500 people.

  Small Shanyun County shouldn’t have so many garrisons. Isn’t this a special situation? Moreover, Wen Jiuxiao raised soldiers by himself, and the outside world didn't know their details, so he kept messing around like this.

  Before the arrival of the new county magistrate, Wen Jiuxiao separated the sailors from the garrison. The sailors were 900, under the command of Wen Jiuxiao's confidant, Chief Guard Jiang. Of course, there are only 500 people on the list, and it is easy to operate with a sea base.

  Wen Jiuxiao also allocated 100 acres of salt fields to the sailors by the way, self-sufficient and not subject to the jurisdiction of the county magistrate.

  The remaining 600 people were under the control of Zhang Changsheng, and there were still three inspections. Above the inspections, there was a commander, and Zhang Changsheng was the commander of the 600 people. One hundred acres of salt fields were also used to raise soldiers, so as to save him from getting involved with the new county magistrate.

  When everyone in the county government heard the news of the county magistrate's promotion, it was like a bolt from the blue.

   No, they don't want a new county magistrate, they just want to follow Master Wen. Master Wen's ability and courage are obvious to all. The reason why Shanyun County is today is all due to Master Wen!

   Master Wen is gone, what should they do?

  What kind of person is the new county magistrate? Will they wear shoes? Can we all get together? They are all used to Mr. Wen's way of doing things, and they don't want to change at all!

   One by one, they are all mourning!

  However, my lord is Gao Sheng, the second-rank Hubu Shangshu, who has been promoted so many levels, and they are the only ones in the entire Daqing Dynasty. While everyone was flustered, they were also extremely proud.

   No matter how reluctant they are, they can't block the way of the adults!

   "What? What? It's a good thing for adults to be promoted. Everyone is crying, who will show it? Those who don't know think you are dissatisfied with adults." Zhuo Zhengyang teased.

  The others snorted at him one after another, "You don't have to worry about returning to Beijing with your lord. What about us? I really miss your lord! Alas, there is no better way to go to the peak than your lord."

"My lord is not only my superior, but also my life-saving grace. Naturally, I will go wherever my lord goes. As long as my lord doesn't dislike me, I will follow my lord to do my best for the rest of my life." Zhuo Zhengyang had a look on his face. I am proud of myself.

   How hated is this frightening look? Several people looked at each other, and beat the guy together, "Let you show off, make you feel good, let you be full, I don't know if I'm hungry, I'm hungry!"

  Zhuo Zhengyang yelled ouch, but yelled, "I know, you are just jealous of me, jealous that I am treated by adults."

   It made others want to beat him again.

After a commotion, everyone was in a better mood. Zhuo Zhengyang looked at the crowd and said solemnly, "My lord is promoted, we should be happy for him. These years, my lord has devoted himself to the people of Shanyun County. Already. For eight years, my lord has not been back to the capital once. Now that Shanyun County is in such a state, my lord has given an explanation to the folks and folks in the county."

   After a pause, his face became more solemn, "After your lord returns to Beijing, Shanyun County will depend on you. I hope you will remember your teachings and guard Shanyun County, and don't let your lord's years of hard work go to waste."

   After finishing speaking, he solemnly cupped his fists and bowed.

  Others also solemnly returned the gift, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhuo, we will not disappoint your expectations."

  My lord arranged the future of each of them before leaving, and they will never forget this kindness.

  Go to Xiaoxiang Academy to see the update!
