"You say you don't know, but you really don't know. This thing... We don't have it in Qingyuan County. No, do you understand? If the county magistrate's wife hadn't been a lady from a noble family and had such a recipe in her hand, do you think we ordinary people would

Can you see it?"

"Then you said it in vain? We ordinary people can't see it, so no matter how magical the mud is, it has nothing to do with us."

"Oh, you don't know, right? I heard that the county magistrate's wife not only used cement to repair broken walls, but also used it to pave roads... You can go to the alley outside the back office and take a look. All the bumpy places before were covered with cement.

It’s filled in and it’s smooth. If you don’t know better, you might think that a suitable stone slab was moved to fill it in. In fact, it’s not, it’s cement.”

As soon as I heard that the effect could be seen in the alley behind the back office, some people were actually moved and ran to seek confirmation.

This sight shocked many people, because they discovered that the hole in the alley had indeed been filled in, and it felt like stone slabs.

If that person hadn't said it was filled with some kind of "cement", no one would have believed it.

However, at this time, someone came forward and said that she saw it with her own eyes, and that she also asked the builders who were building the road for some cement to fill the hole in her yard.

If I go to that aunt's house again, no one can refute her even if they want to.

The word spread, and soon many people in Qingyuan County knew that the new county magistrate had married a particularly powerful daughter of a wealthy family, and he had in his hands someone who could both build walls and pave roads.

Good stuff, just add some water.

At this time, a book school happened to come to the door and said that the house was too dilapidated and wanted the Yamen to spend money to repair it.

Zhu San said nothing and asked him to find the county magistrate's wife.

Xu Yujin was also generous, saying that she would pay for the cement and workers, but other materials for repairing the house would have to be paid for by the school itself.

The principal of Qingyuan Academy did not hesitate to express his gratitude.

In this way, many people stared at Qingyuan Book School for a while, wanting to see what the effect of this cement was.

Half a month passed, the foundation was dug, and the prototype of a house gradually appeared; another month passed, and many people were amazed by the house with black tiles and gray walls.

"Is this fixed?"

"Not yet, I just put up the wall and paint a layer of dust on it."

"Ash?"

"Oh, you don't understand. It's just a layer of lime on the outside. It's the same as the cement, but with a different formula."

…

Several ordinary people were discussing nearby, surrounded by the renovated room of Qingyuan Academy, full of curiosity.

Not only the common people were curious, but also well-informed businessmen in Qingyuan County and nearby areas heard the news. They either made a trip themselves or sent people to inquire to confirm the truth.

When they found out it was true, they became interested.

Someone frequently contacted the Qingyuan County Yamen and revealed his intention to cooperate in cement, lime and other products.

Zhu San was not in a hurry to let go. While contacting these interested businessmen, he continued to touch the bottom of Qingyuan County. The more he touched, the more frightened he became.

Before coming here, he had heard that the people in Qingyuan County were tough and the bandits were rampant, but he didn't expect the bandits to be so rampant. In fact, the people in Qingyuan County were not so tough. It was obvious that the bandits had spies entered the city and controlled everyone.

big family.

The reason why the current predecessor was destroyed was not only because he wanted to die, but also because he was unwilling to join the bandits and was "annihilated" by others.

While arranging for people to fan the flames in the backyard, making his ex miserable, he also created trouble for his affairs, making him tired to deal with. Then he accidentally died on the way out to handle the case, and was killed on the spot by bandits rushing out of the mountains.

.

Afterwards, the bandit ran away long ago, and the investigation has not yet found out which bandit was responsible.

Zhu San discovered when he was with these families that some families sounded powerful, but in fact... there was something wrong with a small amount before, but if you consider that they are just "tool men" placed outside by the bandits, it seems that all of a sudden

I understand.

Zhu San suddenly found this matter difficult.

He only has the power to oversee the local administration and does not have the power to send troops. If he wants to suppress the bandits, he must cooperate with the governor of the local defense station, otherwise he will not be able to move the bandit nests at all.

So the question is, why does he ask the resident governor to listen to him?

"This matter is indeed a bit difficult to handle. How about..." Military Advisor Luo Qiushan suggested to Zhu San, "My lord, why don't you report it to the court secretly and see what your majesty means."

When Zhu San left the capital, in order to give Zhu San great power, Emperor Qin not only gave him a secret edict, but also explained a secret way to report it.

When Zhu San came to play from a secret way, he did not want to disturb the three princes.

Of course, Military Advisor Luo Qiushan knew about this. He was a member of Emperor Qin, so he naturally knew about the mission assigned to Zhu San by Emperor Qin. But with his current status, he should not know, so when he spoke

, and acted as if he didn’t know.

Zhu San was thoughtful.

He wanted to attack the bandits, but he was a little worried. He was not familiar with the art of war. If he rashly asked the resident governor to send troops to suppress the bandits, it would be fine if they were wiped out. But if they were not wiped out, he and the people under his rule might not be able to withstand the bandits' crazy revenge.

.

Therefore, you must think twice before taking this matter.

Zhu San said: "I will contact the resident governor first."

He needs to see what the resident governor is capable of. If the other party also has the intention to suppress bandits and has made plans, then he can help him; if the other party has no plans at all, he has even colluded with the bandit den in the past.

Together, haha...

If he wanted to send it to your door so rashly, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?

Zhu San and the resident governor tested each other again. At the same time, Zhu San's letter to the capital also arrived, and he gained a deeper understanding of the resident governor.

Yan Hean wrote to him and told him that the resident governor, Feng Zifeng, had an old relationship with his maternal grandfather, Sima, and had been favored by Sima Taifu.

Let Zhu San come to ask for help with Yan He'an's token, and he will definitely get help.

Zhu San was shocked. Emperor Qin sent him to this place. He must have inquired about it a long time ago. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Zhu San didn't think that he was so lucky that he could meet "one of his own" just by being a county magistrate in any place.

Although Yan and An's identity is not a secret, and those who are interested can definitely find out if they want to find out, Yan and An Ke said that only a few people know about their grandfather's kindness to the resident governor Feng Zifeng.

Will Emperor Qin miss this "few people"?

Although Yan He'an is not in the capital, he has introduced several connections to Zhu San, all of whom are available. The place where Yan He'an works is the territory of the Sima family. Once the three-year term is up, he will inevitably return to the capital.

What he is more worried about now is Zhu San. Zhu San has a "poor background" and will not be related to any faction. This also means that Zhu San cannot get any help from the outside and can only fight for himself.

Yan Hean and Zhu Qiqing are brothers, and they have a deep relationship with Zhu San. How can they see Zhu San trapped in the quagmire and remain indifferent?

So whatever Yan and An can do, he will try his best to help.

Zhu San also knew Yan He'an's feelings, and wrote back to reassure Yan He An that it would be okay to just go home and farm.
