No one knows what Magistrate Wang’s purpose is, but it’s been so long, so it’s time to take some action.

He sent a famous invitation to the squires in the city.

In fact, there were no squires, most of them were wealthy households. When Wei County suffered a disaster, many squires fled. Even if Wei County got better, many of them did not come back.

Before he became the county magistrate, Magistrate Wang was just a poor scholar.

Once you become the county magistrate, you have to entertain everyone.

He lived in the county government office and originally did not hire any servants, but for the banquet, more than ten servants came to the mansion, including a housekeeper and a servant in charge of the backyard.

The steward's surname was He, so everyone called him steward He.

He was about forty years old, slightly chubby, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled. Magistrate Wang went out to find him personally.

"Captain Lee"

He greeted Li San'er with a smile, like an old fox.

This person has a problem.

"Housekeeper"

Li Saner handed over his hand.

"I'm new here, so please take care of me, Captain Li."

He was smiling like the Maitreya Buddha in the temple.

"Butler He is so polite."

"Butler He is going out?"

The two of them are at odds with each other in face and heart. They seem to have a good relationship, but in fact they have their own guard against each other.

This Butler He suddenly appeared in Wei County. He had never seen this person in Wei County before. He came back with the former Tianwang County Magistrate when he returned from a private visit outside the city.

Not long after he came back, he hired a backyard stewardess, six boys, and six maids.

The mother-in-law looks very ordinary and a strange face.

So did the boy and the maid.

"My lord is going to have a banquet with the squire, so I have to make good preparations for it. I can't afford it if I miss your lord's business."

Butler He is talkative and always smiles when talking to people.

He greets everyone he sees and looks like he is easy to get along with.

"Then Butler He, go quickly."

"Hey, Capt. Li, I'll see you later."

Butler He agreed and stepped out to do some shopping.

Li San'er looked at his back, but there was no movement.

It was up to Qishan to find out the information, and it was not his turn.

Butler He is a great person and managed a banquet in style.

No one wanted to confront Magistrate Wang as soon as they started, so in the evening, they all went to the county government office to attend the dinner. But the interesting thing is that everyone agreed tacitly and did not bring their family members.

Magistrate Wang looked at the banquet room from a distance, with a gentle face and gentle eyes.

"Sir, everyone is here"

Butler He bowed beside him, his eyes narrowed with a fierce light.

"understood"

Magistrate Wang dusted off his sleeves, turned back to his room, changed his clothes, and then rushed to the banquet living room.

Everyone had already taken their seats in the hall.

Because there was not enough manpower, Butler He also hired some extra people.

In front of each guest is a maid who is responsible for pouring wine and serving food. She is wearing a uniform pea green dress and is well-trained, as if she came from a dental clinic in the county.

When Magistrate Wang arrived, everyone was sitting upright, and no one moved their chopsticks without opening their eyes.

The most conspicuous among the guests was Wu Ziying, who was sitting first on her right hand, her chin resting on her palm, looking a little bored.

Among all the guests, she was the only woman.

He is still sitting at the top, which shows that his status is not low.

He stepped into the hall, and everyone greeted him. Wu Ziying looked at him quietly, with a trace of disgust in his eyes. Is this the villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death?

Magistrate Wang noticed it and paused while drinking. Fortunately, he reacted quickly.The visitors are all wealthy people in the city.

He called them here because he wanted to reestablish a county school in the city, and all boys over six years old and under 12 years old could enroll.

After the disaster in Wei County, there were no schools. After County Magistrate Wang visited, he expressed his heartache. However, reestablishing a county school requires money and, of course, students.

He said that he can come forward to invite the husband, but everyone needs to inform the villagers and elders widely so that the children at home can go to school.

"Do you want to hand it over to Shu Xiu?"

"I want it"

This can be regarded as a test by County Magistrate Wang. Reopening the county school will enable a group of people who cannot study to study.

In this world, after all, it is still a world of reading.

Wei Xian was brainwashed by Li Xiuyuan. To get rid of this brainwashing, there is nothing better than reading.

He invites the teacher, and what these children want to learn is naturally taught by the teacher.

Everyone stopped talking.

Wu Ziying and Doctor Xie exchanged a look.

There are schools in the city where simplified Chinese is taught.

But there is no county school.

In the eyes of the people, county schools are different from ordinary schools.

No one agreed, and Magistrate Wang just tested their attitude. After the banquet, the things in the cups and plates were basically not touched.

He stayed and sat in the hall for a long time.

"Butler He, please take away all the dishes."

He got up and left.

It seems that Wei County is indeed controlled by that little kid Li Xiuyuan, and all the wealthy households in the city belong to him.

At the same time, the news that the county magistrate was going to reopen the county schools also reached Li Xiuyuan.

He hadn't gone very far, so the news was relatively easy to spread.

"He is testing everyone. If I guessed correctly, he should be arriving at Liu Yunzhai soon."

Folding the letter, taking out the fire folding book and lighting it, a look of deepness appeared on Li Xiuyuan's immature face.

Bai Xia sat next to him, holding a roasted chicken leg in his hand and chewing on it. Hearing this, he looked up at him and then lowered his head.

Hmm...the chicken legs are so delicious. When will I come to Jizhou? I wonder if this King of Jizhou is fishy.

She was almost out of her mind.

Chewing the fragrant chicken, she thought silently in her heart.

Li Xiuyuan guessed correctly. Magistrate Wang wanted to reopen the county school, but no one in the city supported it.

Because everyone knows that when the county school reopens, scholars will have to take the imperial examination. After what happened before, especially the decree issued by the imperial court to massacre the city, they are not enthusiastic about the imperial examination.

Also, the new text promoted by Li Xiuyuan is simple and easy to understand, and easier to learn than the original text.

Many people in the city already use the new script.

I don’t really want to learn the old words from before.

Magistrate Wang ordered someone to buy some of them. With his knowledge, even though he didn't fully understand these words, even Meng Dai Guai could recognize them quite well.

Putting down the book and rubbing his eyebrows, the situation in Wei County was more complicated than he thought.

"My lord, why don't you pay a visit to Mr. Li?" Butler He was waiting on the side. Seeing that he was troubled, he suggested.

Wang Xian paused, lowered his eyelids to block the expression in his eyes, and nodded.

"What you said makes sense, I should pay you a visit."

Seeing that he didn't refuse, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Butler He's eyes.

After he left, Magistrate Wang put away the book with an expressionless face and came to the window with his hands behind his back. He looked at the moon hanging high outside, his mind wandering and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Early on the next morning, Butler He prepared the carriage early, and Magistrate Wang took the carriage out of the city and headed towards Liu Yunzhai.

He was sitting in the carriage, holding a book in his hand and reading.

Logically speaking, when a new official takes office, he should burn the three fires, but there is no one in Wei County who can control them, so he cannot burn the fire.

The officials of Wei County managed the Qingming Festival, the sea feasts and the rivers were clear, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and there were no adulterers or criminals, so he had no way to start.
