"Go, you must go, you have to do the work in Weiyuan County."

Ji Mingtang grimaced: "Your Majesty, I don't have three heads and six arms."

"You have many capable people, so you can make arrangements yourself. Otherwise, I will transfer you to the palace."

"Then let's teach."

The emperor and Ji Li smiled, holding the bottle and looking at it carefully.

"She should be able to do more. You have been there for a long time. Please ask her to do more. Don't tell me what I said. Just say that the border officers need it. She is kind-hearted and will definitely agree."

Ji Mingtang said in his heart, for you, I, a dignified third-grade official, will kneel at the door of her house.

I'm just thick-skinned, who can stand it?

As for Zhu Youcai, because he was celebrating the New Year and had his beloved wife with him, he didn't know anything about what was going on outside. The two of them stayed indoors every day.

In previous years, the business of Zhu's grocery store was very prosperous at the beginning of the new year.

But this year, there was no one, which was so strange.

His son told him about this, but Zhu Youcai didn't believe it and ran to the shop in front to take a look.

Sure enough, it was deserted, with not even a sign of any guests.

"How is this going?"

"My son didn't know. It's been like this for several days, but no one has come."

Zhu Youcai frowned, put his hands behind his back, and walked out. There were so many buyers in the shop opposite, and he rolled his eyes.

He took out a piece of silver and weighed it in his hands.

He stopped a man who had just bought new year’s goods and asked, “Brother, I want to ask you something?”

"Go ahead."

"Why don't you go to the grocery store across the street to buy it instead of buying it here?"

The man frowned: "I often buy here, I'm used to it."

"Oh, that's it, I'm sorry."

Not giving up, he asked one by one. Many people shook their heads and gave the same reasons as the men.

He didn't believe it when he saw a woman bringing a child to buy things. Her clothes were shabby and her family situation was not good.

So he stepped forward and stopped: "If you can tell me why you come here to buy and don't even go there, the money belongs to you."

When the woman saw the silver, she swallowed her saliva, then looked down at her child, her nose felt sore.

"really?"

"Absolutely true."

Zhu Youcai directly put the money into her hand: "Say it!"

"The great benevolent man of Qingshi Town, Mrs. Huang ordered me not to go to your house to buy goods."

"Is there anything else?"

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Whoever dares to sell the goods from Shanshui Village to the Zhu family will not sell the goods to that person."

Zhu Youcai took a deep breath after hearing this. Damn it, he was just so busy with the beauty that he forgot about it.

It’s broken, it’s broken, it’s too simple to think about.

Mrs. Qin, no matter how much she hates Mrs. Xiang, she is still Shitou's mother. If she acts like this, she is obviously slapping her in the face. What should she do?
He returned to the shop, sat on a chair, and sighed.

It happened that Mrs. Wang came looking for him. Seeing his appearance, she asked with concern:
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Youcai sighed and told her what happened. Mrs. Wang looked at the grocery store with disgust.

"If you make a living in a small town like this, you will only be able to make a living in the year of the monkey."

"Our Zhu family started by selling groceries."

"Let's go to the capital. We have a house there, and I happen to have a shop in hand. I want to open a similar store there. With my brother here, wouldn't it be nice to have him introduce a few big businesses to you?"

Zhu Youcai was very excited after hearing this: "It's just that I can't bear to part with the Qin family's products. You also know how delicious they are and how profitable they are."

"Just keep selling?"

"She knew that I abandoned the Xiang family and married you, and she hated me so much that she asked people to block my way out. She can't sell her in the future."

Mrs. Wang chuckled and said, "Hey, what do I mean? I can't sell it to you, but I can sell it to someone else. I'll just change it to someone else and don't let anyone know about it, okay?"

Only then did Zhu Youcai have a smile on his face.

"Madam, why are you so smart, why didn't I think of it?"

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes at him: "My brother is here, why should we be afraid of her?"

Zhu Youcai's smiling face turned dark again.

"Madam, you don't know that the backer behind the Qin family is the Ji family."

Wang was surprised: "Are you talking about the Ji family in the capital?" "Yes, you know Ji Mingtang, right? He is the county magistrate here and has a very good relationship with the Qin family. I wanted her to be here before when the Xiang family was here." Build a bridge and make friends with the Qin family, but that woman doesn’t take softness and hardness, and the whole family is hard-nosed.”

"That's why you abandoned the Xiang family and chose me?"

"No, it's Mrs. Xiang who is too noisy. She married me, but she still thought about her ex-husband. When someone got married, she made trouble. You said this, can I take it?"

"How is her ex-husband doing now?"

"That man married the daughter of the Qian family in Fucheng. I heard that her uncle is a prefect in another Fucheng."

The corner of Wang's mouth twitched. No official was higher than her brother's. She originally wanted to be the boss, but now there is no chance.

"Okay, don't be so sad. Just do as I say. The capital is so nice, why do you have to stay in this small place?"

"Let me think about it."

Anyway, this year, the Zhu family is not having a good time.

During this period of time, the emperor visited all the places in Jeju, and finally returned to Qingshi Town. For some reason, he liked it here.

He found that the economy of Qingshi Town was more prosperous than other places, and it was much easier to get along with people.

Moreover, there are few people begging.

The common people have formed a custom of doing good deeds, accumulating good deeds, and helping the poor!

Just look at it on the road. There are always people giving beggars some food, copper coins, and doing whatever they can.

Ji Li explained to him: "Your Majesty, it was all motivated by the good deeds done by the old lady of the Huang family and Madam Qin in these years. When their families hire people, they always focus on poor households first."

"I heard that the goods in her workshop are only sold to those in Shanshui Village?"

"There are too many monks and not enough meat. If you let others buy it, there will be no chaos, and it will be difficult to manage. It will also cause dissatisfaction among the people in the village."

"She is so capable, why would she still be afraid of this?"

"She is annoyed. She wants to make the people in the village rich first, and then find a way to bring other villages along."

"She is capable, but after all she is alone."

"I heard that the plum blossoms in Shanshui Village are about to bloom. Let's go and have a look secretly. If we don't go to her house, she won't be angry if she doesn't know."

Then a smile appeared on the emperor's face: "You can have this."

"After the New Year, will you go back?"

"If you don't go back, stay a little longer. I find that I feel very at ease living here."

"You can't always let the prince handle government affairs. Be careful that he has other ideas."

"No, Canglong Guard is in my hands. He doesn't dare. When I go back, he can carefully choose among the emperor's grandchildren and find one he is satisfied with."

"This is your family matter."

"Didn't you discuss it just now?"

"I know I'm wrong."

"Okay, Ji Mingtang wants to teach his child to read. It just so happens that he can be sent here to study as an ordinary person."

Ji Li grinned and said, "Emperor, you really think about it, and you can even pull off such a weird thing."

"Is it inappropriate?"

"It's suitable. Since such good conditions can't create a future emperor, why not give it a try here."

The old emperor was at his wits end and could not even think of this solution.

"Just Mrs. Qin?"

"I don't care about heaven and earth, but I don't care about this, and I didn't go to her house."

"Ok."

The emperor chuckled: "I won't hide it from you. I want him to get close to Madam Qin. If anything happens in the future, someone will support him."

Okay, wait here.

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Shanshui Village was more lively than Qingshi Town and the county seat.

Every household hangs red lanterns in advance to remind them that the New Year is approaching.

The adults cleaned the village roads, and the children played on them and set off newly purchased firecrackers.

After rescuing the child twice, Qin Yue called Hu Hai to gather the whole village at her door.

"I'm inviting you here this time. I want to teach you some common sense."

"What are you teaching?" asked the villagers.

"Life-saving technique."

"Oh my God, is this how you saved that child?"
