Yang Haiyan has only been to two counties. As far as the memory of the original owner, she has never been to other places except the capital. Of course, compared with the capital, no county seat is as prosperous as the capital. Therefore, Huanshui County and Bianguan County, which Yang Haiyan has visited, are incomparable to Yunxiang County.

Due to poverty and backwardness, Yunxiang County cannot develop in all aspects. People who once had some financial foundation, such as wealthy businessmen or county residents with some family background, will move away from Yunxiang County. If the development of a county is lagging behind, how can the towns and villages develop? After all, the county seat can drive the towns and villages.

The current Yunxiang County, to Yang Haiyan, feels like a town over the family room. No wonder the General's Mansion is a bit dilapidated. After the palace buildings that did not fit the facial features were demolished, restructured, and moved away, the only thing left was an empty palace, so it was dilapidated. Even though the palace is like this, the shops in the county town are also old. Probably the only thing that's still standing is that it hasn't collapsed like a city wall.

Yang Haiyan has already bought land, including land for military camps and land for the General's Mansion. These lands were all chosen by Niu Da. Speaking of which, the land here is much cheaper than the land at the border.

놇Border, 껗 and other places cost ‌ taels of silver, medium places cost 6 taels of silver, and 떘 and other places cost 눁 taels of silver. But here in 놆놇, 껗 and other places only have 6 taels of silver, medium places only have 눁 taels of silver, and 떘 and other places have only 2 taels of silver. Because there are few rich people and people with status have migrated, there is no place to sell the products produced by poor families, making the land cheap.

However, this place with cheap land also has an advantage, and that is the issue of paying taxes. Because land is cheap, people have more land, and with more land, they have more food left after paying taxes. If there is plenty of food, everyone will be full.

To sum up the situation in Yunxiang County, the poor are really poor because they have no money. But the people are still very energetic because they can eat enough.

Logically speaking, since the land is cheap and there is a lot of harvest left in the land, their conditions are good. But if you take things to other counties to sell, the round trip expenses are also expensive. Therefore, the people in Yunxiang County give people the impression that they are content with just one inch of land and are used to their current life. 놇It can solve the problem of food and clothing. Poverty and other things are not so necessary.

놇What can be done in such a poor place? ‌Doing business in the store? Like the border gate? Probably no one even bought snacks.

Grow crops to sell?

Don't think about it.

So for the people of Yunxiang County, what they want is how to make money for them, not how to let Yang Haiyan make money for herself.

Let the people in Yunxiang County make money, and when they have money, Yang Haiyan will also make money.

There is only one way for them to make money, which is to use the land for welfare. They are not short of land. Soon, Yang Haiyan had an idea in her mind. It was not difficult for modern people to use the land to make money. After thinking about it, Yang Haiyan went to visit the few shops in the county that were still doing business.

Qin Fang waited at the gate of the county city. Hearing Captain Lu arrange for soldiers to call his wife, he did not go back. However, when the soldier came back, his wife did not come, and all expectations and surprises were in vain.

The soldier didn't know what Qin Fang was thinking, so he said respectfully: "General, my wife left here and never returned home."

When Qin Fang heard this, he hummed expressionlessly.

The soldier was shocked when he heard this reply. Did he do something wrong? Why does the general sound unhappy?

Before the soldier could think more, Qin Fang said again: "Go and get busy."

Soldier: "놆."

The group of people led by Qin Fang did not need to set up tents, because the group of people led by Yang Haiyan had already set up enough tents, and they would move in directly after arriving.

Qin Fang inspected the camp and found that it was much better than the campsite in the wild. Everyone was in good spirits and felt a little relieved. "Colonel Lu." He called over Colonel Lu who came first.

Lieutenant Lu hurried over: "General?"

Qin Fang pointed to the collapsed city wall over there and asked: "This city wall has collapsed. Why doesn't the county magistrate repair it?" He doesn't interfere in ordinary affairs in Yunxiang County, but as a general guarding the city, he will not be affected by this wall in the future. Responsibility, so he must take care of it.

Lieutenant Lu said: "I asked the county magistrate. The county magistrate said that this matter is a bit complicated and I will tell you when you arrive. He also said that I still need your help with this matter. However, I also asked the common people. The collapse of the county wall is related to the mountain in the southeast. "

oh? Qin Fang looked to the southeast. The mountain was very close to the county seat. It took about two quarters of an hour to ride a horse. There are few mountains so close to the county seat. "What does it have to do with that mountain?"

Lieutenant Lu explained that he was surprised to hear this: "Renzhou was originally the territory of King Liang, and now your General's Mansion was renovated from the original Mansion of King Liang. It is said that King Liang built the palace in a barren area. Yunxiang County, because of this kind of mountain, Liang Wang likes to hunt, and there are a lot of prey in the mountains. However, Liang Wang is worried that the common people will go hunting and kill his prey, so he stipulates that the common people of Renzhou. Don't go hunting in that mountain, so that mountain has a name, Beast Mountain. Because King Liang couldn't hunt so many prey by himself, there were more and more prey on the mountain, so it was called Beast Mountain. ”

Qin Fang knew some things about King Liang, Yang Haiyan had mentioned it to him. Later, when he went to Huanshui County, he spent some time with Du Ke and found that although Lord Du looked serious, he was a good official. So he also asked Lord Du for advice on being an official and Yunxiang County. However, he didn't know about the matter of Beast Mountain, and Lord Du never mentioned it to him, so Lord Du probably didn't know about it either.

Qin Fang said, "Go on."

Captain Lu: "The local people said that there are more and more prey in the Beast Mountain. Although King Liang died and this place was handed over to the court, the court has never said anything about the matter of the Beast Mountain, so the people dare not go to the Beast Mountain to hunt. Therefore, the result of too much prey in the Beast Mountain is... Every spring, when there is nothing to eat, the prey will go to the mountain to kill the people. There are no people at the foot of the Beast Mountain anymore. The people have moved away. 깊。

Qin Fang frowned: "You want to say that the collapse of the city wall of this county was caused by the prey of the beast mountain? A mere beast, no matter how ferocious it is, can it be so powerful?"

Captain Lu did not believe it, but said: "The common people saw it with their own eyes, how can it be false? If only one or two common people said it, they would not believe it, but every common people said so, and they also said that they saw it with their own eyes."

If so, why didn't the county magistrate of Yunxiang County report it to the court? Qin Fang looked at the city wall and pondered.

County Office

The yamen runners would go to the county town to be on duty every day, one to observe the situation of the surrendered barbarians, and the other to see if there was anything they needed help with, but they did not expect to meet General Qin coming back today. So, the yamen runners immediately returned to the county office and told County Yang about this matter.

County Magistrate Yang said, "Is General Qin back? I know, you go now." General Qin just came back today, so he must go back to the General's Mansion. Besides, he was tired from traveling for days, so even if he wanted to visit, he would not do it tomorrow.

With this idea, County Magistrate Yang went to the backyard of the county government office.

County Magistrate Yang arrived at the gate of Mrs. Yang's yard and was informed that Mrs. Yang was entertaining guests, so he said, "Then go back to the study. When it's too empty, come and tell me."

Maid: "No."

As soon as County Magistrate Yang left, the maid came and said, "Madam, the master is back. He knows that you are entertaining guests. He has returned to the study and said that he will come over when you are free later." It was clear from the words that County Magistrate Yang had something to do with Mrs. Yang.

Seeing this, the guest was very tactful and said, "Since Madam Yang has something to do, I will take my leave first."

Mrs. Yang said, "Then I won't see you off."

After the guest left, Mrs. Yang went to the study to find County Magistrate Yang and said, "Master."

County Magistrate Yang was practicing calligraphy, and when he saw Mrs. Yang coming in, he said, "Are you leaving?"

Mrs. Yang: "Let's go, Madam Shang, I'm here to matchmake for Shunqing." Yang Shunqing, County Magistrate Yang's younger brother, is 25 this year. After the Yang family got into trouble, County Magistrate Yang was transferred to Yunxiang County, and his eldest son, mother, and brothers all came with him. But Yang Shunqing's wife was unwilling to come, because Yunxiang County was not only far away, but also poor. So, Yang Shunqing and his wife divorced.

Today, Madam Shang came to matchmake for her niece.

When County Magistrate Yang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved: "Let's talk to Shunqing about this matter someday. It's been two years, and there's nothing he can do about it. After all, the child is still young."

Mrs. Yang said: "Don't worry, Master, I know what's going on. By the way, did the Master come to you just now to ask for something important?"

County Magistrate Yang said: "Today, the yamen runners at the city gate reported that General Qin is back, and I think we should visit the general's mansion tomorrow."

Mrs. Yang said: "I know what's going on, and I'll make arrangements."

County Magistrate Yang was discussing what gifts to prepare for the general's mansion tomorrow, and as the hostess of the general's mansion, Yang Haiyan didn't know that the male owner was back.

She walked around the county and then went back to the mansion. As soon as they returned to the general's mansion, Uncle Hong, the gatekeeper, said, "Hello, Madam. You are finally back. Did the man from your family come to see you? Did they meet you?"

Yang Haiyan was surprised: "No one has met you. Aunt Hong came to see you? Is there something wrong in this mansion?" Yunxiang County is not big, but it is not small either. It is indeed not certain that you can find someone even if you go looking for him.

Uncle Hong smiled and said, "It's a big deal. The master is back."

Yang Haiyan couldn't help but smile when she heard it: "Finally, you are back." As she said that, she quickly entered the gate.

Uncle Hong hurriedly said, "My Lord is back, but he is still in the city. He has not returned to the General's Mansion. Only Nanny Lian and the others have returned to the General's Mansion."

Yang Haiyan stopped and said, "Haven't you returned yet? How long has Nanny Lian been back?"

Uncle Hong said, "More than half an hour."

Yang Haiyan was stunned. It has been more than half an hour. Why hasn't Qin Fang returned to the mansion yet? "Then go to the city and take a look."
