Shi Qingluo’s description makes people yearn for it.
Xi Rui smiled and said: “If we can turn this county into a rich county, it will be a great sense of accomplishment.”
“Qingluo, count me in, I’ll do it too.”
His grandfather said that if he didn’t do anything on the northern border, he couldn’t go back.
He couldn’t return to the capital in a short time, so he better do something with Shi Qingluo and her husband.
This was something he had never tried since he was born, and it sounded interesting.
Liang Youxiao also smiled and said: “Don’t forget me.”
“By the way, you open a workshop to compete with the people for profit, but I don’t count it, right?”
“Why don’t I open two workshops here and try it?”
Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “This is a good idea! Then let Old Xiao help you with the back door.”
For a backward place to develop, it was necessary to attract investment, and it was also right to give preferential policies.
Liang Youxiao, a big household, was the target of her husband.
Unexpectedly, she had just imagined it, but she could get a rich man for her husband. She had to ask him to serve her well at night. Hehe.
Xi Rong also smiled and said: “Why don’t I open a rouge shop here?”
“But I don’t know if it can be sold. People here don’t look like they can afford it. Merchants from other places can buy it locally.”
Shi Qingluo smiled and said: “We don’t target merchants from Daliang, we can target merchants from the Western Regions, Persia, and Dashi.”
“Our fine powder, lipstick, and perfume are not available in these places. They will be interested.”
Xi Rong nodded: “That’s right, I will also open a rouge workshop to sell these.”
In the past, they bought exotic items from the Western Regions and other places at high prices, but now they would let those merchants take their things back to sell.
Hearing what the two said, Xi Rui couldn’t sit still: “What kind of workshop should I open?”
He brought tens of thousands of taels of silver with him this time, which was more than enough to open a workshop.
“Qingluo, help me come up with an idea, and I will give you a share of my workshop.”
Shi Qingluo didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “Don’t worry, let’s learn more about Heyang County first, and see what special products there are, then decide what to do.”
It would be better to adapt to local conditions.
Xi Rui was rarely motivated: “Okay, let’s go and learn about it in the next few days.”
Liang Youxiao was originally interested in business and had always wanted to expand his business territory.
He suddenly felt that now was an opportunity: “Yes, do it!”
In the next two days, Xiao Hanzheng went to the county government to look through the account books for the past year, while Shi Qingluo and the others wandered around the county and took a carriage to several nearby villages and towns.
Then, when they came back, they went to the county government to call Xiao Hanzheng back to the inn together.
Suddenly found that there was a group of people in the inn.
It was Fei Yuzhe who had been playing together before.
Fei Yuzhe looked tired. It was originally more than a month’s journey, but he took more than 20 days to arrive on horseback with his guards and servants.
Liang Youxiao was stunned: “Old Fei, why are you here?”
Fei Yuzhe laughed and said: “Nonsense, you all came here, how can I not come?”
His grandfather arranged an official position for him in the Ministry of Households. He worked there for more than half a month, but he was not satisfied.
Especially after Xiao Hanzheng took Liang Youxiao and others away, he felt that the capital was suddenly boring.
So he went to ask his grandfather, resigned from the Ministry of Households, and brought people to the northern border to join Xiao Hanzheng.
Liang Youxiao walked over and hit Fei Yuzhe with his hand: “You are a good brother.”
Xi Rui also smiled and hugged Fei Yuzhe’s neck: “Old Fei, you are right.”
“Let’s do a great thing here together and go back to blind the eyes of those who look down on us in the capital.”
Shi Qingluo smiled and stepped forward: “Old Fei, welcome!”
Xiao Hanzheng saw the smile in Fei Yuzhe’s eyes deepen: “Old Fei, you came at the right time.”
Xiao Dalang’s communication skills were okay, but he was a bit bad at handling official business.
Others in the county government were also idling.
The previous chief clerk was the former county magistrate’s man and was taken to the prison by Xiao Dalang.
Xiao Hanzheng was still worried that no one could help him, and he couldn’t handle official business by himself.
Unexpectedly, Fei Yuzhe came.
Seeing everyone’s pleasant welcome, Fei Yuzhe’s tired face was now gone: “Okay, let’s do something together, brothers.”
“Go back and slap the faces of those who laughed at us.”
For some reason, he always felt that coming here to join Xiao Hanzheng was more promising than staying in the Ministry of Households.
His cousins, and even his uncles, thought he was crazy, and even kept persuading him.
But he was still determined and didn’t waver. Fortunately, his grandfather supported him in the end, otherwise, it would be difficult to come.
Before he came to the Northern Border, many people laughed at them.
He was holding his breath now and hoped to slap those people in the face after he went back.
“Those faces must be slapped.”
Liang Youxiao and Fei Yuzhe had the best relationship, so after sitting down, he smiled and said: “We have been discussing doing things these 2 days.”
He told them about opening a workshop.
Fei Yuzhe shook his head: “I have no interest in opening a workshop.”
He has never been interested in these things.
Xiao Hanzheng invited with a smile: “The county government is still short of a chief clerk, I think you will be interested.”
Sure enough, Fei Yuzhe chuckled and said: “It seems that Old Xiao still understands me.”
He came here to join Xiao Hanzheng, and at the same time wanted to exercise his abilities.
The chief clerk of the county government was a good starting point.
The chief clerk was a ninth-rank official. Although it was not as high as his eighth-rank official in the Ministry of Households, it was easier to achieve results and rise.
Thinking of this, he also became motivated.
Liang Youxiao paid the innkeeper to buy meat and vegetables, and they would have a good drink in the evening.
Several people exchanged cups in the inn in a foreign land, discussing how to make a big move, and each of them seemed to be full of energy.

At the North City Deputy Governor’s Mansion.
The people left by Ge Chunru’s biological father got a message, so they asked the maid to pass it on to her.
When Ge Chunru heard that her brother not only married an old woman in the mine, but that woman was also Shi Qingluo’s mother, she looked unbelievable.
“Is this just a rumor from someone else?” She didn’t want to believe it was true.
She had recently been asking around for girls from local noble families in Beicheng, thinking that she would find a good marriage for her brother after she brought him back from the mining area.
When she asked someone to bring silver to her brother, she also wrote this in the letter.
But why did such news come? Her brother couldn’t marry Mrs. Niu.
The maid replied cautiously: “Madam, this matter has been verified. The young master married Mrs. Niu in the mine.”
Ge Chunru was so angry that her eyes turned black, and she almost fainted.
When she recovered, she was so angry that she smashed the teacup in her hand heavily on the ground: “It must be that shameless bitch Mrs. Niu who deceived Chunyi.”
“I’m going to find Xiao Yuanshi.”
No, she wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen. She would go to the mine immediately to bring her brother out.
