"Brother Zhou, I will leave in the afternoon."

"Take care of yourself."

Zhou Jinyan suddenly felt reluctant, "Choose a guard and servant from the mansion. Bring more people. If you don't think it's convenient, you can buy it with money when you get there. I will leave a quarter of the Wang family's wealth for you. Enough for you."

Wu Jue nodded, turned around and took two steps, then suddenly turned around and said, "Brother Zhou, can I make another small request?"

"Go ahead."

For this queen who can control a country, Zhou Jinyan is not worried at all that she will not be able to govern a county.

Wu Jue's face turned reddish, "Can I hug you?"

Zhou Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Come on, for your great future, let's hug and celebrate."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to step forward, and just as he was about to hug him, he saw the girl in front of him, threw herself into his arms, hugged him fiercely, then turned around and left.

Zhou Jinyan touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

Like Gao Yang, Wu Zetian is not Zhou Jinyan's favorite woman.

To be precise, he doesn't even like that kind of strong woman.

Little birds like Li Lizhi and Du Yanran, or intimate big sisters like Yan Ruyu, are his favorites.

A strong woman, maybe one day she can surprise you......

Take back your mind.

Zhou Jinyan continued to select the list of officials.

During this period of time, people in Zhou Jinyan's house have expressed one after another that they want to be an official, maybe they can give it a try.

Zhou Jinyan agreed to everything, and if he couldn't do it, he would be replaced. If he could, it would be his own.

But compared with the large number of vacancies, the number of people is still much less.

First of all, there are no suitable people for the three county magistrates.

"Lang Jun, don't drive me to see you."

Niu Biejia's name is Niu Feng, and he was also from Chang'an before. He was in his 40s and was idled to Yazhou because he committed a crime in Chang'an.

At present, it is Zhou Jinyan's Bie Jia, who has no actual power except for his salary.

Zhou Jinyan feels pretty good about his subordinates, idle officials like Sima and Chang Shi.

"Let him in."

Not long after, Niu Feng walked in, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Niu Feng, I have met Governor Zhou."

"no."

Zhou Jinyan winked at Sheng Lianer, and Sheng Lianer hurriedly poured Niu Fengduan tea.

Niu Feng was not too polite, a person like him had long since had no desires, and he was open to everything.

After taking a few sips of boiling tea, Niu Feng said, "Recently, I heard that a lot of official positions have been vacant?"

"That's right, Mr. Niu also wants to try being a county magistrate?"

"Hehe, at my age, let's forget about it." Niu Feng waved his hand and said with a smile: "No matter how good the county magistrate is, he is not as beautiful as me."

The old urchin said, "What does Niu Lao mean?"

Niu Feng said with some embarrassment: "I used to study in Chang'an, and I have a friend who is a local. But because his family is poor and his temper is a bit more straightforward, he has been at home all the time. This time I heard that Governor Zhou can appoint and dismiss him on his own. As an official, I thought about how to apply for an official position for my friend?"

It turned out to be asking for the back door.

"No problem at all," Zhou Jinyan said with a smile on his face. "The only problem is, how upright is he? Will he be obedient?"

"Uh, this should be because I'm not used to seeing unhealthy tendencies." After a pause, he continued, "However, he praised Governor Zhou's thunderous tactics this time."

Zhou Jinyan thought for a while, "Well, let him come to see me. I'll see what kind of position I can give him. No matter what his character is, as long as he thinks of the people and obeys my orders, there will be no problem at all. "

Niu Feng cupped his hands and retreated.

"Locals have a sense of belonging to the local area, and this person may be useful."

Zhou Jinyan thought to himself, "If it is possible, if he recommends someone like him, the problem may be solved a lot."

In the past few days, because of the official affairs, Zhou Jinyan was so anxious that he almost wanted to set up an exam, and whoever passed the exam would be admitted.

Or a self-recommendation.

But if these spread to Chang'an, it will not be good news.

It is indeed a good time for Niu Feng to appear.

Finished business.

Zhou Jinyan stretched lazily.

Sheng Lian'er hurried forward, rubbing his shoulders and back carefully.

Zhou Jinyan glanced at her, then looked back.

There are quite a lot of women around him now.

When he was in Chang'an, the sisters Xingji and Yueji were brought into the room. Although they were not given names, everyone in the house knew that she was his woman.

Not to mention seaweed.

Only Sheng Lian'er, he didn't touch it.

Zhou Jinyan also found it strange that he hadn't even thought about this aspect.

"I've been bored for a few days, let's go for a walk."

Zhou Jinyan turned his head and smiled at Sheng Lian'er.

Chapter 558 Potatoes

"it is good."

The two were in tandem except for the Governor's Mansion.

It was winter.

Although there is thin sunshine outside, it is still very cold.

Much colder than Chang'an.

"Is it cold to sleep at night?" Zhou Jinyan had nothing to say.

"Ah, it's fine."

"If it's cold, get more charcoal, don't waste it."

Sheng Lian'er smiled and said: "Everyone in the house uses it, I didn't save it."

After a pause, she whispered: "Madam will give birth soon in a few months, and she has been running outside recently, won't you talk about it, sir?"

"I said it, but she didn't listen." Thinking of Changle, Zhou Jinyan felt full of warmth in his heart, "This girl also said to run more. She will have a healthy son in the future."

Sheng Lian'er clasped her hands together and whispered, "I hope Princess Changle's wish will come true."

"Actually, sons and daughters don't matter." Zhou Jinyan said indifferently.

After a pause, he continued, "Even if I don't have a son, if my daughter finds someone to marry at home in the future, can the incense in my Zhou Mansion be broken?"

Sheng Lian'er covered her lips and smiled delicately.

Yazhou is really remote, and there is nothing interesting to walk for half a day.

Zhou Jinyan thought about solving the official affairs as soon as possible, and devoted his energy to the great development of Yazhou.

Build more interesting things.

After turning around, Zhou Jinyan led Sheng Lian'er back.

After eating, watching Haizao, Du Yanran and Li Lizhi leave the palace, it was like Li Lizhi who had recovered her nature. The three of them were about to go out together when he grabbed the girl.

"Going out again."

The girl's lower abdomen has bulged slightly, her body is slender, even if she shows her bosom, she doesn't look too big.

Li Lizhi giggled, hugged his arm and said: "The restaurant will open tomorrow. I'll go out and have a look. In the future, at least I have a share of the credit."

Li Mengjiang and others couldn't help laughing.

She interjected, "Fifth Sister, this belongs to our family, and no one will snatch it from you."

"At least I feel a sense of accomplishment."

Li Lizhi pointed at Du Yanran and said, "Yanran is very capable and inspired me a lot. I think we women can go out and do some things if we think we can."

He pouted as he said, "I don't want you, Linchuan, to be able to manage the house in an orderly manner with peace of mind. It's better to go out and run around, and go west for fun."

Zhou Jinyan flicked her smooth forehead lightly, "You are pregnant, even if you don't want to rest, you should let the child rest, right?"

"well enough?"

Li Lizhi covered her head, "If the child is tired, I should be tired too, but I think it's normal."

The girls laughed again and again.

Li Lizhi looked puzzled.

Zhou Jinyan caressed his forehead, "You are not too young, why are you acting like a big sister?"

"Look, when you are so pregnant, who would go out every day?"

Li Lizhi curled her lips, "Okay, if you don't go out, then go out after a nap."

As he spoke, he pulled Haizao and Du Yanran and ran towards the backyard.

Zhou Jinyan shook his head.

Li Lizhi has little life experience, and seems to want to make up for the grievances she suffered before, and the more she lives, the more she goes back.

Although he likes it very much, he sometimes feels helpless.

This little guy is getting more and more disobedient.

"Husband, Zhuangyuan Building will open tomorrow." Li Mengjiang walked in front of him and said with a smile, "There are five tailor-made clothing stores in the county. Do you think we should open a newspaper office?"

"That's it."

Zhou Jinyan shook his head, "Yazhou is not Chang'an, and there are very few scholars. If you sell newspapers, who will you sell them to?"

Li Mengjiang nodded in agreement.

Zhou Jinyan pulled her aside and said, "We brought a lot of potatoes. If they can be popularized in Yazhou, there should be no problem with everyone's enough to eat."

"The key is, how can we keep our secret from being known."

Li Mengjiang knew Zhou Jinyan's thoughts well, and replied with a smile.

"I've thought about this too. If you plant it, you still can't let outsiders know about it, especially those in Tuyuhun and Tubo. Neither can those in other nearby counties."

Potatoes are the key supply when food is not enough in the future. Zhou Jinyan naturally wants to make a fortune silently.

Although it will leak out sooner or later, it will definitely not be now.

"We divided up a lot of land from local tyrants, and half of these lands are enough to grow potatoes."

Li Mengjiang nodded.

"People who farm the land must find a reliable person, pay more money, and let people watch, and don't leak the news."

Li Mengjiang said: "It's okay in Chang'an, the Zhuangyuan building has a large supply, but in Yandao County, I'm afraid that so many potatoes are planted, how will they be used?"

She understood Zhou Jinyan's idea, let those who have no food to eat eat potatoes.

But if you let them plant or sell potatoes to them, the final planting method will definitely be researched by the people and leaked out.

Without solving this problem, planting potatoes that are too large is obviously a waste.

"Yes, how about making it into dried potatoes?"

"Dried potatoes?" Li Mengjiang blinked, not knowing what new tricks her husband was going to come up with.
