The best county magistrate

A few days later, Park In-bo returned to Huajing City early.

Deep in the An family compound, an old man and a young man sat opposite each other. The young man was the fourth prince Park In-bo, and the older man was the head of the An family, An Yuzhen.

There was no trace of cynicism or laxity in Park In-bo's expression anymore; instead, there was a sharp look in his eyes and an air of looking down on the world.

He picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip, then an intoxicated look appeared on his face.

"Grandpa, the smell of Cuiyun Xianxia is much more fragrant than Zixiao Xiancui. You should like it, right?"

An Yuzhen didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze behind Park In-bo.

Looking at the servants jogging towards him from afar, a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

"Hoo, hoo, sir, General Cui has returned to Huajing City, and General Jin and General Li are back as well."

An Yuzhen waved his hand to send the visitor away. His thick eyebrows twitched and he seemed to be thinking about something.

Park In-bo's heart skipped a beat. It was understandable that General Jin and General Li returned to Huajing City.

But why did General Cui come back from the east? Is the war in Dongliu Kingdom over?

"Grandpa, will something big happen when the three generals return to Beijing?" Park In-fu asked the question in his mind.

An Yuzhen glanced at him calmly and said, "Jin and Li have returned from Haiyang Pass. I believe you know the reason."

"It's surprising that Cui Zhimin, who went to the Dongliu Kingdom, came back so quickly."

Then he changed the subject and his tone became much colder, "Master Ren, how are you arranging things at General Han's Mansion?"

Park In-bo was a little flustered, "Grandpa, General Han has been settled."

"We sent a lot of food, clothing, and daily necessities, and countless gold, silver, and jewelry..."

"These are not enough. You should give orders to give away more land in Yanzhou." An Yuzhen suddenly interrupted him.

Park In-fu was a little confused about this. He looked up at his grandfather who had a calm face. He did not ask the questions in his heart, but just said "yes" heavily.

In his eyes, his uncle An Yuzhen is an omnipotent man who is well versed in political intrigue.

From childhood to adulthood, Park In-bo has never seen any mistakes in his decision-making.

Under his leadership, the An family became one of the top families in the Liao Dynasty in just over a decade.

Therefore, Park In-bo would carry out his grandfather's orders without question, even if he had doubts in his heart.

He stood up and bowed to An Yuzhen. He wanted to leave but was reluctant to do so. After hesitating for a few moments, he turned around and took his leave.

How could An Yuzhen not see that his grandson still had something to say.

However, he is currently unable to make any judgment on the matter of Jucaixuan, so he cannot give any more advice.

Because of the model of Jucaixuan bank, neither he nor the retainers of the An family who were well versed in business had yet to understand it.

If you rashly get involved and it turns out to be a scam, the An family may suffer a huge loss.

It would be better to let the prince and his party operate first. If it is a profitable business, I have countless ways to ruin them.

If you don't make money but lose money, then that's just what you want, which is great.

Thinking of this, An Yuzhen shouted to Park In-bo who was about to walk out of the yard.

"Master Ren, you must remember that General Han died because of you. It is more important to settle his family!"

Park In-bo took An Yuzhen's reminder to heart.

Since grandpa said this matter is important, I will naturally take care of it first and deal with other things later.

On the other hand, Park In-jae, who was on his way back to the capital, couldn't help but show a strange look on his face when he learned the news that the three generals had returned to the capital.

It seems that Master Pu Guochang did not disappoint him.

The four generals Cui, Li, Jin and Han are of the same blood. Now that Han Shangwu is dead, the other three will naturally seek justice for him.

The three generals are returning to Huajing at this critical juncture, so Park In-bo will have to face the entanglement of the three for a period of time, and he will have no time to interfere with his and Yang Xuanchen's development of Jucaixuan.

Thinking of this, Park In Jae couldn't help but laugh out loud, and then he shouted outside the carriage.

"Come on, hurry up and deliver these three letters to the three generals."

After the people left, Park In Jae looked deeply at the south and murmured, "Yang Xuanchen, I hope you won't make me wait too long."

At the same time, Yang Xuanchen, who was teaching the eldest prince Zhao Yanli, sneezed.

"Damn it, who cares about me?"

Seeing Zhao Yanli laughing secretly, Yang Xuanchen threw the book in his hand directly towards him.

With a snap, he was hit right on the head.

Wow, no wonder the teacher likes to throw chalk heads and blackboard erasers, it turns out it feels pretty good to hit the target.

Yang Xuanchen laughed inwardly but his expression did not change. "Forget it, forget it. It's better to go out for a walk than to stay in the palace and study hard."

"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Yanli, why not start your journey from Shangjing City?"

"I will help you get familiar with the affairs of Tongbao Temple in the next two months."

"I will go to Huajing City in early July..."

"Teacher, why don't you talk to our father and ask him to take me with you when you go to Huajing City?" Zhao Yanli asked excitedly.

After a loud thump, Yang Xuanchen said in a displeased voice, "I would like to, but your identity is too special, so you'd better stay in Shangjing City."

"There are still a lot of messes here that have not been resolved. Tongbao Temple cannot do without you."

The words "Tongbao Temple can't do without you" made Zhao Yanli excited.

He stood up excitedly, with a proud smile on his face, "Teacher, have you discovered my ability too?"

Then he imitated the action that Yang Xuanchen usually used when he was pretending to be cool, with his hands behind his back and his head raised at a 45-degree angle to look up at the sky.

“Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. How beautiful are the young people of Dayan, who will never grow old! How strong are the young people of Dayan, who will never be bounded by the country!”

Zhao Yanli hadn't been pretending for long before Yang Xuanchen grabbed his ear and took him out of Wenhua Palace.

"Teacher, teacher, where are we going?"

"Nan Ya!"

"What are you going to do in Nan Ya?"

"Looking for Jiang Li!"

"What do you want to see Jiang Li for?"

Bang, bang, boom, snap...

"It hurts, it hurts, stop hitting me, is it okay if I don't ask any more questions?"

After being beaten, the voices begging for mercy coming from the carriage made Yang Zhen shake his head. His eldest prince's EQ was as low as ever.

In the East Flower Hall of the Southern Courtyard.

Yang Xuanchen, Zhao Yanli and Jiang Li sat around the table, with a servant behind each of them fanning them to cool them down.

"Sir Jiang, this is the imperial edict." Yang Xuanchen handed Jiang Li a bright yellow brocade scroll and continued, "The Five Cities Military Command needs to be established as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty said that the Wucheng Bingma Division will cooperate with Tongbao Temple to improve the business environment in the capital."

"Your Majesty also said that we will start with the pilot project in Shangjing City, and if the effect is good, we will promote it to the entire Da Yan."

"By then, Lord Jiang will hopefully be one step closer."

Zhao Yanli standing by was like a curious baby, his eyes wandering between Yang Xuanchen and Jiang Li, trying to see something from their faces.

In addition to the six ministries and nine temples, there is already a Tongbao Temple. What does it mean to have another Wucheng Bingmasi now?

"Teacher, what is the purpose of this newly established military department?"

"Urban management!"

“What is urban management?”

"Urban management and comprehensive administrative law enforcement!"

Zhao Yanli seemed to be thinking about what he said, and then he shouted, "Teacher, I understand!"

"Tongbao Temple is what you call the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and Wucheng Bingmasi is what you often call the Urban Management Bureau. When the Urban Management Bureau and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau are combined, we will be invincible!"

Jiang Li, who was standing aside, felt a little uneasy at the moment.

The Northern and Southern Yamen already have certain administrative and law enforcement powers. If there is another Five Cities Military Division, the power will be dispersed and people will be even more difficult to manage.

Seeing that he had some concerns and doubts, Yang Xuanchen explained, "In principle, the Wucheng Bingma Division is under the jurisdiction of the Beijing government office, and its management is still managed by Lord Jiang."

"It's just that the people in Bingmasi don't participate in catching criminals or solving cases. They are only responsible for managing the city's appearance, market order, business environment, etc."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, having roughly understood the work content of the Five Cities Army, also known as the Urban Management Department.

In the past, these things in Shangjing City were managed by the people and merchants themselves. Not only were the markets dirty and messy, but there were also criminal gangs involved.

It has always been a headache to go to the government office in the capital. If I intervene, I have no legitimate reason to do so. If I don't intervene, I will be criticized again.

Now that he has an official title, Jiang Li naturally becomes more motivated.

"Your Highness, Lord Xiao Yang, don't worry. The Five Cities Military Department will recruit all the necessary runners in the near future!" Jiang Li promised, patting his chest.
