The best county magistrate

The next day, the sun rises three poles.

The executioner Zhang Li came to report that the thief caught yesterday had committed suicide by taking poison.

Zhang Biao and Xiao Ba searched for the thief's accomplices in Qingshui County all night but failed to find them.

In order to find out who sent him to kill him, Yang Xuanchen almost broke his head.

Xie Tianhua of the Xie family and Song Guangxin, the Minister of Rites, were all suspects.

Now the clue has been cut off, how embarrassing it is for me.

Just when Yang Xuanchen was depressed, Zhang Quandan stumbled into the back hall.

"Old...Master! Good news!"

After asking Zhang Quandan to sit down and rest, Yang Xuanchen casually took out the charcoal pen and pamphlet, "Quandan, seeing how anxious you are, what's the good news?"

"Sir, the cement you mentioned before! It's made of cement!"

Wow, these craftsmen are awesome.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, just by talking about the principles of making cement in the previous life, those guys fiddled with cement.

"Let's go, let's drink chicken feather water, take me to see the cement!"

Holding Zhang Quandan's lapel and calling Zhou Miaomiao, the three of them rushed to the brick kiln under the name of Jian'anfang.

Along the way, the smile never faded from Yang Xuanchen's face.

If cement is successfully developed, it will be a step-change in progress.

The houses under construction in the county can completely use red bricks and cement to replace the original wooden structures. The dirt roads in the 11th village of Qingshui County can be paved with bright cement roads.

In the brick kiln factory, three unshaven young men were standing around a wall in fear.

"Knock again!"

"You'd better do it, my hands are sore."

The two people talking were Zhang Quan Dan’s younger brothers, one was named Zhang Panfeng and the other was named Zhang Lu Dan.

The Zhang family was originally a craftsman from Xintang Township. The eldest son, Quan Dan, inherited the carpentry skills of his father. The second son, Panfeng, learned blacksmithing from the Chen family in the early years.

Lao San Lu Dan is a wonderful man. He loved playing with fire since he was a child. The fire kilns in major factories in the county were renovated by this boy.

Standing behind the Zhang brothers is a young man with thick arms, his name is Wang Tieniu.

He pulled the two of them apart, picked up the hammer and started dancing.

Bang, bang, bang!

After the three hammers were settled, the wall in front of him remained motionless, but some of the gray-black material on the wall, like stone, was scattered.

"Pan Feng, Braised Egg, it seems we are done!"

"As the master said, this thing is much stronger than glutinous rice paste."

Wang Tieniu threw down the hammer, his face beaming with joy, "Three of our brothers will be rewarded today, and one of us will leave the Fenglou tonight!"

Brothers Zhang Panfeng and Zhang Ludan had lewd smiles on their faces when he mentioned them.

I haven't been to Youfenglou for a while, and the thing in my crotch is a little itchy.

"Oh, you brothers are going to Youfeng Tower tonight? Why don't you call me?" Yang Xuanchen stepped through the door with a teasing smile.

The three of them caught a glimpse of Zhou Miaomiao with a dark face, and put on awkward smiles, "Hello, sir!"

Yang Xuanchen felt the soft flesh on his waist being twisted 360 degrees and let out a long hiss.

"Do you think about that that much? Is that really that interesting?" Zhou Miaomiao snorted.

When asked, the men present said in unison: "Of course!"

But Zhou Miaomiao was so angry that she hooked one of Yang Xuanchen's arms. If it weren't for the chest strap, the murder weapon would have stabbed him to death.

"They can go, but you are not allowed to go!"

Everyone suppressed their laughter and winked, but Yang Xuanchen was not angry to death.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, where is the cement? Look at the cement first!"

The three of them pointed to a wall behind them in unison, "Sir, this is the wall built with the cement you mentioned."

"Tie Niu tried it with us just now. It couldn't be broken with a hammer. It was too strong."

He came closer and touched the roughness on the wall with his hands. Yang Xuanchen's eyes lit up instantly.

This is the feeling. I can’t say it’s exactly the same as in the previous life, but at least the feeling is almost the same.

Then, the four of them put their arms around each other and laughed, just like brothers who went to a brothel together.

"There is Fenglou tonight, you all get it, this cement is good stuff, good stuff!"

"The names of you three brothers will be remembered forever!"

Yang Xuanchen lifted the three brothers to the sky, but Zhang Quandan poured a basin of cold water on them, "You three, don't get carried away. Without the advice of the master, how could you have managed this thing?"

"Why don't you thank me soon, sir!"

Yang Xuanchen waved his hand and ordered: "Go ahead and call Zhu Cheng and ask him to bring one thousand five hundred taels of silver. Panfeng, Lu Dan, and Tieniu each have five hundred taels."

Not long after, the three people who had received the reward introduced the cement production process and products to Yang Xuanchen one by one.

"Zhu Cheng, Zhang Quandan, I ordered you two to summon three teams and six rooms to organize a team of people to mine!"

"According to Panfeng, Ludan, and Tieniu's advice, dig out all the limestone in Mang Mountain and give it to them."

"A factory was built in the south of the city near Mangshan Mountain. The factory buildings are all made of red bricks and cement. Zhang Quandan supervised the construction."

"Zhu Cheng is responsible for all materials, manpower, and monthly payment."

"I want to see the new factory completed before spring!"

"Whether you can live in a red brick house that is warm in winter and cool in summer depends on your ability."

After Yang Xuanchen explained some details, he and Zhou Miaomiao went to the street.

Before he had taken a few steps, a big man in black walked over quickly. Zhou Miaomiao quickly stepped forward and blocked Yang Xuanchen behind him.

The big man's eyes were stern, and he bowed his head and said, "Master Yang, my young master invites you!"

Yang Xuanchen glanced at Zhou Miaomiao calmly, "Hey, you see, I didn't take the initiative to go to Youfeng Tower."

"Brother, I'm going to talk about serious business. You should go back first."

His words were met with a stubborn look, "Humph, I'll take you to the door."

The three of them walked slowly and soon arrived at Youfeng Tower.

Yang Xuanchen entered through the back door, and as soon as he entered, he was welcomed into the private room on the second floor.

Shen Qingyun, who had been waiting for him for a long time, pushed away the red waiter sitting on his lap, picked up the silk cloth on the table and wiped his hands.

Smiling, he stood up and said, "Hahaha, Mr. Yang, there are times when you are far away and there are times when you are far away."

Yang Xuanchen glanced at the woman who was walking out the door softly, and the corners of his mouth curved, "Young Master Shen hasn't been here for a long time. Now he doesn't regard the girl in his building as a human being."

Shen Qingyun curled his lips, didn't all these girls learn from you, but these girls don't seem to be as trembling as Liu Yan'er. Could it be that his fingering is not good?

Of course the fingering is bad. My fingering was taught by Mr. Kato. What kind of fingering is yours? Can you compare with me? Yang Xuanchen cursed in his heart.

The two people's eyes met, and they understood each other tacitly, and laughed at the same time.

"Master Yang, after half a year, that person is very happy."

"The Youfeng Building in Qingshui County was originally a loss-making business, but unexpectedly, it has made a lot of money in recent months."

"And the share promised by your Excellency is not less than one cent. The person asked me to ask, is there any other business that can be done?"

Shen Qingyun's words attracted Yang Xuanchen's great attention, but he remained calm on his face.

"I have long wanted to ask, who is the person Mr. Shen is talking about?"

"If we want to put cooperation on the bright side, it would be difficult to use Mr. Shen's name. After all, the words "Liangshan bandits and bandits" will separate you and me..."

With a snap, the folding fan was opened by Shen Qingyun, but he did not fan it. "Don't worry, sir. The Lord has said that from now on, there will be no Liangshan, only one hundred and eighty Qingshui County citizens!"

"Haha, then I wish us a happy cooperation." Yang Xuanchen raised his tea cup and touched it with Shen Qingyun.

He didn't ask who it was, and he didn't want to guess.

As the population of Qingshui County grows, the good and the bad are mixed, and he is in urgent need of an underground force to stabilize the undercurrents underneath.

However, if you form your own force, you will inevitably be caught. If there is a ready-made force to settle in, it will be a good choice.

This is like someone giving me a pillow just as I was about to fall asleep.

"Mr. Shen, bleaching is a process. I hope you won't be eager for quick success. I believe you all understand that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Shen Qingyun smiled and nodded, then changed the topic, "Master Yang, do you have any clues about yesterday's assassin?"
