The boss of the end of the world travels through ancient times to pamper his little husband

As for Li Shao, after arranging matters at home, he planned to set out to inspect his fiefdom.

According to the rules and procedures for the first inspection of the fiefdom by the newly-appointed Marquis of Jing State, in addition to staff, personal guards and retainers who are proficient in finance and various professional knowledge, he must also bring a guard of honor.

Li Shao really didn't want to make such a big fuss, but inspecting the fiefdom was not only his personal act, but also had strong national symbolic significance.

This can show the prosperity and strength of Jing State to the people, as well as the emperor's favor to his meritorious officials.

In Jing State, the marquis, as an aristocratic class, usually recruits some talented people as retainers to serve them and assist them in handling government affairs, collecting taxes, etc.

Li Shao naturally followed the rules and selected some retainers for himself. What this world, or rather the capital city lacks the least, are so-called talented people who have abilities but are unsuccessful.

As soon as the news that Marquis Zhongyong wanted to recruit retainers and aides spread, many people volunteered.

In addition, Li Shao has made many good friends in the capital over the years, and they have recommended some talented, loyal and reliable people to Li Shao.

Li Shao selected some people with good character and ability from among them, and planned to place some of them in fiefdoms to supervise local officials.

After the departure time was set, Yue Zhang, the county magistrate of Anyang County, naturally got the news quickly.

He immediately ordered people to speed up preparations for welcoming Li Shao. All the streets in Anyang County had to be cleaned spotlessly, and all the dilapidated and old places had to be renovated.

The main streets were also hung with red lanterns, flags and banners with historical achievements and welcoming messages.

A courtyard was carefully prepared for Li Shao to stay in the county government office. Every room in the courtyard was filled with gorgeous furniture, exquisite porcelain and precious calligraphy and paintings.

At the same time, the Marquis inspected the fiefdom to check the performance of local officials, the execution of government orders, economic conditions and people's livelihood.

A group of officials organized all the information on the county's household registration, taxes, public security, etc. beautifully for Li Shao to review.

He also thought of Li Shao's visit. If he suddenly felt like doing something to understand the people's sentiments and serve them, it would be bad if they were found out. So he made some arrangements in advance.

Especially Yue Zhang, he did every thing and every detail of the preparation himself, taking care of everything, for he was afraid that he would not do well enough and Li Shao would fire him.

Other officials, both big and small, also had their own little thoughts and calculations. Anyang County was Li Shao's fiefdom, but the emperor was still the real owner and the decision maker.

However, Li Shao could be considered half a master to a large extent. It was not an exaggeration to say that he could dominate the future careers of these minor officials, and even their lives and property.

If they could take advantage of this opportunity to hook up with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, they would surely rise to great heights and enjoy wealth and glory in the future. Instead, they are secretly rubbing their hands in anticipation of showing themselves.

……

When the news that Li Shao was conferred the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery reached Zhaojia Village, the entire village seemed to be in an uproar.

However, this time the news was not spread by anyone in the town who saw the notice, nor was it spread by the Zhao family.

Father Zhao felt that although it was a great thing, it would be better not to talk nonsense outside before the notice came out.

Meanwhile, Zhao's mother was still at home digesting the fact that she had become the Marquis's mother-in-law, and miraculously, no one in the family told anyone about it.

It was not until Yue Zhang sent people to Zhaojia Village to post notices and build a memorial archway that the whole village learned of the good news.

The construction of the memorial archway in Zhaojia Village was partly the emperor's order and partly Yue Zhang's desire to please Li Shao.

Jing Xiangting's imperial edict stated that a memorial archway should be built for Li Shao in his fiefdom, on which should be engraved words of praise for Li Shao and the content of his reward to honor his merits.

It also shows the emperor's favor and commendation to meritorious officials, allowing the people to see the emperor's attention to meritorious officials, thereby enhancing the people's awe and loyalty to the imperial power and the court.

However, it did not specify where to build it or how many archways to build. Yue Zhang planned to build a memorial archway in the county center, in the center of each town in the county, and at the entrance of Zhaojia Village.

Although Li Shao was an outsider who settled in Zhaojia Village, his household registration was in Zhaojia Village and he married Zhao Ye, so he could be considered a native of Zhaojia Village.

Therefore, ever since he passed the military examination and entered the officialdom and was gradually promoted, the local government has taken good care of Zhaojia Village.

This kind of care continued even more after Li Shao went to war for the country and won a series of victories. The government appropriately reduced some of the taxes and corvee labor in Zhaojia Village.

The road from the village to the town is wide and flat. As the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. The flat road facilitates the villagers' travel and the transportation of goods.

Li Shao opened a winery in the village. Due to the high quality of the wine and his status, no matter how much he tried to expand production, the demand could not keep up with the supply.

Unable to handle the work, Sun Liucai wrote a letter to Li Shao and, after obtaining his consent, recruited a number of people from the village to work in the winery, and the scale of the winery continued to expand.

At this time, Li Shao naturally no longer had to worry that anyone working in the winery would dare to leak the wine recipe.

In addition to recruiting villagers to work in the winery, almost all of the various grains produced in Zhaojia Village each year are supplied to Li Shao's winery as raw materials for brewing wine.

The grain they grow no longer has to be transported to the town, or have its price cut by unscrupulous grain merchants. Zhaojia Village has now become a wealthy village known far and wide in the surrounding area.

In the hearts of the villagers of Zhaojia Village, Li Shao is not only a great hero of the entire Jing Kingdom, but also their breadwinner and god of wealth.

This is also the reason why Zhao's mother acts so "noble" and brags about it every day, and why everyone still surrounds her and praises her.

After all, she is Li Shao's mother-in-law. Everyone knows that Li Shao is an orphan, and Zhao Ye, his husband, is the closest person to him in this world.

Moreover, before Li Shao and his wife went to the capital, when they lived in the village, they saw and remembered how much Li Shao loved Zhao Ye.

He flattered Zhao's mother just to please Zhao Ye and Li Shao. It was because she was capable and gave birth to a very capable brother.

Because of Zhao Ye, the phenomenon of favoring boys over girls and boys over boys in Zhaojia Village and many surrounding places has been "improved" to some extent.

Although the starting points and motives of those parents are extremely impure, they fantasize that their daughters or boys will be able to find a capable man when they grow up and bring them back to their parents' home in the future.

But it must be said that this allowed many girls and boys to spend a childhood that was not so unloved.

After learning the great news that Li Shao was conferred the title of Marquis, all the villagers ran to the Zhao family to congratulate him, and praised Li Shao and Zhao Ye to the highest heavens.

When the craftsmen were building the archway, the village chief organized the villagers to help. The villagers were not at all unhappy about it and felt that this was also the glory of their village.
