Chapter 740: On the journey of the great road, the virtuous will live there, and the capable will live there.
On the first day of the first lunar month, Zhao Han, Zhao Ke and Shen Xingwang went to Lingzhou City, and the business matters were temporarily left to them.
Even the name of Lingzhou Branch of Tianxia Commercial Bank had to be changed. As for what to change it to, it was up to them and the four of them, He and Jin, to discuss it.
After Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun settled the matter in Wantian County, they had to go south to Kang'an City to choose a location to build their mansion.
"How beautiful is Shenjia Village? There are so many peach trees planted. When the peach blossoms bloom all over the fields in spring, it will be extremely beautiful. It is a pity that the palace cannot be built here." On the carriage, Shen Yue leaned on Ji Xun's arms and looked towards Ji Xun. Feelings of emotion at the distant villages.
"Look? Has Yu Yu forgotten the original intention of planting peach trees?" Ji Xunyu combed Shen Yu Yu's long black hair with his hands, his voice was soft and gentle, "Remember you said you wanted to build this place into a paradise and some kind of tourist attraction?" ?If you really build the palace here, then your goal will not be achieved. "
"That's true~~" Shen Yuyu blinked her almond-shaped eyes. Of course she didn't forget her original plan, but she was nostalgic and reluctant to leave her hometown.
Shen Yue was silent for a while and soon became cheerful again.
"After everything stabilizes, I will come back and build Shenjia Village into a beautiful tourist attraction, rebuild Yingxue Residence into an inn, and our old residence at the foot of the North Mountain can also be visited for a fee, the 'Old Residence of the Night King'~~ Hehe .'
"Look at your business skills~~" Ji Xun gently tapped Shen Yuyu's little head with a doting look on his face, "You can do whatever you want, the whole Lingzhou is yours.'
As he spoke, he soon arrived outside Wantian County.
The former magistrate of Wantian County bent the law for personal gain and was ordered by Prince Wei Yuande to frame Uncle Shen's family and was beheaded by Ji Xun. Now that the post of county magistrate was vacant, Ji Xun decided to stay in the county for a few days and choose a good official.
During the first lunar month, the city gate was deserted, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance from time to time, signaling that the new year was not yet over.
"Axun, look, does that person look familiar?" Shen Yuyu was admiring the snowy scene outside the window, and suddenly saw an old man carrying charcoal passing by.
Ji Xun hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, calling Shadow to stop the car.
"That's Master Li, do you remember?" Ji Xun said as he prepared to get out of the car, not forgetting to tell Shen Yuxi, "It's cold outside, just wait in the car."
"Yes." Shen Yuyu nodded, holding a warm hand stove in his hand, wrapped in two thick cloaks, and was held in Ji Xun's arms, making his face blush.
She looked at the thin figure carrying the burden, and it was indeed Master Li.
When she first traveled through time, she had been in contact with Master Li a lot because of Shen Xi's case. Master Li was born as a scholar and was very talented. Shen Yue also heard Uncle Bai mention him. His family was poor and had no money to go to Beijing to take the exam, so he went to the county to take the exam. Be a master.
In the beginning, whether it was the case of Ji Xun being imprisoned or the case of Shen Yuyu being wronged, Master Li tried to persuade Magistrate Lin to be cautious and investigate thoroughly, but he was scolded by Magistrate Lin, leaving him with nowhere to put his talents to use. .
Later, after Sun Mengmeng's father, Sun Deming, came to Wantian County, his situation improved greatly. Sun Deming even gave money privately to help him go to Beijing to take the exam. Unfortunately, his mother passed away before he could leave. Not long after he returned to Sun County for the funeral Ling Tiao left, but he didn't expect that he would now be making charcoal and selling it, which is also a pity.
Master Li saw a carriage stop, and an aristocratic young man got out of the cab. He didn't recognize who it was for a moment, and stared at it intently.
His body was covered in charcoal ash and he was in a miserable state, and his face was also dark, which made his eyes particularly clear, bright and lively.
"Master Li, how much does this load of charcoal cost?"
As soon as Ji Xun spoke, Master Li immediately recognized his voice, quickly put the charcoal basket on the ground, and knelt down in the snow.
"Your Highness the Night King? Is that you?'
"We are all old acquaintances. Master Li, there is no need to be polite. Get up quickly."
"Thank you, His Highness the Night King." Master Li stood up quickly, looking slightly excited. Although he heard that Lingzhou had become the Night King's fiefdom, he never dreamed that he would meet him here. He remembered that the Night King had just asked him how much charcoal cost. , hurriedly replied, "Don't mention anything about money or not. If Your Highness the Night King needs it, I will send it to you."
"I bought the charcoal, and I also want the man." Ji Xun looked at the weathered Master Li, with a smile in his eyes.
When the case involving Shen Xi was brought to the county by County Magistrate Lin, Mr. Li was sure that there was something fishy about the case. He tried his best to persuade Magistrate Lin to re-investigate, and was detained for several months by Magistrate Lin. Yue Yin, Ji Xun admired him very much at that time.
"Your Highness~~This, this~~" Master Li muttered, his eyes were red, and he was speechless for a long time.
"What? You refuse to do things for me?'
"No, no, no, of course not." Master Li hurriedly raised his hand, "How can a mere scholar from the common people be able to serve His Highness the Night King?'
"I never look at anything else when choosing a person, only ability, character, and virtue." Ji Xun said calmly, "I saw your character clearly when I was Li Orion. You are completely qualified to work for me. '
"Thank you for your promotion, His Highness the Night King." Master Li knelt down and kowtowed. Then he stood up, picked up the charcoal, and said cheerfully, "His Royal Highness, the Night King, wants the charcoal from others, but his subordinates will be disrespectful."
"Okay!" Ji Xun also smiled. He admired people with this kind of personality and the confidence that comes from the bones of talented people.
Of course, Ji Xun would not let the person he admired walk with a load. Instead, he sent someone to carry the charcoal to the second carriage, and asked A Qin and Shen Yuyu to ride in the same carriage, while he and Master Li walked into the city.
Along the way, Master Li also told us about his situation.
It turned out that when he returned to the county after attending his mother's funeral, he discovered that Sun Deming had been transferred and his position as master had been replaced by the new county magistrate.
When I was desperate, I copied books and wrote letters for others. Eventually I couldn't survive and was forced to return to the village to burn charcoal.
After hearing this, Ji Xun nodded silently and said solemnly to Master Li, "In the future, Wantian County will be in your hands."
"Being a county magistrate? I'm afraid it's not appropriate." No matter how talented the master is, he was scolded by the county magistrate before. Master Li has no confidence in his heart.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Ji Xun's tone was full of affirmation, "Even if you're not a Jinshi, No. 1 scholar, or No. 2, so what? The virtuous will live there, and the capable will live there.'
"Your Highness is wise~~" After listening to Ji Xun's words, Master Li felt as if he had met a close friend and was very excited. "Of course, I don't mean that you appreciate your subordinates and are wise, but your Highness's two words: 'Those who are virtuous live in the world. Among them, those who are capable live 'wisely'."
"Master, what do you think?" Ji Xun had seen Master Li's knowledge and humbly asked for advice.
Master Li then spoke respectfully and talked eloquently: "In the journey of the great road, the world is fair. We must select the worthy and capable, be trustworthy and cultivate harmony. In the journey of the great road, those who are able will live there~~
After hearing this, Ji Xun suddenly realized that Mr. Li is a capable person. Let him learn how to be an official in Wantian County first, and he will definitely be reused in the future.
Shen Yuyu watched Master Li and Ji Xun chatting happily in the carriage, and couldn't help but smile. Her husband was particularly forward-thinking and valued human rights, talents, and people's livelihood. It was a pity that he should not be the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty!
In this way, a noble Night King and a ragged charcoal-burning uncle chatted freely as if no one else was around.
After entering the county government office, they hadn't chatted enough. Shen Yue made tea for them, and the two continued chatting. Master Li had never met his talent, and now he finally met the Bole in his life. He wished he could tell all about his knowledge of governing the country and the world. Come out and let His Highness the Night King know.
The next day, a letter of appointment was issued, appointing Master Li Li Huai, who had been reduced to making charcoal, as the new magistrate of Wantian County.
Since then, the saying "On the road to the great road, the virtuous will live there, and the capable people will live there" has been spread, and even some talented people from other countries who have never met the talent have come here because of their fame. For a time, Lingzhou is full of talents~~
Of course, this is something.
Wantian County was later governed by Li Huai and became extremely wealthy. The annual income of a young man jumped from a few taels of silver to 20 or 30 taels~~ But these are all things for later.
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Shen Xingwang's family came to the county town, and Fengming Restaurant and Nichang Pavilion soon opened for business.
After having a reunion dinner at Fengming Restaurant, Shen Yuyu left the winery, pharmacy, etc. to Shen Yongping's brothers to take care of, and she was going to Kang'an City with Ji Xun.
"Daughter, please remember to take good care of yourself when you are out there, and bring more capable people around you~~" Aunt Zhou dragged Shen Yuyu's hand to wipe her tears, and then spoke earnestly to Bai Bai, who left with Shen Yuyu. Auntie, "I can only help take care of these businesses in Wantian County. You have to take care of our daughter for me~~'
"I will do it, sister-in-law Liu, don't worry." Aunt Bai patted the back of Aunt Zhou's hand to comfort her, "Young girl Shen, just leave it to me. Besides, it's not far. You'll be in Kang'an in a few days. Just go and visit when you have time. "
Shen Yue also answered with a smile.
"That's right, uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews and nieces will come to Kang'an City to play together when the Prince's Palace is built at night."
After saying goodbye, several carriages left Fengming Restaurant and headed for the south gate.
Before they had gone far, Shen Lingling caught up with her carriage from behind.
When she was walking side by side with Shen Yuyu and Ji Xun's carriage, Shen Lingling raised the curtain of the carriage and said anxiously: "His Royal Highness the Night King, Princess Ye, please take the women of the country with you to Kang'an City. If you leave me in Shenjia Village, I'm afraid He will die within a few days."
