Although it was not far to Changxian County and there was a cement road along the way, it still required a lot of preparation after taking office. Ning Daguang began to pack his luggage after receiving the imperial edict, and was ready to say goodbye to Village Chief Ning and the others a day later.

Village Chief Ning was both happy and worried, "We can still help take care of you in Taixi County. You have no acquaintances there in Chang County. You have to pay attention to everything by yourself. Be more careful along the way. If you don't understand anything, write it down." Letter to Evergreen."

Ning Daguang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Grandpa Ning, I still have many classmates there. When the time comes, they will help me make decisions. No one will ask."

His classmate and friend, Zhou Yuancheng, who helped him find out the situation there, was also promoted this time. Like him, he ended his internship early and stayed in Chang County to manage the local area.

In fact, comparing the abilities of the two, Zhou Yuancheng was superior, but Ning Changrong also had to take care of his own people, so the benefits fell on Ning Daguang. At the same time, Zhou Yuancheng's contribution was not forgotten. Ning Daguang became the county magistrate. The other party also served as the county magistrate of Chang County and was considered the second in command.

The two are classmates and good friends, so they can help each other.

On the way Ning Daguang went to Chang County, Mrs. Cheng also got the news that Ning Daguang was an official.

Early in the morning, Wang Xiujuan brought Ning Qingxi over to announce the good news.

Mrs. Cheng and her family were all stunned in place after hearing this.

They knew that Ning Daguang could become an official in the school he attended, and they went out this time to prepare for becoming an official. However, they did not expect to become an official so soon. The surprise came so suddenly, and they had an unreal sense of trance.

"This? You're going to be an official now?" Mrs. Cheng murmured to herself.

"Then our family will be a family of officials from now on?" Ning Xiaoniu's wife asked.

"Is my son going to be successful?" Ning Daniu's daughter-in-law has always been the one who makes the most decisions in the family. She is calm and reliable. At this time, she couldn't help but tremble all over and her eyes filled with tears.

This time, Mrs. Cheng was the first to react, and hurriedly called the two of them to sit down at home, where tea and cakes were served.

"What's going on? Didn't you say that you have to study for a while before you can fill the position?" Although she didn't understand these things, she also knew that she wouldn't be able to become an official so soon, which made Mrs. Cheng feel a little uneasy.

Wang Xiujuan comforted him: "This matter is actually because Daguang has made a meritorious service some time ago. Your Majesty, for the sake of his meritorious service, allowed him to end his internship period early."

"What achievements have you made?" Mrs. Cheng asked worriedly.

How can such a great contribution be given to one and a half people?I'm afraid there are dangers she doesn't know about.

Wang Xiujuan knew that if she didn't speak clearly, Mrs. Cheng might make second thoughts, so she simply spoke directly to reassure her.

“Didn’t a corrupt official in Youchang County be executed some time ago?”

Wang Xiujuan briefly explained the matter and downplayed the danger.

After hearing this, Mrs. Cheng couldn't help but feel her fingertips getting cold.

She held her eldest daughter-in-law's sleeve tightly with her hand, "Daguang him, is he okay?"

Mrs. Cheng's eldest daughter-in-law also looked at Wang Xiujuan closely.

"What can happen?" Wang Xiujuan said pretending to be relaxed, "Da Guang has been staying in Taixi County with our people taking care of him. How could something happen to Da Guang?"

Mrs. Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's okay. It's okay."

A few days later, Ning Daniu, who was far away in Jiaozhou, also received a letter from Ning Changrong.

The place in Jiaozhou was extremely hot. When Ning Daniu came here, his whole body turned dark.

After reading the letter, he grinned. When the people next to him saw it, they couldn't help asking: "What's going on? Are you so happy that your wife has given birth again?" "Go, go, I'm not at home. I Where will my daughter-in-law be born?" Ning Daniu also cared, laughing and scolding: "It's my son, he has become the county magistrate." The corners of his mouth rose.

The other party was surprised: "Really or not?! Can a son of yours who is a big boss still be an official?"

Ning Daniu said proudly: "You know nothing, my son is very smart."

The other party was a little envious, "No, your family has such a happy event. You have to treat everyone to dinner today so that we can share in the joy."

"No problem! Let's go!" Ning Daniu waved his hand and said boldly.

He originally followed Ma Honglin as a personal guard, but gradually Ma Honglin watched him grow up and let him lead a team of people by himself. Now, with his own ability, he has managed a team of several thousand people by himself. General.

The people under his command who were originally dissatisfied were all defeated by him one by one.

After the capture of Jiaozhou, the area was not that stable. In addition to the remnants of the previous dynasty who continued to revolt, there were also local indigenous people.

They not only have to fight against the local climate conditions, but also constantly suppress these rebels.

It can be said that the reason why Jiaozhou can maintain such a stable situation today is all due to these soldiers.

Those who were acclimated, after treatment, their bodies gradually adapted to this place. With advanced weapons and sufficient food, those who were beaten were able to flee.

Ning Daniu's position as a general was also accumulated in these wars.

……

The next day, Ning Qingxi thought about something she wanted to say to her father yesterday, but forgot about it in the end.

After Ning Changrong came back at noon, they talked about this matter at the dinner table.

"Dad, the orphanage's expenses seem to be running low. There are more and more orphans on the streets these days."

Ning Changrong said while picking up vegetables: "There are wars everywhere, money is being drawn out one after another, and the national treasury is a bit empty, so we can only focus on the front line first."

Wang Xiujuan asked, "What about the orphanage?" There are so many young and middle-aged people who have no way to survive and can only cheat and kidnap on the street, becoming a factor of instability on the street.

"I'm still thinking of a way. They are not suitable for heavy work at that age. Let's see if we can encourage those merchants and let them work. If appropriate, we can give them some benefits." Ning Changrong thought for a while and said.

"The main issue is money, right?" Ning Qingxi rolled his eyes and asked tentatively: "Dad, do you think we can cut out the glass and sell it to the north, and then we can exchange the glass for their food? When we do business, we have to pay taxes, and then this tax can also generate revenue for the country, relieve the national treasury, and the orphanage will also have money."

Ning Changrong laughed dumbly, "I think you just want to make money, right?"

"But this method is feasible. Please let me think about it again."

The glass business is extremely profitable, and you exchange worthless sand for free money. Although the market is not as good as in the prosperous times, as long as the marketing is good, you don't have to worry about money.

It's just that his family can't make all the profits from this business. It's a hugely profitable industry. They must give the palace a share, which can be regarded as protection money. Otherwise, how can they maintain such wealth by themselves?

Now there is a shortage of money everywhere, and the originally abundant national treasury is used everywhere. Money is spent one by one. The people are safe and the national treasury is empty.

Ning Qingxi really wanted to make some money for his family. The family had a lot of money, so there was no need to go out of his way to make money, but who would be dissatisfied with having too much money?
