Spoilers for The Red Mansion, Daiyu’s mentality is broken

Half an hour later, Grandma Liu prepared a banquet.

Although there are no delicacies from the mountains and seas, chicken, duck, and fish are all available.

Inviting Jia Huan to the top, Grandma Liu said anxiously: "My lord, the county magistrate, I don't have much good wine or food in the countryside, so just make do with what you have."

Jia Huan picked up a piece of chicken, tasted it, and then praised: "It tastes good, Grandma Liu, you have been busy for a long time, please sit down and eat together."

Grandma Liu said hurriedly: "My lord, where can I sit down with the old lady? Sir, please use it slowly. If you need anything, just call the dog."

After saying that, Grandma Liu walked out.

Jia Huan also knew the rules of this era, men were superior to women.Women were not allowed to serve at the table when there were guests, so it was not forced.

The taste of these dishes is naturally a little worse, and they are not as exquisite as those made by Jia's family.

But it was better because it had a farmhouse flavor, which made Jia Huan enjoy the meal.

After dinner, Gou'er told his wife and mother-in-law that he was valued by the county magistrate and wanted to find a future with the county magistrate.

Grandma Liu and Mrs. Liu were naturally overjoyed, but they were reluctant to leave the dog.

The family said goodbye reluctantly, and finally the dog packed up his clothes, said goodbye to his family, and followed Jia Huan away.

Soon Jia Huan returned to Ping'an County.

After entering the county government, Jia Huan began to think about letting Gou'er improve explosives.

Jia Huan didn't know much about the formula of explosives. After all, he was a medical student.

I only know the formula of mononitrate, disulfide, and charcoal.

However, I read a lot of books in my last life, and I had some superficial knowledge. It seemed that adding white sugar to black explosives at a ratio of about one to two could maximize the power of the explosives.

Next, Jia Huan called the dog, told the dog the production method, and asked him to experiment.

After hearing this, the dog seemed to understand but did not think that adding sugar to the explosives would increase the power of the explosives.

But this was the county magistrate's order, so he just had to follow it.

Jia Huan called Mo Da over again: "Mo Da, take the dog down and find a secluded house outside to settle down."

"And find a few people for him, first to protect his safety, and second to help him fight."

After listening to Jia Huan's instructions, Mo Da nodded and said, "Yes, sir."

After placing the dogs, Jia Huan was thinking about how to make the people of Ping'an County prosperous.

The establishment of the carriage workshop will surely drive the economic development of Ping'an County as a whole.

However, in the end, it is still the aristocratic family that is rich, and the common people will naturally benefit from it.

But if we want the people to benefit from the rain and dew equally and become rich, it is not an easy task.

After all, as an official, I naturally have to bring some benefits to the people of Ping'an County.

Jia Huan thought about it and felt that the first priority was to promote the two-year and three-crop farming method as soon as possible next year.

Promote the cultivation of corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts.

Once these three crops are popularized, people will be able to fill their stomachs.

But this is just to fill the people's stomachs. If you want to become rich, you need to have a side job.

Jia Huan's face showed a thoughtful look.

At the same time, we must prevent conservatives from making any more petty moves.

He had just exposed their conspiracy, so they might not dare to make any big moves again.

But they may not engage in some small tricks again.

These still need to be watched out for.

However, relying on oneself, or relying on the county government alone, cannot achieve this at all.

After all, there are only so many county government officials and police officers.This matter still needs to trouble those gentry families.

Fortunately, all fourteen gentry families in Ping'an County were tied to him.

It is not that easy for outsiders to cause trouble in Ping'an County.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan called Mo Da again and asked him to order people to invite all the heads of the fourteen aristocratic families to the county government.

This time, Jia Huan was too lazy to treat him again.

At this point, the two parties have completed deep binding, and now it is the masters of the fourteen families who act based on his expression.

Half an hour later, all fourteen family heads came to the county government office.

After Jia Huan appeared, the heads of the fourteen families rushed to salute Jia Huan and say hello.

Jia Huan sat down at the top and ordered everyone to sit down.

Then Jia Huan said: "I have invited you here this time because I have some good news to tell you."

"A few days ago, the Japanese officials personally escorted the tax money to the capital and expressed their merits in front of the Holy Master."

"Your Majesty highly praises you for your profound understanding of righteousness. At my request, Your Majesty agreed to inscribe inscriptions for your fourteen families."

"Soon, these inscriptions will be delivered to your house."

This time Emperor Chongkang agreed to give these fourteen families their own names, which was also a support for Jia Huan's appointment.

Anyone who supports change will be given preferential treatment by the court.

Of course, this is also because it is the beginning of the change. Even if the subsequent aristocratic families support the change, they will not be able to get the emperor's inscription.

And now the fourteen aristocratic families who have received the emperor's inscription will definitely support Jia Huan's work.

When the heads of the fourteen families learned that they had indeed received His Majesty's inscription, they were ecstatic and even moved to tears.

They followed the changes made by the county magistrate and there was no turning back.

If the reform fails in the future, these fourteen companies may also be liquidated.

And now with His Majesty's inscription, it can at least protect the peace of their family for decades.

How could they not be ecstatic about this?

"Thank you, sir. If you have any orders from now on, we will do our best to help you!"

"Your Majesty's great kindness will be unforgettable by me! From now on, whenever your Majesty gives you orders, we will never dare to disobey you."

"From now on, we will all be your lackeys, and you will only follow your lead!"

After hearing everyone's opinions, Jia Huan nodded slightly.

Next, Jia Huan said: "I do have things for you to do, and there are still three things."

"My lord, just tell me."

Jia Huan nodded and said: "The first thing is to guard against someone who is unwilling to do anything and wants to cause trouble in our Pingan County."

"Therefore, I hope that all families can send more manpower to keep an eye on strangers who come to Ping'an County. Once they find something inappropriate, they will immediately investigate and report it to the county government."

These fourteen aristocratic families have their tentacles spread throughout Ping'an County.

As long as they pay attention, outsiders who want to cause trouble must not hide it from their eyes and ears.

This is the energy of these local snakes.

After hearing the first thing, these fourteen family heads all said that they would make arrangements after returning.

Jia Huan continued: "The second thing is to ask each of your fourteen families to devote at least one thousand acres of land to plant sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts."

"And five hundred acres of it will be planted after the wheat is harvested. After these three crops are harvested, winter wheat will continue to be cultivated." (End of Chapter)
