Linglan Continent Book, Earl's Son Volume

Chapter 10: Leaving Huodu

This matter finally came to an end, and Yan San and Uncle Zhong both returned to the Earl's Mansion safely. Finally, the power of Huodu County was in the hands of Yan San.

Yan San issued a public announcement in the name of the earl, exposing the conspiracy of Yongding Prefecture and the county prime minister to frame him and occupy Huodu County, and at the same time, Yan San also announced that he would inherit the position of earl.

After the announcement was posted, the people of Huodu County clapped their hands and celebrated, this is the ending that the people of Huodu County are most willing to see, for them, subconsciously, they don't want the earl's righteous son to be a bad person, and they don't want a good person like the earl to break off.

Yan Jiu was buried in the scenery, and even the county pastor Lan Geng attended the burial ceremony. Or maybe it was because Lan Geng attended the burial ceremony of the blue wine apprentice, and many officials from Yongding Prefecture also rushed to attend.

After the funeral, Lan Geng transferred away the officers of Yongding Prefecture, because of this incident, this time Lan Geng had an excuse to purge the top of the army in Yongding Prefecture and clear all the personnel that Yu Wenhe had planted in the army in Yongding Prefecture.

In this battle, Lan Geng won completely, Yu Wenhe lost a mess, and his military influence in Yongding Prefecture was completely uprooted, which made Yu Wenhe so angry that he gritted his teeth, if it weren't for the ineffective work of Yongding Prefecture's pastor, he would not have ended up like this.

Yan San knelt in front of the tomb of the Yan drunkard, he couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart, he was resurrected from the cemetery, there was no one around him, and finally recognized a father-in-law who was very close to him, and then returned to the west, leaving himself, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

At this time, Lan Jingyue was standing by Yan San's side, and she hadn't left yet. She saw Yan San's sad appearance, she sighed softly, although Yan San is usually funny and lively, in fact, he is not as frivolous as he seems, on the contrary, he is a person who values love and righteousness, and has simple emotions.

"You can't come back to life after death, and you shouldn't think too much about it, it hurts your body. Lan Jingyue stroked Yan San's head and said softly comfortingly.

"I know, Sister Jingyue. Yan San nodded.

Lan Jingyue sighed, stroked his head, and said, "I also plan to leave Fuche County, maybe, in the next period of time, I will rarely return to Fuche County." I don't know why, thinking of leaving suddenly, Lan Jingyue was a little reluctant, I don't know if I can't let go of my father, or I can't let go of this funny guy.

"Where is Sister Jingyue going?" Yan San couldn't help but raise his head to look at her, he had a very good impression of Lan Jingyue, she was like a big sister, which made Yan San feel very comfortable.

"I don't have a specific plan yet, maybe I'll go back to the mercenary group first, and then make a decision. Lan Jingyue said: "What about you, have you always lived in Huodu County?"

Yan San scratched his head and said, "I don't know yet, I should go to Kyoto, my title has not been recognized by His Majesty." I will take my father's letter to the ministry and hand it to Your Majesty. ”

"Well, okay, let's see you again when we have a chance. Lan Jingyue nodded lightly.

When they left, there was a faint sadness, Yan San looked at the refreshing beauty in front of him, couldn't help but smile, and said with a narrow smile, "Sister Jingyue, don't forget, once you meet, it's fate, the second time you meet, it's a share, and if you meet three times, then it's marriage." "That cheerful Yan San is back.

"It's just you, when you're older, little brat. Lan Jingyue glanced at Yan San and said.

These words hit Yan San too hard, Yan San glared at Lan Jingyue and said, "What a little brat, now, I can do everything a man can do." Speaking of this, he whispered in Lan Jingyue's ear: "Am I a man, Sister Jingyue should I try it, I am still a virgin like jade." ”

Yan San's brazen words made Lan Jing's face crimson, his face hot, and he said angrily, "You go to die!"

Yan San jumped away and laughed proudly.

Lan Jingyue was so angry that her face turned red, her eyes were angry, and she wanted to beat him.

In the end, Lan Jingyue left Huodu County, but being so funny by Yan San, the atmosphere of parting was much more relaxed.

After returning to the mansion, Uncle Zhong said worriedly: "Young master, now that the big and small things in the county are piled up, and someone needs to deal with them, how should it be good, should the young master take charge himself? Or find a suitable county leader." ”

Yan San glanced at Uncle Zhong and said, "No, Uncle Zhong, I still have to go to Beijing and let His Majesty recognize the title." Huodu County's affairs, you are in charge, you are the county leader. You have been by your father's side for so many years, you are very experienced, and you are familiar with the affairs of Huodu County, and you are very suitable to serve as the county leader. ”

Yan San believed in Uncle Zhong's ability, and when he was by the old earl's side, he kept everything in order, and he didn't have to worry about the old earl at all.

"No, young master, I am waiting for you by your side, listening to the errand by your side, young master, and running around for the young master before and after the saddle. Uncle Zhong said busily. He is the servant of the Yan family and the personal servant of the head of the Yan family, and his responsibility is to listen to errands by the master's side.

"Uncle Zhong, the situation is different now, so don't stick to these. There is one less person in Huodu County who is in charge of the overall situation, so you will be in charge. Besides, I'm still young, I can run, and I don't need to be waited on. Yan San said.

Uncle Zhong said: "Young master, you are an earl, if you don't have a servant by your side, this will also be a loss of specifications and make your face disgraced outside." It's better to recruit a trustworthy maid and let her wait for the young master by her side. ”

"No need Uncle Zhong, I have a tail behind me, I'm even more uncomfortable, besides, we don't have a lot of money now, let's save it. Yan San said.

In the past two days, Yan San and Uncle Zhong have counted the silver deposits at home and in the county. The family has very little money, only three or five thousand taels of silver, and the county treasury has very little silver, only fifty or sixty thousand silver.

Although this sounds like a lot of money, for a Huo County of about 100,000 people, this amount of money is too little, because for a county to operate normally, it has to hire staff, handle administrative affairs, hire officials, maintain law and order, not to mention, there are other expenses. Originally, the nobles of the earl level, the nobles who owned the fiefdom, could not only have a high-level guard, but also build an army in their own fiefdom.

However, Huo Duyan did not have an army, so it can be said that many times, the official was both a security officer and the responsibility of the army, and as for the earl's guard, there was no one, the reason was very simple, no money, poor.

This amount of silver in stock, even if you save a little, you can only use it for three months, and if the tax can't be collected, I'm afraid that there will really be no money. This is all because the Yan drunkards exercise the policy of minimum taxation in Huodu County, making the government poor and the people rich, but also because of this, it also makes the Yan family supported by all the people in Huodu County, and the prestige of the Yan family is unmatched in Huodu County.

In fact, because of the low taxes in Huodu County, many businessmen came to Huodu County to do business, but unfortunately, the Yanjiu disciples devoted themselves to cultivation and did not put their minds on governing Huodu County, so that it did not improve much. In fact, Huodu County still has a lot of potential, and what is lacking is a person who has the ability to govern and build and operate the administration.

Fortunately, this time I searched the county Cheng's house, and I copied a lot of money, the silver alone was seventy or eighty thousand, which was more than the inventory, and there were many precious things, folded up, there were thirteen or forty thousand. With this money, Huodu County's funds can be more relaxed.

It seems that the county has been greedy for a lot of ink over the years, of course, compared to other places, it can be regarded as incorruptible, mainly because there are Yan drunkards in the town, and the county does not dare to be too greedy.

Uncle Zhong still wanted to say, but, seeing that Yan San was so resolute, he had to endure it.

"In the next few days, I will deal with the affairs of the county, the provisions that should be promulgated, and the orders that should be promulgated, all of them will be disposed of, and I will go to Beijing again, Uncle Zhong will help me pay attention to it to see if there is a team suitable for going to Beijing." Yan San said.

In Huodu County, major documents and important orders are invalid if they are not stamped with a big seal in Yan San's hand.
