After his parents settled down, Zhou Bai did not return to Hongni Township immediately, but stayed in the county seat for a few days.

His soul is uncomfortable now, and it is difficult to make progress by reading the Taoist scriptures, so he simply deals with the idle affairs of human relations.

For example, if he is famous as a talent in the first examination of the county examination, he must be a student in the county, and he can freely choose whether to enter the official school or not.

Zhou Bai naturally won't go, the county school has a slightly higher level of teaching, and the other teachings are all from the book, where can he teach anything.

So he went directly to the Jiao Na to report, did a good job of registering as a student, and chose not to enroll in the county official school.

When I went to the teaching, I must have to communicate with the recent Xiucai in the county, and it is essential to eat and socialize.

There are so many people who are sophisticated just because of their identities, and the cloud rider will naturally be more.

In addition to the edicts and county orders, the county officials, the chief bookkeeper, and the county lieutenant, also have to visit the three court officials.

It means that I will also be regarded as a person in the system in the future, and I will enjoy the treatment of eight grades, and I must inform him of anything in the Pingcang Land Realm.

Duan Dehou, the county's inspection from Jiupin, Zhou Bai did not think that the official was small and looked down on him, and he made a special appointment to have a meal, and mentioned the routine given to him this year.

That's right, it wasn't the small inspection that gave Zhou Bai, the cloud cavalry captain, benefits, but Zhou Bai gave Duan Dehou the silver on behalf of the Zhou family.

This is the way of doing things for the local heroes, not to mention the inspection, even if the six-room officials have some benefits every year.

Since the various industries of the Zhou family have developed smoothly for so many years, all kinds of taxes are also according to the lowest level that can be collected.

Duan Dehou saw that this young upstart was not difficult to greet at all, and he became more and more interested, and if he didn't hug his thighs, he wouldn't be able to hug him if he took off completely in the future.

So he immediately patted his chest and promised that there would be more inspectors during the period of clearing the wasteland in Hongni Township, and secretly reported a few names to Zhou Bai.

They are all Duan Dehou's henchmen in the inspection office in the nearby township, as long as he reports his name, he can call one or two.

This is also the situation that Zhou Baire has seen, the county soldiers managed by the county lieutenant are too eye-catching, and these inspectors who no one looks down on can consider developing a relationship.

There are ways to fight a tough battle, but there are also ways to use it if you can't fight it.

After the official affairs were dealt with, before he could accompany Yu Yueyun to go shopping, Zhou Bai was invited by Chen, Qian, Shi, Yu and other county wealthy families.

If the Chen family wants to use Chen Yun's slightest connection to completely confirm the title of half teacher, they can see that in front of such Tianjiao, how can there be any gap between the county and the wealthy villagers.

And the Shi family just wants to marry and find a potential stock like Zhou Bai for his granddaughter, even if Shi Hongmao dies in the future, he is not afraid that no one in the family will take care of him.

To be honest, Zhou Bai is very tempted, because as long as he marries, the Shi family will inevitably fully support the development of the Zhou family, and he will be able to eat his family industry from scratch in the future.

In addition to Shi Hongmao, the official of Shijing, only the forging skills passed down from generation to generation are worthy of a different view, and the farm tools and even weapons produced by their family are first-class, and they have a good reputation in the counties near Cangshan.

Even the Grassland Jin Kingdom once tried to spend a lot of money to buy the forging secret of the historian, but it was only discovered and warned by the imperial court that it would stop.

And marrying a historian is equivalent to including the Yu family in the alliance.

Because the Yu family is also thin, their pillar industry is mining, and they own several small iron and copper mines in Pingcang and even Bei'an County.

Business is interdependent, and they have always been friends with the historian, often advancing and retreating together.

This is also the biggest reason why the two families, as the weakest county hao family, can still gain a firm foothold in Pingcang and prevent Zhao Chenqian and other families from annexing it.

As long as the marriage is expected, it is expected to be supported by the two county tycoons, which can greatly shorten Zhou Bai's savings time.

However, it is a pity that Shi Hongmao wants to marry, and he wants Zhou Bai to join him, saying that if he has children in the future, he can inherit the Zhou family separately.

From here, it can be seen that this famous man is not just as simple as a good man spread outside, he also has the idea of revitalizing the family, just borrowing the power of his son-in-law.

Before Zhou Bai was lifted, this condition seemed to outsiders to be enough.

The temptation is indeed not small, but it is impossible for Zhou Bai to agree, how could this world have heard that a son-in-law can succeed and open up a foundation.

If this is done, I am afraid that the newly established small team will be demoralized and will no longer serve him.

Later, Zhou Bai thought about it, even if he talked about it again, maybe Shi Hongmao would give up at most one step, and the position of the wife was certain.

However, he can accept a political marriage, but he can't accept that his wife has no feelings, especially if the other party is just a mortal.

Therefore, Zhou Bai politely refused Shi Hongmao's temptation, saying that he needed to go down to the test and Jinshi, and not be distracted elsewhere for the time being.

In the future, if he is a fellow jinshi, or even a celestial, it will be easy to say that he will talk to the historian about the conditions.

After a series of personal exchanges, when Zhou Bai returned to Hongxiao Township with Yu Yueyun, it was already the end of April.

The drought eased, Ji Hongzhe officially supervised the implementation of the new policy, and Zhou Bai also made the family respond to the new policy.

In fact, before the Zhou family, the highest standard of the villagers who did not reclaim the clan land to 9,999 mu was not reclaimed to the highest standard, in addition to spending energy on operating various shop industries, that is, the land around the Zhou family's field was all red and small.

The ancestral land of the family is nearly twenty miles away from Cangshan, and it could have continued to move forward when it took root in the ancestral hall, but there is an extremely precious water source here, and two small streams gush out from the cracks in the ground, which is a choice that restricts the future expansion of the family's family fields.

It can't be said that the ancestors of the Kai clan did wrong, there is a water source in Pingcang County that can be settled, and no one is willing to leave.

And it is precisely because of the abundant water source that the family currently has more than half of the more than 6,000 acres of paddy fields, and the annual harvest ranks in the forefront of the county, which is completely enough to feed the entire township.

Speaking of which, Zhou Mingxuan's generations were also forced to develop business in a helpless manner, and the clan fields were surrounded by red soil and could not grow grain.

In this way, Zhou Bai appointed Zhou Qi to excavate red mud, and then placed the goal of clan land reclamation near Cangshan Mountain.

As for the most critical issue of water source, in addition to knowing that above Cangshan Mountain, there are several hidden mountain springs that can lead water down the mountain.

Then there is the main direction of his work in the inner government, trying to plant drought-resistant crops, and spending a lot of money to drag the sweet potatoes, bud rice, artichokes and other things purchased by the Qi family have been tried in Zhou Bai's manor.

The Central Plains Humanist Dynasty has many feudal states around it, all of which are the migration and subdivision of the heirs of the Son of Heaven, which is a vassal country like the Jin State.

There are also human settlements overseas, and the human races in these small countries are different from the Central Plains, so they are called Fanbang.

At present, the germination and growth of crops in Fanbang are good, and Zhou Bai assured the tribesmen that if there is a problem with the yield at the time of harvest, it will definitely not be planted on a large scale.

But in fact, because of the experiments in his previous life, Zhou Bai is fully confident that the harvested Fanbang grain seeds can also have high yields in arid areas.
