After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Someone even came to inquire enthusiastically: "Mr. Wang, do you know why the city lord summoned us this time?"

Wang Yin shook his head, "How would I know."

"But looking at the situation of today's meeting, it seems to be extraordinary! The city lord rarely calls so many people to a meeting. What's more, he called us merchants for the first time? Sanniang is in the army, why didn't she reveal anything to you? Seeing that the fixed tax is coming, could the city lord call us here at this time to..."

Wang Yin raised his eyebrows and interrupted this person's exploration, "It is precisely because Sanniang works in the army, and the army naturally has confidentiality regulations. In order to avoid suspicion, how can she tell me? Oh, you might be the last one. I know."

The others looked disbelieving, but it was hard to ask any more questions.

But the noses of these merchants were like dogs' noses, and they naturally smelled something unusual from Xu Zhenying's move.

God pray, don't let them pay for this tax.

According to the usual practice in previous years, they always have to peel off a layer of skin at this time!

The main conference room was even more lively.

Xu Zhenying summoned almost everyone to attend this regular meeting. Even Xu Yinxi drove back from Ye County. When old friends met, they naturally had endless things to talk about and endless work to do.

Everyone sat down one by one under the guidance of the logistics staff, and soon the room was filled with nearly fifty or sixty people.

When the clock in the room reached nine o'clock, Xu Zhenying appeared on time.

The entire venue fell silent instantly, and the meeting officially began.

Xu Zhenying's meetings have always been simple and clear, straight to the point, "I know everyone is busy, and this time it was not easy to bring everyone together. We mainly talk about three things. After discussing, everyone will do what they should do."

Everyone took out the booklet and started recording.

Xu Zhenying was in a trance and returned to the way he was when his boss came to the meeting in his previous life.

Could it be that you started this trend yourself?

She hated him deeply in her previous life!

"First thing, Fang Xun reports on the situation of the pig farm."

Fang Xun was already prepared and did not stand up. He just sat down and said directly: "Our visit this time was very successful. More than a hundred pigs have been sold out. Especially the tasting that afternoon will cause the orders to skyrocket. At present, We have already received 102 long-term cooperative restaurants from Jinzhou Prefecture, Xingyuan Prefecture and other places, and 530 retail investors. It is predicted that next year’s profit will exceed the 10,000-tael mark."

"Making money is not our goal. How do farmers react?"

"A total of 17 village chiefs in Ye County and Lan County are interested in building a breeding plant, which is expected to create about two to three thousand jobs. We have sent people to find out the conditions of these 17 villages and discussed the construction plan. It is estimated that the next It will be fully operational within the next month.”

"How about the cooperative model?"

"We contribute half of the capital and Murakami contributes half. It is considered a village pig factory."

"Lan County pigs are a long-term business. They can drive the people in the countryside to work hard and get rich. The people sent there must be trustworthy, lest the egg-laying hens become the property of someone in the village."

Xu Zhenying looked around at the dark crowd of people below, and then quickly finished talking about the breeding factory. She knocked on the table and released the most earth-shattering bomb in the calmest tone, "The second thing, Lan County is too big now, I'm going to The Demonstration New Village is divided into a separate county. It is tentatively named Gaoxin County, which means high-speed development county. The county magistrate is Wang Sanniang, assisted by Wang Xingye. Are these two people here?"

There was a moment of astonishment in the crowd!

Not to mention everyone else, even Wang Sanniang herself was confused. It took her a long time to confirm that Xu Zhenying just called her name.

There is no news at all about this... personnel appointment!

Not only Wang Sanniang, but Wang Xingye was also confused. The two completely confused people stood up and subconsciously replied: "City Lord, I am here, I am here!"

Although Xu Zhenying has always had the say in Lan County, others are allowed to put forward opinions. Xu Zhenying never expected that the first person to object would be his aunt Huang Cui'e. "City Lord, the two people you chose, one is too young, and the other is too young." They are from outside, and these two people may not be able to afford it, so I think it would be better to choose someone from our Xu family who would be more at ease!"

Xu Zhenying then thought about it. When her eldest aunt said this, could it be that she felt that the position of mayor of the new demonstration village was reserved for Xu Huijia?

No wonder the eldest aunt had been very attentive before.

The rest of the Xu family members all looked in agreement, which made Wang Sanniang and Wang Xingye particularly embarrassed.

"If you talk about young, I am the youngest among you. If you talk about foreigners, our Xu family are all foreigners. I, Xu Zhenying, choose people to work without regard to origin, age, or gender. I will comment on other people's opinions. "

Xu Yinxi naturally had no objection.

Xu Zhenying is right. If we say she is young, she, Xu Yinxi, is also very young. Didn't she become the magistrate of Ye County?

But Xu Degui was hesitant to speak. He quite agreed that the post of county magistrate should be held by the Xu family. Even if the Demonstration New Village became a county, there would only be three county towns in total. If Wang Sanniang went there to be the county magistrate, , what should I do if Xu Huiming comes back?

It’s hard to ask him to be a merchant all the time, right?

Xu Degui thought about it over and over, but he couldn't bring it up in front of so many people.

He had no choice but to make up his mind to talk to Xu Zhenying in private.

Liu Dazhuang, on the other hand, had just returned and had not yet adapted, so he had no idea about the situation and could only remain silent.

Ming Xiaoshuang's heart skipped a beat.

It's over. There are more and more capable people around the city lord. Will there be a day when there is no room for him to be useful?

Although he knew in his heart that Xu Zhenying asked him to go to the intermediate class for further study this time, it was just to give an explanation to others, not to kick him out.

But when he suddenly heard Xu Zhenying's arrangement, he still had mixed feelings in his heart.

If the refugee riots hadn't happened, then he would have been the most legitimate magistrate of Gaoxin County!

Now that I think about it, Ming Xiaoshuang is really angry and annoyed. She can only secretly make up her mind to be more cautious in her words and actions from now on, and never fail to seize the opportunity when it comes!

"Don't you have any objections? If you don't have any objections, just forget it."

"Wait a minute!" Unexpectedly, it was Wang Sanniang who spoke. She seemed a little urgent, and her eyes were frighteningly bright. "City Lord, I...I...Mrs. Xu is right...I am too young and lack experience. Demonstrate to the new village." There are tens of thousands of people, and I’m afraid they can’t be managed well.”

Xu Zhenying frowned, as if he was really unhappy, and his voice was raised a little, with a stern tone: "Wang Sanniang, have I ever said, what is the first priority of a soldier?"

Wang Sanniang's face turned red and she was a little ashamed, but she still said loudly: "It's obedience!"

"Very good! Can you do a good job as the magistrate of Gaoxin County?"

Wang Sanniang felt that her face was burning. She had no choice or retreat. She could only raise her head and chest like she had trained countless times in the army, and said in a loud voice: "We can do it well!"

The corners of Xu Zhenying's lips curled up slightly, then she calmed down and said word by word: "Then I will tell you now why I want you to be the county magistrate. You first participated in the field allocation work in Ye County, and the people spoke well of you. Later you You also participated in the land reclamation work of the demonstration new village and became familiar with the situation there. You performed well in the army, leading both in cultural achievements and physical fitness. You always maintained a state of learning, were enthusiastic and patient with the people, and received the most letters of commendation. !”

For some reason, Wang Sanniang couldn't help it, her eyes turned red!

She suddenly felt that the hard work and fatigue of these few months were worth it!

Xu Zhenying's words were scorching, and his eyes were bright and compelling: "So, if I don't use people like you, who do you want me to use?"

Zhang Wanjun, who was behind Xu Zhenying, was already so anxious that she just wanted to press Wang Sanniang's head and agree.

It seems that these girls entered the military camp together, ate, lived and slept together. They had already developed a comradeship that was deeper than that of real sisters. Wang Sanniang was the one among them who was the most willing to endure hardships and never complained about being tired. Now the Lord of Meng City thinks so highly of her that he allows her to be the county magistrate of the model village. What an honor it is!

This honor not only belongs to Wang Sanniang, but also to these girls, and to all female soldiers!

This silly girl actually pushed it out?

Wang Sanniang could no longer refuse, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes!"

She remembered something again, "City Lord, after I leave, who among the female soldiers will take over as instructor?"

Xu Zhenying nodded at the woman next to Wang Sanniang and said with a smile, "Is that Gu Guihua?"

Although Xu Zhenying didn't say it clearly, Gu Guihua had already realized something, and her face turned red with excitement, "City Lord, the female soldier Gu Guihua reports to you!"

"Very good. I have seen the performance list of your female soldiers. Your cultural scores are among the best, and you are the best in military theory. It is said that you have been the captain of actual combat exercises several times and you have led your teammates to achieve good results."

"That's the unity of comrades! It's not my fault alone!"

"You don't have to refuse. You must have contributed a lot to this. After Wang Sanniang takes office, you will be responsible for the affairs of female soldiers."

The girls couldn't contain their joy, and Wang Sanniang secretly squeezed Gu Guihua's hand.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Gu Guihua's voice was loud and powerful.

Xu Zhenying smiled with satisfaction, by the way, this is how he looks like a soldier!

"Let Fang Xun be the magistrate of Lan County first."

Everyone had no objections to this arrangement. Fang Xun was an old man in the Xu family team. He had done a great job in breeding before, so his promotion was certain.

But I didn't expect that Fang Xun would take this step very quickly.

From the director of the breeding factory to the county magistrate, that's a step up to heaven.

Fang Xun accepted the order calmly, thinking that Xu Zhenying had already communicated with Fang Xun in private.

This arrangement actually made everyone's hearts boil with excitement.

As long as you are willing to work hard for Xu Zhenying, Xu Zhenying will not treat anyone badly!

Lan County is really full of gold and opportunities!

"The rest of the appointments remain unchanged for the time being, but the work is more detailed. Xu Anping and Fang Ningmo are responsible for promoting universal education, Da Zhuang and Mo Jinchun are responsible for urban defense and security, and Fang Xun's agricultural entrance is temporarily handed over to Ming Ming. Xiaoshuang, my mother and several aunts are still responsible for the logistics."

Everyone nodded in agreement, only Ming Xiaoshuang was excited.

The girl finally wants to use him again!

Although they were supposed to take over from Fang Xun to raise pigs, Ming Xiaoshuang could now see further. The girl was talking about agriculture, which should not only raise pigs, but also harvest the first batch of sweet potatoes and plant cotton. Piece by piece, isn’t it easy to achieve results?

"Let's discuss today's most important issue, fixed taxation. Zhenniang, go and invite the merchant representatives to come in."

The merchants had been sitting outside all morning, and the benches were almost hot before they heard people shouting inside.

There were five merchant representatives in total. In addition to the three families of Wang, Liu and Gu, there were also two families of refugees from the demonstration village. One made farm tools and the other made timber. They also made a fortune and were invited over by Xu Zhenying.

Although they had met Xu Zhenying several times, they had never participated in such a high-profile meeting.

Only Wang Yin found Wang Sanniang a few days ago and got a few words of advice. At this moment, he felt as if he had been to this large conference room countless times. He calmly took his seat in the last few rows like a big brother taking the lead.

Seeing this, the others could only hurry up and follow.

The first thing they felt when they came in was that the lobby of the county government office was so small!

When Magistrate Sun judged cases here in the past, he didn't think it was small. Now when the table and benches are put away, and dozens of people sit there, it suddenly feels like there is no place to put your feet.

Across the crowd, Wang Sanniang looked at her father.

She sat in the front, and Wang Yin sat in the last row. There seemed to be a long and unbridgeable distance between the father and daughter.

Wang Yin immediately saw Wang Sanniang's red eyes.

Yeah, isn't this a scolding?

Could it be that the city lord told Sanniang that she didn't handle things well?

Wang Yin became tense now, and his back, which had been relaxed just a moment ago, suddenly straightened.

"Today I have also invited business representatives from Lan County to discuss the tax quota. According to the news from Jinzhou Prefecture, our Lan County tax quota this year is 200,000 taels, which is higher than last year. There is an extra fifty thousand taels. Let everyone tell you what you think."

When the issue of money came up, everyone became excited. Xu Degui, who controls the money in Lan County, was the first to speak: "City Lord, our Lan County has not collected taxes since last year. For one thing, most of the people have fled. , those left behind are the old, weak, sick and disabled. They are unable to farm at all, and it is not easy to survive the winter. Secondly, we have been engaged in construction, breeding, education, and the military. All these expenditures are made by ourselves. Advance payment, I tell you the truth, with so many people, even the Xu family’s gold and silver have long been empty! Now there is not even a cent of tax money in the treasury!”

Qian Zhenniang also immediately added: "Yes, not to mention that the city lord has promised before that there will be no taxes in Ye County and the demonstration village in the first year. So not only will our taxes not be paid this year, but we will also not be able to pay them next year. !”

Several business representatives trembled and said nothing as they listened, fearing that if they said one more word, the tax payment would be laid on their heads.

They really hate it. If they had known that the meeting was going to discuss this, they would have just pretended to be cowardly and not come.

Xu Zhenying looked troubled, "What should we do if we don't have money? You are crying poverty to me today. Could it be that you want me to cry poverty to the tax collection eunuchs in the future and tell him that we have no money in Lan County and ask him to leave?" "

Everyone was discouraged.
