The Golden County Magistrate

Chen Yan didn't know that his name had entered the core layer of the Great Zhou.

There was nothing to do these days, and he enjoyed teasing Lu Qing'er every day.

Looking at Lu Qing'er who was walking towards him, Chen Yan had a little pride on his face.

"Why are you limping? Did you fall somewhere?"

Lu Qing'er glared at Chen Yan coquettishly, "It's all because of the young master's badness."

Thinking of Chen Yan's fierceness last night, Lu Qing'er still had lingering fears.

If she had known this, she shouldn't have provoked him.

Chen Yan chuckled, "I don't know where it's broken, how about I help you apply the medicine?"

Lu Qing'er was even more embarrassed, her red face shook like a rattle, and the ups and downs in front of her body also swayed, which made Chen Yan angry.

At this time, a yamen runner ran in.

Seeing this, Chen Yan put away his playful thoughts.

"Sir, someone outside wants to see you. It's the woman with a veil that you met a few days ago."

"You're quite quick. Arrange the guest in the living room. I'll be there soon."

Chen Yan muttered.

Qingshan County Government Office, the living room behind the lobby.

He Jinyao's expression was a bit complicated, and he still had an extremely shocked look on his face.

All the way here, the cement walls and streets really shocked him.

And this, this small Qingshan County, the streets are thriving, which makes people sigh.

In today's Great Zhou, there are not many places as prosperous as Qingshan County.

No wonder His Majesty has a lot of praise for the county magistrate named Chen Yan.

I originally thought that His Majesty was a little exaggerated, but today I saw this Qingshan County with my own eyes, and I can only say that His Majesty is still conservative.

"Your Majesty, can we discuss the cement with Chen Yan?"

He Jinyao felt that such a good thing could not be buried in Qingshan County. Wouldn't it be better if it was used to build cities and roads in various parts of Da Zhou?

Under the veil, Tang Yun chuckled lightly, with a hint of teasing.

"Didn't you say before that the Zhou Chamber of Commerce should not be too big? It is enough to just operate sugar."

He Jinyao's old face flushed. He did say this on the way here, and he couldn't deny it.

"I just don't want such a good thing like cement to be buried. It's better to use it to build the walls of Luocheng and the border cities."

Tang Yun actually had this idea a long time ago. If cement was used to build the walls of Luocheng, the capital of Da Zhou would be several times safer, and it might become the most difficult city to break through in the world.

"Cement is indeed good, but it has been intercepted by others. I know that several city walls destroyed in the war have begun to be rebuilt with cement."

He Jinyao was stunned and puzzled, "It shouldn't be, how come I don't know about this."

Tang Yun sneered dissatisfiedly, "Humph, it's Chen Yan. I'm afraid he has already asked the merchants who act as agents for cement to cover up the existence of Qingshan County, so some small cities use cement to build cities without the approval of the court."

He Jinyao suddenly realized and sighed, "This Chen Yan..."

But the worries in my heart were put down. It seems that merchants have already sold cement everywhere, so it will not be buried. If the court wants to use it to build cities, it can just buy it from those merchants.

"However, Your Majesty, you still need to make some restrictions on cement."

After a little reminder, Tang Yun reacted, "Well, my dear minister, you are polite. It is better not to sell cement to other places outside the Great Zhou."

He Jinyao nodded, "That's what I mean."

As a minister, he knew very well that Tang Yun was not an emperor who was content with mediocrity.

She became the first empress of the Great Zhou, and the empress who inherited the throne, with an edict written by the previous emperor.

But she was not satisfied at all.

She also wanted to become the most powerful emperor in the history of the Great Zhou.

So, since the day she ascended the throne, she had planned to expand the territory for the Great Zhou one day in the future.

Cement is a defensive weapon. If it flows into other countries, it may become a huge obstacle for Tang Yun to expand the territory in the future.

"By the way, Your Majesty, did you see the words I just said when I passed by the county government hall?" He Jinyao stroked his beard gently, extremely excited.

This is how literati are. When they see poems or words they like, they always like to discuss them with others.

"Before you worry about the world, you will be happy after the world is happy?"

"That's right! Officials and students are all described by these two sentences. This is how you should be when you are an official."

Because of these two sentences, He Jinyao had a very good impression of Chen Yan.

He felt that a person who could write such words was definitely a good official.

As for the fact that your majesty said that this person loves money very much, it seems that loving money and being a good official do not conflict with each other, right?

Tang Yun curled her lips and ignored it.

Thinking to herself, that's because you haven'tMeet Chen Yan.

If you see him, you will know that this guy really loves money, and loves money to the extreme.

If he hadn't had some talent, I would have dismissed him.

At this time, hearty laughter came from far away.

"Oh, a distinguished guest has come to my door. Please don't blame me for not welcoming you. Please don't blame me." Chen Yan walked in very enthusiastically.

After approaching, he subconsciously stretched out his hand towards Tang Yun, which scared Qing Yuan behind Tang Yun to be alert.

Seeing that Tang Yun never made any move, Chen Yan realized that he was subconsciously using the etiquette of his previous life, which was really embarrassing.

If he took his hand back at this time, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing?

Fortunately, the customs of the people in the Great Zhou are open, and there is no great distinction between men and women.

In order to hide the embarrassment, Chen Yan pulled Tang Yun's hand and shook it gently.

Qing Yuan behind Tang Yun stared out.

While being alert, he also had the urge to kill.

If she hadn't known that Chen Yan had no ill intentions, she would have pulled out the soft sword hidden in her waist.

As for Tang Yun, she was also extremely surprised.

After sensing the warmth from her palm, she stood there in a daze.

From childhood to adulthood, she had never had any skin contact with other men except her father, because other men had the courage.

When she was older, because she had wisdom far exceeding that of other princes, she was appointed as the successor by her father.

With such a high status, it was naturally impossible for other men to approach her.

Therefore, Tang Yun, who had always been calm, didn't know what to do at this moment.

Should she kill this bold guy in front of her, or just chop off his hand?

Chen Yan found that the scene was even more embarrassing, and he regretted it a little.

It was a bit abrupt.
