Yan Chenghou was so busy that he could hardly find him. Although he liked to be busy, according to his busy schedule these days, he estimated that he would be exhausted in no time and there were too many people looking for him.

The place where he worked was the wing room of the county government office. The county government office in the west of the town was very small, and Yang Ze never expanded it. He would rather put money and manpower on the garden for Li Yan than renovate his yamen. So even if Yan Chenghou had too many things to do, he could only work in the wing room after he was waiting to see him.

Of course, Yang Ze also said that if there is not enough place, then it will be possible to go to the main hall. Anyway, the main hall is always empty, so it is better to use Yan Chenghou as a public office. But Yan Chenghou refused, so he would not be subordinates. He took over Shangguan's main hall. Even if no one thought he wanted to seize power, he himself felt that he was too despicable.

Yan Chenghou put down the pen in his hand and pressed his temple with his fingers. At this time, his servant brought a cup of tea. Seeing the hard work of the master, he said, "Young master, otherwise you will have a rest. This business will not be done, but if you are exhausted, it will be bad."

Yan Chenghou smiled and said, "I used to try my best to be an official and thought it would be better to be an official, but now I have become an official, but I feel it's hard to do it. Isn't this a contradiction?"

The servant nodded and advised, "You have to pay attention to your health. I guess you may have to go far away. Once you leave, you will be in charge of the west of the town again. Maybe it will be even harder at that time!"

When the servant said this, he was a little proud. Yan Chenghou was very respected in Yang Ze's small group. Almost all internal affairs were handled by Yan Chenghou. Except for the lack of a county magistrate's confession, Yan Chenghou was actually not much different from the county magistrate.

Yan Chenghou took a sip of tea and said, "Call the next one in!"

The servant agreed and laughed, "The next one is Zheng Cai. He is a rich man from Qiuzhou."

Yan Chenghou knew what Zheng Cai was here for a sentence from the servant. He was amused in his heart. This trick was really useful, but he used the name of claiming property and brought countless people from the northern part of Qiuzhou to the west of the town.

There is too much land here in Zhenxi, and even if refugees are recruited to farm, it cannot be planted. Other places are crowded and have little land. However, Zhenxi is just the opposite. There are many lands and few people. If a rich man can join the ranks of land reclamation, it would be great. The rich man has financial resources and has no shortage of seeds and farm tools. More importantly, they have experience in running a farm, which is really a valuable resource for Zhenxi.

Zheng Cai was taken into the wing room and thought to himself: "After all, there is no need to talk about things in the tavern. It is really unacceptable to not talk about things in the government!"

After entering the room, Zheng Cai treated Yan Chenghou, complimented him, and then expressed his purpose for the request for the interview. Yan Chenghou finished listening patiently and said, "Then you tell me the number of losses you may suffer. Just say a rough number. But if the number reported exceeds 20% of the real number, it would be unkind, and we will investigate."

Zheng Cai hurriedly said: "I have suffered from bandits and suffered losses. I should have been responsible for it. Now Lord Yang will compensate the common people. He is as straight as a Bodhisattva. If the common people still want to cheat, wouldn't it be worse than beasts?"

Yan Chenghou took out two pieces of paper and said, "Look at it. Fill it out, in duplicate, one you keep, and one in the yamen record."

This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing. I have never heard of it before. Zheng Cai dared not fill in it more. If he fills in it more and it is really found out, wouldn’t he shoot himself in the foot? Not only did he get a bad reputation, but he really didn’t have the courage to fight against the government. Therefore, the number he filled in was similar to the losses he might have suffered, and was even smaller than the losses he might have suffered.

After filling out the form, Zheng Cai gave it to Yan Chenghou a little nervously and said, "This is the first time that the villain is backfilling this kind of thing. I haven't even heard of it before. I don't know if it's right. Please ask Director Yan to take a look."

Yan Chenghou looked at it carefully and said, "Nothing wrong." He took out his seal, stamped it on two forms, handed one to Zheng Cai, and said, "Take it, wait until the matter is over, come to me to settle the settlement. Then you can use it for a land deed."

Zheng Cai agreed repeatedly, carefully folded the form, put it in his arms, took out a small leather bag from his pocket, respectfully praised it to Yan Chenghou, and said, "I hope Master Yan will not be disgusted with him."

Yan Cheng smiled bitterly. He was born into a wealthy family. Although he had never enjoyed any blessings when he was a child, it was different now. Not to mention a small bag of copper coins, even a bag of gold, how could he take it seriously?

He waved his hand and did not take the small bag. Yan Cheng said kindly: "I did business and I didn't do anything for personal gain. You don't have to bribe me. You'd better take it back. Your family was robbed and it was time to use money everywhere."

Zheng Cai was quite embarrassed. He had never seen an official who did not charge money. He thought it was too little and he didn't care about it, but he didn't bring more, so he had to repeatedly say that he would thank him in the future and planned to make up one more when he got the land deed in the future. He could not let the official do nothing. This is not in line with the rules!

Yan Chenghou waited for Zheng Cai to go out, and then he called the next one again. He was busy with business and had no time to rest.

Time flies very quickly, and a few more days passed. Almost all the wealthy families in the northern part of Qiuzhou were found. Through their relationship, they all obtained the so-called stone ditch and used this as a certificate to meet Yan Chenghou. They were nervous before meeting and could breathe a sigh of relief after coming out, but in the end, they had to wait until they claimed the property. Whether they could get compensation depends on whether the Zhenxi County Office was trustworthy.

On this day, Gong Yangliu finally came from Qiuzhou. After listening to his subordinates' reports, he didn't care about sciatica. He had to endure it or not and ran to the west of the town with a quick whip.

As soon as he entered the city, Gong Yangliu went directly to the county government office. Before he could enter the door, he shouted: "Master Yang, Yang Ze, are you in the mansion?" He was really anxious. He suddenly realized that the national master was captured by Yang Ze and wanted to frame him for collusion with the enemy. How could he afford this crime? It was not his head loss, but his whole family and the whole clan would lose his head!

Yang Ze was not in the mansion at this time. He went outside the city to meet Tuluhun's merchants. Since the business of tea bricks and butter tea began, the number of Tuluhun's tribes needed gradually increased. At first, it was just the nobles who drank tea, but now even ordinary people are addicted to drinking it. For the herdsmen of the grassland tribe, butter tea and tea bricks are simply great, and they are too helpful to their lives. They almost reached the level of as important as salt. Without tea bricks, life would not be possible.

One is the sudden national teacher and the other is the generous governor. Both of them have identities, so how can they fight each other when they meet?
