Yi Yutang was placed at Doctor Bai's place.

His broken bones are just being repaired and he cannot move.

Needless to say, I will have to recuperate for about a month before I can go home.

In order to make it easier for him to learn how to refine medicine and pills, the old man and his grandson Xiaoyu also stayed with him.

At first, Yi Mingxue was worried that Yi Yutang would not be used to it.

Who would have known that there are many medical books and medicines in Doctor Bai's medical cottage, as well as complete medicine refining tools.

As soon as Yi Yutang got in, he was like a fish in water.

Had a great time.

However, he currently doesn't know much about reading. He mainly learns by looking at picture books or real objects, and then listening to the elders' dictation.

Yi Mingxue simply found a literate boy near Doctor Bai's house and asked him to teach Lao Wu how to read and calligraphy every day.

In order to be able to understand more advanced medical books, Yi Yutang himself strongly agreed with his eldest sister's decision.

It should be warm and nourished here.

After settling down the fifth child, Yi Mingxue was invited to go to Magistrate Zhu's house.

Different from the atmosphere in Yuehua Building that day, today is a business-like occasion.

In addition to Master Chang, whom he had met before, there were several more people in Magistrate Zhu's study.

Among them are Lin Yicheng and his son Lin Jinghong.

Before Yi Mingxue entered, she heard Lin Yicheng talking.

"I know Yi Mingxue. She is just an ordinary rural girl. Does she have any special background?"

Lin Jinghong also added, "Yes. Now it seems that she deliberately approached my second sister just for this matter. It's just that my father ignored her, but she got on Miss Zhu's line. This woman

Really thoughtful."

When Yi Mingxue heard what the father and son said, her expression darkened.

She originally thought that her move was a proactive gift of money, and with the endorsement of the Chu family, the probability of it happening was very high.

Unexpectedly, two Cheng Yaojins were killed on the way.

Magistrate Zhu had a headache due to the quarrel between Lin Yicheng and his son. He turned to Master Chang and asked, "Did you go to the Chu family secret post to find out anything?"

Master Chang also felt miserable: "The Chu family's secret sentry was very tight, and I was not able to see the principal. But for your sake, they have passed the matter on to you, and I think they will reply to you soon."

"

"Alas!" Mr. Zhu slapped an official document heavily on the desk.

"This is a document sent from the top. The decree was issued faster than expected. It seems that Kyoto is really in a hurry and this matter can no longer be delayed."

Lin Jinghong looked at Mr. Zhu's face and said puzzledly, "For such a big matter, the imperial court must have allocated enough money. At worst, we will have to ask the governor for it."

When Lin Yichen heard this, he quickly winked at his son.

But Master Chang heard a cold snort, "Who is here, do you think this money is so easy to get?"

Lin Jinghong is young and energetic, and outspoken. He blurts out the words that come to his lips on the spot.

"How dare he embezzle such an important amount of money?"

Lin Yicheng really regretted bringing him here today. He was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "Shut up!"

Yi Mingxue walked in at this time.

She first saluted Lord Zhu, then nodded to Master Chang and others.

He took advantage of the situation and said, "You don't have to worry about money. I can take care of it for you."

Magistrate Zhu actually relaxed for a moment.

It would be great if someone is willing to offer the money at this time. Isn't it just the traffic jurisdiction? Just give it to her.

Any action she takes must have her consent.

There is no way he could go beyond himself and do something outrageous.

So, he asked tentatively, "Miss Yi, can I ask, what do you want to do with our Huzhou County's road jurisdiction?"

Yi Mingxue had already guessed that he would ask these questions, but it was not like she wanted to do anything shameful.

So he said directly on the spot, "To be honest with you, although my Yi family car dealership is running smoothly now, in addition to transporting people, I also want to transport goods. And Huzhou County is my starting point and base, so naturally I want to have full authority

It’s in your own hands.”

Although those here have actively chosen to be stupid officials, few of them are truly stupid.

Mr. Zhu stroked his beard and said, "Do you want to be the sole leader of the family?"

Yi Mingxue smiled brightly and bowed her hands in acquiescence.

"Then...how can you guarantee that you will not use this right to do things that harm the county government and the rights and interests of the people in the county?"

"Sir, this traffic jurisdiction is called "power". In fact, you know that it is just a small right to manage the traffic in the past. The road tax and the tax on the passing stations are still paid to the Yi Cheng.

I even have to pay and contribute to the management and maintenance of the county's roads. I'm afraid Lin Yicheng has long wanted to leave this job to others."

After saying that, she looked at Lin Yicheng standing aside with a smile.

"You think I am right, Mr. Lin."

When Lin Yicheng was called by her name, he coughed dryly on the spot.

The thoughts in his heart are written on his face, but he dare not reveal his true feelings in front of his leader.

He immediately turned around and said to Magistrate Zhu, "Your Excellency, it is clear that although the jurisdiction over the road is a troublesome matter, I have no intention of slacking off at all."

Magistrate Zhu was not willing to listen to him at this time.

He knows best the virtues of his subordinates.

What Yi Mingxue said is not entirely correct, but most of it is the truth.

Those responsible for regulating traffic are also responsible for maintaining and repairing official roads, which in itself is a time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive matter.

But, once she has this right.

She has the final say as to who can run business on this road and who can set up inns where.

Of course, as far as the county government is concerned, as long as it pays enough taxes every year and doesn't let the people come around every day to beat drums and cause trouble, it's fine.

He even got rid of the troublesome matter of maintaining official channels.

It was also because Magistrate Zhu had figured out this clue that he summoned Yi Mingxue before getting a reply from the Chu family's secret sentry.

In fact, he had already made up his mind.

It's just that Qinglin Jinghong was stunned but still couldn't understand Shangfeng's thoughts.

As soon as he heard that the county magistrate wanted to hand over the jurisdiction of his father's road to Yi Mingxue, he immediately objected without thinking.

"Sir, no! Regardless of the unknown identity of this woman, she is just a mere woman, how can she take on such a big responsibility?!"

Magistrate Zhu was so noisy that his brain ached.

Yi Mingxue was a little speechless, "Why, isn't Mr. Lin's mother a woman? A woman can give birth to a man like you, so how can she not bear the right to travel?"

"How can this be the same?" Lin Jinghong argued, "As a woman, she should take care of her husband and raise her children at home, and keep in mind the three obediences and four virtues. Wouldn't it be ridiculous to come to manage the important affairs of a party?"

Oops, what a pedantic straight man.

Yi Mingxue said in her heart.

Just as he was about to start a counterattack, servants came to report from outside.

"Sir, someone from the Chu family is here."
