BHBF Chapter 86.2

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 86.2: Playful Son (62)

Shao Yu helped them to think more divergently, and their thoughts immediately began to shift away from Suzhou embroidery, or even these people.

“My grandfather is a bodyguard, and my mother is also good at martial arts. She can teach us how to defend ourselves.” A girl suggested.

“My mother is good at Shu embroidery.” Another girl said immediately.

With so much discussion, many classes were opened and many people were attracted to join.

The girls no longer have to worry about the teacher. As for the students, many girls nearby want to come to this class, but due to Xiao Han’s limited energy, she has never accepted too many people, so she is not worried about students at all.

As for the elders in the family, some of the male elders were opposed, but the female elders were all envious of Xiao Han. Now with Shao Yu’s endorsement, they were going to write a formal letter of authorization to the girls, so they were not afraid of opposition from their family.

If Shao Yu continued to be demoted, then this letter of appointment would naturally be useless. However, Shao Yu was promoted after returning to the capital this time, and everyone was eager to curry favor with him, so why would they go against Shao Yu?

Moreover, under Shao Yu’s transformation, Qingning County is no longer the same Qingning County as before.

When the Shao family came, they traveled light, and when they left, they still didn’t take much with them.

None of the large pieces of furniture purchased in Qingning County were taken away. Those that could be used by the college were given to the college first, and those that could not be used by the college were distributed to neighbors.

When the Shao family came, they were reluctant, but when they left, they were extremely reluctant to leave.

The three children all looked depressed. After all, they had taught many good friends here. Only Ah Hei had a look of reluctance to leave his hometown and a longing for the capital.

Ah Hei has only one mother in his family. She suffered from goiter many years ago. Shao Yu helped her cure the disease. This time, she also went to the capital with her son.

The magic stone that was painstakingly searched for in Shenshi Village was found by Shao Yu in the old house of the Wu family after the accident of Lord Wu. He thought that there was something special about the stone, but in fact it just had a relatively high iodine content.

The people of Shenshi Village originally didn’t want to go down the mountain, but after Ah Hei went down the mountain, every time he returned home, he would keep describing the beauty of the mountain to the people in the village.

Over time, the young people in the house also became wild in heart.

The old patriarch was determined to defend the mountains, but he could not withstand their pleas. In the end, although not all the young people in the village moved down the mountain, most of the young people came down the mountain and settled down at the foot of the mountain with the help of Shao Yu.

During these three years, Qingning County has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The originally dilapidated and moss-covered city walls have now been completely renovated. The streets are no longer cluttered and are regularly cleaned by people, making them look clean and tidy. Anyone who has been to Qingning County will be amazed at the tremendous changes that have taken place in Qingning.

In the past three years, Shao Yu has visited every river in Qingning, changing river courses, paving roads and building bridges. The focus of Shao Yu’s work has always been these infrastructures.

A new bulletin board was also set up in the city. Whenever there was a government decree, it would be announced on the board. Literate people were also invited to stand under the bulletin board to explain the decree to the illiterate people.

In the past, even tax collection was chaotic. Now, tax policies are clearly written on bulletin boards, and it is rare to see cases of arbitrary tax collection due to lack of information.

Taxation was a decree of the imperial court, and Shao Yu was unable to change it. He could only try his best to help the people find more income and let them pay taxes under a very fair condition.

Although Qingning County is a small county, its products are quite rich. However, Lingnan is mountainous and full of miasma, so the products there are difficult to transport out. With the endorsement of the Qingning County Government, Shao Yu established a professional caravan dedicated to transporting supplies.

The fruits in the mountains were sold outside continuously. For the fruits that could not be sold immediately, Shao Yu organized and built a fruit processing factory to make the unsold fruits into candied fruits and sell them to various places.

Shao Yu also set up various planting bases and taught the planting techniques to the people free of charge. Even if people from neighboring counties came to learn, Shao Yu did not keep them to himself and taught them all patiently.

By the time Shao Yu’s term of office expired, various manufacturing plants and planting bases built outside the city had already provided nearly a thousand jobs.

The people of Qingning County now plant medicinal herbs instead of flowers in front of their houses, and they also build special huts behind their houses to grow mushrooms.

Most women in Qingning County can speak with their heads held high. After all, there are more things they can do nowadays, and they are the main force in the work, bringing money home just like men.

Women go out like men and often get together, so naturally they can’t help but talk about family matters. It’s also obvious at a glance who goes out with an injury.

Those who were injured originally wanted to endure it, but there were always a few women with bad tempers among the women, and when they gathered together, they were more united than before. With the help of their peers, few people really wanted to be punched in the face.

After this happened several times, Shao Yu stepped in to mediate. The women were unexpectedly united, and coupled with Shao Yu’s clear-cut attitude, even the most violent men did not dare to hit their wives. The atmosphere in the entire Qingning County became clearer.

Originally, no one thought that Shao Yu could change anything. Even the former County Lieutenant Jiang , now Lord Jiang, thought that Shao Yu’s overthrow of Lord Wu was already a remarkable political achievement. However, everything Shao Yu did afterwards made him even more surprised.

Shao Yu changed Qingning County, and Qingning County changed the entire Lingnan. Qingning County changed from an ordinary small county in Lingnan to the richest county in Lingnan today. Other counties have learned from Qingning County.

Even if you don’t learn the essence, but just learn the basics, it can still increase income for ordinary people.

For a time, the entire Lingnan was learning from Qingning County.

When Shao Yu and his family left at this time, almost all the people came out to see them off. An old man of high moral character personally handed the “Wanmin Umbrella” to Shao Yu. Every citizen held fruits and vegetables in their hands, and they all gave these to Shao Yu sincerely.

Not only are they grateful for the changes Shao Yu has brought to Qingning County, many of them have also received free medical treatment from him. It can even be said that Shao Yu is their lifesaver.

Shao Yu’s gaze swept across the faces of all the people who were seeing him off, and then he saw Wei Ran standing in the crowd with a few young children standing beside her.

Those children were orphans adopted by Wei Ran.

After Wei Yuan was imprisoned, Shao Yu awarded all the Wei family’s original property back to Wei Ran. Wei Ran cheered herself up and removed the poison from her body. However, she did not find the true descendants of the Jiayi clan, so she turned to doing good deeds. She did not remarry, but has adopted dozens of homeless children.

Shao Yu nodded slightly at her, and Wei Ran bowed to him from a distance.

No one knew who started it, but the people knelt down one after another, begging Shao Yu to take the things in their hands.

Shao Yu only accepted the Wanmin Umbrella and did not accept anything else. Shao Yu urged them to get up, but they were unwilling to do so.

Shao Yu didn’t want to see them kneeling all the time, nor did he want everyone to be shrouded in sadness and sorrow, so he turned around and left without saying anything else.

Until Shao Yu’s carriage disappeared at the end of the road, the people remained where they were.

Qingning was originally ignored, but after Shao Yu’s development, it has become a piece of fat meat that everyone is vying for.

But Shao Yu had worked so hard to develop this place to its current state, and he was afraid that outsiders would come and make comments. The old emperor accepted Shao Yu’s proposal and promoted Lord Jiang as the new Qingning County Magistrate.

AlthoughCounty Magistrate Jiang is not good at pioneering, he is good at maintaining the status quo. And because he is a juren, unless there are major accidents, the end of his official career will be the county magistrate.

But the current Qingning County is an accident. If he can maintain the situation in Qingning, he may have the possibility of making further progress.

When Shao Yu’s carriage was halfway along the journey, it was suddenly stopped by someone.

Ah Hu, with scars all over his face, and his wife whose eyes had been healed, were waiting for Shao Yu’s carriage on the roadside.

“Sir, Ah Hu once promised that as long as you can cure my wife’s eyes, I will work like a slave to repay you.” Ah Hu said.

His wife’s eyes had been cured by Shao Yu long ago, and Ah Hu also went to find Shao Yu.

At that time, Shao Yu had no shortage of servants, so he arranged for him to join the caravan that transported supplies from Qingning.

Ah Hu is good at Kung Fu and performs well in the caravan.

He was highly valued and after making several contributions, he is now able to lead a team on his own.

The current boss of the caravan values him very much and even intends to let him take over.

“Are you determined to follow me?” Shao Yu asked.

Ah Hu said, “I am a real man. I said I would serve you like a slave, and I will always follow you.”

“Are you willing to give up everything in the caravan? Are you willing to leave your hometown with your wife?” Shao Yu asked.

If Ah Hu stayed in his hometown and had a promising job, it would actually be much more stable than following Shao Yu to the capital and facing all the unknowns.

“I’m reluctant, but since I’ve promised, I must do it.” Although Ah Hu was reluctant, his attitude was very firm.

His wife, standing by, also gently supported her husband.

Shao Yu finally nodded.

The carriage continued to move forward, and at the next post station, Fang Ye and his family were waiting for Shao Yu there.

Shao Yu was going to the capital to take up a position, and Fang Ye also returned to Beijing after being promoted. The two families agreed to travel together.

They had been in Lingnan for the past three years, and the two families have had frequent interactions, and the children of the two families are very familiar with each other.

Shao Jiashan became a little nervous when he saw the eldest daughter of the Fang family.

When the eldest lady saw him, she also blushed.

Shao Jiashan didn’t think anything was wrong at first, but he didn’t know where he heard that he became like this after his family arranged for him to marry Fang Yurou, the eldest daughter of the Fang family.

The two are now nineteen and seventeen years old, both of them are old enough to talk about marriage, but the elders of both families have tacitly not mentioned their marriage.

Fang Ye was originally anxious, but Shao Yu persuaded him that it would be easier for a woman to have children and raise them up if she got married at the age of 18. Fang Ye also thought of the fact that he already had an eldest son, but his wife was young at that time, so he lost the child. So he believed what Shao Yu said.

The elders of both families saw the two children’s expressions every time they met, so they tacitly agreed to the marriage and would only ask the question one last time when they were old enough. Now the time has come.

When Shao Jiashan heard Shao Yu’s question, his cheeks immediately turned red and he stammered for a long time without knowing what to say.

“If you don’t want to, then I will refuse.” Shao Yu teased him deliberately.

Xiao Han on the side couldn’t help but laugh.

Shao Jiashan was anxious and immediately said, “Yes, I do.”

Shao Yu laughed and said, “Boys should be more proactive. If you like someone, you like them. If you don’t like someone, you don’t like them. Don’t be so awkward. You won’t be afraid that the girl you like will be snatched away by someone else.”

Shao Jiashan hurriedly asked, “Rob? Who wants to rob?”
