Nanzezhou is not far from Yi'an Prefecture, but Nanzezhou is not a small state capital like Yi'an Prefecture. Nanzezhou is three times as big as Yi'an Prefecture.
Yi'an Prefecture is just the most common lower state, a relatively poor and remote state, while Nanzezhou is a wealthy upper state.
I have to say that the benefit Dong Guan offered was not very to Zhao Yanhuan's liking.
Seeing that Zhao Yanhuan really liked him, Dong Guan stroked his beard and said to Zhao Yanhuan with a smile: "Go back and prepare yourself. His Majesty's decree to confer you the title of Lord Nanze will be issued in three days."
Zhao Yanhuan saluted Dong Guan again and expressed his gratitude. Dong Guan was also very satisfied with Zhao Yanhuan's attitude.
After separating from Dong Guan, Zhao Yanhuan was so excited that he stayed up all night. He really couldn't sleep. It was late at night and Zhao Yanhuan called over Peng Zufeng and Yu Zi, who were in charge of the Liuli Shop in the capital.
Then he got the two of them to make plans. Next, not only glazed shops would be opened in the capital, but also candy shops and beauty salons.
Zhao Yanhuan decided to hand over the candy shop to Peng Zufeng. It happened that Liuli Shop opened only every few months, and Peng Zufeng could take over the management of the candy shop.
Because the beauty salon specializes in women's business, it is suitable for Yu Zi to manage it.
Zhao Yanhuan planned to find some girls from Qipai Village to serve as beauty salon attendants, responsible for beautifying the ladies.
We also need to cultivate a group of skilled people who are responsible for learning makeup skills, ensuring that after applying makeup, people can be reborn as if they have a different face...
After this discussion, it was discovered that there were too many things to do. Zhao Yanhuan took Peng Zufeng and Yu Zi to discuss until dawn the next day, and finally came up with a preliminary result.
Three days later, the emperor's imperial edict was issued, conferring Zhao Yanhuan the title of Lord of Nanze. The title of Lord was unique to this dynasty. He was under the Marquis, but he enjoyed the fiefdom and special status. To some extent, he had more real power than the Marquis.
In the beginning, this title was created by a certain unisex emperor of this dynasty for his male lover, so the word "jun" was used in this title to reflect the special nature of the title.
Later, this title gradually became a title used by the emperor to confer ministers he trusted and liked. It was not a formal title, but it had enough benefits, and one could tell that he was the emperor's confidant.
Naturally, Zhao Yanhuan was not the emperor's confidant, but Dong Guan was, so this favor from Lord Nanze was not so much a favor to Zhao Yanhuan as it was the emperor's reward for Dong Guan, his confidant.
After becoming Nanzejun, Zhao Yanhuan can no longer guard the capital. She has to quickly go to Nanzezhou to take up her post. With a fiefdom, she naturally has to manage it well. This is her first territory and it truly belongs to her. of.
Every time she thought of this, Zhao Yanhuan was so excited that she wished she could immediately write a 300,000-word plan to build her first piece of land.
Zhao Yanhuan handed over the candy shop and beauty salon in the capital to Peng Zufeng and Yu Zi. Yu Zi has been trained during this period and is fully capable of taking charge of her own business.
Moreover, Zhao Yanhuan has helped Yu Zi sort out the various regulations of the beauty salon. What to do next depends on Yu Zi. She has too many things to do in the future. She must trust her subordinates for many things and cannot do them all by herself. .
After making arrangements in the capital, Zhao Yanhuan hurried back to Yi'an Prefecture, planning to make arrangements for the situation in Yi'an Prefecture before moving directly to Nanzezhou.
Next, her sugar factory and cosmetics factory will be built in Nanzezhou, and Nanzezhou will be established as her base camp.
Of course, whether it is Qipai Village, the initial place, or Yi'an Prefecture, Zhao Yanhuan will not give up. In the future, she will capture both of these places.
However, before going to Nanzezhou, Zhao Yanhuan did not make any preparations. She arranged for July to conduct a thorough investigation of the local snakes in Nanzezhou.
Nanzezhou is different from Yi'an Prefecture. Yi'an Prefecture is remote and small, and aristocratic families don't look down on it at all, so there are no aristocratic families. However, Nanzezhou is Shangzhou and has always been prosperous.
Therefore, there are aristocratic families occupying Nanzezhou. Although she is the nominal boss of Nanzezhou, it is not easy to compete with these aristocratic families for territory.
But one advantage is that as Nanzejun, Zhao Yanhuan has the power to appoint and remove all officials in Nanzezhou, including the governor of Nanzezhou, and she can replace them with her own people.
Therefore, Zhao Yanhuan only asked Qi Qi to check the status of private soldiers of the wealthy families in Nanzezhou. There was no further investigation. The only purpose was to see if he could defeat these wealthy families.
If he can't beat him, forget it. He will hold back for a while. But if he can beat him, Zhao Yanhuan will be ready to push him away with force. Anyway, she doesn't have a good impression of the aristocratic family and doesn't want to bow to these things that exploit the flesh and blood of the people.
The reason why the aristocratic family has always been so powerful that even the emperor can do nothing about it is because the aristocratic family has a monopoly on the spread of knowledge.
There is no imperial examination in this world, and all officials come from aristocratic families. Even if there are two officials from poor families, they were trained by aristocratic families.
Moreover, the so-called poor family is just a family that has fallen into decline. It no longer has the title of aristocratic family, but in fact it is still a thing of the aristocratic family. It has nothing to do with ordinary people. It is naturally inseparable from the aristocratic family.
Under such circumstances, the aristocratic family is naturally arrogant, because once the aristocratic family goes on strike, even the emperor will have to bow his head, otherwise he will be a bare emperor with no official under his command.
But Zhao Yanhuan is not afraid of this. She opened a school to train students in order to one day replace the officials of the aristocratic family and completely suppress the aristocratic family.
When Zhao Yanhuan returned to Yi'an Prefecture, Wei Yizhe, who had received the news early, had already brought officials of all sizes to greet Zhao Yanhuan.
As Lord Nanze, he naturally had a higher official position than Wei Yizhe's magistrate in this continent. When Wei Yizhe greeted Zhao Yanhuan, he was still rejoicing. Fortunately, although he knew that Dong Guan had fallen, he did not make trouble for Zhao Yanhuan.
Who would have thought that even though he was on death row, Dong Guan could be resurrected in the end, and Zhao Yanhuan, who never abandoned Dong Guan, would get such a huge benefit.
Even Wei Yizhe, who was proud of his family background, couldn't help but be jealous of the benefits Zhao Yanhuan received. That was Lord Nanze, the lord of a continent, who was much better than the governor he had changed in recent years.
Fortunately, after Zhao Yanhuan saw Wei Yizhe, his attitude was as cordial as ever and did not mean to be condescending, which made Wei Yizhe's awkward mood much better.
He was even a little admired. If he hadn't been so tolerant of flattery and valued affection and righteousness, he wouldn't have been able to obtain these benefits. Wei Yizhe asked himself that he couldn't do this. Thinking of this, the jealousy in his heart actually subsided.
After the identity change, although Zhao Yanhuan was as affectionate to Wei Yizhe as ever, Zhao Yanhuan would not continue to do favors.
