Returning to Ping'an County, Jia Huan first inspected the area and found that everything in Ping'an County was safe and sound, so he felt relieved.

In the six months since Jia Huan came to Pingan County, the look of Pingan County has also changed.

Needless to say, major aristocratic families, at the end of the year, Jia Huan made a dividend distribution.

After calculation, they can get almost 10,000 taels of silver per month.

Although the money they received has not yet been repaid, after all, the family spent one hundred thousand taels of silver when they bought shares.

But now there is a profit of more than 10,000 silver in one month. In less than a year, not only the investment is fully recovered, but also a small profit.

From now on, everything will be pure profit. How can you not like these fourteen aristocratic families?

Even the major businesses in Ping'an County have all caught up with this spring breeze and are making a lot of money.

Even the people of Ping'an County are getting more work opportunities.

As businesses in Ping'an County become more and more prosperous, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not have to worry about finding something to do.

Today's wages are rising.

Faced with this great situation, instead of relaxing, Jia Huan became more vigilant.

The energy of the conservative is so great that he has to be cautious.

Next, Jia Huan decided to pay close attention to the security issues in Ping'an County.

Time passes day by day, and it’s February before we know it.

The spring breeze brings warmth and everything revives.

In February, it was also the day of the annual county examination.

In Jia Mansion, Jia Lan was surrounded by a group of people and sent to the examination room.

Jia Lan's treatment is much better than that of Jia Huan.

The first session of the county examination was completed quickly.

But this time, the Jia family also had experience.

There was no joke like Jia Huan did during the last exam.

At that time, Mrs. Wang sent a boy from the Wang family to look at the results, but he didn't see Jia Huan's name, and because no one reported the good news, he mistakenly thought that Jia Huan had failed the exam.

Now they already know that in the first test of the county examination, the seat numbers are posted, and even if they pass the first test, no one comes to report the good news.

As a result, Jia Lan was admitted in the first exam, and Jia's mother was extremely happy.

Lian said that the Jia family had another reading seed, which really made Jia Lan very curious.

He even had to take Jialan with him to train him personally.

However, although Jia Lan is young, he is somewhat like his uncle Jia Huan.

After passing the first exam, not only did I not feel happy at all, but I felt ashamed because I didn't get the first place in the exam.

And he decisively rejected Jia Mu, saying that he would still study hard.

Jia's mother didn't feel dissatisfied, but praised him for his hard work in studying, and he was already a bit like Huan Ge'er.

In the next four rounds of exams, Jia Lan passed all the tests and finally passed the county exam with a score of fifteen.

This time, the messenger came to Jia's house beating gongs and drums. Jia's mother was so happy that she ordered a heavy reward.

Also passing the exam along with Jia Lan was Qin Keqing's younger brother Qin Jingqing. His ranking was actually three places higher than Jia Lan's, and he passed the exam 12th.

In Jialan High School, everyone in Rongguo Mansion was beaming with joy.

Of course, not everyone is happy.

Among them, Mrs. Wang was not happy, she only felt it was noisy.

The joy was someone else's and she had nothing.

Years ago, Baoyu was beaten up by his father because he was tricked by that evil beast Jia Huan, and it took him a month to nurse him back to health.

At that time, Mrs. Wang was actually somewhat resentful towards Jia Zheng.

But now, she suddenly felt that it was a good fight!

First it was Jia Huan, that evil beast, and now it’s Jia Lan’s turn.

If by then even Jialan is admitted to be a scholar and then passed the examination, he may even be admitted to the imperial examination in the future.

And if she still fails the Baoyu test, she will really become a joke to the entire Rongguo Mansion.

In the past, those who were born with a jade in their mouth and were smart and cute have become a joke.

At this time, Mrs. Wang only hated her treasure for not living up to expectations.

It was only then that Mrs. Wang felt that maybe she and the old lady had doted on Baoyu too much in the past, and it might be right for the master to hit him.

The next day, the good news letter written by Jia Lan and Qin Keqing personally to Jia Huan was sent to Jia Huan.

After learning the news, Jia Huan was also very happy.

These two are both good, and it’s worth teaching them personally.

The county has tried it, and the next two exams should not be a big problem for them.

This year, these two people may pass three quizzes and become scholars.

All we can say is that there is not much time left for Baoyu.

Unknowingly, the Qingming Festival has passed and the time has come to Grain Rain.

Before and after Grain Rain, melons and beans are planted.

In the following time, Jia Huan sent people to keep an eye on the fourteen aristocratic families.

These fourteen aristocratic families promised him that each family would allocate at least one thousand acres of land to grow sweet potatoes, corn and peanuts.

In order to promote these three new crops on a large scale and promote the two-year and three-crop farming model in the north, Jia Huan regards this work as the focus of this year's work.

Those aristocratic families originally thought that the magistrate was just mentioning it casually, but they never thought that the magistrate was actually serious.

Although they are reluctant to grow these three crops.

But with the county magistrate watching over them, they had no choice but to devote a thousand acres of land to start planting these three new crops.

Time flies so fast, March comes and goes in the blink of an eye.

The weather is gradually getting hotter, and it’s April in a blink of an eye.

In April, the day of the government examination came, and the Jia family began to be busy again.

Lang Geer and Qin Jingqing began the second level of the scholar examination, the government examination.

This time, the two passed the test calmly again.

After passing this level, they are students. As long as you pass the final college examination, you will be awarded the title of scholar.

A few days later, Jia Huan once again received good news from the two of them.

Jia Huan was so happy that he gave them gifts respectively and encouraged them to study hard and keep up their efforts to pass the exam in one go.



After the government examination, time quickly entered May.

By May, the apricots begin to turn yellow and the wheat begins to ripen.

Next, Jia Huan sent people to start staring at the people of the aristocratic family.

Watching them organize people to harvest the wheat, and after harvesting the wheat, they sent people to keep an eye on them. Each family dedicated at least a thousand acres of land to plant corn, sweet potatoes and peanuts.

These fourteen aristocratic families, because they had promised in advance, had no choice but to accompany the county magistrate to go crazy at this time.

I had to organize people to plant three crops immediately after harvesting the wheat.

And the people of the entire Ping'an County were curiously watching the jokes of these fourteen aristocratic families.

Farms grow in their own seasons.

Before and after Grain Rain, melons and beans are planted.

It's already May. If you start farming again, wouldn't it be three minutes too late? How can there still be a harvest?

Could it be that people from these aristocratic families have funny brains?

Also, even if they have a good harvest, the things they grow are of little use.

These things are just fresh to eat. Where can you eat so much?
