Jia Huan felt relieved when he saw that his second sister Yingchun had not been made any trouble to her and that her married life was very happy.
The next day, Jia Huan returned to Ping'an County.
At present, Ping'an County is booming and developing steadily.
And Jia Huan felt that his days staying here were probably numbered.
Because at the end of the year, the triennial plan comes, which is the system of assessing foreign officials in Daxia, and inspections are conducted every three years.
The inspection is divided into eight grades: one is greed, two is cruel, three is impetuous, four is incompetent, five is old, six is sick, seven is lazy and eight is careless.
The punishments include being exiled to the army, serving the people, demoted, and promoted to official positions.
The plan starts from the aspects of public security, people's livelihood, and culture and education. The evaluation scores are divided into nine grades: upper upper, upper middle, upper lower, middle upper, middle middle, middle lower, lower upper, lower middle, and lower lower.
High-ranking people have a high chance of being promoted, while most middle-ranking people will keep their original positions or be promoted.
And low-ranking people have a high chance of being demoted or dismissed from office.
As for Jia Huan, as long as he doesn't make any big mistakes between now and the day of the big plan, he won't get at least a first-class rating.
He will most likely be promoted by then.
Of course, promotion is not necessarily a good thing for him.
It is said that a big tree attracts wind. If he is promoted again, and if he is allowed to control the changes in a county, he will definitely become the target of conservative attacks.
When the time comes, he will feel as if he is walking on thin ice or facing an abyss.
One wrong step and you may end up in ashes.
Therefore, the best way is to step back and get out as soon as possible.
Jia Huan has already figured out how to retreat.
However, before leaving Ping'an County, he decided to do something more for the people of Ping'an County.
After thinking about it for a few days, Jia Huan suddenly thought of a miracle in future generations.
Next, Jia Huan began to order people to buy some seasonings.
Then, he sent someone to invite Xue Pan from the capital.
After learning that Xue Pan had arrived, Jia Huan had someone invite him to the county government house.
After he returned to the back house and met Xue Pan.
Xue Pan was so excited that he couldn't help but stride forward and give Jia Huan a bear hug.
And he said excitedly: "Brother Huan, you finally remembered your brother. After all, if there is anything you can do for me, just ask."
"Walking through water and fire. Even if I were asked to kill people and set fires, I wouldn't even frown."
Looking at Xue Pan who was so excited that he wanted to go out and chop people with two axes right away.
Jia Huan said in a dumbfounded voice: "Brother Xue, I have something to ask you to do, but is this all there? You don't have to go through fire and water."
Xue Pan chuckled and said: "Brother Huan, please tell me what is going on. Since I met you, you have helped me and my family so much. If it weren't for your help, how could my family be as rich as it is now?"
"It's so easy for Brother Huan to take advantage of me. How dare I not try my best? Is that still considered a human being?"
Jia Huan nodded and said, "Brother Xue, it's like this. In order to celebrate the changes, the fourteen major families in Ping'an County decided to invite opera troupes from the capital to sing operas in Ping'an County for a few days."
"But they are not familiar with the oirans in the capital. I am the magistrate of Ping'an County and I came from the capital, so they wanted to get me."
"I just thought of Brother Xue, so I decided to ask Brother Xue to come here. I want to ask Brother Xue to help me with this."
Hearing Jia Huan's words, Xue Pan couldn't help but chuckle and said: "Brother Huan, you are looking for the right person when you come to me for this matter."
"In the capital, when it comes to the details of the big and small courtesan, no one is more familiar with it than me. Brother Huan, do you still remember the top lady in colorful clothes in Baihua Tower that I mentioned to you last time?"
"Now she is the most popular courtesan in the entire capital. As long as we can invite Miss Caiyi here, she will definitely attract the attention of countless dandies in the capital."
"You must know that Miss Caiyi easily refuses to see guests. She will only come out to play a song when she is in a good mood. Meeting her alone is even more difficult than reaching the sky."
Miss Caiyi?
Jia Huan vaguely remembered that Xue Pan did mention it last time.
Jia Huan thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he mentioned it in Chapter 109. This thread was buried a bit deep.
Jia Huan also remembered that at that time, this guy said that Miss Caiyi actually compared with his sister.
Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xue, I remember you mentioned this Miss Caiyi last time."
"You also said at that time that you had never seen Miss Caiyi in person. Since she is so difficult to invite, how could she be invited to Ping'an County?"
Hearing what Jia Huan said, Xue Pan couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Huan, just don't worry, if someone else invites you, they definitely won't be able to come. But as long as it's you, Brother Huan, you'll definitely be here as soon as you invite me."
"I said last time that Miss Caiyi likes Brother Huan's poems and articles the most. As long as Brother Huan writes a note, he will definitely be able to invite people here."
Jia Huan thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll write a letter and Brother Xue will go and give it a try. I'll also invite a few troupes and ask Brother Xue to help me spread the news in the capital."
"I will give Brother Xue some money later. Brother Xue, don't be afraid to spend the money. If it's not enough, you can come back and withdraw it at any time."
Xue Pan immediately said: "Brother Huan, you just look down on me when you say that. You have helped my family so much, and I didn't even say I would give you money to thank you."
"It's so easy for you to ask me to do such a small thing for you now. If you give me money, wouldn't that be degrading me? Don't ever talk about money again."
"Brother Huan, your matter is important. I'll take care of it without further delay."
After that, he ignored Jia Huan's repeated attempts to persuade him to stay, and simply rode back to the capital.
This guy is quite a temperamental person.
In fact, it is just an excuse for the fourteen families to celebrate.
What Jia Huan wants is to attract a large number of people to Pingan County.
After attracting people, he can make the next plan.
Next, Jia Huan fell into busyness.
He first found a street in Ping'an County that was spacious enough, and then began to organize people to build a stage.
And sheds were built one after another in the entire open space.
And next, they ordered people to build iron troughs with strange shapes one after another overnight, and they didn't know what they were used for.
Well, actually these are just barbecue grills.
What Jia Huan wants to leave to Pingan County is barbecue.
Because Jia Huan remembered the legend of Zibo barbecue in later generations.
Jia Huan feels that it can be copied, and even barbecue can become a label of Ping'an County.
The world is not without barbecue, but there really is no delicacy in the form of barbecue.
The reason why Zibo BBQ became popular in later generations was not because of how delicious its barbecue was, but because of its low price, clean and sanitary materials, not to rip off customers, warm service, and giving guests a feeling of being at home.
But Ping'an County is different. As long as Jia Huan starts it, Ping'an County will be the originator of barbecue in this world.
