At the gate of the county government office, Zhao Jun and Pan Daning had not stood there for long when someone ran out.

The middle-aged man, about forty years old, looks very ordinary.

"Lord Zhao, Magistrate Pan, I didn't know you were coming. I apologize for not coming to greet you."

The man bowed respectfully.

Pan Daning was obviously very familiar with him and introduced him immediately.

"This is Yan Li, the magistrate of Xiayuan County."

Zhao Jun nodded.

Yan Li smiled and led the two into the door.

"There's no need to be so nervous, County Magistrate Yan. Lord Zhao is very approachable."

Pan Daning looked at Yan Li who was clenching his hands tightly and joked with a smile.

Yan Li stroked his forehead and said with a smile.

"It's just that Lord Zhao has become so famous in Ba County lately. This is my first time meeting him in person, so I'm inevitably nervous."

As he spoke, he stole a glance at Zhao Jun who was sitting above him.

I don't know what this bold and decisive Lord Zhao wants to do with him.

I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, how can I not be uneasy.

"There's no need for this, County Magistrate Yan. We came to Xiayuan County this time to ask for a favor."

"I dare not, I dare not ask for anything. I will do whatever you ask, sir."

When she said that, Yan Li quickly waved his hands, looking frightened.

Zhao Jun glanced at Pan Daning.

He understood and told Yan Li the purpose of his visit.

"Well, the kiln was closed down in compliance with the order of the prefecture. If Lord Zhao wants to reopen the kiln now, then of course I have no objection."

"It's just that the state and county..."

Yan Li pretended to be embarrassed and pushed the risk to Zhao Jun.

Zhao Jun lowered his eyes, picked up the tea beside him and took a sip.

County Magistrate Yan has a lot of little tricks up his sleeve, but you can't blame him.

"It doesn't matter what happens in the state or county. Just listen to me."

The earthen kiln was closed many years ago, and Zhu Lin probably doesn't even know about it.

Besides, she is the highest official in the entire Ba County.

"Okay, then I will definitely follow Lord Zhao's orders."

Yan Li felt much more at ease after hearing her words.

"Then I will send out the notice now?"

Yan Li asked.

"Well, go post the notice now and recruit craftsmen who can make earthenware."

Zhao Jun nodded in reply.

Just as Yan Li was about to go out and tell someone to do it, he suddenly turned around and came back.

"Sir, I have a question. This kiln has been temporarily reopened to allow you to customize a few items. These craftsmen are also being recruited for a short period of time. Are these craftsmen no longer needed once the items you want are made?"

Zhao Jun was silent for a moment.

"Start with short-term recruitment, but add one more sentence at the end."

She put down the teacup and looked into the distance.

After that, Yan Li quickly went out to prepare to post the notice.

After seeing him leave, Pan Daning spoke to Zhao Jun embarrassedly.

"Yan Li has a lot of concerns, but he is indeed a good official who works for the benefit of the people. You must not take him seriously."

"Of course I won't. It's normal for him to be an official. It's rare for someone like you to be an official."

She laughed and joked, not caring at all.

"County Magistrate Pan, let's go to Xiayuan County first. I don't think we can go back for a day or two."

The issue of the earthen kiln must be resolved.

Zhao Jun gave himself five days to resolve all this in Xiayuan County.

Zhao Jun and Pan Daning still had the mood to travel around Xiayuan County.

But the people of Xiayuan County were in chaos at this time.

Because the county government’s notice was posted.

"Reopen the earthen kiln and recruit short-term firing craftsmen?"

The people of Xiayuan County gathered around the notice and talked about it in a flurry.

"Look at this last sentence."

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, and many people jumped directly to the end to watch.

: If the firing effect this time is ideal, the earthen kiln may be reopened for a long time.

In the crowd, several people looked at each other and quietly retreated.

Once this notice was released, the people of Xiayuan County soon knew the news.

Zhao Jun was still touring Xiayuan County with Pan Daning.

"Hey, Magistrate Pan, doesn't Xiayuan County have a river? There are no fish in their county during the fishing season, so why do they have to go to Jiangyuan County to exchange them?"

Pan Daning was a little anxious.

The notice has been issued and the news has spread everywhere, so why hasn't the adult taken any action?

He answered absentmindedly.

"Although Xiayuan County is also in the lower reaches of the Changyuan River, it is only a small tributary of the Changyuan River. The fish do not pass through here but follow the main stream directly downstream."

"I see."

The two continued to wander along the river.

Seeing her leisurely look, Pan Daning finally couldn't help but ask.

"Sir, the news has spread everywhere. Shouldn't we go back and take a look? We also need your approval to recruit craftsmen. And as for Mr. Lu's matter, we should also talk to him about it."

There are so many things to do, please stop wandering around.

Zhao Jun glanced at him with a faint smile.

"Don't be so anxious. You should always give others some time to think about it."

"Tomorrow, we'll deal with this matter tomorrow."

After saying that, she walked forward on her own, leaving Pan Daning alone to sigh.

At this time, Yan Li was waiting at the county government office for earthenware craftsmen to come and register, but half a day passed and no one came.

This is not right. There were many craftsmen in Xiayuan County who could make paper clay pottery.

Even if twenty years have passed and my skills have become rusty, it shouldn't be that no one comes. That's not right.

All the earthenware craftsmen that Yan Li was talking about were now gathered at Uncle Lu's house.
