When the person guarding the gate heard that the letter was from Linshe County, his first reaction was to drive the person away. After all, this was the residence of the Grand Tutor, and there were so many people who wanted to visit or deliver letters every day, but Grand Tutor Wei was also very busy, so it was impossible for him to receive letters or visiting cards from everyone.

But the messenger's words, "The messenger said that as long as we report that it is a letter from Linshe County, Grand Tutor Wei will definitely accept it," made the gatekeeper change his mind.

He suddenly remembered that the Grand Tutor seemed to have instructed that if there was any news from Cangzhou or Linshe County, it must be reported to him.

So he hurriedly took the letter and walked towards the main courtyard.

Today, Grand Tutor Wei is unemployed at home, so you can give the letter directly to him.

In the main courtyard, Wei Mingyuan and his wife Wei were sitting in the yard drinking tea and chatting.

It is September now, and the weather in the north has begun to get a little cooler. Today the sun is shining brightly, and it feels warm on people. It is very comfortable to drink tea and chat in the yard in such weather.

Soon a servant came to report that someone from Linshe County had delivered a letter.

Upon hearing this, Wei Mingyuan immediately put down his teacup and said, "Let me see."

After the servant handed him the letter, he immediately opened it and took a look. After reading it, he couldn't help but laugh, stroking his beard. Then he said happily to Wei: "He is indeed worthy of being Ning Yi's son. Jinshu will definitely be more powerful than his father in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wei asked curiously, "My husband, was this letter sent by someone?"

"No," Wei Mingyuan shook his head and said, "Madam, please see for yourself."

After saying that, he handed the letter to Wei.

Wei took the letter and read it for a moment. After reading it, she smiled and said, "The magistrate of Linshe County must have received a signal from Jinshu to send the letter, right?"

Otherwise, a county magistrate who had no connection with them would not have rashly written such a letter.

In this letter, apart from expressing County Magistrate Feng's admiration for Wei Mingyuan, the rest is almost all praising He Jinshu's talents and his recent contributions to the people, Wujia Village and Shenjia Village.

At the same time, in order to avoid being caught, County Magistrate Feng also said that he wrote this letter only because he had admired Grand Tutor Wei very much many years ago, so he couldn't help but want to share this good thing that benefits the country and the people with Grand Tutor Wei.

At the same time, he also requested that Master Wei, considering how much he respected him, give him a few of his own books so that he could read and study them.

Upon hearing this, Wei Mingyuan said, "It's almost right."

After saying that, he sighed again: "After ten years, Jinshu finally lived up to everyone's expectations."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wei nodded slightly, and then a kind smile appeared on her face.

After saying that, Wei Mingyuan called the servant over and said to him, "When Qingcheng comes back in the evening, ask him to come to my study."

Since He Jinshu instructed County Magistrate Feng to deliver this letter specially, County Magistrate Feng must have also reported the matter to His Majesty. However, he has not heard any news about such an important matter in the past few days. It is understandable that someone may have deliberately suppressed it.

Since that's the case, he might as well lend a hand to make this matter more interesting.

Five days later, the results of the imperial examination would be announced. After looking at the list, Wenfeng rented a carriage and went home.

When Wenfeng returned to Wujia Village, a rumor was circulating in the capital and surrounding towns: "Have you heard? I heard that Cangzhou's rice yields 800 kilograms per mu."

The wheat and rice yields in Dongliguo are similar, basically 200-400 kilograms, depending on the weather.

Although the output of 800 kilograms is the output of rice, this figure is really astonishing and cannot but surprise people.

Some believed it, while others did not. For this reason, the dispute over rice production intensified and was later heard by some students and children of officials. The news eventually reached the ears of His Majesty.

Because of this incident, there was quite a stir in the court. However, He Jinshu and the others did not know what happened in the capital. But after Wenfeng came back, everyone in his family knew that he had failed the imperial examination.

After learning about this, He Jinshu was not surprised at all, but rather expected it.

Grandma He and the others didn't say anything about this. They knew it wouldn't be easy for He Jinshu to pass the exam. Before he married Chen Chen, He Jinshu was lucky to be able to keep his life.

Now that he has married Chen Zhen, they can be more assured about his safety. As for not passing the exam this year, they can just take it again in a few years.

Only Chen Chen said indignantly after hearing this: "Ah Shu, those people must have done something wrong, otherwise with your ability you would definitely not have failed the exam."

He Jinshu patted his head upon hearing this, and then said, "It's okay, let them be arrogant for a few more years, and then we will go to the capital to fight them again in a few years."

"We have to fight. Starting tomorrow, I will expand our business. When you suppress them in the officialdom, I will suppress them in business, leaving them with no money and no power. Let's see what capital they have to bully others." Chen Chen said with hatred.

"Okay." He Jinshu said with a faint smile.

A few days later, County Magistrate Feng came to the house. He also knew that He Jinshu had failed the imperial examination, but he did not ask much. He came mainly to discuss with He Jinshu the construction planning of Linshe County.

Now that the road from the county seat to Fengyuan Town has been completed, he felt extremely comfortable walking here, and even the travel time was shortened by 1/3.

In the study, County Magistrate Feng said to He Jinshu, "Mr. He, besides increasing production, do you have any good suggestions for increasing the income of the people in Linshe County?"

"You need to ask Ah Zhen about this." He Jinshu said lightly.

Due to the inherent ideas of ancient times, County Magistrate Feng felt that it was inappropriate for his brother to participate in the discussion of serious matters. However, he also knew the position of Chen Zhen in He Jinshu's heart. Moreover, the business of Wujia Village was built up by Chen Zhen.

This fully demonstrated that Chen Zhen had some talent in doing business, so he asked He Jinshu to call people over and discuss the matter together.

Chen Zhen was originally playing with his two sons outside, but when he heard He Jinshu calling him, he carried the two children into the study.

After hearing County Magistrate Feng's request, Chen Chen said bluntly, "This is easy. We can make some of Linshe County's unique products into food or daily necessities, and then sell them to other counties."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Feng said, "I wonder what these special things that Brother Shen is talking about are referring to?"

He has been in Linshe County for so long, but he really doesn't know what can be made and sold.

"Yes, a lot." Chen Chen said confidently, "Things like fruits, herbs, flowers, walnuts, etc. can all be sold!"
