Chapter 232: Frontier Official
Not long after Northern Yan withdrew its army, it entered the harvest season. The effect of "Song of Pity the Peasants" remained the same, although it was not as good as before in making a county have a bumper harvest. However, during the spring planting period, my talent was enough to write many "Song of Pity the Peasants" in one breath, which was definitely much better than before.

The most important point is that Dongyang Prefecture did not suffer from war or natural disasters. Although the capitals of other prefectures were intact, they were more or less affected, especially when the Northern Yan army deliberately destroyed farmland when they left. Shen Qingzhou's Dongyang Prefecture collected taxes quickly this time, more than in previous years, making it particularly precious.

Correspondingly, Shen Qingzhou also gained a lot.

[Song of Righteousness: The host has brought benefits to the people during his tenure as an official, and the weather has been good, and the people have lived and worked in peace and contentment. He gains Talent × 3000]

This was the song of righteousness reward that Shen Qingzhou received after the grain transport officer left. It was also a summary of his one year in office, not just a simple harvest, so he had three thousand talents and his mind moved.

[The host's talent has been upgraded, his literary rank has been raised to Juren, his comprehension and eloquence are fluent, and his tongue is full of thunder. ]

[Talent level: Juren 152.532/100000]

Shen Qingzhou felt his body lighten, and he felt that his body had become much stronger. With his unparalleled skills alone, he should be able to fight in close combat with a fifth-rank master.

Of course, this is just a side effect of the upgrade in literary rank. It makes him stronger, but his martial arts are too high, so he can fight against the fifth-grade with his body alone. This is not an increase in blood energy, which is far from it.

However, the newly acquired skill is quite useful. He can speak eloquently. As the name suggests, from now on, he no longer needs to use rice paper as a medium. He can directly launch a talent attack by reciting it aloud.

The function of Tongue Blooming with Thunder is to make his voice sound like thunder when he recites poetry. Of course, you can choose not to use it, but using it will greatly increase the amplification.

Shen Qingzhou used his ability once. He did not use it in an exaggerated way to shock the whole city. He just used it slightly, but with a song "Song of the Frontier", the phantom summoned by Shen Qingzhou was the God Catcher. He was truly a genius and seldom used archery, but his archery skills were stronger than Wuqing's.

Summoning the God Catcher was just an accident before, but now, it has become the norm. Although it is only the power of one arrow, Shen Qingzhou can feel that the power of this arrow has definitely reached the sixth level.

This is also different from the summoned Eighteen Tiger and Leopard Riders. The Eighteen Tiger and Leopard Riders are of the sixth rank, but their consumption is unimaginable, and they only show up for one second, otherwise it would not become his trump card. Now, the God Catcher can attack directly, and it is the attack of the God Catcher.

He used up all his talent and shot out thirty-two arrows directly, and he could feel that the speed at which his talent was recovering was not slow.

After being happy, it was time to worry. One hundred thousand talents were needed to upgrade to the next literary rank. Even though he had killed the Northern Yan cavalry and had a year of good weather and harvest, which led to the overall improvement of Dongyang Prefecture, he only gained seven thousand talents in the end.

Moreover, based on his experience in previous years, there are not many events in Dongyang Prefecture that can allow him to do justice. The first year was the most complete harvest, and the rest is stability.

If he wants to do more righteous things, he still has to be promoted. Nowadays, the talent that Dongyang Prefecture can bring him will only become less and less.

Shen Qingzhou also received the reward from above. The achievements are objective. Dongyang Prefecture is undergoing transformation. Now the soap has begun to be fully decentralized. Although the benefits seem not as good as before, in the stage of small profits but quick turnover, the income has not decreased but increased.

Of course, in order to avoid being accused of cheating, the soap they use is made of lard and wood ash, with a little bit of other things. The most basic one is very rough.

High-quality products use mutton fat, some are mixed with floral dew, and some are mixed with traditional Chinese medicine. In particular, they put a lot of effort into the packaging, so you never have to worry about rich people not buying them.

A lot of effort was put into the packaging, and they even had the box made of fine wood. Not only was exquisite patterns engraved on it, but they also specifically sought Shen Qingzhou's consent to engrave some of his poems on it.

Although he was suspected of flattery, Shen Qingzhou did not care too much, and he also did something to help the soap reach the high end. "It is not a human seed, but was transplanted from the moon. A little fragrance from Guanghan, and it blows all over the mountain." Shen Qingzhou spent a little bit of his talent to make a batch of specially made soaps, which contained the fragrance of cinnamon, but it was not a human scent, but a very ethereal scent.

This was the first poem he used after becoming a juren. This poem had the effect of refreshing people's eyes and ears, but he used it on soap.

This batch of soaps swept the market after it appeared. The soap business, combined with glass and the newly introduced white sugar, gradually turned the entire Dongyang Prefecture into the commercial center of Tanzhou.

Ye Qingmei was able to rely on these goods to transform Qing from a weak country into the strongest country in the world. There is no reason why Dongyang Prefecture cannot do the same. Currently, it is still far from it and underdeveloped. Currently, it is only supplying some powerful people. Ordinary people have not officially started to reap the benefits and cannot keep up with the development.

The Jiangzuo League often received information from Dongyang Prefecture. After all, they had been paying attention to Shen Qingzhou for a long time, and even arranged for one of their own to serve as the county magistrate of Sanyang County.

The current magistrate of Sanyang County is very frustrated. He originally thought that he would be able to make some progress because he was a gilded official. But who could have imagined that he had no control over Sanyang County at all.

Although everyone in Sanyang County called him the county magistrate, they did not regard him as the county magistrate at all. They had been governing Sanyang County according to Shen Qingzhou's previous policies. Whenever there was a small matter, the county magistrate would be the first to go to the government office to consult Lord Shen Zheng.

This is the power of Zuo Di Hu, who is also his superior. Sanyang County was also developed by him. He feels aggrieved. If he hadn't been waiting for the three-year period to be up and had made every bit of contribution here, he might have run away long ago. However, even so, he often sent messages to the backstage, but he himself didn't know that the backstage was the Jiangzuo League.

The Jiangzuo League discovered the business opportunity early on. Although they could not find the secret recipe, they still made a lot of money by relying on their own strength and forming caravans. Because of this, the Jiangzuo League, which knew the inside story, was able to discover Shen Qingzhou's talent.

Shen Qingzhou's poems, except for some incomplete poems written on the battlefield, have all spread, making Shen Zheng known to many people even in the imperial capital.

Shen Qingzhou has strong political achievements, and he is good at getting along with everyone. No matter if it's the Crown Prince or Prince Yu, he will be the man of whoever comes to him. Anyway, you don't need me to do anything for you now.

Two years later, Shen Qingzhou's talent increased by 9,000 points. In the first year, he gained 2,000 points of talent on a daily basis, and the annual summary was 3,000 points. The second year was even worse. He gained 1,000 points on a daily basis, and the summary was still 3,000 points.

【Civil rank: Juren (7280.246/100000)】

In the past two years, Dongyang Prefecture has undergone great changes. The entire Dongyang Prefecture has become a well-known hometown of clean soap.

The entire Dongyang Prefecture was united by Shen Qingzhou. This county specializes in packaging, and that county specializes in carving. It cannot be said that everyone works for Shenjia Village, but everyone can reap the benefits brought by the goods.

The money for building bridges and roads was all paid from here. The entire Dongyang Prefecture was convinced by Shen Qingzhou. Everyone knew that if it wasn't for Shen Qingzhou, why would they pay so much money.

The three-year period has expired. Whether to continue in Dongyang Prefecture, move to the next level, or be transferred to other places depends on your connections.

Shen Qingzhou did not cherish the money. Although two thousand was deducted because of his involvement in buying an official position, as long as he could become the prefect of Tanzhou, everything would be worth it.

It just so happens that there is someone above me who is trying to gild me. If you don't promote me, I will be in Dongyang Prefecture. With some silver and the favor from my superiors, it won't be difficult for me to get a fourth-rank official like the Governor of Tanzhou.
