He hated his husband and Mr. Ma got drunk that night and had to chat with Li Xiu if he didn't sleep. Li Xiu could only accompany him. It is estimated that every father was as entangled as Mr. Ma when his daughter got married. He was both happy and reluctant to leave. The drunk Mr. Ma became very talkative. He held Li Xiu's hand and said drunkenly in the middle of the night. Finally, he was pulled back by Princess Guanghua who was found.

Three days later, Hen'er, who got married, returned to the house according to the rules. Ma Ye didn't find anyone else, so he found Li Xiu's family. He and Li Xiu accompanied Shangguan Yi to drink, while Princess Pingyang and the others accompanied Hen'er to chat with him.

"Son-in-law, the imperial court's assignment has been brought down. When are you planning to take office in Suzhou?" Mr. Ma drank a drink with Shangguan Yi at this time, and then asked.

"The court also knew that I was going to get married, so it did not urge me to take office, but I didn't want to delay it for too long. Moreover, I discussed with Hen'er in the past two days and planned to leave in seven days. Speaking of which, this is the first time I was in charge of the government affairs of a county, and I am a little nervous now." Shangguan Yi said a little embarrassedly at this time. Although he was a mature young man, he was still a young man after all. He only served in the Ministry of Agriculture and had no experience in governing a county.

"We may not be able to help you in this matter, because Uncle Ma and I have no experience in this area, but I think the governance of the local area is nothing more than two aspects. One is to strictly enforce public security, and the other is to encourage industry and commerce. As long as these two aspects are done well, the political achievements should not be worse." Li Xiu also smiled at this time.

"No, although I have never been a civil servant, I also heard that the most important thing after I got to the local area is to encourage farming and build water conservancy. After all, agriculture is the foundation of the country. Why do you pay attention to industry and commerce instead?" Ma Ye asked in confusion when he heard Li Xiu's words.

"My father-in-law doesn't know that if he was working in the local area in the past, he should indeed pay attention to farming. However, as our Ministry of Agriculture promoted sweet potatoes and corn, grain no longer became a trouble for the local area. Even if the poor and lazy people are poor, they can easily reclaim a few acres of wasteland and plant some sweet potatoes to fill their stomachs. So if the local people want to achieve political achievements, they must work hard on industry and commerce!" Before Li Xiu could speak, Shangguan Yi explained on his behalf that he was a member of the Ministry of Agriculture and naturally had a very clear understanding of the effects of high-yield crops.

"I forgot the contribution of your Ministry of Agriculture." Master Ma couldn't help but slam his head when he heard this, but then he said with some concern, "The scenery in Suzhou is good, but after all, it is in the south, and the climate is relatively humid and hot, so you and He'er should also pay more attention to your health!"

Suzhou is also a very famous city in the Tang Dynasty, but in the eyes of the people of Guanzhong, it is still a humid and hot place in the south. In addition, the current medical conditions are backward, and a minor illness that is not adapted to the local environment may kill people. Therefore, communication between the north and the south is not as frequent as in later generations. The Tang Dynasty sent prisoners to the south, which shows how harsh the conditions in the south are.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your concern. Hen'er and I will definitely pay attention, but I also realized that Hener actually knows medical skills. When I arrive in the south, I am not worried about getting sick." Shangguan Yi first thanked Mr. Ma, and then said with a smile. Li Xiu is a famous genius doctor in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, Hener understands medical skills, but Hener's medical skills are not learned from Li Xiu, but from Sun Simiao. However, she has not learned much medical skills and has no practical experience, so she can only deal with ordinary minor illnesses.

"That's right, this girl Hen'er learned a lot of things with Li Xiuke, including medical skills, mathematics, astronomy, geography, etc. Even if you pass the imperial examination, you may not be as good as her in some places!" When Ma Ye heard Shangguan Yi praise Hener, he said with a complacent look on his face. His daughter is naturally much better than other people's.

"Haha, Uncle Ma, don't praise He'er. Since You Shao married He'er, he naturally saw He'er's extraordinaryness. Let's talk about You Shao's job in Suzhou this time. Speaking of Suzhou near the sea, if you want to develop the local economy, you can think of a solution from the sea." Li Xiu laughed when he heard Ma's words, and then spoke again.

"What the prince consort said is that the county I took office is called Haiyan County, which belongs to Suzhou. It is just by the sea. It can be heard from the name of the county that this county produces a lot of sea salt. However, due to the war, the salt fields in Haiyan County were greatly damaged. Now the production of sea salt is not high, so I plan to focus on restoring the salt fields and restoring the production of sea salt after going there!" Shangguan Yi also spoke excitedly at this time. After receiving the appointment, he had already done a lot of homework and had a preliminary understanding of the situation in Haiyan County.

"This method is good, but the salt industry has always been controlled by the court. Even if you restore the production of sea salt, it can only make the county government income, and its effect on the people is not too great. So in addition to the salt industry, I think you can consider it from other aspects, such as fishery, your seafood is rich, and if it can be transported to the mainland, it will definitely be very popular." Li Xiu suggested again when he heard this, salt and iron have always been the lifeline of agricultural countries. Since the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, they have been firmly controlled by the state.

"Sea salt is indeed rich in various seafood, but among these seafood, except for a few seafood that can be made into dry goods, other seafood are easily deteriorated. I'm afraid it won't be transported to Chang'an at all?" Shangguan Yi frowned when he heard Li Xiu's words. He also knew that the sea was rich, but preservation was a big problem. As for transportation, it can be solved. After all, Yangzhou, not far from Suzhou, is the end of the Grand Canal. Production in Haiyan County can be transported from water to the Central Plains and Guanzhong.

"Hey~, why did the virtuous son-in-law forget? Don't we have canned food? This thing was originally used to preserve food. Now there are canned fruits and canned meat. You can build a canned seafood. As long as the sales are opened, it will definitely be very popular!" Ma Ye slapped his thigh and said, "He was the one who was in charge of the canned workshop, so he also thought of a solution to the preservation of seafood at the first time.

"Uncle Ma is right. Canned food is the key to solving the preservation of seafood. Canned food is our family's industry. This time, Uncle Ma can choose a few managers to follow You Shao and Hener to take office to help them develop the local economy." Li Xiu also smiled at this time. Now the Tang Dynasty only attaches importance to inland and ignores coastal areas, which has led to most of the economy in the coastal areas being relatively backward. For example, the most prosperous Guangzhou is still a huge difference compared to large cities like Chang'an and Luoyang.

"Thank you, father-in-law, son-in-law!" Shangguan Yi said excitedly when he heard this. He didn't expect that before he took office, Li Xiu and Ma Ma had already helped him choose a path of politics. It can be said that as long as he is not too stupid, he can develop Haiyan. With this political achievement, he may be transferred back to Chang'an for a job soon.

This meal of wine returned to the door and drank until the sun sets in the afternoon. In the end, Shangguan Yi's face was flushed by Ma Ye and could not even stand up. This made Hener complain. Then he helped Shangguan Yi get on the carriage with his own hands, and then he said goodbye to Ma Ye and Princess Guanghua and others.

Li Xiu was happy today and also had a few drinks with Ma Ye and Shangguan Yi. In addition, the weather was getting hot at this time, and he felt a little hot, so he walked along the yellow canal while enjoying the oncoming cool breeze. Before he knew it, he finally came to the vicinity of Xinzhu Academy. What's more coincidental was that a crisp ringtone came from the school, and then a group of students rushed out of the school happily. It turned out that the school had finished school in the afternoon.

The students in the school are all children from nearby Zhuangzi, but some Zhuangzi are a little far from the school, so the school is over early in the afternoon so that they can return home before dark. However, the students are playful. For example, after these students rushed out of the school, some of them had some change, immediately rushed to the stall in front of the school gate to buy snacks or toys. Those who had no money looked at them eagerly. Some children who bought things were more generous, and shared their own things with friends with good relationships, which made more children look envious.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, Li Xiu couldn't help but show a look of memories in his eyes. The scene in front of him was so similar to his childhood. He remembered that he was also poor and had very little food and food. However, China in later generations took only 30 years to change the backward appearance of the country. He just didn't know how far the Tang Dynasty would be able to go in the future?

Just as Li Xiu was watching the students fall into deep thought, he suddenly saw a group of students walking and laughing, and it was obviously led by one of the students. The student brought other people to a stall selling Hu cakes in front of the school, and generously invited other children to eat Hu cakes. This also made the children around him happy. After all, these children were growing up and had been in class for an afternoon and were already hungry at this time. Although other snacks were delicious, they were obviously not as hungry as Hu cakes.

Li Xiu had long noticed this group of students because the leading student was Li Ke. In fact, Li Ke also saw Li Xiu at this time, which made him stunned, but then he smiled embarrassedly at Li Xiu, and still bought Hu cakes for these students with good relationship with him. Then he joked a few more times before saying goodbye to them and walked towards Li Xiu.

"My nephew, please see my uncle!" Li Ke came to Li Xiu and immediately bowed to him.

"No need to be polite. Have you done the question I gave you before?" Li Xiu looked at Li Ke with a smile and said. He didn't think that Li Ke's behavior of treating him. After all, as Li Ke's identity, it is normal to use this method to establish a good relationship with classmates.

"It's done, and I've also asked my mother for advice, and the mother also had something to say to me to bring to you!" Li Ke said solemnly at this time.
