Yang Ze felt that something might happen to Caicai, so he was always cautious in his work, so he naturally sent someone to watch the girl. Not only did he send soldiers to stand guard in front of the palace, he also tied the horse to the backyard. He didn't know that Caicai wanted to run out of the city in this winter, but the precautions must be done well, and everything should be prevented before it happens!

As a result, his defense really worked. Caicai couldn't find a chance to run away from home and had no chance to rebel. She wanted to go out, but she had to have a horse, but the horse was tied up in the backyard of the county government. Without Yang Ze's order, she could not take it away at all.

After waiting for several days, Caicai did not succeed in rebelling. She had to wait patiently for the opportunity. She believed that Yang Ze could watch her for a few days, so she believed that Yang Ze would watch her for a few months? Just wait. Anyway, she is still young!

On that day, Yan Chenghou finally came back from Qiuzhou and was about to arrive on New Year's Eve. He rushed to the ground and happened to come back for the New Year.

The New Year in Zhenxi County is naturally not as lively as the bustling in the capital, but under Yang Ze's planning, it has a unique flavor. In order to celebrate the first New Year after he took office, it is also to show that he, the county magistrate, cares about the people very much. Yang Ze and his soldiers swept the main streets of the city, piled up a piece of snow, and piled up a few snowmen. The snowmen have different shapes. Although they are not exquisite enough, fortunately, they are big enough. The largest snowman is as tall as two floors. In fact, this snowman is just a big snowman. A large round snowball is pressed on it as a head, and a bathtub is covered on it, which is used as a hat for the snowman. The snowman's face is made of eyes, and the small broom is inserted as a nose, and the big broom is inserted as an arm. This is a snowman!

Although these snowmen are rough and simple, they still open their horizons to the people of the west of the town, especially the children. They usually build snowmen, but they have never piled them so big. After making a fuss around the snowmen, they began to pile up their own snowmen. With all kinds of ideas, the snowmen were piled up in all kinds of strange ways, but it doesn't matter. If anyone's snowmen is not like humans, the children will say that this is not a snowman. It's a snow monster. Anyway, no one has seen the monsters before, so it doesn't matter how strange they are!

After Yan Chenghou entered the city, he saw this scene. Snowmen were everywhere on the streets. When he led the convoy to the county government gate, he saw that there were two snowmen on the left and right at the gate of the county government gate. Strictly speaking, they were snow beasts, and they looked like two big dogs guarding the gate.

Yang Ze personally greeted him, Yan Chenghou pointed at the two snow dogs and praised: "Sir, with these two guard dogs, the safety in our yamen will be guaranteed. No matter whether it is a New Year beast or a beast, they will be scared away by these two big dogs!"

Yang Ze was stunned, looked left and right, and said, "These are not two big dogs, these are two mighty lions, one male and one female, used to guard the gate. They are not to scare the Nian beast!"

Yan Cheng grinned, okay, why do these two lions look so much like dogs! He hurriedly said, "It's not bad, aren't two lions? They are much more majestic than dogs."

Yang Ze pointed to the door of the palace and said, "Look at the small one, that's a dog. It's a pile of vegetables. She is also weak and can't pile up lions, so she can only pile up a dog!"

The convoy came outside. Cai Cai stood at the door watching the fun, thinking in her heart whether she could get some good things from Yang Ze. Suddenly, she heard Yang Ze laugh at the stuff she piled up. The little girl was so angry that she immediately had an outrage. She said furiously: "How come this is a dog? This is an elephant, the biggest beast in the world. Do you understand? This is called an elephant, much more powerful than your lion, but she is just a little smaller, but you can't say it is a dog!"

Seeing her little figure, Yang Ze actually got angry and smiled and said, "You have never seen an elephant, you just piled up randomly. I have seen an elephant. The elephant has a long nose and big ears. What is yours? It would be fine if you don't have one. If you insert a stick, you will think it's a long nose. It's too ugly!"

After saying that, he asked someone to drive a big cart into the county government office and order goods in person, ignoring the little girl.

Of course, Caicai had never seen an elephant. She had only heard Li Yan say that there were elephants from foreign tributes in the capital. Li Yan told her that the elephant was very big. After she said that she looked, she relied on her own imagination to pile it up. But she didn't know what it was, so she naturally couldn't pile it up. Of course, even if she had seen an elephant, with her ability, she couldn't pile it up, and she didn't have that high skill.

Naicai thought to herself: "Or else, I will change the elephant to a Qilin? I have never seen it before, but no one has seen it, so why don't you just keep it with me? Well, there's no hurry to see Yang Ze's mess, they are all busy unloading the goods. I happened to have the chance to go to the backyard to see if I can pull the horse out!"

The little girl had a very positive idea. The more the adults refused to let her do anything, she had to do it. Her parents opposed her going to find the prince, and Yang Ze didn't let her go, but she had to go. She could have waited until the weather was warmer, but now she had to go there. She had a very rebellious spirit of a beautiful adolescent girl. If it were in modern times, it would definitely be a problem girl. It was certain that she fell in love early. She didn't recruit a group of girls and praised her as the female boss, which was already considered a calm!

Yang Ze was very busy, and the servants and soldiers were busy helping unloading the goods. He had time to take care of a little girl's mind. No one paid attention to the vegetables. The yard was busy unloading the truck and ordering goods!

While checking the goods, Yang Ze said, "Is it going to Qiuzhou smoothly this time? It's quite troublesome to use gold to purchase things?"

Yan Cheng kindly said: "It's okay, it's not as troublesome as I imagined. Qiuzhou is a big place after all. There are still many rich people. Many rich people like to collect gold and cast gold into big ingots. Because the gold price here is low, some big merchants also like to transport gold to the Central Plains. They can make a profit by going out and going out, so it's not a problem to exchange it. It's just that buying things costs a little. We buy a lot of things, and merchants always have to prepare it, which delays our efforts."

Yang Ze nodded, holding the goods list in his hand, and compared it one by one, and said, "Is my letter to the governor? What did he say?"

Yan Chenghou said the story of seeing Gong Yangliu, which was similar to what Yang Ze predicted. Yang Ze smiled and said, "I really made the prediction right. He didn't take this matter seriously, but it would be fine. When he realized it, he wouldn't be able to get rid of it. Then we will pull him into the water and make a fortune together. By the way, look at how he is, do you have any special hobbies?"

You are not afraid of your leader having hobbies, you are afraid of your leader not having hobbies. As long as you know your leader’s hobbies, you will be able to deal with many things very easily.

Yan Chenghou also said that Yang Liu only accepted gifts, but he was not easy to collect money. He also said that Yang Liu had a good reputation among the people, and although he loved money, he was not a scammer.

Yang Ze heard this and smiled and said, "I will never charge money? This nickname is interesting! Well, there are many people like this. Nowadays, officials all want to have benefits and erect chastity archways. Isn't that the Dali Temple Minister Hou Zizhen the same? He lives in a broken yard. He doesn't want to give him gifts, but he asks me to fold it into gold for him. Have you forgotten it? Or the gold you exchanged!"

Yan Cheng smiled and said, "That Hou Zizhen is shameless. He is the kind of person who has not done anything after receiving money. He is definitely not a good thing."

Yang Ze said: "The bigger the official, the thicker the face. When you reach the position of prime minister, you will probably be as thick as nothing. This is called shameless!"

After saying that, he thought that this was not right. If he wanted to become prime minister in the future, wouldn’t it become shameless? He was actually quite shameless!

He said again: "Gongyang Liu only accepts gifts but not money. This is easy to deal with. When you do a few more business with Tuluhun, the gold will become more gold. Given to him, isn't this a gift? It's gold. He keeps the golden sheep and even saves the process of selling gifts. We can also solve problems for Shangguan!"

Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen, who followed the goods, all laughed when they heard this. Tan Zhengwen said, "No wonder this governor is called Gong Yang Liu. Gan Qing'er just collects the ram made of gold, and then he stays it. When his father named him, he is so visionary!"

Everyone laughed together and worked for a long time until it was dark. Only then did they order the goods and put them in the backyard of the county government. Since there were many people, cars, and more horses and more things. As a result, in the chaos, no one noticed that there were fewer horses in the backyard.

Only one servant was wondering why the door in the backyard was opened, but tonight was New Year's Eve, and it was the most lively time. The servant was anxious to have the New Year's Eve dinner, so he stopped after closing the door. He neither investigated the matter nor reported to Yang Ze.

After handling the goods, Yang Ze personally went to the royal palace to meet Li Yan. He also ordered people to move the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner to Li Yan. There were prominent people in the county to go to pay New Year's greetings to Li Yan, and say auspicious words to please Li Yan, the down-and-out prince.

Li Yan has been here for so long and has been living such a comfortable New Year for the first time. Not only is he happy, but the princess is also happy. This New Year's Eve dinner was extremely happy!

In the middle of the night, Yan Chenghou ordered people to take out the firecrackers he brought back and set them off in the open space on the street. In this era, there were no firecrackers, and they relied on firecrackers when they heard the sound. Firecrackers were set off everywhere, and the whole city was in a happy festive atmosphere.

Yang Ze stood at the door with Li Yan, watching the firecrackers set off. He looked back and found that Caicai didn't come out. He thought to himself: "Why does this little girl seem to have something to worry about? She talks very little tonight. I really don't know what she is thinking about. Could it be that she is still thinking about the elephant? Why would I draw an elephant tomorrow and show her! Alas, this little girl is not big, and she has many worries!"

After midnight, everyone left. It was late at night. Everyone was tired for a day and went back to their own houses. Their wives and children went to bed. The whole Zhenxi County was in silence.

The next day, Yang Ze slept until midnight before getting up. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, according to the rules of this era, he should pay New Year's greetings to his elders. The city can be called his elders, and only Li Yan's family is there. Although it was the night we watched together last night, the rules cannot be broken, and he still has to pay New Year's greetings.

After washing up, he was about to go out, but a servant came to report that when the groom was feeding the horse today, he found that there was a horse missing in the backyard, and the lesser horse was Yang Ze's mount, that is, the one given to the cabbage!
