Chapter 30 Mobilization
In this way, it was not until the evening that Nangong Xue smoothed out the implementation steps of the transformation, then sat on the chair and stretched deeply, twisted her neck again, and said to herself: "It's finally done, and the next thing is to implement it." Although it may be more convenient to use the power of the government, I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome to deal with the problem of funds, although it is still necessary to stress integrity, but so many officials are not afraid of 10,000 in case. It seems that if my plan is to be fully beneficial to the people, I have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. ”
Nangong Xue was interrupted by a ray of sunset brilliance, Nangong Xue turned her head to look out the window, the courtyard was plated with a piece of golden yellow under the sunset, and the whole courtyard looked more golden and brilliant when the evening breeze blew, this scene was as exquisite as a fairy tale, and as beautiful as a dream.
"This kind of scenery is really beautiful, the blue sky, the white clouds are so beautiful when the light of the setting sun shines so beautifully, and there is no pollution at a certain point, it is really refreshing." Nangong Xue couldn't help but sigh, "Compared to ......." ”
He was talking to himself when he was interrupted by a guard, and the guard walked in respectfully and reported: "Lord Qiyu, your housekeeper outside the palace has come to pick you up and take you back to the house." ”
"Okay, okay, I see, I'll do it. There is a big brother who guards and my housekeeper will come when I tell the housekeeper. Nangong Xue responded.
"Yes." The guard replied. After saying that, he withdrew. Nangong Xue packed up all the things on the bookcase and left Kyoto Mansion. Seeing Nangong Xue coming out at this time, Wei Yongnian hurriedly asked the coachman to put down the stool, and Wei Yongnian helped Nangong Xue into the carriage and then ordered the coachman to go home. In the car, Wei Yongnian asked with concern: "How is Xiaoxue today?" Are you still adapting? ”
"Well, it's quite smooth to take office today." Nangong Xue replied, "The unfamiliar place of Kyoto Prefecture Lang Zhong Huang introduced me very clearly, and I adapted quickly at the end of the day. I feel embarrassed to meet all the adults for the first time, who made me small, but after talking, I think it's quite easy to get along with. Don't worry, Wei Bo, I'm such an adult, I understand how to get along as an official, and I remember what you told me. There won't be anything wrong with that. ”
"I'm relieved to hear you say that, and I'll have to explain to the old lady when I go back," Wei Yongnian said with relief. The kung fu carriage where the two were talking returned to the house. At this time, Nangong Hai, who was standing at the door early in the morning to greet them, saw that the carriage had stopped, so he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Uncle Wei, Xiaoxue, you are finally back." I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"Brother, is there something wrong?" Nangong Xue was puzzled. Wei Yongnian, who was standing next to him, said lightly: "Young Master, Miss, you can talk first, I still have to be busy beforehand." "Okay." The two said in unison. After speaking, Wei Yongnian set up the carriage and headed towards the back door. At this time, Nangong Hai asked with concern: "Xiaoxue, on the first day of being an official today, you are not restrained, right?" You're still young, and I'm afraid they won't obey you. ”
"Brother, why do you ask me the same question as Weber? Did you two discuss it? Nangong Xue asked rhetorically. Nangong Hai replied: "Is this negotiable?" I think about you, so I don't need to discuss it, I will think of going together. ”
"Brother, you just put your heart in your stomach with peace of mind, I'm fine." Nangong Xue replied, "All the ministers of Kyoto Prefecture are very talkative, and they don't embarrass me at all. I made an agreement with them that I would call them Uncle in private, and they would call me my rank in public. ”
"Since you said so, my grandfather won't say anything more." Nangong Hai was pleased, "No matter what you say, no matter how big the official is, it's not a simple matter. It's not easy to be an official. I have a deep understanding of your brother, including your second brother. We have all experienced it for so many years. If you don't understand something, and you don't want to ask your father, come and ask us, and we will be your advisors. ”
"Okay, I see, I'll be polite when I need your help." Nangong Xue smiled.
"That's not much to say. Come inside, the whole family will be waiting for you to come back for dinner. Nangong Hai said, "Try to come back as early as possible in the future, we will all be hungry." ”
"Okay, I'll be back soon." Nangong Xue responded with a smile.
After speaking, the two of them talked and walked towards the second hall with a smile.

The next day, Nangong Xue went to the Ministry of Industry to find Hua Hua, who was working in the Ministry of Industry, this Hua Hua is now the supervisor of the Ministry of Industry, responsible for supervising the supply and supply of building materials in the Ministry of Industry. You're the first person in the government and the opposition now. ”
"Give me less top hats." Nangong Xue replied, "I came to you to ask you for something, I hope you can help me." Besides, it's time to make your dreams come true. Hua Hua's eyes lit up when she heard Nangong Xue say this, and she confirmed: "What you said is true?" It can't be fun with me, right? ”
"Look at what you said, when did my Nangong Xue trick you? Besides, I, Nangong Xue, never speak. Nangong Xue confidently assured, "Haven't you always been interested in civil construction?" Have you always wanted to build something out of your ability to be recognized by the world? Today I'm going to let you make that idea a reality. ”
“……。” Hua Hua looked at Nangong Xue with an ignorant expression and didn't speak.
"Come and see, this is my transformation plan for each urban area," Nangong Xue said as she took out the blueprint and introduced it to Hua Hua, "I think so, our capital has four urban districts, and the total area of the three counties is 7,990 square kilometers, not to mention the outside of the city, let's just say that there are 7,000 square kilometers in the city, and the average of the four urban districts is 1,750 square kilometers. And this Xicheng District, whether from living or using or walking, the conditions in Xicheng District are too bad, if Xicheng District is satisfied with the people in this transformation, it will bring immeasurable reputation to the country, and you Huahua has also been developed, isn't this a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone? How about Huahua or not? ”
When Hua Hua heard this, he carefully digested Nangong Xue's words, and thought: "No matter how the imperial court benefits, at least I can realize my architectural dream for many years." No matter what happens after that, at least it will give me an addiction to architecture. So he replied, "Yes." What you say makes a lot of sense, so I'll leave it all up to you. As long as I am asked to build a good house, whether it is furniture or something, I am willing to do anything. ”
"It's serious, if you are willing to help me, I will burn high incense." Nangong Xue said humbly, and then pointed at the blueprint and said, "You see this is a plan drawing of Xicheng, in this piece is the largest vacant land in Xicheng, I plan to be like this, you design a temporary residential house without being too big, and then you will be bothered to design their own houses for each household, and when you are ready, I will arrange for someone to follow your assignment to start construction, first renovate the residence, and then renovate the pavement, and renovate the transformation of each household." What do you think? ”
"It's no problem to design a house, and the house I design is sturdy." Hua Hua patted his chest and promised, "But there is a question, the construction of this requires a lot of support, the wood used to build the house, the bricks and tiles, the sediment, and of course, the more important thing is the financial problem." As far as I know, the imperial court is also extremely short of money at the moment. Then your renovation plan ....... ”
"I have carefully considered what you said, and I have a way to solve the problem of funding. Regarding the purchase of bricks, tiles, mud and sand, you don't have to worry, I have a solution. Nangong Xue responded, "How long will it take for you to draw this design?" ”
"Your job is a big project, and Xicheng is not small, and there are even more residents, I have to go to the field to investigate, and then I can design the house." Hua Hua explained seriously, "That's it, you give me two months, and I'll give you a satisfactory answer then, what do you think?" ”
"Okay, I know it's prudent to build a house." Nangong Xue said, "During this time, you concentrate on design, and I will prepare funds and building materials." After saying that, Hua Hua nodded in agreement, and after getting Hua Hua's reply, Nangong Xue left the plan of the West City to Hua Hua and left the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry. After sending Nangong Xue away, Hua Hua sat in front of the bookcase and carefully studied the floor plan of Xicheng, and at the same time made a preliminary design of the house according to Nangong Xue's requirements on another piece of paper. At the first moment of Youchu, Hua Hua saw that there was nothing to do, so he went back to his house and called a carriage and galloped towards Xicheng.
After arriving in Xicheng, while the sky was still bright, Hua Hua made detailed records while walking, and got out of the carriage from time to time to see if the soil quality of Xicheng was good, whether the foundation was good, and whether it was suitable for building the house he wanted.
……

After Nangong Xue left the Ministry of Industry, she went to Kong Haoyu's house, and as soon as she entered the door, Kong Haoyu was also extremely happy, and greeted: "Yo, my God of Wealth, please come inside." What is your order to come to my little temple? Nangong Xue was a little uncomfortable with this, and asked rhetorically, "Did you discuss it?" I didn't see where I was a Buddha statue. Kong Haoyu was a little confused when he heard this: "You guys? Why, in addition to what I said, there is a second one who also says this? Who? Who will provide you like this? ”
"Hua Hua, he also offered me like a Buddha grandfather." Nangong Xue pursed her lips and replied, "I'm just an ordinary human being, where am I like Grandpa Buddha?" ”
"That's right," Kong Haoyu replied, "Don't say that, in the eyes of our group of people, you are not a mortal, you are our savior, the one who has come to open the door to infinite light for us, since you came to Beixuan, it has been a earth-shaking change." If it weren't for you, I'm afraid that our group of people would still be gnawing on books and doing nothing. ”
"I'm just pushing the boat. It's you who work hard. Nangong Xue explained, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now, I came today to ask you to help." ”
"Help? Okay, you can say it, as long as I can help, I must go to the soup and go to the fire. Kong Haoyu patted his chest and swore solemnly.
"Before I say it, you should change your title first, I have a classmate relationship with you, how can I be worthy of the honorific title of 'you'?" Nangong Xue pointed to the right path. After speaking, Kong Haoyu scratched his head and nodded, "Okay, no kidding." I'm wrong, I'm wrong, you sit first, I'll make you tea and let's get down to business. Seeing that Kong Haoyu admitted his mistake, he continued to say: "It's pretty much the same, let's get down to business." I remember you told me you wanted to be the number one chef in the world, right? As far as I know, it's not so easy to be the number one chef in the world. ”
"It's my dream to be the number one chef in the world," Kong Haoyu longed, "but it's not so easy now, it's not that I don't want to take over my father's class, it's just that his old man's errand is not easy to do, and it's not an easy thing to do things with his head and melon seeds all day long, and I hesitate." My father sometimes says that I am not filial, is it easy for you to talk about me? Oh, by the way, I'm telling you this, don't sue me. ”
"You see me like the kind of person who stabs me in the back. We've been friends for so many years, don't you know who I am? Nangong Xue replied, "Now I have a way to let you show your culinary skills, not to mention whether it can make you famous in one fell swoop, but at least it is a rich accumulation of cooking experience, do you think you are interested?" ”
As soon as Kong Haoyu heard that he could give full play to his cooking skills and accumulate cooking experience, he seemed to see the dawn of life for a moment, his eyes lit up and looked at Nangong Xue, and nodded again and again: "You say you say." I'm listening. ”
"I have a small amount of silver taels on hand now, and I plan to use these silver taels to sponsor you to open a small restaurant. You're the chef at this restaurant. Nangong Xue paused a little and then continued to say, "Of course, this restaurant is not open for no reason, there are several reasons, one is that I am now undertaking the capital renovation plan, and I am short of money at hand, I understand that the imperial treasury is currently in short supply, so I don't expect the imperial court to allocate how many silver taels to me for transformation, so I don't want to hang myself on the tree of the imperial court, I want to find another way; Second, I have some recipes for you to learn, and after you learn them, you will sell them, so that more people can taste your craft and accumulate your reputation, so that even if you don't get the title of the world's first chef, you don't have to go to the imperial dining room to be an errand boy, at least you have life skills because of this, isn't it good? The third is to benefit those poor people, your restaurant is well opened, they can also come to you as a shopkeeper, they have a job, you don't have to worry about being busy alone, isn't it? As long as the salary is appropriate, it's fine. Fourth, think in the long-term direction, that is, if your good business is booming, then you are famous, and my transformation plan is also guaranteed by funds, and you can be self-sufficient without relying on the state, wouldn't it be more fulfilling? When the time comes, the emperor will also notice you, so you will not be far from the title of the world's number one chef. Do you want to come and work with me to do this with you? ”
Kong Haoyu listened carefully to it, and for a while he seemed to be as excited as seeing a new world, so he hurriedly nodded and responded: "Okay, Xiaoxue, you really deserve to be our eldest sister, your idea is really too funny." As far as you just said, I dare to say that there is no second person in the world who will be the same as you think, and I won't say anything, I agree, but the funds for opening a restaurant will not let you pay for it alone, and I myself have a little bit. Let's grow up from a young age. Leave the selection of the site to me. In the past few days, I'll go to find a good shop and give you an answer, okay? ”
"If you agree, then I'll wait for your good news. I'll send you all the recipes in half a day. You just learn slowly. If you have any questions, just ask me, I'm just a packet to ask. Nangong Xue replied, and then she looked at the late sky, and said, "If it's late today, I won't delay much, I'll go back." I'll leave the rest to you, and I'll just sit back and wait for your good news. ”
"Don't worry, I'll get this done. I'll do my best to give you the letter. Kong Haoyu patted his chest and promised, "This time flies quickly, and it will be evening in the blink of an eye, then I will send you." As he spoke, Kong Haoyu sent Nangong Xue into the carriage, and watched her drift away, until Nangong Xue's carriage disappeared at the end of Taobei Street before turning around and returning home. After Nangong Xue left, Kong Haoyu kept thinking about the ideas he just said, and he was still a little overjoyed, it felt like a big pie falling from the sky, and he was as excited as smashing his head impartially, even when he was having dinner.
After settling these two groups, Nangong Xue finally felt a little more comfortable, and at first she was worried that they cared about their words and didn't dare to participate in their own ideas. Now it seems that she is too careful. The matter was explained quite smoothly, so he took the carriage back to the house with peace of mind.
