Chapter Seventy-Five: Cowardice Before Fighting
After Xiao Wang left the bookstore, he went to the opera troupe to watch the singing, and after watching the singing, he went to the circus.
I couldn't watch the circus for a few minutes, and the selling points here were all things that Wang Lanling couldn't stand to watch, he put down five cents on the ground and left, not continuing to watch the disabled woman being a clown there.
No one looks at any chest broken boulder, and many people are willing to look at something that they can't usually see.
Wang Lanling felt that his moral level was much higher than that of this era, and after thinking about it, it was strange and uncomfortable, and he felt that brothels and hair washing rooms were suitable for him, and his moral level was like that.
At a young age, it was not good to go there, but Wang Lanling still gave up this kind of risky thing.
walked around the city, and then went back to Zhao's mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, a servant who guarded the door said: "Great official, you are back, just now someone from the bookstore sent you the book you bought, and it happened that the young lady knew about it, so she helped you pay for it, and the book has been delivered to your room." ”
After Wang Lanling heard this, he sighed and sighed for his moral level.
"Why do the officials sigh?" The servant asked suspiciously.
Wang Lanling raised his head at a forty-five degree angle and looked at the sky with a melancholy expression.
"I sigh that I am taken care of again, and I don't know when this kindness will be repaid."
When the servant heard this, he said, "It's just fifteen yuan, can't you just pay it back?" ”
"Alas......" Wang Lanling sighed again.
The servant asked blankly, "Why does the official sigh again?" But what did the villain say wrong? ”
Wang Lanling looked at the sky, slowly shifted his gaze to the face of the dazed old man, and shook his head.
"You don't understand, you don't understand." Wang Lanling looked at the courtyard in front of him and was full of emotion, "How can you use money to care about this matter?" I am a junior, my brother and sister-in-law take care of me, care about me, don't take it to heart, and think about repaying it as soon as possible all day long. ”
The servant seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand, but he really felt that what Wang Lanling said made sense.
Wang Lanling has already left, and he will definitely be grateful for his gratitude.
If someone talks about money, he will definitely pay it back.
But if you're not in a hurry, it's not bad for a while.
Zhao Wenjian's wife, Liu, of course, did not intend to let Wang Lanling repay the money, she knew very well the necessity of having a good relationship with this uncle.
Only if the relationship with Wang Lanling's side is good, can Zhao Wenrou's side really help, otherwise it will be too difficult for the mother and daughter to wait.
Soon Liu knew what Wang Lanling said, and happily asked the maid to send a pair of new leather shoes and ten cotton socks.
Wang Lanling didn't say anything about money, and in the afternoon, he used the excuse that there was something to do in the county and returned to Heishui County.
Lei A and Zhao Wenrou stayed in the county for two days to buy some new clothes, and Wang Lanling went home with a numb scalp.
"Let's go to the county town less in the future, it's too expensive......"
Although Wang Lanling spent one yuan and earned fifty yuan and a few clothes, he was still very resistant to the consumption of the county town.
There is nothing to do when he goes home alone, so Wang Lanling went to the office of the dung department.
"Du Sheng, go and ask the Water Affairs Department if there is anything on the side, if you have official business, let me come and handle it, I won't go."
Wang Lanling called Du Sheng and asked Du Sheng to pass the word.
Du Sheng quickly went to do it, and left the big dung division quickly.
Wang Lanling was processing the documents on the table, and said to Tian Yuanfang, who was waiting on the side: "I write an application, you go to the Civil Code Division to find Lord Zhou next week, I want to check the number of children, talents, and people in the city, as well as the number of rich and powerful merchants in the city." ”
This is to urgently mobilize the people in the city after the accident, Wang Lanling knows very well that this kind of thing cannot be done by relying only on him and the people of the yamen.
If we want to mobilize the strength of the entire county at the first time and let 300,000 people take action, we must rely on the strength of the grassroots.
Literate people and intellectuals, as well as wealthy businessmen and powerful people, are the people who speak effectively.
I really can't think of a solution to the matter of saving water, Wang Lanling can only think of a way to save people.
Although there are some places that can be crossed between the various divisions, Wang Lanling knows that he is now the one who bears the blame, and he can follow the procedures and procedures, and do not leave a handle for others.
After writing the application, Wang Lanling stamped the official seal of the dung department, and said to Wei Biao: "Wei Biao, you go to the water affairs department to bring my official seal and water map, and send me a message, so that those people can go home and think about the consequences of the flooding, they know this better than me, don't go to work if you can't think of it!" ”
"Yes!" Wei Biao quickly received the order and respectfully retired.
Wang Lanling looked at the documents of the big dung division, and there were big households in the townships below who wanted to buy some fertilizer.
Wang Lanling wrote a quasi-word, and then looked at the few people standing in the office.
"Tong Yue, you are down-to-earth and steady, this time you led a team to transport three truckloads of field fertilizer to Zhou's foreign house in Zhouzhai Town to sell, and the money obtained is three yuan, six cents and seven cents, the money is good for safekeeping, take the waterway when you come back, check the condition of the river for me, where the bridge is damaged, write it down!"
"Yes! Humble Command! Tong Yue clenched his fists and agreed, and left quickly.
The affairs of the big dung division are mainly things like collecting and selling, and Wang Lanling has already set the rules for these things, basically as long as there is no problem in the county, there is no problem, and the things in the countryside basically don't care.
But if Wang Lanling wants to take care of it, it is also reasonable.
"Step Gong, it's time for you to show your skills." Wang Lanling looked at Bugong.
Because of what happened last time, Bugong has been snubbed by Wang Lanling to a certain extent.
However, Bugong didn't know that he had made a mistake there, and now he saw Wang Lanling calling him, and quickly said: "My lord, you said, the humble post must be done quickly, and it will be done well!" ”
Wang Lanling said: "You go and run all over the townships and towns in Heishui County to find the best way!" ”
Bugong was a little dazed, "Humble and stupid, I don't know how to do this, please make it clear!" ”
Wang Lanling was a little helpless, but he also knew that this matter had not happened before.
"It is to let everyone gather together to evacuate, this matter should not be publicized, so as not to cause panic, the official is just to make some preparations in advance for the flood to avoid too many casualties."
This step Gong understood, and respectfully bent down and clenched his fists: "Your Excellency is merciful!" ”
Wang Lanling took out ten yuan and put it on the table.
"Go do it, this thing is more troublesome, give you a month to do it slowly, this is two months' salary, you need money for food, drink and accommodation on the road, take it, don't miss things because of a small bargain when doing things, the wall is thousands of miles, and there is no desire to be rigid."
When it was time to spend money, Lord Xiao Wang was not ambiguous, he never deducted the wages of these people.
Whether it is a temporary worker or a regular employee, you may not eat well, but you will definitely not be underfed.
Bugong got the money, bowed to Wang Lanling, and turned to leave.
Wang Lanling always felt that he couldn't do anything about this flood, looking at the rest of the people, the remaining temporary workers and regular workers rarely spoke to him, and the relationship was not so familiar.
At this time, I didn't know what to say, so I explained some things one by one and sent everyone out.
After everyone left, Wang Lanling leaned back in his chair and sighed.
"It's obviously a matter of the Water Affairs Division, but in the end, it's the people from the Dung Division running around."
Wang Lanling didn't go home either, and after having a meal with Lao Tao Guo Yong and the dog in the yard, he went back to the room to look at the waterway map, thinking about where to run with everyone after the rainfall came up.
