Chapter Forty-Eight: The Beginning of the Fight
After the meeting, Hua Tianxiong left on a boat, and Li Guangya took the commander's guard company and lived in the Zhaojia City Government. And Mo Longxiang and Bai Shi lived in a house on the edge of the Zhaojia City Government.
Governor's Mansion Chambers
Wen Zhao's expression at the moment was different from that at the venue, sitting on the couch with a smile, and gently scraping the lotus seeds in his hands. And the people who sat down were Lin Ding and Teodulo.
"Tomorrow you sign the contract, and let Lu Dake give you the treasury list in the afternoon, and the provincial treasury is easy to say, I thought that the city treasury could control it, but I didn't expect Hua Tianxiong to leave his hand behind and let that proton be the mayor, are you afraid?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, our five countries are already slowly collecting grain, and we have also read the list of the city treasury, and it will not last for a few days, you can rest assured. However, now that you can enter Zhaojia, there are three ports, what are you going to do here? Teoduro said.
"The grain of the South Island will go directly to the army and will not flow to the people, you can rest assured. I have brought in all the grain from the mainland, and the big ships and companies that can transport grain have all been brought in, and there will be no ships to transport it, so it will take a month at the earliest. Lin Ding said.
"And the Twin Islands fleet is still outside, and the orders have been given! All vessels entering the port must be inspected, which can be long or short. Cong Wen Zhao added.
Teoduro also said with some joy: "It is said that the Zhaojia people are the richest city in the empire, and now we can know how rich the Zhaojia people are." ”
"Okay, I'll get the provincial treasury tomorrow, are you ready?"
"It's ready, the text of the sale of land assets by the five countries has been reviewed by President Lin." After Teodulo finished speaking, Lin Ding nodded.
Cong Wen Zhao waved his hand, threw away the lotus seed in his hand, and said: "Oops, it's finally time!" ”
Zhaojia City Hall
Mo Longxiang sat in the meeting hall of the Zhaojia City Government, and was accompanying Lu Dake to listen to the reading of Hu Hancai's appointment documents. Hu Hancaiping was transferred to the head of the Civic Affairs Bureau of the Beidao Provincial Government, and now he is cooperating with Mo Longxiang to solve the livelihood matters of Zhaojia.
said that it was flat, but in fact, it was degraded.
Hu Hancai was very aggrieved, but when he thought of his daughter, he had no words. He said silently in his heart: Lao Tzu is the uncle of the country, and Lao Tzu will be crowned king in the future...... At least make an earl!
After reading it, Lu Dake didn't leave a few words left, now he is not welcomed everywhere, the authority of the provincial government has plummeted, and he has become a leper dog, anyone can step on a few feet, those subordinates who originally had some connections in the provincial government are still their own kings, trying their best to send their wives and children to the South Island.
When you are an official, the most important thing is whether there is anyone behind, there is no one, what kind of official, it is just a position.
Mo Longxiang sat at the top of the list, the guards were on both sides, and the officials of Zhaojia City were all below, and Hu Hancai was silent at this time.
"I concurrently hold this official position, just concurrently, this Zhaojia City Government, Director Hu will not be able to leave for a while, from today onwards, Director Hu of the Houya, you can live in peace, the Central Fleet has found a house on the side of the oblique alley, where will I work first."
After Mo Longxiang finished speaking, he pointed to the southeast, this finger was not for Hu Hancai, but for the officials of Zhaojia City below.
Hu Hancai said very simply: "Now that the country is in crisis, I hope everyone will work together, I won't say much, I'll clean it up tomorrow, and I won't bother Mayor Mo here." After saying this, Hu Hancai saluted again, and what he thought in his heart was: Lao Tzu's national scepter, see you again in the future, you can't kneel down and salute me like this?
As soon as Hu Hancai left, Mo Longxiang's face changed, and with a serious tone, he pulled Li Guangya and said: "Li Guangya, you may not know, I am also the mayor, and there must be a main manager. Today, General Li Guangya concurrently serves as the first deputy mayor of Zhaojia City, the president of the Zhaojia City Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the director of the Zhaojia Rebellion Administration. ”
The officials of the city government looked at each other, but no one spoke. Mo Longxiang waited for a while and said, "Since everyone hasn't spoken, so be it." ”
After waiting for a while, Mo Longxiang continued: "Who and where is the list of the city treasury?" ”
Zhao Shaojie, deputy mayor of Zhaojia City, came out of the queue of subordinate officials and sent the list of the listed officials, and Mo Longxiang took it and gave it directly to Li Guangya.
This move, from the perspective of officialdom, is to elevate Li Guangya, and the subtext is: Li Guangya is responsible for all practices.
Li Guangya took it, looked at it carefully for a while, looked up and asked, "Which of you is in charge of the city treasury?" ”
Zhao Shaojie stood up and said: "The city treasury has always been the housekeeper of Director Hu, and what we can have is this record." ”
"There is no distinction between the city treasury and the family treasury, which is common in the local area. We have a detailed list of the city treasury that you reported to the provincial government, and there is a big difference between the one you gave me, the things of the city treasury, tomorrow morning, we will send someone to sort it out, now is the period of chaos, I hope you Haihan! "Li Guangya, who has been on the battlefield, when he says this, it seems that he has a killing atmosphere, the list of provincial treasury? There is no list of provincial treasury, but Bai Shi (Wei Huaizu), who was settling the general ledger behind the scenes, gave him a copy of his accounts at that time, which official took how much and what he took, and it was clearly written. Mo Longxiang turned out to be in this mess, and with this, he was not afraid that this group of people would be disobedient.
The farce of the city treasury in the afternoon of the same day was funny and lamentable, and some officials who were close to Hu Hancai naturally turned a blind eye, while some of those who had taken advantage of it were not so close to each other, and even borrowed usury to repay the money.
It was the first time that Mo Longxiang had taken over a city, and although the city was in danger, this taste made a young man under the age of 30 feel like he wanted to show off.
"I'm the mayor, hahahaha, General Li, in the future, if you say that if I am imprisoned, should I make a courtyard and name it Zhaojiayuan?"
Bai Shi looked at Mo Longxiang, who was a little elated, and was a little amused. Li Guangya poured cold water: "Pay attention to yourself, Zhaojia's affairs are not so simple." ”
27 years old, at the age of ordinary people, they may be able to become the deputy captain of a team or the deputy mayor of a town, they can be regarded as capable people, but on the side of the emperor's relatives, they can't even be excited for a moment.
Bai Shi then Li Guangya said: "The contract will be signed tomorrow, and the signing of the contract will be a catastrophe, the price of grain on the twin islands will skyrocket, and the little things in our city treasury will be stable for about a day or two, and it will not be able to be transported outside, and finally Zhaojia's meat will be rotten!" ”
Obviously, Bai Shi's words are better than Li Guangya's spirit of cold water, Mo Longxiang asked rhetorically: "What can we do in a day or two?" ”
Bai Su opened the map of the twin islands, pointed to the map and said: "We need to open the channel, the twin islands fleet lives on the west coast to block foreign ships, we need to do some tricks, we want to choose a port of thugs on the west coast to land, if the twin islands fleet still wants to find something, it is legally unreasonable, so the ships will come in." As for fighting, how to fight, that's another matter. ”
Mo Longxiang said: "You can only do this for a day or two? ”
Li Guangya looked at the map, changed his previous expression, and said: "Beidao Province, to put it in the vernacular, it is an island, and when the ship comes in, it can land." ”
Bai Shi nodded, pointed his finger to a coast very close to Zhaojia, and said: "Yes, this place under the map area is called Yakoujiao, which is an offshore cliff, the more it is a hundred meters high, this place is insurmountable by ordinary people, so there is no one to defend, and you can choose to land here if you are close to Zhaojia." ”
"The hundred-meter-long cliff, how do you let us carry the grain?" Li Guangya glared at Bai Shi.
Bai Shi smiled and said, "Who asked you to bring food?" Isn't the food in Zhaojia City fragrant? ”
