Chapter 397: Dazed
"To reveal to one person, ten, ten to a hundred, it means that it is a secret from the continent. //γ ο½bβ€γ cOM\\ Naturally, when the county government knew about it, the news that Chu Zhen was about to return to Beijing began to circulate in Hangzhou Chengfang City.
Some people think that this is clearly a rumor. After all, Chu Zhen has only been in office for one year, and there are still two years to expire, how could he be transferred back to the capital so quickly, which is supported by most of the people, however, a small number of people think that the news came from the county government. The credibility is high, and there will be no fakes. It has also been recognized by some people.
Pros and cons. The two were at loggerheads, and neither could convince anyone, but there was still a small conspiracy theorist who quietly spread their opinions. Chu Zhen was not promoted to return to Beijing. It's embezzlement and bribery. was signed by the imperial court, so he had to go back in disgrace.
Immediately, it was unanimously condemned by everyone. Chu Zhen's official reputation is still good, and his actions after taking office are obvious to all, for the third view. Even some of the priests who contradict it do not believe it at all. Not to mention the common people who have benefited from it.
Rumors spread for a few days. But there is no intention of stopping, because the county government. To be precise, Chu Zhen has not come forward to refute the rumors, and he doesn't know if he is busy with official business, he doesn't know what is going on outside, or he secretly acquiesces. Anyway, such an attitude. It also caused a burst of speculation among the people. After all, the farm has been busy, and being idle is also idle, and it is understandable to gossip occasionally.
Especially burning the privacy of celebrities, if there is no unwarranted speculation and discussion. That's so sorry for myself. Naturally, as simple and kind people, they definitely don't want Chu Zhen to leave office, because good officials who are close to the people are not so easy to meet.
There are many rumors. But no one dared to ask Chu Zhen face to face, after all, in order to satisfy your curiosity, you can't ask the county magistrate for verification, if it turns out that this matter is really false, wouldn't it seem that you are too boring, and you want to entertain Shangguan. The charges are huge, but naturally no one wants to take that risk.
Relatively speaking, Liu Renzhi, the chief secretary of the county government, may be the person who should know the truth of this matter. So after a few days, I asked people or bluntly. Or under the side knock, he is really annoyed. Ordinary officials are just fine, and they can also scold them for neglecting their duties with a straight face, but there are also some friends who are curious to inquire, and it is not easy to categorically refuse, only to speculate that they don't know.
Naturally, others don't believe it. thought that he was hiding it out of scruples, Liu Renzhi had no choice but to go out less. Stay in the county office in the morning and evening. It's a lot quieter.
In fact, as Chu Zhi's deputy, some things, such as opening up salt fields, are of course clear to Liu Renzhi. So he also thinks the rumors are true, the problem is. Chu Zhen did not speak, and the official documents of the imperial court had not yet arrived. Who dares to say this kind of thing lightly. Something went wrong. How to afford it, you must know that silence is gold, and it is the way to do things.
When Liu Renzhi warned himself to speak less. When doing more things. A servant came in and said, "The master book, the county magistrate is invited."
With a hint of inexplicability and a little uneasiness, I came to the signing room. But seeing that Chu Zhen's hands were not free, and he was piling up a mountain of account books on the table, Liu Ren's heart moved slightly. Hurriedly saluted and said hello.
The Lord sat down and smiled. instructed the servant to serve tea, and he kept sorting the booklets.
Seeing this, Liu Renzhi, who was on the side, naturally stepped forward to help, compared with Chu Qian, he was more familiar with the county government's classics, slice cutting kung fu, so he classified them and distributed them everywhere according to categories.
Breathe a sigh of relief. Chu Zhen smiled. He took a sip of tea and said softly, "It seems that compared to me, the master book is more suitable for these things."
With a light beat in his heart, Liu Renzhi said with a smile: "Without him, my hands are familiar." β
"Lord, I have some private matters to deal with these days, county government affairs, and I have to bother you again Chu Zhen smiled.
"Assisting the county is originally the position of a subordinate official, and he does not dare to be called a laborer. Liu Renzhi said.
That's right, Chu Zhen chuckled: "But after a while, maybe it's the other way around." β
There was a hint of surprise in the surprise, Liu Ren's heart was a little dazed, and he almost couldn't help but ask Chu Zhen what he meant by this, but fortunately, the official outside the door came in to report that someone had come to visit the magistrate, and Liu Renzhi woke up, so as not to lose his temper. "Lord. In the future, the county government will ask you to refer to it. Chu Zhen smiled and left. Leaving Liu Renzhi, who was in doubt, thinking hard, his mood fluctuated, and he was full of joy and sorrow;
In the living room, Chu Zhi said happily: "Brother Yang is here." If you miss it, forgive your sins
Yang Chengping returned the salute, saying that he didn't dare. When the servants retreated with tea, they saw that there was no one around. But he congratulated: "Your Excellency is promoted." But I didn't have time to congratulate. It's a faux pas
In fact, for those who have a background and strong connections, they always pay attention to the dynamics of Bianjing, which is their way of survival. And for cooperation reasons, Yang Chengping also paid more attention to the situation about Chu Qian, so he naturally understood this matter faster than many people, and also understood the purpose of Chu Zhen inviting him to come.
Really. After a few words of greeting, Chu Zhen directly cut to the chase and said: "Brother Yang, you must also know that after some time, the imperial court should come out and take over the enemy field, you and me!" The contract between them can only end here, to thank Brother Yang, thanks to Brother Yang's ribs, so that the county treasury is abundant, to help the people, but its merits are not shown, it is really not worthy of Brother Yang's sincerity
"Don't dare, if it weren't for the adult's order. How could Yang have this thought, besides, this matter is just an easy move for me, but I have made a lot of profits because of it, and I am ashamed and uneasy Yang Chengping said, after several temptations, I found that Chu Zhen really did not know about his sale of illicit salt. He was naturally ashamed of his villainous heart.
"Brother Yang is a businessman, and it is natural to pursue profits, so why feel uneasy, just play with benevolence in his heart, and often help the poor, which is also a meritorious and good deed." Chu Zhen said with a smile, knowing that Yang Chengping was quite a Confucian businessman. I don't do anything less to give back to society. You don't have to persuade yourself.
After a few polite words, Yang Chengping got up and said goodbye, and made an appointment to visit again in the future, but the location was changed to Bianliang City.
Time passed day by day, and the rumors slowly subsided, one was to see that Chu Zhen was still in office. There was no departure from the left, and the second was that the people who should know also received the news, and there was no time to talk about it, so they were busy inviting Chu Zhen to the banquet. Nonsense, the Beijing official of the six products, whether he has real power or not. It's also enviable enough.
Who knows if there will be a time to ask for help in the future, if you don't hurry up and contact and make friends, do you really want to wait for people to leave and be promoted, don't talk about daylily at that time, even the steaming tea is cold.
Ren Han warmly invited, Chu Zhen was embarrassed to refuse, it can be said that he feasted and drank every day, and in the end he couldn't bear it, and after saying that he was sick, he had to cut the piece quietly. But I can't be idle, you must know that when I go to work, I will naturally be light and simple, but I can't do it without worrying when I go back.
Needless to say emotionally, it has been more than a month, but I haven't seen Shen Yao return from Yingtian, so I can only wait and see for a few more days. This is what makes Chu Zhen feel disturbed, he originally thought that he would be in office for two years, and he would have a lot of time to solve the matter between them, and he didn't want to obey people's wishes. Disrupted the whole plan.
There are also some trivial matters, such as the resettlement of the Xiling Seal Society, which is not difficult to solve, for a long time. Naturally, I recruited a few loyal shopkeepers, and left them to take care of it, if it really doesn't work, it can all be transferred to Bianliang, anyway, it's just a few sets of molds, and there are just some guys. Half a ship can be loaded and transported.
In addition, another thing that shocked Chu Zhen suddenly happened. Go. β
The big clear eyes were covered with a layer of mist, the first child's pretty face was lowered, she nodded timidly slightly, a pair of slender hands in the sleeves, and ten delicate onion fingers were twisted white.
Throwing the account book in his hand aside, Chu Zhen asked in surprise: "Why?" β
The black and white bright eyes were dripping with a little crystal, Chu'er Sakura's lips moved slightly, and she said softly: "The business of the Indian Society is booming. It would be a pity to give up. And the proprietor is not there, and those shopkeepers must be slacking off, so I want to stay and take care of the business for the son.
"Then move it all back to the capital Anyway, it's just some equipment, where you can't use it, Chu Zhen smiled: "Move into Yangjia Village, let your father be responsible." β
"That boy doesn't want the Jiangnan market. Chu'er's voice was a little louder, and he shouted, this is Chu Qian's planning goal for the Indian Society, with Hangzhou as the center, gradually encroaching on neighboring states and counties, and finally encompassing the market in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Actually, you can change it. way, Bianjing is the center of the world, and with that, it expands to the four directions. The master of the royal road, within two or three years, will be able to spread all over the world Chu Zhi said, stepped forward gently, took Chu'er into his arms, and said softly: "Okay, Chu'er, tell me the truth, why don't you want to go back, don't you miss Uncle Yang and Xiaoliu." β
Chu'er's body trembled slightly, quietly lying on Chu Zhi's chest, two lines of tears suddenly slid down silently from his eyes, bit by bit, gradually, like a surging tide, in a moment, Chu Zhi's clothes were wet, confused, inexplicable for a while, Chu Zhi didn't care about the reason and hurriedly comforted.
Half a sound, Chu'er calmed down slightly. The circles under his eyes were slightly red, and he said lightly: "When the prince returns to Beijing this time, I am afraid that he will be happy to get married."
Chu Zhen was shocked in his heart, and it was unspeakable for a long time. After a long time, I have been exposed to the rules of the world, and I know that my original plan was so naΓ―ve, and as long as the family situation of Chu'er improves, I can marry her as my wife, and now it seems that it is just a joke. The gap between the nobles and the commoners is a world of mud.
However, the more restraints on his body, layer upon layer, Chu Zhen could no longer let go, and the balance in his heart did not know which way to swing his finger. How can you not be confused.
