Chapter 420: Embarrassed Wang Wenyuan!
In the past few days, everyone in Sha Tin County has been talking about one thing, that is, about the donation of students in Sha Tin County.
At the main entrance of the county school, Lord Lu has asked people to prepare a stone tablet that is more than one zhang high, this tablet is called the Monument of Merit for Students, but all the people who donate to Shatin County School will leave their names on the tablet, the most eye-catching piece of the stele has a total of 100 names, the first donor, the first to occupy the position, this 100 names, the amount of donation funds needs at least 100 taels of silver.
Donate more than 500 taels of silver, and the benevolent people can recommend a family to enter the county school, the most eye-catching is that the shopkeeper of Wanhelou Ren Jiagen donated 1,000 taels of silver, and his name is engraved in the front position, and his son Ren Yuequan is also qualified to enter the county to study.
At this time, Shatin County is lively, although Shatin County is not prosperous, but there are many businesses, although the people are poor, but there are many rich people.
Ren Jiagen can afford to donate silver, is Boss Wang of the West Sichuan Chamber of Commerce short of silver? In the eyes of a big business owner like Boss Wang, what is Ren Jiagen as a restaurant owner?
So, Boss Wang also generously donated 1,000 taels of silver, and then several bosses were not to be left behind and donated 500 taels of silver, and these bosses arranged for their children to study in the county.
Shatin County and even the entire Liangzhou are not prosperous, but for businessmen, their thoughts on changing their lowly status are the most urgent!
The Dakang Dynasty was a farmer and a businessman, and the merchant was ranked last, and the status was naturally the lowest, and the merchant was not allowed to wear silk and satin if he was rich, and he was not allowed to take a sedan chair if he was rich, and he was not allowed to wear boots if he was rich. If there is nothing the merchants can do about it in Jiangnan, it is difficult for them to change their origins.
But in a place like Liangzhou, businessmen can change their nationality, here the power lord is in charge, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the Dakang law order exists in name only, besides, most of the merchants in Longyou are from other places, and they go back to three generations, and there are almost no locals.
Many of his business registrations are no longer examinable, Longyou is very poor, lack of silver, money can make ghosts grind, and the business uses silver to open the way, even if it is a problem like changing his birth, he can be invincible.
However, for businessmen, although they have changed their background, they cannot really become masters in the eyes of others, and many businessmen have no other skills in their lives except for business.
Therefore, their generation is not successful, and all hope is pinned on the next generation, the so-called everything is inferior, only the reading is high, an iron rooster like Ren Jiagen, is very stingy with other things, only his son can study and study, he can do whatever it takes.
There are many people who have the same thoughts as Ren Jiagen, and these people have become the objects of Lu Zheng's unity, no, Lu Zheng is just a clever means to make these big shopkeepers and businessmen who are difficult to deal with on weekdays line up one by one to send silver!
And at this moment, it happened that Wang Wenyuan asked the people below to strictly check the businesses in the county, and these merchants were even more scrambling, lest the silver be sent late.
In these years, where can the people who do business stand up to inspection? In a place like Longyou, where are there so many businesses nesting here, if you don't keep an eye on the trade with the north?
Therefore, businessmen are like stepping on a tightrope, always cautious, walking on thin ice. Over time, these businessmen also realized how to deal with officials.
Just like now, their names can be engraved on the towering stone monument at the entrance of the county school, which will definitely make the people of the county pass it on to each other. In Lu Zheng's words, these people are all good people who are dedicated to helping students, where is it possible to communicate privately with the barbarians of the northern Turks?
Dian Shi Wei Qing was also embarrassed, and the head catcher Ban Biao felt even more headache, now in this situation, a group of errand workers in the county government are all very tight, Kou Xiangwen is taking a salary from them, and they can still maintain their loyalty to the county lord.
Because they can more or less think of some way, they went to the street and found these businessmen, can these shopkeepers not reward them with face?
At this time, Wang Wenyuan asked them to poke the merchants' nests and turn their faces with the merchants, it is indeed difficult to do, but it is difficult to disobey the fate, Wen Qing and Ban Biao These people also pointed to the county lord to enjoy the food!
So, they went into the sky to find a way, no coincidentally, Lu Zheng did such a thing at this time, and they happened to report this matter to the county lord.
Lu Zheng's county has to rely on the help of businessmen, Wang Wenyuan boasts that he attaches great importance to education, and this matter affects the whole body, and he can't ignore it!
The merchants have just donated silver, and their names are still engraved on the stone tablet, and the people of the whole county are praising each other, at this time they have done too much, can this be appropriate?
……
In the county government's back house, the weather is gradually starting to get hot, there is little rain in the north, the weather is very stuffy, Wang Wenyuan is holding a fan in his hand, and his mood is quite irritable.
Master Chen Xiaojing stood at the bottom and didn't speak, occasionally glanced at Wang Wenyuan with his eyes, for Chen Xiaojing, he has been very entangled recently, his first entanglement is the matter of the fifth aunt in the county government's back house, this woman is getting bolder and bolder, and something will happen sooner or later if she goes on like this.
Even if Wang Wenyuan trusts Chen Xiaojing again, he can't tolerate Chen Xiaojing putting a big green hat on him, Chen Xiaojing is now suffering from this matter.
In addition, at present, Lu Zheng is infiltrating more and more in Shatian County, originally Wang Wenyuan thought that he was the county respect, sitting firmly on the high platform, and letting Lu Zheng and Kou Xiangwen pinch each other, and he was balanced in the middle.
But the current result is that the contradiction between Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen has intensified, and the battle between the two hidden in the dark is now becoming more and more explicit.
And Lu Zheng is very clever left and right, not only the two adults get along well with him, but the county government, officials at all levels also get along well with him, Chen Xiaojing is still carrying the red silver ticket in his arms!
Wang Wenyuan is old, just like the sun at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the sunset and the mountains, and the rivers and rivers, even if he can still die without stiffening at the moment, but he can't stand the test of time.
And Lu Zheng is like the rising sun, now it is already amazing, Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen have already lost the upper hand in the fight with him, and over time, Lu Zheng will only become more and more powerful and stronger.
People go to high places, water flows to low places, Chen Xiaojing's ambition is not too big, but he is also rational enough, he really wants to take advantage of the recent opportunity to be able to devote himself to Lu Zheng's door, so that he can rest easy for the rest of his life.
"Filial piety, why don't you speak? Are you thinking about something? Wang Wenyuan said suddenly.
"Uh...... Ah......" Chen Xiaojing completely sleepwalked, and was woken up by Wang Wenyuan, he realized that he had lost his temper, he paused, and organized the language:
"Master, Lord Lu's hand is beautiful, it's really killing three birds with one stone! Who would have thought that we had thought of many ways to do such a big thing as running a county school, but it was difficult to act, and Lord Lu would solve it with just one stone?
I had to take this matter, and I was really convinced. ”
Wang Wenyuan put away the folding fan and said, "Hey, filial piety, I didn't let you slip your beard and pat the horse, what should I do in this situation now?" This Lord Lu has become more and more famous in the county, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the people of Shatian County will only have Lord Lu in their eyes, and there will be no more Lord Wang! ”
Chen Xiaojing was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Master, you are eating it!" Master, in fact, you can't be emotional at this time, and the more important it is at this time.
The situation in Shatin County is getting better and better this year, which is like a peach tree that we have raised for many years, and this year it finally blossoms and bears fruit.
Master, Lord Lu can be so smooth sailing because you and Lord Kou both want to pick peaches, but Lord Lu is the only one who is so good and disdainful of it.
And things in the world are often so strange, the more you want to get something, the more you can't get it. And unintentionally planting willows to become shade,"
Wang Wenyuan's brows furrowed deeply, he knew that what Chen Xiaojing said made sense, but for him, patience was really painful.
Politics is patience, Wang Wenyuan has not learned anything else in his life, but he has learned patience, he endured for more than 20 years before he got a chance to be an official, he has worked in the county position for several years, and now it is time to be patient.
There are many people in this world who know how to show strength, and few people who can show weakness, Wang Wenyuan is a master in this regard, but today, he is a little unstable emotionally, and said:
"Is it really just nothing? Quietly, plainly waiting? ”
Chen Xiaojing said: "Master, you can also do something, such as going to the county school again to see the progress of the new school." The plaque of the new school has not yet been inscribed, and the county lord is qualified to leave the ink treasure to the students of Shatin County School in the future.
Also, those businessmen donated silver and were in the limelight, but they still owed a fire, the so-called finishing touch, if the adults could set up a banquet in Wanhelou and invite all these businessmen to a banquet, this matter would be more perfect! ”
"I ......" Wang Wenyuan took a deep breath, his mood suddenly became bad, and Chen Xiaojing said: "Don't forget the county honor, you are the county lord of Shatian County, whether it is Lord Lu or Lord Kou, they are all your right-hand men."
Lord Kou has done a good job, and our county's tax money and food are unprecedentedly abundant, which is the merit of your lordship. Lord Lu has reborn our county in terms of county learning and education, which is also the merit of the county lord, at a critical time, if you don't come forward, who can remember that you are the county honor? Chen Xiaojing said word by word.
Wang Wenyuan's face was cloudy, what did he do the Shatin County Order for? Why is he so keen on promotion? Is it just for the sake of being an official?
Obviously not, Wang Wenyuan likes the taste of holding authority, holding authority, it seems that he can control everything, that feeling is intoxicating and difficult to extricate himself, now in Shatian County, Wang Wenyuan is becoming more and more unable to grasp Lu Zheng and Kou Xiangwen......
