The weather in May is already getting a little hotter, and Xia Mingzhi hides in the shade of the trees next to the road at the bus station to wipe his sweat.

Liu Jiazhang, the new bookkeeper who followed him out to inspect the work, followed his father Liu Xihe to stay in the duty room for so long, and saw the opportunity quickly, so he ran to the convenience store on the side of the road and bought two popsicles and came back.

"Assistant Xia, come, let's eat a popsicle to relieve fatigue."

"Hahaha, then you're welcome."

Saltpeter has long been used to make ice in China, but it has always been used by only a few wealthy people.

Liu Ximing, in line with the idea of enriching consumer goods, specially instructed the workshop to recruit some people to set up a popsicle workshop.

According to the formula provided by Liu Ximing, the workshop used milk, cold boiled water and white sugar to combine different flavors of fruit juice to develop more than a dozen popsicles in one go, and the cost of each popsicle may only be a dime.

When I arrived at the convenience store in the shopping mall, I sold each popsicle for 5 dimes, which was not cheap, but the demand was still in short supply.

Xia Mingzhi knew the origin of his subordinates clearly, and this popsicle was nothing to Liu Jiazhang, so he didn't have any burden to eat.

"Ziyo, you really have to eat popsicles in summer, Jiazhang, what do you say your second uncle thinks, you even know all this, it's really strange."

Liu Jiazhang also followed the popsicle around, and when he heard Xia Mingzhi's words, he smiled and said: "My second uncle is not ordinary, I heard my father say that when he was born, the yard was red......

Maintaining Liu Ximing's status has now become the physiological reaction of the Liu family, and since listening to Liu Xihe's version, Liu Jiazhang and others have to say a few words when they see people.

Xia Mingzhi didn't know how many times he had heard this, but he still heard it with relish, and now no one in the entire Liujia Village had a little guess about Liu Ximing.

Although Liu Ximing repeatedly ordered and reaffirmed the prohibition of feudal superstition, Xia Mingzhi now claimed to be a person in the officialdom, of course he knew that it was one thing for Shangguan to say and one thing to do.

You don't see that Liu Xihe has only been reprimanded a few times after saying so many times, if the second young master really has this heart, he can just be exempted from being the deacon on duty.

Liu Jiazhang blew Liu Ximing's "past" for a while, and took the opportunity to chat: "Assistant Xia, what are we doing when we come out with the sun for a long time?" ”

Xia Mingzhi ate the last bit of popsicle in a few bites, walked a few steps forward out of the shade of the tree, and threw the popsicle sticks into the trash can on the side.

Only then did he turn his head and explain to Liu Jiazhang in a whisper, "It has been a few months since the establishment of our Money Ticket Bureau, and nearly 3 million yuan of Yuluo Money Ticket has been issued. ”

"The second young master recently ordered, let us go to the market to investigate first, first, to see how the use of this money ticket is, and second, to see the supply of money and goods in the village."

Liu Jiazhang suddenly realized, he still has to continue to ask for advice, when he asked him to come to the account room to do things, he said, "The rules of our Liu family are different from other families, only those who have the ability can stand on their feet, you go to the account room to learn more from Xia Xieli." ”

However, at this time, the public carriage on Weigong Avenue had just arrived, and Xia Mingzhi hurriedly pulled Liu Jiazhang and squeezed up along the crowd.

"Lao Qi, go to the village office."

"Holo"

Xia Mingzhi said to Lao Qi who was driving, and finally took out two dimes of money tickets from his sleeve pocket and threw them into the small box next to Lao Qi, and took Liu Jiazhang to the back to find a place to sit down.

The account office is responsible for the payment of wages to the whole village, and Xia Mingzhi has been the head of the branch bureau for a period of time, and he has some impressions of most people in the village.

However, most of the people who followed up in the car looked at Xia Mingzhi and Liu Jiazhang with envious eyes.

Everyone could hear it clearly, they went to the village office, and they thought they were the "cadres" of the village office.

In the simple world of the villagers, the village office is in charge of all the things that the whole village eats, drinks and Lazar, isn't it the same as the county government.

If the second young master is the county master, then the cadres of these village offices are all poor scholars, and the salary is high, and being able to be a cadre when they grow up has always been the expectation of parents in the village for their children in recent years.

However, the cadres of Liujia Village are obviously different from those who are officials outside, and the second young master has been talking about eliminating bureaucracy and all people are born equal, so everyone doesn't have much doubt about Xia Mingzhi and the two of them also coming to take the public carriage.

Xia Mingzhi obviously felt everyone's gaze, he glanced at Liu Jiazhang who made a posture with his head held high, and felt a little funny in his heart, after all, he was a young man.

It is obviously inconvenient to talk about official business in the carriage, and the second young master has repeatedly emphasized that the supervisors of each room in the family must have a sense of confidentiality, and I heard that there are still preparations for the establishment of a secret bureau recently?

Coupled with the moral literacy education that has been promoted since the Chinese New Year, the people in the village know some of the rules of not making loud noises in public.

For a while, only the sound of cicadas on the trees on the side of the road and the crunch of the wheels of the carriage against the road could be heard in the carriage, but Xia knew that it was clear.

He looked out through the pale green glass window of the carriage, and Liujia Village looked particularly charming in the afternoon sun.

Xia Ming knew that his hometown was in Xiangyang Mansion in Huguang, and in his impression, even Xiangyang Mansion City did not have the style of Liujia Village.

The neat streets, the clean and tidy hardened pavement, the lush roadside trees, and the rows of cornices on both sides of the road make the whole city reveal a different temperament from the world.

This is the city we have built, Xia Mingzhi felt a wave of emotion inexplicably in his heart, and suddenly, he understood the meaning of what the second young master said, "This is our home, if we don't stand up to defend it, who will defend it".

The entire Liujia Village has now completed the construction of five horizontal and five vertical traffic roads, plus the small alleys interspersed in between, which has almost caught up with the scale of Shunqing Fucheng, so Liu Ximing arranged for the duty room to set up a transportation bureau, which is responsible for public transportation and official transportation in the city.

The carriage passed through one stop and soon arrived at the village office station in the center of the city.

With the People's Square as the center, it has been surrounded by many public buildings such as the ancestral hall, the government office, the police station, the trial office, and the hospital, so it was named the village office area by Liu Ximing.

However, the originally planned Liu family's mansion was not officially built because of the construction period of the whole village, and now Liu Ximing can only work in the government office, and this wave of operations has allowed Liu Ximing to harvest a lot of people's hearts in the village.

Xia Mingzhi took Liu Jiazhang and got out of the car quickly, walked through the slightly bare square, and walked towards an open courtyard on the west side of the square.

The perimeter of the courtyard is divided into several small areas by fences and trees, and together with the square, it forms a large park.

Inside the courtyard are several three-story Chinese-style buildings, and the windows on each floor have been used with the new windows of the glazed workshop, which looks beautiful.

Xia Mingzhi showed his ID to the guard in front of the government affairs office building, and took Liu Jiazhang back to the money ticket bureau under the account office.

In order to pretend to be forced and for the management of the team after the expansion of the team in the future, Liu Ximing made a batch of certificates early by using the characteristics of space, on which each person's head was etched with mental power, and it was very difficult to imitate it.

After a while, he listened to the reports of several subordinates, and took Liu Jiazhang straight to Liu Ximing's office.

"Let's go in", Li Biao got Liu Ximing's order, and took Xia Mingzhi and the two into Liu Ximing's room.

Liu Ximing's room is at least about 50 square meters, and the interior layout is also designed according to the modern Chinese study, with large rows of windows, large bookshelves, and a layer of specially purchased checkered embroidered carpets, the whole room has a unique charm.

"Second Young Master"

"Second Uncle"

"Well, Shansi and Jiazhang are here, please sit down." , Liu Ximing sat behind the big desk and looked like a domineering president, and nodded at the two.

Xia Mingzhi glanced at the layout, and sat down directly after sitting down on the seat opposite Liu Ximing's desk: "Second Young Master, according to your instructions, the Money Ticket Bureau has visited the entire village, and this time I made a special trip to report on the money ticket. ”

"Oh, that's it, then you wait first", Liu Ximing suddenly remembered that he had assigned such a task before.

"Li Biao," he shouted out the door.

"Go and call Su Yan from the commercial house too."

In addition to the police room, the other nine departments of Liujia Village were all working in the government affairs office, and after a while, Su Yan walked into the room.
