Chapter 77: No private interview
Yao Danian saluted three glasses of wine and said, "Lord Wang, let me introduce you to these seven, the first is the squire of Liujia Village, Liu Dezhu!" This is the squire of Zhaojia Village, Zhao can live! This is the squire of Houjia Village, waiting to live! This is the squire of Chengjia Village, Cheng can live! .....”
Su Bai roughly remembered their surnames and names, hehe~
After everyone introduced each other, the dishes were also on the table, and everyone was eating and discussing, Liu Dezhu seemed to ask casually: "Lord Wang, I don't know how you plan to manage Juxian County after you take office?" Su Bai smiled: "As in the past, now Juxian County has let Lord Yao govern very well, and I won't add to it", hearing Su Bai's words, several squires breathed a sigh of relief, what they were afraid of was that Su Bai would come up and plan to pry their interests, in the context of Su Bai's strength, it was useless for them to resist, and now when they heard that Su Bai planned to follow Cao Guixiao, the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, and everyone could let go.
Su Bai smiled, picked up his wine glass and said: "But I plan to open a workshop in our county, and this one behind me is my classmate, he wants to open a workshop in our county to produce some building materials, which can be regarded as promoting the economy of our county!" Several squires looked at each other.
Lord Yao, the building materials produced by my classmates need to use limestone, I don't know if we have them in our county? Yao Danian pondered for a while, looked back at Xian Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue nodded and smiled: "Lord Huiwang, there is really a lime mine in our county, which is on the east mountain not far from the county seat" Su Bai sighed? This was a bit unexpected, the squire was often the biggest landlord or merchant in the village, Su Bai's original plan was to let them sell him some limestone cheaply, but he didn't expect that there would be a lime mine!
Su Bai asked, "I don't know how Dongshan found out that there are mineral deposits?" Jiang Yue said with a smile: "These are all recorded in the county annals, which were discovered by a merchant in the previous dynasty, and Dongshan was also taken down at that time, and later died and was in war." Su Bai was stunned, he was a businessman again, and he remembered that he was also a businessman before his 100 acres of wasteland. Was commerce so developed in the Sui Dynasty? So many businessmen?
Su Bai nodded and said, "Then I don't know who Dongshan belongs to now?" Jiang Yue thought for a while: "At present, it still belongs to this county, and there is no belonging!" Su Bai's eyes lit up, this is simply God helping himself, nodded and didn't say anything else, wait for tomorrow to let Wang Fatzi find two people who know how to be able to make sense, let them confirm the lime mine, if they can really find it, then they will save a lot of money!
Everyone could also see the joy on Su Bai's face, and they also understood that on the surface, he was talking about building a workshop for his brother behind him, but in fact, he built it for himself, and they all said that if Su Bai had any instructions, he must tell them that they would definitely help. As for whether it is true or not, everyone tacitly agreed, the wine banquet was quite enjoyable, until it was a little dark, and several people all retired, Yao Danian had his own house in the county, Su Bai could only sleep in the county office, this is also the residence of the officials assigned by the imperial court, Han Laohu They can also live, Yao Danian has already prepared the luggage or something, it can be said that it is very intimate.
......
"Ugly cow, that 'cement' you said will use limestone?" Wang Fugui saw that there was no one left and right, and whispered, Su Bai smiled, this is not a secret, and said with a smile: "Yes, in fact, it is limestone, plus clay, and some aluminum ore or iron ore can be used, and you can burn out cement", Wang Fugui nodded as if he didn't understand, thought about it and said, "Where do you plan to build a workshop?" Su Bai shook his head and said: "Don't worry, tomorrow you go to find two people who know how to be able to understand the art of public opinion, and see if there is really a lime mine, if so, how many mineral deposits can there be, if the mineral deposits are rich, we will build a workshop in Dongshan!" ”
Wang Fatzi nodded to show that he understood, the backyard of the county government is very large, at least it is easy to live with more than 20 people, but it must not be one person in one room, only four people can sleep in a single room, Su Bai, Wang Xiaobao, Wang Fugui and Han Laohu, and the rest of the people have to sleep in one room.
Today, I am still an outsider, and when I get up tomorrow morning and hand over to Yao County, I will be the master of this county! Think about it, don't say it, it's really a little excited, I can't sleep, I just went to the archives to read the county chronicles, and I can't waste this unforgettable ability......
......
Early the next morning, Yao Danian came to the county office with more than 20 carriages, it seemed that he had packed up his belongings overnight last night, and Su Bai had a black line on his head, how anxious he was to go.
The two completed the handover in the county government hall, and the three classes of officials and so on all arrived, a total of less than twenty people, eight people in the soap class, four people in the fast class, nine people in the Zhuang class, two small officials, one cell head, and three prison officers, this is all the manpower of the county government.
Here I will explain to you the three classes of officials, the soap class officials are the kind of TV dramas staged, after the county order shouted to the court, they shouted 'mighty' on both sides, and there were also those who beat the prisoners, this is the soap class, which is equivalent to the current bailiff. It's easy to work quickly, catch fast, lead criminals, and catch bad guys, all of which are their responsibilities, which is equivalent to the current criminal police. The last Zhuang squad is responsible for guarding important places in the county government, such as granaries, silver warehouses, etc., which is equivalent to modern armed police.
Don't introduce the cell boss or anything, after the handover, Yao Danian happily drove the carriage away, and the remaining more than 20 people looked at Su Bai in the front hall, Su Bai coughed lightly and said: "What you usually do, go and do it now", the people below agreed, and they all disappeared in a blink of an eye. Wang Fugui also returned to Chang'an in a carriage, and he was going to find two people who knew how to come back.
Su Bai went back and forth twice in the county office, and he couldn't see anything in the county office, on the first day, he went out for a private visit to Weifu! Hahaha, I like the word! took Wang Xiaobao to change into civilian clothes, thought about it, the two of them were not very safe, and called Han Laohu, Han Laohu was wearing a suit of armor, Su Bai asked him to change into civilian clothes, the big man went back, and changed into the 'tights' when Su Bai first saw him.
Su Bai now knows where to go at the first stop, the tailor shop! Buy suitable clothes for Han Laohu first, this look is too awkward. Han Laohu pinned a horizontal knife, wearing a 'tights' painting style is too beautiful~
......
The most intuitive feeling of the main streets of Juxian County and Chang'an is that they are chaotic, and even the road surface is uneven. The second is pedestrians, whether it is clothing or the flow of people, they are much worse than Chang'an. The third point is the vendors, there is not a single stall in Juxian County, and there are all shops on both sides, which makes Su Bai feel a little strange.
After asking passers-by twice, Su Bai and the others finally found a tailor shop that sold ready-to-wear clothes, and picked them for Han Laohu for a long time, and finally only had an earthy brown dress that he was wearing. This rough man didn't care about this, but was a little embarrassed to let Su Bai break the cost. Su Bai settled the account indifferently, and the clothes were not expensive, so he inquired casually: "Boss, the three of us came to Chang'an to play, why don't we have vendors on the street?" ”。
The boss carefully looked at no one on the left and right, and then whispered: "Our county, the stall fee is too high, and the vendors can't afford it at all. The vendors can't have any money left after a month's work, and who will set up a stall over time? Hey, even those of us who open shops are often blackmailed by them! Lao Ben was a little resentful, looked at Su Bai's surprised eyes, covered his mouth a little nervously and said, "The old man is talking too much, what are you talking about these things to the guests."
Su Bai shook his head and said, "My husband is too worried", after paying the money, the three of them walked out of the tailor's shop, Su Bai's eyebrows couldn't help frowning, now it's the second year of Zhenguan! Li Shimin has just ascended the throne for two years, and his requirements for officials are particularly strict, how dare these small officials reach out to the people? No, they are not even small officials, who gave them the guts? It seems that Yao Danian must have been very 'popular' as an official over the years!
No wonder Wang San was so close to the county before, and he only set up a stall on the official road, and he didn't come to the county, so there was still such a thing.
Han Laohu obviously liked his new clothes very much, his face was full of joy, and he smiled at Su Bai and said, "Childe, where are we going next?" Su Bai's expression was a little ugly, if a city wants to prosper, businessmen are a very important part! Isn't a merchant also a merchant? Hearing Han Laohu's question, Su Bai said, "Let's take a turn on the street first." Xiaobao, you take a closer look, most of the shops on the street are what kind of shops, what they sell, how is the customer flow, how attentive the guys are, etc."
Su Bai's words were better than the holy decree to Wang Xiaobao, and he didn't ask the reason, and after nodding, he stared carefully at the surrounding shops, as if he was a thief who came out to step on it. Su Bai and Han Laohu also stared carefully, and soon Su Bai found a lot of things wrong, such as there were no beggars, even in a prosperous place like Chang'an, there were beggars, and there were no beggars on the streets of this county.
There is another point that Su Bai feels a little strange, Su Bai understands that there is no Qinglou Hook Fence in Juxian County, after all, it is so close to Chang'an, it is normal not to have it, but if there is not even a gambling house, is it not normal? In Chang'an Plough, I can't wait to walk less than a hundred meters to have a gambling house, but there is not one here? Could it be that the gambling houses here are all in the dark? No, it's not illegal to open a gambling house in Datang.
"Something is wrong" Su Bai touched his smooth chin, there must be a demon when something is abnormal, and he should still find a local to ask about it......
