Chapter 149: This Is True Wealth!
Since Chen Liang was arrested at the end of last year for being involved in a fraud case, the post of Jinzhou Prefecture Governor Recorder and Military Counselor has been vacant, and there are many people staring at this position, and several older judges are all waiting for this, and there is no less activity in the Ma Beijia Mansion in the second half of the year, but the new envoy has been in office for a short time, and he has not spit out without understanding the situation, so this hot position continues to be vacant.
Thunder on the ground!
Tang Cheng took over the record and joined the military! The position that so many people were looking forward to was snatched by this person who had been in the government for the shortest time and had the least qualifications.
This sudden, without any warning in advance, completely stunned the entire state Yaxi Academy, and almost every sword and pen officer's first reaction after hearing the news was: Why is he? How could it be him!
As soon as Sun Yuanjun left, there was such a thing as the previous Wenhui, and the swords and pens in the West Courtyard were mostly waiting to see how Tang Cheng should be unlucky, but he didn't think that he was not only unlucky, but he was even promoted like this! I'm rì, this thing is really too scorpion, the measure of the horse is really so big?
The other Cao in the west courtyard talked about it, lamenting that the world was bizarre and unpredictable; Cursing the injustice of the sky, there are fortunate people everywhere; There are also people who come together to meditate and ponder the relationship between Tang Cheng and Yao Yuanjun, all in all, on the morning when the news was announced, there was a restlessness in the Yaxi Courtyard of Jinzhou Prefecture.
The atmosphere in Si Tian Cao's official room is a little strange, and after the joy is reluctant, the reason why he is reluctant is that there are emotional factors in it, after all, since the end of last year, Tang Cheng has not been able to get along with them any better; In addition to the emotional factor, what makes everyone reluctant is that Tang Cheng's ascension, who knows what kind of virtue the new judge is? The most important thing is that the thirty flying money at the end of the year is afraid that it will be completely out of play; Among them, there are also people who ponder the vacant judgment seats, and hope and apprehension are intertwined, which makes the atmosphere in the office room more and more strange.
This news was also purely unexpected for Tang Cheng, the records of the state government and the military were not as good as those in the county, but they had to be appointed at least the third class, and many places, such as the east and west of the Yangtze River, were directly appointed by people with meritorious fame. As the function of the direct manager of the yamen of a state, although the recording and military participation is not the main position, when it comes to the power in his hands, it is not small at all, but it is the fat difference among the fat differences!
How did such a fat difference fall on me? Will the old horse agree? This question not only bothered others, but Tang Cheng himself was also puzzled.
"Tongxi, Tongxi", when Tang Cheng, who was in doubt, was coping with the congratulations of his subordinates, Si Tian Caowai walked in and said that the envoy Jun wanted to see Tang join the army.
Watching Tang Cheng walk out of the room with the handyman, all the swords and pens sighed, it is different to be promoted to an official! Normally, it is not easy for a judge to see the assassination.
As the handyman arrived at the official room, Yao Yuanjun saw him come in, smiled and beckoned: "Tang Cheng is here, sit!" How about it, you know the news of being promoted to the secretary of the military and joining the military, right? βγ
"Got it, thank you for your appreciation."
"If you want to say that you appreciate you, it has to be regarded as observation, when the envoy went to the post house last night, the observation envoy praised you a lot", after laughing a few times, Yao Yuanjun took out the official document yesterday, "The more this is the case, Tang Cheng, the more you should do a good job, don't let the observation disappoint the adult, ah!" βγ
"What the lord mentioned", Tang Cheng smiled and took the official document handed over by Yao Yuanjun.
After only reading a few lines of the official document, Tang Cheng's heart jumped "dong", and then he was full of excitement.
And it was done!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tang Cheng read the official document word by word twice, and the doubts in his heart were also settled, now he is no longer a young child who has just entered Yunxi, although he still knows exactly why he was promoted to the record to join the army, but the purpose of the "scapegoat" behind this appointment can be clearly seen.
"My lord, this ......", when Tang Cheng put down the official document in his hand, he already had a bitter look on his face, "The Taoist neither gives money and food, nor does he give a quota for forced labor, if you want money, you don't have money, you don't want people, how can you cultivate this way?" βγ
"Well...... It is clear in the official document that the amount of money, food and conscription needs to be raised by the state, and it is still short when the envoy arrives at the Yaya, so you can go to Ma Beijia to discuss this matter", standing up with the beard under his chin, Yao Rongfu specially came to Tang Cheng's side and patted him on the shoulder gently, "I have high hopes for you in this matter, Tang Cheng, you must not live up to the praise of the Observation Envoy for you, ah!" Go, Ma Beijia is waiting for you in the official room".
"My lord, this ...... This ......", after a long time, Tang Cheng let out a long sigh and turned around and walked out of the room.
Since being transferred to the Jinzhou Yamen, this is the first time Tang Cheng has entered the official room of the horse, the layout of this official room is no different from Yao Rongfu's, the only difference is that there are many books here, and the bookshelves on the whole wall are full of books, among which the bookshelf in the middle of the old horse is still full of bamboo slips and silk books. There are so many books in it, which makes the whole room exude a faint smell of books, and the horse riding in front of the bookshelf looks more and more elegant.
Seeing that it was Tang Cheng who walked in, Ma Bei sat up straight, and the pleasure of playing with a mouse in his heart made him enjoy it very much, so that the corners of his mouth unconsciously showed a rather playful smile.
Quietly looked at Tang Cheng for a while, and the horse didn't call for sitting, nor did he call for tea, "Have you seen Lord Envoy?" βγ
"I've seen it".
"Well, although Er has been promoted to the rank of secretary to join the army, there is no need to take care of these things in the West Courtyard for the time being, and you can just repair the road with peace of mind."
"Thank you for your concern, it's just that my subordinates are young, and they are strong, even if they are building roads, they can also take care of their own errands in the West Courtyard", Tang Cheng deliberately pronounced the word "young" when he spoke, and as he spoke, his eyes fell on Lao Ma's wrinkled forehead and the corners of his eyes.
"The affairs of the West Courtyard have their own own merits", the old horse's face sèyīn sank, "Your duty now is to build roads."
"Oh! It turns out that my military participation in this record is actually in name only? Tang Cheng smiled slightly, and said in the eyes of the old horse: "If you want to build the road, I don't know how much food and how much labor can be given to me?" βγ
"Tang Cheng, it's not been a day or two since you entered the state government, and you naturally know the state background", Lao Ma also smiled, "You don't have to count on the state government for money, food and servitude."
"So that's the case", the smile on Tang Cheng's face did not decrease, "Since this is the case, don't drive the adult, but there are other orders."
"This is what I want to tell you these two things."
"The subordinates already know, farewell", seeing that Lao Ma's words had been finished, Tang Cheng didn't even owe his hand, turned around and walked out of his office.
Tang Cheng walked so neatly that the smile on the corner of Lao Ma's mouth suddenly collapsed, now he was waiting for Tang Cheng to quarrel with him, make trouble with him, and ask him. The more noisy Tang Cheng was, the stronger the pleasure he felt when he refused, who knew he would actually ...... And so it goes.
Not to mention noisy, not even to ask for something. The expectation of pleasure in his heart was too strong, but Tang Cheng's performance was too unexpected, and the huge contrast only made Lao Ma's expectation for a night hang in the air, and this depression really couldn't be said.
"Laugh! There are times when you can't cry when you cry", the angry horse don't slap on the public case, and the force is too great, and the ink in the inkstone is shaken out, and the bright ink is dyed with his most cherished bamboo slips "Historical Records", and when the old horse reacts, seven or eight of the bamboo slips are already black......
β¦β¦ β¦β¦ β¦β¦ β¦β¦ β¦β¦ β¦β¦
After Tang Cheng left Ma Beijia, he turned around and went back to Yao Rongfu's office, "Lord Jun, there is no money, food, and forced labor at all, and the subordinates of this road repair errand are really unable to do it."
"Presumptuous, this is a business matter, how can it be a child's play? In this way, you can be worthy of the trust of the observing adults, the high expectations of the envoys? βγ
"Since the appointment of Lord Jun, his subordinates have always had the heart to repay, but this time the matter is really powerless", Tang Cheng's face was full of grievances, "Ma Beijia announced his personal vendetta, not only did he empty the record of his subordinates to participate in the military, but also the amount of money, food and conscription was nothing, and there was nothing, that is, I have the heart to serve the adult, what can I use to serve?" Please also make your Excellency choose another meritorious."
"What kind of stupid words are you talking about, but you Tang Cheng are valued by the observation adults", Yao Yuanjun got up with a smile on his face and walked to Tang Cheng's side, and personally led him to sit down, "You can't shirk this matter." Well, it is naturally impossible not to give money, food and forced labor, so leave this matter to me to arrange and give you as much as possible. However, Benzhou is barren and poor, and Tang Cheng can't have too much hope. β
"But the road is built with money, food, and forced labor......."
"It's up to man, ah!" , Yao Rongfu interrupted Tang Cheng's words, and patted him on the shoulder again, "This errand belongs to you, so don't shirk it anymore." If you have any other demands besides money and servitude, you should have considered it."
When Tang Cheng heard this, he lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, seeing him like this, Yao Yuanjun, who was caressing the long beard under his chin, laughed.
"Since Lord Jun entrusts the matter of road construction to his subordinates, then his subordinates want this full power, and after his subordinates take over this matter, others cannot interfere", Tang Cheng, who raised his head suddenly, gritted his teeth when he said this, and his expression was full of tragedy that he knew he could not do.
"Accurate!".
"To build a road, you need to occupy an area, although your subordinates have been promoted to record and participate in the military, but during this road construction period, the function of Si Tian Cao Ju Division cannot be lost."
"You are a military officer and a leader of the Division, Tian Cao, and this article is also approved!"
"The construction of the road needs to mobilize a large number of people, the mountains of this state are very difficult, and when it involves the transfer of a large number of people, it is not as smooth as the waterway, and the subordinates require the right to dispose of the Yinyue Wharf in Santan outside the city, and in addition, the taxes paid by the river boats entering and leaving the wharf must also be handed over to the subordinates. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, so I can put some of it away", when talking about this request, Tang Cheng's hand was very tight.
"Accurate!" , Yao Yuanjun of the depression of Santan Yinyue Wharf also knew that he did not hesitate, and he was amused by Tang Cheng's last sentence "No matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat", he said slowly: "Tang Cheng, if you have full power, if you can't build the road, you need to be fully responsible."
Hearing Yao Yuanjun agree to the third one without thinking, Tang Cheng's heart was so excited that he almost jumped out, and he forced his excitement to make his face look very strange, "Yes!" βγ
"Okay, there is sharpness", Yao Yuanjun returned to the public case with a smile and sat down, and wrote quickly between the pen, "Tang Cheng, this matter is important, if it is child's play, the envoy will follow the example of the army, and the military order still has to be signed."
The military order written by Yao Yuanjun is also simple, and after writing down in detail Tang Cheng's presiding over the road repair and the three requirements he put forward, the emphasis is on the last sentence, if the road construction is not harmonious, Tang Cheng bears full responsibility.
This has to be a Tang Dynasty version of the contract with clear rights and responsibilities. The last part of the military order is Yao Rongfu's name and bright red seal.
Seeing Tang Cheng finish painting his name on the military order in duplicate, Yao Yuanjun said with a smile after drying the ink: "Tang Cheng, let's go, go to the post house."
Hearing this, Tang Cheng was very surprised, "Why are you going to the post house?" βγ
"This is an errand assigned by the observation envoy Yu himself, Tang Cheng, you are a young man, and it can be regarded as a good story, you should ask the observation envoy to make a witness too", Yao Yuanjun, who was smiling and groaning, said in his mouth, and the person should go out first.
When Tang Cheng walked out of the post house, the military order he was carrying in his arms already had an additional name and signature of the observer envoy Yu Dongjun.
At this point, the effect of this military order has exceeded the purview of the Jinzhou Yamen.
Since Yu Dongjun is willing to sign this nondescript military order, when something goes wrong, he can't blame himself, Yao Rongfu, who is holding another military order, has a heartfelt smile on his face when he thinks of this. Yesterday's sudden annoyance is complete!
For such a tricky matter, not seeking merit, striving for no fault is the foundation of self-preservation!
The two copies of the military order were collected by the two of them, and both of them felt that they were the winners, and they were both very happy at this time when they were holding the military order!
β¦β¦ β¦β¦ β¦β¦ β¦β¦ β¦β¦ β¦β¦
Si Tian Cao's office.
Tang Cheng's door was slammed open, and Feng Haizhou rushed in with a gust of wind, "My lord, you really should be on a road repair job?" βγ
Feng Haizhou's xìng is already solid, especially after the prison disaster at the end of last year, it is now more and more stable, and it is really rare to see such a gaffe scene as now.
Although he had nominally been promoted to the rank of secretary and joined the military, Ma Beijia never mentioned to him about changing the official room, and Tang Cheng didn't go to find the uncomfortable, so he still used the Sitian Cao official room.
"yes, what's wrong?" , Tang Cheng, who was burying his head in the scroll of the empty official land, raised his head.
"What's wrong?" , Tang Cheng's understated attitude made Feng Haizhou a little dissatisfied, "I heard that the road that adults undertake to repair is not given a little money, food and forced labor, I don't know if it?" βγ
"Haizhou, sit down and talk!" After pointing to the stool on the opposite side of the public case, Tang Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, the observation makes the adults also tight, and they don't give anything, pointing to the state to raise it themselves."
"Is this true?" , Feng Haizhou, who had just sat down, stood up abruptly again, "My lord, I can't take this errand, I can't take it, my lord!" Hurry up and push it. β
"It's late!" , Looking at Feng Haizhou with a panicked face, Tang Cheng's heart was warm, and he took out the military order hidden in his arms, "I have signed the military order in front of Yao Envoy Jun in this matter, but the observer is Lord Yu, how to push it!" βγ
Hearing Tang Cheng's words, Feng Haizhou's face changed immediately, and he didn't put down his hand after reading a simple military order for a long time, "It's over, my lord, this is a trap, a trap!" βγ
Tang Cheng didn't speak, just looked at Feng Haizhou quietly.
Seeing that Tang Cheng was still like this, Feng Haizhou was already heartbroken, "My lord, is it easy to build this road?" The road does not give a penny or a bucket of money and food, and the quota of conscription is also not approved, what do you take to build roads? Pointing to the state office? Jinzhou is a poor yamen", under the excitement of his heart, Feng Haizhou's hand back to the general warrant was a little trembling, "My lord, what kind of military warrant is here?" This is your deed of sale for your scapegoat! βγ
"Haizhou, don't get excited, sit down, sit down and say", Tang Cheng stood up and pressed Feng Haizhou's shoulder to let him sit down, then went to pour him a cup of tea and brought it over, "Haizhou, how did you know the news?" βγ
"Ma Beijia posted all the Lu Bu", after seeing the military order, Feng Haizhou, who understood that he couldn't do anything, turned his emotions from excitement to depression, and his voice was also weak, "That Lu Bu said that your lord, you are now in charge of road repair, except for Si Tian Cao, all Cao affairs in the West Courtyard are handled by him. The news that nothing was given on the road construction this time was heard when I was looking at Lubu, and now everyone is talking about this, and they all say that adults...... My lord, you are crazy, I thought it was just a rumor, and I would not fall into such a clumsy trap with my intelligence, who knows...... Hey......".
"Oh, he's posted all the lubu!" , Tang Cheng laughed out loud when he heard this, "Don't drive the adult, this time it's really vigorous and resolute."
"When is this time, ...... you, my lord", Feng Haizhou finally realized that something was wrong, "My lord?" What else can you do? βγ
"There is no endless road, how do you know if you can't do it?" After replying with a smile, Tang Cheng smiled and looked at Feng Haizhou and said, "Haizhou, are you willing to do this with me."
Feng Haizhou stood up in response to Tang Cheng's scorching gaze.
"If I don't go, who will?" Feng Haizhou's answer was neither passionate nor depressed, it was very peaceful, but there was a firmness in this peace without hesitation.
"Good!" , Tang Cheng patted Feng Haizhou on the shoulder, "Just do it, you go and find me a painter who is good at drawing geographical maps of mountains and rivers first, and the more jΔ«ng you want to paint, the better."
After saying the words just now in front of Tang Cheng, Feng Haizhou felt extremely relaxed in his heart, since he was released from prison on the seventh day of the first lunar month, and went home to read it, for Tang Cheng, he has always held back something that he can't say. Today, with the words just now, this uncomfortable thing finally spit out.
Things have come to this point, and he only has one thought left - the death of the one who is a confidant! Tang Cheng was about to jump off the cliff now, and he also followed with his eyes closed.
Feng Haizhou didn't ask anything more, he went to find the painter, Tang Cheng took advantage of this effort to go to the official room outside, and when he appeared, the eyes of all the swords and pens suddenly focused on him.
Tang Cheng didn't say anything, walked to Lao Deng's side, and explained that he was in charge of Cao Li's general affairs.
Lao Deng has been working in Sitian Cao for the longest time, and for decades, every process of this Cao, and the cats that exist in every process are very clear.
"Don't worry, my lord, as long as I, Lao Deng, is in this official room, I can't solve the problem", when Lao Deng said this, his tone and his eyes when he looked at Tang Cheng were inexplicably dyed with a thick sense of tragedy.
"Brother Deng, I can naturally trust it", Tang Cheng patted Old Deng with a smile, and then turned his head to look at everyone one by one.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the office room was very special, and when everyone met Tang Cheng's eyes and nodded, they all had a dignified and tragic face. It's as if Tang Chengzhen went to jump off a cliff.
After a while, Tang Cheng arched his hand, turned around and walked out of the office without saying anything.
Tang Cheng took Feng Haizhou and the painter he found all the way out of the city and went directly to the Santan Yinyue, and the Santan Yinyue Wharf was as deserted and gloomy as ever.
After dismounting and standing still, Tang Cheng instructed the painter to do something simple, that is, to ask him to draw the dock in front of him and the Jinzhou City in the distance.
While the painter was busy with his work, Tang Cheng looked at the three pools of quiet river water pleasantly.
What a natural deep-water wharf! It's a shame to waste it like this!
"My lord, what else is there to do?"
"Haizhou, don't worry, you'll be busy in two days", Tang Cheng raised his head and nodded at the painter, "After he finishes painting and I add it, you have to go to Xiangzhou with me."
"Go to Xiangzhou at this time?".
"Yes, not only do you have to go to Xiangzhou, but you also have to send people to Yangzhou, this is a good place, there are many rich people", at this point, Tang Cheng smiled, "If you don't look for them, we have the money to build roads?" βγ
"Your Excellency is pointing to this pier to earn money to build roads?" , Feng Haizhou is not a stupid person, and after a little thought, he can also touch some of Tang Cheng's thoughts, but what he doesn't understand is that "My lord's idea is naturally good, but you have to have a road before this dock can be used." Now that there is no money, food, and labor to build roads, are you putting the cart before the horse, my lord? βγ
"Attract investment!".
"Recruit ...... Business...... Attracting investment? Feng Haizhou was completely stunned.
"If you plant a plane tree, you will have a phoenix, you should understand this", seeing Feng Haizhou's confused face, Tang Cheng, who was laughing, changed a language that he could understand, "Haizhou, Santan Yinyue is the best natural deep-water wharf in Shannan Dongdao, this is a unique resource, this is the plane tree!" Guarding such a good resource, are you afraid that you won't have money? If you have money, you are afraid of running out of food? No one? βγ
After saying this in one breath, Tang Cheng turned around, "Haizhou, you remember a little."
"What?".
"Resources, especially such a unique monopoly as the Santan Yinyue, are truly the most valuable wealth!"
