Chapter 168: Everything is ready, waiting for the opening
Annoyed is annoyed, but Tang Cheng, who is doing things safely, did not go to He Zhongda just like that, Meng Haoran's words are still in his ears, with the difference between the identities of the two in Shilin, now in the absence of solid evidence, if he only finds the past on a momentary impulse, the result can only be self-inflicted.
The coming day is long, He Zhongda, Lao Tzu is with you!
When he got up the next morning, Tang Cheng, whose face was calm, continued to devote himself to the intense busyness.
"Big brother, this can't be done, we have too few people, and things can't be supported at all", when Tang Chengzheng was discussing with Feng Haizhou and approving the terms of the charter, Zhang Xiangwen, who was panting, walked in from outside, "No matter how small the portal is, it is also a portal, and the things that should be supported are indispensable at all, and my leg is about to break."
Since Zhang Xiangwen entered the observation envoy yamen, he was sent by Tang Cheng to be in charge of foreign affairs, which was also in line with his "sexual" character, but there were too many miscellaneous things, and his feet did not touch the ground all day long.
Seeing Zhang Xiangwen's bitter face, Tang Cheng got up and asked with a smile, "What did you do just now?" ”。
"What kind of employee selection is done in the miscellaneous service room, Cao from all departments in the yamen has to go to people, and evaluate the diligence of Cao miscellaneous servants in the headquarters", Zhang Xiangwen, who was paralyzed on the stool, shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I just went to the miscellaneous service room, and I have to go to the water room after the three pillars of incense, it's all fucking shit, big brother, you hurry up and find someone, I won't do these shitty things to death."
Zhang Xiangwen's bitter appearance caused Tang Cheng and both of them to laugh, Feng Haizhou said with a smile: "My lord, it's time for us to add some people to the yamen to come in, the size is also a portal, just the three of us are dangling here every day, don't say anything when we're tired, and it's not good to look at others."
"Well, it's time for some more people to come in. But although there are many people who want to come, it is not easy to find the right one", Tang Cheng nodded when he heard this, a few people in the yamen have told him about this in the past few days, and the meaning of the words is that he wants to recommend people to come in, just because he has been busy, he has no heart to '' this.
"I think there is a suitable candidate", seeing Tang Chengwang coming over. Feng Haizhou smiled and said: "It's the Xiangzhou Meng Haoran who came to find an adult a few days ago, this person is talented, knowledgeable, and has a good demeanor, but doesn't he have to use people on the spot?" ”。
Damn, I'm really dizzy! Hearing this, Tang Cheng patted his head fiercely, yes, why didn't he think of such a suitable person? Subconsciously, he felt that he was a hermit, but he forgot that Meng Haoran was actually the same as Tao Yuanming. is a character who has struggled with the conflict between Shi and Yin all his life, especially at his current age, it should be the time to be full of intentions.
"Haizhou, why didn't you remind me earlier!" , Tang Cheng shook his head. "I've been really busy lately, and I woke up the person in my dream with a word, okay, I'll fix the book when I go back at noon."
"And the dozen or so invitations from last time. The adults will take care of it together this time, that is, this number of people is less than one day a day, and we have been worried about it here, and it is not good."
Public and private affairs have accumulated together, Tang Cheng is now busy with smoke on his four feet, more than a dozen invitations have to be accepted one by one, how long will it take to go to the banquet? Tang Cheng didn't have the time, and he really didn't have the mind. "That's what you said, but I really can't spare the effort, so let's do it, Haizhou, divide those invitations into two, you and Xiangwen are responsible for half of it, and interview the people they recommend by the way during dinner, and I'll look at it after the preliminary selection is made."
"Interview?". Zhang Xiangwen followed up and asked. "What do you mean?".
"It's that you look at those people first, the 'nature' of the heart. Whether they are flexible or not is a word, see if they are suitable to do here, if you think it is appropriate, I will take a look at it, and if it can be determined. If even you don't think it's appropriate, there's no time to waste."
"Cheng, I'll take this job, Brother Feng, this is a serious beauty", Zhang Xiangwen swept away the malaise just now, set up Erlang's legs and shook "swinging" and said with a smile: "I think about how much time I spent grinding with my uncle in order to enter the Yunxi County Ya." I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I also have this right today! Hehe, if you don't toss and toss these little rabbit cubs, we'll be sorry for this observation of the great yamen."
"Okay, if you want to toss, you have to wait for the night, now you better go to the water room first", after blowing away Zhang Xiangwen, Tang Cheng and Feng Haizhou continued to bury themselves in the formulation of the charter.
In the days that followed, Tang Cheng continued to be busy, watching the weather get hotter and hotter, and the noise of the cicadas outside getting louder and louder.
In the official room, after Tang Cheng copied the last word on the final draft with the eight-point method, he breathed a long sigh of relief, looking at the final draft of this brainchild, Tang Cheng carefully dried the ink on the last page, and read the entire final draft again.
After confirming that there was no problem with the writing, Tang Cheng took the final draft and walked out of the office.
Please see and observe that the process of Yu Dongjun went smoothly, and it hardly waited.
"Tang Cheng is here", seeing that it was Tang Cheng who walked in, Yu Dongjun, who was holding an official document in his hand and comparing it with the geographical map of mountains and rivers, raised his head, put down the official document in his hand and waved his hand and said, "Sit down." Since you went down last month, the road construction in those states has already begun, and they have no less credit for you in the official documents they submitted to the envoy! ”。
At this point, Yu Dongjun ordered tea to the handymen who came in, and said to Tang Cheng with a smile: "If this progress is followed, when the Fangzhou Road is repaired, the road network will also be completed as scheduled, Tang Cheng, it seems that it is indeed a wise move for the envoy to transfer you from Jinzhou, ah, haha."
"Thank you for the compliment", hearing that those assassins all recommended merit for themselves, Tang Cheng understood the reason after thinking about it, Tao Yuanjun and these people may be grateful to him, but this is by no means the main reason for recommending merit, after all, everyone is doing the same thing, and the more credit is recommended to others, it is invisibly equivalent to covering up or sharing their own credit. If you think about it carefully, the reason why these people are like this is more because of his identity as an "observer and cronie".
After all, it was Yu Dongjun who single-handedly promoted him to the Yamen of the Observation Envoy and was in charge of this matter, and now he is recommending merit, isn't it praising the observation and making him discerning? Judging from the smile on Yu Dongjun's face at this time, Tao Yuanjun and others' trick of beating horses across the mountains is really effective.
In the yamen, red has always been praised and black, but the difference is that Tang Cheng in the past mostly played the role of the black horn "color" that was stepped on. This time, it can be regarded as relying on Yu Dongjun's "redness". From this point of view, if you want to mix with the yamen, the ability is still secondary, and it is really important to follow the right person.
Thinking in his heart, Tang Cheng had already sent the final draft to Yu Dongjun in front of the official case, "My lord, this is the final draft of a charter drawn up by subordinates on the responsibilities of this department, please review it."
Yu Dongjun took it and glanced at it casually. "Oh", after Yu Dongjun, who saw a little meaning, spread the final draft on the public case, he no longer looked at Tang Cheng, and looked at it carefully.
Seeing this, Tang Cheng smiled and didn't speak again, took the handyman and served the tea on the ground and waited quietly.
After a long time, after about three pillars of incense, Yu Dongjun raised his head. "Well, yes, this charter is insightful, not only for the 'operation' of the details, especially for the previous part of the estimated value of the acres of land, not only for this way. For the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and for the Imperial Court, it is also of great significance."
As for this, Yu Dongjun smiled helplessly and sighed: "Speaking of which, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household are a pair of natural enemies, building roads and bridges. The money and grain allocated by the household department are never enough, so it is necessary to ask for it every year. Now that I think about it, the Ministry of Industry actually has some treasures in their hands and doesn't know how to use it. Tang Cheng, just relying on your charter is a great achievement, and you will be able to get the green eyes of your colleagues after you arrive at the Ministry of Industry one day."
Listening to Yu Dongjun's words, Tang Cheng only had a wry smile in his heart, he really didn't have any consciousness at all from the observation of Shannan Dongdao, whether it was in his mentality or in his words, he still regarded himself as an official of the Ministry of Industry. What's worse is that he looks at himself the same way. The conscience of heaven and earth, Tang Chengke never thought that he would go to the Ministry of Industry in the future.
Thinking so, Tang Cheng naturally couldn't say it, but seeing that Yu Dongjun was in a good mood at this time, he took the opportunity to say another thing, "My lord, my subordinates want to invite a group of guests to a banquet in Daocheng next month, and I respectfully invite you to come."
"Feast. What guests? ”。 Yu Dongjun asked with interest.
"It is the great businessman of the state of the province."
"Banquet merchants?" , Wen Yan. After Yu Dongjun was stunned for a moment, he groaned and did not speak.
Seeing him like this, Tang Cheng was a little anxious, this was the first banquet he prepared for the opening of the new garden, it was to use these rich people and observations to make the name of the adults build momentum for the new garden, so that it could be famous overnight, in this propaganda, the most gimmick and the most attractive thing is to observe the adults to come, what if he didn't go?
Tang Cheng also knew the reason for his deep "groaning", the identity of Shangjia at that time was really low, and as the first person in Shannan Dongdao, Yu Dongjun's identity was too sensitive. Another point is that if the reading, which is also born in the imperial examination, can be built, the great businessmen of these states will make great contributions", guessing in his heart Yu Dongjundi's thoughts, Tang Cheng was not idle, "If this company wants to do a better errand, it will all depend on the generosity of these local wealthy businessmen, and please think twice."
Hearing this, Yu Dongjun pondered for a while, looked at Tang Cheng, and then looked down at the final draft of the charter on the official case, "Okay, that envoy should be down."
Seeing him agree, Tang Cheng was overjoyed, fortunately, this observation envoy did not pay much attention to the rules of officialdom Yu Dongjun, if he was replaced by Lao Sun, Lao Yao and others, even if he said that he would go to the sky, he would not want to be moved. At that moment, Tang Cheng didn't stay any longer, got up and left.
Seeing that Tang Cheng was walking so fast, looking like he was afraid that he would change his hexagram, Yu Dongjun couldn't help but smile.
After laughing, Yu Dongjun immediately ordered someone to copy the charter sent by Tang Cheng immediately and submit it to the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial City.
Coming out of the official room of Yu Dongjundi, when Tang Cheng looked at the sky, he did not go back to the official room, but went straight out of the yamen to his residence.
Although Zhang Zichuan helped him take a good look at the house when he came that day, Tang Cheng didn't buy it, and now there are many places to use money, so it is serious to stick to the garden first; In addition, he really didn't have time to clean up his new house, in addition, Tang Cheng had a faint feeling in his heart, he always felt that he couldn't stay in Dao City for a long time, this feeling was for no reason, but it was so clear. Because of these reasons, Tang Chengcheng still lives in that inn, anyway, the current money for this inn is paid by the yamen.
Tang Cheng has been busy these days, and now he finally completed a big event, he originally wanted to give himself a holiday, and came back early, but as soon as he entered the inn, he saw Laifu coming up.
Laifu was punished by Tang Cheng to go to Yangzhou with Guan Guan, but he was responsible for the purchase of some other exquisite utensils.
"Oh, when did you come back, and Guan Guan Ke also came back?"
"I arrived in the morning, and Miss Guan Guan also came back, and now she is taking those musicians and girls with Zhang Siye to settle in the new garden. The big officials also sent the things they had bought," said Lai Fu after the salute, taking out a few pages of paper from his sleeve, "The big officials, this is the list and accounts of this purchase, which were written on the spot by the big gentlemen in each store."
Tang Cheng took the list and looked at it, "Well, this new garden is indeed burning money", after saying this with a smile, he handed the list back to Laifu, "Go back and hand this over to Guan Guan, so you can do the accounting."
"Yes", after Laifu collected the list, he removed a letter from his sleeve, "The little one sent a letter to the envoy of Zheng City according to the instructions of the big official, and this is the reply of Lord Zheng."
In fact, it is not a blessing to say, Tang Cheng only looked at the hairpin on the letterhead, and knew that this letter was from Zheng Lingyi's hand.
Putting Zheng Lingyi's letterhead in his sleeve, Tang Cheng nodded and said, "Laifu, you are also tired, go and rest your feet first, let me freshen up, let's go to the garden to have a look."
After returning to the room, Tang Cheng opened the cover, and Zheng Lingyi's beautiful hairpin flower was suddenly revealed.
The content of this letter is no different from before, but at the end of the letter, there are a few lines of poetry, Tang Cheng read it, and he has recited it softly:
Thinking of the gentleman and the guest, thinking of returning to the hometown, why should you drown and send it to others? The cheap concubine kept the empty room, and she didn't dare to forget it, and she didn't feel that her clothes were stained with tears. The strings of the piano are cleared, and the short song can not be long. The bright moon shines on my bed, and the stars and Han flow west at night. Morning glory and weaver girls look at each other from afar, why should you live up to the river beam?
After the "groan", Tang Cheng was silent for a long time, and when he finally put the letterhead back in his sleeve, his thoughts turned into a long sigh.
In the following days, Tang Cheng was even busier, but it was not his official business, but his new garden, the layout of the new garden, the placement of personnel, the selection of song and dance repertoire, the arrangement and the sending of invitations to the merchants, etc., etc., during which he had to go to the observation of the yamen and Taoism, and after more than 20 days of busy in the dark, finally two days before the invitation agreed on the date of the banquet, the whole garden was officially ready.
At this point, Tang Cheng's new garden, which cost a lot of money and effort, is about to be officially opened.
