Chapter 15: The Unexpected

Besides, Wang Qintang, when he got up early the next day, he suddenly found that the three plates left by Zhang Lianqi yesterday were a little strange. In other words, in the eyes of others, you may not be able to see that this plate is different, that is, two ordinary plates. But after all, Wang Qintang is knowledgeable and wide-ranging, and he can see the difference at a glance. When I saw it, I was also taken aback at the same time.

See two of them, the size, shape, size and color are the same, both are high edge of the blue and white porcelain plate. It's just a pattern on the bottom of the plate, one is an auspicious cloud pattern, and the other is a pastoral scene, which should be counted as a pair. After picking it up and taking a closer look, sure enough, there is still the words "three years of Qianlong" at the bottom of the plate, even if it is placed in the first year of the Republic of China, this era of war and chaos, the value is also very high. Wang Qintang also clearly remembers these two plates, one was used to hold a grand dish yesterday, and the other was used to hold garlic stuffed donkey meat.

Looking at the other one, although it is completely different from the previous two plates, it is a thick-bottomed red glaze plate, which is also the plate that served the dumplings last night. When he picked it up, Wang Qintang was even more shocked. I saw that although the texture of this plate is general, but look at the pattern at the bottom of the plate, it is a plum blossom and a few green bamboos, the plum blossoms are dark and fragrant, the green bamboo is vulgar and elegant, and next to the bamboo, a small poem is recorded. After looking at it, I suddenly felt the slightest spring breeze blowing, and there was a feeling of blowing.

You know, Wang Qintang likes plum blossoms alone, and the favorite painting is also plum blossoms, the image of plum blossoms painted is realistic, swaying in the wind, and it is about to come out. But Wang Qintang saw that the plum blossom on the plate was better than his own paintings. Looking at the small poem on the side again, I was even more surprised:

I have never painted plum blossoms in my life, and I don't know the family of the lonely mountain. Today's painting plum and bamboo, the year is full of smoke and haze.

Looking at the payment again, it is not someone else, it is Zheng Banqiao, the former Jinshi of the former dynasty that he admires the most. Needless to say, this plum blossom is also painted by Zheng Banqiao.

Wang Qintang saw it, and his heart was excited again. As we all know, Zheng Banqiao is famous for painting bamboo, and almost never paints plums, and this painting with Zheng Banqiao's own poem has plum and bamboo, which is really rare. If it is the original work, it is even more difficult to find. Wang Qintang stared at the plum blossoms in this plate for a long time, and couldn't help but feel a little in love.

But Wang Qintang is Wang Qintang after all, after looking at the three different plates, in addition to being surprised, it seems that he has been hit on the head, and he can't help but think that he will easily give himself such a big gift, and I don't know what kind of purpose this Lian Qi has in his heart. After thinking about it this way, Wang Qintang sank even more, he didn't come to Ansu for a long time, and even the pony didn't know his preferences, how did Zhang Lianqi know that he liked plum blossoms?

If it is possible, maybe Wang Qintang will be like the original promotion of Xiaoma to the deputy chief of the industrial department, and will appoint Zhang Lianqi as the president of the Ansu County Chamber of Commerce. But after this incident, Wang Qintang couldn't help but be cautious. What is called being smart but being mistaken by being smart, this is called being smart and being mistaken.

While talking, Wang Qintang had finished washing, went to the kitchen to eat first, and when he returned to the meeting room, he saw that the pony had also arrived. Wang Qintang originally wanted Xiaoma to return the three plates to Zhang Lianqi immediately, but after thinking about it, he quickly dispelled this idea. Wang Qintang knows that for people like Zhang Lianqi, if you don't return him immediately, he won't have any other reaction, and once you send it immediately, he may not have any other moths. It's better to wait and see what he wants, and then it's not too late to make plans.

So, I greeted the pony and prepared to use the morning time to go to the old Liang's house, a big family in Liangzhuang. The old Liang family wants to set up a rice and flour processing factory, and they want to divert water from Wangzhuang to Liangzhuang as a power. A few days ago, Lao Liang came to the office and asked Governor Wang to come to Wangzhuang to do some coordination work.

But as soon as they were about to go out, they heard the noise of gongs and drums outside the gate, coming from far and near. Immediately afterward, someone came in and reported that someone outside wanted to see Governor Wang. When Wang Qintang heard this, he didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly took the donkey and walked out.

When they came to the gate, they saw a long carriage parked outside the door, and then saw that each carriage was full of a cart of rolled cotton pulp. Look at the first carriage in front of the gong and drum team, there are four old men standing in front of the gong and drum team, these four old men, Wang Qintang knows them, they are Shi Jincai, Wang Linsheng, Liu Dianrong, Shi Jinzhong.

On the day I first came to Ansu, I chatted with several local old people at the gate of the office, and I knew that they were all wealthy owners in Ansu City, and they not only opened different sizes of business on the streets of Ansu City. It also jointly funded the opening of a "Dehe" cotton ginning factory in the west of the city. It's just that this cotton ginning factory, Wang Qintang then went to see it, and the machines are all "home-made" ginning machines, which not only have low output, but also produce bad materials, so they can only be sold on the spot. Therefore, it is best to mobilize them to buy "foreign machines", and the materials produced are not only of good quality, but can also be sold in large quantities to other places.

Later, I heard that the four of them really listened to him and purchased dozens of "foreign machines" from Tianjin. But because there are a lot of things to do every day, I don't bother to see how their "foreign machine" performs. But when you look at the fine and white stuff that is full of today's truckload, needless to say, it must be produced with a newly purchased "foreign machine".

Looking at them again, they held a long plaque together, and saw that the long plaque was written with the words "Governor Wang observes the people's feelings and makes great merit for the people", Wang Qintang's face couldn't help but sink.

Wang Qintang:

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing Wang Jincai, who was the leader, took a step forward and arched his hand at Wang Qintang and said:

"Governor Wang has benefited the people, and Xiao Minli is here to thank you!"

After that, he turned around and pointed to a long carriage lane:

"A while ago, it was precisely because of listening to Governor Wang's words that we purchased 'foreign machines' from Tianjin and produced so many high-quality materials."

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers to Wang Qintang:

"Speaking of which, this is the second batch of materials we have produced, and we are going to other places. The four of us discussed it one by one, and made a plaque and sent it to show our gratitude to Governor Wang! ”

When Wang Qintang heard this, he hurriedly shook his hand and said:

"For one term as an official, for the benefit of one party, Wang Qintang deserves to be like this, and there is nothing to be grateful for! If you do this, it will only make Wang Qintang panic! ”

After saying that, he said:

"Listen to me, put away the plaque quickly, and let the carriage leave early. We also have to rush to Liangzhuang and have some things to do. ”

After that, regardless of Wang Jincai and them, they beckoned to the pony, and one rode a donkey and the other rode out of the city.

Besides, the officials of the county office also went out to see when they heard the sound of gongs and drums. At this time, when I saw it, I couldn't help but realize that I knew that this new governor ran around every day, and it turned out that he was not running blindly.

Speaking of which, the public staff of the county office know that since the Republic of China, the country has advocated "rejuvenating the country through industry", and the county has advocated "rejuvenating the county through industry". This proposition was not unpopularized by the first and second governors of the Republic of China, either they did not know how to set up "industry" or they did not know how to rely on "industry to rejuvenate the county".

Unexpectedly, the new third governor did not say a word, nor did he say nothing, and after he came, he also said many times, because the officials of the county office thought that the new governor would be like the previous two governors, and he would leave after only three months, so no one took his words to heart.

Because they didn't take the new governor's words to heart, no one paid attention to what the new governor was doing every day. It was precisely because I didn't know what the new governor was doing every day that when I saw it, I couldn't help but suddenly realize that when I inquired in detail, the people in the county office were even more surprised.

Originally, I only heard that this Governor Wang, before he came to Ansu, he was the governor of a county in Shanghai, and after the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, various places declared independence, and returned to his hometown in Handan. To inquire in detail, it turns out that everyone only knows one thing, and they don't know the other, it turns out that this new governor, before becoming the governor of Shanghai, also studied in Japan, not only studied in Japan, but also was a former Qing Jinshi.

I didn't know this, and the officials of the county office only felt that the new governor's style made them cry and laugh when they saw it, and when they were clear, the officials of the county office realized that this new governor was different from the previous governors, and they were unconvinced.

It is precisely because of his convincing mouth that from then on, what Wang Qintang said, what everyone listened to, what Wang Qintang said, how everyone listened. This year, the county office not only successfully abolished the old system, but also established the second section of the county office (common sense housekeeping, education, construction and other matters) and the third section (common sense grain rent deed tax and all collection matters), but also under the promotion of Wang Qintang, this year, in Ansu realm, papermaking, powder leakage, oil extraction, sugar making, rice and flour processing, ironware, dyeing and weaving factories have been established.

For a time, the economy of Ansu was rarely prosperous in history. A cadre from the county office and others admired Wang Qintang even more. However, what they never expected was that next, a seemingly ordinary thing personally handled by Wang Qintang eventually became a sensation abroad and a major event that made the Chinese people raise their eyebrows.
