Chapter 83 The site selection of the ancestral hall
Early the next morning, Xu Liang paced in the soap room, wanting to find an opportunity to explain to Feng Suqin, but he came up empty, according to Tietou, Feng Suqin took Chun'er and others to Tan Ji at the invitation of Tan Ji early in the morning to discuss the merger.
Xu Liang was surprised and asked, "Didn't you stop talking about it for a while?" Why did you start talking again? ”
Tietou was not particularly clear about the specific situation, he hesitated and said: "Maybe the Tan family found out that we were delaying time, and found out that we were fooled, this time we urged very tightly, someone came yesterday, someone came early this morning, and a sedan chair was sent." ”
When Xu Liang heard this, his heart sank, and when he got out of the soap room, he asked people to find the Minister of Security, Ah Feng, and half an hour later, Ah Feng rushed back in a simple manner, and there was dew on his clothes.
Xu Liang asked: "How is the factory building in Yangjialing?" ”
Ah Feng said: "Young master, it has been almost built, and now there are still some walls, and the gatehouse has not been built." I guess another month and a half will be enough. ”
Xu Liang nodded and said, "You ask the workers to speed up, hire more people, and build several batches of people at the same time, and strive to build it within five days." ”
"Young master, I'm afraid we will have to add a lot of silver taels in this way, and we don't have much silver taels in our budget." Ah Feng thought back to the silver deposit in the factory and said.
Xu Liang took out Zhang Qianliang's silver ticket from his arms, handed it to Ah Feng, and said fiercely: "You go and arrange to speed up, and Young Master Ben, who works overtime, will give double wages!" ”
After Ah Feng received the order and hurried back to Yangjialing, Xu Liang said to himself: "Why is it so cool to spend other people's money!" ”
It turned out that the 1,000 taels of silver tickets were still part of the 7,000 taels given by Huang Ziren.
Xu Liang originally wanted to wait for Feng Suqin to come back in the Xu Mansion, but someone from the county government reported that the county lord had been invited.
Jianchang County Yaertang Mingjing hanging under the plaque of Jianchang County Zhixian sat in the middle, Jianchang County Chenglu Chengyuan, the classic history Jiang Zhunan had already arrived, Xu Liang came in and saluted the three colleagues, sat down and asked: "County Zun, call everyone here, but what is the big thing?" ”
Wang Zhixian sighed deeply, took a piece of paper on the table and handed it to Xu Liang, and said, "Lord Xu, just look at this." ”
Xu Liang took the official document suspiciously, unfolded it, and saw that it was an official letter forwarded by the Jiangxi Governor's Yamen to Nankang Mansion, and the big seal of the Governor's Yamen on it looked a little scary. After carefully reading the official letter, Xu Liang was shocked: "Lord Yang wants to build an ancestral hall for Duke Wei on Yunshan?!" ”
Wang Zhixian nodded, and said with a bitter face: "Yes, I don't know who chewed his tongue in front of the governor, saying that Jianchang Yunshan is picturesque, the climate is pleasant, and the terrain is majestic, and it is a rare feng shui treasure." Nankang prefect Sun Daren instructed us Jianchang to first survey the terrain and choose the location of the ancestral hall, and soon the governor of Jiangxi, Yang Bangxian, and the political envoy Huang Weizhong, the political envoy, will personally supervise Jianchang and select the location of the ancestral hall. ”
Xu Liang was stunned, a provincial governor and political officials came to Jianchang, did not investigate the people's situation, did not understand the county governance, in order to choose a good place for Wei Gonggong to build a shrine? Isn't that ridiculous?
"That'...... I don't know what the county needs to do? Xu Liang came back to his senses and asked.
Wang Zhixian glanced at Lu Xiancheng, nodded slightly, Lu Xiancheng stroked his beard, and said carefully: "Just now, this official and the county lord have carefully discussed, and now it seems that it is imperative to build a shrine on Yunshan, and the first thing is to choose a good location, this matter, Lord Xu, will be left to you to do." ”
Xu Liang's eyes widened in an instant, and he shouted in his heart why, why? Seeing that such a tricky thing was about to fly into his arms without warning, Xu Liang laughed and said: "Lord Lu said that it was still a short time when the lower officials came to Jianchang, and they were not familiar with Yunshan, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on this important task." ”
Wang Zhixian waved his hand, looked at Xu Liang with approving eyes, and said: "Eh, Lord Xu is too modest, Lord Xu's ability is very appreciated by the official and Lord Lu, the encirclement and suppression of Poyang Lake Shui Kou and the handling of the disappearance of the Jianchang girl this time, Lord Xu has handled it very well, and the official has a tight trust in Lord Xu, if you want to do a good job this time, you have to go out of the way." ”
Xu Liang waved his hand again and again, and excused himself: "The county respects you, you have raised the lower officials, if it is an ordinary trivial matter, the lower officials may still be able to fight with a lot of strength, stunned, and do it in a sparse way, but this time it is for the current Wei Gonggong Jiansheng Ancestral Hall. ”
Wang Zhixian glanced at Xu Liang, who had repeatedly resigned, and said slightly reproachfully: "Governor Yang and Huang Shenzheng attach great importance to this matter. Lord Xu is a person who can speak in front of Huang Shenzheng, so Lord Xu should not shirk this matter. In order to properly accomplish this, the county will now order the whole county to all the manpower, material resources, and money in Jianchang County. ”
"Exactly!" Lu Xiancheng also said: "If Lord Xu needs the help of this official in the process of acting, this official is duty-bound. ”
"But......," Xu Liang was about to say again.
Wang Zhixian got up suddenly, waved his hand at Xu Liang, and said: "This matter is so decided, Lord Xu will go back and prepare for his life, carefully investigate, and be sure to choose a good location on Yunshan within three days." After speaking, Xing felt that his tone was too blunt, and he paused slightly, and explained: "Brother Xu, it's not that my brother is deliberately embarrassing you, it stands to reason that this matter should be the official's fault, but the official's recent headache has been committed, not to mention mountaineering and investigation, even if you go out in a sedan chair, it is extremely difficult...... Ahem, brother, you have to worry a lot about this matter, and in the future, this official will ask for credit for you in front of the governor and the political ministers. ”
After speaking, Wang Zhixian snorted softly in pain as if he had a headache, stroked his forehead, rubbed it while leaving the second hall, and went back to the back house.
Xu Liang looked at Lu Xiancheng again and said, "Lord Lu, you still have to take the lead in this matter, and it is more appropriate for the lower officials to help run errands......"
"Eh, Lord Xu," Lu Xiancheng also got up, shook his head sincerely, and said: "Speaking of Jianchang's time, this official is shorter than you, Xu Da, you are not familiar with Yunshan, and this official and Jiang Dian are even less familiar with it." That one...... Lord Xu, don't have any worries, do it boldly, and find the official in time if you have difficulties, ha, that's it. ”
Lu Xiancheng hummed a bunch of nonsense, and together with Jiang Dianshi, Shi Shiran came out of the second hall of the county government.
Xu Liang was left alone in the second hall of the county government, Xu Liang's lungs were about to explode, and he really wanted to tear up the paper letter, and he endured it for a long time before he suppressed the impulse, slammed the edge of the table, and scolded: "Damn, it's all a bunch of old foxes!" ”
Out of the county office, Xu Liang asked people to order the guards, prepare to drive, and prepare to go to Yunshan to take a look first.
While waiting for the guards, Xu Liang stood at the door of the yamen and thought about it. This is the second time Xu Liang heard about the construction of the ancestral hall for Duke Wei, the last time was in the sixth year of the Apocalypse when he went to visit his uncle Huang Weizhong, I heard him chat with Sun Yiping, the prefect of Nankang, Xu Liang was only surprised at that time, he didn't take it seriously at all, in Xu Liang's mind, Governor Yang wanted to pat the ass of Grandpa Wei and build a shrine for him, Jiangxi Province is such a big place, where does he like to build, what does it matter to me Xu Liang?
Unexpectedly, after a short time, this thing that could not be beaten by eight poles would fall on his head. It's a real disaster!
After two teas, Xu Liang's personal guard arrived, and to Xu Liang's surprise, Dai Yingying, the female captain of the guard, actually came. She was dressed in a bamboo-patterned Luo skirt, a moon-white cardigan covered with a thin armor, and the black hair of a crow and crow was tied with a silver hairpin.
Xu Liang said: "When did you come back?" Has the so-called treasure knife been found? ”
Dai Yingying spread out in front of Xu Liang empty-handed, and said in a relaxed tone: "I didn't find it, I lost it!" I was going to go to Ximen Street for a stroll, but when I saw a few of them on the way, I knew that Master Xu was going to Yunshan, so I followed. ”
Xu Liang glared and said, "You just go empty-handed, how can you protect me on the way?" ”
Dai Yingying smiled lightly, squinted at Xu Liang, and said confidently: "With this girl's skills, even with her bare hands, you can ensure that Lord Xu is unharmed." Don't mother-in-law, let's go, this girl is also trying to go to Yunshan to play. ”
Xu Liang smiled bitterly, got into the carriage, and the group walked towards Yunshan. As a result, when he arrived at the foot of Yunshan, the carriage was no longer difficult to go up, and Xu Liang had no choice but to give up the carriage and hike up Yunshan.
A gravel path stretches along the mountain to the top of the mountain, the grass and trees beside the road are forested, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the cool breeze is blowing, the pine waves are gusting, and the occasional stream is murmuring. After walking for a while, Xu Liang inadvertently looked up and saw that the leading female captain Huang Yingying was missing.
Passing out of a bamboo forest halfway up the mountainside, I saw Dai Yingying sitting beside a big stone by the water tan with a light smile, taking off her cotton shoes, and paddling in the water tan with her feet as smooth as jade. Dai Yingying saw Xu Liang and beckoned: "I said Lord Xu, you belong to the cow, it's really slow." This water is so cold, come and rest. ”
The guards all looked surprised when they heard this, Xu Liang coughed embarrassedly, and said curtly: "I see that it is almost noon this day, so it is important to hurry up to the top of the mountain, lest the sun rise and the weather becomes hot." ”
Dai Yingying raised her eyes to look at the sky, cut it, and said, "It's still early, it's okay to sit down." ”
The guards also coaxed, giggling and saying that they would have to rest when they were tired. Xu Liang had no choice but to go to the waterhole and sit.
After a while, Dai Yingying asked curiously, "Eh, Lord Xu, what are you doing in Shangyun Mountain this time?" ”
When Xu Liang heard that he would choose the site for the Wei Gonggong Ancestral Hall, Dai Yingying clapped her hands in surprise and said with a smile: "How can such a good thing fall on your head, it seems that the heads of the officials in Jianchang are really not very good." The opportunity to invite credit has cheapened you in vain. ”
Xu Liang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said angrily: "Fart, this is a pit of death, those bastards are all fine, no one wants to jump in, I was forced to have no way to pick up the errand." ”
