Jingwen didn't expect that Ma Zhou would actually come here to find himself at this time. After all, he was an old subordinate of the Snow Shame Army back then, and this Ma Zhou could also be a prime minister according to the development of the original history, so of course he had to receive it well, after all, it was not easy to leave this incense invitation. According to the situation two years ago, Ma Zhou was assigned to other places to be a county magistrate, but now I don't know where he is a county magistrate. But since he's here to see him, of course it's better to reminisce about the past.

"I've seen the festival handsome!" Ma Zhou said.

Ma Zhou was the chief of the General Affairs Department of the Snow Shame Army at that time, so he still called Jingwen Jie Shuai according to the old subordinates of the Snow Shame Army before. Now Ma Zhou has transformed into a civil official, so he is actually no longer Jingwen's subordinate.

"Ma Zhou, why did you remember to come to see me?" Jingwen asked.

And Ma Zhou immediately said: "Jie Shuai, I can't hide it, in fact, I also have something to ask!" ”

"Hahahaha, I said how do you know how to come and see me, it turns out that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Jingwen scolded with a smile.

In fact, Ma Zhou hasn't come to visit the door for two years, and Jingwen doesn't blame him for this. After all, transportation and communication were inconvenient in ancient times, and Ma Zhou was also a magistrate, and it was difficult to have time to come to Chang'an as a county magistrate outside. Therefore, Ma Zhou has to deal with official business, so it is normal to have no time to visit Jingwen, the old boss, at his house, and Jingwen will not blame. However, when Ma Zhou celebrated the festival in the past two years, he was able to send a congratulatory letter, which is enough to show that people still value themselves in their hearts, what else can Jingwen say?

"Ma Zhou, what kind of official are you now?" Jingwen asked.

And Ma Zhou said: "Now it is the county order of Mengjin County for the time being." ”

"Mengjin County, why is it familiar?" Jing Wen muttered.

And Cui Ying immediately said: "Jingwen, just now I said that the Mengjin County government in Luoyang wants to take out a loan from the bank in Luoyang, but they don't dare to decide on their own. ”

"Oh? It turns out that the county order of Mengjin County is you! Jingwen laughed and said.

Jingwen finally remembered, just now Cui Ying said that the government of Mengjin County wanted a loan, but the people with the semicolon in that place didn't dare to agree without permission, so they came to ask for people from Chang'an. As a result, it is now considered a big flood to wash the Dragon King Temple. It turned out that Ma Zhou was the county magistrate of Mengjin County. However, Jingwen also sighed a little that Ma Zhou was promoted quickly! Mengjin County, but the county of Luoyang, the eastern capital, has the same status as the subordinate counties of the municipalities directly under the central government in later generations. The counties under Luoyang are all high-level officials, but they are in the position of the fifth grade.

And although Ma Zhou is now a county magistrate, if this Mengjin County can be developed, then I am afraid that the next step is to be an ordinary state assassin, that is, at least the position of mayor.

"Alright, Ma Zhou. Since you're going to borrow, I'll lend it to you! Anyway, this bank is also my property, so you can tell me how much money you want. Jing Wen said proudly.

But Ma Zhou said sternly: "Jieshuai, I came today because of this matter." Our Mengjin County is close to the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River sometimes floods down, and we in Mengjin County want to dispose of it, but we lack the funds to repair it. It's not just one time that I want to send an official message to the above, saying that I want the above to support me. But the above are replying that there is no money. Therefore, I heard that the bank continued to lend money to the merchants, so I wanted to borrow some money from the bank and repair this section of the river embankment in our Mengjin County. ”

Jingwen almost vomited blood. This Ma Zhou's "ambition" is really not small! It is necessary to repair the river embankment, where can a county-level administrative unit afford to pay for it. He actually found a bank to take out a loan, how much money would it cost! Moreover, Jingwen as a businessman. It is impossible to buy and sell without profit. And if a county-level administrative unit is used to repay the loan, how long will it take to repay the financial revenue of the county-level administrative unit in this era? Nima. This is a giant pit. If it is a loan in the name of a country, Jingwen can also agree, because the fiscal revenue at the national level is high enough to afford it. But if a county borrows so much money, where can a county-level administrative unit afford it? Even if he can afford it, he doesn't know if Jingwen can see the government of Mengjin County repay this loan in his life. With such a long repayment cycle, Jingwen will lend it to them when his brain is in water, which is too risky.

With the current financial situation of Datang, who has the money to build a river embankment for Ma Zhou! Now the financial situation of Datang, can others not know Jingwen? Since the appearance of Jingwen, the traverser of the pit father, Datang's finances have never been rich. Originally, after a few years of recuperation, Datang's finances should have become rich and turned losses into profits. But since Jingwen crossed, he has been tossing and turning everywhere, from military to political and reform, to all aspects of reform, which one does not cost money? As a result, after such a toss, Datang's finances have been depleted day by day.

Originally, Datang had already started the trade of the Silk Road in the Western Regions, and it had already obtained a lot of financial revenue. But what is even more evil is that Jingwen is still tossing, and those armies, the naturalization of herdsmen on the grassland, and even the development of Jiangnan, have swallowed up the wealth obtained from the Western Regions. If you want to select the biggest gold-swallowing beast in Datang, it must be Jingwen. And at this time, Ma Zhou actually wanted to overhaul the river embankment, which was simply frustrating. And the current Yangtze River embankment, in fact, can still be used, and the victims are not very strict. Therefore, those bigwigs in the court did not think of repairing.

But Ma Zhou, a county magistrate, thought of repairing the river embankment, I don't know if it should mean that he was better prepared for a rainy day, or that the water of his Yangtze River was poured into his brain. This is simply a big construction, a county-level official has the courage to build a big project, I have to say that he is very good and powerful.

"Marshal, if this can be done, then the people will benefit a lot, then I can also seek a position as a state assassin!" Ma Zhou said.

Ma Zhou's fox tail was exposed, that is, he wanted to be promoted. If the river embankment can be repaired, so that the people can farm with peace of mind, and can be able to "build a large number of buildings", wouldn't this be the way the political achievements came out? For a county magistrate close to the Yangtze River, what could be more useful than repairing the embankment? Therefore, Ma Zhou actually wanted to rely on construction to obtain political achievements, which made Jingwen mutter. This is all for his own future, so Ma Zhou finally showed his cheeks and asked Jingwen for support. (To be continued......)
