Regarding the county guard's words, Fan Siran said lightly: "I have not been back from overseas for a short time, and it has only been more than two years, and I don't know much about the economic situation of Heming County. ”

He also said: "When I was still overseas, I heard that we are full of gold day and night, fertile land, peaceful people, rich and strong country. Unexpectedly, the town of White Horse was looted and burned, but our government couldn't afford to rebuild it, which is really a huge difference from what I heard. ”

The county guard heard the sarcasm in her words, couldn't help frowning, and said: "We are night and night, of course, the country is rich and the people are strong, and we are the first country in the world!" It's just that in recent years, various disasters and famines have consumed a lot of the national treasury, and they have been harassed and looted by the pirates, and they can't come up with money for a while, isn't it understandable? ”

After a pause, he said: "You have been overseas for so many years, so can you see that there is any country that is stronger and richer than us every day?" ”

Fan Siran rolled his eyes and said, "Have you ever heard of the Babylian Empire?" ”

Shi Buping pondered for a while, although he knew that there were many countries overseas, but except for a few close ones around, he didn't know what those distant countries were called, and he didn't think about them for a while, and said, "The Babilia Empire?" What kind of savage country is this? I've never heard of it! ”

Turning his head to look at the officials in the room, "Have you heard of it?" ”

The officials shook their heads.

His eyes flashed, and the county guard said: "Now, does any bullshit country dare to call it an 'empire'?" These cats and dogs, it is also because they are far away from us every day and night, and we have no time to take care of them every night, so they dare to be so arrogant! If they were near us, they would be made to bow down! ”

Fan Siran sighed in his heart, the Babylian Empire has already been engaged in development and colonization everywhere, and the navigation technology is even more first-class, and he still boasts of "the first country in the world" here all day long, staying at the level of how many hundred years ago, and if it continues like this, it is estimated that it will be a matter of time before he is beaten......

Fan Siran didn't bother to refute the county guard's remarks, so he listened to him ask again: "The country you are talking about should be so poor that the people can't even eat, right?" ”

Seeing that Fan Siran didn't answer, he felt that he had guessed correctly, "Such a country is actually embarrassed to be called 'empire'?" What a taint of the word 'empire'! ”

"However, in such a poor country, we don't have time to deal with them every night, no matter what they call it, no one cares if it is called 'Kingdom of Heaven'."

said triumphantly, his eyes returned to Fan Siran, "Those countries overseas are all poor ghosts, it is really a bit incredible that you can stay in these poor ghost countries for so long and earn so much money!" If you can make money outside, why do you want to pay it back? Isn't it good to be outside? ”

The implication is that she is too poor overseas, and her life is not good, and she can't stand it, so she ran back.

"In addition, seeing that you are young and actually said that you have been out there for so many years, the official is a little suspicious of the authenticity of your words."

Staring at her, scrutinizing.

Because the town office of White Horse Town was also destroyed by fire, and all the materials in the town office were burned, so he couldn't check Fan Siran's background.

Since the locals say that she is from White Horse Town, and she also has the household registration documents of White Horse Town in her hand, she can only recognize her identity.

Fan Siran smiled and said: "I went to sea with my parents since I was a child, naturally, the business is also done by them, and it was only because they had an accident that I took over the business and have been doing it until now." So, I spent most of my time overseas, day and night, when I was a kid and for the two years after I returned. ”

Shi Buping said: "In other words, most of your money, in fact, is earned by your parents, and you are just inheriting?" ”

Fan Siran nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right, it's true." ”

She felt that the county guard came to her, in fact, he wanted to touch her bottom and find out where her money came from, after all, it was too huge, and anyone would be suspicious.

Today's explanation is reasonable.

Shi Buping was skeptical about her words, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and said, "Today, this official came to you because I have something to talk to you about." ”

Fan Siran asked, "What's the matter?" ”

After talking about it for so long, is it finally time to get to the point?

Shi Buping thought slightly, leaned forward, looked at her, and said, "I heard that the townspeople of White Horse Town are going to hold a banquet for you?" ”

Seeing her nodding, the county guard said: "This official has a request, I don't know if Miss Fan will agree." ”

"Your Excellency, just say." Fan Siran looked like he was listening.

The county guard pondered for a moment, as if he was a little embarrassed, coughed, and then said: "That's the case, when the banquet is held, can you stand up and explain the truth to everyone?" ”

"What truth?" Fan Siran was a little puzzled, not understanding what he wanted to do.

"Let's just say that you are only one of the parties who contributed to the reconstruction of Baima Town, in fact, it is the joint work of dozens of well-known families in our Qingli Province." Shi Buping said, "They just didn't want the name, so they gave it to you, and now that the reconstruction of White Horse Town has been completed, it is time to announce all the people who have contributed their strength." Of course, it's your choice, not their bidding. ”

Hearing this, the light in Fan Siran's eyes instantly became cold, as if it was frozen, and he stared at the county guard, "My lord, are you going too far?" The money to rebuild Whitehorse Town is clearly mine, why should I let those irrelevant people touch my light? Please give me a reason to convince me! ”

In an instant, she seemed to understand why the county government didn't let the townspeople erect a statue for her!

It turned out that she wanted to rub her results!

If she really did what the county guard said, and the "truth" came out of her mouth, then people would naturally believe that this "truth" was true!

Then, those dozens of well-known families didn't do anything, and they made a good reputation for making a lot of money for the reconstruction of White Horse Town out of thin air! It's like picking it up for nothing!

As for why it is said that there are dozens of well-known families, not one, there are also ghosts here - just a family, it will definitely not be able to come up with so much money, and forcibly saying it will only arouse suspicion! Therefore, it is explained that it is scattered and the rain and dew are evenly wet, and they join forces to come up with this sum of money!

And almost all of these well-known families have officials in the provincial capital. Therefore, if it is said that these families have contributed money, then these officials in their families will naturally be stained.

It's no wonder that the county guard will come out to help them speak!

Or, not at all, it can't be said to be a help, but - there is an order from above to make him do it!

Seeing Fan Siran ask rhetorically, Shi Buping took a sip of water from the cup, and then said with a solemn face: "Miss Fan, I know that you must be unhappy with this request of this official, but since you are from our Qingli Province, you have to consider it for our Qingli Province." ”

"Do you know, if you let the outside world know that Baima Town was rebuilt by you alone, and our Qingli Province has done nothing, how will other provinces think of our Qingli Province?"

"You take all the fruits on yourself, spread them out, and let the face of the provincial government go where to rest? As a citizen of Qingli Province, this official hopes that you can think about it! ”

"Listen to the advice of this official, you must be cautious about such a major matter, don't be confused! Otherwise, it's not good for you and for everyone! ”
