Chapter 207, tattered and empty yamen
After listening to Zhou Ming's words, King Heng did not deny it, and said with a smile: "This king is optimistic about her project, and he does intend to get involved." ”
Zhou Ming walked back to the table and said, "If Huang Tai is inconvenient, His Highness will find another person for her." ”
King Heng turned around, looked at him and said faintly: "She doesn't know the details of this garden, but your heart is like a mirror." Brother Ming, it's really strange that you, an official of the Jin Kingdom, are so actively involved with me, the prince of Qingyan. ”
Zhou Ming raised his hand, motioned for him to sit down and drink tea, and said with a smile: "Brother Yang understands in his heart why ask me? Although I am dedicated to serving the country and have a frank heart, the world is unpredictable, and it is understandable to leave more back roads. ”
King Heng hooked his lips, drank a cup of tea, and asked: "In the past, Peach Blossom didn't want you to join the ranks, but you didn't listen to her, do you regret it now?" ”
Zhou Ming chuckled: "Although Brother Yang has no intention of taking the throne, he has also embarked on the road of struggle for royal power for many reasons. I promised my ancestors that I would go through it no matter what. ”
"Besides, I'm just getting started now, and I don't know if I'm going to be on the road or having a bumpy official career in the future, so I'm just doing it just in case."
"The fireworks in the world are very big, according to the plan of the peach blossom, it will become the behemoth of the Jinguo shopping mall in a few years, and it is okay to say that the rich can rival the country when the time comes."
"She has the enthusiasm to serve the country, and she also has the ambition to achieve the myth of the shopping mall, however, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, as her husband, I just want to help her succeed to the greatest extent and protect her thoroughly, Brother Yang and her business together, I am very at ease."
King Heng heard it clearly, knowing that he was afraid that the huge wealth brought by the fireworks in the world would cause Lin Taohua to kill him in the future, and wanted to divert a part of it through him to delay the arrival of this day, and also hoped that when this day really came in the future, he would be able to protect her well.
King Heng raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't say how much you trust me, I think you just grabbed me and liked her and used me unscrupulously." ”
Zhou Ming laughed and said, "Brother Yang, don't you let me use it?" ”
King Heng pretended to be helpless and said: "Make a mistake and lose friends, and make a mistake." ”
"Hahaha." Zhou Ming laughed.
After more than a month, Ziping came to Diyuan, saying that ten days ago, Daiqin died of illness, and Bozhigede ascended the throne, and then the three kings of Igil rebelled and besieged the royal city. At this point, Igil is all the world of Bozhige on the surface, and those who are restless in the secret can only be slowly figured out.
In mid-August, Zhou Ming saw that the overall situation of Duanhui and pro-Igir had been decided, and it would not be long before he would go to Wulenko to take office, so he began to lay the groundwork for several important tasks after taking office.
First of all, he wrote a letter that Tsing Yi secretly sent to the post house and sent it to the capital, formally requesting that the prisoners be sent to Wulunke to build the city walls, and attached the specific implementation measures for the reduction of the sentence from labor and the settlement on the spot.
Secondly, he wrote a private letter to Zhao Hankun, asking about the placement of those secret prostitutes in the Chunnuan Embroidery Workshop, and gave Zhao Hankun another choice - to send these women to settle down in Wulunke and engage in food and pulp washing.
In the end, he repaired a letter and sent it to the military camp in Changzhou, northeast, to inquire about the number of wounded sergeants in the Xiahou Yue army, revealed to him the idea of summoning the wounded sergeants to Wulunke to participate in the construction of border defense, attached a general plan for public service and remuneration, and sought Xiahou Yue's opinion on the idea of raising troops in Baizhou.
After Lin Taohua knew that Zhou Ming had begun to lay out Wu Lunke's politics, he also sent two letters to Zhuohua Villa and Qingzhou respectively. One letter asked Zhou Wen to take stock of the silver taels in Yuzhou and Qingzhou, and all of them were ready to be shipped to Wulunke except for working capital and daily expenses, and the second letter asked Ji Yu to find the Huiyuan Dart Bureau to be responsible for negotiating the long-term silver taels and the north-south transportation of materials.
At the end of August, everything was ready to stop, Zhou Minglin Taohua and his entourage secretly returned to Beiliang, and the general soldiers of Baizhou received the news early in the morning, and Zhou Ming played a scene in Baimao Mountain to break the bandit village to save the princess, and then returned to Kyoto with the guard of honor, and Zhou Ming went to Wu Lunke to take office.
On the morning of September 16, Zhou Ming and his entourage finally arrived at the Wulunke County Ya.
Looking at the tattered county mansion in front of him, the corners of Lin Taohua's mouth twitched, and he said, "My lord, you might as well be a beggar gang leader if you are an official here." ”
Zhou Ming smiled, took her hand into the dilapidated mansion, swept the dust on the stone bench in the courtyard with his sleeve, and said, "The lady has worked hard all the way, and she will take a break here, and her husband will immediately lead someone to clean this place." ”
Lin Taohua rolled her eyes, folded her sleeves and said, "You think I can't work?" Adults should take someone to see the front office, and I and the white ducks will clean the back office. ”
Zhou Ming touched her face distressedly, "It's hard work." ”
Lin Taohua pouted, "If I had known about this situation, I should have bought more than a dozen of her subordinates to bring over." Alas, it's a mistake, you go quickly, if you don't pack it up today, you won't have a place to live at night. ”
Zhou Ming smiled and said, "Then I'll go, you can do whatever you want, and when I come back to clean up the same, don't be tired of yourself." ”
Lin Taohua's heart was sweet, but she said with disgust: "I know, Lord Zhou is really verbose, let's go." ”
Zhou Ming took Tsing Yi and Hu Jianyi to the front office.
"Madam, you can rest, let's just come." The white mandarin duck carried two large buckets of water from the well in the yard, put them on the edge of the wooden water basin, and then said to Lin Taohua.
Lin Taohua took a broken broom and swept the floor in sweat, and said with a smile after hearing Bai Yuan's words: "I'm fine, let's work together faster." ”
When the white duck saw that she couldn't be idle, he stopped caring about her and started to tidy up the useless objects in the room.
Bai Ya'er is young, she has been learning medical skills with Old Man Bai, and she has never worked in the villa, nor can she do any heavy work, so she is responsible for scrubbing with the second junior high school.
At noon, a middle-aged man drove a sheep home, and when he passed by the county government office that had been idle for a long time, he found that someone was cleaning. After being stunned for a moment, he suddenly drove the sheep home quickly, shouting as he ran: "The county commander is here, the county commander is here." ”
Zhou Ming was busy sorting out the files and account books that were randomly stacked on the case, when he heard the shouts outside, he walked out, and saw a herdsman in shabby clothes running in the direction of the village with his sheep in the distance, shouting and shouting, and he didn't know whether he was surprised or happy.
He shook his head and continued to go back to work, and ate some dry food casually at noon.
An hour later, there was a sudden noise outside the yamen, Zhou Ming put down the file he was looking through, and walked out, Tsing Yi and Hu Jianyi threw the rags and followed closely.
A group of people ran into the county office noisily, and when they looked up, they saw Zhou Ming standing at the door of the lobby. At the head is a big man in his thirties, who looks very burly.
He looked Zhou Ming up and down and asked, "Dare to ask, but Lord Zhou Ming?" ”
Zhou Ming said: "It is this official." ”
The man nodded, clasped his hands into fists and was about to salute, when a white-faced scholar beside him whispered: "Lord County, our place is mixed, and if you don't keep it, someone will come to see his identity, and it's not too late to see his identity a priori." ”
The county Cheng thought about it, and said loudly: "My lord, forgive me, Wu Lunke has not been peaceful these years, and during the insurance period, please show your holy decree." ”
