The county seat is so big, and it's actually hard to hide it.

A few days ago, Master Lin and his wife came to the Gu Mansion together, and they brought a lot of things, and when they finally left, they were full of smiles, and it didn't take long for these words to reach the ears of others.

Mr. Lin is the president of the local Chamber of Commerce, and many of these wealthy people in the local area want to give him face, and they usually discuss anything.

But when Master Lin went to Gu Mansion that day, he didn't reveal any news, if he hadn't been seen by others, I'm afraid this matter wouldn't have been known.

When Tiankuo first came here before, it was also Master Lin who first came to visit with things, and then others would come, which also meant to give him face.

Later, everyone didn't come, and it was also what Master Lin meant, this little magistrate didn't give them face, and they didn't have to hold it, just ignore him.

I haven't heard of the need to send a gift for the New Year, but this Master Lin sent it, but he didn't inform everyone, what is An's mind?

For a while, many people wondered in their hearts, should they follow his example and send some gifts to the Gu Mansion?

If this is sent, isn't it obvious that Master Lin is not in his eyes? Even if he didn't tell him, they gave them gifts.

But if you don't send it, won't you be left behind? Master Lin is clever, he sent it first, but if they didn't send it, Gu Zhixian would hate them when he turned around.

They weighed the severity, was it more serious to offend Master Lin, or was the consequences of offending Gu Zhixian more serious?

At this time, the county town temporarily changed its atmosphere, and no longer listened to Master Lin, except for him, others began to get together to discuss and see what to do about this matter.

In the end, everyone still felt that they couldn't offend Gu Zhixian, after all, he was an official, although he was new to the court, he was appointed by the imperial court, and he still had real power in his hands.

What's the use of them always looking at Master Lin, at this critical moment, Master Lin doesn't ignore them at all, he still has to pave the road himself.

Master Lin has given gifts by himself, can they still lag behind? After discussing it, everyone decided to go back to prepare gifts, and asked people to inquire about what Mr. Lin and his wife sent to the county magistrate's mansion.

These things can be clarified with a little inquiry, and when they learned that he also gave three thousand taels of silver, everyone wondered in their hearts, didn't Gu Zhixian say that he would not accept money? Why did you accept it all? Since they have received it, then they can't just look at it, what is three thousand taels of silver?

Now they want to give gifts, which can be regarded as offending Master Lin, so they can't offend him too much, so they can't cross him, so everyone only gave two thousand taels.

It's all been discussed, and even the gifts are pretty much ready.

Since the first day of the new year, some people have come to the door one after another, wanting to go to Gufu to get acquainted, everyone has already left the relationship, and they can't fall too far behind.

Anyway, this day is all arranged, and you can't rush to the door together.

On the first day of the new year, it happened that Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tianlai were also in Gufu, and after lunch, everyone sat together and talked, and someone came to the house.

They are here, and those people have nothing to avoid, they are all officials, so what secrets are not possible, and the money is accepted, and it is estimated that it will be divided.

In the past, they didn't take these two surnamed Wang in their eyes, because they really didn't have any real power, and even if they held them, they wouldn't bring them any substantial benefits.

And now it's different, it's obvious that they have a good relationship with this Gu Zhi County, they please Gu Zhi County, and they can't offend these two people, otherwise if they say a word in the back, it will make all these gifts go down the drain.

When the first one came to the door, it was the same as when he received Master Lin, and the words were almost the same, and in the end, Tiankuo still left everything behind.

When they left, Tiankuo pondered, "I also said that I would raise donations after the New Year, but I haven't started to raise donations yet, and the silver will be sent to the door one after another." ”

Wang Tianxiang said, "My lord, what's going on? ”

Tiankuo smiled, "Didn't I tell you yesterday?" A few days ago, Master Na Lin sent something to the house, most of which was to let these people hear the rumors, so they sent it with him. ”

Wang Tianxiang nodded, "In this way, the money for repairing the river channel is enough, but this matter must be handled well, otherwise, it will be the adults who will receive their silver." ”

Tiankuo said, "Don't worry, I know what to do." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone from outside came, and it still meant to give them a gift gift.

In this afternoon, he received three families, all of whom were full of sincerity, with silver and gifts.

In a blink of an eye, it was evening, Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tianlai had to go back, no one would come again at night, right?

After they are gone, close the door and continue the lively New Year.

Tiankuo said, "Thanks to you, if you weren't here, how could this money have come so smoothly?" ”

Chen Qiuchi smiled, "I didn't think I still had this role, it doesn't matter, they are afraid of me, it's good that they are willing to hand over the silver, it's better than if you can't raise money, right?" If you have money in hand, then you have to do something practical for the people here, you are the champion of the new department, after all, the court values you, and it is already a grievance to let you come to this place, and as soon as the four-year term expires, you will definitely be allowed to leave, in these four years, you have to think of a way, don't live up to my trust in you. ”

Tiankuo arched his hand towards him, "Don't worry, I will do my best to make the people here live a good life, and I will not abandon them." ”

Chen Qiuchi was very happy, "I knew that I didn't see the wrong person, but fortunately I saved you at the beginning, otherwise wouldn't it harm the people of the entire county?" ”

The second and third years of junior high school are the same, every day there are people who come to the door to give money and gifts, and after giving them, those people are very happy, and they are happy when they leave.

Tiankuo these days all the money collected in the book, adding up to almost 20,000 taels, before they worked so long to raise less than 2,000 taels of silver, who knows that these days, people themselves sent to the door is ten times the number.

Don't those people have any money in their hands? How is it possible, it's just that the richer the more you are, the more you pick, not to mention that you are used to squeezing the people, so how can you easily take out the money? Someone has to be able to stop them.

Jun went back on the fifth day of the new year, after he left, Tiankuo was not idle, and immediately discussed with Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tianlai about fundraising, and it was about to start after the eighth day of the new year.
