"Things can't be done in a day, let's eat first."

Lu Weimang's state was seen in both Qionglai and Yangzhou, so he was not surprised, and only advised her not to be too anxious.

"Well, let's go."

Lu Weimang grabbed Huo Jing's arm, and the two of them walked out of the library together.

After a simple dinner, Lu Weimang and Huo Jing entered the library together.

Lu Weimang is looking for the information he needs, and Huo Jing also has his own military affairs that need to be verified. Although the two people are in the same room, they are busy with each other and do not disturb each other.

Xiaoqiu quietly walked into the library and replaced the candles in the pavilion one by one, making the room brighter.

"Still busy?"

Lin Chen pulled Xiao Qiu out and asked.

"Well, I went in and changed the candle, and neither of us looked up."

The two sighed.

The master was busy all night, and their subordinates were idle and could not help.

…

In the next few days, Lu Weimang was in the library pavilion, except for eating and going to the toilet, he never went out.

Everyone in the house walked lightly, not daring to disturb the master, and Qi Hongxi of the yamen breathed a sigh of relief. "Great, it's good for adults to be lazy like this, anyway, Jincheng Yamen hasn't had any serious business to do for a year."

Just after the half-month handover period, Lu Weimang officially took office on the first day.

"Lord Lu, the people from the state government have arrived, and even the officials, except for those who are patrolling the city, are also present."

Qi Hongxi took people to meet Shangguan.

Lu Weimang sat on the official seat of Zhizhou and looked at the dozen or so people in the hall.

"Lord Qi, this is the rules and plan formulated by this official, you distribute it and show it to everyone."

Lu Weimang handed a stack of bound official documents in his hand to Qi Hongxi.

Qi Hongxi came up and took it, "By the way, everyone present knows how to read, right?" ”

Lu Weimang asked.

Qi Hongxi had a black line on his forehead, "My lord, after all, we are the yamen of the state capital, and we still recognize the words, but there are some allusions, I'm afraid it's a little rusty." ”

Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, the official won't chew the words, what is written is in the vernacular, and he can understand it if he can read the words." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the people in the hall, "Everyone, the time of a pillar of incense, you read it carefully, don't slack off, I will check it in a while." ”

Although Lu Weimang is a woman, she is the governor of a state, and she is in a high position, so naturally everyone respects her. Moreover, the new official took office three fires, and the hall was full of old fritters, and they all cheered up at the moment, carefully read the Chinese books, and strive not to be punished for a while.

After a pillar of incense, all the people in the hall were blind, and they whispered to each other.

"Okay, don't whisper, if you have any questions, you can ask them out loud."

Everyone still hesitated, but Qi Hongxi, who had dealt with Lu Weimang a few times, was the first to speak, "My lord, what do you mean by "contracting"? And the monthly salary I am waiting for, you said that you will do things for you, and the monthly salary will be doubled? What is the meaning? ”

Lu Weimang saw that everyone was unclear, so he simply made it clear, "Contracting is literal." At the beginning of the confluence of the two rivers outside our Jincheng, I had already checked the information in the Yamen documents, and it was not distributed to the locals for cultivation, and the fields that were developed were all cultivated by the people of the nearby villages without permission. Therefore, the official paid for the estuary of the river, and the fields that were cultivated there were compensated according to the superior fields. Moreover, this official has just arrived, and he also needs your help to develop the estuary and build the wharf, but it is just some manpower and masonry, and you are all locals, and you all have a way to do this. Therefore, whoever can contribute to the official's wharf will be given an extra salary, one month, ten taels! ”

Everyone gasped, ten taels? In this golden city, the most profitable restaurant can earn ten taels a month I don't know, if you take this salary, wouldn't you become the first "worker" in this golden city?

"My lord, I am not talented, and I am the most senior head catcher in Jincheng, and there is no one I don't know, and I don't know about business. Therefore leave this errand to me, and I promise to vacate the estuary for you in three days, and in a month, to put the wharf on the shelves, and in three months at most, to give you a brand new wharf! ”

The old man Xie was the first to speak, Lu Weimang saw that the old man had a good face, looking like a snake on the ground, and just as he was about to nod, someone came out to cut off his beard, "My lord!" ”

The ambassador of the field tax shouted loudly, "The estuary is planted by the old men of Shichuangou Village, Gezhen outside Jincheng, and they are the copper peas of our Jincheng, and the field tax must be delayed until the end every year before it can be collected." Xie Zhutou has been in Jincheng all the year round, and he may not know how much the old men in the village value the fields. My lord, you might as well leave the matter of clearing the fields to the lowly position, and the lowly position will definitely give you a safe and quick clearance! ”

Lu Weimang nodded, and was just about to agree with Ambassador Tian Shui, when someone spoke again, "My lord! If you leave the matter to me, I guarantee that you will spend the least amount of money and get it done! ”

"What is this?"

Lu Weimang looked at Qi Hongxi, Qi Hongxi looked loveless, "My lord, you forgot, he is the Jincheng Inspector, and he is not only a local, but also a local clan. ”

"Oh~" Lu Weimang understood. "In addition to these three, those who still have ideas should hurry up and settle down for a while, but there will be no chance."

When everyone heard this, they became impatient, "My lord, my seventh uncle and grandfather are selling timber in Tianshui, and you can hand over the wood to me to ensure good quality and low price!" ”

"You go away, adults have money, what do you do with wood, if you want to build it, use good materials, you can use it for hundreds of years, my lord, my father-in-law sells stones in Zhangye, their stones are all quarried on Qilian Mountain, strong and neat, I guarantee to build a wharf for you, and it can be passed down from generation to generation!"

"Old Five, you go to the side, isn't your father-in-law selling stone stele longevity materials, and the things used by the dead can also be used by the living?"

"That's it, my lord, don't listen to them, my second uncle is a fire kang in the city, you hand over the dock to him, and it will be built for you in two and a half months!"

"Ondol?"

Lu Weimang smiled.

"My lord, don't believe it, my second uncle has also been to the south of the Yangtze River, and he has craftsmanship in his hands, but our locals have not built houses for many years, so they went to build a firekang. He also did a lot of great work in Jiangnan back then! ”

Seeing that everyone was blushing, Qi Hongxi, who was watching coldly, couldn't stand it anymore, "Silence!" ”

Qi Hongxi has always had some prestige in the local area, so he shouted, and everyone's voices were lowered, looking at Qi Hongxi, who had an ugly face.

Qi Hong was happy to see that everyone was arguing and stopped, so he looked at Lu Weimang, "My lord, our Yongzhou foundation is thin, and we can't stand the toss!" ”

In one sentence, it was bitter and sad, so that everyone in the hall did not know why and did not dare to speak.

Lu Weimang was still smiling, "Did I use Yongzhou's foundation?" I didn't have to pay for the removal of illegal fields, but didn't I also pay for appeasement? There is also the construction of the dock, which I also use with my own money. Do you know what contracting is? It's that I spend money on development, and the back is a loss or a profit, and it has nothing to do with the state government yamen. The worst thing is that I wasted some silver tickets, you don't have to feel sorry for me. ”

Lu Weimang said, looking at everyone in the hall, "This university is not outstanding in talent and talent, but it is rich." ”

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Okay, whoever has a relationship in the family, just find it for me, there are real materials, I will not refuse to come, and those who cheat money will go to prison!"

Lu Weimang's amiable face spit out two cold words, which made everyone's hearts chill, and then when he thought of the silver, he became hot again, and rushed out of the yamen, about to contact Lu Weimang.

Lu Weimang hurriedly stopped, "Okay, don't delay the business, if anyone delays the work because of the dock, they will be severely punished!" As for the docks, I will go again. ”

Lu Weimang waved his hand, and everyone retreated.
