Chapter 202: The Gift
After months of light and dark contact, Li Dangchen also knew that Ma Hanshan was "unfathomable", so Li Dangchen didn't ask him how to let Hu Yu and them eat dogs, he just cooperated as Ma Hanshan said.
The unloaded ship finished unloading, Li Dangchen also left, and Ma Hanshan waited for the arrival of another person.
Waiting for whom? Of course, I'm waiting for Hu Yu.
After another two days, Hu Yu finally went to Huzhou to take office.
In addition to the officials of the various ministries of the government, several counties under the Qingyuan Mansion, the officials of the various ministries and the adults of the counties, of course, want to congratulate Lord Hu, after this kind of regular entertainment, the various ministries and counties, the "eye-catching" ones also have to "report" to the Hu people separately, so back and forth, a few days, they began to toss to the local powerful gentry.
These gentry must be tossed, because they will have to rely on the new adults to take care of them. The new adults also had to toss with them, because a lot of his work was done by these gentry, and if the gentry didn't like him, then he couldn't do a lot of his work at all. In the era when the imperial power was not lower than that of the county, although the magistrates held great power, they did not dare to offend these local overlords.
Wu Guangjie of Wujiazhuang naturally went to see Lord Hu, and after sending a few priceless objects and a foreign beauty who is charming and can make a man lose his soul at a glance, Lord Hu talked with him very happily. In the end, Wu Guangjie inadvertently mentioned the breach of contract in Fan's shipyard, and Lord Hu looked upright, saying that the contract was protected by national law, and no one could trample on it at will, and he would definitely send someone to investigate the matter, give Wujiazhuang an explanation, and also give an explanation to the law-abiding businessmen, and no one should be allowed to act arbitrarily and .......
Wu Guangjie was overjoyed when he heard this, and even called the master Qingtian, and then said goodbye and went home.
Hmph, surnamed Ma, Lao Tzu has opened up the line between heaven and earth, I'll see what else you can do.
Of course, Wu Guangjie is not just looking for Hu Yu, he has already handed it to Lin'an... No, to be precise, those Qingtian lords in the county, the government, and the capital have reported the evil deeds of Fan's shipyard for breaking the contract and refusing to compensate to the Criminal Department, the Household Department, Dali Temple, and other places.
Of course, this is not a formal complaint, it is those who have received Wu Guangjie's benefits and reported the matter to the above, which means that the official text above will come down and give him a "Shang Fang Sword", so that they can "seriously and seriously" investigate the case thoroughly.
Hu Yu is the prefect, he can take care of this matter, and he can also push this matter to the official and judge. However, he is a shrewd person, he has to find out the ins and outs of this matter first, if there is any benefit, of course he is willing to take it as the first fire of the new official to take office, and it is also very important to clean up business affairs, which is related to the people's livelihood.
If this matter is not beneficial, or if it is too difficult to handle, he will definitely not get his hands dirty, and will directly hand it over to the deputy and the sixth department in charge of this area.
After a few days of entertainment, he was finally officially promoted to the office, and he was busy all day, and finally got off duty, Hu Yu dragged his tired body back to the backyard of the house, but found that a person he didn't know was sitting in the hall of the house and drinking tea alone. He knew that he would not be here for long, so he did not plan to buy a house, and living in the house for two was a good indication of his diligence.
"You... Who are you... Come... Come....... Hu Yu was furious in his heart, no one found out how strangers came in, and then he got angry, he raised so many officials and nurses, what did they eat.
"Don't call Lord Hu, don't call it, the people in the backyard are all in the firewood room, and the other officials are on duty, who do you call?" The stranger in the hall smiled gently and said, "I'm not a thief, I'm not a wicked person, I'm here to renew Lord Hu's life." ”
"You... Who are you....... Hu Yu's attention finally fell on this person's fancy dress, and he stammered, "You... Your last name is Ma? ”
"Haha, I didn't expect that Master Hu actually knew about Ma." The strangers in the hall laughed.
That's right, the person in the hall is Ma Hanshan, he thinks that at this time, it is safe to come here to meet Hu Yu, and no one would have thought that someone would come to see Hu like this. Because of Hu Yu's statement, Wu Guangjie's sentry to Ma Hanshan was also relaxed, and he must not have imagined that Ma Hanshan would be so bold and dare to meet Hu Yu in this way.
Hu Yu is still different from others as an official, many people, when they are seven or eight officials, are completely out of society, only going around in their own small circles, and they don't know what is happening in society at all. But Hu Yu is different, he is very concerned about things in society, in the words of modern people, it is down-to-earth, this old man usually listens to his subordinates and the servants at home talk about things on the street, no matter what news, he knows everything.
Therefore, he can be said to be the person who knows Mahanshan the most among the people who don't know Mahanshan in Lin'an, before Mahanshan came to Lin'an, he had started, and after Mahanshan arrived in Lin'an, he paid attention to it every day. He also improved his relationship with his son a lot because of this, because every day, his son had the most news of Mahanshan.
He knew all of Ma Hanshan's actions in Lin'an, Ma Hanshan suddenly left Lin'an, and he soon knew that this guy had gone to Mingzhou. In fact, he also knew about Fan's shipyard, but why did he agree to Wu Guangjie so crisply just now? It's not that he doesn't know about Mahan Mountain, and it's not that he is not afraid of Mahan Mountain. Purely because, when Lin'an set off, someone was angry with him, and he had the opportunity to help Wu Guangjie.
The gift sent by Wu Guangjie is not light, and his colleagues have taken care of him, whether he wants to pull the bias or not, whether it is successful or not, he has an attitude, otherwise, no matter what aspect, he will not be able to erase his face.
"Master Ma Zhai, is it too rude to visit Hu in such a way?" Hu Yu quickly calmed down.
Ma Hanshan is a famous and wealthy person, he doesn't believe that Ma Hanshan will do anything drastic, according to his understanding, although this guy is arrogant, but he generally will not use force to solve problems. Therefore, it is not a problem to be safe. Since security is not a problem now, what is there to be afraid of?
"Master Hu thinks I'm here to visit? Don't you think I'm more like I'm here to plunder? Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Hehe, the owner of the horse village laughed, who doesn't know that the owner of the horse village is a giant businessman, rich and rivals the country, how can he come to rob a petty official like me." Hu Yu smiled and sat down on the chair opposite Mahan Mountain and said, "Master Ma Zhai, let's speak up." ”
"Haha, Master Hu may have said something wrong this time, maybe, I really came to rob it." With a snap, Ma Hanshan made a sound, and Su Ying, who was dressed as a man, came out of the room holding a box.
Hu Yu's eyes swept away, and his face changed suddenly, this box... It's a "congratulatory gift" I received in the past two days. It doesn't matter what other people send, there are ...... from Wujiazhuang.
If you let others know that you have received such a valuable gift from Wujiazhuang, then it will be difficult to say that you will have to handle the case of Fan's Shipyard in the future, so Hu Yu's face became a little ugly.
Originally, he should have asked someone to bring him back to Lin'an's old mansion in the morning, but his best henchman happened to be sick... Who would have thought that such a coincidence Ma Hanshan came.
"Master Ma Zhai, what do you want?" Hu Yu knew very well that although Ma Hanshan was called the owner of the village, he was not the owner of the bandit cottage, and he knew that Ma Hanshan was definitely not here to "rob the congratulatory gift".
"There is a folk saying that the Qing Governor's Mansion for three years, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, hehe, Lord Hu, you earned 100,000 yuan just after taking office... Well, in this box of things, there are a lot of treasures worth 10,000 gold, and it is estimated that when converted, there are more than 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
Well, who said that? It's really incisive, Hu Yu's heart actually secretly praised Ma Hanshan's incisive speech, he knows very well that there is no official who is not greedy or black.
Greedy for ink, as long as there is a human society, it must exist, Hu Yu knows this very well. Therefore, he thinks that Ma Hanshan's words are very wonderful.
"It's a favor." Hu Yu smiled and said, "The owner of the horse village should just say what he wants." ”
"Most of the boxes in this box were sent by Wujiazhuang, when is Lord Hu going to seize the modern shipyard." Ma Hanshan doesn't talk nonsense and gets straight to the point.
"Master of Ma Village, don't talk nonsense about things without evidence, in addition, how this official governs the territory, you don't need to ask the master of Ma Village." Hu Yu said with a dark face, he knew that Ma Hanshan came for this matter, to tell the truth, if the pressure from above did not put him with pressure, he might have to get by, if the pressure from above was great, he couldn't say, he was going to run the shipyard, although Ma Hanshan also had a relationship in Lin'an, but he only came, the relationship should not be deep.
"Really? So, is Lord Hu ready to set up my shipyard? Ma Hanshan glanced at Hu Yu with a smile and said, "Lord Hu thinks twice, there are some things that you can't turn back if you do them." ”
Hu Yu originally wanted to go back, but he suddenly felt that Ma Hanshan's smile hid a lot of content, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and secretly said, this kid doesn't give gifts or plead, but his intention is obvious, that is, to let this official not handle the shipyard case. But why is he so sure? Why do you say this?
He must have something to rely on, but what is it?
Hu Yu is the second official who has been promoted the fastest and most frequently since the founding of Da Song, because he is not like other officials, who are always self-righteous. If it were someone else, Ma Hanshan would have been so angry when he talked to a second-class member like this.
Hu Yu is different, Ma Hanshan made him think twice, he really thought twice.
"Fan's shipyard breached the contract and did not deliver the goods, this kind of breach of contract." Hu Yu only said the reason, not what he would do.
"Really? Have you read the contract? Ma persuaded Hu people to study it before deciding, and they must not pat their heads to decide. Ma Hanshan saw Hu Yu's reaction and knew that it was almost over, so he stood up and smiled and said, "Actually, Ma also came to give a gift to Lord Hu today, and I guarantee that the gifts I gave to adults are better than theirs." ”
Ma Hanshan took out an oiled paper bag from his bosom and handed it to Hu Yu and said: "Master Hu, I think that local bullies and traitors like Wujiazhuang should be banned by the government in time and punished severely, otherwise, the people of Da Song will have no peace, and the law of Da Song will not be open." ”
