Chapter 260: You Heng Seeks Officials
Jia Xu's plan is an unsolvable conspiracy. Regardless of whether Long Xiang accepts the edict or not, it is Long Xiang himself who is in trouble.
When Liu Fu and Qin Yi were preparing to drive the honor guard, Long Xiang was still in the dark at this time, unaware. Hefei New City is in full swing under construction, and the city wall can be erected in mid to late June as planned, and Long Xiang has begun to plan the enclosure inside the city wall.
The size of the new city is five times larger than the existing old city, and the city is now full of crops, and for a long time, it will still maintain the attributes of cultivated land, even in the event of war, it will not be afraid of running out of food.
Long Xiang comes from the future world and has insights into urban planning and layout, he believes that the inner city can be built slowly, but it must be kept neat and beautiful, and the layout of residential areas, military and political yamen, and artisan workshop areas should be reasonable.
If the cement plant's capacity is sufficient, Longxiang also plans to harden the roads in the new city, but those good ideas are a later story.
Hefei is located in the Jianghuai hub area, and will soon have a conflict with Cao Cao, and there may be friction with Jiangdong, Long Xiang does not dare to hope for a stable development of three or five or seven years, but it is also necessary to set the planning plan.
As the so-called dripping water through stones, what if it can be realized? When Long Xiang was inspecting outside the city, Lu Su suddenly sent someone to invite him back to the city, saying that there was an urgent matter to discuss.
At present, the most urgent thing is nothing more than to help Liu Bei contain Cao Cao, Long Xiang mistakenly thought that there was a situation in Runan, so he instructed his brother-in-law Qiao Ling and said: "This kind of soil under our feet is the main material for making bricks and cement, you can take a look at it nearby, and then pile up to set the landmark, and wait until the outer wall of the new city is erected, we will build a brick factory, a cement factory and so on near here." ”
"Factory?" Qiao Ling scratched his head in confusion, he had never heard the term. Long Xiang was embarrassed when he saw this, and in a hurry, he exploded a modern word, he has invented a lot of new words in the field of architecture, although Qiao Ling is not surprised, but he still has an expression of seeking advice.
"The factory is a big workshop, the scale of the new city is so huge, if there are still small workshops everywhere, it is difficult to manage, so I changed the name, and when the external city wall is completed in the middle of the year, the construction speed in the city will slow down, mainly to build cement factories, brick factories and rest roads, then the third brother does not have to stare at the construction, you can accompany your aunt to do filial piety, or let you be a factory director to practice?"
"Factory director? All right. Qiao Ling felt that this new official position sounded very good, and agreed without half hesitation, he thought that he had no ability to govern the army, and if he made achievements in internal affairs, he could also earn some face for the Qiao family.
Besides, brother-in-law can pit his younger brother? That's absolutely impossible, and neither sister can agree. Qiao Ling was afraid that Long Xiang would regret it, so he immediately urged him to return to the city: "Brother-in-law, Mr. Lu must have something important to do with you, and I will handle the address of the factory, and it will be handled properly." ”
"It's fine." Long Xiang nodded in agreement, left Lei Xu in place to help, and returned to the old city near the river by himself.
In front of the captain's mansion, Long Xiang was surprised to find that Lu Su was waiting at the door, and saw that he was directly greeted from the steps.
What's so urgent? Long Xiang rolled over and jumped down from the saddle.
"Zijing has always been calm, why is he so eager today? Is it to send you a message back? Or did Cao Cao's main force go south? ”
"Neither" Lu Su frowned and shook his head, approached Long Xiang and whispered: "It's You Zhengping who came to ask for an official, after I politely refused a few times, he directly found the Captain's Mansion, and he is waiting in the main hall of the vestibule at the moment."
"Youheng? Remember he's been out of the kiln for more than a month, right? Haven't even left Hefei? Long Xiang looked surprised.
Lu Su smiled bitterly: "Not only did he not leave, but he also asked the yamen to apply for an identity number and become an official resident of Hefei." ”
"If he wants it, he will give it." Long Xiang disagreed, and then explained: "Normally, it can be given in three months, but people have done half a year's labor, and they can do heavy work such as moving bricks and building cities in the first three months, which is much harder than that Liu Fu." ”
"But the identity number has to be a profession, and I don't know what to set for him." Seeing Lu Su's embarrassed face, Long Xianggai asked curiously: "You Heng has no relatives and no reason in Hefei, what has he lived on for more than a month?" Lu Su sighed: "It seems that working as a small worker in various workshops and construction sites, food and clothing can be solved" Long Xiang was very surprised when he heard it, and said in his heart that although You Heng's mouth is broken, he can take off his shirt and do rough work, although his personality is wild and free, he is not pretentious.
"If you can't do it, you will be a craftsman?" Lu Su shook his head after hearing the proposal: "You Zhengping is a celebrity after all, and the punishment for half a year is enough, don't forget that you are not just a person, you will always show your relationship with the imperial uncle in the future, and the sin of treating famous people harshly is not small, don't make trouble for the imperial uncle." Long Xiang frowned and asked, "What should I do then?" This person's personality is particularly arrogant, if he stays in Hefei as an official, wouldn't it be torture for his colleagues? ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" Lu Su's face was full of bitterness: "I wanted to ask him to leave euphemistically, whether it was Jiangdong or the Central Plains, I was willing to fund his entanglement, but you Zhengping seemed to have a crush on Hefei, and he saw that I had shirked many times, so he came to you to recommend himself."
"Okay, you Lu Zijing." Long Xiang pointed at him and shook his head and quipped: "I heard that this person wrote a paper, after Ziyang went to Runan, there was no shortage of documents in the main bookkeeper's house?" ”
"There is no shortage. I can handle it" Lu Su waved his hand when he heard this, he didn't want the harmonious situation of the main book's mansion to be broken by You Heng like this.
"You're giving me a problem." Long Xiang pinched his chin and thought about it, then pointed to the door of the mansion and motioned to Lu Su and said, "Let's go, let's go and meet him for a while, you can't let people block the door." ”
"Hmm." Then the two entered the house side by side, and Long Xiang saw a person standing at the door of the main hall from a distance in the courtyard, needless to say, he knew that it was You Heng.
You Heng has been in Hefei for more than half a year, and at this time the clothes on his body are worn, but he still stands straight and firm, like a soldier standing guard.
"Mr. You, don't come unharmed."
"The general's spirit is still the same, Hefei is well governed, and the dragon is worthy of its name." Long Xiang was already mentally prepared to be ridiculed, but he didn't want You Heng to meet him as a rainbow fart, and said in his heart that this is still the troll he saw last year?
Is this a transformation in place or what? Thinking that Liu Fu was sprayed thin, Long Xiang's thinking is not so simple, I can't be confused by your appearance.
"How do I know what governance? This is all the credit of Lu Zijing, Mr. Please speak in the palace. Long Xiang used to transfer skills, and put the credit on Lu Su, and then motioned to You Heng to enter the hall to talk again, and said in his heart Since you are willing to talk well, I will accompany you for two yuan.
You Heng glanced at Lu Su, stroked his beard and shook his head as he walked: "The general's ability can deceive outsiders, but he can't deceive me You Heng, I have moved bricks, beaten ashes, dug soil, burned kilns in the past six months, and met countless toiling people, the answer they gave me was the most real, it was the general who gave them food, the general is a down-to-earth person, not a warlord for fame and profit" Long Xiang was praised by You Heng uncomfortable, so he stopped and looked back: "I like to listen to opinions, I don't like to listen to people to praise, Mr. is here today, What exactly do you want to do? You Heng raised three fingers: "I have come for three questions, and it is very important to me to ask the general to answer them truthfully." Long Xiang thought for a moment and waved his hand: "Sir, let's talk about it."
"Who does the general think Cao Cao is?" You Hengyan looked at Long Xiang with a solemn face, and Long Xiang didn't even think about blurting out: "If it's big, it's a thief, and if it's small, it's me who killed my father's enemy." ”
"The second question, does the general think that the Han family can be saved? If the Son of Heaven is not controlled by Cao Cao, can he become a generation of Ming Jun? ”
