Chapter 57 Road Repair Completed in Phases
During this time, the atmosphere in Yongshun County became increasingly depressed.
Since Huang Xiancheng resigned from his official position and openly argued with Wang County's order, many officials have been in a dilemma.
On the one hand, Huang Xiancheng, who has been operating in the county for many years, has a solid foundation and a network of power secretly intertwined.
On the one hand, he took advantage of the case of embezzlement of ink to ruthlessly clean up the genuine county order.
These two forces are no longer just secretly competing with each other behind the scenes, but have clearly become irreconcilable enemies.
No one below dares to offend, and no one can afford to offend.
Everyone is chasing after the wind, trying to find some basis for taking sides.
It's under the pressure of such a near-solidified, breathless person.
Wang's county order did not suspend the policy of donating money to build roads, but instead supervised the officials more and more strictly.
Fortunately, the money and food donated by the merchants were quite sufficient, and they no longer had an excuse to be lazy.
And after the previous vigorous rectification, they did not dare to stumble on the county order at this time.
The road, which was originally expected to be built until the busy farming season, was completely completed and opened to traffic when Chen Ping came to the county seat again.
A wide and sturdy flat official road connects the county seat with Qingsong Town.
This official road makes the distance between the two places not much changed.
However, the time required for vehicles, horses and pedestrians to travel between the two places has been reduced by more than half.
Once the road was built, many caravans in the county town set up mules and horses to verify the quality of the road.
As the leading businessman in the county, Fuding Building is naturally the first to bear the brunt.
When everyone saw the carriage transporting pottery in Fuding Building, they returned from Qingsong Town on the same day.
And the vessels of the cart were not damaged by the bumps in the road.
Everyone applauded.
Yongshun County has been blocked by traffic for a long time, and the categories of goods are even scarce, because many goods are inconvenient to come and go.
The construction of this road has benefited both merchants and ordinary people.
The business pattern of Yongshun County will also be transformed, and many dark horse merchants will emerge to inject fresh blood into the development of the county.
Chen Ping sat in the carriage of the academy and came to the county seat again.
Before I arrived at the county office, I found a place on the side of the road, which was very lively.
On a big gilded signboard, there are three big characters written vigorously and powerfully-Fuding Building.
Huang Liuye, who was smiling all over the face in front of the door, was bowing back to the crowd who came to congratulate one by one.
Everyone congratulated Huang Liuye on becoming a celebrity in front of the county order.
Huang Liuye also did not refuse to come, and all of them were invited into the building to entertain them.
It is said that the stone tablet that is about to be erected will engrave the names of Fuding Lou and Huang Liuye in the first line, and it will also be specially painted with red paint.
The proprietors of the various commercial houses who came to congratulate them said good things about not asking for money, and seemed to congratulate sincerely, but their hearts were extremely jealous and sour.
I can't wait to turn back the clock and seize the opportunity to be the first person to take refuge in Wang County.
In their eyes, Huang Liuye is already a person from Wang County's order.
Although Wang Xianling and Huang Liuye never said it explicitly, actions often carry more weight than words, and they are more convincing.
If it weren't for the fact that he was attached to the county order, how could Huang Liuye come up with a huge sum of five thousand taels to help the county repair the road.
Wang County's reward for him is also quite weighty.
In the eyes of those businessmen, the exchange of interests is the most solid relationship.
At this time, Huang Liuye's smugness was so proud that Chen Ping could clearly smell it from afar.
Chen Ping looked at it a few times and felt that it was extremely boring.
So he asked the coachman not to delay and went straight to the county office.
After Chen Ping's carriage left, Huang Liuye stood in the crowd and watched in the direction of his departure for a long time.
......
As soon as Chen Ping stepped into the side door of the county office, he heard Wang County's hearty laughter.
As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when they are happy.
In this laughter, there is a sense of joy and ease.
A long-cherished wish has finally come true.
Even if only a small part of it has been achieved now, it is enough for Wang Xianling to be happy.
Moreover, the official road from the county seat to Qingsong Town is not a one-time work, nor is it a temporary benefit, and the county's businessmen will get real convenience after the completion of the repair.
Not only will the time it take to carry the goods will be greatly reduced, but the various losses along the way will also be greatly reduced.
The cost reduction is a great joy for both Jia businessmen and the people.
Things are going so smoothly, no wonder Wang Xianling laughs wherever he goes.
As soon as he saw Chen Ping, he said with a smile.
"The little prodigy in our county came very quickly, is the road much smoother?"
Chen Ping replied: "Congratulations to the county lord for achieving his long-cherished wish and solving the biggest problem in Yongshun County." “
"From now on, the lives of the people in the county will be prosperous, and the poor people will be able to find new jobs."
"All of this is your work, and the people will remember it for generations to come!"
After speaking, he made a great gift very solemnly.
Regardless of whether Wang Xianling is a little floating now, Chen Ping is grateful to this person from the bottom of his heart.
Without his perseverance, it is estimated that the roads in Yongshun County will not improve significantly within a few decades, and maybe they will get worse and worse.
And the people in the county can only follow the established path of life, confined to this small county, and spend their lives in the fields to eat.
I don't know how many people's lives will be changed by this trip.
I don't know how many poor people will be allowed to embark on the road of food and clothing.
Chen Ping's serious look made Wang Xianling also restrain his smile.
He looked directly at Chen Ping and took a deep look!
Said sincerely: "Boy Chen Ping, thank you for your idea!" ”
"If I didn't have this idea of donating money to build roads, even if I had eight mouths, I wouldn't have enough money and food."
"Here, on behalf of the people of the county, thank you!"
Where did Chen Ping dare to accept this worship, wouldn't this mess up the humility, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it.
Ye Lao, who had just come over, stroked his beard and smiled, not impressed by Wang County's condescending courtesy.
Instead, he smiled and said: "You just let him thank you, your contribution this time is really not small, when it was basically completed two days ago, Wang Xianling's recital sheet had already been handed over." ”
"With such a repair official road, the merit of connecting the people of the city and county, at most in another year or two, I am afraid that the seat of the Wang County Order will be moved up!"
Although Wang Xianling does not have too much selfishness about promotion, he is not obsessed with higher power.
But he also said that if he can stand in a higher position, he will definitely have access to more resources, grasp more voice, and do more things for the people.
The atmosphere in the entire county government was jubilant, and the officials also thought of the possibility of Wang County's imminent promotion, and they became more and more diligent in their work.
It seems as if everything is moving in a better direction.
Only Ye Lao, there was a trace of worry hidden between his eyebrows.
It hasn't been dissipated by what we're doing now.
