The teacher Chen Xianyan read the eulogy in public, and then Zhu Chengjun received the plaque symbolizing honor.

Although the county government does not have any substantial rewards other than this honorary plaque and a piece of paper singing praises of virtue, Zhu Chengjun knows that these things are exactly what he lacks at present, and they are also fame that no amount of money can buy.

With fame, he has the capital to integrate into the top circle of Zhongli County and become a proper gentry and celebrity.

A person can only be regarded as a person who can do something with professional skills, and if he can do something with his personal fame or face, he can be regarded as a person.

Taking advantage of Zhu Chengjun's current prestige in the hearts of the people, Corporal Zhang Hongcheng Lixian gave Zhu Chengjun enough courtesy and said: "Ask Zhu Gongzi, how can we ensure that the people in the city can buy low-cost grain smoothly?" Please also advise. ”

Zhu Chengjun replied: "Just implement the plan of 'real-name quantitative purchase limit' proposed below, and this matter is indispensable for the full support of Lord Zhang and all of you." ”

"Seeking the well-being of the people is also our duty as parents and officials, how to arrange it, Zhu Gongzi just told the county officials to do it." Zhang Hongcheng waved his hand lightly, and a group of county government officials and officials stepped forward one after another. Zhang Hongcheng instructed: "From now on, what Zhu Gongzi said is the official's order, and you must follow it." ”

"Obey your lordship's orders!" Everyone then saluted Zhu Chengjun.

Although the implementation of the measure of 'real-name and quantitative purchase restriction' is extremely cumbersome, in the final analysis, there are only three aspects: first, demarcate the grain sales area and limit the area where the people buy grain, second, collect the information of residents in each area to strictly prevent fraudulent purchases, and third, maintain on-site order and prevent chaos.

Under Zhu Chengjun's personal explanation, the tolerance of the group quickly understood the essence.

Zhu Chengjun explained some more details, turned to Zhang Hongcheng and saluted: "Go back to my lord, I'm done talking next." ”

Although he contributed people, food and efforts, he had to retreat behind the scenes when it was time to retreat, and it was unwise to steal the limelight with the county magistrate. After all, Zhang Hongcheng is the chief official of a county, and it is justifiable that he is the only one who gives orders.

Seeing Zhu Chengjun's performance, Zhang Hongcheng admired this young man from the bottom of his heart.

Even with his own personal authorization, Zhu Chengjun always remembers his identity clearly, and plays whatever role he should play.

Zhang Hongcheng bowed his head slightly at the group of messengers and said, "You will act according to what Zhu Gongzi said." ”

All the officers are in their places, each performing their duties.

After the people dispersed, Zhu Chengjun invited the county court officials to the back hall of the Changxing ticket number.

Zhang Hongcheng politely refused on the grounds of inspecting various districts, and at this time he needed to try his best to show his pro-people side.

This is the highlight moment of Zhang Hongcheng, the county magistrate, the county Cheng Zou Ji, the chief bookkeeper Gu Yu, the county lieutenant Zhong Lizhen, and the teacher Chen Juyan also used the excuse of 'not knowing enough about this matter' and needing more advice not to act as the green leaf.

Seeing Zhang Hongcheng leave, Zhu Chengjun turned to the four county government officials and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Zhang is diligent and loves the people, he will be promoted in the future, and he seems to have seen the grand occasion of the people of the county giving away umbrellas to the people." ”

"Lord Zhang has been in charge of this county for many years, and he has made outstanding achievements, and he deserves this umbrella for all people." Zhong Lizhen said with a smile.

The county Cheng Zou Ji, the chief bookkeeper Gu Yu, and the teacher Chen Juyan looked at each other, of course they knew that the reason why Zhang Hongcheng was able to receive this honor before leaving office was all due to Zhu Chengjun's efforts, and the three of them couldn't help but have a heartfelt admiration for this young man from a poor background. They also know that after Zhu Chengjun received the plaque of 'meritorious service to the people', he has become a prominent celebrity in the county, coupled with the huge wealth and his own ability, Zhang Hongcheng can be given remarkable achievements this time, and of course they can harvest the same achievements in the future.

Since ancient times, there have been very few people who have been in charge of the rank and nobility to make friends with people in the lower ranks, but for those who can add glory to their political merit book, any official can happily put down his body and go to the corporal of courtesy.

Zhu Chengjun led the four of them into the backyard of the Changxing ticket number, and saw that they all seemed to have something to discuss with him in private, but because of the presence of his colleagues, no one could erase that face, so he took the initiative to ask to talk to him alone.

The four of them were silent, which made it difficult for Zhu Chengjun, even if he knew the seat of the five minds of the county government, but Zhang Hongcheng was about to be promoted, and the four of them were expected to compete for the vacated position of county magistrate. Before knowing which of the four of them was most likely to get Zhang Hongcheng's recommendation, if he entered the study by name according to the existing seat order and had a private conversation with him, it would inevitably make the future county magistrate suspicious.

Among the people present, the one who wants to say that he has a deep friendship with Zhu Chengjun is the county lieutenant Zhong Lizhen, who seems to see Zhu Chengjun's difficult place to live, and is the first to stand up and speak out, "With Zhong's friendship with the virtuous brother, I will speak bluntly." Zhong Lizhen glanced at the other three, and then said: "Brother Wei knows that Hengtai Pawnshop is the property of the virtuous brother, and Lord Zhang has decided to hand over the Fang family's criminal property to the Hengtai pawnshop for disposal. ”

They are going to pick all the good things in advance, Zhu Chengjun is not good at brushing their face, and I hope that their food will not be too ugly later.

Regarding the disposal of the Fang family's criminal property, Zhu Chengjun received a handwritten letter from Zhang Hongcheng last night, and agreed to eat all the assets at the price he gave. Zhang Hongcheng gave him a peach, and Zhu Chengjun also reciprocated with Li, and paid an extra 10% of the price given by Zhang Hongcheng.

Zhu Chengjun glanced at the three of them, and finally stopped his gaze on Zhong Lizhen and said, "It's easy to say." ”

got Zhu Chengjun's approval, and the three of them couldn't wait to put forward their own requirements, but they didn't mention the price.

Zhong Lizhen saw that the three of them wanted good land, and he was not interested in the gold mountain with mines, so he was relieved about this, and sat on the side without saying a word, as if he was not interested in the other party's rich property at all.

Zhu Chengjun went through it in his mind, daring to love the three of them had already passed the qi, and almost every piece of land they wanted did not conflict. Among the four, Zhong Lizhen is from this county, and the other three are all from other places, and the purchase of a farm house in this county is nothing more than a foreign house for them to be supported by officials outside. Zhu Chengjun saw that the three of them were affectionate and righteous to their concubines and concubines, and they should also take care of them accordingly, so he turned his eyes to look at the three of them, with a look of ridicule in his eyes, and said: "The Fang family's criminal property is in a hurry to deal with it, and the price that Lord Zhang gave to Yutai Pawnshop is one percent lower than the lowest price on the market. ”

The three of them saw that Zhu Chengjun sold their land at a discount, and if they bargained again, they didn't know what to do. Even so, they can't do it if they want to take that much money out at once.

"Zhu Gongzi is quick to talk, and the official will raise money after he goes back." The three of them accepted it when they saw it.

Zhu Chengjun took a sip of tea and said, "If the Fang family's criminal property is bought by the adults as soon as possible, if it is known to outsiders, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the adults." ”

In Zhu Chengjun's opinion, how can there be officials who don't cherish their feathers, and besides, the Fang family's criminal property has never thought of selling it to others from the bottom of his heart. Zhu Chengjun saw that the servants were thoughtful, and then said: "It's a coincidence, Hengtai Pawnshop has several copies of the land property that has expired, and I remember that there are several places that are close to the 'home' of the three adults, but the place is a little smaller, less than sixty percent of what adults need." If the three adults don't dislike it, they are willing to offer it with both hands and don't take a penny. ”

Even if it is less than sixty percent of what you need, it is a lot of silver, and you will give it away?

Such a generous move made the three of them stunned.

Zhu Chengjun saw that the three of them were moved, and continued, "The Fang family's criminal property is planned to be handed over to Changxing to take care of the ticket number, and the original Fang family's big mansion is planned to be used to set up a county school, and as for the income from the field property, it will be used for the county school funds. Zhu Chengjun paused, and then said: "As for the county school, I plan to focus on it after Master Zhang leaves office." ”

"Good...... Zhu Gongzi's move is wonderful! Teachings Chen Yan stood up suddenly, unable to hide his excitement.

In recent years, Zhongli County's finances have become increasingly difficult, and the county school has almost been abolished, but now with a huge amount of continuous input, the revitalization of the county school is just around the corner. If it is really as Zhu Chengjun promised, the scale of Zhongli County's county school can be expanded at least three times on the original basis.

In particular, Zhu Chengjun emphasized that after Zhang Hongcheng stepped down, he would vigorously build a county school, and what this meant could not be clearer than that of those present. If any of them take over the post of county magistrate, they will reap the rewards as soon as they take office, and they have no reason to refuse Zhu Chengjun's proposal.

"Zhu Gongzi has worked hard to revitalize the county's schools, funded and contributed, and I and other parents and officials have thanked Zhu Gongzi on behalf of the majority of students." The four of them stood up and thanked Zhu Chengjun deeply.

The Fang family's criminal property was disposed of, and the result was naturally very happy.

County Cheng Zou Ji, the chief bookkeeper Gu Yu got a huge asset for nothing, and he was overjoyed, and now he can finally give an explanation to the sticky concubine who complains all day long that her clothes are not of good grade and her family has little money.

The two of them couldn't wait to transfer the land property to the name of their concubine, so they immediately got up and said goodbye.

"Master Chen, do you still have something to discuss with my virtuous brother?" Zhong Lizhen saw that Chen Xianyan didn't mean to get up and say goodbye, their affairs were finished, and the benefits were obtained, but his 'golden mountain' had not yet been settled.

"Haha......" Chen Xianyan smiled, "Zhu Gongzi wants to fund the county school, everything must be complicated at the beginning, this official, as a county teacher, still wants to explore with Zhu Gongzi about the establishment of the county school, Lord Zhong still has something?" ”

Zhong Lizhen was slightly displeased, and said: "Please keep the matter of the county school secret first, besides, the day of Lord Zhang's resignation is still early, and there is still time to prepare for the establishment of the county school." This official also wants to discuss with my virtuous brother about better arranging for the people to buy grain, this is an urgent official business, so can't Lord Chen come to disturb my virtuous brother another day? ”

Zhu Chengjun saw that Chen Yan still had no intention of leaving, so he immediately called Shen Ze and ordered: "You first take Master Chen to the attic of my daily office and show my plan to build a county school to Master Chen for review, and I will go over later." ”

Chen Xianyan heard that Zhu Chengjun had already planned to build a county school, and the plan had been written, so he couldn't wait to see it.

After Chen Xianyan left, Zhong Lizhen immediately gave Zhu Chengjun a thumbs up, "Brother Xian really does everything he can." ”

Zhu Chengjun smiled and said, "Lord Zhong is overrated. ”

"There are no outsiders here, and it will be a point to call Lord Zhong, so you should be called big brother." Zhong Lizhen pretended to blame.

"In this way, the little brother will climb high, Brother Zhong." Zhu Chengjun bowed his hand, then glanced at the door vigilantly, leaned over and whispered: "The matter of the eldest brother, the younger brother has arranged it last night, and the eldest brother will go to Hengtai Pawnshop to find the shopkeeper to handle the handover later." ”

"Haha......" Zhong Lizhen raised her head and smiled, raised her hand and patted Zhu Chengjun's shoulder, and said, "Brother will have a treat another day, and have a few drinks with Brother Xian." ”

"That little brother can only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman." Zhu Chengjun smiled knowingly.
