"We have scattered merchants in Linyang, and we have always wanted to set up a chamber of commerce, so that we can check the retail investors and help each other to develop better.

It's just that business is controlled by the government according to the rules, and whether this can be done depends on the meaning of Lord Chen. ”

As soon as Boss Zhang finished speaking, Chen Jian'an understood.

This is really a lion's big mouth, and one mouth wants to control Lin Yang Business!

Although Lin Yang was not wealthy, it was an important channel for trade between foreign clans and Ming Xia, which is why Lin Yang's county orders were always personally assigned by His Majesty, because he was not at ease to hand over such an important route to any other force.

If he really agrees to his request, then in the future, Lin Yang and even Mingxia's trade will be choked by the throat of the Zhang family.

Chen Jian'an's eyes darkened, he picked up the wine glass in front of him and raised it to Boss Zhang, and said with a smile:

"What is the big deal about this official, it's just to form a chamber of commerce, no problem!

It's just that the Chamber of Commerce must have a president, and the official is a newcomer, but he doesn't know who is more suitable for a while.

It's better to go to discuss the relevant matters of the Chamber of Commerce first, and when the official handles the affairs of the refugees, he will select a person with the most superb business skills from all your merchants to serve as the president, what does Boss Zhang think? ”

Boss Zhang didn't expect things to go so smoothly, he suddenly smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, raised the wine glass and poured it into it, for fear that he would regret it, and agreed again and again.

"It's easy to say, since Lord Chen is so refreshing, then the matter of preparing the materials will be handed over to the grass people, and I will ensure that all the things will be delivered to the door of the yamen early tomorrow morning for the adults to count."

The two of them pushed the cup and changed the lamp with their own thoughts, Jiang Fu looked at Chen Jian'an's expression, and always felt that he seemed to be holding back the bad, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Boss Zhang only felt that this small county was weird, and he sent all the materials he wanted to the door of the yamen early the next morning.

Outside the door, it was piled up like a hill, and there were old cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton shoes, all kinds of grain and rice, charcoal fires, and building materials for building embankments, all of which were ready in the morning, just waiting to be used as bargaining chips.

More than 20 truckloads of things were moved by the county for a full morning before they were all transported out of the city.

"Do you really want to hand over the business to the Zhang family? I'm afraid that the emperor will know that he will be angry and blamed. ”

In the morning, Chen Jian'an didn't even have time for breakfast, so he was in a hurry to go out to supervise the construction of the embankment, Jiang Fu asked while helping him button up his official uniform.

Chen Jian'an chuckled, reached out and took the cloak, put it in the crook of his arm, and pinched Jiang Fu's hand next to his neck.

"I promised them to set up a chamber of commerce, and I also promised to delegate power to the president of the chamber of commerce, but who said that the president of the chamber of commerce would definitely be the Zhang family?"

Jiang Fu tilted his head, this guy turned out to use a language trap to ask Boss Zhang to work for him for nothing.

"But you also said that you would choose the person with the best business skills to be elected president, I'm afraid that no one in this Lin Yang can be stronger than Boss Zhang, right?"

It's not that he's so good at business, it's just that there is a concubine's mother's house standing behind him, who doesn't want to go back and compete with him?

"Lingnan is not necessarily nowhere else, I have sent someone to inform Boss Du last night, presumably he is on his way at this time.

He was already optimistic about Lin Yang's fur business before, but the merchants here were very xenophobic, so he couldn't get involved, as long as he became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, were he afraid that there would be no business that could be done? ”

Jiang Fu suddenly realized, and looked at him with a smile, he had to convince people with virtue yesterday, and in a blink of an eye, this was not calculated.

Chen Jian'an was not very comfortable with her, and coughed lightly.

"Extraordinary times are very means, you are right, it is useless to reason with some people, after all, not everyone can understand people's words.

Now that there are supplies and the embankment is repaired, you can use the imperial court's disaster relief funds to rebuild the houses. ”

Jiang Fu nodded, picked up an egg from the table and stuffed it into Chen Jian'an's clothes.

"Stay safe."

Chen Jian'an nodded, turned around and went out.

Jiang Fu drank two mouthfuls of porridge in a hurry, and then rushed outside the city to supervise the distribution of supplies.

It's not that Chen Jian'an really has no one available in his hands, so Jiang Fu has to go into battle in person.

But since that day, Jiang Fu whipped the troublesome man half to death in front of the refugees, every time she appeared, the refugees would speak much quieter, not to mention that someone dared to make trouble, and they trembled when they saw the whip on her waist.

Zhang Heng saw that the county Cheng was leading people to deliver supplies outside the city one by one, and the refugees were grateful to the new county order, and he was so angry that his nose was crooked.

"Young Master, what should we do next? If it is calmed down like this, wouldn't it be a gift to him? ”

Master Zhang was so anxious that he was already a bright traitor in front of Chen Jian'an, and when he finished this stubble and freed his hands, he would definitely be the first to clean himself up.

A trace of cruelty flashed in Zhang Heng's eyes, and he whispered a few words to the little guy next to him, and then showed a sad smile.

"Let him be proud for two days, and once the business road falls into our hands, it will be his death!"

The embankment was not repaired smoothly, and the main gate was in disrepair, although this time it was blown up, but even without this explosion, it would not last long to see how it was corroded.

"This is seeing that it has not been strengthened for many years, but Lin Yang has asked the imperial court for construction appropriations every year, how many officials have been fattened back and forth with this money, and the partial disaster has come, but the people have suffered in front!"

Chen Jian'an watched as the craftsman dug out the rotten wooden stakes in the embankment and replaced them with new ones, gritting his teeth.

"My lord, this foundation is broken, do you think you want to replace it all with new ones, or do you want to block the gate first?"

The craftsman asked as he looked at the suffocating material behind him.

In fact, what he is most afraid of is that the officials are reluctant to spend money, and use this little material to force them to fool them, and if they are washed away again one day, they will naturally be the first to be pushed out as knives.

Chen Jian'an naturally knew that these materials were not enough, and he was not embarrassed by the people below.

"If everything is replaced with a new one, it will collapse again in two or three years, and won't the people who have just rebuilt their homes suffer again?

You use these materials first, and when the appropriation from the imperial court comes down, the official will order someone to complete the remaining materials. ”

The leader of the craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard him say this, and then his heart was filled with indescribable emotion.

They are from the nearby village, and this embankment is like a knife hanging over their heads, not knowing when it will fall, and every year in the rainy season, everyone sleeps at night with one eye open, for fear of flooding and not being able to escape.

Seeing that this new county order is to sincerely put the people in the bottom of his heart, anxious about what the people are anxious about, and worried about what the people are worried about, he called God in his heart to let them meet such a big man.

I only hope that this young little county magistrate can stay here for a few more years, and the people of Lin Yang can follow him to enjoy a few more years of happiness.

The embankment employs a lot of young and strong refugees, and the repair speed is very fast, but the imperial court's appropriation has not arrived.

"We brought a lot of gold and silver, and it is important to build the gate, so we should take it to the emergency first."

Jiang Fu saw that Chen Jian'an was anxiously waiting for the appropriation every day, so he simply took out a stack of silver tickets and handed it to him, he was so wealthy.

This is all her dowry, Chen Jian'an is unwilling to take it, but for the sake of the people outside the city who are still freezing and starving in the cold wind, he still took it.

"I thank you for the people of Lin Yang, and I will return this money to you as soon as the appropriation from the imperial court arrives."

Jiang Fu glared at him with disgust.

"You and I, husband and wife, say thank you."

Chen Jian'an pulled her into his arms and touched her hair.

"Follow me, I've made you suffer."

Jiang Fu leaned on his arms, his eyes rolled, and he didn't say anything about whether he was bitter or not, he couldn't make a loss-making deal.

This goods just took his own silver ticket of more than 100,000 taels, and he always has to collect some interest back.

She raised her hand to wrap her arms around Chen Jian'an's waist, and said in a sullen tone in his arms:

"Today I received a letter from my father, who scolded me in his heart for being a waste and said that I had disgraced him.

Woo woo woo, it's me who is sorry for my father, let him be angry with us in the capital, I am too unfilial. ”

Chen Jian'an heard her choked voice and patted her back distressedly.

"It's not like this, you've done a good job, it's your father-in-law who is too strict, don't take it to heart."

Jiang Fu secretly raised his eyes, saw Chen Jian'an's tight jaw, and snickered in his heart, this wave of hatred is stable!

Chen Jian'an didn't know the little Jiujiu in his daughter-in-law's heart, he only knew that she had been running around with her day and night these days, which was hard enough.

It's really annoying that the ignorant old man is still adding to the mess!

This time, he was very generous to give 15 points to his father-in-law.

The construction of the embankment was intervened by the kryptonite players, and the construction speed was quickly increased, and on the day of completion, Chen Jian'an specially invited Jiang Fu to go with him to cut the ribbon of the new embankment.

"It's okay now, I'm not afraid of big water in the future!"

"The materials used in this gate are all good, and I think it will be fine for hundreds of years!"

The surrounding craftsmen and the villagers who watched the excitement were all rejoicing, just waiting for the old man to repair the embankment and rebuild their houses for them, and this life was hopeful.

But just as Jiang Fu cut down the scissors, a small soldier defending the city ran here in a hurry, shouting in his mouth:

"No, no, my lord! The epidemic has been found in the refugee shed outside the city, and two dead people have been found, and countless infected people have also fallen ill, so go back and take a look. ”

The scissors in Jiang Fu's hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and she and Chen Jian'an glanced at each other, both of them knew that the epidemic was strange at this time.

On the refugee shed, she had people patrol and clean it every day, how could it be that the two of them died before they were discovered?

And it's winter, it makes sense to have a cold wind on such a cold day, the epidemic?

I'm afraid you're not kidding me!
