Chapter 182: Let me be the mountain chief!
"Someone wants to see me?"
When Su Hengyu heard Ziyun's report, he felt quite strange in his heart.
She didn't know anyone at the border pass, and even Xie Jing took the initiative to come over because of General Xie's relationship.
The rest of the people in Nanyi City, because of her status as a county magistrate, did not dare to come to her at will.
So when he heard that someone came to look for him so early in the morning, Su Hengyu couldn't help but feel a little strange.
She looked at the sky outside, and had planned to give questions to those who would come to take the second assessment tomorrow. And for the few people she valued more before, she wanted to give each other some special exam questions separately, so as to better understand the thoughts of these people.
But it's still early now, and it should be in time to wait until after meeting the man.
Thinking of this, Su Hengyu said, "Yes, you can welcome him to a special reception room." Oh, by the way, did that man tell you who he is, and what is he looking for me for? ”
Ziyun said: "That person didn't say in detail, he only said that he was from out of town and had something very important to see you. The man told me his name, and he seemed to be ...... Yu Qiong! ”
Hearing this name, Su Hengyu was stunned for a moment, and then sat up suddenly: "You just said, what is that person's name?" ”
"He told me himself that his name is Yu Qiong, and he also said that he came from Jiangnan and sincerely wanted to visit you." Ziyun looked at Su Hengyu's serious and serious appearance, and he couldn't help but get nervous.
Su Hengyu asked her: "What does that person look like, you can tell me carefully." ”
Ziyun made a reminiscence: "It was an old man with gray hair, and he was accompanied by several young people, who were said to be his disciples. I saw that they were dressed ordinarily, not like some noble family, but their temperament was very good, and they should have read a lot of books. ”
Hearing these descriptions, Su Hengyu was already sure of the other party's identity in his heart.
However, she didn't care too much, just followed the previous instructions, let Ziyun welcome people in, and then brought the good tea she brought from the capital to Ziyun, and asked her to use these good things to entertain guests.
"I remember that a few disciples trained by Ru Jun also came with us, you ask them to make some tofu soup and bring it to the old gentleman later." Su Hengyu continued to command.
Hearing this, Ziyun couldn't find out where these guests were special today.
She didn't ask much, but just followed Su Hengyu's instructions. Since Miss didn't tell her about this person, she thought that Miss already had a plan in mind, so she didn't need to ask more.
Su Hengyu quickly packed herself up, and after confirming that she was dressed correctly, she went to a room she had specially booked for a reception room.
At this moment, there were already a lot of people sitting in the room, not only Old Man Yu Qiong and his disciples, but even Xie Jing, who originally planned to leave today, stayed in the room, and seemed to be helping Su Hengyu accompany the guests.
As soon as Su Hengyu entered the door, the eyes of everyone in the room looked at her.
Seeing this, Xie Jing took the initiative to introduce to both parties: "Oh, you're finally here, we've been waiting for you for a while." Let me introduce you to you, this is the old man Yuqiong, who I have told you many times and has taught countless talents. Grandpa Yu, this is Su Hengyu, the magistrate of Nanyi City, whom I mentioned to you. ”
"When you went to the city first, you should have seen a lot of people working in front of the county office, right? Their work was all brought by Su Hengyu, and she also gave these people a salary of twenty-five wen a day! ”
Twenty-five yuan a day, this salary is really a lot in Nanyi City, even Yu Qiong, who has been wealthy since childhood, couldn't help but be shocked when she heard this salary.
After all, there are a lot of people who come to work, and it is naturally nothing for one or two to make such a price, but so many lifu have been working here for so many hours, and they have given so much salary every day, so you can imagine how much money Su Hengyu has paid for this.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiong once again felt sorry for not figuring out the truth yesterday, so she casually speculated about Su Hengyu's thoughts.
Under the guidance of Xie Jing, an acquaintance, Su Hengyu and Yu Qiong finally got to know each other.
Yu Qiong came today to see what kind of person Su Hengyu was, but he didn't expect that the first thing he saw was his daughter.
After understanding Yu Qiong's intentions, Xie Jing unceremoniously told Yu Qiong and others what she knew about Su Hengyu, and of course she mentioned it to everyone about the sand table made by the other party.
Yu Qiong and the others originally had a good impression of her because of the maintenance of Su Hengyu by the people in the city, and when the other party even made a sand table and helped the border soldiers without asking for anything in return, their attitude towards her also became closer.
Faced with Yu Qiong's kind attitude, Su Hengyu was also a little surprised, she thought that a great Confucian like Yu Qiong should be very temperamental.
In addition, Xie Jing also told her before that Yu Qiong is a very selfish person, if she didn't get along with Cui, she wouldn't have resigned and gone home in a fit of anger.
But now it seems that Mr. Yu Qiong is clearly a gentle and talented person, and she doesn't see anything bad about the other party at all.
Thinking like this, Su Hengyu's expression became more and more sincere when she faced Yu Qiong, and many questions that had plagued her for a long time were spit out by her, just to get the other party's advice today.
She told her future plans for Nanyicheng and Mr. Yu Qiong, and she did not forget to mention the second election assessment that will be held tomorrow, and also showed the test papers of several people who participated in the assessment to Mr. Yu Qiong.
"These people's literary talents are naturally not as good as Mr.'s disciples, but you have also seen the situation here in Nanyi City, it is already very good for me that they can learn like this in such a harsh environment." Su Hengyu looked at the dissatisfied expressions on the faces of several people and said.
Mr. Yu Qiong read all the test papers, and finally sighed: "You are right, in the absence of a academy, not even a private school, it is not easy for them to learn like this. It's just that this kind of ability, being an official of a county, is still a bit insufficient. ”
"This is what the juniors want to ask of you, and the juniors want to ask your disciples to stay and be my staff, and help me teach these people to be suitable officials. They are all local people of Nanyicheng, they know more about Nanyicheng, and as officials in the future, they will definitely work harder to change this land. ”
"In the future, I will also open a academy here, if your disciple is willing to stay and be the mountain chief and master, it will be even better."
Mr. Yu Qiong shook his head when he heard this: "Why bother asking them, this mountain chief and master, why don't you do it by me!" ”
