Chapter 281: Bringing You to the Army
"This is natural! Mrs. County, you have a life-saving grace for the little dog, and it is too late for us to try to repay you, so how can we join the thieves and frame you?" said Master Wan with a solemn oath.
Mu Jiaojiao smiled lightly: "That's the best." ”
After this incident, Cui Pu and his party stayed here for another night, and after enjoying a hearty meal of seafood, they turned around and returned to Hailing County the next day.
This time there was no stop along the way, and it only took them three days to arrive.
However, the sum of the previous and the latter is still two days more than the three days stipulated by Wu Lixin at the beginning. Governor Zhou's promise to Wu Lixin was not done, and he was scolded by Wu Lixin again, and he was extremely annoyed in his heart.
And when Cui Pu and Mu Jiaojiao returned to Hailing County, Zhou Zhifu had already selected a house for the king of Hejian County, and the place was in Hailing County, but it was far away from the county government, and it was a good place to rely on a small river and laugh and flowers.
In the words of Zhou Zhifu: "The reason why the king of the county got this disease is because of his poor mood, and he naturally needs to find a beautiful place to recuperate in Yangzhou this time." In this way, as long as you look at the flowers and plants outside every day, your mood can be much better. And this place is not far from the county office, it is only a time to take a stick of incense in the car, if you are fast, the time can be shortened by half, the lower official thinks it is just right, what does the county king think?"
"Governor Zhou thinks it's good, that's naturally good. This king lives there!" the king of Hejian nodded with a smile.
Governor Zhou was very happy: "Then the lower official will order someone to help the county king move today! That place has already been cleaned up, everything is complete, you just need someone to go over." ”
"Okay!" The king of Hejian County was unconditionally obedient as always, and immediately obediently followed Governor Zhou's mansion.
Sending this Zhenshan Tai Sui away, when Governor Zhou came back, the momentum of his body was much stronger.
"Cui Zhixian, you have disappointed this mansion too much! This mansion handed over the county king to you to take care of on the front foot, but you didn't expect you to throw the county king off and go out to indulge in enjoyment on the back foot, you can have this mansion in your eyes, you can have the county king, and you can have today's saints? If the county king is a good person under your rule, what crime should you be guilty of!"
Not again.
"Governor, are you too worried? The county king is such a big person, and there are so many people around him, how can something happen? Moreover, as the parent official of Hailing County, Xia Guan naturally wants to walk around more when he first comes here, so as to understand the whole picture of the county in his own position. This is a plan that has been made at the beginning of the re-entry of the lower officials, and the lower officials of Zaichang County have also done this before, you should know. Cui Pu responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
After a pause, he continued: "What's more, the lower officials are not subordinate officials of the palace, so there is no need to revolve around the county king all day long." Moreover, when the county king arrived in Yangzhou City, the lower officials did not see you circling around the county king all day long! That night, didn't the county king also come to seek medical treatment by himself?"
If it weren't for the fact that the letter would be recovered, wouldn't he have personally sent the King of Hejian County?
The safety of the king of Hejian is indeed important, but his career is the most important thing. Therefore, after weighing the two phases, he still chose the thing that was most beneficial to himself.
To put it bluntly, he just got the soft and talkative temperament of the king of Hejian County, and knew that he would definitely not be angry, so he put people down with peace of mind. And when he was done with his own affairs, he came over slowly, pretending to accompany the king of Hejian to admit his mistake, and the king of Hejian would inevitably forgive him. In this way, the matter is revealed.
Best of both worlds!
However, now that this matter has been arrested by Cui Pu as a handle to attack him, Zhou Zhifu is still weak in his heart. hurriedly sank his face: "That's because it's too late, and the mansion has important arrangements for the next day, so I really can't get out." Later, didn't the government also quickly finish the important matter at hand and rush to make amends to the king of the county as soon as possible?"
"Then the arrangements that have been made by the officials a long time ago can't be abolished, isn't the livelihood of the people of Hailing County as important as the safety of the king of Hejian County?" Cui Pu immediately retorted.
How did he respond?
Governor Zhou secretly scolded Cui Pu for being cunning in his heart, and his mouth was too sharp like a knife, and he cheekily changed the topic: "For the sake of the county king's safety, this government will not pursue this matter much." There is one more thing at the moment, you must give an explanation to this government!"
"Governor Zhou, do you want to talk about the road construction in Tianchang County?" Cui Pu immediately said.
"So you also know, this mansion still doesn't know anything about you!" Zhou Zhifu sneered.
Cui Pu also smiled. "Xia Guan does know. But that is the matter of Tianchang County, and Xia Guan is now a person from Hailing County, even if he knows it, it is not good to interfere again, so he can only pay attention silently on the sidelines. After all, that is also the place where Xia Guan has sweated for three years, and Xia Guan has always been looking forward to it getting better and better. ”
Shameless!
Zhou Zhifu scolded in his heart. In the past, in Chang'an, others always scolded him for flattering Shangguan Tian and being shameless, but now it seems that this kid in front of him is clearly more shameless than him. At a young age, this shamelessness is already about to catch up with him!
"Since Cui Zhixian is looking forward to Tianchang County getting better and better, why did you stop the supply of funds for road construction in Tianchang County?"
"Governor Zhou, are you joking? Tianchang County repaired roads, so naturally Tianchang County should pay for it itself, right? When the lower officials were there to make county orders, the money for road repairs was all collected from the county treasury and the money from selling sweet potatoes every month, that is, it was taken from the people for the people. But now that the lower officials are no longer from Tianchang County, and the restaurant we opened with our brother-in-law has also closed down, you still let us take money to repair the road? Aren't you blatant to rob the rich and help the poor? Presumably, even if the people of Tianchang County knew, they would definitely not agree, right?" Cui Pu said in a serious way.
You're fart! Your restaurant has only been closed for a few days? In the past six months, you have rolled up a lot of money, and all that money has flowed into the pockets of your brothers-in-law!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhifu hated Cui Pu even more deeply in his heart.
He just asked someone to find something for Wei Ji Restaurant, just a little warning, let them be interesting and hand over the money quickly, so that everyone would not be able to tear their faces and be a bad person. In the end, they turned out to be fine, and they actually closed all the doors of the restaurant! They also posted a notice at the door of the restaurant, saying that they were at the request of the government to close the door for rectification, and then open the door after the rectification was completed!
This is to throw the pot to the government. A large number of tourists who rushed to taste the 'sweet potato in Tianchang County' saw the notice and were furious, and took turns to go to the county government of Tianchang County to ask for an explanation. Wu Lixin had been idle for several months before, but now he was bombarded by the Lizheng Lixu and tourists who came to ask for money, and everyone was going crazy!
Li Zheng Li Xu said that after all, these people are all from Tianchang County, and they are still waiting to ask for money from him, so they dare not be presumptuous.
But it's a different story for tourists. These people are here to send money to Tianchang County, and the main financial income of Tianchang County in the past two years depends on them, that is, the God of Wealth of Tianchang County! Even the county magistrate has to be careful to provide for it.
But now, the God of Wealth is angry together, and finally directly gave him an ultimatum - to explain what is wrong with Bai Wei's Restaurant and need to be rectified, and then give a time for opening, they don't want to wait there stupidly!
Wu Lixin was so angry that he couldn't eat for several days.
He didn't dare to send it to the God of Wealth, so he could only write a letter to scold the Zhou Governor. Governor Zhou was also on fire in his belly, he didn't expect Cui Pu to be so shameless! He didn't expect that since Wei Zhuang and Cui Pu got together, he also calmly embarked on the road of shamelessness and skinlessness.
It's obviously a trivial matter, but it has become a big thing that they have proclaimed!
Moreover, after a few days of fermentation, some people have already started conspiracy theories -- this matter must be led by the new county magistrate of Tianchang County! He has always been at odds with the previous county magistrate, and when he was the magistrate of Hailing County, he had already secretly given the previous county magistrate a lot of stumbling blocks. Now that people have arrived in Tianchang County, how can they watch the restaurant of the previous county master make a lot of money here?
What's more, the profit of this restaurant is really terrifying, and they are all red when they look at it, not to mention the current county master who has a grudge against the former county master? Therefore, now the restaurant is said to be closed, but I am afraid that when the door is opened again, the owner behind it will change hands!
Ahh
Although the restaurant made money, did they do such a thing for the sake of this money? Although Wu Lixin really wanted to do this.
But after returning to Chang'an a year ago, the whole Wu family and even Concubine Wu Hui had already taught him a lesson, telling him to focus on the overall situation and not cause trouble again. So now, they just want the surnamed Cui to take the initiative to take the initiative to take out most of the proceeds to continue to build roads for Tianchang County!
It's just that in the current situation, it's hard to want them to take the money!
"After all, this matter is advocated by Cui Zhixian, and you have already done half of it. Now that you have left a mess, aren't you going to take care of it? Aren't you afraid that the people of Tianchang County will resent you and hate you because of this?" Zhou Zhifu asked coldly.
"Xiaguan thought that Xiaguan had already made a detailed plan before leaving, as long as Wuzhi County followed the plan made by Xiaguan, in another year or two, this matter would definitely be successfully completed, and there was no such thing as a mess. Cui Pu still has such a serious expression.
Now it's not a question of planning or not, it's money, money!
He asked him for money, but this person talked about him left and right, which is really hateful!
After talking for a long time, Governor Zhou was also tired, so he asked directly: "Let's put it this way, now this government and Wuzhi County are bent on making Tianchang County go to the next level." However, it costs a lot of money to build roads in all the towns and villages below, and Wuzhi County will not be able to take it out for a while. ”
"Hey, don't you have a way to do it, Governor Zhou? I remember that the treasury of Yangzhou has always been very full!" Cui Pu said.
If the treasury is full, it is the matter of the treasury, where can he do the matter of embezzling the treasury to build roads for Tianchang County? If the county magistrates in other places know about it, and they also come to demand equal treatment, then what should he do? No matter how full the treasury is, it will not be enough to repair the entire Yangzhou city in all directions!
"Cui Zhixian, you just give the government a word of truth, what do you want to continue to pay?"
Just get straight to the point and say no early? You have to play word games, he's not tired, he's going to die!
Cui Pu smiled lightly: "The requirements of the lower officials are not high. Since we continue to pay for the construction of this road, then you must also give us a little benefit, after all, now that none of us are in Tianchang County, continue to contribute so much, let others know that we are stupid and burn more money!"
You are stupid people and have a lot of money! Zhou Zhifu continued to curse in his heart. But it was easy for him to relax a little, and he still patiently asked, "Say, what do you want?"
"Actually, our request is also very simple. We built this road, and the road is also going to be named, so why don't you let me and my brother-in-law name these roads!"
