Chapter 175: Invitation
On the twenty-ninth day of July, Renxu Day, it is advisable to move into the house.
Today is the day when Zhao Erye ends his two-month life in Nanshan Temple and moves back to the county office.
Early in the morning, the district chiefs who participated in the Wusong River Water Conservancy Project all gathered in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and under the leadership of Zhao Erye, they respectfully kowtowed to the Buddha.
Thanks to the blessing of the Buddha, Kunshan County has completed the first phase of the project safely and smoothly.
Having said that, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of the Buddha at the beginning, the gentry of Kunshan County probably wouldn't have cooperated with Zhao Erye so much in fighting the flood.
After thanking the Buddha for his previous blessing, Zhao Shouzheng asked the Buddha to continue to bless and let the second and third phases of the county's projects be completed smoothly.
He also promised that as long as the project was successfully completed, the county would expand the Nanshan Temple and reshape the golden body of the Buddha.
After getting up, Zhao Erye made a passionate speech to the gentry in front of the statue of the Buddha, and announced that he had asked for credit to the palace for them.
The miscellaneous officials below He Wenwei naturally rejoiced. For sesame mung bean officials like them, with such a strong stroke in their resumes, the promotion must be a certainty, and it is normal to even be promoted to the third level.
The gentry were also very happy, although they had no official promotion, but they got the table of the imperial court, they could be admitted to school, they could be exempted from military service and tax exemption, and even get the crown of righteous officials, and they received both fame and fortune.
In fact, after the construction of the river embankment, their land can also be cultivated twice a year like the neighboring counties, and the biggest benefit is this group of gentry.
Then Zhao Shouzheng sent them back to the county first, and he had to move here, and there were many people who added to the chaos.
On the boat back to the city, the gentry and officials were still excited. Some people proposed to simply expand the Nanshan Temple and build a Zhao Gong Temple to commemorate the great contribution made by Zhao Erye to Kunshan County.
This proposal was immediately unanimously responded to by the miscellaneous officials and gentry, all saying that with the great master's rebuilding of Kunshan County, let alone one ancestral hall, even ten can bear it.
Gu Dadong said on the spot that he was willing to donate 5,000 taels to help repair Nanshan Temple and build Zhao Gong Ancestral Hall. Zheng Ruozeng and other gentry also donated generously, and after a while, they pledged 50,000 taels of silver, which was enough to repair Nanshan Temple and Zhao Gong Temple to be splendid.
~~
In the west side hall, Jiang Xueying is reporting to Zhao Hao the budget for the second phase of the project.
Zhao Gongzi finally changed into a normal dress today, not wearing his red coat or straw hat.
It's not that he suddenly doesn't love 'One Piece', but Qiaoqiao and Secretary Ma can't stand it anymore...... There are not many people in the county government who laugh at the two of them for being young and ignorant, and they are dressed beautifully, but they make them dress like melon sellers.
He Xiancheng's wife was still enthusiastic, and wanted to help the county lord invite a few old and serious maids to take care of the housework, so as to save the two of them from asking for food all day long.
The two girls are going to die of grievances, the eldest master lives in Nanshan Temple all day long, surrounded by so many people, how can they worry about it?
As for Zhao Hao, it is even more annoying. All year round, he made thin, thick, leather, cotton, silk, embroidery, and printed clothes, and I don't know how many times he did.
Every morning, Secretary Ma carefully selected, ironed him and placed it at the head of the bed, but he just didn't wear it, so what could he do?
In desperation, the two had no choice but to hide his straw hat and shorts, and let Zhao Hao either go out wearing only a calf's nose or wearing their clothes......
Therefore, Zhao Hao could only put on a white gauze mid-single and light gauze robe again, tied a blue silk silk, paired it with Pisces medicinal jade, stepped on the silk cloud shoes, and restored the dress of the son.
The secretary of the horse and the girl Qiaoqiao were moved to tears, and the son finally looked like a person again.
But this man is used to the pants and undershirts after the summer, and if you let him put on a long coat and trousers, he will feel extremely stuffy.
Zhao Gongzi sat in the west side hall, eating Qiaoqiao's ice cream, and Secretary Ma also fanned him, but he still felt slimy and very unhappy.
Jiang Xueying finished reporting the budget for various engineering materials, and when she looked up and saw that he was so hot that she stuck out her tongue, she picked up the Su embroidery fan and also fanned him and said:
"My brother is really afraid of the heat."
"I'm still afraid of the cold." Zhao Hao smiled helplessly, obviously he was the body of an ancient man, why did he miss air conditioning and heating so much?
The heating is okay, but as for the air conditioning, I am afraid that it will not be blessed in this life.
But I can let Zhang Jian make a manpower fan out! Zhao Hao suddenly had a flash of thought, and hurriedly asked Secretary Ma to write it down so as not to forget it.
The girl continued. The two girls fanned him together, and Zhao Gongzi finally felt much cooler.
“…… This year's summer grain harvest was bumper, and the first boat of Huguang's grain also went down the river and arrived in Suzhou. The grain shortage in the market has been relieved, and grain prices have suddenly dropped below one tael. ”
Jiang Xueying's voice is cold and pleasant, making people's ears feel like eating ice cream, and it feels very refreshing.
She told Zhao Hao that the fall in grain prices has led to a decline in all prices. For the same amount of money, you can buy more supplies.
Ms. Jiang calculated that maintaining the supply level during the first phase of the project would reduce the daily cost by nearly one-third.
As a result, with the salary budget paid to the people, the overall cost of the population increased by only a quarter.
Cheering Zhao Hao is like picking up a big wallet. I feel that I have asked Jiang Xueying to be the president, which is really correct.
Miss Jiang thought that this was something that Zhao Hao expected, and couldn't help but admire and admire, my brother was really a last resort.
The two habitually blew each other's business, and Secretary Ma on the side couldn't help muttering secretly.
The heart said that these two are getting more and more tacit now, and it seems that the son is becoming more and more inseparable from Miss Jiang.
I'll have to give the county lord a heads-up, or she'll be out of reach.
~~
Today is not only the county master's nest, but also the Kunshan office of Jiangnan Company moving out of Nanshan Temple.
As for Kun Kaisi, he had already followed Pan Jitao yesterday and moved to Wrestling Village on the edge of Poyang Lake in advance to prepare for the second phase of the project.
Zhao Hao came out after talking to Jiang Xueying, and saw Liu Zhengqi waiting outside the West Side Palace.
"Liu Yuanwai hasn't left yet?" Zhao Gongzi smiled and asked, "Why are you still not at ease?" ”
"How so?" Liu Zhengqi hunched his waist and smiled and followed Zhao Hao out of Nanshan Temple. "Childe has already subdued Xu Jiezhi, and now in Susong and Song, who would dare to touch Childe's tiger whiskers?"
"I haven't grown a beard yet." Zhao Hao touched his bare chin and said with a smile: "Then what are your concerns?" ”
"First, I want to say goodbye to my son in person, and thank my son for taking care of me." Liu Zhengqi smiled tentatively: "Second...... On behalf of our president, I would like to sincerely invite Childe to join the Dongting Business Gang. ”
"Me?" Zhao Hao pointed to himself and said with a smile: "I'm not from Suzhou. ”
"Childe, you can't say that, the entire Dongting West Mountain is yours." Liu Zhengqi smiled bitterly: "If you don't join, our Dongting Merchant Gang will not be worthy of the name." ”
"There's also Dongting Dongshan." Zhao Hao smiled noncommittally.
"Our President Weng said that as long as Gongzi joins us, we will ask you to serve as the vice president of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce." Liu Zhengqi said, and lowered his voice again:
"At the end of the year, President Weng will retire, and when the time comes, we will raise you to the position of president together."
ps. The first update, the writing wheel eye is not good yet, and today it can only be changed three times.
