Xia Hongsheng talked to Li Shimin for a while, and then retired and left. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

took Yang Siqi out of the palace, went straight to the military machine workshop, handed Yang Siqi to the people of the military machine workshop, registered him, arranged a place to live, assigned him to the instrument technology institute, issued identity plates, and introduced them to other masters of the instrument technology institute.

Even so, Xia Hongsheng still went to the editorial office of the newspaper.

After explaining that there were some conspicuous places on the editorial department's layout the day after that, he wanted to serialize some articles, and asked several writers in the editorial department to write some articles that reflected Lizheng and the affairs of the county government, and formulated a big theme, that is, to pay attention to the underlying institutions and let them write articles around this big theme.

After all the arrangements stopped, it was time for Xia Hongsheng to write what he was going to serialize.

When I came out of the editorial office of the newspaper, it was already the top of the moon outside.

Back in Chang'an's mansion, he put a coal fire in the stove in the study, then spread out the paper and took up a pen to meditate.

Straightened out his thoughts in his mind, raised the pen to write, and found that the charcoal pen had not been sharpened, so he subconsciously shouted: "Yuexian ......"

As soon as he shouted out, he was shocked to realize that Yuexian was in Jingyang.

Not only dumbfounded.

He took out a knife from the table, rolled the charcoal with paper, sharpened the head of the charcoal pen, and then began to write.

I wrote until midnight, and when I finally finished writing, I simply rested in the study for the night.

In the early morning of the next day, he handed over what he had written last night to the editorial department of the newspaper, and then returned to Jingyang with Qi Yong.

When I arrived in Jingyang, I went straight to the county office, and as soon as I entered the county office, I saw Liu Tai standing outside.

"Huh? Why is the old gentleman standing outside? It's such a cold day, why not go inside? Xia Hongsheng said as he got out of the carriage.

Liu Tai greeted him and said with a smile: "Old man, please meet the county commander!" The old decay has just arrived here. ”

This Liu Tai is a member of Liu Hongji's family, and he is the most powerful and powerful clan in the territory of Jingyang. At the beginning, Xia Hongsheng summoned the wealthy merchants and squires in Jingyang County to donate to build a school, and the businessmen all wanted to leave a good reputation and be respected, so they all donated a lot of money, compared to this, these squires donated a lot less.

Today, when he is here, I am afraid that he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

At that moment, Xia Hongsheng smiled at him and said, "Hahahaha, old gentleman, please come into the yamen!" When the county was in Chang'an, the same Kui Guo Gong was known as his uncle and nephew, and the Gongzi Renshi brother Tai in the Kui Guo Mansion was also a close friend and treated each other as brothers. And the old gentleman is highly respected in Jingyang, if he comes to the county government in the future, he can go in directly. ”

"Where, where!" Liu Tai saluted and said: "The old man only came here because his family had some chores here, where do you dare to claim to be highly respected?" To tell you the truth, the old man came here today on behalf of his family and wanted to discuss some things with the county commander! ”

"Discuss?" Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Okay, let's go in!" ”

Liu Tai nodded: "Lord County Order, please!" Hehe, the old man dares to guarantee that it is definitely a good thing. It is a good thing for adults, for the county government, and for the people. ”

"Hahahaha, that county is curious." Xia Hongsheng smiled: "Old man, please." ”

The two entered the back office, and after Xia Hongsheng asked him to sit down, he asked someone to bring tea over.

"But I don't know what the old gentleman has to discuss?" After Xia Hongsheng sat down, he asked with a smile.

Liu Tai replied: "The county magistrate also knows that the Liu family's home in Chiyang, the old man, was sent to Jingyang because of family affairs. Previously, in the government affairs column outside the county office, the old man saw that the county commander was preparing to build several cement roads in Jingyang, which would benefit the people of Jingyang and Jingyang. Look at the above said that Jingyang will build the road from the county seat to the villages, and outward, it will build the road from Jingyang to other counties. A few days ago, the old man returned to his home to report his affairs, and his grandfather sent Dongying Dao far away, and the family is now managed by his grandfather's brother. When talking about this matter when the old man was chatting, the family steward was grateful to the county order for the heart of the people and the righteousness of the people, so he wished to build a road to benefit the people, and built a cement road from Chiyang Zhuangzi, which was connected with the road from Jingyang to Chiyang. The old man was sent to ask the county commander what he meant. ”

Hearing him say this, Xia Hongsheng understood. It turned out that they learned that they were going to build a road in Jingyang, and at the same time they had to build a road to the junction, so they wanted to build a cement road themselves, from Chiyang, and connect with the road from Jingyang.

I understand the thing, but I don't understand the reason.

Liu Hongji is not at home at the moment, why does his brother want to build a cement road by himself to connect with the cement road in Jingyang? Building a concrete road is no small task. Moreover, the distance between Chiyang and the cement road is not as good as that of Jingyang. His Liu family's contribution is not a small amount.

As for what Liu Tai said, it was because he was moved to see Xia Hongsheng build roads for the benefit of the people, so he also wanted to build roads for the benefit of the people. This kind of on the scene, Xia Hongsheng will believe it.

"Mr. Liu, it is precisely because this county has always been good friends with Kui Guogong, and he has a very good relationship with his brother Tai. Therefore, the county has to ask a question. Xia Hongsheng thought for a while and said to Liu Tai: "The person in charge of your family, why do you want to build this road?" ”

"Hahaha, you know such a reason, how can you hide it from the county commander?" Liu Tai smiled: "This idea was actually from my son-in-law." The prefectural magistrate didn't know. The land of Chiyang is not as good as Jingyang. There is no coal to dig and no limestone to use. Only the yellow mud under the feet is a treasure. The bricks and tiles burned with the loess of Chiyang are not only strong, but also suck firmly. Better than the rest of the world. My son-in-law said, the county magistrate, you have come to Jingyang to be the county magistrate, and Jingyang will definitely change its appearance. You're sure you're going to build a lot of things in Jingyang. And the various buildings designed by the Lord of the Guanxian Order, many like bricks and stones. In the future, if you build in Jingyang, the people of Jingyang will also compete to imitate it. The bricks burned in Chiyang are the best, and they must be marketable in Jingyang. Moreover, from Chiyang to Chang'an, if you use the cement road together with Jingyang, and borrow the cement straight road of Jingyang, it only takes two hours to arrive quickly, and the convoy can also arrive in one day by pulling the masonry. And if you take the original road, you are afraid that you will not be able to reach Chang'an in three or five days. ”

Listening to Liu Tai's words, Xia Hongsheng suddenly became stunned. What the hell is benefiting the people, this is clearly building a business road for himself!

This Liu Renshi's eyes are really lively, and he is expected to be in the big construction, and he is also expected to change the habits of Jingyang people to build houses, and he also happens to take advantage of Jingyang to build roads, and also to build a section in Chiyang, so as to expand the market for his own brick kiln. If this road is completed, then whether it is Xia Hongsheng himself or others in Jingyang, once he wants to use bricks and stones, it will definitely be his brick kiln. Not for anything else, just for the middle road to be good, and the delivery is fast. Moreover, if this road connects Jingyang, it is equivalent to connecting Chang'an, and his family's masonry can expand directly from Chiyang to Chang'an.

"I see!" Xia Hongsheng laughed and said, "Okay, go back and tell Brother Renshi, this matter is settled." Another day, the county will go to him to play, and then talk in detail! (To be continued.) )
