"Smack", and another son fell, and the sound was crisp.

Outside the window, the cicadas chirped again, singing songs at the beginning of July, and in the room, on the chessboard, the victory and defeat were divided.

"Lord, you lost. Yu Liangbo raised his head slightly, looked at the man opposite, and reminded.

Opposite him, Wang Hongyi, who was sitting and meditating, stared at the chessboard in front of him, and for a while, Wang Hongyi exhaled depressedly and said, "I know." ”

As he spoke, he pushed a five-tael silver ingot in front of Yu Liangbo: "This is the silver that you lost." ”

"Thank you for the reward, and the minister accepted it. Yu Liangbo narrowed his eyes and put away the silver ingot unceremoniously.

Seeing this, Wang Hongyi endured and endured, but finally couldn't help it, raised his eyebrows, and said: "There is something, I have always wanted to ask you." I have been playing with you dozens of times, when there is no color, every time you play, you are losing to me, but once there is a lottery head, you and I can win every time, this is too obvious. ”

"Lord, don't you know, the minister is very poor" Yu Liangbo has already put away the silver ingot, and when he heard the lord say this, he sighed very appropriately and replied.

"Now that you are the ninth grade, your salary is indeed thinner, but aren't you just a city society order, and you have a double salary. Hearing this, Wang Hongyi was a little surprised.

The city community order, which is the ninth product in the prefecture-level unit and the order official in the county-level unit, is responsible for inspecting the cleanliness and sanitation of the entire city, which is a new official position made by Wang Hongyi, in fact, building public toilets, collecting feces and dirty water, etc., are also within his authority.

Jiupin's official position is not small, and the prudent establishment of this yamen has caused many people to oppose it, but Wang Hongyi resolutely implemented it for two reasons.

First of all, there are ancient cities, and the streets are potholes, perennial water or mud, a large number of toilets are directly poured on the road, resulting in dirty, very prone to the epidemic of diseases, whether it is the Black Death in Europe or the plague in China, it is related to this, so it must be resolutely removed for Wang Hongyi.

The second is to force urban populations to go to designated public toilets or dump their toilets in their homes, which facilitates the collection of manure and its use of fertilizer.

You can also fine, no more, no less, it's really a lot of money

"Lord, the daily expenses are a little nervous in the official business, there is still money, public toilets are built in each square, and there are roads in the south of the city that need to be repaired...... The collapse of the old temple in the north of the city ...... "a sum of money, Yu Liangbo counted it with his fingers.

Wang Hongyi somewhat understood why this guy suddenly came to him to play chess.

Although he knew that the other party was just ridiculing, he had to bow down and say, "Okay, I'll let you allocate these funds immediately." ”

"Thank you, my lord. Yu Liang smiled triumphantly.

After a while, seeing that the other party had something to say, Wang Hongyi sighed again and said, "Let's say, after a long time, it will not be just for this little money, and what else will be said together." ”

"The minister still has something to report to the lord to know" Yu Liangbo changed his serious expression: "The minister once sent a letter to Meng Zhu, and now the minister has received a reply, Meng Zhu agreed to go out, and he has set off a few days ago, and he should be on the way to Wenyang Mansion City." I don't know how the lord wants to settle him? There are also ministers who have not explained before, but this person is a little different from ordinary people in his actions, and if there is any abruptness at that time, he will ask the lord to forgive him. ”

Baume & Mercier quirks?

Wang Hongyi is more tolerant of such things.

"This man is really as you said before, and he has given a county a way to govern it. Wang Hongyi glanced at Yu Liangbo with a smile: "Are you worried that I will judge people by their appearance and not get used to their words and deeds?"

"Lord, you won't be like this, it's just ......" Yu Liangbo stopped when he wanted to speak.

It can be seen that Yu Liangbo is indeed a little worried.

"Meng Zhuqi, although I don't know much about it, since you recommend it, you must have some ability, I have no doubt about this. Whoever does big things, small sections can be ignored. Even if he has some celebrity quirks, I can tolerate them, so you don't have to worry. Wang Hongyi said soothingly.

When Yu Liangbo heard this, he happily gave up his hand and said: "The lord treats people like this, there will definitely be more talents to vote, which is really a blessing for the two counties of Wenyang and Changding." ”

Wang Hongyi just smiled.

Do you want him to say that these are actually the fruits of the painful lessons of his previous life?

No one is perfect, he is not the person who only seeks perfection in his previous life, as long as there is something available, he can ignore other bad habits.

Three days later, Meng Zhu came to Wenyang Mansion as scheduled.

Wang Hongyi was discussing things with Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi, and when he heard about it, he immediately summoned this person, and in the main hall of the general's mansion, Wang Hongyi saw Meng Zhu for the first time.

Before seeing it, he had thought about what kind of morale this person was, and when this figure walked into the hall, Wang Hongyi was suddenly surprised.

Walking into the main hall, the clothes on his body are ordinary, his appearance is ordinary, and his bearing is ordinary, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like an ordinary person.

The aura on his body made his image drop a few points again.

After Wang Hongyi saw this person, he was still quite enthusiastic and smiled.

The person in front of him, in Wang Hongyi's previous life, only had the reputation of a celebrity, but there was no record of being a celebrity, which is why this person's image is not very eye-catching

At this time, he observed the other party, but found that the other party did not have much luck on the top, which was a natural thing, but the pale yellow natal qi made Wang Hongyi gain some surprises.

"From the point of view of life, this person is more than enough to serve as a county, if the opportunity is given, this person will definitely be able to develop, and it will be feasible to serve as the taishou of a county at that time" Wang Hongyi thought secretly.

"Meng Zhu has seen General Dingyuan. While Wang Hongyi observed the other party, Meng Zhu was also observing the person in front of him, and saw Wang Hongyi sitting upright, faintly majestic.

"It's extraordinary. "When they met for the first time, Meng Zhu had a good impression of Wang Hongyi, but he only gave his hands in a hurry, and his body was still unrestrained.

In ancient times, etiquette was valued, and this situation was a sloppy faux pas, almost everyone would give a bad evaluation, and this person had no record of being out in the previous life, which has nothing to do with it.

Besides, he is a daughter who buys bones, as long as the other party really enters the officialdom and tastes the taste of power, this kind of celebrity will automatically disappear.

Thinking of this, Wang Hongyi no longer paid attention to the other party's behavior, but just asked some governance issues.

After talking a few words, Wang Hongyi was still a little satisfied.

This person does have some ability, in agriculture and water conservancy, can put forward some suggestions, and it is by no means a scholar's talk, but through practice, this person is not as ignorant of the world as it seems, he can be regarded as a talent, if he is allowed to be buried in the countryside, it is indeed a pity.

Although Wang Hongyi's qi number is already very grand, such a talent will take refuge, and the number of qi on the top has not changed, but if it can increase by one point, it will be one more point.

Meng Zhu has a high reputation in Shudi, and with him, the purpose of buying bones with this thousand gold has been achieved.

"Mr. Meng, if you are willing, please help Wang. After talking, standing up, Wang Hongyi arched towards the other party very sincerely.

Wang Hongyi's move made Yu Liangbo smile slightly, and he was relieved in his heart.

"It seems that the lord is quite satisfied, this person has some skills. Zhang Youzhi listened to it for a long time, and when he saw this, he whispered softly with a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"Well, this is natural, Meng Zhuqi is a person, and he has at least one county talent. Yu Liangbo looked over there and said.

At this time, Meng Zhu stood up and saluted Wang Hongyi: "Meng Zhu is honored. ”

When he raised his head, Meng Zhu's eyes became brighter and brighter.

After a conversation, not only Wang Hongyi was satisfied, but Meng Zhu was also very satisfied, which made him secretly happy.

"The two counties of Wenyang and Changding are under my jurisdiction, and there is still a shortage of a county magistrate in Shunyi County, but Mr. Meng has just arrived, and Mr. Meng has come to serve as the county commander and act as the county magistrate, is Mr. Meng willing?" Wang Hongyi stood opposite and said.

As soon as he came up, he was a county official, although he knew that he happened to meet the time when his daughter bought bones, Meng Zhu was still surprised, knelt down at the moment, and bowed to the lord, saying: "Lord, the minister is willing." ”

The voice fell, and a breath of qi was separated from the top of Wang Hongyi's head and injected into Meng Zhu, and the originally slight small amount of qi suddenly became full.

On July 11, Meng Zhu officially took office and became the acting county magistrate of Shunyi County, and immediately, the news was released.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused quite a stir in Shudi.

Who is Meng Zhu?

In Shudi, the fame is not low.

It's just that this person has a free and easy temperament, strange behavior, although he has talent and fame, but there are not many people who are really invited.

On July 15, another person came to defect, Lu Pei recommended by Zhang Youzhi.

Although Lu Pei came from a humble background, Wang Hongyi was not just a person from a background, when Lu Pei came to Wenyang Mansion, Wang Hongyi summoned him.

This person is about thirty years old, wearing a green robe, with a pair of bright eyes on his black and red face, as soon as this person comes over, he will kowtow: "Xie Dashuai gave you such a great favor, the villain can't repay it, this time, I came to send five warships to show the villain's fear." ”

Send five warships as soon as you come up?

Wang Hongyi was very interested, and took the black-clothed guard to the dock, and sure enough, at the dock, there were boats moored everywhere.

Due to the health of the second county, there are more ships coming and going, Lu Pei led the look, and saw five warships, although they are not large, they are all warships, the quality is good, it is estimated that tens of thousands of taels of silver, it is really a great gift.

Lu Pei mastered water transportation, and his family had a big business, so it was, but this person was very politically benzene, the same as Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansanneng has a family business of "huge assets, and land is all over the world", and he is definitely not a Ben person, but he actually paid a huge amount of money to Zhu Yuanzhang, and this person is the same.

If it weren't for Wang Hongyi's own intentions, this person would only be afraid that he would not be able to escape the fate of the fat sheep, but even so, he was ready to lower his official position.

“...... Lu Pei, I understand your situation, how can a person like you, in such turmoil, stay in one place and be at peace? If you are willing, I would like to ask you to come out as the lord of a county. Wang Hongyi said.

Different from Meng Zhu, Lu Pei's heart was great, and when he heard this, he kowtowed gratefully: "General Chen Xie, General Chen Xie, my family has three generations of ancestors, and I am looking forward to someone being an official." ”

I felt that these five warships were really worth it.

Zhang Yuzhi couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw it.
