Wang Yue looked at Cheng Shaoshang's eagerness to give it a try and knew what she wanted to do without even thinking. This little girl remembered the money-making ability of this wealthy man and saw that the people of Hua County were pitiful, so she wanted to let him
Find ways to help Hua County rebuild its homes and leave a way to make money for Hua County.
Wang Yue thought for a while and felt that it was nothing. While he was thinking about what to do, he took Cheng Shaoshang out for a few steps and then whispered, "You know that I am the general who leads the army. If I invest in the reconstruction of Hua County,
, which is tantamount to buying people's hearts, what will happen to you?"
Cheng Shaoshang was stunned for a while, and then she realized that she had been reckless. She looked at the room full of injured people and the mess in the city, and then asked tangledly, "What should I do? I see a lot of big families."
The houses are okay, but the houses of poor people are basically destroyed. You have many ideas, what do you think we should do?"
Wang Yue was very happy to see Cheng Shaoshang trusting him so much. He had been prepared for it, so he smiled and said, "Your third uncle is the biggest in Hua County now. It is the right way for you to let him come forward."
Cheng Shaoshang was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that her useless third uncle was the new county magistrate of Hua County, and she said excitedly, "If you don't tell me, I've forgotten. I'll go find my third uncle right away."
After Cheng Shaoshang finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the government office without waiting for Wang Yue to finish speaking.
Wang Yue looked at Cheng Shaoshang's back and was speechless. This girl was really impatient.
You must know that today's officials are all from aristocratic families, and few children from poor families are sent abroad. It's not that they don't want children from poor families to go to other places to serve as officials. It's just because not only are the poor people coming out of poor mountains and rivers, but also because the local forces at that time were deeply intertwined. If you don't have a foundation
He comes from a poor family and may not have taken office yet. Either he was killed in the process or he became a marionette of local forces.
The most famous example is Tang Seng's father. He still had some wealth and brought some guards. Even so, he was killed by gangsters. Then the gangsters became an official for him and took his wife. This official
I have been working for more than ten years.
You know, that was during the Zhenguan period of Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, and something like this happened. The current era is similar to the early Eastern Han Dynasty. Not to mention the gangsters, the local aristocratic families and local armed forces in this era are very powerful. You are a
If it doesn't work well, you can be killed and replaced by someone else as an official.
I digress. What Wang Yue wants to say is that although Magistrate Cheng is an official from a small aristocratic family, he has very little private property. Because of this, he himself is not short of money and was very honest when he was an official.
There is really not much money in the treasury, so it is impossible to rebuild Hua County.
The rich ones are those from wealthy families, and we must find ways to get some money from them in order to complete the reconstruction of Hua County.
Sure enough, when Wang Yue arrived at the county government office in a hurry and followed the direction of Cheng Shaoshang to find the third uncle of the Cheng family, he heard Cheng Shaoshang asked in surprise at the third uncle Cheng, "What did you say? Now in the library
You only have enough money to buy 30 carts of wood and 40 carts of sand?"
Uncle Cheng nodded and said helplessly, "There is no money left. If those big families hadn't given away some medicinal materials in order to gain some fame, the wounded would not have money to buy medicine."
Cheng Shaoshang was very discouraged when she heard this. She didn't expect that the Hua County government was so poor. She was complaining about those big households who were not giving up their money when she suddenly rolled her eyes and thought of Wang Yue. She quickly said, "Uncle Third,
You write a letter of commendation and stamp it with the official seal to the businessmen who contributed money, and there will always be someone willing to pay."
When Uncle Cheng heard what Cheng Shaoshang said, he quickly waved his hands and said, "It's not difficult for me to write a letter of commendation, but it's absolutely impossible to get an official title. It's simply ridiculous."
Cheng Shaoshang finally came up with a feasible solution. How could he give up? He quickly said to Uncle Cheng, "Uncle, don't be anxious. Please listen to what I tell you first. In this way, although we can't take advantage of it, we can
Lure people with reputation. Who doesn’t want a good reputation in this world? You can choose some nice words to write, such as being kind and caring, diligent in doing things, a model for the common people, and a family of great benevolence. As long as you donate more than three hundred dollars,
We will give the plaque as a gift. The plaque only costs a few dollars, but it can encourage businessmen to spend money to rebuild Hua County. What a bargain."
Uncle Cheng felt that this method was too philistine, and was about to shake his head to refuse. Suddenly something occurred to him, and he suddenly looked up at his niece and asked doubtfully, "Who did you learn this kind of attention from?"
Cheng Shaoshang thought his uncle was praising him, so he rolled his eyes at his third uncle and said proudly, "Do you need someone to teach you such a calculating trick? Children can understand such a simple principle. How many coins can be exchanged for how much money?"
Hundreds of dollars... Third uncle, you are not so stingy that you are reluctant to spend even a few dollars, are you?"
Cheng Zhi glanced at his niece. He didn't expect to be so clever. He didn't know what his brother and sister-in-law would think if they found out. He saw Cheng Shaoshang's persistence and knew that this was actually not a bad idea. At most, he would bear it.
It's just some flaws. Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "I promise you."
Seeing that Uncle Cheng San agreed, Cheng Shaoshang was afraid of long nights and many dreams, so he quickly sat down and started grinding ink. While grinding the inkstone, he said, "Let's write now.
Cheng Zhi didn't expect that his niece was so anxious and didn't give him a chance to think about it carefully, so he asked in surprise, "Now?"
How could Cheng Shaoshang let Cheng Zhi waste time? She said anxiously, "We can all wait, but the people of Hua County can't wait. Can I not be anxious?"
Wang Yue saw that Cheng Zhi was really about to write, and at this moment he hurriedly said, "Young Shang, if these people who get plaques for money do anything evil in the future, your uncle will be punished."
Those who are censors."
Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wang Yue's words to be so straightforward. His hand that was holding the pen stopped. He only thought that this was not a good thing and would be ridiculed by his colleagues. He didn't expect that those who would get the plaques in the future would be
What to do about evil.
If this is the case, his official position may have really come to an end, not because he is nostalgic for his official position, but because his eldest brother Cheng Shi survived on the battlefield for the Cheng family, and his second brother has taken care of the family for so many years.
Only then could he go to White Deer Academy to study safely. If his career was damaged in this way, then he would have no shame in seeing his two brothers again.
Cheng Shaoshang was also stunned. She was more simple-minded and didn't think so much. After a while, she couldn't think of a good way, so she said dissatisfiedly, "General Wang, what do you think we should do? Let me go out."
Money, you said it was taboo, you asked my third uncle to write a plaque, and you said it would affect your career!"
Wang Yue looked at Cheng Shaoshang, who was a little angry, and even changed his name to become alienated, and quickly comforted him and said, "It's simple. I will ask my subordinates to go to the mountain to transport a huge stone and polish one side."
The smooth stone was placed at the city gate, and Cheng County Cheng issued a document to carve the name and the amount of donation on the stone according to the amount of money paid. This is enough to show off to those who want the name."
Cheng Zhi's eyes lit up after hearing Wang Yue's words. He clapped his hands and exclaimed, "General Wang's plan is very clever. It not only secures the name of the big businessman, but also separates me from the relationship. After all, I just let people record the truth."
It's just a major county matter, no one can say anything."
When Cheng Shaoshang saw what her uncle said, she nodded in understanding. She actually felt that it was no different from her method, but she just didn't know why her uncle admired it so much.
Moreover, if the big stone is left out in the wind and sun, the writing on it may disappear after a few years, and the deeds of those who contributed money will no longer be visible. Is this really good?
...
After most of the residents in the city were temporarily resettled, the funeral arrangements for County Magistrate Cheng also began. After a few days of rest, when the funeral was being prepared, the imperial edict was sent to Hua County.
The imperial edict states that Cheng Shicheng, the magistrate of Zhaohua County, has done a lot of good deeds and benevolence to the people, and his name will be used in future generations. He is also known as the wise doctor in the world, and he is specially named the second-class Guannei Marquis.
Seeing such a reward, the common people were helplessly envious. They all thought of the merits of the old county magistrate, and their eyes became red with tears. Better officials really only come across by luck.
It was Ling Buyi who came to announce the imperial edict. Wang Yue waited for him to finish reading the imperial edict, and then hurriedly approached him and asked, "When will my decree of marriage be issued?"
Ling Buyi twitched the corner of his mouth. He thought of Wang Yue's contribution this time, and thought that the emperor would not be able to support him anymore, so he nodded and said, "Probably in the past few days?"
Seeing what Ling Buyi said, Wang Yue thought he had some inside information, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He also had other things to think about, and he immediately asked his question, "Then why did you read the imperial edict yourself?
I don’t believe you came to see me.”
Ling Busuo didn't hide anything. He looked around and asked in a deep voice, "Can you hand over the Fan Chang you captured to me?"
Wang Yue was stunned for a moment. He immediately understood what Ling Buyi said. He was giving it to him, not taking it away. He thought this guy was going to do something secretive, so he nodded and said loudly, "Oh, then
When I caught Fan Chang, he was seriously injured and it was difficult to treat him. He happened to die yesterday. If you want his body, you can take it away."
Ling Buyi twitched his lips. He just wanted Fan Chang to interrogate him in his hands. He didn't expect Wang Yue to be so decisive. He saw that Wang Yue was sincerely helping him investigate old cases in Gucheng. Thinking of Wang Yue's life experience, he
After looking at Wang Yue for a while, he cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Thank you!"
Wang Yue didn't know what Ling Busuo was thinking, but he certainly knew the meaning of Ling Busuo's gratitude. On the Gucheng case, the two of them had officially reached a consensus.
...
After Ling Buyi took Fan Chang away, probably after County Magistrate Cheng Cheng was buried, Hua County began to rebuild immediately, and repairs began outside the medical center. Cheng Shaoshang took charge of this in accordance with the agreement with Wang Yue.
, she deliberately wanted Wang Yue to see what she was capable of, so that Wang Yue could use her snacks. After all, they had an agreement.
Wang Yue had no need to shirk the blame. He acted quickly after getting the handwritten letter from Cheng Zhi. According to his instructions, his troops built several adobe brick kilns in one day, and red bricks and green tiles continued to be fired the next day.
Well, we transported it to a piece of land near the county government office and quickly built some houses to provide for those whose houses were damaged.
After those people happily moved to their new houses, Wang Yue demolished all the houses on the four main roads in the city that had been burned down due to the ravages of the bandits. After widening the main cross roads, he built shops on both sides.
.
Because I got the news that after the construction of the main road is completed, bricks and tiles will be fired and supplied to all those who need to repair their houses. With the example of those model houses, the residents of the county are very envious and they are more motivated to work.
, no matter what the motivation is, everyone has united as one and the progress has been accelerated a lot.
Cheng Shaoshang has been helping out at the medical hut with her servants during this period. After she completes the renovation of the medical hut, she plans to find Wang Yuedese.
But when she came to the main road and looked at the wide main street and the beautiful houses on both sides, she felt very surprised. Is this still the failed county?
After taking the maid around, Cheng Shaoshang was also convinced by Wang Yue, and she no longer wanted to be embarrassed. You must know that the structures of the newly built houses in the city designed by Wang Yue are very reasonable, so that she can
The little girl who has been secretly studying in the countryside for a long time cannot find anything wrong with her and even wants to become a teacher.
But thinking that the marriage was about to be granted, she gave up her mind. In Cheng Shaoshang's opinion, after the marriage, wouldn't Wang Yue's be hers?
Cheng Shaoshang walked around and felt proud to have such a son-in-law in the future. Looking at the newly built houses, he could understand everything else, but he didn't know what the use of the two rows of houses built by Wang Yue was.
Along the way to the county government office, I saw Wang Yue. Cheng Shaoshang didn't look like a lady at all. After saying hello, he asked like a curious baby, "Wang Yue, you built two rows on the main road.
What are houses used for?”
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cheng Zhi was actually very suspicious and didn’t understand what Wang Yue was up to. Cheng Shaoshang didn’t know either, so he followed suit and asked, “Me too
I don’t understand, General Wang, can you tell me?”
Wang Yue smiled mysteriously, and then said proudly, "Originally, the owners on both sides of the road had houses in good areas of the county government. The houses on both sides of the main road were considered the property of the county government. You can take the houses
Renting it to businessmen can also be considered as the income of your county government. If there is a natural disaster or man-made disaster, there will be enough money to provide disaster relief. Of course, it is not necessary to deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters. It is also good to provide some benefits to the people during the holidays."
Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the intention. You must know that there are so many people on the main road, and Hua County is an important transportation road. Businessmen must be willing to rent it for business. Since then, Hua County has a steady flow of people.
With a fixed financial source, he will have less stress in the future. And if there is any situation, he will have money to solve the problem, which is simply wonderful.
Cheng Shaoshang did not expect that Wang Yue would consider her third uncle so much and work for the welfare of the people. She felt even happier and her eyes almost overflowed with joy.
Within two days, something happened that made Cheng Shaoshang even more happy. It turned out that Ling Buyi had taken advantage of Wang Yue again and said good things to Wang Yue when he went back. The emperor thought that after delaying Wang Yue for so long, the queen's face had already been lost.
He couldn't stand it any longer, so he reluctantly agreed to marry her.
It's not that Emperor Wen wanted to embarrass Wang Yue. In fact, no one dared to go to Ling Buyi to urge him to marry. Originally, Wang Yue was not willing to do so. Emperor Wen's hints overtly and secretly were useless. If he hadn't caught Wang Yue this time,
He wanted to give him a chance to get married, but he still couldn't do anything.
It's just that now that Wang Yue has made great achievements again, the emperor has to consider the issue of reward. If he still delays the marriage at this time, the courtiers who are watching will have objections and can only do it reluctantly.
