Chapter 158

If your play is really presented on such a stage, it is not impossible.

Shopkeeper Ning took a deep breath: "Then I'll have someone bring it over."

Suiyu was not in a hurry: "Then just ask someone to hand it over to me. I'll probably be backstage."

After saying that, Suiyu excused himself to Chen Jinjun: "Master, I want to go down and take a look."

Chen Jinjun knew that she was worried about the entire theater performance, so she nodded and let Suiyu go.

Then Chen Jinjun looked at Shopkeeper Ning: "Is Shopkeeper Ning very busy recently?"

The original intention of Chen Jinjun's question was to confirm whether shopkeeper Ning was busy.

But in the eyes of shopkeeper Ning, she belongs to the Chen family, so this sentence has changed.

He quickly waved his hand: "I'm not idle, Hongyin Bookstore has just planned to cooperate with the newspaper to print some books."

Chen Jinjun sighed quietly: "That's right. Letting a Jinshi revise the opera here is always a sign of humiliation."

Hearing what Chen Jinjun said, shopkeeper Ning came back to his senses and said awkwardly: "It's not that I'm too busy to get away. It doesn't take much effort to change the script."

"What? Aren't you busy printing books with the newspaper?" Chen Jinjun mocked him angrily. Shopkeeper Ning was the same. He didn't learn the so-called observation of words and demeanor in official circles back then, but he didn't lose a bit of being outspoken.

Shopkeeper Ning knew that Chen Jinjun was talking about himself, so he quickly waved his hand: "I'm not busy, I'm not busy, everything will be arranged by my boss."

"So, when Suiyu will invite all the theater troupes from other places over, shopkeeper Ning will help read the script, and there must be no script that is detrimental to you and me."

Chen Jinjun is very cautious in this regard. She doesn't want to be caught by Shao Peichen or the people of the Republic of China.

Shopkeeper Ning nodded quickly. He knew how harmful public opinion and rumors could be, and he also had this sense of propriety in his heart.

"Also, your affairs at the theater must not affect Hongyin Bookstore." Chen Jinjun warned again.

"Don't worry, boss, I have a sense of balance in my heart." Shopkeeper Ning looked serious. He knew that Chen Jinjun had high hopes for him, so naturally he couldn't do anything detrimental to the Chen family.

Chen Jinjun squinted his eyes and watched one scene after another passing on the stage.

She hopes that this big theater can bring great prestige and influence to Yongzhou, so that the economic trend in the northwest will have less impact on Yongzhou.

Chen Jinjun left the theater and rushed directly to the Yongzhou government office.

The government officials had not seen Chen Jinjun for a long time and hurriedly came out to greet him: "Why did my boss come to us today?"

For a moment, Chen Jinjun thought that she had gone to the wrong place. It seemed that she had come to a restaurant instead of a government office.

With this strange feeling, Chen Jinjun sat in the official palace. The officials were busy serving tea and water to Chen Jinjun.

Chen Jinjun quickly found an excuse to leak out and went to Huo Tingyu's office.

Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun with a strange expression and couldn't help but ask her: "What's wrong?"

"Are you a government official? It's really not a restaurant?" Chen Jinjun told Huo Tingyu about the strange behavior of the officials just now.

Huo Tingyu laughed so loudly that the adjutant at the door couldn't help but look sideways.

After a long while, Huo Tingyu stopped speaking: "This matter... it's my fault."

"You? What did you say?" Chen Jinjun stared at Huo Tingyu with a reproachful look.

Huo Tingyu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I just said that Dong Chen's family is here to entertain me. As for why, I don't know."

Chen Jinjun sighed quietly: "Just sitting there, I forgot what I was here to do."

Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun: "It's okay, my boss can think about it slowly and then tell me directly."

Chen Jinjun looked at Huo Tingyu and sighed: "This is different."

"Oh?" Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun curiously, "My boss, tell me, what's the difference?"

"I came here to discuss road construction with the Yongzhou government. If I told you directly and you gave me further instructions, wouldn't it mean that I was taking advantage of my good relationship with the commander-in-chief to make my own plans?"

Chen Jinjun looked at Huo Tingyu seriously. In her understanding, there must be procedures to do such a thing. The emperor's merchants already had a lot of money in their hands. If they acted rashly, they would easily be regarded as a thorn in the emperor's side.

What comes next is eradicating the roots.

This is the Chen family's experience over the years, and Chen Jinjun has always done this, so even in Yongzhou, he has not forgotten the rules.

It's just that she forgot that Huo Tingyu is the most unruly person.

He looked at Chen Jinjun with a smile: "What else can my boss do that is harmful to Yongzhou?"

Chen Jinjun shook his head decisively: "Of course not."

"Then why does the boss have to care about so many things?" Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun with a smile.

Chen Jinjun frowned: "This is against the rules."

"Then what's the rule?" Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun and asked her, holding his cheek.

"Commander, there are laws in Yongzhou, and laws are for people to abide by. How can they be changed at will?"

Chen Jinjun looked at Huo Tingyu seriously.

Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun with interest, stood up and walked next to her.

Two big hands gently held her shoulders: "My boss, do you think I, Huo Tingyu, need any rules when I work in Yongzhou?"

He grinned, looking silly and bad.

Chen Jinjun nodded helplessly: "Yes, of course you don't need rules in Yongzhou, you are the rules yourself."

After saying that, Chen Jinjun still pretended to sigh.

Huo Tingyu was dumbfounded by her appearance. He could only ask Chen Jinjun in a good voice: "What is it for? I heard you just said you wanted to build a road. Where to build it?"

Seeing that Huo Tingyu finally started talking about this serious matter, Chen Jinjun hurriedly expressed his thoughts: "The roads in and outside Yongzhou City must be repaired. Not only normal roads must be repaired, but also railways and other things must be repaired."

Huo Tingyu was confused by Chen Jinjun's advanced idea: "Why do you suddenly need to carry out such a large-scale construction project?"

Chen Jinjun took a deep breath: "The purpose of building the mainland is to make it easier for Yongzhou to enter and exit. In the future, trade will not be affected by the overall situation of the northwest. Otherwise, if Shao Peichen suddenly gets into trouble one day, wouldn't Yongzhou become his?

granary?"

Huo Tingyu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Chen Jinjun had already made plans for the future. He quickly asked: "What about the railway?"

"The railway speed is very fast. If we can get steam engines from foreigners, Yongzhou will definitely be able to break away from the northwest and become a completely independent city-state." Chen Jinjun's tone was particularly firm.

Huo Tingyu looked at Chen Jinjun blankly. When she talked about this, her eyes flashed brightly, like a strategist strategizing, or a magician with an abacus.

"Okay, I promise you, we will arrange to start construction immediately." Huo Tingyu nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, in the past six months, Yongzhou's overall economic situation has been very good, coupled with Chen Jinjun's support for Yongzhou's military pay, and the confiscated property of Yongzhou Chamber of Commerce Chairman Cai Ying and his lackeys, building a few major roads is no longer a problem.

As for things like railways, Huo Tingyu just assured Chen Jinjun that he would pay attention to them. After all, such talents are rare but not sought after.
