I'm a marquis in Datang

Although the Xu family has always been the local snake in Jiangyin County, in fact, this local snake has limitations and has been unable to go any further.Now is the opportunity for the Xu family to go further.

So Xu Yinhe was extremely excited.

Du Ye said: "In that case, please ask Mr. Xu to arrange for someone to come to the county government later to connect with the person in charge of the county government. The reinforcement of river channels and the construction of canals in the entire Jiangyin County will be pushed forward immediately. After all, it has been going on for a long time now. Drought, the weather may change at any time, when the heavy rain comes, the situation will be difficult to handle."

Xu Yinhe nodded and said, "No problem."

After a pause, Xu Yinhe continued: "Since County Magistrate Du is here, why don't you have a simple meal at the mansion. Please rest assured that County Magistrate Du, the hospitality meals of my Xu family are all common meals, and will not delay County Magistrate Du too long." time."

Du Ye shook his head and said, "That's unnecessary."

He said: "Now I just arrived in Jiangyin County, and I have a lot of things to do. I stay up late every day to deal with things. So now, there is no time to rest at all. Mr. Xu, the work has been completed, and I will leave."

Xu Yinhe said: "Magistrate Du County is young and promising, for the sake of the people of Jiangyin County, he really worked hard and worked hard. The magistrate of County Du

Such perseverance and intelligence at such a young age is admirable. "

Du Ye said: "Grand Xu is wrong."

"Farewell!"

Du Ye cupped his hands and saluted, turned around and left.

After Du Ye left, Xu Yinhe directly arranged for someone to call his eldest grandson, Xu Tu.

Xu Tuqi was in his early twenties.

He is about 180 centimeters tall, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a straight nose, and an extraordinary bearing.He entered the hall, bowed and said: "Grandfather, you called me here, but what's the matter?"

Xu Yinhe opened his mouth and said: "Just now the newly appointed Jiangyin County Magistrate came to ask the old man for money and grain. The old man gave me [-] guan and [-] shi of grain. Next, you will escort the grain and money to the county government. .”

Xu Tu said: "The grandson obeys."

Xu Tu had also heard about the new county magistrate Du Ye.The other party is in his teens and is the head of a county.Such an identity is definitely stronger than the Xu family, so Xu Tu's intention for Xu Yinhe is very clear, that is to let him befriend Du Ye.

Xu Yinhe continued: "In addition, Du Ye is going to repair the entire river channel in Jiangyin County next. He entrusted this project to my Xu family. The old man promised him to submit the project at [-]% of the current market price and settle the matter. Take it down. You escort the money and food, then finalize this matter, and then gather people to prepare to start work."

Xu Tu was a little surprised, and said, "Grandfather, the bet you made on Du Ye this time is really a big one. One hundred thousand guan and fifty thousand shi of grain, plus the [-]% price of the project, our Xu family is going to pay for it." It took a lot of effort.”

Xu Yinhe said in a deep voice: "Since I chose to benefit Du Ye and make a good relationship, I should go all out. A hundred years ago

, when the land of the south of the Yangtze River was still under the Chen Dynasty, why did the ancestors of my Xu family enter Jiangyin County and gain a foothold?It was because the Jiangyin county magistrate at that time was funded, and it was generously funded, regardless of the cost and consequences.Therefore, with Xujia Village, we have our foundation.Up to now, the old man has the same attitude. "

Xu Tu said: "Grandfather is wise!"

Xu Yinhe said: "Now you are taking the imperial examination, but you have never won the exam. Even though I, the Xu family, are here, you don't have to worry. Even as long as you don't ruin the family, the Xu family's family business will not be ruined. However, the Xu family will continue Further, if we want to get out of Jiangyin County, we need to meet more people and make friends with more people. So right now, this is our opportunity.”

Xu Tu said: "Grandfather asked, and grandson will keep it in mind. Please rest assured, grandpa, grandson will definitely have a good relationship with Du Ye. Our Xu family has spent so much effort to support him this time, it is expected that he will I am grateful to the Xu family."

Xu Yinhe nodded.

He had a conversation with Du Ye, and he also thought that although Du Ye was sophisticated in handling things, such a child was relatively innocent, so as long as the Xu family supported Du Ye, the relationship with Du Ye would be easy to establish.

Xu Yinhe is not worried about this.

Xu Yinhe waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

"Yes!"

Xu Tu nodded in response, then turned around and went down to prepare.After all, it involves food, money, and contract workers. These are not trivial matters, and he needs to be fully prepared.

Chapter 1422

start

Du Ye left Xu's house and went straight back.

Back at the county office, he couldn't wait to come to the backyard, saw his father Du Qi, and said, "Father, my son has successfully lobbied Xu Yinhe, and he agreed to give [-] guan and [-] shi of grain. Within three days, he will They will send food and money. In addition, the son gave the Xu family certain preferential treatment, that is, all the offensives for building embankments and strengthening the river bed will be arranged by the Xu family. However, the price reported by the Xu family is [-]% of the market price .”

Speaking of this, Du Ye said again: "My son has already reminded me that if the riverbed and embankment are not reinforced enough to meet the standards, then I will not agree. The Xu family also promised the quality of the project."

Du Qi thought about it carefully after listening, and said: "There is nothing wrong with reciprocating. The Xu family supports you. You give the Xu family the opportunity to make money, and even let the Xu family gain both face and face. This is a win-win situation." .”

Du Ye said: "What my father said is true."

Du Qi said: "However, I still want to reiterate that it is the quality control. The people you select to review the quality must not be influenced by the Xu family."

Du Ye said: "Father, please rest assured about this, son understands."

Du Qi said again: "In addition, if you want to recruit workers to do things, you must also understand the treatment of workers. Recruiting people to work, you can't lose out to the local people. If the Xu family is looking for people to work, they don't pay the bills, but they appear The situation of embezzlement. In the end, even if the river embankment is repaired, even if everything is done, it will lose the hearts of the people, and it will not be worth the candle."

Du Ye said, "My son understands."

He now feels that he has greatly improved, because there are many things involved, so he has gradually learned to think more, and to consider many things comprehensively.

Du Qi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

"Yes!"

Du Ye responded, turned around and left.

Du Ye left the backyard and returned to the county office.Although all the assistant officials in the county government are already familiar with Du Ye, in fact, Du Ye's influence on them is not enough.

Even if everyone was in awe, they were in awe of his background, thinking that Du Ye came from a big family.

In terms of ability, everyone is not convinced.

Du Ye sat on the main seat, looked around at the people in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "When this official handed over to the previous county magistrate, the county magistrate Wang mentioned that the weather in Jiangyin County this year is abnormal, and it is very likely that there will be a drought first and then a flood. Especially in Jiangyin County, where the embankment is in disrepair and the river is full of silt, once the heavy rain falls, the entire Jiangyin County may turn into a lake."

"To this end, the official conducted research, visited many places in Jiangyin County, and asked local old farmers. Many people who know astronomical phenomena all said that the weather this year is weird, and it is very likely that there will be drought first and then flood."

"So, this official wants to prevent this situation. Make sure that when the heavy rain falls, our Jiangyin County will not be affected by the heavy rain."

Du Ye continued: "I have already lobbied the Xu family in Jiangyin, and asked the Xu family to contribute [-] guan and [-] shi for food support, and then the government will contract the project to arrange for the entire Jiangyin county to repair the river channel. As for the contract price, it is

The contract is contracted at [-]% of the market price. "

Whoa! !

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard the words.

Some people think it is meaningless, because the heavy rain never falls.Especially now that the weather is sunny and sunny, although there is little rain, it may not rain heavily.

Drought is also common.

Du Ye looked solemn, and said, "You can speak freely about any suggestions and ideas you have."

The county magistrate took the lead and said: "Magistrate Du, we actually have no objection to your arrangement. Because Magistrate Du did this for the sake of our Jiangyin County. Let alone digging ditches, if all The river channel has been dredged and all problems have been solved, so for Jiangyin County, it will be a matter of merit for the present and benefit for the future."
