Codex of the Old Gods: I Have a World

"presumptuous!"

Chengxun shouted.

Full of authority!

Zhao Chuanxin winked: "No, the person who spreads rumors and causes trouble is too presumptuous. If I catch him, I will shoot him in the head so that he will not be able to leave Lugang Town."

Chengxun: "..."

It seems that I am the one threatening!

Looking at everyone in the room, they all looked at him curiously. Although the rifles were put back into the weapons warehouse in the police station, they all had revolvers in their waists, and everyone had one in their hands.

I've heard that everyone in Lugang Town is a thorn in the side, and maybe they really dare to kill him to establish their authority.

Thinking of this, Cheng Xun coughed twice: "I came here today under the orders of the General's Mansion. I want to ask if you are willing to be favored and accepted?"

Zhao Chuanxin was amused by the way he acted like a strong man, he sat casually on his desk, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started puffing away: "Tell me, what kind of official do you want me to be?"

Liu Jiahui happened to be on duty in the office today. She looked at this scene curiously and was quite shocked.

He was the second-in-command in the General's Mansion, and Captain Zhao just dealt with it so casually?

Chengxun was angry, but he had to swallow his breath.

None of his men stopped him outside Lugang Town, only two of his men followed him in.

No tricks at all!

"Guerrilla cavalry assistant on the patrol road, are you satisfied with this position?"

This is equivalent to the deputy battalion commander, but the name is a bit more difficult to pronounce.

Zhao Chuanxin laughed and said, "You see, this is such a big deal. I haven't made any achievements yet so I can get an official position. Okay, I'll take this official position for the time being."

Chengxun's nose was so angry that he was so angry: How could he really become an official by begging for help? If General Jilin hadn't asked me to come, do you think I'd be ignored?

He said in a long voice: "Then this tax..."

Only then did Zhao Chuanxin realize what was going on. His originally smiling face changed, and his eyebrows drooped: "Oh, Deputy Governor, our Lugang Town is miserable and poor. We really don't have much money. As long as we collect a little tax, That means starvation everywhere, and people who starve to death can be piled as high as a mountain..."

Chengxun was very angry: In a small place like yours with poor mountains and rivers, the total number of people in it is not even as high as a mountain.

He increased his voice and said: "Since you have accepted the order, you should find ways to solve the problems for the court."

"This really can't be solved!" Zhao Chuanxin said helplessly: "Well, you go back and tell the general that your subordinates won't receive any salary, and the money should be paid as taxes for us ordinary people. Well, I'm here This is how officials serve the country and the people, and this is how they treat money like dirt!"

Liu Jiahui buried her head under the table and laughed silently.

But my shoulders couldn't help shaking...

"you……"

"What's wrong with me? Oh, I understand, what are the rules? I know the rules very well. I will arrange for the deputy governor to go to the bathhouse to take a bath, and then find a bath master to rub the ashes, and a massage master to loosen the bones. . A new bathhouse has been built in Lugang Town, it’s very nice!”

As soon as the ground was broken, a bathhouse was built immediately. There was nothing we could do about it. The sanitary conditions of the people outside the customs were really worrying, and there was a long way to go.

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin funded the construction of the first bathhouse, named: Lugang Bathing Center!

The tall boiler and the lotus water outlet imported from the West are quite domineering, but they are still losing money...

Simply, Chengxun showed his cards: "If you act like this, it will be difficult for me to explain when I get back."

Zhao Chuanxin looked like he was helping him solve his problems: "When you go back, just tell the general the truth. He has such a kind heart, he will definitely understand."

As he spoke, he kept talking and nodded heavily.

It seems that this is what I think in my heart.

Chengxun sneered: "Well, I will tell you the truth and take my leave!"

When Chengxun led the people away, Liu Jiahui said with great joy: "Captain Zhao, you are too narrow-minded. Won't he become angry from shame?"

"He didn't dare."

"What?"

"Haha, today he touched a hair of Zhao, and tomorrow he will keep the general's mansion full of guns from Lugang Town!"

Liu Jiahui: "..."

I really don’t know if it’s a boast or if it’s true.

……

Chengxun returned to the general's mansion and reported the situation to Dagui.

I thought Dagui would be furious and might lead his troops to attack Lugang Town. No matter how hard the bones are to chew, there is still hope that this cancer can be solved as long as the capital is spent.

Yes, Chengxun feels that Lugang Town is a cancer.

Unexpectedly, Dagui just smiled and said, "Send someone to deliver the official seal."

Chengxun was stunned: "Huh?"

……

It didn't take long for a series of appointment procedures and official seal to be delivered.

Lugang Town is boiling.

"From now on, you will be an official if you pass the salary."

"Tell him the good news."

In fact, this appointment is very strange, because only one person was appointed, and the others did not hold any official position.

In addition, Zhao Chuanxin did not have a direct superior and took orders directly from the General's Mansion.

The county magistrate stopped pushing, and the taxes still couldn't be collected.

Zhao Chuanxin said to a group of excited members of the insurance team: "Why are you happy? It turns out that it's just the same, it's useless. We don't pay taxes, and they won't pay us salaries. This is just for the magistrate to see."

But this did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm.

Originally, businessmen like Chen Daguang would occasionally worry about whether they would be implicated if they got too close to Zhao Chuanxin.

Now that Zhao Chuanxin has become an official, they have nothing to worry about.

Zhao Chuanxin took a position as a patrol guide for the guerrilla cavalry team. Just like a drop of the drizzle in spring, it penetrated into the already muddy soil and would not let pedestrians bring any more mud, nor would it let the road dry up.

On the contrary, he poured out a lot of silver dollars, and all the "unemployed vagrants" in Lugang Town went to pave roads and build houses. Rising stars like Zhu Jianye could quickly make money and become rich households in Lugang Town. This kind of change is immediate. .

Even though old Zhu Jianye's face is full of wrinkles, he has now learned how to go to the bathhouse to take a bath after a tiring day, rub the mud stained by sweat during the day, and then let the master massage his shoulders and back to stretch his muscles.

If it's early, go to the newly renovated Shuangxi Teahouse for a cup of tea, and then go home and take a nap.

The next day, I was able to go to the construction site to direct Ruoding in high spirits, wearing a wicker hat.

It seemed like everyone had something to eat.

The nail-shaped stone road in Lugang Town is also rapidly taking shape.

Maybe building a factory will make it cheaper for Japan in the future.

But infrastructure will ultimately be left to the people and China.

Just like the big oak tree not far from Zhao Chuanxin's home, scrofula and scrofula are covered with scars and bear witness to the long years.

In the middle of the paved stone road, there is a red brick house under construction.

The wall has two layers, the inner layer is made of hollow bricks, and the outer layer is made of refined solid bricks.

This is a two-story building.

In order to prevent serious snow accumulation in winter, the roof tiles are laid very steeply, so that there is an extra window at the top of the mountain to provide more lighting area.

Zhao Chuanxin is very happy to see that his small store, which will open soon, is about to be built.

Making money was a trivial matter. In later generations, he had the ideal of opening a boutique store. Unfortunately, the business was already in recession at that time, and he did not have the courage to try it.

Now this small shop will probably lose money, but he doesn't care.

Zhu Jianye saw Zhao Chuanxin staring at the construction site in amusement, and said: "Captain Zhao, no, it's Zhao Gang. Don't worry, I will build it for you. It will be beautiful."

Zhao Chuanxin was wearing the only hooded sweatshirt and baseball cap in the town. He squinted and said, "Lao Zhu, don't call me a helper in the future. People who don't know may think it's a piece of cloth and a rope. Just call me Captain Zhao." Okay. Also, I heard that you have been living a very lively life recently, taking a bath and drinking tea, you know how to do it all? You are almost buried, but you enjoy it better than me."

Zhu Jianye's old face turned red: "You can't say that, Captain Zhao. You can't say that I'm going to die just because I have white hair and wrinkles on my face. I'm actually not that old."

According to the estimation of future generations, Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Sixty?"

Zhu Jianye's face collapsed: "Forty-five!"
