Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

The tea was steaming hot and full of fragrance, but Hu Jin couldn't drink it in one sip. The tiger was lying on the opposite coffee table, wagging its tail, staring at him all the time.Those green eyes were like two green lamps, which made his back go weak and his forehead sweat frequently.

"Master Hu." Tong Ran strode into the hall, "I'm next, Tong Ran, nice to meet you."

"Master Tong." Hu Yan glanced at the little tiger, and held hands with Tong Ran cautiously.After straightening up, he groped in his arms, took out a document and said: "The county magistrate is not allowed to leave the administrative area without permission. I got the governor's instructions before I came, and I asked Mr. Tong to look over it, so I can have a proof." .”

Tong Ran returned the gift and took the document, with the seal of the governor of Shanlin North Road on his head.

"I don't know what's the matter that Mr. Hu came to Tong Ran to rule the land?" Tong Ran asked him as he returned the document.

"Yes..." Hu Yan swallowed, and the tiger cub actually came here, "That..." His eyes widened, and he couldn't help but retreat, but was blocked by the chair behind him.I saw the little tiger scratching Tong Ran's robe corner, and let out a cry, Tong Ran smiled, bent down and picked it up.

"Master Hu, what's the matter with you?" After Tong Ran picked up the little tiger, he realized that something was wrong with Hu Jin.

"It's all right," Hu Yan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said calmly, "A few days ago, I heard that Master Tong built a road in Xiaoguo County from the county town to Fuqiu Village in Caogu Township. The road is poured with a new type of raw cement, the road surface is as smooth as a mirror, and the horse-drawn carriage does not bump at all, so I want to come and have a look.”

The Fuqiu Village of Straw Mushroom Township mentioned by Hu Jin is the third village of Straw Mushroom Township.Because it is the third village in Straw Mushroom Township, Tong Ran has always referred to it as the third village, but when Hu Yan mentioned the real name of the village, he didn't realize it for a while.

"Yes, yes," Tong Ran said, "There is such a road. It just happened to be fully open to traffic today, and firecrackers are being set off outside to celebrate. Lord Hu, come with me to see it."

Hu Jin naturally didn't refuse, but Tong Ran kept holding the little tiger, he didn't dare to get close, and kept more than an arm's distance from Tong Ran.

After walking for a while, Tong Ran also noticed his strangeness, and asked, "Master Hu, are you afraid of the tiger in my arms?"

Hu Yan said with a sneer: "I'm a little scared. Don't mind Mr. Tong. I was chased by dogs when I was a child, so cats and dogs are afraid."

Tong Ran intends to hand over the little tiger to others, but it has always refused to let others get close to it, let alone hug it.If it were placed on the ground, there would be a sea of ​​people outside today, and then the little tiger would get lost again.Tong Ran had no choice but to change the position of the little tiger so that his back was facing Hu Quan.

"Wow!" The little tiger yelled at him in dissatisfaction, but he was quite obedient and didn't transfer himself.

When the little tiger roared, Hu Yan's heart trembled, but seeing that its fangs were finally not pointing at him, he was slightly relieved.

Firecrackers were still being set off on the main road, and many people in the county town came to watch the excitement, and there were also many people from other places.Tong Ran was very eye-catching in his official uniform. As soon as he appeared, the crowd automatically moved out of the way.

"Master Tong!"

"Hello, Mr. Tong!"

"Master Tong, look this way!"

The people did not dare to surround him, but many of them greeted him. The yamen servants guarded Tong Ran, and Tong Ran raised an arm and waved: "Hi everyone, thank you for your hard work."

"We don't work hard, Mr. Tong has worked hard!" A voice shouted from the crowd, and the others shouted, "Master Tong, you have worked hard!"

Tong Ran also waved to them, and the classic scenes of the annual National Day came to mind.

"Wow!" The little tiger raised his head and shouted at the crowd.

"Little tiger! It's Master Tong's tiger!"

"Is it barking at us? It's so cute!"

"What are you calling?" Tong Ran looked down at it, amused.

"Wow!" The little tiger yelled at Tong Ran as well.

Tong Ran rubbed its hairy head, and led Hu Jin onto the concrete road.

When Hu Jin saw the cement road, he also forgot about being afraid of tigers.He kicked his legs, the cement road was really solid.He knelt down and touched the road again, and it was really smooth and free of dust.

"How wide is this road?" Hu Jin asked.

"It's enough for two two-horse carriages to go towards each other." Tong Ran said, "It's enough for a few pedestrians to walk on the side of the road." He designed it according to the specifications of the two-way single-lane lane with a bicycle lane in later generations. Today's Xiaoguo County can be used for a long time.

"Amazing!" Hu Quan said, "Master Tong..." Hu Quan got excited, leaned closer to Tong Ran, turned his head and saw a pair of green eyes, and was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Hu Yan moved a little further away and said, "Master Tong, do you think about connecting with our Chong County in this road test?"

Although Chong County is on the edge of the North Mountain Forest Road, because of these mountains, there is little communication with outsiders.If they can open up with Xiaoguo County, which is located at the intersection of the three roads, then Xiaoguo County's business routes will prosper in the future, and they will also have a piece of the pie.

This is the kind of calculation that Hu Jin made when he came to Xiaoguo County this time, but he was still cautious and didn't say anything before he saw the concrete road.Now that I saw this road, I couldn't help but talk about it.

"Huh?" Tong Ran was a little puzzled, and then suddenly realized, "Master Hu, you have a good idea, why didn't I think of it?"

The little tiger glanced at him, didn't expect?The blueprint you told me that day was all a dream?

Hu Yan looked happy: "Master Tong also thinks it is very good? Then we..."

"However, I have to think about it." Tong Ran said, "Drought in our county last year, this year I was exempted from part of the tax, and then I dug wells and repaired roads. The county is full of people. You need money. Mr. Hu is also the head of a county, so he knows how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. Xiaoguo County and Chong County are also separated by mountains. It will cost a lot to build a mountain. I think this is a good idea, but this time It is really difficult to do it in two years.”

"This..." Hu Yan was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it carefully, Tong Ran's words were not unreasonable.He is also in the officialdom, and he has heard a little about the affairs of Xiaoguo County. Tong Ran is the county magistrate who just took office this year. His predecessor, Deng Qi, was a big greedy person, and he must have left him with a lot of mess.To make Xiaoguo County what it is today, Tong Ran must have put in a lot of hard work and had to spend a lot of money. It is reasonable that there is no money in the county treasury now.

Tong Ran looked distressed.

Hu Jin calculated his own county treasury, and said: "How about this, Chong County will pay for the cost of digging mountains and paving roads, and Tong County Magistrate can arrange the manpower. It's just that after the road is repaired, I still need to borrow money from you." Once the workers in the county use it, I would like to build a road like this in Chong County to make it easier for the people and businessmen to come and go.”

"That's easy to say." The distress on Tong Ran's face was wiped away, and he smiled.As long as he can pay, he has a lot of skilled workers, so he can just lend him a few at that time.

Hu Yan was also happy to get Tong Ran's affirmation, but he always felt that something was wrong. When Tong County Magistrate laughed, he seemed to have a sense of a clever trick, maybe he was thinking too much.

After negotiating with Tong Ran, Hu Yan didn't stay any longer. He still had a lot of unfinished business in the county, so he hurriedly left after having a meal with Tong Ran. Groundbreaking.

Tong Ran was in a very good mood to send Hu Quan away.

"Zai Zai, I found that after returning from Beijing, everything went smoothly." Tong Ran lifted the little tiger by its armpit and leaned closer to kiss it again.

"Wow!" the little tiger roared, but it was restrained by Tong Ran's armpit, and its claws couldn't scratch it, so it kicked its legs violently.

Tong Ran put it down, the little tiger shook his body, yelled at Tong Ran, and ran out.

The little tiger ran to the yard to bask in the sun, and another yamen servant who was not afraid of death tried to touch it, but was pulled away by its tail.

The yamen servant let out a scream.

The little tiger glared with green eyes: "Wow!" I am in a good mood today, if you don't get out quickly, I will give you another paw.

The yamen servant walked away clutching his hands, and said to his companion: "Today, the tiger cub only slapped me and didn't catch me. Does it like me a little bit?"

"You are beautiful!"

The little tiger ran to the corridor, jumped onto the roof with his strength, and lay down on his stomach.

Tong Ran said that everything went well after returning from Beijing, so it didn't mean that it made all its orders in time?The little attendant said so, let's just pretend that he knows that he is doing well.The little tiger wagged its tail, the sun is really good today.

The first month is approaching, and the road construction workers have also received their last wages, and they are happy to leave and go home to celebrate the New Year.

Wu Fuqiang and other workers received inquiries from Tong Ran asking if they could come back to work after the year. Some said they would stay at home, while most expressed their willingness to come back.

Tong Ran glanced at the list of people who decided to come back after the next year. There were exactly ten people, and they would recruit some more at that time. With these people as the leaders, it was enough.

The stalls in the county are also booming, and all kinds of decorations for the New Year are on the shelves.

The harvest in Xiaoguo County is good this year, and everyone's life has generally improved. Many people slaughtered pigs before the Chinese New Year.The whole family can't finish eating a pig's meat, so they either share it with other families, or sell it in the county.In addition to the New Year decorations in the market, pork is the best seller.

Tong Ran originally wanted to buy it too, but he went to Wujia Village to take a look before the Chinese New Year. The piglets there had all grown up. The villagers gave Tong Ran a whole basket of meat and big sticks to thank the little tiger for herding the pigs for them. There were too many bones for him to eat.

Other villages followed suit and wanted to give Tong Ran things, but he declined all of them.

After all, he is the county magistrate, and Wujia Village has an old relationship with him, so he will accept some. It is better not to take it from other villages.In fact, in the future, it is better to take less things from Wujia Village.

Tong Ran stood at the gate of his own courtyard. This rented courtyard was not very private. Now that he was firmly seated as the county magistrate, he should consider his own basic necessities. It just so happened that the emperor rewarded him with 100 taels of gold to buy A house is more than enough.

Tong Ran asked Qiu'er to find Yazi.That Yazi was dressed in a gray-blue robe, very neat. After entering the door, he knelt down and saluted, "Cao Min Xingqing, shopkeeper Yu Xing, kowtows to the magistrate."

"Get up," Tong Ranxuan gave a hand, "I just want to buy a house, but I didn't expect to bother the shopkeeper to come in person. Sit down, and we don't need to be formal when we meet in private."

"Master Tong is the most important person in our Xiaoguo County, how can I ask my servants to handle Mr. Tong's affairs." Yu Xing said.He speaks flatteringly and has a smile on his face, but it doesn't make people feel flattering and annoying, and he can handle it well.

Tong Ran didn't answer his words, but just smiled and said, "I remember that the new magistrate of Zhuoyang Mansion is also surnamed Yu. I don't know if he is related to shopkeeper Yu?"

"Your Excellency Tong is quick, and the magistrate Yu is my younger brother." Yu Xing said, "My family's dental practice has been done for generations, and my younger brother simply became an official. I am not as good as my elder brother." After Yu Xing finished speaking, Tong Ran didn't Speaking, he originally wanted to wait, as if he had thought of something, he added: "Don't worry, Mr. Tong, the tooth is the tooth, and the younger brother is the younger. We have always made the distinction very clearly. There is absolutely no such thing as using power for personal gain. You can rest assured, Mr. Tong. I shop for houses."

Looking at his face, Tong Ran was calm, thinking of Yu Qing he had seen before, he handled things neatly, and he really didn't look like a person who used power for personal gain, so he believed his words to a third.

"I'm relieved when shopkeeper Yu said that." Tong Ran said, "I want to buy a house, it doesn't need to be too big, just me, the little tiger, and my servant."

"Master Tong is about to get married, right?" Yu Xing said, "In the future, when the bride comes in, she will add a few more sons to you, and the population will increase. It is better to plan ahead and buy a bigger yard."

Tong Ran was taken aback. In his previous life, his mother was single until he was in his 30s, and now this body is only sixteen years old, so he never thought about it.According to Dacheng's customs, it is common for a man to marry at sixteen or seventeen, even if he is only twenty, he can start talking about marriage at this age, Yu Xing is right.

However, Tong Ran smiled: "I don't have this plan for the time being. You don't need to consider these things when you recommend a house for me. Instead, I hope the courtyard can be bigger. My little tiger is still small now. When he grows up, he needs a place for activities. The yard is too small It won't stretch out."

Tong Ran's little tiger is well-known throughout Xiaoguo County, so Yu Xing naturally knew about it. He thought for a while and said, "The former county magistrate and Tongzhi of Xiaoguo County both bought real estate in the city, and later they were convicted. Then they were copied. The imperial court handed them over to our tooth shop for sale. Tongzhi’s place is smaller, and we have almost negotiated with a merchant from outside. Deng Qi’s place is bigger, and there is no buyer yet. Tongzhi Why don't you think about it?"

Yu Xing was also sweating when he said this.Both Deng Qi and Gou An were convicted of crimes and ransacked their homes. Superstitious people would definitely think their houses are unlucky and would not want to buy them.That's why the two best houses in Xiaoguo County have not been sold so far.

Tong Ran took Deng Qi's class, so I don't know if he will be jealous.

When Tong Ran went to Deng Qi's house last time, he had some impressions, but he was blindfolded when he went to the gambling room, so he didn't have much impressions, so he was a little hesitant.

Yu Xing has done a lot of business, and Tong Ran is hesitant at a glance.He hesitated, so he explained that he was moved, and Yu Xing said: "How about this, I'll make some arrangements, Master Tong will accompany me to look at the house in the afternoon, and there are two other smaller houses for sale. You can also take the county magistrate to see it together. If you like it, it's not too late to make a decision."

"It's okay." Tong Ran nodded.

Yu Xing said goodbye and went to work.

"Wow——" the little tiger got out of the bed and stretched its paws forward.

"Zai Zai woke up?" Tong Ran saw it stretching when he entered the door, and went to pick up the little tiger, "Let's go wash our face and mouth."

The little tiger looked at him and saw that there was no overstepping, so he let him wash his face and rinse his mouth.

"Zai Zai, brother is going to buy a house. Let's choose a house with a big yard. You will have a place to play at home." Tong Ran said while wiping its furry face with a wet towel.

"Wow!" I want a room alone!

Tong Ran brought water for it to rinse its mouth again, and said, "Let's make a bigger bed so that we can sleep more comfortably."

"Wow wow wow!" I won't sleep with you!

Tong Ran was very satisfied with his decision, picked up the little tiger and went out for dinner.
