Infrastructure masters in the red building

The newly dug road from Taoyuanzhai to Wuyuan County is about one foot to one foot five feet wide. It can stand five or six people side by side and one person deep.After all, Jia Fang had instructed not to dig too deep, otherwise support would be needed on both sides of the road to prevent the stone walls on both sides from collapsing.

The road has been dug to the current level, which can basically satisfy the pedestrian traffic of the people in the two places, but it is still too crowded for driving.

But the next task is not to rush to work, but to work slowly and meticulously to build a spacious and flat road that can accommodate people and cars.

At that time, Taoyuan Village will gradually widen the existing roads according to their plan, and then level the road surface, plan the driveways and trails... The Ministry of Public Affairs even gave the road planning and forecast, and it is estimated that it will take two It takes one hour for a car to pass, but only three quarters for a fast horse.

Yuan Hua, the county magistrate of Wuyuan County, heard the news that the road was connected, and hastily sent down an order that he would come and inspect it in person.

Yuan Hua inspected, and the official prestige was not lacking at all. He wore the full outfit of the county magistrate, Li Shiye in his left hand, Gui Shuban in his right hand, followed by the team leader and the yamen servants of the whole county. pass the road.

When he got here, Master Yuan saw that the peasants who had just finished work were preparing to pack up their tools and go home.He quickly ordered the team leader to stop him: "Why did you just leave?"

"Turn back quickly, grab your stuff, rush to the place you dug just now, regardless of whether there are people or not, just squeeze forward. The farther forward the better, then throw the thing in your hand on the ground, and you will be stunned. It’s there, it’s you who dug it there!”

"Not yet, it's a little bit faster."

The peasants sounded silly: cooperating and throwing tools under their feet, is this road considered to be dug by themselves?

"Think about your corvee work this summer!"

As soon as this threat came out, the folk husbands of Wuyuan County rushed forward together with sullen heads, until they reached the place where they "joined up" with the people from Taoyuan Village just now.

The people from Taoyuan Village have not left at this time, they are still guarding here.

People from Wuyuan County wanted to discuss with the other party: "Fellow townsmen, can I trouble you to step back."

The people in Taoyuan Village were puzzled, and the peasants explained their difficulties: "The officials and lords will follow later. After all, this is related to our summer labor."

"So it's like this!" The people from Taoyuan Village expressed their understanding, "But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter where you dig."

"What?"

"Because, Mr. Jia is here!"

Mr. Jia?

The folks in Wuyuan County are wondering who the big man they are talking about is, and the team leaders behind them have already rushed over.

"Why don't you move forward?" The team leaders were also very anxious. After all, Master Yuan told them just now that it was a matter of jobs, and no one dared to neglect.

"They didn't give in, they said it was..."

Before the leader of the people had finished speaking, someone from Taoyuan Village was already shouting loudly: "Come on, everyone please give way, Mr. Jia is here."

As soon as the words fell, the villagers of Taoyuan Village had already posted on both sides of the road, leaving a large space for the people behind to pass.

On the other side, Master Yuan, the magistrate of Wuyuan County, also arrived.Gui Xiaxue showed him the mileage markers made on Taoyuan Village. The meeting point of the two sides happened to be [-]% of Wuyuan County and [-]% of Taoyuan Village.

Master Yuan looked at his eyes a little dark, thinking that the other party had just taken office, and the first project he had performed in his county was a mess; Working hard, in the same amount of time, I actually did four times as much work as I did on my side - when the time comes, adults will ask...

No, you still have to find a way to fiddle with the process.

Yuan County Magistrate immediately ordered his yamen servants to continue to "advance".

Unexpectedly, the opponent never backed down, and even got into a stalemate.County magistrate Yuan was urging, but someone behind him said coldly: "Please let me go!" The voice was cold and astringent, impolite, and it was full of orders.

Yuan Hua has been working here for a long time, and he is used to bossing around. When he heard the words, he turned his head angrily, and was about to say, "Didn't you see the county magistrate here?" Suddenly, he saw Nanyong's iceberg face flashing in front of him.

County Magistrate Yuan immediately lost his temper.

He had a hunch that someone was coming.

I only heard cheers in the distance, and the cheers became more and more enthusiastic from far to near.All the personnel involved in the road construction project in Taoyuan Village applauded heartily for a moment.

At the end of the road appeared a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. He was quite tall, but a little thin. , with official boots on, pacing forward, nodding to the road construction workers waiting on the side of the road along the way.

He can remember most of the workers' names, which makes the workers very excited.Sometimes he would stop to chat with the workers on the side of the road, and when he heard something, he would immediately ask the people behind him to write it down.

Amidst the applause, County Magistrate Yuan watched the young man walking towards him slowly.

Yuan Hua has also been an official for many years. He used to be an official in other places. He also received a lot of those Wanmin umbrellas, Wanmin boots, etc., but how many of those common people are sincerely grateful, and how many are just local gentry's play, he himself is not sure. There are many.

But seeing the young man in front of him, everyone who saw him showed such love and joy from the heart, County Magistrate Yuan was really sour, so sour——

Originally, he only thought that the other party was favored by his family because of the patronage of his family, and the Holy Majesty only gave him favor, and he was in a high position before he was a weak crown. Although he was enviable, he couldn't help but secretly despise him in his heart.

But now, he has to accept that this young man is in a high position, so naturally he has a reason for being in a high position.

Yuan Hua had already determined that the other party was the new Jiedu Envoy, the one who was about to enter the Confucian Temple.And Master Li behind him was already fighting with his teeth up and down, and asked in a trembling voice, "It's...it's him?"

Gui Xiaxue replied steadily: "Yes, it's him!"

At this time, the two guards from the Rongguo Mansion who had been waiting on both sides of the road had strode forward, knelt down on one knee, and saluted Jia Fang: "Meet the young master!"

After Jia Fang was awakened, the two stayed behind Jia Fang, almost inseparable.

Zheng Boyi and Nan Yongqian, who were staff members, did not bow down when they saw Jia Fang, but bowed to the end.Jia Fang helped the two of them up and said: "Mr. Zheng, Mr. Nan, the two of you have traveled hard all the way."

Zheng Boyi and Nan Yongqian said together: "Lord Jia has worked hard all the way."

Yuan Huamu stood in a daze behind Zheng Boyi and Nan Yongqian, watching this scene happen with his own eyes.In any case, he never thought that Jia Fang, who was the envoy of Pingnan Jiedu, would go directly to Taoyuan Village at the first stop.

But when you think about it, it makes sense: Taoyuan Village is originally a fiefdom of others.

Seeing Jia Fang's sharp eyes, he slowly swept over.Yuan Hua froze, and immediately realized what he should do.

"See Mr. Jia," Yuan Hua formally performed the grand ceremony of paying homage to his superiors, "The roads here are cramped, and the etiquette of the lower officials is not comprehensive, Lord Wanwang is tolerant."

Behind him, the teacher, book office, team leader, yamen servant... all knelt down.

On the contrary, the folks from Wuyuan County thought that none of the people in Taoyuan Village on the opposite side knelt, why should we kneel, so most of them stood on both sides of the road and looked at the "good-looking" person in front of them together young officer.

"Master Yuan," Jia Fang leaned over and helped Yuan Hua up, "Master Yuan takes care of the people's livelihood and must do everything personally. I have experienced it in Taoyuan Village before, and I am very grateful. As long as Mr. Yuan continues to think about the people in the future, In Wuyuan County, I will definitely be able to make some achievements."

In a few words, Yuan Hua felt very relieved when he heard it, and hurriedly said a few words modestly, immediately forgetting the comparison of "[-]%" and "[-]%" progress.

But Master Yuan still doesn't quite understand. Jia Fang said that he had already experienced his participation in the people's livelihood in Taoyuan Village before, so what is it?He did go to Taoyuanzhai to attend the inauguration ceremony of Qingfang Bridge last time, and he didn't see any adults at that time!

Jia Fang's eyes turned to Yuan Hua's side: "Is this the teacher from your county?"

Yuan Hua hurriedly said yes: "Back to your lord, this is Master Li!"

Jia Fang smiled and said, "Master Li, do you still recognize me?"

Master Li lowered his head: "I do... I do, no, no, no, I don't, I have never met an adult, let alone said any offensive words..." The more he spoke, the lower his voice became, the more he talked about the situation The more the teeth fight.

Seeing that he was afraid of this, Jia Fang stopped scaring him, just smiled and said: "Well, then I haven't seen it before, I must have remembered it wrong."

He didn't intend to argue with such a villain as Master Li anymore, ignored him, turned his head to look at Gui Xiaxue, showed a comfortable smile, and said, "Meet you again."

Gui Xiaxue got up on his own, and replied with a smile: "Yes, it's good to see you again!"

"By the way, what you said last time, is the calcium carbonate used to make the cement the main ingredient of this mountain? Over time, the erosion of rain will also hollow out this mountain, right..."

When Gui Xiaxue saw Jia Fang, he didn't care about his boss who was still staring at him dumbfounded. He just asked all the questions that had been pent up in his mind for a long time, and confirmed them to Jia Fang one by one.

County Magistrate Yuan and Master Li just shrank to one side, watching Jia Fang talking with Gui Xiaxue in surprise, the two walked side by side in the direction of Wuyuan County.

Jia was placed in Wuyuan County, and he paid attention to the regulations of Wuyuan County.I saw that the county seat is not big, about two and a half miles from the south to the north of the city.But such a county town still has a fairly solid city wall, one and a half to two feet high, made of blue-gray bricks.

The existence of this city wall provoked Jia Fang to ask Yuan Hua: "Master Yuan, has there ever been a war here, and have there been bandits?"

Yuan Hua didn't know either, so he turned his head and looked at Master Li.

Master Li, who had read the county chronicles several times, replied respectfully: "Returning to Mr. Jia, this place was rebelled by the Seven Caves and Thirteen Villages more than 30 years ago, and the officers and soldiers were trapped here for half a year before finally expecting reinforcements .There has been no rebellion since then. However, there have been thieves in the surrounding mountains. Therefore, the city wall is still quite useful."

After hearing this, Jia Fang praised: "Master Li knows the history of this county very well."

One word of praise, then Master Li let go of the big stone in his heart, and felt relieved, as if he was about to cry for a while.

He didn't know Jia Fang's temperament, Jia Fang was very tolerant to others, he always believed that everyone has their strengths and strengths, and everyone should make the best use of them.Master Li had offended him earlier, after all, because he didn't know his true identity, and he was just talking nonsense based on "stereotypes", but it was not a big crime - scaring him was almost enough.

The group stopped to look at the Wengcheng at the south gate of the county seat, and then walked inside.

Jia Fang saw that the population in the city was not large, but the business was relatively prosperous.On the main street in the middle, there are shops and restaurants lined up side by side. It is roughly guessed that the county seat should be mainly inhabited by officials, yamen servants, businessmen, and scholars.

The county government of Wuyuan County is located in the north of the center of the city, facing a T-shaped intersection, facing south, it is very majestic.

And the "government office" arranged by Wuyuan County for itself is a Confucian Temple.There are three gates of the Confucian Temple, which is considered very grand in a small place like Wuyuan.

Along the way, Zheng Boyi had explained the general arrangement to Jia Fang: He suggested not to remove the plaque of the Confucian Temple and directly change it to the Jiedushi government office, but to place a separate plaque under the plaque of the Confucian Temple, indicating that it is " Jiedushi command post", so as not to harass the local area, but also to connect Jia Fang with people like Wenqu Xingjun.

Jia Fang: I see, people in this time and space have also been proficient in using the technique of "psychological suggestion".

When a group of people entered the Confucian Temple, they saw that the inside of the Confucian Temple had roughly changed to the shape of a government office.The clay sculpture of Wenqu Xingjun and the statue of Confucius were moved to the northernmost end of the last entry, which means "Confucius sits in town".Among the first two entrances, the first entrance is the place for daily business affairs, and the second entrance is the area for rest and rest.

Under the leadership of Zheng Boyi, the house has been tidied up and down, and the walls of the second living area have been painted, making it look clean and bright.Jia Fang took a look and felt very satisfied: except for the lack of sanitary ware, the place has basically met his living standards.

It was getting late at this time, and Yuan County Magistrate personally came to invite Jia Fang to the largest restaurant in the county town to have dinner and meet the local gentry.

Jia Fang declined, saying that he was here on the first day and had to rush to finish all the official duties since he took office.

Yuan Hua's face immediately showed just the right admiration, and he sang praises to Jia Dafang, and then left with Master Li and Gui Shuban.Only then did Zheng Boyi get the chance to bring out a large pile of official documents that Jia Fang, the "Jiedu envoy of Pingnan", had accumulated over a period of time.

The biggest advantage of Jia Fang's official position is that he does not need to hand over to his predecessors. "Pingnan Jiedushi" is a miraculous existence that was airborne directly to the heads of all officials and soldiers in the southern region.

He doesn't need to deal with any actual official duties at the moment, the only thing he needs to do is to stay in his government office and wait for officials from all over the south to come here to see him.Through this meeting, he can consider exerting some influence on various places, or he can just take this opportunity to get to know everyone and get acquainted with each other.

Zheng Boyi has sorted out the resumes and positions of all officials of the corresponding rank, and explained them to Jia Fang one by one. After going through this one time, the meal time is over.Jia Fang must not have time to return to Taoyuan Village/Grand View Garden.

He, Zheng Boyi and others casually ate a little meal ordered from an outside restaurant, and then set a time to meet with all the officials, and then Zheng Boyi and Nan Yongqian came forward to make contact.Jia Fang will come to Wuyuan County again on the appointed day, and he can stay in Taoyuanzhai/Grand View Garden at other times.

All plans are ready, it is already late at night.

Zheng Boyi and others resigned, allowing Jia Fang to rest on his own.It is said that when Yuan Hua saw that there was no one around to serve him, he wanted to force two maids to come over, but he was immediately persuaded to leave.Only in this way can Jia Fang enjoy this quiet night alone.

Unexpectedly, just as Jia Fang was about to take off his clothes, he suddenly heard two pecks on the window, and a young voice whispered: "Hey, basic calcium carbonate, I have something to ask—"

"Curious baby?" Jia Fang knew who was coming, and hurriedly opened the window.

As soon as he pushed open the long window, he heard Gui Xiaxue's scream of "ah", and saw that the guy's arms were cut behind his back by Jia Fang's two guards, and his whole body was firmly pressed to the ground. Can't move.Jia Fang's two guards were not by Jia Fang's side on weekdays, and today they finally had a chance to make meritorious service, so why not take this opportunity to show off?

Immediately, the two of them pressed Gui Yaxue even tighter, and one of them yelled softly: "My lord is here, don't be rude!"

But this guy still yelled regardless: "I really have something to ask!"
