Chapter 643
Wang Yue looked at Cheng Shaoshang's eagerness to try, and knew what she wanted to do without even thinking about it. This little girl remembered his ability to make money as a rich man, and seeing that the people in Hua County were pitiful, she wanted him to Find a way to help Hua County rebuild its homeland and leave a way for Hua County to make money.

Wang Yue thought for a while, and thought it was nothing. While pondering what to do, he took Cheng Shaoshang out for a few steps, and then whispered, "You know I was the general who led the army. , is tantamount to buying people's hearts, what will happen to you?"

Cheng Shaoshang was stunned for a while, and then realized that she was reckless. She looked at the wounded people in the room and the mess in the city, and asked in confusion, "Then what should I do? The houses are all good, but the houses of the poor people are basically destroyed, you have a lot of ideas, what do you think?"

Seeing that Cheng Shaoshang trusted him so much, Wang Yue was also very happy. He had been prepared for a long time, so he said with a smile, "Now Hua County is the biggest of your third uncle. You let him come forward, which is the right way."

Cheng Shaoshang was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that her useless third uncle was the new magistrate of Hua County, so she said excitedly, "If you don't tell me, I still forgot, so I'll go find my third uncle."

After Cheng Shaoshang finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the government office without waiting for Wang Yue to finish speaking.

Looking at Cheng Shaoshang's back, Wang Yue was speechless, this girl was really impatient.

You must know that the current officials are all from aristocratic families, and few children from poor families are released.It's not that you don't want children from poor families to go to other places to be officials, it's just because not only are there troublesome people from poor mountains and rivers, but also because the local forces at that time were deeply rooted. Marionettes of power.

The most famous example is Tang Seng's father. He still had some family background and brought some guards with him. Even so, he was killed by the bandits, and then the bandits replaced him as an official and took over his wife. Also worked for ten years.

You know, it was the Zhenguan period of Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty, and such things happened. Now this era is similar to the early Eastern Han Dynasty. Not to mention the bandits, the local aristocratic families and local armed forces in this era are very powerful. You alone If you don't do well, you can be killed and replaced as an official for you.

Off topic, what Wang Yue wants to say is that although the magistrate of Cheng County is an official of a small family, he also has little private property. Because of this, he himself is not short of money. There is really not much money in the treasury, and it is impossible to realize the reconstruction of Hua County.

Those who have money are those big families, and they must find a way to get some money from them, so that the reconstruction of Hua County can be completed.

Sure enough, when Wang Yue came to the county government without any haste, and followed Cheng Shaoshang's direction to find Cheng's third uncle, he heard Cheng Shaoshang ask Cheng's third uncle in surprise, "What did you say? Now Curry The money is only enough to buy 30 carts of wood and 40 carts of sand?"

Third Uncle Cheng nodded, and said helplessly, "There is no money left. If those big households hadn't given some medicinal materials in order to gain some fame, the wounded would have no money to buy medicine."

Cheng Shaoshang was very discouraged when he heard this. She didn't expect the county government in Hua County to be so poor. She was complaining about those big households who didn't get rid of their pennies. Suddenly, she turned her eyes and thought of something with Wang Yue. She said quickly, "Third Uncle, If you write a letter of commendation and stamp it with official seals to those merchants who pay, there will always be someone who is willing to pay."

Hearing what Cheng Shaoshang said, Uncle Cheng waved his hands quickly and said, "It's not difficult for me to write a letter of commendation, but it's absolutely absurd to become an official."

Cheng Shaoshang couldn't bear to come up with a feasible solution, how could he give up, so he quickly said to Uncle Cheng, "Don't worry, Uncle, just listen to me first, in this way, although we can't take advantage of it, we can Lure it in name, people are alive, who doesn’t want a good reputation? You can choose some good words to write, such as benevolence and heart, hard work, role model, family of great kindness, as long as you donate more than [-] guan, We donated the plaque as a gift, and the plaque only costs a few pennies, but it can encourage merchants to pay for the reconstruction of Hua County, what a bargain."

Third Uncle Cheng felt that this method was too philistine, and was about to shake his head to refuse, when he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly looked up at his niece, and asked suspiciously, "Who did you learn this kind of attention from?"

Cheng Shaoshang thought his uncle was praising him, so he rolled his eyes at the third uncle, and said proudly, "Such calculations still need to be taught? Children can understand such a simple truth, how much money is exchanged for how much money?" A hundred pennies. Uncle, you are not so stingy that you are reluctant to spend a few pennies, are you?"

Cheng Zhi glanced at his niece, he didn't expect to be so clever, and he didn't know what his brother and sister-in-law would think if they knew about it, he saw Cheng Shaoshang's persistence, and knew that this was actually not bad, at most he It's just some flaws. Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "I promise you."

Seeing that Cheng Sanshu agreed, Cheng Shaoshang was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he sat up quickly and began to grind the ink, and said while grinding the inkstone, "Let's write now.

Cheng Zhi didn't expect his niece to be so anxious and didn't give him a chance to think carefully, so he asked in surprise, "Now?"

How could Cheng Shaoshang let Cheng Zhi waste time, she said anxiously, "We can all wait, but the people of Hua County can't wait, can I not be in a hurry?"

Seeing that Cheng Zhi was really about to start writing, Wang Yue hurriedly said at this time, "Shao Shang, if these people get plaques for nothing but money, and they do something evil in the future, your uncle will be punished." Those censors participated."

Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Wang Yue to speak so bluntly. His hand that was holding the pen stopped. He only thought that it was not very good to do so and would be ridiculed by his colleagues. What to do with evil.

If this is the case, his official position may really be over, not because he is nostalgic for the official position, but because his eldest brother Cheng Shi survived on the battlefield for the Cheng family, and his second brother took care of the family for so many years. Only then can he go to Bailu Academy to study safely. If his official career is damaged in this way, then he will have no face to see his two brothers again.

Cheng Shaoshang was also stunned. She was more pure-minded and didn't think too much. After a while, she couldn't think of a good way, so she said dissatisfiedly, "General Wang, what do you say, let you go out?" Qian, you said it was taboo, and asked my third uncle to write a plaque, and you said it would affect your official career!"

Wang Yue looked at Cheng Shaoshang, who was a little furious, and even changed his name, so he quickly comforted him and said, "This is simple, I will let my part later, transport a huge stone to the mountain, and polish one side of it. Smoothly placed at the gate of the city, Cheng Xiancheng issued a document, engraved the name and donation amount on the stone according to the amount of money paid, which is enough for those who want to show off."

Cheng Zhi's eyes lit up when he heard Wang Yue's words. He clapped his hands and exclaimed, "General Wang's plan is very clever. It not only fulfilled the name that the big businessman wanted, but also kept me out of the relationship. After all, I just let someone record the truth. It's just a major event in the county, no one can say anything."

Seeing what her uncle said, Cheng Shaoshang nodded half-understanding. She actually felt that it was no different from her method, but she didn't know why her uncle admired it so much.

What's more, if the big rocks are placed outside in the wind and sun, the handwriting on them may disappear after a few years, and the deeds of those who paid the money will also be invisible to people. Is this really good?

After most of the residents in the city were temporarily resettled, the funeral of Cheng Lao County Magistrate also began to be arranged. After a few days of lingering, when the burial was ready, the imperial decree was passed to Hua County.

It is written in the imperial decree that Cheng Shicheng, the county magistrate of Zhaohua County, is good at righteousness and benevolence to the people, and his name will be bestowed on later generations.

Seeing such a reward, the common people were useless to envy them. They all thought of the merits of the old county magistrate, and all of them cried red-eyed. The better officials were really lucky to meet.

It was Ling Buyi who came to proclaim the imperial decree. Wang Yue waited for him to finish reading the imperial decree, and hurriedly went up to him and asked, "When will my decree of bestowing marriage be issued?"

Ling Buyi twitched the corners of his mouth. He thought of Wang Yue's contribution this time, and thought that the emperor would not be able to trust him anymore, so he nodded and said, "Probably in the last few days?"

Seeing what Ling Buyi said, Wang Yue thought he had some insider information, he was relieved, and he was thinking about other things, so he immediately asked his own question, "Then why did you come to read the imperial decree by yourself? I can't believe you came to see me."

Ling Buyi didn't hide anything, he looked left and right, and asked in a deep voice, "Can you hand over the Fan Chang you caught to me?"

Wang Yue was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood Ling Buyi's words, this was to be handed over to him, not to be taken away, he thought this guy was going to do something secret, so he nodded and said loudly, "Oh, then When Fan Chang was caught, I beat him severely and was seriously injured, it was really difficult to treat him, he happened to die yesterday, if you want his body, you can take it away.”

Ling Buyi twitched the corners of his mouth. He just wanted Fan Chang to interrogate him in his hands. He didn't expect Wang Yue to be so decisive. It made him see that Wang Yue was really helping him investigate the old case in Gucheng. Thinking of Wang Yue's life experience, he After looking at Wang Yue for a while, he cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Thank you!"

Wang Yue didn't know what Ling Busu was thinking, but of course he knew the meaning of Ling Busu's thank you. On the Gucheng case, the two had formally reached a consensus.

After Ling Buyi took Fan Chang away, it should be after the burial of the old county magistrate, Hua County immediately began to rebuild, and the outside of the medical hall had also started repairs.Cheng Shaoshang was responsible for this according to the agreement with Wang Yue. She deliberately wanted Wang Yue to see her skills, so that Wang Yue could use some snacks. After all, the two had an agreement.

Wang Yue didn't need to evade, he moved very quickly after getting the handwriting from Cheng Zhi, and according to his instructions, he built several clay brick kilns in one day, and fired red bricks and green tiles continuously the next day Well, after transporting it to the county government, I selected a piece of land, and quickly built some houses for those whose houses were damaged.

After those people happily moved to the new house, Wang Yue demolished all the houses that had been burned down on the four main roads in the city due to the ravages of the bandit army. After widening the main cross arteries, he set up shops on both sides. .

Because I got the news that after the construction of the main road, bricks and tiles will be fired for all those who need to repair their houses. With the examples of those model houses, the residents of the county are very envious, and they are more motivated to work , no matter what the driving force is, everyone is united and the progress has been accelerated a lot.

Cheng Shaoshang has been in the medical hut with her servants to help during this time, and after she finishes repairing the medical hut that day, she is going to be frightened by Wang Yue.

It's just that when she came to the main road, she was surprised to see the wide main street and the beautiful houses on both sides. Is this still the defeated county?

After wandering around with the maid, Cheng Shaoshang was also convinced by Wang Yue, and she didn't feel embarrassed anymore. You must know that the structures designed by Wang Yue in the newly built houses in the city are very reasonable. The little girl in the countryside who has been studying secretly for a long time can't find any faults, and even wants to learn from her teacher.

But thinking that the marriage will be given soon, he suppressed his thoughts. In Cheng Shaoshang's view, after getting married, wouldn't Wang Yue's be hers?

Cheng Shaoshang walked around and was proud of having such a son-in-law in the future. He just looked at the newly built house and understood everything else, but he didn't know the use of the two rows of houses built by Wang Yue.

I found the county government all the way, and then I saw Wang Yue. Cheng Shaoshang didn't look like a lady at all. After saying hello, he asked like a curious baby, "Wang Yue, the two rows you built on the main road What is the house for?"

Cheng Zhi was actually very suspicious, he didn't understand what the hell Wang Yue was doing, and seeing that Cheng Shaoshang didn't know, he also asked, "I don't understand either, can you tell me if it's not just General Wang?"

Wang Yue smiled mysteriously, and then said proudly, "Originally, the owners on both sides of the main road have houses in good locations in the county government. The houses on both sides of the main road are considered the property of the county government. You can put the house Renting it to merchants can be regarded as your county government’s income, and if there is a natural or man-made disaster, there will be spare money to relieve the disaster. Of course, there is no need for natural and man-made disasters, and it is also good to give some benefits to the people during the festival.”

Cheng Zhi was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the intention. You must know that there are so many people on the main road, and Hua County is an important traffic road. Businessmen must be willing to rent it to do business. Since then, the county government of Hua County has a steady stream. Now that he has a fixed source of income, he will have much less pressure in the future, and once something happens, he has money to solve the problem, which is simply wonderful.

Cheng Shaoshang didn't expect Wang Yue to think so much about her family's third uncle and the welfare of the common people. She felt even happier, and the spring water in her eyes was about to overflow.

Within two days, something that made Cheng Shaoshang even happier came. It turned out that Ling Buyi had taken advantage of Wang Yue and said good things to Wang Yue when he went back. He couldn't hold it anymore, so he reluctantly gave the marriage.

It’s not that Emperor Wen wanted to embarrass Wang Yue. No one dared to find Ling Buyi to urge him to marry him. Originally, Wang Yue didn’t want to, but Emperor Wen hinted many times in secret. He still couldn't do anything about giving him a chance to marry.

It's just that now that Wang Yue has made great contributions again, the emperor has to consider the issue of rewards. If he still delays and refuses to grant the marriage at this time, those courtiers who are watching will have opinions, and they can only do so unwillingly. purpose.
