Chapter 146: I know what to say

The atmosphere among colleagues in Sitian Cao is very harmonious. In addition to official business, Si Tangcheng and his subordinates have become accustomed to each other. Just now, he just attended the banquet to welcome the new envoy. As soon as he arrived at Sitian Cao in the afternoon, a civil servant came up curiously and asked, "Sir, how is our new governor Yao?"

"How is it!" After hearing this question, Tang Cheng's mind first appeared in his mind that Yao Rongfu raised his head slightly, held the three long beards under his jaw with his fingers, and said slowly and rationally in standard Shaanxi Mandarin.

During the whole banquet at noon, the new governor Yao Rongfu said a lot, but what impressed Tang Cheng the most was this sentence, "This matter... is better to make a long-term plan." Speaking of poetry, singing and dancing, when it comes to experience and hearing from all over the country, the new envoy was talking, and his eloquence and knowledge were excellent, but as long as the topic came to the Jinzhou government affairs, he would definitely be:

He raised his head slightly and stroked his beard, "This matter... is better to make a long-term plan."

"Mr. Yao is worthy of being a figure in the imperial capital, and his charm is very good, especially his three long beards, which are really known as Meiran Gong! As for his actions, it seems that he is very down-to-earth and his words are very cautious." After saying that, Tang Cheng waved his hand and returned to his office.

When he arrived in the room, Tang Cheng poured a cup of tea himself, thinking about Yao Rongfu's performance at noon, and compared with what Sun Envoy said that day, it was true.

This new Yao envoy is indeed very slippery! He has experienced the experience of the imperial city and is well aware of the specialty of Jinzhou, and is extremely cautious about political affairs. He really has achieved every word and sentence in line with the laws of the court. Once the things he said have no provisions and laws, he will definitely be a "long-term plan".

Based on the above, if you want to summarize the new envoy's behavior and future governance style in one sentence, Tang Cheng's first thought was - not seeking merit, and strive to ensure that there is no mistake.

With such a bureaucratic aura, how can I do the work? If you do it well, you will be responsible. If something goes wrong, you will be able to rely on him to help his subordinates. There is really no way to go!

Let’s wait for success! As Sun Envoy said that day, business affairs can be just passed, perhaps this will make Yao more satisfied. Tang Cheng thought about it for a while and after formulating the work policy of this Cao, his heart felt much more relaxed.

It’s not easy to be lazy if you want to work! Who can’t do it? Speaking of this, Master Xinjun is just right for Tang Cheng to have more time to spend on his studies.

With Lao Ma staring at him, it is inevitable to go up and down the yamen on time. Tang Cheng wondered if he would wait for the past few days and after Yao Jun got on the yamen, he moved some of the books and toner books from his home to the office room. Anyway, Cao Li was just so much official business, and Feng Haizhou and others were taking care of him. He was not a person who liked to take over power, so he would divide the amount when he should. He would try his best to relax in Cao Li. When the office door was closed, it would be a great study room...

Recite books, practice painting, and supervise official duties as long as there is no big mistake. Such days should be the legendary "half-official and half-hidden" in historical books. It is said that Wang Wei, the poet Buddha, is best at this. Now that he has this condition, Tang Cheng doesn't mind imitating the "Hou" Xianxian.

As expected, the matter was not as expected by Tang Cheng. After the food was settled, the Jinzhou Prefecture Office officially entered the state of peace, and the latest trend in the yamen became popular. The most commonly cited sentence was from Yao's envoy, "Poverty should be simple, but there is no way to do it."

Yao envoy was still useless and sought simplicity; Lao Ma had not recovered from the desperate blow of his career, and he was not mentally conscious; as a result, the entire Jinzhou Prefecture Courtyard was like a sheep was released, which was so relaxed and comfortable!

Well, if you do nothing, you do nothing. After Tang Cheng assigned all the business tasks one by one, he slowly brought some books to the office according to his initial plan. After spending one or two hours every day to do business, he spent the rest of his time doing his own things. Life was easy and happy.

The good times did not last long. Such good days were broken by an unexpected event.

The new Shannan East Road Observer came down to patrol. Yu Dongjun came down to patrol it was normal, but abnormally, he was too fast to get off. How many days did he have been in office? He couldn't wait to come. The route he set was from Daocheng to Fangzhou. On this route, Jinzhou, adjacent to Fangzhou, became an unavoidable stop.

The governors were both new members, but the difference between the two was really too big, and they were two extremes. One was too tired and the other was too anxious. They all hit Jinzhou this time, and some were busy. With a wry smile, put down the book in their hand, and Tang Cheng was involved in the preparations for the adults to welcome the observer.

"Haizhou, please take all the information near Fangzhou in our province and I will read it." After two months of prison, Feng Haizhou became more silent and became more careful in his work. Since returning to Sitian Cao at the beginning of the year, Tang Cheng trusted him more and basically handed over half of Cao Wu to him for processing. "By the way, I will also send the map of our province and the mountain and rivers of each county together."

Feng Haizhou had a mountain and river geography map in his armpit and held a thick stack of textbooks in his hand and walked in, "Sir, there are many textbooks, you are..."

"Prepare your homework", Tang Cheng took a copy of this article and sat down, "Okay, you can go ahead and go."

Even if the observation master arrived, he would not be able to take over the official position as Tang Jushi? He looked at Tang Chenghou who was looking at the papers facing the map. Feng Haizhou took the door and went out.

In addition to the affairs of Cao, Tang Cheng, a governor of Cao, was also responsible for the local area. After four or five days of busy work, everything was almost ready, the new observation of Yu Dongjun finally arrived.

At the East City Gate of Jinzhou, Yao Envoy, Ma Biejia and others were waiting here to welcome the East Army's chariot.

He looked at the official road in the distance. Yao Jun picked up the long beard under his jaw and asked slightly, "Chensheng, why did you think the master of Observation come to this state?"

The Ma Bie Jia looked a little depressed when he was looking into the distance. He turned his head away when he saw Yao Jun’s scorching official clothes, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes jumped slightly, taking advantage of the opportunity to cough to let his eyes avoid the blushing. Then he said casually: "Observe the master who came with the order of the Lord. As soon as he took office, he was eager to inspect the place. Let's look at the route arrangements of the inspection. It should be for road construction. I believe that this road from the road to Fangzhou must have passed through this prefecture."

"Well, what Chensheng said is very true." Yao Jun gently combed the long beard under his jaw with his fingers over and over again. "This is Your Majesty's long-cherished wish for many years, and I will never be neglected. If you observe that the adult really decided that the route was to go through Jinzhou to Fangzhou, then... Chensheng, we can't say that we should do our best."

Looking at Yao Envoy's ambition, he felt it was dazzling if he didn't want to be simple now. Why are you doing nothing? He is hypocritical. You still want to grab the merits? You can get the merits, but you have to work hard to death... No matter how old Ma complains, he can only nod and say yes.

Large-scale road construction like this is not a trivial matter. There are too many places involved. When Yao Jun, Ma and Zhang were about to get together, he heard a shocking sound of gongs coming from the front.

"Mr. Yu has arrived." Yao Jun, who had turned around, looked into the distance, then followed the three long beards under his jaw again, "Two masters, let's go, let's meet."

In Jinzhou City, Tang Cheng’s family.

"Acheng, why did you come back so early today?" Seeing Tang Cheng walk in, Li Yingwan came forward with a smile, "I just came back from the street and was about to go to the fragrant noodle shop to take a look. However, the street was full of tolerances, and the second uncle was also inside. He heard that it was an observation master who arrived, so the main street was not allowed. I still thought that you should be back late at night."

Tang Cheng put on a regular home furnishing and patted Li Yingwan's face, "I'm here because I'm here, but my position is too low now and I can't go to the official banquet."

While the two were talking, a girl outside walked in and reported that someone had sent the silk that the wife had ordered, and the man was in the doorman.

"Acheng. I'll go and have a look." After Li Yingwan had just left, Lancao walked in from outside. Seeing that there was no one in the house, she went straight to Tang Cheng and whispered: "Acheng, Xiaotao's injuries are almost recovered. She wants to inform her family."

"Tong News? What news? Tunnel her current residence? Let her family see her?" Seeing Lancao nodding, Tang Cheng's face darkened, "Nothing! The government has reported the fugitive slave affairs to the official. As Lao Ma's identity, the yamen is very hard to find. It's only a few days since she escaped? The news is still far from over. Maybe there is a tolerance guard on her family to stare at her. Isn't it a trick to get her family into hiding together?"

After saying this in a deep voice, Tang Chengsurong said to Lancao: "Tell Xiao Taoer to die as soon as possible. No matter it is for her or her family, she cannot do this."

"Yes," Lancao nodded when he heard this.

"As long as she lives there with peace of mind, it's okay," Tang Cheng comforted Lancao and said, "By the way, how did that Lai Fu recently?"

"He is still working in the Ma Mansion. Maybe he is very busy recently and hasn't been to Xiaotao's place in a few days."

"When I saw him again, I told him to do a good job in the house. I just ran away a little Tao before the New Year. If he ran away, it would be a big deal. At least I have to wait half a year before talking about it."

Lancao nodded, and after a while, Li Yingwan came back and said that the meal was ready.

Tang Chengzheng ate a Hu cake and reached for the second one. When he heard a burst of rapid footsteps outside the flower hall. When he turned his head to look, the girl led Zhang Xiangwen in with a bright tolerance suit.

"Second brother, why are you here?"

"Brother, let's go, Lord Jun tell you to ask questions," Zhang Xiangwen said, taking the Hu cake that Tang Cheng had just picked up in his hand and biting it hard, and said vaguely: "I've been busy for most of the time, and I'm not too hungry."

"Second uncle sit down and eat orchid, go and tell Gao's family to add some dishes and deliver them."

"Sister-in-law, don't be busy anymore, I have to leave now." Zhang Xiangwen stopped Lancao who was getting up, "Brother, let's go, Wanfulou is urging you so hard! I'm here to let you know when I exchanged a group with someone else."

"Eat slowly, don't choke." At this time, Tang Cheng didn't ask what was going on. He reached out and took a bottle of warm wine and took another piece of Hu cake and stuffed it into Zhang Xiangwen's hand, then got up and walked out.

Zhang Xiangwen seemed to be so hungry that he had finished eating the two Hu cakes before the bottle of warm wine arrived at the Tang family gate.

After eating, he wiped his mouth with his sleeves, and Zhang Xiangwen talked about the reason why he came here.

As the best restaurant in the prefecture city, the banquet in the Dongjun area was arranged to be held in Wanfu Building. Zhang Xiangwen and other two squads were arranged to be responsible for security guards here.

"What kind of ball is safe guard? Could it be that someone in Jinzhou City dares to assassinate and observe?". He was really busy and Zhang Xiangwen couldn't help complaining in front of Tang Cheng's ground.

"A person is an observer at least. He can't eat, there is no tolerance outside. OK, let's talk about the serious business."

"It was very good at the beginning, but later I sent a message saying that I would like to find you, brother. This is Lao Liu's job. Since I heard that you are the master of brother, I took over this job." Zhang Xiangwen, who walked out of the door, turned over and said, "Before I came, I asked someone to change the waiter who was serving above and asked, at least I figured out what was going on, and observed it and let the adults face it. You can't let Brother, you bump into the head without knowing anything."

The owner of Wanfu Building in Jinzhou is Zhang Xiangwen’s uncle, which is very convenient.

Tang Cheng didn't say anything when he heard this. He rode his horse and walked with Zhang Xiangwen, so he listened to him to explain in detail.

It turned out that this matter was still involved in road construction. However, the matter itself was very different from the meaning of Yao Envoy and others. Yao Envoy originally thought that this road should pass through Jinzhou. Since then, he should do his best to undertake the matter and do the job well. Observing that the envoy is still a small matter here, and the praise from His Majesty is Jingui. After all, according to the dialect of this route, if you come from Daocheng to Fangzhou, you will only pass two states in the middle. In this case, you will not erase the contribution of Yao Envoy.

Who knew that the route chosen by the adults was completely inconsistent with the route planned by Yao Envoy. The road was even more easterly. In this way, it only passed two states in the middle, but it barely passed by Jinzhou. The longest range of the land it touched was less than thirty miles.

Less than thirty miles! Compared with the entire road, it was a drop in the bucket. Just as Ren Yao was exhausted. What kind of credit can he get with such a distance? I am afraid that the whole road would be completed and Yu Dongjun would not even mention his name when he wrote a memorial note.

As a result, Yao Envoy's heart suddenly became as cold as the temperature outside. If only this was the case, it would be fine. The place where Jinzhou was rubbed was at the junction of two roads. It was like the East Road of Shannan, where mountains and forests were densely packed, often meant a nest of unruly people with poor mountains and bad waters.

There is no credit for just a distance of less than thirty miles, but if it really takes care of it, it is troublesome and inevitable. In this way, the slippery Yao Jun naturally remembered "to be simple and do nothing". He dared not contradict this matter in person, but with the pushing skills he had practiced in the imperial city for many years, he smiled and showed them all.

It is difficult to do things, but it is not easy to make excuses if you don’t want to do things alone? What’s more, the people’s sentiments in that place are already complicated. Yao Jun did not say the word “no” in his mouth, but the difficulties are also tough. Such difficulties are not only in front of Yu Dongjun, but also in the court, but in front of His Majesty, he also talks about them all over the place.

The new observation of Shandong Dongdao made Yu Dongjun a technician, and his ability to play a role is far worse than Yao Rongfu. At the end of the two, the topic pointed to the same person - Tian Cao Judgment Si of Jinzhou State Yashi Tang Cheng.

The road construction requires land, and Jinzhou land, acres, mountains, rivers and rivers are under the jurisdiction of Sitian Cao. If you want to ask for details, you will naturally have to find Tang Cheng.

"Brother, there are just a few difficulties that Yao Envoy has raised. You will follow this when you go up later." Zhang Xiangwen smiled and said, "Maybe, Lord Yu's fingers are a little bit off. The road construction matter has nothing to do with our Jinzhou."

After Zhang Xiangwen finished speaking, he did not see Tang Cheng answering. When he turned around, he saw him riding on the horse and thinking about something, "Big Brother".

"Hmm?" Tang Cheng turned his face and came over.

"Did you remember what I just said?"
