Everyone's eyes were burning with anger, and they focused on the third room Su Bude.
If Sanfang had this intention, no one present could spare him.
Without the clan leader's orders, everyone would definitely rush forward and knock the third family off the stage.
Not only will he be beaten violently, but he will most likely be beaten to death.
If nothing else, you are not giving the entire family a way to survive and are causing public outrage.
Erfang glanced at the people present, knowing that he had provoked a fight among the people present.
Although his face was dull, he was actually very happy.
In order to cover up his joy in others' misfortune, he hurriedly drank tea to cover it up.
But Su Buqing, the second roommate, was so excited that she choked on her tea and looked extremely embarrassed.
He hurriedly wiped his mouth with his sleeve to make himself look less cruel.
Fortunately, everyone's eyes were focused on Sanfang, and not many people noticed him.
Patriarch Su Buqi couldn't help frowning, Sanfang was doing a disservice.
Seeing everyone's raging anger, the third room hurriedly explained: "Second room, that's not what the third room meant."
"Third room, don't you mean this or something else?" The second room did not let him go.
Seeing the second room digging a hole for himself, the third room certainly would not jump in, and quickly declared: "Of course we will not give another penny to Xu Zhixian."
"What does Sanfang mean?" Patriarch Su Buqi asked at this time. He wanted to hear Sanfang's explanation.
After all, the third room is still on his side, and he doesn't want the third room to force the second room to hold his head up.
The third brother, Su Bude, glanced at the clan leader gratefully. He suppressed his excitement and bowed his hands: "Clan leader, Chidao is eighty miles away. The Su family has built ten or even twenty miles of Chidao. Isn't that what you're going to do?"
When the people present heard this, it was as if a stone had been dropped into the lake, and ripples suddenly appeared.
Everyone whispered to each other and discussed the feasibility.
The second room was caught off guard by the third room, and was a little stunned for a moment.
But after all, he was a cunning and cunning person, so he immediately grasped the weakness: "Third room, does Xu Zhixian agree?"
"Nephew Qing is the transfer envoy, and the Su family is the largest household and aristocratic family in Lingquan County. Of course, Xuzhi County must consider it." Sanfang was already prepared and responded unhurriedly.
When everyone present heard this, they all considered this possibility.
"Thirteenth Master, is what Sanfang said feasible?" A disciple of the Su family named Su Jian asked the one next to him named Su Li.
The one named Su Li thought for a while and replied: "Shiro, no matter what, the Su family is the largest family in Lingquan County, and it has the support of Su Hanqing. He will definitely consider it."
"It's hard to say that Xu Zhixian is the grandnephew and niece-in-law of the two father-in-laws of the dynasty. With such a big backer, there is no need to buy it." The man named Su Jian shook his head.
Su Li thought for a while and expressed his opinion: "That's not necessarily true. Now that Su has proposed to participate in the good deeds, he has donated the most, and he has done upright good deeds. The officialdom is very complicated, and Xuzhi County is a People may not be able to bear it.”
"It's possible if the Su family doesn't have a big appetite." Su Jian touched his chin and said something vague.
Su Li stared at him: "It's a full eighty miles from Lingquan County to Chengdu. Su's proposal of twenty miles is not enough."
"Is it asking for a high price and then paying back the money?" Su Jian thought as he read, "No matter what, as long as the Su family proposes it, Xuzhi County will have to consider it."
Su Li thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. After all, the magistrate considered it from the perspective of the entire county.
But no matter what, Xuzhi County cannot exclude the Su family.
The two of them are discussing the possibilities here, while other people from the Su family are considering it from another angle.
Building roads and bridges is not only a simple matter of accumulating good deeds, but it is actually rich in resources.
After all, there are many areas for making fuss about personnel expenses, earthwork, rice, flour, oil, etc.
Isn't it? Teng Zijing's construction of Yueyang Tower not only gained the reputation of being a good and virtuous person throughout the world through Fan Wenzheng's composition, but also brought indescribable benefits.
It can be said that Teng Zijing's reconstruction of Yueyang Tower fulfilled both of them.
The first is Chengquan Teng Zijing. Although he was relegated to Baling, he was able to manage politics and people, and built the Yueyang Tower, which is a symbol of his concern for the country and the people, his loyalty to the emperor and his patriotism.
The second is to fulfill Duke Wen of Fan, and also gain a tall image of caring about the country and the people, being loyal and patriotic through writing "The Story of Yueyang Tower", which laid the foundation for him to win Duke Wen Zheng.
Compared with Chidao, Yueyang Tower pales in comparison.
Yueyang Tower is just a scenic spot, while Chidao is a project that benefits thousands of people's descendants.
It can be said that if you participate in the construction of Chidao, you will not only gain dignity, but also gain face.
You know, there are only two people in the world who have built Chidao.
One is Qin Shihuang who unified the world, and the other is a little saint.
Although Qin Shihuang was the first to build it, his Chidao has been basically destroyed.
The Little Sage was the second person to build Chidao, but his Chidao was better than Qin Shihuang's.
Qin Shihuang's Chi Dao could only be used by himself, and was specially used for him to patrol the world.
The little saint's Chidao was not only stronger than his, but also benefited thousands of people.
In fact, the effect of the little saint's construction of Chidao is of course different from that of the Su family. At most, he has the icing on the cake effect.
Because the little saint has already become famous all over the world, and he also has wealth that is unparalleled in the country.
What is their Su family? They are just a prominent family in Lingquan County. At most they are somewhat famous in Chengdu.
Not only did the little saint's fame trample the entire Su family under his feet, but his financial resources also trampled them under his feet.
Therefore, for the little saint, it was an extremely ordinary thing, but for the Su family, it was a grand and grand event to honor the ancestors.
If the Su family participates in this kind of Chidao that benefits thousands of people for future generations, the impact will definitely not be on Chengdu Prefecture, nor Chengdu Prefecture Road, nor Sichuan, but the entire world.
Even if it means going bankrupt to build a highway, it is worth it for this world-shaking reputation.
The reason why some people are willing to ask Li Bai for help is nothing more than reputation. Therefore, if the Su family participates in the construction of Chidao, they will definitely become one of the first-class families in Chengdu Fulu and even Sichuan.
Because this is the first time that aristocratic families have participated in the construction of Chidao, and it is also the first time in the world that Chidao has been built in the name of a county.
Thinking of this feat that could be recorded in history, the teacups in the hands of everyone in the Su family became unstable, and some even spilled the tea.
They looked at each other and paid no attention to this.
Even if someone pays attention to this, they only smile slightly.
This matter is so exciting that all the Su family members may have insomnia tonight.
Just when everyone in the Su family was having sweet dreams, someone suddenly made a discordant voice.
Su Buqing, the second roommate, looked at everyone's expressions and wondered what they were thinking.
He decided to pour a basin of cold water on these, and suddenly sneered: "Whether Xuzhi County agrees or not, I will not consider it for the time being. Chidao is not an ordinary road. It requires the use of immortal cement and immortal concrete, which the Su family does not know."
When the people present heard this, they immediately felt like they had fallen from heaven to hell.
The reason why the little saint was able to build Chidao was because he mastered the unique technology in the world.
Thinking of this, everyone present immediately calmed down, with a look of sadness on their faces, and they couldn't help but turn their eyes to the third room.
Sanfang, what's the use of talking empty words like this?
"Everyone, this third room has been considered for a long time. My grandson Xiaomang has been working in the Zhaojiazhuang Jianfang for three months and has also been a small foreman. It is just right for him to come back and set up the Jianfang." Su Bude drank tea calmly. He looked at everyone present who looked confused and answered calmly.
The people present could not help but be shocked. They did not expect that Sanfang had such long-term considerations.
Just as the Ministry of Industry ranks behind the Sixth Ministry, building roads and bridges is indeed a hard and dirty job.
The first choice for these disciples from aristocratic families is to study and pursue an official career, such as Su Hanqing.
If you don’t really have the materials to study, you can also farm.
Of course, the Su family has thousands of acres of fertile land, so there is no need to cultivate it by themselves.
At most, during the spring plowing season, for the sake of a good harvest, one can learn spring plowing from the officials and just make a few demonstrations.
In fact, there is another way out. In order to find more money, it is not impossible to go out to do business. Anyway, the Song Dynasty is relatively relaxed towards businessmen, and some businessmen even wear official uniforms.
Not only is this aristocratic family like theirs, even those powerful people in the Song Dynasty, who are not doing business?
But no one is willing to do the hard, tiring and dirty work of building roads.
Su Shi never expected that Sanfang would be willing to send his own son to work in the Little Sage's workshop.
Why did Sanfang do this? Is it for the position of patriarch?
If the third room really makes the Su family famous, the position of patriarch is not impossible.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked, even Su Buqi's expression changed drastically.
Seeing Su Buqi's ugly face, Su Bude hurriedly explained: "Patriarch, my grandson Xiao Mang is not good at studying, so we have to arrange for him to go to Zhaojiazhuang to build a workshop and learn a skill so that he can have a living in the future."
"The third room really has a good vision." After hearing this, Su Buqi's face looked a little better.
When everyone heard this, they started talking and whispering among themselves.
What Su Bude said was indeed reasonable. How could he expect that the new magistrate would build Chi Road?
But no matter what, three-bedroom apartments are indeed far-sighted, and some people are even comparing them to larger apartments and two-bedroom apartments.
As the clan leader and deputy clan leader, they should naturally have a long-term perspective.
But I really didn't expect that as the clan leader and deputy clan leader, the two people's vision was not as good as that of Sanfang.
Human beings are just so realistic. Of course we must be benevolent, righteous, propriety, wisdom and trustworthy. These are the basic principles of being a human being.
But when it conflicts with interests, people must make a difficult choice between the two.
As a Han Chinese, we must pay attention to benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, otherwise there will be no difference from the Hu people.
However, if you always pay attention to benevolence, justice, etiquette, wisdom and trust, you will not only constrain yourself, but also block the progress of life.
For example, when you encounter a thief who is robbing someone on the road, what's the use of just trying to rob him?
What is benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, and trust are people's face, and this must be paid attention to.
However, interests are closely related to everyone's personal interests. This is a matter of pride, but it has to be considered.
For example, in the face of life and death, how many people can adhere to benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust?
Therefore, Guan Zhong, the prime minister of Qi, said: If you have enough warehouses, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.
What is a true gentleman? He must be benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and trustworthy, and he must also obtain legitimate interests.
Therefore, he must do everything comprehensively and considerately without any loopholes.
Then someone must ask, isn’t this a hypocrite?
No, there is a difference between a gentleman and a hypocrite.
A gentleman is upright and upright, and he does what he says; a hypocrite is duplicitous, and he talks like farts.
It is difficult to be a human being, even more difficult to be a Han Chinese, and the most difficult to be a gentleman.
What Su didn't expect was that God would now give him this opportunity.
Building Chidao can not only become an upright gentleman, but also gain the appearance of practical interests.
Thinking of this, everyone already treated Sanfang as the patriarch in their hearts.
Su Buqi and Su Buqing were no exception. They looked at each other with horrified looks.
The eldest bedroom and the second bedroom were fighting to the death, but the third bedroom actually stepped on the eldest bedroom and the second bedroom without saying a word.
Lingquan County Yamen.
Xu Yue sat in the public room, put down the official document in his hand, rubbed his forehead, and told Xu, a staff member of about fifty, "Go and call Chief Chen."
"Okay, officer." Xu bowed and walked towards the other public house.
After all, it was Xu Yue's first time as a county magistrate, and he was overwhelmed with a lot of official duties.
Although he is busy with official duties, he feels that he is much more fulfilled than in Ba County.
Although the county magistrate is of higher rank than the chief registrar, he is still an assistant official and must act according to the county magistrate's wishes.
It's really different when he becomes the county magistrate. In Lingquan County, he is still the one who speaks and counts.
Although the lady Xie Lingmo is not very beautiful, she does have extraordinary insights. Now Chidao's proposal has not only shocked Lingquan County, but also Chengdu and even Chengdu Fulu.
When he first came to Lingquan County, the staff member Xu looked aloof.
Seeing that he was his uncle, he was young and inexperienced, so he had to endure it.
Unexpectedly, after he proposed to build Chidao, his staff immediately changed their faces and became respectful and listened attentively.
Looking at the back of clan uncle Xu, Xu Yue showed a smile on his face and drank a few more sips of Zui Chunfeng.
The drunken spring breeze was a little bitter at first, but became sweet after a while.
For people in official circles, Zui Chunfeng is indeed an irreplaceable weapon.
No matter how groggy the brain is, after a few sips of the drunken spring breeze, the energy comes back again.
Chen Qin followed Xu cautiously, fearing that the sound of his footsteps would affect the official duties of the county magistrate.
He was a little overconfident at first, thinking that he was the land god of Lingquan County and Xu Yue could not leave him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this Chidao was proposed, it would attract the attention of Chengdu Prefecture, Chengdu Prefecture Road, and even the entire Sichuan.
Chen Qinai is a veteran in the officialdom. He knows that this can not only gain a reputation for good deeds and virtues, but also earn money.
No, the head of the Chen family clan he belongs to has already talked to him and said that he will definitely participate in the construction of Chidao this time.
Although he is the chief registrar, he only has the power to make suggestions and not to make decisions.
So he had to be careful, fearing that he would make Xu Zhixian angry, otherwise he would be doomed.
Xu Yue saw that Chen Qin had a lot of gray hair and wrinkles, and felt that he was more than enough to be his father.
His heart softened. After all, he was an outsider and had to rely on Chen Qin, the land god. So he pointed to the chair and said: "Master Chen, please sit down."
"There is no place for a lower official to sit in front of the magistrate." A flattering smile appeared on Chen Qin's face.
Xu Yue couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect that Chen Qin, who had been a little proud a few days ago, would be like this.
Xu Yue was secretly proud and asked with a calm expression: "How does the workshop in Zhaojiazhuang react to the accumulation of good deeds?"
"I'm telling you, your lord, these workshops in Zhaojiazhuang have just been established, and not much tax has been collected!" Chen Qin's face turned bitter. He didn't expect to encounter a hard nail in Zhaojiazhuang.
Xu Yue was furious and pointed with his sleeves at the construction site outside: "Building roads and building bridges is a matter of accumulating good deeds. Now even ordinary people, including Milkman, have donated money. Why haven't these workshops in Zhaojiazhuang taken action?"
"Let me tell you, sir, these workshops in Zhaojiazhuang have been established less than half a year ago and have just been put into operation. How can there be much economic benefit?" Chen Qin explained bravely.
Xu Yue also hoped that the workshops in Zhaojiazhuang would take the lead, but he did not expect that Zhaojiazhuang would ignore his workshop at all.
Xu Yue glared at him and walked around the case several times.
He felt something was wrong, looked at Chen Qin and asked: "Isn't Zhaojiazhuang the richest in the world? Why is there no profit?"
After speaking, he looked at Chen Qin with doubt on his face.
"Let me tell you, your lord, Zhaojiazhuang has indeed spent a lot of money. For example, it has built a twenty-mile immortal cement road between Taoyuan Town and the county seat, and also built a Taoyuan Lake in Taoyuan Town, which cost tens of thousands of copper coins. But these are also things to accumulate good deeds. The government Not a penny was paid, all was invested by Zhaojiazhuang himself." Chen Qin looked at Xu Yue and carefully explained, "Strictly speaking, Zhaojiazhuang not only does not lack the government, but the government actually lacks Zhaojiazhuang."
You haven't taken any action yet, you're just still talking about building Chidao in a big way.
Look, look, Zhaojiazhuang has done it quietly, and it has been very successful.
"No, since the Zhaojiazhuang workshop has no money, how can it have the money to build these?" Xu Yue heard this, thought for a while, and his suspicion became more serious.
Chen Qin smiled bitterly and carefully explained: "Although the Zhaojiazhuang workshop in Lingquan County has no money, the Zhaojiazhuang workshop in Jintang County has money, and the Zhaojiazhuang workshop in Changyuan County has money. The little saint can mobilize the money to do what he wants to do. "
"Have the taxes paid by Zhaojiazhuang Workshop this year been paid?" Xu Yue was determined to check carefully to see if there were any loopholes.
Chen Qin opened the account book and looked at it: "The tax has been paid and turned in. There is no shortage."
"They didn't get that much advantage, so they just said they paid less. If they pay more, they have to pay more, they have to pay again." Xu Yue gritted his teeth and showed a ferocious look.
Later, his voice unknowingly became louder and shriller.
Chen Qin was shocked, with a wry smile on his face: "Sir, they paid a lot."
"Tell me, how much did they turn over?" Xu Yue looked at him and asked.
"The commercial tax of the Song Dynasty was only half, but Zhaojiazhuang took the initiative to pay 10%." Afraid that Xu Yue would not believe it, Chen Qin turned out the account book, pointed to the numbers above and said, "Zhaojiazhuang's kind of tax payment is unique in the entire Song Dynasty. "
Xu Yue took the account book and flipped through it carefully.
He thought about it for a while, looked at the sky, frowned and said: "Those ordinary people have donated money. Why should a workshop as big as Zhaojiazhuang donate money to accumulate good deeds?"
"I have donated, all of them have been donated." Chen Qin hurriedly reported, "The wine shop donated 100 guan of copper coins and 100 catties of fine wine; the demon taro shop donated 500 guan of copper coins and 1,000 catties of demon taro powder; the immortal cement workshop donated One thousand copper coins, one hundred thousand catties of fairy cement."
Having said this, Chen Qin looked at Xu Yue carefully and saw that he was deep in thought.
Xu Yue was thinking on the surface, but he was actually quite satisfied in his heart.
This is what Xu Mou, an aide, told him. As a county magistrate, don't show your expression in front of your subordinates easily.
When your emotions are not known to your subordinates, when your personality is not known to them, and when your emotions are not understood by your subordinates, you can better control your subordinates.
Although he is cunning and cunning, Chen Qin is not bad either. After all, he is twice as old as him and he is a veteran in officialdom.
Seeing that Xu Yue didn't show any satisfaction, he knew that Xu Yue was actually quite satisfied.
"Sir, the Xiaguan family also wants to participate in the construction of Chidao, which is a good place for good deeds. I wonder if that's okay?" Thinking of the family's instructions, Chen Qin suppressed his heart racing rapidly, bowed his hands, and asked respectfully.
Xuzhi County, you eat a lot of meat, why don't you give your subordinates a sip of soup, Chen Qin thought.
