Chapter 454
When Lin Zhihuang and Wen Nanfang walked into the big study, Yang Xitong was in the study, crouching at his desk to approve the detailed reports that came from below. Major matters were picked out and put aside, and they were forwarded to Lin Zhihuang for decision-making. The rest were traced.
Things that can be followed will be dealt with directly according to past practice.
"Lord." Yang Xitong saw Lin Zhihuang and Wen Nanfang coming in from the corner of his eye. He immediately put down the brush in his hand, stood up in an orderly manner, and saluted Lin Zhihuang.
"No need to be polite." Lin Zhihuang smiled and waved, walked to his desk and sat down.
Yang Xitong took back his hand as instructed, nodded to Wen Nannan who came in with his lord, then sat down again and continued to deal with the matters at hand.
Wen Nanfang also nodded to Yang Xitong as a greeting, and then sat down in front of the desk opposite him.
After Lin Zhihuang sat down, he was not in a hurry to deal with official business first. He held his head and thought for a while, and suddenly said to Yang Xitong with great interest: "Jun listen, I have something for you. You can use it and give it to me."
King Yu Lu."
"What is it?" Seeing that Lin Zhihuang wanted to talk to him, Yang Xitong moved the things on the table aside for the time being.
Wen Nanfang, who was on the side, immediately understood what Lin Zhihuang was talking about, and couldn't help laughing and said: "My lord, are you going to ask counselor Yang to present the drawings of the waterwheel to King Lu?"
Lin Zhihuang immediately gave Wen Nanfang one, or you know my look: "Exactly."
When Yang Xitong heard what the two people said, he immediately understood what Lin Zhihuang wanted him to donate to King Lu. He was surprised and said: "Waterwheel? My subordinates have learned about this thing during this period. It is very wonderful. Not only can it
Freeing up extra labor can increase the grain production of the land under the lord's rule, which is a wonderful thing. It is not an exaggeration to try to hide this thing from the eyes and ears of King Lu, so why should we take the initiative to offer it to King Lu?
"
After hearing Yang Xitong's question, Wen Nanfang recounted to him in detail what Shu Kongru and Lin Zhihuang had just discussed.
After hearing this, Yang Xitong understood clearly, and he bowed his hands to Lin Zhihuang in admiration and said: "My lord cares about the people and does not care about personal gains and losses. He is a man of great love. My subordinates admire him."
People in this era mostly express their emotions and will not hide their thoughts deliberately. Most people will speak out directly. This is also a way to enhance feelings between subordinates in this era.
Lin Zhihuang has been here for a long time, and now he has many talented people under his command. He has long been accustomed to praise. He nodded calmly, regarded it as a compliment to Yang Xitong, and continued: "Shu Kongru will be in the same place."
Over time, I have been selling this waterwheel production blueprint to make money. The subsequent waterwheel production blueprint will basically be semi-public. But at this time, this blueprint is still a good thing, and no one except me has it. How about taking this opportunity to give it to me first?
I hear you donate this thing to King Lu so that it can be sold well in front of King Lu."
Yang Xitong immediately squinted his eyes and took over Lin Zhihuang's words with a smile: "King Lu was naturally overjoyed to get this wonderful thing, and he would not question his subordinates' loyalty to him. Even if everyone has the blueprint of this wonderful thing in the future,
Yes, but in King Lu's view, it is also something beyond the control of his subordinates. Who can predict the subsequent development of things? His subordinates may be 'incompetent', but in King Lu's view, their loyalty to him, then
There is no doubt about it.”
Lin Zhihuang curled his lips and his eyes were full of smiles: "Actually, I took out this thing when King Lu was still in Lixian County. I had no intention of hiding this thing from King Lu, and even more so from my father.
I presented this thing to King Lu with the intention of selling it well. Who would have thought that King Lu's men really didn't care about the people's livelihood in the place where they were. No one discovered this thing and reported it to King Lu. It was really shocking.
People are surprised.”
When Yang Xitong heard this, he thought of the frustration he felt when working under King Lu in the past, and mocked: "The counselors brought out by King Lu on the expedition are all his favorites. Among all the counselors, these counselors can be defeated by Lu."
King, please pay attention, because all their minds are spent on intrigues and pleasing King Lu, so how can they pay attention to anything else?"
"As for the generals, they are all training their soldiers. When they are free, they all have their own thoughts on pleasing King Lu, and they will not notice this."
Hearing Yang Xitong's words, Lin Zhihuang's long-standing doubts were solved, and he raised his eyebrows in an interesting way: "Haha, so to speak, I heard that he was also one of those people who was intrigued and flirtatious at the time.
A member?"
Yang Xitong rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "If this were not the case, how could my subordinates offer advice to King Lu and ask you to be the governor of this place? I just want to get the attention of King Lu and don't want to be forced by you in the end.
...cough........."
This origin is funny even to say now.
When Lin Zhihuang and Wen Nanfang saw that Yang Xitong's neck turned red with embarrassment, they both laughed. For a moment, the atmosphere in the study became soothing and harmonious.
After some chatting and laughing, Yang Xitong was completely integrated into the group, and the sense of alienation between the few people suddenly disappeared.
After laughing, the three of them moved to the tea table in the study room, preparing to make tea and discuss matters.
Wen Nanfang had no plans to make tea this time, so he left the task of making tea to Yang Xitong.
Yang Xitong had no objection to this, and rolled up his sleeves rather show off and started making tea.
Lin Zhihuang sat down cross-legged and asked: "Is Guan Fuqing handling the public affairs of Lixian County?"
"Yes, Guan Fuqing has been in charge. This time Lixian County suffered a bandit disaster. Except for Bi County, Chang County and the county magistrate of He County, all the other county magistrates died. The person who temporarily replaced the county magistrate of He County was Lin.
The county magistrate made the appointment before he resigned, and Guan Fuqing did not intervene. The people who temporarily held the post of county magistrate in the other two counties were all appointed by his subordinates." Yang Xitong has been dealing with the detailed reports submitted by him in the past few days.
, knew these things very well, and when Lin Zhihuang asked, he immediately replied.
Lin Zhihuang thought for a while and asked: "How are the two people who have been appointed as temporary county magistrates by Guan Fu Qingtui doing?"
Yang Xitong poured a cup of brewed tea for Lin Zhihuang and replied: "They all come from poor families, do good things, and are practical people. I don't know where Fuqing dug these people out. People from poor families.
, If you want to learn some knowledge, it is basically as difficult as climbing to the sky. It’s quite surprising that there are so many at once.”
When Yang Xitong was talking, Lin Zhihuang saw that the tea in front of him had cooled down. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, then silently put down the tea cup. He thought to himself that it was so bitter that Yang Xitong was so good at making tea.
, there are a lot of temperature differences in the south.
Wen Nanfang took a sip of tea and said slowly: "These people should have been working under Guan Fuqing before. Due to their background, they have never had a chance to get ahead. Guan Fuqing now has some power in his hands, so he
