Chapter 196 Prefect, hurry up and make money for me!
Mother helps you become famous, and your fame must be valuable, and the value is reflected in making money!
Join!
Qi Guiruan took a breath of air.
In recent days, he had heard that businessmen from all over the country went to Yong'an Mansion to discuss papermaking and printing. Businessmen even bid privately to buy out the Chu family's craftsmanship.
They also tried every means to get in touch with the craftsmen in the engraving workshop, hoping to poach them to work for themselves, and offered extremely high prices.
I don’t understand how this man Qing Qing achieved the position of Duke of the country today!
Acting in such a high-profile manner and showing off your abilities to everyone: you dare to hire a group of refugees to do work. Isn't this just waiting for others to learn their skills so that they can change jobs?
Any family that has good craftsmanship and formulas hides it, for fear that outsiders will learn it; but the Chu family is so busy that they are afraid that others will not know about it, and they are afraid that others will not come to pry it!
Just like this, the Chu family didn't take it seriously, and they talked with these businessmen about "franchising" in a high-profile manner, and they also proposed various methods, such as franchise franchise, voluntary franchise, etc. It was really ignorant!
Qi Guiran believes that this is the "return to glory" stage of Yong'an Mansion. When the last bit of human resources in this area is hollowed out, Yong'an Mansion will be abolished.
Don't be too public, otherwise you will not only lose money, but also cause disasters, man-made disasters! Hmph!
This was also the reason why he was eager to leave Yong'an Mansion - if he stayed any longer, he would probably be demoted.
Qi Guiran said: "Uh... Your Majesty has a wonderful idea. I will consider it carefully. If possible, I will raise money to buy a bookshop, haha."
Expressing his rejection tactfully, Qi Guiran said in his heart: I will not be fooled by you!
Xiaobao is not worried that Qi Guiran and others are unwilling to work hard. His mother said: "If you do well, stay and let them continue to work. If you don't do well, you will be demoted in place to cause trouble for them, and then continue to stay."
Keep doing it.”
At this time, Chu Qing said to Qi Guiran: "President Qi, you must distinguish between public and private matters. Buying books, for example, is your private matter, so you don't need to mention it to me;
The monument is a private matter of my government. The land on which the monument is built was purchased by my government, and the workers were hired by the government. It is not your government’s affairs, so you don’t have to worry about it;
Even the residence of the Duke of our country can be built by myself, but for the cost, you must hurry up and contact the Ministry of Revenue. The palace pays for my residence. This is a public matter, and you, the prefect, must fulfill your duties;
I built the mansion on my own to share the worries of the government, but you cannot treat it as my private matter, otherwise, you will be derelict in your duties;
I don’t need you to supervise the construction, but as the prefect, you have to contribute money on behalf of the court. Do you understand?
This is all a trivial matter. I would like to ask you, have the resettlement of the refugees been completed? Why are the streets still so chaotic?
How much wasteland has been opened? In two months, summer harvest will begin in other state capitals. How many areas of the wasteland you have opened have been sown?
Also, any businessman can enter my temporary government palace. Let me ask you, how do you manage the security in the city?"
Smoke was almost coming out of Qi Guiran's head. He was both angry and anxious!
The Martyrs Monument is considered the private property of the government? How is this allowed? How can political events exclude our government office?
Also, everyone knows that there is no farmland in Haizhou Prefecture. What do you want from me to open up wasteland and farm? Isn’t Mr. Yong’an the best at farming?!
In fact, the so-called original Haizhou Prefecture had no cultivated land refers to a large area of cultivated land that has no official records.
Because this is the southernmost point of Daxuan, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a peninsula. The original Haizhou Prefecture was shaped like a melon seed, with the tip of the melon seed extending into the ocean. It should be said that half of the prefecture is a peninsula.
This is the place where Daxuan was exiled. Criminals were sent to mining areas such as coal mining and quarrying. The land reclaimed by the prisoners and their families was also scattered here and there, without forming a large scale.
Moreover, once the prisoners were reinstated, no one would cultivate the reclaimed land.
The aborigines made a living by fishing, and some prisoners also fished to beg food from the sea.
Another reason is that half of the area extends into the sea. Even if the land is reclaimed, it will eventually be swallowed up by the sea.
"In addition, the country is based on the people, and food is the first priority for the people," Duke Yong'an said again: "Currently, Yong'an Mansion relies on the food and industry support of our government. It is me who supports tens of thousands of people. You, the prefect,
What are you doing?
Magistrate Qi, you are the chief executive of Yong'an Prefecture. You are in charge of the government's decrees, and you are in charge of all counties. You are responsible for announcing national decrees, governing the people, hearing and deciding lawsuits, inspecting traitors, assessing subordinate officials, collecting taxes and other government affairs.
It’s all your responsibility;
I have ten thousand households of food, when will you pay me back? Now, when will you pay me back for the expenses that I have to feed the whole family?"
Oops, this is so fucking annoying! Qi Guiran, who hates women gesticulating in front of him the most, now has to bow down and listen to instructions.
In the end, Qi Zhizhou didn't even dare to fart, and walked away in despair, wiping away cold sweat.
"If you don't farm the land properly for me and make money, you only want to get benefits from me!" Chu Qing looked at his back and cursed.
Qi Guiran's figure swayed - can't you wait until I'm far away and can't hear you before you scold me?
"Every day, there are always unscrupulous officials who want to harm me!" Chu Qing did not expect that there would be so many unkind things during the party with Qiu Sheng, leaving Qiu Sheng waiting in the backyard for nothing.
"Qiu Sheng," Chu Qing said as soon as he came back: "Come, go to the kitchen with aunt, let's make something delicious!"
Qiu Sheng came here with the refugees all the way, so he couldn't afford food and drink. He was from the north, and the food in Yong'an Mansion was obviously not to his liking. The young man had lost a lot of weight these days compared with when he came here, and his cheeks were retracted, so he had to make up for it.
Chu Qing took Qiu Sheng and Xiao Bao to work in the kitchen. The three of them were all very skilled in cooking, making buns, stewing pork ribs... Chu Zhuang and the others were surprised that this new magistrate could also cook.
"Auntie, I learned how to make buns from you!" Qiu Sheng said while making buns: "Do you still remember when you taught us in the village, 'A gentleman is far away from the cook'?"
Having said this, it had been twelve years, and Chu Qing suddenly realized that life was passing by so fast: "At that time, you didn't like to talk much. I already knew your mother and uncle, and I didn't know which one was you."
When Qiu Sheng's mother was mentioned, Chu Qing remembered one thing: "Your mother and daughter-in-law will be arriving in a few days. It's hard to say which day it will be;
We are going to hold the unveiling ceremony of the monument in five days and hold a banquet for my adopted son and daughter-in-law. I might not be able to pick up your mother in person, okay?"
Qiu Sheng: "Auntie, you don't need to go to pick me up personally, and I won't go either. The unveiling ceremony is very important. Since I come to work in this place that has suffered a major disaster, I have to take responsibility;
When the time comes, I will bring all the county government officials to participate so that they can receive education. As officials, they must serve the people and cannot run away first when a disaster strikes!"
Xiaobao interjected: "It's okay if you don't go to pick them up. I've already sent someone to pick them up. When they come back, someone will naturally notify them in advance. It's not certain where they are coming back from."
