After receiving the letter from the previous chapter, a discussion was held in the government office.
After Tan Junyan in the household room reported his work, it was the turn of other departments.
Of course, this order was the result of the officials' deliberate humility. Who asked him to tell someone that he was an old friend of the prefect?
Even among subordinates at the same level, there are senior officials and subordinate officials. The truth behind this can only be understood but cannot be explained in words.
At this time, the prison manager Zhang Li came out and said: "Sir Qi, the current public security situation in our government is very different from what it was six months ago. It cannot be said to be peaceful, but it is also stable. There are very few criminals.
.”
This is a good thing.
At the same time, it also proves a truth. The best way to solve public security is not to increase deterrence, but to increase employment. Just imagine, everyone has something to do and makes money, who will do illegal things?
Qi Yu nodded with satisfaction and said some words of encouragement.
Seeing his superior's humor, Zhang Li also joked: "If it weren't for those yellow-haired ghosts from the Franji Kingdom you captured, our torture chamber would have been almost emptied."
Qi Yu replied sternly: "By the way, you must keep an eye on these ghost guys. Why do I expect them to exchange money?"
"Uh...yes!"
Zhang Li looked confused when he heard this, but Mr. Qi had no intention of explaining, so he had to suppress his confusion in his stomach.
Next person!
Ren Yu, the manager of the workshop, stood up and said: "Master Qi, at present, various construction projects in our government are being carried out in sequence, such as building bridges, building roads, and building factories. They are all proceeding in an orderly and orderly manner."
"Yes, Not Bad."
"The construction of Qiongzhou Fuxue, Qiongzhou Institute of Technology, and the Science and Technology Research Institute that you are more concerned about are now nearing completion. Please choose a date to come and inspect them."
This is the benefit of sufficient finance. At the very least, it can ensure that planned projects will not be interrupted or unfinished.
Of course, this is also due to the Annan workers who work hard day and night to contribute to the construction of Qiongzhou.
Qi Yu was very satisfied with what he heard and said, "I will go and see it someday. Is there anything else besides these?"
"Yes!" Ren Yu lowered his voice and said, "Those sets you asked me to build in private...what are they called?"
"It's a villa."
"Yes, yes, the craftsmen have already roughly built it according to your drawings. There are only some decorations left. If nothing goes wrong, you can move in before the end of the year."
Haha, another good thing.
It seems that this year’s Spring Festival will be celebrated in my own private home.
That’s it, next one!
Liu Shicheng, the manager of the ceremony room, came out and said: "Master Qi, the college textbooks you asked your subordinates to print have all been bound into volumes. Please take the time to check them to see if there are any omissions and fallacies. There is also another
Regarding the completion ceremony of the government school and the college, what do you need to prepare?"
Qi Yu replied: "I will take a look at the teaching materials in person. As for the etiquette, you can just make arrangements. In short, don't be extravagant and wasteful."
"yes!"
Afterwards, Wei Qingyang from the official office and Fu Xian from the military office also made their own work reports. Generally speaking, they were relatively positive.
After the discussion was over, Qi Yu left Tan Junyan alone again.
"By the way, is that Miss Yin Tao properly placed?"
"My subordinate has found a good house so that she can live there with peace of mind and have no worries about her life."
That's good!
After finishing the work for a while, I will think of some way to send her back to her hometown in Yongchuan, so that I can give Yin Jun an explanation.
Qi Yu smiled with satisfaction and said nothing more. Instead, he put on a leisurely posture and left humming a tune while Tan Junyan looked confused.
This kind of thing becomes darker and darker as it gets described, so it's better not to go into details.
There is another reason why he only spoke a few words, that is, Qi Dalang smelled the aroma of pork head braised in a stick of firewood, and well... there was also the first-class champion chicken that he had not seen for a long time.
No need to guess, it must be my mother's handiwork.
Let’s eat!
When they entered the official residence, they saw that Mrs. Zhou had prepared a table of delicious dishes, including both meat and vegetables, which made people want to eat.
Qi Xiao was greedy and would sneak a piece of meat to eat from time to time, which only made Liu Quan hit his little hand with chopsticks. Xiaotong set out the bowls and chopsticks, poured wine for his father, and then stood there waiting.
Well, this is what home should feel like!
The constant running around for more than a year has almost made Qi Dalang forget the taste of family affection. Now that he suddenly fell into the warm honey jar, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Haha, before I even had a chance to drink the glass of wine, I was already intoxicated and happy.
Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, Qi Yu suddenly noticed that there was one person missing from the seat, so he asked, "Huh? Where did Brother Tong go?"
Mrs. Zhou smiled and said: "He was dragged by your brother-in-law to help pick the animals. It probably means he has long eyes."
Currently, Sun Dacai and his family have been temporarily accommodated by Tan Junyan in a luxurious rented house, and they are living a very comfortable life.
It is said that all the expenses were borne by the Hai family, and he did not need to pay a penny.
"Why does my brother-in-law want to buy livestock?" Qi Yu put down his chopsticks and asked in confusion.
"What else can there be? Of course it's for business." Mrs. Zhou added while holding vegetables for her grandson: "When he was in his hometown, he was used to being taken care of by Master Yu, and he usually carried groceries for the government office.
Yes, he bought it at a low price and sold it at a high price, and made a lot of money. Now that he has arrived in Qiongzhou, he wants to repeat his old tricks and rely on your relationship to find some reliable livelihood, so he is thinking about buying livestock.
.”
Selling groceries?
Qi Yu was a little bit dumbfounded. He felt that his brother-in-law had not changed at all over the years and was as petty as ever.
However, Mrs. Zhou did not show any disdain. On the contrary, she felt that this type of small business was quite suitable for her son-in-law. If you asked him to run a big business like the Hai family, would he have the ability?
"I wanted to let my brother-in-law rest for a few more days, but I didn't expect him to be so impatient." Qi Yu said with a smile.
"No! After you left, he came over several times a day and kept asking you when you would come back. Later, he became anxious, so he invited all the ministers to have a drink privately, and took the opportunity to ask them for such a gift.
make a living."
Invite them to a drink?
Is this necessary?
You found the wrong person, you know?
Qi Yu twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "It's just playing the piano randomly, that's all. I'll make arrangements for this while I'm free in these two days."
Liu Quan took over the conversation and asked: "Well, what position do you plan to arrange for your brother-in-law?"
"He doesn't know much about literacy and can't be an official, but there's nothing wrong with doing some decent work." Qi Yu thought about it for a while, then continued: "Qiongzhou Prefecture has built two new schools this year, one is Qiongzhou's government school.
As for the other newly opened polytechnic, since this opportunity has come up, it is better to take advantage of it. In this way, let the brother-in-law take over the chores of the two colleges. This job is not tiring and dignified, and can also make a lot of money.
.”
The old lady was happy when she heard this: "Well! It's not a bad job. Not only does it protect you from exposure to wind and sun, but you can also make friends with upper-class scholars..."
Liu Quan also thought it was feasible, so the matter was settled.
Afterwards, the family continued chatting while eating.
Not long after, a yamen servant suddenly came in and reported: "Master Qi, a group of beggars suddenly came outside the yamen. They all claim to be your students. Do you want to meet them?"
my student?
Nonsense, I have no professors and no disciples in Qiongzhou Prefecture, so where can I get my disciples?
As soon as I heard about it, I came over here to get some food and drinks.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu waved his hands impatiently and said: "They are just a group of market scoundrels. Just blow them away. No need to ask anymore."
"yes!"
But Liu Quan suddenly said to the yamen servant: "Wait a minute, I'll go out with you to take a look."
"Yes! Madam!"
"Well, lead the way."
Qi Yu was very curious when he saw his wife getting up and leaving, so he simply put down his chopsticks and followed her out.
