Chapter three hundred and twentieth the lion opens its mouth
There was no anger on Gu Yan's face.
After just staring at Jiang Fan for a while, he suddenly said: "Jiang Chengwei, from your performance during this period, it is enough to see that you are a truly smart person. Then I think you should be very aware of the recommendation of Prince Wu's Mansion.
What is your purpose as a city captain?"
"Oh? You realize that pretending to be innocent is useless, so you finally want to talk seriously?"
Jiang Fan adjusted his sitting posture and said with a smile.
"I'm not pretending to be innocent. I really don't want to have too deep a misunderstanding with Prince Wu's Mansion. That would be of no benefit to me. Of course, the fact that I didn't attack you has little to do with Prince Wu's Mansion's attitude. This point, I
Only the officials are suspected of exaggerating.”
Gu Yan said calmly.
"That's right. Let's all sit together, don't play tricks on anyone, communicate with each other candidly, and see if we can reach a consensus. It's better than being on guard against each other all the time and creating difficulties in communication. Sir, what do you think?
Right?"
Jiang Fan smiled.
Gu Yan nodded and agreed: "Then I won't beat around the bush, after all, there are a lot of things going on in the government office now. During this period, Lieutenant Jiang Cheng, your series of actions almost turned the government office upside down.
It really gives you a headache to wipe your ass. Let’s be honest, are you willing to sell the remaining half of the Lin family’s land?”
"Lord City Guard, there is no such thing as loyalty in this world. Loyalty is only because the stakes for betrayal are too low."
Jiang Fan said with a smile.
Gu Yan understood clearly and sat directly on the chair next to Jiang Fan, and then asked: "So... what are the conditions for the remaining half of the Lin family's land before Jiang Chengwei is willing to sell it to me."
"Lord City Guard, His Highness King Wu did tell me some things related to you before I took office. However, these things have nothing to do with the Lin family's land. Therefore, I personally do not object to the sale of land.
Of course, the land belongs to the Lin family, so even if I really want to sell it, I have to convince the Lin family first. Because I can’t give you an absolute guarantee for the time being.”
Jiang Fan looked sideways at Gu Yanzhi and continued: "In addition, the specific method of selling land cannot be too fair. After all, the face of Prince Wu's Mansion must be taken into account. I, the city captain, was recommended by Prince Wu's Mansion, and I will be the city captain."
Lieutenant's most important task is definitely not to make you, Lord City Guard, too happy."
"Therefore, we need to find a method that is as reasonable as possible and suitable for unexpected circumstances to transfer the land deed. At least let Prince Wu's Mansion see that there are no loopholes in it. Even if they will doubt me because of this, they are not really sure.
I have taken the initiative to comply with your wishes, Lord City Guard, on this matter."
Gu Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "I understand. I will handle this matter. I will give you a satisfactory answer within the next two days."
"Okay, now that we can reach a consensus on the premise, let's talk about the price next. My changes to Heyang City will continue. In this regard, I need your unconditional support, Lord City Shou. Of course, I believe that the city
Master Shou has also seen it. Although what I do will offend too many people, Heyang City itself is constantly developing for the better."
"This change has only advantages and no disadvantages for you, the city guard. Because Heyang becomes better and better, as a city guard, you will naturally gain the greatest recognition. After all, adults
I am the top leader in Heyang. And if I am the bad guy, it will not affect your image in the eyes of other officials, so why not?"
Jiang Fan said with a smile.
Gu Yanzhi frowned, looked at Jiang Fan and asked: "Jiang Chengwei, I will unconditionally support your decree. This is no problem. But I don't understand, what good will such an approach do to you? What Prince Wu's Palace needs is also
It’s not this. As you said, the better Heyang becomes, the greater the benefits I will get, and Prince Wu’s Mansion... won’t like this.”
What Gu Yan said was very straightforward.
Since after a brief confrontation with Jiang Fan, it was determined that both of them were difficult to fool, and they decided to speak openly and honestly, many words had to be kept hidden.
"Master City Guard, serving as an official will bring benefits to the whole country. Whether you believe it or not, I am not from Prince Wu's Mansion. When I become a city captain, I have to do something for the people of Heyang. I have no pursuit of an official career.
, so I am not afraid of offending people. The city of Heyang is not small, but it is big...compared to the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, it is really not big, but it is actually very suitable for achieving some revenge."
Jiang Fan turned his head and looked out the window, and said with a smile: "Lord City Guard, if Heyang can be built into a fairyland on earth, if people don't pick up things on the road, don't close the house at night, both public and private warehouses are abundant, and the men who work the land and the women who do the mulberry work don't lose each other, then the small town will still be home to thousands of families.
The room, the fragrance is unknown to the world, you said... what a sense of accomplishment it must be."
Don't pick up lost things on the road... Don't close your door at night?
Gu Yanzhi was stunned for a moment, subconsciously thinking about that scene, and couldn't help but murmured: "Is this...possible?"
"Of course it's impossible if you don't do it, but if you do it...who knows? You always have to have a dream, what if it comes true?"
Jiang Fan said with a smile.
"Okay, then let me see how Jiang Chengwei can meet his expectations. If Heyang City can really become as good as Jiang Chengwei said, I... I will be very happy."
Gu Yan nodded and said.
"I will try my best and ask the city guard to wait and see. In addition, since the city guard wants to take away all the cultivated land, it means that the Lin family will lose the basis for their livelihood. Although there is a severe drought this year, it is obvious that this drought will not
It may continue forever. The only way for the Lin family who has lost their land is to all move into Heyang City, so the compensation for demolition...must be paid in place, right?"
Jiang Fan said with a lewd look.
"Demolition...compensation?! What do you mean?"
Gu Yan was stunned for a moment, not understanding the word.
"Money, my Lord City Guard, if hundreds of people are going to move to Heyang City, they have to have a place to live, right? Where will the place come from? Of course they have to buy it. And the Lord City Guard should know that I
Is there a brewing workshop over there in the village? Since the land has been given to the city guard, the brewing workshop will definitely have to be moved to Heyang City. This will cost a lot of money. The city guard must provide a suitable one.
What’s the price?”
Jiang Fan twirled three fingers and said.
"How much does Captain Jiang Cheng want?"
Gu Yan asked.
"Not much, one hundred thousand guan is enough."
"How many?!"
Gu Yan subconsciously raised his voice, with a shocked expression on his face.
"One hundred thousand guan, no two prices, if the Lord Keeper agrees, the deal will be concluded."
Jiang Fan said with a smile.
"Lieutenant Jiang Cheng, do you think I'm stupid?"
Gu Yan's face looked gloomy.
"Master Gu, of course you are not stupid, but the question now is not whether you are stupid or not, but that I want this price. Please consider it, Master Gu. I will go back first, and when there is a result... Master Gu will come to me again.
."
After Jiang Fan finished speaking, he stood up with a smile, bowed to Gu Yan and then led Lin Wanqing out of the office.
