The four-pound old tortoise was a bit tonic, and drinking two bowls of soup in a row made Jia Liu's anger a little weak.
Shockingly coquettish.
Of course, he would definitely not be able to eat an old bastard, so he decided to kill one and let Shuan Zhu share the rest with Sauron's soldiers.
To say that the turtle head meat is really tender, it would be even better with black-bone chicken.
“I didn’t intend to disturb the local area when I returned to my hometown this time, but I didn’t expect my parents to come anyway.”
Even though Jia Liu was a high-ranking official from the central government, he was still very polite to the prince of his hometown county.
As a human being, no matter where you are, you can't do it in front of your parents in your hometown.
The Jinling Administrative Committee is a first-level unit directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a central department.
However, Wang Zhixian came empty-handed, which made Manager Jia's polite words like "Come just come and bring any gifts" useless.
There was a hint of dissatisfaction in his heart. It was clear that the Qianlong Dynasty was a master of corruption, but since Jia Liu became an official, few people seemed to have given him gifts.
Counting carefully, up to now, the number of gifts I have received has never exceeded five times, and they are all small and small. For example, when I became the foreman, I received two silver ingots from Wang Fu and Shu Wenqing.
The only major improvement was the filial piety of the Luzhou magistrate.
Nothing more, just like Jia Liu being an upright official, he had to figure out how to earn money by himself, and after that, he still had to be a money-spreader and give gifts to others, and he never looked back.
Forget it if he didn't give gifts, Jia Liu didn't care about the three melons and two dates in Wangzhi County. He didn't expect that these old parents would in turn make Mr. Jia bleed.
What does the magistrate mean?
The people in Quwo live in poverty, and many specialties in their hometown have no market. Therefore, in order to improve the living standards of the people, the county magistrate hopes that Manager Jia, the largest official alive in Quwo County, can actively contribute to the economic development of his hometown.
"What do you mean, old parents?"
Jia Liu listened carefully. No matter what, his ancestral home was Quwo. If the people in his hometown had needs, he would still find time to deal with them even if he had many things to do.
The minimum donation that is psychologically acceptable is five thousand taels.
Don't help the poor, but the emergency.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhixian hoped that Mr. Jia could use his influence to help promote hometown specialties in the capital, such as lotus root, garlic, mutton and so on.
In this way, the things cultivated by the people will have a market and they will make money, and their living standards will naturally improve.
"Invite investment?"
Jia Liu's eyes were opened, and he didn't expect that the old man in front of him who was over fifty years old was still a pragmatic official and had a certain concept of economic development.
"It's rare for old parents to work so hard for the people of Quwo. Although Jia is not a high official, he will definitely contribute to this matter."
Jia Liu readily agreed and told Wang Zhixian Jinghou that there would be news within a month at the latest.
Although he is only the director of the Jinling Management Committee now, he is still capable of helping a county develop.
Sichuan is too far away, and transportation is inconvenient these days. Most things that are shipped will break down on the road, but the capital is not far away.
You can say hello to the rich man, and it is okay for a large government office like the Ministry of Rites to purchase specialties in Quwo every year.
Let's talk to Zhongtang, and it will be no problem for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to set up several purchasing points in Quwo.
Even in Jingling, they can buy it exclusively for their own use.
"The road must be repaired and the transportation must be convenient before things can be transported out. Otherwise, even if Jia brings sales to the people in his hometown, it will be impossible if the things cannot be transported away."
Jia Liu thought that after getting steam engines from foreigners, he would first build a railway from Quwo to Beijing, and shake the dragon's veins first.
Out of the desire to benefit the people in his hometown, the old bastard Jia Liu was so flustered that he took the initiative to donate 5,000 taels of silver notes to Quwo County Government for local road construction.
He patted his chest again and said that there were any engineering projects in the county, and he boldly reported them to the government and the province. Later, he helped move around in Beijing. Although he was not familiar with the Ministry of Industry, he could always find people if he asked for help. He would definitely not ignore his hometown.
The people moved the old magistrate to the point of tears and expressed on the spot that they wanted to build a shrine for Mr. Jia.
There is no need to build a shrine. Jia Liu does not want to enjoy the treatment of nine thousand years.
Wang Zhixian, who was grateful and prepared to go back, proposed that he would like to see the thousand-year-old tortoise found in Da Taibao's tomb to open his eyes.
"Oh, it's not a spiritual turtle. The ignorant villagers are just talking nonsense. There is a turtle. It looks old. I ordered it to be released."
Jia Liu felt guilty and used his sleeves to cover a pile of turtle bones without anyone noticing.
After sending Wangzhi County away, Jia Liu felt that he was a really good person.
Friends have been promoted and made a fortune, colleagues have been enjoying things, officers and soldiers have been improved in salary, and now they are still worried about the improvement of the people's lives in their hometown. They are also thinking about helping the old man who has been dead for a hundred years to move to a comfortable place. No matter how you look at it, he Jia Jiashikai
They are all enough to be famous in history and be popular for eternity.
The next day was another busy one, and I finally finished the matter of moving the old man's grave.
The happy time is always short-lived. In the reluctant eyes of the Jia clan, the third grandfather is going back to Beijing.
I really couldn't stay any longer. I went back to my hometown this time and paid more than 14,000 taels of blood, which is the same as Quwo County's annual revenue.
If he stays any longer, Grandpa Jia San might have to return to Beijing naked.
However, because Third Grandpa was so good to the clan members, Youzhen asked on behalf of the clan members whether Third Grandpa could help them find a job in Beijing.
Looking at the eager eyes of a group of old men and the poor living environment of his tribe, Jia Liu couldn't open his mouth to refuse.
Reluctantly, I agreed.
He doesn't have much power as the current manager of Jingling, but he can still arrange a job for a group of nephews and grandnephews to look after the gate.
Now I asked Youzhen to make a register and outsource the Jingling gate to the Jia family when I got back. Some projects could also be handed over to them.
Fertilizing water should not flow to outsiders' fields.
The relatives who saw him off sent Third Grandpa away for seven or eight miles, and then reluctantly watched Third Grandpa ride away.
At the same time, Xiaozhai, Sichuan.
The "Loyalty Building" hall was jointly opened by Sichuan Governor Li Shijie and Dingxi Zuo Deputy General Bo Qing'e.
Since it is a trial opening, all those attending the opening ceremony are members.
After the ceremony, according to prior arrangements, the first backbone membership meeting of the Joint Advancement Association was held immediately.
Vice President Bo, who presided over the meeting, was about to start. Wang Fu, deputy general of Chengdu Town, stood up and proposed: "In view of Mr. Jia Jia Shikai's outstanding contribution to our association, I propose that Mr. Jia Jia Shikai be the lifelong honorary chairman of our association."
President, and has the lifelong right to guide our association. Please vote by show of hands!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
More than a hundred hands were raised.
President Li glanced at Vice President Bo, who also raised his hand high, picked up a small hammer and struck it: "All approved!"
The venue immediately burst into warm applause.
At this meeting, in addition to electing Jia Jiashikai, who was not present, as the lifelong honorary president of the association, 11 members of the executive committee were elected, and the organizational structure was improved, adding four more personnel offices, financial offices, liaison offices, and special affairs offices.
First level institution.
In addition, 18 branch presidents from various regions were elected.
After the meeting, at the suggestion of Vice President Bo, all members began to eat and drink, and received services from technicians specially hired by Zhongcheng Building.
Of course, there is a purpose.
The purpose is to provide opinions on the services provided by the club so that they can be corrected in a timely manner.
Because after the Zhongzhong Building officially opens, it will only receive officials of fifth rank and above.
Therefore, it must be professional.
"Isn't this too much?"
The deputy general of Jinchuan Town, Zu Yingyuan, who had just been elected as the executive committee member of the Joint Development Association, was worried about this.
Wang Fu put the small book into his pocket, glanced at the "For the Qing Dynasty" plaque hanging above the guild hall, and said with profound meaning: "Master Jia once said that you cannot understand the enemy deeply without penetrating into the enemy's interior. Violent means
This is the last resort for us to seize power, and peaceful means are the best option.
What is peaceful means? It is to let our original enemies become our friends or even one of us under our corruption.
For this purpose, it is necessary for us to sacrifice ourselves. If we cannot understand the deeper meaning, we will not be able to better complete the sacred mission entrusted by your Excellency."
After saying that, he happily stepped forward and whispered to Mother Gu who was arranging the girl.
This made Gu's mother's eyes dazzle, and she gave Deputy General Wang a charming look: "Don't let the daughters get this red envelope, I'll give it to the adults."
