Chapter 420 Embarrassing Wang Wenyuan!
In recent days, everyone in Shatin County has been talking about one thing, that is, the matter of donating money from Shatin County’s school.
At the front entrance of the county school, Lord Lu had asked someone to prepare a stone tablet worth more than one meter high. This monument is called the Merit Monument for Aiding for Students. Anyone who donates money to Shatian County School will have a name on the monument. The most eye-catching piece of the stone tablet has a total of 100 names. The donor first and take up the position first. For these hundred names, the donation amount will be at least 100 taels of silver.
Donating more than 500 taels of silver, a good student can recommend a family to enter the county school. The most eye-catching thing is that Ren Jiagen, the shopkeeper of Wanhelou, donated 1,000 taels of silver, with his name engraved in the front position. Moreover, his son Ren Yuequan is also qualified to enter the county school to study.
At this moment, Shatin County became lively. Although Shatin County has a poor academic style, there are many businesses. Although the people are poor, there are also many rich people.
If Ren Jiagen can afford to donate money, is Boss Wang of the Western Sichuan Chamber of Commerce short of money? In the eyes of big business owners like Boss Wang, what is Ren Jiagen a restaurant owner?
So, Boss Wang also generously donated 1,000 taels of silver. Then several bosses were unwilling to fall behind and donated 500 taels of silver. These bosses arranged their children to study in the county.
Shatian County and even the entire Liangzhou have no literary style, but for businessmen, their desire to change their low status is the most urgent!
Dakang court scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were at the bottom, and their status was naturally the lowest. Merchants were not allowed to wear silk and satin when they were rich, nor could they ride in sedan chairs when they were rich, nor could they wear boots when they were rich. If they were rich, they would not be able to do anything about this. If they were in Jiangnan, the merchants could not do anything about it, and they would be unable to reach the top if they wanted to change their background.
However, in places like Liangzhou, merchants can change their ranks. The power families are in power, the emperor is far away, and the Dakang Ruling is in name only. Besides, most of the merchants in Longyou come from other places. They traced back to three generations, and there were almost no locals.
Many of his business records are no longer verified. Longyou is very poor and lacks money. Money can make the devil push the mill. Businesses use money to open up the way. Even if they change their background, they can be invincible.
However, for businessmen, although they have changed their background, they cannot truly become the best people in the eyes of others. Many businessmen have no other skills except doing business in their lives.
Therefore, their generation is not going to be successful, and hope is placed on the next generation. As the saying goes, everything is inferior, but only those who are high in their studies and roosters like Ren Jiagen are very stingy with other things. Only when their son is studying and studying can he be at all costs.
There are many people who have the same mind as Ren Jiagen, and these people have become the objects of Lu Zheng's unity. This is just a clever way to make these shopkeepers and merchants line up to deliver silver!
At this moment, it happened that Wang Wenyuan asked the people below to strictly investigate the business names in the county, and these merchants were even more eager to get the money to be delivered too late.
Nowadays, how can business people stand the investigation? If people in Longyou are not focused on trade with the north, how could there be so many business houses here?
Therefore, businessmen do business like stepping on steel wire, always being cautious, walking on thin ice. Over time, these businessmen have also learned how to deal with officials.
Just like now, their names can be engraved on the towering stone tablet at the entrance of the county school. This incident will inevitably be passed down by the people of the county. In Lu Zheng's statement, these people are all great charitable people who are dedicated to helping the students. How could they communicate with the barbarians of the Turkic in the north in private?
Dian Shi Wei Qing was also in a dilemma, and the headmaster Ban Biao felt even more trouble. In this situation, the county government office workers were all very tight at work. Kou Xiangwen was able to remove the firewood from them, and they could still remain loyal to the county master.
Because they could think of some solutions to the streets and find these merchants, how can the bosses of these shopkeepers not appreciate their face?
He was soft-hearted and had short-handed people. At this time, Wang Wenyuan asked them to stab the merchants' nest and turned against the merchants. It was indeed difficult to do so, but it was difficult to violate his life. Wen Qing and Ban Biao and others pointed at the county master to reward food!
So they found a way to find a way. By chance, Lu Zheng did this at this time, and they just reported the matter to the county master.
Lu Zheng’s county education depends on the help of merchants. Wang Wenyuan claims to attach importance to education. This matter affects the whole body and must be observed!
The merchants just donated silver, and their names were engraved on stone tablets. The people of the whole county praised them. At this time, they had done too much. Is this appropriate?
...
The weather in the back of the county government office gradually began to heat up. There was little rain in the north and the weather was very stuffy. Wang Wenyuan was holding a fan in his hand and was quite irritable.
Master Chen Xiaojing stood at the bottom and didn't say anything, occasionally glanced at Wang Wenyuan with his eyes. For Chen Xiaojing, he was very confused recently. His first concern was the affairs of the fifth concubine in the back of the county government. This woman is getting more and more courageous. Sooner or later, something will happen.
Even if Wang Wenyuan trusts Chen Xiaojing no matter how much he trusts Chen Xiaojing, he cannot tolerate Chen Xiaojing putting a big cuckold on him. Chen Xiaojing is suffering from this matter now.
In addition, Lu Zheng is now infiltration in Shatian County. Originally, Wang Wenyuan was thinking that he was the county lord and sat firmly on the platform, so that Lu Zheng and Kou Xiangwen could fight each other, and he balanced the situation in the center.
But the current result is that the conflict between Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen has intensified. The struggle between the two in the past was now becoming more and more explicit.
However, Lu Zheng cleverly got along well with him. Not only did the two adults get along well with him, but officials at all levels of the county government also get along well with him. Chen Xiaojing still has the big red silver notes in his arms!
Wang Wen is like the sun at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, sunset and mountains, rivers and rivers are setting. Even if he can still die without being stiff at present, he cannot stand the test of time.
Lu Zheng was like the rising sun, and it was already amazing now. Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen had already suffered from the fight with him. In time, Lu Zheng would only become more and more powerful and stronger.
People go to high places and water flows to low places. Chen Xiaojing is not very ambitious, but he is also rational enough. He really wants to take advantage of the recent opportunity to join Lu Zheng's disciple, so that he can rest assured for the rest of his life.
"Filial piety, why don't you speak? Are you thinking about something?" Wang Wenyuan suddenly said.
"Uh...ah..." Chen Xiaojing went completely sleepwalking and was woken up by Wang Wenyuan. He realized that he had lost his composure. He paused and organized his words:
"Master, Lord Lu's hand is beautiful, he really kills three birds with one stone! Who would have thought of a big deal like a county school, but it was difficult to do it after thinking about many ways. Lord Lu actually solved it with just one stone?
I have to accept this matter, I am convinced."
Wang Wenyuan put away the folding fan and said, "Hey, filial piety, I didn't let you flatter. What should I do now? Lord Lu, his reputation in the county is getting stronger and stronger. If this continues, I am afraid that the people of Shatin County will only have Lord Lu in the eyes of Lord Wang, and there will be no more Lord Wang!"
Chen Xiaojing was slightly stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Master, you are so delicious! Master, you are actually the one who cannot be emotional at this time. The more you are, the more critical it is.
The situation in Shatian County is getting better and better this year. It’s like a peach tree we have raised for many years. It finally blossomed and bears fruit this year. The fruit is about to mature, but who can pick it?
Master, Lord Lu was able to be so smooth because you and Lord Kou wanted to pick peaches, but Lord Lu was leisurely and disdainful of it.
And things in the world are often so strange. The more you want in your heart, the less you can get it. If you don’t want to plant willows, you can make shade.”
Wang Wenyuan frowned deeply. He knew that what Chen Xiaojing said made sense, but for him, patience was really painful.
Politics is patience. Wang Wenyuan has never learned anything else in his life, but he has learned patience. He has been patient for more than 20 years before he got a chance to become an official. He worked as a county magistrate for several years, and now it is time to endure again.
People in this world know how to show strength more and fewer people can show weakness. Wang Wenyuan is a master in this field, but today, he is a little uneasy in his emotions and said:
"Do you really do nothing? Wait quietly and quietly?"
Chen Xiaojing said: "Master, you can do something, such as going to the county school again to see the progress of the new school. No one has written the plaque in the new school yet. The county master is qualified to leave the calligraphy to future students of Shatin County School.
Also, those merchants donated money and made a fuss, but they still had a lot of fire. The so-called finishing touch is the adults who can hold a banquet in Wanhelou and invite all these merchants to have a banquet, this matter will be done even more perfectly!"
"I..." Wang Wenyuan took a deep breath, and his emotions suddenly became bad. Chen Xiaojing said: "Don't forget the county master. Shatian County, you are the county master. Whether it is Lord Lu or Lord Kou, they are your right-hand men.
Lord Kou did a beautiful job, and our county’s taxes, money and grain are unprecedentedly abundant. This is your achievements. Lord Lu has transformed our county in terms of county education and education. This is also your achievements. When you don’t come forward at critical moments, who can remember that you are the county master?” Chen Xiaojing said word by word.
Wang Wenyuan's face was gloomy and sunny. Why did he become the magistrate of Shatin? Why was he so keen on promotion? Is it just for the sake of being an official?
