Chapter 154
.”
Gao Chengduan responded respectfully.
Although he is the lowest-level official, he is also the candidate for an official position, which is a difference between heaven and earth compared to his previous public official status. Once he becomes an official, he becomes an official household. He is more or less favorable, and he can also slowly advance according to his seniority. This is something Gao Chengduan thought about day and night, and his dream finally came true today.
Gao Chengduan thanked him so much. Xu Ping and Shi Quanbin comforted him for a long time before calming him down. He stood by himself and slowly savored him.
Xu Ping called Shi Quanbin and flipped over the manuscript on the table and asked, "How is it? The book engraving company has opened for some days, so there is no problem printing these? It probably won't take many days, and new public officials will be recruited, and they will have to do things according to the new regulations in the future. Before that, the new three-secret regulations must be printed one after another."
Shi Quanbin said: "We are discussing this matter. It is okay to print the text, but some of the pictures inside are difficult to deal with. If we use carved plates, it will take time and effort and it will be difficult to arrange the layouts together. The result of our two commercial practices is that the charts are printed with carved plates and attached to the back of the text. What do Yunxing thinks?"
Xu Ping thought about it and said that it is not impossible to use charts as attachments, but it is also one of the common practices in books. However, the books of this era are large in characters, and each book is thin in each book. It is inconvenient to read after the charts are separated and it is not intuitive.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Ping said, "Leave this to me, you can do it according to your own ideas first."
Anyway, this time it is the first version of the emergency, and the successor will be revised soon, so there is no need to worry about these details.
At this moment, a soldier quickly walked to the door and whispered loudly: "Report to the deputy envoy. Several soldiers from the yamen came to ask for their visit, saying that they were the old subordinates of the deputy envoy when he was in Yongzhou."
"Oh, may the Qiaodaoxiang Army finally arrived?" Xu Ping stood up, "Let them in quickly!"
After leaving the wing room, Xu Ping returned to the main hall.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw several big men following the soldiers guarding the gate of the Sansi and were walking in.
The leading man saw Xu Ping and walked forward quickly, crossed his hands and saluted: "A subordinate Lu Fang, I have met the county marquis!"
Xu Ping looked at Lu Fang who had been separated for a long time, looked at him with a surprise expression, and looked up and down, "Lu Fang, when did you transfer to Qiaodaoxiang Army? Didn't you tell me that you all led your troops?"
Lu Fang felt a little embarrassed: "I'm tired of staying in Lingnan, I'm transferred here on my own initiative. Anyway, I didn't have any family burden, so I just came to the capital to check it out. It would be more comfortable to do things under the county marquis!"
"Okay, okay, the prosperous place in the capital is here to take a look."
Xu Ping said, while letting his former subordinates come into the house and sit down.
When Wang Gongchen and others saw that they were Xu Ping's guests, they didn't know what their origins were. They said hello and went to work separately.
The miscellaneous officials had a tea, and Xu Ping asked about their experiences on the road casually. Although Lingnan was far away, these bridges and roads still used too much military time, and they were still military personnel.
Lu Fang said: "I don't know that the county marquis didn't know that we were walking along the way. We all know that the roads in Yongzhou are good. Many of the prefectures and counties passed by us have to build bridges for the local area. Some local officials have extraordinary identities and are not easy to refuse. Although there are not many roads built along the way, there are actually many bridges, so it is delayed."
Many prefects and prefects are outside the office as senior officials of the court, and some are royal relatives. Ordinary local officials do not care about it. If they encounter such open bridges and roads, it is difficult to refuse, so they have to work and walk along the way.
Xu Ping found it funny when he heard it. There is nothing he can do about it. He will benefit the people for the sake of the people. Build a bridge to the local area. The people will pay their respects to your good deeds. Which one will let go of such good things that have been picked for free? If he is now a local magistrate, if he encounters such an army, he will definitely leave something behind.
One of the commanders from Qiaodaoxiang Army who came from Yongzhou had turned around halfway and went directly to Luoyang, Xijing, waiting for Han Zong there, and following him to Shaanxi Road. The remaining people were led by Lu Fang, and they arrived outside Tokyo yesterday. After handing over the official business there, several leaders followed Lu Fang together to meet the old commander Xu Ping.
