Chapter 108 Worry
At this time, Yang Minglian and Eunuch Chen, who had left the Zhu family, came to the Lanxian Inn. They sat opposite each other, savored tea and talked, and were also talking about the Zhu family.
The last time I came and went in a hurry, Eunuch Chen only accepted the dishes sent by Zhu Kuang, and did not think Zhu Kuang was anything special.
But this time, after close contact, he also had a deeper understanding of Zhu Kuang.
"The person under you is capable, but he is much more capable than the chief clerk." Eunuch Chen, who was slightly drunk, didn't mind telling the truth.
"What the old brother said is that Xiang Zhuan is a little dull and has limited abilities, but his character is pretty good and he has no jealousy, which is also rare!"
Eunuch Chen nodded: "Yes, I also see his performance today. Although I feel a little uncomfortable, I am quite generous. If I can maintain this kind of character, there will be more possibilities in the future. However, this Zhukuan is a blessing for Lan County!"
"Since my brother has also said that this is a blessing for Lan County. It is better to buy a small yard here to support the elderly." Yang Minglian advised again: "If the old brother really doesn't like this place, he can go to my hometown and take care of him!"
In view of the relationship between the two, Yang Minglian planned to support Eunuch Chen, but the last time Eunuch Chen came, his invitation was rejected.
Eunuch Chen laughed and said, "You are right. I will come to Lan County to retire in the future. I will leave the money behind. If there is a suitable yard, you can buy one for me."
Yang Minglian didn't expect that Eunuch Chen agreed so happily and said with a smile: "Old brother, is this a decision?"
"I should choose this private dish of the Zhu family, right? Besides, I guess you should stay here for two years. I am old and take advantage of the fact that you are not disliked now, the right way to retreat bravely. However, before I leave, I will find a way to make an iron stove."
Now the emperor serves the people he trains. If you retreat, you can ensure safety. It is better to leave earlier.
"If the old brother can accomplish this, 90% of the profit will be handed over, 10% will be returned to Lan County, and the other half will be left to Zhu Kuang!" Yang Minglian was also a cheerful person, and immediately expressed his thoughts.
Zhu Kuang's plan is quite big. If Lan County develops step by step according to Zhu Kuang's current plan, it will become the richest county in the surrounding area in less than a few years, and Lan County is about to take off.
Yang Minglian was excited to think that Lan County might have a drastic change during his tenure!
It is his wish to be an official and benefit the people. It is his wish to be realized.
"It's good that you have such a plan. The court has been fighting for years and the treasury is so empty. If you really can make money, it will be beneficial to you. As for me, I am old and have no children. It's useless to ask for how much property I want. That 10% of the profit will be left to Zhu Kuang."
Although he had never read a book, he still had the experience of people in the palace for many years. He knew that Zhu Kuang was not a thing in the pool and would sooner or later soar into the sky.
Although some of the things he is doing now are somewhat inconsistent with the court's emphasis on agriculture, they will not make the court disgusted, and can still do it and get the support of the court.
"I just worry about whether I will think that the county government is involved in business now and therefore scold it!"
He still has to take certain risks in this regard, but the Lan County Government is too poor and has no money to do anything. This is enough for him.
For the future, he is willing to take risks.
"Doesn't think so, this is a good thing." Eunuch Chen shook his head and said.
He has known this over the years that his personality is indeed a bit cruel, but he has a bottom line and will not blame others at will.
Moreover, in the past two years, the prince has been in charge of the country for many times. The prince is a kind person, so he will not hurt the hearts of his ministers for such a thing.
"Old brother, it's really difficult to do something in a remote place like Lan County. If it weren't for someone like Zhu Kuang, I might have worked hard here for ten years, and I might not have achieved anything."
He was originally not born tall and no one could rely on. Although he became a county magistrate, he was such a remote county magistrate. He had originally planned to stay for ten years, but he still had such a surprise.
"On that day, my brother couldn't help you, but I didn't know that it was your luck."
"Old brother, can the magistrate of Jinxian County make a decision?" This is what he has always worried about.
"I haven't heard of this, I think there has been no change."
Seeing Yang Minglian worried about his words, Eunuch Chen asked: "He will be the magistrate of Jin County. If you are the magistrate of Lan County, why worry about this?"
"The county magistrate of Jin County was originally the county magistrate of Lan County. I sued him because of some accidents. Unexpectedly, after being locked up, he not only did not ask for any offense, but instead became the county magistrate of Jin County."
The two of them had already had a festive celebration. According to Li Mingcheng's nature, even if he wanted to turn war into jade, he refused.
Besides, he really looked down on such people, and he didn't want to turn war with him into jade.
"You actually have such grudges. You should have talked to me when I came last time." Eunuch Chen also frowned: "Fortunately, you are at the same level now, so it's not easy for him to plot against you."
Yang Minglian smiled bitterly: "Some time ago, the prefect sent someone to send a letter, asking me to divide 70% of the potatoes and corn seeds into Jinxian after the New Year."
This incident was like a thorn in his throat, which made him worry all the time.
Li Mingcheng clearly planned to take away all the credit in one fell swoop.
Eunuch Chen asked in surprise: "There is such a thing?"
This prefect is so bold. Keeping corn and potato seeds in Lan County was the decision of the crown prince. Could it be that the prefect thinks that his power is greater than that of the crown prince?
But after thinking about it, he also understood that the emperor's grandson came in a disguise that day. In addition to the ones who really knew the grandson's identity, they were the princes of Prince Su's mansion. How could the prefect and the magistrate of Jinxian know?
Therefore, they only thought that the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and no one can control it, so they dared to be so arrogant.
"This time, I'll come here to announce the edict. You are here to build a archway for Zhu Kuang. This matter should be organized earlier."
Yang Minglian immediately understood what Eunuch Chen meant and building a archway under the order meant that the emperor already knew about this, and no matter how much Li Mingcheng planned, it would not work.
He hurriedly smiled and said, "That's right. I'll do this in two days. Although it's winter now, I can't build a archway, but it doesn't hinder the initial site selection."
"Extremely, now choose a location. After the New Year's Spring, the flowers can start building." Eunuch Chen said with a smile: "You are also lucky. Do your best. In the future, my brother will still be waiting for you to enjoy your happiness."
