Chapter 88, nobles arrive
Yan Zhigao was squeezed out of the Zhouya, and Mrs. Li was also alienated by the female relatives of the big families in Xingzhou. Many people held poetry parties, flower viewing parties, and so on, but they did not invite the Yan family.
One day, Daohua finished her class, and Mrs. Li was instructing her female red. At this time, Yan Zhigao came back with sweat.
"Master, where did you go? Why are you all sweaty?" Madam Li said as she walked to Yan Zhigao to help him get rid of the government.
Yan Zhigao sighed: "The rainy season is here. I don't worry about the river embankment in my jurisdiction. I ran to take a look."
It’s now in June, and the weather is already very hot. After a day of running outside, his inner shirt is soaked.
It’s not easy for Daohua to stay in the house more. When she walked out of the house, thinking of the cheap father who had been tanned, she didn’t feel very comfortable.
Faced with the crowding out of his colleagues, his father, who is not a hard-rooted family member, can only do everything possible, in case the government makes mistakes and the people under his hands wear small shoes to him.
Daohua looked at Wang Man'er: "Mung bean ice cream should be ready soon. Go and get some. Father should be very thirsty now."
Wang Man'er left, Yan Zhigao also changed home-made clothes, Daohua went back to the house, and heard Mrs. Li’s worried voice as soon as he entered.
"Master will have to inspect the embankment tomorrow? Can't you send someone else?"
Yan Zhigao shook his head: "If you don’t go, you can’t do it. If you send someone to check it out, they don’t know where they will go for a day, and then they come back and tell me there’s nothing wrong, so I can rest assured?"
Mrs. Li frowned and said dissatisfied: "There are too many people in this prefecture."
Yan Zhigao waved his hand: “It’s just that the officialdom is suppressed. I don’t have a stiff family background. If I can’t stand even this bit of anger, what will I do afterwards? Besides, there are other reasons why I personally inspected the riverbank.”
As said, Yan Zhigao frowned again.
"Xingzhou has a Grand Canal flowing through it. It stands to reason that there will be a sum of money to clean and maintain the river embankment every year, but this sum of money has not come down until now, I guess someone from above deliberately intercepted it."
He is not stupid. The faction of his colleagues in the prefectural government all shows that someone above him is suppressing him.
Thinking of Counsel Du, who is in charge of all water conservancy affairs in Zhongzhou Province, a trace of contempt appeared at the corner of Yan Zhigao's mouth.
This person’s mind is really pitiful. Didn’t he just agree with the decree he wanted to issue when he first came to Zhongzhou to work?
The decree was very unrealistic, and it was finally rejected by the Chief Secretary.
In the officialdom, people have different political opinions. It is really too common. For such a small matter, Counsel Du can bear his hatred until now, and he has also accepted it.
Thinking of this, Yan Zhigao squinted his eyes: "If I don't provide some evidence of the blockage or damage of the river embankment, I am afraid that I will never get the money. At that time, what will you let me repair the river? embankment?"
Daohua sat aside and listened silently. With regard to these things, she really couldn't help at all, so she could only think of a way to make up for the cheap father.
At this time, Wang Maner came over with a mung bean smoothie.
Daohua smiled and gave Yan Zhi Gaosheng a bowl: "Father, drink a bowl of mung bean smoothie and go get hot."
Yan Zhigao was not polite, he was so hot that his throat was so hot that he drank several bowls of mung bean smoothie even when he drank several bowls of mung bean smoothie. If Mrs. Li was worried that his stomach would stop him from drinking, he would be able to drink all of it.
Early the next morning, Daohua went to the main courtyard to ask for peace, and found that the cheap father had been gone for more than half an hour. At this moment, the genius was slightly bright.
"Hey, it's not easy to be an official."
Zhou Ya lobby.
Yan Zhigao sat on the main seat, looking at all the officials in the government with an unpleasant expression.
Except for the first day when he took office, he hardly summoned all the officials, but this time, he had to do so.
Even if he reported it with the real evidence of the damage to the bottom of the river under Xingzhou's governance, the money for repairing the river embankment was still not approved.
It is now the end of June. The rainy season here in Xingzhou is in August and September. If the river embankment is not repaired now, once a flood occurs, the people of Xingzhou will be in trouble.
"Let’s talk about it, everyone, who will be sent to the provincial government to ask for money for the construction of the river embankment?"
As soon as he said this, no matter whether it was the same knowledge or the judgment, he lowered his head silently, and did not look at Yan Zhigao who was sitting on the main seat.
Again!
As long as he asked for opinions, the officials in the yam shrank and did not express any opinions or object to what he said. Every time a meeting was held, he was alone in a one-man show.
"Snapped!"
Yan Zhigao was full of anger and slapped him on the desk.
It’s nothing more than stealing, rape, and slippery. But the construction of the river embankment is a major matter of people’s livelihood, and they can ignore it. It is really a burden on the government.
Yan Zhigao sneered: “If the river embankment is not built, you know what will happen if the flood occurs. At that time, my Zhizhou will definitely not be able to escape, but can you be alone?”
"I know that there are people behind you, all of whom have nothing to do with your high-hanging attitude, but this officialdom does not mean that whoever has a hard relationship can climb up. I haven't done a few things for the people. Is it true that you can climb to the first and second products?"
Hearing this, the officials sitting below had their heads lowered. They knew that Master Zhizhou was really angry this time, otherwise, they would not speak so bluntly.
Qian Tongzhi thought for a while, smiled and said, "My lord is serious, we."
Before I finished speaking, I saw Master Xiao, who Yan Zhigao often took with him, hurriedly walked in.
"what happened?"
Yan Zhigao understands Master Xiao, if it is not an emergency, he will not come to interrupt his meeting.
Master Xiao looked a little anxious, but also a little excited: "Master, you go home and have a look, there is a nobleman here."
Yan Zhigao looked puzzled: "Noble man, what kind of man?"
Master Xiao lowered his voice: "The one in the post."
Hearing this, Yan Zhigao stood up with a'hit', and walked off his seat quickly. When he was about to go out, he turned his head and said to Tongzhi and others: "You are all separated." After speaking, he moved quickly. Trot over in the backyard.
"Master Xiao, what's the matter, is there anything we can help?"
Qian Tongzhi and Wang Tongzheng glanced at each other, and immediately stopped Master Xiao, who was about to leave with a smile.
They could hear it just now, and Master Xiao said the word ‘noble person’.
Not everyone can be called a noble person these days.
Master Xiao politely exchanged a few words with the two adults, and finally said: "Two adults, I can't say anything about the affairs of Master Yan's house. However, if the two of you want to help, it is better to think about how to help the adults get back the building. Money from the embankment?"
After speaking, he smiled, and then quickly turned and left.
"Huh, this Master Xiao is a slippery head." Wang Tongzhen snorted coldly, and then he called in the young man, "Go, ask, who is the Yan family?"
Soon, Xiao Si came back in sweat.
"Master, I couldn't find out who came to Yan's house. However, when I came back, I saw Zhou's parents and son Zhou Chengye entering Yan's house, saying that he was going to visit guests."
Upon hearing this, Wang Tongzhen and Qian Tongzhi both changed their faces.
It is certainly not easy to let Zhou’s parents and grandchildren take a trip in person under the scorching sun.
