I’m The King Chapter 1501: : Han Banner World One Hundred and Ninety One Decisive Battle Six
Stepping into the current Shannan County government office, Mingtai found that he had nowhere to go, because the government office is still a large construction site, with walls, flats, doors and windows repaired, and tiles everywhere. It was a worker, and a middle-aged man in an official uniform was tucking the hem of his official robe around his waist, standing in front of the lobby door and yelling, bending down to grab a stack of tiles himself from time to time, He straightened his back, waved his hands, and threw the whole stack of tiles into the hands of the workers on the roof. Not only this official, but also the few guards in the government office, like this official, are covered in dust and sweat, working together with the workers.
All this made Mingtai and his followers dumbfounded.
After throwing another stack of tiles on the roof, the official turned his head inadvertently, and saw Cao Tianci and his party standing at the gate, he laughed a few times, clapped his hands, and strode away When he came over, mud splashed wherever he passed, adding a lot of mud spots to his already dirty official robe.
"Minister Cao, you are back. This is Commander Ming. I have heard about you for a long time!" Then she turned around, looked at Mingtai, and stretched out her hands enthusiastically.
Looking at the pair of gray hands, Mingtai hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and shook it with his opponent.
"Wonderful, Commander Ming is really a great person." The official smiled even more happily, "I will treat you tonight, Wu's Wine Industry's top-notch collection of wine. It cannot be sold on the market!"
Hearing this, Cao Tianci couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Chen Gang, you bastard, when I came a few days ago, I asked you to serve this wine to the guests, and you pushed left and right to block, no matter what. Today is the first time Once I saw Commander Ming, I took out the wine without hesitation, you are not afraid that I will hold a grudge?"
Chen Gang rolled his big eyes. "Minister Cao, look at what you said. With your status and your relationship with the Wu family, you can get this wine no matter how little it is, and you can get as little as you drink. I am different. In order to get this jar Wine, I put a lot of effort into it. I paid a lot of favors. Lao Wu Yizheng just wrote me a note to get this jar and drink it for you, wouldn't it be a waste."
When Mingtai heard this, he felt embarrassed, waved his hands again and again and said: "Your Majesty Chen, you are being polite, this is not right, just order some wine casually."
Chen Gang shook his head again and again, "No, no, just because Commander Ming made you willing to reach out and shake my dirty hands, it's worth this jar of wine. You must drink it, you must drink it."
Cao Tianci shook his head again and again: "I dare you to retaliate when I came two days ago and refused to shake hands with your dirty hands."
Chen Gang laughed.
"Commander Ming. Let me introduce you. This is Chen Gang, the new governor of Shannan County. He was promoted from Cangzhou. When he was in Cangzhou, he was responsible for the economic development of Cangzhou. There are many wonderful ideas, and the Zhengshitang transferred him because of his ability to make money. Shannan County connects the prairie with the interior of Qin, and is located at an important point. If it develops here, it will be of great help to the future Qin and Qin. The development of the prairie is extremely beneficial.”
"It turned out to be Governor Chen!" Although he had already expected it in his heart. But after hearing Cao Tianci's official introduction, Mingtai was still taken aback, while Qin Yijian and the others behind him gasped even more. The majestic governor of a county, this is a big official in the frontier, and he actually works as a migrant worker in the government office, without the slightest appearance of a high-ranking official.
"Just kidding, just kidding." Chen Gang smiled at the crowd: "Chen was just a businessman in Cangzhou before. A little grade."
"It's not a little achievement." Cao Tianci said with a smile: "It's rare for the several members of the Political Affairs Hall to agree on the government when they selected you to come to Shannan County. You must know the county guards who sent people to Chu to receive them a few times ago. Hey guys, didn't they get blushed and thick necks because of that one?"
Chen Gang chuckled, but his face was full of complacency.
"Don't be complacent. If you don't do well this year, the people of Shannan County may not choose you again!" Cao Tianci joked.
"Minister Cao, don't worry, I'm still confident about this. After three years, I vow to remove this character. Commander Ming, please this way, please this way. The main hall is still being renovated, so I really can't get in." , let's go to the side room to talk."
Compared to the messy lobby, the side room is clean, but there is still a smell of lime, obviously the wall has just been painted.
"Governor Chen, with all due respect, you are the governor of a county. You must have a lot of things to deal with, so why did you do this?" The two sat down, and Mingtai also asked unceremoniously, although he and Chen Gang were only friends. When we met for the first time, we only talked a few words, but Mingtai, who is good at observing people, has already found that this person is an extremely straightforward and capable person, and he certainly doesn't like to beat around the bush. Cao Tianci asked him to take a good walk in the Han Kingdom, take a look, and get to know the real Han Kingdom. Mingtai felt that if he wanted to understand the Han Kingdom, it was better to get to know the officials of the Han Kingdom at the first time. Over the years, he has always been curious about the efficiency and integrity of Han officials.
Hearing this, Chen Gang couldn't help but sighed, "Who said it wasn't, but look at my government office, it's a mess. During the war, our officer He was very happy with the artillery, but he After a slap on the **** and left, it would be miserable for me to take over. Those profiteers are the ones I hate the most." Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing. And Cao Tianci and Mingtai also laughed, because Chen Gang himself said earlier that he was also a businessman before.
"Those businessmen, they hired people away at high prices. I have been unable to find manpower. Later, I finally got more people, but I have to repair the streets and city walls first. I can't keep the city in a mess. , but I only care about my own comfort. This procrastination has dragged on until now, but there will always be a shortage of manpower. Is it a person's salary?"
Listening to Chen Gang's explanation, Ming Tai and the others from the Qin Kingdom were dumbfounded.
"Shouldn't the mansion be repaired first?" Qin Yijian asked in surprise. "Also, those merchants really dare to rob you?"
"Why not? The price they offered is high, and I only have such a small amount of money in my pocket. You don't know, but Minister Cao knows what kind of person that stingy guy Wang Wudi is. There are so many things to do, there is no way, one can be saved."
"Why are there so few people in the government office? I only saw seven or eight people just now. Could it be that Junshou Chen relies on these few people to help with errands?" Qin Yijian continued to ask.
"Enough is enough!" Chen Gang nodded and said, "All the departments under the government office have special departments. I can't use so many people here. If there are too many people, I won't be able to do things. It's easy for you to push me and let me wait. In the future, when I can't get rid of it, I will hire a few people temporarily. After finishing the errands, I will go back to each house and find my mother. I don't want to spend this unjust money. By the way, Minister Cao, our emperor once said that officials What is it used for?"
"Your Majesty said that officials should be used as servants and livestock. If you want to be an official, you have to do this. Otherwise, why would the country pay you such a high salary?" Cao Tianci laughed.
"That's right, that's the reason. Don't be an official anymore!" Chen Gang laughed.
People from the Qin State are all silent, and being an official in the Han State is still a hard job. For a county guard like Chen Gang, I am afraid that no one is willing to do it in the Qin State. Mingtai also understood that the thinking of Han officials was not at all the same as that of Qin officials.
What is people-oriented? that's. What is putting the people first, Han officials have already done it.
When the food was on the table, the sheriff Chen Gang, who was covered in sweat and mud, finally went to wash up, changed into a clean robe and walked back, carefully holding a wine jar in his arms. Putting the wine jar on the table, he took a deep breath first, and shook his head: "Commander Ming, don't look at this jar as ordinary, it's not the fancy wine package that Wu's sells, which is called high-end wine. Comparable, this is the real Wu's top wine."
"Back to basics, it should be so." Mingtai nodded in praise.
Cao Tianci on one side was getting impatient, and snatched the jar as soon as he stretched out his hand. He is a master of martial arts, and Chen Gang was just a businessman before. When it was in Cao Tianci's hands, he slapped the mud seal open and tore off the paper, and a refreshing fragrance immediately diffused in the house.
"Be careful~IndoMTL.com~Be careful!" Chen Gang on the side kept saying.
"What are you afraid of? If you spill a drop, I won't drink a glass today." Cao Tianci laughed, stood up, turned his wrist, and the thick wine fell in a stream. To fill Mingtai's cup.
"Good skill!" Mingtai himself is also a master of martial arts, so he naturally knows the difficulty of Cao Tiancilu's move.
Cao Tianci smiled and filled everyone at the table, "Whoever sees it has a share, a rare good wine is good."
A jug of about five catties of wine was poured down in a circle, and a third of it was gone immediately. Mingtai watched Chen Gang's eyebrows move every time a glass of wine was poured, obviously distressed, and couldn't help but feel amused. Seeing that Cao Tianci came back and put the wine jar on the table, he lifted it up, handed it to Chen Gang, and said with a smile, "A glass of good wine is enough, and I will save the rest. Think about it. If I drink it all in one go, I will drink it up instead. It's boring."
Chen Gang was overjoyed, and hugged the jar tightly in his arms, "Ming Commander really is a person who understands wine." He stood up, holding most of the jar of wine, and left in a hurry, leaving behind Cao Tianci Stunned on one side.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, I was going to beat him to the bone." (To be continued.)
