The next day.
Liu She and Jiang Pengji changed into ordinary people's clothes and walked around Xiangyang district.
Looking at the thriving district, Liu She sighed in his heart. His Majesty's methods were indeed extraordinary.
"Father, are you tired? Do you want to rest in a teahouse? "
Jiang Pengji brought Liu She to see Xiangyang District. Although Xiangyang District was not very prosperous at the moment, according to her plan, it would be reborn in a few months' time. Even Shangjing City could not compare to it.
Jiang Pengji took the opportunity to talk with Liu She about governance. Her father had a deep understanding of governance. He was almost omniscient. He could point out many of her doubts.
Jiang Pengji used to be the commander of the army, but the commander and the district magistrate were two different concepts.
In terms of governance, even if Jiang Pengji had knowledge that surpassed the times, she still had to learn a lot.
"Good … When I retire one day, I'll come to your place and buy a house so that I can retire in peace."
Jiang Pengji said, "If you want to buy a house, you don't have to pay for it yourself. I have lots of land deeds."
She could buy as many as she wanted for a penny.
The first batch of houses were given to her subordinates, and the remaining 50 or so were hers.
The second and third batches were ready to start construction. Jiang Pengji did not lack land deeds and house deeds.
Liu She was speechless. "Fortunately, the world is in chaos. Otherwise, you will be impeached."
He did not need to think to know what his daughter had done. The land deeds she mentioned were not from a legitimate source.
She was the district magistrate, and she had the final say in all the internal affairs of the district headquarters. [0↑ 9 △ Xiao ↓ Shuo △ Net]
If she wanted to buy back the land deeds with a penny, who could say no?
Liu She stepped on the flat bricks, and his wooden clogs made a rhythmic clacking sound. It was crisp and pleasant to the ears.
"I noticed that the people here are well-mannered," Liu She said. "There is no filth on either side of the street."
"You will be fined for littering, and the fine will be double the previous one. There are trash cans on either side of the road, and you can throw it away if you walk a few steps. If you don't lack money, you can throw it away. As long as you have enough property to compensate the district headquarters, I don't mind. "
Even if Jiang Pengji didn't issue such a decree, the phenomenon of people randomly throwing rubbish or spitting had decreased. The entire road was paved with green bricks. When had they ever seen such a smooth and clean road in their lives? If there was an eyesore, how uncomfortable it would be to look at it.
Most of the places in Xiangyang District were under construction. A few areas had been cleaned up.
Under Jiang Pengji's encouragement, many people opened street stalls, which brought some prosperity to the county town.
There was no good tea in the teahouse, so she ordered two big bowls of tea. The color was a little muddy, but the smell was not bad.
"Although it's your first time governing, you're doing much better than me."
This was probably the talent that Ah Min was talking about.
Liu She shook his head secretly. When he was in charge of Hu County in the past few years, he had worn himself thin and weak. Hu County barely had a flourishing scene. It had only been a month since Xiangyang District had emerged from the dark clouds of the earthquake. The people who came and went had smiles on their faces.
He was deeply moved when he saw it.
He did not know if it was because he was too weak, or because His Majesty was too powerful.
Jiang Pengji said, "Like father, like son."
Liu She knew that the words were meant to make him happy, but he could not help but feel proud.
He said, "That's true. It's a family tradition."
The "father and son" were narcissistic and praised each other in disguise.
After drinking tea and putting down two coins, Jiang Pengji brought Liu She to the brick kiln.
"Father, I'll take you to see something."
She ordered people to encircle the area of the brick kiln. Entry and exit had to be strictly checked.
According to Jiang Pengji's plan, green bricks would become the "specialty" of Xiangyang District in the future, so technical protection was very important.
They entered the brick kiln with their personal seal. The closer they got, the hotter the surrounding temperature became.
It was a hot summer day. Soon, Liu She's forehead was sweating.
"What are you looking at?" Liu She was curious.
Knowing that Jiang Pengji had arrived, the craftsman of the brick kiln quickly came out to welcome her. She waved her hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities.
"How are the things I asked you to make a while ago?" Jiang Pengji asked the craftsman of the brick kiln as she walked.
"I've made six batches. Most of the semi-finished products are not ideal. I've only managed to make three sets." The old man showed a pained expression. "I've destroyed the defective products according to my lord's request. The leftovers will be guarded by someone specially to ensure that no secrets will be leaked."
"Three sets? It's better than expected. "Jiang Pengji thought about it and said," Take one set out for the old master to see. "
"Alright. Please wait a moment, my lord."
Hearing this, the craftsman of the brick kiln heaved a long sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off his face.
There were many benefits to helping the lord. Some time ago, the lord was very generous and rewarded him with a land deed.
According to the plan, it should be the second batch of houses to be completed.
Now, the whole family was eagerly waiting for the first batch of houses to be completed and the second batch to be built.
Just based on the appearance of the first batch of houses, how many people were envious of their great luck?
With many years of experience in making pottery, they had won the lord's favor. Now, the whole family was living a good life.
The craftsman of the brick kiln carefully took out a long box and opened it carefully.
The audience in the streaming room thought it was a rare treasure. They didn't expect to see a glass tea set lying inside.
I Love You: "666, the streamer really made glass!"
Laosiji Lianmeng: "It's indeed glass! Although the purity isn't very high, it's very exquisite. " According to the usual plot of novels, this thing was worth a lot of money. The key was that the cost was low. A set of glass could be sold for hundreds of thousands of strings of coins. I'm asking you if you're afraid of this profit!
A thousand strings of coins was equivalent to one tael of silver.
What kind of concept was hundreds of thousands of strings of coins?
Even robbing a bank wasn't that domineering!
Little Angel: "# propping my chin. I'm curious who the streamer wants to trick with this glass."
Shanzhutiao: "It must be someone with a lot of money. If it's not the tycoon of Dongqing, then it's the idiot of the North borderline."
Naturally, people today had never seen glass, not to mention that the glass was indeed beautiful.
It was exquisite and beautiful.
"This thing … How much does it cost?"
Liu She's eyes were filled with amazement. He was a little obsessed, but he quickly returned to normal.
"It's very low." Jiang Pengji didn't specify the exact amount. She just used her thumb to point at the brick kiln behind her. She smiled and said, "When the bricks are baked, they're also baked. Father, look at it. How much do you think it's worth? "
Liu She pondered and said, "Priceless. You want to show me this thing to show your filial piety? "
"Of course. But isn't Xiangyang district too poor? Now we don't even have enough food. I wonder if father can help me? " Jiang Pengji smiled and took out a round bowl that was a few times smaller than a woman's palm. She held it with two fingers and it looked very beautiful under the light. "I heard that in the North borderline, the rich are very rich. They raise horses and cattle in herds. They spend a lot of money without frowning. In order to show their noble status, they like to collect rare treasures. Is this true? "
Liu She understood her intention. It turned out that she wanted him to help her sell it. He asked, "That's true, but they won't be interested in ordinary objects. As for this … There's no doubt that it will definitely be sought after by the nobles of the North borderline. How does Lanting plan to price it? "
"How about 150,000 strings of coins?"
Liu She was so shocked that he almost dropped the glass cup.
150,000 strings of coins?
Even robbing a bank wouldn't make such a huge profit!
Daughter, are you sure you didn't add an extra zero?
"If you can't exchange it with gold and silver, I don't mind using horses or cattle or sheep of equivalent value. Fur is fine too."
Jiang Pengji said calmly. She didn't look like she was the one who had just opened her mouth like a whale.
