After transmigrating into cannon fodder, he had sex with the villain

None of the officials who came here were younger than Gu Zhao, but even if they had some seniority, they didn't dare to act presumptuously in front of Gu Zhao.

Before they came, they had all inquired about the situation of Yaochang Mansion. It can be said that it is a remote village. They heard that Gu Zhao had made some achievements after he left, so they didn’t think much about it. However, since they stepped into the territory of Yaochang Mansion, those original thoughts disappeared. This Yaochang Mansion is not at all the same as they expected.

Some officials already had the experience of serving as local officials, but when they saw the common people walking by in a hurry, talking and laughing, without any distress on their faces, they once doubted whether the information they had obtained before was wrong, but after staying for a few days, they never The local population learned about the changes before and after, and they realized that it was not always like this, but that great changes took place after Gu Zhao came to be the magistrate.

It turned out that these senior officials respected Gu Zhao on the surface, but that was because of Gu Zhao's background. Who in the capital didn't know that although he and Yan Mu were not blood brothers, they were better than blood brothers, so good that they only wore a pair of pants Well, Yan Mu is now a majestic Duke of the State and a celebrity in front of the emperor. They can't think about it before they offend such a person who is backed by the Duke of the State.

Now seeing the straight concrete roads inside and outside Yaochang Mansion, the constant caravans and caravans, and the rubber grass and sunflowers planted in large areas outside the city, these officials' respect for Gu Zhao has become from the bottom of their hearts, and they know very well , How difficult it is to achieve this level in just one year, it may not be possible for other officials to do it in three or six years.

As for those fellow Jinshi who have no experience as officials, they are even more convinced by Gu Zhao now. No wonder he can be a Tanhualang, and no wonder he is valued by the emperor. Officials, such promising officials, they also have to find a way to build a good relationship. It can be said that it is their luck to be an official under Gu Zhao this time.

With the arrival of these officials, Gu Yang became a lot more relaxed and could focus more on his studies. After he traveled all over the territory of Yaochang Mansion and went to the exchange market, he saw that the third brother had a helper, so he asked him again. Gu Zhao proposed his farewell, he wanted to go to the southwest, and Yan Mu happened to be there, and the situation in the southwest was different from that of Yaochang Mansion, so it was very meaningful to go there to experience.

Gu Zhao did not stop him, prepared a carriage for him, sent him off with Mrs. Peng, and sent guards to escort him along the way. Peng Ling did not leave. He was working diligently under Gu Zhao's hands, because he was full of confidence in his ability. There are many, if you want to be a Jinshi in the exam, you don't know how long it takes to achieve it. It's better to take advantage of the current opportunity to get an official position.

It is so difficult to appoint officials in other affluent places, but this is a good opportunity for him in Yaochang Mansion, because there is a shortage of officials here, and scholars can enter the official office. birth.

With helpers, Gu Zhao focused on education, agriculture, and economy in Yaochang Mansion, including workshops.

Asking someone to send over the account books of the government office during this period, Gu Zhao checked the balance on the account and was gratified. In addition to the money from the original house raids, now the local government relies on workshops and tax revenues, there is still a small amount left in the government office accounts. Silver taels.

"My lord," Master Fan reminded Gu Zhao, "The money you invested at the beginning has not been recovered yet."

Gu Zhao saw that although there was a lot of money on the books, he also had a lot of things to do and places to spend money, so he thought about it and said, "Forget it, I don't need this money, so I don't need to withdraw it. Money should be used where it should be used.”

Master Fan thought that only adults can say that there is no shortage of this money, and that no matter how greedy the other officials are, they still can't control their greed to take money from their own pockets, and only adults give money out instead.

"Then what does your lord want to do next?" Master Fan said in his heart, he had prepared a long time ago and knew that his lord would not be able to be idle, this is not a little leisurely, and his lord found something for himself to do.

Gu Zhaoqu tapped on the table and said, "I plan to use this money to build more schools, so that children of the right age can enter the schools to learn how to read, and those who are talented can continue to study."

Master Fan was surprised: "Is it all children of the right age?"

If this is the case, it’s no wonder that the adults don’t want to take out the money, because the investment is too big, and there is no profit to recover, which is completely different from the meaning of running a workshop, but it is obviously a great deal to benefit all the people in Yaochang Mansion. act of kindness.

"I have this plan, but I still need to investigate whether it is suitable, and there is no need for the yamen to spend all the money. It can mobilize rich households and gentry. This is a good deed. The construction of Yaochang Mansion is not the responsibility of this official alone, but all The top priority for the people of Yaochang Mansion." Therefore, it should be no problem for everyone to participate.

Master Fan thought about it too. If your lord allows those merchants to have business, then it is reasonable for them to give back to this land.

After the two discussed, they didn't immediately ask those wealthy gentry for money, but when Gu Zhao was taking people around for inspections, Master Fan let some people out to find out what everyone thought.

The news spread quickly, and the people were extremely concerned.

"I heard no, our prefect wants to build more schools so that children can read and write."

"Is this true? I also want to send my children to learn a few words, and there will be more opportunities to enter workshops than others, but there are only a few schools in Yaochang City, and the threshold is not low. There is also a lot of cultivation, and there is nowhere to go if you want to know how to read."

"Nowadays, in several workshops run by adults, there are literacy classes in their spare time. The more literate workers, the greater the chance of promotion and processing money. It's a pity that we couldn't get in, and we couldn't participate in this literacy class."

"If it is really built by your lord, I will be the first to support it. The amount of repairs your lord accepts will definitely not be too high. Whatever your lord does is not for the benefit of our people."

"Yes, yes, I also support it. My son has been sent to study for two years. When he comes out, he can see if he has a chance to enter a workshop. It would be the best if he can enter a rubber workshop."

The common people now unconditionally support Gu Zhao, the magistrate. They are not stupid, and they can tell which officials are sincerely good to their poor people, and which officials are just superficial. They have heard a lot of good things, But with much talk and little action, in fact, I look down on the people in my heart.It's not like their magistrates, when they ran down to see their living conditions, they still had some candies in their pockets, and when they saw children, they would take out candies to coax them, without any airs.

The common people are discussing, and those businessmen and wealthy households are also discussing.

"The news came from the government office. I'm afraid there is nothing wrong with this matter, and it sounds like it means that children from poor families are exempted from studying in school."

"How many schools do you want to build? If you don't stop repairing, how much money can the government have to support?"

"Nowadays, the government office is not poor on the books, and I heard that the income is quite a lot, but this matter needs to be inquired more clearly, what does Master Gu mean?"

"If you want to find out, it's better to ask Patriarch Yan. Among us businessmen, he is the closest to Mr. Gu, and he also knows Mr. Gu best. Listen to what he has to say."

One person took the lead, and many people went to Yan's house to inquire about the construction of the school.

Master Yan saw so many people coming to his door, he smiled wryly in his heart, they did not go to the wrong place, because Master Fan had specially found someone to let him know, he had to admit that Mr. There was no way not to be hooked.

Of course, facing these people, Patriarch Yan would not express his true thoughts, but said: "You also know that our Yaochang Mansion can't produce many scholars, and there are too few people who can study. Master Gu wants to make political achievements. , this one cannot be left alone, education must start from the baby, so in my opinion, there is nothing wrong with building a school, and the building of a school is a great charity that will benefit thousands of years."

"Of course we know that this is a good thing, but how many schools will we build? How will the schools enroll in Fa?"

"Yan once heard Mr. Gu mention that he wanted more children to have books to read and learn."

"Can this be read?"

"Have you seen the literacy classes in several workshops?"

"You mean free literacy? Really?"

"Maybe other officials don't have the courage, but Mr. Gu may not. Have you ever seen an official like Mr. Gu before?"

They all shook their heads, not to mention that they are in the territory, even in other territories, they have rarely heard of officials like Gu Zhao. They have to admit that as long as they abide by the rules, doing business under Gu Zhao is better than other places. It's much more enjoyable. Although the tax cannot be reduced at all, compared to before, their income this year has increased a lot, so the tax is also paid willingly. They also hope that Gu Zhao can stay here for a few more years and lead them more and more. Make it bigger.

"Then Patriarch Yan means..." Many people found that Patriarch Yan had something in his words.

Patriarch Yan said with a smile: "You know, when Mr. Gu came to our Yaochang Mansion at the beginning, there was no money in the mansion's account. It was Mr. Gu who paid for the mansion to support the mansion. Later, he built a workshop. Mr. Gu If we can do this for our Yaochang Mansion, as Yaochang people, we can't stand by and watch, can't we?"

Someone realized the meaning of Patriarch Yan's words, and what he said was nothing more than the word "yinzi".

"Patriarch Yan, what are you going to do?"

"Haha, Mr. Yan intends to donate a sum of money to build a school to invite his master. Mr. Gu does things for the sake of pleasure. He will never forget Mr. Yan's kind deeds. As long as he writes down a sum in the local chronicles, then Mr. Yan and Mr. The Yan family can also be remembered by Yaochang people in the future."

This made other merchants feel anxious when they heard it. If their merchants have a good reputation, it is also extremely beneficial to merchants, because others are willing to trust them and do business with them, so many wealthy households will pay their own money to build roads and bridges. There are good reputations in the countryside, and Gu Zhao's move is exactly the same.

"Master Gu has gone out. I don't know when he will be back. Can Patriarch Yan ask Mr. Gu for more details?" For example, will there be awards from the yamen?
