There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 88

[Chapter 88, the nobleman arrives]

Yan Zhigao and was excluded in the state government, Mrs. Li was also alienated by the female family members of a wealthy family in Xingzhou, and many families held poetry parties, flower viewing parties, etc., and did not invite the Yan family.

One day, after Daohua finished class, Mrs. Li was instructing her female celebrity, when Yan Zhigao came back from the front office covered in sweat.

“Where did master go? Why are you sweating all over?” Madam Li said as she walked towards Yan Zhigao to help him get out of the palace.

Yan Zhigao sighed: “The rainy season is here, I am worried about the river embankment in my jurisdiction, so I ran to

have a look.” Now it’s June, the weather is already very hot, after running outside for a day, his underwear is wet Thoroughly.

It’s not good for Daohua to stay in the house for a long time, and when she walked out of the house, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of the cheap father who was tanned.

Facing the ostracism of his colleagues, the father with a modest family background can only do everything possible by himself, in case the government makes mistakes and the people under him don’t wear shoes for him.

Dao Hua looked at Wang Man’er: “Mung bean smoothie should be chilled soon, go and get some, father should be very thirsty now.”

Wang Man’er left, Yan Zhigao also changed into homely clothes, Dao Hua went back After returning to the house, as soon as he entered, he heard Mrs. Li’s worried voice.

“Master has to inspect the river embankment tomorrow? Can’t you send someone else to go?”

Yan Zhigao shook his head: “No way, if you send someone else to check, those people will sneak away for a day, and then come back and tell me everything is wrong.” No, so I can rest assured?”

Mrs. Li frowned, and said dissatisfiedly: “The people in this state government are too

… , Then what should I do next? Besides, I have another reason to check the embankment myself.” After

speaking, Yan Zhigao frowned again.

“The Grand Canal flows through Xingzhou. It stands to reason that a sum of money will be used to clean and maintain the embankment every year, but the money has not come down until now. I guess someone above deliberately intercepted it.”

He said . Not stupid, the behavior of his colleagues in the state government all showed that someone above him was suppressing him.

Thinking of Du Shenyi who is in charge of all water conservancy affairs in Zhongzhou Province, Yan Zhigao’s mouth showed a trace of contempt.

This person’s mind is really pitifully small. Didn’t he just agree with the majority of people when he first came to Zhongzhou for a decree he wanted to promulgate?

That decree was very impractical, and it was finally rejected by the Chief Secretary.

In the officialdom, it is very common for everyone to have different political opinions. For such a trivial matter, Du Shenshu can hold grudges until now, and he is convinced.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhigao narrowed his eyes: “If I don’t show some real evidence that the river embankment is silted up or damaged, I’m afraid I will never get the money. At that time, what do you want me to use to repair the river?” Embankment?”

Daohua sat aside and listened silently, she really couldn’t help with these matters at all, so she could only think of ways to make up for cheap father.

At this time, Wang Man’er came over with mung bean smoothie.

Daohua smiled and gave Yan Zhigao a bowl: “Father, have a bowl of mung bean smoothie and go to heat it up.”

Yan Zhigao was not polite, he was indeed so hot that his throat was smoking from running outside, and he drank several bowls of mung bean smoothie Sha, if Mrs. Li didn’t stop him because she was worried that his stomach would get bad from drinking, he would be able to drink the whole pot.

Early the next morning, Daohua went to the main courtyard to pay her respects, and found that the cheap father had been away for more than half an hour. At this moment, the genius was slightly bright.

“Hey, it’s not easy to be an official.” The

state government lobby.

Yan Zhigao sat on the main seat, looking at all the officials in the yamen with an uneasy expression.

Except for the first day he came to take office, he hardly summoned all the officials, but this time, he had to do so.

Even though he reported the damage to the bottom of the river under the rule of Xingzhou, the money for repairing the embankment was still not approved.

It is now the end of June, and the rainy season in Xingzhou is in August and September. If the river embankment is not repaired now, once a flood occurs, the people of Xingzhou will have nothing to do with their lives.

“Let’s talk about it, everyone, who will you send to the provincial government to ask for the money for the construction of the embankment?”

As soon as the words came out, no matter if it was the co-prefect or the judge, they all bowed their heads silently, and did not agree with the person sitting in the main seat. Yan Zhigao looked at each other.

Again!

Whenever opinions were sought, the officials in the yamen shrank away, neither expressing opinions nor opposing what he said. Every time there was a meeting, he was the only one singing a one-man show.

“Slap!”

Yan Zhigao was furious, and slapped the desk hard.

It’s fine for them to steal and play tricks on other things, but the construction of the river embankment is related to the people’s livelihood, and they can ignore it, which is really a burden to the government.

Yan Zhigao sneered: “If the embankment is not built, you know what will happen if there is a flood. At that time, I, the governor of the state, will definitely not be able to escape, but can you be alone?

” There are some people who act as if they have nothing to do with themselves, but this officialdom does not mean that whoever has a strong relationship can climb up. They have not done a few things for the common people, but let you climb to the first rank and second rank. Pin, don’t you feel empty in your heart?”

Hearing this, the officials sitting below lowered their heads, and they knew that Lord Zhizhou was really angry this time, otherwise, he wouldn’t have spoken so bluntly White.

Qian Tongzhi thought for a while, and said with a smile: “Your Excellency, we are serious.”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Master Xiao who Yan Zhigao always brought with him hurried in.

“What’s the matter?”

Yan Zhigao understood Master Xiao, if it wasn’t urgent, he wouldn’t come to interrupt his meeting.

Master Xiao looked anxious and excited: “Master, go home and have a look, a nobleman has arrived.”

Yan Zhigao looked puzzled: “Nobleman, what nobleman?”

Master Xiao lowered his voice: “The one in the station seat.”

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao stood up with a ‘chuckle’, quickly walked off his seat, and when he was about to go out, he turned around and said to Tong Zhi and the others: “You all go away.” After finishing speaking, Quickly trot towards the backyard.

“Master Xiao, what happened, is there anything we can do to help?”

Qian Tongzhi and Wang Tongpan looked at each other, and immediately stopped Master Xiao who was about to leave with a smile.

They heard just now that Master Xiao said the word ‘noble person’.

Not everyone can be called a nobleman these days.

Master Xiao politely exchanged a few words with the two adults, and finally said: “My lords, I don’t like to talk about the affairs of Lord Yan’s house, but if you two want to help, you should think about how to help you get back the building. The money for the embankment?”

After speaking, he smiled, then quickly turned and left.

“Humph, this Master Xiao is a cunning guy.” Wang Tongpan snorted coldly, and then called a servant, “Go, find out, who is here in the Yan family?”

Soon, the servant came back sweating profusely. up.

“Master, I haven’t been able to find out who came to the Yan family, but when I came back, I saw Mr. Zhou Chengye, the grandson of Zhou’s patriarch, entering Yan’s mansion, saying that he was going to meet a guest.

” His complexion all changed.

It is definitely not easy to let Zhou’s parents and grandchildren go there in person under the scorching sun.
